A young woman walked into the lounge, a very unique looking Eevee wrapped around her neck, head peeking out of her hair. Her hazel eyes scanned the room for a place to sit and decided on a table in the corner away from the chaos of the trainers all trying to show off or get ready. She commanded her Growlithe and Houndour to follow and they went to sit at the table together; the Growlithe flopping alongside her and the Houndour on guard and growling at anyone who happened to wonder too close to her trainer. They set down at the table, the Houndour between her and the crowded room. Nothing of interest was going on in the room so she pulled a book out of her side bag and began to read.
A few minutes later, a young man wearing a torn up white jacket walked up to her table, setting off the Houndour. "Down, Athena!" She commanded without looking up. Athena laid down across her feet watching the young man.
He cockily introduced himself as Drake and she replied "Morgan" before returning to her book.
"What cha' readin'?" Now he was just being annoying. She couldn't read anything if he wouldn't shut up.
"A book." She replied without looking up.
Drake, apparently did not get the idea, "Are these the Pokémon you're competing with? They don't really seem to meet the starter qualifications, do they? Well that Eevee does but…"
"Did you want something or..?" She cut him off and that finally seemed to stop him for a moment.
"Uh.. no just saw you by yourself and thought you could use the company…"
Now, she was annoyed and just wanted to read, so she finally looked up and asked him about another girl in the room all by herself, Sabrina's daughter Ava.
"Um you mean Ava?" He said looking over at the young psychic.
"Sure, if that's her name." She went back to reading her book hoping the other girl had distracted him. Ava was famous so everyone wanted to be around her for the attention.
"Don't want to media attention." He replied.
"So you're saying nothing could make you go over there?" An idea had popped into her head.
"No, I can't see why…" Before he could finish, Morgan got up and walked over to sit next to Ava with her Pokémon in tow. She went back to reading her book and smiled when he didn't follow.
A few minutes later, she noticed everyone's attention go to the screens showing the current battle. Think that finally there was something interesting going on she looked up to see out on the battle field an Abra was evolving into a Kadabra. The trainer, a girl, started swaying, threw up, and then passed out on the field. She must not have had any psychic skills to deal with her Abra. With the Kadabra losing control, the guards began to send out their Pokémon to subdue it. Suddenly, the Pokémon started evolving yet again into an Alakazam. Morgan stood up suddenly shocking her Pokémon around her feet. This was not looking good. The boy she'd been talking to before, Drake, ran past her shouting something about the Pokémon being scared. After a second of hesitation she followed after him.
