Tobias, Volkner, Rosalie and Aurora. That sounds like a nice group! "Rai! Rai!" Raichu complains to me as I hold him in my arms with care. "What? Are you okay Raichu?" He jumps out of my arms and points at a girl. Midnight Black hair, shoulder-length, beige T-shirt, denim skirt and teal eyes. "Marisol?" I mumble to myself. With Raichu, I run towards the girl. She turns around with a disgusted face on. "What are you doing here?" She says with an irritated tone. "Hi Marisol! It's been SOOO long since I've seen you!" "Rai! Rai!" Marisol analyzes my outfit. "Hmph! You haven't changed a bit now. Have you?" "Excuse me? I have too changed!" She gives me a deadly stare. "Not to me you haven't." Marisol has been mean to me ever since the 3rd grade! And she still, still, hasn't stopped! "Why don't you drop it Marisol? You've been a jerk to me ever since I told you my grandmother, Ann, was Top Coordinator!" She smiles deviously. "Which is exactly why I want, wait, need to be Top Coordinator!" I gasp in horror. "What? You're a coordinator???" "Of course I am you idiot!" She pulls out her Ribbon Case. "See?" I see 2 ribbons in their places.

I giggle nervously. "What's so funny loser?" "You see...I'm a coordinator too. I'm also a trainer." Unlike me, Marisol laughs out loud. "The funny part? What is it?" "That is so unbelievable! Everyone knows you have to be a PURE coordinator in order to be a TOP coordinator!" My cheeks glow a bright red. "I want to be more than Top Coordinator! I also want to be a talented trainer!" "Hmph. Whatever. How many ribbons do you have? That's all that matters now." I open my Ribbon Case and there are-you guessed it-zero in it. "Pathetic as ever! You're totally NOT going to make it to the Grand Festival!"

"Who was that girl you were talking to a few hours ago Aurora?" Rosalie asks me. We're at the park, watching Goldeen and Finneon migrate. "Some girl I used to know in the 3rd grade. Her name is Marisol." "Marisol???" They all say at once. "I know. Her name sounds as evil as her." Raichu sits next to me. "She started hating me in the 2nd grade, though."

~FLASHBACK~
Aurora walks towards the classroom in Pokemon Elementary School in Jubilife City. "Alright-y class! Today we will be talking about our grandparents and great-grandparents!" says Mrs.Katie. "Aurora, would you like to go first?" 7-year-old Aurora walks to the front of the classroom. "I was interviewing my grandma, Ann last night. She was Top Coordinator in 1995-1999. Ann won both the Grand Festival and the Wallace Cup. When I grow up, I want to be Top Coordinator just like her!" The class claps after her presentation. Young Marisol is angry at Aurora. "How could you not tell me that your grandma was Top Coordinator? I don't EVER want to be your friend again!

~PRESENT TIME~

I sigh. "Man do I still hate her!" I hug my knees and set my chin on them. "Aurora, don't feel that bad. Maybe if you get a Ribbon then you'll catch up to Marisol!" Volkner makes a point. I start realizing that I could've gone to a contest. "But the next one is tomorrow! I can't wait that long!" "Of course you can! You're Aurora Ramirez! Pokemon Coordinator and Trainer!" yells Rosalie. All of my friends have made a big point! Tomorrow, I'm going to win that Oreburgh City Ribbon!
