Hopes

Postwick, four years before Isaac and Hop set out on their journey. They were both ten.

Isaacs POV

Hop and I ran carelessly around in the front yard of his house. Hop and I had out Charizard figures in our hands.

We ranaround, pretending we were flying and running along with our Pokémon.

"I'm gonna be the greatest trainer ever!" Hop says, sitting down on the ground, his Wooloo sitting beside him. I plop down across from him and put my Charizard figure on the ground. Wooloo sniffs it curiously

"You know you gotta beat Leon to become the greatest, right?" I ask him.

He laughs and collapsed on his back in the grass. He looked up at the clouds.

"Some day, I'm going to set out with my first Pokémon and be the greatest!" he says, fist bumping the air.

"Not if I beat you first!" I tell him. We laugh and suddenly we hear a roar. I sit up in fear and Hop stands up and runs toward the gate of his house. I see a figure come down from the sky on the back of a mighty Charizard. A man gets off its back. He has a black cap on, with the brim flipped up, purple hair flowing down his back, skin and eyes like Hop's, and he had a black shirt with a sword and shield on it. He was wearing a long red cape as well. Along with white pants.

"Lee!" Hop said, running up to hug the man. I stood up. That was Leon, Hop's older brother and the current Champion. I get up and walk up to him. I've only seen Leon on TV when Hop makes me watch his matches.

"Ah, you must be Isaac. Hop has told me all about you." Leon said, kneeling down to me.

"It's an honor, sir. Hop always makes me watch your matches anytime we're together." I extend my arm and Leon takes my hand and we shake.

"No need for the royalty. Just call me Leon." he stands back up and I take my arm back, and suddenly I hear a faint howl. It came from behind my house west of us, in the deep, dark, Slumbering Weald. I looked into the woods, and Hop got in front of my vision.

"Isaac, come on! We need to get ready to eat!" Hop says. I nod and we run inside.

Hop's mother was close with mine, so I could eat dinner there. Although today I just couldn't eat. My mind was still on the Weald. That faint howl flooded my head. After I finished, it was pretty late, so I told Hop I had to get going, although he and Leon had suspicious looks on their face.

I exited Hop and Leon's house and went back to my house. My mom had told me she had done some shopping down in Wedgehurst, and my dad was in Kalos.

I looked back at Hop's house, made sure no one was watching, then entered the Weald. It was foggy. So foggy. I made it a while in and the fog got way thicker to the point where I couldn't see two feet in front of me.

"Hello?" I heard a voice. That sent chills down my spine. I didn't know anyone else was here.

"Who's there?" I ask into the emptiness. I get a response with that same howl, but this time much, much closer. Almost if it's right next to me.

Now I was getting scared. I was alone in a foggy forest, and there's probably a Pokémon hunting me down. I back up and trip over a rock, falling onto my back. Tears fill my eyes and I don't cry, but my eyes water.

"I-Is anyone t-there?" I ask again. I shut my eyes and I feel a presence behind me. I turn around and my eyes are filled with tears, so I couldn't see clearly. It looked like some blue wolf, only it was so much taller than me. It leans its massive head down and sniffs my cheek. I get a clear look of it. It had blue fur and a black mask on its face like a Zigzagoon. It leans back up and holds out a paw. I take it and stand up. I put my hands on its fur, and it started walking. I could barely see anything, so it was guiding me. I come to a familiar sight, and it was my house, and I saw Leon, Hop, my mom and their mom talking on the path. Once they see me, my mom and Hop rush up to me first.

"Isaac! Where have you been? Were you in the Weald?!" my mom asks me, kneeling down and putting her hands on my shoulders.

"Why would you go in there?" Hop asks. I look at him and look away. I escape my mother grasp and run inside my house. I sit on my bed and close the door. I had a little bit of blue fur on my hands. I was going to become a Pokémon trainer. One that Galar could be proud of.

Many years later, Isaac has become Champion of Galar

Hop's POV

Sonia really doesn't give up in trying to work me to death. She had assigned me a bunch of papers of stuff I need to get from Wyndon. Isaac had a exhibition match going down in a few minutes, and I didn't want to miss it. I turned on my Rotom phone and tuned in to the live broadcast of Isaac coming into the stadium. He had a white cap on with the challenger symbol on it, sporting a black jacket with the same shirt Leon wore, only smaller in size, with the blue sword across the red shield. He had white shorts and leggings, making him nearly identical to Lee, only missing the cape.

"Good afternoon, Galar! How we all feeling?" Isaac asks the crowd. The crowd cheers and I can see the flashes of the cameras through the phone. The challenger for today was Bede, one of Isaac and I's long term rivals. He was a jerk, saying I dragged my bro's name around in the mud.

Bede said something to Isaac, then they initiated battle. Bede throws in his Mawile and Isaac throws in his new Charizard. The fire type pokemon roars and looks dead at Mawile. Isaac doesn't even say anything. Charizard just used Flamethrower and knocks Mawile clean out. Bede's Rapidash, Gardevoir and Sylveon go down with one Flash Cannon each from Isaac's Lucario. When Bede's final Pokémon, Hatterene, come out, Lucario Dynamaxed and Hatterene Gigantamaxed.

Hatterene used Max Flare, and that wasn't a good sign for Lucario. He was weak to Fire. But I've seen Isaac's Lucario survive Charizards G-Max Wldfire, so Lucario simply punched the Max Flare out of the way and used Max Steelspike. Hatterene returned to normal size, and fainted. The crowd cheered. Lucario returned to normal and he and Isaac nodded. Bede returns Hatterene and the Champion and Gym Leader meet in the middle and shake hands.

I still can't believe Bede became a gym leader, after all the cruelty he brought toward Isaac and I. I scoff and turn my Rotom phone off and shove it back in my pocket. I start getting the things I need from the list. After about an hour, I'm outside, leaning against a fence post, crossing things off my list, and suddenly I hear a bunch of girls screaming. I look in that direction and see a bunch of fans crowding around Isaac, and surprisingly, he has no Pokémon out to defend him.

I put the list in my pocket and walk up to the crowd. I can hear Isaac.

"Everyone, please, move out of the way." he said, calmly. The fans ignored him and I decided to step in. I release Rillaboom and have him use Uproar, making everyone put their hands over their ears. They all look at me in disgust.

"I'm going to have to ask you to step away from the Champion. He's had a hard day." I said, smiling. The fans walk away and Rillaboom and I walk up to Isaac.

"Thanks for that, Hop. You always show up at the right time." he says. We gave each other a bro hug and Isaac released Cinderace and he and Rillaboom started talking.

"It's good to see you, mate. I watched your match on my phone. You gave Bede a real beatdown. How's the Champion life treating ya?" I ask him, slugging him light on the shoulder.

"It's great, although I don't know how Leon put up with all the fans." Isaac chuckles.

"Why don't we go somewhere a little less public?" I suggest. Isaac nods and we take our Corviknights to Wedgehurst, near our hometown. We land in front of the lab and return our armored birds. We walk inside the lab and I see Sonia trying to find a book on the shelves.

"Ah, Hop, Isaac! Welcome! I didn't expect the Champion to come here! Especially after an exhibition match." Sonia giggles. She comes down from the stairs and greets us,

"Here's the list of stuff you needed." I say, giving Sonia the bag of supplies I bought,

"Hop, thank you!" she says, taking the bag and searching through the contents.

"Hop, you forgot TM04! Ice Punch!" Sonia says.

"Oh, crap! I saw Isaac getting crowded by fans that I completely forgot about the list!" I say, shocked.

"No worries, guys. You can borrow mine." Isaac says, giving his TM04 to Sonia.

"Thanks, Isaac! We can both count on you." Sonia says, putting the disk on the desk.

"Don't worry about it. You guys know I'm always happy to help out with your research." Isaac says, putting his hands in his pockets.

"In that case, why don't you help us find a book that Hop was supposed the return?" Sonia laughed.

"I thought we agreed not to tell Isaac about that!" I growl.

"What book is it?" Isaac asks out of curiosity.

"It's an old book on Zacian and Zamazenta. I might've left it somewhere in the lab." I said, rubbing the back of my head.

"You mean that?" Isaac asks, pointing to the bookshelves upstairs, where the book was. On top of the bookshelf.

Sonia and I looked at the book then at each other. How does he have as keen of an eye as Lee?

"I don't know how you do it, mate, but you gotta teach me!" I say, going to retrieve the book. I grab it off the shelf and flip to a page and show Isaac. He reads the passage.

"Zacian and Zamazenta share the same genetic DNA. How do they transform while holding the Sword and Shield? It's all in here. It says they will only transform when revealed to a trainer that is pure of heart." I say.

"Isaac, we've had Zamazenta for some experiments, and I was wondering if Zacian would be up for it. Just a little change." Sonia says, putting her finger on her cheek.

At that thought, Zacian bursts from Isaac's Master Ball and Zamazenta came out from my pokeball. They looked at each other and nodded.

Zacian looks at Isaac.

"It's alright. If there are any Dynamaxed Pokémon in the Wild Area, we can take it down." Isaac says. He scratches behind Zacian's ear, and she happily howls and nods. Zacian walks over to Zamazenta and sits down.

"Right, I gotta be on my way. I'm needed at the Battle Tower. Leon wants to make sure I reach top tier." Isaac says. He waves goodbye and walks out the door, but I stop him.

"Can I come with you? Lee says I'm not good enough for the Battle Tower. He says I need to get my head on straight. Maybe a quick battle then some training in the Wild Area?" I ask my rival.

"Hop, you know I'm always up for a battle with you." Isaac says. We race each other to the mat in front of my house, where we had our first ever battle.

"This is just for fun! No holding back and no grudges!" I say to Isaac.

Five minutes later.

Rillaboom drops his drumsticks and collapses on the ground.

"Ah, every time, mate!" I laugh, returning my starter. "You still find so many ways to exploit my weakness!" Isaac and I laugh.

"Hop, you know how strong you are. You'll be able to beat me someday. I know it." Isaac says. We shake hands and I tell Sonia we're heading to the Wild Area.

We take the train and when we arrive, we train some more with our Pokémon. Isaac teaches me how to perfect my moves and timing.

Two hours later, we take the train again to Wyndon Station, and we exit the station, looking around at the beautiful environment that was Wyndon. Isaac and I walked toward the Battle Tower, and a bunch of people on the streets kept whispering to one another and looking at Isaac and I.

I turn to my rival.

"Fans?" I ask. Isaac shrugs and suddenly I hear a whisper that sets me off.

"Why is the Champion hanging around with that loser?" I hear someone say. I turn around and Isaac mimics my movement.

"Who said that?" Isaac asks in a firm tone. The crowd points to two boys in varsity jackets. They were laughing.

"You crushed that guy. Why the heck is he hanging with you? You should be hanging around with us." one said. He had a Noivern next to him. The other boy had a Haxorus. They both gave us dead glares.

"Hop is my best friend, I don't know why you think I shouldn't hang around with him." Isaac says, turning to face the boys.

"If you two have a problem with that, then you can beat it!" I say, defending my friend.

"Let's see if you are as strong as your ego says you are. Go, Haxorus!"

"Noivern, you too!"

The two dragons land in front of us.

"I guess it's a double battle, then. Go, Charizard!" Isaac says, tossing out a pokeball. It emerged open and his Charizard appeared, a ferocious look in his eyes. I throw out my Corviknight.

"Use Boomburst!" one boy says. Noivern makes a horrible sound, and Isaac and I cover our ears, but Corviknight and Charizard withstand it.

"Corviknight, Steel Wing on Haxorus!" I say. Corviknight's wing glows white and he drives it straight into Haxorus' gut, making it stumble.

"Use Iron Tail!" the other boy said. Haxorus smacked Corviknight with its tail, and my bird flew through the air but regained his balance.

"Charizard, Breaking Swipe!" Isaac says. Charizard's tail glows purple and he smacks Haxorus and Noivern, sending them both to the ground, fainted. Isaac's Charizard was so powerful, it knocked them both out in one hit.

"No way!" the boys said, returning their Dragons.

"Now settle down and think about what you say before you take action for it." Isaac says. Charizard snarls at them. I laugh and Corviknight caws.

"Okay then. Corner 'em!" the boy says. Suddenly more people come our, dressed like them, and surround us. Isaac looks at Charizard and he nods. The people all sent out Dragon Types.

"Hop, get somewhere safe." Isaac whispers to me. I nod and Corviknight and I run through the crowd, taking shelter in an alleyway. I know what Isaac was about to do.

"Charizard, Breaking Swipe Frenzy!!" Isaac said, kneeling onto the ground. Charizard roared and used Breaking Swipe, but his tail extended in length, and smacked each Dragon once, knocking the whole circle out. The pokemon were returned and all the gang members ran off. Isaac and I came back into the street, and Charizard looked like he was about to faint from the energy needed for that attack. I quickly grabbed a Full Restore out of my bag and sprayed it on him. He shook off the debris and roared, then looked at me and nuzzles his head onto me.

"Hey, it's no big deal." I say, scratching him behind the ears. I was good friends with Isaac's Charizard. The fire type leaned back up and Isaac returned him to his ball.

"Thank goodness for Breaking Swipe. Credit to Raihan." I say. Isaac nods and we make our way to the battle tower. I'm allowed to watch Isaac while he crushed every challenger. Leon made his way to us for the final challenge.

"Good to see you, boys! I had a feeling I'd see you soon." Lee said, waving at us.

"It's good to see you, bro! I want to see which Champion is stronger!" I say excitedly.

Isaac and Lee battle it out, coming to a close match between Isaac's Boltund and Lee's Charizard. Boltund Dynamaxed and Charizard Gigantamaxed. A Max Rockfall nearly took out Boltund, but she retaliated and used Max Lightning, somehow knocking Charizard out in one shot.

Leon returned his Pokémon as it returned to normal size. He put his cap over his face.

"I knew we had a strong Champion, but even that, you greatly exceed my expectations." Lee says.

Boltund returned to normal size and Isaac kneeled down and she ran to him, Isaac hugging her. She licked his face. Isaac stood up and wiped the slobber off his face and looked at Leon.

"It's all thanks to you and Hop. You guys pushed me to the limit to become the best version of myself I can be." Isaac says.

"I'm glad we could help, Isaac. Walk with me, won't you?" Leon asked. We head back down to the ground floor and walk outside. We take the path by the park.

"Wyndon is a wonderful city, isn't it?" Leon asks us. We both nod. "When I was still Champion, people would crowd around me for pictures and autographs. I assume you have the same issue, Isaac?"

"Yeah, all the people slow down my routine. I might just have to fly on Charizard through the entire rest of my career." Isaac jokes.

"I don't think anyone is going to be able to beat you for a while, Isaac!" I tell him.

"Why don't we pay the stadium a visit?" Leon suggests. We nod and he takes us there. We enter, and suddenly, we see a small crowd of young kids next to the door. As soon as they saw Isaac, they ran up to him.

"Champion Isaac, can you sign this card? I found it on the ground." the kid in the center said. He had a black jacket with a red shirt and cap on, and grey shorts. The other two kids looked nearly identical.

"No problem, guys." Isaac said. He kneeled down and took the card the boy held. His expression changed from kind to serious when he saw it. I suddenly heard someone crying. Leon and I looked around the corner and saw a boy in a purple shirt and black shorts crying around the corner, slumped against the wall.

"Lee, let's check out what's going on." I say to my brother. He nods and we go over to the kid.

"Hey, you alright, pal?" I aka him kneeling down.

He looks up and he has bright green eyes.

"T-They stole i-it." he said.

"Who stole what now?" Lee asks, kneeling down beside me.

The kid pointed toward the three kids Isaac was with.

"I had one of Isaac's really rare league cards, and they stole it." he said. Leon and I were surprised.

"Watch this, kiddo." Leon said, patting the kids shoulder. He helped the kid up and we walked over to Isaac and the kids. Isaac turned around and the boys turned after him.

"Boys, we have information you stole this youngster's rare league card of the Champion from this boy." Lee said, kneeling down.

The boys were shocked. They tried to hide their guilt.

"No, we didn't! We found it on the ground in the park!" the center kid said.

"After you beat me up..." the crying kid said.

"You beat up this boy?" Isaac asked. He looked serious now. That was something you never saw from him. He was always kind.

"We asked him if we could see your League Card, and he said no! We only wanted to take a look at it!" the left boy said.

"By taking a look, you mean stealing?" I asked, getting serious. Lee shared my gaze.

"John, I'm going to have to ask for that card." Isaac said. He held out his hand and John looked at the card and and sighed, giving the card to Isaac. Isaac took the card and kneeled down to the crying boy.

"Tell me, what's your name?" Isaac asks. The kid let go of Leon's cloak.

"Jason"

"I'll tell you what, Jason. If you ever feel down," Isaac said, pulling out a pen. He wrote something on the back of the card. He handed it back to Jason. "remember that the people in your life will support you, even the strangest of people."

Jason thanked Isaac and hugged him, before running out the door.

"As for you, John and company." Lee said. "You need to learn that physical violence is not the way to get what you want."

The boys leave and I look at Isaac and Lee.

"You guys are Jason's heroes! And Isaac, wasn't that your super rare league card?" I asked my rival.

"There are only five of them in the entirety of Galar. I remember that boys parents the day it came out in the drawing. I saw him next to his dad when they got to the front of the line. I could tell he wanted to be like me. They entered the drawing and a week later, they won a card. I didn't know his name, but I definitely remembered him. He's one of the kindest kids I know." Isaac said, standing up. "John and his friends though, I remember he entered the drawing, but he didn't win. I have an upcoming event that whatever kids have that card get to come down to the stadium in my next match."

Lee and I smiled.

We walked some more and stood at the Corviknight statue. We sat down at one of the benches.

"I've had arrangements, and I've had you guys and your family get front row seats." Isaac says.

"There's no need for that. We can sit where we want." Leon laughs.

"I'm in! I want to make sure I can see your every move!" I say.

Suddenly both Zamazenta and Zacian charge down from the sky and land in front of us.

"Zacian!" Isaac said.

"Zamazenta!" I yelled.

They came up to us and nodded, then Sonia came out from the station. She put her hands on her knees, out of breath. Once she spotted us, she ran over to us.

"There you two are! You can't just charge out without warning!" she said to Zacian and Zamazenta. The two wolves put their heads down in shame.

"Hey, no, I'm sorry! I didn't mean that. I was just a little angry. Anyway, good day, lads!" she said, turning around to us.

"Good to see you, Sonia." Lee said, holding out his hand. Sonia took it and they shook.

"Zacian and Zamazenta suddenly started emitting purple and red energy. Then they started howling, and they pointed their noses toward Wyndon. I guess they wanted to see you youngn's." Sonia says, looking at Isaac and I.

"Maybe they wanted some play time." Lee jokes.

Zamazenta walks up to me and nuzzles his head onto me. Zacian sits down next to Isaac.

"Good to see you, girl." Isaac says, scratching behind Zacian's ear. I rubbed Zamazenta's head.

"Let's head back. We should leave before more fans show up." Isaac laughs. We took the train and Isaac and I returned our Legendaries to their pokeballs. We arrived in Wedgehurst and I take in the scent of the air.

"No place like home, fellas." I say as we step out of the station. Lee, Isaac and I walk back home and I see my mom and grandparents barbecuing. They wave us over and Lee and I go over, while Isaac walks back to his house.

"Hey, Isaac, where are you going?" my mom yells at him. He turns around. "Come down here and eat with us!"

Isaac shrugs and runs down and we have a nice barbecue.

   The next day, at Wyndon, Lee and my family are waiting for me in our seats. I push my way through the crowd and find my family. I sit down next to Lee.

"Took you a while, little bro. Seems like the tides have turned. You're the one with bad directions." he laughed.

"Shush! The match is starting soon!" I say, punching his shoulder.

A few seconds later, Isaac's intro from the door starts.

Charizard and Corviknight fly out and shoot Flamethrower and Flash Cannon into the air. Boltund and Sylveon run out after them and shoot Moonblast and Thunderbolt into the sky. Lucario and Cinderace flip out after them and shoot Pyro Ball and Aura Sphere into the sky, the six attacks colliding in the air and creating an explosive fireworks display. The crowd cheers and claps. Isaac walks out after them, each of his Pokémon walks by his side. Lucario, Sylveon and Corviknight on his left, and Cinderace, Charizard, and Boltund on his right.

"Good morning, Galar!" Isaac says into his microphone. The crowd cheers and his Pokémon wave. He says all the standard stuff for a tournament, then he gets to the exciting part.

"You all remember a few weeks ago, when I gave away five of these cards to five youngsters, right?" Isaac asked, pointing to the Jumbotron, where his super rare league card showed up. Everyone cheered.

"I'd like to invite those kids down to the pitch! Take the stairs in your aisle and make sure you have your card!" 

In a few minutes, the five kids come down from the stadium and walk next to Isaac.

"Let's learn our new friends' names!" Isaac says into the microphone. He kneeled down next to the first kid. She had a blue hoodie and black track pants, and he blonde hair flowed down her shoulders.

"Tell me, what's your name?" Isaac asked her.

"TJ." the girl says shyly.

"Well, TJ, I want you to answer a question. Which Pokémon on my team would you like a picture with the most?" Isaac asks, motioning his arm toward his six Pokémon.

TJ looked at Isaac and he nodded.

"Take your pick." 

TJ shyly walked up to Isaac's Sylveon, who greeted TJ with a hug from her feelers. TJ gasped then returned the hug. TJ let go of Sylveon and stood next to her.

"Stay there! There's more I have to show. What's your name?" Isaac asks the next kid. He had a blue cap on with matching blue pants and hoodie.

"I'm Leo, and Lucario is my favorite." the kid said proudly into the microphone. He walked up to Lucario cautiously, as if he knew that Lucario had to approached slowly. He eventually made it and stood in front of Lucario, and the Pokémon kneeled down and held out a paw, and Leo took it in a shake. He stood next to Lucario and they shook hands.

Isaac kneeled to the boy kid. He wore a red hoodie and black track pants, and had glasses on. He looked kind of shy.

"Hey, there's no need to be shy. What's your name?" Isaac asks, holding out his hand.

"My name is Jessie. I have an interest in speed rates, so Boltund is my favorite." he said. He walked up to Boltund and held out his hand. The dog Pokémon sniffed him and then licked his hand. Boltund got closer and Jessie pet her.

The next girl had a purple dress with black sleeves under it, with black leggings.

"What's your name?" Isaac asks.

"I'm Alex." the girl said. She walked up to Corviknight and the bird Pokémon was much taller than her, his shadow over her. Corviknight leaned down and Alex pet his armored head. Corviknight nodded and held out his armored wing. Alex climbed on and Corviknight lifted her onto his back.

Lastly was the kid we met yesterday. Jason. He had the same look.

"Take your pick, Jason." Isaac said.

His picks were Cinderace and Charizard.

"I like fire types, but I can't choose. I feel like if I pick one, the other will feel bad." Jason said. This kid had a nice heart.

"Well, how about this, then?" Isaac asks, standing up. "Cinderace and Charizard will stand on either side of you, so you don't have to feel bad."

Jason nodded and walked up to the two fire types. They looked at him and nodded. Cinderace kneeled down and held out his hand. Jason took it and Charizard stood next to Isaac.

"Everyone smile!" Isaac said. The kids smiled and the cameraman in the middle of the stadium took a picture. Each of the kids thanked Isaac and walked back to their seats.

"Thank you to those boys and girls for that opportunity! Now, the moment, you all came for, it's battle time!" Isaac said, striking his pose. He put both his hands together and held them up into the air, separating them and making an 'x' with his arms. The crowd cheered and several challengers each fought Isaac, and he easily beat the, only using one Pokémon from his team each time. By the time the match was over, it was noon.

"Thank you all for coming, and special thanks to TJ, Leo, Jessie, Alex and Jason! I'll see you all soon!" Isaac said. He and his Pokémon walked back through the entrance gate. My family and I walked back to the lobby.

"How does he do it, Lee?" I ask my brother.

"Do what?" Lee laughs.

"How does he always crush any team that challenges him with only one Pokémon?"

"He's the champion, and he never reveals his secrets." Leon jokes. Isaac meets us in the lobby.

"Nice job, Champion!" Lee says, patting Isaac on the back.

"I didn't know I could make those kids so happy." Isaac said, rubbing the back of his head.

"You're their hero." I say to my rival.

We walk back to the station and took the train back to Wedgehurst. We walked to our houses when suddenly Lucario bursts from his pokeball and looks at Isaac. He nods and walks to the house, and Lucario stays with Lee and I at the entrance to our house.

"What's wrong, Lucario?" I ask.

He connected auras.

I just wanted to say thank you for helping Isaac toward his goal. I can't tell you how happy he is to have you two as his best friends.

"Lucario, all we did was motivate him. It's nothing to thank us for." Lee says.

No, the honor is mine. I've fought alongside Isaac since the near halfway point
of his gym challenge, and he gave me and his team training time and time to get closer to him in means of friendship. I guess what I'm saying, is thank you for pushing my trainer past his comfort zone. He doesn't hold anyone in higher friendship than you two and Sonia.

Lee and I look at each other and Lucario runs back to Isaac's house.

Lee and I walk back in and we head upstairs.

"Isaac really is the greatest Champion. No offense." I say to Leon.

"Don't worry, some taken. I even said that to him in the Tower. I'll see you tomorrow, little brother." Lee says. He walks into his room and closes the door, and I do the same.

"Don't forget its movie night!" I yell to him. I head his say okay behind the door. I sit down on my bed and hold the picture of Isaac and I when we started our adventure. I couldn't ask for a better rival then my best friend.
