smash_logs | [OPEN] Hey look out for that moving van

Who: Ema Skye and YOU
What: She's new, come pick on her.
Where: Outside, around campus
When: March 9th
Warnings: None

Ema had begged the detective who was supposed to take her to the airport not to tell her sister that she was coming here instead. Lana had enough on her mind, what with the sentencing hearing in a few days and the loss of her job, to worry about Ema's new choice of high school. Sure, it'd come up eventually, but it was a topic that could wait for a little while.

She gave the detective a little wave as he drove off, then started to lug her suitcase across campus. She looked back and forth like she was watching tennis, taking it all in. It was a lot different from Capcom High (what was with the big clock tower, anyway?).

Well, now was not the time to get nervous or discouraged! She chose this path, now she has to walk it. Like Mr. Edgeworth! Only maybe with fewer forgery accusations and a less tacky office.

With newfound resolve, Ema steels herself and continues walking across campus, unafraid of the challenges ahead!

Only... she has no idea where to go.

She waves down the first person she sees. "Um, excuse me?"

"Yeah!" Sonny replied with a huge grin. "It's pretty much the best thing ever! I've met so many amazing people and Pokémon on our travels together, and I've seen some of the coolest places you could imagine! And being that I'm really strong, I almost always win our battles so I keep getting stronger and stronger!"

"That's really impressive, Sonnie!" Maybe it's not too dangerous. "It must be cool to go on a big adventure like that."

Although she thinks she'd rather stay here and get her education to solve crimes.

"It's the best!" Sonny replied. "I wish everyone could get to go on a journey like that. Even if only for a little while!"

That way, everyone would have great stories to share. And maybe Pokémon for him to meet.

"You could try it, if you wanted to. I know a few people who got their trainers license after coming to school here!"

"Their trainers license? Here?"

She thinks about it. It might be kind of cool, but...

"But I'm too old! I'm not ten!"

That's a requirement, right?

"It doesn't matter! Ten is like.. the minimum age I think." Sonny, that doesn't explain why some preschoolers have Pokémon. "I know at least two people who are really pretty old who got licenses. One trains a friend of mine and he teaches Martial Arts here. Professor Talbain. And then there's Professor Wright who teaches Political science. He trains a Gardevoir named Voile who I'm close to."

Yes, THAT Mr. Wright.

She does pause at the name "Professor Wright." Surely it's not the same Wright, though.

Still...

"I have a friend named Mr. Wright! But it's weird to think of him training a monster. I bet he couldn't get it to do anything for him." Sorry, Phoenix.

"Maybe I could try sometime."

"Oh, Voile is very sweet. She does things for people all the time. He would only have to ask for her to do things and she'd do them." Sonny replied. There was quite a bit of fondness in his smile. "She's lovely. Oh, and he sounds like he's pretty nice too! His name is Moltres. Uh, no, wait. Phoenix."

It was so weird that he was named after a legend that was so obviously based on a real live Pokémon. Why not just name him after the real thing?

"Phoenix Wright! That's my friend!"

For a moment she's excited, then puzzled. "But what is he doing here, training pokemon? He's supposed to be defense attorney-ing!"

"He doesn't just train Pokémon, he also teaches one of those really hard classes with all the writing and textbooks and dates and names and stuff. Uh... Political Science. That one."

The kind of class Sonny just couldn't take. Not because he was dumb. He's not. He just... didn't quite have that sort of attention span.

"Teaching political science? Why is he doing that!?"

She gives a little sigh. "I guess I'll have to go investigate this later."

"There was a different guy doing it for a long time. Doctor Robotnik. Or Doctor Eggman. I don't know which is his real name and which one people call him just to make fun. But he was kind of a jerk so I guess the job was given to your friend instead!"

He paused.

"Then Doctor Eggman was made to teach demolitions. Or auto shop. I forget. One of those classes I don't take. Anyway! I can tell you which classroom is his if you want to go and see him! ...your friend I mean. Not Doctor Eggman. Robotnik. That guy."

"You sure do a lot about the school, Sonny!"

Even if a lot of it is mixed up information...

"And yes, I want to know! That'll make it easier for me to track him down."

Sonny told her the room number more than happily.

"I hope you're able to find it OK!"

"I'm sure I will. You've been a big help, Sonny, thanks!"

"Good luck finding your friend! I'll see you around!"

Sonny gave her a wave and started to walk away.
