	A small giggle escaped the lips of Sonya. She could not seem to help herself given she had gone through the same thing what seemed like not too long ago. Of course it had been over a year now, but that did not seem all that far away when she thought back on it. Besides this girl was fairly brave if she was as young as she looked. Sonya never would have gone on stage at her age. [color=FF4500]"Well Sierra I can't blame you for being nervous. My first contest went rather badly for me, but in the end I enjoyed it. You learn quick that your pokemon come through for you. Besides it's all about them in the end. As for the nerves, well those never go away. However they do change. You go from nervous to excited. Have you thought about what you and your pokemon are going to do?"[/color] Sonya asked with a smile almost to herself as she thought back to her own experiences in the beginning.
