The chink in Sonja's armor appeared in the form of a twitching frown that quickly disappeared in a thin smile. She despised the idea of losing. She found anyone okay with losing not much worth her time and... She crushed that line of thinking in an instant. She wasn't going to be that person anymore. Sonja had to admit it was nice meeting someone who didn't glare a her. She was sure she was still the focus of gossip back home so she wasn't quite ready to let go of someone actually willing to tag along with her. She couldn't help but notice the nurse seemed to recognize the boy and his Pokemon. So he was a local then? Perhaps a guide was just what she needed.  

"I'd enjoy the company." She rubbed the top of Missy's head. "And we always bring our A-game." 

She allowed herself a genuine, of a little wide grin at thought of some old fashioned combat. She hoped these Pre-Gym  trainers were as good as he stated, as she was thirsting for a good battle. 

"I'm Sonja by the way and the little troublemaker is Missy."
