Relic stone? That stuck out to Sonja, given it was a damn random thing to tell people you barely met. She shrugged it off. She patted Missy on the head with two fingers. Missy immediately looked at her. 

“It’s okay. Sorry for all the hissing, it’s not a threat I promise.” Missy turned her nose up at that. Of course it was a threat but no way Sonja let him know that. 

“Since our Pokemon seem in such high spirits. What do you say to a battle? Something simple to warm up our Pokemon? You’re here to battle too right?”

Sonja felt the hair in the back of neck raise and the pit of her stomach bottom out. The Larvitar looked strong if young, and it’s trainer struck her as experienced.
