Chapter 1: Briefing

Chapter Text

“Phionna,” Andrés addressed. “Let’s go over what I expect of you one more time.”

“Right,” Phionna nodded.

“I want a clean victory in this tournament; no more than one Pokémon faints for each opponent you face. Once the trophy is in your hands, I want it back here and up on my shelf. Do you understand me?”

“Yes, sir…”

“Good. Your mother and I have a lot riding on this tonight. We cannot afford to have you losing.”

“I won’t lose, sir, I promise!”

“You better keep that promise… You know what happens when you don’t.”

“Yeah… yeah I do.”

Notes:

I'm deciding to take things in a new direction with my writing by using drabbles as a way to make chapters easier to pump out, and make my commitment issues quiet down long enough to get content out to all of you. Think of this as drip-feeding. Either way, we're going backwards into the past for this one—ten years in the past, to be exact. I hope you enjoy this first little dialogue drabble chapter. The others will follow shortly, if all goes well.
