After an strange span of events taking place on their way to Lumiose City, our heroes were finally set to arrive today. The team was up bright and early ready to start their day.

Ava sat in her tent slowly brushing Fennekin.

"We're finally going to be in Lumiose City, Fennekin! There's so much to do there." Ava said speaking to Fennekin.

Fennekin responded cheerfully to her trainer.

"Lumiose is the biggest city in Kalos. I've only ever been there once and that was a long time ago." Ava continued. "There's all kinds of shops, cafés, and restaurants. And of course, our next Gym Battle." Ava held her breath for a moment. Every time her and the boys were about to face another Gym, she started to freeze up. It made her really nervous. She envied how confident both Alex and Elijah were when it came to them - even battles in general.

Fennekin spun around and licked Ava reassuring her once again. Ava smiled, "They say Pokemon can sense their trainer's feelings." She thought. She nodded back reassuring Fennekin she was okay and they both headed out to check on the others.

Elijah and Alex were already packed and set to go, it seemed as if they weren't the only ones eager to get to Lumiose.

"You two sure are eager to fight the Gym huh?" Ava asked already knowing the answer.

"Well yeah, but that's not exactly our reasoning for being excited." Elijah replied.

"Yeah, we really can't wait for the Pokemon Showcase." Alex continued.

Ava had completely forgot about the showcase. Both Alex and Elijah won free tickets to the Showcase during the Teamwork Tournament the won 2 weeks back. They managed to get the event coordinator to get an extra ticket for Ava so she could come too.

"Really? You two excited for a Showcase? I thought that was a girly thing?" Ava replied.

"That's the point. A Showcase only means one thing: Macy will be there!" Alex responded.

"Of course..." Ava thought sighing to herself. "They want to see Macy again..." Macy was the current Kalos Queen and a Showcase master. Her and Elijah had met her previously in Cyllage City during the previous Showcase. Alex wasn't with them back then and was dying to meet them.

"Alright well let me finish packing and we'll head out." Ava said walking back in her tent to get her things cleared up.

An hour later and they were standing in the center of Lumiose City, Prism Tower. Outside stood a newly built monument of a boy falling to catch a Pikachu. Elijah felt he could almost recognize the boy.

The gang decided to stop at a specialty local café well-known for its chocolate-flavored beverages. They sat sipping their delicious drinks and talked about their plans for their upcoming battle which place the day after the Showcase.

Ava wasn't much into battle plans, she just kind of went with the flow. She did, however, listen to the boys talk about how they planned to counter the electrifying power of Clemont, the Gym Leader. She listened as the came of with combinations of move after move and she began realizing how brilliant they were.

Ava had always thought of herself as the "smartest" of the gang, and while that maybe be true in some regards, she realized it was only booksmarts. Alex and Elijah may not be able to figure out the Specific Heat Capacity of Water, but they knew how to battle. They knew counters to every possible move outcome and how to think outside the box.

The more she pondered this theory, the more she started to realize they were all one-in-the-same. Everyone has their own strengths in knowledge. It may not always be Math or Science, but in this case, it's battling. It could also be clothing, architecture, puzzles, or anything for that matter.

"What about you, Ava?" Alex asked.

Ava tuned back into the conversation at the mention of her name. "What was the question?" she asked.

"What are you going to do for the battle?" Alex restated.

She thought for a second, and said, "Coming up with battle plans isn't really my thing. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens when the time comes."

Elijah smiled, "That's a good enough plan as any." He replied.

She smiled back.
