Hexagon Building... Day 0... "Admire such a beautiful landscape, Nidorina." A man said to the Pokémon by it. "The Gateway Island seas open to the world every day, every hour, every minute..." Ahead of the silver haired man, beyond the glass, the deep blue sea of the night spread to the horizon... beautifully sparkling in white as the moon shone over it... "And now... that peace... will end..." He slowly added, crossing his arms. "The championships... they'll start soon." "Nido?" The Pokémon repeated, confused. "The Gateway Island Championships. They are about to start." He explained, turning around. "Once in a while, Gateway invites trainers all over the world for a championship in our island." He sat on a table and picked up a framed photograph. "I think its time you join it too, David." He whispered. The Nidorina walked to a shelve and brought down a few papers, bringing them to the man. "These letters... you think...?" Raising his head, he could see the Pokémon nodding. For a moment, he gasped confusingly. But then, he forced a smile. "Then we have much work to do." Getting up, the man picked up a badge with a few letters, placing the frame on the table, very carefully. The badge had written, in big, imprinted letters: ROVER LAWRIDE HEAD ADMIN OF GATEWAY ISLAND

These halls must go on forever he thought, checking down one narrow passage way.
A man in a lab coat and white hair quietly stepped into the four way split, an oddly colored Umbreaon close behind. He wore a tanned shirt and blue jeans that showed under the unbuttoned lab coat, along with black shoes. He didn't know why he dressed like this today. That man - Lawride, was it? - said it didn't matter what he wore here, just as long as he came. He didn't really care, though. He just grabbed a few clothes and came here with all the Pokemon he'd been researching for ages. He had gotten a few stares here and there while on the way here, mainly because of his Umbreon. No one here seemed to have ever seen a Shiny Pokemon up close before, so to them it must've been something very odd.
"Breon!" the dark type said, pointing down one of the endless halls with her head. The man nodded.
"Let's go," he said, turning and walking smoothly, Umbreon close behind.
It didn't take long before they finally reached a door, one with the name[/color][/size] ROVER LAWRIDE[/i][/b][/u] printed on it. The man blinked.
"Must be the place," he muttered. Slowly, the knocked on the door. It seemed to be a rasp, one loud enough to just barely hear. [/color][/font][/size]

"I bet its top quality, Andy." Rover commented with a smile as he kept walking. "Well, its here."
The tall Hexagon Building was a view to be admired. It allowed to gaze at the entire sea surrounding Gateway Island, and even the world, it seemed.
Rover presented his card and the door let him past.
"Okay, follow me, Andy."
"Nido." Nidorina added, and both walked in to the elevator.

The man sighed, leaning against the wall when no one answered the door.
"Must not be here yet," James muttered, crossing his arms.
"Breon!" his Pokemon exclaimed, walking over and sitting next to him, her side against the wall as they both waited patiently, hoping the admin would soon show up to greet them.

Andy walked next to Rover as Bailie followed behind her, looking at everything that they past. She was protective of Andy, being that she had saved her life, it was only right that she would protect her as payment for the fact that she did that.
"Wow, this is quite a building," she commented as they walked toward the elevator. "I guess for something man made, but I have seen some natural things that would make this look like a werehouse," she paused as she felt Bailie's eyes on her neck and then she rubbed the back of her head. "Oh, sorry about that. That must have sounded really rude,"
She followed him into the elevator, Bailie was close behind, standing beside her trainer and looking sort of stiff as she watched everything. However, her eyes looked at the Nidorina for a moment before turning back to the doors of the elevator.

"So Andy. Tell me, why didn't your birth records appear on Gateway computers?" He asked out of nowhere. "Oh, wait, stupid question. And random." He laughed right after, hearing the elevator ring.
"None taken from the building. I also appreciated natural things once... but once I got to Gateway, my life changed to work and paperwork." He commented. "Well, we're here!"
After the ring, the door opened and revealed a small corridor, ending on a door with a golden plate on it. Someone else was there, though.
"I've got visitors...?" He mumbled, walking.

"My birth records?" she questioned, wondering why anyone besides her dad and a hospital would have her brith records but suddenly she realized why he asked. "Oh, well I'm not a trainer so that is most likely why," she said and then noted that the elevator had stopped. She looked back at Rover. "Well, that is why I like being my own boss, I don't have to deal with that stuff," she smiled and left the elevator with Rover, Bailie following behind. She too then noticed the person at the end of the hall.

"Hm?"
James looked up as he heard footsteps. Umbreon jumped to her feet instantly, turning around to confront the new comers. One corner of Jame's mouth went up in a small smile as he stood up fully, Umbreon falling to his side.
"Hello there," he said, examining the girl and the man. His eyes imedently latched to the man. "You must be Mr. Lawride, correct?" he asked. "My name's James B. McAllen. You sent for me?"
"Breon!" his paretner called, as if welcoming both human and Pokemon.

Rover narrowed his eyes and slightly lowered his head.
On a closer look...
"James B. McAllen... I don't recall..." He commented, stopping to think. "Could you be...?"
"Nido!" Nidorina saluted the Umbreon.
"You must be the organizer for the events! Yes, I did sent you!"

"That I am," James nodded with a short smile. "I thought you'd be in your office, but frankly, it seems I've beaten you here!"
The Umbreon nodded slightly back to the Nindorina before looking to the Blaziken that stood next to the girl. The Pokemon cocked it's head, confused at why it seemed to uptight. That's what made James notice the girl.
"And who is this?" he asked, looking towards Andy. His voice didn't sound bothered by the second person, only pleased to be meeting someone else.

Andy had been curious about the fact that there was another person there, not that she was upset, she was certain that there were alot of things that went into pulling off a tornament. She had never been in one since she was not a trainer. Bailie was standing straight with her arms crossed, looking down at the Umbreon that was looking back at her.
However, Andy was concentrating on the person in front of her and she gave him a smile. "I am Andy Collar. I'm an independent filmmaker, called here to do some filming for Rover,"
She turned and looked at the Blaziken for a moment, who was still looking at the dark type, and then turned back. "And this is Bailie, she is sort of my body guard if you want to call her that. Just for when I am out in the field. But she does like her pokeball,"

"Oh, Erm, follow me inside." Rover replied, opening the door with his card.
As the door slid in halves, the midday light that collided directly with the office lightened the corridor, shining over a small object on Rover's desk, his desk badge.
The whole office was kind of a quarter of a sphere, not the Hexagon the building's name stood for. This was because the walls were only windows, large, tall walls of glass that allowed to view the ocean and all of Gateway Island.
Rover didn't take long on appreciating the view, he saw it every time he went inside.
So, he sat on the desk's chair and offered a seat on two others sofas.
"Have a seat." Nidorina also sat by him, looking at the two "guests".

"James McAllen," he introduced him self. "I'm here to help manage the Pokemon while the Championships take place. And this here is Umbreon." He nodded to his Shiny Pokemon as he spoke about her.
"Breon!" the Pokemon said in return, as if to say hello to Andy.
James quickly moved aside as Rover went to his door, opening it with some sort of card. James was kind enough to let Andy in first before going in him self. Of course, he didn't sit down in his chair. He stood instead, looking around at the large room with suprise. Umbreon looked around curiously, too, it's ears twitching with slight movments.
"Nice place," James mumbled, his hands latched together behind his back.

"Agreed." Rover replied to James, sitting back. "So, I assume you're both looking for a job around here."
Nidorina's ears perked up and she walked to near a low table.
"Andy's got her roles assigned, but some things are still to be discussed."
Nidorina came back with a small amoutnof papers in her mouth, which she handed over to Rover.
"Thanks, Nidorina." He thanked, patting her head. "As I was saying..."
The admin looked through the papers and detached a particular one.
"This one is for you, James. I need you to keep track of which Pokémon each trainer will use, and I want you to put that information on my desk whenever it reaches your hands." He then turned to Andy. "And you,I'll need a complete footage of the championship. I know its not your usual style, but youll get rewarded if you do a good work on the filming. Get particular shots of good moves and try to be discreete. Films are a surprise for later."

Andy had walked into the room quietly, looking around the room and took a seat on one side of the desk. Bailie walked in behind her and stood behind her.
She listened to what Rover said and nodded. "Of course. I brought my main camera with me and another one that Crain can wear and film through flying, but now that I near what you want, I will be needing more cameras. I do have more. Some of them gifts, others that I bought. They are in storage. I can contact my father to send me a few of them through express mail," she told him. "When will the tournament start?"
