Assistant

Aozora is an apprentice at the Kanto Pokemon Lab, under Professor Oak. Under his lead, she helps to study the relationships between People and Pokemon. She wants to capture one of every Pokemon in the Kanto Region, one day, so she can study them, and learn as much as she can about them.

🎀 I decided to bring Sora back because I think she will be a perfect must for Pokemon Snap! As a student, she just wants to study Pokemon in their Natural Habitats... what’s better than Pokemon Snap for that?!  🎀

Look who found their old Pokedex!

“A visitor? Or your girlfriend? Huh?” A voice came from inside the room, chuckling at his own words as the door quickly flew open!

“Welcome to the Dragon Sanctuary!” Akio’s voice was loud and proud, full of energy! He beamed down at the two youngsters and folded his arms over his chest. “You’re Sora right? Well, the name you said you go by…” Akio would ask the young woman, tipping his head to the side. His grin returned but grew!  “Well, I’m glad you decided to come here for research! Always happy to teach people about Dragon-Types!” he held his hand out to the girl.

“Girlfriend!? We just met!!” He hissed, the joke clearly going over Noel’s head as a red tint coated his cheeks, this poor boy…

Sora wasn’t quite sure what she expected... but it certainly wasn’t that! She almost expected to see a bearded, grey-haired, life-hardened, old man. Someone covered in scars and steadied by years of dealing with dragons... But this man seemed quite the opposite! 

“U-um! Hello!“ She quickly bowed, “My name is Sora! It’s very nice to meet you!“ She straightened back up, and folded her hands in front of her skirt, “I look forward to learning from you!“

“Well, that and lots of dragons to take care of, Grandpa’s still trying to raise Dragon populations! Some trainers leave their dragons here for awhile for a breeding program too!” Noel beamed back at her, now walking backwards with his hands behind his head. “Hey, hey. Whaddya wanna come here for anyways? Just curious!”

“Usually people our age are out traveling about! Ahh that’d be so cool to do…”

The Arcanine walked behind them, still sniffing at the girl as they made their way to Akio’s office. 

Noel gave a brief knock before he opened the door, “Grandpa! You got a visitor!”

“I’m here to learn more about Dragon types!“ She chippered, “I’ve been studying to one day become a Pokemon Professor, but I don’t know what I want to specialize in yet.“

“The Professor thought that if I get out and see more, then I’ll have a better understanding of where I want to direct my research!“ 

She stopped behind Noel at the door, and eagerly tried to look past him to see into the room. She didn’t know if she should introduce herself immediately, or wait for Noel too, so instead she just tried to take a sneak peak at the room.

The blonde blinked at the sight, chuckling as he walked around the counter, using a whole arm to hold the Arcanine back. Noel offered the girl a free hand to help her back to her feet. Smiling down at her, he couldn’t help but the laugh a little!

“Sorry about him! That’s Haetae, he’s Grandpa’s Pokemon!” Noel would muse, pulling Sora to her feet and pointing at himself, “I’m Noel by the way! Akio is my grandfather~!” he seemed very proud at that fact, resting his hands on his hips now as the Arcanine would sniff at the new girl! He let out a happy whine, a small bark as a hello as he licked at her hand! Noel however, would beckon her to follow him down the hall and past several offices. “He’s down this way! Lemme lead ya too him!”

Her face still felt hot as Noel helped her up, but she quickly cleared her throat, and patted flat her skirt, “T-thank you...” She looked back at Haetae as he whined, and smiled at him as he licked her hand, “It’s nice to meet you, Haetae.”

Noel’s voice snapped her attention back to him though, and she lowered her hand from the Arcanine to look back at him, “Oh! Thank you!”

”This place is a lot bigger than I was expecting!” Sora stated, as she followed Noel through the corridors. She curiously look at each door they passed... wondering what kind of secrets each of them could hold, “But I suppose it has to be to house all of your Grandfather’s research!”

There was a blonde boy around her age behind the counter, humming as his fingers flitted through paperwork, it wasn’t until she spoke that his gaze broke from his work, bright yellow eyes gazing up at the girl and blinking.

“Ah, yer here to see Grandpa? Are you…erm…” He glanced over the the monitor beside him, filled with schedules and emails. It took him a bit, but he found it! 

“Ah! Miss Ueno? All the way from Kanto…?” There was a pause for him, and his eyes lit up! 

“I’ve never been to Kanto before! What’s it like!? How many cool Pokemon are there!?” This poor boy didn’t know who’s attention he attracted…

A large Arcanine bounded around the corner towards them! Full speed ahead! The Fire-Type ran circles around the girl in an excited manner, his large, fully tail wagging at high speeds before he stopped and crouched down before her! Play time?

“Kanto is beautiful! But it feels so old fashioned compared to-“ She stopped mid-sentence as a flash of movement caught her attention. She whirled around, just as a Pokemon came bounding towards her. 

Not at all expecting it, Ao let out a sharp scream, and stumbled backwards. She quickly raised her hands to shield her face as the large Pokemon came to a stop in front of her. She stood there for a moment, before realizing nothing happened, and suddenly realized she had her eyes squeezed shut as well. Slowly, she opened one, to see an Arcanine crouched before her. 

She was suddenly extremely self-conscious of the fact that she had just screamed out in front of the front desk of a very big building though, and her face immediately went red. and she looked around to see if anyone was staring at her...

Arrival

Sora slowed to a stop in front of a large Rayquaza statue that stood proudly before a large, modern, geometric-styled building. She sucked in a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, shifted the weight of her bag on her shoulders, and started around it, and towards the large, sliding glass doors leading into the front lobby.

She felt the heated air hit her in the face as she walked through, and she paused for a moment to take a look around. The inside of the building was modern and welcoming, and almost overwhelming in size. 

Nervously, her eyes locked on the front desk, and she walked over towards it.

“Um... hello? I am sorry to interrupt... but I am supposed to meet with Mr. Conley. Is he in?“

Headcanon: 

Sora used to go by the nickname ‘Ao’ for most of her childhood. But, after her childhood friend died - the one she originally planned to adventure with, when she was 10, she grew upset about that nickname. Not to the point that she hates it, but to the point that she get’s sad every time she hears it. No one is allowed to call her that now, and she doesn’t even like using her full name because it reminds her of her old friend. So now she goes by ‘Sora’.

Was that girl…staring at her? Emily decided to stare back for a moment. She wore a lab coat, so maybe she was a scientist? Or a researcher? Maybe for a secret underground organization doing all sorts of vile experiments, and it’s Emily’s job to stop them!  Nah, that was way too far fetched!

Still, Emily approached the other,”Do you know? Do you know who I am?”

“A-ah!“ The other noticing her staring, and even approaching her startled her, and she involuntarily gasped, “N-no? I mean, should I? I am sorry! I’m not from around here! I just arrived in Galar today!“

“Sora.” She said to affirm her name. “Quite a pretty name! I’ll be sure to remember it.” Freckles laid on his stomach, waving both of his paws at Sora, clearly liking the attention.

Mio turned to follow Sora, and nodded at her latest comment. “Yes I am. It’s been a while since I’ve challenged any gyms, but we haven’t slacked in our training, have we?” Freckles shook his head in a dramatically tired manner. “Are you a trainer as well?”

Sora was still fighting the urge to try and pet Freckles, but at least Mio’s question distracted her, and she sheepishy reached up to play with a strand of her hair, “Well... no? Not exactly...”

She quickly shook her head and decided to elaborate, “I mean, I wanted to be one when I was young, but I’ve been studying at a Pokemon Lab since I was ten.”

The smile quickly returned to her face though, “I see a lot of Pokemon Trainers every day though! And I love seeing all the different Pokemon, so that’s been good enough for me! I really admire Pokemon Trainers. You’ve got to be really brave to travel the wilderness and fight and stuff!”

“I do have an Eevee though!“ She chirped, “I adopted her from a friend of mine before I started studying! She’s really cute and fluffy! But we’ve never battled together!“

Freckles scampered up Mio, reaching the top of her head before getting a good glimpse of the new trainer in front of them. She seemed nice, and smelled of sweets! He waved happily at her and chirped.

Mio smiled sweetly at the girl. “That would be wonderful! Thank you kindly.” She scratched the top of Freckles’s head before continuing. “Oh, my name is Mio, by the way! And this is Freckles.”

Sora looked like she very much wanted to reach over and pet the Pachirisu too, but she contained herself, “It’s very nice to meet both of you! My name is Sora!”

She gestured behind her with a smile, “The PokeMart is this way!” Sora turned to start walking in that direction, “Are you a Pokemon Trainer, if you don’t mind me asking?”

[ao-sky-dreams]

Sora has two modes:

OMG POKEMON!

and

omg people... what do?

[ao-sky-dreams]

“Good morning!” Mio smiled. “Actually, I think there is. You see, my Pachirisu Freckles has been begging me to bring him something sweet, but I’m not sure where to find a sweets store. Do you by chance know any?”

“Awe! A Pachirisu?!“ She looked around excitedly, “I’ve never seen one in person before!“ 

She hoped their tails were as fluffy in real life as they were on a computer screen! 

Sora happily clapped her hands together, “I know the perfect place! It’s not far from here if you want me to show you? I should get some berries for my Eevee too!”

@pkmntraineremily​

Oh wow! That girl was so colourful! She must have a lot of self-confidence... gosh she wished she could pull off something like that... 

...Sora subconsciously wrapped her lap-coat style jacket further around her. Maybe she should ask her more about Galar? Yes! That’s good, right? She had to learn as much as possible to document every single Pokemon she came across after all!

[ao-sky-dreams]

@flos-virent​

“Good morning! Is there something I can help you with?“

[ao-sky-dreams]

Bag? Check.  Phone? Check.  Pokedex? Check.  High Quality Camera? Check. Laptop? Double Check.

Sora sucked in a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, before patting her cheeks to snap herself back to attention.

She can do this! She would not let Professor Oak down! She had been studying under the Professor for 6 years now, and was totally ready for this! She was going to Galar to work on the Pokedex, no matter what anyone ( aka: her parents ) said!
