Hidden in the shadows of one of Hylia Grace's buildings, a small girl sat with knees against her chest. Her face was stiff, and her breathing hard, completely out of place among the beautiful and advanced Academy.

Now, Alma liked school, enjoyed it even. You know, under normal circumstances, but these circumstances weren't normal, and she was struggling to find something normal to look forward to. Cleaning fossils? No, not possible here. Fossil Fighting, no, she needed to save it for deadly times and being a hero. In the middle of a break from classes, she wasn't feeling very rested at all!

Wait...fossils? Nobody would complain about her having fun, right?

Alma brightened briefly, and shot frantic glances around as she fumbled with her medals. In a second, a medal of a white snake came into view, and she bounced on her heels with a happy grin as she tossed it out, "Trophi! I wanna say hi!" A flash of light, and Trophis suddenly curled around her in a hug, to her gleeful laughter...only one problem. She was a little girl, cuddling with a snake...a very dangerous looking snake, and she didn't realize how dangerous this looked.

Well, there were people who hugged their scary Pokemon, this wasn't that bad, right?
