Sylvia was eager to get her room number and make it into the school where she would be able to study to become a full-fledged Pokemon Professor. She skipped up to the front counter, greeting the receptionist cheerfully and gave a Piplup that was atop her head a card, which he gave the receptionist successfully. Due to Sylvia's low stature, it was common for her to rely on her best buddy for support when it came to height issues, as he could easily stand atop her head and reach whatever it is she was trying to get or put away.
The receptionist giggled at the work of teamwork and gave the Piplup a card and a little folder meant for holding the room card, similarly to a hotel in a sense. "Enjoy! Your room is 14B. Thank you!"
Piplup handed Sylvia the cards and Sylvia beamed at the receptionist. "Thanks a bunch!" she exclaimed, bounding off happily.
"Can you believe it, Pip? I can't believe it! I'm so excited!" she squealed.
Pip sighed, squeaking some things to her.
"I know, I know, it's just a regular school, but I'm just happy! Can't I be happy?"
Pip seemed to shrug as he moved to Sylvia's shoulder and squeaked some more things.
"Oh, look! Here's my room!"
That was fast. Sylvia entered her room and thrust her bag onto the bed right away, pulling off five Poke Balls from her bed and tossing them all around the room. "Come on out, everyone!" she exclaimed.
Spore materialized first. He was a Breloom. Quite big for his age, actually, and when Sylvia had first met him, she was about seven years old. He was a Shroomish back then, and he seemed to follow her everywhere and protect her from dangers. That was during a trip in Hoenn. She had become friends with him since then, but then she had to return to Snowpoint City, her home. Somehow, though, Spore had found a way to come back to Sylvia when she got to Twinleaf Town to get Pip. The three have been inseperable since.
Next was Coco, an Eevee. Sylvia had found Coco in a laboratory hidden beneath the ground. It belonged to Team Rocket at the time, hoping to make an Eevee with four elemental moves that its evolutions can learn. The goals were Moonblast, Thunderbolt, Hydro Pump, and Dark Pulse. Unfortunately, they only succeeded in one of the four moves. Since Eevee was a failure, she was going to be put down when Sylvia jumped in to save her. The entire lab was destroyed in the process, but Coco was still safe. Since then, she has been shy and cynical of anyone but Sylvia, but after Sylvia began traveling with some human companions, she began to warm up to the rest of the world, little by little. Now, Coco was as hyper and energetic as Sylvia--not to mention tiny!
Then there was a Pikachu, whose surfboard Sylvia had in her bag. This Pikachu was from Alola and knew the move Surf. Sylvia also knew that when it felt like evolving, it could become an Alolan Raichu. Her name was Kianalu, which was Alolan for 'big wave'. Very fitting, in Sylvia's opinion. When she had first gotten Kianalu, it was traded to her by a man named Akamu. Akamu was saddened because he felt he couldn't take care of Kianalu as best as he'd like, so he gave her to Sylvia in hopes that she could take good care of her. Sylvia accepted and made sure Kianalu felt loved. Kianalu missed her previous owner dearly, but she was always happy with Sylvia.
After that came Nova, a Camerupt that Sylvia had found back when it was a Numel. Nova was a female Camerupt with an anklet and a Mega Stone, the Cameruptite. When Nova was in her pack in the wild, Sylvia was climbing up Mt. Coronet. There was a landslide and Nova had come tumbling down, away from her group. When Sylvia found Nova lying on the ground, paralyzed and low on energy, she quickly put herself to work and created a fire bed for Nova, quite literally setting a bed of sticks on fire and placing her in it in order to bring up her internal and external temperature to proper heat, and surrounding it with rocks so that the fire was controlled and wouldn't spread. Since then, Nova and Sylvia became close friends.
Finally, the last Pokemon was a Driflim named Hectate. Sylvia forgot what it meant, but it was definitely meaningful. He was in the hands of Team Galactic when they took over the wind power plant in Sinnoh near Floaroma Town. Back then, Hectate was a mere Drifloon, but Sylvia made sure to take charge and drive out Team Galactic, saving and befriending Hectate.
Every single one of her Pokemon was caught because they wanted to be--except Pip, in his case, since he was given to Sylvia whether he liked it or not (and at first, he didn't). Sylvia grew large and special bonds with them and would never let them go. She replayed her adventures in Sinnoh over and over again, happy that she was finally here.
"Alright, gang! Let's get unpacking!" Sylvia cheered.
The other Pokemon shared in her enthusiasm and helped Sylvia unpack everything.
This was going to be a fun experience, Sylvia and the others knew it.
