Bridget said. "Yep. Lewis and I should check in at the Indigo center and see who we're battling." Mike said. "You two are sure you won't end up battling each other?" Bridget asks. "Of course! Like we said on the way, we'll be put in different tournament brackets. I'll be in the 7+ badges bracket because I have 9 badges. Mike will be put in a smaller bracket because he has 4 badges." Lewis explains. "Well, we should first get our Pokemon checked in at the center first." Bridget said. They walked to the Indigo Plateau Pokemon Center, and it was jammed with trainers. "Wow, this is major." Mike says. "Yah. Let's get our Pokemon in fast before anyone else does." Lewis says. They quickly managed to get their Pokemon checked in, and they left the center for the main hall of the League. Lewis handed the person there his upgraded pokedex, which she didn't recognize. It took about ten minutes for them to figure out how to get it into the slot. Mike had an average everyday pokedex, which got put in much easier. TBC(Just thought I'd get my characters in!)
