Sumaru was a region with a very newly established League--so small, in fact, that while a few had received invitations to the Pokémon World Tournament, Eriko--or Elly, as she was known to many--was one of the even smaller number that had chosen to attend. Going overseas was no new idea for her--she'd studied in Unova for a time and it was nice to return to the region, if only for a little while. Most of her Pokémon were in their balls (Ghost-types could be quite the troublemakers, after all), she was accompanied by her Mismagius and her Aegislash. For the most part, they were both happy to stay near Elly, but eventually the Mismagius lost interest in simply waiting around and took it upon herself to take a look around, eventually opting to hover over Taka's shoulder to see what he was doing.
