Yay! Sonoko's done! And her Pokemon are so cute! I would have had her up sooner, but I had to finish thinking up her background info for my "A Journey in Hoenn" fan fic. So here's that:

Like Kaito and Shinichi, Sonoko is from Rustboro City. Her father, Shiro Suzuki, is head of the Suzuki Corporation, which I’ve decided I’m going to have in place of the Devon Corporation. Unlike the role that Steven Devon plays in the games as the Pokémon Champion, Sonoko is instead an avid Pokémon Coordinator and is a big fan of Toichi Kuroba and Yukiko Kudo with aspirations of becoming just as good as they are one day. Her older sister, Ayako, is starting her career as a Pokémon Watcher and is traveling Hoenn with her boyfriend, Yuzo Tomizawa, studying Pokémon and observing them in their natural habitats. Sonoko enjoys visits from her sister and learning more about the kinds of Pokémon she might encounter on her own travels.

Sonoko’s starter Pokémon is a Mudkip. She’d always thought that it was the cutest of the three starter Pokémon and was eager to get her own. Her Mudkip is very playful and driven, often getting caught up in Sonoko’s different temperaments when it comes to friendly battles and competitions. It listens to Sonoko well enough, but can often get confused if Sonoko doesn’t make her orders clear, as the case can be sometimes amid the excitement of competition. Mudkip also tends to mimic Sonoko’s behavior and follows her lead. If she’s snooty towards a Trainer, Mudkip with be snooty to that Trainer’s Pokémon.

Sonoko met her Skitty on the road just north of Rustboro. Skitty had smelled the food that Sonoko and her Pokémon had been eating and stole some. It battled with Mudkip and Sonoko saw that not only was the feline cute, it was smart and graceful too. Inspired and driven, she and Mudkip didn’t give up pursuit of the Skitty until they caught it. Skitty is a sassy little thing and does whatever it wants typically. It’s also very vain and self-centered so it loves the spotlight and all of the attention it gets whenever Sonoko uses it in competition. If it ever listens to Sonoko it’s during competition, because it doesn’t like hearing anything negative being said about it.

After receiving her Trainer’s license and starting her journey, Sonoko accompanied Ayako and Yuzo for a while. During their brief time traveling together, they came across a bunch of flower Pokémon like Bellossom and Roselia. Naturally, the wild Pokémon fled from the humans when they were discovered, but a Roselia fell behind and got stuck in a bramble, hurting itself in the process. It wouldn’t let any of the humans and their Pokémon get near it, though, so they had no choice but to capture it if they were ever going to help it. Even though it was stuck, it proved difficult to capture. Ayako was the one to capture it in the end and they took it to the nearest Pokémon Center. During the rest of the time Sonoko was traveling with Ayako and Yuzo, she bonded with the Roselia and it became friends with her Pokémon. When the time Sonoko decided to go her own way came, Ayako gave her Roselia’s pokéball, saying that it would be happier with her. Sonoko uses both Roselia and Skitty as her two main Pokémon in competitions.

How she met the guys and girls:

Sonoko has always been a good friend of Ran’s ever since they were little. Their mothers had been best friends and traveling companions when they’d been young Trainers themselves and Sonoko often took trips to Petalburg to visit Ran while they were growing up. Sonoko has an April birthday, so she starts her journeys before the boys do. She knows Kaito and Shinichi though because they grew up in the same city and went to school together. The two boys didn’t really like hanging out with her that much when they were little, however, because she was such a huge fan of Toichi and Yukiko’s. Naturally, because Sonoko is also an aspiring Coordinator, she and Kaito became instant rivals when they began their own journeys, both too proud to ask each other for advice and training tips. Shinichi tends to slink away into the background when they get into heated Coordinator conversations. She gets along with them well enough though, but it’s clear that she’s not their favorite person.

After starting her own journey, Sonoko did travel with Ran for a while, until she entered her first competition in Slateport and lost horribly, her inexperience really showing. That is why she started traveling with her sister for a time, because she felt that she couldn’t face an awesome natural pro like Ran. After regaining her confidence and wining her first ribbon, she meets back up with Ran again in Lavaridge in time to meet everyone else.
She likes Kazuha and Aoko, and thinks Akako’s ok and doesn't mind being round her, but she definitely prefers it when Akako’s not traveling with them because of the girl’s ghost and dark type Pokémon. She tends to get into a lot of arguments with Heiji, especially if he’s said something to upset Kazuha, so he’s not her favorite person either. She thinks Saguru, on the other hand, is cute and tends to stick to him like glue if he’s ever around. This is always a source of amusement for the other boys’ because Saguru is socially awkward and too polite to turn her away. Of course this only endears him to the other girls because they believe that he’s so nice and sensitive (much to Kaito, Heiji, and Shinichi’s chagrin). Sonoko enjoys traveling with Ran, and the other girls and stays with them until they travel to Mossdeep City where she meets Makoto (there’ll be more on that to come in Mokoto’s Trainer info).
