Alina Maxon is just an ordinary girl, and the odds of her making it and becoming the Contest Queen of Eirelia are very low, especially when you consider the current Contest Queen, whom they call the Flower of Eirelia. She isn't rich and her Pokemon isn't a typical contest Pokemon. She's from the small Clover Town rather than a big city. Along with all of this, her closest friends participate in the gym circuit and the contest circuit is a brutal, harsh place with cold opponents. Oh, and she has stage fright.  All Pokemon belong to the author of Pokemon but the characters are mine. Cover art made with Canva.
