Finally got to continuing this.
It is Pokemon AoA page 5. In this page, everything take a different turn and the actual story begins. As you can see, Astral is now traveling with a trainer named Tradonae (Truh-Don-A) and they are at the border to a city named Havenrod.

They are about to be involved in a tournament coming up and Tradonae is going to get more information about it.

NEW CHARACTERS: ( Some you know, one you definitely don't )
Tradonae: Pokemon trainer with a rather mysterious past. Not much is known about the trainer except that he has always had that Absol with him. He is a tactical trainer and usually doesn't give commands because his pokemon already know his strategy. More information will come later.

Absol: The only Pokemon in the group whose name is that of the Pokemon. Absol is also as mysterious as Tradonae but the exact opposite. Tradonae is very strict and calculative while she is impulsive and random and usually hyper. However, it is known that she throws the entire persona away and will literally be a duplicate of Tradonae is battle. She is referred to as his secret weapon but only Astral knows why.

Aferia: An Infernape Pokemon. She is rather blunt but can be a bit of a tease as well. She is always picking on Tradonae for having an almost all female team. She is the speed asset of the team with her Mach Punch. Her flames are odd because they go downward like a unique hairstyle and stays that way even in the rain. Her and Flare are always fighting with each other for no reason.

Flare: A Typhlosion Pokemon and is what he likes to call, the Explosive member of the team with his unique Explosion attack that only he can do. Flare is the most recent member to the team and always gets under Aferia's skin by acting like he is the best on the team, unknown to Absol's power. The clothes he wears and the tattoo comes from the performing troupe he used to be a part of before he joined Tradonae's team. ( He is the one known of you know about )
