Kanto = 
Following her victory in the Kanto Grand Festival Yazmyne was praised and marketed as the Storm Princess. Yazmyne was perplexed by the title until Dante explained to her that she tends to use storm-like attacks, such as Twister, Gust, Silver Wind, Blizzard, Razor Leaf, and Thunder in her contest performances and battle style, something Yazmyne did not realize.

Yazmyne entered the Sinnoh Grand Festival alongside many of her rivals in... Yazmyne performed with Lopunny and Altaria on the appeal stage; Yazmyne conducted an appeal with Altaria's Perish Song and Lopunny's dancing to illustrate Lopunny as a ballerina dancing before the music of the angel Altaria. The judges picked up the illustration and Yazmyne advanced to the battle rounds in the Top 32. Yazmyne was placed in block A to battle against Zachary in the first round. Yazmyne chose Buizel and Luxray against Zachary's combination of Croagunk and Gible. Yazmyne initially struggled in the battle but found a flaw in Zachary's battling style, allowing her to counter and defeat him. In the Top 16, Yazmyne used Buizel and Luxray a second time, and in the Top 8, she used Espeon and Luxray, advancing to the semifinals. Yazmyne's semifinal opponent was Shaina, and the two dueled with Lopunny and Lucario against Flareon and Cherrim. Yazmyne's semifinal strategy was to utilize an ice and snow performance with Lucario and Lopunny's ice dancing to counter Shaina's Sunny Day strategy. Yazmyne's careful strategy as well as her choices' natural acrobatics gave her the lead in the battle, but Shaina turned in around in her favor to force Yazmyne's Pokemon to battle more directly. Both Coordinators executed powerful combinations and well-timed attack to counter the other, but when time expired, Yazmyne had the most points and advanced to the final stage against her cousin Jillian. 
On the final stage, Yazmyne performed with Espeon and Altaria against Jillian's Infernape and Gallade. Yazmyne and Jillian proved to be equals in their match, executing excellent combinations in a pendulum battle where the victor was not clear-cut. After an explosive collision between Altaria and Gallade, Yazmyne was shown with 2.5 points remaining but she had depleted the rest of Jillian's points, allowing her to win the Sinnoh Grand Festival along with the Sinnoh Ribbon Cup and the title of Sinnoh Top Coordinator. 
Following her victory in the Grand Festival, Yazmyne battled and defeated Volkner, earning the Beacon Badge and qualifying her for the Sinnoh League, which was to be held on Lily of the Valley Island. Yazmyne trained her Pokemon hard for the competition, but she had heard rumors of a trainer with a Darkrai, who has been sweeping all of Sinnoh. Aware that all of rivals had all gotten stronger as well, Yazmyne recalled some of her old Pokemon for the league, including Ariados, Aerodactyl, Starmie, Dragonite, Chansey, Pidgeot, and Butterfree. 
Yazmyne faced Jackson in as her first opponent in the full battle rounds. Their Full Battle quickly became a highly strategic Contest Battle as they were not able to face each other directly in the Sinnoh Grand Festival. Their last Pokemon were Luxray and Blaziken in a battle between fire and electricity. During the battle, Lucray learned Electric Terrain, which gave him more of a boost than Charge and the edge allowed Luxray to defeat Blaziken and earn Yazmyne a place in the semifinals.
Yazmyne's semifinal opponent was Abdul, the trainer with a Darkrai. Yazmyne was nervous before the battle, but refused to back down. She led with Electivire, who matches Darkrai's Dark Pulse with Thunder. Electivre used Electric Terrain prevent any Pokemon from falling asleep then rendering Dark Void and Dark Eater, by extension, mute. Electivire was recalled for Spritzee, who used Trick Room to speed herself up and slow down. Yazmyne's preparations payed off and Spritzee was able to defeat Darkrai with her Fairy-Type attacks and an enhanced Thunderbolt. Yazmyne used Dragonite, Chansey, and Butterfree with Espeon for the rest of her battle and she matched Abdul completely. The final battle between was between Espeon and Abdul's Entei that ultimately concluded in a draw, which by the rules of the conference, meant both trainers were eliminated from the competition. Yazmyne was subsequently paraded as the only trainer able to defeat Abdul's Darkrai. After the battle, however, Yazmyne broke down into uncontrollable tears devastated from having lost her chance to compete in the finals, but she was supported by her friends. 
Yazmyne stayed for the end of the tournament where Ethan and Jake's battle became the final match of the competition where Ethan lost, becoming the runner-up of the competition as Jake won and earned the title of League Champion and earned the right to challenge the Elite Four. However, Yazmyne could not leave the island with her friends as the six Pokemon she used in her battle against Abdul has to be hospitalized for five more days.
Following the conference, Palmer returned to Sinnoh, knowing Yazmyne was ready to face him. In a fierce three-on-three battle, Yazmyne used Luxray, Altaria, and Lucario against Palmer's Milotic, Rhyperior, and Cresselia. Yazmyne defeated Palmer and finally earned the Tower Print, completing her collection of symbols from the Johto Battle Frontier. 
When Yazmyne planned to return to Hoenn to regroup before her next challenge, she returned Drapion to his habitat at the Great Marsh, leaving his PokeBall with Crasher Wake. Yazmyne then left Lopunny and Lucario with Paris as their Double Performance during the Grand Festival sparked several Pokemon Fashion Companies to want to sponsor them. They also requested Altaria, but Yazmyne sent him to Dragon's Den in the Johto Region with Salamence and Aerodactyl. Only Buizel, Luxray, and Espeon returned to Hoenn with Yazmyne.

==Character==
===Personality===
Yazmyne is a very enthusiastic individual, passionate about battles. Since the start of her journey, Yazmyne's goal has been a "Battle Master". Unlike Justin who had wished to become a League Champion, Yazmyne wished to win multiple league conferences and complete challenges. Yazmyne believes becoming a League Champion will restrict her ability to travel and take on challenges. Yazmyne always treats her Pokemon well and is fully committed to their health, self-esteem, and bond with her. She often, if not always, places them before herself. In this light, Yazmyne hates releasing her Pokemon but also catching them to serve a singular purpose.
At the start of her journey, Yazmyne took losses extremely hard. She would never lash out at her Pokemon, but she would go on tantrums, angry at herself for not being good enough. After losing in the Indigo Conference, she was completely despondent and needed perspective regather her confidence. Since her Kanto adventures, Yazmyne relaxes much more after losses and treats them as learning experiences even though they still infuriate her. Yazmyne eventually learned to be happy for her rivals who worked hard and defeated her in important matches. 
When Yazmyne was a child, Carrie wanted Yazmyne to follow in her footsteps as Justin was following in his father's. However, Yazmyne had no interest in Contests and tried to reject her mother's lessons. However, similar to Justin when placed on a Contest Stage, Yazmyne is a natural performer and knows how to perfectly make her Pokemon shine due to Carrie's lessons. Yazmyne only intended to compete in Contests for one cycle but when she accepted that Contests offered ideas to improve her battle tactics, she decided to commit to them and has proved a fantastic Coordinator.
During her adventures in Sinnoh, Yazmyne is recognized as a seasoned, experienced trainer by her rivals and many other trainers. Yazmyne steps into a welcoming and mentoring role for rivals and passing trainers as well. Yazmyne does not negatively react to some of her rivals' harsh words, often replying with kindness in victory or defeat. She also tempers her enthusiasm in victory and never overestimates her abilities or underestimates her opponents. These traits would continue for many of her future journeys.
Despite Yazmyne's maturity over the years, her enthusiasm for battle, commitment to competition, and desire to learn new battle tactics has never waned, and losses still sting badly. Her dream of winning a league conference is still powerful and bright. When Yazmyne lost in the Lily of the Valley Conference because she drew against her incredibly powerful opponent in the semifinals, she crumbled in tears in the corridors as she was the closest she had ever been to accomplishing her dream.
===Fame and Recognition===
After years of travel, Yazmyne has earned international fame following her many accomplishments as a trainer and Coordinator.
Yazmyne first experienced recognition due to her contest prowess in the Kanto Region  as the daughter of a famous Top Coordinator. Yazmyne quickly earned a following as people wondered whether or not Yazmyne would reach the Grand Festival.
Yazmyne rose to fame by winning the Kanto Grand Festival during her first circuit as a Coordinator and earned the titles of Kanto Top Coordinator and Legendary Coordinator in addition to the Kanto Ribbon Cup. Her result caused all eyes to fall on her during the Indigo Plateau Conference, and she learned the negatives of fame when people wrote articles, telling her to stick to Contests following her quarterfinal loss.
Yazmyne's fame followed her to Riau but ballooned further when she entered The Orange Challenge, especially after her televised victory over Rudy and Supreme Leader Drake. Nick, shortly after, published a book about Yazmyne and their experiences along the Orange Island, which emerged as a best seller.
Yazmyne later discovered she had fan clubs in Johto, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos. Several trainers immediately recognized her. Elite Four members knew of her and openly challenged her. Yazmyne lived up to her talent as she managed to defeat Pyramid King Brandon in a Full Battle and Flint's Infernape in battle with her Espeon.
During her travels in Sinnoh, Yazmyne was regularly approached for interviews, modeling, and other televised appearances. Many of Yazmyne's gym battles were televised, and scores of people would come to watch. Yazmyne was thought to be the most talented and feared competitor in both the league and contest circuits. She was subsequently the odds favorite during the Sinnoh Grand Festival and the Lily of the Valley Conference, winning the former to earn the title Sinnoh Top Coordinator but exiting in the semifinals in the latter after having a draw against her opponent.
Yazmyne garnered further recognition for winning the Lumiose Conference in Kalos, conquering the Kanto Battle Frontier, and emerging as the Runner-Up of the Vertress Conference.
===Battle Strategy===
As someone who wants to master the art of battle, Yazmyne's battle style though her travels is constantly evolving. At the start of her journey, Yazmyne preferred to emphasize speed and power, placing little efforts into defense beyond evasion. When Yazmyne first engaged in Contests for her Pokemon, she believed gym skills and contest skills required different tactics. In contests, Yazmyne replicated her mother's lessons to turn her opponent's power and abilities against them. This battle strategy proved an excellent means for Yazmyne to win a contest and a Grand Festival on her first attempt.
After the Indigo Plateau Conference, Declan advised Yazmyne to apply her Contest skills into her gym and trainer battles. When Yazmyne traveled to Riau, she began to blend her gym and contest tactics into one strategy, which motivated her to improve her Pokemon's defensive skills. Yazmyne subsequently began to incorporate a balance between attack, defense, and speed for each of her Pokemon similar to her brother and added the flair needed for Contests. While Yazmyne's overall results improved, she discarded the strategy during her adventures in the Orange Islands when her Pokemon were not responding well to her commands. 
Instead of forcing her Pokemon to balance their stats, Yazmyne opted to accept her Pokemon's shortcomings and work around them while also maximizing their best qualities and unique traits, such as Electivire's tail to capture opponents, Espeon's precognitive abilities, and Lopunny's dancing. Yazmyne learned to adjust to her Pokemon instead of having them adjust to her. Yazmyne mastered this tactic for each of her Pokemon and continued to incorporate her contest strategies of turning her opponent's momentum, strategies, and power against them. This tactic blossomed perfectly during Yazmyne's Orange League Championship battle against Drake, and it has been her style of battle during her travels in Johto.
Yazmyne's tactic was challenged during her repeated attempts to defeat Tower Tycoon Palmer, who had mastered the art of battle. Yazmyne eventually learned she kept losing because she was trying to turn Palmer's tactics against him, but Palmer knew how to immediately change tactics and compensate. During her journey in Sinnoh, Yazmyne analyzed her very first battle tactics of speed and power and realized she had forgotten her ability to create her own momentum, set her own tempo, and make the first move. Once Yazmyne rediscovered her tempo, she added a layer to her battle tactic of forcing her opponent to adjust to her tempo. She similarly accepted moments where always trying to counter the opponent was not the best strategy. 
Yazmyne mastered this balance when she defeated Pyramid King Brandon in a Full Battle after a second loss to Gym Leader Candice. When she faced Palmer for a third time, Yazmyne shifted seamlessly between setting her own tempo, countering his tactics, and manipulating his commands while keeping true to maximizing the best qualities of her Pokemon. She finally defeated him to conquer the Johto Battle Frontier.
Within Yazmyne's evolving battle strategy, she prefers to go into a match prepared, but she is able to act on the situation at hand, which allowed her to inspire Pidgeot to execute a spinning Steel Wing to deflect incoming attacks and deal an even stronger one.
Contests have improved Yazmyne's creativity. When Yazmyne analyzes her Pokemon's capabilities unique traits, she tries to come up with at least three means of showcasing each trait. Doing so also allows Yazmyne to invent scores of appeals without replicating them between Contests. Yazmyne also measures her opponent's strengths when paired together to make sure their moved blend. Yazmyne often takes her Pokemon's attacks and invents new ways to maximize their usages. A simple example is using her Ivysaur's vines to jump while a more elaborate example is Yazmyne's Espeon using Iron Tail to convert beam-like attacks into a spiral and throw them back at the opponent. This similarly applies to Contest Combinations and improvised techniques.
