Chapter 21: Dressing Room

"Come on little missy! Don't think I'll do easy on you just because you saved Angel's life!" Clay laughed while we battled. I glared and looked at Deino barely standing inside her hole. she keeps on creating them every time I command her to use a dragon type move... I don't understand how that's all she has! Is all dragon type moves! I was pretty sure she knew other ones!

"I wasn't expecting you too!" I shouted at him while returning Deino "you trying to insult my Pokemon!? You'll be sorry!" I grabbed out another Pokeball "go Castform!" Castform came out happily

"What's a puny little thing like that yer got there going to do?!" He laughed. I closed my eyes to focus, then reopened them with a smirk, I could see him flinch

"Okay Castform! This is our last battle! Let's hit Excadrill with your Blizzard!" Castform cheered and started changing the weather, while changing her form. the underground area went from hot and muggy to cold and frosty. Excadrill wasn't super effected like I expected, but it did leave it weak. something that goes down for a ground and steel type "quick Flamethrower!" The iced coldness combined with the fast flames and hit the opponent very roughly, causing it to faint. I huffed and looked away "too easy"

Clay walked up to me "oh! So you think you're all that, huh?" I looked back at him

"Don't really care" he crossed his arms

"How many badges do you have now?"

"Five!" Nate came out of nowhere next to Meloetta. I wonder if he got mad at her like she predicted earlier while I was changing into this White circle skirt with a solid sky blue long sleeve. I don't know why she and my "fashion designers" made me wear this, but whatever

"Five huh?" Clay asked "come with me" he walked us out the gym while Nate hugged me from behind the whole time. I grew annoyed but didn't bother trying to push him away

The sun was up and shining right under us perfectly "good dancers are crucial fer puttin' on a good show!" Clay said out of nowhere. Hugh ran towards us

"Did you get the Gym Badge?" He asked me. he asked me?

"Why do you care?" I asked flat. he snorted

"Well, it's not like you would've achieve anything without your Pokemon anyways"

"Easy now Hugh" Nate smiled. Clay looked at them both

"Oh? Friends of yours Rosa?" I shrugged "ya all ain't bad, I don't know about her lil boyfriend Rosa, but I wanna show you something" my face went red at the word boyfriend

"Wait! I just remembered Clay..." Hugh started "why? What's the reason? Why have you forgiven Team Plasma?" Oh? This sounds interesting

"There's always room for folks to grow and change, ain't there?" Clay responded. Nate looked at me and smiled. I looked away "and if us only go after what ya think is right, ya might end up rejectin' all thoughts and opinions other than yer own. that's might dangerous" Hugh huffed annoyed

"Is that one of those compromises adults are suppose to make?" He shook his head "whatever! I'm gonna fight Team Plasma!" He pointed at me "I'm gonna take you down too!"

"Get real" I snorted

"Come on now guys, you're both my friends" Nate frowned "I don't want to see you fight"

"Who's fighting?" I asked "anyways, what do you want?" I asked Clay

"Ya ever heard of the Pokemon World Tournament?" We shook our heads. Meloetta nodded hers happily. what's she up to? "Trainers from all over the world gather on up to see who's toughest! It doesn't open up for another two days, sorry I had to pop your bubble there on the wait, but I'll be waitin' for you at south end of town!" He walked away

"Hm" Nate started thinking "I wonder if that's what Blade was working on for the public..." he wondered to himself

"A tournament to decide who's strongest, huh?" Hugh smirked "right on! It's time for some special training!" He pointed at me "are you going to enter? Well you better! Because I'm about to kick some Team Plasma butt!" I rolled my eyes

"I'm not part of Team Plasma anymore idiot" I'm not interested in the PWT, I'm not even interested in these stupid Pokemon Gyms! And yet, Meloetta continues to take me to them. what is her reason anyways? "Where we going off now?" I asked Nate. he started thinking

"Well, there's not much scoop I can find, The Ex-TP told me everything I needed to know, so why not go see this PWT?" I sweat dropped

"Seriously? You wanna go there?" He shrugged

"Why not? We can all enter together!" He held my hands "can we?" I looked at him surprised. my cheeks were changing color

"W-whatever... you're the boss anyways..." I'm his partner in crime, it's not we're traveling for fun, but if he wants to go, I could be doing something else. though, I don't wanna separate from him "but what we gonna do in two days?"

"Whatever you want!" He smiled. I peaked in my bag and glanced at my sack full of money

"Well... I can always use more money... can we make a movie?"

"Sure!" We looked at Meloetta "lets go!" I looked around for Hugh

"Huh? I thought he was here"

"He must've left while we were talking" I shrugged and put my hands together excitedly. Meloetta giggled and raised her arms to teleport us away, right before a Emolga flew to Nate's head and came with us

Nate's pov

We made it to Pokestar studios in a snap. I seem to recall feeling something land on my head before we got here

"Rosa?"

"Yes?"

"What's on my head?"

"Your head?" I nodded

"Just a Emolga" she giggled. I looked at her confused and took off a small Pokemon off my head. it was really was a Emolga... the same Emolga that tried to steal Rosa's bag

"Hey..." it looked down in a blush. I raised a brow amused "you're the Emolga I met the other day" it nodded "what made you come with us?"

"Ema..." it played with its fingers nervously "ema ema..."

'She wants to apologize' Meloetta said 'for stealing your bag'

"Oh?" I faced her to look at Rosa "it wasn't my bag, it was hers. you should apologize to her" the two looked at each other surprised

"Ema..." Meloetta explained that she's sorry. Rosa chuckled

"I don't know what's even going on" she turned her shoulder "come on, let's go meet Afro guy" I laughed

"Never bother remembering his name?"

"I don't really care" she shrugged. we followed her to the film making studio. I looked at Emolga sitting in my arms shyly

"You should probably go home now" she looked at me surprised "thank you for coming all the way to Driftveil to apologize" I pet her head "I appreciate" I looked at Meloetta "can you send her back home?" She just stared

"Ema! Ema ema!" Emolga cried. Meloetta continued flying casually

"It seems like she doesn't want to leave" Rosa said without looking back at us

"Huh?"

"Emolga came all this way just to do one simple thing. but honestly? Why would a Pokemon do that without a reason?" She looked behind her shoulder "you do have your charms around girls, I'm not surprised that Emolga wants to be around you" I smirked

"Oh? So you admit I have charms?" she looked back forward without saying a word. I laughed and looked down at Emolga looking down stubbornly, like she was jealous "don't be jealous now!" She grew red "would you like to be part of our international police crew?" She nodded shyly "okay!" Something was coming out of Rosa's bag. a vine whip that went inside my bag pocket and took out a empty Pokeball for me. huh?

A two Snivy's head popped out her bag, one of them sneakered "uh... Rosa?" She looked back at me "when did you get two Snivys?" She raised her arm confuse to look at the Snivys jump out and land on her shoulders to transform into a ditto and Zorua "oh!"

"Yeah" she picked up Zorua and stared at him "he was taking a nap in my bag while I was battling Clay"

"Did you capture him?" She shook her head "why not?"

"I didn't really think about it, I just like having him out here" she put him back on her shoulder and pet ditto. we made it to the film making studio and saw Roderick, known as Afro guy for Rosa, speaking to someone who we didn't know. I put Emolga in her ball so we can speak to him

"We're back~" Rosa sang happily. ah, that was music to my ears. Roderick looked at us surprised and smiled

"Rapunzel! Sam! How amazing to see you two again! It's been awhile!"

"Who is this weird looking guy?" Zorua asked as a child. we sweatdropped. he's pretty rude, huh?

"Excuse my Zorua" Rosa said. Zorua went back to normal and jumped on my head roughly

"Hey!" I glared. he sneakered and remained on me like I was a pillow

"Is it alright if we can make another movie?" Rosa put her hands together "please please please?" I loved when she begged, I can't help it

"Of course!" Roderick smiled "we would love to have our famous Rapunzel help us out again! Now, tell me about your ditto and Zorua" during the time Rosa and Roderick were talking, I was taken to a dressing room so we can begin our next movie of Riolu-girl. in the villain was always pretty weird to me, considering hat I'm a international police

Emolga sat on the mirror desk while munching down on some nuts. it kinda depresses me that Dewott is no longer the right size to travel with, but I love all my Pokemon the same

"You must be Sam" I looked up and went completely red. dammit... hide! Hide! I stood up and moved towards the clothes that were on a rack

"Y-yeah" I answered the guy that worked along side Yancy, Christoph. I don't want him to tell Yancy where I am. I know she's the famous one and all but let me admit, she's pretty fan crazy about me... and I'm not even famous like her!

"I'm Christoph! Which movie are you doing here?" He asked

"Brycen-man" I need to get out of here, but the girl that was still fixing my costume was still working like I wasn't even moving

"Are you Brycen?" I nodded "sounds fun" the girl put on my mask. I sighed in relief and could finally turn around, hoping Christoph wouldn't recognize me. he had his usual double colored blonde-green hair in a styled wild mess, wore a black button up shirt and a pair of jeans, sitting on a mirror desk fixing his hair "who are you playing as? Because I don't think you're playing the girl" he chuckled, I joined him

"The villain" he turned from the mirror and looked at my costume

"Makes sense" the girl told me to sit back down, I obeyed and let her do what she wanted. Christoph dug in his pocket from what I can see from the mirror, and stared down at a old fashioned Xtransceiver, calling someone

"Hello?" A familiar voice called. I flinched

"Hello, is this Rapunzel?" I shot him a look that the girl and Emolga flinched at. how does this guy know Rosa!? They better not start up and end up like Yancy and I!

"Curtis?" Curtis? Oh, I see, Curtis is his fake name like Yancy is fake for Nancy

"Yeah!" He smiled

"I was just calling for a random, sorry about that!" He laughed

"That's fine"

"So what you doing?"

"Trying to get my Ampharos to stop poking at me. Knock it off!" Christoph and I laughed, I made sure I wasn't heard

"Wow! You have a Ampharos? I love electric type Pokemon! I think they're so cool!" Christoph said.

"I guess you can say that, I don't really go for the types" his face went red in a blush

"R-right..." a man in a black suit grabbed his attention and pointed at his watch, signaling he had to go "oh! My colleague is calling, gotta run! Bye!"

"Bye" he hung up and jumped off his seat to face what I'm guessing, is his manager. Yancy had the same one... hope she's not here

"Is that what you called it?" I asked to get his attention. he looked at me confused

"Sam, I didn't know you were still in here" I smiled and walked over with Emolga on my shoulder

"This Rapunzel character..."

"Oh yeah!" He showed me his old Xtransceiver "I lost my actual one in Nimbasa" just like Yancy did "and she found it for me. I don't think I have the time to pick it up myself, but she's good company to talk to during my short breaks" I nodded and walked pass him towards the exit

"Excuse me" the manager called me, I froze "have we met anywhere?" Crap... Play it cool

"You must be mistaken. I'm a international police" I turned and gave a quick smirk "keep that in mind, I don't joke around" Christoph looked at me confused. "sorry" I shook my head "I was thinking of something else" I walked out with the girl who was dressing me

"Ema?" Emolga looked confused

"The manager did know me, but I can't have him recognize me..." she nodded as we approached Rosa playing around with her cape and costume. something seems different towards it. she was standing next to Ampharos, Smeargle, and Sewaddle. they must've done some extra edges, she looked great, as usual

"Hey Ro-Rapunzel" I almost said her real name. she looked up from her mask and smiled

"Hey, I was waiting for you, ready?" The girl gave me my prop. I showed it off confidentially

"Just try to stop my evil plan!" She rolled her eyes and pushed me into the green room, where the magic of Brycen-man strikes back

The movie turned out better than I thought. we actually attracted a bigger audience than I expected... which was odd, because this was only our second movie

"They seemed to like it" Rosa yawned after we left the the theater

"You don't seem like you did" she shrugged

"Well, I like the costume and all, but the plot sort of bores me. the studio makes really short series that only take a few hours to make and a few hours to fix. every movie we saw when we were living in your house was just... boring" I raised a brow "everything is boring to me"

"What do you think is missing?" I came closer to her face in a smirk "romance?" Her face went red, I didn't expect that

"I'm just really went it comes to story plots" she wasn't answering my question. is she being shy? Awe!

"Just tell me, I won't laugh" she looked down

"Oh Arceus! Are you Rilou-girl and Brycen-man?" A pair of 10 year old girls ran over to us with a note pad. I put Rosa in front of me

"She's Riolu-girl, I'm just me, sorry" I gave a bright enough smile so they wouldn't look disappointed

"But... you look like him" the girl with the red hair frowned. I held her hand politely

"I'm sorry beautiful, I hope I didn't upset you" I used my charm, it made the girls blush

"N-no... I'm not upset!" The girl said

"What are your names?"

"Karla and ebony!" Karla responded. I held Ebonys hand also

"I'm sorry that I'm not Brycen-man, but my friend would love to give you some autographs" the girls faced Rosa shyly. she stared at them for a moment before taking their Notepads with a relaxed smile

"I'd be happy to" she signed them both and waved to them as they ran off happily "now" she faced me with a stern look, i sweatdropped. she shook her head and looked away "why did you lie?" I shrugged

"As international Police, I must keep secret. I'm able to be Brycen-man because he wears a mask. if not, I wouldn't be part of the crew" she frowned

"I see..." I pet her head

"Don't worry, I won't leave you hanging" she looked away

"Weren't you the one that asked Mr.Studeeoh if there'll be a romantic movie for us?"

"Oh? Are you saying you wanted to be in one with me too?" I smirked

"Shut up" she looked away. I pet her head again

"Sorry I got your hopes up. I can't be in movies if i don't wear a mask and a full body costume like Brycen-man wears"

"Whatever" I can feel the anger she was holding onto. was she mad that I can't be in any movies without a full costume? Or was it just that I couldn't be with her at all?

"Ah! Rapunzel! Sam! Dahlings!" Mr.Studeeoh came over to us, holding some kind of old looking notebook. Rosa was staring at the wall to notice "I loved the movie!"

"Glad you liked it!" I smiled

"It was alright..." Rosa muttered.

"It was spectacular keep up the good work! It seems that you already have fans in only two movies! How amazing!" He showed the notebook "and I especially loved this!" I read the title and read 'Rosa's world' Rosa didn't look so good

"What is it?" I asked. Meloetta showed up in front of it

'Rosa's imagination!' She cheered. Rosa didn't seem like she heard what Meloetta said, did she not transfer telepathy to her or what?

"Her imagination?"

"Meloetta gave this to me in my office, I read through it and I think it's amazing! Alittle hard to read with the child handwriting but I managed to type it up!" Mr.Studeeoh smiled. Rosa looked over curiously and turned into a dangerous red

"W-w-w-w" she stuttered. I patted her back to help her calm down. is she having a panic attack? It's been awhile since the last one

"You okay?" I asked

"Meloetta... you didn't" Meloetta put her hand on her hip and winked sassily

'I did!' Rosa's head started steaming, her movement was hazy and her eyes looked dizzy.

"Oh! Gotcha!" I caught her wobbling body before she fell

"Where did you find that?" Rosa asked Meloetta

'The secret pile you keep your treasure in' she put her hands together 'I was bored, so I looked in it and found your journal from when you were a child... I wanted your story to have some fame into it, you know?' Rosa shook her head

"Without my permission, as always" Meloetta nodded

'Yes' Rosa moved away from me

"I need some air" she walked out. I looked at Meloetta

"What did you do?"

"Did I cause something?" Mr.Studeeoh frowned

"No, no" I waved my hand "its okay, um..." I stared at the book "may I?" He handed the book

"I very much loved her creative talent. the story was so amazing that I want to hire a director to help make it into a movie!" I looked at the book surprised. Rosa wrote a story that could be made into a movie? What other talents does this girl have? She can sing, draw, paint, is robotically smart, strong, and now she can write? She never fails to amaze me "but it seems like Rapunzel never knew that her Meloetta ever gave me the journal. I would need her approval if we're going to do this" I nodded

"I'll talk to her" he nodded

"Let me know and I would be happy to make the story a reality!" He walked away. I stared down at the journal. Meloetta peaked her eyes from behind it

"Why do you keep doing things without Rosa's permission?" She shrugged and spun around

'It's not like she's my master' that's true 'and why not have alittle fun? Read it' she pushed the journal closer to my face

"I can't read it"

'It's not like she said not too, she was very proud of the story when she was younger. she's not going to say no' she smiled brightly 'she likes showing off her talents, but doesn't show that she does' I stared at the journal curiously. I do want to read it, but I think it'll be the right thing if I asked permission 'suit yourself' she disappeared.

I ran out the theater to look for Rosa. she was sitting on the fountain with Lanturn swimming in it "Rosa" she looked up and looked more calm "you alright now?" I sat next to her

"Yeah" she sighed "I just had some random memories of when I wrote that" she chuckled "I was corny" corny? "It was embarrassing, to be honest"

"Oh? Than you don't mind... if I read it?" She looked away in a blush

"I don't care, I have nothing to hide" I smiled and put the journal in my bag

"Why don't you say we get out of here and grab ourselves a Castelia cone?" She closed her eyes and smiled

"Sure" she looked at me "I had enough of acting for a few days, let's just go back to Driftveil after this and check out the PWT" I looked at her surprised

"Huh? You wanna go?" She shrugged

"Not really, but whatever" I shook my head amused. she always says that. she snorted and held her forehead "sorry, I'm not myself today... I haven't ate all day" I nodded and helped her on her feet

"Come on, let's feed that donut head of yours" she gave me a look from calling her donut head "my treat"

"As always" she smirked. I rolled my eyes and pocket my hands. I never mind paying for Rosa. I'll buy her the world if I had to. she's special in her own way and does help me get my mind off things. where will I be without her? "Who knows, I wonder the same thing for you"

"Huh?" Did she read my mind?

"No, you're thinking out loud again" I face palmed. I need to work on that

"Let's just go" she nodded and we were teleported to Castelia
