Pokemon: Rapunzel (Story 3) (rewriting 2023)

Chapter 9: Gym

Nate's Pov

I started cheering for Rosa on the stands even though the battle hasn't started

"You got to be kidding me..." Hugh groaned behind me "if you never brought her here, i could've been the one to battle my first gym"

"Chill bro" Mike laughed next to him "why cant you let go of the fact that she use to be part of Team Plasma? Its not like they lasted, and she rescued abused Pokemon. why do you hate her?"

"I will never forgive Team Plasma..." Hugh muttered

"I don't see whats there to hate about Rosa. even though shes cold, theres a reason for it, her shadow" Jack smiled "did you see that shine in her eyes?" He ran his fingers in his hair and leaned downward in awe "and her hair... and her voice..." i narrowed my brows at him

"Don't forget her curves" Cam smirked. i glared

"Hey! Back off! Shes mine!" I blushed when i realized i just said that "i mean..."

"Uh no, you got the A sisters, give us a shot on getting the girl" i shook my head "what ever happened to that Yancy girl? Didn't you say she was a famous idol or something?"

"Well..." Yancy was a odd story to talk about "after I discovered that she was an idol, I had to call it off. a international police has to be hidden and if the public found out about us... you know" I sighed "but forget it! Rosa is mi-"

"Hey Nate!" The A sisters rushed over to sit around me "is this seat taken?" Ally asked in a flirty way. i chuckled and put my arms around them while they leaned on my shoulder

"Go ahead" i had completely forgot about the match once i started talking to the girls. I looked down and saw Meloetta frowning at me...

I looked up and saw that the match had already started, Rosa was sitting on the floor while running her hands in her bangs

"What happened?" I asked, how can i get so distracted when one of my friends is battling a gym leader

'She was looking at you and she feels a stab of cold in her heart' i frowned and watched her stand back up

Rosa's Pov

I was walking with Cheren towards the battle field "ill be honest with you, i know you're a skilled trainer. if you can beat Nate in a Pokemon battle, the Pokemon that i was going to use won't have to chance... So if you don't mind" he smiled at me "I would like to use my original team that I used while traveling the Unova region 2 years ago" i shrugged

"Don't care" he nodded and walked towards the end of the battle field after he dropped me off here. i took out the Pokeballs from my bag and looked at them all... I'm going to battle a gym leader... I never saw the day

I would've gave Hugh the opportunity the battle him, but since he keeps yelling, demanding, and calling me street rat, he can forget it

"I will use 2 Pokemon! You may use as many as you like!" He yelled. i looked over at Nate and saw him flirting with those girls that were trying to bully me the other day. he wasn't even paying attention to me... I should have known. i held my heart in pain. Why would someone like a player like him care about me? I only agree to be his partner in crime, nothing else... so why does it hurt?

I lost balance and sat down for a minute "are you alright?!" Cheren yelled. i didn't answer him, I looked back at Nate now looking my way near Meloetta, with a concern face

I snorted and got up. I don't care if he doesn't care or if he does, he's nothing to me. "I haven't used this baby in a long while!" He said while taking out a Pokeball and making it bigger "go Serperior!" He send out a grass type with no arms and sharp eyes "how you doing buddy?!" He grinned. Serperior closed its eyes while smiling "please show me the Pokemon you will be using!" I nodded and took out a Pokeball, not even caring which one I use
