Pokemon: Rapunzel (Story 3) (rewriting 2023)

Chapter 12: Virbank

Nate's Pov

I knew when Rosa tells me to stop, she never means it. I know when people are lying and I know she is. Meloetta told me that she likes when I'm near her, but flirting with her and trying it hold her close was making her nervous and that's why she continues beating me... it's getting annoying. if it wasn't for Meloetta, I would be dead

I get that she's nervous about how close I get to her, but I don't mean no harm... I just like being with her, she makes me feel... different

And being with her in this journey will get me to not think about just my dad... if Mr.Cheren never gave us that lesson on Shadows, my shadow would had already left me years ago. I'm lucky to be alive

I watch Rosa while we are in a cafe in Virbank City "Rosa?" I smiled while resting my chin on my head, admiring the way she ate like a pig

"Hm?" She asked with her mouth full, how cute...

"I like to thank you for what you did for my Ampharos" she looked at me confused "I know all he thinks about is Dad... I feel his pain and thats why he's light won't shine... but your song, it made him, us, realize that things happen... he got his shine back, so thank you" she blushed and looked down

"It was nothing really..." I chuckled and whipped away the food that was on the side of her lip. she tensed up, but relaxed and smiled. that was weird...

"Funny thing is that your Ampharos still won't give my Ampharos the time of day" Ampharos rolled her eyes while eating her Pokemon pallets

"Probably because your Ampharos flirts with every girl he sees, just like you" Rosa snorted "just like you... you flirted with the waitress too" I smirked

"You're jealous?" She glared and tensed up again, but relaxed again. hm...

"Shut up" she looked away "why didn't you bring your Ampharos with you anyways?"

"Because he leads the pack together, they often scatter around on their own. he leads them together, so he can't leave" she nodded and looked down at Sewaddle, Smeargle, and Ampharos making some kind of clothing "say... your Smeargle, where do you manage to get it? It's not from around here" she frowned and sipped on her water

"I didn't live here before..."

"Oh yeah... you lived in Kanto" she nodded

"Smeargle belonged to my mother" her eyes were flashing back and forth from dull and shine. I quickly got up

"Let's go look for Looker!" She nodded and stood up

"Swa!" Sewaddle caught her attention and showed her two red long ribbon like fabric in her hands. Rosa picked it up and looked at them

"What the... where did you get this?"

"I think they made it" I pointed out. "Sewaddle is a sewing Pokemon, it uses its silk to make clothing. Ampharos made the cotton and Smeargle made the color... looks like you have your own pack of fashion designers!" I laughed, she pocket the clothes and stood up

"Thank you everyone" she returned all of her Pokemon "shall we go?" I nodded and held her hand

"Looker called and said where to meet, we better get going before he gets a big head" we walked over to a building and took the elevator up. Rosa was looking through a pink Pokedex

"Hey... where did you get that?" She closed it and put it in her bag

"Bianca gave it to me, she also updated yours" I looked at my Pokedex confused

"Why didn't you tell me?" She shrugged

"Forgot" i narrowed my eyes

"you're lying" she sweatdropped "and you have a robotic memory, so you can't forget" she rolled her eyes
