Pokemon: Rapunzel (Story 3) (rewriting 2023)

Chapter 23: PWT

Nate's pov

I don't understand why Rosa just collapsed like that in route 6... she kept crying, making faces, holding her hand out, saying, wait... and Heaven... I really thought I was going to loose her.

Meloetta told me it wasn't serious, so I didn't take her to a hospital, but just looking at Rosa suffer in her sleep was terrifying. was she dreaming about her parents? She wasn't cold or wasn't dark... she was normal

"Wow" Rosa looked around "this place is big" I nodded as I looked at the big stadium right in front of us

"Yeah, funny how this place just opened a few hours ago!" I waited for an respond, but it never came. She was staring off into space "Rosa?" She flinched and looked at me "you okay?" She nodded

"Yeah... just thinking about something" I leaned closer to her face, smirking

"About the movie?" She sweat dropped

"No" she looked away "just ditto" ditto?

"Is there something wrong with ditto?" She shook her head and just didn't say anything else. I really don't like how she's like this. she passed out for no reason not too long ago. she worries me

"Sorry" I looked at her confused. did I think out loud again? "Yes" I facepalmed

"Yo!" Hugh waved towards us, running next to Clay and Cheren.

"Cheren! Hugh!" I gasped. its been about two months since I've seen Cheren in person!

"What am I? A bag?" Clay asked. I nervously laughed

"So sorry" I looked at Cheren, he was staring at Rosa staring off into space again. I pet her head. she stared at me

"So! Rosa" Cheren smiled, offering his hand, she shook his "warm, I see that you're feeling better. Nate gave me quite the scare when he called me awhile back"

"Sorry, I'm fine now" she held my hand happily. I blushed hard "I have Nate to help me out" I smiled and looked down

"Are you actually blushing?" Hugh asked. I covered my face with my free hand

"No..." Clay cleared his throat to gain out attention

"Well, here we are!" He looked up at the building "whaadya think? Great buildin' huh?"

"It's amazing" I smiled

"Looks great" Hugh made a confident fist

"Eh..." Rosa was in space again. Meloetta came up and poked her cheek, she didn't respond towards it

"Here's where the Pokemon World Tournament takes place!" Clay said, facing us "this place hasn't exactly attracted the world yet, so you all have to participate in the Driftveil Tournament. anything goes in this here tournament! Eight people will be participatin' and if ya win three times, yer the champion!"

"I still don't see why I'm here" Cheren held he ridge of his nose "I'm busy looking into something"

"Ya know somethin' Cheren. the one who's gotta show everyone what pokemon battlin' means is you. and yer pal ain't here, either!" Blade? "I'm countin' on the power of youth, 'cause everyone likes up-and-comin' stars!" He looked at all us "ok! Whenever her ready, get on over to- yer friend alright?" I looked at Rosa confused and saw her swaying in place with her eyes closed. not again... I caught her before she fell and dragged her over to a bench

"Hey, hey" I softly slapped her cheeks "come on, wake up, you okay?" Why did she pass out again? Cheren held her wrist and waited a moment

"Still warm, still breathing..." he looked at me "what so you think happened?" I looked at Meloetta looking calm, staring at her
