Pokémon One Shots!

＊〜Paparazzi - MegaVisionShipping〜＊

Hiya! I little MegaVisionShipping to kick this book off! I just really felt like writing this, no clue why! It's overall just a really cute ship! 

So basically this is like, 6-10 months after Serena left for Hoenn. Aria is still Kalos Queen, and Alain is still Kalos Champion. (obvi!) Shauna opened a clothes/costume shop. Sometimes people come in for a disguise, mainly famous people. She runs it with Trevor, because why not? Or should I say Wynat? I'm sorry for my puns, but that was too stupid not to say. (Or type? Whatever) 

Anyways, on with the one shot. Hope you enjoy. Ship On! 

- Ari! <3

Aria's POV

I was calmly making my way through Lumiose. Nevermind, that's a lie. I was attempting to escape the hoard of paparazzi that wanted to interview me. Oh, and the fanboys. They're obsessed, I swear. I would have put on a disguise, but I forgot mine and I just finished a photo shoot. I looked behind me, to make sure I lost them when I bumped into someone. "Oh, I'm sorry!" I exclaimed as I walked back. It was Alain, the Kalos Champion. That's embarrassing. I mean, we were probably going to meet, but I didn't think it'd be like this. "Uh, it's fine." He replied. "Oh, you're Aria, right?" He asked. "Oh, yes! That's me! You're Alain I think?" I questioned. "Um, yeah. So what're you doing here?" He said, trying to make conversation. As if on cue, the paparazzi came. Oops, don't forget the fanboys too. Lovely. Just when we started to talk. "Trying to get rid of them," I answered, pointing behind me. "Oh, they're chasing me too now. It's a bother." He added. "Come with me, I'll help you lose them." He offered, holding out his hand. I glanced behind me, and took his hand awkwardly. It was difficult running in heels, but Alain was pretty fast, so holding his hand helped. "So, don't you have a disguise or something?" He wondered. "Yes, I do actually. I forgot it at home though, and I just came back from a photo shoot." I told him. I had no idea where he was taking me. "Um, where are we going?" I asked him nervously. Why was I nervous? That can't happen! I'm Aria, Kalos Queen! Still, he was kinda cute I guess..... and he was Kalos Champion, so he must be pretty strong. Ugh, what was I thinking! We JUST met! This is ridiculous? "Hello? You there?" Alain asked, waving a hand in front of my face. "Ah! Sorry, I got lost in thought!" I replied, hoping he wouldn't think I'm weird. Ugh, I'm an idiot! "Well, we're here." He said. We stood in front of a large costume shop, which was next to a quaint café called "Sakura's Coffee". He pulled me towards the costume shop, where a girl with brown hair, tied in pigtails stood at the counter. I recognised her from the Pokémon Performances. "Oh, hey Alain! Who you got there? Oh, it's Aria!" She said, as she turned her head. In an instant, she ran up to me "Oh, it's such an honour to meet you! Do you need a disguise?" She asked, her eyes starry. "Yes, I do need a disguise. You're Shauna, right? Your Pokémon performance was terrific! Hopefully you'll get farther next year." I confirmed. "Oh my Arceus, she recognises me! TREVOR! THE KALOS QUEEN RECOGNISES ME!" she squealed, running into a back room. "Don't mind her, she's a little hyper sometimes." Alain apologised. "Oh, it's fine, I think it's quite charming," I commented, and he looked at me with his head turned before shrugging his shoulders. "Well Shauna, maybe we should get back to work and help her." A boy who I assumed was Trevor came out with Shauna. "Oh! Yes! Sorry Aria! Can I call you that? Anyways, you'll be needing a disguise, right?" She apologised. "Oh, it's fine. Yes, you may, and yes, I do." I told her. "Oh, are you two a thing?" Trevor wondered.

Alain POV

"What? N-no! Why'd you think that?" Aria asked. She was embarrassed by the whole situation. I just stuttered like an idiot. Great. Not I look completely stupid in front of the Kalos Queen. "Oh, sorry! It's just that you were holding hands so I assumed...." Trevor explained. I only then realised our hands were still interlocked. We both pulled back our hands. Now I was blushing like an idiot. She must think I'm so stupid. "Ah, anyways, Aria, let's get going!"

Aria POV

"Of course! Yes!" I blurted out. Goodness, I must look so silly in front of Alain. "Okay, you stay here Alain, I'll bring her back when I'm done," Shauna informed him. "Sure." He mumbled back. She dragged me along with her to a changing room, where she tossed me a white frilled sleeveless shirt, a magenta plaid knee-high skirt, a pair of black transparent tights, some sneakers, and a bag to hold my other clothes in. I changed into them quickly. I had to admit, Shauna was good at this! I barely recognised myself! I came out and she handed me a pair of black, numberless glasses, and a long necklace, with yellow pink and blue beads in it. "There! The finishing touches!" She said after I put them on. She dragged me back to where Alain was waiting. "Done!" Shauna exclaimed. "Oh, now much is it?" I asked. Shauna simply shook her head, smiling. "You're the Kalos Queen! Free of charge for you!" She explained. "I insist!" She added before I could protest. "I- Thank you!" I thanked her. With that, we left the shop.

Alain POV

We left the shop. Aria looked nothing like herself, although it wasn't a bad look. It looked really good on her. "Oh, is that place good?" Aria questioned, snapping me back to reality. "Um, I've never been there actually," I answered. "Then we should go check it out!" She offered. "S-sure." I accepted. Why couldn't I speak like a normal person? This was just fantastic. Note the sarcasm. We walked in, and this girl bounced up to us. "Hiya! I'm Lilac, welcome to Sakura's Coffee! Have a seat anywhere you'd like, I'll be with you in a moment!" She introduced and walked out back to get some menus or whatever. Aria just strolled over to a table for 2 by a large window and sat down. I followed her and took the other chair. We sat in silence for a few minutes, but it wasn't awkward, it was a comfortable silence. She sat with her chin resting on the palm of her right hand and stared out the window at the setting sun. Lilac came back and gave us our menus. "Just let me know when you're ready to order." She said with a smile. "Thank you!" Aria replied, opening the menu. Eventually we ordered some green tea and a their special 'Sakura Cake'. We sat there in silence again. "So, Kalos Champion at 18? Impressive." She said. "Not really. Most contenders are much younger. Ash, who was 2nd, was only 15. What about you? 19 seems pretty young to me." I replied. "Ah, it's the same. Serena almost beat me - surprised she didn't actually - and she was only 14. I'm under the impression you met her? She was travelling with Ash, after all." She corrected. "Oh yeah, I met her. She also travelled with the Lumiose gym leader and her younger sister." I recalled. "Your order is here!" Lilac notified us as she placed our order on the table. "Thank you!" Aria replied. We ate in silence for a bit. "This cherry cake is really good!" She commented with her hand over her mouth. "By the way, shouldn't I have a cover name or something?" She asked.

Aria POV

"Well, if you want to," Alain replied. I thought for a bit... Ava sounded nice! "Then my name is now Ava!" I told him. He smiled and nodded. "Alright Ava, should we go?" I looked out the window. It was almost evening. "Probably. I need to get home soon." I informed him. "Sure. C'mon, I'll drop you." He said standing and holding out his hand. I took it, feeling a sense of Deja-Vu. He paid - despite my protesting - and we walked outside. My house wasn't far, so we only had to walk for a few minutes. "So, uh, wanna meet again sometime? Or something like that?" Alain offered. I was down for that! Okay, I was super excited he asked me, but I tried to be calm about it. Not easy. "Oh, um, sure!" I replied. I felt the blush, but I couldn't stop it. I was probably a tomato now. "Are you free on Wednesday? Say, 3 pm?" He asked as we approached my front porch. "No, I have a performance then. I'm free after that though. You could come and watch if you wanted to, it starts at 2 pm." I told him. I was nervous. Really nervous. "See you there then. Don't forget your disguise this time." He teased. "You can count on it!" I replied. "So, see ya around!" I said, closing the door. I checked Alain left before I let out a squeal of pure happiness. I'm going on a date! With Alain! Ecstatic is an understatement, I was ready to explode! I walked upstairs and flopped on my bed.

Alain POV

I walked away from her house with a stupid grin on my face. I just asked out the Kalos Queen! And she accepted! Now I was going to see a performance. Not that I've never seen one, but I've never been to a live one. I couldn't wait. Today was a great day, all thanks to the Paparazzi.
