A Pokemon Performer (a pokemon black & white fanfic)

Chapter 12: The city of glamour and diamonds and competition

I began to feel like I was moving. I slowly opened my eyes to see where I was. I saw trees and bushes. Well, I'm not inside the battle club anymore, I thought. I closed my eyes again and when I opened them up again, I saw tall glass buildings and stores.

"Where am I?" I muttered.

"Oh, you're awake," said a voice. I looked up to see Ash, smiling. I smiled back but when I noticed how he was carrying me, I quickly got out of his arms and fell flat on my stomach.

"Are you okay?" asked Iris. I slowly nodded my head and got up. I looked around my surroundings. I could tell that we were in a big city.

"We're in Straiton City, AK," said Ash. Oh my gosh, I couldn't believe we finally made it.

"Where's the auditorium?" I asked. Gina hopped onto my shoulder.

"The competition doesn't start yet in the next 2 days." she said.

"That's perfect!" I shouted.

"It is?" they all asked. I nodded.

"That will give me time to buy a new outfit and we could watch Ash's match." I explained.

"That's an awesome idea," said Ash. He rushed straight ahead. But I stopped him.
 
"Two questions, dear brother," I said. "1. Do you even know where you're going?"

"Uh, no?" he said.

"And 2. ladies always go first." I finished.

He sighed, knowing that he had no choice but to come. "Fine, as long as you don't take so long."

At the mall, Iris and I start looking through clothes that were in my style and good for the performance while Ash just stood on the sidelines. I grabbed his hand and I said, "Come on, Ash, help me look."

"Why?" he asked.

"Because I need a guy's opinion." I heard him sigh as we began to look around. I found a cute outfit with a white t-shirt, a black and red short sleeved jacket, blue jeans, and blue hi tops. "What do you think?" I asked him.

"Uh, you want honesty?" he asked.

"Of course I do," I said.

"Its your style, not too dressy," he said.

I agree, Gina and Pikachu said. I smiled and threw the outfit onto Ash.

"Let me guess, you want me to carry your things." he mumbled.

"Yep," I said. Iris came from out of the railing and brought out a white sleeveless dress that had a fluffy tail that reach to the floor. There was diamond earrings, necklace, and bracelet. The shoes were knee high white converse. "I love it, Iris. Not too dressy and not too formal and something to move around in."

"Your welcome, but how are you going pay for it?" she asked. "It's 4000 myn."

"My aunt sells all of her homemade pies at bake sales and fairs. And my parents give me money for my birthday and Christmas.  And I have enough to buy both outfits." I explained. I really liked the first outfit for traveling and I needed new clothes anyway.

I went up to the cashier and gave her the money. "Where'd ya git all this money, kid?" she asked. "Robbed a bank or somthin'?"

"What do I look like to you? I was given this money and if you don't do your job, then I'm gonna-" I raised my fist and my hair started lighting up but I felt a hand stopping me. I looked over my shoulder to find Ash, shaking his head.

"Sure, whatever ya say, freak," she did her job and gave me some change. "Now git out of my store before I call Officer Jenny!"

I grabbed the shopping bags and said while leaving, "Fine. But when the next time I come over here and you have the same kind of attitude with me, I'll burn you to a crisp."
