Joanna: *Looking at everyone* We need to talk. Now. *Seeing Macie walking over to talk with the talent Agent* This is serious.
Ridge: What about, Joanna?
Joanna: It's about Macie and her departure from this group. She's persistent in going her own way. We already know this. But there is something else now that is even a bigger concern.
Zod: What is?
Joanna: There's a Talent agent nearby. He popped in during the contest. The Karaoke Contest and saw Macie. He's aimed to get her to sign some 5 year contract... A $500,000 5 year contract. With the Cleveland Starshine Talent agency Talent Association.
Gaby: That's not a bad thing... is it?
Joanna: Gaby... Wake up a little and think about it... We're on a Journey. We can't deal with anything other than that. What Macie's getting into is a likely scam. There's been a couple people out there who've likely been met with the same exact deal. You don't hear from them... do you? There's nothing good about it. If Macie goes for it... What'll she think it'll do to her Journey?
Gaby: I don't know. I really don't know.

Frank: This is not something we should be worrying about. Macie's careful. She'll know what to do. She's got a couple guns to protect herself.
Joanna: That's not gonna help her ward these people off. What if the Contract has her stopping the Journey? She's gonna be so behind on her journey. She will never be able to catch up. Not ever.
Jessie: Why don't we just let it go. I am not happy with Macie leaving the group. I would hope for her to stay. However... if she is so insisting on going her own way... We can't likely stop her.
Joanna: I don't want her to be on her own. It isn't safe out there. You know that. We can not afford for any of us to be separated...
But it was already done. There was now the Pokemon contest. And the Talent show.
Who was gonna go where?

As for Macie...
She took her two new pokemon and enjoyed them. She was not into going for the contests. Like the talent contest. But she couldn't deny her pokemon the chance to try out for the talent show. However, she happened to walk to where the others were and overheard what Joanna was saying... But also what the others were saying. They were broken over Macie departing. She knew they were. Macie realized that in order to not see their hurt faces anymore... She had to go her own way. Away from everyone. She had Macie Terrace, Leonetta and Tex with her... That was pretty fine with her.
Macie Terrace happened to bump into the trainer who was in the Contest and gasped...
Macie T.: Whoa... Uh. Sorry about that. Didn't see you there. Didn't see you coming. Sorry.
Sarah: *Dusting himself off a little* Oh... It's quite alright. I was not watching where i was going. I was rather captivated by the sight of that girl over there who is speaking with that Talent agent. I don't know who that is... But that girl is a real gem. A rich boy like me... like girls like her. Although... My meowth kinda keeps me grounded so i don't do something that i might not be ready for. I'm 16... But have not found the right girl yet.
Sarah's Meowth comes out and smiles...
Meowth: *Smiles* Howdy. Nice to meet you.
Macie T.: Oh... It's nice to meet you too, Meowth.
Sarah: You with that girl?
Macie T.: Yeah.
Sarah: Cool. You guys wouldn't be heading to Cleveland... would you?
Macie T.: Yeah. We are. We're all going there. Why? You also going to Cleveland?
Sarah: Yeah.
Macie T.: So... we're going to the same place... Okay. Sounds good.
Sarah: *Introducing himself* I'm Sarah... Sarah Markov. I have the first name that would be for a girl. But when my parents had me... They didn't know if it'd be a boy or girl. They kinda hoped for a girl. So they had the name Sarah... But when they found out it was a boy. Me... Well it just stuck. Thereby making my name... Sarah Markov.
Macie T.: Hmm... Sounds interesting. Well... It's nice to meet you. I'm Macie. Macie Terrace. But people close to me... Friends... They call me Macie T. I'm a Goth. So... it explains the Purple Hair and the Goth look.
Sarah: I like that.
As for Macie...
She was sitting at a nearby bench Enjoying the fresh air for a few minutes and letting her Pokemon out to exercise and enjoy the nice air when...
Gene Samuels: *Walking over* Excuse me. Mrs. Lightfoot.
Macie: *Looking up and turning to see a man with a clipboard and papers* Yes? Can i help you? Who are you?
Greg Samuels: Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Mr. Samuels. I'm from the Cleveland Starshine Talent agency Talent Association. Looking for New talent throughout the country. I'm here to inform you that you're the type of person that we'd want to have signed up with us. I've seen your skills back inside that Karaoke Hut back there. At the contest.
Macie: you were there and watching me?
Greg Samuels: Yes. I saw the skill and heard the voice. I called my boss Mr. Whittleson and he wants you with us.
Macie: But why? I am just a nobody special. That's all i am. *Feeling nervous*
Greg Samuels: That maybe so... But in the eyes of many... Millions... You could be a somebody. A Famous singer. You don't need to feel as if you shouldn't.
Macie: It sounds too appealing.
Greg Samuels: We're even prepared to on behalf of the Company. The Company itself is prepared to via its sponsors... pay you $500,000. With a 5 year contract. I even have the check with me.
Macie: I would like to. But I am on a Pokemon Journey and i am also unsure if it's actually real and not some trick.
Greg Samuels: It's no trick. It's legit. All the way.
Suddenly his phone rang...
Greg Samuels: Excuse me one moment. *Answering the phone* Samuels. What's up?
Mr. Whittleson: *On the phone* Mr. Samuels. I'm calling to find out if you've gotten the girl to sign the contract. I got to hand something to the Sponsors soon and they're gonna wanna know if there's a new member to their payroll.
Greg Samuels: *On the phone* I'm speaking with her now... But she's on the fence with it... Not sure as to whether she should do it... or not.
Mr.Whittleson: Well... Talk some reason into her. And call me back with a definitive answer. within the next 3 hours. I need to have that answer before i meet with the sponsors. It's very important.
Greg Samuels: I'll get on it, Sir. I'll try to have an answer before then.
Mr. Whittleson: Good. Good luck.
The call ended...
Macie looked at the Agent and sighed... She didn't know what she was to do. She had to find herself and needed to make her own choices but it was now starting to seem as she was not as ready as she thought she was. She had to find out who she was and what her purpose in life was. However possible. She didn't want to go for it and end up hurting the friendship that she and her best friend Joanna had. But she also didn't want to stay and wait for another shot to come and live life not knowing if she's ever gonna make a difference.
Macie: It sounds nice and i want to go for it. But if i do... I have just a few conditions. 1. Being able to Continue my Pokemon Journey. 2. My friends accompany me whenever they wish. Getting access to the backstage with me without question. 3. If i do this... And i have to do tours... I want my own dressing and changing room. And want for Joanna Barlow, Ridge, Macie T. and Jessie... to be my on stage entourage.
Gene Samuels: We can accommodate that.
The talking of the details went for a few moments more...
