Lois pulled up a Moment later and got out to see Macie about to battle someone...

Lois: Hmm? Macie's battling again? Who is she battling this time?

"I have no clue" Jenny replied

 

[Joanna Matilda Barlow]

"I have no clue" Jenny replied

Lois: There's something about all this that really gets me. *Looking at Jenny* Am i supposedly the only one that thinks this or is it as if Macie's getting placed on a glorified pedestal. Expected to be the one to do it all?

"Why are you asking me?" She asked curiously

 

[Andrita]

( Light Ball + Evoilite Pikachu would make it far superior to regular Raichu by a lot... Pikachu is holding both . )
The Nameless Trainer went outside to watch the battle . He seemed at least somewhat interested with how this semi-spar would play out, although his eyes didn't have the same glow it did moments prior upon staring down that Charizard. He definitely seemed to radiate an insane pressure and power. However, this wasn't meant to be what was desired the most. What he desired was to see who amongst these youngsters had the stronger will, the ability to strive harder. And looking at Macie, he could tell immediately she had far more drive than her adversary. What she did with that drive... He wanted to find out personally. She didn't deserve the attention she has, but yet she definitely obtained it. This man wants to know why .

Sara meanwhile was comforting Sara and her Pokemon, all whom were bodied insanely hard. It was obvious that whatever fought them was the equivalent to a running train fighting a small insec, and even that made be lowballing the sheer destructive force on Anna's pokemon as of this moment. Sara just looked at the action from outside the window, hoping Macie and Green do their absolute best.

"Why are you asking me?" She asked curiously

Lois: And why shouldn't i ask you? You apparently are more familiar with the fame and celeb lifestyle. So if anyone may have the info or knowledge on the situation... Namely this constant assumption of fame or overdoing the fame handle... It'd have to be you. No one else here would know more about this fame business than you. The two girls going by the last Name Prescott... they couldn't have that much knowhow on this. So... Come on.. humor a curious single mother and registered Nurse here. What's going on? What is everyone's deal on making Macie out to be some golden Idol before the start of adulthood?

"Its because everyone has high expectations, they want her to be more than a regular person" she replied

"Its because everyone has high expectations, they want her to be more than a regular person" she replied

Lois: What the heck for? *Scoffs* She's only 16 years old for cryin' out loud. She's not ready for the fame and fortune business. Macie doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. She should be finding it being enough being just a normal young lady. She's got plenty of time to worry so much about the fame. I'm talking from some experience here. Back when she used to be in Sheltered shrubs... she tried wear something called "Fake up" and it didn't look all that good. She along with her friends Dodie and my daughter Ginger... were trying to be something they weren't. I tried talking them down and told them that it was too early for them to feel like they should grow up. That they have their lives to think of the future. that they should be happy with who they are on the inside... not worry about what people say on the inside. That kind of sage advice is still as sound now as it was then.

Lois: well... Probably not. But i do know one thing... That cookiefoot is gonna need a whole lot of wide eye protection. And i'm not talking about your common protection package either. She's gonna need a bodyguard to be keeping their watchful eyes on her every second. Because... Like i may have said before... She might have new buds now... Surely you are without a doubt one of them... but, she's still very well considered and treated as if one of my own and happens to be friends to my daughter Ginge' back home in Connecticut. If anything happens to her... My daughter'll be giving me aching earful.

The Nameless Trainer finally responded. It was a deep, masculine, and powerful voice. He crossed his arms and closed his eyes as he said it . " The Rising Star... Macie... Her destiny is for her to decide. No one else has any right to say otherwise, no matter how much they care about her wellbeing . Influencing others to do a set deed will never work out in your favor. That is how people such as Giovanni , Maxie , Ghetsis, Lysandre, and many criminal leaders came to be. They were forced to be on a set path due to something that occurred in life, or were foolish enough to stay on a path they know will affect them negatively in a harsh manner, scarring them and causing them to take a path that eventually lead them directly to death . If you influence Maxie as she is now... You'll be directing her only to self-harm . Let us see where this particular path takes her ... Will it be be a path of righteousness and fulfilment ? Or, will it be a path of destruction and suffering for all who surround her. She walks firmly in the middle path, and can teeter to either side. This particular path cannot be influenced by any external sources. She will have to find the way that suits her own self " .This man said all of this as if he has gone a similar path, but the look of distant sorrow suggested his path was one of destruction and suffering, not one of fulfilment. Becoming the best doesn't mean you get any perks from it . If a being such as Arceus has regrets on how it handled creaiton, then surely a human whose accomplished so much in his lifetime has a few things he deeply regrets.

Lois: Who's to decide... I am not saying force her to stop this path. But you got to understand... Macie's not of a stable mind. Her mind and psyche is gonna crack. You might think that's mean for that to be said... But you guys don't really know Macie the way that i do or the way that my daughter Ginger and her gossip friend Dodie does. Macie isn't one with a strong built mind. Never was. Now... She's a smart cookie. She might know what she wants out from all this. But she isn't gonna be capable to withstand for too long of a period. Granted that what you say is true and i'm sure that it very well could hold water and pressure upon it. But Macie will crack. It's only gonna be a matter of time. Plus... I am sure that she can do this as she's holding her own... But call it paranoia or overthinking the matters. But this happens to be a Mother's intuition speakin' and i'm telling you... This old girl's tellin' you that she smells a rat and it's got words: "Fame Cracker trap" written all over it.

The Nameless Trainer literally just looked at her. He nodded solemnly. " Your concern is appreciated. It means you care enough about that girl that you are willing to go through a lot for her. I respect that . I would never take that away from you, and as a mother you have every right to care about them . I have had my own daughter... But I lost her a long time ago and have since forgot such a feeling . However, what is important to note is that we cannot influence directly what path they have to chose, rather what we believe they should take. I've seen so many others do such and destroy their children. I can see what she can become, and I don't want such a brilliant mind to be destroyed. And also... I sense a manipulative person at work " . The Man did not give away who he was referring to, but he definitely sense it on one person in the direct company of the others. " Be careful who you trust here.... " .

Sara looked at the trainer with a bit of awe. She never met a person who she related so much to. However, he matched the description of a man who Madison was speaking of. However, she shook her head at the respond and continued spectating. Madison meanwhile entered the place along with the Charizard. Both the child and the man looked at each other, before sprinting towards each other and hugging one another. "Daddy...." . She murmured softly , tears of joy springing from her eyes . The Man for the first time in years smiled greatly, but did not cry . " Sweet Madison... I'm glad to see you are alright " . Sara looked as if she got hit in the truck. "Wait... If you are her dad.... You come from another world like she does ?! " . Sara asked. The Man nodded, then was carrying Madison. Charizard nodded, and gave it's pokeball to the man as a sign of acceptance . The Trainer With No Name nodded a bit . He then looked back at Lois. " You do what you feel is correct... What happens will happen. I have not been so happy.... In many years " . He said, hugging his daughter and nuzzling her cheeks.

( Yep... Madison + The Trainer With No Name... Are Daughter + Father respectively )

Lois: You really do see dire reason. Sure am glad that someone sees it. I am glad to know it. You are right... Really. I suppose that maybe letting Macie soar in her way would be best. But sometimes... it's just best to look back and see what she could have been doing instead. Her parents must be very fortunate.

But what happened next got Lois to feel touched seeing a reunion come alive. Seeing a father and daughter come back as one... She didn't know all the details behind it... but she didn't deny it. It was a sight to see.

However what got more dramatic... was that it caught the ears of Macie who was in the start of a battle with her adviser.


Macie: *Calling out* Mrs. Foutley... I really don't want to hear about them. It's sad knowing that i had to emancipate from them. I saw them... Saw them in St. Louis by surprise and stated that i emancipated from them. *Gasps* Oh Sweet Mother of Mercy... I can't believe that i forgot about them. I'm such a ditz. *Groans* Dumb Lightfoot. Really stupid. You forgot to follow up with the Emancipation papers. Darn it! *To Gene* Gene... Do you have access to the Court papers that consist of Emancipation?

Gene: Yeah...

Macie: Have them filed and then see if you can get a hold of my parents. Find out where they are and Tell them to stay where they are and send the papers to them. Immediately. *Screams in frustration* Details... Details. *Looking up to pray* Arceus, I ask you... Is it too darn much to make this easier?! Do you insist on ripping my heart out? Because, you're doing a swell job at it!

Macie was stressed by the fact of seeing that the Emancipation was made official. But she also had to stay on the level. Insist that she focused on the battle that was gonna between her and her Adviser.

As the scene with Madison and her father was playing out nobody seemed to notice that Diana had left without making a sound. Where she went to was up in the air but she had left her bag with Wakka so right now it was up to him to figure out who to match the items inside with those present, but she didn’t leave without giving the man a message. “I’m off to take care to the Pokémon we’ve been tracking for a while, or rather observe it when it makes contact with someone I just do happen to be related to. DON’T FOLLOW ME.”

Wakka happened to look down and suddenly see a bag on the ground next to him. It took him a minute to figure out what was in the bag. There was also a note from Diana. But he was now wondering about the bags contents What exactly were the contents and what were they for? There was also a outfit of some sort. But it didn't seem to register with him as he looked confused. He showed them off to Luzzu and it was then that something rather clicked.

Luzzu: Hmmm.... that is a weird coincidence. What would Diana leave her personal items for? We better look into this. Wakka, Inform the crew of the matter and then come on. We're gonna look into this.

Outside the Hotel a Minute later...

Macie and the crew all got outside of the hotel and went to a spot that nestled a little bit away from the hotel. To ensure that no damage would be done where unneeded. Macie walked over to her spot with her Gothita and smiled. She didn't think that a battle was expected. But then in her mind... It was just practical form to see how another trainer made their moves and what their style was.

Leslie stepped up and posed as a referee to the match as she had partial entitlements due to being an offspring to the Pokemon Champ of the Kanto, Johto and a highlighted Rising U.S champ Blossom C. Burke...

Leslie: *To Mrs. Taylor* I shall be the ref. but i do entirely admire your sense of straight professionalism. *Announcing* Ladies and gentlemen... This is a single one on one pokemon battle... Scheduled for ONE FALL! The battle shall go till the pokemon on either side is knocked out or unable to continue. On this corner From Orlando Florida... She's a rising prodigy of Pokemon trainers spanning across the east coast. A Graduate from the top Prestigious PokeAcademy and with high ranks in class. An Upperclassman of the coming age. A newly hired Personal Adviser to the Rising Star... Give a round of welcome to... Grrrreeeennn.... TAYLOR! On this corner... A Rising star come to life from Metropolis, Kansas. Roommate to Joanna Barlow and a down to Earth girl of virtue and sincerity... Give it up... for... the Rising star sensation... Macie... Melody... LIGHTFOOT!

Macie: *Calling out her Pokemon* Mystic Eye, It's time for a battle.

Macie's Loudred came out as well but stayed in the sidelines. Gothita used a little telekinesis on Loudred and turned him into a boombox. Where the Ears started to Emit sound and music...



Gothita was well then ready to battle and was for getting a shot at showing what she can do...

Macie: Gothita... I want you to see on winning this. But if you happen to not win... it's okay. As long as you do your best... It's still fine. I will be proud no matter what.

Mystic Eye: Goth.

Macie T.: You can do this, girl. Don't worry about anything. This is a possible win in the bag.

Joey: You can do this, Rising Star. You go get that win, Gothita. You can do it.

The cheers were already starting...

Malkav Andrita Rcticwolf Rapror Augustine November Witch

The announcer started. Lesliwent on. To many this would be Green's proper introduction to the posse. She could hear the cheers for Macie going over. It was a reminder to show that this was her show. Maybe there could be a conflict of interest if Green won. But then again, if she did, it would be proof of something.

The doubts swirled in Green's head as her synapses went wild. Then she tossed them away. She could never win with such doubts, especially in a contest of Psychics. She needed to be calm, serene, and anticipate attacks. That would be the ticket.

Out of the cloud of her thoughts came one word: "Go!!!" Leslie had called the battle. Green planted one foot in front of the other and moyioned one hand at her Espeon, thr other cocked back and is needed at a moment's notice.

"Solus, use the move of your namesake, Sunny Day!"

Thr Espeon barked as the sun's intensity magnified. The quaint Cleveland courtyard would feel like a sauna, likely making everyone ij the vicinity very uncomfortable. Not only would it assist in the Sun Pokrmon's movepool, but it could throw off thr opposing trainer was well.

Macie: *Nods* I'm impressed with that first move there, Mrs. Taylor. It is a good opening. I usually never think on using Sunny day. It never crossed my mind. Although... I only have one fire pokemon. And yet... i never had it use that move even though it happened to have known it.

Macie then opened the match on her move with having her Gothita use something to start off subtle.

Macie: *Commanding her pokemon* Gothita, Let's make this a good opener and use Future Sight. Then to create a standing ovation... use Psyshock on Solus! Be friendly though... It's a battle. Not the front lines.

Macie's Gothita nodded as it then made with the first move Future sight. One that would actually hit on the 3rd round of turns. But then it used Psyshock. A Standing ovation opener.

Macie opened up immediately with a Futute Sight, then into a Psyshock. This wouldn't be a one by one attack affair. So be it.

"Dodge, Solus!" Green shouted, but thr lack of conventions countered her calculations and the Espeon took the impact. A physical Psychic attack that penetrated to thr defences. Luna would've taken that blow no problem, but Solus winced.

"Sorry about that, friend, but you can outmaneuver that Gothita. Turn the tide, Morning Sun then Laser Focus!" Green cheered. She pointed on finger gun at the sky towards the blazing heat, then right down towards the Gothita. She held it there, envisioning Espeon's next attack.

Solus shined brightly, stunning the crowd as Espeon absorbed the sun's intense heat into a soothing energy that healed it of the Gothita's last attack, then focused in on the Gothita's weak spot. There was no time to prepare for the next move; thr Gothita would surely get a hit, followed by the Future Sight, but her Gothita was in a bind now; Solus could heal almost anything that the Gothita could throw at it.

Macie: *Commanding her Pokemon* Gothita, you can reverse this... Use Reflect and shield yourself. Hit on Solus's weak point... blast at it with a Psywave then make a good intended connection with Dream Eater!

Macie was not about to call in for backing down. This was a battle and it wasn't major. But she had to show her Adviser exactly what it was that she was capable of. This was for the proof that she had something going on. And that she was serious in going the distance. No matter how it may have gone.

Macie: *Looking at her Adviser* You're a good battler. I love the shine that your Solus has. It's got a beautiful shade of Green and pink. It's lovely. And just like you. I love your determination. Really.

"I appreciate it," she shouted. "You have spunk, and potential. But I need to prove this one. An advisor is useless if you already know everything that I'd throw at you."

Espeon, the Sun Pokemon. Named is derived from the words "ESP", meaning Extra Sensory Perception, and eon, meaning an exceptionally long period of time. It had been an exceptionally long period of time since she battled. How fitting.

Green focused. She had to concentrate. This wasn't the way to battle with Espeon. This bravado was the flavors of Gyarados and Tyrantrum. Espeon. Psychic type. ESP. All Pokemon share a bond with their trainer, but psychic types are especially deeper. Green closed her eyes.

She felt out in the void. Felt out for her Espeon. The Espeon reached out for her. She could feel it. Espeon was fighting valiently, but it was missing something.

A year ago she met Solus and Luna, then to ragged Eevees. Abandoned. Alone. Two kennels in a day car. What happened to you?

Visions seemed into Green's mind. She saw two Eevees, fleeing from in the storm from a sinister force. Long, dark, slithering in the reeds. Baleful eyes hivering amidst the reeds. A flash of lighting. Another Eevee, the mother. Barking. The twins flee. They don't look back. They hear a scream. Another lightning bolt.

Green is visibly taken aback. She felt that pain. Psywave. One foot falls behind the other, Green bracing as if she herself were hit. Solus is flung back, the dirt sliding against it's pause as it braces the hit.

Green braces her stance once more, examining the battlefield with fresh eyes. A Reflect, protects against physical attacks.

She can feel a ping in her mind's eye. Green closes her eyes again. They're running again. They find a drainage ditch. They hide. They hide all night long. They're wet. They're cold. They're scared. All nighy long they don't sleep. Just the two of them. The two of them.

A migraine of pain. Like her skull is being stabbed. She opens her eyes. Espeon is hit with Future Sight. Espeon is being bombarded. Her finger guns are lowered. She holds one hand on a PokeBall. She feels Luna within her ball. Solus can feel it.

In their trance-like state, the three feel connected. Green places two fingers on her temple, the location of the third eye. The three are in sync.

Espeon calms itself. It reaches out again to the morning sun, refreshing itself and glowing anew. And finally it feels the call of it's friends. The pain of loneliness, loss, from the night. She can feel the days alone in the kennel with just each other. But most of all, it feels it's trainer's determination.

"Solus, we are with you! Use Synchronoise!" she shouted. Things were tense as she waited for the next move to connect. They had to win, to prove that she had things to teach Macie, and to prove that Luna would always be with Solus, even if they weren't side-by-side.

Green braces her stance once more, examining the battlefield with fresh eyes. A Reflect, protects against physical attacks.

She can feel a ping in her mind's eye. Green closes her eyes again. They're running again. They find a drainage ditch. They hide. They hide all night long. They're wet. They're cold. They're scared. All nighy long they don't sleep. Just the two of them. The two of them.

A migraine of pain. Like her skull is being stabbed. She opens her eyes. Espeon is hit with Future Sight. Espeon is being bombarded. Her finger guns are lowered. She holds one hand on a PokeBall. She feels Luna within her ball. Solus can feel it.

In their trance-like state, the three feel connected. Green places two fingers on her temple, the location of the third eye. The three are in sync.

Espeon calms itself. It reaches out again to the morning sun, refreshing itself and glowing anew. And finally it feels the call of it's friends. The pain of loneliness, loss, from the night. She can feel the days alone in the kennel with just each other. But most of all, it feels it's trainer's determination.

"Solus, we are with you! Use Synchronoise!" she shouted. Things were tense as she waited for the next move to connect. They had to win, to prove that she had things to teach Macie, and to prove that Luna would always be with Solus, even if they weren't side-by-side.

Macie's Gothita felt the attacks as they came but it wasn't as effective due to Gothita's Reflect was still lingering and still stable.


Macie: Please... don't you call yourself useless. Everyone has a use. No matter what it may be in life. There's always a use for someone. You can only be useless if you think of yourself as such. And to me... you're nothing of the kind. You're already showing dedication. Why do you think we're here now? For thrills? No. We're showing our skill... You're showing your battle skills and i'm showing mine. Mrs. Taylor, That is screaming usefulness loudly.

Macie was being very sincere and was voicing how she doesn't enjoy hearing people calling either her or themselves useless. It was like someone saying that they shouldn't even be with same courtesy to exist or live. She didn't like that at all. But she had to stay in the game. She had to keep on focus and keep rolling with the match.


Macie: *Commanding her Pokemon* Gothita, This is now where the battle gets heated. Gothita... Let's show some determined skill. Hit Solus with your Shadow Ball followed by your Thunderbolt embued with PSYSHOCK! Conclude this turn with Rest.

Macie smiles and looks at the others who were watching with intent....

Macie: Thundershock is primarily a Electric move... But it turns out that all pokemon... within reason can use it. If it's compatble for them use. So it's said.
