Chapter 22
"A Secret Revealed"
Now that Rosella was asleep, Maxie walked to his chambers to prepare for bed himself. He decided that before he went to bed that he would watch the news on T.V. So Maxie was watching the news, when it happened…
A segment came up on the news about Rosella, and Maxie thought, "Hmm… what's this?"
He kept watching, and he found out that two reporters had caught up with Rosella earlier that day and had interviewed her to get her life story.
"I'll bet that Archie was near-by when the interview was being done, and heard everything and was determined to make Rosella his prisoner. Good thing we were close enough to stop him form succeeding." Maxie thought to himself.
He watched the interview with great interest and was a little intrigued when he saw Rosella's Togetic.
He thought, "Now there's a pokemon I haven't seen before. I wonder how I can help her train it if I've never seen one of them before. Or perhaps it won't be quite as hard as I think that it'll be."
The interview continued and Rosella was recounting her gym battles, her trainer battles, and Maxie was a bit surprised to find out that she had only been in six battles and had won every single one. Now the interview turned to a fairly darker note as it covered Rosella's capture by Team Rocket. Maxie was horrified to learn that she had been captured and had been held for about two days before she was rescued. From there, the interview moved to Rosella's adoption by Lance and Lorelei of the Elite Four.
"Aha! So that's what Archie meant when he said that her parents were famous."
Now a few parting words were exchanged and the interview ended, and Maxie turned off the T.V.
As Maxie changed into his boxers, he thought to himself "I wonder what Pokemon Rosella has besides Togetic. I guess I'll find out tomorrow."
Maxie now climbed into bed, and laid awake thinking about Rosella before finally drifting off to sleep.
