Chapter 10: The life of an idol!

The dew was still on the grass of Saffron City's gardens, and the first sun light was appearing between the skyscrapers. The Trainers were going with Hillary Spice to record her next video clip; I need you to love me.

While they were walking on the streets they saw a comic book store. Brock stopped to take a peek of the last number of Smooth and big, a magazine about girl bikinis.

-You keep walking, I'll catch you in a while – said Brock while still looking at the magazine.

-You come with us you perv! – said Misty.

-That's not fair, seeing some pictures won't hurt anyone – whined Brock.

-Shut up! – said Misty angrily.

They were trusting Ash to get where they were going, so of course they got lost between the buildings of Saffron City.

-Who let Ash guide us? – said Misty.

-I'm only taking a shortcut, we'll be there really soon – said Ash optimistically.

-I've been travelling with you years enough to know that you have no idea of where we are… a Psyduck with a cold would guide us better – said Misty.

-You were the one who left me guide, Mrs Gyarados… - mumbled Ash.

What did you say Ash? – said Misty smiling spookily.

-No…nothing – said a fearful Ash.

-Gyarados' fury is nothing short of mine! – shouted Misty while punching Ash so hard that he dug a hole inside the pavement.

The other people looked away, sweating nervously.

-Guys, I'm very happy that you came, I'm sure that this is going to be my best video clip thanks to you! – said Hilary, trying to stop the arguing and violence.

-Hilary Swan, I'm happy to have the chance to admire you one more day! – said Matt, hugging the singer so hard that she almost suffocated.

-Help… I can't breathe… - said Hilary.

Suddenly a tall and strong man came out from inside the bushes, grabbed Matt by the head and sent him flying.

-That was too much, it wasn't needed to send him flying towards the sky… - said Hilary while looking for Matt using Talonflame-shaped binoculars.

-Your safety is my main concern, Miss Hilary – said her bodyguard.

The man then hid again inside the bushes.

After some more minutes of walking they arrived to the filming set. The filming was going to be in the Kalos of the past, where women used to wear magnificent dresses with patterns, umbrellas with laces, exquisite jewellery and nicely combed hair. Men used tuxedoes with wide shoulder pads, a bow tie and a top hat.

-Hilary darling, your dress is in your dressing room and the makeup artists have been waiting for you for more than 20 minutes – said one of the set coordinators

-I'm coming! – answered Hilary, smiling sweetly.

Hilary was going to be the protagonist, so she'd wear a long white dress with a high waist and a golden lace, and plaits in her hair.

Hilary was going to her dressing room when one of the coordinators appeared, with a worried look in her face.

-Hilary honey! We have a serious problem. The actors who were going to play the protagonists of the clip won't arrive on time, they lost their plane! We have to find some substitutes!

While Hilary was preparing to start filming, Ash and Misty were arguing as always. The quarrel caught the attention of the director of the clip, who started listening.

-Why do you say that Charizardra doesn't make a good couple with Blastoishenry, they are perfect for each other! – shouted Misty.

-Because Charizardra is in love with Venusauraoul! – answered Ash.

-We all now the Shoujo won't finish like that, it would be too obvious! – retorted Misty.

-Why don't we bet something in the Game Corner? – said Misty

-OK, what's your bet? If you win, you have to carry my backpack for a month.

-And if I win you'll buy me all the candy I want – answered Misty.

The quarrel was inspirational for the director, who thought that Ash and Misty were perfect to play the protagonists.

-What emotion, what a feel! You are the perfect actors for a romantic comedy! – said the man. – I'm the producer of the show you're talking about. You red-haired girl are perfect for the role of the prince! And you man, you'll be his beloved one!

Silence then invaded the set. Ash and Misty were shocked, and said no with their head.

The director offered them something they couldn't refuse:

-If you accept I'll tell you who Charizardra chooses in the end.

But the gays shook their heads again.

The fascination of the director got bigger, never in his 20-year career had he seen such a perfect synchronization between actors. So he kept insisting. The guys said no each time in a different way. Hilary appeared then, as a true Kalos member of nobility, prepared for the filming of I need you to love me.

-Please guys, the actors didn't come and we have no substitutes – said the singer, whining.

Then Ash and Misty decided to accept the roles.

-Wonderful! This is going to be a true work of art! Glory awaits me! – said the director while jumping all across the room.

Some minutes later, the guys appeared dressed just like the director wanted.

Ash wore a long dress with a flowery red and blue lace. The sleeves, the neck and the skirt had golden lace. The shoes were high-heeled, and tied to the leg by a lace. His hair got undulated, and he got a blue rose in it. His makeup was only lipstick and eyelash mascara.

Misty wore a white silk shirt with laced neck, with an indigo jacket and black pants and socks. The sleeves, neck and buttons of the jacket were decorated with golden filaments. She wore black shoes with a big buckle. Her hair was short and undulated.

When they saw each other they couldn't avoid roaring of laughter.

-You're beautiful Ashley – said Misty giggling.

-Ashley? And what about you? You are a… misty-rious gentleman!

-You should think becoming a woman, dresses suit you – said Misty.

-Oh really? – said Ash mocking her.

-OK, OK! Save that passion for filming! – said the director.

The filming crew then told them their positions and movements. The story was Romeo and Juliet but taking place in ancient Kalos. In the first part of the clip they were going to meet in a ball, and they'll discover the rivalry between their families.

In the first scene, Ash and Misty were supposed to dance while Hillary sang, but the director didn't expect Ash to be so badly coordinated. Misty tried to guide him, but her efforts were useless. Ahs finally learnt some basic steps.

-Will you know how to spin on your own? – asked Misty.

The boy then smiled, and started to make Misty spin.

-Ash, stop, I'm getting dizzy! – shouted Misty.

But Ash didn't listen, and made her spin quicker, until they both fell on top of one of the assistants.

-Cut! Oh my God what a natural scene, I knew I could trust you! – said the director while hugging the trainers.

Ash and Misty where confused because of that reaction. Between scenes both of them kept joking, and the director kept telling them how good they were.

The last part was a Pokémon battle between the families, just like in the original play. Ash's family Pokémon was an Arbok, and Misty had a Clefable.

Arbok used Acid as its first attack, but Clefable used Minimize and it failed. Clefable then used Desarming Voice, confusing Arbok.

While the Pokémon faked the battle the protagonists of the clip had to try and calm their families.

Suddenly Hilary's Jigglypuff went out of its Poké Ball and intervened in the match, wanting to be the protagonist as always.

Chaos ensued, and Arbok hit Ash's lips with a Poison Sting by mistake. The boy was fully paralyzed on the floor.

Misty looked how Ash got poisoned and ran towards him. She knew what to do, but she didn't want to kiss Ash at all. She preferred to be run over by a thousand Tauros.

She breathed heavily and prepared to kiss him, but just a moment before doing so, she had an idea to evade that situation.

Since everything was perfectly filmed she decided to call Nurse Joe for help. Then he kissed him to extract the poison from his body.

-Hey, what's happened? Why am I lying on the floor? – said Ash.

-I managed to extract the poison by kissing you, now you're safe – said the nurse, blinking an eye.

Ash then shuddered and answered:

-What!? That was my first kiss! Give it back!

-I didn't know it was your first kiss. Hope you enjoyed it!

After that incident Misty couldn't stop laughing.

Hilary decided to go with themto the Pokémon Center, where they'd be for that night. The singer, saddened because she didn't want to say goodbye, decided to invite them to a party in Donatella's Mansion.

-Guys I'd like to invite you to a exclusive party that's happening tomorrow. But you'll have to dress fancy!

-Really!? – said Misty. But we wouldn't like to take advantage of your help…

-Not at all, I'd be bored without you in the party! Besides, you've helped me a lot these days! – said the singer smiling. – I'll come tomorrow to tell you all the details!

Before entering the Pokémon Center, Misty saw that in front of it was a 24 hour gaming machine centre.

-Shall we solve our dispute Ash? – said Misty.

- Of course – answered the boy, smiling.

They chose a game called Mistyrius Girl and Mattirius Boy revenge. It was about a maskd boy and girla that had superpowers and used them to defeat evil enemies. For each enemy they defeated they got a point.

While Ash and Misty played Brock and Matt were busy reading hentai manga.

After hours competing Ash managed to win.

-You're good, but not as good as me. You now have to face punishment.

-Do you really think I'm going to? – said Misty.

Ash got angry and both of them walked towards the Pokémon Center.
