Daydream of a model

This is my first fanfiction I actually write down, I hope you enjoy it.

I somehow can't get used to calling it Visorshipping, I think that's because I hate reducing people to parts of their clothing, but since the expression is common by now, I guess I'll have to.

I don't own the characters, places or pokemon itself, and I have no intention to make money with this story in any way.

Chapter 1: Rosa's old crush

The sky was cloudless when Skyla's airplane headed to Lentimas City. Next to a group of tourists, the Mistralton City gym leader was glad to have Rosa convinced to travel with her, a seventeen year-old girl with very long dark brown hair tied in two large sock buns above her ears, with two long locks hanging loose to her waist, and shorter locks on either side of her face, pale peach skin and dark blue eyes.

She wore her regular outfit, a pink and white visor on her head, as well as a salmon pink tank top tied with a bow around her neck under a white quarter length slim fit top. On her bottom half, frilly flared mustard yellow shorts over black Lycra leggings with salmon pink socks were to be spotted.

Her bag was placed in the stacker, and since she had a fear of heights, all she could do to distract her was watching the news show in the little TV screen. After she listened to a report about the few Team Plasma grunts that were still on the run being spotted in the woods of Route 5 with one ear, the next spot really caught her eyes: The background voice spoke about a young trainer who just defeated the champ of the Unova region, Iris. Rosa met her in Castelia City about a year ago and had a show-fight with her, in which the four pokemon she had back then all got knocked out with just one hit by her Hydreigon. She would have doubted anyone could defeat the girl.

Rosa was even more surprised when she saw who the successful challenger was. "Nate?", she asked in disbelief as a picture of him and Iris leaving the plateau together was shown. How often did she think about the day she met the boy of medium length with messy dark spiky brown hair and brown eyes... As always, he wore his scarlet red tennis visor with a black and white logo. The visor kept his hair out of his face, making it fluff out of the top of it.

He wore a cobalt blue short-sleeved jacket with baggy beige knee length shorts and a shiny black and blue wetsuit underneath his exterior outfit. She first saw him on the first day of autumn in Nimbasa City when she asked him to fight Ingo and Emmet alongside her. They made a fabulous team!

After their victory, Nate invited her to a tennis match he won two tickets for in the lottery of the Join Avenue. During their time together, they told each other their plans for the future. Nate had been eager to travel all around Unova, collecting the eight batches of the pokemon league. He told her that he started his journey near the mid of spring. She herself left her home, Floccesy Town, two weeks after Christmas, but she spent more time admiring the great cities than the boy from Aspertia City did.

While Rosa told him a stranger whose Xtransceiver she found wanted to meet her at the Marvelous Bridge, Nate couldn't wait to challenge the Nimbasa City gym. When they parted ways after he escorted her to the western transition house by sundown, she didn't want him to leave, but was way to shy to say anything. When she returned to Nimbasa City to challenge the gym herself, he already moved on.

"So, you are the champion now, Nate.", Rosa thought to herself, guessing about how unreachable he was for her now.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice the plane landing in Lentimas City. The tourists already ran around the airport shooting photos when she noticed they reached their destination. Skyla waited for her at the exit and left together with the girl.

"What took you so long? Were you sleeping during the flight?", the gym leader asked the girl who defeated her about a week ago.

"No, I was just thinking of someone.", Rosa quickly apologized.

"Well, tell me about it.", Skyla requested.

The girl blushed and wanted to refuse, but she knew Skyla well enough to remember she always gets people to spell out what she wants to hear.

"I just saw a report about an old crush of mine.", she explained, hoping she wouldn't have to tell her more, but at this point she disappointed her.

"You're not talking about the boy who just defeated Iris, are you?", she inquired giggling, remembering his impressive appearance at her gym a half year ago.

"We spent a day together in Nimbasa City, but in the evening I didn't have the courage to tell him anything.", she continued.

"And that's all?", Skyla questioned curious.

"He once sent me a Greet Mail with a Wingull, but since he didn't react to my answer, I'm not even sure he received it.", the girl remembered herself. "What if the Wingull got lost and he hates me for not answering?", she suddenly panicked.

"Hey, keep calm!", the gym leader stopped her in her way when they almost reached the pokemon center. Lentimas City was quite small...

"Skyla, even if he got my message, why would he care about me? A boy with his talent and fame could surely have anyone!", Rosa wondered near the tears. She was surprised by this herself: They spent just one day together, and still she couldn't remember caring about anyone like this before.

"Don't just think about who he is, but about who you are!", Skyla advised. "Even thought you don't feel too comfortable about it, Elesa made you a model. You're famous as well. The crowd loved you!", she brought the thoughts of the day of Rosa's battle with the Nimbasa City gym leader back to her mind.

"How do you know...", the girl wanted to ask, but she was interrupted.

"Elesa and me are good friends. She told me about your appearance in her gym... about your talent."

"So, what do you think should I do?", Rosa finally asked. Skyla grinned happily at the question, helping her working out a plan to get back together with the new champ before she flew back to Mistralton City while the girl headed towards Undella Town.
