Summary:
Chloe's Meowscarada is famous. Or not. Depends who you ask.
"I hear Meowscarada used Flower Trick to plant flower bombs in the road to stop that runaway car in Olivine City!"
"Where'd you hear that?"
"It was on TV! They were interviewing Officer Jenny!"
"That's nothing! I heard Meowscarada and Blaziken Mask's Mega Blaziken protected a bunch of people during a lightning storm caused by Zapdos in Lumiose City!"
"How do you know it's the same Meowscarada? They could be two different Meowscarada!"
"This Meowscarada has a star shape on the fur around her eye and not the normal diamond! At least, that's according to my pen pal!"
"Your pen pal's fibbing! Isn't he the one who says his house is haunted by a Haunter?"
"His house is haunted! He mailed me a photo of it in his attic with his last letter!"
"Do Ghost-type Pokémon even show up on camera?"
"I don't think they do…"
"Mystery solved! Your pen pal's a liar!"
"But they do show up on camera! Didn't anyone here watch the Masters Eight Tournament? Ash's Gengar? Cynthia's Spiritomb?"
"She's got us there."
"I forgot."
"I hear she's Chloe's," Yeardley interjected, eating a Poffin.
"What?"
"The Meowscarada is Chloe's?"
Chloe jolted up as if a Joltik had bit her in the neck. Something she had to verify with her hand since Yeardley did own a Joltik that had a habit of deserting its Poké Ball and creeping about the classroom. More than once, their teacher had to pause her lesson and instruct Yeardley to take Joltik to the Pokémon Garden.
"Woah, can I meet her?"
"I can't believe you've been keeping this a secret from us!"
"E-everyone, Yeardley's making it up!" Chloe extinguished the rumours.
"So she's not your Meowscarada?"
"M-Meowscarada's my Pokémon, but there's no way she's that Meowscarada! What would mine be doing in Johto and Kalos? We're in Kanto!"
"It would've been cool to meet her!"
"Can we see your Meowscarada anyway, Chloe?"
"Yeah, can we, can we?"
Yeardley wasn't on the whole successful subduing his laugh.
"She…She isn't with me! She's at home!"
"Aww!" The gossips dispersed from around her desk.
"I shouldn't have lent her to Goh," Chloe sighed. "He's parading her all over."
"The runaway car?" Yeardley chomped on the Poffins behind her.
"Team Rocket."
"Zapdos?"
"Goh provoked it."
Crunchcrunchcrunch.
"Why are you eating those? They're for Pokémon."
"They're just Berries and batter, Chloe."
