40. Chapter 40

Authors Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. Hey everyone another update and another chapter down. I unintentionally made this chapter a little too long for my liking, but I had a blast writing it, making the interactions entertaining and fun, made Eevee a little to adorable in this chapter. All the while adding some things here and there with Leaf and Robert, along with showing off and usually a very hard subject to tackle and dweifnitely hard to respect for and that is showing Leaf having a little bit of anxiety in this chapter. Not delving too deep into it, but figured to show despite what happened to the...well canceled chapter of Nightmare tower. It has left quite the scars and trauma to these two, despite how much their doing their best not to relive the events.

I also changed the episode around to work differently than the original and...will be honest, I forgotten how much I did not like Melvin in the March of the Exeggutor squard episode...especially how he even roped Misty into helping him and such considering well, her being 11 years old and such lol. Granted, different time and culture.

Anyway I also had a blast writing Cinderace here as well, so without further adiu and this being about 41 pages long...again did not meant or intended it to be long lol. I hope you all enjoy and have fun reading. We're forty chapters in, never thought I reach the big 4-0 in any of my stories Naruto came close but yeah. As I am pushing things forward and wanting things to quickly get a move on and getting to the Pokemon league, there isn't a lot of chapters left to go over until the leage comes. My best estimated guess this story might stop at chapter 50 or 53. As I still need Ash to catch two more Pokemon, before fully having him back to Pallet town and face off Viridian's gym, then the Pokemon league.

So yeah, hope you all have fun and enjoy the chapter. As the next one will be Ash finally discovering the truth about the Children of Pokemon and speak with his girls on the cruise to Cinnabar island next. ENJOY!

"That's it I had enough!" A female voice shouted, on this very early morning day within the region of Kanto, surrounded by multiple attractions, rides, stalls, food stalls, entertainment stalls and the likes as the carnival arrived on this particular week within the distance of Fuchsia city and Cycling road. As a Magic tent top banners and flags could be seen peg down into the ground and keep the circus top up and running, while keeping it steady and held down from being blown from the winds. Near the back of the circus top a beautiful young woman came stomping out of the tent and throwing the tarps of the entry way apart.

"This is the last time I am working with an asshole like that in my life!" She shouted and approached a manager who came rushing over to the scene and figured out what the problem was. But nearly stepped back when the woman got in his face, "IF you think I will work with a sleaze ball like him, you're mistaken. I get better treatment at Pokestudios in Unova then I do with this…This asinine work hours and pay here! Find yourself a new bitch to work with, cause this one is leaving!" She shouted and then threw off the magician outfit she was wearing and got back into her traveling clothes when doing so. "Altaria come on out, time to head towards the airport and return to Unova!" She called out and released her Pokemon and began flying away.

"Wait, wait the carnival is about to start in a few hours we can't have a magic show without an-." The manager tried to explain and then yelps out as he got hit by slippers that the woman took off and threw at him, follow by flipping him off and disappearing within the sky as he recovers and then huffed and felt his face turning red in anger and sounds of steam could be hear building up as his face slowly grows red and then shouts loudly. "MELVIN!" And then whips around to the tent and begins stomping his way over to it. Alerting the workers and staff of the carnival who were preparing things and getting everything set up. Began snickering and laughing, whispering among themselves of how Melvin screwed up yet again and had caused another assistant to go running off and quitting on the job.

"Who did the asshole, anger this time?" One of the workers said as they were guiding and directing some Machamp and Machoke around- alongside some Hariyama and some Throh and Sawk who were carrying equipment with them and placing them down as they're being directed.

"Some superstar model from Pokestar studios from Unova. Honestly I don't know why that idiot bothered trying to be a magician. Healways messes things up and whenever he does mess up. It always injures the assistant and their Pokemon. Magically not him." Another worker said and tossed some nails into a pile, with a Klefky happily jiggling about and using it's psychic powers to jiggle the nails about inside the toolbox. "Honestly, he should just give the fuck up and move on to being a ticket salesman than some magician."

"Tell me about it," A female worker said as she was dusting and wiping off some of the food stalls. Wearing an exaggerated looking leotard suit, with Dodrio like feathers hanging off from the upper back of the suit and flowing transparent frills from the waist. "I think this is like the tenth female assistant he had this week, and already they are quitting within two to three hours." She said and then turned to the group. "Whatever trick he's trying to pull off or purposely trying to do. He seriously needs to rethink his tactics and just give up, Melvin the great..more like Melvin the dork." She cackled out and had everyone else laughing too as they continued working and hearing their boss and owner of the carnival shouting and screaming to Melvin.

"Yeah or he makes stupid excuses like that one time where he thinks a Cinderace is the cause and problems of why his magic tricks keep messing up." Another worker said, alerting said Pokemon who had snuck their way inside one of the peanut food stalls and happily ate the peanuts and gorging themselves in a victory feast. Before it;s right white rabbit ear twitched upward, having the Pokemon hum and look around the peanut stall and listening in to the conversation.

"The loser is still making up that excuse?" A juggler asked and shook their head. "Sure, blame it on a Pokemon who has no idea what a magic show is or what kind of tricks he's pulling." The man said and then guided Mr Mime around to help with finishing touches. "What I heard and it's just been rumors, but probably not considering I keep over hearing Melvin speaking out loud to himself when nobody's looking. That- he is trying to perfect his Exeggute Pokemon's Hypnosis attack. In order to hypnotize and command his assistants into doing things." He said, having the Cinerace who gulped down a couple more peanuts, stood up and dusted the shells away and lightly and tentatively grabbed the edges of the peanut stall and blink their red eyes, completely interested in the conversation now.

"Hypnosis? He's still going on with that and if so, you know what and why he wants to hypnotize his assistants?" One of them asked as they all were beginning to finish up and get the carnival ready for opening hours as everyone was about ready and set to open up.

"I don't know but whatever it is, the guy is completely nuts into thinking anyone will willingly allow themselves to be hypnotize and follow that pathetic excuse for a magician's commands." They all then began laughing and chuckling towards one another as they got done preparing and started heading out. "Whatever…he keeps muttering out about getting revenge or something, and something about Exeggutor being nearby. Whatever he says sounds insane and we shouldn't take him too seriously." The Juggler finishes up and has Cinderace who was listening.

Waited till they were completely gone and came out from her hiding spot, blinking her red eyes while adjusting her red and yellow looking fur/pants from her legs and wiping away some of the peanut crumbs from her lips and letting out a low, "Cinder…" She then turn to face the large tent and saw the Manager coming out from inside fuming and muttering under his breath. Having the Cinderace to quickly hop on over towards the entrance of the tent, waiting for when he completely leaves and swiftly enters inside the tent and leaps and crawls underneath some chairs and seats of the stands. Wiggling herself about and down the stands, her white ears folding completely against her head as she reached the bottom of the stands and where the stage was.

Cinderace slowly lifted her head to the edge of the stage and peek over it, then wiggled her ears as she could hear Melvin speaking to himself, the short and stubby looking man, wearing a magician outfit with a black top and everything. Looking a little rounded and fat, he threw a slight tantrum as he threw some of the magic items within a box and had it crash against the floor and walls. Causing Cinderace to flinch and shake lightly from the noises but made sure to keep her cool and listen in on the man. Smiling to herself- why was she smiling? Cinderace is smiling because she rescued that supermodel from whatever tricks or plans Melvin had instored for her- especially when the female rabbit overheard him saying how her Altaria Pokemon. Could be proven useful in getting revenge with his coworkers and saying how, the Altaria could be very useful in catching Exeggutor.

"Damn that fucking Cinderace, I knew should've gotten rid of that Pokemon when it first discovered our carnival. But no." The hefty man said and kicked a stool and used his foot to drag it over to himself and sat down. Watching his Pokemon Exeggcute hopping over and leaping onto the desk next to him. "I had to be noble and let the Pokemon do whatever she wanted and freely." He growled out and threw his wand onto the desk. "If I knew she was going to cause trouble for me, I should've taken action…or at least caught the damn bastard of a Pokemon." He muttered, making Cinderace grunt and glare harshly at him. For calling her a bastard, when in fact Cinderace is a 'she' not a 'he'.

The brown short and messy hair man then leaned against his hand while resting his elbow onto the desk. "Sigh why bother, right now I have no way of reaching the Exeggutor nesting grounds. No offense to you Exeggute, but considering their part Psychic- your psychic moves won't work on them, let alone grass type moves as well. Even your powder moves won't work since their grass typing makes them immune." He said and saw his partner[s] wiggling abot and chanting out towards him. Letting him know that it is quite alright, they could always find another person or possibly somebody else that isn't famous.

This had Cinderace humming to herself and leering her eyes as she listens to Melvin intently and seeing the man smiling to his Pokemon. Who was telling him how instead of getting someone famous, they should go and probably pick out a wandering unexpected trainer instead. One who is super strong and has a Pokemon team who can easily handle the Exeggutor and letting him be able to catch them for his revenge plot. "You are right, Exeggute, if I want to get revenge on these hacks and pathetic people who doesn't appreciate magic like you do. I should probably find a Pokemon trainer instead." He said and stood up from his seat and pumped his arms.

"And what wandering Pokemon trainer wouldn't want to be part of a magic show or being my assistant!" Melvin then turned his eyes towards Exeggute. "Come on, let's go and put up some flyers at the entrance of the carnival. I bet we will get a gullible trainer to attend my magic show and become my assistant. While then we can go and use Hypnosis on the trainer, but…we should probably also find a way that they shouldn't also escape either." He mused out, this having Cinderace widening her eyes and lifting her ears upwards!

Disbelief the man is still going to try and force someone into doing his bidding! Cinderace waited for when Melvin wasn't looking in the audience seats direction and began making a mad dash out of the stage and out into the bustling and busy Carnival, as everyone had started opening up and began welcoming customers from all over to come and enjoy their carnival. As Cinderace was making sure to be discreet and not get caught by any potential trainers that will try and throw their Pokeballs at her, as she is skillfully ducking, weaving and sliding under and out of the tarps and carpets of the rides, food stalls and merchandising as she was going to try and find where Officer Jenny will be at- considering most of this bustling places do have security. She just hopes that whenever Melvin does place those help wanted flyers at the entrance, nobody gets tricked and be brought to his magic show tent and be forced to do whatever revenge plot he has in store. "Cinderace, ace!" She cried out in worry as she told herself, and prayed she wouldn't be too late when finding officer Jenny.

Unaware that today will be a day nobody will ever forget but also meeting two special trainers as well!

Chapter 40: Magic Ace To A Cinderace!

Xxx

"Hey Robert look!" A female voice shouted and exclaimed as it belonged to Leaf! Who ran a couple distance forward on the yellow dirt road they were following. Holding onto her white sun hat as her brown hair flows within the wind, as her red skirt also blew and whipped about as she reached the top of the hill with her sleeveless blue shirt. Green eyes staring wondrous at the sight before her, hearing her friend and lover Robert huffing and panting lightly as he is struggling to get to the top of the hill.

"Leaf, much I keep reminding you that we've been walking all day and without any rest. I am tired and exhausted, we haven't stopped ever since we got done with breakfast." The blue-haired teenager exclaimed as his buddy Eevee. Who too in the same state of him managed to reach the top of the hill, then plopped himself down onto the ground, limbs spread out and groaning lightly. "But what is…" Robert began saying and hung against his knees. Before lifting himself up and adjusting his orange shirt and Pokemon league hat- that his green eyes blink and widen at the sight before them. "OH! Wow, now that is a sight to behold! A Carnival!" He exclaimed having Eevee to hum and hop onto his feet and tilt his head, then smiled brightly at the carnival before them.

"Heh!" Leaf smiled and then looked at him with excitement in her eyes. "I told you the Carnival was nearby! Once I saw the flyers back at Fuchsia city, I knew we had to get here as quickly as possible." Then proudly crosses her arms under her breasts then lifting one finger up. "I figured this will be a nice surprise for us both. Considering we have been traveling a lot lately and fighting Gym battles and the likes, I thought why not take a nice small break before we reach Fuchsia city shipping docks that's about three days travel from there and cycling road."

Robert chuckled and looked at Leaf, "I can see why. Granted," He then laughed softly and looked to the side. "Granted, going to the fossil digging site would've been nice. But considering how it would probably end before we got there."

"And the high temperatures." Leaf quickly added with a knowing smile, getting Robert to shake his head and shaking his shoulders softly.

"And the high temperatures, it would've been difficult to find anything with so many people around. As well the heat beating down on us, will make it hard to breathe too." The blue=haired teen said and then laughed as he felt Eevee hopping onto his left arm and climbing all the way to the top of his shoulder. "What do you say, Eevee? Want to have fun at the Carnival?" Robert asked and watched Eevee happily swaying his tail rapidly and nodding his head as they then looked at Leaf who beamed brightly and proudly placed her hands onto her hips.

"Cool! We can go on all sorts of rides," She then goes moving and swinging her arms about. I heard, can be extremely fast and speedy." Then bringing her arms outwards and twirling in place with giddiness. "And twirling rides that you can manually spin as fast as you can, to a point that it can make you feel so dizzy and green. That you are puking and throwing up your lunch!" Then throwing her arms upwards and jumping up and then down, crouching all the way down to the ground. "Even rides that go extremely high up into the air and then just drop you down with such incredible speed that you feel like your stomach is going into your chest!" She giggled out and stood up.

This had Robert palling lightly at all the rides she just mentioned and wanting to try. Making the boy feel already sick to his stomach, "I…don't have to go on most of them right?" He asked and then laughed when Leaf shook her head, while winking. "Good, cause I don't think I will handle the…more extreme rides. Especially one that goes very high up into the air." Robert said and sighed as Leaf softened her expression and nodded. Understanding that he has a fear of heights. "But the others I will definitely try, though. I might have to put Eevee in his ball." In which Eevee humming and then lowering his brows wondering why that is.

"Well Eevee, besides the twirling rides that probably have seat belts. The others may not be good for Pokemon of your height." Leaf then hummed. "Well, probably if we hold onto you tightly you could? But, we shouldn't risk you accidentally fall out of the rides ya know!" The brown hair girl giggled and saw eevee palling and then chuckling nervously as he understood now. "But no worries, we can have you on safer rides. We won't let you miss out on anything!" She then out of excitement goes and grabs Robert's hand and had him yelping out, with Eevee squeaking out as he suddenly fell off his shoulder. "Come on Robert, Eevee let's go! Before the day goes by in a flash!" Leaf exclaimed and started dragging the boy and running down the hilltop with him, with Eevee quickly recovering and running right after them towards the entrance of the carnival!

Once they have entered and reached the entrance of the Carnival. Leaf, Robert and eevee will be in awe and star struck at the many different attractions, rides, food stalls and entertainment everywhere. Along with tons of people just out right having a blast and dancing about and partying out in the open. Having the two teens to smile and walk along the carnival, enjoying the many sounds and noises echoing throughout the entirety of the place. Robert, made sure to scoop Eevee into his arms and held him around his stomach area as they walked further into the carnival.

Balloons could be seen flying up into the sky, with some of them being Drifloon and Drifbloom- with some carrying children up into the air and then bringing them back down to the ground as the kids laugh and giggle about as they tug and bounced happily against the ground while holding onto the Ghost/Flying type Pokemon's strings.

Fire type Pokemon can be seen with some chefs and cooks who were doing open grilling and cooking food for everyone, as the fire types would use their flamethrower or ember attacks to heat up the stove and get the charcoal burning. To then happily eye smiling and munching down on the snacks they get from their owners. It was definitely a festive place as Leaf giggled and smiled, taking in everything and feeling slightly overwhelmed with over-sensitivity as she tug her arms close and threw both of them into the air shouting. "GOSH I LOVE PLACES LIKE THESE!"

She then turned to Robert and watched the boy adjusting his hat, while smiling towards the girl and leaning back when she got really close to him. "Man, what should we do first?! Eat some cotton candy till our stomach bursts or puke them up!" Then swings her arm towards the right, "or try out the grilled food stalls they have, and even try out their delicious looking ribs and cheeseburgers." Then threw her arm towards the right. "Or should we go and try out the incredible rides they have around here and then go and get something to eat!" Then ready to swing her arm again, only for Robert to grab it and stop her from swinging it any more than she needed too.

"Easy Leaf, Easy- we don't want you getting dizzy and stir crazy with excitement." Robert joked and let go of her arm and watched her playfully stick her tongue out. "Let's try and take it easy, okay? Like I said earlier, we have been walking non-stop and haven't taken a single break. So, maybe we could try and take it easy for now and rest our legs?"

This had Leaf chuckling while then reaching over and petting Eevee on the ears, watching the Pokemon purr and push against her hand and fingers. "I know, but everything is so exciting, I don't want us to miss anything!" She giggled out and then placed her hands onto her hips and smiled brightly, pushing her chest outward and showing off her semi-petit frame yet curvaceous figure.

"Not everyday you get to see a carnival let alone enjoy one." Leaf said while then looking down towards the grassy ground and sighed. "I mean…we had one chance too when we were younger. But, I got badly ill and sick when the school was planning a trip to the Celedon festival party. That I couldn't go at all." She said and lightly grabbed her forearm and saw Robert nodding.

"I remember, I purposely pretended to be sick that day too. So that you wouldn't feel alone and left out." Robert said and laughed when she looked at him with a sweet smile. "Course, it took A LOT to convince my mom to let me be there for ya. I thought she would've blown a fuse if I were to miss school one more day."

"Heh, I do appreciate it though- none of my friends would've done that for me back then. Until you moved into Pallet town and well," Then blushed and cutely tilted her head sideways. "You really showed me what a true friend is, and that includes becoming my lover too!" She giggled out at the last part, as Eevee happily yips and wags his tail in giddiness enjoying the two's happy presence and loving presence too. "SO!" Leaf then clapped her hands and began looking around. "Since we should give our legs a break, how about we find some sort of show or attraction they might be." Right before they could move or take a step a white and red blur came rushing out from under some tarps the duo couldn't see as Leaf's eyes widened and then yelped out along with another person or being yelping two and sent the two onto the ground.

"Whoa, you alright?" Robert asked and had Eevee jumping down and the boy approached Leaf and helped her up by the arms and back.

"Yeah I am fine, who hit me?" Leaf asked and then both of them looked forward and let out low gasps at the sight of who bumped into Leaf. "Wait, is that a Cinderace?!" Leaf exclaimed with a wide smile and quickly and fumbling about with her duffle-bag, and pulled out her Pokedex as the Cinderace shook her head and then blink her red eyes towards the two.

"Yeah it is a Cinderace, wow. I didn't think one would be in Kanto?" Robert added and then saw Cinderace hopping onto her feet and began dusting herself off while muttering and chanting out apologies towards the two as Robert laughed. "No…need to apologize, but why are you in a rush little one?" Robert asked and then heard Leaf's Pokedex go off as she finally found it and aimed it at the Pokemon.

"Cinderace the Striker Pokemon: It juggles a pebble with its feet, turning it into a soccer ball. It strikes its opponent hard leaving them scorched. Its skills are good in offense and defense, and it gets pumped when being cheered on. But if it starts showboating it can get itself in a predicament."

Leaf then hops up and ready to grab a Pokeball but stops midway, "Oh wait…I already have a fire type with me." She suddenly said and giggled sheepishly. "Be redundant to getting another fire type and be open to ground, rock and water type weakness." She said and then looked at the Cinderace. "But like Robert said, what's the rush? You alright?" She asked as she and Robert leaned close and tried to listen to Cinderace, who began chanting and swinging her arms and chatting towards them. Trying to relay that there was danger and that Pokemon trainers are going to be in trouble if they don't leave!

Though Cinderace paused midway through her warnings and felt her white ears flopping behind her head and realized exactly who she was talking to! In which the goofy rabbit eyes turned into red dots and then lifted a paw and pointed at Robert, "Cinder?" She asked as if wondering if he's a trainer which he raised a confused brow and nodded, while then she moved that same paw over towards Leaf, "Ace?" Asking the same thing and had Leaf nodding and the two teens lean up and then saw Cinderace blinking her eyes at the two of them. While then looking towards Eevee, who hummed and then stepped back when Cinderace got close and knelt down too the Pokemon.

"Cinder ace! Ace, ace, Cinder!" She began saying and moving her arms about and detailing out to the Pokemon and warning him, to also warn his trainers. "Cidnerace," Cinderace then goes wiggling her fingers as if spraying magic dust. "Cinder, cinder!" Then moved her hands above her head as if to mention someone with a top hat. While lifting it off her head and then pretending to hold it and closing her eyes. "Cinderace, ace, ACE!" then spun her other paw around as if tapping a magic wand and then did an explosion motion with her paws. "Cinderace, ACE!"

Leaf hummed and tilted her head while crossing her arms under her breasts and looked at Robert. "Have any clue what she just said to Eevee?" She asked and saw Robert hummed while pursing his lips to the side. While then rubbing his chin and seeing Eevee's head rolling about as Cinderace continued explaining to the normal type of what is about to happen, only to then start getting dizzy when Cinderace began running around circles of the Pokemon and did a mountain like formation with both arms and then brought her paws close to her mouth and now seemingly trying to imitate a person or Pokemon?

"All I got from the motions is a top hat and…possibly magic?" Robert said and saw Leaf looking at him and wondering how he figured that out. In which the teen turned to her and did the sprinkle like motion with his fingers. "I mean, what else will this motion do?" He said and had her shrugging and muttering how it could mean salt or flour, which had Robert blinking his eyes. "Good point…" though they jumped back when Cinderace heard Robert say magic and literally threw her paw forward and rapidly nodded her head. "Magic…someone who does Magic?" HE asked and Cinderace squealed out and began jumping in place, rapidly nodding her head at Robert. "So…A magic show you are trying to warn us about?"

"CINDERACE!" Cinderace squealed again and began wiggling her rabbit tail while smiling up at Robert. Amazed that someone was able to get what she was saying, as she had been spending a lot of time trying to relay information to some of the officer Jenny in the area. But…they couldn't make heads or tails of what she was saying or relaying to them. "Ace, Cinderace!" The rabbit then got close and grabbed Robert's hand and tried pulling and tugging him. "Ace, Cinderace, ace, cinderrrr!" She growled out and groaned as she tried pulling and drag Robert to Officer Jenny, but he wouldn't budge…that and she couldn't really move him exactly.

"Hmm, guess she wants to take us somewhere?" Leaf thought and then hummed and saw something stuck to Cinderace back as she tried desperately to pull Robert. "Hey what's this?" Leaf suddenly said and reaches out and grabs what look to be a flier stuck to the Pokemon back and lightly peel's it off from her, causing Cinderace to shiver out and moan from the weird sensation and staggered forward before quickly tilting and twisting her body in order to see what the tall girl peeled off from her, while then began scratching her back and fully turns around and faces Leaf and Robert.

Robert leans close and felt Eevee jumping up onto his shoulders as they look at the flier. "Melvin the great is looking for assistance with his magic show, if any skilled Pokemon trainers are in the vicinity I welcome you greatly to come and become part of my magic show, alongside my Pokemon Exeggute. We are performing at a blue and red circus top deep within the carnival and center. All trainers are welcome to become part of the show and live the life of fame." Leaf read out loud and then her and Robert look to Cinderace who let out a loud growl of discomfort and began flailing her arms about, to then doing the motions all over again.

The two teens hummed and look to one another as Robert shrugged his shoulders, as thye look back at her. "You think she's trying to say whoever this Melvin person is, is what could spell trouble?" Leaf asked and saw Cinderace gasping and then rapidly nodding her head up and down. "Hmm…" Then Leaf smiled and said, "Well then we'll just have to investigate then!" She giggled out and saw Cinderace turn completely gray and stone-like. Leaf then turned to Robert, "Plus it would be a good way for us to rest our legs and see a magic show too."

"True," Robert said and then grunted as he felt Cinderace stomping over to the back of his leg and began elbow tackling his legs and then placing both paws against them. Trying to push and shove him towards an officer Jenny. "Although, this seems to be really upsetting Cinderace a lot?" Robert said and then yelped as he almost lost his balance and began walking forward- or in this case, being forced to walk forward as Cinderace rumbles and growls out how she is not going to let him or Leaf, be tricked by the man's false advertisement!

"Heh I guess Cinderace doesn't want us to go." Leaf said and tried to figure out where she was trying to guide them, in which the brown-haired girl lifted her head up and followed the direction Cinderace wanted them to go too. "I guess she wants us to go and see Officer Jenny and warn her about Melvin?" Leaf giggled out and went ahead and started walking, while Robert. Who placed a hand on Cinderace head and had her chirping lightly, then giggling when he rubbed her head and told her how he is going to move, so she wouldn't fall and then watch her take his hands and began eagerly moving forward again and with haste- as he, Eevee and Leaf walked, squeezed and tilt their way between the large crowd of people and their children or Pokemon, slowly reaching towards Officer Jenny.

Who was happily sipping on some lemonade and taking a small break from her job. "Hm?" She hummed and blinked her eyes as she saw a Cinderace dragging a young man and possibly his friend or girlfriend over and stopping right in front of her. "Oh, I didn't know Cinderace had a trainer? Did she bring you over here for something?" She asked and smiled, although blinked her eyes when Cinderace shook her head and crossed her arms in an 'x' formation. Letting her know that these two aren't her trainers. "Oh, okay…um, still can I help you guys with something?" Jenny asked and sheepishly chuckled as the teens were about to speak, but Cinderace interrupted and began rapidly going over what she told Robert and Leaf to Jenny, who just shook her head lightly not sure how to understand the rabbit.

Leaf was the first to speak and grabbed the flier from her underarm. "Yeah, Cinderace seems really upset about something and trying to warn us about a man from this magic show." She then hands over the flier to Jenny and continues saying. "We don't know what has upset her, but she doesn't seem to want us to go there at all."

Robert spoke next and saw Cinderace pouting and crossing her arms in annoyance. "All we know is that she says it's dangerous…but either way. We can't really understand the rest of her meanings." He then looks to Eevee. "Did you get any of what she said Eevee, she was discussing it towards you."

"Evoi, erek." Eevee chanted out as he wasn't sure himself, but rubbed the back of his head with his paw. "Evoi, eevee..voi." Saying softly how he only got a clue about hypnosis and using trainers. But since humans can't understand Pokemon, it was hard for Eevee to relay the message to Robert or Leaf. Despite how good they are at interpreting their Pokemon body language and such, you can only go so far telling your trainer what's happening.

Jenny hummed and looked over the flier and then towards the pouting Cinderace, who then collapsed onto the floor when Jenny said. "Well, I don't know anything bad or criminal about Melvin. Besides him constantly losing assistants and them saying how he is really hard to work with." She said and then smiled. "But he is a good honest man really, there's nothing dangerous about him at all." Then look up in thought. "Maybe some of his magic tricks maybe…but overall he is a pretty timid and kind hearted person. I wouldn't really be worried about anything." Jenny said and then jumped when Cinderace let out a screech of annoyance and grabbed the flier form her and jabbed rapidly at Melvin.

"CINDERACE!" Then throw the paper about, "Ace, cinder, Hinder, Cinder ace, ace, acccccce!" Then screeched the last part out while thrusting both arms down and began panting and breathing heavily annoyed and frustrated that nobody is taking her seriously. Making the trio sweatdrop lightly and chuckle nervously as Cinderace seems to be really serious about this guy.

"Well-well…Cinderace believes him to be a troublemaker, considering how passionate she is about it." Leaf chuckled lightly and then relaxed. "Pokemon aren't known to lie either, so…maybe we should be at least careful." She added and then leaned down to Cinderace eye level, having her hair slide down her shoulders and arms. "Will that be alright Cinderace? Robert and I being mindful and careful with Melvin?"

This had Cinderace look to her and then towards Robert who smiled back and said. "If we spot any trouble, we will immediately reach Jenny and tell her what's going on." He said and assured her, as Cinderace hummed and lowered her eyelids halfway and then shifted her gaze at Jenny who smiled.

"No worries, I will be sure to be out in the open for these kids. Just in case there is trouble coming from Melvin." She then raised a hand. "On my honor as Police officer, I will be sure nothing terrible happens to the people here in the carnival!"

Cinderace hummed and then lightly placed her paw against her chin and then sighed. "Cinderace." She groaned and then laughed and smiled a sLeaf hugged her and rubbed her head, making Cidnerace to weakly slap at her and giggled out.

"Thanks Cinderace, and no worries. We will be extra careful." Leaf told her and then saw the rabbit nodding and began hopping away and darting very fast, disappearing into the crowds and such. "I never seen such a protective Pokemon before in my life, especially a wild one at that." Leaf giggled out and then proudly pats her hand against Robert's chest. "You should probably catch her if we meet up with her again. A Pokemon like that will be good for your rowdy group!" Leaf teased out and wink towards the blue hair teen who deadpanned.

"Ha, ha, ha- very funny." He then crossed his arms and had Leaf sweat dropping and going pale lightly. "Says the one who lets her Pokemon wrestle one another and throw tantrums here and there, whenever they don't get their way?"

This had Leaf chuckling lightly while then looking away briefly and scratching the side of her face cheek. Jenny laughed and spoke up, "Looks like you two get along quite well. Anyway, like I said and promised to Cinderace. If you happen to go and visit Melvin's magic tent and are thinking of becoming his assistant for a day, please don't hesitate to come and find me in case there is trouble." She then grabbed a spare walkie-talkie and approached Robert. "Here you go, use this in case something does happen. I will be on channel four." She then waved towards the teens and headed off.

Leaf and Robert and Eevee waved her off, the boy placing the walkie-talkie into his bag and then looking towards Leaf. "Well now that is settled and everything seems to be alright for now. Shall we go and enjoy some rides and get some food?" He asked and then laughed as LEaf looked at him and smirked.

"What happened to relaxing and recovering our strength hm?" She teased and saw Robert shrugging while then laughing as she just stepped closed and kissed him on the lips and smiled. "You know you don't have to ride the rides with me, you can relax if you want." She giggled while wrapping her arms around his shoulder and neck.

"I know, but since I will be sitting in some of those rides anyway? It's still technically resting." Robert said and lightly patted her back and gently caressed her rear. Which had her snickering and giggling, "Come on let's go, before the lines get really bad." He snicker and felt Leaf pulling away and happily scoop Eevee from his shoulder and wiggled a finger against his stomach and had the brown and white fur Pokemon laughing and giggling, to even thrashing in her arms.

"You bet, come on Eevee! You get to ride with me on the first ride!" Leaf giggled out and began turning around and walking towards the first ride they will go on. While teasingly hopping about to make her skirt hike up enough to show off her firm thick thighs towards Robert, and a little bit of her thong that briefly reveals itself underneath. "Come on Robert, don't want Eevee and I have all the fun!" She laughed and giggled.

Having Robert shaking his head and rolling his eyes upwards as he quickly follows behind Leaf. When doing so and running past a few food stalls and tent tops, he hummed and came to a sliding stop and facing out towards what looked like a dense and thick forest out in the distance. While then blinking his eyes and tilting his head, thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him and could've sworn the forest was moving? "Robert, come on!" Leaf shouted and had him looking towards her direction and back to the forest.

"Yeah, give me a sec." Robert shouted and then dug into his pocket and pulled out the Pokedex and aimed it towards the forest. "Just…curious if I am seeing a Pokemon or not?"

As he slowly scanned the forest, he noticed the Pokedex wasn't going off at all and then just closed it and hummed. "Guess it was just the wind," he said and began running towards Leaf and Eevee as the forest he was looking at. Began standing up and moving about slightly and then coming to a stop and resting back down onto the ground. Unaware that this forest houses the very Pokemon that will cause quite the ruckus later on.

They were having a blast at the carnival as Leaf, Robert and Eevee went and headed to some of the rides that allow Pokemon to ride on them. One ride was that with lots of swings hanging by chains connected to a machine that was in the middle, allowing up to about 30 to 40 people to ride on them and spin around in a safe distance and height so that nobody will fall off or accidentally hit people walking by. With Eevee happily seated and nestled on Leaf's lap as they were smiling and laughing, along with Robert right behind them also enjoying the ride. But also trying to not get sick or dizzy from the ride but he was enjoying it as he, Leaf and Eevee felt the wind blowing against their faces and hair and just having a great time.

The next ride they went too after recovering and getting their footing. Leaf guided Robert and his Pokemon over towards the tea cup rides, where you are able to spin the teacup as fast as you want it to be. But not to a point where it will break off of course. Once they got the tickets and showed their passes for the operator of the ride, Leaf, Robert and Eevee went and sat onto a blue tea cup, while also grabbing their seat belts and buckling tightly. With Eevee between Leaf and Robert, with Leaf grinning towards Robert and even teasingly wiggling her brows. Making Robert blush lightly and then sighed sheepishly, knowing that she was going to make sure that once she starts spinning the cup. He will be feeling and pressing against her body and figured, to even probably teetering and groping the girl.

Once the ride began it was exactly what Leaf prompted and planned to do. As she went ahead and grabbed a hold onto the turn dial and began spinning their teacup in different directions. Having her, Robert and even little Eevee to giggle and laugh wildly at it as their bodies slammed and bopped into one another from the force of the spins. With little Eevee just cackling and having a great time, despite being squished or pressed into either Leaf or his trainer. With Robert and Leaf laughing and chuckling wildly as well, getting Leaf to moan softly once in a while as she felt Robert's forearms and elbows pushing and pressing against her moderate D cup breasts through her shirt. While even purposely throwing herself into him and playfully kissing his cheek whenever they spin and slide across the tea cup. Having quite the blast and a good time, although once they got off the ride and it was over.

The trio were completely dizzy as Eevee's eyes were all swirly eyed and trying hard to keep his footing. Laughing and giggling as he tried to walk straight but kept teetering to the right, and then teetering to the left. Where he accidentally bumped into a Espeon who yelped and turned around rapidly to see who it was that bumped into her. Only to have the female Pokemon blue eyes smile as she saw it was a dizzy Eevee, who made sure to apologize towards the Pokemon. But shivered and froze when the Espeon licked his cheek and then used her psychic powers to orientate the dizzy Pokemon while swishing her two-prong tail and whispering to the Pokemon of how cute he was and laughed when Eevee flinched and lowered his ears and then quickly ran back towards Robert, running behind him and pushing against his legs. Making Robert to hum and stare down at Eevee, doing his best not to lose his balance and then look towards the Espeon.

Who just smiled and wagged her tail happily and then yipped up to her trainer when she called her and ran towards her. This had Leaf giggling, "Seems like Eevee attracted some attention." Giggle and teased the girl, while then raising her hands up in defense when Eevee glared at her and began yipping and barking at her for not joking about that!

"Okay, okay! I come in peace. I remember what happened last time at the Daycare center and that Glaceon incident." Leaf said and knelt down to pet Eevee on the head and watched the Pokemon pouting and turning his head away from her. "Aww, you know what you need? Cotton candy!" She giggled out and hopped onto her feet and grabbed Robert. "Come on, we can also get some curly fries and some burgers along with the cotton candy!" She gleed out and began pulling Robert who yelped and grabbed onto his hat so it wouldn't go flying off. While Eevee squeaked and ran after them, saying wait for him as they were being watched and spied on by Cinderace in the distance.

The rabbit is a little worried for the two of them and also somewhat intrigued by them too. Considering that they both seem to be the only trainers here at the carnival? And if Melvin has planned for finding a Pokemon trainer to work with him and used them for his revenge plot. Then she should keep an eye on the two teenagers. Though she couldn't help but blush and laugh at the two antics. Seeing them having a fun time and a blast with each other, to even the brown-haired girl flirting or kissing the blue-haired teen. Look quite fun and enjoyable, especially with his reaction and responses to her. Not only that but they seem like a very happy couple and lovers from the look of things. "Cinder…" She cooed softly while resting a paw against her chin, recalling how the girl said about already having a fire type with her. Has the rabbit turned her red eyes towards Robert and felt her heart racing for some reason?

Actually she got it from the both of them and this sense and familiarity about the two? As if she…knew them somehow, but at the same time she only met them today. Especially a strong sense of calm and tenderness from them both, especially from the boy. Originally thought that trainer's were somewhat untrusted- well…not trusted but always go out of their way to catch Pokemon and have them on their team. In a way her instincts would have or should've told her that these two were a threat. But when she bumped into them and tried relaying what dangers are coming or what Melvin has planned. She was…relaxed, calmed and didn't sense any threats whatsoever from the two of them. Almost like in a strange sense, they were Pokemon?

Cinderace shook her head and followed after the two trainers, figuring to keep an eye on them and making sure that they don't go to that magic show whatsoever. But…knows deep down that she can't exactly control them or tell them what to do or not to do. She's a Pokemon and their humans don't have the same sense of urgency like Pokemon. And considering their teenagers too, no doubt they will be more curious if anything to see a magic show. Who knows she thought to herself while hopping, running and dashing under tarps, carpets and flapping tents fabrics to keep herself from Pokeballs flying at her in case there were other trainers nearby. These two trainers might surprise her and could probably instead of joining the magic show or seeing one, they will be investigating instead. Who knows, one thing for sure she wants to know them a little better and get a good feel for them.

"Hmm so good!" Leaf squealed out as she bit down into her cherry flavor cotton candy, having bits of it on her nose as she munched and chewed happily against the sweet candy. To even eyes smiling down at Eevee on the table and gently moving it closer to the Pokemon, who happily squealed and took a bite of it and purred in delight. "And no way you will be having sugar rush from this Eevee, unlike the soda pop." Leaf taunted out and had Robert shaking his head. As he took a bite out of his burger and some of his fries, retorting back.

"How was I supposed to know Eevee's get hyperactive when drinking soda, especially ones that has sugar in them." Robert said and smiled as Leaf took another bite of her cotton-candy and had more on her nose, as she smiled at him and cutely tilted her head. "Anyway, glad we found a bench to sit on and just relax. My legs are killing me." He groaned and lightly reached down with one hand and rubbed his lap and thighs, ebbing out the sore muscles. "How far are the Fuchsia boating docks by the way?" Robert asked and watched Leaf hummed and then looked up in thought while reaching down into her bag and pulling out a Pokenav device that they were given by a man named Steven near the Safari zone.

Saying how if they have trouble reading the map to go and use this device. As it can track better and show the routes and roads they are in a lot better than a traveling map. The two of them were very grateful as the device was definitely helpful for them as they left Fuchsia city and such. They had no idea where to go next let alone figuring out what the travel map even told them to head towards? As they would either always end up near the route east from Fuchsia city or going back to the bottom of Cycling road west of Fuchsia city. "Hmm," Leaf hummed out while she laughed as Eevee got close to her and rested hsi paws onto her shoulders, and began licking the cotton-candy off from her nose as she read the map. "The docks from what the Pokenav says, are about 20 minutes south from here. Meaning that we can reach there in no time on foot or bicycle." She said and placed the device back.

"Cool, I wonder if we will meet up with Ash again. I would like to know how he is doing and farting on his journey." Robert says and finishes up his burger, while then curling up the wrapper while then getting distracted by a weird looking man in some magician clothing and top hat- walking along the grass behind Leaf. Looking to be hanging up some fliers that they saw earlier near the entrance of the Carnival.

"Same here and curious how gis girls are doing too. I hope he finally managed to get through to Blaziken and get her out of whatever funk she is in." Leaf said slowly whale lowering her brows a bit, too then turning around and faced towards the man Robert is staring at. "Hmm…hey could that be?" She slowly whispered out and felt Eevee getting off her shoulders- and doing his very best to lick the cotton-candy on his nose, but was having a hard time reaching it. Even slightly lifting his head up and down in attempts to reaching it, but no cigar- to even sitting on his hinds legs and began licking and lapping at his nose some more before squeaking out and falling onto his back on the wooden table and huffed lightly and even leering towards the clouds, as he then began moving and shuffling his muzzle to reach the cotton-candy.

"Yeah, the man Cinderace was trying to tell us about with those fliers." Robert said and had the Pokemon in the distance to widen her eyes and panic. Seeing Melvin and his impeccable timing is near and around the two trainers. She lightly bit her nails and prayed the two won't approach him or get involved with him. "Seems like he is placing fliers about and looking for people to be his assistant." Robert continued and slowly ate his fries as Leaf nodded and hummed while pulling the cotton-candy and finishing up whatever was left of it.

"You think what Jenny says is true, and that he is just this timid and shy kind of person and magician?" Leaf asked while turning her head at Robert and then shifting her eyes at Eevee, who is now swapping and swinging his front paws at his nose trying to get the candy off him. Getting irritated and annoyed by it as he kept sneezing too whenever he swiped his paw across his muzzle and wiggled it about looking quite annoyed.

He then smiled when Robert grabbed a napkin and held Eevee in place and wiped the candy off from his nose. While then playfully squeezing his muzzle and shaking Eevee's face making the Pokemon giggle and laugh happily while wagging his tail happily, to then running around in place on the wooden table grateful for Robert's help. "Who knows…but if the man is looking for help? He should probably just call someone from the office and help him out. If what Jenny also said is true, with him constantly getting his assistance, quitting on him and throwing a tantrum. He seems like a person who is also hard to work with and get along with." Robert said and then threw the napkin away to the trash bin nearby, scaring some Combees and fields like Pokemon from it and darted off into the forest.

Leaf nodded and looked back to Melvin who was tripping about and flailing about with the fliers and step ladder he was holding and collapsing onto the ground and having the papers fly everywhere and looking quite miserable and annoyed. Leaf hummed and then looked back at Robert, "Should we see if he is up for something?" She grinned and had Robert look at her, to even Cinderace who was listening in to gasp and ready to growl only to then widen her eyes when Robert then said.

"You thinking what I am thinking?" Robert said and saw her nodding. "Same here, I think Cinderace might be right. I mean-" He then gets up and claps his hands and dusting out his hands and pants. "If he is truly up to something and we want to get evidence. Only way to doing so is joining the magic show and see if he is plotting something?" Then crossed his arms and looked at the man who began scooping up his papers and such, while grunting as people bumped into him and not apologizing towards him. Making Robert and Leaf to lightly frown and feeling sorry for the guy. Even Cinderace was feeling a little sympathetic to the man, but knew he was trouble!

"Kind of feel sorry for the guy myself…" Leaf said and then got up and tossed the cotton-candy stick away and grinned. "But hey it could be fun being part of a magic show!" She says and then poses lightly with a wink. "Who knows I might look pretty sexy and beautiful in those leotard magician outfits!" She laughed and teased out towards Robert. Having him rolling his eyes and shaking his head as he walked around the table and felt Eevee jumping up onto his shoulder and rubbing his cheek against Robert's. "Anyway, the only way to find out for sure if he is plotting something is to help him and his magic show!"

"And I have Jenny's walkie–talkie with me too. So if anything looks off or suspicious, I will give her a call." Robert said and saw leaf nodded as the two went ahead and started approaching Melvin. While Cinderace, dashes under the table they were sitting at and peek through between the bench and purred curiously. Knowing despite the trouble they might be getting into they still are willing to put themselves in harm's way, to figuring out the truth behind Cinderace's claims and such while getting evidence if there is foul play being made with Melvin. The female Pokemon whined lightly and is super concerned now as she wasn't sure what is about to happen. But one thing for sure she will stick to these kids like glue and make sure nothing bad happens. Or at least preventing anything bad from happening to them.

LEaf and Robert approached Melvin and spoke up with Leaf speaking first. "Hey there, you need help?" She asked as the two approached Melvin and knelt down and began helping him out with the papers and tools he had brought with him. The man looked up at them and nodded and thanked them for their kindness.

"Oh thank you very much, it is very hard putting these up. Especially when nobody comes around and helps me with these things." The man said and stood up with the two teenagers, with Robert carefully and aligning the papers in a nested fashion. With Leaf, happily handing over the fliers she picked up towards the man. "Thank you so much you two are very kind." Melvin said and then adjusted his hat and hummed. "Hm?" He then spotted Eevee on Robert's shoulders and then accepting the papers Robert had nested and asked, "are you two by any chance Pokemon trainers?"

"Yup, my name is Leaf Greens and this is my boyfriend Robert Arma. We're currently on a journey to compete in the Pokemon league. We are just one badge away from entering the league." Leaf introduced the two of them and then hummed and grabbed the flier she had earlier from the entrance and pulled it out from her bag. "We saw this flier by the way at the entrance, saying that you will need assistance for your magic show?" She asked and showed the flier and watched Melvin take the paper and look towards the teens. "Is the positioning still open?"

Robert spoke before he could just to double sure and make things not awkward, "We're just asking temporarily considering we're very busy with our travels and figured you might need help for whatever show you are going to have today." Robert then smiled and wrapped his hands behind his neck. "We could help with stage props, placing things or getting everything set up for whatever magic show you will be doing." He said figuring to just go for assistance as in, helping with stage props and stage like things or lighting and the likes.

Lea nodded and smiled at Melvin, "Yeah, Robert and I can happily assist you in those types of things and get you ready for a show." Though Leaf stepped back and felt her hands being grabbed and the two watched the man's eyes bubbling and wobbling with teariness. Making the two sweat dropped and chuckling sheepishly.

"Oh thank you, thank you kind young and selfless trainers. It will mean so much that you will help a man like me, who is currently down in the dumps." He then let go of Leaf's hands and sighed. "And much as I would love to have you two make the props and all, a show wouldn't be much of a show without an actual assistant to help me in my magic show." He then turned towards his Exeggute that hopped over and had Leaf and Robert looking at the Pokemon. "For you see- whenever I have an assistant to help me out with magic tricks. They are always so prune and pompous that they always want to do things their way. And never the tricks or showcases I have in mind, that they want to make fancy and flashy- tricks that are way beyond my skill level."

This had Cinderace glaring and muttering to herself knowing that was bullshit, he is very skilled in the arts and that the tricks the girls he is trying to force on., are always against the idea, afraid for their safety and that he would use Exeggute to try and hypnotize them in order to force them to do it. If she didn't interfere and use a Pyro ball on the grass/psychic type from using hypnosis. Those girls would've been in complete danger and possibly even having their life ended if he wasn't careful with said tricks.

"What tricks were they wanting to do?" Leaf and Robert asked at the same time, while then hardening their gazes as he began listing some of the tricks they wanted to do. In which was a water-escape trick, with them hanging upside down tied and chained with lock chains in which the water tank they're about to be drunk and had Carvannah Pokemon ready to technically attack and kill them. Making Robert and Leaf finding this actually insane let alone, why would any woman would even dare themselves into such dangerous magic? Yeah the Carvannah are trained and tamed Pokemon, they wouldn't actually hurt the assistant. But their rough skin and such will still be a major factor and can cut and hurt the person who touches their rough skin…which is a passive Pokemon ability.

They then heard the other magic trick was body separation where the assistant will step into a magic box and have saws slice through middle and bottom sections of the box and have them move about and open up to reveal the severed head, body and legs all in tack and good. But- again, Leaf and Robert looked more concerned in them and find it a little hard to believe they would even agree to doing THAT as well. Leaf leans back to Robert and whispers. "I now know why Cinderace is saying this guy is trouble. Who the fuck in their right mind, will even agreed to such dangerous magic tricks?!"

"I know, no way in hell I would trust a magician with cutting up or binding me for their magic trick. And he's making himself out to be a victim too." Robert whispered back and the two were in agreement, if they wanted to have evidence. It's probably best if they try and do a simple magic trick and nothing too extreme he might force upon them. "Um, no offense Melvin and…that the assistants you hired are all valid and good. But, I could probably see them not also wanting to do those dangerous tricks if…they were altered in a way that works for you." Robert said slowly, trying hard not to sound like he forced it on them or say his story is fabricated…even though it was.

This has him staring and blinking his eyes while then humming and crossing his arms, in truth he didn't think of those factors at all let alone the dangers behind them. But he knew Robert is just playing devil's advocate here…which is nothing wrong with, but considering how bad of treatments he's been getting let alone, anyone he did call or hired always treats him like garbage and trash. What does the fucker know about doing magic anyway? "Robert is right, if I were your assistant. And very ew at that, I probably would go for more…umm." Leaf began saying while humming and crossed one arm under her breasts and rested an elbow to her open hand. While the free hand lightly taps a finger against her chin, then smiles. "Something like a disappearing act! Those always get the crowds going and wondering how magicians do it!"

"Yeah or maybe simply pulling a Pokemon out of your hat!" Robert added and then smiled when Leaf turned towards him and giggled out.

"Oh I love that trick! Especially when they pull a big Pokemon out of their hats, where you know that is impossible to do!" Then grinned. "Or even a simple hypnosis trick. You have Exeggute right!" She grinned and had him widening his eyes and stared down at the Pokemon. "You could easily do a hypnosis act with you holding a dime hanging from a string. Waving it to the assistant and while the audience is so focused staring at the coin."

"OH! You can use Exeggute to use Hypnosis right behind you and aim it at the person your hypnosis, making it look like you're doing the trick. It is full proof and requires no risks whatsoever!" Robert finished for Leaf as the two smiled at one another, coming up with an incredible magic trick that can definitely be pulled off. Even feeling proud of coming up with it on the fly, making Cinderace smile and cooing at how creative the two were and it wouldn't be dangerous at all let alone, having Melvin be mad or frustrated about somebody offering an alternative to his shows!

The man however and unknowing to them was seething on the inside as these teenagers were literally insulting his prowess, insulting his skills as a magician! Simple tricks, childish like magic and baby beginning magic shows?! Are they purposely insulting him and not knowing that he is a famous magician who has worked amazing shows and performances throughout Kanto?! How fucking dare they- they're nothing but brute and fucking idiotic trainers who know nothing what they're talking about!" He thought to himself and began tightening his fists and shaking them violently to his sides.

"Wait…their trainers." He suddenly thought to himself, and what they said about only needing one more gym badge? Means that they are very powerful and strong…or at least, the girl looks competent and strong. He's not so sure about Robert- he doesn't give off this impression he's a very powerful trainer. "I mean the fucker still has an Eevee, what kind of stupid trainer will not evolve their Pokemon for the Pokemon league? And yet, he has managed to get seven badges? Who knew the Gym leaders are pathetically weak and gone soft over the years. That they're letting trainers with unevolved Pokemon get gym badges."

But one thing for certain the hypnosis idea was a nice tactic if he wants to do his revenge plot. He just needs to figure out what the two have for Pokemon. But he will worry about that some other time, it's time to start his plan and use one of these kids for his plan. Probably the girl will be better considering she seems the more upbeat of the two and into magic. "Well," Melvin finally spoke up while alerting the two towards him. "If you two are truly willing to help a magician like me who is in the runts right now. I will happily accept your offer and gladly have you both help me with my magic act." Melvin began saying while grinning.

"Especially you young lady!" He exclaimed and had Leaf lowering her brows and tilt her head slightly. "You can be my special assistant and stand next to me on the stage and perform with me! You will also be wearing one of the official outfits I have back in storage, what do you say?" Though he faltered a bit when she crossed her arms and drummed her fingers against her forearms.

"I don't think so, considering you're only offering me a position on the stage. Why not Robert, huh?" Leaf then leans forward. "Kind of rude to offer it to me only and not him as well, we're a team and we do everything together to a certain degree." She said and was ready to lose her temper only for her to turn to Robert as he cleared his throat and chuckled sheepishly.

"Um, Leaf…stage fright?" Robert added though leaning back when she gave him a bit of a stink eye, while leaning forward and smiling. "Well…then again with me next to you, You don't generally get stage fright eheh." Robert added while getting Melvin to laugh and snicker at the two behaviors. NOW that's understandable why Leaf said the two always work together and do things together. They help each other with their weaknesses and strengths, and even heard Robert saying. "I mean if he needs help for special effects such as Leaf, I would probably have to work silently in the background and keep myself from being seen." He said and rested a hand on her shoulder, having the girl suck in her lips a bit and began popping them and shifting her gaze away.

"You'll do fine, Leaf, I will still be there to support you and if you ever feel like your nerves are getting the best of ya. Can always head to the back and take a small break, right Melvin?" Robert said and asked Melvin who smiled and saw how much the two truly cared for one another. It will be very sweet to destroy their faiths as it sickens him.

"Yeah sure, she can always head backstage and regain her nerves." Melvin then looked up towards the sky and saw it was almost reaching afternoon soon. He is pressed on time and he really needed to get the show going and get the girl under his spell. "Anyway, much I will prepare you two but I am pressed on time and my next show is about to begin. So, could we save the sentimental stuff for later- can we get a move on." He said and walked around the two teenagers and then began pushing them and having them grunt and yelp from the man ushering them. "Afterall, the show waits for no one!"

This had Cinderace crawling out from under the bench and then began following them towards the circus top he was leading the two towards. Not giving them a chance to even deny or agree to helping him, just out right pressuring them and forcing the decision himself upon them. Cinderace growled and cooed uneasy as she wasn't sure what is going to happen or what will happen once the show begins? One thing for sure, she will be there and ready to save either one of them from his ill intent!

Few minutes had passed as Robert and Leaf were brought towards Melvin's magic show tent top, as it seemed like everything was ready and set up. Minus a few pieces of equipment here and there as that was easily taken care of by Robert, who went ahead and carried and moved many of the equipment to the places they needed to be. Though Robert had once in a while dropped some of them or accidentally had them scattered across the floor and grass. Causing Melvin to lose a bit of temper and anger towards Robert.

In which would have Leaf almost ready to blow a fuse back at him, only to stop when Robert waved Melvin off and stating how the equipment that he scattered is just props and literally rubber balls and prank like items. Saying and muttering how he doesn't understand why a magician will need prank toys to do their magic trick. Getting Leaf to snicker and agreeing with him as she helps him out and carry the things to where they needed to be. Making Melvin growl and get frustrated with the two of them- especially Robert. The teen, despite being very friendly and kind, is very in Melvin's mind, irritating especially how much he is sticking close to Leaf and making sure she wouldn't be out of his sight. Alongside his Eevee, who despite the adorable Pokemon is doing his best to pick the tools up and carry them, is also being very defensive and shielding Leaf.

It was going to be very difficult to execute his plan if Robert and Eevee are always around her. But luckily he has a good trick up his sleeve in getting Leaf by herself and be with Exeggute to get the hypnosis going. He just needs a way to drag the girl there without her speaking or squeaking or yelping out.

Cinderace, who poke her head underneath the tents flaps, hummed and glared towards Melvin as she saw him approaching his Exeggute who all bounced over to him and the man crouching down and saying to them. "Listen Exeggute, once I start the disappearing act. I want you to use Teleport on my signal and teleport Leaf into the backstage and have her in a chair, chained and tied down. Then when she is in position, I want you to use Hypnosis before I come in okay?" He said and saw the Pokemon nodding and wiggling about in agreement. Making Cinderace growl dangerous but smirk, as she knows where to go now! So she crawled back out from under the tent flaps and began making her way towards the back of the show tent and the room where Leaf will be forced to teleport into.

So she went ahead and found the room and hid herself among one of the coat hangers and moving the outfits around the circular coat hangers and sat down in the middle and giggled out how this was a great plan! When she was in position, things started moving forward as she then heard what sounded like Leaf coming into the room and sighing out and looking to be trembling and shaking, "Okay…Leaf just find the Vulpix leotard suit, put on some little glitter and head back out there and…do your best." Leaf whined out and groaned. "God this is nerve wracking. I know I joked to Robert about doing this and wanting to wear these…but ACTUALLY doing it and being on stage is a whole other process." Leaf muttered and approached the outfits and began looking through the outfits to find what she was looking for. "Let's see…Vulpix, Vulpix…AH here we go!" She smiled and grabbed the leotard and then blushed crimson red as she eyed the outfit.

She then heard Melvin's voice echoing out and knew the show had begun and the girl quickly shook her head and took another couple even breathing. "Going to be a tight fit, but you can do this girl just…" Then hummed and then smirked. "Think of Robert's reaction and how much he will ogle at you…which of course might have others ogling you too. Bah!" Then turned around and headed off to one of the changing stalls to get into the outfit. Having Cinderace coo very quietly, amazed how much Leaf seems to really want to impress Robert or having him eye her. Making the rabbit wonder if he is her mate or something?

After awhile and watching the girl sitting her duffle-bag on a chair where her Pokemon and Pokeballs were, came out from the changing room and was completely red in the face as she walked towards the mirror and bit her lip. The leotard was a lot more revealing than she originally thought and very snug to her figure. She had to constantly grab the bottom piece of the leotard and stretch the fabric out in order to cover over her exposed butt cheeks, wincing lightly as it made a snap noise. Feeling her cheeks being caressed and rubbed against the fabric.

Even tugging and pulling the upper part of the leotard as it only covers and reaches around the top of her breasts and cleavage area, pushing her boobs upwards and forming a large cleavage. Exposing her bare shoulders and torso- as she tugged and pulled at it to even adjust the broach in the middle. The girl went ahead and turned sideways and gilded her hands along her curves and saw how it outlined her hourglass figure nicely and pronouncing her assets greatly, she even flick and brush against the tails in order to hopefully have them cover more of her exposed butt cheeks.

Leaf then turned towards the door as she heard a knock and Robert's voice, "Leaf you ready? You need to head on stage." He said and had the girl smiling and then looking at her reflection and nodding her head as she quickly grabbed some blue star stickers from the cabinet and placed one on her right cheek and grinned widely. She then quickly walked her way over, hopping on each foot as she put on the slippers and nearly losing her balance and falling against the door.

The girl cleared her throat and gilded her hands against her brown hair and then pulled them up into a ponytail and tied it up. Then opened up the door and said, "Alright, ready! The outfit is quite tighter than I expected but, how do I look!" Leaf said and giggled as Robert's face blushed and smiled back at her, knowing his naivety would kick in and have him not really notice her beautiful figure. Only for her eyes to go wide and turn completely red when he surprised her and said.

"Looking great, the Vulpix outfit really suits ya and expresses you greatly." Robert said and Leaf nearly fell backwards as Robert with quick reflexes grabbed her before she could fall backwards, and straighten her up and asked. "Whoa, you alright Leaf?" watching the girl nodded and giggling like a schoolkid, before slapping her face hard and fast to get herself out of the stupor and shaking her head rapidly and clearing her throat.

"Y…Yeah I am good-good, Robert. Just…" then did her best not to squeal. "I-I need to get going! Thanks for the compliment!" She squealed out and ran towards the stage. Having Robert stare lightly and even reach out for a brief moment wanting to be sure she was okay. But couldn't stop her and saw her turn a corner, but then leaned back and poke her head out upside down with a big grin. "Thanks again! I really needed the confidence boost Robert!" And then quickly went up the small steps leading the stage and began heading out to Melvin as he went and introduced Leaf being his assistant.

This had Robert blinking his eyes and then looking down towards Eevee, who happily skipping along the grass and heading towards the stage. Wearing what looks like a cute jester outfit, only to whine as Robert grabbed him and pulled the blue rubber nose off from the Pokemon face. "Nuh uh Eevee, I don't want Melvin to give us a mouthful and think you're stealing the show for your cuteness." Robert said and laughed as Eevee glared and barked at him and crossed his paws with a humph, but laughed as Robert tickled his sides. "Cute than cool Eevee, anyway let's get to the stage and help Leaf out."

Once they had left and headed out towards the stage while making sure to stay hidden things played out quite normally throughout the magic show. There were a lot of people at the stands sitting and waiting for the magic show to begin. Gathering a lot of audience and half of them being pretty young boys or teenagers who were eyeing and looking towards LEaf in her Vulpix leotard, that is making her feel a little unnerving but she knows most female magician assistants always get these stares.

After a while and the show going Cinderace hummed and shook awake and lightly thrashed about within the coat hangers. Hearing what sounded like Exeggute coming into the room and bouncing about and rolling about in the room. Making her rub her eyes and then poke her head through the outfits and saw the Psychic/Grass type Pokemon using their powers to get everything set up and ready for Leaf. A chair, and strong looking bindings of rope and chains coming out from a large looking toolbox. The female Poikemon growled and decided that taking initiative is in order and quickly threw the clothes apart, surprising the Exeggutes who rapidly turn at her and then let out a yell as she charged up and readying a Ember attack, only for the coat hanging behind her and no thanks to her swinging the outfits apart. Caused it to rattle and then completely fall on top of her, making her swallow the ember with a loud squeak and hit the ground hard.

Then before she could recover or even attack after quickly squeezing her way out of the hanger. She suddenly felt weightless and began thrashing and swinging her arms and legs rapidly, to then screeching in pain as she felt the Psychic attack squeezing her tightly and injuring her badly, to then being thrown towards the tent's flap like walls and sliding down it to rubbing her head and then widening her eyes as she then saw coconut like energy attacks coming right for her! As Exeggute began using Barrage attack and having it pound, smack and explode around Cinderace who is being tossed and thrown about in the room and even crashing into one of the taller drawers- and had it slamming down on top of her, shattering the mirror that wa son top.

Cinderace groaned and crawled out, panting and breathing heavily to then looking up and widening her eyes as the Exeggutes eyes turned blue and began doing a rhythm like movements and starting using Hypnosis as Cinderace felt her eyes growing heavy and struggling to keeping herself awake, but felt her entire world spinning and the ground rapidly approached her and then everything went dark. Followed by her body being lifted out of the remains of the drawer and the Exeggute shoved the Cinderace into the large toolbox and closed it on her.

After that was done the Pokemon all smiled and went back to what they were ordered to do and got things ready for Leaf and teleport her onto the chair, as Cinderace is snoozing away inside the large toolbox as the grass/psychic type Pokemon is confident Cinderace will not interfere this time around!

"Alright lady and gentlemen! Boys and girls we have one more last magic trick to show off for you all, as my lovely assistant here." Melvin began saying as Leaf waved and gently moved a large box across the stage and moved it to the middle with Robert's and Eevee's help. "Volunteering is a disappearing act!" Melvin called out, getting the audience to coo and awe as well clapping their hands as the box got set up. Robert and Leaf spun the box around in order to show how there was no way for her to actually get out or escape, but this caused some worry with the two teens as they leaned behind the magic box and whispered to one another.

"Robert I know we're using Exeggute to teleport me out of the box. How the hell are they supposed to see me?!" She whispered and quickly tugged at her outfit as she knew the tails were covering her rear, but she kept feeling the leotard wedgies against and between her cheeks that it's starting to get uncomfortable.

"I don't know, I didn't see any openings or even a window on the box. Should I ask Melvin how this will work?" He asked her and saw the girl getting a little nervous and worried. As she nodded and mentioned how she's worried that the Pokemon will teleport the outfit instead of her and leave her naked.

Robert nodded and then leaned away from the box and turned towards the man, "Um, Melvin…Psst, Melvin we have a little situation here." Robert quietly said towards the man, having him groan inwardly and then softly turn to Robert and hummed. "There's no windows or openings in the box. How is Exeggute supposed to see Leaf and teleport her safely out?"

This had Melvin's annoyance go away briefly as the teens are technically correct. No matter how good of a psychic type Pokemon is, they still need to be able to see the person they want to teleport. He whispered back, "Don't worry you two- Long as Exeggute can sense Leaf they will be able to teleport her out of it without any harm. Now go, go you're going to ruin the show." He said and shooed Robert and Eevee, making the two to grunt and stumble forward a little and glared at the man as he turned towards the audience. "Sorry about that folks, you know these unpaid interns know nothing about what they're doing." He said and tried to embarrass Robert and Eevee, as Leaf glared and ready to snap at him. Only for one of the audience to speak.

"Maybe if you treat them with respect, maybe you wouldn't have them quitting all the time!" And had some of the people laughing and snickering, as the person then continued. "That boy and Eevee did nothing wrong and by the way they were talking to you. They were actually doing their job and probably warning you about there being something off about the box!"

This had Leaf crossing her arms and speaking up, "Not only that but that is my boyfriend you're trying to embarrass, I won't do this trick if you are going to discriminate against my friend and his Pokemon like that!" She growled out and had Melvin sweat dropping and then looking at the audience who were now glaring and eyeing him rudely, agreeing with the girl. He then cleared his throat and chuckled nervously as he raised his hand in defense.

"You are all correct, I apologize." Though flinching as they said, don't apologize to them, but to the boy and Eevee. "Right," "Arceus, once this is done, you fuckers will pay." He turned towards Robert and Eevee. "I sincerely apologize for my behavior, you two are looking out for your friend. If you like, you can stay and make sure nothing goes bad." Melvin said with twitching brows, that had Robert and Eevee taking note right away and starting to feel or get the sense the man is losing his patience towards them.

Once things settle down and proceeded with the show, Robert went ahead and reaches into his pocket while turning his back away from the audience and briefly go behind the curtains and started using the Walkie-talkie that was in his pocket and began calling Jenny to make her way to the Magic show, to then walking back out as he stood next too Eevee and watch Melvin go ahead and opening up the magic box and letting Leaf step inside. The girl was hesitant at first and gulped lightly and then breathed out a low breath of air and entered the box. "You…sure this will work?" She asked though and didn't get an answer as he shut the doors and locked it up silencing her and not answering the girl's question.

He began spinning the box around and doing his routine of showing there was no way for Leaf to escape as the girl hang onto the sides and trying her best to keep her balance as he spins and turned the box and began going on his spiel and telling the audience about the incantations he will perform that will have her disappear. The girl sighed and began shaking lightly feeling like the walls were closing in on her, making her bite her lip and shut her eyes tightly and drumming her fingers against the walls of the box, "everything going be alright, everything going be alright, everything going be alright." She began repeating to herself as her anxiety was beginning to kick in. She shook and trembled when Melvin began tapping and hitting against the box, making the girl quickly cover her ears and grimace. "Everything going be alright, everything going be alright." She repeated as each time he bang or tapped the box, flashes of the events of nightmare tower began running through her head, and imagery of Robert and his Pokemon getting attacked and brutally injured by that deranged man.

Her head shook lightly as she gripped her head tighter, "Everything will be alright, everything will be alright…I am okay, I am okay, I am okay." She continued and then heard the knocking and banging stop on the box and then heard Melvin going through his incantation and magic words, to which he tapped the box once more having the girl look at the entrance and then felt something sliding down from behind her and forced her to peak and see what it was and saw a small opening, follow by the Psychic/Grass type Pokemon through it. Making her blink her eyes and then let out a squeak as she felt her entire body going weightless and then immediately vanished!

When she opened her eyes and got the fogginess away, the girl raised her head and felt it spinning lightly to then quickly shake her head and clear away the dizziness and dizzy spell. As she then looked around and saw where she had teleported. Seeing she was back in the room she was in earlier and let out a couple even breaths to calm herself down, to then let out a sigh and slumping against the chair she is sitting on. But then when she tried to get up or even remove herself from the chair, she felt something tightly wrapped around her midriff, shoulders, wrists and ankles. Making her look down and start panicking, "The hell?!" She then struggled and thrash about in the chair as she tried kicking and wiggling her legs, but they were tightly bound on the chair. "What the hell is going on?! Robert! Robert!" She cried out and yelled hoping he would hear her, but hearing the applause and how loud it was, there was now way Robert or Eevee would be able to hear her. "HEY someone, anyone can you hear me!" Leaf continued shouting and screaming as she grunted and huffed lightly. "Fan fucking-tastic- another Damsel in distress situation. God, why is this even a thing!" She growled and bounced about in order to move the chair and hopefully make it til or fall over so she can have an easier time breaking free.

"Bad enough I had to experience this back then, and now today? Ugh," She huffed and blew some air into her bangs as they slid down to the front of her eyes and then looked around and spotted her duffle-bag and smiled, it was only about three steps away from her. If she mustered the strength and bounced accordingly and moved the chair the way she wanted too? She can easily go and grab her Pokemon, then commanding one of them to come out on their own. Since Pokemon can hear through Pokeballs.

But before she could even do so or start bouncing she heard the Exeggute coming into the room and rolling about and bouncing, as the girl glared towards them and that is when she took note of the disarray the room looked? Making her blink her eyes and scan around much she could in her tied up position. Wondering what the heck happened here and even saw a mirror that was shattered on the grass, along with the circular coat hanging on the ground making her wonder if there was a fight here? "Huh?" She then faced forward and saw the Exeggute beginning to glow their eyes and started the motions like with Cinderace earlier, as Leaf stares and began feeling her head and mind getting foggy and heavy, "what…are…why, you…using hypnosis…" she muttered out softly and began staring deadeye at the Pokemon with a thousand yard stare and eyes half open. She then heard the door opening up again and followed by footsteps crunching the grass beneath them and standing in front of the girl.

It was Melvin who had a wicked grin and began tapping his magic wand against his open palm and says, "Alright bitch, you are going to help me with my revenge plan for this stupid carnival and making you my scapegoat as well, to put the blame for why the Exeggutors nearby are going on a rampage to the people here." He then moved the wand under her chin and lifted Leaf's head up. "So Leaf, you will obey everything I say and will do what I say…now, tell me what Pokemon you have with you." He chuckled darkly as Leaf began speaking and telling him what Pokemon she has with her, while deep inside she was doing everything in her will power to fight off the hypnosis and prayed for Robert and Eevee to find her before Melvin takes her away.

Robert and Eevee were in a panic as they were running and rushing through the magic tent-top. Looking everywhere for Leaf as Robert burst through some of the doors and even closet spaces where she may have disappeared or teleported too. "LEAF!" Robert shouted and gritted his teeth as he saw the girl wasn't in the supply closet, even going in and tossing and throwing some of the props, stage items and knick knacks out of the way in hopes of un-burying her from within.

While Eevee is out back on stage and crawling and looking through under the bleachers and stands for where Leaf could be hiding underneath the audience seats. Squeezing his head through between the bleachers, and then squeaking out as he got stuck and began thrashing about and resting his back paws against the bleachers and popping himself out. Shaking his head rapidly and looking around, "EVOI!" He cried out and panted as he then flinched and lowered his ears when he heard some crashing and objects being dropped or thrown about from his trainer. Making Eevee look to where the stage was and saw Robert walking onto the stage, panting and breathing heavily. Looking a little sweaty and worn out.

"Anything Eevee?" Robert asked between harsh breaths and saw Eevee shaking his head and rushing his way over to his trainer, jumping onto the stage. "Alright, then we should check the dressing room then. That's…" Though he stopped and saw Officer Jenny and her Growlith rushing in from the entrance, she too looked tired and slightly out of breath. "Jenny!."

"I checked everywhere around the tent and got here as fast as we could. We didn't see Melvin or Leaf outside." The officer said Growlith barked and growled as Eevee approached her and asked the female Pokemon if she caught anything, to which the canine growled irritably. "Where is the last place you haven't looked yet?" Jenny asked and then saw Robert nudging his head and running off the stage, with her and their Pokemon following suit.

"The dressing room, come on it's this way. But something tells me we're not going to find them there…ugh." Robert let out a loud grunt as he tripped over a prop that was hanging out from the closet from him, tossing them about, tripping and falling onto the ground hard and fast. Cutting his ankle lightly and tearing his pants. This caused him to lightly grab onto his leg, hissing and tearing up from the nasty cut and look at the injury with Eevee rushing over in panic and saw the vut bleeding.

"You alright!?" Jenny shouted and saw Robert, just quickly ripping the rest of the ankle length pant leg some more and quickly wrapping it around the cut. Causing it to get stained as he struggled lightly on getting up and felt Jenny grabbing his arm and wrapping around her shoulders. "Easy, don't push yourself."

"I felt worse…I need to find Leaf…" He breathed out and tried limping his way forward but felt Jenny moving along with him and still holding onto him. "I can't lose her…not again…not after that event." He growled out and had Jenny softening her look and faced forward and felt the boy's determination and drive to protect Leaf. "Vad enough she had to be in a magic trick and be inside a magic box. Knowing full well her…anxiety will probably flare for closed spaces. But now disappearing and not being anyway after Exeggute using teleport."

"But you two wanted to be very sure what Cinderace was relaying was true or not. And investigated knowing full well the dangers." She said and looked at them as they rounded a corner, as Growlithe and Eevee hopped every few seconds forward and turned to the two, wagging their tails and showing concern for Robert. "I know I shouldn't say it as it would be redundant to say how dumb this was…but I am glad I made the right choice to hand you two the walkie-talkie."

Then smiled at Robert who smiled back, "especially when you relayed to me how the audience shouted to him about trying to embarrass you and Eevee, and possibly Leaf. Then saying how many times he's done it." Then laughed and faced forward and saw the dressing room, as she gently unwrapped Robert's right arm from her shoulders and watched him softly limp forward and open the door. "Made the reports we received be true, even though we couldn't do much of anything without evidence." then saw Robert lifting his good leg and kicking the door open, with her and Growlithe rushing in and ready to arrest Melvin. "MELVIN!" but they all grunted and gritted their teeth as they saw nobody was inside.

Robert, limp inside with Eevee as they look around and take notice of the mess in the room. "There looks to be a struggle…but?" Both he and Jenny relaxed a bit as it didn't look much like a human to human struggle. As they saw the chair in the middle of the room, with the ropes and chains. Followed by Leaf's duffle-bag! In which Eevee and growlithe ran over to it, as Eevee began sniffing it and pawing at the bag in order to tilt it over and saw it was opened. Robert and Jenny approach the bag and knelt down, with Robert being careful and opening the bag. "Leaf's Pokemon are missing…" He said softly, as Jenny got up and looked around rapidly in hopes of finding any clues or hints of what happened in the room.

"Wait…you hear that?" Jenny suddenly said and shushed the Pokemon and Robert, who all stood stalk still and listened carefully and then hearing what sounded like muffling yelling and screaming along with sounds of tools clashing and clattering about. This alerted Eevee and Growlithe as they stares in the direction of Growlithe running over to a tool box.

"Growlithe?" She barked and got a response back.

"ACE!"

"Growlithe, lith!" She barked out to Jenny and Robert who came walking over from Jenny, and Robert limping over as they heard Cinderace cries through the large tool box and kicking hard and fast against it. Jenny quickly reaches into her pouch and grabs a lock and pick as she places it into the lock toolbox and picks the lock open, in which the lid flew right open and Cinderace screaming out in frustration and looking really injured and bruised up.

"CINDERACE! Ace, cinder, cinder!" she yelled and bellowed out while blowing flames from ehr mouth but then began coughing and hacking heavily, kneeling down and almost collapsing forward as Robert caught her and held her up.

"Easy, easy your hurt and injured Cinderace." Robert said, and then looked at Eevee. "Eevee grand a full restore in my bag will ya?" He asked and watch the brown fox Pokemon nod, to then running towards her back and then places his front paws onto it and bite down on the zipper and open it up, to then poke his head inside the open bag to digging his front paws inside of it and began throwing and tossing some of the items out. "Blue box shape spray Eevee." Robert described the Pokemon, who wiggled his ears and wagged his tail.

Then Robert looks back to Cinderace who looks up weakly at him, "Cinderace, did the Exeggute did this to you?" He asked and saw her growling and nodding her head and muttering and murmuring threateningly how she was going to get her payback on them and then shifted her ears as Jenny spoke next.

"Cinderace, you know that girl with the brown hair who was with Robert? She disappeared and we can't find her anywhere after the magic show. You by any chance heard what went on here, as well if Melvin trapped you inside that large wooden tool box?" She asked and saw Cinderace sitting down now hissing at the injuries and began nodding her head and tried to relay the information. As Eevee squealed happily and bit down on the Full restore and dragged it out of the bag along with other items and berries, even a small rubber ball bounced and rolled away having Growlithe stare at it and tilting her head.

Then Eevee dragged the item across the ground and handed it to Robert, who thanked him and patted his head and faced the full restore towards Cinderace and grabbed onto her arm and let her know it's going to sting. In which Cinderace huffed "Cinder-" saying how she felt worse and winced from the spray hitting her injuries but then widened her eyes as she felt her strength and energy returning, along with the bruises and bumps she received completely disappearing! She raised her paws and flexed her fingers and smiled brightly, before touching the ground and hopping onto her feet! Then doing light jumping jax and began squeaking and squealing in delight while running around in circles! Then happily grabbing Robert's hand and shaking it up and down thanking him. "Heh, no worries, now you know where Melvin may have taken-" though hisses and felt his ankle hurting, alerting the Pokemon including Cinderace as she looks down at his ankle and widening her eyes.

She turned towards the full restore and grabbed it and lifted it up to him, having Robert and Jenny laughing. "Sorry Cuinderace, Potions and Full restore only works on Pokemon. But we welcome the gesture." Jenny giggled out and saw Cinderace folding her ears down and looking at the injury on Robert's leg. "Anyway, if Cinderace got into a battle with the Exeggute- and then locked up in the wooden box." Jenny deduces and then looks to Growlithe. "Groiwlithe, go and sniff Leaf's bag and pick up her scent! We will follow her scent that will take us there!"

The Pokemon barked and ran over to the bag, as Eevee followed her and doing the same figuring having two Pokemon to pick up the scent will do better. Cinderace hummed and look back at the boy and officer as Robert huffed and slowly got up, lightly pressing the toe of his shoes against the ground so his ankle wouldn't sting. "If only we can figure out why he wants Leaf…besides being a trainer of course."

"Yeah, why would he want to try and kidnap a Pokemon trainer? For what purpose does he have with her in mind?" They mused out and smiled when Growlithe got the scent and barked towards Robert and Jenny, as the two look and began following the canine. "Good job Growlithe led the way! We don't have a moment to lose!" She said as she wrapped Robert's right arm again over her shoulders, "be quicker this way. Let's tread carefully." Robert nodded and then looked back to Cinderace.

"Cinderace can you check around the carnival whale we follow behind Growlithe. Make sure nothing bad is happening to the people here!" Robert asked and gave Cinderace a thumbs up as he and Jenny, along with their Pokemon began heading out and leaving Cinderace by herself who took a step forward and tried to reach out but…paused midway and smiled and nodded her head. She then looked down at the full restore in her paws and then up to where the four disappeared from. She nodded and held the item close to her and began heading out and turning towards the back exit of the tent in order to go and check on the people in the Carnival!

Xxx

Jenny, Robert, Growlithe and Eevee were panicking now as the scent led them to the forest nearby the carnival. With the bushes and shrubbery being really thick and dense as well Jenny, warning and informing Robert and Eevee how this territory belongs to a herd of Exeggutor. "They don't generally bother people or the carnival whenever it comes here. As long as the people don't disturb them." Then gritted her teeth as her and Robert picked up speed and widening tier eyes when they spotted someone passed out in the middle of the forest path. "Is that…"

"LEAF!" Robert shouted and then wrapped from Jenny, who tried to stop him but saw Robert hopping and quickly kicking his injured foot up whenever he stepped down and rushed his way over to the girl, who was lying on the ground. "Leaf, Leaf!" He shouted in panic as he, growlithe and Eevee rapidly approached her and Robert crouching down and then grabbing the girl's upper back and seeing she was still in the Vulpix leotard, covered in dirt and some mud. "Leaf wake up, wake up!" Robert said and shook her as Jenny got close and then stepped back in surprise as Robert then reached out and pinch Leaf's cheek. "Sorry to do this, Leaf." And then pinched hard and stretched out the girl's face cheek as it turn red and swell up lightly, then let's go as it snap back against her mouth and had her shooting upright and slapping a hand against her cheek with wide, teary eyes and hissing loudly before turning to see who did it and then harden her look while groaning out slow and loudly.

"OOOOOOOOW!" The girl then rubbed her cheek and muttered out with a whine. "For fuck sake Robert, you didn't had to do that…a kissed probably would've been better if you wanted to wake your sleeping princess up." She whined and groaned from the pain and heard Robert chuckling and lightly signing out.

"I am just glad you're alright, I was worried Melvin was going to do something terrible." He said and then he turned and saw Growlithe and Eevee rolling Leaf's Pokeball. With Officer Jenny approaching on Leaf's right side and knelt down. "Leaf, what happened, what did Melvin did to you?" He asked and saw her blinking her eyes and staring openly forward until her eyes bulged and recalled everything.

"Right!" Then grabbed Robert;s collar and began shaking him. "We need to stop him! He's planning to use the Exeggutor to get revenge on the carnival and it's people. If we hurry now we should-" Then stops and looks down at Robert's ankle, as the boy had swirls on his eyes from the shaking Leaf was giving him. "What happened to your ankle!" She shouted and let go of Robert's collar and had him hitting the ground with a light grunt. Making Jenny snickering and laughing at the teenagers' antics and somewhat amazing chemistry they have together. Before racking her brain of what Leaf just said.

"Worry about that later Leaf, what does Melvin." Although after Robert got up and rubbed the back of his head. They all whipped around and faced in the direction of where the carnival was and saw some explosions and smoke rising up in the distance. "Actually, I think we can see it from here." She said and got up as Growlithe growled out and stood next to Jenny, "so that was his plan huh. I connected the dots." She said and had the teens and Eevee look up at her. "He planned to hypnotize a Pokemon trainer from the carnival, by tricking them into his magic show. Once he buttered them up and convinced them to help him out or possibly get one from the crowd to be a volunteer from the audience. He will use Exeggute to hypnotize them and command them to follow him and his Pokemon, towards these woods in order to catch and battle the Exeggutors living here, to then use them for his revenge plot and attack the carnival."

LEaf and Robert look to one another and click their tongues, "And we suggested using his Exeggute for the disappearing trick." Leaf muttered and then reached out to her Pokeballs and stood up, while helping Robert up carefully. As she goes and uses one hand to dust the grass and dirt off her body, legs, arms, thighs and torso. "He could've at least let me be back in my travel clothes. Ugh." She then looks at her Pokeballs in her left hand and softens her gaze. "He must've used me to command my Pokemon too- no doubt they have probably gotten weaker during their fight with Exeggutor."

Robert then looks to the open fields where the Exeggutor were supposed to be. "And seeing how there aren't any left- he must've caught each and every single one of them. Along with his Exeggute evolving too." Robert said and then turn to Jenny. "We should head back and try and resolve the problem and stop Melvin." He said and Leaf nodded, as she looked at her Pokeballs again.

"No doubt Charizard is exhausted, along with Clefable, Alolan Ninetales, Stoutland, Gallade and Roserade. Especially those last two, since their not exactly resistant to Psychic type Pokemon." She said and decided to carefully place the Pokeballs into her Vulpix leotard between her breasts, where they wouldn't fall or slip out from the outfit and face Robert. "I could use Charizard, but no doubt he will be tired from the fighting…"

"Sadly I already used a Full restore on Cidnerace." Robert said and had Leaf blinking her eyes. "Apparently Cinderace overheard Exeggute and Melvin talking while they went and hypnotized you, but was locked up and injured inside a large wooden box." He informed and had Leaf gasping and nodded her head as Robert then finished up, saying how he asked Cinderace to watch and take care of the carnival and its people. "I just hope she hasn't gotten injured."

Jenny raised her arm, "Let's go and not waste anymore time. Leaf, even if Charizard is weakened, I can have Growlithe assist him and help out with the Exeggutor!" She said and look to Robert. "Robert; you have any Pokemon who can handle Exeggutor?" In which he nodded but then said.

"Probably Swellow and Thieval- however with how many we will be facing and they having to get close." Robert grunted. "It will be tough for them." then shook his head and said, "Even Kingdra will have a hard time facing them if I ain't careful with it. I know it's part Dragon and gets rid of the poison typing."

"Kingdra is still part water and even though Dragon can resist grass types. It won't let Kingdra resist grass type with the water typing. We're talking about massive damage either way with powerful Exeggutor." Leaf added and then wrapped Robert's arms over her shoulders and all of them began rushing they're way back to the carnival. "Let's worry about that for later and get back and make sure nobody is hurt and Cinderace as well!" She shouted as they agreed and rushed they're way back to the carnival.

When they managed to get back and seeing the slight destruction and debris everywhere, they took note how much damage had gone through the place- tents were ripped and destroyed, burning on fire. Rides were broken or smashed to pieces, food stands and stalls littered and spread all over the place. Leaf let go of Robert's arm and they and Jenny took a step forward- as Growlithe growled and snarled as Eevee felt his fur sticking up in anger and sensing threats all over the place. Jenny hummed and spotted the ringleader of the carnival rushing over. "Oh Carliton, is everyone alright and safe?" Jenny asked and saw him panting and breathing, while nodding his head and then smiling when he saw the two teens.

"Oh thank god you two are alright, the staff and I ran all over the place looking for you. Thinking the worst that Melvin did something to you. When he arrived with those armies of Exeggutor." He breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Jenny. "Everyone is safe and fine, we managed to evacuate them. Thanks to Robert's Cinderace." He said and had Robert blinking his eyes and ready to say the Cinderace isn't his, but hummed and saw him pulling out the Full restore Robert used on Cinderace and saw the marker name he wrote on the item. "I didn't think that Cinderace would've let a trainer own her, but she is quite the trooper- she rushed right towards me and started warning me about what was happening."

Leaf hummed, "You were able to understand her?" She asked and saw him nodding. Making Robert and Leaf towards each other and back. "How?" then the two sighed with a smile, but disappointed to hear it wasn't because he had a trait that's like Ash when he said.

"Cinderace is quite the talent Pokemon for making impressions and impersonation of other Pokemon. She raised her paws above her ears, grabbing the tip and then began wobbling left to right with big stomps with her feet, imitating an Exeggutor. We knew they lived around here and I immediately connected the dots. That and the entire forest was moving too when we saw the treetops rumbling about." He said and then Jenny stepped forward asking.

"Where are they now? As well as Melvin?" She asked and she, Robert and Leaf widened their eyes in fear along with their Pokemon. As he shook his head and thrusted his arm behind him and the southern part of the carnival. Informing her how Melvin seemed to have also used Hypnosis on them and ordered the Exeggutor to just march and stampede into the carnival, while explaining how on the other side there is a mountain cliff which Leaf and Robert groaned irritably and muttered out.

"Of course there's an inconvenient curved mountain side that will have the Exeggutor back to the carnival." They said together and groaned, having Jenny huffing and scratching the top of her head, but then they all glared and felt their eyes going dotted.

"No worries, I placed some time bombs at the front of the Carnival where those Exeggutor fled and marched back here. I set them up to blow up when they come back, which will be five minutes from now as we speak." Though he let out a squeak and panicked as Jenny grabbed his shirt collar and shook him violently and yelled, scolding at the man.

"Are you fucking mad!? You know how dangerous it is to set up bombs like that around a public place, let alone endangering Pokemon as well!?" Then threw him down to the ground. "Once we resolve this matter, I am taking you to the Police office and setting charges for what you're doing!" She then growled. "I know that Melvin is the cause of this, but what you're doing is far more dangerous than some Exeggutor stampeding into the carnival!"

Robert then spoke up, "Let's argue about that later we need to go and get those Pokemon out of their hypnotic state!" Robert said and felt Leaf grabbing his arm as they quickly began rushing and moving their way towards the entrance of the carnival. With Jenny nodding her head and looking at the owner.

"You arfe to stay near where I can reach you understand? You're not off the hook. Hang out kids," Jenny shouted and ran behind them with Growlithe looking at the ringleader and bark at him, getting him to whimper in fear and watch the Growlithe humph and raise her head and then follow Jenny and the kids towards the entrance. Leaving him on the ground as he sighed and shook his head muttering out.

"My fiance is right…I should probably find a different environment that's less dangerous."

After a while the trio make it to the front of the entrance of the carnival and the rest of the debris that was left behind, along with being a couple distance away from where the Timebombs are placed. Leaf quickly unwraps Robert's arm and reaches into her cleavage to grab Charizard ball, "Charizard come on out!" She yelled and threw the ball releasing the Pokemon out in front who let out a roar, but flinched and hung his head down as she rushed over in panic and held his face. "Charizard…oh what did Melvin do to you?" She asked and saw Charizard grinning despite how much pain he is in, giving her a thumbs up and shaking his head. "Listen, I know your hurt and weak, but I can't explain much." She then turned and faced down the road as they saw the Exeggutor blindly marching back towards the Carnival.

"But we need to stop those Pokemon or else they will get hurt by timebombs that the ringleader had set up around the carnival." She said and saw Charizard widening his eyes. "Yeah I know, I agree that is insane." She quickly stood aside him as Robert and Jenny stood next to her and Charizard. "But we can't let them get hurt, so I hope you still have enough energy and strength to use, Flamethrower attack!"

"CHAAAR!" He roared and huffed out some flames from his nostrils and watched Growlithe quickly running up beside him and the two began moving forward and got ready as they saw the Pokemon marching right towards them. Then they blink their eyes as they see Robert sending out Swellow, who cried out and began flapping near the fire types and turned to Robert.

Robert smiled and gave the two ladies a thumbs up. "Swellow may not be ready to face an army of Exeggutor, but it doesn't mean we can use Whirlwind or even Hurricane to help boost the flamethrowers and spread them right!" He said and had Jenny smiling.

"Right, wind carries fires and blows them in many directions. If we use Whirlwind behind the fire types." Then Leaf grinned and got into a battle stance.

"We can use it to help Charizard and Growlithe Flamethrowers to reach the Pokemon without using too much force! Not only that." And Robert finished for them as Swellow nodded when he understood where everyone was going with this.

"The Whirlwind could potentially keep the Exeggutor at bay and push them into one another to hopefully slow them down.

"I don't see Melvin anywhere but let's worry about that for later." Jenny said and then threw her arm out as they saw the Pokemon. "Let's get to work! Flamethrower Growlithe!"

"Flamethrower Charizard!" Leaf shouted and Robert leaned forward and shouted.

"Whirlwind Swellow, assist the fire types into stopping the Exeggutor!" The Pokemon nodded and began doing their attacks, as the fire types used flamethrowers next to one another and made it look like a blanket of flames roaring through the air and heading straight towards the Pokemon. To which Swellow will fly above the Fire type Pokemon and blow heavy winds against the flamethrower attack, making it spread even farther and going faster across the sky. As they burn and blast through and against the Exeggutors- who briefly pauses and begins blinking their eyes.

The trainers and Officer snapped their thumbs and smiled seeing it was working and kept commanding their Pokemon to continue and work their way to stopping the rest, as they did so and continued using their moves. The cries and roars of winds attracted Cinderace, who had hidden herself near the ticket booth stand and peaked around it. Blinking her eyes and being in awe at everyone working together and doing their best to stop the Exeggutor. Her eyes lingers onto Robert as he moved and swing his arms around, directing Swellow to once in awhile get in close and use Hurricane on some of the Exeggutor from the distance, making Cinderace purr lightly and then eyed back to his ankle, watching how he is basically tiptoeing the one foot so it wouldn't push pressure onto it.

"Cinderace can you head out into the carnival and make sure nothing happens to the people here?" His voice rang out in her head. Never having somebody let alone a trainer, having complete faith in someone like her. Her memories play out back then as a Scorbunny, and Raboot- that whenever she tried to warn people, telling them that Melvin is bad news. She would go about using Ember or one of her other Pokemon moves to scare the attendees away and 's running as she burns them or tackles into them to keep away from Melvin. Resulting in her being attacked back by the staff members and their Pokemon, hurting her and injuring as it forces her to flee and run back to the forest on multiple occasions.

When months and years went by, she would rinse and repeat her actions, becoming more of a nuisance in the ringleaders and staff members' eyes. Always chasing her or using their Pokemon to try and attack her and the likes, but it got to a point that because of her constant returning and warning them about Melvin and sneaking back into the Carnival. They got fed up and decided to finally leave her alone and just outright have any trainers come and catch her instead, which resulted in her having to deal with Pokemon trainers over the months and years…but she was also kind of thankful for it too. As those battles gave her experience and strength, to even helping her evolve into a Cinderace! The girl would keep her act going and always running away alone and frightened when things got too serious or the Pokemon trainers got more dangerous to deal with.

By then the trainers completely stopped coming and that is when Officer Jenny was hired and making sure that the wild life Pokemon nearby wouldn't be disturbed or be attacked by anyone. It gave Cinderace that freedom and chance to roam secretly around the carnival…but of course, once she saw Melvin causing more problems and trouble. She once again tried warning and telling the staff about it- but went on deaf ears and outright ignored her. Making the rabbit Pokemon feel lonely and as if she didn't matter to anyone, as they always say "Cinderace who cried wolf". Course she didn't know what that meant, until she learned about it when some of the children asked their parents why the staff called her that and it hurt Cinderace greatly to learn that it means, nobody won't believe her and think she was a liar- trying to get attention and have people notice her.

But not today…not after bumping into Leaf and Robert, that the two of them actually saw her, look at her and noticed her. Yeah she got scared when Leaf was ready to throw a Pokeball- but stopped herself and giggled out how she doesn't need another Fire type with her. Cinderace was even surprised when Robert didn't try to attempt to catch her, let alone even sending his Eevee at her. She only knew them for today and the sense of no threats came from them, especially from Robert and how he even went out of his way along Leaf, to make a promise to Cinderace about figuring something out about Melvin and his demeanor- had her felt her heart fluttering and happy to know Pokemon trainers were taking her seriously.

She shook out of her musing and heard the group shouting out worries and concern to their Pokemon, as Charizard began coughing violently as a burst of flames came out from his mouth and knelt down. With Leaf rushing over to him and tending to his neck, watching the sweaty Pokemon do his best to get up and continue fighting but wasn't able to. Followed by Jenny rushing over to Growlithe who collapsed and had Jenny scooping her up and petting her head. While Robert looked at them with concern and face towards Swellow, who was panting and breathing heavily as the stampede of Exeggutor was too much for everyone.

Cinderace then heard them saying how the timebombs are going to go off within 2 minutes. Making Cinderace grit her teeth and flash towards how Robert helped heal her and used the Full restore on him. Making her wonder if he used his last healing item on her. Cinderace looked around the area and then back to the trio, who were tending to their Pokemon. She then hardened her eyes and began rushing forward and rapidly approaching the trio as she began kicking a pebble forward and started having it bounce and kick between her paws as flames began gathering around it and erupting into a small fireball.

Robert and Leaf went ahead to go and grab another Pokemon, but paused and saw a red and white blur running past them and then leaping into the air, as Cinderace let out a battle cry and kicks her Pyro ball at the Exeggutor and watched it burn, bounced and ricochet off couple of them and stopping them briefly as well hitting a good amount of them, as she landed back to the ground and got into a battle poise. "Cinderace?" Robert said and saw her whipping her head and smirking, having him smirking back. "Right, I used that Full restore on you." Then they both got into a battle stance. "Alright then let's do this Cinderace. Use a Pyro ball and have it bounced on their heads!"

"Cinderace!" She cried out and ran forward and began kicking and bouncing the fireball against her feet and legs, as she then kicks it into the air and then jumps upwards and twirl kick it hard and fast towards the Exeggutor, that got burned and cried out in pain and coming to a stop and waking up from the attack landing on them. The two kept this going for a couple more seconds and being creative of how they aimed and directed the Pyro ball, as time was on the essence as Jenny looked at her wristwatch and shouted.

"We only got a minute left! There's still about thirty of them left." She called out and had everyone and even the Pokemon gritting their teeth. Cinderace landed back on the ground and huff lightly, she looked left to right trying to figure out how they should get the rest of them, then her eyes widened and flashed towards Swellow using Hurricane earlier. She quickly turns, "Cinderace, ace!" She cried out having the humans blinking their eyes but their Pokemon listening intently as she then pointed to Swellow, "Ace, Ace! Cinder- erace," then she moved her paws towards Growlithe and Charizard. "Cinder, ace, Er, Er!" Chanting and telling them to use their moves from earlier as she will use Pyro ball. Having the Pokemon looking at one another and then turning their trainers, locking eyes with them.

In which Jenny, Robert and Leaf's eyes glinted and said, "I see so that's what you guys want to do." Then all smiled and thrusted their arms forward with Robert shouting, "Swellow use Hurricane, power up Cinderace Pyro ball!"

"Charizard"

"Growlithe" Leaf and Jenny then said together in unison. "Use flamethrower, on the Pyro ball and Hurricane!" The Pokemon let out their cries as Swellow quickly flew forward and began increasing in speed and rapidly spinning and swirling in place, gathering a lot of winds around one vocal point and a tornado began forming and rising high above the air as Swellow began ascending upwards. Charixard and Growlithe quickly ran forward with Charizard swinging his head back and then forward, firing off a powerful and last of his energy flamethrower to the tornado, alongside Growlithe doing the same by leaping into the air, while flipping backwards after firing the flame thrower and connecting to Charizards, as they slammed their attacks at the foot of the tornado and began immediately fusing with the Hurricane.

Cinderace then began dancing and kicking the Pyro ball on her feet and knees, "Now for the big finale of our magic trick!" She chanted out and then flipped the pyro ball above her head and then did a backflip, kicking hard and fast with her feet against the pyro ball and had it fly straight towards the Hurricane, "Our Raging Fireball attack!" She cried out as the ball hit the Hurricane and then began swirling and flying along the outside of the Fire hurricane and began enlarging and turning huge as the ball hit, smack and burn all across the Exeggutor along with the Hurricane plowing through them and digging into the dirt and ground with scorch marks. Everyone cheered and hooted at the idea working, then blinked their eyes and saw a man- possibly Melvin getting caught into the Hurricane and being flung across the sky and towards the center of the Carnival.

Having Leaf, Robert and Jenny blink their eyes and look to one another and lsmiled with laughter, then turn back to the Exeggutor stamped and saw all the Pokemon. Began stopping and waking up from the hypnosis effects, looking and staring around them as the Hurricane Pyro ball came to a stop. The Pokemon cheered and celebrated with Cinderace happil bouncing up and down, clapping her paws together and then laugh even louder as the Pokemon gather around her, to clapping their hands and wings with her, even Cinderace giggling and swinging Eevee around when the Pokemon wanted to get into the celebration and felt her lifting him up and swinging him around.

"Now that's what I call a great magic show." Leaf laughed and giggled, having Robert nodding and chuckling and grinned at Cinderace.

"But of course, she's seen all the tricks. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't have magic up her fur." He joked and had Jenny shaking her head at the teens' laidback tone. But couldn't agree more as she was amazed and surprised at Cinderace fast thinking there. They all then felt the earth shaking and trembling, causing them and their Pokemon to turn and face in the direction of where the timebombs exploded and erupted nearby them.

"Phew, we made it time." Jenny said and then smiled to the kids, who smiled back and then they turned and saw the Exeggutors beginning to head on hum, happily smiling with their dopey looks and expressions while waving their tree branches and even thanking Cinderace and the Pokemon for saving them as they leave and left to their home.

Cinderace waved goodbye to the Exeggutors and had a big smile on her face, while then turning to Robert and blushing at him as he smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up and saying. "Way to go Cinderace, you not only saved the Exeggutor but you also protected everyone at the carnival. We're really proud of you." He said and had Cinderace sucking her lips in and then grabbed her ears, squealing and wildly shaking her head trying to cover her face with her ears earning more laughter from the humans and their Pokemon for how embarrassed but happy she felt.

Xxx

Couple hours had passed and sundown was approaching, Robert and Leaf said their goodbyes and thank you to Officer Jenny and the staff for tending to their injuries and making sure that they were rested, prepared and having supplies on their journey. With the two teens wondering where Cinderace had disappeared too. Having the staff and the ringleader laughing and smiling, saying how knowing the rabbit- she is taking a well deserved break from the excitement and such. While the Ringleader raised his cuffed hands and chuckled, stating how he will have to cancel all future carnival plans. Alongside being chained with Melvin, who the circus staff managed to corner him after he fell into the center of the carnival and helped Jenny arrest him.

After a while and the teens saying their goodbyes and waving off to Jenny and the staff, they began heading south and making their way towards the Fuchsia city port. With Leaf giggling and smiling happily as she was given some of the leotards from the magic show, making Robert speak up and ask. "I still don't know why you accepted them? I would've been sure you were against them, especially after what happened?" He said and then chucked when Leaf, dragged her eyelid down and stuck her tongue.

"Oh please, just because of Melvin and his actions. Doesn't mean it will ruin my interest with Magic and such." Then grinned. "Besides I also got one for Misty when we reunite with her- after all…" She then elbowed Robert. "I saw the way you ogled at me and couldn't keep your eyes off me while wearing that Vulpix Leotard." She snicker and had Robert blushing and looking away, as Eevee smiled and wagged his tail. "Besides that…I really was hoping for you to catch Cinderace." She suddenly said and faced forward and saw Robert nodding. "You do need a fire type on your team…not having one can be dangerous."

"I know, but I didn't want to let alone remove Cinderace from her home." He said and looked at Leaf, "and yeah much as it would be cool to have a Galaraian Pokemon. But…" Though he couldn't finish his sentence and even felt his eyes bulging and yelling out in pain as he was suddenly tackled from behind, causing eevee to fly off briefly but gets caught by Leaf, who blinked her eyes and saw Robert tumbling about and then pinned to the ground, with his eyes spinning and then blinking them up and saw a smiling bright bushy face Cinderace! "Ci..Cinderace?! What are you doing here?"

"Cinderace!" She cooed happily and began nuzzling her face cheek against Robert, while rubbing and pushing down against his body. Keeping him still and just happily showing her affection to him, as she then pulled away and wiggled her rabbit tail. "Ace, Cinderace!" She said blushing and began looking down at his body, trailing her paws in search of something, as she absently and fully knew she was rubbing and pushing down against his lap and pelvis. Leaf couldn't help but laugh and snicker, seeing what Cinderace is doing, but also catching on to what she wanted.

"Well, well it seems like Cinderace here has other things in mind." Leaf snickered and held Eevee who happily yipped and wagged his tail. "Seems like she wants YOU to catch her, Robert. No ifs or buts about it." She said and saw Cinderace look at her rapidly with a big smile and then back down at Robert, smiling even brighter and wider as she blushed even more bouncing up and down against his pelvis.

Robert blinked his eyes and then faced Cinderace who giggled and nuzzled her face against his again, blushing redder. "Heh, well…if that's what you want Cinderace?" He asked and saw her pull away and slide her paws against his chest and nodded rapidly. Then giggled and bounced off Robert and did a somewhat victory small lap circle and then watched Robert getting up and stretching his back and laughing, reaching into his bag and grabbing a Pokeball. "Welcome to the team Cinderace!" and threw the ball forward. With her leaping up with a squeal and clapping the ball and get sucked inside and allowed herself to be caught!

He picked the ball up and closed an eye as Eevee leap off from Leaf's arms and onto his shoulder, which he then happily bark as Robert gifted the ball and then the two look to Leaf who smiled and then snicker, leaving both Eevee and Robert confused as she happily folded her hands behind her back and walking ahead.

"Seems like I am about to have some competition in the future. I better warn the others about it too." She said and laughed and began running as Robert and Eevee stood there confusingly, before shaking their heads and began chasing after the girl.

Robert and Leaf have earned a new friendship and partnership with Cinderace, as their adventure at the Carnival will be one to never forget as well as to the Exeggutor who are ever grateful for their assistance. As our heroes head off to the Fuchsia city ship port, they will be soon reunited with our inspiring Pokemon master as they make their way to Cinnabar island where their greatest and toughest challenge awaits them. As our heroes' adventures to reach the Pokemon league…as our heroes journey continues!

To be continued…
