Charlie Cedar
&
Fantasia Heirloom
Estoria City
Fantasia yelled at Charlie as she dragged him back toward the eatery,
"You can't just go have your Pokémon attacking people willy nilly! I appreciate the effort but this is just ridiculous." Charlie sighed and threw his hands up in the air.
"Fantasia! Don't you see?! That was the guy that we were looking for! It was the exact same trainer, he just dropped the bag and switched out Pokémon! Use your head! Do you ever want to see the thing that your dad worked so hard for, or are you just going to let all you said before go to waste and have no meaning?"Fantasia rolled her eyes, glaring at Charlie for a breif moment, taking a second to collect her thoughts before enunciating her speech clearly.
"Are you kidding me, of course I want my special Pokedex back - I just find it a bit suspicious that the trainer had a 'shiny' Zorua and around the same time my Pokédex went missing, you just so happened to find a 'shiny' beldum. I mean think about it, the paralells are there."Charlie stepped forward towards Fantasia, making his voice very firm.
"So what your saying... What your telling me... Is that I had my Beldum hurt another trainer to get away with stealing a Pokédex that has no meaning to me at all? This is insane, I know you think low of me, but really? I knew I shouldn't have tried helping you. What a waste of my time." He stormed off from Fantasia, his Beldum's one eye glaring at her.
Fantasia scoffed, laughing at his remarks as if he had just said something completely idiotic, when in actuality he had a good point.
"You can't just walk away from me Charlie, not after we have come this far. If you aren't hiding anything than I am sure you wouldn't mind if I took a look in your bag?"Charlie scowled,
"Fine! Take a look in my bag, and I assure you, your god damn Pokédex isn't in here." Charlie shoved his bag towards Fantasia with a look of utter contempt.
It was more than evident Fantasia wanted more than anything to take a look in that bag, the wide grin on her face had only solidified that assumption. She ruffled her hands through his bag, pushing aside miscellaneous items; a few pokeballs, some potions - typical trainer stuff. At that point her stomach dropped, realizing the seriousness of her claims.
"Oh.. I'm terribly sorry Charlie, I should've taken your word." She had a way of making things much more dramatic than intended, which could have come across as a manipulation tactic but in more ways than one she was being sincere.
"You offered me help, and my one track mind couldn't stop suspecting you for reasons I don't even know now... Is there any way you could ever possibly forgive me, Charles?""Yeah, I did offer you help, and I regret it. I thought that maybe you would have changed, but no, you didn't. Your still the same old Fantasia who looks down on the less fortunate, and to me, that's sad." Charlie walked off towards the gate to route two, where three security guards stood. He didn't look back at Fantasia. He didn't know if she was cryin, or following him, or tripping on her own got damn dress, but he knew one thing... And that was that he didn't care.
"Look, I said I was sorry Charles!" She ran as fast as her heels allowed in his direction in attempts to catch up to him, "I know I shouldn't have accused you and that was wrong of me! Could you just stop walking and look at me when I am speaking to you!?"She finally caught up to him, flipping him around to face her with an honest look.
"Yes, okay I have made mistakes in the past - aren't I a human being? To be fair, you hurt me when you called my Budew a reciept, that was a low blow consitering how much you love your Pokemon; but in all honesty I wasn't sure whether or not I was hurt that you would say such a thing, or if it were because it was secretly true.""I... I..." Charlie just couldn't find the words to speak to Fantasia.
Her eyes began to tear up as she batted at them, making sure her mascara didn't smudge.
"You hurt me on purpose Charlie - and when you walked out with that shiny pokemon I realized how crude and offensive my comments were. At the time I was too bitter and quite frankly too jealous to apologize, you have a shiny Beldum that loves and respects you more than my Budew has ever done for me and I've had her for a few years trying to get her to evolve." She sniffeled and turned away from him in a very theatrical way,
"I just need you to take me back to the lab so I may call my father about hiring the best detective in the region to get my Pokedex back, if you take me there and decide to go your seperate way I will respect your decision.""Fantasia... That's not true. I just got Beldum today, I know that your Budew cares able it you just as much as him, if not then more. I... I'll take you back to the lab. And... " He didn't know what made him do it, as he was hating her guts not even five minutes ago, but he walked up and hugged her.
"Thank you." She hugged him back, stepping away after a few moments,
"I assume this means we are okay now?" She smiled back at him, beginning the trek back to the lab - waving back to him with a 'follow me' gesture.
"Yeah, I guess that mea we are..." He said, walking back to the lab next to her. He traveled up the steps and through the automatic sliding doors. The security guard raised a brow, as they were coming back for their second time in the last 45 minutes.
"I think the phone is over there," He said pointing to the hallway on their right.
Good luck.""Alright, let's hope he picks up this time." She stated, walking over to the phone. Taking a moment to breathe, holding her breath as she picked up the phone, praying that he would be there now that some time had passed.
