"Now we're on to our freestyle performances! Please give a warm welcome to Locket Cantu!"

Taking a deep breath, Armor smiled to the audience. Chespin and Meowstic stood by 'his' sides, giving him a reassuring smile. They all knew the routine that Locket was going to do herself for this showcase.

The song ( https://youtu.be/F3OWI83pctc ) faded in overhead, signaling the three on stage to begin.

"Alright Chespin use Energy Ball! Meowstic use Psychic!"

Chespin and Meowstic did two front flips towards the crowd before bowing. They turned to face each other and readed their attacks.

Chespin sent out three energy balls, which Meowstic used psychic to capture. The energy balls twirled in a ring between the two Pokémon.

Armor quickly bent down to touch the stage floor before sprinting towards the ring of energy ball. He then jumped through the opening of the ring of energy balls, posing in the air as he did.

Chespin followed, by jumping through them as well.

"Do it!"

As Chespin made it in the center he used Double Team. The copies of himself rippled through the energy ball's causing all of them to exploud in white and green sparkles.

Chespin, Meowstic, and Armor joined each other under the sparkles. Together they turned to their side, lifting an arm to have it circle like a pinwheel. They lifted their arms in the air, swaying their hips, winking to the audience.

"Meowstic, Disarmed Voice!"

The feline Pokémon stamped her feet to the stage floor, throwing her paws out. Then it happened - a giant aria of Disarmed Voice was shot out towards the crowd. Chespin grabbed ahold of Meowstic's paws and spun in place with her. Armor tapped 'his' feet to, spun in place, and kneeled behind Locket's Pokémon who posed with one paw in the air and the other holding each other.

"Thank you!"

The audience applauded the performance that Armor, Chespin, and Meowstic did.

Looking to the audience, Armor could finally see Locket, himself. 'She' was sitting close to the front of the stage, clapping and cheering.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The winner for the Anistar City Showcase is performer Locket Cantu! Congratulations on your third princess key win! You are now eligible to enter the Master Class!" Pierre announced. Klefki handed Armor a princess key that had a luserious pink stone in the center. Armor graciously accepted the key, showing it to Chespin and Meowstic.

"We did it! Thank you both!"

Pierre smiled to the trio celebrating. He then turned to the crowd once more.

"Good-bye until next time when I shall see you all at the Master Class! The Master Class will be held in Santalune City two days from now!"

Armor nodded as 'he' walked off the stage to the back. He gladly showed Chespin and Meowstic the princess key once more before putting it away to look for Locket.

The performers that were still backstage congratulated Armor on 'his' win as 'he' passed by.

"I wonder if Locket went through this herself too." Armor whispered to 'his' Pokémon.

"You were all so amazing!"

Armor was about to turn to see who just gave 'him' a compliment but got hugged instead.

It was Locket who had complimented him and hugging him.

"T-thank you s-so much!" Armor struggled to say as he was being hugged too tightly.

Locket let go of Armor to hug Chespin and Meowstic. She smiled big to her Pokémon before giving them back to Armor. She then leaned closer so only the male would hear what she had to say.

"We better find somewhere to get you, me, changed."

Armor nodded and returned Chespin and Meowstic to their Pokéball's. He grabbed Locket's backpack and hand, guiding 'her' to an empty room.

The male made sure nobody else was in the room before locking the door. He then took out Locket's normal clothes and handed them to 'her.' He kept his eyes shut tightly again as he waited for the performer to change 'his' dress.

When Armor didn't hear or feel any changing of clothes he whispered quietly.

"Is everything okay?"

Locket murmured a "you can do it" which caused Armor to snap his eyes open.

"W-what?"

Armor stared at Locket for a moment before looking away to hide 'his' blush.

Locket sighed quietly before she spoke again.

"Only because with that dress all you have to do is put the shirt on and skirt. Then I can unzip the back and it's off and you won't have to see anything or feel awkward if I do it... I trust you so that's why I'm okay if you do it."

Armor nodded slowly. He knew the performer was just trying to make things feel less embarrassing for him, but this situation would be worse if he did it.

"Thanks for wanting me to feel more comfortable, but I won't be if you're not. So you can do it, I promise I won't feel awkward."

Locket gave a soft smile before asking Armor to close his eyes, which he did. She then changed her body as she had instructed earlier and put the dress away.

"Tada! Now let's go and get our own bodies back! It's only 1:30 p.m. and we have the rest of the day to fix this!" Locket cheered. "When I was in the audience I overheard that there may be someone who can help us on the next route from here. The person does inverse battles where things get switched, so maybe he can switch us back!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What! He's gone!" Locket cried out.

The two had made it to the next route where the inverse battle trainer was said to be. But they only found out that the inverser was out for the season!

"How are we going to switch back now! He was my only lead as to fixing us!" Locket sadly said. Armor patted Locket's shoulder as he looked at the inverse battlers house.

"Is there a problem?"

The two looked to see who had just talked to them to see a girl with Red hair and yellow eyes.

"Yes, we kinda switched bodies and need to get back into our own." Armor explained.

The girl nodded, she held up both of her hands, releasing a force of energy through them.

The force threw the two back, causing them to fall.

Looking up to the girl, Locket stared at her in confusion.

"There, good as new! The name's Sage by the way. I'm a follower of Olympia, a psychic type trainer. Hope to see you around." With saying that Sage walked off to leave Armor and Locket alone.

Locket looked down at herself. Light blue shirt, royal blue jacket, pink skirt! She was back to normal.

"I'm me again!"
