"Do you think it's too much?" I question Sonia and Nessa, I smooth down the mesh of my dress. "The dress or the fact you're making a Poké Queen appearance?" Nessa chimes, "Because I don't see a problem with either," she waves off. I look down at the dress, the top a plain silk halter top cup but the skirt being two layers. The under skirt being a silky plain black that reaches my the middle of my thighs. The top later is a translucent black mesh that allows the silk under skirt and my legs to show through, however stars and constellations are dotted across the fabric creating a small starry night sky. To top it all off my crown rests on my head with an elegant updo to frame it.

"It's the semi finals and I want to show my full support," I mumble, looking between two pairs of heels. "We get it love, which is why we suggest those," Sonia smiles pointing over to the matte black pumps. "Not to mention we love a good show, can't imagine how the crowd will react to see the Poké Queen coming to see the person she endorsed battle." Nessa giggles. "You two are a menace." I smirk, "We do try." Sonia chirps.

After the two finally decided to leave, I met Leon at the stadium. The man was completely awe stricken at my appearance, "I didn't know you were making an appearance?" He mumbles. "I wanted to give my full support." I smile brightly, Leon does the gentlemen thing and offers his arm out to me, I take it before he leads us inside the gym where he does his best to get me past the reporters who start an up rawer.

I waited nervously off on the sidelines, although I was an official guest today I still had my job perks to get me close to the field. The first line up being Gloria and Marine, the girls gasp upon seeing me at the very front of the crowd. I bow my head approvingly, encouraging them both to do their best. The girls then faced each other a new light in their eyes as the battle commenced. It was fierce and a bit of debris came flying my way but nothing to be concerned over. In the end Gloria won, the punk rock girl letting out a sigh with pink cheeks as she looked over in my direction, I sent her a warm smile to congratulate her on a battle fought fought. Her mood seemed to brighten a bit more after that.

The next battle was Hop against one other trainer, Hop's battle was damn near a landslide. The boy pulled out every tactical trick he knew to win and it had me rather shocked by how much he knew. As soon as he declared victor he turned and waved to me wildly, I gave him a small wave back with a bright smile.

But then came the battle everyone was hoping for, two trainers, one endorsed by the Champion and the other endorsed by his girlfriend the Poké Queen. It was only when this battle started did Leon make himself known at my side. "Do you still think Gloria will win?" Leon questions, I shrug my shoulders, "I'm not going to let myself assume." I replied simply. "Who would of thought, the semi finales, a battle between lovers." I snort, "They're not really lovers (y/n)." Leon chuckles, "Not yet, but the people who endorsed them are which makes this all the more dramatic." I laugh. Leon hums in agreement, but we fall into silence as we watch the two kids battle it out. Until they're both down to their very last Pokémon, "So, Endorser of the loser buys dinner?" I offer with a grin, Leon looks down at me with a smirk. "Your on," He muses, the two of us watch as the kids before us fight it out until, in the end when the dust cleared, Gloria came out on top.

"There you go Leon," I whisper, before turning and making my way to the lobby to wait for the kids when they leave the locker rooms. Leon follows along with me and we both wait silently, "Do you think I should strike the pose?" He questions with a grin, I snort at his ridiculous question. "If you want to be a dork about it," I muse, Leon hums before going back to our silent wait, until at least the kids come out. When he then struck the pose, I let out a long sigh, closing my eyes and tilting my head with crossed arms. "Congratulations you two," I smile, I open my arms and the two come charging over, hugging me tightly. "I'm very proud of you both," I whisper softly, I feel Hop's grip on my grow a little tighter.

"I'm beat," Hop sighs slumping against me as Gloria pulls away, I run a hand through his hair, "Well I do believe Leon is buying dinner tonight," I smirk over to the man who scratches his cheek with an embarrassed smile. "As long as it's something good," The boy whines, "Sure Hop, how about I take you two back to the Hotel first hmm? Leon I trust you can meet us there when you finish your work here?" I question, "Yep, I'll be good love!" He grins. "Alright you two lets head out," I nod pushing the two along, Leon presses a kiss to my cheek as we pass. Hop makes a gagging sound, but is promptly slapped on the shoulder by Gloria.

I roll my eyes and continue to push the two along, the kids make it to their hotel rooms and freshen up before meeting me back down stairs. I look at my watch checking the time with a sigh, He's late, again. The two kids and I wait a little longer, but as time winds on I start to get worried, surely Leon knows to text me if things drag him out this long. "Hey look, it's Piers!" Gloria calls, I look over to split colored haired male trudging into the hotel. His sister not too far behind him, the girl gasps and rushes her way over, "You're so gorgeous!" She gushes. I sent her a weak smile, but worry still tugs at my chest, "Piers have you seen Leon?" I question. "Yeah said he was goin' to Rose Tower, said to tell ya he'd be late." The man grumbles.

Fear strikes my chest, I don't give anyone an explanation before walking to the entrance to the hotel. I push through the doors only to meet a line of league workers, "Can I help you?" I question, "We're under the orders of the Chairman we can't allow you to get to Rose Tower," The man in front states. "Where is Oleana?" I hiss, "Miss Oleana is currently taking a personal day," he informs. What bullshit, Oleana wouldn't do that, not unless...shit.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" I sneer stepping forward, "I'm simply following the chairman's orders ma'am. And as such I've given the access card away to one of my associates so good luck finding it." He chimes, and just like he spoke a cue the line scatters. My instincts flared, I didn't hesitate to pop open my three pokéballs. "Find them." I growl, "Find them all," I hiss, "We're with you Sis! You heard the Queen scatter!" Hop calls. Just like that we launched a city wide search for the fool who had the card. My Pokémon brought in three of them, none of them possessing the card. Marine brings in one with her brother only for him not to have it either, but by the grace of the Pokémon God above Gloria and Hop drag along a woman who just so happens to be the last one and in possession of the card.

"Let's get to the station," I order hurting along the pavement the group right behind me, getting to the station was cake, however I felt my patience start to run then when yet another line of league workers blocked off the entrance. "I got this one, (y/n)." Piers calls, I look at him curiously, only to be mildly shocked to see him whip out a microphone stand and start singing his heart out. It takes a few minutes but he attracts enough attention to cause a horde a people to break through the line in order to get a better view of Piers. I shot him a quick thanks before hurrying the three children along, eager to keep them close as we continued to march to Rose Tower.

Piers eventually caught up by the time we got to the doors, but this time I'm not taking my chances. I stop at the doors and take a deep breath, "You might want to back up." I call to the group. The group took a step back before I pop open two of my three pokéballs. "Za, Doom, I really hate to ask but I need you." I whisper, the rogue monkey presses his forehead to mine as the dark Pokémon presses himself into my legs. "Alright then, Za, Doom." I address softly, my necklace glowing as the necklace around Houndoom starts to glow. "Let's show them the stars." I whisper before pushing the doors open.
