PokeMovie___

The set was decorated, two big and long couches were present in the middle.

Before the stage were the couches where there was the audience that sat.

On the far left, a single person sofa was placed.

"Welcome back everyone! I have returned because it's obviously the weekend, " A man in fashionable clothes came walking from backstage.

*Claps*

The laugh of the audience and clapping sounds echoed in the set.

"I know that no one is here to see me but still. I missed you all even if I had seen you just a week ago, " The man shook his head bitterly and stood in front of the audience.

The camera angles changed and showed the man from a zoom in.

He is the famous tv show anchor, Girel Soma, also known as "Hello Handsome".

"Tonight, we have some very special guests with us! Let's welcome them!, " The man turned to look towards the direction where he came from.

"Director, Jon Favreau! Assistant director, Roger Allers! The sexy boy, Billy! Our Ice Princess, Snowy! The Rookie Trainer, Kota! Traveler Mera! Little Champ, Ferry!".

As the names were taken, one after the other. The celebrities came in slowly walking.

In his usual white, at the front, stepped director Jon Favreau followed by the assistant director Roger Allers.

Then came Billy and Snowy, at last were Kota, Mera and Ferry.

"Woo! Ice Princess! Billy!, " The audience was packed with the fans of Snowy and Billy.

'Do as I practiced, ' Thought Kota, he smiled lightly at the camera and waved his hand.

When everyone was seated, Soma held a small script paper in his hand.

"So, the trailer of "I will rise: Pokemon Trainer". Has caused a huge sensation in the movie theaters and internet. What are your thoughts?, " Asked Soma as he looked at director Jon Favreau.

"Well, I did expect some heat but this is beyond what the line was, " Director raised his hand and made an imaginary line in the air.

"And Snowy, what's your thought?, " Soma smiled at Snowy while waiting for the reply.

"I think it is good, " Said Snowy, smiling back at Soma and making him mesmerized.

"Ahem!, " Mera fake coughed and brought Soma back to reality.

"Oh, Mera! You are a travel vlogger right? How did you get a chance to play the role in this movie?, " Asked Soma as he looked at Mera but not forgetting to get a glance at Snowy.

"I obviously took the audition and got selected unlike a certain particular person who just happened to be on the right moment, " Said Mera as he elbowed at her left, as for who it was for, everyone looked.

But then they could only shake their heads, because it was Kota and he had a very serious face.

"You have to relax, Kota, " Said Billy, Kota nodded his head and took a deep breath.

Yet, there was almost no change in Kota's expression.

"This is how normally I am, " Kota looked at Billy and said, making the other flick.

"He is different, maybe an alien in disguise, " Mera joked, making the others laugh.

"Ha…ha, " Kota forced a short laugh. The show shooting continued till 2:30 a.m.

Offstage___

Ferry and Kota sat together as they ate their meal. Mera had already gone to sleep like Billy and Snowy.

"Dude, aren't you tired?, " Asked Ferry, he stared at Kota who seemed to be still fresh.

"I can stay awake for three days straight, " Said Kota while picking up a slice of the giant pizza.

"You really are a monster like everyone says, " Ferry felt scared staying together with Kota as if he would become a monster himself.

"Who does?, " Asked Kota while raising his eyebrow at Ferry.

Ferry is playing the role of a friend of Billy in the movie who died.

He is only two years older than Kota, being at Eighteen as a young adult.

Kota and Ferry become very good friends while they meet in the studio.

"From the moment of your first appearance and the video that Mera shared, " Ferry took a bite of the double cheeseburger and said.

"I am a human, not a monster. If I were one, you would have been inside my stomach long ago, " Kota shook his head and ate the pizza slice.

"By the way, you are participating in the Indigo League right?, " Ferry looked at Kota and asked, to which the latter nodded.

"I hope you win, " Said Ferry, as he finished his burger and laid back on the sofa comfortably.

"That's inevitable, " Kota stared blankly at the last slice of the pizza.

*Zzz*

Kota turned to look at Ferry, only to find him already asleep from exhaustion.

With the help of some workers, Kota put Ferry in his own vanity van.

He is currently in Hollywood, a special location in the Kanto Region.

It is a very big town full of celebrities, many rich people and also high officials.

Spending another week to go from one show to the other for movie purposes.

Kota was finally free. Taking the route to Pallet Town, Kota headed back to his house.

On the way, he met a few familiar people as he greeted them and said farewell.

When he reached Pallet Town, it was almost the time for the Indigo League to start.

Three more months for the tournament, Kota was also excited like any other person.

And, within this month. Ash and Gary had their birthdays coming.

Pokemon World, is real. And Kota excepted it because of many reasons.

One being that Ash and Gary or any character from Pokemon World ages.

Kota has seen Ash grow from a five years boy to a ten years but still a boy.

As for his birthday, Kota doesn't remember or wants to remember it.

For it reveals Kota that he is also aging and like the real world in his past, he will die.

After all, no one can escape Death. Be is the God himself or his creations.
