*"Famous" YouTuber, Tenshi Mizu would be down by the Snack Booth in the Island, a place where a line had been formed. It was perfect for her to find unsuspecting victims and interview them. Her plan was perfect! Perfect and evil! The island was full of famous stars, she was bound to stumble upon one. With her camera in hand, Tenshi Mizu would press record and poke the last in line.* "Hey mister, do you have some time for us?"
Phillip
"Eh?" ``Sawaturyo questioned as he turned around with Cloverfield, his Kirlia, sitting on his soldier. He began thinking for a second.`` "Yeah, I got a bit of time. We have a bit of a line to go. Name's Sawaturyo, or Sawa for short, hey wait a second... I feel like I've seen you before, you're that one YouTuber, Tenshi right?" ``He questioned.`` *[Haha! A bit of exposure for myself, this is great for publicity for my and my account.]* ``He said in his mind. Meanwhile, Cloverfield exhaled, feeling fed up about this, it just wanted snacks, not an interview.``
Tiffani
"Huh, you know me?" *Tenshi would smile. This was the first time she had ever been recognised in public with her videos being more of a laughing stock than anything else. She'd start giggling uncontrollably, hiding her face in her shirt.* "Oh my god, you recognise me. You must have seen that Galarian Zapdos video or one of my curry videos, right? One day, I'm gonna be really popular."
Phillip
"I've seen one or two of your videos... Yeah, it was that Galarian Zapdos video and I think something else. They need a bit of editing and maybe a tad bit of audio fixing. I'm surprised there's a different form of a Zapdos out there, it's... Shocking to say the least. I could give you a bit of editing advice. I've had a small expertise in editing on one of my accounts. The thumbnails could use a but of work as well in all honesty. You've got room to improve, but that's good. I'm shre you'll be really popular, like myself." ``He explained, while Cloverfield just looked off to the side on Sawa's shoulder.``
Tiffani
*She'd sit back, listen carefully and record him to have this all in tape. But one thing puzzled her. Tenshi would scratch the back of her head. What did she mean by really popular? Was that an opportunity to gain some more Subscribers?* "So, you're popular? You remind me of someone but I'm not sure you're him, you know, that Pokegram influencer, Shining Sawaturyo."
Phillip
"Bingo, that's me. I did say my name was Sawaturyo, right?" ``He asked, just in case.`` "I am indeed Shining Sawaturyo, in the flesh... And the snack booth." ``He said a bit embrassed of that last part.`` "I'm surprised you didn't recogniee me as soon as I said my name, honestly. I'm wearung the same stuff I normally do, right...?" ``He questioned, turning to Cloverfield, who just nodded that he was indeed wearing the same clothes he normally does.`` "You're the first person who's actually recognised me... Aside from my own Elite 4 teammate, Caitlin." ``He told her, admittiing that no one even batted an eye that it was him.``
Tiffani
"Come on, **Mister Shining!** ", *Said Tenshi clearly teasing him, seeing he thought highly of himself. But then again, so did Tenshi.* "And you're not a champion, Sawaturyo, you're simply a Elite Four." *Kinda idiotic how a ****MINOR*** Division Gym Leader was telling him that. It was pretty ironic.* "Don't be sad though, want to grab something together?"
Phillip
"I meant as an online presence, not as an Elite 4 member." ``He said, chuckling a bit as she called him Mister Shining.`` "I was just grabbing some food for Cloverfield over here." ``He pointed his thumb at Cloverfield, who just looked at Tenshi before tilting its' head in a bit of wonder.`` "Also an Elite 4 is very important, it's like a ladder before the Champion." ``He simply explained.`` "But yeah, I won't mind grabbing something to eat."
Tiffani
"Great, what do you have in mind?" *Tenshi would comb her hair, wanting to look as good as she could. After all, the camera was running. All on its own, a Delibird would come out of a Premier Ball, snatch the camera off Tenshi's hand and start recording.* "So, Sawaturyo, how's being an Elite Four Member? I'm assuming it's better than being a minor division Gym Leader." *Tenshi would cutely giggle, covering her face up using her hand.*
Phillip
"Well, I think Cloverfield would like some breadsticks, cheesesticks- whatever they're called. I'll just have some cake. I'll pay for us, if that's alright." ``He said, taking out his wallet and tallying up what the breadsticks and a chocolate cake, which wouldn't be too much.`` "What do you want?" ``He asked her, turning to the counter.``
Tiffani
*Tenshi would make a sarcastic joke about him taking his wallet and reply with a smile on her face.* "Oooh, we got a big spender. Just get me whatever you think suits me." *If Sawaturyo got her anything sour or bitter, she'd get mad at him. She was expecting something sweet, sweet enough to ruin her teeth for all of eternity.*
Phillip
``Sawa gulped at that, he just met the kid and barely knew what she would want. Maybe a chocolate cake, with extra sauce would do better. Yeah. That'd be good. As the line moved to Sawa, he began speaking.`` "A couple breadsticks, a chocolate cake and a chocolate cake with extra sauce please." ``Sawaturyo said as he paid for the meal and sat at a table, Cloverfield still somehow sitting on his shoulder.`` "I ordered, come sit down, Tenshi." ``He simply said.``
Tiffani
"Yeah, that's good enough." *Tenshi smiled, happy to have gotten the impression of a sweet girl. She'd go over and sit down with Sawaturyo at a nearby table.* "So, what are you looking for in this Island? I'm trying to interview you know, famous Trainers, maybe even find Leon or someone like him and have them cook curry together. I've been doing this YouTube shenanigans for 5 years, it's about time I go big, don't you think?"
Phillip
"**Phew.**" ``He said relieved, nut decided to answer her question.`` "Well, I was looking for a break really, challengers have gotten a bit boring. You definitely could make it big in my opinion, as big as me maybe. A few tweaks could be made really. Like I said esrlier with the editing and thumbnails." ``He told her.`` "I know that editing softwares are expensive, but even free ones can be good, or wait for them to be on offer."
Tiffani
"Dude, Youtube is **SO** Expensive! I'm still using the same camera I have since the beginning and only recently, I bought a microphone but it's scratched and makes a weird noise." *Tenshi would look at him with a great idea on her mind. He was an Elite 4 Member, he was making more than enough.* "Can I marry you, divorce you and get half of your money, please?"
Phillip
``Metaphorical glass shattered behind Swaturyo.`` "What!? No!? You're like way younger than me! That'd be weird, I just met you!" ``He said, panicking.`` "That's so weird!" ``He said, worrying. Cloverfield chuckled a bit behind its' hand.`` "How old even ARE you!?" ``He questioned.``
Tiffani
*Tenshi would laugh once again, did she really look that young or was Sawaturyo teasing her? Tenshi was 21 years of age but people that didn't know her viewed her as a teenager. Perhaps, the terrible acne, her immaturity, who knows? She'd start choking on her cake from laughing too hard, hitting herself on the back.* "Way younger? I'm 21, **AHAHA!** Do I really look like a schoolgirl?"
Phillip
``Sawa's eyes widened at that.`` *[What the hell!? She's older than me! She really does look like a schoolgirl!]* ``He said in his mind.`` "Yeah... I generally didn't expect you to be that old!" ``Even Cloverfield choked into laughter, eating its' breadsticks.``
"But still, absolutely not, I barely even know you." ``He said, getting back to normal as he bit into his own cake.``
Tiffani
*Tenshi would facepalm. It was meant to be a joke. She'd start laughing, hiding her eyes with her hand. How come Sawaturyo thought she was old at the age of 21? Like most people, Tenshi was self conscious about her age and Sawaturyo's comment certainly didn't help her case.* "I was kidding, ugh. And I'm not **THAT** Old, you're only 19."
Phillip
"N-no, I meant... In comparison to what I thought you were..." ``He said, realising he was wrong about calling her that old.`` "You better have been kidding, though. My standards are too high, someone like you couldn't possibly be with me." ``He said, teasing her, chuckling a bit in his mind, while Cloverfield just sat there, calming down from laughing and continuing to eat its' breadsticks.``
Tiffani
*Tenshi would giggle, covering her mouth with her hand. She didn't know whether he was being serious or not and wanted to believe the first, otherwise she would have slapped him. He was way out of her league? Who did he think he was? He looked like a boy band reject. Time to turn the tables and for Tenshi to tease him.* "Have you looked at a mirror?"
Phillip
"Yeah, I have and I can confirm that I'm out of your league by a long shot. You couldn't even come close to what I had in mind. Status-wise too, I'm out of your league." ``He said, putting on that of a smug smile to go with what he said as well. Having to turn the tables back on to someone turning the tables, was a bit weird in all honesty, but it was some sort of a comeback.``
Tiffani
*Tenshi would have an evil smile on her face, a demonical one. What was her mind up to? Of course, she would hate being teased but had to bare up with it because it was turn-based, kinda like Pokémon battles. And now, it was time for the Counter.* "Wanna try dating someone way below your league?" *Tenshi would start cutely giggling, hiding her idiotic giggle with her hand.*
Phillip
"Nope, I have before and I never will again." ``He lied, like a liar. He hadn't been in a relationship, mainly cause of his personality and the fact he was a region-hopper by force. Not even the 'great' Sawaturyo could hold up a long-distance relationship if he ever had one. He tried to keep his lie as best as he could, succeeding for the most part.``
Tiffani
"Hm, I don't know man, you seem pretty sus to me. Are you sure you've dated in general?" *Tenshi would start laughing. He looks like the type to be changing women as often as one changes underwear. Bad boy, Elite Four member, he was probably taken.* "I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding. So, do you have a girlfriend or something?"
Phillip
"Hahahaha! Yeah, I do." ``He lied, again. He had to think quick.`` "She's so sweet and kind, she has brown hair and green, she's just great." ``He made up a fake girlfriend practically on the spot, how quick of him to come to these things.`` "I get you were joking but no matter what you could've done, I was already taken." ``He was such a good liar, hopefully.``
Tiffani
*Tenshi would give him the Dwayne the Rock Johnson look. Did he just describe Tenshi? Oh my god, he's such an idiot.* "Oh really? Tell me more. I love a good romance story, how did you two meet? Did she by any chance try to interview you at a snack booth?" *That moment, Tenshi started hysterically laughing. This guy was the world's worst liar.*
Phillip
"Pahahaha! You think I meant you! That's literally just a coincidence." ``He explained, while still lying.`` "I met her back in Sinnoh, when I first got there, she's actually here, by the way. I don't know where she is right now, probably shopping... That was the last thing she told me before going out." ``He realised he should get back on topic.`` "Throughout my travels in Sinnoh, and by that I just mean making my way to a city, where I live now, she was looking to get to said city, so the two of us bonded over Pokémon and common interests and after a few days when we got there... She kind of admitted her feelings to me." ``He said.`` *[Wow, Sawa. What a good lie, man you're so good at this!]* ``He told himself in his mind.``
Tiffani
*That story actually sounded believable. Was he telling the truth? Perhaps, it was best to back off and keep her distance. She felt bad for flirting someone else's boyfriend, what if she was in her place? Maybe changing the subject would be ideal.* "So, got any cool stories to tell me from the time you were traveling?"
Phillip
"Well, yeah. The time I met Ryoga, my Gabite. I was preparing myself for any new challengers in the Elite Four. At the time, I was exploring a cave, I read online that some cool Pokémon could be found there, and when I entered I was quote on quote, introduced to a pair of Onixs attacking a small Gible. I sent out Ebirah, my Crawdaunt. He fired off a Hydro Pump to have em faint. They were pretty weak, honestly. Ryoga wanted me to take him back to his family, I think?" ``He attempted to remember.`` "So I guided him through the cave and- oh right, it wasn't his family, but a group of friends. By the time we got there, he evolved and stuck with me." ``He said, reminiscing and smiling.``
Tiffani
*Tenshi would smile despite finding him a boring narrator. She didn't want to tell him that, keeping her silence. She pretended to like the story, nodding her head enthustiacally and making overexaggerated noises, something Sawaturyo could probably tell.* "Wow, so interesting. Do you still have him in your team?'
Phillip
``He felt a bit appalled how she was exaggerating stuff.`` "He's backup, not in my main team, but I do carry his ball with me. I let him out every now and again, he likes roaming around a lot. Also you don't need to do that, I'm not telling you a life changing story." ``He said, a bit fed up how she was mocking his story.`` "It may not be important to you, but you DID ask."
Tiffani
"What the, dude? I'm a YouTuber, we overexaggerate stuff. Haven't you seen my videos? 95% of them are clickbait." *Tenshi had a tendency to lie in her video titles, something that occasionally backfired, receiving a lot of hate comments about it and dislikes. But hey, every kind of attention is positive. She wanted to make it seem as she wasn't mocking him although she was.*
Phillip
"Sure, sure." ``He said as he took a final bite out of his cake before wiping his mouth with a napkin.`` "I saw 2 videos, and those ones were actually, believable. Still a bit rude to do that to someone's story, though. I wouldn't do it to your story in all honesty." ``He said, generally being honest with the not over exaggerating stuff in her story thing.``
Tiffani
*Tenshi would feel a bit bad about the whole situation. She'd start biting her nails, a bad habit of hers and apologize to him.* "Oh, hey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, you know, make you feel bad. What can I do to make you feel better? Do you want me to interview you you or something?" *The business mind, Tenshi tried to make the best out of the situation, hoping to get an interview out of him, at the very least.*
Phillip
"It's fine now really. All I wanted was an apology out of you, really. You don't have to do anything, really." ``He said sincerely. An unintentional hook, line and sinker. By accident too. She got tricked, accidentally and unintentionally.`` "Heh." ``He just simply chuckled, while having a smile across his face.``
Tiffani
*She found his chuckling weird, why did he even do that? Was that really necessary? It made her raise an eyebrow and look at him, weirdly. Her insecurities started to kick in, making her wondering why he did that.* "Hey dude, what's the chuckle for? Do you hate me or something?"
Phillip
"Not really. I just kind of accidentally made you apologise, like an accidental trap, that and I thought of something in my head that was funny." ``He just simply said.`` "Is there anything else you wanna know?" ``He asked as Cloverfield downed the last breadstick, then looking at Sawaturyo, as if to say it wanted more. He exhaled as he got another waitress over and asked if he could get a few more breadsticks.``
Tiffani
*Tenshi would lightly shove him, smiling at his face. That scum!* "You, you scummy brat, why did you do that for? You're making me look like a villain in front of so many people." *That Sawaturyo, ahhhh, so evil, so cruel! In this situation, he was the real villain, not the innocent Tenshi!*
Phillip
"Hahahaha!" ``He simply laughed.`` "You are the villain though." ``He joked once more. A waitress brought a few more breadsticks, Sawaturyo placed them in front of Cloverfield, before thanking the waitress.`` "Can't believe I got you with that trap, unintentionally too. And I still can't believe you fellf or me having a girlf- oh no." ``It slipped his tongue now, what would happen now? Maybe Tenshi would make fun of him?`` *[Dammit Sawaturyo, you went too far ont hat one!]*
Tiffani
*Tenshi would start laughing hysterically,causing the waitress to turn around and stare at them. Tenshi didn't see it though, laughing so loud, most people were watching her. Ah, it was too funny to her. How the mighty have fallen! The Shining Sawaturyo caught lying and on camera? She'd gently push him away and go back to laughing.* "AHAHAHA, imagine lying about having a girlfriend, lol, get pown'd, bro!"
Phillip
``Sawaturyo felt embarassed now. He looked away from Tenshi.`` "I had to make it up or you would've made fun of me for not having one, and thus this is exactly WHY I lied." ``He said, referring to her vicious mockery.`` "Tch." ``He bit one of his nails as Cloverfield just looked up at Sawa, finishing it's breadsticks before hopping out of the seat and leaping back onto Sawa's shoulder. Sawa slowly began to walk off, a bit angry.``
Tiffani
*Tenshi would chase after him, feeling bad for embarrasimg him in front of all these people. She'd pay for her cake, leaving a generous tip and catching up to him, grabbing his arm from behind.* "Hey, you walk fast, bro. Phew, glad I caught up to you. You know, I'm mocking you for lying about it, not because you don't have a girlfriend, dumbass."
Phillip
"Still... To be made fun of in front of a lot of people, not a good feeling y'know... And with how you worded it, you sounded like you did." ``He said as he continued pacing, a bit faster this time. Cloverfield turned and shook its' head at Tenshi, a bit disappointed.`` "How would you feel if I humiliated you for not having a boyfriend-" ``Something clicked in his head.`` "You make fun of me for not having a girlfriend, yet you don't even have a boyfriend do you." ``He said, turning the tables once more with a sick, twisted smile.``
Tiffani
*Tenshi would start following him, walking bhind him. She'd scratch the back of her head and give him a honest answer on whether she had a boyfriend or not.* "Uhm, yeah, no, no, I don't have." *She wanted to slap and wipe that smile off his face but words could be hurtful as well.* "Seeing as you are an arrogant liar, I can see why you're single." *This got personal way too soon. It felt like a battle was about to commence between the two and I'm not talking about a Pokémon one.*
Phillip
"Haha, I knew it. Also, arrogant liar? I only did it to protect myself from being humiliated. You on the other hand, publicly humiliate people for the slightest slip-up for defending themselves for not wanting to be humiliated. I can see why you don't have a boyfriend." ``He simply put it.`` "The real reason why I do't have a partner is when I was young, my family was constantly moving regions, so I wouldn't have had enough time to establish a relationship, and if I did, I couldn't handle a long-distance relationship, no one can." ``He explained fully.``
Tiffani
*Tenshi would rub her arm, feeling like a total fool. Guess she shouldn't have judged a book by its cover. She'd extend her arm and wait for Sawaturyo to shake it. It was time to put an end to this and act for once, mature. She'd make eye contact and smile.* "Truce?"
Phillip
"Truce." ``He said, shaking it.`` "Well, that was a rollercoaster of emotions." ``He continued, breaking the handshake with Cloverfield once more looking at Tenshi, before smiling.`` "Well, I think it's time I head off back to my room, I got some important stuff to attend to. And don't upload that video, please. I don't want to be come a laughing stock form my own fans." ``He asked politely.``
Tiffani
*Tenshi would smile and look away, rubbing her arm.* "Yeah, I'm not going to do that, I don't want to embarrass you." *Despite being a YouTuber, Tenshi still had a bit of dignity left, not fully wanting to embarrass him more than she already had.* "So, bye, I guess. Do you have a Phone number? We can hang out again, if you want to, that is."
Phillip
``Sawa let out a sigh of relief.`` "Yeah, I do."``He scribbled down his phone number on a piece of paper, he always carried a piece of paper and pen, just in case someone wanted an autograph.`` "There's my number, and thanks. I'm sure we can hang out sometime. Cya." ``He said as he turned around and started walking off as Cloverfield still sat on his shoulder.``
