Reader POV
After a long day of walking, we had stumbled into a town, the streets were decorated with spooky festivities. It was obvious that it was the Gouregiest Festival but the others didn’t realise. As we walked into the pokemon centre, burse joy was playing it up with her wigglytuff and was impersonating it. I explained the Gouregiest festival to the others as they were clueless.
“The Gouregiest festival is an annual festival in this part of the Kalos region. We dress us and go around to the neighbourhoods and do trick or treating. We did it in Anistar city, however I wasn’t allowed to go, but I always made a costume every year.” I chuckled. “Please you guys! Can we please take part!?”
“Yeah!” Bonnie rejoiced.
“That settles it! Let me handle this!” I chuckled. I had a vision for my costume, it was going to be awesome.
After a while, Everyone’s costumes were created and on the correct person. Clemont the Watchog. Bonnie the Ludicolo. Ash the Snorlax. Serena the Florges and me, the amazing and beautiful Meloetta. My costume had the most thought into it by far. I had a short dress on which sloped down to the left. To sinch the waist, I had a green belt to match with the theme. I had white thigh high stiletto boots on, with matching nails. My makeup was a mix of green hues and a striking coral lip. To top it off, I had a light green wig glued on to match the look perfectly. I also had a white fur coat because it was cold.
Everyone’s jaws dropped to the floor as I walked out of the changing rooms. Panpour was dressed to look like Hoopa, with many rings and a completely different colour pallet.
“Wow Y/n! You look like a completely different person!” Clemont blushed.Â
“Thanks a lot, this is the wonders of female impersonation, but it is just a costume so…” I chuckled. “Lets get going!”
After we’d got into the town centre, a bunch of kids ran up to Bonnie. They gave her a sweet treat.
“What’s this for?” Bonnie asked.
“Give them this.” I handed her two treats.
As soon as bonnie handed them over, the kids ran off.
“Its kinda a competition to trade as much candy as possible.” I giggled, looking at the many people in the town.
“Lets split up and get as much candy as we can!” Bonnie cheered.Â
“I’m coming with you Bonnie.” Clemont sighed.
“Hey, I’ll go with her, go chill with the others, trust me Clemont.” I patted his shoulder.
“Really? But don’t you want to have fun?” Clemont whispered in my ear.
“This is my fun Clem. I didn’t get to experience this as a child, so I want to experience it now.” I said.
“Thank you Y/n, I appreciate it.” The watchog hugged me as we parted from each other.
“Lets go Bonnie!” I cheered as we ran through the town.
As we walked through the town, I felt slightly uneasy. I felt like something was following us, watching us. I looked down at Bonnie and she didn’t seem to care. That was until she almost got hit by a bullet seed. I quickly pulled her back, just to notice that we were surrounded by Gouregiest. Ghost types! My worst nightmare!
“Panpour! Use Ice beam!” I shouted. However before Panpour could land the hit, it was taken down by four shadowballs. I quickly grabbed my friend before the two of us were put into cages and transported somewhere.
As Bonnie and I had stopped being transported, I heard talking. It was quite scary. Suddenly, the huge tarp was ripped off of the cage, it revealed team rocket in costumes and also a small chubby man, who kinda resembled a pumpkaboo, which was ironic since he had a pumpkaboo and a band of Gouregiest.
“Give that Altaria back right now you thief!” The small man banged on the iron bars.Â
“Pfft! Thief! I’ve been called a lot of things but thief is a new one. Nice try bud.” I chuckled.
“OH GOD! ITS A MAN!? OR IS IT?” The small bloke stood back and laughed. “I can’t believe I’m talking to one of “those” people.”Â
“What’s he talking about Y/n?” Bonnie tugged on my dress.
“This bigoted asshole has never seen someone like me before.” I said to her.
“How dare you speak to a child in that manner you queer!” He threw a glass at the cage and it shattered. Bonnie cowered in fear.
“Take my fur Bonnie.” I gave her my jacket.
“People like you should be dead! Not having such a pokemon like an Altaria!” The small man remarked.
Within seconds, the others came to save us. They got caught by the same trap as Bonnie and I. But when we were released, after Jesse’s pumpkaboo evolved into a Gouregiest itself, Team rocket had revealed themselves once more.
“Oh so you wanted my Altaria!?” I said. “Well your going to get a Panpour instead!”
“Gouregiest! Use Shadow ball!” Jesse shouted.
“Panpour! Use Acrobatics!” I ordered.
“Inkay use psybeam!” James smiled.
“Bunnelby, dodge it and use double slap!” Clemont came beside me to help me out.
“Leech seed.” Gouregiest followed Jesse’s orders.
“Panpour, Use Ice beam!” I shouted. However, something was off with this ice beam, it wasn’t an ice beam! It was much stronger, it was Blizzard. I was so happy that Panpour learned a new move. It was also a direct hit. “Panpour! Use Blizzard! Encore!”
“No holding back now!” Serena shouted, we all then hit the final attacks on team rocket. As they were sent flying we all cheered.
“I am very sorry to you.” The man looked at Clemont and the others. “Please come dine with me, the four of you, apart from you.”
He looked at me up and down and then had ordered me off of the premises.
“Y/n, don’t you dare move.” Clemont said. “Why can’t he join us?”
“Because he’s a queer, dressing up as a woman. Its sickening and it should be dead.” The prince of the town remarked.
“Shut up.” Clemont chuckled. “Do you realise how bad you sound?”
“That is my opinion that you can’t take away from me.” He said.
“Just because you have an opinion, it doesn’t mean that it should dictate other peoples lives.” I said.
“Yeah. Also, queer people have been fighting for rights since the idea of being gay ever existed, the Lumiose City Wall protest changed it for queer people so that it gave them the ability to be free. Its pivotal, and people like you strip those who dance to a different drum.” Clemont’s words shocked me. “And with that said, I hope you realise your mistakes, because we’re leaving.”Â
We all left him speechless, it was awesome. When we were out of earshot, I said to Clemont.
“Thanks for that, also, I’m sorry about Bonnie.” I said.
“Its fine, I think she actually enjoyed it.” He chuckled. “Also, when I left to train for Ash’s battle with me, I had the time to look up what it really means to be queer, and I really want to learn more about it.”Â
“How come?” I asked.
“Oh! Just reasons….and research!” Clemont blushed violently. “Yeah….just research….and reasons…”
“Cool, if you need anything, speak to me.” I chuckled. We then continued with the rest of the night how it was supposed to go. Fun.
