Friends of the Main Cast: Selene Reid

Selene is the child of Cilan and Aria. She’s a perfect mix of both of their personalities, having Cilan’s passionate nature but also his calm, collected and formal side and Aria’s bright personality as well as her energetic and cheerful nature. Much like Cilan she’s a great cook and will often help out in the restaurant along with her father and her uncles. She’s also great with creating performances like her mother. However, she’s indecisive and doesn’t know if she wants to be a performer like her mom or a connoisseur like her father. She did however pass her connoisseur test and is currently an A-class Connaisseuse. When she’s not cooking with her uncles and father, she’ll evaluate the bond between trainers and Pokemon. That’s how she met Ashley and the others, she evaluated their starter Pokemon and they quickly became friends with each other. 

Her main colors would be yellow and green. Yellow represents her optimism and cheerful nature, as well as her creativity and her academical and logical side she inherited from her father as she also believes fact over fiction, she also has some originality as she tries to create her own phrases when evaluating Pokemon and their trainers. However, the yellow also represents how she can over analyze something. Green represents how she emotionally balanced and calm, as well as how she’s family oriented as she prefers to be with her family than with her friends. She also loves nature, as such she loves spending her time outside than inside, she’s sympathetic and compassionate, as well as kind, generous, nurturing and loyal. She’s also dependable, agreeable and a diplomate as she helps others settle any arguments they may have with another person. Her shade of green would be Jade green as it represents her diplomatic side and her generosity as she does things without thinking about getting something out of it, and will humbly decline any kind of reward for what she does unless someone is insistent, she’d also wear Emerald green as it represents how she’s inspiring and uplifting.

When evaluating a Pokemon and their trainer she’ll use examples from nature, such as ‘Your love or your Pokemon is like the fire you have when you’re camping, comforting and warming with a bit of protection. You two are clearly a perfect match~’ Or ‘Your dream is like the sparkling stars at night and they shine brightly, reach for the stars that shine brightly like you and your partner!’

Her Pokemon:

Braixen- Selene always admired her mother’s Delphox and how she can perform in showcases, so when she was given the choice she got a Fennekin that later evolved into a Braixen. Braixen is much like her trainer, cheerful and energetic, as well as being interested in performing. She loves to dress up with Selene and creating performances in their free time together. She likes being groomed by her trainer and loves to look her best.

Roserade- Selene was evaluating a trainers Pokemon team but when she got to the trainers Roserade, she saw a kind of rift in their bond. She saw how nervous and upset Roserade looked and she asked the trainer how did he feel about that Roserade, the trainer then said he found her useless as all she does is dance more than battle and he finds it annoying. Selene responded that he could release Roserade and she’ll be in her care while he can go find a different Pokemon to replace her and she recommended a few Pokemon he could choose from. He agreed and let Selene have Roserade. Roserade was a shy Pokemon but she loved to dance and use her moves as she’s dancing, she was unsure if she wanted to be with Selene but she later warmed up to her.

She has an orange scarf around her neck that she values very much as Selene gave it to her to show her their friendship.

Mothim- Selene had caught a Burmy and she wasn’t sure if she got a male or a female. She got her answer when he evolved into a Mothim. As a Burmy, Mothim was a bit of a glutton and only really wanted to eat anything he would find, mostly honey. When he evolved he lost his gluttony and started taking an interest in performing alongside with his trainer. He’s a loyal and playful Pokemon, though he will get distracted by honey or any kind of pollen from flowers or berries. 

Caught in a Net Ball.

Moves are Quiver Dance, Giga Drain, Hidden Power (Rock), Silver Wind, Acrobatics, Air Slash, Flash, Psychic, Shadow Ball and Tailwind.

Emolga- Selene had found Emolga while it was snowing and saw how cold she was getting, so she picked her up and brought her back home so she can warm up. She had made some soup for Emolga and wrapped her in a blanket to make her comfortable, once she was feeling better and she would let Emolga be on her way once the snow stopped. After a while, Selene and Emolga went back to where she was found and Emolga flew back to her tree. Soon after, Emolga would visit Selene and play with her until she had to fly back to her tree. One day Emolga came to Selene injured and ready to faint, she used the medical knowledge she learned from her father and healed her and learned that Emolga’s tree was taken over by a group of Pokemon she couldn’t beat, so she had nowhere else to go. Selene then offered her to be her Pokemon, Emolga agreed in a heartbeat. Emolga is a sweet Pokemon that enjoys flying around, however she hates touching the ground and would always land on a tree, a tree stump or a rock than land on the ground. She also likes to be helpful, so she’ll use her ability to fly to grab anything high on a shelf.

Slurpuff- Selene was working in the kitchen one day and just saw a Slurpuff drooling while looking at the food, so Selene went out to give him some food. This became a rinse and repeat routine until Selene caught Slurpuff, he didn’t really mind being caught. Slurpuff loves to eat, but he’s very picky and will only eat food given to him by Selene, Cilan, Chili and Cress.

Selene thanked the Ambipom and went on her way. Selene soon met up with Ambipom again to give her a sample of what she made with the help of the berries she had helped her gather, she loved in and soon they had developed a friendship and Ambipom was caught. Ambipom knows a lot about fruits, berries and herbs so she’ll always be with the family to show them which one is the best for any recipe they want to try.

Friends of the Main Cast Trivia

~Selene is the reincarnation of Selene Ketchum, one of Ashley’s original twin sisters. I felt guilty for cutting her from canon and reincarnated her and Stella.

~Selene’s team is based off of the typings that her parents have. 

~Roserade being part Grass type which comes from Cilan’s Pansage. 

~Braixen is of course from Aria’s Delphox. 

~Mothim is part Bug type which comes from Cilan’s Crustle but is a Bug/Flying type like Aria’s Vivillon. 

~Emolga comes from Cilan’s Stunfisk, fits as a Electric type and is the opposite from Emolga’s Electric/Flying type. 

~Slurpuff comes from Aria’s Aromatisse. 

~Ambipom was honestly just there because it fits.

~Chetari honestly isn’t my OC. She belongs to a friend of mine @unknownwolf1996.

~Chetari has a catchphrase she’ll say when someone pisses her off. Her catchphrase being ‘Say goodbye to your kneecaps asshole!’

~The two of us roleplay very often and Chetari’s team often changes. Her team is from the most memorable Pokemon that fit Chetari.

~Loki the Zoroark was a character from an Exploration Team we created together.

~Akamaru the Growlithe was picked because my friend really likes Dog-like Pokemon.

~Blue the Alolan Vulpix was based on a Ninetales she got in Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness that she nicknamed Blue. It fits better for an Alolan Vulpix because of the blue eyes.

~Sunset the shiny Delcatty is based off of Lovrina’s Shadow Delcatty, which is why she was classed as a former Shadow Pokemon.

~Zoey is another Pokemon that @unknownwolf1996 used in Pokemon XD.

~In one rp she was a sassy Pokemon that would help Chetari around when she needed it.

~As the only Pokemon you can catch are Shadow Pokemon, Zoey ended up being a Shadow Pokemon that Chetari purified on her own instead of being given by Ash after she was purified.

~The reason why Ash gave her a Shadow Pokemon in the first place was to test to see if she could help purify Shadow Pokemon.

~Draco the Totodile is based off of a Pokepasta I wrote for her birthday, Draco ended up killing the player in a fit of not wanting to be forgotten. 

~He was recreated as a clingy Totodile that hates it when people are near Chetari.

~Sari the Tsareena was picked because Tsareena are known to be sassy Pokemon and Chetari is a very sassy person.

~The Garchomp and Flygon Chetari’s raised by is a reference to another RP we did. 

~Them almost being turned into Shadow Pokemon and being rescued by Ash is referenced in the same RP we did. 

~Sylvie is a small reference to the Pokepasta Sylveon with the same name but without the self harm and Sylvie was abandoned for not evolving into Umbreon like his trainer wanted.

~Phoenix, Magnolia and Jade weren’t planned until recently.

~Phoenix and Magnolia came from the thought of Misty having kids that didn’t want to train Water types. 

~Both of their names fit the types they want to master. Phoenix being the name of a phoenix and Magnolia being the name of a flower.

~Both Phoenix’s and Magnolia’s color schemes being warm and cool colors as not intentional, the colors just matched their personalities and created their warm and cool color scheme.

~Jade is named after a gemstone which fits as Brock was a Rock type gym leader.

~Jade was going to have Brock’s squinty eyes, but it didn’t look right so I gave her red eyes.

~Jade is an example of looks like the mother but acts like the father.

~Jade can and will flirt with a guy if he really catches her attention instead of just any guy she sees, but if the guy flirts with her back then she’ll get flustered.

~Jade’s color scheme being related to the neapolitan ice cream was unintentional. The colors just fit her too well.

~Oceanus and Coral are the second children of villain teams I created. (Not counting Penelope as N thought what he was doing was right, so I wouldn’t call him a villain)

~The reason why they don’t have a full team of Water types is because both Team Aqua and Team Magma only had one Water or Fire type, respectively.

~Oceanus and Coral both wear the Team Aqua grunt uniforms when they go out, as Team Aqua were never an evil organization (in my canon) no one sees anything wrong with it.

~The twins don’t like Fire type Pokemon. However they will not disregard or belittle someone who does own Fire type Pokemon and some Fire types they have some respect for.

30 Day OTP Challenge: Day 12-Making out

“This is a bit of a reach. A bitter taste.”

Elle giggled, “Just relax. It’ll be over soon. You promised you’d do this with me.”

His breathing was heavy, “Forgive me I’m a little nervous, I’ve never done this before.” 

“You’re doing perfectly fine~” She smiled arms gripping his shoulder. “Put everything you go into it.”

“Ouch!”

“Sorry I got too excited, my bad. Rougher you’re too gentle!”

“But I think I just bit my tongue...”

“Do you need to stop?” She licked her lips, “We can stop doing this this, or at least take a break.”

“No I can handle this, keep going.”

“I’m proud of you~ This is way out of your comfort zone. I have to say I’m impressed.”

“This is more fun than I thought it would be. This taste, this flavor!” He wiped some sweat from his forehead, “I can see why some people enjoy this!” He gritted his teeth, “Hand me the hammer.”

“Sure sure.” She let go of his shoulders and reached toward the table and handed him the object he requested.

“Okay now...a screwdriver.”

“Got it.”

“Done.” Dento stepped back to admire his work; the new shiny door fit perfectly in the door frame. “What do you think? It has a charming and sweet aroma.” He knocked on it for good measure just to make sure it didn’t fall or break.

“I didn’t think you’d be able to install a door with your string bean statue but you did it!” She grinned, “You’re stronger than you look.” She took a deep breath since she was helping him get it in place she was just as tired as him, “Sorry I stepped on your foot, I really didn’t mean to make you bite your tongue...”

“It’s fine. I’m all right.” He groaned and rubbed at his neck, “I think my muscles are sore already though.”

“Do you want some ice?” 

He shook his head, “I think I’m okay. Maybe a little thirsty.”

“Let me get you a drink then. I could use one myself.” She walked over to the kitchen smiling, “It looks perfect! Thanks for your help Dento.”

“You’re welcome~ I’ll admit I didn’t think I could do it either but we pulled it off well.” 

It wasn’t an easy job but working together the couple was able to install a new door in Elle’s house. Making. an. out.

Random Performancetime oneshot

“102. You have a high fever, dear.”

“It can’t be that high!” Elle tried to sit up from the bed, “I-I have to get...” She put a hand on her head; she felt so woozy, her whole body ached. 

Gentle hands lightly pushed her back into the bed, “You can’t go perform today, not in your condition.”

“B-but...” She started coughing, her throat was on fire, “It was scheduled for a while and-” more coughing, “-it’s too late to find a replacement performer.” She sniffed, god she felt terrible.

“I understand that-”

“And I can still smile see?” She grinned only to lose the smile after a couple of seconds as her body was racked with more hacking.

Dento sighed, “But you aren’t at your best, maybe you could make it through but you wouldn’t be in top form. You need to rest and regain your strength.”

“But even you came all the way out here to see me.”

“You can’t help it that you’re sick.” He smiled, “Don’t force yourself, here.” He handed her a cup of a warm steaming liquid. “This honey chamomile tea should be good for your sore throat. It’s true I came to see you perform but now I’m here to help you, if there’s anything you need don’t hesitate to ask.”

“Thanks, love.” Even sniffing the steam seemed to open up the clogged nasal passages a bit. “Find me a stunt double.” She giggled, “I mean yeah it’s against the idol rules but so is dating and I broke that one; totally worth it.” She laid back down her breathing heavy and yawned. “I guess I am feeling sort of tired.”

“Good.” He leaned down and gave his girlfriend a kiss on her burning forehead, “Get some rest.”  

He walked into the kitchen to grab some medicine and his eyes fell on her performance outfit. “Stunt double huh...”

---------------

Elle woke up a couple of hours later, feeling a bit better but still sort of out of it. “Dento?” 

That was weird where the heck did he go? She shook her head and turned on the TV. 

“Introducing Elle, the Kalos Queen!”

She blinked a couple of times to take in what she was seeing. Her boyfriend, dressed as her, quite well she might add, performing on the stage. And the crowd loved it. 

She laughed, he was the one who taught her most of her poses so of course he’d do them perfectly. “Looks like you found me a stunt double after all.” 

[dentos-wife]

I said I’d do this challenge, I’m going to do this challenge let’s see how far I can get and since it’s my birth month why not write about my very small fanbase OTP

Day 1: Holding Hands

“You will?” 

His eyes were shinning in delight thinking about all the exciting places around Luimose City; restaurants, the museum, the special boutique, so many exciting foreign places!

“Of course I will Dento!” She smiled at her friend and winked, “I’ll show you all the best tourist locations.”

“That would be a wonderful taste!” He learned forward and grabbed both of her hands continuing to ramble on and on about Kalos, Lumiose and many other things as his eyes grew even wider in enthusiasm. But Elle had stopped paying attention the moment he took a hold of her hands. 

And it felt really nice. She felt a slight blush upon her cheeks as her thoughts ran wild. She didn’t get to focus on much long as he started to pull away and she tugged forward.

“Elle?”

“Lumiose is a big place you see, so...” She let go of one of his hands and held tightly to the other one, “It’s easy to get lost especially since you aren’t from here. Therefore I um think it would be a good idea to hold hands!” She cursed herself, why was she so nervous all of a sudden? “And remember call me Ellena.”

He nodded, “Okay, whatever you think is best.” He lightly took hold of her hand, fingers lacing through hers. The different contact making his cheeks a little red. “E-Ellena?”

“Yes?”

“It’s a warm and comfortable taste.” He smiled nervously and used his free hand to run it through his hair.

“Hmm?”

“Your hand.”

“I guess that means we should hold hands more often huh?”

Both laughed nervously and walked through the streets of Lumiose, hand in hand.

[dentos-wife]

I haven’t written some fanfiction in a while well okay I wrote some FE stuff but I’m still debating on posting them 

But once @novanoah got me into Bungou Stray Dogs and drew a beautiful picture of it which all of you should seriously check out I wrote a companion piece.

Some notes on the AU in case you have no idea what this anime is to make this crossover oneshot easier to follow

Elle was once the Kalos Queen but had her title taken from her for reasons unknown to her and treated horribly; kicked out of the Performers Association. Even though Unova was considered more violent and not refined as Kalos she fled there feeling she could never show her face in Kalos again. It turns out she has the ability to turn into a Delphox. This is to of course parallel Atsushi’s story of being kicked out of an orphanage and can turn into a white tiger. 

Elle is not Atsushi personality wise at all so it was a little hard to fit her in, instead I went with lost confidence after losing her title but finding her confidence once again.

The Port Mafia who isn’t mentioned in this fic is Team Plasma. Dento was once in the Shadow Triad which was a part of Team Plasma, to parallel Dazai who was once in the Port Mafia

The one thing I’m very uncomfortable with in this show is the suicide attempts and jokes on it, but that’s because I myself used to be suicidal. But it’s also a major part of Dazai’s character. So I changed it to Dento’s hobbies getting him almost killed all the time.

I tried to fit everyone else into the cast but some roles such as Naomi’s insane crush on her brother was also changed because well you’ll see

--------------------

Elle sat up and looked around her new surroundings scratching at her head. After being kicked out of the Performer Association as the Kalos Queen no less, she couldn’t show her face in her home region anymore. So she fled to Unova, to start her life over but after a strange twist of events she ended up being taken in by the Unova Armed Detective Agency.

“I still can’t believe I have the ability to turn into a Pokemon…” She sighed, “ Actually I can’t believe anyone with supernatural powers would actually exist.”

She jumped as a cell phone somewhere in the room went off and frantically turned the whole room upside down in order to find it. Thankfully she got it right as it was about to stop ringing.

“Hello?”

“Good morning!”

“Oh, good morning!” She smiled and held the receiver tight to her cheek. “Did you leave the phone here for me, that’s really nice of you but you didn’t have to do that.”

“Think nothing of it!” The man on the other line laughed, “You also have a change of clothes if you look around but…we didn’t really have anything with a feminine flavor. My apologies.”

She shook her head, “No, don’t apologize. Your kindness is more than enough thank you.”

“Anything for our new member!”

She winced. She met two members of the agency the other day and since she had a supernatural power as well, one of them automatically decided she was a part of the agency now. But…  “Listen about that-“

“Can you meet me outside, Elle?”

“Eh?”

“I have a bit of an emergency and I could really use your help.”

“Leave it to me!”

——————

“You know Dento, when you asked for help this uh…wasn’t what I was expecting…”

“I wanted to see the trains up close! As a metro sommelier it’s always been my dream! So I thought being near the train tracks would give me the best opportunity to see a rare train pass by!”

“Wait. I thought you were a fishing sommelier?” When she first met the eccentric green haired male he was drowning in a river, after trying a new fishing technique, forgetting he had no idea how to swim. He certainly was a character wasn’t he?

“I’m both a metro and a fishing sommelier!” He puffed his chest proudly and then looked at her concerned, “But I’m stuck…and I think a train will come soon.”

She sighed and tried to unhook his coat from the tracks, it was really latched in “There.”

“Thank you!”

“Next time maybe try a different outfit? I don’t want to discourage your hobby of train watching but if I hadn’t been around…”

He laughed, “I know I know.”

“Hey um…” She sighed and kicked her feet lightly, it was now or never. “I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I want you and your agency to know I appreciate and am thankful you want me to join you, but I think it’s a bad idea. I mean…” She put a hand to her heart and looked at him determined. “I have the ability to turn into a Delphox but I can’t control the ability either. I could really end up hurting you guys! Not to mention the trouble I could put you in if I go on another rampage.”

“Well yes that is a possibility.”

“I can’t be much help like that I’d get in the way of your work. I appreciate your offer but I think I’m better suited for some other job, using the skills I know I do have. You know like what Performers do! As the former Kalos Queen anything with that skill set I’d be perfect at!”

“Hmm…I see.” Dento tapped his chin. “Why don’t you come to the agency with me Elle? I know someone there who might be able to help you.”

“Really?”

“Mmhm. Since our agency is so well know we have connections.” He waved his hand, “I’m sure they would know the right person to get you a job.”

“Oh thank you!” She clasped her hands together over his and gave off her once famous smile.

“There might be a test involved however.”

“I promise if it’s what I’m good at I can handle it with ease.” She winked.

“Good!” He cackled, “After all I am Dento~ The one and only who the agency trusts and the populace adores!”

“Is that so?” For some reason she felt kinda nervous.

“There you are, Dento!” A male with black hair and red glasses stomped over in rage coming out of one of the alleyways.

“Cheren?”

“More like the one and only one who we get complaints about!”

“Excuse me?” He crossed his arms, “Since when?”

Cheren opened his book and started reading, “Last week. Could you get one of your employees, he somehow got himself into one of the museum exhibits.”

“Well…“

“A month ago. Some weirdo is running around in a funny costume trying to be a superhero is he one of yours?”

“T-That’s impossible!” He grinned, eyes shinning. “Who knew you were so great at imitating other people Cheren!”

“Are you mocking me?!”

Elle stood there nervously and watched the two fight it out, was taking his help really the best idea?

Cheren shook his head, “I wasted a whole minute dealing with this idiot. But we need to get to the agency as soon as possible, we have an emergency!”

“Oh?”

“A bomber has a hostage and holed himself up in our office.”

“What?!” Elle gasped and placed her hands over her mouth. “That’s terrible! Let me help you!”

Cheren led the way as Dento and Elle followed, this would technically be the first time she would set foot in the agency and she declined the job but, she hated seeing people suffer.

“Do we know what he wants?”

“The president and if he doesn’t see him he’ll blow up the office.”

“Mmm and the president is on vacation. That’s unfortunate.”

The fact he was so calm about a potential bomber was slightly unnerving and a little creepy but Elle figured he probably dealt with this sort of thing before being an agent. They headed upstairs to see the scene in front of them.

A red haired male sat on a desk holding a remote, next to him a bomb and his foot was on top of a purple haired female who had her mouth bounded and her body tied up. The rest of the members of the agency fearfully sat on the floor cowering, frozen in fear.

“I demand to see the president!” The red haired male demanded, “If I don’t, I’ll blow everyone up in flames!”

“How about one of you pretend to be the president instead?”

“No good, someone already tried.” Cheren sighed and adjusted his glasses, “He knows what the president looks like.”

Elle but her lip trying to think of some sort of plan.

Dento tapped his chin, “As a science sommelier I understand. If we could somehow cover the bomb even if it explodes that object would take the impact and it would, mitigate the blow. Unfortunately none of us have an object like that…one of us will have to stop him.”

“Who is the girl?” She looked at the poor captive and her heart went out to her, “Does she have any powers?”

“Her name is Iris, a part time office assistant. Sadly she doesn’t have any supernatural ability.”

“He took someone who barely works here?!” She gritted her teeth, “The coward. If I could control my ability…”

“What do you think we should do?”

“There’s only one thing we can do…” Both of them lifted their hands in a fighting stance.

“Use your abilities?” Elle tilted her head.

“1 2 3, Go!”

“Ahaha I win!” Dento motioned his arms outward, “Go go!”

“Or play rock paper scissors…” She would have laughed if the situation wasn’t so dire; Unovans were a breed all their own.

“Dammit.” Cheren glared at the winner and walked over to talk to the bomber

“Stay away.” The bomber held out a remote, “I only want to see the president I know who you are. Cheren, on the table. Hands where I can see them and no funny business.”

Cheren sighed and sat on the table holding his hands out.

“If you think you can get me to let my guard down think again.”

“This isn’t good. He seems to know everything about everyone in the agency. He’s certainly done his research. If I go I’ll provoke him…” Dento tapped his finger on the floor, “What can we do…”

“I can take the hint. I’ll go.” Elle took a deep breath, “I don’t think I’ll be able to do anything but it’s our only option left right?”

He nodded, “All you need to do is distract him. We can take care of the rest. You’re not from Unova. Just be yourself.”

She gulped, “My smile used to make everyone happy. Hopefully this’ll work…”

She walked out from behind the plant and stepped into the limelight once again and with what could be her final time.

“Oh my goodness! You need to stop this! Just what do you think this will accomplish?”

The bombed turned his head to meet her determined gaze. “Who the hell are you? You’re not with the agency.”

“Indeed I’m not. I was searching for another office and wound up here by mistake oops!” She stuck out her tongue and rubbed the back of her head.

“And what does this have to do with you?”

“I’m here to help you.” Her gaze become motherly and she smiled. “I’m here to give back. I know you don’t want to do this.” She put her hands on her heart, “You have people who care about you right? They wouldn’t want it to end like this for you. I bet you’re an amazing person who just happened to make a bad choice. Please.” She held out her hands like she was performing on stage, “You have so much to live for.”

“Like what?!”

“I’m sure deep in your heart there’s something. A place to live, someone to love, a favorite meal. Think hard about it I know you can find it. Sometimes life gets hard I know, sometimes you’re on the top of the world and they take your crown but. It’ll be okay. It will always turn out okay!”

Dento meanwhile crept nearer as she was talking to him impressed.

She walked closer and took the hand that wasn’t holding the remote “Why don’t you toss the bomb aside and come with me. I promise things will get better okay?”

“I-I…”

“Cheren now!”

Cheren jumped off the table and used his ability, turning a page of his book into a wire cuter and knocking the remote away from the bomber. Then he jumped on him and held his hands behind his back.

Elle breathed a sigh of relief that was really close, she felt bad for him. The other agents clapped for their hero.

But the Cheren’s grip wasn’t strong enough as the bomber managed to get free and kicked his hand detonating the bomb as a countdown started.

“Thirty seconds!”

Without even thinking Elle pushed the purple haired girl out of the way and covered the bomb with her own embrace. She didn’t know if this would be enough to stop the force like Dento suggested but it was the only option she had.

“Elle!” Dento looked at her stunned.

“You idiot!” Cheren screamed

She closed her eyes and waited for the impact. Weird it should have happened by now. Slowly she unclenched her body and blinked her eyes open. “Was it a dud?”

“Geez.” Cheren shook his head, “I figured she was stupid but I didn’t know she was that stupid.”

“That’s not stupid you kid, that’s selfless, right Pod?” Iris, who she pushed out of the way was helped out her binds by the…bomber? He turned to Elle next.

“Yeah. Hey uh…sorry about that. Are you okay?”

She was beyond confused, “Huh?”

“Honestly bro, at first I was concerned what you saw in her but I think I see it now. That was really impressive.”

“Except you’re going to be the hostage next time you pain! Considering you were the one who suggested her, ugh why did it have to be me!”

“Everyone was…in cahoots with each other…” She blinked a couple times in confusion.

“Blame Dento.” Cheren sat up and dusted himself off, “Actually blame yourself for picking the wrong person to help you find a job. What kind of moron would accept his help, you were asking for it.”

“This is the…job?”

Dento winked, “I told you there was a test involved.”

“An entrance exam.” An older male walked into the room from the hallway and patted her on the back, “Since Dento said there was a capable young woman I had him put those capabilities to the test.”

“Oh?”

“I recommended you for hire. Because of the danger you could bring to the agency there was some disagreement on whether you should be with us or not. The exact reason you said you didn’t think you could become a member, actually.”

“Well Alder. Now that the exam is complete what do you think?” Cheren adjusted his glasses, “Pod got a little to into it if you ask me.”

“Sorry I was channeling bro’s movie sommelier tendencies to make myself more convincing, heh.”

“I’m fine with it either way, the lovely lady can make the final decision.” He patted her on the back one last time and returned to his quarters.

Everyone’s faces looked at her in anticipation waiting for her response. She looked away. She didn’t want to turn them down but…

“Elle.”

No she couldn’t hide from everyone either. She turned her head to meet the eyes of the person speaking, the one who suggested her.

“You mentioned you wouldn’t be much help and you’d get in the way but that’s not what happened today is it? You weren’t only able to sympathize and calm down someone upset you committed a selfless act of the highest flavor. Not just anyone would use their body to shield a bomb to save everyone.”

“That’s right!” Iris nodded, “You really impressed me, you know.”

“You’ll be fine. But if you refuse we can’t force you.”

It’s true she had a talent, that she couldn’t use. But she had another talent too, the ability to make anyone smile, the help those in need, a caring mentor like personality. A leader. Having her title yanked from her made her forget, forget the inner talent she actually had. She started to laugh, quietly at first but then full blown laugher. Happy. For the first time since leaving Kalos she felt actually happy.

“No wonder he wants her to join, she’s just as crazy as he is…” Iris muttered.

“No one is as crazy as my brother and you know it.”

She took some deep breaths to gain control again and smiled cheerfully. “I’d love to join you if you’d have me.”

Cheren grunted, “As long as you follow the rules, Kalosian.”  

“Congratulations!” Iris ran over and nuzzled her cheek, “I’m so excited to be working with you!”

“Yeah, it’ll be great to have a new person on the team!” Pod gave a thumbs up.

“Welcome to the Unovan Armed Detective Agency, Elle, we’re happy to have you!”

“Thank you for believing in me.”

“It’s a good thing too because otherwise you’d have to vacate the company dorm and find a job on your own and who knows how long you’d be able to keep it since you are wanted after all.” He gasped, “You could be killed and-”

She laughed nervously as he continued on. It was true this wasn’t what she expected but after leaving Kalos she wanted a fresh start. And what start was fresher than something she never thought she’d get involved in?

30 Day OTP Challenge: Day 26-Getting Married

Also from a headcanon novanoah and I came up with you picking out the theme yet xD

--------

“Elle! Elle Elle Elle!” Serena came running down the halls of the Performance organization in excitement trying to find her red headed friend, and performer. After becoming an A class sommeliere she used that skill to renovate the Performers Association by becoming the head of it as well as a mentor for many young performers soon males would be able to join the event.

“There you are!” She exclaimed when she saw Elle waving goodbye to a young promising performer with a Purrloin of all things ironically. “Elle!”

“What’s gotten into you Serena? You’re practically glowing!” She laughed as Serena ran over and pushed her shoulder

 “A new Pokevision just went up about 5 minutes ago and you have to see it!” She grinned, “It already broke records!” She lead her to a computer and started searching for it.

“What kind of records?”

“It went viral, got the most hits out of any Pokevision in the history of Pokevision in this time period and wow already the hits are still climbing! It already has twice as many from when I watched it and that was about 2 minutes ago!” She clicked the video. “Now watch! Watch!”

“Is that Dento!?” She didn’t have much to question that when she did indeed see her boyfriend putting on performance with his Pokemon team; singing, dancing and all and all looking like he was having a great time. No wonder it had so many views! He was really talented of course. But she knew that. 

Still something seemed a little off about him like he was...nervous or something? She couldn’t understand why, he wasn’t camera shy or anything. 

He finished his act and grinned at the camera, “This performance was dedicated to my queen.” She giggled he was such a cheesy romantic. Her eyes widened when she saw him pull out a ring and get down on one knee. “Will you marry me?”

The video ended and Elle put two hands over her mouth taking in what just happened. He had just...She got out of the chair and whipped around. “I have to find him.”

“I heard he’s staying at Hotel Richissime! Pretty fancy but for the president of the Sommelier Association pretty fitting no?” She put a hand on her friend’s shoulder, “What are you going to say?”

“Yes of course!” She grabbed her purse and ran out to door to the hotel.

“Someone’s getting married~” Serena clasped her hands together.”When you come back we have to discuss wedding plans! Maybe I can help you with your dress!”

“Sure!” And she was out, she had to find him no matter what.

--------

The wedding for the two of them was a huge occasion for family and friends. And it wasn’t so much a wedding at is was a huge spectacular party. There was music, shows and an area where guests could participate with their Pokemon. For bonding time of course. The after party was to be a costume party but the actual marriage ceremony had to take place first. Pod and Corn sat at Dento’s side as the best men and since he had two Elle thought she’d have two maids of honor to match him. And her maids of honor were Serena and Iris. Pansage and Delphox were the best Pokemon and Pokemon of honor respectively

And now both bride and groom stood together as they said their vows and I do’s

“Do you Dento take Elle to be your lawfully wedded wife in richer or poorer, in sickness and health, your truth and ideal, till death do you part?

“I d-”

Iris couldn’t take it anymore she tried she really did but dammit she was hungry. She took at loud bite out of the berry she was holding startling everyone. Dento blinked and turned to glare at her.

“I can’t help it I get hungry when talking about love! You’re lucky I held it in for as long as I did!”

Pod snickered, Serena sighed, The audience thought this was hilarious and laughed and Elle giggled slightly but didn’t care. Nothing could ruin this moment.

30 Day OTP Challenge: Day 25-Gazing into eachothers’ eyes

This is 100% based off novanoah‘s art that killed me AND EVERYONE SHOULD LOOK AT IT

---------

Graduation ceremony was always an important time for young sommeliers and sommelieres. Once the exams were graded prospective sommeliers were given a letter in the mail telling them whether they made it to the next class or not. If they did they received a congratulations and invitation to the graduation ceremony to receive their certificate for the sommelier class they reached. Elle had gone through this twice now. Once getting her first certificate for C class and again for reaching B class. And now she reached A class. And someone was very very emotional over the occasion.

She giggled and squeezed her boyfriend’s hand lightly. “It’s going to be okay Dento. There’s no need to cry.”

“But...” He sniffed, “I’m just so proud of you!” He pulled out his handkerchief and dabbed at his eyes lightly.

“Well if it wasn’t for my incredible S class sommelier boyfriend and mentor I might not even have made it here you know.”

“Elle stop you’re going to make me cry more!” 

Her name was called and she walked over to the stage proudly and received her A class title. She was about to walk away back to her seat but Serena stopped her. 

“Elle! Let me get a picture!” Her friend, the Kalos Queen came to see her graduate and pulled out her phone, “This is a great memory you know and it simply needs one.”

“In that case...” She walked back to the audience and dragged Dento with her, “Get one of both of us.”

“Perfect!”

Elle winked and held her title out proudly as Dento did too but he was still a little emotional there were some tears. Serena snapped the perfect shot and showed it to the couple.

And then her phone rang, she had to go, Kalos Queens were always on call after all as Elle knew well from her time as one.

Iris who also came to give her congrats lightly smacked her best friend on the arm and told Dento to pull it together for Elle’s sake he’s being a kid.

Elle smiled up at Dento and the two shared a moment. She gazed up at his bright green eyes filled with tears and he tried to keep his composure long enough to look back at her happy red auburn eyes. 

And then he picked her up and spun her around as both laughed.

OTP Challenge-Day 10: With Animal Ears

Sequel to Day 2

---

Dento screamed and backed up against the wall fearfully. “Elle it’s bad enough when Iris did it to tease me but this is a flavor too far!”

“Oh come on, I told you it’s to help you and you’ve been doing so well with the plush.” She pouted. “I figured we could try a different approach.” She spun around in her Purrloin inspired outfit. “Besides you don’t think I look cute?” She tugged on the huge cat ears and smiled.

“Next thing I know is you’re going to catch an actual Purrloin...”

“That’s not a bad idea!” She grinned, “They’re common in Unova right?”

“Elle no!” He shivered, “Please don’t bring an actual one into this!”

“Eventually we’re going to have to try that, we gotta get you over your trauma.” She tapped her foot, “It happened years ago, it’s time to let it go.”

“That’s easier said than done...”

“Which is why-” She moved closer and purred, “I’m doing this.”

Dento whimpered and squeezed his eyes shut as she nuzzled his shoulder with her face. Her face that was currently covered in make-up to give her the perfect Purrloin face which was terrifying. 

“Come on~ Open your eyes I’m not going to hurt you.”

“No.”

“Dentooooo-” She whined, “Do you not trust me?”

“It’s not that it’s just-”

“Then I need you to look at my outfit and give me your opinion, I’m thinking of wearing this for a performance you know.”

He sighed and slowly opened his eyes to her toothy grin. “Okay.” He gulped, “Can you back up a little bit?”

“Making you nervous huh?” She giggled and stepped into the middle of the room as Dento caught his breath. Maybe it was just because it was Elle but it actually was cute. The purple flapper dress looked nice with her boots, even the makeup tied the outfit together creating a nice 1920 Unova taste. 

“I feel like I could close my eyes and step into a speakeasy looking at you. The outfit has a certain flavor creating a jazz age flair!” He grinned but then looked at her sheepishly, “It’d be better if you lost the ears and the tail however.”

“But then I’m not dressed like a Purrloin which is the point you goofball.”

He smirked, “I know.”

She snickered as an idea came to her head, “Okay. I guess you’re right.” She removed the tail first and set it on the table. “Better?”

“The ears.” He pointed at his head. 

“Oh you want them on you?” She grinned and took them off of hers and walked toward him, “Sure!”

“No that’s not what I-Elle!” He tried to fight her but she tackled him to the ground and placed the Purrloin ears on his head. 

“You’re too cute!” She patted his head, “Now see you can’t hate yourself can you?”

“This is a bad taste.” 

[dentos-wife]

30 Day OTP Challenge: Day 09-Hanging out with friends

Iris really loved hanging out with her best friend and his girlfriend. For one thing she really liked Elle, she met her by chance when she first became the champion and the performer really helped her out of a jam. She told Dento about it and was surprised to know that he not only knew the girl but was dating her as well! Ever since that when she had some free time she would join them on their excursions. The best part was she never felt like a third wheel she was always included no matter the situation. 

And today the three of them were having a picnic in the park. Axew and Pansage ate some cupcake like item Elle brought. 

Iris grinned staring at the confectionary treat, “How is it Axew?”

“Axew!” Her little dragon give his approval and handed her some of the cupcake. Immediately she popped in into her mouth and Dento stared at her in disbelief. 

“Do humans eat Pokepuffs?” He looked at Elle who laughed.

“I never heard of it happening but it looks like it’s possible. How is it Iris?”

“Delicious!” Her eyes sparkled in delight. “It’s really really good.”

Dento sighed, “Leave it to Iris to eat the food meant for Pokemon.”

“Oh don’t be such a prude, try one!” She motioned to the plate of them.

“I don’t think-” He gasped, “Elle!”

Elle reached down took a bite of one of her chocolate flavored ones, “Huh you know I never thought this would taste good to people but it actually does taste pleasant! Maybe judges in Tripokalons should eat the Pokepuff too!”

Iris laughed, “Right?”

Dento shook his head at the antics of the two girls. But he didn’t get to think on it much when Elle handed him one.

“You’ve been a judge before. Go on and try it.”

He looked at the item in her hand nervously before taking a bite. “Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It has a sweet taste but...” He looked at Elle, “Did you make these with Delphox?”

She smiled, “Yup! Delphox and I made them together we wanted them to be perfect for our picnic today. I figured this would be the first time Axew ever had one.” She winked at her partner, “Looks like it paid off.”

“Delphox!” 

 “I can taste the strength of your bond.” Dento continued, “There’s a hint of spice with the sweetness mixing together to create a unique flavor.”

“Oh really?” Elle clasped her hands together, “This is really interesting I should mention it to the Performance Association. Thanks Iris! I’ll admit I was a little worried when you started eating it at first.”

“Well I can’t pass up food that looks good!”

Dento snorted, “You sound like Satoshi.”

“Don’t be a pain!” She crossed her arms, “Anyway we can’t fill up on these because I brought dessert!” She ran to pick up her basket of berries, “Tada!”

 “Iris...” Dento sighed, “That’s not dessert.” He reached into his backpack and pulled out a basket opening it to a bunch of colorful macarons. “This is dessert~”

“I told you food is better uncooked!”

“Even as the Unovan Champion you’re just as wild as ever.”

“And you’re just as snobbish as ever Mr. S Class.”

Elle watched the two friends banter back and forth at first but then she grabbed both baskets. “I have an idea!”

Dento and Iris looked at each other in confusion as Elle opened a macaron and placed a bit of fruit inside on the filling and closed it back up.

“Why not combine them to make the ultimate dessert?” She took the one she made and ate it. “Mmm it’s really good!” She squealed.

“Combine them huh?” Dento took back his basket, “Iris hand me your fruit.”

“Well I guess it’s a good thing the berries here are so tiny huh?” She handed him the basket, “Do you want some help?”

“I can handle it.” He smiled, “Thanks though.”

“Let me do it with you, since I came up with the idea. If you don’t mind~”

“Can’t argue with that. Maybe this will go faster with two people. Iris why don’t you hand us the fruit and we’ll work with the macarons?”

“Sure!”

Iris hummed happily as she handed to two the berries and they made the new combined dessert. But of course Dento needed it to be perfect so his painful side came out once again. “Hey Elle?”

“Hmm?”

“How do you deal with such a pain?”

“I-Iris!”    

“Hmm well...” Elle put a finger on her chin and tapped it, “Because I don’t think he’s a pain. I find it really cute.”

He paused midway through his actions with a blush, “You do?”

“Of course I do silly!”

“I guess you’d have to, to be with him.”

“Hey!”

Elle put a hand to her mouth to contain her laugher, “I guess so.”

She didn’t think it was possible but someone actually liked Dento’s painful side. Maybe that was why they seemed to be such a great match. Plus Elle seemed to be the only one that could get him to shut up and that silence from the normally chatty sommelier was really nice.  

[dentos-wife]

30 OTP Challenge: Day 6-Wearing Each others’ clothes

Sort of a sequel to this

Dento tried to get up only to fall back into his bed tired and weak. Well there was no way he was going to be able to serve customers today with this sick taste. He tried to move some matted hair out of his eyes, stick to his forehead with sweat. He knew today was supposed to be a big day at the restaurant but if he was sick he didn’t want to pass it on to them. Looks like Pod and Corn would be on their own today.

“Deeeeeento!” 

He pulled the covers over his head, maybe Pod would just get the hint and go away.

“Hey come on bro it’s time to get up! We have a big day today. Since when do you sleep in anyway?” He yanked the covers of his brothers head and blinked. “Are you-”

“No I’m not.”

“I mean you look a little green if you know what I’m saying!” He laughed at his joke as Dento just glared at him. 

“Please Pod I’m not in the mood...” He tried to sit up but that was a bad idea, he was hit with a wave of nausea and put a hand over his mouth.

“You really are sick aren’t you...” 

“I’m surprised you aren’t up ye...” Corn walked in and sat on the edge of the bed, “Can I get you anything? You look terrible.”

“Thanks Corn.” He sighed and laid back down, “No I just want to sleep.”

Corn nodded, “Leave everything to us then.”

“Wait are you serious only two of us?! It’s hard enough with three and our staff is off today Cooooorn!” Pod whined but his pleas were unheard.

-------

“Heeeeello?” Elle poked her head in the restaurant, somehow her schedule got cleared so she came over to surprise Dento. “Is anyone here?”

“Oh man not a customer already...”

“Pod!” The blue haired brother walked out with a smile, “How can we help you miss-”

“Elle!” Pod grinned, “You don’t know how happy I am to see you!”

She raised an eyebrow, “Is something-”

“Dento’s sick and we’re short staffed we need a third person to help out!”

“Pod don’t be rude.”

“Dento’s sick?!” She gasped she really hoped he was okay. She recalled the time he took care of her when she was ill, “Poor dear.” She grinned, “Sure I’ll help out. You need a waitress right?”

“Thank you, you are our life saver!” Pod grabbed her arm and dragged her along, “Let’s get you changed. We don’t have an extra outfit so I hope this fits you okay.”

-----

He wasn’t sure how long he was sleeping but the sounds of someone moving around in his room was enough to wake him up. “Pod...Corn?” He sat up to rub at his eyes only to see...Elle?

“I heard you were sick so I helped out today.” She smiled at handed him a cup of tea. “It was crazy out there but I think I did pretty well.” 

He couldn’t stop staring. The pants, shirt, cuffs, vest and green bowtie, she was in his normal clothes! Her red hair in a side ponytail hanging over her shoulder. “You look nice...”

She winked, “It’s a little big but I think it fits me okay, though it’s pretty hard to beat the time you pretended to be me when I was ill. No one noticed at all huh?”

He tried to laugh but it turned into a cough, “Yeah no one noticed any hint of a suspicious flavor.”

“When you get this back you might smell like a girl, fair warning.” Giggling she kissed him on the cheek, “Now I’m going to take care of you! Relax.”

“Elle you could get sick too!”

“Totally worth the risk. Now then,” she snapped her fingers, “It’s get well time!” And posed, “Huh you know, maybe there’s something about your outfit that just makes you wanna act that way.”

He laughed, she was too cute.   

[dentos-wife]

30 Day OTP Challenge Day 5: Kissing

A long time ago novanoah had a headcanon for a first kiss that I always wanted to write out and hey this is the perfect excuse to do so!

-------

They had been dating for about a couple of months now. Despite it being a long distance relationship between a Unovan and a Kalosian they still found time at least one a week to spend with each other in person. Sometimes Dento would come to Kalos and other times Elle would come to Unova. They did all the silly and traditional couple things; hanging out, going on dates, seeing movies, out to dinner, cuddling, holding hands etc. Except even though they were a super close and super cute little couple, they never actually kissed before. Sure Dento was bothered by his brothers, mainly Pod, to just kiss the girl already but he never felt the need to, the moment wasn’t right etc. That’s not to say he didn’t want to but...because of this romance movies were getting a little hard to watch.

“You don’t mind romance movies do you?” Elle grinned looking at the movie poster. “Diantha’s latest is a romcom. And it’s really cool Unova got it before Kalos!” She was always more open when she was in Unova because she didn’t have to be in disguise and could be herself. Her hair was down like when she was in disguise and she didn’t wear her glasses but she wore her performance turquoise bow upon her head. 

He thought her outfit was a nice mix of her normal wear and performance wear. “As a movie sommelier I enjoy all movies.” He grinned, “I’d wouldn’t mind the taste of a romantic comedy at all.”

“That’s what I figured!” She smiled and grabbed his hand, “I wanted to make sure before I said we had to see this this one. And there are no scenes that should make you uncomfortable I checked to make sure.”

“That was sweet of you!”

“Well the last thing I’d want is to be caught of guard with a super violent scene, I’d imagine it’s the same with you with suggestive scenes.”

He scratched the back of his head, “Sadly you’d be correct.”

She shook her head, “No it’s understandable. Anyway let’s go. As you would say, it’s movie time right?”

He laughed, she was a keeper.

----

The movie in general was really cute, the typical boy meets girl plot. The current scene however was very romantic. And usually he could deal with this and enjoyed it but he looked away slightly as the scene hit its final intensity with a kiss. For some reason or another- 

He snuck at glance at Elle who for some reason was also looking away from the screen until she caught him looking at her causing her to look straight at him. 

Before either knew what was happening they leaned in and met each other’s lips. Noses bumped and it was far more awkward than what was supposed to be the awkward kiss taking place on screen making that look perfect in comparison.

Snickering by someone next to them caused both the sommelier and the performer to jump apart in shock both faces multiple shades of red.

“I didn’t know I paid to see an actual romance take place.” The boy remarked and continued laughing until the people next to him shushed him.

----

Dento had to leave the theater after that surprising flavor, he could barely keep himself together. Elle also left and sat next to him.

Both sat in very tense silence for a while until Elle spoke, “H-how about we try to finish the movie next time we’re free in when it comes to Kalos?”

“S-sure I’d like that.” 

[dentos-wife]

30 Day OTP Challenge- Day 28 Doing something ridiculous

They steal their poses from each other I mean look at the poses. 

--------

“All right!” Dento spun around in a circle “How about-”and ended with both arms cross in front like blades, “This!”

Elle giggled and wrote some notes. “It’s not bad but I did something like that before. Also the arms are too stiff, maybe bend them?” Dento agreed to help the Kalos Queen come up with some more unique poses for an upcoming performance and so the two of them currently 

He put a finger to his chin. “Hmm okay.” He put his hands up in the air and brought them back down in a bent arc and winked. “Something like that?”

She tapped her pencil to the side of her mouth and pouted, “It’s good but it’s missing some extra umph.” She sighed, “That’s exactly how the agency described they want my pose to look.”

“A taste of umph?” He swung his hips and moved his hands up and down, “Why not just dance Elle!” 

“Dento!” She laughed at his silly moves, “Be serious! Any sommeliers, besides you of course, who really go all out in your organization? Maybe we can pull from one of them?”

“There’s only two who I see enough to memorize their moves sadly.”

“Well how about we pull from that, there’s gotta be something in there!”

“Hmm we can try the Cabernet..” He tapped his foot and closed his eyes deep in though, “Let’s see what does she do...

“Something like...” He spun around and kicked a leg in the air holding an arm up. “This...was her old one.”

“Too boring.”

“I figured you’d say that.” He put a finger to his forehead and paced around a little, “I believe she has a different one for her new one. It’s um...” he moved his hands around trying to figure it out. “Oh! Got it!” The sommelier walked back in front of the performer and first hand his hands as fists outstretched them as if holding something and ended with a hand on his hip the other behind his head and winking.

“If this is your competition your general everyday poses are better than this.” 

“I’m afraid that’s all I have-”

“Hold on you said two sommeliers.” She narrowed her eyes, “There’s another one isn’t there?”

Dento kept the arm behind his head and laughed nervously, “Well there is one more but...” He looked away horrified, “No one wants to do that one.”

“But I want to see it!” She crossed her arms and pouted, “Come on Dento.”

He bit his lip, “All right.” He took a deep breath threw on of his arms up in the air put it back down and spun around while furiously gyrating his hips. 

Elle looked on wide eyed and horrified. But she couldn’t look away, “Dento no STOP!”

He finished by holding his arms out to his sides palms both outstretched. 

“W-what was that?!”

“That was the Pinot Noir please never make me do that again.”
