#actor's arc

“You know I am very curious, how do you feel about Pokémon that live in the wild? I admit I always like to wonder how my kind get where they are. I’ve had mixed feeling having lived half in both.”

(Taking place before the Gala)

Wil is surprised to see another Weavile who is lurking at the studio.

Oh, hi! Nice to see you, miss!

There's one?

Yeah, I saw one non-transformed Umbreon with their owner who wears human clothing and tries to stand in two...but sometimes it falls. Anyways, after the Colress incident many years ago and potential extinction of humans the PokéNations stated that all Pokémon have rights not to transform. But still...there some cases here in our world...

Seems Wil starts to think about where did he saw that...

C'mon, Wily... Ain't that important rn?

You're right, Cath. Let's move forward.

I might to do a small studio tour if you want.

He says to Piko with a smile.

Ask hints has been updated. Perhaps you can ask someone else about the illegal experiments.

As Wil sees Yako, he gets enraged.

“YOU… YOU ARE THE REASON WHY I AM ANGRY. YOU ARE VERY HUGE FOR A THIEVUL!!! JUST, WHAT ARE YOU???”

His hand was shaking. He is ready to use a move. He gets nervous because he is facing an alpha Pokémon. However, he hears a familiar feminine voice.

“OH, WILY!!!” a shiny Absol appears, running directly to Wil.

“C-Cath??? What are you doing here?”

“First, I’m gonna ask you: why are you going to attack that huge Thievul?”

Wil scratches his head. “Well, I’m… I want to show how angry I am. And I also don’t like his look.”

“I foresaw the disaster that you are gonna hit him. It might end badly for you, but thank Arceus I’m here to rescue.”

“Fair.” He nods. “Anyway, what brings you to the studios anyway?”

“Oh, I wanna see you at work.”

“Well, it has been months since I’ve been working here and nothing extraordinary for me yet.”

“Did something change between this?”

“Welp, I got the salary raise and my name is at least in the credits.”

“Oh, very nice! Even if it's a small step, it's still a big achievement!”

“So, it’s good to see you here, Cath! It’s been a very while since we last talked. I think it was after my job appointment. I wish to talk to you very often. I made a friend with Rimi!”

“It’s okay. I’m Rimi’s #1 fan too and I’m glad that you and her and now friends!”

“You are still one of the best. I’m just good at making friends.”

Cath smiles at Wil, they both spend the time together at the studio.

“What about a disaster?”

“Eh, it’s not very important anyway! Anyway, Mr. Big Thief.” she says to Yako “I think if I was a casting director, I might hire ya to play in folklore movies.”

Catherine a.k.a. Cath is now ready to shine! She’s available for a limited time.

Ask hints also updated for her.

Bonus under the cut:

While Wil and Cath are touring in the studios, they see a Pikachu.

“Hi! You wanna know how we met? Alright.

We met 10 or so years ago, when we were in school. Wil was a Sneasel back then.”

“We sat together at the desk. We had a chit chat after the class. We also exchanged our phone numbers in the end.

And our friendship has begun. Right, Wily?”

Wil looks gloomy. Cath curiously looks at him.

“Yea, honestly, I kinda don’t want to talk about my past when I was a Sneasel…”

“Why?”

“I'll tell you later, when the timing is right.”

Cath starts to get gloomy too.

“What, that’s my jacket. It may be weird because it’s green and not everyone likes green.”

“Honestly, I need to wear something other than that. Sometimes I get bored of wearing this.”

At Wil’s house.

Wil enters the house.

I’m home, Tim!

Well, it isn’t my mister elegance. How’s the gala? Anything to share?

Well, could be better. I had a date with someone, but Linda…

What about her?

Yea, she appeared out of nowhere cause Rimi got…intoxicated, but somehow recovered quickly.

I see…

Wil tells the incident that happened with Linda.

Honestly I would be angry and ground her for this, but I'm not going to do. Anyway, did she apologize?

Yea. And after that we both left the event. Too bad I couldn’t dance with Edin. Also, I wanna call him to tell I'm home.

Wil checks his Rotie and…

OH NO, EDIN IS NOT ON THE LIST? NOOOOOOO!!! HE WILL BE MAD!

Calm down. It seems you had a long day here. Take a shower and relax, you’ll meet your lover later.

B-but Edin is still in…

I get it, he is still here with his friends. Maybe you’ll meet him again once he's back.

*sigh* You’re right…

"¡Wait, I AM VERY FAMOUS ENOUGH!"

¡Tú, amigo! I understand you want to doubt my fame, but what about your stupid crown you wear? Who exactly are you?"

"You want tricks? ¡Muy bien!"

Diego uses Flower Trick on Destino. A critical hit!

Destino fainted. They fell asleep.

Diego jumps very high and disappears.

"HEY, DIEGO! THAT'S NOT GOOD TO DO WITH THE STRANGERS!!!"

"HEY, ARE YO-"

"Oh, it's just Destino... I think it serve them right!"

MOD NOTE BELOW

"I mean, I do go here every show, only for the band part (with Rimi, Noelle, and Edin). After that, Rimi let go her friends to rest and sings solo (mostly covers)."

"Although, Rimi autograph session is only happens after the full show, so it was very missable for me. For her first shows, I miss Rimi autograph sessions, until the day we became friends."

"You mean Tim? Yeah, he is my foster dad and he is the closest one. I'll show you how he looks like."

"It's an old photo where he just got a job as a teacher in this school."

Suddenly, Tim appears.

"Hello, Wil! Is this a new friend of yours? They look like a fusion of Luxray and Roserade."

"Do you know about the fusions?"

"I read that in the alternate realities there's fusions of different Pokemon and of course the Pokemon that are not officially in the National Dex."

"How many Pokemon officially are here?"

"About one thousand, maybe more. That's including Ultra Beasts, a modified like Mewtwo, Paradox from Area Zer-"

"Thanks, but I don't need more info."

[ @ask-the-rose-court ]

Tim is now ready to shine!
