21 Chapter 21: The Producer & Child Actor

As I looked at Hilda I grimaced a bit on the inside.

Namely because I used her many times in my past life as fap material. Now here she is, standing in front of me.

I gave her a silent apology in my head for my actions.

Hilda looked between Elesa and I several times. But eventually her eyes settled on Dragonite.

After that she nodded and muttered something to herself before walking right up to me.

"I take it you are the Dragonite's trainer?" She asked.

"That's right. My name is Ezra, and you are?" I asked.

When I did so Hilda reached into her pocket and pulled out a business card, handing it over to me after she did so.

"My name is Hilda White. Founder and owner of the BW Agency. A talent agency specializing in pokemon." She explained.

I nodded, taking note that her name is a combination of her game and manga counterparts. She seems to have also already founded the company she did in the manga.

Which ended up being quite successful if I am remembering right.

"Ezra, your Dragonite. I was wondering if it might be willing to do some work for my company?" Hilda asked. "Of course we can work out a contract, but I would really like to know if it would?"

"Ok. But can we slow down for a moment." I said. "My girlfriend and I have been walking all day and we're pretty tired."

Which is not a lie.

"Right. Sorry." Hilda said, backing up. Getting a faint blush on her cheeks as she did so. "Seems I got carried away again."

'Again.' I thought.

I wonder how often she gets 'carried away'.

"So yeah, please excuse me once more." Hilda spoke. She then turned to Elesa. "And hello."

"Hello. The name is Elesa." Elesa said.

"Nice to meet you-Oh my gosh. It's you!" Hilda suddenly screamed. "Sawsbuck girl." She said.

When she did so I titled my head in confusion.

"Sorry, what?"

"Nothing!" Elesa shouted. "It's nothing Ezra." She said. Nervous as she did so.

Ok, now I really want to know what Hilda is talking about.

"Hilda, what do you mean by Sawsbuck girl?" I asked.

Hilda then turned to me and took out her phone.

She then fiddled with it for a moment before turning it in my direction.

When she did so I saw a commercial playing, and in it is Elesa.

Well she is younger, I'd say about five or six but it is definitely here.

Dressed in a Sawsbuck costume of all things. She seems to be promoting a odor removing agent called Sawsbuck Scent.

The video goes on to show her singing and dancing. Then four actual Sawsbuck, one from each season, came out and started dancing with her.

The video soon ended.

When it did so I looked at Elesa.

Who is currently on her hands and knees, a cloud of depression hanging over her. While Zebstrika tries to console her.

"It's over. Ezra now knows my embarrassing past." She muttered.

As she did so I sighed.

I then walked over to her and pulled her to her feet, before giving her a brief but gentle hug.

"Hey, everything is fine. So you were a child actor who did a cute song and dance in a costume. It's not like you're the first." I said. "Still, that was pretty funny." I mused.

Only for Elesa to hit me in my right arm.

"Ok, Ok, I'm sorry." I playfully said.

*Ahem*

Only to hear Hilda fake cough into a closed fist.

'Whoops.' I thought.

Looks like Elesa and I started creating a pink zone without even realizing it.

"Looks like it's our turn to apologize." I said.

"No, you guys are dating so it's fine." Hilda spoke.

"Well this was nice, but please excuse us." Elesa said.

"Yes, of course." Hilda spoke.

Once she did so we separated from her and found ourselves a good spot to set up camp for the night.

After we did so we set up our tents and then released the rest of our pokemon.

All eyes landing in Trapinch after we did so.

So I quickly explained to the others she was our newest member.

"Trapinch!" She cried once I was done.

She then proceeded to challenge Gyarados to a battle.

Only to get her ass kicked.

But she got right back up.

She then challenged Dragonite and got the same result.

Trapinch then got up once more, and I think she is grinning.

Turning to Haxorus she also challenged him.

As he beat her down I heard her laughing a bit.

Which makes me think she is a battle maniac.

Though that's not an issue for me.

After Haxorus finished thrashing her she finally stopped challenging others.

Namely because her wounds prevented her from doing so.

As I tended to her I couldn't help but put a wry smile on my face. Since I feel she will cause me no end of trouble in the future.

But that's fine.

She's family now and that means I will always look out for her.

Once I finished taking care of Trapinch I fed all my pokemon and Elesa did the same with hers.

When then got some food ourselves and settled down on a blanket into a nice cuddle.

Looking at the stars in the night sky above after we did.

One thing I love about the pokemon world is that they respect nature way more than in my previous life.

Probably because unlike there, pokemon exist here and will destroy humanity if they encroach too much into their territory.

"It's beautiful." Elesa muttered.

"Yes." I said. "So Sawsbuck girl. You were adorable even back then."

"Ack!" Elesa shouted. "Please, don't bring that up. It's so embarrassing. I only did a commerical for that company the one time, and now I can't escape it." She told me.

"Well it could be worse."

"True." Elesa mused. "So, Ezra was that really the first time you saw that commerical?"

"Yes, why?"

"Not to be vain or anything but that commerical made me a household name in Unova back then."

"I see. Well the thing is I didn't start living in Unova until a few years ago." I revealed.

"Really. Then where did you live before?" She asked.

"Hoenn." I said.

"I see. So why did you move here if you don't mind me asking?"

"I came to live with my grandfather, Drayden." I spoke.

...

"Eh...What?!" Elesa shouted. "Drayden. Dragon-master Drayden. Former member of the Unova elite four Drayden. He is your grandfather!"

"Yes." I said.

"But your name."

"Is my father's. I decided to keep it to honor him." I said.

I then gave Elesa the details of my past.

Once I finished I suddenly felt her arms around me as she pulled me into a hug.

"Ezra." She said.

"It's fine. I am happy with my life." I said. "So there's no need to worry." I told her.

"Okay." Elesa said.

She then released me from her hug.

After that went back to stargazing.

Getting in a quick kissing session before we headed off to bed.

Separately.

If we slept together I'm certain what little self-control I have would disappear and I would have Elesa screaming my name all night long.

But we're not there yet.

So I'll wait.

But when that time does come I won't let her rest.
