"Sorry. I won't pry." I said, feeling my face burn with shame.

"It's fine. I just made some stupid choices. Maybe if I told you, you would avoid making the same?" He offered, tucking his ring back into his shirt. 

"Okay." I said, placing the mug back onto the table.

Fluffy quietly slid in, taking his chai tea. 

"I used to be a part of this organisation called Team Plasma." He breathed.

I could feel Fluffy tense up at the mention of the villains, and could feel my own anger begin to sizzle up again. 

"I didn't know any better, or any different. I had grown up there, they were my family. I was sent on a mission along with many other grunts, to raid this town filled with extremely powerful Pokemon. Our operation started, and we cleared out homes, taking any Pokemon we could see. I was sent to a house on the further end, where the leader of the town lived, with his powerful Druddigon. I was one of the best. As I made my way there, I was intercepted by a girl. She confronted me there and then. She asked my why, why would I do such a thing to all these people and Pokemon." Tim breathed, and for the first time, he showed an emotion, but not one I had wanted to see.

It was one of regret.

"She said, if she could beat me, me and all of the other grunts would leave, and never come back. I was naive, I wouldn't waste my time, and didn't agree. She wouldn't let me pass, and said that if I won, I could have her Pokemon. I was so greedy, I agreed. She brought out her precious partner Lucario, and we battled. I won and took her Pokemon. We completed our raid, leaving the town in ruins and Pokemon-less. But her face as I left, her beautiful green eyes filled with sorrow and loss, it took a toll on me. A few years later, after I found out the horrible plans the leader of Team Plasma had, I left. I went to Castelia city, hoping for a new life. I found that same girl, working tirelessly to earn money at a bar I had gone to. We talked, and I completely lied to her about everything. Told her I was from Johto, lied about stealing her Lucario, everything. I didn't want her to know, because I wanted her to like me. We went out, got married, moved into our first home. I was so happy. But one day a wild Pokemon had gone rampant in our backyard, and my wife was defenseless. I didn't have any Pokemon except for her Lucario. I had to bring it out, so we battled. I bet the Pokemon, made it go away, but after she finally understood, pieced it all together, she broke up with me, and left me. I loved her so much, but didn't want to tell her because, I wanted her to get to know  me, and love me despite my past." Tim took the last sip of his coffee, and went over to put it in the sink.

"I miss her everyday. I wish I had just told her." Tim looked me dead in the eye, "Don't let that boy make that mistake."

He glanced at the clock.

"You have another hour, you better start getting ready."

******

We soundlessly walked side by side, making our way to Mr. Woods office. He had shared something so deep, but I couldn't say anything in return. He held such misery within him, and so much regret. What could I say? It was kind of admirable, how he was able to keep his head high. We walked up to a large building, and I could begin to feel my hands become clammy. 

"Go." Tim said walking off.

"Ampha!" Fluffy exclaimed Tim.

Tim whipped around at the sudden call of his name.

"Thank you." I said gratefully, nodding my head.

Tim nodded, a slight sparkle in his eyes, and walked away. I nodded to Fluffy, who nodded back to me.

"Ampharos Ros?" Fluffy asked, still nodding, why are we nodding?

I facepalmed, and opened the glass doors, to be greeted by a cold flush of air from the reception. Fluffy strode quickly towards the receptionist, and gave her a smile, as he struggled to reach her high desk. The receptionist briskly looked up, then looked back at her laptop. 

"What do you want?" She asked rudely.

Fluffy's face went aghast, then his serious business face took over. 

"Ampharos Ampha Ros Ros Ros." Fluffy said, head high We have an appointment with Mr.Wood. 

The receptionist raised an eyebrow, and picked up her xtransceiver.

"Sir, did you send for an Ampharos and a girl?" She asked, glaring at Fluffy who was trying to steal a chocolate from a large bowl. 

After a few moments of nodding and 'aha', she placed her xtransceiver back on her desk.

"Go through those doors." She said pointing at a small pair of glass doors.

"Ampharos." Fluffy leered thought so, and walked towards the doors.

I awkwardly smiled.

"Thank you!" I said as politely as I could, slowly backing away towards the door. 

"Just hurry up and get your Ampharos out of here." She said, her eyes already back to her laptop, madly tapping away at the keys. 

"Uh, of course." I said, quickly walking up to Fluffy, and dragging him by his scarf.

"Let's go." I whispered, as he struggled against my grip.

"AMPHAROS!" Fluffy yelled she deserves a piece of my mind!

I slam my hand over his mouth, and pull him through the doors.

"COME AT ME YOU PATHETIC PIECE OF FLUFF!" The lady sneered, as I dragged him through the doors.

Fluffy tried his best to get free, but I wouldn't let go.

"AMPHAROS! AMPHA ROS ROS ROS AMPHAROS!" Fluffy yelled angrily let me go! She has dishonored my name!

"Fluffy, keep on acting like a five year old, and I will smash every single Ruby Rose figurine you own." I said wickedly, knowing I had struck a week spot. 

Fluffy went limp, and I let him go.

"Ampha." Fluffy whimpered fine.

We quietly walk down the long hall we had stumbled into, lined with a long red carpet and royal blue walls. Posters of famous movies and movie stars are framed and placed among the wall, hall of fame style. At the very end, is a large door, with a large painting of Mr. Wood above them. I knock on the doors as hard as I can, and they creak open, to a light filled room. Mr. Wood's office was just like the party, a bland cracker slapped on a wall. His desk was white, his chair white, his floor white, his walls white, his couches white, his decor white, everything white. He looked up from some book on his desk, and his face beamed as he saw us enter.

"Greetings!" He exclaimed, coming over and shaking both of our hands. "Come sit."

Fluffy and I both sat next to each other on his hard couch, facing his desk. He sat down and placed his hands on his desk.

"Now, it's not often that I offer this. But I would like to be your manager!" He exclaimed, adding a hearty laugh at the end.

"Um, Sir we really don't want to rush..." I tried to get my word in, but was interrupted. 

"Oh don't worry! My contract is fair! You don't have to do anything you don't want to, nothing to do with anything inappropriate until you are of age, and even then you get to choose, I simply will just offer movies that you could be in, and shabang!" He laughed.

"Ampharos Ampha." Fluffy sweat dropped, your making this sound so easy.

"Oh but it is!" He smiled "I'm not trying anything funny, unlike some dodgy managers...your contracts even state that you can sue me and drop me under any terms necessary!"

It seemed way too good to be true. The perfect contract, I had decided as I read over it. There were no loopholes, and he wasn't trying to be dodgy.

"But why sir?" I asked, looking up.

"Why what?" He asked, looking me dead in the eye.

"Why offer such an amazing deal, with barely anything for you to gain, for us?" I asked, pointing out the holes in the story.

Even Fluffy seemed a bit reluctant and confused. Mr. Wood lent back in his chair, and tapped his fingers together.

"I offer such an amazing deal because I think you deserve it, especially before someone trying to take advantage of you and snaps you up. What do I need to gain? I make millions a month, but only because I adore my job!" He laughed, his beard wiggling distractedly.  "Just watching amazing actors earn their place...I want to be a part of their life movie! Also, you two are two of the most real and honestly good actors I have seen in a very long time." 

I could feel myself gleam with pride. Fluffy grinned, and nodded at me. We accepted Mr.Wood's pens, and signed our names.

"Pleasure doing business with you! I also am offering a new caravan if you want it?" He asked, as we began to get up.

"No thanks!" I laughed to Fluffy, as he looked appalled at the idea of leaving our neighbors. 

We said our goodbyes, and gleefully walked down the hall. We walked proudly out of the glass doors, and we stopped right in front of the receptionist.

"AMPHAROS, AMPHA ROS, ROS AMPHAROS!" Fluffy yelled Dishonor on you, on you family, and on your cow!

I facepalmed, as walked out of the front doors to the steps, leaving Fluffy yelling angrily at the receptionist, who just ignored him. I breathed happily, and went down the first step when I saw him.

The liar stood right in front of me.
