How disappointing. Even ater being told by her pokemon that they needed to go on, Henrietta was still down about herself. N sighed. If only she could understand.
"Why do you carry a weapon around if you don't want to fight? Maybe you'd be better off without it. Strong people don't need to carry weapons. You're going through evolution right now. Just like pokemon. It's confusing at first. And it might be hard to accept. But you're still here. You still have to go on trying like the rest of us."
N stood up from the bench. "When I first met you, you had a stutter. Think back. Are you really the same girl you used to be?"

Henrietta sighed, her head flowering. "Yeah, I do have to keep moving forward." Her eyes downcast to stare at Melty.
There were no resolve in the words. Merely a finality of it, like she was standing on the edge of something and couldn't find the bridge over but knew she had to keep walking at some point.
"Thanks N."
But was she a different person? She'd been broken down by the world, not hardened. Every day was a struggle, stressful and gnawing.
Fun? When had she had fun?
Several days back, walking with Eunmi, that was fun. Ever since the tournament, beyond that, to Pinwheel Forest and now here, in Castelia city, she was struggling to get by.
No one else had to. No one else endured it. They all looked so pretty, tidy and clean. Struggles they could walk away from without wounds. Henrietta couldn't even escape a Pokemon battle without one.
"I'm.. Going to go challenge the gym."
At the bottom, with no way up.

N didn't looked back at Henrietta. He didn't have to in order to realize she still sounded unsure of herself. The green haired trainer couldn't help but feel let down. She was one of his better candidates.
What if she turns out to be the one? She can't give up.
"Good luck to you, Henrietta," he said over his shoulder. And then he walked away, allowing himself to get caught in the current of commuters.

the boy and his kirlia start clapping, approaching the girl they thought to be an actress, and a great one at that.
"amazing! ive never seen this show before but i like it!... now if only it had some battles"

((Nah, I love battling. Just one rule. If it takes you more than ten minutes to think up a reply, just take the hit. I don't wanna spend a whole week on another battle.))
Henrietta didn't look like an actress. Well, maybe she was pretty but she'd never been told as much before. Her hair was frizzy from taking two electric attack earlier, she was covered in mud, dressed in booty shorts and a low cut/high collar red vest showing some cleavage that she'd slowly gotten used to that day. Top it off was the bandage over her right arm where she'd been hit earlier that day.
So, when she was addressed she eeped and turned to look at the eleven year old and his Pokemon. "Sh-show?" Had this kid heard everything. Henrietta's cheeks flushed. "N-no.. hum... I, uh.."
She didn't want to be telling everyone her problems. She had told N, talked to him because everything was gnawing at her. She could've told someone else she considered a friend but they had either made her uncomfortable in the past or they weren't around.
That said, instead of giving the kid a reason to talk to her that would be personal she said, "y-yeah. A show."

((i hate dragging things out too, so were in agreement biggrin ))
the boy smiled, then it faded and he looked around
"wait, you were done with the scene right? that scene seemed so real, id feel terrable if i messed it up... hm?"
the boys attention changed to his kirlia, he seemed to change focus quickly. the kirlia was examining the litwick, still intrigued by its odd mixture of emotions

Melty eyed the two. [Hey, let's kick their asses.] But Henrietta couldn't understand him.
"N-no, we were just... R-rehearsing lines."
