Right, acting mode again. Maria slowly rises to her feet, keeping her gaze on Rosa's.
"My dear Princess, I need no reward save for your smile."
She did know what was coming. If there were onlookers, surely it would look like they were practicing a part for a show? But to them...

After waiting for so long, how could Rosa not just go for it?...Maybe she'll continue the bit just for a moment longer.
"Brave knight..."
Rosa would soon stand, still with her hand in Maria's grasp.
"Please rise up. I have a reward for you that's been long overdue."

"H-huh...? You mean-"
Her blush deepened. It had been acting at first, but the confession had been real., She'd somewhat had an idea that there was a hidden meaning behind Rosa's smiles toward her.
"I-I mean, yeah! First date, sure! I'm uh...looking forward to it!"

The brunette just couldn't look away from her...Thankfully, it seemed like Maria would get to see that smile often!
Plenty of opportunities to photograph it awaited if she chose to do so!
"...So this Undella Town trip...."
..She could tell that Maria wasn't just acting either.
"..First date?"

If Maria revealed that she owned all of Rosa's movies...no, probably best not to tell her that?
"Then let it be so. I shall defend your honor for the remainder of my days, and save you from any danger!"
Her heart pounded in her chest as she saw that smile again. If she could only photograph

....Rosa's face had never been so red before....That same smile the brunette had that day would resurface once more.
..Maria could always read her very well. It made her wonder...Did Maria see any of her movies?
...Could she tell that she was thinking about her? The thought made her heart race.-

"I think they just wanted to have a big moment," Maria comments, "but I never forgot about it."
She turns her hand around, clasping Rosa's softly.
"...the speech was completely made up, but I remember that smile you gave me. I don't think that was acting back then, I definitely saw something

Oh gosh...How could Rosa forget about that? She felt her own face turning red..It was part of what she thought of whenever she got roles as a Princess on the big screen...
"...Yeah?...How could I forget? Aha...I had no idea until you actually went and did it."
She... definitely thought about-
"...Yeah?...How could I forget? Aha...I had no idea until you actually went and did it."

Actual red blush this time, along with her expression changing to a shocked one.
"Rosa...?"
She clears her throat. Not that she hadn't had thoughts about Rosa in the past, but...
"Uh...y-yeah. Just...wasn't prepared for so much contact, y'know?"

"I'm ready whenever, honestly!~"
Rosa brings her arms off of Maria after a moment, but seeing just how much Maria needed this...
She'd place a hand right over Maria's hand, gently taking hold.
"Is this better for you?"

"Oh yeah, true. Paldea had a ton of variety, it was kinda impressive. I'm down to go if you are."
Realizing she still had a grip on Rosa, she retracts her arm with a blush.
"Sorry, might've held on for a bit too long there."

"Well...I only just started thinking about it, truthfully."
Rosa nodded...It was definitely a bit of a tourist trap. It was for a good reason, though!
"I think it'd be nice to go there with you! There are loads of Pokemon there that you'll never find anywhere else in Unova too."

"Undella Town? Can't say I have, it's a popular tourist trap isn't it?"
She hadn't tried swimming ever since the attack. Maria had been a strong swimmer before this, but...it was an opportunity to at least give it a shot again. It'd be good for Arrokuda too.

"I don't doubt that for a second!"
Rosa seemed to begin thinking in that moment...Where could she take Maria? She wanted it to be just the right amount of calm...relaxing...with enough potential for adventures if Maria wanted that too!
Something like..

Whenever the neighbor kids would tease Rosa or Maria, the two would always convene and have each other's backs. It wasn't just Maria comforting Rosa...
"Hey, that goes for you too. If you want to travel somewhere and want me to come along, I'm more than happy to. After all..."
She moves her

Rosa smiled right back at Maria, just like when they were kids!...But...different?
She can still remember being comforted by Maria like this...She was always strong.
She still is strong.
Rosa believes that in her heart.

A little, self consious blush forms as soon as she hears Rosa's nickname for her. Right, she'd called her that a lot when they played their games with the other kids in the park.
"You've always had a huge heart, Rosa. I'm not surprised you helped Hugh out too."

Rosa brings an arm around Maria, pulling her close. There was a small smile on her face as she made sure to hold her childhood friend close.
She was here, and she didn't plan on leaving Maria to handle anything alone anytime soon
"Aha..Well...I know that I'll smile plenty more if I get to see-

Sensing Rosa's determination though, she couldn't just say no to her.
"Alright...as long as you're ok with it. Your smile's important to me too you know, Princess Rosa."
She gives Rosa a knowing smile. Seems like Maria was the

...Rosa wasn't going to take no for an answer this time...Luckily for Maria, the Champion didn't intend on giving up so easily.
"..I want to protect you. I'd..like to help you in any way I can.."
Deep breath...-

"Me, inspire you? You always had the spirit of a hero in you."
She's keeping her gaze locked on Rosa's right now. The smile she'd used to have returned as Rosa reminded her of that one time.

"... It's my job to be the knight for everyone now..."
She'd say this quietly, her voice coming out gently as she kept her gaze locked on Maria.
"You were one of the people who inspired me the most..Aha...I still remember that one time you swept me off my feet, and just ran off!.."-

She's sure there are people out there who've had it rougher than her. A lot of her pain admittedly was her own fault because she didn't want to seek out her friends. Not letting herself get the healing she needed.

"So they really can't blame you for not just walking up to the one dude in the world who wants to weaponize you. Might as well be saying 'Here I am, come catch me!'"
"Thing is, they did try. But plans keep being thwarted."
And it doesn't help one of them 'broke' due to that.
"So most of them hate each other or hate me for it. And all I wanted was to get us to at least unite to take him down. Then we could go our own ways."

Maria shakes her head. All of that logic wasn't following for Maria.
"Feels like a lot of selfishness in my eyes. If they're so concerned about taking him down, they should do it themselves."

"...honestly? I haven't been for a while."
She lowers her gaze.
"I've been trying to avoid people I know...honestly just trying to spare people from having to deal with me being like this. The only reason I came back to town was to tell my parents what happened."

It was taking Rosa a moment to process what she was hearing....What she was seeing...
Where was her......?
"Oh my..."
..But who would've?...No...That wasn't important right now.
"..Right now...Are you okay?"
The Champion places a hand on Maria's shoulder...The one with an arm attached.

Well...Rosa had to be! She wanted to protect the people she cared about....She couldn't shake the feeling that Maria almost looked..pained?
Just what had happened since the last time they played those games together?..
"..You can show me anything, and I won't freak out."
Rosa would say as she-

She takes a deep breath.
"So hey, don't freak out or anything, but...I have something that you need to see."
Her expression is guarded, trying to gauge her friend's reaction. For some reason, revealing this to her was a lot harder than anyone

"Eh.... Even if they're insane, it is all some good points here. They don't like it when I take part in tournaments because it exposes my locations and don't like how I have a lot of Pokemon.
And feel I need to focus solely on taking him down."
To be fair, Aleister hasn't struck a tournament-

"That hella affectionate Cufant is still affectionate as normal. He's with Mom and Dad right now."
Nod nod.
"You are not the problem. So stop beating yourself up!"

"Who the hell says having too much Pokemon is a bad thing?"
Maria shakes her head. All of that logic wasn't following for Maria.
"Feels like a lot of selfishness in my eyes. If they're so concerned about taking him down, they should do it themselves."

"Eheh...well...they were, up until they saw uh..."
She takes a deep breath.
"So hey, don't freak out or anything, but...I have something that you need to see."
Her expression is guarded, trying to gauge her friend's reaction. For some reason, revealing this to her was a lot harder than anyone

Rosa had already been worried....When she saw no sign of Maria here the first time she came back to this town? She had worried about her friend.
"Is that so? I'm sure that they were happy to see you!"
...Seriously, what's with trainers in this part of Unova and just vanishing one day?-

Years at least. Maria had been trying to stay off the radar after all. She's intentionally keeping her right side as hidden as possible though. She'd rather not let Rosa worry!
"Literally same. I just came back to see my folks. I figured I'd stop here and let Rattata get some time

"....We never really got to do that one battle between us, haven't we? Yeesh. I wonder how many Pokemon you got when we left... I wonder how that Cufant is doing..."
Her mind is racing in nostalgia and everything. Despite this, she seems to be thinking a lot about the future.
"...I really am-

I just don't want you having to worry about me being used against you anymore."
She steps forward, continuing to glare at her.
"You didn't ask for an insane family. So stop telling yourself that you're the problem."

It was her! It was Maria! Rosa almost immediately seems to perk up upon realizing this.
"Maria! Haha....Even a Champion has to make time for friends and family sometimes, right? I wasn't expecting to see you here, though.."
When was the last time they saw each other?...It was definitely a while-

Rattata was playing already in the park. Sniffing around the various equipment, investigating. A Rattata in the city was a pretty rare sight, but it wasn't uncommon for them to romp around in the sewers.
Maria for her part was staring off into space. Thinking. Memories of them playing providing

Rosa had been visiting the next town over to check in on a friend of her mother's...As they take a few steps into Accumula Town, the brunette would take a deep breath.
"This part of Unova is really nice, isn't it?"
"Osha!"
The Oshawott happily nods, to which Rosa lifts up her shades to grin at-

A brief respite in her hometown was exactly what Maria needed. Her parents were naturally livid when they found out exactly what had happened to her, but couldn't stop her from continuing her travels. She really just wanted to see them again after all this time.

"Don't you dare blame yourself for the shit your father did."
She turns her expression back to Reina, glaring at her.
"I didn't lose an arm for you to start pitying yourself and telling yourself you're better off without people in your life. I don't regret being your friend, not for a second.

"...I think you can see why I didn't want anyone to help me when it came to him. After all, if you just let things go the way they should have, you wouldn't have lost your arm."
It seems the longer this goes on, the lower Aleister would stoop as a means to get to her.
"A lot of people left-

". . . look, I just...I don't want to be used against you anymore. I don't want you getting hurt because of me."
She stands back up, adjusting her hat and looking away.
"Knowing that your monster of a father used me as a weapon against you...he could do it again, you know."

"Maria....."
Her voice turned a bit worrisome as she huffed a bit.
"Were you avoiding me? You know I get worried about my friends. Come on... You didn't have to be like this, you know."
Deep down, she feels like she is guilty of this, given what happened between the two..

She's crouching to avoid the fumes, but that hat was pretty obvious...
"Probably not? At least I really hope not...damn, I didn't want you to know I was around still."
