Serena, Rocket style

"And the winner of Pteralburg city's performance is... Serena!"

The nineteen year old Pokémon Performer jumped excited. Another successful victory for her. She greeted her rivals and claimed her prize. After some photographs and interviews, she was back in her dressing room.

Life had been good for her. After a time traveling through Kalos, her home region, she had moved to Hoenn, where she found success as a Pokémon Performer. She was quite well known, but a powerful competitor on stage. The media was already declaring her that year's Queen. Romantic wise, she was single. She had had a few things here and there with boys, but it never worked out. Deep in her heart, she knew who her true love was. Her childhood friend, Ash Ketchum. They had done their travel together for about a year in Kalos. Yet they had never advanced in romance, besides a goodbye kiss she gave him before departing. Nevertheless, she missed him every day.

Back in her casual clothes, she was combing her short caramel colored hair when someone knocked in her door.

"Come in" she said.

Two women entered. A blonde and a light blue haired one. Both wore matching black tops and pants, as well as sunglasses. Serena thought they looked very stylish.

"I'm Annie" the blonde said

"Name's Oakley. We have a proposition for you"

"Hey if it's for the nutritional supenents thing, I've already told you I'm not interested"

"Oh nonono. We're from the R-Ket fashion line."

"You probably haven't heard of us. We're new, and we want you to model" said Oakley, bringing some mannequins from outside

"A model? Me?" Serena asked confused as she went to check on the clothes. There were dresses, blouses, shirts, skirts and many more.

"Well yes. We were looking for a young woman to model our first line of clothing. And we believe you are the perfect candidate." Annie explained

"Look, Serena. The job is simple. One of us will come bi-weekly with a set of clothes. You wear them and we make a photoshoot. We may even go to locations for some of them. Then you can keep them for your performances, or whatever use. This for six months. Of course, you'll be paid"

Serena thought about the proposal. She had been previously called to endorse diverse products and buisnesses, but never for this kind. The project seemed very interesting and she really liked the disgns and material shown to her.

"Alright! Where do I sign?"

She relieved a big contract and signed it. Serena noticed their logo was a red R. She found it familiar, but couldn't remember form where.

The weeks passed and stuff went fine. Boxes started comming to her apartment, with various clothing items she loved. The photoshoots were really cool for her. Annie and Oakley were nice women and treated her well. She considered them friends. Soon after, she could already see herself on billboards and magazines. Her popularity grew. Invitations to model R-ket's newest items on fashion shows came as well. She really enjoyed this life.

The six months came to an end. The last photoshoot wasn't on an exotic location, but rather on a small studio. Serena was rocking an elegant black and elite dress this time. With the job ending, she was looking forward to a nice vacation in her home region.

"Aaand smile! Keep that pose, Sere" Oakley instructed her

"That's it. Great job!" Annie congratulated her

"Thank you girls. These months had been awesome for me!"

"Oh, it's nothing. Actually, we have a last set for you"

"A special gift from Annie and me. Go to the dressing room, please"

Serena went excitedly. She hoped for a new hat or a stylish outfit identical to those her employers wore. Serena opened the door. Inside there was a mannequin waiting for her. It long black boots and gloves, a white miniskirt and a white top with an undershirt under it, both of which left her belly exposed. The top had a big red R on it. Serena just realized. It was Team Rocket's uniform.

"And, do you like it?" Annie asked with a smile

"But... it's Team Rocket! Bad guys!"

"Oh, you don't remember your contract? " Oakley asked "After the period concludes, the model must join R-ket's parent company, Team Rocket"

"This can't be! You are evil! Delphox, use..." but she couldn't find her pokeballs on her purse

"Lookin' for something? Don't worry, they are comfortable in the car"

"And I guess you don't want to meet Oakley's Tyrannitar or my Kingdra. So I recommend you put those on, darling" and Annie closed the door.

Realizing she had run out of ideas, she was about to start undressing. "But what I'm thinking!" She suddenly said to herself. " I must get out of these clothes. Team Rocket are criminals, vandals. I've never done anything illegal. I can't associate with them. If Ash looked at me now..."

Serena had a realization. During all this time, Ash had never made an effort to contact her. No calls. No texts. No letters. No videos. Anything. It was like she had never existed for him. "Well, if Ketchum didn't care for me at all, why should I care for his opinions? On the other hand, Annie and Oakley surely do. Let's see them happy"

She first put on the top and undershirt. She felt comfortable with them. Then came the skirt. She realized they actually matched pretty well and showed her curves. After that, the gloves. She felt dominant, powerful. Finally, the boots. Looking at the mirror with the whole ensemble, she didn't look at Pokémon Performer Serena anymore. She was looking at a queen.

Annie an Oakley were checking up some documents when they heard a loud slam closing the dressing room's door. They looked at it and found Serena, posing sexily.

"So, how do I look?" She told them

"Wow. Just wow" both said. Their plan had worked to perfection

"Hey, don't stare at me for too long that I guess there's work to do. Where should I start?" She insisted

"First we need to take you to the base. There you'll meet the other girls." Annie explained

"Then some weeks of intense training and you'll be ready for your first mission. And in your free time, there's chances to keep modeling"

"It all sounds awesome! Team Rocket Serena is ready for the mission"

"You really are taking it well" Annie noted

"Let's say it's a new collection" Serena giggled

"Then, jump to the car. Our plane to Kanto is waiting for us in a special hangar. We'll call the Boss during the trip" Oakley explained

"Kanto, you say?"

"Yes. There're our headquarters. Is it a problem?"

"Not at all, Annie!" Serena said, making an evil smile "it's just that there's a certain kantonian I'd like to visit..."
