Irreplaceable Radiance/Script

(The scene starts with Cheren and Gina hanging out at the latter's house in Aspertia after they both are done with their respective jobs for the day. However, Cheren seems to be staring into space as if something is on his mind.)

Gina: **Renren, are you okay?**

Cheren (lying): **Yeah, I'm perfectly fine. I couldn't feel better right now.**

Gina: ***Cheren. Harkabune*. I'm going to ask again. Are you okay?**

(Cheren , however, still avoids the question. Gina is quite worried. She pulls out her phone and calls Katrina's number.)

(On the other end, Katrina, who is still at Celadon School since she is grading a lot of papers even after school ended for the day, answers the phone.)

Katrina (on the phone): **...Hello? Gina-chan?! What's up?**

Gina (on the phone): **Renren's been acting pretty strange lately. After we got home from work and decided to hang out, he's been avoiding talking to me! And-**

Katrina (on the phone): **Give me a moment. I have a few more tests to grade.** (after finishing grading the last few papers) **Let's discuss this privately at my house.**

Gina: **Got it.**

(After hanging up, Gina teleports to Katrina's house in Celadon, Kanto, and Katrina teleports in moments later.)

Comet: **So, wha-**

Katrina: **COMET! This is none of your business!** \*returns Comet to her Poké Ball\* **Ugh. Anyways, what was it you were about to say?**

Gina: **Well, whenever I ask any of our friends what would have happened if we weren't semi-immortal... they always avoid the question. Especially RenRen.**

Rubina: **What if Megan-chan is hiding something?!**

Gina: **You stay out of this, Rubina!**

(Gina starts to cry. Katrina comforts her.)

Katrina (sloppily eating a bowl of stir-fry, mouth full): **Ish musht be weally upsheing. I'll all an emrrensy ounshil meeting shomorrow orning, which otterwishe ushuawy onwy appen onsh a mont.** (after finishing the stir-fry) **For now, go home and try and get some sleep, alright?**

Gina: **Okay. Thanks, Katrina-senpai.**

(Gina teleports back to her house in Aspertia and climbs into bed, trying to fall asleep.)

####

(The next morning, at the emergency council meeting in the LoC council chamber...)

Clemont: **Another meeting already?! Gimme a break...**

Angela: **Mom, it's only been a week.**

Elizabeth: **That's a bonus for me! I get to see all of you early.**

Katrina: **I know, Angela-chan, but this is a serious matter. It's concerning Cheren-san.**

Kyubey: **It's an energency!**

Spring Porter: **THIS WHOLE THING IS ALL ABOUT CHEREN?!**

Shawn: **That's kind of... petty, isn't it?**

(All the Guardians fall silent, with Cheren looking very guilty that this meeting is about him. Four teenagers with Power Necklaces - Yuliana Rice [Nagomi Yui], Lola Lomein [Hanamichi Ran], Kendall Baker [Fuwa Kokone], and Timothy Stevens [Shinada Takumi], and their Pokémon, then come in.]

Katrina: **Oh, hi there!** (to everycreature) **These are our newest Guardian trainees who just contracted yesterday, Please, have a seat and watch and learn, young ones.**

Lola: **Right!**

Cherry Miles: **...maybe we should go look for shopping centers.**

(Rini and Cheren, however, are in such a hurry after hearing that that they and their Pokémon immediately rush out of the meeting.)

Katrina (exasperated): **...Sandra West, Teryn, and Cherry Miles, could you and your Pokémon please keep Gina-chan busy?**

All three: **Okay!**

####

(In downtown Celadon, Cheren, Rini, Kyubey, and the four inexperienced teenagers are strolling through town, trying to find ideas to make everycreature feel better.)

Cheren: **Hmmm... what would cheer everycreature up?**

Rini: **I'm not sure myself...**

(Suddenly, Yuliana is told by the Magic of Friendship that there is trouble in a nearby alleyway. She asks what it is, and it says it is a criminal. The six Guardians rush over to the alleyway and see a civilian being robbed by a man shooting magic energy swords at her and using his Houndoom.)

Kyubey: **Hey! That's wrong!**

Cheren: **HOW DARE YOU!** \*transforms\*

(Kyubey, however, gets distracted and wanders off to a candy shop.)

(The small group transforms, except for Yuliana who watches since she *also* can't transform at will despite also having combat power. Cheren blasts the robber with a spray of water while Rini blocks his energy swords with a pink energy shield, Timothy shoots his pillows despite not being very experienced, Lola uses a noodle to tie him up, though she isn't very good at it, gets distracted by a nearby ramen shop sign, and almost runs off before Rini stops her and distracts the robber with a flash of moonlight, while Cheren calls Officer Jenny, allowing the woman and her male Nidoran to escape.)

Woman: **....Thank you so much!** \*magically creates pieces of candy for them as gratitude\*

(Officer Jenny then arrives with her Arcanine and arrests the robber.)

####

(Later, however, after returning to the council chamber...)

Katrina (angry): **You two left the meeting early without permission! And one of those extremely green Guardians you took along- Lola-chan - ALMOST GOT LOST PARTLY BECAUSE YOU, KYUBEY, SNUCK OFF TO A CANDY SHOP! What do you have to say for yourselves?!**

Gina: **And you left me and everycreature else behind!**

Cheren: **...we were trying to find a shopping center to cheer you up.**

(Gina laughs).

Gina: **I'm happy as long as you're by my side, Renren.**

(Cheren blushes.)

#####

(The next morning after the meeting, in Kanto before Rini goes to her job, Queen Serenity notices her daughter is depressed, and so does Endymion.)

Queen Serenity: **Rini-chan, is everything alright?**

Rini (depressed, lying in bed crying): **Yes, Mom, it is...**

Serenity (whispering, to Endymion): **I think she's still upset from getting yelled at yesterday. Don't worry, though. Let's call everycreature to Kanto again to cheer her up.**

(Serenity calls the other Guardians, who are all currently at work in their home regions, or in the case of the four teens Lola, Yuliana, Timothy, and Kendall, training their Pokémon. The former quickly inform the managers of the situation and get permission to leave, teleporting to Kanto.)

Mina: **You called, Usagi-chan?**

Serenity: **Yeah. It seems that Rini-chan is not feeling like herself.**

Eileen: **Do you think that Cheren-san and Gina-san were lonely before they met?**

(Felicia slaps Eileen.)

Eileen: **OW!**

Felicia: **Don't be so clueless!**

Jasper: **That *was* pretty funny.**

Julia: **HAHAHAHA! Cheren and Gina sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!**

(The other Guardians get furious at Julia. Karen loses it.)

Karen: **GRRRRR.... JULIA DREAMWALKER!**

(Karen accidentally injures Nanette after losing control.)

Nanette: ***AAAHHH!! OW!*** \*collapses, breaking her arm and clutching her jawbone\*

Cherry Miles: \*gasp\* **...give us a moment please.**

#####

(Please Stand By)

#####

Cherry Miles: **...I still have an idea!**

(Cherry Miles whispers her idea so that the audience cannot hear, and neither can Cheren, Rini, and Gina,)

Mikey: **Okay! NOW CALL THE ER ALREADY!**

Jim: **NATA-CHAN NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION!**

(After Mikey calls the ER and Timothy is baffled by why a group of friends would fight like this....)

####

(Later, Cheren, Rini, and Gina are taking a stroll in Nuvema.)

Cheren: **Sometimes I wonder how the Magic of Friendship helped us be real heroes...**

(Suddenly, they hear a scream for help from a civilian. Gina impulsively tries to rush over without thinking, but Cheren stops her,)

Cheren: *That's Gina for you....* **No, don't! It's dangerous by yourself!**

Kazmar: **Mmm hmm. Let's go check it out.**

(Cheren, Gina, and their Pokémon rush over and see a bad guy trying to poach a herd of Sawsbuck. The two get ready to transform, but...)

???: **Leave it to me!**

Gina: **Aurea-senpai?!**

(Aurea quickly transforms, ready to fight the poacher.)
