Facing the man in white coat and pants with a cane and white hat as well, Kota could only smile bitterly.
"What a good day isn't it?, " Said Kota while looking up at the sky. Mera nodded as she moved and made a spot for the man.
"I didn't expect to meet the famous Kota here, " The man showed his joyful expression to Kota.
"Kota, he is the director of the movie where I am playing a role, " Mera introduced the man to Kota.
"Nice to meet you, sir, " Shaking his hand, Kota was about to leave when the man spoke.
"I was actually planning to find a strong rookie pokemon trainer to give him an important role but look! I found you! There can be no one better than you to play this role!".
The man grinned brightly at Kota making him sigh and stay to listen more.
"What's the role?, " Asked Kota while he rested his back on the railing and faced the man.
"The role is of the greatest pokemon trainer who will defeat the challenger, or the male lead, in the beginning and the end of the movie. That's all yet, it's really important".
The man seemed to start imagining the scenes right on the spot and have sparks in his eyes.
"How about it, I first take the gym badge and then do the role?, " Suggested Kota smiling towards the man, who was a little surprised.
"I thought you wouldn't agree but yes! Let's do that! I will talk to the assistant director and deliver the script to you, " The man then left for his room. Mera couldn't close her dropped jaw.
"You got one of the most important roles of the entire movie just like that! No audition, no struggle, " Mera said while turning to stare at Kota with a new light.
"That's what you get when you are a little famous and all so strong to some extent, " Kota headed towards the dinning hall to have his meal.
"I am jealous!, " Mera muttered while shaking her head and going on the deck to click some photos.

Kota got the script like what the director said. He read it and found that his screen time was only a few minutes.
In the script it said that he would enter, defeat the male lead easily and say a few words before leaving.
Then, at the end. He will fight the male lead once again, and then defeat him like before but this time it will not be that easy.
"Not much work, " Kota laid on the bed and closed his eyes.
He was exhausted even without him knowing about it. So he took a proper nap to feel better.
On the cruise ship, Kota met with the crew that will make the movie and also the male lead.
"The Force" Or the real name, Billy, is the male lead who is a very popular actor amongst the young generation.
He is in his twenties with a height of 1.78 meters, and not forgetting his handsome looks.
Kota on the other hand, was only 1.64 meters with a slightly above average look and nothing more.
At first Kota asked, wasn't he a little too young for the role of the greatest pokemon trainer?
The assistant director's words were- Age doesn't matter when talking about achievements.
"Finally, " Kota looked at the huge city on the island in front of the cruise ship.
Normal Fortress, and the Normal Fortress City. Famous for being the most normal location in the entire Kanto Region.
The other places in Kanto are known for being special about something.
Except this particular place, which is completely normal, giving it the name Normal.
But because the city is here quite like a Fortress, the island is called Normal Fortress and the city is called Normal Fortress City.
When the cruise ship docked on the port, Kota left for the gym while the movie crew went to get ready.
Walking in the city, Kota booked a room first and then searched for the gym.
"Excuse me, is the gym that way?, " Holding his phone which had the map on, Kota asked a passerby.
"Yes, go straight and then take a right. You will be able to see the gym, " The passerby was a good person as he answered Kota immediately.
"Thank you, " Going straight and then taking a right like that guy said, Kota spotted the gym.
It is a blue coloured stadium-like building with the Normal Badge sign on the top.
Entering the gym, Kota came to the open battleground.
"Is anyone here?, " Asked Kota loudly but no response was heard.
'No one?, ' Thought Kota while turning back to exit the gym and come later.
But then he heard noises from the other side of the gym, it was from the backdoor.
"Wait! I am here!, " With a shout, a short bearded man came running towards Kota.
"Are you the gym leader?, " Kota asked the man, the latter nodded his head as he gasped for breath.
"Sorry, it's rare for trainers to challenge the gym so that's why I don't stay in the gym much, " The man apologized to Kota and smiled lightly.
"My name is Hura Matsu, the gym leader, " The man introduced himself as he extended his right hand forward.
"Nice to meet you. I am Kota, and I am here to challenge the gym, " Kota shook hands with Hura, and greeted him back.
"Actually the problem is that I only have one pokemon, right now. We can do a one on one match, " Said Haru as he pulled out a pokeball from his pocket and showed it to Kota.
"That's fine by me, " Nodding his head, Kota went and stood opposite to Haru in front of the battleground.
"Snorlax! Go!, " Haru threw the pokeball as white light flashed and a huge round pokemon came out.
Snorlax, a normal type pokemon. It is known as the Sleeping Pokemon.
"Ops, I forgot to mention. My snorlax is very strong, " Haru smiled at Kota and crossed his arms over his chest.
"I hope you keep that in mind".
