Diamond sparkles on Stage
Author's Note
Here's a cute follow up to my Pokémon story.
Diamond sparkles on Stage
The setting is a TV studio where a studio audience enjoys music from a house band. Behind a desk, a young brown haired man wearing glasses and wearing a blue suit signaled the band to stop.
"My next guest is the champion of the Kanto Region who with help from her Pokémon, achieved many feats." The host said. "She even helped take down the criminal organization, Team Rocket. Please welcome Diamond Tiara!"
Diamond Tiara walked onto the stage with Eevee walking by her side. After shaking the host's hand, she sat down with Eevee sitting on her lap.
"Thank you for coming, Miss Tiara." The host greeted.
"Please, Brian." Diamond said. "Call me Diamond. All of my friends do."
"Okay, Diamond. So tell me, what made you decide to be a Pokémon trainer?"
"As you probably know, I was known to be an elegant young lady. But, my mother always want me to be snobbish to lower class people. But, after my friendship with three girls collectively known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, my points of view changed."
"Unfortunately, your mother doesn't want things to change. She still wants you to be snobbish."
"Yup. So, my dad suggested that I be a Pokémon trainer. And, it's really helped me a lot. Now, my mother is proud of me."
"We happened to have Diamond's parents, Filthy Rich and Spoiled Rich with us in the audience."
The people clapped as Filthy and Spoiled waved to the crowd.
"I guess this journey is how you got this little critter." Brian said, pointing at Eevee on her lap.
"That's right." Diamond replied. "Eevee and I have been though a lot."
"Have you thought about evolving Eevee throughout your journey?"
"Nope. I figured that Eevee is just fine as he his."
Everybody went 'AW' as Diamond cuddled her little friend.
"I believe that you also brought along your traveling companions as well." Brian said.
"You're referring to Babs Seed and my best friend: Silver Spoon." Diamond said happily. "Come on in, guys!"
Babs Seed and Silver Spoon came out and waved to the crowd. They soon sat in the other chairs.
"Welcome, girls." Brian greeted. "Thanks for joining us."
"It's our pleasure." Silver said. "We wouldn't miss an opportunity like this."
"I'm sure you wouldn't, Miss Spoon. Seeing that you're Diamond's best friend." Brian then turned to Babs. "But, I'm surprised that you associated with her, Babs Seed."
"I was in Kanto when Diamond saw me catch a Charmander." Babs replied. "It was a friendship that was unexpected."
"Especially since you're cousins with members of the well known Apple Family. Diamond used to be cruel to you guys right."
"She and Silver used to pick on Apple Bloom mostly."
"But, she and I started to understand each other." Diamond added. "And, Silver and I were friends with her and her friends ever since."
"So, this friendship helped you three girls throughout Kanto." Brian said proudly. "You guys encountered many Pokémon along the way. Including the legendary Bird Pokémon of Kanto."
"Yes. Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. Just looking at them was enough to me."
"And, thanks to our support," Silver said, "Diamond rose up to many challenges and become the Kanto Champion."
The audience cheered for the girls. Brian got everybody's attention. "Along the way, you had on different kinds of outfits. Let's have a look."
On a monitor, everybody saw Diamond's outfits. The crowd were all impressed. Brian soon asked an interesting question. "I noticed that in most of these photos you went barefoot. Why is that?"
"I often seen pictures of barefoot tomboys, Brian." Diamond answered. "I might as well follow that crowd. And, it helped me appreciate those kind of folks."
"True. Now, I heard that Prince Blueblood, one of Canterlot's elegant types, had a beef with you."
"I never bothered him. I guess when he found out about me standing up to my mother, he didn't like that. So, he wanted me to remain snobbish, snooty, mean to others, and so on. He even tried to manipulate my mother to do so."
"I was such a sucker to fall for those lies." Spoiled said to Filthy in the audience.
"Well, thank you girls for joining me here today." Brian said. "I wish you all the best in continuing your learning about Pokémon. We'll be back after this."
The house band played as the audience cheered. Minutes later, after the ad break. Brian was on another part of the stage with Diamond joining him.
"I'm back with Kanto Champion Diamond Tiara." Brian announced. "Her friend, Eevee, is with her traveling companions."
Babs and Silver were still in their seats holding on to Eevee,
"The reason you're with me, Diamond is this." Brian informed.
"Okay." Diamond said. "I'm listening."
"Every week, we bring up a subject involving one of our guests. This week's subject is 'How to Teach snobbish people to stay that Way'. Suggested by Prince Blueblood. Okay, ladies!"
As Brian leaves the stage, Rose, Lily, and Daisy showed up behind Diamond with clubs in their hands. Suddenly, they got mad and pummeled Diamond. Everybody in the audience was in shock, especially her parents. Later, after the show was off the air, Babs Seed joined the Cutie Mark Crusaders backstage. Needless to say, they are all upset.
"I can't believe that Blueblood." Babs said angrily. "He set Diamond up so badly."
"Don't worry, cousin." Apple Bloom assured. "They only use foam rubber clubs on TV."
"Not in this case." Said the voice of Silver Spoon.
They soon saw Silver Spoon push Diamond Tiara who was in a wheelchair. She had bandages on her arms and legs. She also has an ice pack on her head. Eevee is resting on her lap as Filthy and Spoiled were also with her.
"Foam rubber clubs. Huh, Apple Bloom?" Diamond said as she showed the girls her injuries. "How do you explain these bruises and these lumps on my head." The family all went home with Silver helping her best friend. "Jeez!"
