Chapter 1: Lagoon Town Showcase

A/N I don't own Pokemon. Other than that, read and review!

"Come on guys!" yells Serena. "I'm going to watch my first showcase!"

"Did you hear that Aria, the Kalos Queen, is going to give a performance?" squealed Shauna. "She's a great performer!"

Serena and Shauna, the newfound friends sprint to the theater, although Serena is faster. Clemont, Ash and even Bonnie are struggling to keep up with the girls' growing excitement.

Team Rocket arrive at the theater as well, with Jessie whining in her seat, "James, why did you take me here. This is boring, I could do better in my sleep."

"Can we go home now?" whispers Meowth in James' ear. "Oh who cares, at least she isn't performing." James reminded Meowth.

Everyone arrives in the theater and finds a seat. Aria and her Braixen start a routine. "Braixen, bounce the branch on my head!" she says while dancing. "Now use Fire Blast around me!" she says happily.

The crowd applauds wildly after Aria finishes. However, during the next performance, a Pancham interrupts the proccedings. Serena realizes that the Pancham wants to be a performer after watching him dance on stage. I'm going to find him and catch him, Serena thought, smiling at her luck.

Serena leaves to find Pancham, with her friends following. She found Pancham with Fennekin near a forest as it leaps. The Pokemon runs away with her friends' stuff. "Wait! Come back!" said Serena. "Would you like this pair of sunglasses in exchange for my friends' hat and glasses back?" Pancham, however, is angered by this and runs away.

While the Playful Pokemon takes a nap, Chespin attempts to wake up Pancham. Ash and Clemont cried out, "Give our stuff back!" When Pancham wakes up, Serena tells him why she wants to catch him.

"We both want to perform, Pancham. I'd like you to join me. I want to battle you before I catch you, though." she explained.

"Fennekin, use Scratch!" she yelled, starting the battle, as the fox was taken by the famous Meowth balloon.

"No!" yelped Serena.

"Prepare for trouble! And make it double! To protect the world from devestation! To unite all peoples within our nation! To denounce the evils of truth and love! To extend our reach to the stars above! Jessie! And James! Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light! Surrender now or prepare to fight! Meowth, dat's right!" Team Rocket says, finishing their motto.

"Team Rocket! What are you doing here!" says the Kalos gang. "Thank Arceus their motto is over." muttured Clemont and Bonnie.

"Who cares! Inkay use Psybeam, Pumpkaboo use Shadow Ball!" yelled Jessie and James.

"And Meowth with Fury Swipes!" Meowth said.

"Pancham use Dark Pulse on Inkay!" said Serena.

"Chespin use Vine Whip!" says Clemont.

"Free Fennekin!" yells Bonnie.

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" came the voice of Ash.

"Team Rocket's blasting off again!" moans Team Rocket as they blast into the sky. "So, now we can finally battle again, Pancham!" Serena said, relieved that Team Rocket was gone.

Serena and Fennekin continue their battle with Pancham. A dark ball of energy comes for Fennekin. "Use Flamethrower, then Ember!" said Serena. As Pancham comes with an Arm Thrust, Fennekin retaliates with a Hidden Power and a Flamethrower.

When Pancham is weakened ,Serena says, "Why don't you join me to be a performer? I want to become the Kalos Queen. Maybe I'll be better than Aria. And I want Pokemon to join me throughout this new journey. Do you want to join me?" She said, holding out her sunglasses to Pancham.

"Pancham cham pancham cham!" (Yes, I would love to!)

"Awesome! Now, I just have to think of a performance for the next showcase." Serena said with a grin on her face

"I'm happy for you, Serena." said Ash. "So are we!" said the Lumiose twins.

"Thanks. I have to prepare for my first showcase, so let's go!" Serena shouted.
