My First story! I'm not sure when the next update will be but PLEASE REVIEW!
I don't own Pokemon
She was getting impatient now. Any second her name will be called. Just a distance away she could hear the cheers of the excited audience and the confident voice of the presenter. Looking down she saw her loyal Pokémon, Piplup, look up at her, anxiously.
"Come now, Piplup, into your pokeball. It'll be our turn very soon." she said to the little penguin Pokémon which shot in to the ball in a beam of red, bright light.
"...and now without further ado, let me present to you our next contestant all the way from Twinleaf Town: Dawn!" Mary said in to her mike signalling for the curtains to part, revealing a smiling Dawn.
She hurried out onto the brightly lit stage and tossed her pokeball into the air coupled with her stage cry, "Spot light!"
Piplup burst into the air joyfully and landed on both feet, beaming up at the clapping crowd.
"Now, use Bubble Beam!" ordered the coordinator.
The small Pokémon produced bundles of crystal clear bubbles that reflected rays of the golden sunshine. The effect was blinding. Each bubble burst in the end, dazzling the audience and pleasing the judges.
"Now peck these!" Dawn said tossing numerous colourful discs into the air. Piplup's miniature beak glowed striking silver and grew a few inches. Then with quick speed and agility it jumped into the air and pecked each disk causing them to break open and shower confetti over the stage. Dawn could hear the roar of the crowds approval over Mary's commenting which lifted her spirits causing her to smile even more widely.
"She's doing great! Look at that and Piplup's couldn't have performed better!" yelled Ash over to Brock who was cheering along with the crowd.
"I know! She's amazing up on stage." he replied back over the noise.
Within in minutes they had stopped and bowed gracefully.
"Now I'll hand it over to our judges. Let's see what they have to say about that."
"I enjoyed every bit of it. Not a dull moment!."'said the first judge with an encouraging smile.
'Also, very remarkable!' was the usual comment of the second judge.
"The strong bond between both trainer and Pokémon was plainly visible and both of you had fun performing, undoubtedly." Nurse Joy finished off.
"Well, those are some great comments for Dawn. She must be very glad and now it's time for the next ..."
Dawn walked backstage to be greeted by her old friend and rival, Kenny.
"Nice work . . . Dee Dee." grinned the young coordinator.
"DON'T CAL ME DEE DEE!"
He just laughed and walked while saying to her,
"At least you're improving!"
Urgh! He's such a -
"Hey Dawn!" she looked over at the entrance to see who had disturbed her thoughts only to find the her two best friends beaming at her, Ash and Brock.
"So? What'd you think?" she asked knowing what the answer was going to be.
"You were great! Everyone loved you!" Ash began with Brock standing by his shoulder nodding at everything being said.
Moments later Mary's voice echoed in the room causing all coordinators to stop chattering and look up at the screen.
"We know have the results of the first round!" and she gestured towards the huge screen.
One by one cards containing each coordinators face showed up on the screen. Kenny's card came up and still no Dawn.
Where's mine? She thought getting scared. There was only 2 left to be revealed. Eyes tightly shut she waited . . .
"And those are our lucky coordinators who have got through to the next round!"
Daring to open her eyes she looked up to find herself not on there along with the others successful.
Knowing that the gazes of her friends and pókemon were on her she tried to hide her tears that were slowly swelling up in her blue eyes.
"Well, at least Kenny thinks I'm improving!" she said laughing slightly, "That's good new, right?"
The unbelieving looks her friends told her at once that they didn't buy this act.
"Pip . . ." said the little penguin.
"I think I'm gonna go change. Meet you all back here later!" she said and ran off with out another word.
She wasn't going to let them see her cry again, not again. She had to be strong.
