Surprise of the Age

Chapter 1: Contest Wreck – (May's P.O.V.)

Today is the day that I finally beat her. Her tricks, routines, combinations, and strategy will fail. I've been trying, since the Kanto Region Grand Festival, to beat her for so long. She's always found a way to destroy my strategy. But not this time. I tend to make up for that. Today is the day I beat Solidad.

"May? May, honey. Are you alright?" a voice asks. I snap out of my thoughts and turn around to see my mother. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just a little nervous." I reply with a smile. "It's alright to be nervous. Just remember. No matter what happens, we are all very proud of you for how far you've come on your journey." She says. "Thanks mom." I say as I hug her. "And now it's time for our final contest battle for this year's Sinnoh Grand Festival." An announcer said. 'It's time. Here we go.' I thought to myself. I started walking down the hall. I turn my head to see my mom waving at me. I smiled and turned my attention back towards the hall. I grabbed two pokeballs from my pouch since it was a combination battle. I decided to go with Beautifly and Blaziken for this battle. It may seem odd, but I was confident about their ability. There was light at the end of the hallway. "Good luck, Korma. You're gonna need it, where you're going." A voice said. I stopped and looked around. There was no one there. That was odd. After a few seconds, I continued towards the arena, thinking to myself who was "Korma."

As I pass through the tunnel, I walk towards the battlefield. I already see Solidad in her position on the other side. I get into my position and put a confident smile on my face.

"And now, to begin our contest battle finale, we have the smooth and elegant Solidad on one side and the confident and strong May on the other side." The spokesperson said. She was right about one thing though, I was pretty confident. I look out into the stands to see my mom and dad and my little brother Max sitting in a place where they'd get a good view of the battle." I hear Solidad shout towards me. I turn my head to look at her. "Thanks. Good luck to you too." I shout back at her.

"Coordinators, bring out your Pokémon!" The spokesperson said. Solidad brought out two pokeballs and threw them into the air. They revealed to be a Vespiquen and a Gardevoir that she had caught while traveling throughout the Sinnoh Region. It was my turn. I threw my pokeballs and brought out Beautifly and Blaziken. The timer appeared and the battle was about to begin. "And now, let the battle begi-" the spokesperson said before cutting off. Something was wrong.

Before anything could be said, dark clouds literally started appearing over the stadium, followed by raindrops. It became heavy rain in a matter of seconds. As if things couldn't get any worse, a gust of wind started blowing. I covered me head with my hands so as to not get hit by any flying debris. That's when the worst thing of all happened.

The wind was now starting to twirl in the center of the field. It was a tornado! But there was something weird. As the tornado formed, it looked like it was glowing green. A few of the raindrops started glowing too, but they were glowing blue.

"It's time to bring the Thief and the Trainer together." A voice said. I recognized it. It was the same voice I heard earlier when I walked down the hallway. And then, it's as if my whole world stopped.

The tornado was coming closer to my Pokémon, but they didn't move. In fact, Beautifly's wings weren't even fluttering. It's as if time had stopped but I was still able to move. The tornado passed them and came towards me. I thought it was gonna past me as well, but I was wrong. I was lifted off the ground and was sent twisting in the twister.

A bright light came from the tornado and the wind sent me into it. I thought I was gonna die, but the light had a different fate in store for me. I don't know where I was going, but I was gonna get there in a hurry by the speed I was traveling at.

I didn't understand what was going on, but I figured it had something to do with that voice. And that's when the name, Korma, came back to me. Just who was Korma? I guess I was gonna find out when this light comes to a stop somewhere. Wherever it's taking me, I know I'm not gonna like it at first glance.
