Finally, your wait is over, we have new chapter! The final chapter actually :3 And I still suck at battle scenes. But try to endure. please.


The screen revealed pictures of Leah, Drew, one random male coordinator and May.

"And these are the four! Congratulations!" Marian congratulated. Audience cheered, few sighed because their favourites didn't make it.

"Alright!" Leah cheered.

"What? I made it!" May clapped her hands together.

"Of course you did", Drew smirked and pecked her cheek. May's whole appearance was shining happiness and she smiled brightly. Drew and Leah laughed. She looked actually pretty funny.

"Excuse me", they heard male voice from behind. It was the fourth finalist. He was apparently older than them, probably in his twenties. He had short, dark blue hair which covered his other eye. He was wearing dark green suit and top hat. "I'd like to congratulate my fellow semi-finalists", he said with polite tune.

"Thank you", three youngsters said.

"If I may ask", the gentleman continued and turned to Drew, "do you happen to be winner of last Johto Grand Festival? You look quite familiar."

"In a fact, I am", Drew replied. Leah clapped her hands together and looked at him in admiration.

"You are? I thought you two looked familiar!" She said. Few other people nearby also turned their attention to them as they had heard the conversation.

"Thought so", the gentleman said. "Well, this is quite an honour. I was in same Festival, but left into Top 16. Oh, my name is Dan." He offered his hand.

"Drew", Drew said and shook it.

"Aw man", Leah sighed. "I wasn't in it. But I was in audience. I'm Leah."

"And I'm May. I was second there", May smiled.

"Ah yes, I remember you too", Dan told. "Nice to meet you all."

Drew felt still few eyes on him. He didn't really like to be in centre of attention. May noticed this and threw few death glares to watchers. They turned their heads away, looking bit scared.

"Thanks", Drew whispered.

"No problem", May whispered back and smiled. Drew smiled too.

"And now, we will announce the battle pairs!" They heard from the TV in the middle of room. Pictures were arranged into two pairs, showing that first May would battle Dan and Drew would go against Leah in second match.

"My, my", Leah said. She grinned. "We just met, but I'm not going easy on you."

"I wasn't excepting anything else", Drew smirked and flicked his hair. "Don't think I go easy on you because you're girl."

"I wasn't waiting you to."

May laughed. Those two already had full rivalry going.

"I'll be excepting good and fair battle, Miss May", Dan said. He took May's hand and kissed back of it. May blushed.

"Uh, sure", she stuttered. Drew glared at Dan.

"Now excuse me, I'll see you at the stage." And so Dan left.

May stared a while to emptiness, face still bit red. Drew snapped his fingers in front of her. "Hey, wake up."

"Eh? Oh, yeah, sorry," she smiled. Then she saw Drew's face. "What?"

"Nothing", he growled.

May blinked. Then she smirked. "Someone's bit jealous, hmm?" He snorted. May giggled. She twined her arms around his neck. "Aw, that's cute." She kissed his cheek.

Drew got quickly over his jealousy attack. When Marian called first pair on stage, he already wished May good luck normally.

"And here's our first semi-final match!" Marian told when duo stepped out. "On right, May, and on left, Dan!" Audience cheered. "As you know, time limit is five minutes. The coordinator who takes more points from opponent during that time wins, not only damaging but also making it look good. So, we're off!" The clock started ticking.

"Munchlax, on stage!" May threw her pokéball and from middle of green and blue confetti appeared her fatty pokémon.

"Tropius, it's your turn!" Dan released his dinosaur looking pokémon from middle of stars.

"May has chosen Munchlax and Dan has chosen Tropius! The battle is about to start!"

"Tropius, Hyper Beam!" The fruit pokémon let out cry and swung its wings to get into air. It opened its mouth and blasted an orange beam towards Munchlax.

"Dodge, quickly!" May shouted. Munchlax jumped out of beam's way just in time. "Good, then use Solar Beam!"

Munchlax opened its mouth and gathered light into it.

"After Hyper Beam, Tropius can't move for a while. May takes the risk and uses the chance to gather energy to SolarBeam!" Marian described. Munchlax shot the energy ball to Tropius. It hit its target and Tropius fell back. "And this will cost points from Dan."

"Munchlax, go on with Focus Punch!" Munchlax's fist started to glow while it rushed towards Tropius.

"Gust!" Dan shouted. Tropius started swing its wings, creating strong wind. It hit Munchlax and its speed fell, pushing it backwards. Now May's points fell. "Then Magical Leaf!"

Munchlax fell on ground with cry.

"Magical Leaf is attack that always hits its target. And May loses more points! Our coordinators are again even!"

May growled. "Munchlax, Metronome!"

Munchlax raised its hands and started to swing to and fro.

"Metronome is really risky attack", Leah commented. "Why's she using that?"

"It's risky, but if it works, it'll take lots of points from Dan", Drew said.

Munchlax stopped its swinging, opened its mouth and blasted out rainbow-coloured beam.

"Dodge, Tropius!" Dan yelled, but too late. Tropius got hit and cried loudly.

"Metronome gave us Aurora Beam. Since Tropius is Grass and Flying type pokémon, ice type attack is super effective! Dan loses points. And we have three minutes left!"

Tropius struggled to get back on its feet. When it finally did, it huffed and was already badly beaten. Dan had about one quarter of his points left. May had bit over half.

"Tropius, fly up and use Synthesis!" Dan ordered. His pokémon jumped up and flew almost to roof. There it started to glow in green while healing itself.

If he completes that, we'll have to start over again… May thought. So our only hope is... "Munchlax, SolarBeam as fast as you can!" Munchlax again opened its mouth to gather light.

"Now it's all about speed. Which will finish faster? And clock is ticking!"

Munchlax blasted light ball from its mouth. Tropius was still middle of healing and couldn't move, so it took hit and fell on ground.

Judges flashed big red X from their screen.

"And Tropius is unable to continue! Which means May's the winner!"

"Yeah!" May jumped into air while audience cheered loudly. Munchlax came to her and she hugged it. "Well done Munchlax, you were great."

"This means May will move to final round", Marian told. "Who will be her opponent there, we'll see soon!"

May rushed back waiting room. "I won! I won!"

"We saw", Drew laughed and patted her head to clam her down. Leah smiled.

"I guess it's our turn now?"

May wished them luck when they left.

"In second match we have Leah and Drew, Top 2 of first round!" Marian announced. "And let's go!"

"Vulpix, show time!" Leah released fox pokémon from middle of red confetti.

"Flygon, let's go!" Dragon pokémon came of with blue notes.

"It's Vulpix against Flygon now."

Both trainers started attacking at same time, with the same attack. "Flamethrower!" Both pokémon blasted fire from their mouths. They hit together at middle of stage, causing explosion.

"The smoke covers the whole area!" Marian said. "It's hard to see what's happening."

"Flygon, clear the area with Sandstorm!" Drew ordered. Flygon swung its wings and caused sandstorm which flew across the stage, pushing the smoke further. Drew now had straight view to Leah's corned… but where was Vulpix?

Leah smirked. "Secret Power, Vulpix!" The fox pokémon jumped out from the smoke, its body glowing pink.

"Dodge!" Flygon flew out of the way and Vulpix crashed into ground. "I have seen May use that move so many times already that I have learnt to counter it." He chuckled.

"Damn…" Leah snapped her fingers same time as her points fell.

The two kept launching attack to each others. Both lost points.

"And now, we have one minute left!" Marian informed. At the time, Leah had only few points left, while Drew had almost half. "Drew has a good lead."

"This is not over yet", Leah told. "Vulpix, Overheat!" Vulpix shot huge fireball from its mouth towards Flygon.

"Flygon, fly up!" Dragon pokémon jumped into air and dodged the fire.

"And Leah is out of points! Meaning that Drew is the winner and moves to finals!" Audience cheered. Drew bowed and returned his pokémon.

Leah stared in front of herself. Then she sighed. "Oh well."

"That was good battle", May said when Drew came back to waiting room.

"Thanks", he replied. "So it's you and me next, eh?" He smirked.

"You better be prepared, since I'm going to win!"

"We'll see."

"I can't wait to see you two on stage", Leah said, appearing behind them. She was back to her normal clothes.

"Thanks, Leah", May smiled. "And too bad you lost."

"Naw, it's nothing", red-head smiled back. "You can't win them all, don't they say so."

"Well you sure came good challenge", Drew told.

"Thanks, but in the end you were better."

...

"Now people, it's the time you have all been waiting for!" Marian said into her mike. "And that's final battle of Jublife City Pokémon Contest! Here are our lucky finalists; on my left is May", she stretched her arm to May's direction, "and on my right, Drew!" She pointed towards Drew's direction. "These two kids are both from Hoenn region. They have already competed in Hoenn, Kanto and Johto contests, with a mention worth ranks in all three Grand Festivals!

Let's not waste anymore time! The time limit is five minutes! Let the game begin!"

May took out her pokéball. "Munchlax, on stage!" she shouted and tossed it into air. Her pokémon appeared from the ball surrounded by pink hearts.

"Roselia, you're up!" Drew shouted as his pokéball flew into air, releasing his flower pokémon again (a/n: I don't really know if it's legal to change at this spot. but now it is) with blast of flames.

"And the pokémon are out! And the clock is ticking!"

"Munchlax, Focus Punch!" May ordered, and Munchlax charged towards Roselia.

"May starts out with Focus Punch, but Roselia only stands waiting", Marian wondered.

Drew smirked. "Magical Leaf!"

Roselia raised its arm and pointed it towards Munchlax. The rose started to shine and shot glowing, sharp leaves to Munchlax and forced it to stop charging.

"Offence is the best defence, don't they say?" Marian said. "And May loses points!"

"Now use Stun Spore!" Roselia started spinning, releasing yellow spore.

"Munchlax, quickly, get up and blow it away!"

Munchlax jumped back to its feet. It pulled lot of air into it and blew. The spore went backwards to Roselia, who jumped out of its way. Both lost points.

"Metronome!" May yelled. Munchlax raised its fingers up and started to wave them. Its fingers' glow spread and soon covered Munchlax into light ball. When it disappeared, Munchlax was sitting on the ground, snoring.

"Wh-what?" May stared at her pokémon.

"Oh no, it looks like that Metronome gave us Rest!" Marian wailed. "May's Munchlax in fast asleep. But her points are not." May's points fell. "And we have three minutes left!"

Roselia laughed while pointing Munchlax. Drew chuckled and shook his head.

"Oh no!" Leah groaned at backstage.

"No! Munchlax, come on! Snap out of it!" May hustled.

"Sorry, May, but I think this ends here", Drew said. "Roselia, SolarBeam!" Roselia raised its hands up and started to gather light to the roses.

May panicked. She had left all pokéblocks to her bag because dress didn't have pockets. How could she wake up Munchlax?

Roselia lowered its hands and shot the light, sending Munchlax into wall. And it kept snoring.

"Munchlax must think it's seeing a nightmare! And May loses points!" May now had lost already more than a half of her points.

"Argh! Munchlax, wake up already!" May shouted. Munchlax just scratched its belly. Roselia kept laughing.

"Why don't you give up?" Drew asked smirking.

May bit teeth. She turned to Munchlax. "Munchlax, if you don't wake up at this instant, you won't get food for a week!"

Munchlax's eyes shot open and it jumped on its feet. May smiled smugly. Drew stared her with I-can't-believe-it-actually-worked-face.

"Food is a good way to threaten pokémon like Munchlax", Marian sweat dropped. Audience laughed while Munchlax padded back to stage. "And two minutes left. Drew has a significant lead."

"But we're back in action!" May smirked. "Munchlax, Tackle!" Munchlax ran towards Roselia. This time its charge succeeded and Roselia flew backwards. Drew's points fell.

"Munchlax, use Focus Punch!" Munchlax started another charge, its fist glowing. It swung it towards Roselia around the stage, the flower pokémon jumping ahead of it dodging. Munchlax succeeded to land few hits. Both lost some of their points.

"Roselia can't keep that up forever", May said smiling, but her face fell when she saw Drew was smirking. "What?"

"Nothing."

Munchlax started to slow down. The glow in its hand dimmed.

"What?"

Drew smirked and flicked his hair. "Roselia was using Mega Drain while your Munchlax kept charging."

"That was quite of plan", Marian said. "Coordinators' points are now even, and both have only few points left. And they have one minute time anymore!"

For a few seconds both sides thought what they could do. And at the same time, they shouted their orders.

"Munchlax!"
"Roselia!"
"SolarBeam!"

Both pokémon started to gather light to them. Audience watched in excitement. This attack would settle the battle. It only mattered of which side would be ready first.

"Now!"

Both Munchlax and Roselia fired their beam. They flew towards their targets, side by side. Two hits, two cries.

"What! Both pokémon got hit! And both coordinators are out of points!" Marian yelled. "This is unbelievable! Will another of them stand up?"

Munchlax and Roselia struggled their way back to their feet. Both trembled and tried to keep up.

"You can do it Munchlax!"

"Hang in there Roselia!"

The pokémon stared each others. Then… Munchlax fell on the ground fainted.

"And Munchlax has fallen! Which means Drew is the winner!" Audience cheered loudly.

Roselia came to Drew smiling. Drew knelt and petted its head.

"Good job." He took a pokéblock case from his pocket and gave few to the pokémon. While it ate, he turned his head to May who was trying to cheer Munchlax up. She raised her head just at the same time and smiled to him. Drew smiled back.

...

"This has been very great contest. We saw many good coordinators, many good battles, but in the end, only one can be the winner. And here he is! Drew from LaRousse!" Audience and other coordinators applauded while Marian talked. "And now, we're happy to grant him with the Jublife City Ribbon!"

"Congratulations, young lad", Mr. Contesta said and gave the Ribbon.

"Thank you", Drew replied and took it.

Contest Hall was filled with cheers and claps.

...

After the award ceremony May and Drew said byes to Leah in front of the Hall.

"I hope we see again later", Leah said.

"Me too", May told. "But at least at the Grand Festival!"

Leah giggled. "Well, I wasn't planning to wait that long, but yes." She shook their hands and left.

"Bye Leah, see ya!" May waved.

"So, what's our next destination?" Drew asked.

May raised her shoulders. "Who knows. We can decide that tomorrow." She wrapped her hands around his neck.

Drew smirked. "Fine with me." And he pulled her into kiss.


How did ya like? Oh, and when I said they're gonna have two new friends... Dan is NOT another of them. The other comes in next story. Leah is the other one. I'm drawing a picture of the four kids. Other one is (SPOILERSPOILER) named Seth. They're actually named after Leah and Seth Clearwater from Twilight. But here they're not siblings. They don't know each others. Yet. Maybe in future. I have idea. But I won't tell it to you. Haahaahaa

...Anyway, next story is coming out ...some time. I don't know. I have actually ideas, so I might start writing right away.
