When I was wrting this, I was thinking what the * am I doing to Brendan! But anyways, I decided to go with it. Also,thanks to Yin-Yang Yo-Yo, Speedy-Fox-IV, and Itssupereffective for their O.C's. You guys rock! Check them out! Now onto the disclaimer; Winter will you do the honors?

Winter: Wait, where's Brendan? He's supposed to do it! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T TELL ME WHERE BRENDAN IS RIGHT NOW! Aurareader does not own Pokemon.

Midnight- Brendan's POV

I got up before anyone noticed. They were all sleeping peacefully. I slipped out from the bedroom to come face –to-face with an Oshawott. As I looked more closely, I can see it was just a poster for a Pokémon Contest. I breathed a sigh of relief. "Tomorrow, May, Winter, and I will sign up, but I need to get away," I thought to myself. Anyway, getting out of the Pokecenter, I slipped out into the shadows of the night.

I started running quietly, keeping to the shadows of the night. "I can't let anybody see me, not now." I kept running for about an hour, until I come to stop in front of a large pond, hidden by groves of trees. I just lay there, waiting for the worst to come. I took notice of my changes.

First of all, my eyes were no longer brown and round, but pointed with a curve and purple. My hair begins to stiffen up and become pointier, but upwards. It turned black as night. My hands begin to grow claws and black fur started growing. The only thing left to keep my sanity alive was the tuft of white fur on my arm.

A voice snickers inside my head. "You just had to get hurt, huh." It laughed at my pain. I winced at my side-effects of my aura skills. Apparently, every time I get hurt, emotionally or physically, I change to what I am right now. The effects last for about an hour or so, but during that time, the voice takes over. I can't do anything to stop it, but watch in horror at the sights of what's it is doing.

"Just hurry up!" I roared. My speech patterns begin to jumble, before a new voice takes over. Its voice was malevolent, and deep. "Temper, temper, Brendan… after all this time, you should know better than to put others first. Your kindness will lead you nowhere!" it snarled at me.

My eyes begin glowing purple and by now, I lost control. I can see one of my claws is scratching the other arm, but not like an itch. It was sharp as a knife. I yelled out in pain inside my head. Heading deeper into the woods, I can see myself sniffing in the air, for prey. I watched in horror as I see myself catching a Pidove and killing it for food. I try to look away in disgust, but found myself trapped by shadows. I see myself jumping from tree to tree, quickly getting to Accumula Town. I try to yell, but find my voice to be lost. I again watched in disgust and terror, as I see myself ransacking the town and scaring innocent bystanders...

Winter's POV

I woke up around 8 AM and see May sleeping, peacefully, and Brendan knocked out like a light. I turned on the T.V to see a news announcement about a mysterious creature attacking the town last night. After that, there was news about a Pokémon Contest at 3 PM, TODAY!

I got dressed in my usual attire and woke up May and Brendan to get them to register for the Contests. They woke up slowly, but at the sound of a contest they quickly got ready. As we all head down to register, we were interrupted by a voice calling for last-minute entries. We ran to the registration table and registered ourselves.

"Now that's taken care of, who wants breakfast?" May asked.

We all agreed to head down to the local diner and eat there. When we ordered our food, I stared in disbelief at how much May could eat. I seen Brendan eat before, but it was nothing compared to this.

"Winter, you can stop staring now. I know that it may seem impossible, but this is my cousin!" Brendan exclaimed.

"Well, you guys better practice for the contest. You need to think of a performance for the appeal round. Of course I'm going to be using my Skitty and my Oshawott." May told us with a smirk. "Apparently, my Blaziken is in no mood to battle or perform for some reason, so you guys might have a chance."

"See you guys at the contest!" Brendan yelled as he ran to the training field.

I left the group and went to a clearing near the Pokecenter and let out my Tepig. "Ok, Tepig, ya ready?"

"Yeah"

"Okay! Tepig, Use Attract over and over!" A giant suddenly appeared right in the middle of the field.

"Good job, Tepig!" My thoughts were scrambling around on what to do next. "I got it! Tepig use ember on the heart and tackle it up into the air." The flaming heart went up into the air, and at the last second, it exploded into a shower of pink, red, and orange sparks.

A slow clapping sound can be heard as the sparks disappeared. I turned around to see two teenage boys and a teenage girl. The girl was clapping slowly, like a dramatic entrance. The first boy had tan skin, a good build, and was around 5'8. He was wearing a plain black shirt with blue jeans. He had hazel green eyes and spiked up black hair.

The girl had a fair pale skin and brown eyes. She wore a bluish-green tank top, a white sun hat, and a red skirt. I could barely see that she had brown hair under the hat. She had a black handbag and black three inch heels on, which made her, look like she was 5'7.

The other boy was around 5'7 and had tan skin. He had blue eyes and blue hair. He wore a two sleeve orange shirt with long cream sleeves coming out, an orange headband, and an open black jacket.

The girl smiled. "I'm Ashley Beamod. I'm guessing you're participating in the contest too, huh."

"Yep! My friends, Brendan and May are also going to be in it."

The guy with blue hair spoke. "The May Maple, the Princess of Hoenn! Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Karl Seeger." Karl reached out his hand and shook mine. I returned the handshake.

"Yeah, May Maple."

The person with hazel green eyes finally spoke. "I guess this is going to be a hard year for all the coordinators, huh. My name is Kai Anderson and I'm also going to be in the contest. In fact, all three of us are!"

"Well, it was nice meeting you, but I need to practice some more." With that in mind I quickly ran off to another training location.

Brendan's POV- Some minutes before the contest

As May, Winter and I were in the waiting room when Winter introduced us to Karl, Ashley, and Kai. It turned out that they're entering too.

I sighed to myself after meeting the three. "More competition… I love it!"

It was 3 PM right now, so the contest would be starting. The MC came out and begins talking. "First of all, we have 12-year-old Ashley from Pallet Town!"

Ashley came out and sent out a pokeball. "Come on out, Psycho!" Psycho was actually an Abra.

"Psycho, use Shadow Ball, but don't release it!" A dark ball formed in Psycho's hands.

"Now, use Safeguard!" A green barrier surrounded the Abra and the Shadow Ball. "Release the Shadow Ball and quickly Teleport out of there!" Psycho released the Shadow Ball and teleported out of the spherical barrier. "Thunder Punch!" Abra's hand began to crackle as he hit the sphere and the Shadow Ball began to bounce around in there until they both exploded in the air.

"Teleport up to there!" Abra went up there to be showered with sparks. With the performance over, she left as the MC called for the 19-year-old, Karl.

A guy with blue hair came up onto the stage and called out his Pokémon. "Cyndaquil, it's your time to shine!"

"Let's do this! I heard Cyndaquil say. "Cyndaquil, use Eruption!" A series of flames begin to grow on the field. "Use Extrasensory to move the flames around!" The flames begin to move until it resembles a giant, flaming Cyndaquil. The attack ended and they left.

"What a fantabulous performance! Next up is 16-year-old Brendan, from Nuvema Town!"

As I walked out to the field, my eyes were blinded by the bright lights. As they adjust, I can see the spectators, judges, and MC.

"Snivy, come on out!" I yelled out. "You ready Snivy?"

"Ready as I'll ever be!"

"Okay, well let's get this show on the road!"

"Snivy, use Razor Leaf up into the air!" Leaves came out from Snivy and went upwards. "Snivy, jump and use Vine Whip on the leaves!" Snivy jumped and out from her back were two vines that stopped each leaf from spinning upwards, so they're falling now. "Snivy, spin!" Snivy spun around with the leaves, and gently landed with the leaves around her.

I smiled at Snivy and we both bowed to the audience. "Snivy, great job!" I praised her telepathically.

We walked back into the waiting room, where May, Winter, and Kai are waiting anxiously.

Winter's POV

After watching three performances, I felt uneasy. But they called out my name. I walked out to the stage to be blinded by lights."Might as well, give them a performance, they'll never forget."

"Tepig, into the spotlight! Okay, Tepig use Attract repeatedly!" The Attracts continue building up until they formed into a giant heart. "Use Ember!" Tepig breathed some fire on the heart, lighting it up. "Now, jump through and Tackle it into the air." Tepig jumped though the heart and tackled it into the air, where it exploded into a shower of red, orange, and pink sparks. We left and returned to the waiting room where it was Kai's turn.

Kai walked out and called out his Pokémon, an Absol.

"Absol, use Double Team!" Multiple copies of Absol begin to appear. "Now, use Swords Dance!" The Absols begin to dance and glowed purple for a split second. "Now use Razor Wind and Pursuit!" The Absols begin to disappear by a fierce wind and the real Absol appeared in the air, landing gracefully.

After performing, they left to the waiting room.

May's POV

It was my turn now. I walked to the stage to be blinded by lights and deafened by the cheering spectators.

"Oshawott, come on out!" My Unova starter Pokémon came out and looked around in confusion, but quickly regained her posture.

"Oshawott, use Water Gun up into the air!" the water was shot out from Oshawott's mouth and began to fall. "Oshawott, when it touches the ground use Ice Beam!" The water soon touched the ground, and was frozen solid. "Now, use Razor Shell!" Oshawott took off its shell and begin carving the ice. Several minutes later, it was in the shape of a heart on a pedestal and Oshawott was standing on it. We bowed and left. I thanked my Pokémon before returning it to the pokeball.

Several Minutes Later

The MC came out and was ready to announce the results. "All right, the four coordinators moving on are May Maple, Brendan Withe, Ashley Beamod, and …"

I knew I was safe when I saw my name on the screen along with Brendan and Ashley.

"… Karl Seeger!" Karl appeared on the screen, too. I was glad that I made it, but I felt sad for Winter and Kai.

"Now the battles for the contest!" I turned my head to the screen as the MC said that. In the distance I heard a faint sobbing.

Well I got several bumps on my head because Brendan has gone missing for the night. Oh well... Ashley Beamod came from Yin-Yang Yo-Yo, Kai Anderson came from Itssupereffective, and Karl Seeger came from Speedy-Fox-IV. Again, you guys rock!

Check out their stories like Seeing is Believing by Yin-Yang Yo-Yo and The Betrayed Champion by Itssupereffective! Speedy hasn't wrote a story yet.

Also, sorry Itssupereffective for you not making the cut, but still more suprises are to come for OCs !

Winter: WHERE THE ARCEUS IS BRENDAN? YOU BETTER TELL ME OR ELSE! *Loads shotgun

Bye! Oh Arceus! Volcarona help me!
