Chapter 3: Solaceon Contest
Lucas and the others were outside training for their next battle and contest. Lucas was helping Ash train for his next battle at Veilstone City.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded.
"Piiiiiikaaaaaaachuuuuuuuuu!" Pikachu shouted and threw his strongest thunderbolt at Eevee.
"Eevee, dodge with agility!" Lucas shouted.
"Eevee vee vee vee!" Eevee jumped and moved at high speeds, dodging every thunderbolt that came her way.
"After her buddy! Use Quick attack!" Ash shouted.
Pikachu moved at quick speeds, and was able to catch up with Eevee.
"Use Iron Tail!" Ash shouted.
"Counter with Iron Tail!" Lucas shouted.
The two Pokemon shouted and their iron tail attacks collided together, covering them in a bright light.
The light faded and the two Pokemon were standing, panting a little from their attacks.
"Me and pikachu are just getting started." Ash called out smirking.
Lucas smirked back. "Music to my ears."
"Pikachu, Volt tackle!"
"Eevee, evolve into Jolteon and use Wild Charge!"
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted and started charging at the evolution Pokemon, with electricity around his body.
Eevee evolved into Jolteon and used a move that was similar to Volt Tackle, Wild Charge.
"PIKA PIKA!"
"JOLTE JOLTEON!"
The two clashed together, sending a powerful explosion, making the two trainers brace from the explosion. When the smoke died down, the two Pokemon panted heavily…until Pikachu fell to the ground, groaning.
"Pikachu!" Ash shouted and ran to his partner. He kneeled down and picked up the mouse Pokemon. "You okay buddy?"
Pikachu opened his eyes and smiled weakly. "Pika."
Ash smiled. "You did well buddy. Take a good rest. You earned it."
"Not bad Ash. You and Pikachu are pretty strong. Been a while since Eevee felt a good rush in battle." Lucas said smiling, with Eevee on his shoulder.
"Vee." Eevee chirped.
"Thanks. Your Eevee is super strong. Guess I have a bit of a way to go before I can defeat you two." Ash said rubbing his head.
"Pika." Pikachu agreed nodding.
"With more intense training, you'll do great." Lucas said smiling, holding out a fist. "Speaking of training," He turned to Dawn, "How's your training coming long Dawn?"
"It's going great just watch" Dawn said. "Ambipom Swift lets go."
"AAAAAAAMMMMBBBBIIIIPOOOOOOOMM" Ambipom shouted as it spun on its hand with its tails straight up releasing stars from it in a tornado like fashion before they collided with each other releasing rainbow like explosions.
"Wow that is beautiful." Lucas said.
"Eeveee." the Shiny evolution breathed as Dawn went up to Ambipom holding a Poffin.
"You earned this so enjoy." Dawn said as Ambipom gratefully took one before Dawn's other Pokemon came to her. "Here you go" Dawn said giving the others some "It's my way of thanking you all for working so hard."
"I'll tell you Rainbow Swift was great" Brock said.
"You sure gave it your all didn't you?" Dawn said to Ambipom.
"Pom." Ambipom said linking its tails again.
"I've been thinking we didn't that well in the Hearthome contest because we became to involved in double performances. But this time it's just Ambipom and me and we're going to work on showing off one move as much as we can."
"Good strategy Dawn." Brock said.
"Well I can say Ambipom is right with you." Lucas said.
"Ambipom." The long tailed pokemon said.
"I think you're both right so one more time from the top?" Dawn asked.
"Ambi Ambi Pom" Ambipom said ready to perform back flipping multiple times it thought that it wouldn't let it's trainer down.
The four trainers entered the dome, and saw many coordinators preparing their Pokemon for the contest.
"Wow. This place is a full house." Lucas said whistling.
"Vee." Eevee agreed.
"Many coordinators compete to get their next ribbon, to enter the Grand Festival." Brock explained.
"Have you entered a contest before Lucas?" Dawn asked.
"Can't say I have. I usually watch them on TV." Lucas explained.
"I know, how about you compete?" Dawn suggested.
"Huh?"
"Eevee?"
"You have Eevee, not to mention she can evolve into any of its evolutions it wants to."
"Well, I'm not to sure. I can use her evolutions in a performance round, and in a contest battle, but that will only draw attention. Many coordinators would want to get their hands on her when they find out Eevee can evolve freely." Lucas explained.
"Make a good point their." Ash agreed.
"Pika."
"How about you have Eevee evolve in one of her forms in a performance round and one in a contest battle?" Brock suggested.
"That can draw less attention, but still…" Lucas looked at his number one partner. "She's still a shiny Pokemon."
"How about Eevee decides?" Dawn suggests.
Lucas placed a hand on his chin, and thought for a moment, until he turned to his Eevee. "Well Eevee, what do you want to do? You wanna perform?"
Eevee thought for a moment, until she looked back at her trainer, smiled and chirped, "Eevee."
Lucas smiled. "Okay then. I'll give it a shot."
"Awesome!" Dawn cheered. "Just don't expect me to go easy on you."
Lucas smirked. "Where's the fun in an easy challenge, when there are those who can't try?"
"That's the spirit Lucas." Ash said smirking.
"Pikachu!"
Lucas was in the changing rooms. He was wearing a black Tux he packed in his bag, with a black hat to match. He looked himself in the mirror, taking deep breaths.
"Man, I've never been this nervous before." He thought.
"Vee?"
He looked and saw Eevee still on his shoulder. He smiled and stroked her fur, calming her. "Sorry girl. Just a little nervous is all." He looked back in the mirror, and took one last breath. "Okay, let's go out there and do our best."
"Eevee!"
"Rows of fans have lined up in droves stretching down the street as far as the eye can see! In numbers to massive to count they're all here for today's exciting Solaceon Town pokemon contest! And needless to say we're coming to you from Solaceon Town and we're live!" Marian announced.
"Here we go guys." Ash said as Pikachu wore a green kimono with fans as Piplup had a pink cheerleading outfit with pink pompoms. "Lets cheer extra loud for Ambipom!"
"Pika Pika!" Pikachu said.
"Piplup!" Piplup said excited with Dawn's other pokemon who were in the same uniform.
"The winner here will receive this!" Marian said holding a blue contest ribbon as Dawn, Kenny and Lucas watched inside the contest waiting lobby. "The Solaceon ribbon our coordinators are trying to win five of these ribbons to earn a spot in the Grand Festival!"
"And this win's mine DeeDee." Kenny said in his contest clothes.
"That won't happen cause the win is mine" Dawn retorted in her pink dress with her hair in a ponytail as Jessilina passed them whispering that the win was hers.
"All right then it's time for a word from our judges!" Marian said introducing them.
"Thank you I am glad to join every one of you here and to a marvelous competition." Mr. Contesta said.
"One that's remarkable."Mr. Sukizo said
"There are so many wonderful pokemon here I can wait them" Nurse Joy said.
"All right then without further delay it's time for our first round! The performance stage." Marian announced as Dawn's Mom watched from home on TV.
"And here is Contestant numbering one!" Out from behind the curtains Kenny ran onto the stage.
"Wow Kenny's first!" Ash stated.
"Breloom let's do it!" Kenny shouted real easing his grass type with the seal of lines.
A swirl of lines like a streamer wrapping around the light releasing from the ball Breloom came on to the floor with a cheer.
"Breloom Stun spore go!" Kenny commanded.
"LOOM!" Breloom shouted as it released orange dust from its body surrounding it like an aura before it surrounded the stage. "BREEEEEEEEEEE!"
"And Breloom leads off with Stun Spore leading off a fine mist while its body viberates at amazing speed."
"That's amazing Kenny's is using the shine from the Stun spore to show off it's great fur sheet." Brock said.
"Woah. That's incrediable. He raised Breloom well for this kind of competition." Lucas thought.
"Energy Ball!" Kenny said.
"BREEEEEELOOOOOOM!" Breloom shouted sending Energy ball into the air with its tail.
"Now use Mach punch!"
"Breeeeeeeloooooom1" Breloom shouted sending a mach punch into the air causing the mist to be blown away as the shockwave of it shattered the ball into sparkles that covered the stage.
"What a Mach punch with a real hit. We are seeing the beauty of a grass type move simultaneously with a fighting type!" Marian said as the audience cheered as Ash and co looked in awe.
"Using Breloom's Mach punch in tandem was a brilliant and well thought out strategy. " Contesta complimented.
"Yes Remarkable too." Sukizo said.
"It's easy to see from that polished Mach punch to see much Breloom has been raised." Joy said.
"What an awesome job I got to admit Kenny's improved." Dawn thought clenching her hands on her dress. "But I can't give up I've worked to hard."
"Guess I better be ready to give it my all for this if I want to win the contest." Lucas thought.
"Lup." Piplup sighed.
"You're worried about Dawn aren't you?" Ash asked knowingly.
"Pip."
"No need to worry you got to believe in Dawn" Ash said patting the penguin pokemon as Pikachu agreed with his trainer lifting up his spirits.
"Next moving right along" Marian said as the coordinators continued to show off their pokemon like an Exploud and its Hyper voice, Dusclops and willo wisp, and a Steelix with Flash along with many others before Jessillina went on stage.
"And next, Jessillina!"
"I know it's a thrill for you to see me." She said air kissing the crowd who cheered for her confidence. "Now Dustox let's get this party started." She sent out her bug type with spewing hearts as the sunshine showed off the scales.
"Ooh Shine on!" James cheered.
"Feelin' tough and looking buff!" Meowth exclaimed.
"WOOBBBAFFET!"
"Right pay close attention pokemon people and you might just learn something." Jessillina said. "Use Whirlwind!"
"DUSSSTOX! DUS!TOXTOXTOX!" Dustox began flying around its trainer producing a gust of wind that lifted her into the air.
"Look no wings and no strings" she said as she floated with the wind as the crowd cheered.
"Look at that." Marian said
"You're looking at the future of flying!" Jessillina stated. But soon the crowd stopped cheering getting bored.
"Is this what she's going to be doing for the performance? This is pathetic." Lucas thougth unimpressed.
Eevee also had her agreement with this as well.
"Amazing."Dawn breathed.
"You got to admit she's one of a kind." Kenny sweatdropped.
"Now it's time for the big finish." Jessilina said as Dustox blew her into the air with one final gust.
"Psybeam go!" she commanded.
"DUUUSSSTTOOOX!" Dustox fired a multi colored beam at the trainer containing into a sphere when Jessillina land as it exploded upon contact with her screaming.
"That's incredible that Psybeam has collided with those scales and exploded but what happened to Jessillina?"
The dust clear to find her unharmed and standing with Dustox above her.
"Right here!" the red head said as Dustox landed on her head making the audience cheer a lot.
"A phenomenal allusion that explosion and scream had us fearing the worst but Jessilina and Dustox are alright."
"They got the biggest hands yet." Lucas noticed.
"Thank you. I'm drawn too waves of adoration like a Psyduck to water" Jessilina said as both her and Dustox cried tears of joy.
"That was the kind of performance you can only get when you have Pokemon and trainer together as one" Contesta said.
"And don't forget remarkable." Sukizo said.
"The sight of Dustox's sparkling scales was truly wondrous to behold." Joy said.
With James and Meowth they were crying for joying and hugging each other.
"They love she's hit" James said.
"Now we won't get hit!" Meowth stated.
"WOOOBBAFFETT!"
"Next up let's welcome Dawn!" Marian said as the bluette ran on stage.
"Piplup"
"Dawn stay calm and you'll be great" Ash cheered
"Pika pikachu"
"Go for it Dawn." Lucas thought while smiling.
"Ambipom spotlight!" Dawn said throwing up her pokeball releasing Ambipom with confetti.
"Double hit let's go!" Dawn commanded
"AAMMBIPOM!" the two tailed pokemon shouted punching the air with its tail fist releasing shockwaves.
"That's some power." Lucas said.
"Eevee." Eevee agreed nodding.
"Now use swift." Dawn commanded.
"AAAAAMBBIIIIIIIPOOM!" Ambipom shouted as it spun on its hands spinning releasing a tornado of stars in the air creating rainbow explosions.
"Wow, amazing." Ash said in awe.
"It's even better than they were practicing." Brock added.
"Dawn and Ambipom have literally lit up the stage with that star studded swift move." Marian said.
"Ambipom faster!" Dawn shouted as Ambipom began break dancing causing a field of colliding stars to surround it like a dome with rainbow explosions. "Way to go!"
"Wow the twerpete is even gaudier then me." Jessilina whispered to herself.
"Ya gotta love Rainbow swift." Ash said.
"Hmm…" Brock was looking unsure at the amount of stars. "Don't you think it's a bit much?"
"But it has to catch the crowd's attention ya know" Ash said "Right?" he asked which all pokemon agreed with Ash but the judges bellow did not seem impressed as much.
"Ambipom finish it up." Dawn said as Ambipom slowed down and stopped with the swift leftovers going into the air. The crowd cheered all taken by the rainbow swift move. "Wow you were so great." Dawn hugging Ambipom.
"Ambi Ambi."
"Now let's give it up for our final contestant, Lucas!" Marian said and Lucas ran to the stage.
"Go for it Lucas!" Ash called out.
"Do your best!" Brock shouted.
"Pika Pika!"
"Pip Piplup!"
"Eevee, it's showtime!" Lucas shouted and threw his pokeball out, giving it a spin. The ball opened and stars sparkled and Eevee gave a graceful spin, and she landed on the ground with grace. "Eevee."
"That's what I call an entrance. Lucas had chosen Eevee, and not just an ordinary Eevee, but a shiny Eevee." Already many of the coordinators were eyeing Eevee with awe, along with the audience.
"Eevee, start this off with Shadow ball in the air!" Lucas commanded.
"EEEEEEVEEEEEE!" Eevee shot her attack in the air.
"Now mix it with Iron Tail!"
Eevee's tail glowed white and she shattered the Shadow ball, and made her Iron tail coated in a purple light.
"Amazing! Eevee shattered that Shadow ball and mixed its power with Iron Tail, making that it sparkle like the dark night!" Marian called out, making many of the people in the crowd cheer.
"Wow. That's so cool!" Ash beamed.
"Indeed. Mixing Iron Tail with Shadow Ball made it a great combination." Brock said.
"Wow, Lucas is doing great." Kenny said impressed.
Dawn couldn't say anything. She was just as amazing as the audience was. She never saw anything like this before in her contests.
"Now use Hidden Power and have the orbs spin around you!" Lucas shouted.
"EEVEEE!" The white orbs appeared and spun around the evolution Pokemon.
"Now jump in the air and spin with grace!"
Eevee jumped and spun, making her shadow Iron Tail glow brighter and let off a purple path behind her.
"Wow. That's amazing." Ash said in awe.
"He's really showing off Eevee's agility along with her grace in movement." Brock added amazed as Ash was.
"Finish it Eevee. Shatter Hidden power with Shadow Tail!"
"Shadow Tail?" Ash, Brock, Dawn, Jessilinna, Marian, and Kenny asked.
"That's right. This is what I call a fusion move. Taking two or more moves and putting them together as one. Putting Shadow Ball and Iron Tail together make this, Shadow Tail!" Lucas shouted.
The audience and every coordinator was shocked by this explanation.
"NOW GO!"
"EEVEEEEEEEEEEE!" Eevee's Shadow Tail fusion move shattered the orbs, making them explode in sparkles of white and purple, making Eevee more presentable and shine bright.
"Unbelievable! This is one of the very few performances I've ever seen in my life that made me this amazed! The fusion move, Shadow Tail shattering Hidden Power, gives off an amazing sparkle to Eevee!" Marian announced.
The entire crowed roared in cheering, even higher than the last few encores. Eevee landed on the ground and gave a graceful bow, with Lucas bowing gracefully as well, like a true gentlemen.
"Never in my seventeen years, I would see anything like this. This is the proof of Lucas's bond with Eevee." Contesta said.
"Absolutely remarkable." Sukizo said.
"The fusion move Shadow Tail certainly caught me off guard, but it truly made a beautiful finale in the end." Joy said.
Eevee jumped on Lucas's shoulder and nuzzled his face. Lucas smiled and stroked her grey fur, making the evolution Pokemon purr.
"I'm so proud of you Eevee." Lucas said.
"Eevee." the Pokemon chirped.
Lucas and Eevee walked into the lobby and were met with his friends.
"That was awesome Lucas." Ash beamed.
"Pika!" Pikachu said agreeing with his trainer.
"Your fusion move Shadow Tail was really impressive." Brock commented.
"For a first timer in a contest, that was some impressive moves you pulled off." Kenny said giving the trainer a thumbs up.
"Thanks Kenny." Lucas winked giving him a thumbs up as well. He turned his attention to Dawn. "So Dawn, what did you think?"
"It was amazing! You have to teach me your techniques on a fusion move." Dawn said with her eyes sparkling.
Lucas smiled and nodded. "I can show you the ropes on a fusion move." He turned to Ash. "I can help you out as well. Using fusion moves can give you an edge in battles as well."
"You would really do that!?" The raven boy asked excited.
"You bet." He replied smiling.
"So sorry for the delay but we have a decision the coordinators who made it past the first stage." Marian said as Dawn let up a hum of worry making Ambipom look in worry.
"Come on Ambipom no need to worry it's time for us to get ready for the second stage." Dawn said as Pikachu tried to do the same with Piplup to lift up their spirits.
"And now these are the result the eight coordinators moving on the next stage and they're on screen." The screen changed as everyone saw photos being put up with Jessillina and Kenny on the top four.
"So tell me something I don't know." Jessillina said.
"We're alive to see another day!" James cried with joy throwing pink confetti.
"It's da gift of life." Meowth cried with tear running down.
"WOOOOOOBBAFFEEEEET!" the blue Pokemon cried.
Everyone was still watching as the photos still came up none of Dawn's yet and when they had one spot left….
Lucas's pic was seen, and not Dawn.
Dawn looked at the screen with sadness as Lucas felt like his heart was going to break for Dawn as she worked so hard.
"What happened?" Dawn asked herself.
"Oh Dawn." Lucas said sadly.
At Dawn's house, her mom looked sad seeing this as the second time she lost on the first round.
"Oh sweetie." She said sadly.
As Marian talked about who was pairing up against who through random shuffling. Ash went to try and comfort her but Brock put a hand on his hand saying it was not the right time.
Kenny went to try but was met with a smiling Dawn. "Congratulation on making it to the second round Kenny." She said.
"Uh thank." one of her rivals said as Dawn looked to see the heroes sad.
"Come on chin up, don't look so sad." She said.
"But Dawn…" Ash tried to say.
"We're sorry you lost in the second round" Brock apologized.
"Hey no need to worry you know that, I just had a less then grateful day that's all." She said before pushing Kenny to the door. "Come on Kenny you got to get ready for the second round."
"Okay I hear ya." Kenny chuckled as they got to the door. "Root for me."
Lucas meanwhile was upset with himself. He couldn't believe he made it, but Dawn didn't. She worked her butt off to make it this far, and he did a perfect performance on his first try. He wished it was Dawn and not him.
He growled and punched the wall.
"Dammit." He growled.
"Vee?" Eevee chirped sadly.
Dawn saw Lucas upset and walked up to him. She placed a hand on his shoulder, making the young boy look at her.
"Dawn…" He muttered.
"Don't beat yourself up with this Lucas. You deserved to move on." Dawn assured smiling sadly.
"No I don't. I made it through luck. You worked hard for this, and I stole your spotlight." Lucas said with some anger dripping form his words.
"Lucas. Please stop beating yourself with this." Dawn said firmly, placing her hands on his shoulders. "You and Eevee have done an amazing job. Please wipe that scowl off your face and smile." She pleaded.
Lucas looked back up into her blue eyes. He started deep into them for a moment, until her sighed sadly.
"Okay…I'm sorry." He said sadly.
Dawn smiled.
"Well thanks for coming." Jessillina said.
"Jessillina Hi." Dawn said.
"Now don't let the door hit you on the way out." The disguise Rocket member said moving Dawn to the exit but the bluette put her feet in place stopping her confusing everyone.
"I'm staying till the end." Dawn said but Lucas saw her fist clenched in frustration and knew she was angry at herself but was trying her best not to show it.
Lucas's eyes narrowed at this red haired girl.
"What the hell is her problem? Why is she so intent to making Dawn leave and what's with her attitude?" Lucas thought. Then, a hypothesis came in mind. "Could she be…"
The performances went on, until it came to the semifinals. It was Lucas vs. Kenny.
"And now we are here in the semifinals! On my right, Lucas! On my left, Kenny! There is only five minutes on the clock! BEGIN!"
5:00 - 4:59
"Prinplup! Let's do it!" Kenny shouted and summoned forth his penguin Pokemon.
"Espeon, it's showtime!" Lucas shouted and called forth is Physic Type.
"Let's get to it! Prinplup, use Bubble Beam!" Kenny shouted. The penguin Pokemon shot his attack at Espeon.
"Espeon, Counter Bubble Beam with Psychic!" Lucas shouted.
The psychic Pokemon stopped Bubble Beam and the bubbles started swirling around Espeon.
"And Espeon stopes Bubble Beam and had the bubbles swirl around her body, amking her shine!"
Kenny: 89 Points
"Grr! Try this them! Prinplup, Metal Claw!" Prinplup charged with his fins glowing white.
"Wrap bubble Beam around Prinplup and use Psybeam!" Lucas commanded.
The evolved Eevee swirled the bubbles around Prinplup. making the penguin Pokemon stop.
"Prinplup hang in there!" Kenny shouted.
Espeon shot her Psybeam attack.
"Go through Psybeam with Drill peck!"
Prinplup nodded and spun at high speeds, and clashed into Psybeam, making him glow in pink sparkles.
"What!?" Lucas gasped.
"Prinplup goes through Psybeam and gives off an amazing sparkle. Simply beautiful!"
Lucas: 78 Points
"Woah, that took a huge chunk of his points." Ash muttered.
"Pikachu." The mouse Pokemon agreed nodding.
"Lucas better come up with something quick." Brock commented.
"Come on Lucas! You can do it!" Dawn cheered while her Pokemon cheered as well.
"Espeon, dodge it and surround yourself with Calm Wind!" Lucas commanded.
Espeon gracefully dodged drill peck and surrounded herself with a pink mist.
"Simply gorgeous. With Espeon dodging drill peck gracefully and surrounding herself with calm wind makes a perfect combination!"
Kenny: 74 Points
"Nice choice of using Calm wind. It raises special attack and defense." Brock said smiling.
"Go Lucas! Hang in there Kenny!" Ash cheered while the Pokemon cheered as well.
"Prinplup, use Drill peck again while using Metal Claw!" Kenny shouted.
Prinplup spun again while his fins and beak glowed.
"Not this time! Use Psychic to stop him!" Lucas shouted.
Espeons eyes glowed light blue and stopped Prinplup in his tracks.
"Oh no!" Kenny shouted.
"Psybeam once more!" Espeon fired her attack.
"Use Whirlpool!" Prinplup shouted and he and Espeon were covered in a swirl of water.
"Esepon!" Lucas shouted.
"Prinplup makes a counter by surrounding himself with Whirlpool! Amazing!"
Lucas: 69 Points
"He's incredible when it comes to Contest battles." Lucas thought.
"For a newbie, he's good. Guess I underestimated him." Kenny thought.
"I'm impressed Lucas! You're good! Hope you can show me even more of what you got!" Kenny called out.
"Ha! I'm just getting started!" Lucas shouted smirking. "Let's go Espeon!"
"ESPE!" The Psychic shouted and charged.
"Go for it Prinplup!" Kenny called out.
"PRINPLUP!" The penguin shouted and charged as well.
The contest raged on, showing combo after combo.
"GO!" Lucas shouted and Espeon fired Psybeam.
"FIRE!" Kenny shouted as well as Prinplup fired bubble beam.
Lucas: 14 Points
Kenny: 17 Points
0:20 - 0:19
"Only twenty more seconds left! Who will be moving on in the finals!?" Marian announced.
"Wow, I've never seen such a heated contest battle." Ash said in awe.
"Pika." Pikachu agreed.
"Guess Lucas is giving it all he's got. He's something alright." Brock commented smiling.
"You can do it Lucas." Dawn thought as her Pokemon cheered.
At the field, both Espeon and Prinplup panted, along with the coordinators.
"I came a long way, and no way I'm gonna lose." Lucas thought.
"I've never been this exhausted in a contest battle before. He's a worthy opponent alright." Kenny thought smiling.
"I'm impresssed Lucas! Beyond every coordinator I fought, you're one of a kind!" Kenny called out.
Lucas smirked. "Thanks! You're a worthy opponent to fight against in a contest battle!"
"Let's finish this!"
"Gladly! Espeon Use Giga Impact while spinning and using PsyBeam! FULL POWER!" Lucas shouted.
"Prinplup, Use Drill Peck and Whirlpool together! FINISH THIS!" Kenny shouted.
The two Pokemon roared and used their moves and charged at each other.
"PSYCHIC IMPACT!"
"DRILLING WHIRLPOOL!"
The attacks collided and lightning was everywhere and the wind picked up.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"EEEEEESPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"PRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMM!"
"GOOOOOO/GOOOOOO!" The two shouted.
The attacks pushed forward and a white explosion covered the arena, making everyone shield their eyes.
The lights died down and the two Pokemon were still standing, while their trainers panted heavily, with a little sweat dropping from their faces.
0:00
"Times UP!"
The two looked at the board, for the final results.
"And the one moving on in the finals are…"
"Lucas: 7 Points
Kenny: 8 Points
"It's Kenny!" Marian announced.
The crowed roared in their cheering.
"Alright, Kenny did it!" Ash cheered.
"Even though Lucas lost, this is defiantly a contest battle to remember." Brock said smiling.
"oh Lucas." Dawn muttered sadly to her friend.
Lucas walked over to Espeon, who was looking at the ground sadly, "Espeon, you did very well. I don't care if we lose. I'll always be proud of your hard work." He said smiling warmly at his Pokemon.
Espeon looked up and smiled and jumped into Lucas's chest, nuzzling happily in approval by his words.
Lucas smiled and stroked her ears. He got up and walked over to Kenny, who was congratulating Prinplup.
"Kenny." The boy and his partner looked at the trainer. "That was an amazing contest battle, and for my first one. You and Prinplup deserve to move on. I'll be routing for you my friend."
Kenny smiled. "Thanks Lucas." He held his hand out and Lucas happily took it, while the two Pokemon Shook their fins and paws, making the crowd cheer loudly once again.
"Now that is what I call true sportsmanship! Even at the bridge of defeat, Lucas smiles and congratulates Kenny for his win!" Maria announced. "Stay tuned for the final round in our contest!"
Lucas changed back into his regular clothing and Eevee returned to her normal form. They exited the changing room and saw his friends.
"Sorry you didn't make it to the finals Lucas." Ash apologized.
"Pika."
Lucas smiled brightly. "Don't worry about it guys. A shame I did lose, but as long as Eevee gave it her all, that's all that matters to me." Lucas said stroking his partners head, making her coo in pleasure.
"Let's get to the bleachers and watch Kenny's contest battle." Lucas said.
They all nodded and went to the bleachers. In the battle, Kenny was facing against Jessilina.
"Now Prinplup use Drill Peck!" Kenny commanded
"PRIIIIINPLUUP!" Prinplup shouted spinning while his beak was glowing.
"Dodge it and use Psybeam!" Jessillina commanded as Dustox flew above the water type and blasted it with a psychic move sending him back.
"Come on Kenny! Show that woman what you can really do!" Lucas shouted.
"Eevee!" Eevee shouted.
"Quick Dustox Whirlwind!" Jessillina commanded.
"DUUUUUST TOX TOX TOX!" the bug type yelled letting loose a blast on wind sending Prinplup into the air.
"Now Prinplup use bubblebeam!" Kenny shouted.
"PRIIIIINPLUPUP UP!" Prinplup yelled using the water type move.
"Poison sting!" Jessillina shouted as Dustox popped the bubbles with sharp purple needles making sparkles.
"A great performance by Dustox using water sprays to show off its beautiful wings!" Marina said as Kenny lost points.
Kenny: 27 Points
"This is bad I'm losing all my points" he griped.
Lucas looked up at the timer. "Damn, he's out of time."
The clock beeped.
"Times up, and the Solaceon contest ribbon goes to…"
Jessillina: 29 points
Kenny: 16 points
"Jessillina!"
"Dear Dustox we won!" The winner said to her pokemon with joy and Kenny looked down in defeat.
"Our Jessie is in the big leagues." James cheered for joy crying with Meowth.
"Which means we're in the pink." Meowth said.
"WOOOOBBBAAAA WOBBA!"
"And now it's time to present our contest ribbon to our winner Jessillina!" Marian said as the red head took the ribbon.
"A marvelous win is this your first ribbon?" Contesta asked.
"Oh you can say the most embarrassing things." Jessillina said hitting Contesta on the back.
"I must say the Jessillina we've seen today is much more relax."
"Right truly remarkable." Sukizo said.
"And we are all looking forward to seeing you perform again." Nurse Joy said.
"The Solaceon ribbon and it's all mine!" Jessillina said holding it high in the air as the crowd cheered with the contest coming to an end.
"You're leaving already Kenny?" Lucas said as they were all in front of the pokemon center.
"Gotta get ready for the next contest." The coordinator answered having his backpack on him.
"And of course you're going to be their too right Deedee?" Kenny teased but Dawn was still sullen from her lose.
"I don't… think so… not the next one… at least." Dawn said still sullen.
"Look DeeDee don't. I'll never let you quit contest at least until I've had a chance to beat you!" Kenny snapped.
"Ok no need to worry. I'll be there" Dawn defended putting her hands up in defense.
"See ya." Kenny said.
"Take care of yourself." Brock said.
"Keep up on that energy ball Ash. Good luck with your battles." Kenny said to the gym battler.
"You bet we'll finish our battle next time." Ash waved goodbye.
"Yeah and you'll face me too." Lucas said waving.
"Yeah!" Kenny said but also saw Dawn not waving upset and turn away leaving the gang.
"Okay I'm ready for sleep in an hour guys." Lucas said walking inside.
"(Yawn) Meeeeee too." Ash yawned.
"I'm going to bed guys goodnight." Dawn said leaving.
"Dawn?" Ash asked.
"Please leave me alone." Dawn said and left.
Lucas frowned, seeing her like this. It didn't make him happy at all, and for some reason, he doesn't want to see her sad.
"I'm gonna go talk to her." Lucas said and walked to Dawns room. He stopped at her door, and he heard the sounds of whimpering. He slowly opened the door and saw Dawn on her bed, with her face covered by her pillow.
"Dawn." Dawn looked up at her friend.
"What part of leave me alone don't you understand?" She asked a little angry.
Lucas sighed and walked up to her. "Dawn, listen. I know you're upset about this, but you can't stay mad about one loss."
"Easy for you to say." Dawn replied looking away.
Lucas sat at the edge of the bed, and spoke again, "Listen to me. I know what it's like to feel the pain of loss in battle. When Eevee and I started our journey, we lost many battles. So many battles I lost, one after the other. One day, after my twenty seventh loss in a row, it felt like I should just give up on battling."
Dawn didn't face him, but her eyes were locked onto him.
"It felt like something deep within me was telling me to just give up, and other trainers agreed to that I should give up on battling." His face then went determined. "however, I didn't. I didn't give up, because I made a promise."
Dawn then slowly looked up at the trainer. "A…promise?"
Lucas nodded. "Yes. I made a promise to someone, one that I will always keep to the very end. That person is what made me kept going on my training, and my journey as a Pokemon Trainer." Lucas smiled. "I thought I lost my path to my future, but now I found it again, thanks to Eevee, and to everyone around me…including you."
"M…me?" Dawn asked.
Lucas smiled and nodded. "Yes. Ash, Brock, and your inspiration in battles, and the bond you all share with your Pokemon, has made me understand the thrill of battles again, the excitement of meeting new Pokemon. I have all of you to thank for that."
Through everything that had happened today…Dawn finally smiled, but only a small one.
"Dawn…never give up on your dream. As long as you follow your heart, and choose the path you think is right, you can do anything." Lucas assured smiling, while clenching his fist.
Dawn's smile widened a little, and she got up from her bed, and wiped her tears away. "You're right. Thank you for helping me understand Lucas."
Lucas smiled and nodded. "Anytime. Well, I better get to bed soon. Goodnight Dawn." He said and started to leave.
"Wait." He stopped and turned around, only to be greeted by a surprise hug by Dawn. His face went a little red, but he slowly returned the hug, He then smiled.
The hug lasted for a few seconds, until Dawn pulled away and her face a little bright red.
"Goodnight." She whispered.
Lucas smiled and nodded. He left Dawn's room and went outside. Lucas looked up at the moon, glittering down on the planet.
Eevee came out and jumped on his shoulders.
"Vee?"
Lucas dug his hand into his shirt and pulled out a goldne pendant. He opened it and revealed a blue haired women with blue eyes.
(Lucas's Mother looks like Dawns mother. It's default in the Pokemon Diamond or Pearl game.)
"Mom…" Lucas muttered. He looked back up at the moon, and smiled, while a few tears of his own fell from his face. "I finally found it again. I know what I have to do now. I'll continue battling and reach the Sinnoh League. I know this is what you wanted me to do."
"Vee!" Eevee chirped happily.
Lucas looked over at the Evolution Pokemon and smiled. He hugged her while she nuzzled into his chest.
"I'm so glad I have you Eevee." Lucas whispered.
"Vee." She chirped quietly, and then fell asleep.
Lucas chuckled. "Goodnight Partner." He then turned and went back into the Pokemon Center for a good night's rest."
The next morning, everyone was up, but were still waiting for Dawn.
"It's morning and Dawn's still not up yet." Ash said.
"Give her a little more time. She'll be out soon." Lucas said with Eevee nodding.
"I saw the whole thing on Tv" a voice said as everyone saw a red head girl with a dark red long sleeve shirt, an orange vest and jean out her bag down.
"Zoey?" Ash questioned.
"Who?" Lucas asked.
"I saw Dawn's performance on Tv yesterday." The young girl turned to Lucas. "You must be the Trainer with a shiny Eevee and Espeon. I'm Zoey, one of Dawn's friends."
"Nice to meet you Zoey. Names Lucas." Lucas greeted smiling.
"I'm here!" They all turned and saw Dawn coming up to them. "Sorry about the long wait. Huh, Zoey?"
"Hey Dawn. I saw your performance yesterday on Tv."
"Oh." She sighed sadly, but when Lucas placed a hand on her shoulder, she looked up at him and smiled again. "So what are you doing here?"
"I came to help you out."
The two coordinators were out in the battle field, with Ambipom and Glameow.
"Ambipom use Swift." Dawn commanded
"AMMMMBIIIIPOM!" Ambipom shouted use swift the same way from yesterday.
"What Zoey up to?" Ash asked.
"She might be analyzing her moves up close." Lucas suggested.
"Now think what you're doing!" Zoey exclaimed getting Dawn's attention. "It's a pretty move, but the problem where's Ambipom? In the middle of all that flash Ambipom disappeared you've got to remember that your Pokémon are the main attraction. You've spent so much time polishing your move you've forgotten what you've really got to do to show them off."
"That's right Kenny made because he showed off Breloom's fur coat, and Jessillida won because those last points she took off Kenny was because of Dustox's scales and the water prey." Lucas thought.
"Glameow use Iron Tail!" Zoey shouted as the cat like pokemon slammed its tail into the star dome scattering "Now shockwave" Glameow sparked blue before shocking Ambipom who fell back but was caught by Dawn.
"Are you ok?" she asked as Ambipom nodded.
"Dawn do you know why I passed on Solaceon Town after the Hearthome contest?" Zoey asked as Dawn shook her head, "everyone gets upset when they lose when you're not thinking clearly it's easy to forget what's important. That's why after a loss I take time off to recharge and get ready for the next challenge I don't worry about ribbons."
"Hadn't thought of that." Dawn admitted.
"I'm sure we'll meet in the final's someday." Zoey said smiling.
"Thanks Zoey." Dawn said smiling as well.
"Easy does is the way to go." Brock said.
"Hey thanks for the advice Zoey." Lucas thanked.
"So where are all of you heading for now?" The red head asked.
"There's a Vielstone city gym badge with my name on it." Ash said.
"Our name on it Ash." Lucas corrected.
Ash, Pikachu and Brock looked back at Lucas in shock, while he and Eevee smiled.
"You're gonna collect badges again?" Ash asked excited.
"I am." Lucas replied smiling while nodding. "I've taken the wrong path for a long time now, but after meeting you three, your inspirations for battling and the thrills of meeting new Pokemon have put me back on the path I need to take. I have all of you to thank for it."
"Eevee." Eevee chirped in approval.
"Wow, talk about deep words." Ash muttered smiling.
"Pika."
"Then make sure you two win it. It'll be a best present for Dawn." Zoey said.
"No problem. We will, right Ash?" Lucas said.
"Yeah I hear ya." the raven haired trainer said as everyone saw Dawn comforting her Pokemon. Lucas smiled knowing full well that this defeat will make Dawn stronger for the next contest.
"Dawn…with the bond you share with your Pokemon…I know you'll do great in your next contest." Lucas thought, but fails to know a small blush on his face.
