Chapter 4:

Disappointing End

"Can our first contestants Kenny and Anastasia proceed onto stage?"

Stacey gulped. Her Mothim, seeing this, landed on her head. Stacey giggled. "Yeah, I know we're gonna do great, Honey." Dawn smiled. "Don't worry, you'll do great." Stacey nodded. "Thanks Dawn, I'll beat Kenny for ya!"

-------------------

Kenny and Stacey entered the battlefield, each looking confident. With five minutes on the clock, the battle began.

"Honey, Center Stage!" Confetti showered Mothim as it entered.

"Prinplup, Let's Go!" Stars enveloped the penguin pokemon.

Both pokemon entered the field, looking just as confident as their trainers. Kenny called the first move.

"Prinplup, use bubblebeam." Blue bubbles shot out of Prinplup's mouth at once

"Honey, sliver wind!" the gray bright winds blew gracefully to Prinplup

The sliver wind clashed beautifully with the bubbles, making sparkles cover the field. The sparkles showed off Mothim's coat brilliantly. Kenny lost some points.

"Honey, psybeam!" beams shot of his eyes

"Jump, Prinplup!"

Prinplup soared well above Honey. "Now, use drill peck!" Prinplup did a counterclockwise spin and hit Honey directly. Stacey lost a lot of points.

"Honey, psybeam once more!" Colorful beams of light shot out of Honey's eyes

"Prinplup, use metal claw." Prinplup's fins lit up brightly.

In a flash, Prinplup stopped the psybeam cold, causing Stacey to lose more points. It soared toward Honey and scored a direct hit. Stacey's points were now well below the halfway mark.

"With the points reaching the 30 minute mark, who will win the battle?" Marian asked the crowd with suspense. Stacey gritted her teeth.

"Prinplup, let's finish this with a bubblebeam!" bubbles shot out of Prinplup's mouth once more.

"Dodge with an ariel ace!" Mothim successfully dodged the attack and hit Prinplup. Kenny lost more points.

"Prinplup, metal claw!" The shininess returned once more on Prinplup's claw.

"Ariel ace!" Honey wheeled toward Prinplup.

"And that's it!"

The clock chimed suddenly after the two pokemon collided. The anxious trainers altered their gaze from their exhausted pokemon to the points on the clock. Though it was close, Kenny had won and was moving on to the next round.

"And it looks like Kenny will be moving on to the next round!"

Stacey smiled sadly. She went to comfort Honey, who looked disappointed as well. "Hey," she told him. "You did great Honey." Honey flutter to her and landed on her head. "Maaa!" He said affectionately.

---------------------

The sun set over the horizon as the contest finished with Dawn as the victor. Stacey sat outside the contest hall, already thinking about new combinations for the next contest. The trio approached her.

"What?" Stacey asked as the surrounded her.

"We want you to travel with us." Ash said. Brock nodded.

"Please Stacey? Pretty please with cinnamon on top?!" Dawn begged.

"Well I can't say no to cinnamon..." Stacey said.

And with that, the trio (plus one) left the city to continue their adventure.
