"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Everyone in the audience screamed as they rose to their feet.
"Great now lets ready to START!!!!"
Chapter 4: Stage 1
"But first a word from the famous Norman himself," called Lillian as she motioned to the right stage entrance. Out of it came Norman and the crowd exploded with applause.
"Thank you for coming to my daughter's 18th birthday and I hope she was surprised that when she saw all of you and I hope you all enjoy her and her friends who are all well known thought all of the lands were they perform in," Norman said, "So let me hand this to Lillian so we can start this party!!"
"And for May the judges were asked by Norman and his wife to come and work the contest so here we are sitting in front of all of you and starting this contest. So let me well come our two traveling judges Mr. Rauk Contesta, Mr. Sasuko, Pettleburg's own Nurse Joy, and my sisters who are here to help me MC Vivian and Marian!!"
"And with that we call out our first entry Robert." Vivian said as a long blonde hair man walked out on to the stage.
-In the V.I.P waiting room-
"Hey May where did you go?" asked Emma as May sat down next to her friends on the couch in the waiting room for the contestants who needed to wait for their turn.
"Oh just my thinking place in the woods." May said as she closed her eyes and relaxed.
"Hey May shouldn't you be going up soon?" Jade asked.
"No daddy wanted me to go last to keep up the suspense I think." May said with her eyes still closed.
"May...May!?! MAY!!! GREEN ALERT." Molly shouted.
May's eyes slowly opened to see jade eyes looking at her with an argent smirk attached. May sat up and ginned a welcoming smile after recovering from her shock.
"Hey Drew," May said with her sapphire eyes glittering at him.
"Hey there sleepy head," Drew said as he sat down opposite of May and her friends.
Before May could say anything Jade interrupted.
"Hey Drew. Why were you so late I had to give Molly $5 because you were here after us this morning."
"Well something came up," Drew said holding back a blush.
"Wow great job. Next up next is Solidad." called Lillian
They all looked up to the huge T.V. screen that was mounted in front of them. And soon enough Solidad appeared and released her Lapras. Her pokemon did a flip into the pool as it came out of its poke ball. Solidad nodded her head to her pokemon and it set off. It first did a powerful water pulse attack followed by an ice beam that hit the water pulse head on and it broke into a glittery finish. Solidad bowed and looked up at the screen for her score. A 95 the audience was standing and clapping as Solidad and her Lapras bowed and Solidad returned her pokemon.
"Soledad just keeps getting better," May said with a shake of her head.
"That's for sure," Jade said.
"Thank you for such an amazing performance. Now here is Alice," Vivian said in to her microphone.
-Back in the V.I.P room-
May and her friends talked until Caroline walk in to the room. A girl with long navy hair accompanied her and she wore a pink shirt with jean pants. May bolted up and ran to them.
"Lizzy!" May yell as she and Elizabeth hugged. ( Note: I know her name is Elizabeth I feel like calling her Lizzy)
"Hey you left this last time we saw each other," Elizabeth said as they broke their hug and she pulled something from her pocket.
It was May's water people's bracelet. May smiled and her eyes glittered even more at the sight of it. May reached out and took it. Then she slid it on to her wrist. May looked at the dark jade stones and smiled. Then she looked up at Elizabeth.
"Thanks it brings back all those memories," May said with her eyes becoming glassy.
"May, I brought an old friend with me." Elizabeth said as she put a hand on May's shoulder.
"Hey girl how you been?" said an over confident ranger with blonde hair who had just walked in to the room.
"Jacky!" May yelled as she ran and hugged him.
"Hey I couldn't miss a chance to bug you."
"Jacky its time to shut up!" May and Elizabeth said as they glared at the range.
"Now now be nice kitty or else I won't show you your present." Jacky said as he pulled out a large blue and red box from behind his back.
"W-What is it??" May stuttered walking toward him and the box.
"Open it." Jacky said with an all-knowing smirk as May took the box.
May took the box and felt the thing in side shift. May lifted the top and gasped. Out of it came a small blue Pokemon with a red gem on its stomach and its eyes were outline with yellow dots above them.
"Mana MaN!" it cried as it jumped into May's arms.
May dropped the box and caught the small pokemon. May couldn't hold it in any more she let the tears of happiness role down her face. Manaphy curled up into May's hug and was hugging her back. The room was stunned.
"Lo-ove y-ou Ma-y!" Manaphy said as it felt May's tears hit its head.
"I love you too." May said as she pulled Manaphy out of her hug to cradle it in her arms.
"Hey May. When did you meet that Pokemon?" Emma asked
"At the end of Kanto. Just before the Grand Festive and Ash's second try at Brandon." May explained.
"We also found out that May is one of the water people's descendants." Elizabeth explained.
"Thank you for the great performance. And now welcome out Emma!" called Marian.
"Well wish me luck." Emma said as she ran out and reappeared on the screen.
Emma throw a water poke ball and out came a Golduck. It did a twist in the air before landing on the ground. Emma sent her Pokemon in to its first attack with a voice filled with confidence.
"Now Hyper beam and concentrate it into a star!" Emma called to her Pokemon.
Her Pokemon opened its mouth and made a small orange ball. With its claws Golduck shaped the growing ball into a star, and once it was done a star shaped beam shot up from inside Golduck's mouth. Once the attack disappeared Emma and her Pokemon bow before looking at their score. Emma got a 92. Emma and her Pokemon jumped up and down before Emma returned her Pokemon to its poke ball. Then she ran back to the waiting room.
"Emma you did great!" May called with Manaphy on her head as she hugged Emma as she came into the room.
"May can I hold Manaphy?" Emma asked.
"Sure," May said as she reached up and lifted Manaphy and handed it to Emma.
"Aww you're so cute!" Emma cued to the little Pokemon as she cradled it in her arms.
"Drew when are you up?" May asked as she and Emma sat down.
"Soon I guess I'm number 24," Drew said as he smirked at May, "But I guess your not in this contest since you haven't left yet and I'm the last person."
"Why wouldn't I be in this contest? It's MY birthday. Daddy wanted me to go last. I don't really know why?" May said as she and Emma played with Manaphy.
"Hey I should let Beautifly out so she can see you all again." May said as she pulled out one of her poke balls and pressed the button for it to open.
Out of the poke ball came May's Beautifly. Its wings flexed and showered Manaphy with sparkles. The girls giggled and they didn't notice a pair of jade eyes on them.
-Drew POV-
"She was so cute along with all of her Pokemon. I loved the surprises this day has had so far I really hope she likes the present. I think it really will go great with her personality." But my thoughts were soon interrupted by a voice.
"Yo!" I look up to see the blonde ranger.
"What was his name again? Jacky? I think. Anyway…he was the one who had called May kitty and had brought Manaphy."
"Hey," I said back.
"Do you have a thing for May?" Jacky asked as he sat down next to me on the couch.
I was startled, "How did he figure it out and way ask now?"
I stared at him for what seemed a long time until he laughed.
"I saw you wince when I had called May kitten earlier, but I waited till now to ask," Jacky said, "Since birthday girl was distracted and wouldn't notice."
"But how? I knew I had mentally winced when he call May 'kitty' but how in the world did he figure it out? This guy was good to see that. At lest I think I didn't show it on my face. Did I?" But Molly being called to the stage interrupted our conversation. Molly jumped up and ran out.
-Normal POV-
Molly throw her poke ball and out came her Teddiursa. The small tan pokemon twisted in the air and landed by flipping in the air and landed on its feet. Molly giggled before calling out her appeal combinations.
"Teddy do an Ice Beam for mommy." Molly called to her teddy bear pokemon.
Teddy jumped into the air and spun in a circle with the light blue beam forming an ice bubble around itself. Soon there was a huge ice bubble on a stick of ice that was connected with the floor.
"Now Focus Punch. Then finish it up with a Pound!" Molly called out to her pokemon.
A faint white glow appeared from with in the bubble became bigger and brighter till… Teddiursa broke the bubble and then did a flip in the air and broke the beam with the Pound attack and landed next to Molly. They were showered with the glitter from the broken ice. They bowed and turned for their score. A 90. Molly ran and scoped up her pokemon and they danced around. Then they ran off the stage waving to the crowd.
-In the V.I.P room-
"Molly you did really well!" Jade called as she ran up to her friend and hugged her.
"It was all Teddy. I just told him what to do," Molly said as she scratched the back of her head.
"NOT! You too trained till this morning," came a voice from the door.
Molly turned around to see her dad and mom at the doorway. Molly and Teddy ran toward the pair. Together Molly and Teddy jumped into the pair's out stretched arms. The family hugged and they both kissed Molly before placing her on the floor. Molly returned Teddy to his poke ball before she sat next to Jade and they all continued to watch the TV.
"Now we welcome Jade to the stage," Marian called.
Then there on the screen appeared the sea green haired girl. Jade jumped into the air and tossed her poke ball into the air. Opening in mid-air out came her Flareon. The firedog landed swiftly on its paws.
"Now use Ember and then Iron Tail." Jade called.
Flareon let out small balls of fire that combined together to make a huge orange glowing ball. Then the firedog leaped in to the air did a series of flips. Then its tail turned white and started to glow brighter. Now free falling to the ground Flareon hit the Ball with all its might. The ball made a humming sound before bursting into red-orange glitter that blew with the breeze and blew around and covered the stag. Flareon landed on her paws and bowed along with Jade.
Jade looked at the screen to see her score. She got an 84. Jade smiled and hugged her Flareon before walking back into the back room.
--In the V.I.P room--
"That was great!!!" May, Emma, and Molly yelled as Jade walked in.
The three hugged Jade with all their might before letting go when Misty had walked into the room.
"Great job sis," Misty said as she hugged her sister gentle.
"Thanks Sissy," Jade said hugging Misty back.
May pulled Jacky out into the hall as the rest of them watched the person on the TV, and Misty left for her seat. She looked at the sleeping pokemon in her arms before looking at Jacky.
"Hey Jacky truthfully now why did you come and why did you bring Manaphy for me?" May asked.
"Well I got over the fact that you didn't mean to hold the egg when Manaphy hatched," Jacky explained, "And I guess that you were a better mom to Manaphy then I would have been."
May was about to say something when she heard Jade scream. May and Jacky ran back into the room to see what was up.
"OMFG THE FLYING SNOWY TEME IS HERE TOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" Jade yelled as the two of them entered the room.
"May care to explain?" Emma asked as she grabbed Jade's arms and Molly grabbed her arms along with Lizzy, and Drew.
"Alright…OMFG means what we all know is means and the flying snowy teme… is BRENDAN!!!" May said as she saw the white haired boy on the screen.
"Oh………..Him!" Molly said as she too looked at the screen with disgust.
The boy had white hair and wore a green and black headband. He and his Swampert had just finished their routine and they had gotten 88 points. May and the girls calmed Jade down and May said that she would talk to her dad about making the two of them battle. Now the last few people went.
"Now we welcome Drew to the stage." Vivian called.
Drew stood and walked to the door. Before he left May ran to the door after him.
"Good Luck Drew," May called after him.
Drew soon appeared on the screen. He throws his poke ball into the air. Out came an adorable little pokemon.
"RRRRRioLLLLu!!!!" called the little pokemon.
"Riolu use Twister," Drew called to the small pokemon.
Riolu jumped into the air and twisted in the air and made a huge dark brown whirl of wind. Riolu jumped head first into the twister.
"Now Flash and then Metal Claw," Drew called.
Riolu brought his paws together and made a large blinding white light that broke though the dark whirl of wind. Them his paws glowed once again and cut though the dark brown whirl of wind like it was butter knife. Then the small pokemon landed on its feet and looked at his master. Drew and Riolu bowed to the crowd of standing clapping people. They both looked at the screen and they got 100 points. Then they walked back to the V.I.P room.
-In the V.I.P room-
Once Drew walked into the room all he saw was a flash of red and brown before May wrapped him in a hug. Drew almost blushed but had held it in when he saw everyone looking at them. Riolu stood in the room next to Emma and was playing with Manaphy.
"Drew that was so awesome!!!" May yelled.
"Ahh…Thanks," Drew said.
"May I think you can let go of him now," Jacky said.
May let Drew go and calmly walked over to Emma and the pokemon. May scoped up Riolu and cuddled him in her arms. Pulling the small pokemon up to her face and kissing it on its head.
"Awww you did a great job too Riolu," May said as she rocked the pokemon back and forth in her arms.
"May…May your On!!!" Lizzy yelled pointing at the screen as May's Mom and Dad walked on stage.
"We would love to thank all of you that came here and all of you who have waited for our birthday girl to come out. So here she is May Maple!!!!," Caroline called to the crowd.
May placed Riolu on the couch next to Emma before running out of the room. She reappeared on the screen with her arms above her head waving to all her friends in the crowd. Then she pulled out her poke ball. She throw it up into the air and out of the icy blue ball came out her Delcatty. It did a flip in the air before landing on its feet and shaking its head making the bells on its collar ring.
"Blizzard!" May called to her pokemon, "And then Double Slap."
Delcatty launched into a flip and then let out the snowy wind from her mouth. The snow curved around the purple fur making it glisten. Soon there was a huge block of ice in the middle of the stage with the large purple cat pokemon standing at the top. Now the cat jumped and flipped with its tail down and spinning. The ice shattered and formed a huge pointy top tower.
"Thunder Bolt!!" May called out to her pokemon.
The cat stood at the tippy-top and collected small golden glitter in the purple coat. And then they started to arch and then a huge bolt of lightning hit the cat and the ice. Once it disappeared the ice was crystal clear and glowed. Delcatty landed next to May and they both bowed. They had gotten a 100. The two jumped up and down before running back to the others.
-In the V.I.P room-
"May that was great!!!" Lizzy yelled as she hugged May as she walked into the room.
"Thanks but it was Delly who did the work." May said as she hugged Lizzy and looked at the purple cat who was now playing with Manaphy and Riolu.
"Hey Drew what did you think??" May asked.
"You did great May, but you need to not look for reassurance in others."
"Drew I like to hear what you think but I'm not sure why I do!!"
May walked over to where Emma and the pokemon where playing. Jacky walked over to Drew and pulled the greened hair boy way from the group of girls.
-Drew P.O.V.-
"Dude you gotta be nice to her she was looking for your reassurance that's all," Jacky explained to the younger boy.
"I never thought of it that way." Drew said.
"Well you see when a girl asks you how she did she knows truthfully that you are better and she hopes you acknowledge her as an equal. Get it?"
"Yeah."
"So calm down on the insults and sarcasm. May doesn't always see the sarcasm." Jacky said as he walked calmly into the room.
Drew followed him thinking hard about what Jacky had told him. That's when he heard a low growl. He looked up to see an Umbreon, Leafeon, Jolteon, and a Flareon standing in front of him growling with the hair on their backs sticking up. Drew was truly confused till Lizzy came and walked him to where she and Jacky stood. Jacky stood there holding a worried Manaphy and Lizzy held Drew's Riolu which was struggling to help the others out and Delcatty stood at her feet again with the same split mood of worry and wanting to help.
"Way are you here?" Drew heard Molly snarl at someone at the door.
"Just thought I would come and say hello to my favorite girls," Said a cocky voice at the door.
Drew looked and saw Brendan. He was leaning against the doorframe. He now moved and walked slowly to the girls. The four Eevee evolution crouched lower and the hair on the back of their necks stood up. Lizzy shoved Riolu into Drew's arms and grabbed May's Delcatty who had too just crouched her tail stone still waiting to pounce at the man. Drew gripped Riolu harder as the small pokemon struggled in its trainer's arms.
"Get..Out..Now!!" May said in a low threatening voice as she stepped forward standing in-between her Umbreon and Emma's Leafeon.
Brendan hesitated for a second but it went unnoticed and he continued toward the line of girls and pokemon. Emma, Molly, and Jade walked forward and joined May. Emma between Jolteon and Umbreon. Jade between Leafeon and Flareon and Molly stood next to Flareon.
"One more step and they go." Jade said in a strong voice.
The four girls now held out their right hand ready to snap at any moment. Brendan now stopped he was way too close to May and Jade for Drew's liking. Drew noticed that Riolu and Delcatty even Manaphy had stopped struggling and Lizzy let go of Delcatty. She motioned for Drew to let go of Riolu. So Drew gentle put the pokemon on the ground Jacky too put Manaphy on the ground.
"Phph this time I'll go, but next time I will get what I want!!!" Brendan said as he turned and walked out of the room.
The girls and the pokemon now calmed. The girls walked back to the couches and fell on to them. The pokemon all ran over to the four to see if they were okay. Umbreon curled up next to May, Flareon next to Jade , Leafeon next to Emma, and Jolteon next to Molly. Delcatty to curled up next to May and her Beautifly landed on her head. Jacky picked up Manaphy and walked the water pokemon to May and set it on her lap. Riolu now pulled on Drew's pant leg and Drew put the tired pokemon back into its poke ball.
"Wow May you sure are popular with the pokemon," Lizzy commented and they all laughed.
"Now let us announce the final 8 finalist," Marian called.
"Robert, Molly, Drew, Jade, Emma, Brendan, Solidad, and…" Vivian called out as their pictures appeared on the screen above her.
"May!!!!" Lillian called out loudly and The crowed cheered for all of the winners.
"And now the 2nd stage will begin," Vivian said.
"And here are the match ups," Marian call.
The pictures flipped to their backs and were shuffled by the computer. And when they turned over The group in the V.I.P room's mouth's dropped.
