Okay, annoucements.

I'm not gonna put in the contests. They'll probably be skipped over.

Like next chapter starts AFTER the contest. I'll only be showing pure Pokemon battles, so I won't be burdened by too much Writer's Block.

Also, warning: Oc. Might seem like a romance, but I know where its actually going.

Said OC was based off of Brendan from ORAS and Calem from X/Y. X3


She was right, surprisingly. She had this.

She could win!

She actually did win… The contest was really just a big blur after the appeals round; she just knew she won thanks to Mamoru.

She was able to add a ribbon to her collection.

The day after the contest, Darky began to leave Jubilife.

However, she was stopped by two Galactic Grunts, of whom began to harass her.

They eventually, seeing as they'd never get anywhere with her, sent out their Pokemon. A Zubat and a Wurmple…

She went to pick out Mamoru's pokeball, when…

"Two on one is a bit rude, ya know." a voice, sounding like it laughed a lot, sounded from behind her. She glanced over her shoulder to notice a boy around her age, with shoulder-length black hair and pupiless pale blue eyes. He wore a simple blue vest over a white T-shirt, black shorts that went to his knees, a blue shoulder bag, and blue and teal sneakers without socks.

"Who're you?" she found herself asking. The boy grinned.

"Just call me Xian." he said, "Send out your Pokemon, I'll help you get rid of these guys. Staravia, go!" in a swift motion, Xian sent out his bird pokemon. I grinned.

"Electric, let's go!" I yelled, throwing my Luxio's pokeball.

The Galactic Grunts looked greatly nervous, but they surprisingly stuck their ground.

"Electric, use Spark!" Darky yelled.

"Staravia, use Wing Attack!" Xian yelled. Both of the opposing pokemon were down in a single hit, much to the grinning face of Xian and the depressed looks of the Grunts.

The Grunts quickly ran away, and Xian offered to go with Darky to Floaroma town, just in case more appeared. She agreed, seeing as Xian was kinda nice and friendly, unlike most boys she knew.

On their way to Floaroma Town, Darky had caught two new pokemon; a Budew she named Carina and a Wurmple she named Chou, in hopes of getting a Beautifly. I had also learned of Xian's other pokemon as he tried to catch a Bidoof; a Grotle.(He ended up fainting the Bidoof in front of its buddies, who them proceeded to attack him and his Grotle, then proceeded to run off with the harmed Bidoof. It was quite the funny scene).

Eventually, though they made it to Floaroma town with enough time for Darky to enter the contest there. Xian had promised to watch her compete, as they had become friends quickly.

Xian had a dream to become a Champion one day, which also meant that when it came to gyms, he was her rival.

She didn't mind that, though, They were friends too, not just rivals. It felt good, really, to quickly make a friend. She was used to people shunning her and running away screaming, like she was some sort of freak.

"Hey, Darky?" Xian had spoken up after she had registered for the contest.

"Yeah, Xian?"

"Good luck."

"Thanks."


Review!

Remember, next chapter starts off after the contest. After that, I probably won't show them, unless its something like the Grand Festival.

But I have a plan for that when it comes to it ):D

I hope you guys like Xian; he's an important character to the series. :3
