First round Performances

I watched the performances that where being shown, they all looked amazing. Then it came to Shannon performance which I studied closely .She took out her oddish which I scanned with my pokedex '' Oddish, this Pokémon is typically found roaming the forest, scattering pollen as it walks around.''

First Oddish Danced around in a petal dance followed by a razor leaf which made all the petals cut in half creating even more petals ,she then released 2 powders which looked like poison and stun ,they started to change the petals from pink to purple and yellow ,the performance was beautiful and well thought out ."Colorful and beautiful at the same time" Lillian said ,"I loved how she showed the poison and stun powders colors to change the petals color ,Maginficent "Mr contesta said ,"Remarkable "Mr Sukizo said, "Beautiful and cute too "Nurse joy said .Shannon then walked off the stage and the other performances went on their way ,as Shannon came into the locker room I congratulated her ''Great job and Congratulation "I said ,She nodded "Thanks now good luck out there ,your coming up after this next performance "Shannon said.

Squirtle Performance

I watched the rest of the performance that the person before me was doing then a man came and called my name ''Will Storm please head to the Stage "He said, I got up and started to walk over to the stage which when I walked through I saw the gigantic crowd staring at me. I breathed in then out, before the announcer Lillian started to announce my presence "Now making his contest debut, Give hand for Storm!" I threw the poke ball high in the air "Go Squirtle!" Squirtle came jumping out and did a double summersault them landed perfectly on the ground, which looked very cool."Well that was an amazing entrance what will Storm and Squirtle do now "Lilian said,"Squirtle spin and use bubble!" Squirtle spun around 3 times creating bubbles of all sizes around him ,then bubbles started to rise to the air creating a beautiful but cool bubble air funnel,"wow whats Storm trying make Squirtle do "Lilian yelled ,"Squirtle now use your tail to use tackle an get high in the air"i said , squirtle sprang up using his tail and went through the bubble funnel popping some bubble which made the funnel sparkle "wow truly magnificent for a beginner how will they end this performance now "Lilian said ,now squirtle use that tackles power to rip through the funnel once more but this use watergun and a summersalt" I said .My nerves where getting to me ,if Squirtle doesn't do this correctly then will have to say good bye to winning that shot out a water gun and started to summersault through the funnel ,all the bubbles popped as squirtle went through ,then squirtle landed onto the ground and spun 360 degrees and popped all the bubbles on the ground making a cool pose ,i knew then that we did it"Magnificent for their debut I hope that these to go far"Mr contesta said ,"truly remarkable"Mr sukizo said ,"I had a wonderful time just watching these two"Nurse joy said "Wow that totally made some super points for these two ,magnifcent"lilian said "I just hope these two make it to the second round ,don't you " the crowd screamed for me and squirtle ,I went to squirtle as he jumped into my arms "great job Squirtle ,you're the best"I said happily ,"Squirt-Squirt "he replied ,we then walked off the stage returning to the locker room.

The results
I smiled happily the whole time ,I didn't care if we make it or not Squirtle did such a good job, that I was happy enough as it is .When we arrived at the locker room we were greeted by Shannon "Nice job out there "She said ,"Thanks you too"i replied."Okay everyone the judges are now going to reveal the final 8 who will be competing in the second round ,and here they are ,I looked quickly at the TV and it changed showing 8 faces ,Shannon made it and 6 others then ,I saw the 5th face and IT WAS ME!.I smiled and grabbed Squirtle "WE DID IT!WE DID IT SQUIRTLE"I spun joyfully,"SQUIRTLE"he said smiling at me,"Congratulations Storm "Shannon said smiling at me "Thanks, I see you made the it as well "I said."Alright now it's time to shuffle them to see who will be battling who "the faces shuffled 3 times and then the 8 faces went into 4 battle zones the pairing where Shannon vs. Natasha, Billy vs. Rina, Jorge vs. Storm and Desna vs. Fergus. So I was paired up against Jorge ,I turned to see the guy making a face like he was going to beat me ,I then turned to Shannon "Your match is first so good luck and I hope you win "I said ,"Thanks and don't worry I won't lose ,what I'm really worried about is if you can keep our promise of meeting in the final round "Shannon replied, "of course I will ,I won't lose" .

The battles then started Shannon beat Natasha because of the timer running out ,the guy named Billy beat Rina ,then it was my turn to battle Jorge ,I walked onto the field at met my opponent "Okay everyone welcome to the third battle of the second round ,Its Jorge from Celadon city vs. Storm from twilight town "Lillian said ,"I hope you're ready to lose "Jorge said "Go Beedrill" ,"Why don't you" I said "Let's go Mankey".Both Pokemon where brought out into the field and both of them stared each other down "They have 5 minutes on the clock ,let the battle commence!".
Jorge Vs Storm

"Beedrill use agility to confuse Mankey "Jorge commanded ,Beedrill rush down and used agility and surrounded Mankey "look at that speed ,what will Storm and Mankey do now "Lillian announced, Mankey started to look around trying to find Beedrill "Mankey stay calm and listen to its buzzing then dodge at the right moment "I said ,Mankey listened to me and became calm and started to listen, "I don't think that's going to work use fury attack Beedrill"Jorge said ,the Beedrill came rushing towards Mankey back and was really close to Mankey until Mankey dodge quickly to the left and grabbed Beedrill left arm not touching his stinger "Wow even. Greater speed then agilitized Beedrill "Lillian said "Mankey use Close combat", "What impossible"jorge yelled ,Mankey started to punch and kick Beedrill ,We seemed to be winning as Jorge was losing some major points "Folks this is amazing ,I've never seen Mankey learn close combat at such a low level"lilian said to her surprise "This is remarkable"Mr sukizo said, "I never knew this Mankey was this good and I even tend to it just yesterday "nurse joy said , "Amazing to see a wonderful tactic being used in a battle like this "Mr. contesta said.

"Beedrill fight back with your fury attack "Jorge said ,both Pokemon started to fight in combat ,Mankey even had to release Beedrill arm "Mankey now use Low kick"I said ,"not going to happen Beedrill ascend and use poison sting"Mankey dodge the last fury attack then used his low kick and almost hit Beedrill then Beedrill started to shoot poison sting from above ,Mankey was trapped and getting hit and I was losing points "good thinking for Jorge to trap Mankey using poison sting"Mr contesta said.I was losing points quickly and I couldn't think of a way out of there then i got it "MANKEY HURRY AND USE YOUR TAIL TO SPRING OUT OF THERE"I yelled,Mankey got onto his tail and sprang out of there ""NOW USE SCRATCH ATTACK" Mankey used his tail again and scratched Beedrill furiously ."NO Beedrill ",Beedrill fell to the ground and fainted .The judges pressed the K.O button and the loud noise came up ,"there you go folks ! The winner of the third battle is Storm "lilian said ,"Storm took a risk and one the battle I hope to see these to shine in there next battle aswell"Mr contesta said,"remarkable" Mr sukizo said,"yes truly remarkable ,I also like to add onto Mr contesta saying that I'd love to see what these to can also come up with in the next round"Nurse joy said .

Me and Mankey walked off the stage as I praises him,when we got to the locker room I talked to Jorge"Thanks for the great battle I hope we can battle in another contest again Jorge"I said ,"Yea you too ,I learn a lot ,I hope you Win"Jorge said ,we smiled and shook hands and he walked to the stands.

Me and Shannon watched the last match and saw Desna become the winner over Fergus we then waited for the last pairings which will decide who will fight who before the last two battle in the final round."Okay after those last battles we have our final 4 which of these 4 will be the last two standing"the board shuffled again and the 4 pairing finally appeared and showed the pairing it was going to be Me Vs Desna then it was Billy Vs Shannon."So I'm
Going to battle next "I said,"good luck "Shannon smiled and said ,I gave her a thumps up.
Storm Vs Desna
I walked to the stage and stared down Desna ,she seemed to be trembling a bit " Hey what's wrong"I yelled ,"Im sorry just a bit nervous"she replied,I shrugged but I should also should be nervous ,I really want to keep my promise and meet Shannon in the final round ."Everyone prepare your eyes for the First battle of the third round,Like the last round they both have 5 minutes on the clock to do the best combinations they can ,NOW BEGIN!"Lilian said ."Go Cleffa "Desna yelled "let's go Mankey "I said .The Pokemon appeared they started to stare each other down "Will Desna Cleffa be able to fight Storms despite typr disadvantage "lilian said ,"allright Cleffa use sing "Desna said ,Cleffa started to sing and tries to make Mankey sleep but Mankey didn't sleep at all "Wow ,Right now Mankey is using it's ability Vital spirit to counter sing"lilian said ,"Great job Mankey ,now get close and use scartch followed by a close combat"i said .Mankey ran towards a Shrieking Cleffa "Cleffa use double slap!"Desna screamed ,as Mankey used scratch Cleffa used double slap and slapped Mankey right in the face ,but then Mankey carried on and started to use close combat aganist Cleffa ,which made Cleffa have some stage fright and it stood there "Cleffa wake up and fight back"Desna said ,Before Cleffa could ,she took one punch from closecombat and was blown away to the the judges made the loud noise that Cleffa could no longer battle ,"Wow ,after Desna amazing win aganist Fergus I'd think that this battle would be much longer"lilian said ."Desna and Cleffa have to work out that stage fright issue but either way congragulation to Storm and Mankey"Mr contesta said ,"yes remarkable"Me sukizo said , "I wonder why Storm and Mankey keep k.o there opponents ,Anyways I hope the last battle is a long one"Nurse joy said .

As the crowd cheered I walked off the stage and I went to talk to Desna "Hey great battle out there "I said ,trying to be nice ,"No your wrong Storm ,Me and Cleffa got scared and did nothing"Desna said ,"ohh yea why did Cleffa and you get scrated anyways"I asked ,Desna sighed "You see Cleffa get's scared against fighting -type pokemon because of the type advantage and usually we deal with by using sing ,but I forgot Mankey have Vital spirit abilities so I blew it"Desna said ."Don't worry you will just have work on the fear with Cleffa and even if your sing doesn't work you will be able to battle ,I hope we can battle again"I said happily,"yup thanks I will do that ,and I hope you win on your debut"Desna said ,we shaked hands and she walked to the stands .

I watch Shannon battle and watched her blow away Billy and his grimer .Billy came into the room first after his loss "great battle out there Billy"I said ,he looked at me "Your that Storm guy who fought Desna,Thanks but watch out Shannon is pretty strong ,watch out for her Ponyta takedown "Billy said .Shannon then came into the room"giving advice to Storm here who's going to lose"Shannon said ,her voice sounded different this time it was more serious then he voice when we first met "Who said I'm going to lose "I said ,"Yes I was giving advice ,anyways good luck out there you two ,I'll be watching"Billy said .

The last Battle Storm Vs Shannon the heated battle

We where now called to the field which got me nerves but excited ,If could win this battle I'll get the ribbon and be happy about my victory for a while ,or I lose and go to Pewter city feeling like a loser. My nerves increased as I now stared Shannon down ,"Welcome everyone to the final battle of the Viridian contest ,whichever of these two wins they will receive the prestiges Viridian ribbon,Now battle will commence!"Lilian said,"Get ready to lose Storm cause that Ribbon has my name on it !APPEAR PONYTA"Shannon yelled ,"In your dreams,I'll win for my pokemon "LET'S MANKEY"i yelled .

Ponyta and Mankey both came out of there Pokeballs ,and waited for there first move "alright Mankey let's use scratch attack"I said ,Mankey went rushing towards Ponyta"Ponyta use firespin"shannon said ,Mankey got close Ponyta but then Ponyta engulfed it's self in flames and was attacking Mankey ,I started to lose a lot of points as Mankey was being blown back"Mankey get out of there by front flipping up "I commanded ,Mankey grabbed ponyta despite it being engulfed in flames and jumped up flipping behind then stopped it's Flame wheel ,I lost a lot of points and Mankey seemed to burn his hands a bit "Mankey can you keep going "I asked ,"Man-key"He replied ,"alright now use low kick"Mankey was close enough and tripped Ponyta onto the ground ,"Smart move Storm"Shannon said ."Too see Storm making drastic moves just so Mankey wouldn't take as much damage as he would if he did something else ,is something I like to see in every trainer "Nurse joy said ,"yes and Shannon was smart to use Flame wheel to stop Mankey in it's tracks "Mr contesta said ,"Mankey low kick was remarkable"Mr sukizo said . "Ponyta get up and use ember"Shannon said ,Ponyta got up and started to shoot Ember at Mankey ,which made Mankey dodge like he was doing a dance which made Shannon lose some points "Now mankey keep dodging but when you see an opening use Close combat"I said .Mankey kept dodging and i lost only a little point but Shannon was losing a lot because Ponyta was missing .Then Mankey dashed towards Ponyta as he fouund an opening and used close combat which made ponyta fall to the ground ,"where now past the 3 minute mark and both coordinators are neck to neck at half ponits"lilian said ,"Ponyta get up and use smokescreen folowed by a take down"shannon commanded,Ponyta conjured a heavy smoke which i couldn't even see Through "Mankey!Mankey where ever you are ,Listen to Ponyta steps a d then when its close stop it!"i said ,I heard Mankey say "Man-mankey"somewhere in the smoke ,then i heard a bang inside ,I didn't know what happened until the smoke finally cleared and Ponyta was being stopped Mankey but he was also being pushed back little by little."Wow after that smokescreen ,I was sure it was Mankey times up but amazing he was able to sense Ponyta in such darkness"Lilian said ,"remarkable effort by Mankey but what will Storm do know that his pokemon is in such a dire situation"Mr Sukizo said "yes an how will Shannon react to it"Nurse joy said ,"they also only have 1 minute left"Mr Contesta said .I looked at the points and I had a bit less then Shannon and i was still losing some ,"I will not lose ,Ponyta keep pushing Mankey"Shannon said ,I had to react quickly but what can we do now Mankey is at standstill and I can't think of anything unless i get Ponyta into the air somehow .

The Close low kick combo

Then it hit me "Mankey now use low kick and get Ponyta into the air" i yelled ,Mankey ducked down and low kicked ponyta and got Ponyta into the a bit "now use close combat"I said ,"No you don't Ponyta use ember"Shannon said ,ponyta was still in the air and started to shoot ember onto the ground which made ponyta et higher off the ground and the ember was shooting towards Mankey ,but Mankey dodged the ember attack and furiously started to hit Ponyta everywhere which made Ponyta get weakened "NOW USE LOW KICK"I yelled ,Mankey and Ponyta where both descending down as Mankey was still hitting Ponyta ,I had 10 seconds left ,then once on the ground Mankey used low kick and kicked Ponyta towards the Shannon.I hopes that Ponyta fainted or something from that combo because the force of it caused dirt to fly in the air and blocked my sight of the board ,Ting "times up let's see who won" .I shaked as i waited for the dirt to clear up then when it did I stopped Shaking because "I won..."Whispered .
Winning the Viridian Contest

I board had shown I had a few more points than Shannon "There you have it everyone the winner is Storm of Twilight town!" Lillian said, the crowd screamed and cheered as i ran towards Mankey and gave him a giant hug, Squirtle then came down from the stands where he was watching and gave Mankey and me a hug."This match was amazing, to see. storm use that last combo which was a great come back "Mr Contesta said, "I'd like to call that combo the Close low kick combo which was remarkable"Mr Sukizo said ,"to have watched them practice from a far and see them win made my day ,Storm truly deserves the Viridian ribbon "nurse joy said .

"I was so close but you beat me Storm "Shannon said as she was rubbing her Ponytail neck ."Thanks I Didn't even think I'd win at all"i said, we shaked hands.

"Alright Storm we'd like to present you with the Viridian Ribbon"Mr Contesta said .Mr Contesta opened a box and showed a golden yellow ribbon which shined really brightly "Thank you so much "I said as I took
It into my hand "I've got the Viridian ribbon and its all mine "I said cheerfully showing it to the crowd as the screamed."Storm
Because this is your first ribbon I'd like to give you this ribbon case which you can store your winning ribbon and you can also store your gym badges "Nurse joy said ,she showed me a blue case which i took and opened it placing my ribbon in it "Some advice to you is to keep training a keep working on combinations ,and since your also entering the Pokémon league good luck battling the closest gym in pewter city "Mr Contesta said ."There you have it the ending of the Viridian contest, we hope we see all the participating coordinators at other contest and good luck and have a nice day to everyone"Lilian said .

The New plan
As the contest ended I walked with Shannon outside with Squirtle on my head an Mankey inside his poke ball, "So where you going next"i asked Shannon, "I think I'm going to head home to Fuchsia city first and go back to old roots besides in a month or so there holding a Contest there,besides on my way there i can keep entering contest ,what about you what's your plan?"Shannon said .I thought about first then said "Well I'm first heading to Pewter city to get my first badge then I don't know what to do next "I said .Just then someone was calling my name and Shannon ,"hey isn't that Lilian"Shannon said ,I turned to see Lillian running towards us "I'm Glad to have caught up to you both "Lilian said ,"Okay what's up Lilian"I asked ,"well you see When i heard from Mr Contesta advice that you where heading to Pewter I knew that you could enter the other contest as well "Lilian said ,"wait there's a contest going to held in pewter city?"I replied .Lilian shook her head "No in The city next to it Cerulean city which is also the location of a gym leader ,so i was hoping that once your done your battle in Pewter you can head to cerulean and get a badge and possibly your second ribbon. "Lilian said ,"oohhh"I replied "then I'll do that then "I said ,"Im glad to here that"Lilian said "you can also enter as well Shannon"Lilian said .Shannon shook her head no" like I was just telling Storm I'm heading back to Fuchsia
