(This is for Michelle; you get to pwn May. Sorry about Harley, really. I feel really, really, really bad. Please forgive me...

Edaniel: Please, god, do, she won't shut up.

And does Harley even have siblings? I just made this part up, 'cause it'd be funny. And I don't own pokemon, or Eragon. )

I woke up a while later, somewhere in the Contest Hall. They'd put me on a cot, somewhere in a spare arena. Cacturne and Wigglytuff saw me wake up, and excitedly hugged me. "You guys, please! She just woke up!" I sat up.

"Whozawhatnow?" It was Harley. "Oh, yeah... hi, did I get disqualified?" He blinked. "Um, no, you've only been asleep for fifteen minutes. Lucy, what the hell happened to you?" Tears brimmed in my eyes.

"I-I really don't want to talk about it, Harley. Please. Not now." He saw I was on the verge of bawling, and nodded.

"Okay, hon. But after the contest, please." I nodded. "Oh-okay..." I stood up shakily, Cacturne supporting me. "Thanks, Cacturne. We have to go..." May and Drew were waiting outside the hall. May's eyes lit up. "You're okay!" I nodded.

"Uh-huh. We have to go... the second round's starting..." Drew looked concerned. "Um, you don't really look up to it." I shook my head. "I'm fine. Besides, I can't quit now." As we walked back to the hall, I noticed my pokemon were gone. As if reading my mind, Harley handed me six pokeballs.

"I grabbed them. Zero's worried sick; I don't think he's in any condition to fight, so I think you should switch pokemon in this round." I nodded in agreement.

"Right. Good idea." I managed to make it back to the hall, just as they announced the fighters in the second round. Apparently, in some sort of knockout thing, the girl Harley had fought was in this round, fighting against May.

A few more people were in, and then my eyes flickered down to my name. "LUCY SAXON V. HARLEY DAVIDSON". I almost fainted again. (A/N: And if you did not see that coming, you are retarded. Really. I wasn't even trying.)

He quirked an eyebrow. "Oh, lovely." I grinned weakly at him. "Just... because you're my friend... I won't go easy..." Staggering again, I released Zero. "A little help?" He swung me up on his back. "Thanks, 'Ro..."He woofed, and shook his head in relief.

I gripped his fur as we went out to the arena lobby. I saw a few other trainers milling around there, including that purple haired girl. I went up to her, and introduced myself. "Hi, I'm Lucy Saxon." She nodded.

"The girl who beat Jessie? Cool." I nodded. "How are you still in the running? I thought you lost..." She shook her head. "No, I did. It was just that they had an odd number of people, since somebody got disqualified at the last minute, so they had me fight against someone else, and I won." I nodded.

"Cool. Hey, Harley!" I yelled. "Mhm? Oh, you're Kira. Hello, dear." I poked him. "Say you're sorry for pwning her." He glared at me. "No!" "Yeee-sss!" I kicked him. "Ow! Okay, jeez!" He faced Kira.

"I am most sincerely sorry for pwning your ass. Forgive me." I cracked up. Kira hit him over the head, which made me laugh harder. May sighed.

"Godamnit." I was still giggling when they announced May and Kira's match. "Ooh..." I tried to pay attention, but I was tired.

"Kira strikes back... Rin uses an improved Fire Spin... May tries to retaliate with Vine whip..." I blinked. "May's using Bulbasaur?" Harley giggled.

"Pwned, bitch." I sighed. May was trying to order Bulbasaur to use Sweet Scent in the Smokescreen, but it didn't work the way she wanted. Rin found Bulbasaur by scent. After knocking out Bulbasaur, the judge handed Kira a ribbon.

"And winner of our knockout challenge is Kira!" She cheered, and hugged the strange Ninetales. I clapped. "She's pretty good." I noted. "Who knew?" He shrugged. "Meh." I rolled my eyes.

"You just won't budge on this, huh?" He shook his head, smiling mischievously. "Nope." A few more matches came and passed; we were soon the last people to go. We sat expectantly, waiting for the match to start.

Our ears pricked to attention when the speakers sounded. "Lucy Saxon and Harley Davidson, your match is about to begin." He grinned at me. "Good luck." "You, too." We sped off in opposite directions. I nodded at Dresden.

"You up for it?" He nodded. "Good! Let's go!" I heard thier cheers, as the announcer called, "Begin!" Harley tossed a pokeball. "Banette, go!" I nodded to Dresden. "Dresden, go!" The announcer pounded his platform.

"And Lucy Saxon sends out a shining pokemon?! What more has this girl got?!" I winced. Jeez, we got it. I'm fucking awesome, bitches. Enough.

"Banette, Dark Pulse!" I winced. "Dresden, use Night Slash!" A giant shadow covered his claw, and he struck. Banette was weak against dark, and it hit him hard. I grinned.

Oh, I was gonna pwn his ass... He nodded at Banette. "Okay, use Hidden Power!" I saw a green energy appear, and strike Dresden. "Um..." I faltered. What now? "Dresden, use Crunch!" His fangs dug into Banette, who howled mentally. Harley swore.

"Damnit. Banette, Jagged Zipper Strike!" I was stunned. If it hit Dresden, I was fucked. And then I remembered Eragon. It was worth a shot. "Dresden, block out the energy! Focus on one thing, and throw up a wall!" He nodded, and shut his eyes. "Eon!" Banette's strike hit him... but it just passed through.

I cheered. "Yes!" Banette seemed weak, but I wasn't sure, and we were running out of time. There was thirty seconds left; could my luck stay up? "Dresden, Night Slash! Put all your energy in it!" I screamed. He did so, and struck Banette the only way possible in his situation.

He bitch-slapped him.

I burst out laughing, as Banette fainted. Harley stomped his foot. "Aw, come on! Not fair!" I jumped up and down, hugging Dresden, Zero, Haushinka, Sophonax, and Azrael. "We did it, we did it!" I cheered. "We did it!"

I swung them around. The judges brought me to a stage, and announced, "Our newest contender, Lucy Saxon, goes home with a Ribbon! Congratulations!" I smiled, and put the ribbon in my pocket. As we got off stage, Harley looked at me with more respect. I grinned up at him.

"So, I did good for a girl who just fell in here today?" He nodded. "I hate to admit it, but yes." As he smiled, though, his face suddenly turned white. "Oh... no..." I looked in that direction his eyes had landed on. All I saw was a motherly-looking person, restraining ten kids.

"Mom." He whispered this word as if it was a curse. I grinned. "Oh, that's all? Jeez, Harley." I walked up to her. "I'm Lucida Saxon. Nice to meet you." She nodded.

"Are you Harley's girlfriend?" As I stared in shock, Harley yelled in indignation, "Mom! I date men too, you know!" She nodded. "Yes, yes, that's nice, dear. Come on, we've been expecting you for dinner." And with that, she lassoed him, and threw his tied-up figure on the ten kids.

"Hawweey's home!" They squealed. He was screaming, "HELP ME! LUUUCCY!" Shrugging, I followed them, and sighed. "You guys coming? Zero?" Zero woofed, and followed me. Unknown to us all, Zero was thinking. And it was; 'Zero hungry. Zero want food. They have food. If not, kids my food.'
