Good evening my fellow readers, and welcome to the newest chapter of Pokémon Takeover: Game Genie! Grateful for getting to 1,000 views on this story. (Don't know if that's a lot being my first story, but still, it's something). Let's finish up the contest!
The gang had headed back to their seats; waiting for both Dawn and May's contest battles. "So what happens now? More showing off?" Brendan asked. "Actually next is a competition between the two Pokémon, where they fight it out." Ash said. "So it's like a regular battle?" Brendan asked. "The Pokémon are given commands by their trainers." Trevor said. "So it's like a regular battle?" Brendan repeated. Shauna spoke, "Each Pokémon fights until time runs out or someone faints. And the winner gets-" Brendan interrupts, "So it's just like a regular battle?" Brendan emphasized in an annoyed tone.
Serena frowned, "Stop saying that! It's nothing like a regular battle!" "Prove it!" Brendan said smugly. The group looked at each other and conversed. They spoke, "You win with style!" Brendan questioned, "What the hell does that even mean?"
Wally tried to calm him down, "Well at least give it a chance. You might like it." "That's what you told me about Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. You were an hour and 47 minutes of wrong." Brendan responded. Wally glared at Brendan, "It wasn't that bad! And you didn't have to come with me!" Brendan glared back, "You kept begging me to come with you!" Clemont intervened, "Quiet you two, stop fighting!" Both boys turned their backs to each other, "He started it!" they both said. The boys continued to look away until Wally stuck out his fist to Brendan, "Still friends?" he asked. "Till the end." Brendan almost immediately responded by hitting it back.
Suddenly Lucas came by doing his dance along with the clap: "I'm…The-Man! I'm…The-Man! I'm…The-Man! I'm…The-Man!" "Why are you so happy, Lucas?" Trevor asked. Tierno danced with him, "Yeah, awesome dance moves!" "Oh no reason, boys!" Lucas sang. Bonnie approached Lucas as he sat down, "Giddy expression, musical-like tone, over the top dancing. I'd say Dawn kissed him or he's on dope." Everyone looked at Lucas in shock, "Gee Bonnie, what gives you that idea? My natural charisma and dashing good looks?" Lucas asked.
Bonnie shook her head, "Nope; you have her gloss on your lips." Lucas quickly covered his mouth in embarrassment. "AAAWWW!" Shauna and Serena said. Bonnie shook her head again and shrugged, "Typical boys." Clemont looked at Bonnie curiously, "What was that last thing you said about Lucas' reaction?" "Nothing." She simply responded. Brendan looked at Bonnie and then back to Wally, "I'm proud of that kid. She's going places."
Cue CONTEST/SHOWCASE eye catch( /22hZueQ3cDk?t=26)
May and Dawn are both in their contest outfits, standing on the center Poké ball on the contest field with a Poké ball in their hands. Shauna and Serena both do pirouettes towards the two. They bow while Dawn and May throw the Poké balls and they burst; causing a lights show.
The girls speak:
Chapter 10:
Spectacle Rematch
The next two battles had May and Dawn advance to the finals to face each other (A/N: Yeah, like you really expected anyone else to face off.) Everyone was on the edge of their seats; except for Calem and Brendan. Brendan trying to entertain himself and Calem simply didn't know what to think. Jillian made the announcement: "Ladies and gentleman, the finals of this Pokémon contest are about to begin. The battle will take place between Dawn of Twinleaf Town, and May from Petalburg City. Trainers, release your Pokémon, and begin!"
"Zorua, spotlight!" Dawn exclaimed as she released her fox Pokémon.
"Mismagius, take the stage!" May yelled as she released her ghostly ally. May began, "This won't be like last time Dawn! We won't lose! Mismagius, Mystical Fire!" Mismagius formed an orange orb made of fire; the orb then shot a flame towards Zorua. "Zorua, use Night Daze!" Dawn commanded.
Zorua slammed its paws onto the ground as a dark red aura surrounded it. The aura expanded and collided with the fire. They pushed each other back and forth until Night Daze pushed back the fire towards Mismagius until it made a direct hit. "Good work!" Dawn exclaimed. "That's what you think," May smirked. Mismagius then faded away, "What happened?" Dawn questioned.
Suddenly Mismagius flew in front of Zorua; startling it. "Now use Magical Leaf!" May shouted. Mismagius summoned a storm of leaves and shot them at Zorua, causing a critical hit. Dawn's points went down by about a quarter. "Wh-What happened?" Dawn asked. "I had Mismagius use Double Team right before the impact. Not bad, huh?" Dawn frowned, "Zorua, Feint Attack! Let's go!" Zorua recovered and dashed towards Mismagius. Mismagius attempted to swat at Zorua, but it faded away and struck Mismagius.
"Wow; it's super effective!" Bonnie and Shauna exclaimed. May's points dropped by about a fifth. "Can you still go, Mismagius?" May checked. Mismagius confirmed with a nod. "Great, you can do it Mismagius!" May said with a smile. Brendan leaned towards the battlefield, "She has a type disadvantage, Zorua clearly is faster, and yet she's still so confident and optimistic." Brendan grew a small smile on his face, "She really is a very strange girl." Lucas nudged Brendan, "Wrong fanfic, dude." "Mismagius, Energy Ball!" May shouted. Mismagius shot the ball of energy towards Zorua. "Dodge and use Incinerate!" Zorua blew a small flame from its mouth that connected with Mismagius; exploding on impact.
May's points fell to 75%. Mismagius panted heavily, "Mismagius, Magical Leaf and combine it with Mystical Fire like we practiced!" May commanded. The ghost Pokémon obeyed, and summoned the leaves while covering them with flames and launched them towards Zorua. "Dodge, Zorua!" Dawn commanded. Zorua tried to dodge, but the flaming leaves connected with ease for a direct hit. Dawn's points fell to 50% due to the combination.
"But Zorua seems so fast; what happened?" Bonnie asked surprised. Clemont spoke up, "With Magical Leaf, it doesn't matter about the speed. It's one of the few moves that never misses. That and the Mystical Fire made for a deadly combination." "Wait if that's the case, then why doesn't May just keep using Magical Leaf to win the battle?" Serena asked. Shauna was about to answer until Brendan stepped in.
"Well obviously it isn't that easy. The more she uses a certain in a row, the more bored the crowd and the judges will grow tired of it. It's great strategy when you start to think about it; geez Serena, get your head out of your ass!" Shauna was shocked but then she giggled, "Didn't think you cared so much about a contest, Brendan. Is it 'cause your girlfr-" "Shut it. I'm trying to watch!" Interrupted Brendan, who was on the edge of his seat at this point. 2:00 minutes remained, "Zorua, can you still fight?" Dawn asked. Zorua nodded its head in confirmation as it got up, but it fell to one knee in pain. Dawn gasped, "What am I going to do?" Suddenly she heard a voice, "Don't you dare give up, Dawn!" She turned to where her friends were sitting to see Lucas on his feet. "I didn't drag Brendan here just to see you quit! 'No need to worry', right?" he said quoting her. "You can do it; beat May!" he yelled with everyone looking at him in astonishment.
"Hey; at least pretend like you're unbiased!" May yelled. Lucas then picked up a sign that read, "Let's Go Dawn!" While everyone else in the group nervously laughed, Serena looked around and reassured everyone, "Folks, we don't know this person. Please believe me." Bonnie deadpanned, "How did he even get a sign in here? He didn't have that when we came in." Dawn was blushing like a Tomato Berry. "Lucas, I…" She then flashes a smile as her blush quickly went away. "We're not giving up yet, May!" May smirked, "Good; this is just getting good! Mismagius use Energy Ball!"
Mismagius fired the ball of energy towards Zorua. "Dodge and use Feint Attack!" Zorua dashed out of the way and hit Mismagius with another direct shot. May's points fell to 55%. "Don't give up yet, Mismagius, Mystical Fire." May shouted. Mismagius fired the flames towards Zorua. Zorua attempted to dodge but its already weakened knee was partially caught in the flames. "Zor!" it cried out in pain; Dawn's points fell to 40%; 1:30 remaining. "Zorua, use Night Daze!" Dawn commanded. Zorua sent out the black aura as it collided with Mismagius; causing May's point's to drop to 45%. Both Pokémon were heavily panting; and time was almost up.
"Let's finish this, Zorua; Incinerate!" Dawn yelled. Zorua sent the fire ball at Mismagius. "Mismagius, wrap this up with Mystical Fire combined with Double Team." Mismagius created multiple copies of itself, and each copy sent a wave of flames towards Zorua. The copies easily overpowered Incinerate and caused an explosion when they collided with Zorua. "Remember our training, Zorua; don't give up now!" Dawn stated. The competitors waited for the smoke to clear; when it cleared Zorua was gone. "Huh?" May asked. The copies of Mismagius were just as confused as May was. Zorua was nowhere in sight.
It's not like it could vanish into thin air; this truly was mysterious. Suddenly one of the copies looked towards the original Mismagius and smirked; "Now Feint Attack!" Dawn yelled. The copy then teleported and slammed into the original Mismagius; the surprise and proximity made the attack that much more powerful. "Wha?" May exclaimed. Dawn giggled, "Zorua isn't the illusion Pokémon for noting. In the midst of all of the chaos, Zorua transformed itself into one of the copies thanks to Double Team. Not bad, huh?" Suddenly, the clock struck zero. Jillian announced, time is up! And the winner of this Mioto Island Pokémon Contest is…"
Dawn: 40 points
May: 30 points
"It's Dawn!" she announced causing the crowd to roar in applause. Everyone was on their feet; "Oh my Arceus! She did it! She really won!" said Lucas with excitement. "That was a fun battle! Too bad they both don't get a ribbon." Shauna said. "Yeah," Wally said as he looked towards Brendan who had sadness in his eyes. "Everything okay?" Brendan didn't answer. "You were awesome, Zorua I'm so proud of you!" Dawn said hugging her tiny fox. "Rua!" it cried proudly. May returned Mismagius, "You did an amazing job; take a nice rest." She turned to Dawn, "Guess that's two in a row for you against me?" she said with slight sadness. Dawn reassured her, "Hey, no need to worry. We really got lucky; plus I can't wait to see what you come up with next." May's smile returned, "Yeah, definitely." The two pulled themselves in for an embrace which was met with even more applause from the audience.
Back in the dressing room Dawn and May were packing up everything, "I'm all packed up," Dawn said. "You ready to go?" May continued to pack, "Not yet, I'm almost ready." There was a knock on the door; Brendan was at the door. "Brendan, what's up?" May curiously asked. "Can, uh… can I talk to you May?" "Um, sure. Can you meet us outside, Dawn?" Dawn smiled, "Sure." She gets up to leave and walks past Brendan, "Hey Brendan." He responds, "Hey Dawn. Congrats." Dawn walked past the door, but she hid behind the door in order to hear her friends talk. May's face saddened, "Come to rub it in, I guess?" she said reaching into her bag, continuing to pack.
Brendan chuckled, "Look, you were right, and I was wrong." May looked up at him, "What did you say?" she asked in astonishment. Brendan sighed, "I thought contests were gonna be a waste of time. And I thought that you had no talent. But I was wrong; and I'm sorry that you lost and for my attitude. Wasn't always easy for me growing up; my therapist says that might have something to do with me being such an ass; but hey what does he know, right?" May giggled as he said this. "I guess what I'm trying to say is, May: You're pretty talented." May blushed slightly; luckily Brendan didn't notice. "It's not my first contest; I'm used to losing every now and then. So I guess I'm not too bummed out."
Brendan grew a little embarrassed, "Oh, well I guess-" May interrupted him with a teasing smile, "But thanks for the compliment!" Brendan blushed, "No, no, no; I didn't say anything." May shook her head, "Nah uh! You said were impressed with me and you were really nice." she said teasing him. Brendan hung his head, "This is my nightmare come true. That's what I get." May got up, "Well, let's not keep everyone waiting," she walked towards the door. She turned and winked at Brendan, "Thanks Bren." He smiles at May, "Your welcome."
The two walked outside to see everyone waiting for them. "Wow, walking together and you guys aren't fighting? That must be a record." Ash exclaimed, "You guys must really be in love!" Both Brendan and May looked at each other and then looked away, "Please!" they both said. "You so are!" Ash continued, "Serena, don't they like each other?"
Serena then sent a dirty look towards Ash; she then huffed and walked away. "Woah, where are you going?" Ash said following her. Bonnie joined them sighing in frustration while Clemont followed her. Lucas felt a hand grabbing his, he turned to see it was Dawn. "Hey um, can we talk; alone?" Lucas nodded and followed her. Cubone looked up at Calem and spoke, "Cubone!" Calem clearly was confused, "What exactly do you want? Is it a Poké Puff? Because if so…" Calem began reaching into his bag for the case; but instead of that, a Poké ball fell onto the ground. He was about to pick it up, until Cubone walked over and hit its head on it. Cubone went into the Poké ball; the ball simply clicked with no shakes whatsoever.
"Huh?" Calem asked. Shauna squealed, "That's so great you caught a Cubone!" "You know what that means?" Trevor asked insinuatingly. "VICTORY DANCE!" Tierno sang. May turned to Wally and Brendan, "Wanna get out of here before he dances?" The boys immediately replied, "Yep!" The three ran off and left Calem to be tortured by their way too energetic friends.
Back with Lucas and Dawn
The two had arrived at the beach area where the sun was setting. Dawn continued to walk while guiding Lucas with her hand. She finally stopped and began to blush, "Is something wrong, Dawn?" Lucas asked. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm so grateful that you supported me today," she smiled. "Even if you did embarrass yourself." she giggled. "Heh." Lucas laughed while blushing. Dawn's face saddened while still blushing, "Now…about the kiss. Well both of them I guess." Lucas continued to blush, "Yeah?" he asked. Dawn began to get flustered, "Well I guess it means…I just…ugh, why is this so hard? Why can't I just tell you that-"
"I like you, Dawn." Lucas finished for her. Dawn gasped in astonishment. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. "What did you say, Lucas?" Lucas continued, "I said I like you. To be honest, it started happening when we first met. I think you're just amazing, Dawn." Tears began forming in Dawn's eyes, "I like you too, Lucas." She grabbed him and pulled into a tight embrace. He returned the embrace, holding her tightly. After a few moments, she looked up at him and pulled his head in for a kiss. Lucas returned the kiss and soon opened his mouth to let her tongue in; they played with each other's tongues for a bit and broke apart after a few moments. Lucas rested her head on Dawn's; she smiled. "Come on, let's see what Brendan's making for dinner." she said locking here fingers with his.
A/N: Wow that was a hard one. Not very good with battles to be honest, but that'll come with practice. Thanks for viewing everyone; review, follow, and favorite this story! Let me know who you would like to see face off in this story! Later!
