Ch 10: The Duo contest
"Attention one and All to the Rustboro city pokemon duo contest, our coordinators are working in pairs, Now for our first duo is May and Ash for their performance face. When the fog in the arena cleared and the crowd continued to cheer as they saw Ash and May standing next to each other holding hands.
"Go Wartortle" May said. "Go Croconaw" Ash said. Their pokemon came out of their poke balls and landed next to each other. "Wartortle, Croconaw" They said. "Now Wartorle use water gun and aim straight up" May said. "Croconaw do the same" Ash said.
Both pokemon shot a water gun straight up and the ends touched each other as the water fell back down looking like a beautiful fountain. "Well what an interesting idea I like it" Mr. Sato said. In the contestants room Drew was watching the performance via tv. He was scowling, "Ash, competing with my future girlfriend" He said.
Behind him was his partner, "My Drew were you lucky I needed a partner" Harley said. "Don't worry about them, remember Ash is trainer not a coordinator. He'll mess up and May will see she made mistake" Harley said. "Ok Croconaw now dance on the stage" Ash said knowing how much Croconaw loved to dance and how much the crowd might like it. Croconaw happily ran over to dance when he slipped on the water and fell on his back. The crowd started laughing and the judges looked concerned.
"OH no" Ash said. "May I" He started. "Ash it's ok everyone messes up, but I have an idea" May said. Drew was grinning when he saw this, "You see what did I tell you" Harley said. "Wartorle jump over Croconaw" May said. "Oh I see, Croconaw use Hydropump" Ash said.
As soon as Croconaw did laying on his back Wartorle was launched into the air and then spun around in his shell and sat on the jet stream of water smiling and waving. "Incredible taking a mess up and turning it into a feature, that's coordinating" Wallace said.
Wartorle came down and Croconaw got back up and grabbed his partners arms and started to dance with him. Wartorle was confused what was going on but tried to go with it. "Ash what's he doing?" May said. "Something I was counting on" Ash said. "How cute, I love it" Nurse joy said.
After their performance Ash and May were in the contestant room waiting to see who made it to the next round. "Interesting performance but don't think you'll make it to the next round with it" Harley said. May then saw he and Drew were standing right next to them. "You see May you should have had your future boyfriend as your partner" Drew said.
May scowled at both of them. "You know what Drew" She said but then thought of a better idea. She grabbed Ash and kissed him in front of Both Harley and Drew. "Yahhh!" Drew said screaming like a little girl . When May withdrew Ash's face was red as he wasn't excepting that. Pikachu giggled a little.
"Your gonna regret that Ash Mark my words" Drew said. The television screen showed who was making it to the second round. Ash and May's pictures were the first ones shown. "Well look at that" May said. Drew didn't say a word. After the rest of the pictures came up the television screen showed see who each pair were up against for round two.
Ash and May stood on one end of the contest field while their opponents , a pair of boys one with glasses the other in a work out shirt, stood on the other. When they went to their side of the arena they saw the other two. One was clearly a jock the other more of a science man.
"Alright in this round you must knock out many of your opponents points as possible" The Announcer said. "Ok go Wartorle, Go Croconaw" Ash and May said. "Wartortle, Croconaw" They said. "Ok go Hitmonchan" The Jock said. As his hitmonchan came out and the Science man said. "I've calculated the perfect pokemon for these two, go magneton" He said.
"Alright Hitmonchan use Mach punch" The jock said. "Mangaton use spark on Hitmonchan's hand first" The scientist said. Mangaton charged up Hitmonchan's fist with electricity and Hitmonchan came at Wartortle. "Incredible for effect and looks" Nurse joy said.
Some of Ash's and Mays points went down. "Warotorle use withdrawal" May said. "That's not enough Croconaw jump onto Wartorles shell and use water gun on the ground" Ash said. Croconaw jumped onto Wartorle's shell and when he used water gun on the ground he moved the shell back avoiding mach punch.
Just then Hitmonchan slipped in the water and fell. "He avoided the attack and messed up his opponent interesting" Mr. Sato said. Some of the other team's points were lost. "Hitmonchan use seismic toss" The jock said. "magneton use spark on Hitmonchan but not enough to hurt him" They said . Magneton charged up Hitmonchan making him spark with electricity. "He looks fierce I give them credit for that" Mr sato said.
Hitmonchan ran over and grabbed Croconaw and hit him with the electricity and then took him into the air. "Oh no Ash" May said. Ash however wasn't worried, "Croconaw use tactic 4!" Ash yelled up so Croconaw could hear. "tactic four?" May thought.
"He's coming back!" The Jock yelled, Hitmonchan hit the ground but they saw he had been frozen and Croconaw was standing on top of the frozen hitmonchan unharmed. "Croconaw" He said proudly.
"Ash what was that?" May asked. "I spent so long Training my pokemon I gave them code words for certain attacks so my opponent would be confused and not know exactly how to counter" Ash said. "That's brilliant" May said.
"Hitmonchan use Mach punch" The Jock said, "Croconaw use Hydropump" Ash said. Hitmonchan broke free of the ice . He then got up and threw his arm back for Machpunch his arm was stopped by the massive jet stream of water and he himself was engulfed.
When it cleared Hitmonchan was ko'd. "Oh no Hitmonchan!" The Jock said. "Yeah" Ash said. May looked at their points and saw they were slightly ahead. "This isn't over yet" The scientist said. "magneton use thundershock on the ground" He said.
Mangeton used thundershock on the ground and it shocked the water thus shocking Croconaw and Wartorle. "How smart and lovely" MR. Sato said. The scientist then took the lead. "Wartorle use witdrawl" May said. Wartorle went into his shell. "Croconaw use superpower" Ash said. Croconaw knocked Wartorle in his shell spinning at magneton. The magneton was hit and ko'd. "Well what an impressive show" Wallace said.
the final score was shown with Ash and May ahead. "The winners are Ash and May" The announcer said. "We did it" May said, "Off to the next round" Ash said.
