Pokémon

Fletchling-girl-lv.14: Razor wind, Double team, Quick attack, Aerial Ace

Ralts-boy-lv.9: Confusion, Teleport, growl, ?

Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm clock kept on beeping until I hit the snooze button. "Hey, Alice time to get up and start training" I said trying to get her up "Uh! Just 10 more minutes" she said putting the blanket over her. "Do I have to remind you that you have to come up with a performance for the judges with your new Pokémon?" "Oh yeah? Right I forgot that I need to get up early to work on a performance" she said getting out of bed. Before we did anything else we had to freshen up like taking a morning shower, brushing our teeth, and having a good nutritious breakfast after all that we're ready to go. "Alrighty, Time to do some practicing now it's time to take the spotlight!" said Alice sending out her new Pokémon. "So this is your new Pokémon?" I asked taking out my Pokédex.

PokéDex

Surskit, the Pond Skater Pokémon. Surskit can walk on water as if it was skating. It can attract prey with a sweet aroma that it produces.

Pokédex put away…

"Surskit cute name now what do we do for a performance?" "Hm, why don't we have a battle? We'll know what moves your surskit knows and maybe just maybe it'll give you an idea for a performance." "I don't know" "Don't worry I'll use ralts promise" "Well, okay then let's do it" "Alright Alice you get the first attack" I suggested. "Got it surskit attack" just then surskit started attacking with speed "Ralts teleport!" and ralts disappeared before surskit made contact. "I have to admit that is one fast quick attack" I complimented as ralts reappeared on the left side of surskit. "Surskit! Use another attack quick!" and surskit fired a series of bubbles "Ralts use confusion and quick!" ralts was able to stop the bubble attack by using confusion. "Now send those bubbles back at them" and ralts reversed the directions of the bubbles sending them right back at surskit "Surskit dodge them with quick attack" and surskit was dodging the bubbles with quick attack which was a lot faster than before. "I wonder how in the world is quick attack faster than before" "Surskit let's try one more move!" "Surs!" said surskit as a blue glowing ball appeared and fired a beam at ralts "Ralts teleport! Let's go!" and ralts disappeared just in time before the attack hit him. "Phew well I be, whatever that attack was it sure looked mighty strong. "From the looks of it that was an ice beam" I said "Ice beam?" "it's a move that attacks the opponent with a icy cold energy beam sometimes an ice beam attack can be so powerful that it may actually freeze an opponent causing them not to move until they thaw out of it. "Wow, we may have a shot in winning this thing with an attack like that" "Well, that all depends if you can get pass the second round so hopefully learning all of surskit's move will help you come up with an idea" "I sure hope so" said Alice not sure what to do. "Whelp, I'm off come on ralts" I said returning ralts "Where are you off to?" "Store, I need to buy some more berries and food and also some items we may need once were on the road again" I said as I went on my way. Alice let out a big sigh "This will take me forever to come up with a performance" she said looking at her surskit.

12:00

"Alice! Lunch is ready you can't think on an empty stomach" "I guess, after all I am feeling quite famish" she said grabbing some sandwiches, fruit, and water. "And some of my homemade Pokémon food specifically for surskit, here you go surskit enjoy" "Surs-kit" said surskit enjoying a nice lunch. Alice wasn't doing too much eating because she was still distracted about what to do. Once surskit was done it was ready to play "Wow surskit clean bowl how's about you meet everyone else? Alright gang come on out!" I shouted letting both fletchling and ralts out of there Pokéballs. "Fletchling this is surskit this is Alice's new Pokémon, surskit this is fletchling and you already met ralts" "Fletch-fletchling" said fletchling greeting herself. "Now, you three can go have fun while I clean up, okay?" "Kit!" said everyone and went off to play just then Alice had a thought after seeing surskit skate away with the others "I wonder yes, that could work!" I thought. Alice got up and shouted "That's it I figured out what to do surskit come on we got some training to do sorry everyone but once the tournament is over surskit will be ready to play again okay?" And she and surskit were getting some preparations ready for the performance round.

5:00

"Ladies and gentlemen we would like to start our 2nd round of our bug tournament!" "Yayyyy!" the crowd is really wild. "In this round the trainers who passed the 1st round will have a chance to show off the beauty of their new bug type Pokémon. Now, trainers remember whoever makes it pass all through three rounds will leave here with another new friend in their life!" the announcer announced showing everyone the Pokémon egg. "The Pokémon performances judge by these three people, in the first panel we have Santalune city's gym leader Viola. "I'm looking forward to seeing the beauty of everyone's Pokémon" On the second panel we have santalune city's Nurse Joy. "Wow it's a pleasure to be a judge" And last but not least we have a special guest here today famous actress and Kalos champion Diantha. "Wow, I'm really honored to be here in front of all you wonderful trainers" "Yaaah!" "So, that's world's famous Kalos champion and actress Diantha; She's the person I have to defeat after I defeat the trainer with that mega charizard at the Kalos league" I said thinking of the day will come. "Alrighty then now that we finish the introductions let's get the 2nd round of our tournament started!" "Yaaah!" and the crowd went wild.

After 15 minutes

"Alright everyone we have seen some intelligent trainers and their bug types showing their beauty and cuteness. But now we come to our final contestant from Shalour city Alice!" "Whom, Alice is from Shalour city?" I thought to myself. "Surskit! Take the spotlight!" And out came surskit ready for action. "Surskit use ice beam!" and surskit froze the ground. "Next, use bubble!" and surskit twirled while unleashing bubbles in the air. "Now, surskit give them a skating performance" with elegance surskit started skating pleasing the audience and also the judges. "And now finish it with ice beam!" within seconds surskit destroyed the bubbles with an ice beam leaving nothing but blue sparkles raining down on surskit. "Great work, Alice" giving her grin. "That was truly amazing" said Nurse Joy. "Truly beautiful using the beauty of water and ice" said Viola. "Ah affective way of using ice, water and surskit's skating abilities to make a performance to catch the hearts of many people and trainers in the crowd. "Well, that's that we'll be right back with your 16 results so stay where you are until then!" I went to look for Alice and found her at the gym. "Hey" "Hey" "So what are you doing?" "Waiting I guess" "Yeah bet it stinks having to wait for something huh" "Yeah" she said smiling a bit. "Sorry to keep everyone waiting but the judges have made a decision on whose going to the next round and here they are! So let's give a big hand for these hard working trainers!" She said showing everyone the faces of those who will advance to the next round "You're in you made it to the third round!" I said seeing her picture on the bottom left. "I'm in, I'm in! I can't believe it!" "Listen up trainers the final round will begin tomorrow at 3p.m. So don't be too late!" "Yeah!"

At the apartment

"Wow you're going to the final round" "Yeah I'm pretty excited" "Just remember to do your best and have fun if you do that then you can win for sure" "Right well better get some sleep big day tomorrow don't want to miss it" "Yeah good night."
