Round 1

Silver woke up that next morning feeling uneasy. He was thinking about what happened last night when the others were getting ready to go to the contest.

"Hey Silver you ready for this?" Cilan said.

Silver snapped out of it and returned to normal.

"Yeah! Lets get going!"

"You know guys." Iris started, "I wonder what the first prize is?"

"No idea but it's sure to be great." Ash said.

They walked over to the gym where the tournament was taking place. There were about 40 people entering. Everyone gasped in awe as they saw Silver. They tried their pokedex's and none of them said anything. One person actually tried to catch Silver with a pokeball.

"Silver use psychokinesis." Ash said calmly

Silver nodded and held up his hand. The pokeball glowed cyan and then flew back at the person who tried to throw it.

Ash found Skyla next to a stage and giant screen.

"Hey Skyla! I'm ready for the contest!" Ash said

"Oh hey Ash! Glad to hear it!"

"Are you entering?" Silver asked

"No I'm one of the judges. But I'll be cheering for you! I've gotta go."

Then they heard an announcement on the stage. The referee from the gym was the announcer.

"The Mistralton city move maker contest is about to begin! In the first round contestants will use one pokemon and make a new move combination! The second round has them use two, the third has them use three, and the fourth round requires a combination of all their pokemon! They may either aim for the giant target provided or use the rocks on the field! Then our judges will decide the eight best acts and the remaining eight will battle it out! The one winner will receive this!"

He held up a familiar looking silver colored gem that wasn't glowing.

Everyone was amazed by such a beautiful treasure.

Silver, Ash, Cilan, and Iris gasped as they recognized what it was.

"That's another chaos emerald!" Silver whispered to them, "I need to get all seven of them!"

"Then that means one of us has to win the contest!" Iris said nervously.

"Let's hope that we do." Cilan said.

The announcer continued.

"Allow me to introduce our judges! First Mistralton city's own gym leader Skyla! Second the one the only Professor Juniper!"

Ash gasped in surprise.

"And finally Mistralton city's own nurse joy! And now lets begin the competition! First up miss Jessalauran!"

Jessie ran onstage dressed up in an interesting way. Neither Ash nor his friends recognized her.

"Woobat! Come on out!" She threw up a pokeball and a woobat came out.

"Woobat use air cutter!"

Several small blades appeared as it flapped it's wings.

"Now use gust!"

It used gust and the blades started swirling around each other and they hit causing a shower of pretty sparks. The audience oohed and ahhed and the judges thought.

"That was an ok flying type combination!"

"Yes but they didn't have a name for it."

"And it wasn't that much of an attack."

"Thank you Jessalauran! Our next contestant is Joseph!"

James ran onstage wearing a suit and holding a pokeball.

"Go Yamask!"

His Yamask appeared on stage.

"Yamask! Use Shadow ball but hold onto it!"

It did.

"Now use will o wisp on it"

The ball became engulfed in flames.

"Now fire!"

It shot the ball towards the giant target and the shadow ball exploded and the will o wisp flew in a circle that would damage enemies. Everyone applauded.

"What an incredible use of the surroundings!"

"Good thinking too!"

"And still showed off its power!"

Several more people went.

"And now our next contestant! Iris!"

Iris ran onstage with her Axew.

"Axew use Dragon Sneeze!"

The judges were interested.

Axew started to use dragon rage but it backfired as usual causing an explosion all around it.

"AAAAAAXXX CHOOOOOOO!"

"What a wonderful use of only one move!"

"And it had great power too!"

"And a creative name for it!"

A few more people went.

"And next up Cilan!"

Cilan ran onstage.

"Pansage I need you!"

Pansage appeared.

"Pansage use dig all over the field!"

Pansage dug holes and tunnels in the ground.

"Now get in the center hole and charge up a solarbeam!"

It did.

"Now use Solar geyser!"

It shot a solarbeam down the hole. The beam split up and a mini solar beam shot out of each hole.

"Creative and unpredictable combination!"

"Excellent power and beauty!"

"Creative name that shows what the move is like!"

Several more contestants went.

"And now for our last contestant! Ash!"

Ash and Pikachu ran onstage.

"Pikachu use Electroball!"

A big ball of electricity appeared at Pikachu's tail.

"Throw it straight up!"

It flew up and started to come down.

"Now you ready?"

"Pika!" he nodded

"Ok swallow it!"

Pikachu jumped up and swallowed the electroball whole.

Everyone gasped.

Pikachu's tail grew a little bigger and became covered in sparks of electricity.

Everyone gasped even more.

"Now iron tail and thunderbolt on your tail!"

It did causing its tail to turn into a real lightning bolt.

"Now use Lightning Tail!"

Pikachu swung its tail and sliced the giant target cleanly in half. Pikachu's tail returned to normal.

Everyone cheered.

"Such an unusual way to combine moves!"

"Probably one of the most powerful electric type moves I've ever seen!"

"And such a clever name for it!"

"Well that ends the first round! Lets take a little break while the judges decide who will continue! (and so we can set up a new target.)"

"That was such a great combination Ash!" Cilan and Iris said.

"I was surprised when Pikachu ate the electro ball!" Cilan admitted.

"But you did great in the end!" Silver said cheerfully.

Meanwhile elsewhere…

"That was such a great combination Jessie!" James said

"You weren't too bad yourself!" Jessie replied.

"Just keep going you too and all of us will be rich!"

"Sorry for the wait folks but the judges have decided!"

Everyone watched anxiously.

"These contestants on the screen have been eliminated and can't move on!"

"I hope we can make it in." Ash said nervously.

Iris and Cilan agreed.

"They might as well just give me the prize!" Jessie said

"And here they are!"

10 images appeared on screen. Jessie and James pictures were on it. Ash, Iris, and Cilan's weren't.

"Yes all three of us made it!" Ash cried out.

"What?!" Jessie said mad, "They eliminated both of us!? Those people don't know good art when they see it!"

"Now Jessie we can always steal the prize." James said kindly.

"Oh yeah! I forgot!"
