This story is coming close to the end. Maybe two or three chapters left. I'm glad that people started getting into it a few chapters back! It makes me so happy!

Thank you to those who reviewed!

Disclaimer: I still don't own Pokemon. Shocker, right?

Chapter 11: Mystery Solved

"It's the final round of the contest, folks! To my left, we have Drew Hayden! To my right, we have May Maple! Who will win the Ore Cup? Let's find out!

The timer started, and May and Drew sent out their Pokemon. It was a double battle for the final round.

"Skitty, Glaceon, Take the stage!"

Blue and pink hearts were releases with them.

"Flygon, Absol, go!"

Blue flames and stars were released.

"Who do you think will win?" Ash whispered to Dawn, who had joined him in the audience with Brock and Misty.

"May totally kicked my ass. It will make me look not as bad if she wins, so I'm rooting for her."

The timer started. Drew was the first to attack.

"Flygon, use Dragon Pulse!"

A powerful ball of purple energy zoomed towards Glaceon.

"Dodge it!"

Glaceon rolled to the side, just barely missing the attack.

"Now use Icy Wind on both of the Pokemon!"

Glaceon breathed the attck at Drew's Pokemon.

"Use Whirlwind, Flygon!" The attack came back and hit May's Pokemon.

"Not bad Drew," said May, not worried about the points she'd lost.

"Glaceon, we need to take out Flygon! Use Ice Beam!"

The attack hit Flygon head on, causing him to fall to ground briefly with frozen wings.

"Absol, use Night Slash!"

The attack seemed to come from nowhere, knocking Glaceon back.

"Skitty, cover for Glaceon and use Double Slap!"

Skitty landed several hits on Absol, but Flygon had regained his aerial position.

"Use Dragon Rush!"

"Use Reflect, Glaceon!"

Glaceon didn't take much damage from what could've been a finishing blow.

"You're not doing too bad yourself," smirked Drew. "But I'm just getting warmed up! Absol, use Shadow Ball, and Flygon, use Dragon Rage!"

The Shadow Ball was hurling towards Glaceon, backed by the Dragon Rage, giving it the appearance of a comet.

She didn't have time to dodge, and Glaceon was knocked out by the double attack.

"Nice move, Drew" murmured May as she returned Glaceon.

"I heard that," said Drew, flicking his hair.

May took his self glorification as an opportunity to attack while he was distracted.

"Skitty, use Blizzard!"

"Shit," said Drew.

Both his Pokemon were hit by the attack, and Flygon fainted from the super effective move.

"Return, Flygon. I guess it's one on one now, May."

"Yup. Slitty, use Assist!"

Skitty's paw glowed and an Ember attack came out.

Absol couldn't avoid the many flaming balls, and took some light damage.

The time was almost up. May had a little under half of her points left. Drew had a little bit less than her.

"May's in the lead!" squealed Dawn.

"Go May!" shouted Ash.

"Use Razor Wind, Absol!"

"Use Assist again Skitty!"

The Razor Wind came at Skitty as her paw glowed. And it hit her as the attack was released from her paw.

"May just got so lucky," Brock said.

Skitty had used Protect.

The timer went off and May was declared the winner.

"Not bad, Maple. Not bad at all," chuckled Drew as he walked up to her.

May held out her hand to shake his, but instead he grabbed her and pulled her into a kiss.

The audience started clapping and cheering. Ore's first contest was a big success.

"Pikachu, the egg was due today, and... it never came. I don't think we're having one."

Pikachu was relieved, but... also sad. He was sure that Buneary felt the same way.

They were strolling Pyrite Town together at night. It was their last night in Ore.

"I guess we'll never know if we even did it that night," Pikachu said.

"You did."

They both turned to see Psyduck emerging from the shadows.

"How do you know?" Pikachu asked.

"I got it all on tape," quacked Psyduck.

"And you didn't tell us!?" Buneary yelled.

Pikachu stood with his eye twitching.

"Slipped my mind," shrugged Psyduck. He tossed them the tape, then waddled away humming that Arceus forsaken song he had written.

Pikachu stared down at the tape.

"Should we... watch it?" he asked Buneary.

"Hell yes."
