Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't done anything for the past few days... Busy and distracted.

So have guys heard of my December challenge to Pokemon fanfic writers? Write a story, or group of one shots involving Christmas or winter everyday starting December 1st. Depending on what you want but a total of either 25 or 31 chapters.

Enough about that, here's chapter 11!

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.


"Mushar!"

May blinked her eyes open to see Vi's Musharna biting onto her head. May blinked in surprise.

"What's going on?" May looked over at Jack, who was watching the pink mist emitted by Musharna.

"Musharna ate your nightmare," Jack explained. "Drew didn't want you be upset before the Pokemon Contest, so Vi got Musharna to eat your nightmare and rewarded it with her own happy dreams."

May's eyes teared up happily. Drew walked back into the room.

"May you okay?" Drew asked, concerned. May threw her arms around him.

"You're the best boyfriend ever!" May whispered. "Don't expect me to go easy on you, if we battle though!"

"Of course I am." Drew smirked, doing a hair flick. "Same to you."

Fast forwarding time to an hour from now...

"Welcome to today's Eterna City Pokemon Contest!" Marian shouted.

Vi bounced in seat excitedly, "This is going to be amazing!"

"Have you seen a Pokemon Contest before?" Yusei asked, looking at the overly excited girl.

"She's been in one actually," Jack replied. "Shocking results from a Gengar."

"How?" Ichigo tilted in head. "You used a Gengar in a contest?"

Vi nodded. "Dark Pulse, Confuse Ray and lots of practicing can cause Dark Pulse to sparkle."

Akako looked at Vi oddly and turned his attention back to the contest.

"Roselia! Let's go!" Drew called. "Sweet Scent then Grass Whistle!"

Roselia cast out a gentle scent throughout the air and gently played Grass Whistle.

"Synthesis!" Roselia stumbled slightly before glowed with sunlight as the finishing act, then took a bow in perfect sync with Drew.

Quickly after Drew left, Kiara took the stage.

"Take the stage, Pikachu!" Kiara gracefully tossed up the pokeball. "Double Team, Electro Ball then wrap it up with Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu with a flash used Double Team, causing more Pikachu to appear. All the Pikachu used Electro Ball all heading the same direction: straight before curving upwards. Thunderbolt caused all the Electro Balls to spark and explode into a firework.

Kiara and Pikachu bowed, then left the stage.

A few contestants later, it was May's turn.

"Wartortle! Time to shine!" May tossed her pokeball. "Rapid Spin and Bubble!"

Jumping up Wartortle hid in it shell spin around in the air shooting out bubbles everywhere.

"Water Pulse!" Wartortle paused in middle of the bubbles and sent out Water Pulse, which bounced off the bubbles which bursted sparkling. Bowing, May and Wartortle left the stage.

"That was amazing! And still two rounds to go!" Vi's exclaimed, eyes sparkling. Jack sweatdropped. She stood up, "Tell me how it ends okay?"

"Going somewhere?" Ichigo asked.

Vi nodded, "I need to look for the reversing spell for May's curse. TTYL!"

"The results are in!" Marian called out excitedly. "The following coordinators will move onto the next round!"

The screen reveal May and Kiara passing onto the next round. Drew turned to Kiara and May.

"Good luck to both of you," Drew exclaimed.

"You didn't make it. That's a first Drew," May pointed out.

"Something is slightly off with Roselia..." Kiara noted.

"It can evolve soon!"

They turned to see Vi, who held up her hands.

"I got lost on my way out and wanted to wish you two luck," Vi shrugged. Looking at Drew, she held out a Leaf Stone. "The decision is your's chose wisely." She paused. "I'm off to find a way to switch the curse's effect onto me. Good luck you guys!"

Drew looked at the stone as Vi walked off.

"I'm battling Kiara already?!" May screeched. Kiara laughed. "May the best coordinator win!"

"Right!" Kiara agreed, shaking her hand.

Drew smiled at the friendly competition, he head off to join the audience.

"Presenting Kiara and May!" Marian said. "Five minutes on the clock and begin!"

"Time to shine, Eevee!" May shouted as Eevee appeared.

"Espeon, take the stage!" Kiara exclaimed, sending out her special Espeon.

"Wow! A battle between Eevee and it's evolution Espeon!" Marian noted.

"Quick Attack!" Eevee quickly attacked Espeon before it could dodge.

"Confusion then Morning Sun!" Espeon retaliated and glowed with sunlight, recovering health. "Future Sight!"

"Get Espeon with Bite!" May exclaimed. Eevee managed to get past Espeon and give it a bite.

"Swift, Espeon!" Stars were sent flying at Eevee as Future Sight took it's part. Eevee fell over, breathing hard.

"Finish Eevee off with Psychic and Confusion!" Kiara confidently said.

"Trump Card, Eevee!" May called.

The moves collided sand and dust sent flying. Coughing the two girls realized time just ran out.

"That's it!" Marian cheered. "The winner of this exciting battle is... Kiara!"

Kiara squealed, May gave her a hug.

"Good luck in the last round," May smiled.

"Thanks! I'll win for sure!" Kiara replied, eyes sparkling.

A battle later...

"The winner is Kiara! Congratulations!" Marian congratulated. As Kiara stood on the platform, Nurse Joy handed her the Eterna City Ribbon, a green ribbon that showed the city's greenery.

"Come by the Pokemon Center later to get your Pokemon checked okay?" Nurse Joy smiled. Kiara nodded joyously.

"As Violet would say 'That was amazing!'" Jack said. Ichigo laughed as they all walked out of the Contest Hall back to the Pokemon Center.

"Dinner anyone?" May asked, happily.
