Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon. But I own the main characters.
I'm finally back to writing the story. Sorry it's been so long but I've been swamped with school work and I had really bad writers block but now I'm back and hopefully will be writing a chapter at least 3 times a week. There is a spoof of an internet store in there. Well here is the first chapter since my little mini vacation. Enjoy!
Rory: Zan, Chimchar, Luxio, Murkrow, Treecko
Crystal: Chimecho, Bidoof, Feebas, Drifloon
Dane: Lileep, Kabuto
Allison: Vulpix, Wingull, Slakoth
Chapter 21: VS Mr. Goodshow
As the sun begins to set in the land of Sinnoh Rory and the group arrive at a huge
Stadium in the middle of the woods.
"What is this?!" Dane asked, puzzled.
"I know what this is. This is the pokemon testing facility." Allison responded.
"Pokemon testing facility?" Rory, Dane and Crystal asked?
"It's a place where trainers from across the world come and test their abilities
against each other in a large tournament and the winner always gets a really rare prize."
Allison explained.
"Oh I know that tournament; it's always broadcasted around the world. I just
didn't know where it was held. This is really cool, maybe I can enter." Rory said with
gusto.
"Well here's your chance." Crystal said.
"What?" Rory asked; puzzled.
"The pokemon league chairman is coming this way" Crystal said as she pointed to
something behind Rory's back. Rory spun around to see a short old man with a long
white beard walking towards the group. Rory instantly recognized the man as
Mr. Goodshow.
"Hello youngsters, I'm Mr. Goo…" The old man started but was interrupted by Rory.
"You're Mr. Goodshow, the pokemon league chairman. You are my idol sir. I've
collected all your books about pokemon and the pokemon league. I've got your
collectable Mr. Goodshow boxers. I have all your trading cards and video games. I have
all three of your DVDs. I even bought the hat you wore at the Ever Grande Tournament
last year, off of eBlay." Rory said as he pulled all these items out of his bag.
"My, you are a devoted fan aren't you? Well I'm faltered." Mr. Goodshow
Responded.
"Please sir, can I have your autograph." Rory said as he held out a notepad with
various, famous trainers' signatures on it.
"I would be delighted. So are you entering the tournament?" Mr. Goodshow asked
as he signed the notepad.
"Can I" Rory said as he was given the notepad back.
"Of course you can. But registration closes in about and hour. There is a hotel
about ¾ of a mile from here, which is where the competitors register and stay during the
tournament" Mr. Goodshow said as he pointed to the path that leads to the hotel.
"Thanks Mr. Goodshow, but we have to go if we're going to make it" Dane said
as he looked around for Rory. But all he saw was a cloud of dust leading into the path to
the hotel. The rest of the group ran to catch up with Rory.
"Alright you're registered to enter the tournament Rory." A nurse joy said with a smile.
"Thanks" Rory responded as he looked for his friends. He was able to spot Dane
at the front of a registration line. Rory ran over to him and showed off his registration
card.
"Alright Dane your registered" The Joy at the counter said as she handed Dane his
card.
"You're entering?" Rory asked.
"Yeah" He responded.
"So are we" Crystal and Allison said as they approached from behind.
"What? But you don't even battle gyms." Rory said to Crystal and Allison.
"So what? It's open to everybody." Crystal yelled at him.
"Ok, ok calm down" Rory said calmly.
"Let's go find our rooms." Allison said as she ran towards the elevator. They got
into the elevator and looked for the button for their floor.
"This hotel is Huge; I can't believe there are sixty floors." Dane said as he pushed
the button with a 54 on it. They reached the 54th floor and when to their respective rooms.
Rory was amazed by the size of his room. Seven people could live comfortably in it.
"Everyone, come on out" Rory yelled as he let all his pokemon out of their
pokeballs. Rory decided to rest up for the prelims the next day. He had issues falling
asleep that night, trying to decide who he would use the next day.
The morning sun shown harshly through the blinds. Rory could hear the distant
sounds of battles down on the training fields. He was surprised that he could hear it from
this high up. Rory opened the blinds to see a flock of Starly fly slowly past his window.
"Good morning everyone" Rory said to his pokemon. They all responded in their
usual way when Rory wakes them up, growls and grumbles. He ate breakfast and put his
pokemon back in their pokeballs except for Zan and Chimchar and went to Crystal's
room. He knocked on the door three times. Finally he heard a yell from the room.
"I'm changing!" yelled the voice.
"Ok, ok" Rory yelled back. Five minutes later Crystal open the door.
"That took forever, what were you doing?" Rory sighed.
"Beauty takes time" Crystal said with a smirk. Rory did have to admit she looked
really good.
They went and got Allison and Dane and walked to the stadium. All the other
trainers were gathered in the middle of the stadium. Their were even more trainers than
Rory expected and the stands were packed with fans. Rory saw camera men all around
the stadium. Mr. Goodshow then got behind the podium up on the large stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, trainers and coordinators it is now time to
reveal the prize for this year's tournament." Mr. Goodshow said as he pulled the cover
off of a small stand. A little, metal object sat there. It had three dull spikes coming out of
the top.
"This is the coveted, Dialga Crest" Mr. Goodshow yelled.
