Round 2 fight!

Grand Festival (Dawn's pov)

I'm in the back waiting for the results of how I did in the contest. Amanda, Amy, and Mia are with me waiting to find out if we all make it to the next round. We all did well with our performance, not as well as Coordinator X, but we got the crowd going. Other performers did okay, but many of them didn't get the same kind of reaction we did. The last performer though changed all of that.

Her name is Red Scarlet and she surprised everyone with her performance. She got the crowd going and was no doubt going on to the next round. We don't know who she is since she was wearing a mask, but there was something familiar about her. I just couldn't put my finger on it.

"What is taking those judges so long?" Amanda asked growing impatient. "I want to know if we made it and who we're going up against."

"Relax," said Mia trying to calm Amanda down. "There was a lot of performers today and they have to take time to deliberate on who they feel can go to the second round."

"I just hope I make it," said Amy who is worried like the rest of us.

"Don't worry, I'm sure we all made it," I said reassuring Amy and trying to cheer her up. "We all did well in our performance and I'm sure the judges will agree too."

Amy smiles at me, "Thanks Dawn,"

"It doesn't matter if we did or not," we looked over and saw Ian nearby. "No one has ever defeated Coordinator X in a Pokémon contest. I highly doubt any of us will beat him."

"Don't be so sure," said Mia. "You're brother came close to beating him one time, so any of us could do the same."

"She's right," we turn around and see Daniel walking towards us. "Anything is possible if you work hard enough and show everyone what you're capable of. Live a little and just have some fun little man."

"You really believe any of us can beat him?" Ian asked.

"I do," Daniel answered. "I lost to Coordinator X many times, but I enjoyed battling against him. I enjoyed performing in front of the people and showing what I am made of. Go out there, have fun, and perform with your Pokémon."

I nod in agreement and knew that's what as a Coordinator should do. "Thanks Daniel."

"Hey look!" Amy points to the TV. "The judges have finished."

Marian appeared on the TV and presents the decisions of the judges. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have seen a lot of performance today from so many great coordinators and their Pokémon. They all gave everything they had and showed us all what they are capable of."

"Get on with the results!" A random guy shouted, who I recognized as Derek.

"Hey look the judges have finished," Amy said as we turned to the TV.

Marian clears her throat. "All right, here we are with the top eight coordinators who will go on to the second round!"

The monitor began randomly showing the different participants of the contest, until it picked out the eight finalist. My friends and I shrieked when we saw we all made it to the next round.

"We did it! We made it!" We all shouted at the same time.

We saw Ian, Daniel, Red Scarlet, and Coordinator X made it to the next round as well. We can hear the crowd cheering loudly showing their reactions of the results.

"I can't believe out of all the coordinators that came to compete, only eight of us made it," said Amanda who sounds surprised.

"We earned it," I said knowing all our hard work paid off. "Now we get to continue competing. I just wonder who we will face off against."

"Me too," said Mia who looks excited. "I hope its Coordinator X or this Red Scarlet woman."

"And now it is time to see who will be battling who in the next round," We all turned to the monitor to see who will be facing who. After a few seconds we got the results, "And there you have it ladies and gentlemen it will be Coordinator X vs. Amy, Mia vs. Daniel Swaringston, Dawn vs. Ian, and Amanda vs. Red Scarlet,"

"Whoa, this is amazing looks like we're not going against the other huh?" I said relief that none of us got the other.

"That's good," said Amanda when she turns towards Amy. "You better be ready for Coordinator X."

Amy nods. "I am and this time I won't lose so easily like last time."

Amanda playfully punches her in the arm. "That's the spirit."

Ian walks up to me and extends his hand. "I am looking forward for our rematch. I've gotten better since last time."

I smiled and shook his hand. "So have I and I will beat you."

"We'll see," Ian took off while Daniel approached Mia. "I am looking forward for our battle my lady."

Mia giggled. "I'm looking forward for our fight as well good sir."

Daniel left the room as well while I turn towards Amy. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, I am ready to show Coordinator X how strong I have gotten since last time," said Amy who I can see looks excited for her battle.

"Remember have fun and don't worry about what happens," said Mia trying to help our friend out. "We'll be cheering you on to win."

Amy smiles. "Thanks Mia and thanks for the support guys."

Amy walks out of the room and heads towards the arena. While the others began talking about their upcoming fights, I looked back at the monitor. I sighed when I saw Amy going up against Coordinator X first. I hope she is ready and will show everyone what she is capable of.

Skybox (Normal pov)

"All right ladies and gentlemen it's time for round two of the Grand Festival," the crowd cheered and applauded as they got ready for the second round.

Looks like Dawn is going up against that Ian kid again. That should make for a fun fight like last time. Rachel said using telepathy to Ryan.

"It should be good," said Ryan who is looking forward to the fight. "My concerned though is if Amy is ready against Coordinator X, especially after last time."

I think she's ready. Rachel replied. I can sense it.

"If she had help then yeah she might be able to do it," said Ryan when he as pets Grace, who is sitting on his lap. "Are you ready to see the next round?"

Grace shook her head. I'm bored! Can I go outside to play?

Rachel picks her up. OK, we'll go outside for a bit and then come back.

Yay! Grace cheered as she runs towards the door with Rachel right behind her.

As soon as they left Iris came into the room. "I suppose Derek has come back, right?"

Ryan shook his head. "That guy always finds a way to disappear."

Iris sighed and sat next to her friend. "I hope he shows up soon."

"He'll turn up don't worry," said Ryan as the first fight is about to start. "Let's see if Amy is ready."

Meanwhile (Unknown pov)

I looked at the monitor now knowing I am up first. I'm glad Dawn's battle will come later and it will give me time to get ready. I know exactly what Pokémon to use against her, but I'll need to get through Amy and whoever wins the next round first. Once I finish I'll be ready face off against her.

I grabbed my mask nearby and put it on. I looked in the mirror and exhaled. "It's showtime, folks."

(Normal pov)

Marian began with the introduction. "It is now time for the second round! Introducing first, from Solaceon town, she is a young lady who made her first Pokémon contest in Jubilife City months ago, this is Amy!"

The crowd cheered loudly as Amy comes out nervously, but smiled and waves at them.

"Next where he is from we don't know, but he is a multiple time winner of the Pokémon contest, he's everyone's favorite masked figure, Coordinator X!"

Coordinator X appeared as the crowd cheered and applauded even louder for him than with Amy.

"Wow a lot of people like him a lot," Amy muttered.

Coordinator X took out two Pokeballs and got ready for his fight, "Don't look so nervous Amy and let's give these people a show to remember,"

Amy nods and knew she couldn't let her nervousness get to her. She took out her two Pokeballs and got ready for her rematch against Coordinator X.

She looked over and saw her friends came out of the locker room to see her battle. She saw them cheering for her. She smiled and found her confidence to go through with this.

"Let the battle begin!" Marian announced as the crowd waited for the first coordinator to make their move.

Amy threw out both her Pokeballs revealing her Pokémon, "Go Ursaring and Leafeon!"

Out came a large Ursaring who let out a roar and next to her was the evolve form of Eevee, Leafeon.

"Not bad choices now it's my turn. Go Eevee and Absol!" Coordinator threw out his Pokeballs revealing his two Pokémon, Eevee and Absol both wearing scarves, and both were blue, "Ladies first."

"All right Leafeon use Sunny Day and Ursaring use Pump Up!" Leafeon used sunny day which caused the sun to light from the sun to brighten up and Ursaring used pump up to make himself get stronger, "Now Leafeon use Solarbeam and Ursaring use Fire Punch!"

Both Pokémon attacked as Solarbeam headed towards Absol and Ursaring charged at Eevee with his fist on fire.

"All right then Absol use protect!" Absol used protect to create a shield that protected the two Pokémon from the attacks, "Now Eevee use Headbutt!"

Eevee appeared around the shield as Ursaring's attack was blocked by protect. Eevee used her speed to hit Ursaring in the head causing it to stagger.

"Leafeon use quick attack!" Leafeon charged at Eevee, but X saw this coming.

"Absol use Psycho cut!" Absol shot off a purple blade attack towards Leafeon, but instead of hitting her it missed, but caused her to stop her attack.

"Leafeon and Ursaring get back here!" Ursaring and Leafeon got away from their opponents and both were panting.

Amy sighed in relief glad her Pokémon weren't knocked out, "That was close. Man he's really good."

The crowd cheered for Coordinator X and how he countered all of Amy's attacks. From using protect to stop Solarbeam and Fire Punch. Using it to distract the Pokémon so Eevee could appear to hit Ursaring with an affective Headbutt and knowing that Leafeon would target Eevee so he had Absol stop Leafeon with his own attack.

"What a great battle and so far it seems Coordinator X has the upper hand. Can Amy find a way to get back into this?" said Marian.

"I won't give up. I have come too far to give up," Amy muttered to herself as she tried to come up with a new plan.

"Now then I think it's time for me to make the next move Amy. So get ready cause I'm coming for you," Coordinator X said as his Pokémon got ready.

Amy thought about a new plan and got it. She knew it was a bit risky, but knew it was probably one of her best chances to hurt X's Pokémon.

"Absol use Bite and Eevee Quick Attack!" Absol and Eevee used their speed to charge towards their enemies.

"Leafeon use Solarbeam, but aim it to towards Ursaring," both Pokémon knew what their trainer had planned. Leafeon shot off a Solarbeam at Ursaring though the crowd and X was unsure what Amy was doing, "Now Ursaring use Hammer Arm, then guys cover your eyes!"

Ursaring punched the Solarbeam destroying it, but causing it to explode in a bright explosion. The explosion blinded much of the crowd, the judges, Marian, Coordinator X, and his Pokémon. Absol and Eevee stopped in their tracks as they couldn't see where their opponents were.

"Ursaring use Hammer arm and Leafeon use Solarbeam!" Ursaring appeared and punched Eevee and Leafeon's Solarbeam hit Absol as both Pokémon were send flying and crashed near Coordinator X who was surprised by what happened.

The crowd was just as shocked as Coordinator X who was surprised that Amy took control of the fight by outsmarting Coordinator X with that attack. The crowd soon cheered and applauded for Amy and that great counter she did against Coordinator X.

"Well folks I have to say in all the times I have seen coordinators battling one another or seeing them perform with their Pokémon. I never seen anything like what I just saw," Marian said still surprised by what she just saw. "I have never see a combo like the one Amy just used to counter an attack against Coordinator X. Amy is really just surprising us today isn't she folks?"

Coordinator X saw his Pokémon getting up and both got hurt badly, but they were willing to continue fighting.

Damn, I underestimated Amy a bit too much. Heh Dawn and her friends must have taught that girl some new tricks. X thought to himself as he saw Amy and her Pokémon looked confident they can win. Too bad that won't help them beat me.

"All right guys let's keep this up okay?" Amy said to her Pokémon who both nodded.

"Looks like it's time for us to end this now my friends. Let's be careful and try to end this fight," Coordinator X said to his Pokémon who both nodded.

"All right, let's go for some different attack guys. Leafeon use Razor Leaf!" Leafeon shot off several of small Razor sharp leafs.

"Absol use Razor Wind!" Absol summoned a powerful wind that stopped the leaf attack and the wind headed towards the two Pokémon.

"Ursaring use Hyperbeam!" Ursaring charged and shot off a powerful Hyperbeam to stop the Razor Wind and it headed towards Absol and Eevee.

"Eevee use quick attack!" Eevee used her speed to charge at Ursaring.

"Leafeon use quick attack!" Leafeon charged at Eevee.

"Absol charged at Leafeon then use Bite!" Absol used his speed to charge at Leafeon and was prepared to bite her.

"Leafeon use quick attack to move out of the way," Leafeon used her speed to dodge the attack and Absol crashed into Eevee. "Now Ursaring use Hammer Arm!"

Ursaring now able to attack hit both Pokémon with Hammer arm, "Good job guys!"

Coordinator X smiled and saw this coming, "Absol use Psycho Cutter!"

Absol held on to Ursaring's fist and attacked with Psycho Cutter getting a direct hit.

"Ursaring!" Amy shouted as she couldn't believe X countered her counter.

"Now, Eevee use Headbutt!" Eevee who recovered hit Ursaring with the Headbutt knocking down the bear Pokémon and knocking him out.

"Well done you two," however as X spoke Absol fell to the ground and passed out.

"Oh it looks like Hammer arm took too much of a hit to Absol and he is out. It also looks like Ursaring is knocked out too, we have a double knock out," Marian said as the crowd cheered for the two coordinators and applauded the Pokémon's efforts in the battle.

Amy checked on her Ursaring to see if he was okay, "You all right?" Ursaring nodded. "Good you deserve a good long rest," Amy returned her Pokémon to his pokeball and was proud of how he was able to hold on for so long.

Coordinator X was petting his knocked out Pokémon who groaned, "Sorry I pushed you too far and caused you to take the full hit of that attack my friend," Eevee cuddled her head against Absol glad he was okay/ "Return my friend," Absol returned to his pokeball.

"So it's down to one on one. Leafeon the evolve form of Eevee vs. Eevee the pre-evolve form of Leafeon. Who will win this great battle and who will make it to the next round?" Marian said as the crowd all chanted for Amy and X, "I don't know folks, but I do know one thing whoever wins will have earned this victory,"

Amy thought about her next move and knew if she was going to win she would need to use Leafeon's speed and agility to win. However, she knew Eevee had the same kind of speed and agility as Leafeon so it's pretty even. She needs to hope X makes a mistake so she can win this battle.

This is too close. Eevee is badly hurt from that Hammer arm from Ursaring. She didn't take the full hit thanks to Absol, but it still damaged her. Coordinator X tried to come up with something to help him win and make it to the next round.

"All right Leafeon use Razor Leaf again!" Leafeon shot off several razor leaves towards Eevee.

"Eevee dodge it then use Quick Attack!" Eevee dodged the attack and runs towards Leafeon.

"Leafeon dodge it then use Leaf Blade!" Leafeon dodged the attack and hit Eevee with a Leaf Blade as Eevee cried out in pain and was send towards the ground. "End it now Leafeon!"

Leafeon charged at Eevee who couldn't move. X knew this was it and couldn't believe he was about to lose. Then suddenly Eevee was covered in a bright light and Leafeon backed away.

The crowd and two coordinators were surprised by this as they knew what was going. Eevee's form began to change as she was evolving. Soon the light disappeared and Eevee had evolved into Espeon.

"Oh my well ladies and gentlemen I have seen many things in many Pokémon contests. But seeing a Pokémon during a battle is the first time for me," Marian said shocked as was the crowd that Eevee evolved.

"Eevee?" Espeon faced her trainer and spoke in a gentle tone. Coordinator X smiled and saw his chance to end this. "All right then well I'm glad you evolved my friend now are you ready to end this?" Espeon nodded and got ready to end this fight.

Amy was surprised, but didn't let this stop her, "All right let's do this then. Leafeon end this with Leaf Blade!" Leafeon charged at Espeon.

"Espeon dodge then use Psybeam!" Espeon dodged the attack with ease and hit Leafeon with a powerful Psybeam. "Now end it with Quick attack!"

Espeon charged at Leafeon at high speed and hit Leafeon as Leafeon was send flying. Leafeon hit the wall hard and passed out.

"Leafeon is knocked out therefore the winner is Coordinator X and Espeon!" The crowd applauded loudly as Coordinator X picked up the win.

Amy sighed in sadness that she lost. She walked over and picked her Leafeon up, "Sorry we lost Leafeon. I guess I should have thought a better attack than the one that got you hurt,"

Coordinator X walked over to Amy and extends his hand towards her, "You did well Amy. You have gotten as strong as I knew you would. Despite this loss I am proud of you,"

Amy smiles and shook X's hand, "Thanks, I still wish I won,"

Coordinator X smiled, "You did win. You got the crowd to believe in your abilities, your friends stood by your side through and through, your Pokémon became very strong, and you gave the crowd a great battle. Believe me you won my dear,"

"Th-thanks Coordinator X," X took Amy's wrist and raised her hand as the crowd cheered and applauded for both coordinators.

"Now that's class and it seems folks that Amy has earned Coordinator X's respect," Marian said the judges and Marian applauded both coordinators.

Dawn, Amanda, and Mia were also applauding their friend's performance and for how she almost beat Coordinator X.

"She almost did it. I guess it shows that X isn't invincible huh?" Mia said pointing out how X almost lost.

"Yeah, good luck with that Daniel guy. Cause even if you beat him you got to go through that X guy," Amanda said.

"Yeah," Dawn said as she hopes she gets her rematch against X so she can show him how strong she has gotten like Amy has.

"Well ladies and gentlemen we're going to take a short break, but when we return it will be time for the next battle as it will be Mia vs. Daniel Swaringston," the crowd cheered as they waited for the next round, "Please welcome from Celestic City, Mia!"

Mia appeared in her dress as she gets a standing ovation from the crowd, "Thanks for having me here you're all a great crowd!"

"And her opponent from the Johto region, he is Daniel Swaringston!"

The crowd cheered loudly for Daniel as he appeared waving to the crowd and bowed towards them all.

"It is good to be here and thank you," many of the girls in the audience all cheered for Daniel the loudest and had signs asking him to marry them.

Mia rolled her eyes seeing this, "Sheesh what a bunch of fan girls. They are so annoying," Mia looked over and saw Daniel giving Nurse Joy an autograph as she was a fan of his as well. "Oh come on judge!"

"Let the next round begin!" Daniel returned to his fight and revealed his Pokémon.

"Come out my ladies," he threw his Pokeballs revealing his two Pokémon Leafeon and Glaceon.

"Gale, Flygon come out!" Gallade and Flygon appear from their Pokeballs.

Daniel looked surprised, "Impressive choice Mia, but will it be enough to help you win?"

"I don't know let's find out. Flygon use Draco Meteor!" The crowd, judges, and Daniel was surprised that Mia is starting out big as Flygon unleashed hundreds of Draco Meteors towards Daniel's Pokémon.

"Glaceon use Icy Wind!" Glaceon unleashed a strong ice wind that froze much of the meteors, but not all of them.

The judges and Marian got out of the way as the meteors crushed the panels. Mia and Daniel didn't move as the meteors missed them.

When it was over the crowd saw that the four Pokémon were okay, along with their trainers. Daniel smiled when he saw how the arena looked; "Now this is a good environment for our fight."

There were still many meteors around and most were frozen. Mia smiled and liked this as well, "Oh yeah now it's going to get a lot of fun."

Skybox (Rachel's pov)

I am so glad I didn't miss this. I said glad I didn't get to miss this fight.

Grace got tired after we played outside, so I brought her inside just as Amy and Coordinator X's fight ended. It sucks that I missed the fight, but I'm glad that I get to watch this.

"Come on Mia!" Iris cheered. "You can do it! Beat that weird guy!"

"Iris, not so loud," said Ryan motioning to Grace, sleeping in her father's arms.

That was too close. I wiped the sweat from my forehead glad that Mia didn't kill or hurt anyone.

"Sorry," Iris apologized. "This is just an awesome fight and I want Mia to win."

"She will," we turn around and see Derek entering the room. "Draco Meteor is a powerful move and only strong Dragon-type Pokémon can master it. It takes time, patience, and the will to master such a move."

Glad to see you made it. Where have you been? I asked.

"I got in trouble with security and I had to lose them," Derek replied as he sits down next to his sister. "It took me a while, but I managed to get them off my tail."

Now that I believe. Just don't do anything dumb before Dawn's fight.

"Yes mother," said Derek as he pulls out a bag of chips. "Go get them Mia!"

Not so loud. I said towards him.

Derek narrowed his eyes at me and goes towards the door. "Hey Grace, your mom is offering you chocolate milk!

He out of the room as Grace woke up. Chocolate!

I growled. Damn you Derek!

(Normal pov)

"Leafeon use Razor Leaf!" Leafeon shot off dozens of Razor Leaves towards Gallade and Flygon.

"Gale use Leaf Blade and Flygon use Dragon Claw," Gale began cutting down the leaves, while Flygon flew above him and charged at Leafeon.

"Glaceon use Ice Fang!" Glaceon charged at Flygon with her fangs becoming cold.

"Gale use Close Combat!" Gale quickly got close to Glaceon preparing to attack.

"Leafeon use Iron Tail!" Leafeon appeared and blocked the attack of Gale and Glaceon managed to get a bite on Flygon.

"Flygon smack her away!"

Flygon managed to Dragon Claw on Glaceon damaging her, but the Ice Fang did some damage to Flygon as well as the four Pokémon went to their trainer's sides.

"Well folks it seems both coordinators' Pokémon are as tough as we expected them to be. They have been able to counter the other's moves and come up with some counters to help the other Pokémon in the attacks," Marian said surprised at how this fight was going. "But it seems both Flygon and Glaceon took some heavy damage from the direct attacks,"

"Flygon you okay?" Mia asked as Flygon nodded, "Gale you?"

I'm fine. Gale used his psychic powers to communicate with Mia through telepathy. They're tough and very fast.

I know. Mia responded and tried to come up with a new plan. All right Flygon go for a Hyper Beam, but aim it at the ground to blind them. Then Gale goes for a Psycho Cut to Glaceon.

I got it Mia. Gale turns to Flygon who nodded as he overheard the plan.

"Leafeon, Glaceon be on your guards," both Pokémon nodded as Flygon took off flying. They soon saw Flygon hovering high and were charging up for Hyper Beam, "What is this girl up to?"

"It seems Flygon is going for an attack, but I'm not sure if Mia gave her Pokémon an order or if she communicated with her Pokémon in a way that Daniel can't find out," Mia smiled knowing the last one was true.

Flygon shot off a powerful Hyper Beam as it headed towards Glaceon and Leafeon, "Dodge it!" Both Pokémon got out of the way, but as they did the blast hit the ground hard creating a large dust cloud blinding the Pokémon and coordinator.

"Now, Gale!" Daniel heard Mia shouting for Gale to attack.

"Leafeon, Glaceon be on your guard!" Daniel realized what Mia had planned and had to come up with a counter.

Gale appeared and was able to attack one of the Pokémon. Flygon got close to where the dust was preparing to blow the dust away. Just then a Pokémon appeared from the dust and attacked Flygon. Mia didn't see what Pokémon it was, but needed to see if Gale was okay.

Gale use Psychic to blow the wind away. Mia said trying to contact Gale hoping he heard her. She saw the dust disappearing and she sighed in relief, but was shocked when she saw that Gale knocked out Leafeon, but saw Flygon was knocked out by Glaceon who was the one who appeared from the dust.

"It appears both Leafeon and Flygon are out. So that just leaves Gallade and Glaceon as the final two Pokémon," Marian pointed out as the audience applauded for a great battle.

Mia returned her Flygon back into his Pokémon and smiled, "Thanks for the fight. You did you're best my friend."

Daniel picked Leafeon up and patted her head as she looked sad that she lost, "Now, now my dear you may have not won, but you still performed gracefully," Leafeon smiled and snuggled close to Daniel's chest.

Mia smiled seeing this as she was glad to see a trainer who cares for their Pokémon. Mia turns to Gale who smiled at her. You feel and look happy.

Mia nodded. Seeing a trainer and their Pokémon get along so well always brings a smile to my face.

Well then ready to continue fighting? Gale asked.

I'm ready as always. Just need you to be careful. Glaceon is not going to be easy to beat. Gale nodded knowing that was true.

It will be okay, don't worry. Mia smiled and wished she could give Gale a kiss, but with so many people around she couldn't. After we win then you can give me the winner's kiss.

Mia rolled her eyes as she figured Gale read her thoughts. Just go out there and kick butt.

Gale saluted to Mia. Yes ma'am.

Daniel pets Glaceon and whispered into her ears. Mia saw this and figured he was giving his Pokémon a plan. Mia knew this was going to be close and needed to make sure she watches for Glaceon and whatever she might do.

"All right Glaceon use Icy Wind!" Glaceon unleashed another powerful ice wind as it blew towards Gale.

"Gale! Hide behind the meteors!" Gale quickly got behind one of the many meteors that were still around and frozen.

"Now, Glaceon use Ice Fang!" Glaceon jumped over the frozen meteor and her fangs became frozen as she went to attack.

"Gale use Psychic!" Gale stopped Glaceon trapping her in Psychic. "Now use Psycho Cut!" Gale was about to use his Psycho cut Daniel shouted another command.

"Now use Mirror Coat!" Glaceon's body glowed as the Psycho Cut was countered and hit Gale knocking him off his feet. "Now end it with Ice Beam!" Glaceon shot off a powerful Ice Beam hitting Gale and sending him towards one of the frozen meteors.

Once the dust cleared Gale was found knocked out and beaten, "Gallade is unable to battle so the winner is Daniel Swaringston!"

The crowd cheered and applauded loudly for another great battle between both coordinators and their Pokémon.

Mia walked over to Gale and kneeled down as she placed his head on her lap. Gale began to wake up and realized what happened. I'm sorry my Mia I failed you.

Mia smiled and shook her head. You didn't fail. You were amazing, I'm proud of you. Mia kissed Gale on the forehead as he smiles.

Daniel approached Mia and helped her get Gale up, "You two were very tough opponents. I am proud to have been able to compete against you both."

Mia nodded, "Same to you. I'm glad to have been able to fight you. Just don't think this is over, I will want my rematch."

"And I would love nothing more than to give you the rematch you deserve madam," Daniel said looking forward to facing Mia again in the future.

Backstage (Dawn's pov)

"Oh man, I thought she was going to win," I said disappointed that Mia didn't make it to the next round.

"Me too," Amanda replied. "We better make it through our battles so we can face Coordinator X and Daniel."

I nod in agreement. "I better get ready for my battle."

"Good luck," Amanda extended her hand towards me.

I shook her hand and nod. "Let's do this."
