I'm really sorry it took me so long to update! Pweez don't hate me.
May: I don't.
Drew: I never stopped.
Me: You suck Drew!
Drew: I don't care!
Me: Rolyn owns nothing but Keychimp.
May the Best Girl Win
"Okay, now it's time for that final epic battle. We've seen some pretty good stuff today but it comes down to these two talented females to see who wins the Sikio ribbon!" Julian said holding up a bright pink ribbon that had a silver S holding it together. "Let's get our contestants out here! C'mon Rolyn and May!"
May came out on the left end of the stage and Rolyn came out on the right. Both girls had determined smiles on their faces. They were ready to give it all they had. If May were to win this would be her second ribbon and she would be one ribbon away from having the same amount as Drew and for Rolyn this would be her first and she and Nelly would have the same amount of ribbons. Both girls had some sort of motivation fueling their determination.
Julian glanced between the two before grinning "Okay timer ready? Let's go!" The timer had started.
"Blaziken, time to take the stage!" May said tossing out a pokeball. Blaziken emerged just as ready as his trainer. He smiled and May nodded.
"Glacey, let's show them how we turn this out and bring down the house!" Rolyn said throwing her own pokeball. Glaceon did a cat-like stretch before standing up and grinning sheepishly while chiming its name happily.
"Okay Blaziken, fire spin!" May commanded. Blaziken opened its mouth and a swirl of flames shot out hurtling towards the teal ice pokemon. Rolyn lowered her head a bit and Glaceon dodged the fire attack quickly by running to the side. It kept running until it was running in a complete circle around Blaziken.
"Okay Glacey double team." Rolyn ordered. May mentally groaned. Double team was never one of Blaziken's strong points, it was easily confused and it didn't help that Glaceon and now the freshly made copies of itself were circling Blaziken in a dizzying fashion.
Blaziken watched as seven Glaceon's ran in circles around him, getting more and more confused in each passing second. It shook its head to focus a bit but it didn't help.
"It's okay Blaziken just use ember on all of them!" May instructed. Blaziken gladly obliged hitting every single Glaceon and eventually hitting the correct one sending it back a bit. Rolyn
cringed as she watched her pokemon take the attack. She was sure that, that tactic would confuse Blaziken enough for him to not pay attention when she gave out an attack but her plan had failed. She grit her teeth as her points fell by and eighth.
"May's doing well. I was sure that Blaziken would have fallen into a delusional state." Nelly said as she turned her head away from the battle going on in the arena. Her and Drew had found Cizzi and decided to watch the battle from the stands with her.
"May is very resourceful. She knows how her pokemon work and what their flaws are so she tries to get past them." Drew explained crossing her arms.
"You seem to know a lot about how May works…" Cizzi accused smirking coyly. Drew coughed nervously while a small tint of red streaked his cheeks. Nelly giggled at how flustered he had gotten out of one simple statement.
'Those two are made for each other…' She thought as she returned her attention back to the battle.
"Okay Blaziken use fire blast!" May ordered with a proud smile dancing across her lips. Blaziken had just learned this new attack before she had left home. Max had taught it how to use it in a battle against his Gallade.
"Counter Glacey!" Rolyn said quickly. Blaziken opened its mouth and a large stream of fire came flying out. It looked similar to a flame thrower but stronger and hotter making it more dangerous.
Glaceon opened its mouth as well and a stream of frozen energy just about the size of the fire blast came out. The two attacks collided creating a veil of steam that spread throughout the air. It made it hard to see so everyone had to see the outcome of the attacks. The steam cleared rather quickly though due to the open arena and Blaziken came into view. Its hands were encased in a large chunk of ice that it was struggling with.
May gasped as her points went down a bit lower than Rolyn's. Blaziken still struggled with the ice, trying to get the flames around its wrists to ignite and melt away the flames. It was no use.
"What a smart idea to use the lasting effects of an ice blitz. The only ice attack that can withstand high temperatures." Julian praised. May's eyes widened.
'It can resist fire?!' She though frantically. Her anxiety was visible on her face
"Okay Glacey now's our chance! Use ice bullet!" Rolyn instructed. Glaceon opened its mouth and bullet shaped pieces of ice went speeding at the unfocused Blaziken. It was too wrapped up in freeing its hands to dodge. The attack hit straight on making Blaziken slide back a bit. It still stood but it looked to be weakening.
"What do I do?..." May whined to herself. Her thoughts raced as an idea came to mind. It can resist fire but it can't resist talons. "Blaziken! Sky uppercut!" May called out. Blaziken nodded and its talons glowed within the ice before growing shattered the ice of its hands completely. May smiled. Blaziken went at Glaceon who in quick thinking used ice mirror. Time was getting short and winding down and neither pokemon looked ready to quit.
"Blaziken use overheat!"
"Glaceon use avalanche!"
Blaziken and Glaceon both opened their mouths and gained energy in their elements before releasing the attacks but from a seats view it was obvious which attack was stronger and larger. The attacks came together created a reaction that sparked an explosion that pushed both pokemon back. However the snow over powered the fire and it slowed its pace down as it stopped at May's feet. Blaziken had taken it head on and remained standing but it looked very weak and hurt. Glaceon panted tired and uneasy as the buzzer sounded.
"What a battle! Now let's look at those points…" Julian said. Everyone directed their attention to the screen to see that May's points were below Rolyn's by a small fraction. Rolyn and Glaceon's picture dominated the screen as the crowd applauded for her win. She still stared at the screen a bit shocked by it all. She had thought the overheat was successful. Glaceon jumped into her arms and said its name happily while nuzzling its trainer.
"YEA!! We did it!" Rolyn exclaimed happily as she spun her pokemon in a circle. She had just won her very first ribbon in the Champix region.
Blaziken walked to its trainer pouting in disappointment with itself however May was smiling.
"That was awesome Blaziken! I can't believe you stood up to that huge attack!" May praised with a huge grin. "With that kind of strength we'll get them next time!" Blaziken grinned as well and nodded while saying its name in agreement. May returned him to his pokeball and smiled as Rolyn jumped up and down as she received her first ribbon. May was just as excited when she had gotten hers, so she wasn't surprised by the girl's reaction to it all.
Rolyn walked over to her, her grin softening into a gentle smile. The two girls looked at each other for a moment before May bowed to her. Rolyn bowed in return and grabbed the brunette in a hug. The separated and Rolyn lifted May's arm while still keeping her balanced. The crowd went insane.
"Thanks for the experience of battling someone as good as you…" Rolyn said in a tone just above a whisper as she grabbed May in another hug. The two of them plus Drew, Cizzi, and Nelly were standing outside the pokemon center. May thought Rolyn had the same experience as her but she was mistaken…this would be her second time doing contests. May had done six and won three ribbon cups, Rolyn has done one and won one ribbon cup.
"I thought you…"
"Nope." Rolyn said popping her p. "This is my second time competing in contests. My first try I won the ribbon cup."
"That's why you were such a challenge. You're a rookie who ended up on top." Drew said. Rolyn laughed.
"I guess you could say that. Well we're heading to the Cantus Mountains next…Where are you guys going?" She asked.
"Me and Drew are going to Plena town next. We plan on heading to the mountains later on." May explained. Drew nodded in agreement.
"Oh…well maybe we'll catch up later…" Rolyn said pouting a bit. May was going to respond when she was cut off by Nurse Joy rushing out the center.
"May! Your egg is hatching!" Nurse Joy exclaimed.
Ha-ha Cliffy!
May: SO EVIL! I wanted to see what pokemon I got!
Drew: Well you're gonna have to wait.
Me: Just like everybody else!
May: Oh! Pweez Review or we'll never find out what pokemon I get!
