CH 28: Fortree city Pokemon Contest ( please review)
Ash and May had left Sealth village the next morning and said their goodbyes to Liza and Charla. Ash also promised that he would let Charizard go back with Charla to the Charicific Valley when their egg was close to hatching.
If Ash and May had walked to Fotree city it might have taken them a few days to get there from Sealth village. However, they didn't walk. Charizard flew high above the ground with Ash and May on his back. "This is so much fun, I can't believe i've never tried this before" May said.
May was sitting behind Ash and had her arms around his chest. Occasionally they would see a tailow or swablu flying beside them. Flying on Charizard it only took them a single day to reach Fortree city.
When they reached the city Ash saw it hadn't changed much since they were last there. There were a few dozen houses and small buildings built into the trees. By the time they reached fortree city it was sunset. May and Ash looked over the horizon as the sun went down.
"It looks so beautiful" May said. "Charizard let's find a place to land" Ash said. "Wait not yet, let's just enjoy this moment" May said. "Charizard keep us up here" Ash said. May leaned forward and kissed Ash on the side of his cheek.
Charizard turned his head back and saw this. He smiled then doze into a deep dive toward the ground. A rush of adrenaline hit both Ash and May as charizard came close to the tree tops then angled his wings to shoot up toward the sky.
When he was high enough Charizard did two barrel rolls before he flew smoothly again. Charizard had flown like this with Ash before, but May and Pikachu had been holding on for dear life by the time charizard smoothed out.
"Well that was , exciting" May said. "Pikachu" Pikachu said. Both Ash and May laughed a little before they turned back to the sunset. "This view is amazing" May said. "Back in in the Charicific Valley Charizard and I saw the sunset like this a few times " Ash said.
After another 20 minutes Ash and May entered the pokemon center so May could sign up for the pokemon contest. "Well May good luck in the contest" Nurse Joy said. She handed back May's pokedex. "Oh I almost forgot, since you are competeing in the contest you get your own private house here in Fortree city. You and your husband should find it quite comfortable" Nurse Joy said.
Both Ash and May's faces turned red after hearing what nurse Joy said. "What we're fifteen , he's just my boyfriend" May said. "Oh sorry my mistake" nurse Joy said. She handed May a key to their tree house. They took a set up stairs up to the walkways across the trees that connected the treehouses to each other.
Ash and May's was a small tree house with a 413 on the door. The inside of the house looked like a hotel room. It consisted of a bathroom, a single dresser with a small TV placed on top. There was a window on the other side with a air conditioner beside it.
In the center of the room stood a queen sized bed. "One bed?" Ash said. "She didn't even change our room when I told her she weren't married" May said. "I can't believe she actually thought that. I mean look at us, do we look like we're married" Ash said. "Well it's not like it can't go there" May said.
Ash's face turned red and he said, "I meant because of our age" he said. May's face turned red as well. "Right that's what I meant to say" May said. Ash and PIkachu looked around the room. There wasn't a chair, or bench, or anywhere a second person could sleep.
"I guess I could try and sleep on the floor" Ash said. "Ash come on we can share a bed, it's not like we're gonna do it" May said. Later that night May was in her pajamas and was laying in the bed with a piece of paper in one hand and a pencil in the other. Pikachu was on the foot of the bed already asleep.
The bathroom door opened and Ash came out. He had just taken a shower and was finishing up drying his hair with a small towel. Ash was only wearing a pair of black work out shorts as he walked over to the bed. May tried not to make it obvious as she made a few glances of shirtless Ash, and his more mature muscle tone.
Ash got to the bed and laid down next to May. "What are you writing?" Ash said. "Just some last minute ideas for my routine" May said. "You know the contest isn't for another 3 days" Ash said. "Of course I know, that's why I'm coming up with them now. So i'll have time to practice them" May said. "That's a good idea May and I'll be there to help you get your routine down" Ash said.
May kissed Ash for a few moments before saying, "You're always there for me". After another 30 minutes Ash was already asleep. May yawned and then decided it was time for her to go to sleep as well. She put down her paper and pencil then rested her head on Ash's chest.
For the next few days May and Ash worked hard to perfect May's routine until he was convinced they had it nailed down. On the day of the contest Ash and Pikachu sat in the crowd as May took the stage. "You got this May!" Ash shouted. "PIka Pika!" Pikachu shouted with him.
"Our next contestant May will now begin her routine" The announcer said. "Blaziken , take the stage!" May said. She threw his pokeball and Blaziken spun in the air as he came out and landed right in front of May.
May took several Black balls and threw them into the air. "Blaziken use quick attack" May said. Blaziken hit one of the balls which then burst into smoke masking Blaziken as he hit the next one while looking like he simply appeared next to each one. "Incredible" Mr. Sato said. "Blaziken use firespin " May said.
Blaziken unleashed firespin which drew in the smoke from the black balls making what looked like a tornado with red stripes. "How creative" Wallace said. "Now Blaziken use sky uppercut" May said. Blaziken jumped up through the firespin and out the top causing the fire to follow him and created a rain of sparkling embers that slowly floated down. "It's beutiful" Nurse Joy said.
"Yeah May that was even better then when we practiced it" Ash said. The crowd was in an uproar from May's performance. The judges gave her a twenty nine point 4 out of thirty which almost guaranteed her into the next round.
May and 7 others made it to round two. May easily beat her opponent in round. However, her round three opponent wasn't quite as easy. Despite how challenging her opponent in round 3 was , May still made it to the final round.
She was facing off against a young woman, perhaps 23 years old with light red hair and blue eyes. The woman was wearing a yellow and red shirt with a yellow skirt. "The final round is about to begin with May vs Eliza for the Fortree ribbon" The announcer said.
"Venusaur go!" May said. "Roserade take the stage" Eliza said. "Roserade use magic leaf" Eliza said. " Venusaur use vine whip to stop them" May said. Venusaur used his numerous vines to whip the leaves before they hit him. This caused Eliza to lose some points.
"Well played May, but I'm far from beaten" Eliza said. "Roserade use sweet scent" Eliza said. Roserade opened her rose petals and a very sweet auroma filled the air. When Venusaur smelled this her faced turned slightly pink and she walked forward toward roserade. "Venasaur stop it's a trap!" May said.
Venasaur didn't stop and this caused May to lose some points. "Now use poison jab" Eliza said. Roserade jumped up and spun in the air before jabbing Venasaur 3 times. This caused May's points to go down even more.
May thought for a moment then had an idea. "Venasaur wait don't do anything" May said. Venasaur turned to her confused. "I'm not sure what May is trying to do but Eliza is taking advantage of it" The announcer said. "Roserade use venoshock" Eliza said.
Roserade came at venasaur ready to strike. "Venasaur use sweet scent!" May said. Just before roserade could hit venasaur she opened up the large petal on her back and let out similair auroma as roserade.
Roserade's face turned pink and she stopped the attack. "That'a is May!" Ash shouted. "Incredible May used her own opponents tactic against her" The announcer said. Eliza's points dropped when this happened. "Venasaur now use razor leaf" May said.
Venasaur unleashed a furry of sharp leaves that hit roserade and lowered Eliza's points. Roserade snapped out of the trance sweet sent put her in. "Alright roserade head straight at Venasaur" Eliza said. Roserade sprinted toward venasaur with great speed. "Venasaur use vine whip" May said.
"Dodge it" Elyza said. Roserade avoided the vines and continued toward venasaur. "Venasaur use razorleaf" May said. "Counter with petaldance" Eliza said. Roserade unleashed a furry of pink petals that hit venasaur's razorleaf and stopped it dead in it's tracks. This caused May to loose some points. "Roserade use sleepower!" Eliza shouted.
Roserade opene dup her rose petals again and a purple power flew into vensaur's eyes putting her to sleep. When Venasaur went to sleep May lost even more points. "Now use giga impact" Eliza said.
"Vensaur no wake up!" May shouted. Roserade back up then charged forward and hit vensaur with giga impact. May was now only a few points from loosing the match there. "May don't give up!" Ash shouted.
"Venasaur get, up we can do this" May said. Vensaur opened her eyes and got up to face roserade. "Well May I admire your spirit, but I came here to win and I plan on doing so. Now Roserade use poison jab" Eliza said. "Venasaur use vinewhip go low!" May shouted. Venasaur unleashed her vines low on the ground and managed to entangle several of them around roserade's legs.
"Roserade!" Eliza said. "Good now lift her up over you"May said. Venasaur lifted roserade off the ground and dangled her directly over herself. This caused Eliza to loose a few points. "Roserade quick use petaldance!" Eliza said. "Vensaur use sleep power!" May shouted. Venasaur unleashed her own sleep power and put roserade to sleep just as she started petal dance.
This caused to petals to harmlessly float down around vensaur. "Incredible" Wallace said at the sight. The combination of stopping petaldance and putting roserade to sleep made Eliza loose many points. "Now venasaur throw her to the ground" May said. Venasaur hurled roserade to the ground and as she hit Eliza lost a few more points.
"Now solarbeam" May said. Venasaur took in sunlight as she powered up for a massive strike. "No! Roserade get up now hurry!" Eliza shouted. Roserade opened her eyes in time only to see the solarbeam impact her.
Roserade was on her knees trying to catch her breath. Suddenly there was a buzzer sound indicating that time had run out. "Time is up let's take a look at our contestant's points" The announcer said.
May's and Eliza's points were very close , but May's were slighlty higher. "The winner of the Fortree city contest is May" The annoucer said. "We did it!" May said. Venasaur came over to her and licked her across the head as she hugged her head.
Eliza came over and picked up her roserade. "It's alright roserade, there will be other contests" She said. May stood in the center of the stage as Wallace handed her a ribbon. The ribbon was shaped like a leaf with two green tassels attached.
Later that night after a trip to the pokemon center Ash and May had returned to their tree room. It was late at night and the two were already in bed with Pikachu at the foot of the bed. "Well that was a close one but I won" May said. "Yup you're just one ribbon away from the grand festival" Ash said.
"Don't forget you have your gym battle tommarrow" May said. "Oh yeah, but don't worry I already know who i'm using" Ash said. A few minutes later Ash and May were both asleep. Miles away inside Rocket X's submarine Vlad was beating Dr. Marrs with the palm of his right hand.
He stopped for a moment and Dr. Marrs spit out a little blood. "How long are you going to keep this up Dr. Marrs?" Vlad said. Outside the room watching through a glass window were Jessie and James. "He's more impressive then I thought" Jessie said. "What will it take to break him?" James said.
"Hey guys, you're going to love me for this" Meowth said. The two turned to him "Why?" James said. Meowth put on a menicing smile then walked into the interrigation room . "Dr. Marrs I think you might want to reconsider helping us" Meowth said. "Why, I can do this all day" He said.
"Yeah but can your little sister" Meowth said as he turned on a tv monitor showing another room in the sub with Alaina Marrs. Tom Marrs's younger sister , tied to a chair with two rocket X operatives in the room. "Alaina!" Dr. Marrs shouted. "Tom, please these people are serious, don't do anything stupid" Alaina said. "His sister?" Jessie said. "Yeah after Galen failed in his mission I had some operatives do an extended family search. We found your little sister working at the Waterfall labs" Meowth said.
"Now how about coaperating" Meowth said. Dr. Marrs looked at the monitor with his sister on it then turned back to Meowth. "Alright i'll do it" He said. "Well finnaly, let's get to work" Meowth said.
