So this is a REALLY long chapter, by that this was probably the longest one I wrote. I was going to make this another arc like the swimming one and the one where they're stuck in the forest but it seemed to short so I wrote it out. By the way, throughout the story if you don't know what is a Sugar Baby, it is a type of animal; very small. It's adorable. If you want to see what it looks like just google it you won't regret! Thanks for tuning in. I hope you like this chapter :)
Disclaimer: Pokemon or the characters does not belong to me. (Just wanted to point that out haha) and if you have suggestions, you can feel free. I won't take them all NOW because it's like 30 chapters into the story and I already planned out how it would go out like. I will try to take some suggestions though.
Ash woke up ready for a new day. Drew, May, and Dawn were entering this so called "Animal Contest" he was expecting it to be a normal contest like how it was where May, Drew, and Dawn would usually enter.
Ash ran down to eat breakfast. "Good morning Ash!" Mrs. Ketchum greeted. "Morning mom!" Ash replies back. "What's your plans today?" asks. "I'm going to watch my friends at the pet contest today." Ash put his thumbs up. "I know what you mean! Professor Oak and I are going to watch this today too." Mrs. Ketchum set the table. "I hope you like bacon and eggs for today!" She handed him food.
"I don't like it. I love it!" Ash munched down on the food. "Ash, don't eat too fast!" Mrs. Ketchum laughs. "Well, sit down and eat!" Ash munched down his food. "I could pass for a snorlax!" Ash laughs. cocks her head to the side. "Snorlax?" She chuckles. "Nothing." Ash gulped down on the orange juice.
"I'm going to meet up with Dawn today. May and Max said their dad will take them." Ash pushed in his chair. "No problem Ash! Have fun, I'll see you there." Mrs. Ketchum nods. "Sure! Bye Mom!" Ash ran out the door to Brock.
"Ready to go, Ash?" Brock asked. "Let's go!" Ash walked out. They walked over to Dawn's house. Not her cabin, but she has a house around the area that they go to sometimes. "So, are you going to enter Brock?" Ash asked him. "Nah, I got a job to do however. I'm supposed to feed and take care of the animals if their owners are busy. Something I enjoy doing!" Brock explains. "That's cool, you're exactly the same!" Ash chimes in. "Same as what?" Brock was confused. "Oh, nothing." Ash wags his hands. "Did you eat all your breakfast?" Brock asks. "Yup, you?" Ash replies. "Yeah, along with how I had to make breakfast for like ten other people." Brock laughs. "Oh wow, that must be a lot." Ash imagined all of Brock's brother and sisters.
They made it to Dawn's house. However, her door was opened. Brock knocked to the side of the wall. "Ash? Brock? Thank god you're here! Come up stairs." Dawn yelled.
Ash and Brock walked into the messiest room ever. With clothes every where on the floor and Dawn literally wrecking her closet. "Woaaahhh, what's going on in here?" Brock tries to walk in without stepping on any of the clothes. "I need to find the following outfits, my cowboy outfit-I found, my swimsuit is missing and I can't find a dress for the formal section!" Dawn cries. "Dawn, calm down maybe we can help." Brock scanned the room. Ash looked around finding a Bunny and a Squirrel. Of course, he thought they were Pokèmon.
"Wow! A Parisichu and Buneary!" Ash was amazed. "They look different, what did you do to them Dawn?" Ash asked. "What do you mean? Are they sick?" Dawn leaped towards them in worry. "I hope not, I care about them and I don't want anything to happen to them!" Dawn eyes them. "Ash, they're okay..." Dawn trails off.
"No, the colors are different. Parishichu looks blue." Ash points. "First off, what is a Parisichu?" Dawn asks, confused. "Ash is just thinking about Pokèmon." Brock chuckles.
"Oh...WELL ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO HELP ME?!" Dawn yells. "Sure, sure!" Brock picked up a swimsuit. "Is this it?" Brock asks. "Yes! Thank you. Now, I have everything ready. Help me pick my dress?!' She grabs Ash and throws him into the closet. "Ow!" Ash fell into a bush of clothes. One pink dress fell on top of Ash's head. Wait, he remembers this dress...Dawn wore this at the Wallace Cup. She won there, so maybe it's good luck. "Hey Dawn, you could wear this dress." Ash got up and showed her. "Ah! Perfect!" She says stuffing her wardrobe- er, the clothes she's wearing for the contest into the bag.
"We're going to be late!" Dawn glances at her watch. Ash, Brock, and Dawn runs to the Contest Hall. "Ash, Brock, Hurry up!" Dawn runs fast. "Dawn, slow down!" Brock yells. They all ran and made it on time. "Dawn?" A girl peered over to the side. "Zoey!" Dawn ran to Zoey. Zoey, oh Ash remembers her very well. "Hey! Dawn!" Zoey waved. "Zoey, meet Ash. I don't think you met him. Brock, Ash, this is my best friend Zoey. "Nice to meet you. So...Dawn, I see you finally found your right guy." Zoey laughs. "No, heh it's not like that. I don't know him well." Dawn laughs. "So who you entering?" Dawn asks her. "My cat." Zoey gestured to the Glameow looking Pokemon. "Wow! It's looking great!" Dawn admired the cat. "Well, I gotta go use the John. See you during the contest. Best of Luck!" Zoey walks away.
"Guys!" May waves. "May!" Ash walked to her. "Dawn, did you sign up with Iris?" May peers over to Dawn. "Oh! I almost forgot!" Dawn ran to sign up.
"So you ready for the contest?" Ash asks May. "Yup! I got my little cat I named Skitty, and my beautiful dog, Gerald." May introduced her pets. Ash immediately thought of Skitty and Glaceon. "Wow!" Brock checked them out.
"May." Drew walks in. "Drew." All May said. "I hope you would know that my dog would own your dog any day." Out walked a oddly familiar pet, who looked like an Absol.
"We'll see about that." May smirked.
"Well if it isn't the star crossed lovers of this show." A familiar voice skipped in. It was Harley. "Harley!" May blushes. "Whatcha' guy arguing about? The names or your future kids?" Harley winked.
"No, we're talking about how my dog is better than May's." Drew flipped his hair.
"I hope you know that I will be entering too." Harley smiled. "With my amazing Pricilla." Harley showed them his pet on the top of his fingertips. "Aww!" Dawn admired it as she came back.
"What the heck is that?" May points to it. "Excuse me! It is a rare sugar baby. Everyone knows that." Harley scoffs. "If you ask me, it's tiny...and scary." May shivers.
"Scary?! I'll show you scary once I own you two." Harley points fingers at May and Drew. Harley stomps out. "Okay, so we're going to be on in a few. Starting off with presentation." Dawn read her checklist. "Are you guys going to battle last?" Ash asks in excitement.
"Battle with pets...?" Drew turned confused. "You don't battle with animals, Ash." Max chuckled. "This isn't Pokemon." Max continues. "Right." Ash trails off.
"Everyone who is entering the contest please remain on backstage." Iris announced.
"If you're not in it, please have a seat." Cilan finished.
"Well, I guess that's us." Brock says.
"Let's go." Max leaded the way.
The three sat down while the curtains were closed. "I can't wait to see my sister up there. She's been taking care of her pets really well." Max crossed his arms. "Me too. I can't wait to see who wins." Brock examined.
"Welcome to the annual pet contest! Today we have 12 lovely contestants today entering! We will first start off with introduction and they will be wearing their everyday outfits " Iris announced. "Will the contestants please step forward as we announce their names." Cilan instructed.
"First off we have Harley and his sugar baby!" Cilan cheered. Harley waved. "Next we have May with her beautiful husky, and her adorable cat!" Iris introduced her. May clutched her fist with fear, but she was determined along with her well groomed pets.
"Coming up, is Dawn with her amazing bunny and well trained Squirrel, you don't see that often!" Cilan chuckled.
After introducing people, it was time to begin.
"First we have the old west scene." Iris reads the card. Everyone walked to the stage in their Cowboy attire. "Just look at Harley's amazing getup, with her sugar baby's cute cowboy hat!" Iris admired. "How does the even fit that on?" Cilan wondered. Harley played a radio. "Dance, my sugar baby!" Harley persuaded it. Harley tried square dancing with it, but it was to small to see.
"Judges?" Cilan pointed. One gave Harley a 5.5, someone gave it a 3 and the next judge gave harley an 8. "Wonderful!" "I should've got more." Harley said under his breath.
"Next up is Drew with his cute little dog." Drew walked on stage in his cowboy attire. He got 3 hula hoops and played country music. His dog pranced elegantly over and under the hoops. Drew and his dog both bowed down to the stage.
"Amazed right now! Judges?" Cilan waved. He got 9.9, 9, and 7. "Great job!" Iris cheered. "Next is Zoey!" Zoey walked down waving. Her cat was wearing an astonishing cowboy gear and hopped on Zoey's back. They pretended to be in the wild west, while Zoey put up on an act. "Wow, this is amazing!" Cilan laughed "Great acting." Iris clapped.
Zoey- 8, 4.4, and a 7. Zoey waved and got off stage.
As the 12 contestants were done with the first set the judges announced who could proceed out of the new 8. It was May, Drew, Harley, Dawn, Zoey, and 3 other contestants. "Now we will begin the swimsuit version. But wait, they will be competitors." Iris cheered. "Up first is Harley vs Dawn!" Cilan read his card. "Harley." Dawn found Harley. "Hello there..er..em, Ah yes. Dawn. I hope you know my sugar baby is a professional swimmer and my speedo will own you." Harley laughed.
"Good luck!" Dawn smiles and shakes his hand. "Okay let's see what Harley and her pet has in for store." Harley gracefully galloped in his speedo and dove into the pool. His sugar baby had a matching swimsuit. The preformed a wonderful show, and it was synchronized swimming. "Wow, that was well coordinated!" Iris applaud. "Nice. Looks like Harley gets an eight, seven point five and six!" Iris read the judges vote. "Great job!" Dawn cheered. "Now, oh wow! Dawn and her bunny both have matching Mermaid outfits. Dawn and her bunny looks like they're also putting up a mermaid act." Cilan observed. Dawn also played some nice aquatic music matching the scenery. Dawn and her bunny stood back up onto the diving board and dove in backwards. "Nice!" Cilan shouts. "Let's see the scores."
She got 10, 9 and 7! "Wonderful! Dawn wins! Sorry, Harley!" Iris cheered. Harley grunted and went off stage. Then it was May vs Zoey. May started her act off with her fishing. She then fished out Skitty and hugged it. Skitty lures her into the water and the began an underwater dance. "Wow!" Iris was astonished. May received the following scores. 8, 8, and 10. Then it was Zoey's turn. She had pretended she was a swimming coach teaching her cat to train hard enough. Except her cat was too afraid of the water, like normal cat's unlike Skitty. Unfortunately Zoey received 3,5,and 1.5. "Rats." Zoey sighed. "The winner is May! Great job!" Iris yells.
Then it was time for the grooming contest, and racing time. It was down to Drew, May, and Dawn. Since Dawn had received the highest score she was allowed to proceed. Now it looks like it was Drew vs May.
"Well May, I guess it's time for you and I to see which one of our dogs are better." Drew eyes her. "Finally, but won't you be embarrassed to know that my Husky is very well trained?" May smiles.
"I don't think it's well enough against my Dog. So, you better watch your step." Drew smirks. "THE SWEET LOVE TALK IS CUTE AND ALL BUT CAN YOU GET ON WITH THE SHOW!?" Harley yells in the background. "Alright!" They placed their pets at the starting line. "On your mark, get set, go!" Cilan starts.
"Go! You can do it!" May cheered. "C'mon show May what we're made of!" Drew encouraged his pet. They were tackling for finish one on one, but there is no way of deciding who could win. "C'mon let's go!" May cheered along it's way. Drew's pet looks like it's going to take the lead. "No! You can beat them. Keep going!" May bit on her fingernails. They were almost to the finish. Looks like Drew is going to be the winner here. "I knew it." Drew said to himself.
"What? It looks like May's pet is leaping for finish." Iris observed. May's eyes glistened for her husky to win. "Just a few more steps!" Cilan kneeled in. May's husky made it first!
"Looks like Drew lost, congrats May!" Iris chants. Drew clenched his fist. "Wha-?" He then smiles at May who was cheering. "Nice work May, but next time I won't go all easy on you." Drew smirks.
May was petting her husky and skitty. "What? No, I'll be even better." May smiles. "Here, take this rose." Drew gave it to her. "It's Skitty's. So take care of it." Drew grins. "Thanks, Drew." May says. Drew then walks away.
Now, it's time for the final match. May vs Dawn. Ash knows this has got to be way familiar.
May was wearing the same dress attire for the Wallace cup.
"Well, Dawn I guess this is it. Nice dress." May shakes her hand. "Thanks. I knew it fit the occasion." Dawn smiles. "Okay, now let's see who's act is the best. Skitty! Jump over all these hoops." May got 5 hoops. Skitty zoomed in and out of it, except one. "Nice, but now it's my turn." Dawn cheers. "C'mon Peter!" She named her bunny who gracefully jumped over all the hoops. It looks like Dawn won this round.
Then it was the dance competition. May and her Skitty did a beautiful Indian dance along with the music. They danced gracefully making it around the stage.
"May's really good!" Max claps. "She is!" Ash nods. "She's beautiful." Drew mumbles. "What was that?" Ash was clapping asking in curiosity-he really didn't hear. "Nothing." Drew blushed.
As May wrapped up the dance it was Dawn's turn. Dawn looked astonishing in her pink elegant dress. She played some classical music and preformed a tap dance. She also did some good ol' 50's moves. This made the crowd go nuts with claps and cheers.
After that it was time to officially look at the pet's status. May and Dawn stepped forward to the stage to present their Pets. The pet's had stations in which Dawn Decorated her's Pink, Black and White. May decorated her's Red, White, and Blue.
Then the Judges went up to observe them. Dawn started to shiver. She wonders who would win. The judges then went into the boxed room to do the votes. As they finished voting they gave the envelope to Iris and Cilan.
"Okay, so the winners are...wow..." Cilan trailed off. "What's wrong?" Brock asked Max who just shrugged. "Did they loose something?" Dawn peered over. "This is a rare occasion, but...DAWN AND MAY TIED!" Iris cheered.
"Oh my gosh! We tied!" May and Dawn jumped together. They were handed a huge circular ribbon that they cut in half together. "This is amazing." Dawn was astonished. "We deserved it, we did great!" May winks. They walked down to stage and there was confetti. "Great job guys!" Ash cheered. "Thanks!" Dawn waved. "You were so good out there!" Max shook Dawn's hand. "Thank you!" Dawn smiled. "And good job May." Brock nods. "You truly were amazing." Drew smiles at May. "Thank's Drew." May smiles.
They wrapped up the contest and went to celebrate over with Iris and Cilan.
