Enjoy
The day before the contest, Lily tried to spot where Sira was heading, but she lost track of her when she dropped into the water. She headed towards the poke-center, and ran into Wallace. Colliding into his chest, she fell backwards, but never felt an impact hit her bum.
"Are you alright?" Looking up, she saw Wallace, with concern on his face. He loosened his grasp on her arm, and helped her stand upright.
"Yeh I'm fine…. I just don't know where Sira's gone, and every time I ask her where she goes, she just winks and walks off…" She said, with a rather depressed look on her face.
Chuckling slightly, Wallace replied, "Well, Sira is a rather strange person… I don't think she wants to spoil her preformance in the contest, after all, not even I know which Pokemon she will use… although I have a pretty good guess."
Lily rubbed her chin as the question in her head, gnawed in the back of her mind. "So what is a contest? I mean I've never really heard about them."
He took a moment to reply, half trying to find the best way to explain it, the other half of how he was astonished about how she never knew about contests. "hmm… well a contest is basically when a trainer, takes their Pokemon, and works along side of them to show the best results of a certain performance, such as beauty, or coolness, and try to win the judges vote. Then the 4 winners of the performance part, battle each other to the semi finals, where they both work on keeping higher points, or fainting the opponents Pokemon. It is a very enjoyable experience for the Pokemon and trainers!"
Lily winced, "Why do trainers feel the need to fight though?"
Wallace pondered for a moment, before replying, "I… haven't really thought about that, I guess for multiple reasons, to strengthen relationships with their Pokemon, become champions, or masters as some believe, to become good coordinators, there is a large variety of reasons, but if you fell disturbed for the Pokemon, some are made for fighting, others are made for contests, healing and such, you get me?"
Lily nodded, "Yeah it kinda makes sense." She still didn't fully understand.
"Alright, now how about we have something to eat, you must be very hungry!"
Renamon placed her hands on Lily's shoulders, "Did I just hear food!? Where! Where!"
Wallace chimed slightly, "You'll have to follow me to get the food."
They walked into a restaurant. Lily and Renamon settled for a 3 course meal, where as Wallace just at main and dessert, "So I'm guessing you two like food."
Both of them smiled, "Yeah, this is the second time I've had around this much food." Renamon chimed, inhaling the food by the second. Lily was about to make a comment but she felt a hand cover her head,
"And what are you two doing here?" Turning her head, she spotted a slightly pissed looking Sira, "Eating, I'm living in heaven!"
Sira turned to Wallace, "By the way, did you tell them you weren't paying the bill for them?"
Wallace smiled, "No I'll pay the bill, after all they are friends of yours are the not?"
Sira groaned, "They burn through the wallet pretty well though."
"You took them to an all you can eat?"
"Sadly, the bill was huge… after all, someone had 8 main meals, and 9 puddings." She sighed before continuing, "I'm just glad I had that much money to pay for both of them."
Renamon flinched at her murderous gaze, "Anyhow, if the bill gets too high, then I'll pay for half."
Wallace placed his hands up, "Honestly being champion, I get enough money to pay for a lot of people, so just think of it as a thanks for letting me champion, phantom champion." He winked.
Lily spoke between bites, "So how did it come to be, that Sira was a champion, or whatever you called it…"
Wallace chuckled to Sira, "Would you like to tell them that?"
Sighing, she nodded, "Well, as you know, a champion is the strongest trainer in a region. Four people compete against you, plus the champion him or herself will fight against you. Once you beat all 5 of them, you are reined champion. Long story short I beat all five, Wallace competed against me, I lost my title, and gave it to him."
Renamon, didn't really care, she was more concerned with her food, but lily stared, "There's a plot hole, because he still calls you a champion."
Sira sighed, "I'm not in the mood to explain this, anyway Renamon could you stop inhaling your food, it's disgusting and unladylike, you keep on making noises."
Renamon glared, "Ladylike my ass, anyway I only got 1 meal a day in the castle if that, so leave me be I'm just taking advantage of the situation!"
Sighing, Sira shook her head, "I forgot…"
Sitting down, she too got a main meal, but let Renamon finish it, because of the slight amount of nausea and lack of hunger in her stomach.
Heading back to the Pokemon center, Wallace guffawed, "Well I hope you enjoy the contest tomorrow!"
Sira groaned, and padded back to her room. Lily entered the room, and found her curled up on her bed. "Sira are you okay?"
"…………."
Walking over, Lily found her already asleep.
