Disclaimer: O.O Why does it seem like I could own Pokemon?

Okay, I know that I promised to update once every two weeks. But because its the holidays for me, I'm thinking... Forget that! I'm just going to keep on writing and update until school starts again! BE HAPPY!

So here we go!

Chapter 38:

"Crystal!" Jimmy yelled again. He rushed toward her side, trying to pull of the giant light. He started to panic. Crystal wasn't moving and didn't seem to stir. At least for a moment there.

"I'm all right!" Crystal muffled. Suddenly, the large stage light was lifted quickly in the air. Jimmy gasped at his amazing power until he saw that it was actually Crystal's Ferlaigator who was lifting the light. It gently placed it to the side and looked concerning at Crystal who got up slowly. The light didn't hit her but several parts of the glass have shattered and left small bloody cuts on her face. "Thank goodness Wani-Wani was here," Crystal sighed in relief as she plucked the glass off of her shirt, "Speaking of which, what are you doing here Jimmy?"

Jimmy immediately blushed, thankful that the stage was dim and Crystal couldn't really see his face.

"Geez, I was worry about you!" Jimmy said in a confident voice. If something happened to you then you wouldn't be able to compete!" Crystal blinked in confusion as Jimmy continued on his rambling speech. "Okay, so you look fine and I'll be going now before I get into more trouble." With that Jimmy jumped off stage and back into the audience place.

"Crystal! Are you okay?" Ana asked walking over.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Crystal muttered as she checked her wounds.

"Guess Jimmy was worried huh?"

"Yeah, I thought he would've told me that he was only glad that I'm alive because I still have a chance to pay his bike."

"He didn't say that?" Ana asked, eyes wide open.

"No. He said that he was more worried about my life and my chances to compete," Crystal said, puzzled.

"That's weird," Ana said and turned her attention to the stage. A couple of the coordinators were being supported off the stage. A couple of security guards came towards them as well. "Whew, how did that happen?" Ana wondered. Crystal stared at the ceiling and at the missing lights.

"I don't know."

...

Jimmy stormed out of the audience. He was fuming with anger. Somebody wanted to hurt Crystal and he wasn't going to stand around, waiting for the attacker to strike again. He took out his Pokeball and summoned out Aipom.

"All right Aipom, I want you to do a full search of the area. Let me know if there is something weird going on." Aipom saluted and scurried off. Jimmy sighed as he moved in the opposite direction.

Time to find evidence. However, there wasn't any need to get any.

...

"That didn't finish them off," Jerald muttered as he looked through the small television, watching Ana and Crystal being supported down the stage. Dean winced and though he didn't want to admit it, he was really glad nobody got hurt.

"We're just going to have to go with plan B," Jerald muttered as he turned around opening a large black bag in front of him.

"Wha-?" Dean gasped, "No, listen we got almost everybody leaving. Lela has a better chance winning! There's no need to do more stuff that'll get us suspicious."

"Dean, are you going to listen to me or are you going to chicken out like a loser?" Jerald glared at Dean until he hung his head in submission. "Good, I need you to take this box and put them where we agreed to put it and then..."

Jean listened to the conversation. These guys were pretty dim, hiding out here. But no matter. They're going to get what they deserve. But first, it's better to watch and let them enjoy their supposed victory while they can. At least, it makes the look on their faces more enjoyable to watch. Plus, she was up next in the dancing. Jean took out a small recorder and pressed the stop button.

Men are really stupid.

...

Mealine growled in frustration. So Plan A didn't work quite as well. Sure they got quite a few people to leave but the main problem is still there. It took a long time to even unscrew the lights, tie them by wires and hook them electronically so that they drop at the right time. She was starting to wish that the plan worked so all that work wouldn't go wasted. Mealine fumbled in her purse and pulled out a walkie-talkie.

"It didn't work," Mealine muttered through the mouthpiece.

"Of course it didn't work," Jerald snapped. Static could be heard on the other side. "I can see that. You don't need to tell me the obvious." Mealine sighed in frustration. Even though she was working with them, the team isn't cooperating as well as she wanted. "We're moving to Plan B. Dean is preparing for that part so get Lela ready." Mealine frowned. Plan B? That was dangerous. Someone is bound to figure out that this sabotage was their doing. Not to mention way more... accidents.

"Plan B?" Mealine asked, making sure her ears are working.

"Yes." And with that the communication was disconnected. Mealine fumbled in her purse again to take out her Pokeballs. Time to get to work again.

Author's Notes

I admit I could write more but I have a brain freeze and I have no idea what's the evil plan Jerald's thinking of... (seriously, I'm still thinking of other methods one could sabotage a contest...)

Anyways, lets thank my reviewers.
