Eve: Okay, time for another chapter!
Legends Awaken: Sinnoh Arc
Chapter 38
"Alright, I'm going up after this guy, so I'll be going." Kaien said, smiling.
"Good luck!" Sakura said, smiling.
"Thanks." Kaien said, taking out a pokeball.
"Now, our next competitor is Kaien Shimura from Oreburgh City!" The announcer said, as Kaien walked out into the center of the stage.
"Buizel, go!" Kaien shouted, throwing out a pokeball, which Buizel emerged from in blast of bubbles.
"Buizel, used whirlpool!" Kaien ordered. Buizel held up his hands, and created a whirlpool above his head, throwing it in front of him. He then launched an ice punch onto it, freezing it solid.
"That thief…" Sakura said, staring at the blatant rip-off of her style.
"Well, it was his pokemon." Akira said. They then turned their attention to the screen.
"Bui!" Buizel said, jumping into the air, launching an aqua jet down into the base of the whirlpool, shattering it into ice crystals.
"Now, use razor wind!" Kaien ordered. Buizel began spinning, and launch a whirlwind out of his body, blowing the ice crystals out over the audience.
"Okay, that's another inspiring performance." Sakura said, smiling. "I can't wait."
"Now, our last performance of the day is Sakura Sanaeya from Geminite City!"
"Alright, go, Budew!" Sakura said, throwing out a pokeball. Budew emerged in a flurry of petals, and then began glowing.
"Budew is evolving!" The announcer proclaimed, as the light settled around Roselia, with petals falling around him.
"Whoa, what's that?" Sakura asked, looking at her pokedex.
"Roselia, the Thorn Pokémon. Roselia's aroma can bring serenity, but the thorns on its head contain a vicious poison." The pokedex said. "Roselia's current moves are: Petal Dance, Poison Sting, Stun Spore, and Giga Drain."
"Okay, Roselia, use petal dance!" Sakura ordered. Roselia began spinning around in a circle, launching petals out of the flowers on his hands.
The petals flew up into the air, and began to lightly fall towards the grown.
"Now, use poison sting!" The flowers on Roselia's hands began glowing, and he launched poisonous needles out of the flowers, piercing every single petal, turning them into a small dust, which mixed with the stun spore Roselia launched.
"A beautiful rainbow hue created by mixing two attacks!" The announcer proclaimed. "Magnificent!"
"Alright, it looks like Sakura made a good appeal!" Kaien said, smiling.
"Yeah, now let's see if we all make it to the final round!" Sakura said, walking into the dressing room, smiling.
"Okay, they're posting the people who passed on the view screen." Akira said, pointing at the screen, where the three of them were located, along with five others.
"Pay up." Akira said, sticking his hand out to Kaien, who grumbled, placing a 500 poke bill in his hand.
"You two were betting on whether or not you would get to the next round?" Sakura asked. "That's so immature."
"Not exactly." Akira said, smiling.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked.
"We were betting on whether or not you would get into the second round." Akira said.
"You were betting on me?" Sakura exclaimed.
"Actually I was betting against it." Akira said.
"Then why did Kaien pay?" Sakura asked.
"Because I bet 1000 poke that both of us would get in to, which he bet against." Akira said.
"Alright, now they're displaying the battles." Kaien said, interrupting them.
"Whoa…" Akira said, looking up at the view screen.
"So, the first battle is between the two of you?" Sakura asked, smirking.
"Alright, that's what I was waiting for!" Kaien said, smiling. "Our last battle was in Oreburgh, in a tie!"
"I can't wait to finally resolve this." Akira said, smiling.
"Alright, the first battle will be between Akira Saroyan from Twinleaf Town and Kaien Shimura from Oreburgh City!" The announcer said.
"Alright, so what will they use?" Sakura asked herself. "Kaien has Yanmega, bug/flying, Staraptor, normal/flying, Sandslash, ground, Drifloon, ghost/flying, and Buizel, water. So, Akira will probably use something against flying types."
"Luxio, go!" Akira said, throwing out a pokeball, which Luxio emerged from.
"Sandslash, come out!" Kaien said, throwing out a pokeball, which Sandslash emerged from.
"How nostalgic." Akira said, smiling.
"Same to you, pall." Kaien said, smiling. "Sandslash, use rollout and dig!"
Sandslash dug into the ground, and began rolling around underground, increasing power.
"Luxio, just wait until you see the ground come up." Akira said.
"Lux." Luxio said, nodding.
Sandslash shot out from the hole, and Luxio jumped backwards, dodging the attack, causing Kaien's counter to go down.
Luxio, use iron tail!" Akira ordered. Luxio charged her tail with iron force, and slammed it into Sandslash, knocking him to the ground, causing Kaien's counter to go down to 3/4ths.
"Sandslash, use earthquake!" Kaien shouted. Sandslash slammed into the ground, shooting a shockwave at Luxio, who jumped into the air.
Sandslash's claws began glowing bright, and he charged forwards, slamming his claw into Luxio, knocking her to the ground, while Akira's counter went down to 3/4ths.
This went on for a while, back and forth, until the counters were down to 1/4th and the timer was down to 3o seconds.
"Sandslash, use crush claw!" Kaien ordered.
"Luxio, use iron tail!" Akira said. Luxio and Sandslash charged towards eachother, and slammed together in a fierce blow.
"And the winner is…" The announcer said, looking up at the board.
"Akira Saroyan from Twinleaf Town!" The announcer proclaimed.
"Yes!" Akira said, smiling.
"Ah, well…" Kaien said, shrugging.
"Congrats, Akira!" Sakura said, smiling. "I'm up next!"
The battles went on, until the final battle.
"Now, the last battle is Akira Saroyan from Twinleaf Town vs. Sakura Sanaeya from Geminite City!"
"Alright, Vulpix, go!" Sakura said, throwing out a pokeball, which Vulpix emerged from.
"Eevee, ready?" Akira asked, throwing out a pokeball, which Eevee emerged from.
"Vulpix, use flamethrower!" Sakura ordered. Vulpix launched a blast of flame at Eevee, who dodged with quick attack. She then charged forwards, and slammed into Vulpix, knocking him back.
"Eevee, use take down!" Akira ordered. Eevee charged forwards, slamming into Vulpix, causing both the counters to lower.
"Vulpix, use energy ball!" Sakura ordered. Vulpix fired a blast of energy in a sphere, which hit Eevee dead on, causing Akira's counter to drop.
Eevee emerged from the smoke, charging into Vulpix with a take down, and Vulpix countered with a fire spin, badly injuring her.
"Vulpix, use fire spin and flamethrower together!" Sakura said. Vulpix launched a stream of flame combined with a tornado of flame.
Suddenly, Eevee began glowing, launching several large bubble spheres from her mouth, hitting the combined attack, blowing it up, as Vulpix struggled to stand up, The two counters dropped to 1/4th.
As the time ran out, Eevee charged forwards at Vulpix with a take down, as Vulpix launched a stream of flame at Eevee, the two collided in a blast of smoke.

Eve: I'm so evil! Also, what's the conversion of poke to dollars? I mean if it's a direct transfer, you start out with 3000 dollars. I'm guessing it's like a hundredth, so about 30 dollars in reality.
