Reservae Town, a town with a four star resort. Our heroes have arrived in this town for Kari to win her third ribbon.
"Vaporeon let me see that new Aqua Tail." Kari said.
"Vaporeon!" Vaporeon had water come out of its tail and slammed it down with sparkles going around.
"Ever since Vaporeon learned some water type moves, it's looking great." Ross said.
"You got this Kari." Ash said.
"Yeah we know you're going to win." Davis said.
"Thanks guys, I'm going to win that third ribbon." Kari said.
It's always hard when your journey begins
How to find your way
How to make new friends
But there's nothing you can do
Cause you got the power inside of you
It's not always right or wrong
As long as your spirits strong
It's not about win or lose
It's the path you choose
Let the journey begin
Pokemon
(Kari's voice) Coordinated Love
"Alright Vaporeon let's try something else." Kari said. Then something emerged from the water they were standing by and it was a Mantine.
"It's a Mantine!" Ross said.
"Mantine?" Davis said and took out his pokedex.
"Mantine, the Kite pokemon and the evolve form of Mantyke. Mantine swim in union and they look like as if they can fly."
"What's a Mantine doing all the way out here? Don't they live in the ocean?" Ash said.
"That's true." Ross said.
"Mantine there you are." They saw that T.K. was running up to them.
"T.K. you're here too." Ash said.
"This is your Mantine?" Davis said.
"Yeah sure is." T.K. said.
"So T.K. are you entering this contest?" Kari said.
"Actually all my pokemon are exhausted from the gym battles and contests I came to this town for some relaxing." T.K. said.
"Oh, well that's okay. There's still one person here I want to see" Kari said holding up the letter she got from the mysterious Mina. A while later Kari was doing some training with Vaporeon and Vulpix was watching. "Now use Water Gun."
"Va!" Vaporeon shot water in the form of a geyser.
"Vulpix!"
"It looks like Vulpix is excited." Ross said.
"Davis you are going to watch Vulpix during the contest?" Kari said.
"Sure thing." Davis said.
"Wow I can't believe you're here." They saw a girl with long blonde hair, orange skirt, and white blouse running up to them.
"Uh hi can I help you?" Kari said.
"You're Kari Kamiya, I'm Mina."
"Wait are you the Mina that sent me this letter?" Kari said.
"Yeah I was. I saw you win a few contests and I just loved your performances. When I heard there would be a contest here I just had to send that letter to meet you." Mina said.
"Well it's nice to meet you Mina." Kari said. "I'm sure T.K. would like to meet you too since he's a coordinator and heard about you when you sent me that letter."
"Wait you mean thee T.K. is here?" Mina said with her face turning red.
"Yeah I could show you if you like to meet him." Kari said.
"Yes!" Mina said. T.K. was at the resort with all his pokemon out and was doing some tanning with Kari and Mina coming up to him.
"There he is." Kari said.
"Oh wow." Mina said beginning to act nervous as they went up to him.
"T.K. this is the Mina, she's the girl that sent the letter." Kari said and T.K. got up.
"Nice to meet you." T.K. said holding up his hand. Mina was real nervous, but she took his hand and shook it.
"It's nice to meet you Mina." Angemon said.
"So you're a fan of contests?" T.K. said.
"Yeah I actually went and entered this one." Mina said.
"Well I'm looking forward to it. Kari good luck to you too." T.K. said as he and his pokemon walked away.
"Bye." Mina said. Then she became serious. "And now for you!"
"What?" Kari said.
"I can tell there's something going on between you and T.K." Mina said.
"What!?" Kari said.
"Well if any girl is going to end up with him, it's going to be me." Mina said.
"Wait a minute Mina T.K. and I are just friends and I already have a boyfriend." Kari said.
"Either way I'm going to win this contest and soon I'll be with T.K." Mina said. Meanwhile the guys saw the whole thing.
"Would someone tell me what's so great about T.K.?" Davis said.
"Still jealous I see." Ross said.
"So what with Mina this is going to be a great contest." Ash said.
"Pikachu!"
"Squirtle!"
"You two said it." Imperialdramon said. Soon the contest got started with everyone gathering.
"Everyone out of those hot tubs and take your seats. The Reservae Contest is about to begin." Jillian said. "As we all know coordinators come together and compete to show off their pokemon. Now here are our judges. First we have Mr. Contesta."
"A pleasure it is as this place is relaxing." Mr. Contesta said.
"Next is Mr. Sukizo." Jillian said.
"Remarkable." Mr. Sukizoe said.
"Finally is Reservae Town's Nurse Joy." Jillian said.
"I'm happy to be here." Nurse Joy said. Meanwhile the guys were in the stands with Davis holding onto Vulpix.
"Watch carefully Vulpix on how contests work." Davis said.
"Vulpix."
"Hey you guys." T.K. said as he took a seat next to them. "What a cute Vulpix."
"It's actually Kari's. She wants Vulpix to see what a contest is like." Ross said. Meanwhile in the coordinator's room Mina and Kari were all set. Mina was wearing a blue dress with a light blue sash around her waist and a blue ribbon in her hair.
"Hey Kari sorry on how I acted. I got jealous for a second." Mina said.
"It's okay. So you have a crush on T.K. do you?" Kari said.
"He wouldn't, he's such a dream boat." Mina said. "Either way let's both do our best."
"Alright contests aren't the place for rest and relaxation so let's get started." Jillian said. A lot of coordinators have gone and soon Kari was up.
"Alright Vaporeon show time." Kari said and Vaporeon came through shinny bubbles.
"Vaporeon!"
"Wow so Kari's Eevee evolved into a Vaporeon." T.K. said.
"Vaporeon let's start out with Water Gun." Kari said and Vaporeon shot the water straight up. "Now let's use Aqua Tail." Vaporeon stopped with the water and quickly switched to its tail balancing it. "Let's finish this with Hidden Power." Vaporeon shot the orb up and when it reached the top it turned blue. Then Vaporeon let it fall and it landed on Vaporeon with it starting to glow blue.
"Wow excellent work out there. Vaporeon's glowing." Ross said.
"Vaporeon's been working hard since it evolved." Ash said.
"Now let's see what Mina is all about." Davis said.
"Okay we're down to our last coordinator. It's Mina." Jillian said with Mina coming out.
"Ponyta I choose you!" Mina said.
"Ponyta!"
"Ponyta start out with Ember." Mina said. Ponyta shot the specs of fire on the ground. "Now let's use Stomp." Ponyta started stomping around having the flames spread. "Now let's use Agility." Ponyta started moving around having the flames go everywhere.
"I don't get it." Davis said.
"She's showing the characteristics of fire itself and her fire type. Impressive. It's not all suppose to be lights and fireworks." T.K. said.
"Alright she was the last one so we'll take a break." Jillian said. In the coordinators room the girls were talking.
"Nice work out there." Kari said.
"Thanks Kari I've been working hard. Kari let me ask, do you think T.K. liked my performance?" Mina said.
"You must really like T.K., but I'm sure he did." Kari said.
"Now here are the eight coordinators that move on to round two." Jillian said. She showed the results and both girls were in."
"Alright we did it!" Both said.
"Awesome they're both in." Ash said.
"What do you think of Mina T.K.?" Davis said.
"She was pretty good. So who's Kari using in the second round?" T.K. said.
"I think she said something about using Liepard since its first contest from evolving." Ross said.
"Liepard?" T.K. said, but didn't seem excited. The second round went on and soon both Kari and Mina were in the second round.
"Well we made it to the final round. We have Mina and Kari." Jillian said. "Both girls only have five minutes to take away as much points as they can. So let's get started!"
"Liepard show time." Kari said and Liepard came through purple spiral energy.
"Liepard!"
"Alright Butterfree I need you." Mina said and Butterfree came through a group of stars.
"Bree!"
"That's not good. Liepard is a dark type and dark types are weak against bug types." Ross said.
"Let's just hope Kari can pull something out." T.K. said.
"There's nothing to hope Kari's going to win." Davis said.
"Davis is right." Ash said.
"Butterfree let's use Silver Wind." Mina said.
"Liepard use Fake Out." Kari said. Liepard clapped its paws together and Butterfree's attack failed. "Now Liepard use Assist." Liepard's Assist turned into Skarmory's Air Cutter.
"It's Air Cutter, if that hits then Kari is sure to win." Ross said.
"Butterfree use Protect." Mina said. Butterfree put up an energy barrier and was shielded.
"I thought I had that." Kari said.
"Sorry Kari, but you have to try harder than that." Mina said. "Now Butterfree use Gust." Butterfree flapped it's wings creating wind pushing Liepard back. "Now Butterfree use Silver Wind." Butterfree flapped again creating shining wind and Liepard was taking serious damage.
"Liepard!" Kari shouted as Liepard tried to get up.
"Could this be the end for Liepard?" Jillian said. Then Liepard had black energy starting to cover its paws and grew nails slashing Butterfree.
"What was that?" Davis said.
"Shadow Claw, Liepard knows a new move." T.K. said.
"Liepard that was amazing." Kari said.
"Liepard!"
"Impressive, but it won't get you the win. Butterfree use Gust and Silver Wind." Mina said. Butterfree created a shiny tornado and had Liepard fly up in the air.
"Liepard use Assist." Kari said. Liepard's Assist turned into Vaporeon's Water Gun hitting Butterfree. "Now use Shadow Claw." Liepard flew down and slashed at Butterfree and knocked it out.
"Butterfree is no longer able to battle. So the winner is Kari!" Jillian said.
"Liepard that was great, you're amazing." Kari said hugging Liepard.
"Liepard!"
"Now we present Kari the Reservae Ribbon." Jillian said. Kari was given an ocean blue ribbon with the center a diamond.
"Yes I got the Reservae Ribbon!" Kari said.
"Vaporeon/Liepard!" After the contest Kari and Mina were staring out to the sunset.
"You earned that ribbon Kari, you were amazing." Mina said.
"Thank you Mina, you were great yourself." Kari said.
"Hey guys." They saw that T.K. and the others were walking up to them.
"Mina, you raised your Ponyta and Butterfree well. Both of them were real strong." T.K. said.
"I…ugh…" Mina fainted, but Kari managed to catch her.
"So Kari you got three ribbons now, then I'll see you soon." T.K. said.
"You can count on it." Kari said.
"Davis I'll see you in the Digose League." T.K. said and walked away.
"You better believe it and when we battle I'm going to win." Davis said.
Well Kari now has three ribbons and it looks as though T.K. got himself a number one fan. Now our heroes' journey continues as they head to the next gym.
