…..

"AND NOW, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE WELCOME, GROUP C FOR THE GROUP PERFORMANCE!" announcer harry exclaimed.

The audience echoed, and then they clapped, from hiatus of the corner, her eyes searched for someone. There he was!

Serena looked at him for a briefest moment; he was in same old visor, a futile attempt to hide himself, she sighed.

"Pancham, can you keep a request for me?" she stared at her faithful oldest Pokémon.

"Pancham?"

"Would you please stay here pancham? Today I only want to perform with Sylveon, only with one Pokémon."

"PANCHAM!"

"please Pancham! Today I want to prove I am worthy of him."

"Pancham!"

"Please!"

…...

On cue, the tent flaps parted, instantly silencing the crowd, who gazed upon the figure as she made her way towards center stage. The awe played all over again, as everyone took in the sight of the girls' appearance.

The furisode clad onto Serena's form held a wonderful distribution of creamy white and light pink separated by soft curves, accented along certain points by narrow bands of light blue in two different shades, including the edges of her large sleeves. A big pink and white bow was settled just beneath her collar, from which two "feelers" extended, wrapping around most of her upper arms before hanging off to the sides. Two more feelers were clipped to her hair, identical to the others but nearly reaching down to her ankles. The clips themselves were shaped and colored like a Sylveon's ears. Completing her look was her blue ribbon, tied into a bow beneath her left clip; although its shading didn't match exactly to the dress's own hue.

"She is going to perform with only one Pokémon!" Ash merely whispered.

Serena didn't care, and Ash knew why.

As she reached the stump's central ring, the performer stopped, flashing her signature smile and raising her arms out to nearly shoulder level. Eyes widened, as suddenly, four more feelers sprouted from the dress. Unlike the others though, these were moving on their own. For a few seconds, the new sets formed various symmetrical shapes and patterns, framing Serena in wondrous backdrops, making her exception from every other performer.

Once the crowd had been sufficiently excited, the honey-blonde took hold of the uppermost feelers, which wrapped themselves up to her wrists.

Of course it made Ash enchanted, never like before.

"ALL RIGHT PERFORMERS! LET'S START THE SHOW!" harry announced.

…..

With one swift motion, the honey-blonde heaved upwards with her arms. In an instant, a form was slung over her head from behind, landing perfectly before her on all fours, giving a joyous cry.

"Veon!"

The other performers started to perform well too, but it was Serena's day.

Sylveon took a small, introductory bow along with her trainer, as the audience was now in perfect condition to observe their routine.

"Alright Sylveon, use Fairy Wind!"

The moment her partner leapt into the air, Serena started spinning, smoothly beginning a transition into dance. Sylveon was quick to generate a large gust of sparkling winds with her feelers, twirling in the air while doing so. The Intertwining Pokémon switched to somersaulting as she fell back down, landing cleanly onto Serena's outstretched arm. As the two spun momentarily, their combined feelers drifted around them in a veil of white ribbons, eliciting more approval from the audience.

"Now Swift!"

Sylveon performed a handful of dance steps across her trainer's arm span, before leaping off with help from Serena's upward movement. While flipping numerous times, a dense cluster of stars sprang out from her feelers, which were immediately caught up in the vortex of Fairy Wind still surging strong. Upon returning to the ground, Sylveon switched to an encircling dance around her trainer, who was twirling away in ballet fashion. The glittering stars and twinkling of their vortex caused nothing short of dropped jaws in the crowd, watching the enveloped performers proclaim their skill and elegance on the stage. But Serena wasn't done just yet.

"Double Team, Sylveon!"

Just like that, an entire ring of Intertwining Pokémon appeared in a flash, transforming the performers' ballet duet into an astonishing hybrid of dance and synchronized swimming. Each Sylveon copy fluttered its feelers about as it flipped and skipped around Serena and her partner, creating the effect of a mass of ribbons fluttering in the breeze. Deciding it was finally enough, Serena called out her last command.

"Fairy Wind once more!"

Giving Sylveon another boost into the sky, the performer watched her Pokémon discharge another blast of Fairy Wind; this time creating a spin in the opposite direction. Both girl and Pokémon were obscured by the converging winds and stars, before the vortex exploded from the opposing forces, cleanly wiping away all of Sylveon's afterimages and firing off her Swift stars in all directions. The audience was treated to a fireworks show, as each star burst into dazzling sparkles that surrounded them as well as the stage.

At long last, Serena emerged from the scattering winds, locked into a finishing pose with Sylveon balancing on her outstretched arm with one paw. As the duo gazed across the audience with big smiles, they were practically deafened by the outpour of cheers and applause, with many people jumping up and down or waving their hands in the air. The performer and her partner both took a bow, glancing over to the stage side to see that Ash was clapping away with a fascinated eye, as much as her sleeves permitted. Various comments could be discerned from the mob as their approving reactions died down.

"OW MY! WHAT A MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE FROM GROUP C, PROBABLY THE BEST ONE TILL NOW! WELL FELLAS IT'S TIME FOR VOTE!" Harry exclaimed.

The whole room started to boom, with a tremendous applous ! The whole team did well, but who did the best. Well, the voting will say now.

Serena stood there quietly, at one point, she closed her eyes.

Even though she performed after a long time, today she gave up everything she had, cause today was special, today he was watching her.

The voting started. On a big screen above the stage, it showed performers voting counts in columns.

…...

Of course , the first vote for Serena came from Ash; he whirled up his glow caster.

"She is gonna win this Pikachu, I know this!"

"Piika-pika"

"Hope she is well"

Serena stood there quietly, still kept her eyes closed. In past this moments made her nervous as hell, made her anxious. But now it didn't. Today only one thing mattered to her did he like it! Did he like her performance?

The voting finished. Harry came ahead to announce the winner.

"BONJOUR! THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THIS AMAZING RESPONSE IN THE VOTING, NOW LET'S ANNOUNCE TE GROUP WINNER…"

Serena sighed; Ash was looking at her like glue…

" ,…. AND THE GROUP C WINNER IS… OW MY, THE MAJORITY VOTE GOES FOR A PARTICULAR PERFORMER, THE PERFORMER WHO PERFORMED WITH ONLY ONE POKÉMON, YET MANAGED TO WOW BEWITCH EVERYONE WITH HER PERFORMANCE, SHE IS A POPULAR SHOWCASE PERFORMER FROM KALOS REGION, CONTESTANT SERENA YVONNE!"

The crowd started to roar again, that was it! Serena became the group champion. Smiling with satisfaction, Ash finally sat on his sit.
Serena opened her eyes too, smiling. Harry took the princess key from Klefki.

"THERE YOU GO BONJOUR! YOUR FIRST PRINCESS KEY! GOOD LUCK FOR THE NEXT ROUND."

"Thank you!" Serena replied in happy tone, Serena then turned to the crowd, bowing to them, with a manner of picking her cloth up, little bit.

"Thank you very much for voting me."

The audience clattered for the last time, smiling, Serena quietly made her way to the exit. But at the very last moment, she turned.

And then that happened.

Their eyes met each other, for a briefest moment.

And that was enough for them.
