It took us a good 10 minutes of running, but we made it back on time. While we were gone, Jessica performed Toxic, Valerie performed Material Girl, and Shauna, Nini, and Miette did I Gotta Feeling. As we went backstage, Diantha was just announced onto the stage. After saying a few words, she prepared to sing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hallelujah~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Diantha: I heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord. But you don't really care for music, do ya? Well it goes like this; the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift. The baffled king composing Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halleluuuuuuuuuuujah.
Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof. You saw her bathing on the roof. Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya. She tied you to the kitchen chair. She broke your throne and she cut your hair. And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halleluuuuuuuuuuujah.
Well, baby, I've been here before. I've seen this room and I've walked this floor. I used to live alone before I knew ya. And I've seen your flag on the marble arch and love is not a victory march. It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halleluuuuuuuuuuujah.
Maybe there's a God above, but all I've ever learned from love is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya. And it's not a cry you hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light. It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halleluuuuuuuuuuujah.
The audience went wild as they applauded her for an excellent performance. We were impressed that Diantha could sing really well. Soon, one more performance was up and then it'd be time for the big finale. Who would be doing this final performance? Well, your answer is Clemont. Yep, you heard me. The Lumious City gym leader who freezes up on dates and in front of any kind of camera, is performing on stage. However, this one is special because he's going to propose!!! No, it's not a marriage proposal, it's a date/girlfriend proposal. Who's it for? Don't tell him I told you, but it's for Korrina. I know right? They are a match made in heaven. Complete opposites meant to be together. Anyhow, Sycamore called him out onto the stage as a nervous Clemont walks out smiling and hoping not to mess this up.
He took a deep breath and says,"Um...good evening. This song I'm doing, I'm dedicating it to a special someone. Korrina, this is for you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Another One Down~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clemont: Looking through the last 10 days of texts you sent. Wondering if all of what you said is what you meant. I guess it's over now, but you never gave a reason why. I guess it wasn't worth the work 'cause you never even said goodbye.
And I should just give you up 'cause I'm just another one down. Baby, the truth about us is I'm just a little too loud. I'm looking back too much. When I know I should just give you up 'cause I'm just another one down. Just another one down. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Just another one down. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Just when I thought you were giving in and getting close. You turned away, found a way back to what you know ( what you know ). Even when it's just begun, now you always find a way to run ( find a way to run ). I really thought you were the one, but to you, I'm just another one.
And I should just give you up 'cause I'm just another one down ( I'm just another one ). Baby, the truth about us is I'm just a little too loud ( I'm just a little too loud ). I'm looking back to much ( Oh ). When I know I should ( Oh ) just give you up 'cause I'm just another one down. Just another one down. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Just another one down. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh ( Ooh ).
I guess it's over now, but you never gave a reason why. I guess I wasn't worth the work 'cause you never even said goodbye.
And I should just give you up 'cause I'm just another one down ( I'm just another, I'm just another one down ). Baby, the truth about us is I'm just a little too loud ( All is just a little too loud ). I'm looking back too much ( Too much, too much ). When I know I should just give you up 'cause I'm just another one down. Just another one down. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh ( I'm just another, I'm just another one down). Just another one down. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh...
The audience was cheering for Clemont as everyone backstage was moved by his song. Korrina was deeply touched as Clemont soaked in some of the admiration before saying,"Now, before I go, Korrina, can you come out to the stage please"? Korrina, a little confused, rolled out onto the stage. Clemont grabbed her by her hand, smiled and said,"Korrina, when we first met, we were good friends helping you on your training journey. Along the way, you've sparked a feeling inside of me that at first, got me confused. However, understanding it got me to realize that.. I love you." Clemont knelt down before saying,"Korrina, will you make me the happiest gym leader in all of Kalos and become my girlfriend"? Korrina was blushing mad red and in a deep state of shock and happiness. Everyone anticipated what she was going to say as an answer. With a huge smile, Korrina slowly nodded and says,"Yes," as the two hugged and kissed while everyone, the audience and all of us backstage, clapped and cheered loudly for the new couple.
As they soon came back backstage, we were all congratulating them for their new budding romance. I say,"You're a lucky man Clemont. I know you two will be happy together." Serena says,"Young love is a treasure. You two are meant for one another. I'm so happy for you both." Katie smiled, saying,"This concert has made all explore new moments and feelings that have harvested deep inside of us." Even Ember was smiling, feeling better from earlier and saying,"This has been a great experience for all." Now, it was time for the big finale. Sycamore came back to the stage and says,"How is everyone doing tonight"? The audience was ecstatic as Sycamore continued with,"I just want to take a moment to thank all the performers who helped make the concert really marvelous. I also want to thank the people who helped to make everything work and make the stage perfect for the occasion." Everyone cheered loudly as Sycamore finished off with,"Now, to end our wondrous night, our final number performed by our one and only Pop All Stars"!! Everyone went ecstatic once more as we were all on stage. All of us: Serena, Katie, Ember, and myself. We were ready to dance and sing our hearts out. It was time to end this concert with a bang!!!!

Everyone were out of their seats applauding and cheering extremely loud. The four of us were the happiest we've ever been as we smiled and bowed. Soon, all the other performers, singers, and bands came out and bowed along with us as the audience kept their active energy up. If you were to see Lumious City right now, you wouldn't see a city recovering from a crisis. You'd see everyone happy and connected as one. Katie and Serena were relived and happy. They're finally reunited and got to do what they're meant to be doing. Peace and tranquility was seen all over the world and everyone was relaxed and happy. Recovery was now going to be easier and a lot more fun.
