Pokemon
(Orihime's voice): The Better Ultimate Show-woman
Orihime and Nel have been waiting for this battle. It's Swanna and Sylveon going against Gogoat and Salamence. Neither one of them appear to be backing down from this battle.
'This is it. All I have to do is beat Nel and that's what I'm going to do.' Orihime thought. 'It won't be easy, but I've come too far.' "Let's go! Sylveon use Quick Attack and Swanna use Aerial Ace!" She said. Both of their pokemon went on the attack and moved fast with their attacks with both of them landing against them.
"Orihime starts off with some fast attacks." Haron said.
"Fast is good, but you need to have some power behind them." Nel said as Gogoat and Salamence were able to shake off the attacks.
"Good thing we're just getting started. Swanna, Air Slash on Gogoat!" Orihime said. Swanna held out its wings and released the attack.
"I don't think so. Salamence, Incinerate!" Nel said. Salamence shot out multiple fireballs and it blocked Swanna's attack. "Gogoat, Leaf Blade on Sylveon!" Gogoat charged right at Sylveon with the horns glowing green. Gogoat slammed against Sylveon.
"Salamence might be powerful, but I need to take out Gogoat while I can." Orihime said. "Swanna, Aerial Ace on Gogoat!"
"Don't think so. You use Aerial Ace too!" Nel said.
"But how?!" Orihime said as she was surprised. Both pokemon used the same attack and crashed into each other and cancelled each other out.
"Salamence, Dragon Claw!" Nel said. Salamence flew over to Swanna and slashed it with Swanna crashing near Sylveon.
"Since when did Gogoat learn Aerial Ace?!" Ichigo said.
"She must have had Gogoat learn it to deal with flying-types." Rukia said.
"Are you both okay?" Orihime said. Both of her pokemon were able to get back up and keep battling.
"Neither side is backing down." Haron said.
"I'm not just going to hand over that win, Orihime. Salamence, Steel Wing!" Nel said. Salamence hardened its wings and flew right at the two of them.
"Not good!" Rukia said. "She must have had Salamence learn that for fairy-types like Sylveon since they're unaffected by dragon-types."
"Dodge it, both of you!" Orihime said. Swanna flew up high and Sylveon ducked below to avoid the attack. "Time to fight back. Sylveon, Fairy Wind!" Sylveon spun her ribbons around and generated a sparkling wind that Salamence got caught in.
"Don't forget Gogoat. Giga Impact!" Nel said. Gogoat charged right at Sylveon in a spiral of energy and smashed into her pretty hard. "Salamence, go after Swanna!" Salamence flew up and went after Swanna, but Swanna was avoiding Salamence with much grace.
"Look at that Swanna go. It's avoiding Salamence with much style and grace." Haron said.
"Bubble Beam!" Orihime said. Swanna got over Salamence and shot a barrage of bubbles with Salamence getting blasted. "Now use Air Slash!" Swanna used the attack and blasted Salamence with it with Salamence getting knocked to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Nel asked with Salamence getting back up. "So let's use Incinerate!" Salamence used the attack with the fireballs heading for Swanna.
"Aqua Ring!" Orihime said. Swanna formed the rings made out of water and it seemed to have blocked the attack while healing Swanna. Everyone was shocked by that.
"Amazing! Swanna blocked the attack with Aqua Ring and restored some of its energy!" Haron said.
"Wait. I've seen that before." Ichigo said. "That's just what Absol and I do when we use Swords Dance."
"Only this time, Orihime used it to gain some strength back." Chad said. "It probably worked since that was a fire-type move. It was still impressive." The battle kept going, but Orihime was really feeling the pressure.
'Both of Nel's pokemon are pretty strong. I've got to keep one of them still for a while.' Orihime thought and she knew the attack to do just that. "Sylveon use Attract on Salamence!" Sylveon winked and sent hearts at Salamence. The attack worked and Salamence has fallen for Sylveon.
"And that Attract worked. Salamence could be in trouble now." Haron said.
"Swanna, Aerial Ace!" Orihime said.
"I don't think so. Gogoat use your Aerial Ace!" Nel said. Both pokemon used the same attack and the results were the same as before. "Now use Giga Drain….on Salamence!" Everyone was surprised by that. Gogoat released some energy from its horn and it blasted Salamence with some of Salmence's energy being drained. Once that happened, it caused Salamence to snap out of it. "Sorry about that, Salamence."
"Look at that! Nel was able to snap Salamence back to normal by draining some of its energy." Haron said.
"I've got to attack and take one of them out while I can." Orihime said. "Sylveon, Moonblast!" Sylveon formed the pink orb and launched it, but Gogoat stepped in and deflected the attack with its horns.
"You'll have to do better than that." Nel said. Sylveon was starting to get frustrated itself and didn't want to lose like Orihime. Sylveon reached deep inside its power and was surrounded by a bright rainbow light. Sylveon charged right at the two of them and everyone was amazed with what's happening.
"Gogoat, counter that with Leaf Blade!" Nel said. Gogoat charged in to meet the attack. The two crashed into each other and pushed the other back from both attacks.
"What was that?!" Ichigo said.
"I think Sylveon just learned how to use Dazzling Gleam!" Rukia said.
"Dazzling Gleam learned in the middle of a battle?" Nel said. "That's impressive, but it still won't get you the win."
"Sylveon doesn't want to lose like I do." Orihime said. "Now that Sylveon has learned this attack, I can't lose. Swanna and Sylveon, are you with me?" Both of them were in full agreement with Orihime.
"Sorry, but that's what's going to happen. Salamence, finish Sylveon with Steel Wing!" Nel said. Salamence flew right at Sylveon with his wings glowing. It seemed like Sylveon was done for as Salamence crashed into the ground. "Did it work?" The dust cleared, but Sylveon was gone. "Where'd it go?"
"Look up there!" Haron said. All of them looked and saw that Swanna was able to save Sylveon.
"I've got to finish this while I can." Orihime said as she was betting all on one last attack. Sylveon and Swanna won't hold out much longer and needs to attack. "Swanna, Aerial Ace! Sylveon, Dazzling Gleam!" Sylveon generated that rainbow light again with Swanna enveloping it making its feathers sparkle like a rainbow.
"Combining attacks? We can do that too." Nel said. "Salamence, Steel Wing again! Gogoat, Giga Drain!" Gogoat released more energy and Salamence flew with it as it combined with its wings.
"This is it! We could be looking at a collision and only one side could be walking away!" Haron said as both sides flew right at each other. Everyone watch with anticipation as to see what was going to happen and a winner will be made. The two crashed into each other and it caused a great explosion. Everyone watched carefully as to who will come out of there. Suddenly, something fell out and crashed into the ground. "Something came out, but which pokemon is it?" Everyone watched as the smoke cleared away and showed that it was…..Swanna and Sylveon knocked out. Salamence was still flying. "Swanna and Sylveon are unable to battle. That means the winner is Nel with Gogoat and Salamence!" Everyone cheered for Nel as she is the winner of the Ultimate Talent Star.
"We won!" Nel said as both of her pokemon came to her arms. "You both were great. Thank you so much." Orihime was upset that she lost, but she was happy at the same time. She walked over to both her pokemon who were just as upset.
"Swanna and Sylveon, you were amazing." Orihime said to cheer them up.
"That was incredible." Ichigo said as they clapped with the audience.
"Absol."
"They both battled well." Rukia said.
"You can say that again." Chad said. Now that the battle is won, Nel has been rewarded her trophy.
"Congratulations to Nel for winning the Ultimate Talent Star." Haron said as everyone cheered for her again. "Now that it's over, we invite all of you to join us in celebration tonight of this great moment.

Later
A party was being held for all this. It was for Nel on winning and becoming the Ultimate Show-woman as well as another glorious Ultimate Talent Star. Orihime looked around and saw everyone was having fun and saw that Nel was real happy. Both of them were great rivals that pushed each other in that battle, but it all worked out really well.
"Hey. Are you okay?" Rukia asked as she and her friends came over to her. "Aren't you having fun?"
"I am." Orihime said.
"You're not upset that you lost?" Chad asked.
"I am, but I'm doing okay." Orihime said. "It's hard to stay sad when it was so much fun and when such a great friend was the one who won all of it." They were all pretty impressed with what they heard out of her.
"You know something, Orihime. I think you're pretty amazing." Ichigo said. It actually caused Orihime to blush.
"I am? Oh no. I don't know what you're talking about." Orihime said as she was being modest and embarrassed at the same time.
"No. I mean it." Ichigo said. "You've come a long way since you first started out. You're getting stronger and stronger as well as better and better. Even though you didn't win, you're actually handling it pretty well."
"You really think so?" Orihime said.
"Yeah. It really shows you're becoming a great trainer and I'm sure all your pokemon feel the same." Ichigo said. Orihime felt really flattered with having Ichigo praise her like this.
"He's right. You're a great trainer, Orihime." Nel said as she came over. "This victory feels much greater since you were my final opponent."
"Really? Nel, you were better than me from the start." Orihime said.
"Stop putting yourself down." Nel said. "In fact, I'm actually looking forward to the next time we battle again. It's so much fun."
"Thank you." Orihime said. She was glad she made great friends through all of this. "Ichigo, it's your turn now. The Johto League will be coming soon."
"You're right." Ichigo said as he was getting a little excited. "We're going to do our best and we'll win it too. Won't we, Absol?"
"Absol."
Even though Orihime lost, she still had a lot of fun and had a great battle. Now, Ichigo will be having his turn. The Johto League will be coming soon and you don't want to miss it….as the journey continues.
To Be Continued….
