Chapter 33
Last time; Ruby, Weiss and Yang entered the Pokemon Contest in Brazil City. After many performances and battling performances, Weiss and Ruby had to fight each other and after a major battle, Ruby emerged as the victor. Yang went up against another fiery coordinator named, Daniel and his Arcanine. After putting up their best fiery techniques and displays, Yang proves her fire is more fierce. Now we have two sisters facing each other. Will Yang burn her little sister? Or will Ruby blossom and surpass her older sister?
Song: Butter-Fly (English Fan Dub Ver.)
Artist: LeeandLie (Original Japanese Artist: Koji Wada)
My broken wings dream of the sky,
And they'll never be able to fly.
Only if we never try,
On my loo-o-o-ove!
If I could become just one thing,
I'd be a butterfly-free soaring.
I really miss you...
So finally I'm on my way.
Let's focus on the people we trust
And leave out all the doubt behind us.
So if you're ready...
Can we go? 'Cause there's no time to wa-aste.
I wanna kno-o-ow oh...
If the sky above is only for show.
I wanna kno-o-ow oh...
What tomorrow will bring so let's spread our wi-i-ings!
Maybe this world's an infinite dream,
And there is only hope living in me!
May it not fail me now!
We'll turn this thing around and bring back the lovin' somehow!
My broken wings dream of the sky,
and they'll never be able to fly!
Only if we never try,
On my lo-o-ove!
On my lo-o-o-ove!
Vivian announces, "Now we got our special semi-final round! The reason why it is special is because we have two sisters fighting each other. To my left-"
A lot of guys whistle and cheer for Yang. One guy shouts, "You go girl!"
While another cheers, "Y to the A to the N to the G! Yang rules and hope she goes out with me!"
"Settle down boys! To my left, we have the beauty yet fiery vixen with a passion for fire-types: Yang Xiao Long!"
The men continue to cheer very loud with Yang pointing at the audience with her left gun hand and winks at her new adoring fans.
"And to my right is her adorable, and feisty little rose bud of a sister: Ruby Rose!"
Ruby waves at everyone despite still being nervous with the crowd watching her as they cheer.
One of the girls cheer, "Good luck, Ruby Rose!"
One of the boys cheer, "You're cutter than your sister!"
Ruby blushes when the boy says that.
"Hey! Rubes!" Yang shouts from across the arena.
Ruby pays attention to what Yang is gonna say.
Yang gives a thumbs up with her right hand, "Let's give it all we got!"
Ruby gets excited, "Yeah! But don't be a sore loser like you always do!"
Some people laugh a little.
Yang caress the rim of her cowboy hat as she smiles, "You're on!"
The timer appears along with the portrait of the two with the score circles below the portraits on the screen.
Ruby pulls out her Pokeball and throws, "Go, Florence!"
Florence pops out among all with flower petals and is ready to fight.
Yang pulls out her Pokeball and throws, "Burn it up, Blazerina!"
Blazerina is surrounded by flames as she pops out of her Pokeball and does some chest thumping to display her dominance while also ready for battle.
"And begin!" The countdown starts and so does the battle.
Yang orders, "Use mach punch!"
Ruby orders, "Use protect!"
Blazerina comes in with a mach punch as Florence has his defenses up. She hits the force shield with an uppercut and sends Florence up in the air.
Yang then orders, "Volleyball time!"
Blazerina smiles as Florence comes down. She then tosses the shielded Swadloon into the air and treats the shield like a volleyball. Ruby lost three percent of her points and down at 97%.
"Poor Swadloon is being treated like a volleyball while inside its own protect! Yet for some reason, I want to play volleyball."
Florence is doing his best to stay in the fight despite being tossed around inside his own force shield.
"Now finish with a mach punch!"
Ruby says, "I've been waiting for that." She order Florence, "Use string shot combined with bug bite!"
As Blazerina charges in with a mach punch, Florence drops his shield and fires a sticky web at Blazerina's face. Then uses the string shot to ram right into Blazerina and uses bug bite on her head, which hurts a lot.
"What a move!" Vivian is impressed, "Letting yourself get tossed around to give your opponent a false sense of security then attack them when their guard down."
Yang lost five percent of her points and is down to 95%.
"Smooth move." Yang praises her sister's strategy, "But not good enough! Use flame wheel!"
Blazerina ignores the pain and starts doing a flame wheel with Florence still on her. She spins around the arena and tosses Florence.
"Quick! Use string shot combined with razor leaf!"
Florence uses his string shot on the screens above to swing in with razor leaf.
"Nice try. Use flamethrower!"
Blazerina uses flamethrower on the incoming razor leaves and burns them. But when the flamethrower is done, Florence disappeared. Blazerina look around yet gets hit in the back of the head.
"Incredible! Ruby's Swadloon just pulled a ninja act despite the flames to the face and manage to deal a blow."
Yang lost four percent of her points and is down to 91%.
She grits her teeth in frustration, "Cleaver girl. Blazerina! Use flame wheel before mach punch!"
Blazerina spins around and is set on fire again as she charges at Florence. Then follows it up with a fiery mach punch.
"Quick, use protect!" Ruby shouts.
But Florence is unable to move as he is too frighten to do anything as the flaming punch comes right at him. And so, Florence gets hit and set flying out to the edge of the arena.
Ruby looks at the direction where Florence landed with the dust in the way, "Oh no, Florence!"
The dust finally settles and shows Florence having spirals for eyes right before returning to his Pokeball.
The judges have red X's on the screens below along with a loud buzzer noise.
"Swadloon is unable to battle! The winner is Yang and her Monferno as they advance to the finals! Not to mention breaking the record for quickest battle."
The crowd cheers as Yang and Blazerina do some posses in celebrating their victory. They blow kisses, show off their muscles, and do some posses for the boys.
"Yang won by a knock out! Ruby's Swadloon may had a few surprises, but choked up at the end."
Back in the prep room, Ruby rubs Florence's Pokeball and to let him know that he did a good job.
She smiles, "You did a great job, Florence."
Weiss sits next to Ruby on her left, "That wasn't...bad per say, but you did your best." She tries to give her a compliment to help cheer the leader of Team RWBY up.
"Yeah." Ruby does appreciate the compliment, but it may not be enough.
Yet Weiss pulls something out of her T.I.S.S.O.B. and shows it to Ruby. "Would this help?" Weiss shows a chocolate chip cookie in front of Ruby.
Ruby gasps in excitement as she smiles, drools a little and have sparkles for eyes as she sees the cookie like Blake with fish. She takes the cookie, "Thank you!" and nibbles on it with little pink hearts over her head.
Weiss slowly shakes her head and smiles, "You are such a child."
"Oh yeah!" Yang has two victory signs before doing an enthusiastic victory pump, "I'm moving forward to the finals!" Then starts dancing as she sings, "Oh yeah! Uh-huh! I'm gonna win! Oh yeah! Woo!"
Weiss gives Yang a disapproval look while shaking her head slowly, "Yet Yang is a bigger child."
Yang over heard that as she gives a loud, "Hey!" in anger, "I heard that!"
A few moments of silence were followed right before the three laugh. They laughed for having such a fun time and enjoying a great opportunity they are given in this world. A chance to do something outside of battling criminals and monsters. Ruby gets to do an event like this for the first time despite she still has some stage fright. Weiss is glad to be involve in a public event with friends. Yang is happy for, well, everything. A sister, some new friends, and a chance to be a star. All that is missing is Blake joining in on the fun and who is busy getting a drink at the concession stand. Yeah, the moment would be better with Blake in it.
However, the laughter was interrupted when a man says, "Yang Xiao Long? It's time."
Yang waves to both Weiss and Yang, "Later!" and runs off.
The arena is filled as the crowd cheers for the final match of the Brazil City Pokemon Contest. Everyone is excited for the finally of the contest and in anticipation for the climatic finish. Ruby is sitting alongside Weiss and Blake and they both filled her in on what they did in the prep room and Blake chuckles.
"Too bad." Blake says with some giggling, "Wish I was there."
"Yeah." Ruby nodded, "Wish you were there."
"Oh and by the way." Blake pulls out two identical Team RWBY flags and gives them to Weiss and Ruby, "Let's cheer Yang on!" as she waves her flag.
Ruby stands up and waves her little red flag, "Gooooo, YANG!"
Weiss waves her flag and gives a monotone, "Yay." She's not feeling it.
"Is everyone ready for the finale!?" Vivian asks the crowd.
The crowd replies with a thunderous cheer.
"Alrighty then! Let's get the final match of the Pokemon Contest on the way!"
The crowd cheers as Ariel steps in on the right side of the arena.
"Let's hear it for our water-type beauty that is cool, graceful and bewitching to behold: Ariel!"
the crowd cheers for Ariel again.
Yang then appears on the left side of the arena with many young men giving her a louder cheer than everyone that cheered for Ariel along with some whistling.
"And give a welcome to our fiery beauty who is cool, fierce and bewitching to all the boys: Yang!"
Some of the men howl, whistle and give a loud applause as Yang does her gun pose at some of the men giving her a loud cheer.
Both coordinators have their Pokeballs out and ready for battling.
Ariel throws her Pokeball, "Come on out Starmie! Spooot-light!"
Starmie comes out with bubbles around it and spins with the bubbles on its tips. Looking like some sort of galaxy before landing on the ground.
Yang throws hers, "Let's burn it up, Blazerina!"
Blazerina pops out as fire engulfs around her before flexing her muscles to dispel the flames.
"Now let's begin!" The countdown timer starts and the match begins.
"Starmie, use rapid spin and swift together!"
Starmie uses rapid spin and swift and looks like a spinning shooting star as it charges at Blazerina.
"Look at that! Starmie is doing its shooting star move!"
Yang lost four percent of her points and is down to 96%.
"Jump and use flame wheel on those stars!"
Blazerina jumps up to avoid Starmie's attack. Then does a flame wheel on the stars that causes the fiery wheel to turn gold and outlines of colorful stars appear.
"Oh my! Yang's Monferno is all glittery and golden! Now that's style!"
Ariel lost seven points and is at 93%.
Blazerina then tries to charge at Starmie with her golden flame wheel.
"Dodge, quick!"
Starmie gets out of the way as Blazerina charged with her flame wheel.
"Now use hydro pump with rapid spin!"
Starmie is up in the air as it spins very fast with hydro pump. Forming a watery disc as it charges at Blazerina with the disc's edge.
"Who knew you can use water-type moves like that! Starmie has become some sort of water-based buzzsaw!"
Yang lost seven points and is down to 89%.
"Use mach punch on that water and hit it!"
Blazerina jumps to avoid the incoming water buzzsaw as she uses mach punch on the water. Yet while doing so, her mach punch glows blue with watery particles and four streams of water coming from it right before hitting Starmie right in the jewel...as in the jewel it has on its body not...you get what I mean, as Starmie is smacked down onto the ground.
"Wahoo! Yang and her Monferno just made a new move: water punch! And it is being done by a fire-type Pokemon! In all the Contests I've been in, I never see anything like that!"
Ariel's points dropped down to 81%.
"Quick, use recover!"
Starmie uses recovery and stands right back up.
"Now prepare for our ultimate combo!" Ariel says with excitement in her voice, "Starmie, prepare our starry wonder!"
Starmie jumps into the air as it uses all four moves as water spouts out along with swift stars as they all turn golden with hint of red, purple and pink as it looks like Starmie just became a galaxy made of water and stars. Many of the swift stars are in the colors of gold, red, purple, pink and blue with a lot of glitter.
"Now I'm completely star struck! Starmie has transformed itself into a galaxy! I can see why it is called starry wonder!"
Yang's points dropped to 69% when Starmie does that move.
Weiss says, "She's done for."
Ruby smiles, "I wouldn't count her out yet."
But Blake says with a confused look, "The logic of this world is really weird."
Ariel orders, "Attack!"
Starmie charges right at Blazerina with its ultimate attack.
But Yang isn't giving up as she orders, "Use flame wheel on that and use fury swipes combined with mach punch on Starmie!"
Blazerina uses flame wheel as she skims on the impressive disc while the flames turn blue with streaks of purple, gold, pink and lots of stars coming out of the flames as Blazerina gets closer to Starmie.
"Holy molly! Monferno is skimming across the galaxy as it gets closer to the center!"
Ariel gasps, "Oh no!"
Ariel's points dropped to 65%. As Blazerina gets closer to Starmie, her body glows bright blue as she is halfway.
"What's going on!?" Yang asks in surprise as she gets somewhat blinded.
Blake on the sidelines says while shielding her eyes along with everyone else, "Can it be...?"
Ruby is wearing sunglasses while drinking her soft drink. Weiss shield hers.
But the light fades as the pretty flame wheel is closer to Starmie, yet appears to be bigger. Once she made it to the center, the flame wheel stops and reveals that Blazerina has evolved into an Infernape. However, her colors are different. Her blue feet, inside of her ears and hands are red, her red fur is in some sort of pinkish coloring, the white fur is yellow in color, her golden parts are far more shinier than regular Infernapes and her flames are in the shades of blue. Yet instead of a combination of mach punch and fury swipes, her mach punch is replaced with close combat as she unleashes a flurry of rainbow-colored punches and chops.
Yang, stunned, goes, "What. The. Heck?"
Weiss pulls up her Megadex and learns that Blazerina has evolved into Infernape. However, the Infernape in the arena is different from the picture. She looks up at the arena and down at her Megadex a few times before saying, "That can't be right."
Ruby looks at Weiss Megadex and realizes the differences, "What is going on?"
Blake states, "I don't know but we should check things out once this is over."
Once Blazerina finishes, she punches Starmie right into the ground and time has run out. But everyone is in total awe at the appearance of Blazerina. She lands on the ground and is proud of what she did. Yet when she looks at her hands, she realizes that her appearance is different. Same with the rest of her. Blazerina confused and has no idea what is going on.
"What is going on?" Vivian ask, "I, uh...um...Yang's Moferno evolved but...I have no idea what is going on."
The cameraman just signals her to keep rolling.
"But we'll get to that later for the time being. As of now, the winner is: Yang Xiao Long!"
The crowd gives an awkward applause at first but accepted the changes and give a more enthusiastic applause.
Ruby asks Blake, "Hey, Blake?"
"Hm?" Blake looks at Ruby.
"Do you think our aura's might be responsible for that?"
"I...have no idea."
Afterwards, Vivian stands in front of Yang while holding the tray with the ribbon with Nurse Joy, Mr. Contesta and Mr. Sukizo are standing next to them. The ribbon has a golden, cherry blossom at the center with two pink stripes and dark pink between them. Blazerina is next to Yang and still tries to figure out what happened to her.
Vivian gives the ribbon to Yang, "Yang, for your victory, you have earned the Brazil City Ribbon."
Yang has obtained the Brazil City Ribbon.
Yang holds it up in the air and goes, "Yahoo!" in celebration of her victory.
The crowd applause for Yang's victory as the contest comes to a close. Once that is over, Team RWBY headed over to the Pokemon Center and phoned Dr. Acacia about Blazerina's new appearance. They explained everything and want to know more about it.
"Now that is interesting." Acacia says over the video phone and rubs his chin with his left hand. "I never seen anything like this nor heard of it. Although I never heard of a Pokemon changing its appearance when doing some combo in a Contest."
Yang says, "We're checking with Nurse Joy to see what is wrong."
Weiss says, "We'll give you details once Blazerina's examination is done."
Acacia smiles, "That's good to hear. Oh and Yang? Congratulations on winning your first contest."
Yang rubs the bottom of her nose with her right index finger and brags, "Yeah, well, it wasn't that hard."
Blake says to yang, "Don't get a big ego."
Ruby giggles.
"I'll await for your report when your ready. In the meantime, make sure you four will take care and let me know if something like this happens again."
Ruby says, "We'll do! Bye!"
So what did happen to Blazerina? Was it the result of a powerful combo that cause this change? Being close to Yang's aura? Or is there something else going on? Stay tune.
AN: Hey guys! Hope you enjoy this and staying alive in this rotten year of 2020. Really wish for a reboot. But we got to move on.
qazse: I know. But I only do so with fan made Pokemon. People can actually look up on Bulbapedia or Pokemon Wiki for the actual Pokemon.
keybladelight: "So it's a siblings battle hope you make the remnaniants and taiyang an d qrow react and who she shall chair?" Was that a mispelling on your phone or has some other meaning?
Until then, see you guys next time.
Additional: I'm uploading it early because of what I have to do on Sunday. I got to head somewhere away from all the chaos and it will take a while to get everything and head out in hope things will be better.
