Yes, I'm here with the beginning of the tournament! Now...we all met Madeline last time right? Well here we are!!
Ha,ha! Bunnychu my friend, your sort of right about the Gary/Serena thing but it may have some twists!! I mean, Lance may have a come back if ya know what I mean. But that's just an idea.
Alittle note here, I'm not certain of ever pokemon's attacks but if I know what kinds of attacks they have if their a certain type so bare with me and don't flame me for that.
*=means not Serena's POV
**=means Serena's POV
Tournament Time!
*~*Serena's POV*~*
I slept well. Very well actually. More well than I did ever since Rini was kidnapped.
I awoke to find the last of my remaining pokemon besides Pichu, go inside it's pokeball. I looked over to my right and saw Pichu already awake and looking out the window. Ready to take on the day!
"Hey little one..."
Pichu looked at me with the gleam in his eyes. "Pichu Pi! (You're finally awake!)"
I got up to my knees. "Was I snoring?" I just had to know.
The Pichu nodded and I sweat dropped. Raye did say something on how I should get that under control. "Typical."
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
"Serena! Serena, are you awake already?!" It was Max. "The match-ups have been set and I wanna show ya! And a rule has been changed too! "
I swear that little boy can get annoying. But a rule being changed? "Sure, it's open!"
The little boy came in and held his (what the heck was that thing his parents gave to him before he left? If you watched the ADVANCED EPs., you should know. But I'll call it a little piece of technology) little piece of computer technology in his hands. "Look!"
I swung my head over his shoulder and my mouth let out a little EEP at the face. IT was that little girl from yesterday....Madeline Shields, my ex-boyfriend's brother. D'oh!
"Oh man..." I scratched my head. "She's really going to get her revenge on me this time."
"But you'll have no problem since all her pokemon are plant types!"
"Huh? Really?"
He nodded and pointed his little finger at her profile. "Look, see that little leaf sign? It only shows up when the trainer registers with 1 team of a single type pokemon such as Madeline. You'll have a greater advantage since you have Ninetales and Charizard with you!"
"That's cool. But hey, what's the new rule?"
"Oh yeah! " His face was a big grin but then turned out to be a sad one. "That getting a 1 minute shock thing, they're adding onto it!"
"WHAT?!" "What do you mean? Are they adding another minute?"
"No, not that. It when your pokemon receives an attack onto it, the trainer gets a surge of static electricity! That means, by the end of the match, one of you will be barbequed!"
Eh heh heh heh, that's fine but now I'll show that little squirt who's boss.
(Eros: Run away! Vile Serena!)

"What an expected surprise!"
Yes, indeed. Why are the girls here?!
Lita, Mina, Raye, and Ami all stood with Professor Oak, my aunt, Gary, Ash and May when I finally arrived with Pichu and Max. "Uh....what are you guys doing here?"
"Serena, honey! " Auntie walked up to me in her excited but awkward fashion. "You know we wouldn't miss out on family members!"
"Yeah, I told you mom went to the silver conference where I competed," Ash mentioned. "Remember? She showed you pictures—"
"Of his gruesome defeated, " joked Lita.
"That was the 2nd round of the championship!!!"
"Yeah, same thing. Ya still lost anyway, Alf," Max added.
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET MY NAME RIGHT?!"

*Having Wobbuffett and Arbok help set up the lucky badge stand was getting now where fast.
Jesse carried her own box when she looked around on where her other fellow Team Rocket members are at. "WHERE ARE THEY?!"
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Oddly and surely expected enough, they were sitting in their seats at the packed tournament nearly in the front row as Meowth looked into the guide book. "Well whatta ya know?!"
"What what? Is that gorgeous vision going first?" wondered James.
"Sure enough. And it's against a little twerp named Madeline who specializes in plant type pokemon. I doubt that she'll even win one round cuz 2 of Serena's pokemon is fire types."
"Ooh! And Fire has the bigger advantage against Plants?"
"Dat's right!..." the cat laid the book down and scratched his head. "I'm thinkin' that we were suppose ta do somethin' right about now...
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
*"Here, here, here they are!"
A herd of Magic Tournament fans were already hoarding around the Magic badge stand holding their money out wanting these "lucky badges"
"Hey! I need more!"
"Cha-vok!(We're hurry!)" said the Arbok as he was painting James' remaining bottle caps and Wobbuffett was collecting them.
Looks like today was going to be a busy day....

"Hello and welcome to Tulip Town's 45th Annual Wizard and Witch Tournament!"
The crowd was cheering and the animosity was high. Good enough for Serena.
"I am your announcer for this year, Mr. Kecup(pronounced Ke-cup like when you say Key) and since for those of you are new to this tournament, I'll explain the rules! It's basically simple like a regular pokemon tournaments but the trainer uses their magic to asses they're pokemon in anyway natural for their team to win. But there are your basic rules, if anyone of the pokemon gets hit in any chance of the game, the trainer will receive a short electric shock followed by when there is a winner pronounced the trainer who didn't win will receive a 1 minute shock warning so he/she won't ever do that dumb move ever again!"
"WHAT?!"
Ash, Gary, May, Max, Pikachu and Pichu all gasped at that new rule. Well, not Max since he knew about it first.
"Who decided to put this new rule in?" demanded Gary.
"It was the tournament creators, duh," Max crossed his arms as if Gary just found out about the tournament just now. "The tournament creators who just happen to be great mages think that the feeling of static due to a wrong move would make the Witch or Wizard trainer learn from their mistakes and not to make the same move again."
"Well I call that bogus!"
"yeah, I'm with ya there."
"Pichu Pichu Pi Pichu (Gee, I hope Serena can handle it.)"
"Pika Pi Pikachu Pika (I'm sure she can.)"
"Now let's present our first match up for the beginning of the tournament!"
Crowd cheers, yada yada yada.
"Introducing all the way from Yernia (I made up the town Serena's from since she and Darien live in the same city) City, Madeline Shields!"
**From behind the gates, I saw the little squirt holding onto her teddy bear as she walked out from her side of the field and started to jump up and down at the crowd. Bringing a piece of reassurance before you get barbequed kid...right.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
*Ami chuckled nervously, "You think bringing a teddy bear to the field was necessary?"
"She probably feels confident with it," Prof. Oak replied.
"Now that's what I call courage," Delia added on.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Her opponent, she too is from Yernia City, Serena Tskino!!"
** I came out of the gates as when I walked from out the shadows pass my friends who were sitting at my half of the sidelines, it felt like the crowd cheered for me the most. Not because some may have known that I'm Neo-Queen Serenity but ...I don't know. I just have this strange feeling they really like me even though none of them haven't seen my skills yet.
"This will be a 5 on 5 pokemon battle!" announced the referee who raised his white flag up.
"Now let's see who will get the chance to go first!"
The two girls looked at the big board with their pictures on it and saw their pictures light up as if they were blinking. The picture of Madeline glowed which meant she would be the one to go first.
"Alright! I'll be going first then!" Madeline told me as she pointed her teddy at me.
"Trainers, levitate!"
"LEVITATE?"
The two girls closed their eyes and held their hands upwards which they both casted in unison, "LEVIATION!"
They both started flying at least up to the top of the stadium as the crowd looked in awe.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Why do they have to be up in the air like that?" asked Delia. "I thought they were supposed to fight on the ground?"
"Well, since the trainers are necessary for the battle, they have to move out the way giving their pokemon a whole arena to battle," Prof. Oak informed her.
"But how are they going to receive their shocks when they're up in the air, Professor?" asked Mina.
"Just look," he pointed.
They all looked when a flying chain with a leg buckle flew up to them and captured their ankles ready for shocking...ness...

Brock, who Serena already knows, already came there when he had to run an errand in Pewter City had joined them already at the sidelines.
"So this is the little sister of her ex-boyfriend?" he wanted to clarify it with Ash.
"Beats me," he shrugged. "That's what Serena said."
"If she's supposed to be a true and powerful trainer, " Max stood up with his arms crossed still. "Why is she carrying that dumb teddy bear around?"
"I see nothing wrong in that, " May protested to him. "Besides, you didn't let go of your G.I Joe doll until 1 year ago."
"IT WAS A ANTIQUE ACTION FIGURE!"
"First Match of the Wizard and Witch Tournament will start with Madeline Shields vs. Serena Tskino will begin!" The referee waved his white flag down as a symbol that the tournament has started.
"Very well!" Madeline reached into her bag and took out her first pokemon . "Come out!" She threw the pokeball. "Sunflora!"
The pokeball opened and out appeared the plant pokemon Sunflora. "Sunflora!(hi!)"
"Sunflora, eh? I hope Gary's getting my pokedex with all this info..."
"And Madeline takes out her first pokemon, Sunflora! What will Serena choose for her first pokemon?"
Serena reached into her side bag for the perfect one..."Come on out, Ninetales!"
And out came the pokemon Ninetales. "Ninetales! Ninetales! (I'm honored to be first!)"
"Oh wow! Your cousin has great tastes in pokemon, Ash!" Brock commented as he gleamed over at her pretty Ninetales.
"Don't get any ideas, Brock," Ash told him as he scooted over.
"Yeah, she's not that kind of girl," Gary finished.
"Sunflora, Razor Leaf!"
"Sunflora!(right!)"
The plant pokemon ran and sent a gush of wind with leaves directly at Ninetales as it was ready to attack.
"Ninetales, dodge it!"
Up jumped the Ninetales as the leaves disappeared.
"Flamethrower, GO!"
"Nine! Nine-tales!" out from the creatures mouth spewed the burst of fire as the scared Sunflora stood there.
