Hey readers. Hope you liked the first chapter because this one will be dumb... What's that? You want to know what's going to happen? Well, you'll never know unless you read so, Nyeh.

ATTENTION – In Chapter 1 I WROTE THAT ""WHOEVER WINS THIS MATCH WILL GO ONTO THE SEMI-FINALS" I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT IM CHANGING IT TO QUARTER-FINALS. I'M TOO LAZY TO CHANGE THE FIRST CHAPTER AND IT WILL ALLOW FOR A LOT MORE BATTLES.

The Gold Cup

Chapter 1.5 - …In Between…Stuff

By: Omni Online

Misty gasped, an astonished look on her face. Slowly her mouth formed a smile as the stadium erupted in cheering. "Golduck has won it. Misty is moving to the next round." The announcer blared through the loudspeaker. "I did it." Misty whispered to herself, still shocked. "Golduck," Misty yelled happily "You're the best." Golduck stepped off Dragonair flashing a thumbs up. The trainer podiums were lowered; the enthusiastic cheers still not dying down. Misty called back Golduck into his blue poke'ball. She looked towards the sky. She could do it. She could get first place.

"Nice job, Misty." Richie said running up to Misty with Ash in tow. "Yah, I must admit, you had me scared for a minute there. You pulled through like always, though." He said with a smile. They were in the wide plaza in front of the main Stadium. Misty chuckled "How did Max do?" She asked as they started walking towards the center stadium. Ash frowned "Yah, he got totally destroyed by some trainer named Kamon. Funny thing, he didn't take it too badly at all. He said he had the time of his life." Ash said his expression quickly brightening. "Well I guess the first time in the Indigo Championships is different." Misty said. "After all he did fight in 7 matches. That is a lot considering he's still new to battling."

The group made their way inside the seated area of the main stadium, flashing their trainer passes to the ticket booth worker. "Everyone's already waiting for us." Richie said leading the way to the seating area. "Section 34: Row 8: Seats 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Hmm…" Richie said reading from the set of tickets in his hands "Pretty good seats. I guess that was Professor Oak's doing." He said bringing a smile to everyone's face.

"Hey everybody!" Misty shouted running down the last few concrete steps. She received multiple greetings from her friends. "Nice battle, Misty. You did well." Brock said, putting his hand over his cell phone. One of his many girlfriends was undoubtedly on the other end. "Yah you battled really well." Max chimed in. Misty smiled sympathetically "Sorry about your battle." Max merely waved his hand "Don't sweat it. Like I said, I've been having a great time." He said adjusting his glasses. "At least you made it in time for May's battle." Max gave a wry smile. "I figured she'd quit battling a long time ago. Who would have thought she'd stick with it?"

The five trainers quickly averted their attention towards the field where a battle was about to take place.

"For those of you just joining us," a female announcer said over the loudspeakers, "May and Asunta will be battling for a spot in the Quarter-Finals."

The stadium erupted in cheering. Asunta was the crowd's favorite. She gained her popularity by placing in First in the last Indigo Championship Tournament. 'Tough break,' Misty thought watching May walk towards her green podium.

Wow…Tough break for you guys…I've decided to start the battle next chapter so I can make a good transition to May… You know so I can do the same thing with the first chapter only with May… You get it…OH JUST READ THE NEXT CHAPTER grumbles Sorry about that you "Loyal Fans" :D .God… No action PLUS a short chappie. I should be killed…to death.
