The next day, Misty's last guest arrived. He came early in the morning. Ash, who couldn't sleep was the only one awake. He opened the door, wondering who it could be. When he opened the door, he saw Jaden, one of the finalists from the contest. Except, that wasn't his real name. His real name was… Rudy, from Triviota Island!

Author's note: Sorry for not updating. Here's chapter seven. See how you like it:

" What are you doing here!" Ash asked. "Misty invited me to stay here if I needed to since I knew my friend would kick me out of his apartment," said Rudy.

" How did you know that would happen?" Ash asked suspiciously.

" That's for me to know and for you to never find out," Rudy answered.

" Why did you lie about your name?" Ash asked. "To avoid fans," Rudy said. "Misty probably needs to avoid them too. " So you disguised how you looked too?" Ash said. "Of course," Rudy answered. He set down his sleeping bag on the floor. Misty'll probably give me a room in the morning if she has one," he said, and fell asleep in a few moments.

-------------------------------------------In the Morning----------------------------------------------

(9:05 am) May's radio alarm clock started ringing, and then turned to the news. "Good morning Cerulean City1 I'm Double C in the morning with the latest happenings. As you all know, the pokemon contest is supposed to take place today. But due to destruction of the Contest Hall, it will be put off until further notice. Now lets check the weather with- "WHAT!" May got out of bed as fast as lightning and practically jumped into her clothes. She used the bathroom and was out in two minutes, passing a very surprised Drew. She didn't even stop for breakfast, Brock's waffled or even notice the new guest Rudy. She ran outside and passed Brendan, Ash, and Wally like they weren't even there. She ran right to the Contest Hall. Her mouth hung open in shock. Half the building looked like it exploded, and the half that still remaining was badly burned.

May walked closer and asked a man " What happened here?"

" There was an explosion here last night. The fire that was here afterwards burned the rest of the building. If it wasn't for this old man here, it would have been totally destroyed," he said pointing to an old man that was badly hurt who was in an ambulance. Then it drove away. " He could die," the man said sadly, and walked away from May. She saw many builders, some interviewers, some random people, all three of the judges (yes Nurse Joy too), and Viviane.

' This is absolutely devastating,' May thought. Then aloud she said, " This is too horrible for words, especially about that man." " I'll say," said a voice next to her. She turned around and saw Brendan. " We should go back to the gym ant tell everyone else what happened," he said. May agreed and they walked off.

" Ha ha ha!" Jessie laughed evilly. "Everything is going according to plan. The contest hall is ruined, which gives me just enough time to impersonate one of the girl twerps, and take their place in the contest, just like in last years Grand Festival."

" But Jessie what if that doesn't work like last time? Or what if we get caught? Or what if…"

" Its always what ifs with you. You have to admit, it is a great plan," Jessie said.

" Yeah Jimmy, this is great," Meowth said.

" What about that man. What if he dies? What then?" James questioned.

" I don't care about him. All I want is fame." Jessie said. " And he probably won't die anyway," she added.

" Come on Jimmy, lighten up," Meowth said.

"Yeah James, lets do t!" Jessie urged.

" Well, okay, I'll help," James agreed. And they all laughed evilly.

A/N: so does the man die? Who does Jessie want to impersonate? What will happen? Find out in the next chapter. Please review. I love seeing reviews. They make my days a little brighter.
