Episode 131: Kairi's First Tournament Part 2
Where we last left off, Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Togepi, the Pichu, and the Alolan nine continued onwards to Olivine City for Sora's next Gym battle; Kairi had caught herself a female Magby along the way.
Upon making a stop to the town's Pokémon Center they learned of an all-girl's Pokémon competition called the Poké Maiden Tournament. Kairi was reluctant about entering it at first because Togepi being a baby and she has never entered a Pokémon tournament before. After some convincing, Kairi has decided to enter the battle and she knew she had to have Togepi battle when need shall come.
Kairi had entered the tournament and won every battle she had entered. She was placed in the corner at times, but she remembered all the times Sora was in those situtations since his Gym battles and the Indigo Plateau.
Now Kairi has entered the semi-finals of the Poké Maiden Tournament and she was up against a girl named Aoi; she has long black hair and she wore a pink kimono with white strawberries on it. She was going on after Crimson who has easily beaten her opponent with her Dragonair.
"The semi-finals of the Poké Maiden Tournament shall continue on with Kairi from Pallet Town being up against Aoi from Ecruteak City!" The announcer announced. Kairi had entered the stadium along with Sora, Pikachu, and the Pichu. Aoi had entered the battlefield as well.
"I know you can do this, Kairi. I believe in you," Sora said. That made Kairi smile hearing her boyfriend say that.
"Thank you, Sora. I dedicated all the other battles to you," Kairi said. That made Sora happy to hear that.
"Go get 'em," Sora said.
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
"Thanks! I will!" Kairi said.
Kairi got into position for battle the same for Aoi. Kairi could tell how tough her opponent is judging how far she came despite that innocent appearance of hers.
"This girl is very good," Aoi said in her thoughts. "She has to be if she's made it this far. I have to take her out if I'm going to have my battle with Crimson." The referee steps in and raises both flags.
"Begin the battle!" The referee raises the flags. Aoi chose her first Pokéball and threw it.
"Go forth, Scizor!" Aoi called out. The Pokéball opens and lets out a Scizor; this one has a large abdomen. Kairi took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Go Magy!" Kairi called out as Magby had entered the battle.
"Kairi starts things up with her Magby while Aoi has sent out Scizor! Kairi has really done her homework when it comes to Types, but will it be enough?" The announcer asked.
"Scizor! Steel Wing, let's go!" Aoi ordered. Scizor flew towards Magby with its wings metalized.
"Magby! Dodge and use Ember!" Kairi called out. Magby moves out of the way and fires Ember right at Scizor.
"Use Swords Dance!" Aoi ordered. Scizor moved its pincers around as they were swords and it cuts through Ember. "Now use Bullet Punch!" Scizor darted like a rocket and landed a series of punches on Magby.
"Magby's Ember has been cancelled out with Swords Dance and followed by a barrage of Bullet Punch! Kairi will have to think of something fast!" The announcer announced.
"Fire Punch!" Kairi ordered. Magby jumped foward and gave Scizor a fiery punch on the side.
"Double Team!" Aoi ordered. Scizor made several images of itself. "Bullet Punch!" Scizor and the clones launched their attacks on Magby and she goes flying in the air.
Scizor and the copies quickly got the better of her as Magby was having a hard time trying to tell the real one from the fakes.
"Scizor and the copies are really giving Magby a run for its money! Kairi needs to think of something fast or else they'll be putting out its fire!" The announcer announced. Kairi thought of what to do.
"Magby! Focus and you can find the real Scizor! And fire Ember when you find her!" Kairi called out. Magby nodded and shut her eyes. She focuses on finding the real Scizor. They all circle around Magby and when she found the real Scizor, she fired Ember hitting her with a strong Ember. All the copies all disappear. "Now use Fire Punch!" Magby lands a powerful Fire Punch on Scizor knocking her out. The referee raises the green flag.
"Scizor is unable to battle! Magby wins!" The referee announced.
"Magby has come out on top and Kairi has once again took an early lead! Aoi will have to think fast if she wants to stay in this tournament!" The announcer announced. Aoi calls back her Scizor.
"Very impressive, Kairi. But my next one won't be so easy!" Aoi said taking out another Pokéball and threw it. "Go for it, Chinchou!" The Pokéball opens and reveals a blue Pokémon that resembles a small deep-sea fish with an oval-shaped body, two small fin-like arms, a pair of stubby legs, and two long antennas tipped with a yellow bulb-shaped sac. The Pokémon also also has two yellow eyes, each with a proton-shaped pupil. Sora took out his Pokédex to get information on this Pokémon.
Chinchou, the Angler Pokémon
Type: Water/Electric
Chinchou lets loose positive and negative electrical charges from its two antennas to make its prey faint. This Pokémon flashes its electric lights to exchange signals with others.
"A Water Type and an Electric Type. That's gotta be a tough combo to handle," Sora said putting his Pokédex away. "I know you can do it, Kairi."
"Aoi has sent out her Chinchou! This Pokémon really has an advantage when it comes to Type this time! I wonder how Kairi will respond to this?" The announcer announced. Kairi pulls out Magby's Pokéball and calls her back.
"Better go with this," Kairi said taking out her next Pokéball. "Take the stage, Jigglypuff!" The Pokéball opens and lets out Jigglypuff.
"And Kairi has sent out her Jigglypuff to deal with Chinchou!" The announcer announced.
"Jigglypuff! Start up with Sing!" Kairi ordered. Jigglypuff sang her song and multicolored music notes surrounds Chinchou very quickly. Aoi wasn't going to have that.
"Chinchou! Dodge it! Use your antennae to jump!" Aoi jumped out of the way before the music notes could hit Chinchou. Kairi wasn't expecting that. "Now use Ion Deluge!" Chinchou's body becomes surrounded in blue static electricity that illuminates the battlefield. "Now use Take Down!" Chinchou charges towards Jigglypuff with static electricity emitting from its body.
"Using Ion Deluge has turned that Take Down into an Electric Type attack and it's giving Jigglypuff a real hard time! Jigglypuff won't be able to sing its way out of this!" The announcer announced.
"Okay Kairi. Think. You need to think of something fast. Can't use Sing again because Chinchou will only dodge it again. Unless you get her in a corner," Kairi said in her thoughts. Kairi spoke out loud, "Jigglypuff! Pound!" Jigglypuff landed a pound on Chinchou. "Now use Double Slap!" Jigglypuff slaps Chinchou right across the face. Each attack only sent Chinchou further back. "Rollout!" Jigglypuff rolled into a ball and rammed into the deep sea fish Pokémon. Kairi has gotten Chinchou cornered now; but she knew it wouldn't keep Chinchou there for long, so he had to act fast. "Now use Sing!" Jigglypuff sang her song again as multicolored music notes had hit Chinchou making her fall asleep.
"Incredible! Jigglypuff has given Chinchou a trip to snoozeville! I hope Aoi has a new trick up her sleeve!" The announcer announced.
"Jigglypuff! Rollout once again!" Kairi called out. Jigglypuff rolled right into the sleeping Chinchou and she hit the wall pretty hard. Chinchou was definitely knocked out. The referee raises the green flag.
"Chinchou is unable to battle! Jigglypuff wins!" The referee announced.
"And that makes two Pokémon Aoi had lost to Kairi and her Pokémon! Can Aoi make a comeback before Kairi can win the battle? Or will Kairi be moving on? I am at the edge of my seat!" The announcer announced. Aoi calls back Chinchou. And she takes out a Moon Ball.
"I can't believe it! She took out two of my heavy hitting Pokémon! But she won't take this one down! Go forth, Clefable!" The Moon Ball opens and reveals Clefable.
"Aoi has sent out her Clefable to deal with Kairi! And judging how this looks, I doubt her cute little Jigglypuff is going to make a dent on this one!" The announcer announced.
"Don't judge a book by the cover," Kairi said. "Jigglypuff! Use Rollout again!" Jigglypuff rolls right towards Clefable.
"Oh no you don't! Clefable! Stop that Jigglypuff with your Ice Punch!" Aoi ordered. Clefable lands an icy punch on Jigglypuff freezing her in the process. "Now fire Hyper Beam!" Clefable fires Hyper Beam right at Jigglypuff and sending right into a wall. Sora, Pikachu, and the Pichu all gasped in shock. The Alolan nine were all shocked to see that. Jigglypuff had been knocked out. The referee raises the red flag.
"Jigglypuff is unable to battle! Clefable wins!" The referee announced.
"Aoi has finally taken down one of Kairi's Pokémon! I guess she's been saving that Clefable for last!" The announcer announced. Kairi calls back her Jigglypuff.
"It's okay, Jigglypuff. You should rest up. She takes out another Pokéball and threw it. "Go for it, Magby!" The Pokéball opens and lets out Magby.
"Looks like Magby is sent back out to battle with Clefable! I would have to say it's a good thing for Kairi that Aoi's Clefable won't be able to make a next attack after using Hyper Beam!" The announcer announced.
"Magby! Incinerate!" Kairi ordered. Magby fired the beam of red, orange, yellow, and black fire right towards Clefable and the fairy Pokémon takes the hit.
"Clefable has taken a pretty bad hit from Magby's Incinerate! But, it doesn't look like it's enough to bring this bigger Pokémon down!" The announcer announced.
"I don't think Magby can take Clefable down completely, but she can try to tire Clefable out before Magby gets knocked out," Kairi said in her thoughts.
"Clefable! Get that Magby! Ice Punch!" Aoi ordered. Clefable's fist emits ice and heads towards Magby.
"Magby! Fire Punch!" Kairi ordered. Magby throws a Fire Punch and the two punch attacks collides with each other. Both Pokémon were locked in the punches; not one was backing off.
"This match is starting to heat up as Ice Punch and Fire Punch are colliding! Magby's Fire Punch is holding its own with Clefable's Ice Punch! Not one of them is backing away!" The announcer announced.
"That Magby is tougher than I thought," Aoi said in her thoughts. "The same can be said to this girl. But, it doesn't mean she's going to win!"
"Magby! Hit Clefable with Ember!" Kairi ordered. Magby fired Ember right on Clefable's side. "Again!" Magby did again, but this time, on the front.
"Clefable! Hyper Beam!" Aoi ordered.
"Smokescreen!" Kairi ordered. Magby shot a cloud of smoke into Clefable's face making it difficult for Clefable to attack.
"Magby's Smokescreen is really giving Clefable a real hard time to see! It looks like Kairi has Aoi on the ropes now!" The announcer announced.
"I don't think so! Clefable! Ice Punch!" Aoi ordered. Despite not being able to see, Clefable swung around and managed to hit Magby hard sending her flying into a wall. Magby slides down the wall knocked out from that attack. The referee raises the red flag.
"Magby is unable to battle! Clefable wins!" The referee announced.
"It could be anyone's battle now! Aoi and Kairi has one Pokémon left to use! What might Kairi have up her sleeve?" The announcer asked. Kairi took out her Pokéball and threw it.
"Go for it, Raichu!" Kairi said. The Pokéball opens and Raichu's cheeks emits electricity upon entry.
"Kairi's final Pokémon is her Raichu! And this Raichu is raring to go!" The announcer announced.
"Even though she already took out Jigglypuff and Magby, Clefable is still having a hard time seeing because of Smokescreen. And she tired her out like I knew she would," Kairi said in her thoughts.
"So she saved that powerhouse for last. That Raichu is going down just like the others!" Aoi said in her thoughts.
"Raichu! Quick Attack!" Kairi ordered. Raichu ran towards Clefable and struck her on the sides. "Now use Thunderbolt!" Raichu launches Thunderbolt shocking Clefable paralyzing her in the process.
"Clefable! Ice Punch again!" Aoi ordered. Clefable tries to land a hit on the mouse Pokémon, but she misses him.
"Thunder Punch!" Kairi ordered. Raichu lands a Thunder Punch in the stomach. "Now use Seismic Toss!" Raichu manages to grab Clefable despite her being larger than he is and gives her a rolling flip. Clefable falls to the ground with Raichu on top. Clefable goes for a slam on the ground as Clefable was down and out. The referee raises the green flag.
"Clefable is unable to battle! Raichu wins! The winner of the battle is Kairi!" The referee announced.
"And Kairi moves right on to the finals!" The announcer announced. So many of the boys who rooted for Kairi all cheered for her. They all had banners with her name on her mugshot in a pink heart. They all wore bandanas with her mugshot on the center.
"Okay boys! Who do we worship?!" One of the boys shouted.
"KAIRI!" All the other boys roared.
"Who do we honor?!" The same boy shouted.
"KAIRI!" All the other boys roared.
"Who do we love?!" The same boy shouted.
"KAIRI!" All the other boys roared
"And who do we want to be this year's Poké Maiden Tournament champion?!" The same boy shouted.
"KAIRI! KAIRI! KAIRI! KAIRI! KAIRI!" All the boys roared at the top of their lungs.
The Alolan nine were in range listening to the cheering and roaring of Kairi's newly formed fanclub.
"It's official. Kairi's fanclub has been born," Hapu said.
"Yeah," Mina said.
"Won't they be disappointed if they know Kairi is already spoken for?" Mallow asked.
"They would. But, it won't stop them from daydreaming about it," Illima said.
"Must be nice to have such a nice pipe dream," Kiawe said.
"Sure does," Lana said.
"I'm just amazed by how fast they made those banners and everything else with Kairi's face all over 'em," Sophocles said.
"You're not the only one, Sophocles," Acerola said.
"It wouldn't surprise me how many girls did the same thing for Sora," Lillie sighed.
"Yeah," Mina said.
"It's a good thing Kairi is doing the participating otherwise she would give you the evil eye just for saying that," Acerola said as she laughed.
"Acerola!" Lillie and the rest chided her.
"I'm just kidding. Normally Sora would joke about that," Acerola said.
"I don't think he would. Even he has a limit about joking around and what kind of jokes; mostly. And we all seen how serious he can at certain situations," Kiawe said.
"True," Illima agreed. "Sora tends to be laid back at times, but he has proven he can be focused when dealing with Ultra Beasts or with the likes of Team Rocket and Pokémon hunters." The rest of the Alolan nine all agreed with the Normal Type Pokémon trainer.
Sora, Kairi, and the Pokémon all rested up while the next battle was underway. The tournament was down to four remaining and Crimson is among them along with Kairi and two other girls.
The time has come for the finals of the Poké Maiden Pokémon Tournament as the four remaining finalists awaited to hear who will be battling who.
"I must say, I am mighty proud and impressed by your efforts. Each of you have worked hard in this tournament and now, the time has come to determine if your hard work will pay off," the forewoman said. "And I must say, I had my doubts about a few of you; but, I'm glad to be proven wrong. The computer shall decide who you'll be up against." The computer has pinned Crimson against a girl named Abbie and that battle will be on first. And Kairi will be up against a girl named Christy on the next. Abbie has orange hair and she wears glasses and a pink dress. Christy has dark blonde hair and she wore a sleeveless top and blue jean pants. "Alright, Crimson and Abbie will be up first. Christy and Kairi will be next."
"It doesn't matter who wins the second round because I already feel sorry for the two of you," Crimson said smugly before she laughs.
"She's right about one thing; it don't matter who wins, because I only care if one of us beats her," Christy said.
"Then I wish you luck," Kairi said.
"Thanks. You too. Just don't go easy on me," Christy said.
"And don't you go easy on me either," Kairi said. Both girls shook hands for the good luck.
Crimson had won over Abbie and the crowd roared for her victory.
"Naturally, I knew I would win," Crimson said smugly. She walked by Kairi with Sora and the mouse Pokémon with her. Crimson turns to look at her. She said in her thoughts, "She couldn't be this good. I better watch and see how good this girl is."
"And here we are to the finals of the Poké Maiden Tournament! Christy from Pewter City is up against Kairi from Pallet Town! Only one of these two will be moving onto the final round against Crimson! Just who will it be? Well, there is only one way to find out!" The announcer announced.
"This is it. The winner if this battle is going to move on to the final round," Sora said.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
The computer has chosen Christy to make the first choice. The referee raises both flags and instructs Kairi and Christy, "Trainers! choose your Pokémon and come out battling!" Christy took out her first Pokéball and threw it.
"Go for it, Octillery!" Christy shouted. The Pokéball opens and lets out her Octillery. Christy's Octillery has small suction cups. Kairi takes out her own Pokéball and threw it.
"Go Elekid!" Kairi called out. The Pokéball opens and Elekid spins her arms around upon entry.
Christy has chosen Octillery and Kairi has sent out her Elekid to dish it out! Elekid has the advantage in this battle it would seem! But, that Octillery is no slouch when it comes to battling!" The announcer announced. Kairi didn't doubt that for a second; she knew for certain how strong Octillery looked.
"Come on, Kairi! You can take it down! I know you can!" Sora cheered for her.
"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu also cheered.
"Pichu, Pi!" The Spiky-eared Pichu added.
"Pichu!" The Shiny Pichu added.
Kairi was lucky to have a supportive boyfriend like Sora and good Pokémon friends like his Pikachu and his adobtive little brothers. She could also hear the cheers of the Alolan nine as well. Kairi got into position for battle.
"Elekid! Thunder Shock!" Kairi called out. Elekid kept swinging her arms as electricity emits from her body and heads towards the octopus Pokémon.
"Octillery! Dodge and fire Ice Beam!" Christy ordered. Octillery jumps out of the way and fires the beam of ice right at the minute electric Pokémon.
"Elekid! Dodge and use Quick Attack!" Kairi called out. Elekid ran across the battlefield as Ice Beam had missed its mark. Elekid raced towards Octillery and rammed into it. "Now use Thunder Punch!" Elekid threw an electrified punch on Octillery.
"Octillery! Fire your Octazooka!" Christy ordered. Octillery's eyes widen and it fires a large and powerful beam of ink from its mouth at Elekid. The attack hits Elekid covering her body with black ink.
Octillery has fired its signature attack right at Elekid covering its entire body with ink! And I may add, extremly thick ink!" The announcer announced.
Elekid tries to wipe off the ink, but there was just too much and the ink was just too thick to take off.
"Elekid! Hang in there!" Kairi called out.
"Good work, Octillery! Now fire Psybeam!" Christy ordered. Octillery fired Psybeam and it hits Elekid pretty hard.
"Judging how this battle is going, Octillery has Elekid on the ropes! It looks like Type advantage isn't going to cut it with Christy's Octillery!" The announcer announced.
"That Octillery is pretty tough. Sora has been in tighter situations than this. Elekid can't see a thing with all that ink in her face. But, she can hear," Kairi said in her thoughts.
"Move in with Wring Out!" Christy ordered.
"Elekid! Listen for Ocillery's movements!" Kairi called out. Elekid nodded and listened to the light sounds Octillery's suction cups were making. The octopus Pokémon sent her tentacles to grab Elekid, but she lands a Thunder Punch on Octillery.
"It looks like the tables are starting to turn on Octillery! Elekid has landed a Thunder Punch right in the face! Christy probably isn't happy about having her ink the face stragedy sunk!" The announcer announced.
"Not too bad. Most of my opponents would have just rushed right in to attack. She must have figured her way around it. I wonder how long that will last. Octillery! Fire Bubble Beam!" Octillery fires Bubble Beam to hit Elekid.
"Use your arms to block that Bubble Beam! Swing them around!" Kairi called out. Elekid did exactly that, but she didn't use any electricity. All of the bubbles had popped making contact with her hands. The water from the popped bubbles has splashed onto Elekid's face; just as Kairi planned. Kairi is using the water to wash off the ink. Sora smiled as he knew what she was doing.
"Atta girl, Kairi. Keep going at it," Sora said in his thoughts.
Octillery kept firing Bubble Beam and Elekid kept swinging her arms and the water only got Elekid even wetter and Christy winced as she realized what that means.
"Crap! Water conducts electricity! She planned to use my own attack against me!" Christy exclaimed in her mind. "Octillery! Cease fire!"
"Elekid! Thunder Shock!" Kairi ordered. Elekid used Thunder Shock before Octillery could stop. Octillery felt electricity course through her body and falls to the ground sparkling. Octillery was down and out. The referee raises the green flag.
"Octillery is unable to battle! Elekid wins!" The referee announced.
"Kairi has taken down Octillery by using Thunder Shock being carried by Octillery's Bubble Beam! Christy needs to think fast if she wants to make it to the final round!" The announcer announced.
"I have to admit, Kairi; you really are good. And your last opponents were no pushovers themselves," Christy complemented calling back her Octillery. "Let's see how well you do well against my next one." Christy took out her next Pokéball. "Go for it, Ivysaur!" The Pokéball opens and lets out an Ivysaur; its color is light green and the spots are dark green. And the flower on the bulb is yellow. Stars swirls around Ivysaur upon entry.
"Christy's second Pokémon is her Ivysaur! And it's in a different Shiny color!" The announcer announced.
"Another Shiny Pokémon. I guess having Shiny Pokémon must be in all the range these days," Kairi said her thoughts.
"My Ivysaur is strong enough to take down any Pokémon you can throw at me! C'mon! Show me what you've got!' Christy said in her thoughts. Kairi calls back Elekid and pulls out another Pokéball and threw it.
"Go for it, Smoochum!" Kairi said. The Pokéball opens and lets out Smoochum.
"Kairi has sent out her Smoochum to deal with her Ivysaur! And once again, Types advantages is in her favor since Smoochum is an Ice Type and a Psychic Type! But, will her Ivysaur get the best of her Smoochum like her Octillery did with Elekid? I'm starting to get the chills!" The announcer announced.
"Ivysaur! Start up with Tackle!" Christy ordered. Ivysaur charges with full force of its body to hit Smoochum.
"Okay Smoochum! Dodge and use Powder Snow!" Kairi ordered. Smoochum avoided Ivysaur's attack and fired Powder Snow right towards the Shiny seed Pokémon. Ivysaur got hit by the ice attack.
"Ivysaur! Bullet Seed!" Christy ordered. Ivysaur fired seeds right at the kiss Pokémon like a machine gun.
"Powder Snow again!" Kairi ordered. Smoochum fired Powder Snow and the seeds all froze in place.
"It looks like those two are cancelling each other out with those attacks! Smoochum's Powder Snow is freezing over Ivysaur's Bullet Seed, turning them into minature popsicles!" The announcer announced.
"Very good. Blocking my attack with your attack. I was right to take you seriously," Christy said.
"Thanks for that, Christy. You're not bad yourself. Smoochum! Case fire!" Kairi called out.
"Ivysaur! You stop firing too!" Christy called out. Both Pokémon ceased their attacks. They stare right into each other like a standoff.
"Smoochum and Ivysaur has stopped their attacks and they're staring at each other and they're waiting for the other to make the first move!" The announcer announced.
"Ivysaur! Tackle!" Christy ordered. Ivysaur moved in with a Tackle attack.
"Smoochum! Ice Punch!" Kairi ordered. Smoochum lands an icy punch on Ivysaur's face before Ivysaur can land a Tackle.
"Vine Whip!" Christy ordered. Ivysaur smacks Smoochum with Vine Whip in the face. Ivysaur kept smacking and smacking.
"It looks like those two are really giving everything they've got! Only one of them is going to make it out on top!" The announcer announced.
"Now use Magical Leaf!" Christy ordered. Ivysaur sent out multicolored leaves at Smoochum hoping to finish her off.
"Smoochum! Confusion!" Kairi ordered. Smoochum's eyes glows blue as she stops the leaves in their tracks. Smoochum sends them back and sends Ivysaur's Magical Leaf right back to its owner. "Now finish up with Ice Punch!"
"Ivysaur! Tackle!" Christy ordered. Both Pokémon ran towards each other to land the finishing blow to each other. Both did land a hit, but it resulted in a double knockout. The referee raises both flags.
"Ivysaur and Smoochum are unable to battle! This round is a draw!" The referee announced.
"Kairi remains to be in the lead while Christy has one left in reserve! I wonder if Christy can turn things around for herself and what other surprises does she have in store!" The announcer announced.
"I knew you could do it, Kairi! The battle's not over yet!" Sora said. Kairi turned to Sora and smiled.
"Thanks Sora!" Kairi said. She calls back her Smoochum as Christy calls back her Ivysaur.
"We may have both lost one at the same time, but you're doing better than I thought you would. I saved the best for last," she said taking out her last Pokéball. "Go for it, Arbok!" The Pokéball opens and lets out her Arbok!" This Arbok was slightly larger than Jessie's Arbok and possibly more stronger. Kairi took out Elekid's Pokéball and threw it.
"Come back out, Elekid!" Kairi called out as Elekid came back into the battle.
"And Kairi has sent Elekid back out to deal with her Arbok! Both of these Pokémon look strong enough, but it looks like Arbok has the advantage when it comes to both strength and size!" The announcer announced.
"Arbok! Poison Fang!" Christy ordered. Arbok launched itself towards Elekid with its jaws emitting poison.
"Dodge and use Thunder Shock!" Kairi ordered. Elekid launches Thunder Shock on Arbok shocking it good. But, it wasn't enough to take Arbok down; but it was enough to stop Arbok from using Poison Fang.
"That was great, Elekid! Now use Thunder Punch!" Kairi ordered. Elekid threw an electrified punch to the cobra Pokémon.
"Acid Spray!" Christy ordered. Arbok spewed out a large blob of purple acid right at Elekid.
"Arbok has let out a nasty Acid Spray and things aren't looking good for Elekid!" The announcer announced.
"Elekid! Use Thunder Shock again!" Kairi ordered. Elekid fires Thunder Shock again and it strikes Arbok hard.
"Arbok! Poison Fang!" Christy ordered. Arbok lunged towards Elekid once again even when taking the hit from Elekid's electricity.
"Dodge and use Quick Attack!" Kairi called out. Elekid ran pass Arbok, but the cobra Pokémon struck Elekid with its tail. Arbok turns back around with its fangs emitting poison and struck Elekid. "Now finish it with Headbutt!" Arbok rammed its head right into Elekid knocking her out. The referee raises the red flag.
"Elekid is unable to battle! Arbok wins!" The referee announced.
"Now Kairi has one Pokémon left to use! I'm going to guess after losing Smoochum in a double knockout, she doesn't have any other Pokémon that has an advantage over Arbok!" The announcer announced.
"That announcer is right; Smoochum was the only one on my team that has an advantage over Arbok. I can't use Togepi or Jigglypuff against Arbok because they'll be taken out quickly because they're Fairy Types. I guess I'll have to go with Raichu in this one," Kairi said in her thoughts. Kairi has taken out her third Pokéball.
"Has Kairi made up her mind? I wonder which one is she gonna have to use!" The announcer announced.
"Go Raichu!" Kairi said throwing her Pokéball and lets Raichu enter the battle.
"It would seem Kairi has sent out her Raichu to deal with Arbok! Will the mouse conquer over the snake? Or will the snake keep its dominance in the food chain? There is only one way to find out!" The announcer announced.
"Arbok! Acid Spray!" Christy ordered. Arbok fired another large drop of purple acid right at Raichu.
"Raichu! Dodge and use Quick Attack!" Kairi ordered. Raichu ran pass Arbok, but Raichu dashed back and rammed into Arbok.
"Raichu did a better job with Quick Attack than Elekid did! And it would seem Arbok has gotten exhausted from that battle with Elekid and Raichu had just gotten out!" The announcer announced.
"I couldn't agree more with that," Christy agreed. "But my Arbok is just getting started and so have I! Arbok! Headbutt!" Arbok dashed over to Raichu to land a headbutt.
"Thunder Punch!" Kairi ordered. Raichu landed an electrified punch on Arbok's head sending the cobra Pokémon on the ground. "Now use Thunderbolt!" Raichu gave Arbok quite a shock. It was enough to completely bring down Arbok. The referee raises the green flag.
"Arbok is unable to battle! Raichu wins! Kairi wins the battle!" The referee announced.
"And there you have it! Kairi is moving on to the final round of the Poké Maiden Tournament against Crimson! The battle with begin within an hour!" The announcer announced. Crimson watched the whole battle pretty impressed.
"I'll have to admit, I was impressed by her battling skills. Her Pokémon are really something else. But, why hasn't she sent that Togepi out to battle. It's a good thing it's a full six-on-six battle, because she'll have no choice but to send out her Togepi against me," Crimson said. "And I'll take it out just like I will do her." Crimson laughs smugly.
Once Kairi had her Pokémon healed up for the final battle, Kairi was approached by all the other participants who were already eliminated during the competition.
"Um, something I can help you guys out with?" Kairi asked feeling nervous.
"You can help us out alright," Winnie said.
"You can help by putting that snobby bitch in her place," Marie said.
"She goes around saying that she's better than the rest of us and decides herself the winner even if some of us didn't even battle her," Marie said.
"Yeah, I already got a taste of it," Kairi said.
"So, you'll make it really bitter for her, right?" Aoi asked.
"Don't any of you worry. I'll give her a battle she won't forget. I'm not just going to dedicate it to my boyfriend and my friends; I'm dedicating it to all of you too," Kairi said.
Even though they all lost, they all rooted for Kairi hoping to send Crimson down several levels down. Sora was mighty proud of his girlfriend showing some hope for the other girls because they all dislike Crimson.
The time has come for the battle between Kairi and Crimson. Kairi came to the battlefield with Togepi walking beside her with Sora and the mouse Pokémon right beside him and right behind her.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have now entered the final round of the Poké Maiden Tournament! Crimson and Kairi have both come so far and only one of them is walking away with that winner's trophy!" The announcer announced.
"She may have climed to the top, but she's going to make a pretty big fall," Crimson said in her thoughts.
"I couldn't care less about some trophy, because taking her down is all I need to prove to this stuck up bimbo about how real Pokémon trainers should respect other trainers and save that kind of talk on the battlefield," Kairi said in her thoughts. The referee steps out and explains the rules to the both of them.
"As you know, this is the final round of the Poké Maiden Tournament! Both of you will be using all six Pokémon each! The battle will be over when all six of your Pokémon are unable to continue battling! Are you ready to begin?" The referee asked.
"Yes!" Kairi and Crimson answered.
"Good!" The referee stated. She raises both flags. "Begin the battle!" Crimson took out her first Pokéball as did Kairi. The computer has selected Kairi to make the first choice.
"Take the stage, Jigglypuff!" Kairi called out. She threw her Pokéball and Jigglypuff takes a bow upon entry.
"Then my first Pokémon is going to be Persian!" Crimson said as she threw her Pokéball letting out an Alolan Persian. The Dark Type cat Pokémon purrs and snarls at the opponent.
"Kairi has chosen Jigglypuff while Crimson has sent out an Alolan Persian! And I must say Jigglypuff has the advantage against this Persian since Jigglypuff is a Fairy Type as well as a Normal Type!" The announcer announced.
"Is she trying to throw Kairi off her guard? She's not easily fooled as she'll be disappointed to know," Sora said in his thoughts.
"Persian! Begin with Night Slash!" Crimson ordered. Persian jumped towards Jigglypuff with its claws emitting a dark aura.
"Jigglypuff! Dodge and use Pound!" Kairi ordered. Jigglypuff swerved out of the way and landed a Pound on the Dark Type Persian. "Now use Double Slap!" Jigglypuff slaps Persian hard four times.
"Power Gem!" Crimson ordered. Persian fired Power Gem right at the balloon Pokémon.
"Dodge it!" Kairi called out. Jigglypuff quickly inhaled some air and floated in the air. "Now move in with Pound again!" Jigglypuff floats towards the classy cat Pokémon and landed another Pound. "Now use Rollout!" Jigglypuff slowly exhaled the air and rolled into a ball and rammed into Persian.
"Kairi is doing a serious number on Crimson's Persian! Jigglypuff may be cute, but it packs quite a punch!" The announcer announced.
"Persian! Stop that puny Jigglypuff now! Night Slash!" Crimson ordered. Persian moved in with Night Slash again, but Jigglypuff rolled into Persian again and that came pretty fast. Jigglypuff kept rolling until she delivered the finishing blow to Persian knocking it out. The referee raises the green flag.
"Persian is unable to battle! Jigglypuff wins!" The referee announced.
"Kairi has taken the early lead in this battle! Even though Jigglypuff didn't know any Fairy Type moves, it still overcame its opponent!" The announcer announced.
"Not bad, girl. Didn't expect to have this happen to me so soon," Crimson said calling back her Persian and pulls out another Pokéball. "The results won't be the same again." She threw the Pokéball. "Go Granbull!" The Pokéball opens to reveal a Granbull and it lets out a loud roar upon entry.
"Crimson's second Pokémon is a Granbull! Crimson isn't messing around when dealing with this powerful biting machine!" The announcer announced.
"Neither am I," Kairi stated. "You still able to go, Jigglypuff?"
"Jiggly," Jigglypuff nodded.
"Great! Now start up up with Double Slap!" Kairi ordered. Jigglypuff headed towards Granbull to land a Double Slap attack.
"Granbull! Thunder Fang!" Crimson ordered. Granbull charged towards the Balloon Pokémon and lands an electrified bite on Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff is sent back.
"Ooh! Granbull has stopped Jigglypuff from attacking with that Thunder Fang! And it doesn't look like Granbull is going to put up with Jigglypuff at all!" The announcer announced. Kairi thought of an idea.
"Jigglypuff! Sing!" Kairi ordered. Jigglypuff sang her song as multicolored music notes surrounded Granbull and the music notes make contact with Granbull putting it to sleep.
"Kairi wasn't messing around either since she had Jigglypuff sing Granbull a lullaby! How does Crimson intend to handle this?" The announcer asked. Crimson pulls out Granbull's Pokéball and calls Granbull back. She pulls out another Pokéball.
"My Granbull may be asleep, but my next one won't be affected at all!" Crimson said as she threw her Pokéball. "Go Primeape!" The Pokéball opens and lets out a Primeape and it banged its chest on entry.
"It looks like Crimson has got around Kairi's lullabye strategy with her Primeape! This Primeape must have the Ability Vital Spirit at its disposal!" The announcer announced.
"That was a good move on your part, Crimson," Kairi said calling back Jigglypuff. She pulls out another Pokéball. "But, you're still sunk! Go Smoochum!" Kairi threw her Pokéball and it lets out Smoochum.
"Kairi has sent out her Smoochum to deal with Primeape! Smoochum has the advantage being a Psychic Type Pokémon!" The announcer announced.
"My Primeape isn't afraid of anything! Primeape! Pound that pipsqueak with your Rage!" Crimson ordered. Primeape's nostrils blows like a train as its entire body glows in a red aura. Primeape charges towards Smoochum.
"Confusion!" Kairi ordered. Smoochum stops Primeape in its tracks not being able to move.
"Primeape appears to be having trouble moving towards its opponent! Smoochum has used its Psychic Type attack to prevent Primeape from getting closer!" The announcer announced.
"No way! Primeape can't get loose! I better call Primeape back," Crimson said taking out her Pokéball.
"Send Primeape flying!" Kairi called out. Smoochum levitates Primeape in the air and then all over the place making it hard for Crimson to call back her Primeape.
"It appears Kairi isn't taking any chances with Crimson's Primeape and it's using Confusion to send Primeape literally all over the place! I'm getting dizzy just watching it!" The announcer announced.
"Now use Powder Snow!" Kairi called out. Smoochum fired Powder Snow turning Primeape into an ice sculpture. "Now use Ice Punch!" Smoochum used her Confusion and landed a finishing freezing punch on the pig monkey Pokémon. The referee raises the green flag.
"Primeape is unable to battle! Smoochum wins!" The referee announced.
"And that makes two Pokémon Kairi had eliminated! She is well on her way!" The announcer announced.
"Sending my Primeape flying around like that was a clever ploy to stop me from calling it back. Now I'm really done playing around!" Crimson said as she calls back Primeape and took out another Pokéball. "Go Ninetales!" Crimson threw the Pokéball and Ninetales enters the battle.
"And Crimson has let out her fourth Pokémon! And this time, Crimson has gained the Type advantage!" The announcer announced. Kairi calls back Smoochum. "Look at that! Kairi is withdrawing Smoochum for another one of her Pokémon!" Kairi took out Jigglypuff's Pokéball.
"Take the stage again, Jigglypuff!" Kairi said throwing her Pokéball and letting Jigglypuff back in the battle.
"Kairi has sent Jigglypuff back out to battle Ninetales! I wonder if Jigglypuff will mop the floor with Ninetales like it did with Crimson's Persian!" The announcer announced.
"Ninetales! Confuse Ray!" Crimson ordered. Ninetales sends out a white flashing light towards the balloon Pokémon to confuse her.
"Jigglypuff, dodge!" Kairi called out. Jigglypuff bounces out of the way and Confuse Ray had missed its mark.
"No you don't! Get that powderpuff! Heat Wave!" Crimson ordered. Ninetales sends out a wave of red-orange wave of flames to hit Jigglypuff. The attack strikes her on the side.
"Jigglypuff! Sing!" Kairi ordered. Jigglypuff sang her song as multicolored music notes heads towards Ninetales and puts her to sleep. "Now use Rollout!" Jigglypuff rolls into a ball once again and she strikes the fox Pokémon very hard and the force of the attack knocks Ninetales out. The referee raises the green flag.
"Ninetales is unable to battle! Jigglypuff wins!" The referee announced.
"Kairi has taken down three of Crimson's Pokémon! And with three Pokémon eliminated, we are going to have a fifteen minute recess for both trainer's to rest up!" The announcer announced. Crimosn growls with anger and frustration.
"How dare she make a fool out of me," she hissed in her thoughts. "Nobody makes a fool out of me and gets away with it. This brat may have already eliminated half of my team, but she won't be so fortunate next time."
Kairi wiped off some sweat with a towel Sora handed her nd he gave her some water to drink.
"I don't know how you handled it back in the Indigo Plateu, but I'll have to admit, it's even more intense than I thought," Kairi said taking a drink.
"The important thing is you're having fun with this, right?" Sora asked his girlfriend.
"I am. It's even more fun when you're right here beside me," Kairi said.
"I'm always going to be right beside you, Kairi. The same way you were right beside me," Sora said smiling at her. Kairi smiled back at her.
Fifteen minutes came and went and it was time for the second half of the final battle.
"We enter the second round for the final round of the Poké Maiden Tournament as Kairi leads by three!" The announcer announced. Kairi's fanclub roars as they cheered on Kairi.
"Kairi is our princess! Win this for all of us because we love you, our princess!" The fans cheered.
Crimson glared at Kairi with a hateful look in her eyes having to lost half her team when she was supposed to in the lead right from the start. The referee steps out and raises her flags.
"Trainers! Resume the battle!" The referee instructed. Kairi and Crimson took out their Pokéballs.
"Go Starmie!" Crimson threw her Pokéball letting out her Starmie.
"Go Elekid!" Kairi called out throwing her Pokéball letting out Elekid spinning her arms making an entrance.
"Crimson has sent out Starmie and Kairi has sent out Elekid! Kairi has gained the Type advantage in this one! But I wouldn't count out that Starmie just yet!" The announcer announced.
"Elekid! Thunder Shock!" Kairi ordered. Elekid fires Thunder Shock right at the star-like Pokémon.
"Starmie! Psychic!" Crimson ordered. Starmie's jewel core glows as it sends Thunder Shock right back at Elekid with twice the power and it was enough to knock out Elekid. The referee raises the red flag.
"Elekid is unable to battle! Starmie wins!" The referee announced.
"Crimson has finally taken out one of Kairi's Pokémon! Kairi will have to rethink her plan to conquer that Starmie!" The announcer announced. Kairi calls back Elekid.
"It's okay, Elekid. You tried and that's what matters," Kairi said taking out another Pokéball. "Go for it Raichu!" Kairi threw it and Raichu flexes upon entry.
"Kairi has sent out her Raichu to deal with Starmie to make up for Elekid's hiccup!" The announcer announced.
"I knew you would send your other Electric Type to deal with my Starmie. I can't even tell you how many Electric Type Pokémon my Starmie has taken down; and your Elekid is no exception!" Crimson gloated.
"I might send out Thunderbolt to deal with Starmie, but she'll just send it back. Maybe, I'll try something like with Aoi's Clefable," Kairi said in her thoughts. Kairi spoke out loud, "Raichu! Quick Attack!" Raichu ran across the battlefield and landed a hit on Starmie.
"Is that how you want to play it? Then that's how I want to play it too! Starmie! Dazzling Gleam!" Crimson ordered. Starmie's core glows pink and sends out Dazzling Gleam to hit Raichu.
"Dodge!" Kairi called out. Raichu used his tail as a spring to avoid Dazzling Gleam.
"It looks like Starmie is having a hard time keeping up with Raichu's speed! Starmie keeps firing Dazzling Gleam, but Raichu keeps throwing off Starmie with its speed!" The announcer announced. Starmie kept firing and firing, but Raichu was just too fast. Kairi saw how quickly tired Starmie got from firing those attacks.
"Thunder Punch!" Kairi ordered. Raichu ran up to Starmie and landed a Thunder Punch on Starmie causing heavy damage. Starmie quickly regained its balance. "Quick Attack!" Raichu rammed into Starmie again. Raichu got on top of Starmie. Crimson gasped in realization.
"Starmie! Shake Raichu off!" Crimson called out.
"Thunderbolt!" Kairi ordered. Raichu gave Starmie quite a shock causing heavy damage. Starmie falls to the ground with its core flashing. The referee raises the green flag.
"Starmie is unable to battle! Raichu wins!" The referee announced.
"And Raichu has mopped the floor with Starmie! Kairi is still leading with five Pokémon while Crimson still has two! Which one will she send out next?" The announcer asked. She takes out another Pokéball and threw it.
"Back out, Granbull!" Crimson threw her Pokéball back out with her Granbull still asleep.
"And she sends Granbull back out and it's still asleep! Could she be throwing the battle or could she have an ace up her sleeve?" The announcer asked. Kairi calls back Raichu and pulls out another Pokéball.
"Go Magby!" Kairi said throwing her Pokéball. The Pokéball opens and lets out Magby.
"Kairi has sent Magby out to deal with the sleeping Granbull! I wonder what could Crimson have in store for Kairi's Pokémon!" The announcer announced.
"That Granbull could wake up at any moment. Better take her out quickly," Kairi said in her thoughts. Kairi spoke out loud, "Magby! Fire Punch!" Magby lands a fiery punch on the sleeping Granbull. That woke up Granbull. "Uh-oh."
"Thunder Fang!" Crimson ordered. Granbull charged towards Magby with her fangs sparkling with lightning.
"Dodge and use Ember!" Kairi called out. Magby moves to the left with Granbull in hot pursuit of her target. Magby fired Ember right into Granbull's face.
"Mega Punch!" Crimson ordered. Granbull threw a powerful punch at Magby. The full force of the punch sends Magby flying knocking her out. The referee raises the red flag.
"Magby is unable to battle! Granbull wins!" The referee announced.
"And there you have it! Granbull takes down Kairi's Magby! Maybe Crimson is making quite a comeback!" The announcer announced. Kairi calls back Magby and pulls out Raichu's Pokéball.
"Come back out, Raichu!" Kairi called out as the the Pokéball lets Raichu back out to battle.
"Sending your Raichu to deal with my Granbull? She must be desperate if she's sending out that rodent to battle. She must be saving that Togepi for last," Crimson said in her thoughts.
"Raichu! Thunder Punch!" Kairi called out.
"Granbull! Mega Punch!" Crimson ordered. Both Pokémon threw powerful punches at each other.
"Thunderbolt!" Kairi called out. Raichu fires Thunderbolt and it shocks the fairy Pokémon, but it wasn't enough to bring her down.
"Granbull! Thunder Fang!" Crimson ordered. Granbull charges to the mouse Pokémon with her fangs emitting lightning. Granbull lands a hit on Raichu.
"Thunder Punch!" Kairi ordered. Raichu threw another punch in Granbull's right eye. "Now use Quick Attack!" Raichu dashed into Granbull's gut making her skid the ground.
"Those two are really giving everything they've got! Neither one of them wants to lose! And juding how this is going, it looks like it could go either way!" The announcer announced.
"Granbull! Mega Punch! Crimson ordered.
"Raichu! Thunder Punch!" Kairi ordered. Both Raichu and Granbull came at each other with their fists coming at each other. Raichu lands a punch and the same for Granbull. Both Pokémon falls to the ground in exhaustion earning a double knockout. The referee raises both flags.
"Granbull and Raichu are unable to battle! This round is a draw!" The referee announced.
"Both girls have earned a double knockout! Crimson has one left and Kairi has three remaining! How will the tables turn for Crimson?" The announcer announced. Crimson took out her last Pokéball.
"I've been saving the best for last. Dragonair! Go!" Crimson threw her Pokéball and it lets out her Dragonair letting out a majestic cry.
"Crimson has sent out her final Pokemon: Dragonair! Dragonair had served her well during the tournament! But will this Dragonair be enough to take down Kairi's remaining team?" The announcer asked. Kairi takes out Jigglypuff's Pokéball.
"Jigglypuff, Smoochum and Togepi are the only ones left and their the only ones on my team that has an edge over a Dragon Type Pokémon like Dragonair. I'm going to send Jigglypuff in first," Kairi said in her thoughts. She threw her Pokéball, "Go Jigglypuff!" The Pokéball opens and Jigglypuff twirls upon entry.
"Kairi has sent Jigglypuff back out! Will Jigglypuff be able to take down Crimson's final Pokémon or will Jigglypuff fall victim despite a Type advantage? There is only one way to find out!" The announcer announced.
"Jigglypuff! Rollout!" Kairi ordered. Jigglypuff rolled into a ball and headed towards the dragon Pokémon.
"Dragonair! Thunderbolt!" Crimson ordered. Dragonair's jewel glows yellow as it sends out Thunderbolt on the balloon Pokémon stopping her from using Rollout. "Now use Ice Beam!" Dragonair freezes Jigglypuff into a block of ice. The ice block with the balloon Pokémon inside falls and the ice block shatters. Jigglypuff's eyes swirls upon being knocked out. The referee raises the red flag.
"Jigglypuff is unable to battle! Dragonair wins!" The referee announced.
"Kairi now has two Pokémon left to use! Which one does she have that can stand up to Crimson's Dragonair?" The announcer asked. Kairi took out Smoochum's Pokéball.
"Back to action, Smoochum!" Kairi called out as the Pokéball opens and lets out Smoochum.
"Kairi has sent Smoochum to deal with Dragonair! Kairi has the Type advantage over Crimson once again! Let's see how this turns out!" The announcer announced.
"I figured she'll send her Smoochum back out. It's revenge for what she did to my Primeape," Crimson said smirking.
"Smoochum! Powder Snow!" Kairi ordered. Smoochum fired Powder Snow right at the serpentine dragon Pokémon.
"Dragonair! Dodge and use Dragon Rush!" Crimson ordered. Dragonair surrounded itself with a purple aura and headed towards Smoochum.
"Crimson really wants to end this badly! She's having her Dragonair move in with a devastating Dragon Rush attack!" The announcer announced.
"Dodge it quick!" Kairi called out. Smoochum narrowly avoids Dragonair's attack, but she gets caught in the blast of the Dragon Rush. "Try using Ice Punch!" Smoochum regained her balance upon landing on her feet and leapt back up and threw an icy punch on Dragonair giving it a chilling hit.
"That won't be enough to take down my Dragonair! Use Flamethrower now!" Crimson ordered. Dragonair fired Flamethrower right at the kiss Pokémon and quickly became overwhelmed by Flamethrower.
"Ooh! That Flamethrower looks too hot for Smoochum to handle!" The announcer announced. Smoochum falls on her back knocked out. The referee raises the red flag.
"Smoochum is unable to battle! Dragonair wins!" The referee announced.
"And there you have it! Both Kairi and Crimson have one Pokémon left to use! This can be anybody's battle now!" The announcer announced. Kairi looked over to Togepi and he looked back at her.
"This is your first battle ever, Togepi," Kairi said.
"Toge," Togepi nodded.
"I'm going to admit that I'm worried like when you helped with that Pokémon hunter that one time, but I know you can pull through for me. I believe in you," Kairi said. That was the encouragement Togepi needed. The spike ball Pokémon went onto the battlefield without any fear on his face.
"And Kairi's final Pokémon is her Togepi! Togepi may be small in appearance, but Togepi has the advantage as a Fairy Type Pokémon! Let's see how it does!" The announcer announced.
"Not so well, I can tell you. I've waiting patiently for her to send out that little runt. Dragonair! Flamethrower!" Crimson ordered. Dragonair fires Flamethrower right at Togepi. Kairi had some aces up her sleeve.
"Togepi! Safeguard!" Kairi ordered. Togepi formed a protective shield in front of him. The Flamethrower is blocked as Togepi's defenses have risen. Crimson wasn't expecting that to happen. "Now use Swift!" Togepi fired Swift and the stars smacks Dragonair.
"This is incredible! Togepi is tougher than I expected! Crimson must have thought she was going to find an easy win with this little Pokémon! She must have been disappointed to find out how hard she is!" The announcer announced.
"What the hell is going on?! This isn't how I planned at all!" Crimson exclaimed. "Thunderbolt!" Dragonair fires Thunderbolt right at Togepi.
"Safeguard!" Kairi called out. The protective shield blocks Thunderbolt and Togepi's defenses raises again. "Now use Metronome!" Togepi swings his little arms back and forth. Dragonair moved along with Togepi's movements. The Pichu did the same thing as Pikachu.
"Togepi is now using its Metronome! I'm at the edge of my seat because just about anything can happen when Metronome is used; I wonder what could happen!" The announcer announed. Togepi stops swinging his arms around as they gave off a little blue glow. Togepi fires a large sphere of flames with two rings surrounding it from Togepi's little hands. The attack is sent towards Dragonair and the attack hits it hard. Crimson was at a disbelief to what she was witnessing. "Incredible! If I didn't know better, I could have sworn that was Fusion Flare! That is a very powerful Fire Type attack!" Sora and Kairi were surprised by what they saw.
"Fusion Flare?" Sora and Kairi asked in shock. Even the Alolan nine were amazed by this sight.
"Fusion Flare. If I remember right, the legendary Pokémon Reshiram uses that attack," Lillie pointed out.
"How right you are, Lillie. You have to remember, Togepi can use any just attack when using Metronome. With the exceptions of certain ones like Protect, Assist, Sleep Talk, or Counter," Illima said.
"Kairi's Togepi is just full of surprises," Hapu said.
"I'm with Hapu. I had no idea how Togepi could have learned those moves despite never being in an actual battle before," Kiawe said.
"Me neither," Mina said.
"And I thought Sora was full of surprises," Lana said. The rest of the Alolan nine agreed.
"Dragonair..." Crimson gasped. Dragonair had some burns on its body from taking Fusion Flame. Dragonair could make another move towards Togepi, but it was too tired and injured to do so.
"Crimson's Dragonair doesn't look so good! Taking that Fusion Flare must have taken loads of damage despite having a good defense from Fire Type attacks!" The announcer announced.
"Okay Togepi! Finish up with Last Resort!" Kairi ordered. Togepi body becomes outlined in a golden aura, with orbs of energy being absorbed into his body. The golden aura then forms into a massive star in front of Togepi's body and is fired at Dragonair, bringing it down. Dragonair was down and out. The referee raises the green flag.
"Dragonair is unable to battle! Togepi wins! The championship battle goes to Kairi from Pallet Town!" The referee announced. The crowd starts roaring as the tournament has now concluded.
"And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen! This year's Poké Maiden Tournment champion is Kairi from Pallet Town!" The announcer announced. The girls who participated the tournament all cheer as they were all glad to see Crimson had lost. Kairi's fanclub cheered even more as they chanted for their princess for her victory. Crimson was at a loss to her defeat as she turned comepletely white as chalk.
"I can't believe it. I lost to some little brat? Just who is this girl?" Crimson asked in disbelief as she felt herself eroding away into dust.
Kairi had recieved the championship trophy from the forewoman with all six of her Pokémon standing beside her.
"Concragualtions, Kairi. Your hard work and dedication to your Pokémon has paid off. This trophy is living poof of it," the forewoman congragulated.
"Thank you," Kairi said accepting the trophy. "I didn't do it alone. I had the support of my friends and my boyfriend right beside me; especially my boyfriend." Sora smiled as he felt proud of his girlfriend for her victory.
A couple of hours later, Kairi had placed her trophy and her winning photo inside a cardboard box filled with styrofoam pellets. She even placed her latest letter inside as well.
"I'm sure your grandma will pretty surprised to see your trophy and your victory photo when she gets it," Sora said.
"Yeah. I can just hear her say how proud of me she really is. And how much my grandpa and my parents feeling the same way if they were alive today," Kairi said.
"But, I'm proud of you too. You were in pretty tight spots, but you came through like I knew you would," Sora said. Kairi wrapped her arms around Sora's shoulders.
"I couldn't have done it without you. We're pretty strong when we're together," Kairi said.
"And that is never ever gonna change," Sora said wrapping his arms around her. "I love you, Kairi."
"And I love you too, Sora," Kairi said. Sora and Kairi kissed each other on the lips for a few seconds when a mail carrier arrived.
"Are you the one who requested this package to be delivered to Pallet Town?" The carrier asked.
"Yes. Would you see to it that it gets there as soon as possible?" Kairi asked.
"It'll be my pleasure," he said with a smile. He gently placed it in the back of the truck and drove off to have it delievered.
The couple rejoined their friends as they celebrated in the messhall of the Pokémon Center. But, it wasn't pretty quiet since there were times that some of the locals would ask for her autograph and some of the boys took selfies with her. Sora knew how she felt when some of the girls back at Pallet Town would do the same thing.
The group stayed for the night to rest up to continue on with their journey and for Sora's very next Gym battle getting closer than ever.
