The next morning, Gary and Brock walked out of the center and saw a large number or people were already up and about nearby.
As he got closer to the crowd, he saw there was a stage set up. In front a a bunch of portable bleachers.
(Music: Pokemon I choose you)
"And here is the final contestant. NOW IS EVERYONE READY FOR THE MOVE SPECTACLE SHOWCASE?!" Shouted a voice.
"Well, I guess we were late…" Brock whispered to Gary.
"It seems Gary has arrived just in time but now he's frozen in his place" the announcer continued.
Taking the hint, Gary ran up the steps to the stage and stood next to Jessadia. The others on the stage were Jack who had his Beedrill, a lady with a Swanna, and a man who had a Gallade. Gary proceeded to send out May.
"Ok, here are the rules. The contestants each get one minute to show off as many moves as possible as spectacularly as possible. Then after each full rotation, one contestant will be eliminated. When three of them have been eliminated, the remaining two will face off to see who outshines the other. Mega evolution is strictly prohibited in this competition. First off, Jack!" The announcer said.
"Beedrill, Silver wind! Then Swift!" He yelled. Beedrill flapped its wings harder sending a silvery gust through the area as it fired its swift into the sky. The stars were turned into showers of glitter by the silver wind.
"Now, sunny day into solar beam" he continued. They sun grew brighter and made the glitter sparkle. As it fired Solar beam, the glitter began to spin around it and sent a sort of disco effect over the crowd.
"Time. Now, Lady Benedine" called the announcer.
"Bubble beam, then change to icy wind!" Benedine said. Her Swanna sent a large number of bubbles into the air, then froze them with icy wind making spheres of ice.
"Air cutter into gust!" She added. The white bird Pokemon sent small blades of air into the frozen bubbles turning them into shining snowflakes. Which it blew around the crowd.
"Finish with aqua ring" Benedine called. Her Pokemon nodded and a veil of water formed around it which was turned into a dome of white glitter using the snowflakes.
"Use ancient power!" Gary yelled.
May formed a large amount of rocks over her head.
"Now mud shot into the ancient power!" He added. She sent the blast of mud into the boulders and to everyone's amazement, the boulders broke apart revealing brilliant crystals concealed within.
"Scary face" he continued. The bits of gemstone formed into a face which winked at the crowd then exploded sending showers of crystalline shards everywhere.
The rest rained down onto her and covered the stage.
"Go ahead, Barron Louis" the announcer called.
"Gallade, mega evolve into Mega Gallade" the man said as he pressed a multicolored stone on his top hat. Suddenly, a Loud buzzer sounded.
(music: Oden)
"OHHH…that's a penalty. You must have thought we were joking about the no mega evolution rule of this expo. That's an automatic disqualification for you Mr. Louis. Next time, stick to the rules" said a lady who had taken the microphone from the announcer.
She handed it back to him as Louis returned his Gallade and walked off of the stage muttering to himself.
"Jessadia, your turn!" The announcer said. Jessadia reached for a pokeball before looking worried. She began to pat herself down hurriedly.
"Something appears to be wrong. Did Jessadia forget to bring a Pokemon?!" Asked the MC. The crowd began to whisper to themselves.
"What a disaster for her, she really has forgotten her Pokemon! This may just be one of her new most embarrassing moments ever! How tragic!" he continued as Jessadia ran off the stage covering her face.
"Time's up! Now the one who is getting eliminated is…..Benedine. Sorry M'lady, but better luck next time" the announcer said while she recalled her Swanna and walked off the stage.
Behind the stage however, Jessie and James as well as Meowth were lurking.
"I can't believe I forgot my Pokemon! This is madness and I won't stand for it!" Jessie yelled.
"Don't worry Jess. We'll wreck this show and make them pay for humiliating you. Meowth, activate the secret weapon!" Said James.
"With pleasure…cept' it ain't done yet…." Meowth sighed.
(Music: total war)
"Now, which one of you can outshine the other?" The Anouncer asked, "you each get one chance to make a bigger spectacle then the other. Only one of you will walk out the winner" he said.
"May, Ancient power then slash" Gary said. The rocks formed then May slashed them sending explosions of crystal everywhere like jeweled fireworks.
Jack grinned. "Electroweb then Drill run it!" He ordered. His Beedrill shot the electric web out then charged into it. Jack had expected the web to explode into sparkles, but it just wrapped around his Pokemon and made it crash onto the ground in front of the stage.
"Well that was depressing….I think we all know who the winner is. Gary, your prize is….A trip for your Pokemon and you to the Celadon City Pokemon Spa!" The anouncer yelled.
A lady in a red sequin-covered tube dress walked up to Gary with a certificate which he took.
"Well this lasted much shorter than I had expected and I likely won't get paid again, however thank you to the audience for being up so early and to our trainers for participating. For those who lost, your complimentary 'too bad, at lease you tried' medals will be presented to you at the Pokemon center! I am your smart ass announcer and ….wait…Benedine, what are you and Mr. Louis doing with those Repels and escape ropes…no… no…NOOOOOO!" the MC screamed before the audio cut off.
"Alright, we win…I think..." Gary told may.
"To be honest, I had expected a bit more of a Challenge" he heard her reply.
"Just be happy we actually got a prize unlike back in Cerulean. I can't help but wonder what that prize certificate was for" he said, "We'll never know I guess…"
(End music)
"Hey Gary, I just remembered something. Have you gotten your team their monthly checkups?" Brock asked as they were walking back into the Pokemon center.
"Oh shoot..you're right…" Gary said. He handed nurse joy Serena's, Dawn's May's and Ash's pokeballs.
"Can you give them each a checkup. While I'm positive they don't have any illnesses, they do need shots and things" he said. She smiled, nodded, and took them in back. She then sent them each out onto an examination table.
"Uh…why are we on a doctor's table?" May asked Ashly.
"I don't want to alarm any of you, but…..don't look on that tray there" Dawn said slowly. Of course, they all looked and saw a bunch of syringes and tools.
"I know what you all are thinking. I just want you to take these pills" Joy told them as she placed a pair of red pills down in front each of them.
After they had taken them, they began to grow limp.
"What's happening?!" May asked.
"I have no clue but I don't like it" replied Serena.
Joy picked Ashly up and carried her into another room. Soon she came back and took Dawn. Then Serena.
A Chansey walked past. "Excuse me, what happened to my friends?" May asked it.
"Nothing you need to worry about. Just a few pulse checks, oral inspections…" It answered.
May sighed in relief.
"Oh, and shots too" it added.
May's tail sagged and she began to look around in fear, the adrenaline easily overpowering the pills she had taken. She flinched as Nurse Joy came back until the room and wheeled the table into another one, took a needle off of the wall, and filled it with a purple liquid from a medicine bottle.
When she walked over to where May was, the Groudon formed an Ancient Power over her head.
"I need to do this. If you cooperate it's going to be quick, ok?" Joy told her.
"That needle isn't come anywhere near me" May projected.
"I promise it really won't hurt for long. Your friends said it actually felt kind of nice after the stinging stopped" said a Chansey. May moved the ancient power closer to Joy threateningly, jumping off the table and onto the floor next to it as she did so.
(Music: Kanto Rival/Champion Battle)
"Well, I guess we'll have to do this hard way" Joy sighed. She reached behind her back and pulled out a heal ball.
"Wigglytuff, on call!" She shouted as she threw it onto the floor in front of her. It popped open sending out a ring of sparkles and her Pokemon out.
"I don't like to fight since it goes against the hippokèrattic oath, but if I don't, then the outcome could be even worse. Use focus blast!" She shouted.
"Sorry friend, but I guess I have to do as my trainer said…TOOM TAAA!" The wigglytuff yelled, sending a glowing ball of energy into may. It exploded and knocked her flying into a wall.
"Alright, now I'm angry" she said while she reformed her ancient power and fired it at Joy's Pokemon.
"Use protect, then Hyper beam!" Joy yelled. The ancient power scattered upon hitting the shield, then Wigglytuff opened its mouth and a bright glow formed in it. May jumped to the side just as a giant red energy beam streaked across the room and blew out the wall she had been in front of. Her left claws grew and she ran towards Wigglytuff.
"Double edge!" Joy countered. Wigglytuff charged head on into May and this caused them both to fly through another wall into the waiting area where everyone turned to look at the dust cloud while Joy walked out of it.
"Now, are you going to get your shots or am I gonna' have to fire off more of my own?" She asked may.
May just formed another Ancient Power.
"Disable, now!" Joy ordered. Wigglytuff's eyes flashed and her attack dissipated.
"Use focus punch, then Giga impact!" She said. Her Pokemon ran up and punched May launching her into the front desk, then a green swirling aura of energy formed around it and it charged into the remaining pile of painted wood and plastic, turning it into splinters.
"WHAT THE HECK?!" Yelled a trainer.
"That's saffron's Joy for you. If someone doesn't take their medicine, she won't just make them listen to her, she'll cram it down their throat" replied another.
Wigglytuff walked out of the dust cloud dragging a fainted May behind it by her tail.
"There…..Now then, does anyone else want to try my patience today?" Joy asked as she wiped a bit of sweat off her forehead.
(End music)
Brock just backed away and ran down the hall towards his and gary's room.
"How did you…?" Gary asked her.
"I was a Pokemon trainer before I was a nurse. All my Pokemon are level one hundred and are EV trained to be the toughest, yet most well rounded fighters in any situation" she replied with a smile while taking may into the back.
Joy went into a different operating area and took out another syringe, then filled it up, and after spending a good five minutes figuring out where and how exactly she was going to inject it, stuck it in between two of the armored plates on May's belly.
When She woke up again she was laying in a hospital bed next to Ashly, Dawn, and Serena.
"Did you have to make such a big deal out of that?" Ashly asked her tiredly.
"Yeah, I could hear you both going at one another even in my sleep" replied Dawn.
"You took out at least a third of the building. Now where are Pokemon supposed to recover from battles or injuries?!" Serena yelled.
Joy walked in and handed her, Ashly, and Dawn each an Oran berry. "You would have gotten one had you not made me destroy half of my center just to give you a pokeflu shot" she told may as she returned them.
She took their pokeballs balls back to Gary who thanked her and then left with Brock.

(Yup, that's a EoT/D/S reference up there, forfeit your perfect apples or else….but seriously, does the guildmaster's face look like the face of someone who will have a problem breaking you?! No kids, that's not happiness, that's a look of unrelenting hunger and/or fascination for its opponents that we here at Terminalvelocityrunner highly doubt was put there without the distinct purpose of terrorizing his fallen foes in their sleep. Wigglytuff consumes souls at the speed of light, Surender now or prepare for an all out plight. Oh F**k, that's right…)
