It was 5:00 AM in the morning and Kirby started to wake up. He lifted himself off his bed and blinked twice then sat up. He looked around and saw most of his Pokemon face down on his bed. Kirby tilted his head in confusion before he took out his phone from his hat and checked what time is it.

"Everyone, please looked at the screen and we'll reveal the first matches for the first round of the tournament." He announced. The screen had 16 cards on the screen and it started to shuffle them around. The group stared at it intensely until the cards disappeared and revealed two cards.

"First round: Georgia VS Sylvester!"

"I'll do my best!" A blue headed boy cheered. Georgia had a smirk and looked at Iris.

"Hey kid." She said.

"If anyone's a kid, it's you!" She retaliated.

"Whatever, make sure you don't lose before me, because I'll be the one to take you down!" Georgia warned. Lightning started to created between them while the Sylvester sweat dropped at the act.

"Um, I'm your opponent." He said with a disappointed face.

"Second Match: Dino VS Meta Knight."

"A formidable opponent to take down." Meta Knight told himself, closing his eyes with a smile underneath his mask.

"Third Match: Kirby VS Antonio!"

"Guess this is going to be a tough battle." Kirby sighed.

"Let make it a great battle." A green haired boy said with a smile.

"Fourth Match: Ash VS Burgundy!"

"What? This flat drink as my opponent? My target is Cilan. I'll make bow before me and taste a bunch of dirt when I beat you!" She said. Ash just looked disappointed while Cilan just smiled awkwardly.

"I'm looking forward to it." Cilan said with a sweat drop.

"Fifth Match: Trip VS Cilan!"

"But before that Burgundy, it seems I'm going to have to battle Trip first." commented.

"With my opponent being a gym leader, how can I say no to that match?" Trip said.

"Sixth Match: Stephen VS Bianca!"

"Hi! I'm Bianca! Are you Steven? Staphen?" She asked. Stephan just slumped down with a tear in his eye.

"Nice to meet you too." She uttered.

"Seventh Match: Luke VS Scooter!"

A Kid with dark haired man was smiling when a Camera got in front of him.

"Wh-what the?" He asked.

"Sorry, but I'm filming a documentary of this tournament, so please bear with me." Luke said while moving around him really fast with his camera pointed at him.

"Finally, the Eight Match: Iris VS Jimmy Ray!"

"Cool! I wonder who is Jimmy Ray." She asked and started to look around until she found a man in a Patrat suit. He had his hand raise before he dropped it and grinned at her with his fist in his face and a sparkle appeared in his teeth. She turned blue and had a freaked out face. "I got a bad feeling about this." She said.

"As a host, Don George will be commentating your battles." Freddy advice.

"Even if I do manage a Battle Club, I try my best to commentate over the battles, so please bear with me." Don said.

"Alright, let's us starts this Tournaments!" Freddy triumphantly yelled, getting everybody to cheer.

"First Match: Georgia versus Sylvester!" Don announced. Both trainers gave each others nods before both going to the end of the field and getting out a Pokeball.

"Let me explain the rules: In this tournament, you can only use one of the three Pokemon you registered and battle with it! You can't substitute your Pokemon during the battle." Freddy explained.

"No substitutions huh?" Cilan said.

"Things just a bit more interesting, I wonder what strategy should I use?" Ash uttered with a smile.

"As if you had one to begin with." Iris whispered to herself.

"Only one at a time? Perfect." Kirby said while lifting his hat and eyeing three Pokeballs.

"Iris, you little kid, watch carefully as I beat this guy." Georgia confidently said.

"Arceus, your annoying! I don't know who you are Sylvester, but do your best!" Iris yelled.

"Beartic, battle position!" Georgia screamed. It has bluish white fur with a shaggy tuft at its rear. Three spikes of ice hang from its lower jaw, forming a beard. Its face consists of a long snout, beady black eyes, and rounded ears, and its large fore paws have black claws and paw pads.

{I'm ready.} Beartic calmly claimed.

"When I think about it, I haven't scanned a Beartic." Kirby said. He took out his Pokedex and pointed at the large ice bear.

Beartic, the Freezing Pokemon. Beartic's frozen breath can create fangs and claws made of ice. It lives in frigid northern areas.

"Come out Joltik!" Sylvester holler. A small spider came out that has four legs tipped with blue and conical feet. Its ovoid body is completely covered in yellow fur, with notable tufts sticking out on each side of its face, just over each eye, and its lower back. It has four blue eyes, the two larger eyes are set relatively far apart on its face, containing black pupils, and the two smaller simple eyes are situated between the first pair, slightly higher up on its face.

{Ready!} She cheered.

"A Joltik?" Kirby question, pointing his Pokedex to the small four inch Pokemon.

Joltik, the Attaching Pokemon. Joltik cling to larger Pokemon, and absorb static electricity, storing the energy in a special pouch.

Beartic looked at the small Pokemon then dropped down and slammed his hands on the ground to glare at her.

"What the- isn't that impossible, size-wise?" Iris questioned.

"Really? This is going to be a easy win." Georgia said, "Squish it with Rock Smash!" Georgia instructed.

{Time to splatter you!} Beartic yelled. He stood up on two legs and turne arm turned completely bright red with white on his hand before he charged towards Joltik.

"Dodge it, Joltik!" Sylvester commanded.

{Okay, here I go!} She cheered and jumped above Beartic, who smashed his hand on the ground, and landed on the other side. {I'm over here!} She mocked. Beartic got back up and turned around before charging at her again, who jumped above him and landed on the other side.

{Agh, stay still!} He yelled.

{Na, na, nana, na.} Joltik laughed, jumping around dodging his swings.

"Even if Joltik size is small, it's has a good amount of speed to avoid Beartic's attacks." Don commented.

{Where'd you go?} Beartic asked after losing track of the small Pokemon. Joltik landed behind him then jumped on to his back and attach herself onto him.

"Thunderbolt!" Sylvester ordered.

{Here's a 'shock,' I'm on your back.} Joltik said. She release a strong electric bolt onto Beartic back directly.

{Agh!} Beartic cried while slugging forward.

"No way!" Georgia cried. Beartic closed his eyes in pain then slugged backwards before falling on his back. Beartic open his eyes fiercely while Joltik got out of Beartic's back with swirling eyes.

"What!?" Sylvester questioned.

"Joltik is unable to battle, Beartic wins! Therefore the winner is Georgia!" A Referee announce.

{Um... are you okay?} Beartic asked the tiny spider while scratching his head.

{I'm good.} She said.

"Did you see my power of a Dragon Buster, wanna be Dragon-user Iris." Georgia cheered.

"Is that even possible?" Iris asked.

{I feel sorry for Joltik.} Echo said.

{Such a small size getting knocked out because something was on it, is a disappointment.} Pikachu utter.

{What's done is done.} Eva said.


"Second Match: Dino Versus Meta Knight!" Don yelled. Kirby looked serious and watch Meta Knight walk up to the field with Dino on the other side.

"Go, Deerling!" Dino yelled. He threw out a Pokeball and a deer like Pokemon came out. The upper side of its body is pink, has a yellow patterned rim, and its underside is light beige. It sports a yellow floral tuft on its head, and similar yellow coloration on the insides of its tapering ears. The tips of its limbs are colored black and its pink tail is small.

{Let's do this!} Deerling yelled. Meta Knight nodded then took out a Pokeball.

"Druddigon, come out." Meta Knight called out throwing his Pokeball. The Pokeball release a bright light and a giant formed came out of it.. A large, blue, draconic Pokemon with medium-sized wings, shaped like thistle leaves. It has a bright red head and it has a set of glaring, ferocious pale yellow irises. Its arms are longer than its legs, giving it the appearance of a hunchback. It has a thick, moderately-sized tail and sharp claws on both the hands and feet. It also has tall, conical, red spikes; three on each arm, one on each shoulder, two on each leg, and four on its tail. It has a blunt, brutal snout, bearing a maw with no discernible teeth; instead, small fang-like protrusions sprout from its jaws and it has a series of olive, ellipsoid scutes running across its belly. The Dragon turned around and bowed to Meta Knight.

{I await you command master.} Druddigon told him.

"Battle Position, Druggigon." Meta Knight

{Understood.} He bowed and turned around before putting his up and glaring at his opponent.

"He has a Dragon-Type!" Iris yelled excitedly.

"And a very calm one too." Georgia said.

"A new Pokemon?" Kirby said.

{Looks like Meta Knight is a strong rival.} Pikachu utter.

{Wonder how Kirby feels, huh Echo... Echo?} Eva asked and she looked over to Echo, who kept looking at the Deerling with a tear in his eye. {Echo?} She called out. Echo ears perked up and he wiped his eye.

{Yea... sorry... just old memories popping up from his Deerling.} Echo said with a smile and looked over to the battle.

"Ready! BEGIN!" The Referee yelled.

"Deerling, Double Kick!" Dino commanded. Deerling ran up to Druddigon and prepared to kick him.

"Grab his legs!" Meta Knight ordered. Druddigon nodded and grabbed both Deerling's feet, surprising the Pokemon.

"What the- Deerling get out of there!" Dino yelled. Deerling started to struggle in Druddigon grasp.

"Looks like Deerling in a rough situation." Freddy commented.

"A Druddigon is know for it's aggressive personality, but this Druddigon is letting his trainer take charge. This means that Druddigon been well trained by his trainer." Don said.

"Spin him around and toss him in the air." Meta Knight instructed.

{Get ready to fly!} Druddigon yelled. He started to spin around with Deerling in his hands before tossing him straight into the air.

"Dragon Rage!" Meta Knight yelled. Druddigon took a deep breath and started to focus his energy around his stomach before he open and launched dark blue flame that formed into a Dragon. It head straight for Deerling and the dragon head ate him before exploding and sending Deerling fly back in front of his trainer.

"Deerling!" Dino screamed. Deerling laid there with swirling eyes.

"Deerling is unable to battle, Druddigon wins! Therefore Meta Knight goes to the next round.

"An astonishing one-hit KO from Meta Knight's Druddigon!" Freddy yelled.

"This means that Druggigon is a super strong Pokemon to defeat. I wonder how will other trainers handle Meta Knight and his Druddigon." Don questioned.

"Good work Druddigon." Meta Knight praised and walked up to him. He petted Druddigon head and took out a berry. "You deserve it." He said and gave it to him. Druddigon started to munch on it before he swallowed and bowed to him.

{Thank you, Master.} Druddigon thanked.

"Take a rest." Meta Knight said and returned Druddigon back inside his Pokeball then walked back into the stands.

"That was amazing." Iris said.

"And with one hit. He must be a Dragon-Type user to be able to control such a powerful Dragon-Type." Georgia added. Meta Knight took his seat across Kirby and looked over to him.

"Your next, Kirby." He said. Kirby just stared at him before getting up and walking towards the field.

{Good luck Kirby.} Echo encourage.

{Make sure you do your best.} Eva added. Kirby nodded and walked towards the field.


"Third Match: Antonio VS Kirby!"

"Let's have a great battle." Antonio said with his Pokeball pointing at him.

"Ditto." Kirby replied, taking out a Pokeball from his hat.

"Go, Tranquill!" He yelled, tossing his Pokeball and releasing his bird type.

"Soak, get ready to battle!" Kirby summoned. He tossed his Pokeball and a bright light came out of it, releasing Soak.

{AND! BEGIN!} The referee yelled and commenced the battle,

"Tranquill, use Air Cutter." Antonio ordered. Tranquill wings turned light blue and threw blue saws towards the Croc.

"Soak, use Water Gun on the Air Cutter and hit your mark." Kirby commanded. Soak took a deep breath before shooting out water towards all the saw blade with great accuracy and hit Tranquill in the stomach.

"That Totodile has great accuracy." Freddy commented.

"To have such good accuracy mean you had to control something in order to concentrate like that. This mean that this Totodile is trying concentrate on something." Don added.

"Hang in there Tranquill and use Aerial Ace!" Antonio ordered. Tranquill took off in the air before lunging herself towards the ground. She stayed like that until she position herself and headed straight for Soak.

"Water Gun on the ground and use a strong Ice Beam below you!" Kirby instructed. Soak looked down then spat out water, forcing him in the air while dodging and forcing Tranquill down into the ground, being soaked wet.

{Freeze!} He yelled and charged a giant crystal ball and shot it towards Tranquill. She turned around and saw the the crystal beam heading for her and was about to take off but her heavy, wet wings prevented her from flying. The crystal beam hit's it's make hard, freezing her back first before spreading and freezing her whole entire body along with the floor. The freezing continue until it made a smooth ice field. The referee slid over to Tranquill and saw her eyes replaced with swirls.

"Tranquill is unable to battle, the winner of the battle is Totodile!" The Referee announced.

"Nice work Soak!" Kirby cheered and ran to the field to catch him mid-air. The Totodile was breathing heavily and smiled at Kirby.

{I did good?} Soak asked.

"You did great Soak, take a very long rest. I might use you in our last battle." Kirby responded and hugged him. Soak had a small smile before he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Kirby put Soak down and took out his Pokeball and returned Soak back inside.


"Next is the Fourth Match: Ash VS Burgundy!" Don announced.

"All right, it's my turn now!" Ash cheered.

"Ash." Cilan called him. Ash turned around to look at Cilan. "Back when Burgundy fought me, she used a Dewott and a Sawsbuck." Cilan warned.

"Who are you going to use Ash? Tepig or Snivy? Or are you going to use Pikachu?" Iris asked.

"Don't get too ahead of yourself Iris. We know that he will let Pikachu fight, but we don't know his other two Pokemon." Kirby said, having a crayon box in front of him and Echo drawing something while Eva was using a pencil with a lot of tracing.

"Kirby's right, plus, I want to test out someone in this tournament." Ash replied. He looked over to Pikachu and kneeled down. "Your turn will come later Pikachu, so for now, rest and..." He looked over to Echo and put a green crayon back inside the box and took out a blue crayon out. "Draw with Echo for now." Ash said.

{Alright.} Pikachu said and walked up to Echo. He asked for a piece of paper and Echo passed one to him and gave him a box of color pencils. {Why do you have these?} Pikachu asked.

{I'm bored and ask Echo for something to do. So he said to draw something for now.} Echo said with a smile. Pikachu looked over to Eva with a confuse eyes and she just shrugged.

{Alright, pass me a pencil.} He said and Echo gave him a #2 Pencil. Ash smiled at the interaction then jumped over the fence to the field.

"Wait, Ash! I wonder what Pokemon is he gonna test out?" Iris asked.

"Well, Ash does create a mysterious flavor after all." Cilan said.

"Let him be, Ash is strong." Kirby retaliated.

"That's because of you Kirby." Iris replied.

"He's been getting a ton of secret training done with you and your Pokemon." Cilan added.

"How much work have you done with him?" Iris asked.

"My methods are extreme but I want you guys to watch and see how it will go." Kirby whispered.

"What was that?" Iris asked.

"JUST WATCH HIM!" Kirby yelled which cause both Iris and Cilan to flinch.

"Calm down Kirby, we're all excited to see how Ash will battle." Stephan said.

"I bet it's really exciting to watch him fight." Bianca added.

"Maybe, but his battle technique is very messed up." Trip retaliated.

"A battle cannot be messy, if it's how they usually fight." Meta Knight told Trip.

"I'm expecting a lot from Ash, I need this recording." Luke utter, pointing his camera at the field.

Kirby looked at them with curious eyes before he smiled and looked back.

"He does show a very interesting battle." Kirby said and looked over to Ash.

"Hey Burgundy, let's give them a battle they won't forget!" Ash yelled to her.

"All I want to do is teach that stupid Connoisseur, Cilan, a lesson, so I have no time to taste you!" Burgundy argued.

"What I want to do is win this tournament and win the Nimbasa City Gym too!" Ash confidently said.

"You arrogant trainers and you silly dreams? Well whatever, if you lose this fight, you will have to replace your Pokemon on hand this time." Burgundy bet on.

"Not that again!" Ash complained.

"Come out my new vintage, Stoutland!" Burgundy summoned and tossed her Pokeball. A Large Dog came out of it's Pokeball. On its face, it has cream-colored fur that forms voluminous, white-tipped plumes and a three-pointed crest. The plumes are so long that they run the length of its body and bunch close to it. It has tufty, pointed ears with dark blue insides, and black nose surrounded by short black whiskers, and small eyes that are nearly hidden behind its facial fur. Its body is covered with shaggy fur that is dark blue along the back and grayish blue toward the legs an its face and paws are light brown, and each paw has three toes with white claws.

{I'm ready!} Stoutland said.

"Bonjour, it's new reevaluating time! And the connection I have with my Stoutland is perfection." Burgundy warned.

"Scoutland?" Both Kirby and Ash asked and took out their Pokedex.

Stoutland, the Big-Hearted Pokemon and the evolved form of Herdier. Stoutland is very wise and is skilled in rescuing people stranded in the mountains or at sea.

Both Eva and Kirby kept looking at the image before Kirby drew a tear and started to laugh with Eva, leaving everyone confuse.

"Not sure how will Rammus react but let's see how Ash is gonna do against this Pokemon." Kirby said and Eva nodded.

"It is a strong opponent." Cilan added.

"Who is Ash going to use?" Iris wondered.

"Alright, let's do this! Palpitoad, I choose you!" Ash yelled. Everybody had a questionable look on their face and let out a gasp except Kirby, Echo, Eva and Pikachu.

"Palpitoad? This seems to be a very interesting choice." Freddy announced.

"Stoutland is a Normal-Type, while Palpitoad is both a Water and Ground-Type, so I bet it's gonna be a exciting match." Don announced.

"What? Did you already replace all of your Pokemon? Well, I have to say, your Pokemon has a very muddy taste." Burgundy said.

"I didn't replaced them Burgundy. This is my new Pokemon." Ash yelled.

"What?" Burgundy asked.

"And this will be his first official battle, and besides, it will be a good chance to test out our new combo!" Ash announced.

"You got guts, wanting to test your abilities against a Connoisseur like me. You might as well forfeit now and try again later." Burgundy suggested.

"I'll start! Palpitoad, use Mud Shot!" Ash ordered. Palpitoad jumped to the air and stuck out his long red tongue and turned it light brown. Then he whipped it to release a series of mud balls towards Stoutland, landing a powerful hit on him and smearing mud all over his fur.

"And Palpitoad lands a clear hit onto Stoutland." Freddy announced.

"How dare you smear mud all over Stoutland's face!" Burgundy yelled. Stoutland shook his head to clear the mud away then glared at Palpitoad. "Use Tackle Stoutland!" Burgundy ordered and the heartful dog lunged himself forward and struck Palpitoad swiftly in the air. "Now use Thunder Fang!" Burgundy she order next. Stoutland runs up to Palpitoad again and open his mouth wide to release a series of sparks and bit him. Palpitoad remained confused with his smile.

{Ha! You do realize that Thunder moves won't work on me.} Palpitoad mocked.

{I know that!} Stoutland growled.

"Stoutland land a powerful electric hit on Palpitoad, but it seems it did no effect!" Freddy exclaimed.

"Well, Palpitoad is a Ground-Type, so no wonder it has no effect on him." Don said.

"You know that Thunder-Type moves don't work on Ground-Types, don't you Burgundy?" Kirby asked.

"I know that, it's a part of my plan! Now Stoutland, follow it up with Ice Fang!" Burgundy commanded. Stoutland landed on the ground and started to glow bright light blue. Ice then started to developed around Palpitoad.

{Oh my Arceus!} Palpitoad yelled and started to struggle.

"What?" Ash questioned.

"Palpitoad won't be able to move is he is completely frozen!" Cilan yelled. Trip just glared and closed his eyes.

"It's all over for him." He said.

"Come on Ash!" Iris cheered.

"You can do it!" Stephan added.

"Is he gonna lose? Is he?" Bianca questioned.

"It depends if he can find a way out of this situation Bianca." Meta Knight said. He looked over to Kirby who was just looking at Ash with calm eyes. Pikachu looked over to the battle and placed his pencil down quick and stood up.

{DON'T GIVE UP ASH!} He yelled. Ash looked a irritated as he watched Palpitoad being frozen bit by bit.

"Mhuahahaa! What do you think of Stoutland's surprising dessert menu? Its a perfect taste to freeze your Palpitoad." Burgundy

"What do I do?" Ash asked himself. He looked over to Kirby who just kept looking at him with his calm eyes the remembered his training.


Flashback.

Ash had his Palpitoad and was fighting against Kirby's Totodile, Soak.

"Soak, close in and use Ice Fang!" Kirby commanded. Soak ran up to Palpitoad quickly and bite his side before lifting him and started to freeze him.

"Palpitoad!" Ash yelled.

"You got to think fast Ash, and remember to stay calm or your Pokemon will feel your panic too." Kirby instructed. Ash just watch his Palpitoad continue to freeze and was about to lose to it until Ash knew what move he should call out.


"Palpitoad, use Supersonic!" He commanded. Palpitoad looked over to him with a smile then open his mouth wide. Multiple sound waves started to come out and caused Stoutland to let go and break Palpitoad free.

{Nice Job Ash.

"Nice work Ash!" Stephan screamed.

"Nicely done." Meta Knight commented.

"Ash and Palpitoad are in perfect sync now." Cilan said.

{Thank Arceus.} Pikachu sighed. Palpitoad landed in front of Ash with a smile while Stoutland just growled.

"I saw that move coming a mile away. Stoutland, Tackle!" Burgundy instructed. Stoutland ran up to Palpitoad and slammed his body onto him and knocked him up into the air. "Now use Fire Fang!" She yelled next. Stoutland crouch before he push himself up into the air and engulfed his teeth with flames. Palpitoad watched him get close while Cilan, Iris, and Pikachu watch in horror. Ash just watch again and tried to remember a advice Kirby gave him.


Flashback.

Ash had Palpitoad in front of him while Kirby had his Cyndaquil, Kindle.

"Kindle, use Smokescreen!" Kirby ordered and she release a big puff of black smoke around Palpitoad.

"Not this again!" Ash yelled.

"Same Strategy, Same Tactics. Figure out how to counter a repeated strategy." Kirby told him.

"How to counter it?" Ash asked himself. Kirby just stared before he sighed and nodded and Kindle he release a small sized ember. Ash eyes widen before he figured it out.


"Your tricks won't work again! Palpitoad, Mud Shot into his mouth!" Ash counter. Palpitoad got out his tongue and surrounded it with light brown energy before he whipped it around and release a series of Mud towards the flying Dog. Some Mud missed it's marked before a three pieces of mud hit it's face and one entered it's mouth to create a giant explosion. Stoutland land roughly on the ground trying to cough out the dirt inside him.

"Get on your feet Stoutland and spit out that dirt as quickly as possible." Burgundy ordered. Ash just tilted his head forward and formed a huge smirk,

"Now Palpitoad! Use Hydro Pump!" Ash commanded. Palpitoad landed in front of him before he stomach puffed up and he release a large stream of water towards Stoutland, who watched the attack get close and slammed him. It started to push him away from the field and caused him to crash into the wall.

"Stoutland!" Burgundy yelled in concern. The water stream ended and reveal the big-heart dog with swirled eyes and his fur completely wet with it's surrounding as well. "No way..." She whispered and walked towards Stoutland.

"Stoutland is unable to battle, Palpitoad wins! Therefore the winner is Ash Ketchum!" The Referee announced. Both Ash and Palpitoad ran up to each with smile and the trainer kneeled down to the Pokemon.

"We did it Palpitoad!" Ash claimed.

{We were awesome!} Palpitoad exclaimed.

"You were great Stoutland, plus, your smell reminds me of a Lillipup soaked by the rain." Burgundy commented as she hugged the large with dog, who had a giant smile.

"Ash did it!" Stephan cheered.

"He did it! He did it!" Bianca cheered along with him.

"Maybe luck was by his side." Trip argued while getting off his seat.

"I wouldn't say that." Meta Knight said, then looked over to Kirby, who was jumping around and was cheering for .

"He was amazing!" Kirby exclaimed. Pikachu, Echo, Eva, and Axew cheering for Ash's victory.

"Palpitoad won his first battle!" Cilan cheered.

"Your next Cilan." Iris told him.

"Your right, and as a Pokemon Connoisseur, I want to show a even more exciting battle than Ash." Cilan told her. Cilan walked off to field while Ash jumped over the reeling again and sat back in his place.

"Nice work Ash." Kirby told him.

"It was all thanks to the special training you gave me." Ash said.

"I guess, but now it's Cilan's turn against Trip." Kirby informed him.

"Yea, I wonder how is he gonna do?" Ash questioned. He looked over to Pikachu who picked up a piece of paper and showed it to Echo who was clapping at the picture then continue to draw his. "Hey Pikachu, what did you draw?" Ash asked. Pikachu smiled at the question and ran up to Ash with the piece of paper and showed it to Ash and Kirby. It was a Pikachu licking a red ketchup bottle. Ash and Kirby just looked at each other before they smiled. Kirby gave a signal that he was gonna check on his Pokemon and Ash nodded before getting Pikachu on his shoulder and walking up to the fence to watch Cilan's battle.

"Hey Echo, what did you draw?" Kirby asked. Echo lifted it and showed a grass field with him, Kirby, and Eva enjoying a meal.

{Does it look good?} He asked.

"Yes it does Echo, now come on, before Cilan's battle start, I wanna see what Eva drew." Kirby said. Echo nodded before putting the picture inside the bag and walked with Kirby. Eva was peacefully drawing and had no interruption. She started to have a fantasy of her and Echo under a moonlight and them almost kissing.

"Um... Eva?" Kirby called out. Eva fantasy broke and she looked heart broken.

[So... close.] She thought. She looked at Kirby with annoyed eyes and her arms crossed. {What is it?} She asked.

"Can we see your drawing?" Kirby asked. She grew frustrated at Kirby questioned and was about to slap him with her vine before she looked at the picture she drew and her eyes widen. It was a drawing of the fantasy she was dreaming about, but her and Echo were actually kissing each other. Echo climb up the bleacher and was about to reach for the paper until Eva grabbed the paper first. She used Aqua Tail to soak the ripped paper then ripped it quickly before slicing it into smaller pieces with Leaf Blade. Kirby was about to speak about her action, but was slapped by Eva across the face with a Vine Whip, and face planted on the ground. Kirby recovered from the slapped and just looked at Eva with teary eyes.

"Why did you do that?" He asked holding his cheek.

{THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESSES!} She yelled at him then walked away from them while covering her red face. Echo and Kirby looked at each other before they just shrugged and walked up next to Ash to watch Cilan's battle.

"Next is the Fifth Round: Cilan VS Trip!" They announced. Stay Tuned!
