Chapter 43
After spending the night at the Pokemon Center and getting ready for the big day (not to mention avoiding Rusty), Team RWBY are at the Violet Town Dome where the Pokemon Showcase is gonna happen. Ruby and Yang are sitting in their seats with the audience as they wait in anticipation. Weiss and Blake are in the dressing room and are getting ready with the outfits they had in their first performance. Blake tries to stay calm and meditate a little to relax and focus. Weiss tries to remember everything she learned when she used to sing so she'll be ready. She takes a deep breath, smiles, and is now ready. However, they did meet some old friends.
Not only that, there is a walkway like something from a fashion show.
On stage, the lights went out and a spotlight shines down in a veil of pink smoke and falling pink rose petals.
"Bonjour!" says a familiar voice. "And welcome to the Violet Town Rookie-class Pokemon Showcase! Where dreams become reality and every maiden has a chance to become queen!" The smoke clears and the petals stop falling to reveal the host. "I am your host and dream guide, Monsieur Pierre! I invite all of you at home, as well as the audience, to be part of a beauty unsurpassed anywhere else. Our performers will fill you all with magnificence, awe, and delight."
The audience cheer for Monsieur Pierre's appearance. Ruby and Yang clap as well. Klefki then float around Pierre while showing off a golden key with a violet-shaped jewel and a red colored bow with pink petals.
"As you can see, this is a Princess Key. The Grand Prize for today's competition!" Then three holograms of keys appear overhead. "When the pokemon performer wins all three keys, they can enter the Master-class Competition where they compete to become the New Found Queen!" The holograms transforms into a giant tiara then disappears. "For today's theme performance..."
A swirling hologram appears and about to take shape. Then it splits into three to reveal the theme performance. The first is a top hat, the second is a bow, and the last appears to be a monocle.
"Pokemon Styling! That is right! Our performers will stylize their pokemon with the latest fashion and walk on this fabuleux walkway!"
The audience go ooh and awe after hearing that.
"Weiss got this in the bag." Ruby says with a smile. Hoping that Weiss will win since Weiss is of noble birth...in a certain way.
"Dream on, sis." Yang elbows her little sister. "Blake is gonna win."
Ruby then turns he head towards Yang. "Wanna bet?"
"Now please welcome to our first round of performers!" Three more spotlights shine down on the first three performers that will be Jasmine with her Ivysaur, Weiss with Tilly, and May with her Skitty.
"Hey, look!" Ruby points. "It's May!"
"Never thought she would be interested in something like this."
An hourglass hologram appears overhead at the stage with three closed-up gazebo-like structures where the performances are going to doll-up their pokemon.
"Now performers, please go inside and get your pokemon ready for their fashion walk to awe-inspire the audience."
The performers went inside and have the doors closed behind them. Inside, there is a variety of ribbons, bows, jewelry, fabrics, and clothing tools. They await for Monsieur Pierre to start.
"Are the performers ready? Trois, Deux, Un, GO!" The holographic hourglass starts to drain as there are silhouette shadows of the performers and their pokemon inside the gazebos. Concealing their designs from each other.
They are all getting ready the best they can do before time runs out. In the meantime, Ruby is checking the new pokemon she saw with her megadex and Yang leans over to see. (Yes I am skipping.) After seeing those pokemon, Ruby starts to fawn over May's Skitty.
After a few minutes, and the performers doing the secret finishing touches, time is up.
"Time is up! Performer's put down your tools. Now for the first to show their taste in fashion, Jasmine!"
The door of the first Gazebo opens and comes out Jasmine and her Ivysaur that has his bulb in a form of a bouquet of flowers with roses, marigolds, lavender, and lilies. Ivysaur also has a few petals painted on his body to give him a spring feeling. The two walk down the walkway to show off their stuff.
"Jasmine has given her Ivysaur a flower makeover that goes well with her Ivysaur's flowering bulb. Like a field of flowers in spring-time."
After they reached the end of the walkway, Ivysaur gives a twirl and pose along with Jasmine. Then they proceed back to their position. Up next is May. May's Skitty is given a pink ballerina outfit that matches Skitty's colors along with a bow, a white and pink stripped ribbon at the tail, and some blush makeup. Ruby then fawns over May's Skitty again and saying how cute and adorable it is. May's Skitty then does a few fancy twirls with her back paws until they made it to the end of the walkway where Skitty starts juggling.
"Quelle est la particularité! May's not only showing her Skitty's fashionable attire, but also showing both its adorableness and talents! She is using this to her advantage to win the hearts and minds of the audience!"
"Hey Ruby, I think she may win this round while Weiss will be Skitty!" (And I may need help with pokemon puns for Yang)
Ruby keeps on looking at Skitty, unable to hear Yang's bad puns.
"Oh come on!"
At the end, Skitty does cartwheels along with May back at the gazebos.
"Now it is Princess Weiss's turn. Time to show the world your style!"
The door opens to reveal Weiss and Tilly. What they all see has made them all awestruck. When Tilly comes out, she is wearing a glittering frilly teal dress that closely matches her blue coloration. There is a white transparent and glittery ribbon tied in a bow close to the waist. There is also a tiara on her head to give her a more princess appearance. Tilly looks so elegant and dignified that she looks like a pokemon princess from a fairy tale. The audience is unable to say anything as they are completely speechless and unable to say anything. Even Pierre is having a hard time saying anything.
"I...I have no idea what to say." Monsieur Pierre doesn't know what to say and is very hesitant as Tilly and Weiss walked elegantly on the walkway. "Th-th-this is... We are looking at something that is beyond magnifique! To be honest, this is the first time I am speechless!"
After the two did their walk and bow to the audience, they head back with the other performers who are stunned. The audience is also stunned on how radiant Tilly is with that outfit that Weiss made. Even Ruby and Yang are awestruck.
"I knew Weiss has taste, but dang." Yang says as she keeps staring.
"You can say that again." Ruby responded.
"Now spectateurs, please pull out your glowcasters and vote for who do you think is the most fashionable! Un, Deux, Trois!" Weiss is white (obviously), May is pink, and Jasmine is light blue.
Everyone raised their glowcasters to cast their votes. Lots of glowing orbs are seen in the air and float their way to the heart-shape holograms over the performers' heads. Ruby and Yang have voted for Weiss and await the results. The hearts are being filled pretty fast until the very last orb is gone.
"And the winner of the first round is..." Drum roll and 10 second pause for dramatic effect. "Princess Weiss!"
The holographic hearts show that it is a close call between May and Weiss with Weiss having a two point advantage. It is very close. With that the showcase continues on with many performers showing off their fashion sense with their pokemon. Some are beautiful, some are cute, some are awesome and some are just plain silly. Some include a Wobbuffet wearing clown makeup and a wig that matches its performer. Another being a Chansey that looks like a princess but not as elegant and dignified as Tilly was.
Now it is Blake's turn. Will she win with whatever outfit her Frogadier will wear? Or will she crash and burn? Stay tune.
AN: Hey Pokemon & RWBY lovers! Hope you enjoy this new chapter!
