Chapter 45
Blake has lost the theme-style performance in the Violet Town Pokemon Showcase. Now it is Weiss' turn again in the upcoming free-style performance along with Ariel and Alouette. (If you don't know who that is, check bulbapedia. Trust me, you'll know.) Weiss is getting ready in the dressing room and makes sure her outfit is a hundred percent perfect. Blake then join with Yang and Ruby and is greeted by Franklin.
"Franklin?" she says in surprise. "When did you get here?"
"I've been here for a while. Sorry about your loss, Blake." Franklin got up to shake her hand.
Blake shakes his hand before sitting down. "Thanks. But I'm okay. Hope to win my next ribbon."
Franklin chuckles a little. "Then that will make us rivals when the contest starts."
"Huh?"
"Monsieurs and mademoiselles! Now it is time for the Free-style Performance!"
The audience cheered for the Free-style Performance that is about to start. Yang, Ruby, and Blake are on the edge of their seats to see what is gonna happen. Franklin has taken an interest to see what these girls are made of.
"Give it up for our first performer, Princess Alouette!" Alouette is the first to appear along with her Pharaoh Trim Furfrou, a Mime Jr., and a rare super-size Gourgeist.
"I've seen her before." Franklin says.
"You have?" Ruby asked as she turns her head.
"From Kalos. I've seen her perform a few times and she made it to the Master-class. But she flunked after the first round."
"Yikes." Yang went. "Is the Master-class that brutal?"
"Just you wait."
Alouette's Furfrou has Mime Jr. on its back jumps through hoops that Gourgeist is making with its hair. Alouette then toss some hoops in the air that Gourgeist spins and flies through without fail. Then Mime Jr. starts juggling pink balls that Alouette is tossing with its psychic powers while Gourgeist prepares a shadow ball. Furfrou is ready with a charge beam. Mime Jr. tossed the balls in the air with Gourgeist firing the shadowball that gets caught in the center of the circling pink balls that later gets hit with Furfrou's charge beam.
There was a huge explosion that is later followed by falling pink petals that were freed from the pink balls thanks to the explosion. Falling with the petals are purple and yellow glitter and sparkles with some static. The audience applause for Alouette's performance as she and her pokemon take a bow.
"That was awesome!" Ruby says as she claps.
"I almost felt like we were at the circus." Yang stated.
"Let's see if your friend can do better." Franklin says as he waits for Weiss' next performance.
"Now give a warm welcome to our next performer, Princess Weiss!"
Weiss is next-up on stage and she is there with her Elsa (Amaura), Billy (Shiny Glaceon), Tilly (Shiny Sylveon), and Vert (Deerling). The spotlight shine down on them with the audience eagerly waiting.
"Vert, use aromatherapy! Elsa, use powder snow!" Weiss ordered. Vert's flower on top of her head glows bright gold and releases a sparkling yellow-green powder all over the stage while Billy and Tilly are doing some sort of waltz.
Their bodies become outlined in light-green and waves of green light move up their bodies. Elsa releases powder snow all over the stage to give it a nice light-blue powder that overlays the aromatherapy and coating both pokemon with pretty green and blue glitter. Weiss joins in and does some ballerina dancing. Vert and Elsa sing as the three dance in the misty dance stage.
"Now use fairy wind, thunder wave, icy wind, and aromatherapy for the big finish!" Elsa, Vert, Billy & Tilly looked up in the air and did what they were ordered to do.
Their moves collide in the air and form a huge cloud. But from this smoke cloud, comes snowflakes. Yellow, cyan, green, and pink snowflakes fall from the ceiling as the audience are in total awe by what they see. Some of the young children try to reach for the snowflakes and catch them as the adults pull out their hands to catch the cold beauties. When they catch them, they see the unique patterns of every single snowflake and are taken in by their beauty.
But beauty has to fade. After a few seconds, the snowflakes start to melt in their hands and become regular water. Weiss and her pokemon took a bow as they are done. The audience cheered louder than Alouette's performance, which means that Weiss may have a chance at winning.
"That was interesting." Franklin says with great interest. "I should take notes for Pokemon Contests. Who knew that moves like that can create such wonder."
"Weiss is gonna win for sure!" Ruby assure that Weiss is gonna win. "But don't forget our bet Yang."
Yang crosses her arms and rolls her eyes while making a sour face.
Blake looks at the two in confusion. "What bet? What are you two talking about?"
"And now, monsieurs and mademoiselles! Please give a warm welcome to our final performer, Princess Ariel!"
Ariel is in her mermaid outfit with her pokemon; Swellegant, Snover, Medicham, and Brionne. She raises her arms and goes, "Brionne and Swellegant, use aqua jet!"
Both pokemon jump off the stage and are surrounded by water as they go around the stage and sprinkle some water on the audience. When the audience look back at the stage, Ariel is levitated into the air by Medicham with Snover using powder snow on the aqua jets. While in the air, the aqua jets are surrounded by snowflakes and give off a pretty light blue glow. Next, Medicham 'dropped' Ariel which the audience gasp as she is falling. But she is caught by one of the aqua jets as they cross each other.
The audience are full of suspense as they keep an eye on both aqua jets. Ariel jumps out of one of the first aqua jet and does some aerial tricks until she is caught by one of the aqua jets. Snover then makes energy balls along with Medicham creating focus blasts. The two pokemon shoot at the aqua jet, much to the audience shock after Ariel jumps out of the aqua jet again. One of the aqua jet's snowflakes started to turn green while the other is yellow. Ariel is caught by the yellow aqua jet over the audience. The crowd cheers from the excitement after what they just witness.
"She is good!" Ruby says as she applause.
"Must have been a lot of time training and practicing to perfect this daring stunt." Blake noticed.
"Hope Weiss still has a chance to win." Yang says as she keeps an eye on where Ariel is.
"I wouldn't be so sure of that." Franklin says as he continues to watch.
For the finishing, Snover prepares a solar beam while Medicham does sunny day. The two aqua jets cross each other as Snover fires the solar beam. With the sun created by Medicham shines over the stage, the combine moves have given Brionne and Swellegant a glowing golden color along wth the sparkling water sprinkling all over. Even Ariel is giving a golden glow as she sits on her golden Swellegant and waving at the audience in the air and Brionne doing a pose on top of Swellegant's head.
The audience jump up off their seats and cheered so loud that it echoed throughout the stadium. Which may spell trouble for Weiss' chance of winning.
The Pokemon Showcase is drawing to a close, the three performers are standing on stage with Pierre. So you can guess what is going to happen next.
"Now monseiurs and madomoiselles!" Pierre says over the microphone. "It is time to vote on which performer would win the princess key and will be one step closer to entering the Master-class and one step closer to becoming New Found Queen! So everyone, prepare your glowcasters to cast your vote. Un...Deux...Trois!"
Everyone in the audience cast their vote as three colored orbs are seen flying through the stadium. Weiss is white, Ariel is light blue, and Alouette is red. The holographic hearts start to fill over the heads of the performers with each orb that is collected. After a few seconds and all the votes have been casted. It is now time to declare the winner.
"And the winner is..." Drum roll, please? "Princess Ariel!" Ariel has beaten Weiss by one vote and is declared the winner.
"Uggh!" Ruby falls back on her chair and is upset. "She was so close!"
Yang looks back at Franklin with an angry look, "Did you vote for Weiss?!"
Franklin back away with hands up, "I did!" He is really frighten by Yang's angry glare. "I did vote for Weiss." He then pulls up his glowcaster to prove his innocents. The glowcaster is glowing white which means he did voted for white.
Blake place her hand on Yang's shoulder. "It's alright, Yang. There is always next time."
Yang turns back with her arms crossed. "At least we still have the Pokemon Contest."
"You girls are entering the contest?" Franklin asked.
The three looked back at him. "Yeah." Ruby responded. "Why?"
"Because I'll be entering it."
With the Pokemon Showcase drawing to a close, the team went back to the Pokemon Center.
During the evening, Team RWBY finish-up on what they are planning to do at the contest. Weiss is brushing her hair, Ruby is reading a book on her bunk, Blake is checking her megadex for more information, and Yang is doing push-ups. When they are finishing their evening prep before going to bed, there is a knock at their door.
"Come in." Weiss says as she puts down her brush.
The door opens to reveal Nurse Joy and Franklin with a sack over his shoulder.
"I do apologize." she says with a bow. "But we ran out of room and I was hoping you wouldn't mind having another roommate."
"Sure." Ruby shrugs.
"No way." Weiss disapproves.
"Why not?" Blake looked at Weiss.
"Because he's a boy! And this room is full of girls! We can't have a boy sleeping in an all girls' room!" Weiss made a valid point.
"It's okay." Franklin says, "I'll just sleep under a tree again."
"I think not." Yang stood up. "I think that...How old are you?"
"Thirteen." he responded.
"Fair enough."
"Are you kidding!?" Weiss protested.
"Oh come on, Weiss." Yang says to Weiss. "He's younger than Ruby and the guy needs a roof over his head. Plus it is going to be cold tonight."
Weiss gave a groan. "Alright, alright. But he is sleeping on the floor."
"I'm fine with that."
With that, Franklin unrolls a sleeping mat and everyone went to bed.
AN: Hey everyone! It has been a while! But I have both good news and bad. Good, I got a new laptop and transfer everything from my laptop's old memory card to my new laptop. Bad news, some of my data has been corrupted. Including the majority of this fanfiction. Which means I have to rebuild everything from scratch. Make a new map, back track the pokemon and moves that Team RWBY has, the lore of New Found Region, and not to mention the future plans I have for the series. So it is going to be longer to get this series back-up and going.
However, I am going to do a new series real soon. It will be rated T at first but will become M depending how far I am going in with the story.
But enough said; time for some answers to questions:
Mara the Wolf: The fan-games I am using are Pokemon Sage, Pokemon Solar Light & Lunar Dark, and Pokemon Uranium. I am hoping to include Pokemon Spectrum, but I have to wait until they organize their pokedex and get information on their pokemon. There are wikias for these fan-games but Pokemon Sage's is capx wikia for some weird reason. As for Pokemon Contest Spectacular, I don't know much about it. Only know stuff from the anime.
ChimaTigon: Only one of them will go in. Not both.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, & HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY
