Chapter 4
Author Notes
Hey everyone! I was pleasantly surprised to see the amount of reviews that my fanfiction received. I'm going to try my hardest to make this story amazing.
This chapter will further add Lyn deciding what she may pursue along with Bonnie getting a new traveling companion joining and a Showcase that Lyn watches that will lead to some character development.
With that let's Chapter 4 begin!
James and Jenna is thegirlwholived91 OC's
Disclaimer- I do not own Pokemon unfortunately. All of its characters belong to Nintendo but I do own all of my OCs.
Bonnie was still sleeping peacefully in the pokemon center.
When suddenly her Torchic got bored and decided to do what it usually did.
Torchic then started to peck Bonnie's face.
"OW!"
Bonnie got up and started getting ready to explore the town.
Bonnie changed into her outfit and then went to have breakfast.
She then finished her food and then went to go look around.
"Torchic was it really necessary to peck me in the face," Bonnie grumbled.
Torchic just started to laugh at Bonnie.
"Stop laughing it is not funny," Bonnie yelled at her pokemon.
Torchic just continued to laugh at Bonnie.
Bonnie and Torchic then started to fight each other.
After they finished fighting each other's they had bruises and marks all over them.
"Well how about we all head out to that school that Viola told us about."
All of her pokemon then all started to cheer at her response.
They then all started walking toward the school.
Bonnie then arrived at the school.
"What are the base-set moves for Chespin," Bonnie heard.
"What the heck," Bonnie looked around.
"Tackle and growl," someone else said.
"What level does it learn vine whip?"
"Level 5," a voice said.
"Did you all hear that," Bonnie asked her pokemon.
All of her pokemon nodded so they followed the sound of the voices until they saw them. 5 young men around her age were all wearing suit like uniforms with a green symbol on the left chest area. They were all standing around a smaller boy wearing the same uniform. The 5 larger boys were all holding candles while the smaller boy had two large text book size books over his head.
"What level does Chespin evolve," one of the larger book said.
"Uh level 34?"
"Wrong! Add more books." Two of the other books boys each put another large book in the smaller boy hand as he started to shake.
"Come on guys, I can't hold all of these!"
"Then you should have studied more, keep this up and you'll never graduate."
"What are they doing to that kid," Bonnie asked her pokemon. All of Bonnie's pokemon stepped forward
"Hey why don't you leave this kid alone," Bonnie said. The 5 young boys turned toward Bonnie. They walked forward and surround Bonnie.
"Why don't you go and mind your own business," one of them in a threatening tone.
"You can't just bully someone around like that," Bonnie said. The younger boy was amazed that this stranger was trying to help him.
"Alright how about we teach this girl a lesson," the head boy said.
The boy to Bonnie's right tried to throw a punch at Bonnie. Bonnie took the boy hand and she then kicked him where the sun doesn't shine. The boy then fell to the ground and all the other boys were shocked at what just happened. All of Bonnie's pokemon surrounded her and were ready to protect her.
"Uh, well we have class to go so let's go," the head boy said. He then ran off and all of the other boys were following him. Bonnie looked at her pokemon who looked a little freaked out. They were all shocked at what their trainer was able to do.
The younger boy dropped the book and slowly walked over to Bonnie.
"Thanks for doing that, I don't know how much longer I could have held those books."
"Your welcome, but who are you and who were those bullies," Bonnie asked.
"My name is Fabian and those guys were upperclassmen."
"My name is Bonnie and these are all of my pokemon."
All of her pokemon then welcomed her.
"Upperclassmen," Bonnie asked.
"Do you know where you are at," Fabian asked.
"We are at the Santalune School," Bonnie stated.
"Well we are at Santalune Academy and it is one of the most prestigious Schools in all of Kalos. Pokemon Schools train students in the studies of pokemon and the different careers. Upon graduation they are given direct entrance into the pokemon league," Fabian told her.
"That doesn't seem fair, it is almost like buying your way into the Pokemon league," Bonnie replied.
"It is not quite that simple, to graduate you have to pass all of your classes and exams. Some of them are harder than most gym leaders."
"I doubt that, my big brother is extremely strong," Bonnie told him.
"Who is your big brother," Fabian asked.
"My big brother is Clemont and he is the Lumiose City gym leader."
"That is so amazing!"
Bonnie then looked around the campus of building. Around the campus were dozens of young boys and girls wearing the same uniform as Fabian. Many of the students were practicing battles with their pokemon.
"So why were those upperclassmen doing that to you?"
"The upperclassmen are always doing things like that. They say that they are trying to help us though."
"That isn't helping, that is bullying," Bonnie told him.
"It will get better when I move up a grade. You see at the end of a class, you take an exam. It involves both a written part and a battle against an instructor. If you pass you move on to grade two and you have the equivalent of two badges. In grade two you have to pass two classes each of the value of one badge each. In grade 3 you have 3 classes to pass to get another badge. And the process goes on all the way up to grade 8 with 8 badges."
"What grade are you in?"
"I am a grade two, and my exams are coming up and I've been trying to study."
"So what grade were those boys in," Bonnie asked.
"They are in their third grade."
Bonnie and her pokemon seemed confused. "That makes them upperclassmen?"
"In this school it does," Fabian replied.
"Who thought of that idea?"
"The entire idea of their assistance to us second graders was made by the top third grade student, Xavier and Yvonne Draco." Fabian then took out a picture.
"Wait a minute they do all of this to you and you carry a picture around of them?"
"Yvonne isn't very nice but I think she is really pretty." Bonnie then looked at the picture and she recognized the two faces of the people she battle two days ago.
"Well I say we meet them," Bonnie said angrily.
"I don't know they usually don't listen to anyone below their skill level as a trainer. And they are very strong trainers."
"Well Fabian is there anything that I can do to help you?"
"Actually there is, you see I've been doing alright on the written exams. But whenever I try to do a real battle I always seem too mess up. You sound like a seasoned trainer so could you give me some hands on training?"
"Of course I could," Bonnie said. Fabian led her into one of the buildings. The building interior had several battlefields with a few other students having battles.
Bonnie walked over to one side of the battlefield and Fabian went to the other.
"Alright let's give Fabian a great battle, go Flabebe!" Flabebe started dancing around Bonnie.
"A Flabebe cool. Alright go Audino," A pink and cream pokemon with blue eyes appeared alongside Fabian.
Bonnie then opened her pokedex and scanned Audino.
Audino, the Hearing Pokemon
It touches others with the feelers on its ears, using the sound of their heartbeats to tell how they are feeling.
"Alright Audino start off with your double slap attack." Audino then walked toward Flabebe and slapped her twice in the flower.
"Flabebe start off with your fairy wind attack." Flabebe spun her flower around as a pink glittering wind kicked up and collided into Audino.
"Audino try to use your baby-doll eyes." Audino then started making adorable faces at Flabebe lowering it attack.
"Flabebe now use your vine whip attack." Flabebe shouted and two vines shot out from her fairy flower's stem and wrapped around Audino.
"Audino try to use your baby-doll eyes." Audino then started making adorable faces at Flabebe lowering it attack.
"Now go straight into a tackle," Bonnie exclaimed. Flabebe shot forward into a tackle and slammed into Audino.
"Audino!" Audino fell over and fidgeted as she tried to recover.
"But Audino is a normal type, so she should be powerful against fairy types."
"Common error that a second grader makes," a soft voice said. Fabian turned around as Bonnie looked toward the voice. Standing there was the girl and boy from the picture Fabian shown her with the same boys who were harassing Fabian behind her.
"That is Bonnie the sister of Clemont who is the Lumiose City gym leader and even though your pokemon has the type advantage, she probably knows her to defeat you and use strategies to overcome your attacks," Yvonne stated.
"Yvonne how do you know who I am related to," Bonnie asked confused.
"Of course all students here have to learn up on all the current gym leaders and even their family. Fabian your problem is that you spend so much time trying to battle only pokemon that yours had the advantage against, that your pokemon never get enough experience."
"Well I," Fabian tried saying.
"Classic Fabian always coming up short, you're nothing but an embarrassment to this school."
"Hey, why don't you lay off him," Bonnie defended Fabian.
"Don't talk to me that way," Yvonne countered.
"Well how many pokemon and badges do you have," Xavier asked.
"I have four pokemon and no badges."
"Four pokemon that you have and no badges, how pathetic are you. Are those your pokemon? Why are they all out of their pokeball? That is the sign of a weak trainer if they can't even control their pokemon," Xavier taunted.
"My pokemon are my partner, I don't control any of them," Bonnie replied.
"You clearly aren't a skilled trainer, you don't even have a gym badge yet," Yvonne retorted.
Bonnie grits her teeth and stepped forward.
"I'm not going to sit here and let you insult me and my pokemon. Why don't we have a battle?"
"Very well, I don't mind schooling you," Xavier announced.
"Teach her a lesson Xavier," one of the boys said.
"Yeah, show her how strong you are." Xavier walked over to one end of the battlefield and Bonnie went to the other side.
"Torchic let show him what we can do."
"Tor!"
Torchic walked over and took a position on the side of the battlefield.
"Charmander ready to defeat them once again," Xavier said as his Charmander appeared.
A small little red lizard like pokemon came out and started moving his tail.
Bonnie then took her pokedex out and scanned Charmander.
Charmander, the lizard pokemon
The flame that burns at the tip of its tail is an indication of its emotions. The flame wavers when Charmander is enjoying itself. If the Pokémon becomes enraged, the flame burns fiercely.
"A fire vs fire type battle, this is going to be interesting."
"Charmander start off with your ember attack."
Charmander blasted out a wind filled with lit ember at Torchic.
"Torchic now start off with your growl attack."
Torchic then started to slowly make a threating sound toward Charmander reducing it attacks.
"Charmander use your smokescreen."
Charmander then started to move it tail and launched smoke covering the entire area.
"Torchic use your focus energy."
Torchic nodded and sat, focusing on his energy.
"Charmander now use your scary face attack."
Charmander then made an intimidating face at Torchic terrifying him and it managed to even stop him from fighting.
"Torchic now use your scratch attack."
Torchic chirped causing his wings to glow white and he dashed toward Charmander.
"Charmander continue and use your dragon rage attack."
Charmander creates a light blue orb of energy inside of its stomach. It then fires a powerful blast of blue and black energy in the shape of a dragon at it.
"Torchic use your ember attack."
Torchic then looked back at Bonnie and nodded. The little fire type closed his eye and blasted out a wind filled with lit ember at Charmander.
"How is your Torchic getting faster," Fabian asked.
"I don't know," Bonnie replied.
"Torchic is getting faster because of its speed boost ability," Xavier explained.
Bonnie took out her pokedex.
Speed Boost: Speed increases by one stage at the end of each turn.
"Charmander now use your scary face attack."
Charmander then made an intimidating face at Torchic terrifying him and it managed to even stop him from fighting.
"He is good at battling," Bonnie whispered.
"I told you he is one of the best third grade students in the school at battling," Yvonne said.
"Don't give up Bonnie; show him what you two can do."
"Charmander continue and use your dragon rage attack."
Charmander creates a light blue orb of energy inside of its stomach. It then fires a powerful blast of blue and black energy in the shape of a dragon at it.
"Not again," Bonnie sighed.
"Come on Bonnie don't let him make a fool out of you."
Torchic then started to kick sand in Charmander eyes blinding him.
"Charmander now use your scary face attack."
Charmander then made an intimidating face at Torchic terrifying him and it managed to even stop him from fighting.
"Torchic now use your scratch attack."
Torchic chirped causing his wings to glow white and he dashed toward Charmander sending it flying.
"What!?"
"Here is a lesson for you; using the same tactic twice in a row leads to an opponent for a chance to counter since they already know what you're going to do next," Bonnie said.
Hearing Bonnie say that and having her school him make Xavier extremely angry.
"I'll teach you, Charmander ember into dragon rage."
It didn't take long for Bonnie to realize what Xavier was trying to do. Xavier was trying to use ember to delay Torchic and then it would hit him with dragon rage. It was a difficult situation but Bonnie had an idea.
"Torchic use your speed and launch sand at Charmander."
Torchic then started running quickly and started creating a twister of sand and launched it at Charmander.
"Torchic finish it up with your scratch attack."
Torchic chirped causing his wings to glow white and he dashed toward Charmander sending it flying.
"What?" Xavier and all of the other upperclassmen behind him said.
"Charmander is unable to battle. The winner is Torchic," Fabian announced.
"Well it looks like being top student doesn't make you as good as you think it does," Bonnie said.
Xavier returned his Charmander and walked over to Bonnie.
"Great job Torchic," Bonnie said as Torchic ran back toward s her and jumped into her arm.
"I was wrong about you; I thought you were just some pathetic trainer. But you managed to beat my Charmander with a Torchic. You really are a good trainer," he said in shocked.
"She has proven that there is more to being a trainer then just commanding your pokemon."
"What are you talking about?"
"Bonnie won because she and Torchic were in perfect sync; they trust and understand each other. And because of that they were able to perform as partners."
Bonnie was impressed on how right Fabian was. Xavier and these other students were obsessed with making their pokemon stronger without building a stronger bond with their pokemon.
"Fabian right, until you and your classmates learn that there is more to being a trainer than making your pokemon stronger, none of you will ever be able to reach your true potential," Bonnie added in.
Fabian listened to what Bonnie was saying. He realized that he spent so much time doing what his upperclassmen were doing, simply trying to make his pokemon stronger. He looked at his two pokeball and back at Bonnie.
"Well we need to get going, let us know if you're coming back here anytime soon," Xavier and Yvonne said.
"I hope I never see them again," Bonnie muttered.
Bonnie and Fabian both walked back to the academy entrance.
"I gonna go back home to see my uncle," Fabian said.
"Where does your uncle live," Bonnie asked curious.
"My uncles live in Santalune Forest so I got to go," Fabian told her.
"Can I tag along, I never been to Santalune Forest," Bonnie told him.
"Sure after all, the more the merrier," Fabian responded back.
"Everyone how are you all looking forward to travelling to Santalune Forest," Bonnie asked all of her pokemon.
All of her pokemon started cheering at the thought of traveling around.
They then all started walking toward the Santalune City exit.
"So what are you going to do next," Bonnie asked.
"I think I am going to go on a journey."
Squishy then started to sense two strong energy of a legendary pokemon coming near Santalune City.
(Lyn)
Having left the Pokemon Center earlier that day, Lyn and Mason both spent some time site seeing the town. They both even went and tried Super Training early in the morning. Lyn had already relayed her story to Mason, who was nothing short of amazed. Mason then remembered the Showcase that was going on later today.
"Hey Lyn do you want to go and check out the Showcase that will happen later today," Mason asked.
"Pokemon performing," Lyn mused as she looked down in thought. That was something that she thought about constantly every few minutes.
"Lyn we could totally use a break after all the activities and training that we been doing."
Lyn whipped her head in Mason's direction and smiled. "Definitely, I really want to see a Pokemon Showcase, too!"
Lyn then noticed two trainers walking and talking.
Lyn saw a boy with curly brown hair with lightly tan skin. He had green eyes and wore a black shirt with blue jeans. He had chains on his belt and had a white cap.
The girl has shoulder length curly brown hair, lightly tan skin and green eyes. She is slightly petite and wears a blue pleated skirt and a white blouse with a navy sweater along with her Mary Jane's and white knee socks.
"Jenna can you stop talking about Showcase for a while," the boy whined.
"James, I need to train for my upcoming showcase soon," the girl replied.
"So that girl is a performer," Lyn said amazed.
"Lyn do you want to go and talk to her," Fabian asked.
"Yeah, this girl is a performer and I have wanted to learn a little about them."
Lyn and Mason both started to walk toward the two trainers.
"Excuse me, I heard that you were a performer and I was wondering if you could tell me a little about it," Lyn asked.
"Who the heck are you two," the boy said defensively.
"Well my name is Lyn and this is my friend Mason!"
"James pleases calm down," the girl asked.
"Fine but I am watching you two," the boy James told them.
"Hi my name is Jenna and this is my brother James!"
"Nice to meet you Jenna and James," Lyn told the two.
"Lyn what did you want to know about Showcases," Jenna asked.
"I was wondering if you could tell me a little that you know about it," Lyn asked.
"James, I am going to walk around with Lyn and tell her a few things about Showcase so how about you hang out with Mason while I am gone," Jenna told him.
"But what happens if you are in danger," James said concerned.
"James let me remind you that I can handle myself and I have Chikorita with me," Jenna reminded her brother.
Jenna and Lyn both started walking around the town.
"Sorry about my brother, he can be a little overbearing but he only does that because he worries about me," Jenna apologized and explained to Lyn.
"Oh don't worry about that, I know how that is like, you see I have an older sister who gets a little overbearing," Lyn told her.
"Well, why do you want to know about Showcases," Jenna asked.
"Well Jenna, you see I just started my journey a few days ago and I have been having trouble deciding what I wanted to do for my journey," Lyn explained to her.
"So have you thought of anything that you wanted to do," Jenna asked.
"I only managed to find two options that I might try to do. The Battle Maison and Showcases," Lyn told Jenna.
"Let me tell you this then, if you want to become a better battler, I recommend that you try the Battle Maison and if you want to show off your pokemon potential, I recommend that you try Showcases," Jenna recommended to Lyn.
"That is the problem, I want to become a better battler and I want to show off my pokemon potential," Lyn told her.
"Lyn you have many options that you can do. One option that you could do is just doing both but the problem is that you may get stressed out and you may not be able to finish everything. Or the other option is just pick one and focus on the other one after you conquer your goal," Jenna told her.
"You give a good point Jenna," Lyn commented on.
"Hey Lyn how about we have a battle," Jenna offered.
"But why do you want to have a battle," Lyn asked clearly confused.
"So I can see how you battle! You see all different trainers have different battle style which can help me figure out what you should do," Jenna told her.
"Fine but don't expect me to go easy on you," Lyn stated.
"I don't expect you to anyway," Jenna replied back.
The two girls continued walking and found a little battlefield.
"How about we battle here," Lyn asked.
"Sure it looks like a good place to battle."
"We are going to have a one on one battle right," Lyn asked.
"Yeah and I only have one pokemon with me anyway!"
"Pichu come on out and show them your cuteness," Lyn said as her Pichu appeared ready to battle.
"Chikorita show them your magnificent beauty," Jenna said as her Chikorita appeared ready to battle.
Lyn then took out her pokedex and scanned Chikorita.
Chikorita, the Leaf Pokemon
In battle, Chikorita waves its leaf around to keep the foe at bay. However, a sweet fragrance also wafts from the leaf, becalming the battling Pokémon and creating a cozy, friendly atmosphere all around.
"Pichu ready to win this battle," Lyn told her Pichu. Pichu then nodded in agreement.
"Chikorita don't go easy on them okay," Jenna reminded her pokemon. Chikorita nodded its head in agreement and was ready to give it all.
"Pichu start off with your tail whip attack," Lyn ordered.
Pichu then started shaking her tail lowering Chikorita defense.
"Chikorita start off with your very own razor leaf attack," Jenna ordered.
Chikorita leaf on its head started to glow green and it started launching leaves to surround it.
Chikorita started to run toward Pichu and the razor leaf that surrounded it collided into Pichu sending her flying backward.
"Pichu hang on and use your nasty plot attack."
Pichu started to plot some bad things that it could do to Chikorita causing it special attack to increase.
"Chikorita now use your sunny day attack."
Chikorita leaf started to glow emitting a bright light and it released a little orb into the air causing the sun to come out and releasing a bright light.
"Pichu use your thunderbolt attack now to injure Chikorita," Lyn told her Pichu.
Pichu started to spin and it launches a bolt of thunder at Chikorita injuring it.
"Chikorita heal with your synthesis attack."
Chikorita leaf glowed bright green and it started to heal by the sunlight.
"Pichu use your iron tail now to deal some real damage!"
Pichu tail started to glow grey and it started running toward Chikorita.
"Chikorita stop Pichu with your solar beam attack!"
Chikorita started to absorb all the sunlight that it could and launched a huge beam at Pichu who was running toward it.
"Pichu go head first and try to destroy that solar beam."
Pichu tail started to collide into the solar beam and it then was sent flying completely into the ground.
Pichu then fainted from the attack.
"Pichu you did great," Lyn said as she returned Pichu to her pokeball.
"Chikorita you were great as always," Jenna told her pokemon.
Jenna and Lyn both started walking back to their friend.
"Lyn I believe that you might be good at battling and you should at least try the Battle Maison," Jenna told her.
"You think," Lyn replied shocked.
"Yeah, I saw your battle and I noticed that your battle style was to attack on," Jenna told her.
They then arrived back to their friends and said farewells.
Lyn and Mason then continued walking toward the Pokemon Center. The two both decided to go back to the Pokemon Center so their pokemon could get some rest from all the training they did earlier that day.
Lyn and Mason arrived at the Pokemon Center and walked towards the front desk.
"Hello and welcome to the Santalune City Pokemon Center. What can I do for you today Lyn and Mason," Nurse Joy asked.
"Hello Nurse Joy, we were wondering if you could look at our pokemon," they both asked.
". Wigglytuff can you please go and get all these pokemon ready for an examination," Nurse Joy stated.
Wigglytuff resembles a pink blob with stubby arms and legs. There is a fluffy, curled tuft of fur on its head, and it has long, rabbit-like ears and large, blue eyes. It was carrying a stretcher and was moving as fast as it stubby legs allowed it.
All of their pokemon then got on the stretcher and Wigglytuff left to examine all of the pokemon.
The two trainers were now relaxing in the lobby in the Pokemon Center. The two trainers were both talking to each other about their future as trainers.
That was when they heard someone walking in the Pokemon Center. Lyn looked to see who it was and noticed a few familiar faces. She saw a young girl that had medium orange hair with light red eyes. The other was a young rounded boy and he had short blue hair and bright green eyes. The last one was a young frail boy and he had brown hair and his green glasses covered his blue eyes.
The three trainers then all went to get their pokemon. Lyn told Mason who the people were and decided to go and spook them. Lyn slowly tiptoed toward the three trainers. As she got to the three trainers, she slowly tapped their shoulder and then slowly hid. They then all looked around for a few minutes before Lyn revealed herself.
"Lyn," the three trainers cried out as Heidi ran forward to give Lyn a hug.
"We haven't seen you since you left Lumiose City!"
"I know," Lyn squealed back, returning the hug. "I've really missed you three. Just today, I was hoping to see you Heidi, and here you are!"
They both released each other, and Lyn went over to give Kye a bone-crushing hug as well. "How is everything going for you three," Lyn asked.
"I just caught myself a new pokemon," Heidi told her.
"Really, can I see it," Lyn asked excitedly as she release Kye from a hug.
Heidi then took out a pokeball and she let the pokemon out of its pokeball. A tiny pink cat appeared and it started chasing after it tail.
"Meet my little Skitty, this little girl loves chasing her tail," Heidi told her.
Lyn then took out her pokedex and scanned Skitty.
Skitty, the Kitten Pokemon
Skitty has the habit of becoming fascinated by moving objects and chasing them around. This Pokémon is known to chase after its own tail and become dizzy.
"That is really great Heidi! I'm so happy for you," she grinned.
"So what are you doing here in Santalune City and where is Bonnie," Jay asked.
"I've actually been here in Santalune City for a couple of days trying out all different types of activities and done some training. Bonnie and I got in a fight and the two of us split apart."
"Lyn why were you looking forward to seeing me," Heidi asked in confusion.
"Well you told me that you were trying out showcases and I was wondering if I could see your performance," Lyn asked.
"Yeah sure, I would love if you could watch my performance," Heidi told her.
"Oh yeah, I want you to meet my friend Mason," Lyn told the three.
"Who's Mason?"
"He is a friend that I am travelling with. He plans to be a Pokemon Racer and we met yesterday. Would you like to meet him?"
"Sure. Why not," the three shrugged
Lyn then lead them to Mason.
Mason noticed Lyn and walked over to them.
"Oh hello what are your three names," Mason asked politely.
"I am Heidi, this is Kye and he is Jay. We are all friends of Lyn and we started our journey a few months ago," Heidi said in a bubbly tone.
Mason smiled," Well it is nice to meet you. I am Mason," He introduce to which the three nodded in response. He then addressed everyone else. "Well everyone, I believe all of our pokemon are all better and we need to get them now."
They then all went and got their pokemon.
"Hey Lyn, do you want to meet the rest of my team," Heidi asked.
"Sure I would love to," Lyn responded.
"Come on out Eevee and Fennekin," Heidi said as she took out two pokeball and released her pokemon. Out of the pokeball was a tiny brown fox pokemon appeared and starting jumping around Heidi. The second was a tiny yellow fox pokemon that started to showoff it looks to everyone.
"Your pokemon are so cute!"
Lyn then took out her pokedex.
Eevee, the Evolution Pokemon
Eevee has an unstable genetic makeup that suddenly mutates due to the environment in which it lives. Radiation from various stones causes this Pokémon to evolve.
Fennekin, the Fox Pokemon
As it walks, it munches on a twig in place of a snack. It intimidates opponents by puffing hot air out of its ears.
"Heidi I challenge you to a pokemon battle," Lyn declared.
"I accept your challenge," Heidi replied.
"How many pokemon do you want to use," Lyn asked.
"I was wondering if we could use only 1 pokemon each," Heidi replied.
"Why is that," Lyn asked.
"Well I plan on using Eevee and Fennekin in my performance so I don't want them in any battles. Skitty is the newest pokemon I caught and I wanted to see how strong it is," Heidi responded.
Lyn and Heidi both started walking toward the battlefield.
"This will be a one on one between Lyn and Heidi."
"Skitty come on out now and show them your cuteness," Heidi said as her little Skitty appeared ready to battle.
"Ralts show them how cunning you are," Lyn said as her Ralts teleported to the battlefield.
"Wow, a Ralts that is a really impressive catch," Heidi said impressive.
"Now begin!"
"Skitty give them a fake out attack."
Skitty then ran extremely quickly toward Ralts and threw her to the ground with her tail.
"Ralts get up and show them your growl attack."
Ralts then slowly started to make a threatening sound toward Skitty that made it feel weaker.
"Skitty follow that up with your tackle attack."
Skitty ran toward Ralts and head-butted right into Ralts sending her to the ground."
"Ralts use your double team attack."
Ralts then started to create multiple illusions of her that managed to make Skitty confused of who to attack.
"Skitty now go and use your attract attack," Heidi asked and she winked at Skitty.
Skitty then started to wink at Ralts and launched a barrage of hearts that hit Ralts.
Ralts however was not affected by attract but was outrage that it tried to use attract on her.
"Ralts show them the power of your confusion attack."
Ralts then started to move her hand and Skitty was being lifted in the air and then she was thrown to the ground. Ralts however continued to move her hand and Skitty was being lifted in the air and then she was thrown to the side following with being slammed into the ground.
"Skitty is unable to battle so Ralts win."
"Ralts we won our first official battle together," Lyn said as she picked up Ralts.
"Skitty you were amazing," Heidi told it as she returned it to its pokeball.
"That was a good battle," Lyn told her as the two both shook hand.
"How about we all head off to the Showcase since it is going to happen soon," Heidi suggested.
They were walking and that was when Lyn spotted a familiar blonde hair girl.
Both of the girls eyes met and they started glaring at each other.
The blonde hair girl then walked up toward Lyn.
"Oh it's you again," the blonde hair girl said.
"Long time no sees Yvonne," Lyn said sarcastically.
"Where are you heading off to," Xavier questioned.
"My friends and I are going to a showcase that my friend is competing in," Lyn snorted.
"Oh well, let me tell you this I am going to win this showcase so just back off," Yvonne sneered.
"Excuse me, but no one knows who is going to win so just back it," Heidi countered.
"Oh, we will see who the best performer truly is," Yvonne whispered.
Xavier and Yvonne then both walked off toward the Showcase arena.
They then all walked toward the Showcase arena and walked inside it.
"Good luck Heidi," they all told her.
Heidi then left and went backstage to get going.
Lyn and the other went and sat in their seats.
"Oh my gosh, this is so fascinating!" Lyn exclaimed as she eagerly waited in the audience for the Pokemon Showcase to begin. Just because she wasn't sure what she wanted to do yet didn't mean that she couldn't watch a Showcase.
There was a rather large crowd of people at the showcase. It was completely full and the group was expecting that due to performances being so popular in Kalos. They even managed to get there early and managed to get great seats. They were right in the center of the audience and in the third row of seats.
"Hey what is a Showcase," Mason asked clearly confused.
"A Pokemon Showcase is a performance tournament that takes place all over Kalos and it focuses on the trainer and pokemon bond. There are two classes of Pokémon Showcases, the Rookie Class and the Master Class. Every Performer may compete in Rookie Class tournaments, but only those who have collected at least three Princess Keys can enter the Master Class. Rookie Class Pokémon Showcases are divided in two sections. The first is called the Theme Performance and can encompass multiple different activities. The second section is called the Freestyle Performance and it is when a performer and her pokemon perform together on stage and make full use of the pokemon capabilities," Jay announced.
"I see now," Lyn replied as she turned back. She was in fact curious herself. She had known little about Pokemon Showcase since her sister and she always went to visit towns and sight-see. At least now Lyn knew, and Jay gave her a good explanation
"You sure know a lot of information," Mason commented.
"It comes with traveling and reading books like I do," Jay smiled.
"Shush, it is about to start," Lyn hushed as the light dimmed, signaling then start.
"Bonjour, People of Kalos and other fans of Santalune Rookie Class Pokemon festival Showcase. The celebration of beginning is about to begin with grace and elegance!"
Monsieur Pierre then jumped and arrived on the stage.
"I will be your guide through this splendid and dream world. I am Monsieur Pierre! I invite all of you at home as well as here in the audience to be part of something beauty that surpass anything else."
"Our gifted performers and their pokemon are sure to feel each and everyone one of your hearts with magnificence all and delight!"
A Klefki then flew down to Monsieur Pierre.
"Klefki!"
"Mercie Klefki and the winner of the Rookie Class will receive the competent Princess Key. When a performer wins three Princess Keys they will be allowed to compete in the Master Class. And the winner of the prestigious Master Class will be crowned Kalos Queen in honor of their hard work."
The Santalune Princess Key was a sight to look at. It had a beautiful green diamond in the middle and the key had a design of a bug.
A group of three teenage girls entered the stage.
The three girls arrived on stage and each had a pokemon by them. One had a Butterfree, another had a Kirlia and the final one had a Furfrou. The girls themselves were also dressed up as well. Each had on a sparkling outfit which really stood out in the dimmed lights. Each girl did a curtsy once they and their pokemon bowed alongside them.
Lyn then took her pokedex out and scanned the three pokemon.
Butterfree, the Butterfly Pokemon
Butterfree has a superior ability to search for delicious honey from flowers. It can even search out, extract, and carry honey from flowers that are blooming over six miles from its nest.
Kirlia, the Emotion Pokemon
Kirlia uses the horns on its head to amplify its psychokinetic power. When the Pokémon uses its power, the air around it becomes distorted, creating mirages of nonexistent scenery.
Furfrou, the Poodle Pokemon
Trimming its fluffy fur not only makes it more elegant but also increases the swiftness of its movements.
"We shall now begin our marvelous performance! I will now lead you audiences into our first theme for today! It will be Pokemon Styling," Monsieur Pierre announced.
"Pokemon styling," Lyn said as her eyes were fixed on the stage.
"For this theme, we shall see who can style their pokemon the best within ten minutes. The trainers are given an unlimited supply of items to style with. The winner of each round will advance to the second round! Are our performers almost ready," Pierre called as each trainer got in their own individual box. Upon receiving a nod, he snapped his finger. "Very well, s'il vous plait!"
The audience erupted into cheers as each performer got to work. Lyn wasn't busy focusing on cheering like the others were. She was concentrating had on all of the performers and watching every move they made. Despite it being a serious competition, each girl was complementary focused on what they were doing, and still had fun doing so. She saw how sometime the pokemon would help out on occasion. One would have to really have a great bond with their pokemon to work together like that.
"We will close the curtains so our trainers can provide their finishing touches in privacy," Pierre yelled as he snapped his finger once again. Curtains were draped over all the boxes which hid the performers from all the audience view. Now not being able to see anything, Lyn let her mind wander.
Lyn imagined herself on the stage. She had on a beautiful outfit and all of her pokemon were around her. All of them were dressed up very stylish, but for some reason all of her pokemon were in their final evolved state. Lyn was surrounded by a Sceptile, Raichu, and a Gardevoir all dancing around her. She heard thousands of people cheering and shouting her name in the audience while she did a curtsy.
"Okay the time is up. May the performer please proceed to the stage? Performer Ella and her Kirlia let see what you got," Pierre announced.
Klefki opened the door she was in and she appeared with her Kirlia. She then started walking to the front of the stage. Kirlia then started waving her hand and smiled to the audience. It looked like the performer Ella and her Kirlia were both having fun.
"Her pokemon look so cute," Lyn smiled as she watched.
Then two other performers then both walked to the front of the stage after one another.
"Now that you have seen the three performers, please press one of the buttons on your glow caster to vote on who looked best? The votes will be tallied up once everyone has done so," Pierre announced.
They all looked down and saw a tiny stick that had three different buttons on it. The red, blue, and green buttons each represented one of the performers. So the audience was a judge of each competition rather than three judges. Lyn thought hard as it was a relatively tough call. They all looked great to her. Pokemon performing was all about winning over the audience and that was something she was bad at.
Lyn took this short time to analyze all of the pokemon. The Butterfree looked lovely with the beautiful ribbon around its neck and the glitter on its wings. However, there was a little too much glitter which took away from the Pokemon itself. The Kirlia had a lovely green dress on which complimented its lean body. The Kirlia had a huge pink hat on its head which matched it body perfectly. The Furfrou was just as beautiful as ever in its outfit and small hat to go with it. It was an excellent choice of clothing, but for some reason, it didn't seem to fit right. Ultimately looking at all of them again, Lyn voted for the Kirlia.
"All of our votes have been cast! Please turn your eyes towards the screen for our results!" Pierre called as he waved his hand around as the images of the girls appeared on the screen.
The votes began tallying up very quickly as everyone waiting in anticipation. Before long, all of them finished marking, and the winner was revealed to be the trainer with the Kirlia. Lyn smiled that her choice had won, but clearly not everyone had chosen the one she did.
"Darn, I thought for sure that Furfrou would win," Mason muttered.
"I don't know Mason, the Furfrou looked great, but it outfit just seemed a little off," Lyn told him thoughtfully as she crossed her arms.
Multiple other performers performed and it went by smoothly. Each person she voted for won the round. It was like Lyn had intuition on who was the best. She was able to judge all the pros and cons of every outfit before making her vote. She was almost completely unaware of how much critique she actually was doing.
It was finally Heidi's turn as she and two other performers appeared on stage. Heidi and the two performers were introduced and they then all headed into the little box area. Ten minutes then passed and it was finally time to see what all the pokemon looked like. Lyn looked at two of the pokemon costume and didn't like how they were used on the pokemon. She then looked at Heidi's Fennekin who had a cute little pink dress on and a pink top hat on its head. Lyn liked Heidi's Fennekin costume the best and voted for her. The voting then ended and it was revealed that Heidi would be moving on to the next round.
Continuing on the next group of performers was none other than Jenna and the other performers. Jenna and the two performers were introduced and they then all headed into the little box area. Ten minutes then passed and it was finally time to see what all the pokemon looked lie. Lyn looked at two of the pokemon costume and didn't like how they were used on the pokemon. She then looked at Jenna's Chikorita who had a cute little green dress on and a green crown of leaf on its head.
The last theme round was beginning and it was none other than Yvonne and two other performers. Yvonne and the other performers were both introduced and they all headed into the little box area. Ten minutes then passed and it was finally time to see what all the pokemon looked like. Lyn looked at two of the pokemon costume and didn't like how they were used on the pokemon. She then looked at Yvonne Squirtle who had a cute little blue tuxedo on and a blue top hat on its head. Lyn liked Yvonne Squirtle costume the best. But she really didn't like Yvonne and really wanted her to lose. Finally Lyn, decided to go with Yvonne just because of her Squirtle outfit. The voting then ended and it was revealed that Yvonne would be moving on to the next round.
"It is now time for our Free- Style Performance Round! In a Free- Style Performance Round, performers will be able to perform with their pokemon to show the full capacities of their pokemon," Monsieur Pierre explained.
Lyn watched in fascination as a few performers performed their free style performance.
"Now presenting Performance Number 3 Performer Jenna, show us what you got," Monsieur Pierre announced.
Jenna and her Chikorita both started running toward the middle of the stage. Jenna wore a beautiful green dress that reminded Lyn of Chikorita
"Chikorita are you ready to show them our grassy performance," Jenna asked her little leaf pokemon. Chikorita nodded her head in return.
"Let show everyone the power of a grass type!"
Chikorita and Jenna both started dancing together. Chikorita started to launch columns of leaves and Jenna danced around the leaves.
Chikorita leaf started to glow emitting a bright light and it released a little orb into the air causing the sun to come out and releasing a bright light. Jenna started to continue dancing.
Chikorita started to absorb all the sunlight that it could and launched a huge beam in the air sending a beautiful ray to end the performance.
"Now presenting Performance Number 5 Performer Yvonne, show us what you got," Monsieur Pierre announced.
Yvonne and her Squirtle both started running toward the middle of the stage. Yvonne wore a beautiful blue dress that reminded Lyn of Squirtle.
"Squirtle are you ready to show them our water performance," Yvonne asked her little turtle. Squirtle nodded his head in return.
"Let show everyone the power of a water type!"
Squirtle and Yvonne both started to dance together. Squirtle started to launch tiny columns of water and Yvonne took out a parasol and managed to dance around it causing the water to reflect creating a mirage.
Squirtle then started to launch multiple bubbles towards Yvonne who managed to dance around the bubble attack.
Squirtle then started dancing along with Yvonne and Squirtle jumped on the parasol and Squirtle was propelled into the air. Squirtle then started to spin destroying all of the bubbles.
Yvonne and Squirtle both started to make a curtsy indicating that the performance was over.
"Now presenting Performance Number 7 Performer Heidi, show us what you got," Monsieur Pierre announced.
Heidi along with her Fennekin and her Eevee both started running toward the middle of the stage. Heidi wore a beautiful red ball gown.
"Eevee and Fennekin are you ready to show them our fire performance," Yvonne asked her two little foxes .Eevee and Fennekin nodded their head in return.
"Let show everyone the power of a fire and normal type!"
Heidi and her two pokemon both started dancing. Eevee started moving it tail and stars appeared and they were surrounding Heidi and Fennekin. Fennekin started to launch a multi colored beam at the swift destroying it completely and creating a beautiful array of colored lights.
Heidi continued twirling and her Fennekin then released a column of flames to surround her, Eevee started jumping around and launch swift in the air. Heidi continued dancing in the flames as something incredibly strange emerged out of the flames. Heidi was shocked at what was near her when she was dancing.
A wild Vulpix appeared and it started to dance as Heidi was still dancing. The Vulpix then started to roar and the fire vanished into tiny sparkles.
Everyone then watched as a wild Vulpix start performing alongside Heidi. It was all good for a while but then the Vulpix started to take over the show.
Lyn watched in complete awe as she witness the little Vulpix perform alongside Heidi. The Vulpix dancing was elegant to her and she found it also adorable to watch.
Heidi and her two pokemon all did a curtsy indicating that they were done.
But when Vulpix started taking over the show, it started launching intense fire that managed to destroy some of the technical equipment.
"Hey there is a show going on," said one of the workers as he walked on the stage.
Vulpix noticed the man and started to launch an attack at him.
The Vulpix started to run away launching attacks at any one that came near it.
Due to all the technical equipment being destroyed they decided to improvise and allow the next couple of freestyle performance to go after an intermission.
During Intermission, Lyn and Mason started to talk.
"I wonder why that Vulpix decided to just go and interrupt Heidi's performance."
"I don't know but I can see in Vulpix eyes that it loves to perform," Lyn told him.
After intermission the rest of the performance happened and Lyn was just amazed to see all of the performances.
Lyn saw all different types of pokemon that performers used such as bug types, fairy types, grass types, and even ghost types.
It was eventually time to vote for which performer deserved to win.
"It I now time to vote for which performer you thought was the best," Monsieur Pierre announced.
Lyn then took her glow caster and she started looking at the different buttons.
"Which performance did I like the best? I mean I loved Heidi's performance and the way she managed to combine both Eevee and Fennekin ability to make the best performance but I also liked how Yvonne was able to show off Squirtle water ability perfectly. What should I do, should I vote for my friend or should I vote for the person that I can't stand their gut," Lyn thought.
Ultimately, Lyn voted for Heidi and witness as the orange light then left her glow caster and went toward the key that Heidi had on her dress.
The voting then happened and Lyn watched as all the lights from the glow caster went in different key.
"And the winner of the Santalune City Showcase is none other than Santalune very own Yvonne with her Squirtle," Monsieur Pierre announced.
Yvonne and Squirtle were both happy that they managed to win the Santalune City Showcase.
Yvonne then went and received her very own princess key from Monsieur Pierre.
After the performance they then all went outside and started getting ready to go to the center.
"I told you all, I would find a way to win," Yvonne said smugly, laughing at them all with her Squirtle.
"Next time that we met, I will beat you in both a performance and a battle," Heidi replied.
"Oh trust me, I will destroy you in everything that you do," Yvonne laughed.
"We will see, when the time come," Heidi told her.
Yvonne and Xavier decided to both walk away with their pokemon.
"So Lyn did you liked my performance," Jenna asked.
"I thought that it was really amazing and you showed off Chikorita perfectly," Lyn told her.
"So do you think that you are going to try out a showcase," Jenna asked her.
"Yeah, I plan on competing in the next showcase," Lyn said inspired.
"Well James and I are planning to go to the Santalune City gym," Jenna told her.
The two girls then said their farewells.
"I wonder why that Vulpix decided to crash my performance," Heidi asked.
"I don't know but I plan on going it," Lyn told her.
(Bonnie)
Fabian was leading Bonnie toward his Uncle house.
The two of them were both talking to each other and learned a lot about each other.
"Wait so are you telling me that you aren't from Santalune City," Bonnie asked shocked.
"Yeah, I am actually not from Santalune City, I was actually born in this very own forest and this is my home," Fabian told her.
"But why did you go to the school in Santalune City," Bonnie asked confused.
"I had to go to the school due to there not being a school in the forest," Fabian explained.
"Wait so what happened to your parents," Bonnie asked.
"Well both of my parents disappeared when I was younger and I plan to start finding more about them," Fabian stated.
Bonnie and Fabian both saw multiple wild pokemon swarming all over the forest.
Bonnie then saw an adorable Scatterbug that was moving up a tree.
"I want to capture that Scatterbug," Bonnie told Fabian.
"Well let me tell you this Bonnie, the pokemon here are extremely kind and playful so if you just ask them kindly I bet they would easily join your team," Fabian replied.
Bonnie and her pokemon then gently walked over toward the Scatterbug.
"Hey Scatterbug we were wondering if you would be so willing to journey with us," Bonnie asked.
Scatterbug then nodded its head and launched a web a string at Bonnie face.
All of Bonnie's pokemon then started to laugh as Bonnie took the web off of her face.
"That was not funny at all!"
Fabian even started to laugh and Bonnie glared at him.
"You got to admit that was a little funny," Fabian said trying to defend Bonnie's pokemon action.
"Scatterbug do you want to have a battle or do you just want to join the group," Bonnie asked.
Scatterbug then launch another string of web at her.
Bonnie realized that Scatterbug wanted a battle and she managed to barely avoid another string shot in the face.
"Flabebe your up," Bonnie said as Flabebe started to appear alongside.
The Scatterbug then used it strings and slammed into Flabebe with a tackle.
"Flabebe start off with your fairy wind attack."
Flabebe spun her flower around as a pink glittering wind kicked up and collided into Scatterbug.
Scatterbug then continued to use it strings and trapped Flabebe in a web.
"Flabebe now use your vine whip attack."
Flabebe shouted and two vines shot out from her fairy flower's stem and wrapped around Scatterbug.
"Now go straight into a tackle," Bonnie exclaimed.
Flabebe shot forward into a tackle and slammed into Scatterbug. Scatterbug then fell to the ground and its web was destroyed.
Bonnie then took a pokeball out of her bag and threw it at Scatterbug.
The pokeball then absorbed Scatterbug in it and it started to shake for a while. After a while the pokeball stopped shaking indicating that Bonnie caught Scatterbug.
Bonnie walked over to the pokeball and held it in her hand.
"We just caught ourselves a Scatterbug!" Bonnie and her pokemon then all started to pose.
"Well now that you got a pokemon lets go and head off to see my Uncle."
They both arrived at Fabian's Uncle house. Fabian then knocked on the door.
"Who is it," a rough voice asked.
"It is me Fabian uncle!"
A minute later the door was opened by a man that was dressed up as a fisherman.
"Fabian your back and with a friend but shouldn't you be in school," his uncle asked.
"Uncle I was wondering if I could tag along with my friend Bonnie and broaden my horizon. I don't fit in at that school and I hate it there."
His Uncle stood there for a few seconds wondering what he should do. He finally came up with a solution.
"Fabian I will allow you to go on a journey but you must promise to return back home and call me every time you make it in a city or town."
"I promise uncle that I will always call home okay," Fabian told him.
"I know you will and I want to give you this," Fabian Uncle then walked toward a shelf and pulled out a fishing rod. He then walked over to Fabian and handed it to him.
"That was your mother old fishing rod and she told me before she disappeared to give it to you when it was time for you to go on a journey. Your mother is a wonderful fishing woman and I know that she should be somewhere in the Kalos Region."
"What happened to her," Bonnie asked.
"Many years ago, his mother went traveling around the region with an old friend of hers. The two of them both traveled together as their husband watched their child. The two of them both worked with Professor Sycamore in the art of Mega Evolution and the minute they walked into Reflection Cave was the minute that we lost a friend, a mother, and a sister."
Bonnie then started to remember the story that her father told her. How her mother traveled into reflection cave and how she disappeared. Was her mother connected to the story that Fabian mother was linked to.
"Fabian I need to talk to your friend quickly okay," Fabian Uncle told him.
Fabian then quickly walked outside with Bonnie's pokemon.
"Bonnie I need you to protect him okay, he is very special and he doesn't even know it yet. Powers sleeps within Fabian and when the time come it will be released so I need you to protect him from Team Oblivion. And with that Zygarde Core that you have with you, it is going to cause serious problem for the two of you. Both of your futures will be in danger because of that pokemon."
"How do you know about Zygarde core," Bonnie questioned.
"When the time comes you will learn everything ranging from Zygarde core true powers all the way to the secrets of your mother."
"What secret of my mother do you know," Bonnie asked sharply.
"I can't tell you that but trust me, people that knew her will come after you."
"What do you know about Squishy," Bonnie asked shaking in fear.
"So that is what you called the monster of Order, what a pathetic childish name. Let me tell you this Bonnie, your little Squishy brought three monsters into the city. In two days, your little Squishy will cause the downfall of Santalune City. It managed to bring the reviver of life and the receiver of death along with the Eternal one."
"Who is the Eternal One? Is it AZ or is it the Eternal Flower Floette," Bonnie asked.
"Let's just say that the Eternal One is much more dangerous than either AZ or the Eternal Flower Floette."
"Are you ready Bonnie to be responsible for the lives of hundreds because you brought the Order Pokemon?"
"I will find a way to prevent lives from being taken," Bonnie promised.
"We will all see in only a few days!"
They then both walked outside and met up with Fabian.
Fabian and his uncle then talked for a few minutes and said their farewells.
"Good Luck on your Journey you two!"
