Another day, another quest (Tyson, Alexis, and Bolt and their Pokemon are seen stretching then flashing to Tyson and Bolt sparing)

On the road to be the best! (Tyson in the Kalos League and Alexis in The Grand Festival)

Can't let evil get me down (Tyson is confronted by Brett and Beedrill, Cruz with Ampharos, two trainers with their Pokemon shrouded in darkness standing under a man smirking evilly)

Not when I got great friends around! (Bolt and Alexis comes and puts their hand on his back)

I will! (2x) be a champion (Tyson is shown with 11 faded Pokemon behind him)

Let's go! (2x) bring it on! (Ryan flashes with Chespin and another Pokemon, Lucas flashes with Roselia and another Pokemon, Molly flashes with Dewott and Charmander and another trainer with two Pokemon)

I know there are mysteries to be told (The Hood is standing on top of a huge tower as his Mega Charizard zips forward and breaks the camera)

All I need to do is reach for gold! (Tyson steps on the broken glass and see Owen about 20 steps ahead of him)

Hey ho, let's go! (Tyson, Alexis, and Bolt are standing on a hill, looking at the sunset)

Hey everyone, hope you enjoyed the new opening! This time, a chapter will focus on Alexis and her chance to win her first ribbon!

Pokefan02: Thanks, I tried to make the battle as best as a I could. And no, the egg won't hatch into an Eevee, which I can see given Chapter 22's title.

El Torro: Yeah, maybe I could've spaced out Tyson's team where they could at least been seen more. Frogadier will be a powerhouse thanks to his evolution. The egg won't be an Eevee, but its personality will be interesting!

"Ta-da!" Alexis exclaimed as she jumped into the view of Bolt and Tyson. She wore a cerulean dress that stopped at her calfs. Alexis' long hair was turned into a bun that stood on the back with pink high heels. They were in the waiting room of the contest as the other 31 contestants put on their outfit. The 16 year old female did a few twirls as the guys had a blank space on their faces. "Do you like it?"

"Umm," they both started, trying to speak. Tyson almost lost control of his egg, which was saved by Frogadier. Bolt started drooling before he shook his head and and looked down.

"We like it," he said, speaking for both him and the winner of the Parfum Palace Tournament. Alexis smiled as she punched her palm.

"I have to win this contest!" she stated as Bolt and Tyson nodded.

"One and all, welcome to the Camphrier Town!" a voice cried as screams could be heard from the room. The trainers turned their attention to the screen, which showed a blonde woman with an orange blouse and red boots. In her hands laid a gray microphone that projected her voice. "My name is Victorian and I'm so happy to be announcing today's contest! Now, to introduce the judges!" She gestured her hand as three lights shone on three people.

"We have Camphrier Town's Nurse Joy, the organizer of the Parfum Palace Tournament, Richard, and Julia, owner of the Boutique here!" the pink haired nurse waved at the crowd as a short man nodded his bald head. The last female blew kisses in the air as her wavy black hair moved in the wind. "Our first contestant is Lucas Connor from Santalune City!"

On the opening stand, Lucas stood in a green and orange tux combo with a rose in his tux pocket. He jumped in the air and released a Poke Ball that was in a clear blue capsule.

"Showtime Dratini!" he called as his Poke Ball opened. In a flash, a small purple and snake like Pokemon landed on the ground with multiple thunder bolts flying in the air.

Dratini, the Dragon Pokemon. Dratini continuously molts and sloughs off its old skin. It does so because the life energy within its body steadily builds to reach uncontrollable levels.

"Where did the thunder bolts come from?" Tyson asked, looking at his rival's performance.

"From the capsule," Alexis answered. Seeing her friend was still confused, she sighed and decided to explain it to him. You can put a seal on the capsule, which appears along with the Pokemon you choose."

"Use Twister!" the dragon type twirled his tail, which created a large purple tornado as he lunged it in the air. The thunder bolts from the seal spun around it, which made a yellow aura around it. "Send the Twister a Thunder Wave!" Dratini nodded as he shot a surge of electricity that was swallowed by the Twister. The move then descended down towards the ground.

Lucas smirked as he snapped his fingers. "The Show Must Go On! Aqua Tail the Twister!" Dratini's tail turned blue and had water moving around the tip. The Dragon Pokemon leaped in the air to collide with the tornado, which broke apart. In a gust of wind, light water was flown around the stadium. The crowd looked around in confusion to see in the sky, a faded silhouette of two large thunderbolts, radiating a yellow light. The slithering Pokemon wrapped around his trainer's arm, who bowed to the crowd. Screams and claps followed as a smile could be seen on the auburn haired teen.

"Great performance by Lucas and Dratini! Both were in perfect sync!" Joy said as she flashed her smile.

"The power of electricity, water, and wind was too much for me!" Richard stated as put us a thumbs up.

"I loved the ending silhouette as it just inspired me for a new line of clothing!" Julia exclaimed proudly as Lucas left the stage.

Following Lucas' performance, 19 other contestants went.

"Now, we are proud to have Beatrice Matthews from Lumiose City!"

Beatrice walked on the stage, grabbing the attention of every male viewer. Wearing a tight, one strap hot pink dress with pink high heels. Her blonde hair got curly as it laid on her sides perfectly.

"Buneary, action!" she cried as she tossed her capsule in the air. After it opened, a series of hearts flew in the air as a small light brown bunny with yellow fur bounced in the air.

Buneary, the Rabbit Pokemon. Its ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder.

"Ice Beam!" Buneary fired a stream of ice that made the hearts into one circle of ice. Buneary jump through the hole and twirled, adding a sense of amazement to go to the crowd.

"Now make a ramp to the ice circle!" Buneary nodded as she made another ice figure, in the shape of a slide. The Rabbit Pokemon pushed her ears up as they glowed a rainbow color and slid down with her ears. The slide broke once the ears made in contact as Buneary completed her task to getting in the middle of the circle. She spun in the middle, which made the her and the ice circle look like a wheel.

"Dizzy Punch!" Beatrice called as Buneary struck the ice with her colorful ears. Before both objects hit the the ground, Buneary held up an ice replica of the Camphrier Ribbon, with hearts all around it.

The crowd clapped for the young coordinator as Buneary threw the ice statue in the air. She waited until it came back as she smashed it into pieces. Beatrice bowed as Buneary waved at the crowd.

"Nice use of Buneary's ears. She looks in the best of health," Joy said.

"Buneary sure knows how to use her ice abilities!" Richard stated as he rubbed his beard.

"I got it! An ice style dress with a badge ribbon!" Julia yelled as she gave Beatrice for the idea.

10 other competitors went after as it was leading to the last one.

"Now, introducing first timer Alexis Miller!" Victorian said as Alexis ran onto the stage.

"Ralts, Time To Shine!" Alexis threw her Poke Ball into the air. Hers released multiple stars as Ralts was flying on one.

"Double Team!" Ralts duplicated herself so that every star occupied a Ralts.

"Disarming Voice!" Every Ralts opened their mouths to release a loud sound. This time, the sound was enjoying as the crowd moved their heads along. The stars stopped in a star constellation.

"Confusion to rap it up!" Ralts eyes glowed as the constellation glowed light blue. A blue line connected them. The stars grew closer as the clones continued to sing. The stars joined together to form one large star that was blue. Alexis snapped as the star broke into tiny stars that the crowd grabbed. Ralts flipped onto Alexis' hand as the crowd cheered.

"Ralts' Disarming Voice was so peaceful. Her voice is amazing!" Joy stated.

"Who could know a capsule seal could be used like that? Amazing!" Richard yelled as he stood up for the girl.

"This time, a yellow dress with stars on both shoulder as the dress sparkles a light blue! Alexis, you are a genius!" Julia boasted.

"That was great!" Tyson exclaimed as Frogadier gave her a thumbs up. Bolt nodded as Luxio roared in agreeance.

"Thanks, I just hope it was enough to make it to the battling round," she said as Ralts flipped her hair.

"That was impressive," a voice praised as the trio saw Lucas walk up to them. Dratini sat on his shoulder.

"Thanks Lucas," The male coordinator nodded as his smirk grew larger.

"Don't praise her," a voice snapped as Beatrice walked to the group. Bolt immediately started drooling as Alexis punched him down. "If anyone's winning is me!" Buneary walked over and saw Alexis. She walked over to the other female and smiled. Alexis waved back as Ralts eyed Beatrice.

"Now, for the 16 finalists!" Victorian said as she pointed to the board. 16 cards were spreaded out as they flipped to the picture side. Lucas was first, then Alexis, as Beatrice was third. Unimportant people filled up the rest as they were shuffled and put into groups of 4. Lucas was in a division all to himself as Alexis and Beatrice were in the same division.

"Buneary, let's go prepare!" Beatrice ordered as the normal type looked up at Alexis before walking away with her trainer.

"Let the best coordinator win," Lucas offered his hand to the brown haired girl, who accepted it.

XXX

"Now, we're down to our semi finalists!" Victorian stated as the board showed Lucas against some girl and Alexis against Beatrice.

"First, let's have Lucas and Joanne!"

XXX

"Marill is unable to battle, Ralts is victorious!" Victorian announced as the girl picked her Aqua Mouse. Lucas' Ralts pumped his fists as Lucas frowned at the scoreboard. Joanne lost all her points while Lucas' was clean.

"Too easy," he said before he walked off with his Ralts.

"Now, this battle will decide who will go on and face Lucas in the finals! Send out your Pokemon Ladies!"

"Action Glameow!" Bea launched her dual colored ball. Her cat jumped out as a trail of rainbow lights followed after her.

"Time To Shine Fennekin!" Alexis shouted as her fire fox landed with flames around her.

"2:00 on the clock. Begin!" Victorian stated as the clock started running.

"Shadow Claw Glameow!" Beatrice commanded as her cat extended her claw, which grew a shadow appearance. The Catty Pokemon dashed towards Fennekin, who growled at the sight of the Pokemon once more.

"Send Embers her way!" Alexis countered as Fennekin spat multiple fire sparks that were cut by Glameow's claw. Alexis' points trickled at the power of the normal type.

"Give me a Shock Wave Glameow!" Glameow smiled as she released a wave of yellow electricity that flew towards Fennekin. Alexis looked at the surge of voltage before she snapped her fingers at an idea.

"Blow on it with Psybeam!" the fire fox shot a wave of light pink and blue psy beams that smashed into the Shock Wave. The battle created sparks of yellow, pink, and blue as the Shock Wave was thrown into the air and broke apart. Dozens of sparks fell down as Beatrice's points fell by ¼.

"What?" Beatrice gasped, seeing her points hit the deck. She looked at Alexis with an angry expression before she shot her hands forward.

"Thunder Sword technique!" Glameow extended her spring tail to a long metallic coating. Afterwards, she transferred a heavy amount of voltage to her tail before Glameow jumped in the air. The normal type showed her tail as the audience became mesmerized by the sight. Alexis' points dropped a ton after the display of Glameow's power and beauty. "Charge!" The Catty Pokemon descended with her tail forward, hoping to strike Fennekin.

"Flame Charge to counter!" Fennekin gained an armor of fire before she shot up into the sky. Glameow whipped her tail back so she could add more force to the collision. However, Alexis smirked as she cleared her throat. "Now spin!" Fennekin timed the spin perfectly as Glameow's supercharged tail missed and saw the fox dodge, releasing some fire sparks along the way before she was on top of Glameow. Beatrice's points dropped to there being ⅓ left. But Alexis wasn't done yet with her assault.

"Shoot a Flamethrower down!" Alexis shouted as Fennekin reared her head back only to release a strong wave of heat down at the cat. The blonde coordinator looked carefully at the move before she ordered her cat.

"Stop it with Shock Wave!" Glameow shot the familiar stream of voltage that held the flames in place. Alexis and Fennekin looked in shock as their best move was stopped cold. "Now climb it with Shadow Claw!" Beatrice instructed as Glameow's paws grew a dark aura to them and started charging up the flames. Once the cat jumped off, the Flamethrower exploded in sparks of red and yellow, which gave Glameow the added boost. Alexis' points sunk from the combination as she growled at the sight of Glameow as she stuck Fennekin down to the ground.

"30 seconds left and neither coordinator is moving an inch!" Victorian stated, amazed at the battle between these rivals.

"I'm not through yet Beatrice! Use Psybeam Fennekin!" Alexis shouted as Fennekin prepared to lean her head back. Glameow saw this coming and dashed forward.

"I got you Glameow! Fake Out!" Fennekin was stopped cold as Glameow smashed her front paws on her small furry face. The Kalos started rolled back as a small trickle of points were lost from Alexis' total amount.

"Run with Ember!" Fennekin shook off the damage and ran towards the Catty Pokemon. As she ran, she fried several darts of fire the smashed into Glameow. Beatrice's points decreased due to damage on her Pokemon.

"I've had enough! Spring up with your tail!" Beatrice exclaimed as Glameow leaped high into the air, stopping Fennekin's attack. "Now come down hard with Shadow Claw!" The sky shone for a quick second as Glameow was seen encased in a shadow armor as she fell down. Her claw was still extended, but it grew larger every time she got closer. Fennekin looked in shock as Glameow pounced on her as a cloud of smoke appeared. After the smoke cleared, Alexis could see Fennekin fainted on the ground and her points depleted.

"Fennekin is unable to continue and all of Alexis points are gone. Beatrice moves on to the final round!"

A roar of claps filled the stadium as Alexis picked up her fire type. Beatrice picked her Pokemon up and shot Alexis a look. Alexis started to sniffle and ran off the stage.

"You did great Alexis," Bolt said, trying to pick his friend up.

"If it makes you feel better, Beatrice got smashed by Lucas," Tyson stated. Alexis nodded as she walked with her friends.

"I need to get better," Alexis said. She tightened her arms around Fennekin as she looked up at her trainer. "Next time, I'll beat Beatrice!" she proclaimed as her friends nodded.

"We'll be here to help you out!" Tyson shouted. Bolt nodded as Alexis ran forward in front of her friends.

"Let's get going! I have to train as soon as possible!" Alexis ordered as she ran out of town. Tyson and Bolt snickered at Alexis and ran after her.

Well, that was a doozy how Ryan would put it. Alexis did great until the semifinals where Beatrice barely won, in my perspective. Now, we know Lucas has a Dratini and Ralts while Beatrice owns a Buneary, who took a liking to Alexis.

Next Time: Babysitting a Muncher

Who had the best appeal performance?

Do you think Alexis should've won?

How did you like the contest? I'm open to any feedback seeing as this was my first.

Hey everybody, Tyson's here giving you the rundown of what's going to happen next time. The gang stops at the Day Care Center and decide to help out. It was peaceful until a Pokemon living there thought it was okay to start picking on one of the weaker residents. I'm not going to stand by and let this so happen. It's time for the bully to get rocked!
