Contest Arena

"Hello everyone and welcome to the second match of the third round. To my left is Zoey from Snowpoint City, and to my right is LaRoussse City's Drew!"

Marian proceeded to spin the wheel in a counter-clockwise motion. "This match will be a Single Battle. So let's begin!"

Zoey then proceeded to reach into her pocket and pull out a Pokeball. "Glameow, let's go." She then threw her Pokeball into the air as her Pokémon appeared in the arena.

After Zoey's Glameow appeared on the field, Drew pulled out a Pokeball from his jacket and called out his Pokemon. "Flygon, it's your time!" After calling out his Pokemon, the Pokeball opened up and his Pokemon appeared in the arena.

After both Pokemon appeared, the timer appeared on screen and the match began.

"Glameow, use Shadow Claw!"

"Flygon, use Sandstorm!"

As Glameow charged at the Dragon type, Flygon flapped its wings and created a sandstorm in the arena, making it hard for Glameow to see. "Glameow, stop your attack." Glameow complied with its trainer's request as her claw returned to normal.

While Zoey prepared for her counter-attack, Drew issued his next command to Flygon. "Flygon, use Dragonbreath!" As Flygon opened its mouth, Zoey had an idea. "Glameow, use Iron Tail!" When Flygon fired his Dragonbreath attack at Glameow, it mixed in with the sand and created a Dragonbreath with the Ground type added to the attack. But as it got closer, Glameow spun its Iron Tail around in a circular motion, kicking up some of the sand and mixing with Glameow's Iron Tail attack. When Glameow saw the Dragonbreath attack, Glameow jumped into the air and launched the "Sandstorm Tail" at the Dragonbreath. When both attacks collided, the Dragonbreath overpowered Glameow's attack and Glameow was hit by the Dragonbreath, sending it into the ground.

As Zoey's point total decreased and as Glameow started to get back up, Drew issued his next command. "Flygon, use Flamethrower!" As Flygon opened his mouth again, Zoey issued her next command to Glameow. "Glameow, use Shadow Claw." Glameow then proceeded to charge at Flygon with two Shadow Claws as Flygon fired his attack. But this time, when the Flamethrower got close, Glameow jumped into the air and avoided the Flamethrower. As Drew and Flygon were trying to figure where Glameow was, Glameow managed to find Flygon and hit him in the back with Play Rough. As Flygon hits the ground hard, Drew's point total decreases.

"Good job Glameow." As Zoey smirked, Drew was shocked. How could that Glameow learn a Fairy type attack? As Flygon got back up, the Sandstorm dissipated making it easier for the two Coordinators to see their Pokémon.

"Glameow, use Iron Tail!" "Flygon, use Dragonbreath!"

As Glameow charged up its tail, Flygon fired his Dragonbreath attack at the cat Pokemon. Glameow jumped into the air to avoid the attack, but Flygon tilted his head upwards and managed to hit Glameow in the face. But before Glameow hit the ground, it used its Iron Tail attack as a twister and redirected the Dragonbreath attack back at Flygon, causing super-effective damage.

While both Coordinators' point totals decreased, Glameow began to show signs of exhaustion, while Flygon was barely tired. "Flygon, use Sandstorm!"

After hearing Drew issue his command, Zoey knew what she had to do. I have to stop Drew's Flygon from launching that Sandstorm. If it goes off, it will be a repeat of what happened earlier. "Glameow, use Shadow Claw!" Glameow charged at Flygon with a Shadow Ball on its paws, but Flygon was dodging each and every one of its attacks while also flapping its winds to create the sandstorm. Glameow then proceeded to jump into the air and not only land on Flygon's head but also hit his wings with Shadow Claw, stopping the Sandstorm.

While Flygon was trying to shake Glameow off, Drew's point total decreased. Glameow continued to hit Flygon's wings with Shadow Claw for a few seconds until Flygon was finally able to pull Glameow off of him and throw the cat into the air. "Now Flygon, use Superpower!" Flygon let out his cry and dashed towards Glameow. As Glameow tried to get itself to stop spinning, the cat Pokemon noticed Flygon charging at it and was waiting for Zoey to give a command. "Glameow, use Play Rough!" Glameow nodded its head and charged at Flygon.

Before the two collided, Flygon put his fists in front of his body while Glameow proceeded to do the same. As Flygon hit Glameow with Superpower, Glameow punched Flygon hard in the face with Play Rough. As both Pokemon were freefalling, Glameow dashed towards Flygon and grabbed onto him. "Flygon, use Flamethrower!" As Flygon opened his mouth, Zoey gave a command to her Glameow. "Glameow, use Shock Wave!" Glameow then decided to aim its tail at Flygon's mouth as Glameow fired its Shock Wave attack while Flygon fired his Flamethrower attack.

As both Pokemon took damage from the combinated attack, they hit the ground hard as the two attacks exploded and created fireworks for the audience.

After the dust cleared, Marian proceeded to speak into the microphone. "Time!"

As both Coordinator's turn their attention to Marian, she proceeds to announce the winner. "Oh boy this was a close match. But by a one point difference, the winner is Zoey!"

As the audience roared with applause, both Coordinators went to go return their Pokémon to their Pokeballs before returning to the center of the arena to give the regular handshake. Zoey held out her hand and smiled. "Great job Drew, it could have gone either way." Drew then smirked and accepted the handshake. "Thanks Zoey, good luck in the semi-finals and tell May I wish her luck."

As Zoey nods her head to Drew's request, Drew walks out of the arena as Zoey returns to the waiting room.

Waiting Room

When Zoey returned to the waiting room, she was greeted by Dawn. "Great job Zoey." Zoey then responded. "Thanks Dawn, now we have a chance for that rematch."

As Zoey and Dawn return to their seats, Suzy and The Black Greninja get up and wait near the TV screen for their names to be called.

The Black Greninja proceeds to break the ice with Suzy. "So Suzy-Q, it looks like we face each other next."

Suzy then proceeds to grit her teeth and point a small pistol at Black Greninja's head. "No one calls me that nickname and gets away with it. So how bout you shut up before I hit you with this Tranquilizer bullet."

The Black Greninja lowers the pistol and looks directly into Suzy's eyes. "If you want to shut me up, you will have to defeat me in battle and remove my mask."

Suzy then smirked before putting her pistol away. "Fine then, I will remove that mask of yours Tobi."

They glared at each other for a few moments before they were called down for their match.
