Chapter 7: First Contest

Last Time:

There before her eyes were about 50 people, all staring at the newcomer. She lifted her chin in defiance to their stares and walked to the back of the room. Most of them shook their heads and turned back to the screen. Yuri looked at it too. An announcer with curly red hair, a green blouse, and a green mini skirt was announcing the start of the contest. Yuri looked away and zoned out.

Someone looked at Yuri from afar, chuckling silently. "Easy prey."

Yuri looked up quickly as she heard her name called by the announcer. "All right it's my turn!" Yuri said excitedly as she ran towards the stage. She had already seen the majority of contestants do their appeals. Some were obviously amateurs like her, but some were really good.

"Okay, here is Yuri!" The announcer, whose name was Cillian, shouted as Yuri ran onto the stage. Yuri smiled and waved at the crowd.

"Okay, let's do this Mystic!" Yuri threw the pokeball in the air and out came Mystic.

"And it looks like Yuri is going to do her appeal with her ralts!" Cillian commented for the audience.

"Mystic use confusion!" Yuri commanded. Mystic concentrated and soon a blue light surrounded it. It started to levitate up.

"Look at that! Her ralts is using confusion to levitate itself up off the ground." Cillian shouted.

"Now Mystic! Use calm mind!" Yuri told her pokemon. In the air Yellow waves began to surround Mystic. The all covered the pokemon until she was glowing with green (Note: because blue and yellow make green XD).

"What's this?" Cillian exclaimed.

"Okay, finish it up with hidden power!" Yuri shouted. The ralts began to glow even brighter and then it explode, balls of blue and yellow energy shot towards the crowd.

"Amazing! What a magnificent display by Yuri!" Cillian shouted. Yuri smiled and caught her ralts as it fell towards the ground. "Now let's see what the judges have to say."

Everyone looked at the three judges.

"Great show, 9."

"Absolutely remarkable! 10!"

"Your pokemon and you obviously share a close bond, 9!"

"And Yuri finishes with a 28! Good job!" Cillian said. The audience clapped and Yuri ran off the stage waving.

Back in the room, Yuri started to find Leo waiting for her. "That was okay I guess." He said arrogantly. Yuri smiled at him.

"Thanks Leo." She said happily and kissed him on the cheek. Leo nodded and walked off back to his seat, blushing.

"Is this your first contest?" A voice from behind her asked. Yuri turned and blinked in surprise. A boy of about her age smiled cockily at her. He had green hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a red shirt with a black vest and blue jeans.

"Yeah, it is." Yuri said, slightly shyly.

"My name is Taichi, you?" He said.

"Yuri, nice to meet you Taichi." She answered.

"Well Yuri, I hope to see you in finals." Taichi said, and then walked to the stage as his name is called.

On the stage, Taichi summoned his houndour. "Go Houndour! Use ember." The houndour roared and shot a spur of fire to the ground, propelling it into the air.

"Amazing!" Cilian commented.

"Now fire spin followed by fire blast!" Taichi yelled.

Houndour jumped through a ring of fire and then shot out a large stage like fire blast.

"Finally, faint attack!" Taichi commanded.

Houndour jumped right in the middle of the fire star and disappeared for a second as he faint attacked right into the center, turning the star black.

"And what an amazing appeal by Taichi!" Cillian shouted.

"Superb! 10."

"Absolutely remarkable! 10"

"You are perfectly in sync with your houndour! 10"

"And a perfect score of 30!" Cillian shouted. The audience cheered. Taichi flicked his hair and walked off the stage.

As he came into the room, Yuri ran up to him. "That was amazing Taichi!"

Taichi smirked, "Anyone can do that if they put their minds to it."

"That was the last contestant! Let's see who advances to the next round!" Cillian announced. The two turned towards the screen.

First was Taichi, then some guy with purple hair, then Yuri, then five other people. (I don't really want to say who…it doesn't matter really )

"We made it!" Yuri said exitedly.
