Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon!

Chapter 6: Round 3 Part 1: May vs Cher, Iris vs Mona

The group followed the troupe to the third and final room for the last contest between two trio of girls. Moira opened the door as everyone saw a battlefield surrounded by a pool of mud.

"I remember this part alright." Nini said as Miette and Shauna nodded as Moira then held up three fingers.

"Rule Number 3!" She announced. "In our troupe, we believe that a true beauty of our Pokémon lies within its strength." She said as her two companions joined her. "On this battle field, we have a special rule, if the Pokémon gets defeated, so does its trainer."

"And how is that?" Serena asked as Moira chuckled.

"The loosing Pokémon will be covered in mud, as well as the trainer." She said with a wicked grin on her face that earned a surprise gasp from May, Serena, Bonnie and Clemont.

"So that's how Shauna and the others got covered in mud." Ash said to himself.

"So do you still wish to continue, or do you three want to forfeit?" Moira asked as a determined look fell on Serena's face.

"We never back off from a challenge." She said as Moira grinned.

"Then let's begin." She said as the first two up were Cher and May.

"It's going to be a shame for you." Cher said as May was confused.

"What do you mean?" May asked as Cher smiled.

"Just look at yourself, you've got a lot of skin on your stomach and arms exposed, not real lady like." Cher said. "And when I'm done with you, both skin and dress will be covered in mud." May smirked at Cher's words.

"Tough talk for someone in a man's formal attire." She said as Cher's expression went from a smirk to a scowl.

"Battle begin!" Moira shouted.

Cher and Roseradette vs May and Delcattyette

"Let's go Roseradette, use Poison Sting!" Cher commanded her grass type as it shot out dozens of purple stingers.

"Dodge them!" May said as the feline dodge them all. "Now use Blizzard!" She said as Delcatty unleashed a flurry of ice and snow.

"Dodge and use Bullet Seed!" Cher said as the grass type dodged and unleashed several green seeds.

"Dodge again!" May said as Delcatty dodged them but then got close to the edge as everyone gasped as one more bullet seed came towards her. "Now use Protect!" She said as a barrier surrounded the normal type as the bullet seed was destroyed by the barrier. Cher was growling in frustration.

"I've been going easy on you but now it's time, Roseradette now!" She said as the red and blue flowers on Roserade begun to glow.

"Uh, oh I know what that is." May said as Delcatty knew as well.

"Now unlease Solar Beam!" She said as a green flash was heading towards Delcatty.

"Quick Delcattyette use Blizzard one more time!" May cried out as Delcatty unleashed her blizzard one more time as the two collided.

"Don't give ups Roseradette." Cher said cheering on her partner.

"Hang in there Delcattyette!" May said as Delcatty continued to unleash her blizzard. However Roserade's Solar Beam was just to strong as it began to push Delcatty.

"Well it looks like it's all over for you two." Cher said with a grin on her face.

"Think again." May said as Cher was confused as she looked back as she saw Delcatty began to fight back.

"Oh no!" Cher cried out.

"Now!" May shouted as Delcatty let out a full powered Blizzard as it overpowered the Solar Beam and hit Roserade as she flew backwards hitting her trainer as the two fell into the mud.

"Oh no, not again." Cher groaned in defeat as Delcatty ran over to her trainer.

"Great job Delcatty." May said giving her partner a hi-paw. Soon it was Mona and Iris's turn to go.

"Alright, here we go Emolgaette, just like last time." Iris said her partner looking determined.

"And begin!" Moira cried out as the second match begun.

Mona and Lilligantette vs Iris and Emolgaette

"Use Discarge!" Iris called out to her Pokémon releasing discharged lightning.

"Counter with Energy Ball!" Mona said as her grass type released a ball of green energy as the two moves collided creating a puff of smoke. Just then a seed appeared from the smoke as green vines appeared out of it covering Emolga as it began to sting at her.

"Was that Leech Seed?" Iris asked as Mona let out a hysterical laugh.

"It most certainly was." Mona answered back. "Beautiful is it not?"

"Way to go Mona!" Cher cheered as Iris growled.

"Well, we're just going to have to fix that." Iris said. "Now Emolgaette fly up!" Iris said as Emolga struggling against the Leech Seed was soon air born. However Mona's eyes narrowed.

"Not so fast." She said "Now Lilligantette use Petal Blizzard! She said as Lilligant unleashed several thousand petals into the air aiming right at Emolga.

"Try to dodge them." Iris cried out to her partner. But try as she may against the Leech Seed, Emolga wasn't able to as the Petal Blizzard hit her as she began to drop.

"Now use Energy Ball!" Mona said as Lilligant hit a falling Emolga as flew right into Iris as the two fell into the mud earning a gasp from Serena and the others.

"Iris!" Ash cried out concerned for his friend. Suddenly from out of the mud, jumped out Iris and her Emolga, Iris had torn off her dress revealing her traveling attire she was wearing from underneath, but her Pokémon still covered in mud.

"What's all this?" Moira asked in surprise as Iris let out a hysterical laugh once again mocking the troupe.

"Just a little back up in case I did end up losing." Iris said. "Plus Emolga and I don't mind a little mud." She said as the two then held up two fingers winking at Moira annoying her more, but she took a breath and calmed down.

"No matter." She said. "That still counts as a loss, meaning the series is tied, so that leaves the two captains." She said as she stared at both Serena and her Braixen. "So my dear Serena, are you ready?" She asked as Serena gulped knowing it was her time.
