Akia, might seem Mary-Sued, be seriously, she isn't. She might seem like it at first, but everything will be explained. Some is on this part, some the next. This Chapter 3 has a good bit of explaining, but not all of it. As i say, everything will be explained. Any more questions be sure to review/pm me the question and i will answer them. Now the 2nd part of this chapter will come out as soon as i can, as i just finished this part! Enjoy!
Edit (23/02/14): Damn I'm editing these quick! Anyways I only cut some bits out and edited some stuff, most is the same for this part.
Disclaimer: I do NOT OWN Pokemon, however I do own the rest, like the plot, OCs and region.. However I DO NOT OWN Demond Powzer. He's my friends.
Chapter - 3 - Part 1: New Goals
Akia's POV
We got to the pokemon centre and let Nurse joy look after our pokemon. Me and Demond sat down at the cafe to get something to drink.
"Oi, Akia." Demond called.
"What?" I snapped.
"How do pokemon evolve?"
"Every Pokemon has a different way to evolve. Some had to gain fighting experience to evolve, while others have to bond with the trainer enough. Some have to evolve with a certain stone, others have to train in a certain area to evolve, or train in a certain time. Even if you evolve a pokemon, it might have different forms when it evolves. It varies depending on the pokemon." I explained. It was a nice simple lecture.
"Really? I didn't know that." He answered.
"Oh course you didn't. You don't know ANYTHING." I remarked back.
"Hey! I do know some things." He said in his defence.
"Anyways, we are not here for an argument."
"Oh yeah." He replied. I noticed that he isn't shouting that much anymore. Probably because we are in the pokemon centre at night when the pokemon and people are sleeping.
"Now let us get our pokemon from Nurse Joy and go to that contest. You wanted to compete to win against your sister right?" I asked.
"He- .. Yeah I do." He stopped himself from yelling. Which, I was thankful for. I got up and he followed suit and with that we got our pokemon and went to the contest hall. On the way there, he asked me.
"What do you do in contests anyways?"
"Well there is two parts in it. The part where you show off your pokemon's skills and how styish as they call it, your pokemon do it. The second part is where you battle against someone else, but the more stylish the move you use against the opponent, the lower their health bar goes. There is a screen where their health bars of both pokemon are. There is a 5 minute time limit. You have to get their health bar down to nothing, or they will decide by which one is lower as the loser. That's all there is to it." I explained.
"Oh, how many pokemon?"
"One for both."
"I see. Then who should I use?"
"That, my friend, is your own decision," And with me saying that, we got to the building. We entered and it was like I expected it to be. Demond, however, was in awe.
"Woah! This place is amazing." He said.
"I thought that the first time. It gets boring after a while, gets very repetitive." I remarked. The building, well, we were in the lobby, where you sign up, it was a semi-circle. The door was automatic and glass, they were double. When you got in there was plants either side of you. The floor, was a deep blue colour while the roof, that was domed, was white, to represent the moon. The walls were dark grey. The reception was to the left of you with the phones on the right. In the middle were a single door and double door. The single door was brown while the double doors were sky blue. The single door was closer to the reception, vice versa. There were benches at the side of the plants and by some of the walls. Many people were here.
"So where do I go now?" Demond asked.
"The reception is over there." I answered back and he nodded. He ran to the reception and asked if he could join the contest. She said, as it was his first time, that he should of came in the morning, But as there is one space left, he was allowed to join that time last minute. He was grateful of this. Demond had to get his own card made so he gave her his full name and some information. He was given his card, he took it and went for the brown door, while I went through the sky blue doors and got a seat, near the edge mind you. I looked up, it was glass so it showed the sky, and I saw the moon. I smiled and looked to the stage. I noticed a few more people rush in and sat down. The lights that were above the stage were turned on and the contest was under way.
"Hello there people of Lowkin! Here it is! The moonlit contest! There are 10 coordinators today, a full house. They are!" The host boomed into his microphone. "The region's best coordinator, who we are lucky to have today, Starly Powzer! With her beloved NineTales!"
That being said Starly walks in, very proudly, with her NineTales strolling in behind her. Starly was waving to the crowd.
"It's great to be on this stage again! The stage that I had my first ever contest. And I lost it. I did just begin being a coordinator. I remember it so well. I remember having NineTales here win me my first contest, which is why I am using her today! But that aside, lets get back to the present and get this contest over with!" Starly proclaimed.
"So how do you feel right now Starly?" The Host asked.
"I feel great! I know this contest will be a great show!"
"Oh alright! Please stand to the side as I announce the next coordinator!" Starly walked to the side of the stage. "Now our next coordinator is Emiko Kojima! Yes the 'Girl in Blue' as we know her! With her attractive Luxary!" Emiko walked on stage. In a bored manner it looked like. She was wearing black converses with black pull up socks with sky blue leg warmers. She had a sky blue skirt with a big black cross on the side of it. She also had a black top with a blue cross in the middle of it, a white leather jacket, obviously not done up, and sky blue 'arm' warmers. They were basically leg warmers but on her wrists. She had long and straight black hair with a sky blue dip dye and bright blue eyes. Hey Luxary was casually strolling in behind her, again in a bored manner.
"Now Emiko, how do you feel about this contest? You don't take contests that often do you?"
"I was heavily persuaded to do this contest. And I feel neutral."
"Oh and why Luxary?"
"Well, he wanted to and he hasn't done a contest before, so why not?"
"Thank you! Our next coordinator is! Hiroki Mortzer! With his beautiful Roserade!" Emiko walked to the side next to Starly. The next person to come in was a guy with blonde hair that was both spiky but ruffled up and turquoise eyes. he had a dark yellow arm band on his right wrist. He also had a white top under a thin dark turquoise jacket that seemed too small for him. He had navy blue jeans with a yellow belt. He also had navy blue trainers. His Roserade was walking in smiling.
"Hey guys." He said.
"So how do you feel right now Hiroki?"
"I feel fine. Not too shabby."
"That's great! Now for our next 6 coordinator is Coral Sealo! With her Floatzel! Cotty Hin with her Lilligant! Irilo Ran with her Misdreavus! Lany Trante with her Skitty! Zuzan Olie with his Zorua! Gaffilo Polo with his Minccino!" The 6 of them walked up and waved. [Okay guys. I am not going to do EVERYONE'S clothes, one it would be too long. And I am only going to do the important people.]
"And finally, we have a coordinator that it's his first time in a contest! His name is Demond Powzer! Tell me boy, are you Starly's brother?"
"Problem?" He answered. Did I rub off on him or something?
"Oh no! Of course not!"
"Oh look here now! My brother, did you grow some balls from the last time we met?" Starly said.
"No, someone just rubbed off on me. She is an amazing person, annoying sometimes though. Well not as annoying as you."
"Oh is she in the audience right now?" The host asked.
"Yeah. But I can't tell you who, because if I did, then she would kill me."
"No shit Demond." I muttered so no one can hear.
"Anyways, let's get this contest under way!" The host shouted. "Let's explain this! The first part of this contest is the Audience Show 'em, You must show off your pokemon to the judges. 2 people will be eliminated after this. You will have a break before you have Style 'em up! This is where you battle another and you lower their health bar on the screen with how stylish you make your move! That is all! Let us begin! First up Demond with his Mareep!" The other coordinators walked off back stage and Demon took the centre stage.
"Mareep. You ready?" Demond asked. Mareep nodded. "Okay! Use Thunder Shock!" His Mareep lit up with yellow light and blasted the shock into the air, making it shatter to pieces to rain yellow drops of what looked like powder. The audience, including me, gasped. It looked amazing. I haven't seen anything like this! I have to remember to praise Mareep after this. Well when it is the break anyways.
"That was amazing Mareep! That was so awesome! Thunder wave next!" Demond shouted. His Mareep glowed bright blue and shot a wave of blue thunder, she made it form around her as a dome and it white streaks of light go through the blue dome. It disappeared and a Flaffy appeared where the Mareep was. More gasping was heard. Claps came right after. "What?" Demond asked, very quietly to himself.
"What an amazing performance from you lad, do you have anything else you would like to show is? That Mareep you had just evolved into a Flaffy. Let's see if you can work with your Flaffy first time." One of the three judges said. Demond looked at his Flaffy, with some slight confusion. His Flaffy looked at him with a smile and nodded at him, to what seemed like she was saying, 'I'm the same as before, just a bit stronger and have more control over my moves. You got this.' Demond smiled back and then said.
"Alright Flaffy, we got this. Use Thunder shock once more!" The audience sighed, as they 'thought' they have seen that move before. But they were blown away, at the power and control that the Flaffy showed. The thunder shock, it flew straight up and hit the glass for a split second before bouncing off and hit the rim of where the glass was connected to the wall, skimmed around it and broke apart and met up in the middle, above Flaffy. The pieces hit each other to break again to rain down around Flaffy. The audience cheered.
"That was incredible Demond! Please go backstage so we can get the next coordinator through." The host came up to him and said. Demond picked up his Flaffy and walked backstage. "Emiko, come on in!" Emiko walked in with her Luxary walking ahead of her.
"Lux, you know what to do." Emiko said, the Luxary ran forward and did Bite. With the momentum of the movement, the Luxary did a back flip and used Shock Wave to flash around him. He threw his head back slightly to his a Spark going and threw his head forward to fire it. He landed on his feet and let electricity run along his fur before he sprang back up to Thunder Fang on the ball the Spark made. When the Luxary got to his feet again, Emiko was by his side.
"Amazing as always Emiko! You always come out with new tricks up your sleeve!" One of the judges exclaimed.
"Wow! What a performance! Emiko everyone! Hiroki, hop on stage!" The host shouted. We heard a Whistle as the duo walked on stage.
"Roseade, Magical leaf with petals!" Hiroki said in a laid back tone. His Roserade brought her bouquets up to throw out leaves and let them twirl around her as she danced with petals. She brought her bouquets forward and the petals and Leaves were thrown forward. "Sweet scent." Roserade spread her arms out and let some scent come out of them, filling up the room with a nice scent.
"Incredible! Fantastical!" A judge shouted.
"Wow! What a performance! That was THE Hiroki guys! Starly, your time to shine is a upon us!" The host shouted into his microphone. It was so loud, I think my ears might fall off by the end of this. Anyways, Starly walked in with her Ninetails by her side.
"Fire Spin with a touch of a Flame thrower." Starly said and her Ninetails did that. Her tails went straight up and had small bits of fire around them and she spit out a flame tornado. She then did her Flame thrower to spiral around the tornado, to make it look like a Christmas tree. "Will – o – Wisp it up." The Will – o – Wisp, was shot on to the 'tree' and it was made to seem like the balls you put on your everyday tree. "Finish it with a Burst!" Starly shouted. Her Ninetails create a ball of flame in her mouth and shot it at the tree; it went inside the tree and made it burst into pieces. Wows were heard from many. I just stared. That was amazing! No wonder she is the region's best coordinator.
"Truely incredible, magnificent!"
"We know who is going to win again huh?" Some of the judges said.
"That was, mind blowing Starly! Next coordinator is –"
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Once all the rest of the coordinators finished the host shouted. "Coordinators, get back on stage my friends!" One by one they came on with their pokemon. "That was an amazing performance out of you all! We need to let the judges think of who would go through so the break is now! See you guys in a bit." And with the host walked off and the audience stood up to, mainly go to the people they were rooting for, so Starly was quite crowded. Some people went to Demond to congratulate him on doing quite well. I picked up my bag and slung it over my shoulder. It was a shoulder bag I got from my sister the other day. It was brown with an Eevee face on it, it was so cute! Anyways, I walked towards him and smiled slightly at him, I don't really smile that often to people, but this time it was needed so I did. I think he was slightly shocked, but he got over it.
"That was great Demond! You did your best and it was good." I said to him. I knelled down to Flaffy. "Flaffy that was great, what you did there was unbelievable. Watching you grow is awesome." I patted her head and stroked it.
"Wait what?" Demond asked me.
"Wait for what?" I answered.
"I remembered something, how did Flaffy trust you so quickly, yet you just met her?"
"Oh that, I'll tell you later, right now it's too late for explaining anything." I explained. I looked behind him and saw that his sister and two other coordinators coming towards us.
"Hey there little bro, you did quite well on stage you know. Probably in the family. So how are you?" Starly asked him.
"Well... I'm alright." He answered.
"These are my friends, we travel with each other. You should know them, Hiroki and Emiko." Starly said.
"Oh Hello." Demond replied.
"Hey there! You did great!" Hiroki complimented.
"Thanks."
"I suppose so too." Emiko replied after.
"Oh and behind him is Akia Fuji, she travelling with Demond here." Starly explained.
"Yo." I said finally to them.
"Heya! So what do you do?" Hiroki asked.
"Me? I'm an Eevee trainer." I replied.
"You are?" They all asked at once.
"You never told Demond either?!" Starly asked.
"I never thought I'd needed to tell anyone, really." I answered.
"What exactly is an Eevee Trainer anyways?" Demond asked me.
"I'll tell you after, it's too late." I replied.
"I still can't believe it! It's so rare to find an Eevee Trainer!" Hiroki said.
"My sister is the Normal type gym, she wanted to be an Eevee Trainer, but as she loved all normal types, she felt like she was neglecting them. So she became a gym leader, and asked me to fulfil her dream, that soon became mine too." I explained.
"I see. And your Eevees so far?" Emiko asked.
"Espeon and an Eevee. Don't forget my Staravia." I said.
"So no stones? Just friendship?" She questioned.
"Am I supposed to tell you my life now?" I remarked.
"I think so."
"Why don't you keep that thought up there?" I finished off.
"Maybe I will." Emiko threw back at me.
"Anyways, it's seems the break is up, time for you guys to see who's through." I encouraged them. They all nodded and walked away, to go back stage. However Emiko stayed behind of a bit.
"So Akia, I would like you to be my rival, but you know, just a friendly one. I don't want any hardcore fights. Just casual, you know." Emiko told me.
"I'd say, why not." I said back. We hugged; looks like this journey might be good after all. "Now go on, break a leg!" I said after a while. I walked back to my seat, picked up my Espeon and put her on my lap. The host came out.
"Hello! And welcome to the second part of the Moonlit Contest! If you have already passed out, then, nightyo! If you haven't then keep awake, many exciting battles are about to commence. The coordinators going through are, In order of best show off, Starly! Emiko! Hiroki! Demond! Coral! Irilo! Zuzan! And finally, Lany!" The Host exclaimed. Cheers were heard as well as 'Aww's "Our first battle is against, Demond and Lany!" Demond and Lany came on stage and took their side.
"You are going down!" Lany taunted.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not your mirror." Demond shot back.
"Begin!" The host shouted.
"Sing your heart out Skitty!" Lany said.
"Thunder wave it 'round Flaffy!" Demond told his Flaffy. The Skitty stood her ground and brought her head up and began to sing a calming tune, that was directed towards the Flaffy, to make her go to sleep. But, Flaffy jumped out of the way and blue sparks formed around her body, before they were shot in a at Skitty dead on. She was now paralyzed.
"Skitty! Are you okay?" Lany asked. "Come we-" She was cut off by her Skitty, growling, as if she was saying I can still fight. "If you say so Skitty. Run up and give that Flaffy a piece of your mind with a double slap!"
"Shock her Flaffy." Demond said, it seemed like he was taking this seriously. Skitty ran up to the Flaffy to give her a double slap, but again, Flaffy dodged it and jumped behind the Skitty. She had now yellow sparks, jumped in the air and did a back flip and did a Thunder Shock at the Skitty, however the Skitty dodged the Thunder Shock.
"Copy Her!" Lany shouted. The Skitty span in a circle twice, having sparkles fall on her and suddenly she had yellow sparks bouncing over her body and she shot her thunder shock at Flaffy.
"Dodge and tackle her down!" Demond said after. Flaffy moved to the side, but a little too late and had a bit of the shock hit her a little at her side. Flaffy then ran forward and hit the Skitty again, dead on. The Skitty flew up in the air and then dropped. She was struggling to get up steady on her feet. I looked to the health bars on the screen, I noticed that both health bars are down to about a quarter of health left. I smiled when I saw that the Skitty's health was just a little lower than Flaffy's.
"Finish it off with a Thunder Shock!" Demond told his Flaffy. She nodded and jumped back, having Sparks over her wool and shot the Shock at the Skitty, finally ending the battle, with only 1 minute to spare. The Thunder Shock came so sudden that the Skitty could not dodge. It was a great battle, I must admit.
"And that concludes the first battle! The skill of this beginner is shining through, must run in the family! Well folks, Demond won this one and is through to the next round. Lany, I'm sorry dear, but you have to go home now, unless you are staying for the rest of the contest, either way, you did well until now, be proud! Now for the next battle, it is between Emiko and Irilo!" The host shouted into his microphone.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
The other fights before the semi-finals were, Starly against Zuzan, Hiroki against Coral. Starly won of course, and Hiroki won, but he was losing at first, but made a huge comeback.
"Now, on to the next round. Our first match of this round is between, Emiko and Demond! Electric vs Electric, how would this turn out!?" Again, the host boomed into his microphone. I swear, my ears will ring so much by the end of this. As they two were coming out for their fight, I checked on Espeon. I smiled at her, caringly. I look back on stage. Emiko had a smirk on her face.
"Hmpf, you think you're going to win? Think again." Emiko said.
"Oh yeah? You sure about that?" Demond questioned back.
"let us begin!" The host shouted.
"Shock him Flaffy!" Demond said.
"Spark." Emiko said in a monotone voice. Flaffy jumped back to steady herself and had sparks all over her and was about to shoot it before Luxary created a Spark from his mouth and threw it at Flaffy, sending her flying back at Demond, fortunately, he was able to catch her.
"Flaffy! Are you okay?" Demond asked. He put his Flaffy down and knelled beside her. Flaffy looked at Demond and nodded, slowly getting up to fight again. "Flaffy, don't push yourself, if you can't continue then don't." Flaffy looked back at Demond and smiled. She turned to the Luxary, determined. "Okay, if you say so, Thunder wave!" Blue sparks flew around Flaffy's body and shot it. However, the Luxary jumped up and dodged the attack and jumped right in front of Flaffy, brought her front legs up and slammed them down to make a Shock wave, causing Flaffy to faint, which automatically means she has lost.
"What a good battle!" The host said.
"You did well for a beginner, Demond. But you still have a long way to go." Emiko commented.
"Thanks. I'll go and get Flaffy fixed up. One day, I will beat you!" And with that Demond went backstage to get Flaffy healed up. Emiko smiled slightly before going off stage too.
"Our final battle for the Semi-finals, is between Starly and Hiroki! This will be a great match, I can just feel it." The host said again. The duo walked on stage and went to their places.
"Oh, you are going down Starly!" Hiroki taunted.
"If you say so, Hiroki, the SECOND best coordinator of the region." Starly remarked. "Actually, if Emiko entered the Regional contest, she would of gotten second."
"Enough of that, BEG-" The host was saying before. An Explosion basted from the ceiling, a metal hand came out from the smoke and grabbed the Pokemon on stage, and tons of others. Including, my Eevee. Espeon was safe, thank god; she had her egg with her. The smoke vanished...
Cliffy! I know! I was going to write more, but the next part wont be as long, so I will put it on the next part. Also, i wanted to get this chapter part out. So yeah, stay tuned, the next part will be out soon!
