Chapter Four - The Couple's Contest
We now join Ash, Misty, Pikachu & Brock inside the Pewter City Pokemon Contest Hall where they are registering for the Pewter City Couple's Contest...
"Hello, and welcome to the Pewter City Contest Hall, how may I be of assistance?" Said the woman behind the desk.
"We would like to register for the Couple's Contest." 'And I know we can win it!' Ash thought to himself.
"Sure, may I take the names of the participants?" The woman said.
"Ash & Misty." They both said together. Staring at each other lovingly.
"And, I'd like to register Brock & Suzie if I may." Brock added suddenly going into cute-girl mode about Suzie.
"No problem at all, okay your all registered! The contest is tomorrow at 2:00pm, goodbye and good luck!" Said the woman giving them a smile.
So they were now registered... let's leap forward to the next day at 1:30pm, 30 minutes before the contest.
"Grr... can't find any decent dresses to wear!" Said Misty, cursing herself for not going shopping for one.
"Misty, you look beautiful in anything you choose to wear." Said Ash giving Misty a little wink.
"Thanks, Ash. Okay then I'll wear this one!" Misty announced, pulling out a blue dress out of her closet.
She quickly changed in the bathroom and came out to show Ash.
"So... what d'ya think?" Misty asked hoping for a positive comment.
"Whoa... astonishing! You look simply amazing, Mist." Ash said, giving her the thumbs up.
"You look amazing yourself Ash, very handsome." It was Misty this time giving Ash a little wink, causing Ash to blush madly.
Fast forward to 1:55pm and we are joining Ash, Misty, Brock, Suzie & Pikachu meeting up outside the Contest Hall right before the contest.
"Hey guys!" Ash said waving to Brock & Suzie.
"Hey, pal." Brock said in return.
"...Forgetting someone Brock?" Misty said tapping her foot in irritation.
"Hm? Oh! Hey there! ...Pikachu!" Brock said still unaware Misty was getting even more iritated by the second.
Misty got out her mallet and hit Brock round the head with it.
"You forgot me!" Misty said letting out a 'hmph' afterwards clearly not satisfied.
"Ah, forget it Misty! Brock didn't mean to..." Ash said trying to cheer Misty up. It didn't work one bit.
So he pulled her in closer to him and brought his lips to hers.
When they broke apart Ash said...
"Better now?" Ash gave Misty a wink as he said that.
"Hmm... almost." Misty said clearly wanting another kiss.
So Ash gave her another peck on the lips. "Better NOW?"
"Yep!" Misty said cheerfully, her bad mood totally lifted.
"Anyway, better get to the contest it's about to start!" Ash said dragging Misty towards the Contest Hall with Brock & Suzie close behind.
Fast forward to 2:00pm...
"Ladies & Gentleman, welcome to the Pewter City Couple's Contest! Let me explain the rules. There will be two different rounds. First is the round where each couple will use their Pokemon to try to bring out the best in them and impress the judges! In the final round we'll be having contest battles with the final 4 couples. Then we'll have the 2 remaining couples battle it out to see who can win the prize! This years prize is a cruise around Kanto! Now let's meet our judges!" The host explained.
"First up we have... Mister Contesta!"
"Great to be here!"
"Next we have... Mister Sukizo!"
"I'm sure everyone will be remarkable!"
"And finally... Pewter City's very own Nurse Joy!"
"I'm looking forward to see the kinds of Pokemon these couples have with them today!"
"And now... on with the Appeals Round!"
"Let's welcome on our first couple... Brock & Suzie!"
"Marshtomp, take the stage!" Brock said as he chucked a Poke Ball which opened to reveal a Water/Ground type Pokemon.
"Go, Vulpix!" Suzie released her loyal Fire type Pokemon.
"Vulpix, Will-O-Wisp!"
Vulpix shot purple fire from it's mouth into the air.
"Marshtomp hit it with Mud Shot!"
Marshtomp released some bullets of mud towards the Will-O-Wisp and the attacks exploded.
"Wow, amazing combination showing the power of the two attacks obviously come from two powerful Pokemon!"
"And now..." Brock began.
"...for the finale!" Suzie added.
"SWIFT ATTACK!"
Both Pokemon used Swift which collided with each other and exploded into tiny little stars and surrounded Vulpix & Marshtomp.
"That final Swift combination really showed the coolness of Vulpix & Marshtomp" Mister Contesta explained.
"I have only one comment... remarkable!" Added Mister Sukizo.
"I was blown away by the combinations used here!"
And so the appeals kept on coming.
"And it's time for the final appeal, please welcome Ash & Misty!"
"Alright, come on out Noctowl!" Ash threw a Poke Ball and out came a Psychic/Flying type bird Pokemon.
"You too, Starmie!" Misty threw the Poke Ball and out came a blue water type Pokemon with a gem in the middle of it.
"Starmie, Bubblebeam!" Misty commanded.
Starmie let out a stream of bubbles into the air above it.
"Take control of the with Confusion, Noctowl!"
Noctowl's eyes glowed and suddenly the Bubblebeam stopped in mid-air.
"Now!" Ash yelled to Noctowl.
And with that command Noctowl used the Confusion to make the Bubblebeam explode into tiny sparkles?
The sparkling of the exploded Bubblebeam made Noctowl & Starmie shine.
"Bravo, nice combination!" Said Mister Contesta.
"Remarkable!" Added Mister Sukizo.
"The remains of the Bubblebeam really made both Pokemon shine!" Nurse Joy added, clearly amused by the appeal.
"Now here are the final 4 couples moving on into the Semi-Finals!"
"Through first is... Ash & Misty!"
"Yes!" Misty cheered.
"We made it!" Ash pulled Misty into a long passionate kiss.
"The final couple through is... Brock & Suzie!"
"Yes!" They said in unison, embracing each other in a hug.
"Congratulations, you two!" Brock said to Ash & Misty.
"Back at ya!" Ash replied.
"See you in the final!" Ash added raising his fist into the air.
"You bet!" They all said.
End of Chapter Four!
