A/N: ok, here is chapter 5!... well, this isn't actually a chapter, more of a teaser, you'll find out why...

After five short minutes at oreburgh gate, June and Ukko emerged covered in dust and stone chips, but with huge grins on their faces.

Oreburgh had never looked so pretty, or majestic. With its array of different sized houses, all made of steel which glinted in the sunset brightly. Smells of food cooking and sounds from the market filled June's mind. Her gaze wandered over the city, taking up all of the view until she spotted what she had been looking for.

"Ukko, look! The gym!" she squealed excitedly, pointing her finger at the gym not too far away from view. "D'ya think Roark's in?" she asked.

Without waiting for an answer, June sped off towards the gym happily, her boots pounding the earth. Ukko sighed and followed far behind June. Why can't she keep still?

June ran towards the front door and knocked on it determinately, grinning victoriously as if she had already won the coal badge.

"Hello? Anyone there?" she shouted, knocking harder. She waited.

Nothing

"I'm June, I've come to challenge you, Roark!" she screamed, banging her fist on the door a little too hard.

"Ooow" she whimpered, clutching her throbbing hand and rubbing the reddened spot on her fist. Fuming, she picked up Ukko (although he would have preferred to stay on the ground) and stomped out, growling something about stupid gym leaders not taking care of their gyms when it's clearl-

"He's not in, you know" a girls voice taunted behind her "and cracking your hand open won't bring him back, he's got WAY more important things to do than attend snotty brats"

June froze, and already she could feel herself turning bright red.

"W-well, it's his duty to be here" she mumbled sheepishly, not wanting to turn around to face the girl.

"My mew, misinformed much? Haven't you heard?" the girl said, the taunting tone in her voice growing. "If you're gonna travel somewhere, you should at least know what's happening there"

"Oh, and you do?" said June, turning imperiously to face the girl.

The girl had long blue hair, partly hidden under a red beret. She had a pale complexion and a grey jumper with red badges on it, she wore a pair of black shorts and white and blue trainers and had cold, dark purple eyes.

The girl flicked a strand of hair out of her eyes and frowned at the little girl, who was staring curiously at her features.

"What are you staring at?" she snapped rudely, examining the girl in front of her, who didn't lift her gaze, there was something odd about this girl, no doubt about it. She examined her closely and it finally made sense.

"...wait, June? June Fletcher?" she asked shyly, inspecting the girl closely, June gasped and nodded.

"Whoa, Mandy! It really is you!" June cried happily, flinging her arms around her friend.

Mandy grinned. "It's been a long time, eh June?"

"Ya think? Why did you stop sending those postcards? I really liked the ones from heart- oh god, don't t-tell me you brought him..." June paled and backed away, pointing at a lone Pokémon that had been sitting in Mandy's shadow all the time.

"What, Harkie? Oh come on, don't tell me you haven't gotten over that" said Mandy, motioning to Harkie. "Look, he's much better behaved now, see!" Mandy picked up Harkie and showed him to June, who Harkie recognised immediately.

As soon as he saw June, he snarled and bristled, showing her rows of needle-sharp teeth June knew too well. June screeched and backed away, holding Ukko as though he were a houndour-reppellent.

"YEEK! Get that thing away from meee!" screeched June, cowering away from Harkie, while Mandy tried to quieten him down.

"Heheh, uh, you see, he gets really nervous around electric types..." she lied, struggling with a growling Harkie who was trying to wriggle out of her arms as though his life depended on it. It was a few whole minutes until Mandy finally decided to put Harkie into his poke ball and for June to stop shrieking, after many apologies from Mandy, June and Mandy were soon in the Pokémon centre, huddling around hot chocolate mugs and chatting about their adventures.

"so you see, I kinda gave up on fighting fantina, she's really tough, you know, so I came here for the diamond cutters' to see if I'm any good at contests..."

"Wait, hold on a second, what's a diamond cutters?" asked June, wiping chocolate froth off her lip.

"Wow, so you REALLY don't know?" asked Mandy. "I thought you were only joking!"

"But what IS it?" asked June.

"Well, you see, it's a contest, but not just any contest" explained Mandy. "the diamond cutters' is the first contest oreburgh has had in five years! You see... what's special about this contest is that it's more of a charity contest... you see, there's a lot of Pokémon breeders out there and they leave Pokémon eggs in Pokémon centers, and what happens is that sometimes these breeders forget their Pokémon eggs here and..."

"Wait, forget their Pokémon eggs?" asked June.

"Shush, anyway, when an egg has spent five years in the store room, the breeder officially loses his rights to the egg and the egg now belongs to the Pokémon centre. But, you see, these eggs have been building up, and the Pokémon centre has decided to give some away, great choice if you ask me..."

"Wow... that's awesome! ... What do I do to get inside this contest?"

"Nothing! Well, you need good Pokémon, of course, maximum three, and they can't be rock types because Roark is a judge and he loves them, so it would be a bit biased"

"Hmm... well, I'm ready for this contest! I'm gonna win first place and a Pokémon egg!"

"Well, you've got to get ready soon..."

"Why? When's the diamond cutters anyway?"

"Tomorrow night"

"WHAT?"

A/N: ok guys, if you want your OC to be in the diamond cutters' remember to include your OC's contest dress, your Pokémon's contest appeals (optional) and anything else you can think of. See you soon!
