Chapter 7

Now That's an Entrance!

Music. Cheering. May was just tying on her bandanna when she heard the commotion. She got up and looked out of the window in her bedroom and saw a crowd in front of a stage where a band was preforming. She ran downstairs, grabbing Drew who had just come out of his room, also hearing the commotion outside. As they neared the door, she met the rest of her friends who were talking about the possibilities of what was going on as Ash was talking to Looker.

"...phen and Cynthia were in the newly discovered region, Kalos, with Alder. This means that our mission is suspended indefinitely." Ash nodded, a grim look on his face.

"So there are new Champions for Hoenn and Sinnoh. Who?"

"Can't tell you. You will learn during the ceremonies. Speaking of which..." He pulled out an air horn and a high pitched blast rang out. "Gather around please." The startled group came over, grumbling about the air horn.

"Okay everyone, you have all been brought here to be exhibition battlers and judges for the first annual Champion's Court. This event will have both battles and contests and you will be the judges for both of these tournaments. These are the opening ceremonies and you will be introduced in pairs and groups." He read off the groups and we got together with the people we were paired with and Looker motioned us through the door.

The group wound up next to the stage. A voice, amplified by speakers spread around the town announce the first group.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please help me in welcoming Ash Ketchum and Dawn Berlitz to the first annual Champions Court in Pallet Town. Ash, of course, started his journey here ten years ago on this day! He has since grown to become the first ever trainer to be Champion in three separate regions at once! Also, welcoming the lovely Dawn Berlitz, from Twinleaf Town in Sinnoh. She is currently the newest MC in Sinnoh, having been offered the job after she won the Sinnoh Native Pokémon Contest. However, it's not only Contests she is good at! She is currently the Sinnoh League Champion having defeated Cynthia the defending champion just three weeks ago.

At this, Ash shot a stunned look at Dawn. She smirked and pulled him out. They walked arm and arm as they waved to the crowd.

Next up, we welcome the Prince and Princess of Hoenn! Please welcome May Maple from Petalburg City and Drew LaRousse from LaRousse City! These two are the winners of the most recent Hoenn Native Pokémon contests with May winning the individual contests and together winning the partner contest!

May glanced behind her and saw Misty and Brock. She shared a knowing smile with her before Drew and May walked out to join Ash and Dawn. Ash shook hands with Drew as Dawn gave May a hug. Then Dawn hugged Drew and Ash hugged May.

"Good work!" He smiled at her.

Next up are two Kanto natives, if you are trying to beat the Kanto Pokémon League and Ash, you will have to beat these two first. Please welcome our very own Elite four members, Brock Slate from Pewter City and Misty Waterflower from Cerulean City!

Brock and Misty walked to the growing line of Trainers and Coordinators and received a similar welcome as May and Drew did.

Up next! Straight from the mysterious region of Unova, here is the Straiton City Gym Leader and Class A Connoisseur, Cilan and the Opelucid City Gym Leader and a dragon master who is sure to give even Clair a run for her money, is Iris! These two both have managed a gym before but now also have the responsibility of being two of Champion Ash's Elite four in Unova!

Iris and Cilan joined Ash and his friends on the stage.

Next, we extend a hand of welcome to the Sinnoh Elite four as chosen by Dawn! We welcome Barry, Lyra, Lucas and Paul!

Lyra rushes out with Barry to the group, almost knocking over Ash with a hug. Paul walks up and shakes Ash's hand, smiling along with Lucas.

Next, the last but certainly not least of our guests are from both Sinnoh and Unova. Please welcome the final two Unova Elite four, Trip and Cameron! And also the highest qualified Pokémon Connoisseur Sinnoh has ever seen, and the runner up of the last Sinnoh Native Contest! Help me welcome Leona and Kenny!

The last of the group made it's way to the center of the street.

Well folks, here they are! Your Champion's Court Judges and Exibition Battlers!

The crowd exploded. The group ion the stage was dazzling as they waved to the crowd, smiling. After what seemed like forever, the crowd slowly dispersed leaving our heroes with some well earned quiet time. Drew started walking back to the house, but stopped halfway there and turned around, laughing.

"Now THAT'S an Entrance!"
