DeeDee: Okay, don't feel like doing a chat thingy today....sooooooooooooooooo, ME NO OWNIES POKEMON!!!!!!!!

---------Last time on TLT--------

"Everyone, please welcome.....BRIANNA!!"

"Oh, it looks like you're up Brianna!"

"Good Luck!" Again, they said it at the same time, leading to more blushing.

Brianna scowled as turned to take the stage, quickly whipping an obviously fake smile onto her face.

"This is NOT good!" Brianna thought as she sent out.........A BEAUTIFLY?!?!?!

"When the heck did she get a Beautifly?!" thought May, "I thought that she only had pokemon similar to Drew's? Unless............ GAH!!! I HAVE NO CLUE!!!"

"Calm down May! Don't lose your cool! You need to stay calm and focused if you want to succeed."

"You're right! Thanks Suicoone. But still, I know for a fact that she only had the same pokemon as Drew because she showed them to me before. She even told me that she only had the same pokemon as Drew."

"Hmmm........that does seem a little strange. Did Drew get a Beautifly?"

"I don't think so. I'll ask him."

"Hey Drew."

"Yeah?"

"Did you get a Beautifly?"

"No, why?"

"Cause Brianna has one now."

"Why would that make you wonder if I had one?"

"Because Brianna said to me once 'I only collect the same Pokemon as Drew does!' so I was wondering why she suddenly got a Beautifly."

"Hmmmmm, well maybe she got a little jealous of you."

"Why would she be jealous of me?"

"Because I----"

"NOW LET'S ALL GIVE A WARM WELCOME TO 2-TIME RIBBON CUP WINNER.......MAY MAPLE!!"

"OH! Looks like I'm up! Bye Drew! Wish me luck!" May grinned confidently as she brushed past a smug-looking Brianna.

"Break-a-leg May, literally." Brianna whispered as May passed by.

"Good luck May!" Drew called out as she disappeared through the curtain to the stage.

-----On the stage-----

May pranced towards the middle of the stage. As she arrived at the very center, she executed a back-flip, while at the same time, calling out her Beautifly.

"Beautifly! Take the stage!" As Beautifly gracefully emerged from her pokeball, the crowd went wild.

Just as Beautifly always did, she flew high above and performed a perfect midair spin and soon came to rest on her owners head.

"Okay then! Beautifly, Poison Powder and Stun Spore. Follow up with Silver wind then use Morning, just like we practiced!!"

Beautifly did as it was told and released the Poison powder and Stun Spore, but quickly fused it with a Silver wind and flew into the concoction, glowing with the effects of morning sun; Beautifly seemed to be radiating an aurora of colors.

"Now! Use Gust!!" As Beautifly used Gust, it coated the stage with an ephemeral mist as Beautifly claimed her spot once more on her masters head as the pair struck the pose they had come up with during their practice.

The crowd was speechless as the mist cleared to show the young coordinator and her trusty Beautifly. After a second or two, though, they erupted into glorious applause.

"Let's all give May another hand for that spectacular performance!" The crowd cheered once more as May disappeared behind the curtains to be congratulated by her rival, Drew.

"Wow. So you've gotten a lot better since the last time I was in a contest with you."

"Well I do have two ribbon cups now. What do you expect?!"

"I just thought you would have at least one more. Seeing as I have three."

"We'll just see about that! You're not gonna beat me when the Grand Festival comes around!"

"We'll just have to see about that now won't we?"

"Yeah May! Don't act so confident! I'm sure will beat you by a landslide, you don't even stand a chance!"

"Um, Brianna? Isn't Drew going to fight you too? I wouldn't be so confident on how strong he really his anyway......."

"Hey!" Drew was getting ticked off as they began to ignore him. "Hello? Am I not part of this conversation anymore?"

"NO!!" Drew began to back away slowly as they began to argue once more.

"May!! Stop this nonsense at once! She's only trying to stress you out!"

As Suicoone began to talk to May in her thoughts, May went silent. Brianna began to become confused as she no longer heard May arguing back.

"You know what Brianna?"

"Huh?!"

"See you later." May turned and walked away calmly as Drew, finally seeing that the argument was over, left to catch up with her. Oddly enough, May was even laughing a little. Brianna, on the other hand, was still fuming with annoyance.

Soon, all of the appeals had been finished; the contest was done for the day, only to be opened again the next day to announce the finalists and proceed to the battle portion of the contest.

-------SoledadSoledadSoledadSoledadSoledad-------

"Whew, finally the contest is over for the day."

"NOW WE BEGIN TRAINING!!!" Soledad jolted nearly three feet off the ground.

"Aw man........can't we do it tomorrow Entei?"

"But you promised though!!" Entei was now whining. Again. How many times had he interrupted during the contest?! Even though Entei was amazed by her contest skills, she found his constant comments and adulation very annoying. She didn't even have a good guess on whether or not she had made it to the second round.

"Okay! Okay! Just stop whining! Please! It's beginning to give me a migraine."

"Oh! Okay! I'll whisper then!"

-------DrewDrewDrewDrewDrewDrewDrew---------

Back in Drew's room, he was still confused as to what happened with May Brianna earlier that day.

"That was really odd how they started arguing like that. May never argues with anyone during a contest. Except for me of course. I will admit though. May did look a little cute when she was arguing with Brianna." Drew then began to nod off into his own little dreamland.

-------WOOTWOOTWOOTWOOTWOOTWOOT-------

Yay! I finally completed my first appeals scene! Now I have to start writing my first battle scene.......oh joy.......(sarcastic)

May: Don't worry I'm sure it will be great!

Drew: Or not.

DeeDee: Does he EVER shut up?!

May/Zach: Nope!

DeeDee: Oh well.....sorry it was mostly dialogue this chapter, but yay! New Character!

Brianna: Yup! That's me!

DeeDee: Who said you could come in here!?! -locks Brianna out-

Well that takes care of that!
