Yo my Dreams viewers! I'm so glad I'm writing chapter 10! You've been so supportive! All of you! I'm glad that you liked the last chapter. Anyway, who will win the Contest? Dawn? You'll have to find out.
Disclaimer: I don't own lovely Pokemon.
Chapter 10: Contest Time Part 3!
Dawn's POV
Oh gosh! I got in! I got in! I passed the first round! They like me!
I walk over to Zoey and Kenny to congratulate them as they got past the first round, too.
"Congrats you guys! I'm so glad you're through!" I say to them.
Kenny looks at me weirdly and I smile back.
"I didn't expect anything less from you, Dawn." He says.
"GROUP HUG!" Zoey exclaims.
We pull in for a hug. My head is buzzing for the battle and presence battles. I need to win them all so I can get the Red Ribbon! I'm pumped now!
We all pull away from each other when we hear the signal for the first battle: Kenny and some girl Jessalinda.
That Jessalinda girl has horrible fashion sense. She could a thing or two from me!
When Kenny walks out to have his battle Zoey and I wait patiently. My mind wanders to…Paul. He's just so cute and frowny. And heavenly. What a hottie…
Suddenly, Zoey starts to shake me screaming, "Dawn! No! Weren't you watching? Kenny just lost!"
I look at the screen and I gape. How? Why? Poor Kenny…
When he comes out I take a look at his face I cringe. He looks so sad!
"I can't believe it. I lost. It was my first Contest!" Kenny complains to us.
We pat him on the back and whisper our condolences. He nods and tells us to look at the screen because it's Zoey's turn. We whisper our good luck and she's on her way.
This time, I make an effort to watch her. Some one taps me on the shoulder taking my attention away from the screen.
I turn around and see Paul!
"Um…Only contestants should be here." Kenny says stepping in front of me and talking to Paul.
"No. It's okay. I know him." I say softly.
Kenny nods and steps away. Paul clears his throat and…stops? He looks at Kenny.
"Can we talk in private?" Paul says with a growl.
Kenny shakes his head and steps in front of me again.
"Kenny…" I say with a warning tone.
He nods and walks away.
"Dawn, I just wanted to say that I'm rooting for you. I hope you win. No. I know you'll win. Make sure you look at me in the crowd when things get tough." Paul blurts out.
I look at him for a minute. How sweet! Well…I wished he confessed his undying love for me but that is just a dream. I look into his onyx eyes and I know that I immediately forgive him.
"Let's just hope things don't get tough." I say and hug him.
This time, he returns the hug and he walks off just after he touches my cheek.
I feel my cheek. I'm NEVER gonna wash this cheek again. Wait…EWWWW! I don't wanna be unhygienic!
I take a look at Kenny on the other side of the room and I see anger. Why should he be angry? Just after Paul and I hugged? Maybe he's angry for losing. Yeah, that's probably right.
Some one taps me on the shoulder. AGAIN. Sheesh. Is my shoulder 'tapping heaven' or something?
I spin around to see Zoey with a sad smile. I frown and look at the screen and see that Zoey has lost, too. No! I should've watched her! But Paul…
"Don't worry." I say with an almost questioning tone.
Kenny runs over to us and pats on Zoey's back. Zoey looks at me.
"Kill them." She says in a deadly tone.
I nod and I look at the screen and I know that I will. I walk to the stage with a determined heart.
o.0.o
I can't believe it! I've won all my battles and now I'm in the finals! Yay me!
I walk to Kenny and Zoey with a gleam.
"Don't be too happy, you could get humiliated and lose in the final." Zoey warns.
"Gee, Zoey. Thanks for making me feel much better." I say, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
Some one taps me on the shoulder. GAAAHHHHHH!
"I guess you're the puny trainer I have to out dazzle." Jessalinda sneers.
Wait. I'm going against her? I look at her outfit and I only just compose myself before I almost laugh at her. Zoey looks disgusted with her outfit and Kenny just looks plain scared. I look at her dress again and give a puzzled look. Why must she embarrass herself like this? Actually, I don't think she cares. Either that or she's blind.
She is wearing an orange dress with big yellow poofy sleeves. She has ugly brown boots on and her laces are UN done! She has these horrible glasses that are orange and yellow. To complete her atrocious look, she has pigtails. Pigtails. I mean, when I wear them: they're the best things on earth but when she wears them. Well…they look like she has ingrown ears. Like an animal.
"Don't bet on winning." I say.
She sticks her nose in the air and storms off.
"Okay, what's her problem?" Kenny asks.
"Maybe she knows that my dress is better than hers." I say.
"Are you sure?" Zoey asks with a teasing smile.
"Hey!" I say laughing and swat her on the arm.
"Can Dawn and Jessalinda please make their way to the stage, Thank you." Says the speaker on the wall.
"Wish me luck." I say nervously.
Kenny and Zoey nod.
I walk over to the stage and I take my place standing at one end of the battlefield.
I look over at Paul and he winks. I beam and get my poke balls ready.
"Let the finals BEGIN!" The presenter commands with her smile.
I get a great idea!
"Piplup and Buneary, you sparkle!" I shout.
My Pokemon come out with a smile.
"Dustox and Seviper, out!" Jessalinda commands.
My idea is quickly used.
"Piplup use Bubble Beam!" I command.
Piplup obeys me and bubbles pop out. The bubbles glisten with the lights blaring on them.
"Buneary, use Ice Beam!" I command with my mind still whirring.
Buneary obeys and she freezes the bubbles.
"You can't just copy your audition!" Jessalinda says with a smirk.
I give her a smile and she frowns at me.
"Piplup and Buneary, pick up the frozen bubbles in your hands [A/N Not sure is they actually have hands!]." I command.
My Pokemon obey. Everyone looks at me with puzzlement.
"Now…CHUCK THEM AT SEVIPER AND DUSTOX!" I scream making everyone jump.
My Pokemon throw the bubbles and they hit Jessalinda's Pokemon! My Pokemon repeat they're action until the opponents…faint.
When I see those swirly eyes, I smile.
"The winner is…DAWN!" The presenter screams and smiles [GAAHHHHHHHHHH!].
I jump up and down and run to my Pokemon and give them a BIG hug! We all start to beam madly.
Professor Elm stands up and gets out THE RED RIBBON out of his pocket. He then makes his way to me.
"Dawn. I always knew you'd accomplish great things. I'm glad that you've just won this." He says and gives me THE RED RIBBON!
I take it and the whole crowd goes wild!
I look at Paul and he smiles. My insides melt.
"I just got the Red Ribbon and it's mine all mine!" I exclaim.
Chapter 10…finished! I'm so glad that Dawn got her ribbon! She totally deserved it!
It looks like Kenny is jealous of Dawn and Paul. Interesting.
I can't believe Paul went to hug Dawn! He's totally in love.
Please: Review, review and review!
