May: Why?
Me: Cuz I spent time with my boyfriend….
Drew: You have a boyfriend?
Me: YES!
Drew: oh….
May: Rolyn has no ownership over pokemon.
If you got it Flaunt it
A soft buzzing noise filled the pokemon center room that Drew and May had rented and conveniently for Drew the source of the noise was right next to his pillow, on the night stand next to his bed. He groaned before swatting the alarm clock and shutting off the alarm. He sat p in bed letting the covers fall off his body and his moving must have woken May up due to the fact she was sitting up in bed as well.
"Morning!" May said cheerfully as she stretched one arm while the other hand was occupied with rubbing one of her eyes. A small smile was plastered on her face as well making Drew smile unconsciously as well.
"Good morning. You ready for today?" He asked swinging his legs over the side of his bed before completely getting out of it and doing a full on stretch.
"Born ready! Today is the day I win my second ribbon." May said happily as she carefully got out of bed and tried to remain balanced on her casted ankle.
"Who said you were going to win? Everybody knows that ribbon is as good as mine." Drew retorted smirking while flicking his hair. May stared at him blankly before mimicking him under her breath as she search for clothes to wear to the contest.
She finally decided on a jeans skirt that went to her knees, a white low cut v-neck shirt that had a hood and a green tank top underneath. Her green and blue chopsticks remained the same in her hair like the day Casey had fixed them. Drew was wearing a simple green t-shirt with a black zip up hoody over it left open and dark washed out jeans.
Keychimp jumped onto May's shoulder and chimed its name happily as the pair prepared to leave and something finally occurred to Drew.
"Where will Keychimp be when you're on stage?" He asked. May was just reaching for her crutches and stopped when she was faced with the question.
"Hmm…he hates pokeballs so I guess I'll watch him when I'm not on stage…but can you do me a favor and watch him when I am?" May asked sweetly flashing a cute smile in his direction. Drew felt himself blush but coughed it off.
"Uh sure." He said quickly before rushing out the door with Roselia following him. May grinned before getting on her crutches and following. The two of them made a quick stop at the desk to ask if Chansey could keep an eye on May's egg before actually heading to the contest.
"Hey there people of Sikio and welcome to the Sikio city contest!" Julian said enthusiastically into her microphone as she waved out into the crowd. The people in the open arena all cheered in response to her greeting, all charged up for the day's events. "Julian here, ready to watch who's got it and ready to flaunt it! Now let's meet our judges!"
As Julian introduced the regular panel of judges May stood back stage with Drew watching the opening of the contest begin. She looked around not seeing much people but there still was a sufficient amount of competition.
"Getting nervous?" Drew taunted smirking.
"No way!" May retorted putting on a determined smile. Drew shrugged as he took a seat on a nearby bench. May followed his example.
"I wonder where Nelly and Rolyn are?" Drew questioned quietly. May shrugged and Keychimp copied its trainer's actions.
"Looking for us?"
The two looked in the direction of the voice to find Rolyn and Nelly. Both of the girls, like May and Drew were not wearing their everyday street clothes. Rolyn was wearing some dark skinny jeans, a green lace tank top with a gray sweatshirt that had a large opening at the top so that it fell off her shoulder and lay slanted. Her hair was also out. Nelly was wearing a black jeans mini skirt with a red belt, a black short sleeved shirt with a red pokeball in the center, red leggings and her braids were in a side ponytail.
"Wow, you two look great!" May complimented smiling.
"Thanks. You look good too. Rolyn made it a rule to look our best for a contest. She says it boosts the confidence level." Nelly said; the last part coming out as a soft laugh.
"It does! If you look good then you'll feel good and if you feel good you'll do good and if you do good your confidence will rise!" Rolyn said counting each 'good' on her fingers.
"Well then I'm set cuz I always look good." Drew said flicking his hair.
"Drew, you are so modest." Rolyn said sarcastically earning a glare from the green haired teen.
"Hey, where's Cizzi?" May asked looking around for the brown haired girl.
"She's in the crowd cheering us all on." Nelly explained jerking a thumb towards the entrance to the main arena from the back room.
"Nice job Marigold! What and amazing appeal with your Taillow! Now let's welcome our next contestant, Nelly McFladden!" Julian said. Nelly perked up at the call of her name and grinned.
"Wish me luck." She said before dashing from back stage and out into the main arena. Since she is from Champix she is well known and had a lot of fans rooting for her. She waved into the crowd and gave one or two peace signs before she positioned herself for her appeal.
She reached onto her red belt and took out a pokeball with an intimidating smile on her face. The calls of her name added to her confidence as well.
"Alright, Umbreon, time for justice!" She called out throwing her pokeball so that it spun rapidly before bursting open and releasing the dark evolution of Eevee. Umbreon posed elegantly and the crowd was easily amazed by its graceful nature. This Umbreon was the exact opposite of Drew's.
"What a healthy and beautifully raised Umbreon! Let's see what Nelly and that bad boy have in store for us!" Julian said admiring the dark pokemon.
"Okay Umbreon use crimson wave (made it up)!" Nelly instructed. Umbreon closed its red eyes temporarily and snapped them back open to show that they were glowing faintly. A red sort of space wave filled the arena. Ooh's and Ah's could be heard as Umbreon skillfully performed the attack.
"Now, use night wave!" Umbreon's body glowed a faint black color before black waves began to mix with the red ones. "Now add in a shadow wave."
The finally wave attack was launched mixing in a blue hue colored wave.
"Mix it all together then use shadow ball." Nelly finally concluded pointing to the waves. Umbreon focused and its yellow rings glowed a bright yellow as it used psychic to swirl the waves together. The end w result was an outer spacey looking swirl that resembled a spiral galaxy.
"Whoa! This appeal is out of this world!" Julian laughed.
Umbreon stepped back before opening its mouth and letting a dark ball of energy form. Once the shadow ball was completely filled with energy it was launched at the center of the mixture
making the duplicate spiral galaxy explode into small fore works that fell to the ground at Nelly's feet. Nelly raised her arms and he and Umbreon took their bows.
The crowds cheered like crazy as she blew one kiss and over the yells you could hear Cizzi screaming Nelly's name over and over.
"Amazingly done! Let's see what our judges have to say." Julian said looking over towards the panel of judges.
"That was one of the best appeals I've seen in the contests so far. I enjoyed it a lot. I'll give you a 9." Mr. Contesta said smiling.
"Remarkable and beyond! I loved it! I give you a 10." Mr. Sukizo said.
"Umbreon looks wonderfully raised and has amazing skill. I'll give you a 9." Sikio cities very own Nurse Joy said with her sweet smile.
"That gives Nelly a total of 28 points! What a hit!" Julian said as Nelly returned Umbreon to its pokeball and walked off stage. "Now we have the talented May Maple!"
May sighed before removing Keychimp from her shoulder and setting him on Drew's lap. She picked up her crutches and smiled at the small sound pokemon.
"Behave while I'm out there okay?" She asked. Keychimp nodded and clinged to Drew who rolled his eyes.
"Good luck May!" Rolyn said with a grin. May smiled in gratitude.
"Don't mess up." Drew added. May's smile fell and she glared at him. Nelly was just coming in when May was about to leave.
"Hope you do good May." She wished giving the brunette a thumbs up. May nodded and crutched her way into the arena. Cizzi was the first to yell out her name and then others joined in, cheering her on.
"Okay! Espeon, take the stage!" May said tossing out a pokeball. A white light followed by sparkles formed into the dog-like creature known as Espeon and the purple pokemon posed just like Umbreon did with a pleased look on its face.
"Oh, looks like we have another Eevee evolution! I wonder how the outcome of this appeal will be." Julian said.
"Now Espeon, use swift then switch into psy-beam." May ordered. The psychic pokemon unleashed a wave of multiple golden stars before switching off into a multicolored beam. The two mixed together quickly. "Now quick use psychic!" May ordered.
Espeon's red gem glowed a bit before the swift and psy-beam were arranged in a pattern so that it each attack was in its own ring and each ring was on top of the other. The rings were fixed so that they made an orb shape and in the center of the orb May float cross legged and waving a peace sign out into the crowd.
"How unique! Getting the pokemon to use and attack on you is pure genius!" Julian praised.
"Okay Espeon now disperse." May instructed. Espeon's red gem glowed even brighter as the rings of the two attacks spread out before finally coming together and completely disappearing in a small explosion that emitted faint sparkles in the shapes of stars, no doubt from the swift.
Espeon gently let its trainer down and used psychic to pick up the abandoned crutches. May tucked them back under her arm and bowed her head as did Espeon. The crowd erupted into applause and cheering for the wonderful appeal.
"Okay, now to the judges." Julian said pointing over to the judges.
"I loved the originality and the risk being taken considering your condition," Mr. Contesta said referring to May's fractured ankle. "That just represents the trust between a trainer and her pokemon. I give you a 9."
"Not as dazzling as the appeal before but remarkable to say the least. I give you an 8." Mr. Sukizo said.
"Espeon is such an astounding pokemon and the entrance it made had me in awe. It looks well trained and well loved. I give you a 10." Nurse Joy said admiring Espeon.
"And that gives May a resounding 27!" Julian said. May bowed her head again and smiled at the crowd before exiting the stage.
May went back stage to be glommed by Keychimp who grinned up at her.
"You did great May!" Rolyn congratulated.
"One point behind me, you're really cutting it close." Nelly said placing her hands on her hips. May nodded with a determined smile.
"Nice job." Drew said holding out a blood red rose. May looked at it then looked at him blushing lightly. Rolyn and Nelly looked at the flower before glancing at each other with knowing smirks.
"Uh….I sorta can't let go of my crutches…" May muttered avoiding eye contact. Drew rolled his eyes before sticking the flower behind her ear just like he did at her first contest here.
"There, now you don't have to worry about it." Drew said flicking his hair. Despite his still arrogant attitude, he could not fight off the blush forming on his own cheeks.
"Thanks Drew." May giggled smiling.
"Well why don't we get our next contestant out here! Rolyn Josephine you are up!" Julian said. Rolyn jumped at the call of her name and smiled sheepishly.
"Show time!" She said rubbing her hands together.
"Good luck!" May said.
"You'll do great for sure." Nelly reassured.
"You better do good, cuz we still haven't finished our battle." Drew said with a smirk. Rolyn nodded.
"Don't expect to do anything below good!" She said running from the back room and to the arena. The sun was now higher in the sky and the crowd was ready to be awed. Rolyn smiled brightly as she waved at the crowd.
"Alrighty! Snover, it's time to bring down the house!"
Yay I cliffy just because I love you
May: AW!
Drew: She's kidding.
May: Oh. I knew that.
Drew: Of course you did.
Me: Well Peace homiez.
Drew: Pweez Review.
