Kay, I just finished my homework so I can do this now!

May: New chapter.

Me: Correct my dear friend.

Drew: Why are you talking like that all of a sudden?

Me: Why is your hair green?

May: Rolyn does not own pokemon.

Nothing Personal

Rolyn's pokeball split apart and the white light that it emitted formed into the small Snover. It smiled…or its eyes looked happy as it twirled in a circle a small bit of sparkling snow flurries falling to the ground around it.

"Snover!" It cried happily putting up its green hands for emphasis.

"Oh what a cutie! Let's see if it has more to it than looks." Julian cooed gazing at the small grass/ice pokemon with adoring eyes.

"Okay Snove, use ice shard!" Rolyn commanded pointing at the ground. Snover complied and brought up its hands. In doing so a bung of giant ice shards were born out of the arena floor. They sparkled like diamonds in the bright sun light coming from the open arena.

"Good now use wood hammer!" Rolyn instructed pointing at the ground again. Snover grinned as its hands glowed a white color before turning into the shape of wood looking hammers. Snover struck the ground and a small rumble vibrated in the ground and in a split second the ice shards shattered to pieces.

"Now quick, use powder snow!" Snover opened its mouth wide before blowing out. A frosty and materialized gust picked up the small shattered shards of ice twirling them in a tornado in the air. The flurries in the powder snow and the shards sparkled as the tornado picked up speed.

"Whoa…that's so cool!" May complimented as she stared at the screen in amazement. Nelly and Drew nodded in agreement.

"Rolyn is such an idiot." Nelly said jokingly. This time Drew was the only one to nod in agreement.

"I wonder what she has planned…" Drew trailed off.

"By the way things are going, probably something completely irrational and amazing." Nelly said rolling her eyes.

"Okay Snove, now jump in the middle of that icy tornado." Rolyn ordered. Julian gasped.

"That order seems to be half thought through in my opinion. What will the outcome of this risky move be?" She asked out of pure curiosity and anxiety.

Snover jumped straight into the rapid spinning tornado and disappeared from sight completely. Some people gasped as the small pokemon did so. Others had worried looks on their faces believing that Rolyn probably just ruined her entire appeal and put her small pokemon in danger. Despite all that Rolyn smirked and snapped her fingers.

Right then a bright solar beam came busting out the top of the tornado. The ice sparkled almost blindingly with beauty. Some people even had to shield their eyes but didn't want to miss a bit of the glimmering ice and snow. The tornado dispersed until it completely vanished leaving a few sparkling flurries to fall right above Rolyn and her Snover who were in identical poses. A faint rainbow was arched over their heads.

The audience got to their loudest in non-understandable praise of the appeal. Rolyn bowed with Snover before returning it to its pokeball. The crowd was still going crazy as she made her way over to Julian to receive her score.

"Words cannot comprehend how amazing that was." Julian said. "I love when trainers take risky moves like that and succeed in flying colors. Now let's see if our panel of judges were just as moved as I was."

"Outstanding teamwork and trust just like May Maple and her Espeon. I adored it completely; it had me on the edge of my seat while keeping me astounded by the outcome. I give you a 10!" Mr. Contesta said.

"I agree completely. It was remarkable and beyond! There is now way anybody will top that. I give you a t10 as well." Mr. Sukizo said.

"I have to say I loved the teamwork and strength of the small little Snover but such risky thinking did not fare well for me. Over all you did great together, I'll give you a 10." Nurse Joy said.

Rolyn smiled and bowed to the judges.

"Wow, the highest score yet! And a perfect one at that! I wonder how our next contestant will be able to compete." Julian said as Rolyn walked off stage. "Well why don't we get our next appeal going, give it up for three time champion, Drew Hayden!"

Girl's screams were what you heard throughout the entire arena. Drew rolled his eyes as he entered the main stage, but soon enough he smiled faintly making some girls faint. Curse Drew and his Fan girls. He took centered stage and enlarged a pokeball.

"Okay Gallade, let's go." He said tossing his pokeball. The tall psychic pokemon came out and immediately got into a fighting stance. Drew shook his head slightly and it got into a regular pose. Gallade just loved a good battle.

"Gallade use night slash then go into psychic." Gallade nodded and complied to his trainer's orders by proceeding with speed and precision. The dark night slash and colorful psychic came together but due to lack of time Drew had to act quickly if he wanted the correct outcome of his appeal.

"Good now enclose it with protect." Drew ordered pointing at the two offensive attacks that had come together.

"Gallade!" The pokemon called out before its eyes and hands glowed a faint green color. Soon the green glow had created a dome like shield around the night slash and the psychic which remained together.

"Calm mind than ice punch." Drew stated simply flicking his hair. A bunch of high pitched shrieks could be heard from the audience as he did so.

Gallade closed its eyes and let its hands rest at its side. It stood there for a few moments until a purple aura formed around its body. The pokemon's eyes snapped open to show that it was glowing and eerie blue color. Gallade made a high leap into the air drawing back a fist that was coating over with ice. It came crashing down and held out the icy fist that crashed right into the dome. Darkness spread out but soon it was cut through by a colorful aurora that seemed to come from outer space itself but was really just an effect from the colorful psychic.

Soon that darkness and aurora faded to show that Gallade had cut through the whole thing landing the ice punch on the ground but what caused the people to cheer as loud as they did was the picture that the ice that seemed to be growing on the ground made. It was in the beautiful design of a rose, just like Drew intended. The ice glimmered in the sunlight giving the same effect as Snover's Ice shards.

"Another amazing appeal and the aurora and rose; both were pure genius!" Julian said clapping. Drew bowed as did his Gallade. After bowing two times and nearly being deafened by crazy fan girl screams, Drew returned his Gallade and went to receive his score.

"Wonderful use of the ice and sun, just like Rolyn. However the picture of a rose made completely out of ice was something I could only expect from a coordinator with such talent and skills. I give you a 10." Mr. Contesta said.

"Remarkable! The outer spacey feel was simply hypnotizing and that night slash had to have been strong to darken an open arena. I give you a 10!"

"Well that Gallade, I must say, is the strongest and most well trained that I have witnessed in a long while. The originality and intelligence that it used also to make a picture entirely out of focus and ice was amazing as well. 10 for me too." Nurse Joy said with a smile.

"Wow! Another perfect score. Drew certainly lived up to expectations! Now let's move onto our next round! Battle time!"

"Man Rolyn he's as good as you." Nelly said as she glanced at her friend after they had just witness Drew's appeal. Rolyn simply nodded in understanding.

"When Drew said he had gotten better I never knew that he literally went up a few levels." May muttered in a tone just above a whisper. "He's really steppin up his game."

Right than Drew entered the back stage room with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Nice job Drew. We're tied." Rolyn said being the first to speak up. Drew shrugged.

"Not for long."

"Good job on getting better than me." Nelly muttered rolling her eyes in slight jealousy.

"Yea Drew you and Rolyn both did well to earn perfect scores." May congratulated. "But just because you did get perfect scores doesn't mean you'll win." She added with a confident smile.

"Wow those were some awesome battles. And now that we are down to our final four we can wrap this up." Julian said flipping her hair over her shoulder.

The battles had been good but they have finally gotten down to the last four contestants. It was now between May, Drew, Nelly, and Rolyn. Each battle had been as good as the last but now it was allies against allies.

"Okay so let's see who goes up against who first!" Julian said pointing to the giant screen. The four pictures scrambled a bit until they slowed down and finally settled showing that it was Nelly vs. May and Rolyn vs. Drew.

"Well than, Nelly and May, come on down!" Julian said. Nelly came out on the left end of the arena and May came out on the right.

"Houndoom time for justice!" Nelly called out throwing her pokeball. Houndoom came out with a mean dark look to its face and it glared at May. However the brunette didn't get intimidated or scared because she was ready and determined.

"Blaziken, take the stage!" May said balancing herself enough to toss her pokeball. Blaziken came out with determination in its flames.

"Okay let's get to it!" Julian said. The timer began to count down.

"Houndoom, use shadow ball!" Nelly commanded. Houndoom quickly unleashed the dark orb of energy at Blaziken who quickly jumped over it using its agility. May smiled.

"Nice Blaziken now use fire spin!" May commanded. Nelly smirked.

"You too Houndoom."

Two fire spins were unleashed at the same time clashing together and exploding evenly matched. A little dust was blown up and Nelly had to cover her face with her hands while May just held hers tightly shut. Once the dust settled the battle continued, both of them still having a good amount of tied points.

"Houndoom, use hyper beam!" Nelly ordered. Houndoom began to charge at the tall fighting pokemon and unleashed the attack in mid-stride. Blaziken wasn't given enough time to dodge so it took the attack head on. May's points went down a bit putting Nelly in the lead by a fraction.

"No way am I backing down, Blaziken use sky upper cut!" May ordered. Blaziken went at Houndoom at full speed hitting it under the jaw with its glowing and large talons. Houndoom flew back rolling on the ground until it skidded to a stop.

"Wow, Houndoom really took a hit, so will Nelly's points." Julian said biting a black painted nail. Just as she predicted, Nelly's points lowered much more than May's did putting the brunette in the lead. Nelly narrowed her eyes and watched as the clock changed to 3 minutes.

"Houndoom, come on, let's get them back. Use bite." Nelly said as the injured pokemon hoisted itself up and winced a bit. It shook its head before glaring at Blaziken and going at it. It ran at top speed with its sharp fangs ready to attack.

"Blaziken use ember!" May ordered. Blaziken unleashed dozens of small flames that missed as Houndoom dodged still heading straight for it. Houndoom got close enough to launch itself and latched onto Blaziken's leg making the fire pokemon cry out in pain. May gaped as Houndoom let go and Blaziken fell to its knees. Her points dropped and Nelly claimed the lead again.

"Good now hit em with overheat!" Nelly instructed. Houndoom opened its mouth and a large stream of fire, larger than May had ever seen at least, came pouring out heading to Blaziken at 

close range making it a direct hit. The fire gave off such a bright light that May had to close her eyes only to wait and see what happened to her Blaziken.

The attack faded to show a burned and wincing Blaziken on the ground trying to catch its breath. Houndoom was panting as well from releasing such a huge attack so early on. May's points were now more than three fourths of the way gone while Nelly still had half of hers. They were now down to a minute.

"Wow, if Blaziken wasn't a fire type who knows what could have been the outcome of such a strong attack!" Julian said smiling sheepishly.

"Blaziken, are you okay May asked out of pure concern. Blaziken nodded.

"Blaze…" It sighed smiling at its trainer. May smiled as well and nodded. 'It would be a bad idea to come back with an overheat so we'll just have to hit another way.' May thought as she clutched onto her crutches tighter.

"Blaziken use double kick!" May ordered. Blaziken jumped into the air high enough so that it would come down on Houndoom. Nelly sighed and smiled. She knew that the overheat wasn't the best idea since it would tire Houndoom out.

Blaziken kicked Houndoom once with one foot than kicked it again like a soccer ball with the other sending it flying. Houndoom hit a wall just as the timer buzzed and slid to the ground completely knocked out.

"Times up! Ooh, it looks like Houndoom couldn't take a kick, so May Maple and Blaziken proceed to the final battle." Julian announced. The crowd cheered for the brunette who smiled. Nelly returned Houndoom and walked off stage after bowing humbly to May who nodded back and crutched her way back stage where Drew gave her Keychimp.

"Now let's get the next battle pair out here! C'mon out Rolyn and Drew!"

Rolyn came out on the right and Drew came out on the left. Rolyn's fans were drowned out by Drew's fan girls so it was mostly a bunch of shrieks and squealing.

"Ready for this?" Drew asked pulling out a pokeball. Rolyn smiled and nodded.

"Yea, but this is battle is nothing personal, I hope we can be friends after this." Rolyn said getting out her own pokeball.

"We'll see…"

Oh two more battles to go! Who will win!?

May: Me.



Drew: Me.

Me: Oh that clears up everything.

May: It sure does!

Me: Pweez Review.
