OK! IM SOOOO SORRY THAT THIS TOOK SO LONG! To be honest I have had this chapter done for over a month, everything except KELLYS STUPID APPEAL! I was so brain blocked that I let my assistant writer Yara think of it and she was procrastinating. BLAME HER!
Well im gonna stop talking and give you this chapter!
-XxStarzxX-
"So how do I look?" Dawn winked as she posed in her brand new white and pink spotted bikini.
Paul, who the question was directed at, turned away as his faced blushed to a faint pink, "Fine I guess….."
Dawn squealed as she jumped onto the purple haired boys back, "Really? Im so glad I picked the right one!"
Pauls face went solid red from the close contact caused by him being shirtless with only his swim trunks on, and the only girl he'd ever even considered liking in a bikini on his back.
Dawn giggled as she hoped of his back and pulled on his arm till they were back by all of the others.
Drew was sleeping in one of the beach chairs they had brought, comfortably shaded by one of the umbrellas, Kat, May and Misty had grabbed their surfboards the second they got here and sprinted to the water, Ash, Max, and Brock were at one of the many concession stands getting who-knows-what, Lalita, Soledad and Sonny were playing volleyball and Kelly was covered in sand after trying to train her Grumpig to use Dig.
Dawn pulled Paul over to the volleyball court, "C'mon Paul lets go play!"
He sighed as he allowed the pink loving bluenette to drag him around, 'I guess this could be worse…'
Drew slept peacefully in the shade until a few drops of water broke him out of his dreaming trance. He shook his eyes awake to see May above him with a laughing grin on her face.
"What do you want?" Drew frowned at the interruption.
May snickered, "Roserade's been busy"
His confused look disappeared as he gazed to his lower half, which just happened to be covered in sand up to his mid-stomach, "Roserade!"
Roserade laughed as she ran off with Flygon and Glaceon.
May giggled as she walked back toward the water, following the calls of Misty to 'get back out here!'.
Drew brushed the sand off him and unconsciously shifted his gaze to the brunette that had just walked away from him.
May had been his absolute best friend since they met that day in Slateport City, but lately he didn't see her as his best friend anymore. It confused him because in his mind there was no way he could possibly have a crush on May Maple.
'No matter how smart, or funny, or talented, or cute, or amazing, or incredible, I will never fall in love with her. Wait…did I just say 'cute'? no of course I didn't….because I don't think that way!' Drew battled himself in his mind as he gazed at the waves where Misty and May were surfing with Blastoise and Vaporeon.
"Geez Drew wipe the drool off your mouth"
Drew jumped up and turned his gaze to the brunette next to him, "God Kat…You scared me"
Kat smirked, "Why don't you tell her?"
Drew frowned, "What do you mean?"
She laughed, "Why don't you tell May you like her?"
He blushed, "I don't like her like that!"
Kat giggled as she walked away back toward the water, "Denials not just a river in Sinnoh Drew!"
"Kanto!"
Kat laughed as she grabbed her board and swam back out.
Drew shook away his thoughts and walked over by Ash, Max and Brock, 'Lets get a different thought in my head before I explode.'
Misty nodded her head to May who had been trying to learn a certain trick on her surf board for about an hour. She was improving but, of course, at May's pace.
Kat smiled, "Why don't we head in and get some food? Im starved"
May nodded and jumped onto Blastoise's back, "Same here! I could go for some sleep too!"
Misty frowned, "do you hear that?"
May looked down to the water, "the buzzing? Yeah it sounds like its coming from underwater…"
Kat dipped her face underwater and slowly opened her eyes, but never in her life would she have guess what was in store for her….
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH", 3 screams broke the silence and serenity of the ocean.
Ash, Brock, Drew and Max sprinted from their spots to where the screams came from, but stopped in their tracks at what was before them.
A huge robot stood out of the waters with a dozen or so tentacles leaving from its upper half, the lower half marked with a giant 'G'.
What shook their core what not the robot but the fact that in 3 of the 12 tentacles were Kat, May, and Misty each being held in what looked like glass spheres.
"ASH! GET US OUT OF HERE!" Misty screamed
"Gallade smash the glass!" Max screamed throwing a red pokeball in the air.
The tall pokemon leaped into the air and tacked Misty's capsule with glowing fists only to be thrown back in failure.
"Gallade!" Max ran to his fallen pokemon but was stopped by one of the other glass capsules.
May screamed from inside her prison, "MAX!"
Max yelled for help as he was quickly lifted into the air up to where his sister and the others were.
"Whats going on?"
Ash looked to the side to see Kelly, Dawn, Paul, Soledad, Lalita, and Sonny sprinting out, each having a pokemon ready to battle.
Inside the machine 4 men sat, discussing the progress of their invention.
"Master Cyrus, 3 of the 9 targets have been acquired"
Cyrus growled, "Then why do we have 4 targets?"
The grunt jumped as he hesitated, "The red head is not one of our targets….sir…"
Cyrus stood up, "Then drop her!"
Another grunt quickly got up and clicked keys until the glass capsule that held Misty opened with a hiss.
Misty screamed as she fall from the orb almost 50 ft in the air.
"Misty!" Ash threw out a pokeball, and with a second to spare Charizard grabbed her arm stopping her from smacking the water.
Charizard flew Misty back to Ash and immediately flew back into the air to attack the wires holding the prisons with repetitive steel wings.
Everyone ran to Misty, who to Ash's pleasure, was holding tight to his arm in fear of being taken again.
Kelly panicked, "Are you okay?"
Misty nodded but her grip on Ash never loosened.
A scream interrupted their conversation. They all turned to see the 4th capsule, the one that held Misty, reach out and grab the now terrified bluenette.
"DAWN!"
Inside the robot Cyrus was grinning, "4 targets is enough for today, pull out and well go again tomorrow.
The grunts all nodded, "Yes sir!"
The robot stood to its feet and slowly started to shift into a U.F.O. shaped plane, with each tentacle retracting into the sides of the ship.
"lets get going" Cyrus frowned
"Hydreigon! Use Hyper voice and smash those cells before they lock!"
A large 3 headed dragon flew in front of the group and released an incredibly loud scream that started to shatter the prisons.
Ash thought quick and ran to the girl's bags. He grabbed three pokeballs and released them. Two Dragonites and a Togekiss flew out to the water to catch their partners before they were caught in the machine.
May and Kat held on tight to their Dragonite's necks, but Dawn who had fainted from fear was simply lying on her Togekiss's back.
May screamed over the hyper voice, "WHERES MAX?"
Ash's gaze went to the machine that was flying away, and sure enough in one of the capsules Max sat unconscious.
Lalita started to cry, "MAX!"
A tall girl quickly ran in front of her and pushed her back to her friends, "GET DOWN!"
The falling debris that came from the machine was crushing everything in sight, trees, shops and maybe even some unlucky tourists.
Drew covered his eyes to look at the 3 flying types headed their way, "HURRY UP GUYS!"
Kat panicked as her and her Dragonite attempted to dodge all the debris that came their way. The second her feet hit the ground she rushed to the bags threw them over her shoulder and tossed up a pokeball.
"ABRA! GET US OUT OF HERE!"
A large flash of light sucked up the trainers and their fellow pokemon.
"She's fine now, Paul's watching her."
Kelly sat down after checking over everyone's injuries. Since Dawn has fainted she was put into her bedroom to rest, with Paul looking over her just incase she had went into a panic attack or had a nightmare.
May, who was shaken and upset over her brothers capture and her attempted kidnapping was taking refuge in Drew's arms, bundled in blankets and warm clothes.
Kat was less upset about the kidnapping, and was busy pacing the floor thinking of possible reasons the robot would have wanted them until it hit her.
"Guys! On the side of the robot, there was a letter! I think it was a 'G' right?"
Misty, who was currently in Ash's arms, nodded slowly, "Doesn't that stand for Team Galactic?"
Brock nodded, "But why would they want you guys?"
"I know why"
Everyone turned to the girl who had saved them all with the help of her Hydreigon. They hadn't gotten a good look at her with all of the trauma, but now they took in who she was.
The girl had long navy blue hair that was tied into a bow in the back of her head with the falling remains braided with care, Her aqua blue eyes were smiling with joy as they scanned the group of friends. She wore a pink tank top that split at her stomach into two separate capes the fell gracefully to her thighs, bright blue jeans and black sandals that were embedded with pink crystals.
Ash frowned, "Thanks for the help, but who are you?"
The girl sweat dropped, "I know its been a while but I cant believe you forgot me Ash…"
May stared at the girl until her eyes widened at the sight of her necklace. Around the girls neck was a silver chain that held a shining blue crystal that was surrounded with a spiraling piece of silver,
'That necklace….' May lowered her gaze to the necklace she wore, which was in fact a blue crystal surrounded with a spiraling piece of silver hanging from a silver chain.
'that could only mean…..' May stood up catching the attention of everyone on the room.
Her eyes watered as she ran to hug the girl, "LIZABETH!"
Lizabeth smiled brightly as she hugged May in return, "MAY!"
Ash and Brock both were standing at this point, "Lizabeth?"
Lizabeth glared at them, "so now you remember me?"
Brock grabbed her hand and gave it a gentle kiss, "I could never truly forget you Lizabeth…"
Lizabeth blushed as she hugged him, "good to see you too Brock"
Soledad growled to herself in jealousy of the two.
Drew frowned, "So how do you guys know each other?"
May smiled as she stood next to Lizabeth, both of them lifting up their necklaces,
"Lizabeth is a really good friend of mine that basically changed my life forever!"
Lizabeth nodded, "I'm glad to see you haven't lost that necklace!"
May shook her head, "How could I?"
They laughed until Lalita broke the happiness,
"So what happened to Max!"
Everyone looked to Lizabeth in realization of the situation.
Her face went cold, "Team Galactic is after a certain group of trainers called 'Legendary Partners'. You become a member of Legendary Partners when you have been chosen by a legendary to become one with it and share souls."
Lalita shook her head in anger, "But why would they want Max?"
May frowned, "He never told you?"
Lalita frowned, "About What?"
May sighed, "A few years ago we were at a carnival and well…..long story short he befriended Jirachi."
Everyone's jaws dropped at his news.
Lizabeth nodded, "Their plan is to control the trainers which will, because of the connection of souls, will control the legendaries as well."
"So Dawn, Kat, Max and May all have a legendary partner?" Kelly gasped
May nodded, "Then that means…"
Brock frowned, "wouldn't Ash and I be considered one too then?"
Lizabeth nodded, "Yeah, so I would keep your guard up"
Kat nodded, "I can't believe this is happening…"
Kelly grinned, "Well! Lets get to bed, We have the second round in the morning!"
Lalita frowned, "Have you all forgotten about Max?"
May put a hand on her shoulder, "Im worried as much as you are…..but for now we have to recoup and plan. If they're after us then they'll be back and when that happens we'll save him.
Everyone nodded and headed to their rooms, with Lizabeth going along with May.
Paul sighed as he slowly stood from his chair by Dawns bed. He had heard the others going to bed and he planned to do the same.
"Paul?"
He turned around to see Dawn slowly opening her eyes, curiosity buried deep below them
Paul walked over to her and sat down, "You should get some rest, its been busy today."
Dawn nodded, "Hey Paul can I tell you something?"
He nodded and leaned in closer so she didn't have to get up.
She blushed, "Thank you.."
Her hand found his cheek as she stretched up to place a small and gentle kiss on his cheek.
Her eyes started to close as sleep overcame her, "for….everything…."
Paul went bright red as he slowly stood, "Thank you too Dawn…for…not giving up on me…"
He pushed the hair out of her eyes, and went into his own room across the hall.
"Welcome back to the Unova Grand Festival Round 2! The Double Appeals that we see today were practiced and perfected by our wonderful coordinators that passed the first round" Meredith yelled as she danced around the stages.
"Now our returning contestant, Brianna," Meredith cheered through the ran out in her earlier dress and tossed out what she though to be her two best pokemon, Volbeat and Illumise, who appeared in an array of petals.
Illumise decided she would go first when they reached the middle of the arena. She released a Sweet Scent causing hundreds of rose petals to fall, meanwhile Volbeat used Tail Glow to make a mystifying look to the scene as the small orb of light resonated against the petals and sparkles.
Volbeat then flew up using Double Team while Illumise used hidden power to have the dazzling attack encircle him and expand.
Suddenly Volbeat stopped moving and let the hidden power entrap him in a sphere. People were worried until he broke out of his encasement with Zen soared upward to go by Volbeat's side. Both bowed with a giant feeling of pride. Then gracefully flew back to the side of their master again, the crowd roared with glee, excitement, and awe as she stood felling invincible, Thinking once again that Drew had to be hers.
"That was so romantic! I love those two Pokemon!" Meredith squeeled, "Now lets see what our judges thought?"
Nurse Joy nodded, "Very Lovely, and so beautiful! I give you an 8!"
Mr Sukizo grinned, "Remarkable! You get a 9 from me"
Meredith danced around, "And that's a 17 out of 20 for little Rookie Coordinator Brianna! A great way to start us off tonight!"
A large variety of coordinators followed her in beautiful double appeals, but none of them were important to Ash and friends as they sat patiently in the stands.
At last Meredith jumped up and called a familiar name, "Now Ladies and Gentleman, winner of our first round, May Maple!"
May gracefully walked onstage in her dress from the day before until she reached center stage.
She quickly tossed two pokeballs into the air, "Venusaur! Beautifly! Stage On!"
The ground shook as Venusaur fell to the stage surrounded in falling leaves, Beautifly gracefully landing on Venusaur's flower covered back.
"Venusaur, Petal Dance and Sweet Scent! Beautifly use Silver Wind!"
Venusaur released a large amount of petals which swirled around her just as the delightfully scented sparkles blended into the petals. Beautifly then began to fly along with the petals releasing her own array of sparkles and glittery dust which shone with the reflection from the lights.
"Frenzy Plant and Morning Sun!"
Venusaur stomped on the ground and in seconds large plants appeared from the ground and covered the ground in a forest like way. Meanwhile Beautifly flew to the middle of the whirlwind and shone brightly, resonating off of the sparkles, glitter and flowers.
"Now use Solar Beam!"
Venusaur leaned down as she gathered the suns energy, then released it toward Beautifly who was currently above her.
All of the sparkles and glitter sucked up into the energy beam causing it to glow rainbow as it approached Beautifly at a high speed.
"Energy Ball!"
Beautifly launched a sparkling green ball into the very center of the solar beam, causing it to explode and fall gracefully onto all of the spiked plants below it.
Beautifly softly landed back onto Venusaurs back as flowers began to bloom everywhere, covering all of the spikes and finding new homes in the frenzied roots.
May and her pokemon happily took a bow as the crowd erupted into cheers, claps and screams.
Meredith was Awed, "INCREDIBLE! SIMPLY WONDERFUL!"
Nurse Joy was out of her seat clapping, "So Beautiful! You really showed off your pokemon wild habitats in that display of nature! 10!"
Mr. Contesta nodded, "Indeed she did. It was a beautifully arranged appeal. 9.5"
Meredith jumped up, "AND THAT GIVE OUR PRO HERE MAY A 19.5 OUT OF 20! THE HIGHEST SCORE ALL DAY!"
May and her pokemon smiled brightly as they bowed and left the stage.
"Up next is our first round runner up, Miss Kaitlyn Adams!"
Kat was ecstatic as she ran out in her first round dress, "Quilava! Buizel! Lets Go!"
Quilava and Buizel were smiling brightly as they popped out of their array of blue stars.
"Quilava Swift! Buizel Spin and use Aqua Tail!"
Quilava sat down center stage as stars began to surround her. Meanwhile, Buizel had begun to spin on its back while releasing a powerful spinning aqua tail which was making a giant fountain.
"Buizel use sonic boom to jump up then Ice beam!"
Buizel quickly jumped high in the air and launched a powerful blue light which froze all of the water in place, creating a giant sculpture that also had stars shining from the centers.
"Quilava, Agility to the top!"
Quilava stopped her stars and jumped up onto the ice, running all the way to the tip where she stood with perfect balance.
"Quilava use Flame Wheel! Buizel use Aqua Jet!"
Quilava jumped down one of the many ice trails and began to polish the ice, being followed by Buizel who was cooling everything down.
"Finish up!"
Quilava and Buizel both jumped away from where the audience could see them and into the sculpture where their faces reflected largely off the shimmering ice.
Kaitlyn smiled as she took her bow for the applaud.
"Remarkable! 9" Mr Sukizo was clapping
"Simply Splendid! 10!" Nurse Joy was definitely impressed
Meredith smiled, "That leaves miss Kat with a 19 out of 20! The closest anyone has come to May's score all day!"
Kat bowed again before elegantly exiting with her two pokemon.
"Ok! Lets bring out our next coordinator, Kelly!"
Kelly walked onto the stage and looked at the people sitting there patiently, quietly waiting to see which pokemon she would use.
A smirk formed on her face and she called out, "Rock 'em! Sock 'em! Lunatone, Solrock!" She called out as she threw her pokeballs into the air which Lunatone and Solrock emerged from.
"Lunatone, use Shadowball! Solrock use will-o-wisp!" yelled Kelly.
The two pokemon immediately followed command. They shot at each other, and the two attacks hit each other right in the middle it exploded. It looked like an ancient sun. Instead of shining yellow rays it had magnificent purple ones, and the color of the giant fire ball that was created was lovely royal blue instead of golden yellow.
As it disappeared the crowd just stared in awe and a large gasp that filled the crowd. They were truly amazed.
"Lunatone, magic room. Then, Solrock, ancient power. Lunatone, Cosmic power."
Lunatone created a giant pink box around themselves, and, as instructed, Solrock and Lunatone used their powers to make the entirety of the box glow a pink and sea
foam green color.
"and finally, both of you use Explosion."
And so they ended their appeal with large bang. They made a grand explosion.
"Great now return!"
Mr. Sukizo smiled, "Remarkable! 7!"
Nurse Joy nodded, "Very risky, but beautiful in the end!" 8!"
Meredith grinned, "That gives miss Kelly Perk a score of 15! Congratulations!"
Kelly nodded and took her leave toward the back doors.
Kelly sighed as she sat down on one of the benches. There was no way that her 15 would get her into the next round, but that was something that she had to deal with.
She was startled as a hand fell on her shoulder,
"Don't be upset Kelly…" May smiled.
Kelly smiled, "Well this just gives me more time to work on my Poke-block shop"
May smiled as she hugged her friend, scare of just what may come in the future…
HEYY GUYYSS! DID'JA MISS MEH?
