O hai every1! How's it goin'? Sorry for a lack of update, there's midterms which means lost of test to study for (but they're done for, thank god). Plus, and I you guys noticed this, but there's a problem going to edit your stories. That sent me crazy, and I practically almost spammed Support when I made discoveries about it (thought its few).

But then thankx to LeafxGreanx3, she gave me a tip on how to update my story without going on my properties. SO YOU ALL SHOULD GO THANK HER! Liek now.

The cameos are also in here, but its few since most of the Amons don't have Pokemon to coordinate with (if I don't want to spoil the story later on). So enjoy while you can!

Songs that would go great with this chapter would be, Kagamine Rin and Len - Juvenile and Hatsune Miku - Yukkuri Shiteitte Ne!

-LEIMEI'S CHAPTER-

Today was the day.

Not cleaning the dorm day.

Not tickle all the Pokémon you see day.

Not do summersaults day.

Not slap a guy in the face (face it Jace, we all know you're a cheater) day.

And certainly not the day of the apocalypse.

I'm talking about a day so epic it will blow your hats off! (That is, of course, if you're wearing a hat.)

The day that Lance let us go attend a Pokémon contest outside of school and, even better, in another region!

You'd think that he'd be more stressed now that the Eons have been attacked right? Well you're right! I heard from the double Js that they're going as secret spies around the city during the competition (along with some more people). Apparently Lance wants our eyes and ears everywhere and, since everyone wants to go and participate, he used that to his advantage to make us work and research while we're there. Might as well humour the red-headed tyrant, no?

I'm telling you that there's no way that something bad is going to happen on this outing. The dude's really overreacting. Fur shure.

"Etienne and I will be working backstage to help you guys," Sam, teammate and person who really wanted to come along, grinned at me as we watched Alto Mare slowly grow smaller and smaller with every second that we were on the boat, "He'll be making Pokéblocks and poffins, while I go help you guys with outfits and hair and stuff!"

I nodded and turned on the railing, keeping an eye on my Froslass hovering way too close to the passengers, "I think your help will be appreciated."

She tilted her head at me in confusion, "What gives you that idea?"

I pointed at the window of the large cabin, which was slightly open and where Addie, Maikee and Bree were all chilling nearby inside, "Just listen to them freak out."

"Oh man! Ohmanohmanohman!" Addie rushed as she took her little hand bag and surfed through it maniacally, "I forgot my hairbrush! OH NUUUUUUUUU!"

"It's okay, Addie," Bree consoled, patting the girl on the back comfortingly, "You can use mine."

"But I have to find mine!" The girl exclaimed wildly, lifting her head slightly to show extremely freaked forest green eyes, "It's a limited edition!"

"Limited edition?" Maikee repeated in surprise, "How is it any different than any other normal hairbrush?"

Addie looked from side to side to make sure no one was listening (but we were, so ha to the ha) before whispering, "It's also functional as a pen AND as a pencil!"

"Umm, okay?" You could tell by her voice that Bree wasn't sure if this was a good thing, "Where did you last see it?"

"In my bag, WHEN I PACKED IT!"

"No need to freak!" Maikee lifted her hands in a sign of surrender, "Maybe someone mistook it for their own and took it!"

"How can they though?" Addie seethed silently, "IT'S NEON ORANGE WITH BLUE POLKA DOTS AND WHITE RIBBONS!" She huffed and calmed with another deep breath, "I'm pretty sure no one would like a hair brush like that."

"But I would~" Jillian popped out from the air vent (how the heck did she get up there?) above their heads, dangling upside down as she waved the desired item around like a flag, "If you want it back, you have to catch me!" And she pulled herself back into the air vent, and vanished.

"REVENGE!" Addison yelled with fist pump and a glare to the area Jillian used to be, "IT SHALLZ BE MINEZ!"

"Chill Addie," Bree pushed the girl down by her shoulders onto the bed's cabin, "We know you're hyped up for the contest, but please keep from being too hyper."

Addie gasped dramatically, putting a hand to her heart as she looked up to her with an aghast expression, "I can't believe you just said that! No one can be too hyper! It is just not plausible!"

"Believe us," Maikee grinned lightly at Bree when they shared looks, "We know what we're talking about."

"Le gasp! Srsly?" Though she was still excited, Addie calmed down, but then she bounced to her feet in a hurry and went back to hyper (but less so), "Wait a sec! We must attack Jin! She haz hairbrush!"

"We're going to help you," Bree grudgingly agreed with crossed harms, "But only this time!"

"Yay!" Addie bounced to her feet and hugged the girl until she turned blue, only to let go and do that same to Maikee. When all was sane (and no one was going to die by lack of air) the all adorned serious expressions, "Okay, let's make a plan of catching her."

"Otherwise you would've just chased her around like an idiot, right?" Bree raised an eyebrow curious, only to smirk when Addie flushed red in embarrassment.

"N-no! I wouldn't only run after!" Addie scoffed hysterically, eyes looking everywhere but at Bree to show she was lying, "I would... I would er... set traps! Yeah! I'd set traps!"

Bree's smirk turned to conceited grin, "On a boat? Where there's other passenger and they could get hurt?"

Addie glared, "Yes. Yes, I would do that."

Maikee shook her head and grabbed them each around the shoulders so that she could pull them into a circle as she shut them up, "Alright guys, stop it. Let's plan."

"Got it!" The two other girls chirped together.

"See?" I turned to Sam, only to see that she was gone. I sighed and shook my head, a small smile lighting my own lips. Sam was totally going to jump in the cabin to help them, I just know it.

"GUYS!" Said team member of mine appeared through the slammed-open door (currently opened by the one, the only, SAM!) "Let me help! I know great ways to bring her down!"

"What makes you think we'll let you help us?" Addison snapped her fingers seriously as the three girls stopped sharing secrets to give Sam suspicious looks.

"Because I'll make you guys pretty for the contest?" The girl with dark hair falling into her eyes inquired.

"Sweet!" Addison beamed, grabbing the girl and pulling her into their circle of secrets, "You're in!"

With an amused shake of my head, I pushed away from the railing and made my way towards the front of the boat (where the boat experts call it the -, but that's not the point). I spotted Shasha, Hina, Rin, and Nick all tanning on sun chairs next to the hot tub (but the male was sleeping with a towel over his face, so I'm not sure if it counts), and there was an intense Pokemon battle going on between the double Js (which I think is practice, since those two never get into a disagreement). The hot tub was filled mostly by moat of the male population our school's students, leaving no room for the other passengers to try and enter.

"Guys!" I barked once I couldn't take it anymore, going straight for Darren's mop of black and green hair (he's my team mate, so I'd rather yell at him than the other hot shirtless guys staring at me with curiosity.) "Give space for other people! You aren't the only passengers you know!"

"But Lei..." Darren whined fruitlessly while Quincey and William pouted up at me from next to him. Wah! Hotness overload!

I swallowed and forced my words to continue put of my mouth, "Did you not see those two?" I quickly looked away and pointed at a small 10 year girl who was dragging a boy of the same age towards us. I blinked in surprise.

"Let us in the hot tub!" The girl demanded with a scary glare, "You tall people aren't the only ones on the boat!"

I grinned and raised an eyebrow at my companions, "Well? What are you waiting for? Get out!"

"Awww!" The guys synched before a few stood up (mostly Quincey, Tyson, Rymero, and Andrew) and I quickly looked away before I get any shrewd metal images.

"Happy?" Darren asked, still clearly in the pool. With a small threatening glare, I grabbed his ear and tugged him out forcefully, him OWing the whole way.

"You two can go in now," I told the kids as I walked past them, but the girl only redirected her glare to me.

"I didn't need your help!" She hissed, it somehow intimidating me, "I could've done it myself!"

Well someone wanted to impress her boyfriend. Just sayin'.

"Okay then," I replied verbally before dropping the ear (and its owner) on the deck near where the people were tanning. "You've gotta be nicer."

"We were there first."

"That still doesn't stop you!"

"Why are you always picking on me?"

"Cuz you're annoying." And before he could even reply that he wasn't (he is!), I walked away and went to go inside the cabin, only to have the door slammed in my face. I glared at Darren, who had burst out in great laughter, and resisted giving him the finger.

"Sorry!" Kayla eeped as she spotted me holding my nose and giving Qincey and William dirty looks for starting a water splashing fight with the little 10 year olds. They should be 10 year olds, sheesh, have you seen how childish they were?

"It's okay," I automatically replied taking my hand off and staring at her normally. My eyes lifted to the people standing behind her. Ah, there's the random guys Kayla picked up. Oh that girl is such a flirt.

"It's not okay!" She suddenly said, "Your nose is bleeding!"

I never had a nosebleed before, especially from a hit to the face, "...What?"

"Her nose isn't bleeding," Random guy number one told me as he smirked at the girl, "Do you want me to give you an eye exam?"

LULWHUT IS HAPPENING?

"Oh you," Kayla giggled and swatted at his arm like a giddy school girl. DOES NOT COMPUTE. "Not in front of the children!"

I am not a children, THANKYOUVERYMUCH.

"Oh yeah sure," I rolled my eyes and decided to play along, leaving them with a small wave, "Bye mother! Be sure to use protection!"

I grinned evilly at their flustered expressions.

Point LeiMei, zero to random flirtage.

Victory!

-LINEBIATCH-

There once was a palace.

A very beautiful palace.

A palace that had Cacneas and Roserades keeping a faithful eye on the poor little princess on top of its tower.

But the princess was very lonely, you see?

And thus, she magically pulled out a Pokéball out nowhere and unleashed unholy burnage via magical Charizard upon the grass Pokémon.

The grass Pokémon were unfortunately lvl 100 though, and the Charizard but a mere 10. But that didn't stop the weeds and roses to have feelings!

They felt very sad of being unloved by the princess whom they greatly adored, and so they went on an evil rampage to climb into the tower to gain her trust and love back (not that they ever had it in the first place, but whatever).

"Oh noes!" Cried the princess dramatically as she leaned out of her tower to stare at the climbing monsters, "Charizard hadn't beaten them! Useless dragon. It took me forever to train you up to such a strong and awesome lvl!"

Charizard scoffed and flew away into the sunset, forever living in peace as he ran away from the snotty princess.

"GOOD RIDANCE!" She yelled behind him (not that he heard her anyways).

The grass Pokémon arrived into the tower, making her run back and hide under her bed, crying for her mommy. Because you see, she was afraid of getting thorns stuck in her hands if she dared come too close.

"Oh hai." She said as they got under the bed with her, "PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!"

"We're not going to eat you!" The Roserade yelled back, holding his hands up like a shield, "We just want to be friends!"

"F-friends?" The princess sniffled and wiped at the tears that suddenly chose to make an awesome guest star appearance, "You w-want to be friend w-with little ol' me?"

"You're old?" The Cacnea gasped with wide-eyes.

"Quick! RUNAWAY FROM THE OLD GRANNY!" The Roserade yelped and got out from the bed to jump out the window, Cacnea not far behind.

"Wait my friends!" The princess yelled as she followed them out the window, "WAIT FOR MEE!"

"NO THANKS!" The grass Pokémon yelled back as they magically landed on their lvl 100 feet and scurried back into the forest.

But you see, the princess wasn't lvl 100.

She was hardly even a 10 like her Charizard.

So you want to know what happened?

SPLAT.

"The end!" Random-guy-Kayla-had-found finished his story with a flourish.

I blinked, looked around, and finally asked, "You were talking to me?"

Random-guy-Kayla-had-found OTLed and went emo in his corner.

LeiMei 2, random guy's Kayla found 0.

I'm still pwning them. Booyah.

-LINEBIATCH-

"JUST DANCE, GUNNA BE OKAY! DUHN DUHN DO DO! JUST DANCE!"

"No Addie," Jillian replied calmly in the distance, "That won't work on me!"

"DAMNIT!"

I sighed and ran a hand through my night black locks, why did everyone have to be so loud annoying today?

"Ice cream!" Little kids yelled from somewhere before they all started to swarm around the deck and create nonsense, picking and pulling as they tried to be first in the imaginary lines to buy snowy treats.

I watched for two seconds before there was a, "LEI! LOOKOUT!"

There was no hesitation from me when I heard Jacob's voice, thus I swiftly ducked as an Aura Sphere flew over my head, about a few centimeters off.

I scowled, thinking about the scenarios that would've happened if I let it hit me, "Watch it!"

"Sorry!" Jacob yelled back without an ounce of remorse, "But we're training here!"

"Just don't try to kill people!" I hissed whilst shaking my fist angrily in his direction, "Stupid kids and their flying machines..." (SpongeBob reference, for those who don't get it)

"Flying machines?" Cedric popped out of nowhere with his annoying Chatot on his shoulder (admit it, they may be cute, but they're sure as he'll annoying, always repeating what you're saying all time), "Are you talking to yourself?"

"Maybe..." I glanced out the window and my jaw fell, "I SEE LAND!"

"Where?" Rymero also appeared out of nowhere with Tyson, the both of them following my example of shoving my face to the window to watch the rapidly moving land get closer and closer. I could see the ribbons everywhere and the flags and the signs and the food stands which meant...

PARTY!

-LINEBIATCH-

"Land sweet land!" Jess cried happily before running over to the nearest stationary object (which happened to be a decorated pole) and hugged it, "I love you!"

"Whoa there," Andrew tried to pry her away from the long boring object, "Do you hate the water that much?"

"Not really," She answered in a small moan, "But I got sea sick from watching the fishes swimming from under the deck!"

"That was your own fault," I piped up as I adjusted my backpack on my—well you know—back. "Do you know what time it is?"

Zak glanced at his watch, "Around 2 o clock, since the boat had that delay when Kiera's Pokémon went and froze some more important stuff."

"You gotta love her Pokémon though," Jess beamed before linking her arm in mine and forcing me to skip with her, "Let's go shopping!"

"But Jesssss!" Zak whined in the background, being a guy since all guys naturally don't like shopping unless it's about Pokémon stuff. "Can't we just walk around, do some sightseeing, and maybe see if there are some people to battle with?"

"Nope!" I replied in sync with Jess before the later skipped over and linked her arm in his, "Now let's shop 'till we drop!"

"NooooooOOOOOOOOOOOooooo!"

"Suck it up!" I called and started skipping faster, "It'll make you stronger!"

He pouted at us, forced to follow along, "In what way?"

"I have no idea!" Jess chirped as we found the first outdoor stand of conquest.

"FOOD!" All three of us yelled before bolting over to the woman working there.

"Oh hello," She smiled sweetly, "Would you like some?"

We shared looks.

"YES!"

And thus, the epic shopping journey has started.

-LINEBIATCH-

"HELLO EVERYONE!" The announcer yelled to the audience next to the stage while we watched on this camera backstage. "AND WELCOME TO THE ILLUSTRIOUS ALAMOS TOWN'S Pokémon COORDINATING CONTEST!"

The contest was outside in front of the dual towers of Space and Time (or so the museum trip had said) and it was set up like a football field in some sort of blow-up dome, only three quarters is for the audience while the rest was for us. There was a large stage set up, and most of it kept on going backstage as our supposed floor.

"LET ME INTRODUCE TO YOU OUR JUDGES!"

I zoned out here to instead pay attention to our little helpers backstage. We were a large bunch. We were thirty or so people trying out in this very popular contest, thus it would be natural to have others backstage to cheer on their friends. Our friends were here too! Étienne had apparently made Pokéblocks and was distributing them around respectively by our aim of cool, cuteness, smartness, etc. Jillian was going around giving tips to help others with making their Pokémon more beautiful (but half the people weren't paying attention since they were trainers) and was helping Sam and Étienne deliver the goods. All the others not mentioned took a seat in the audience, and if you squint at them for a few seconds, you might spot Tyson's bleach white hair amongst everyone.

Frost was hanging near and when the boy arrived to me with the food, I had to apologize when she swiped more than her desired share.

"LET'S WELCOME OUR FIRST CONTESTANT! KNAWTA! No last name available."

A girl with long black hair energetically came running on stage, straight bangs going slightly into her eyes as she leaned forward to toss her Pokéball high in the sky. The small child wore a fancy black dress and, oddly enough, no footwear. "Let's go, Mawile! Spin it!"

The golden creature twirled out of her ball in mid-air, fluttering down as it worked its giant jaw like a helicopter. It was something I've never seen before, and it was perfectly executed.

"That Knawta," Someone suddenly spoke up next to me. I turned to stare at a boy with purple hair hidden under a doggy hat, "Once a showoff, always a showoff."

"You know her?" I couldn't resist but ask.

He wasn't bothered that a sudden stranger suddenly spoke to him, "Unfortunately."

Silence.

Wellll... this is suddenly awkward.

"NEXT UP, ALEXIS DEMY!"

"That's me!" The girl eeped before dashing out of the room. A few seconds later, she appeared on TV clad in a dark blue spaghetti-strapped dress that reached her knees and with heels (le gasp). She expertly tossed a ball out and a Ralts came out with an array of petals that mostly likely came with seals. "Psychic!"

Ralts tilted his head cutely and lifted his hands as he started to glow, the petals slowly doing the same. Instead of having them freeze in mid air like I thought would happen, they kept on fluttering down naturally, whilst those on the floor lifted and started to twirl around the Pokémon in a mini twister.

"Confusion and Charm!"

The petals, once all above Ralts' head, exploded in an array of tiny pieces as they flew back down. I watched on curiously as they swooped up the small Pokémon in the air almost like magic. The Pokémon cooed happily and smiled at the audience, and I could tell they all just fell in love again.

"Wow, that was awesome!" William exclaimed through his gaping. "I didn't expect her to be that good!"

"Well, what do you expect?" Kyle replied as I joined them, "While we were out training our Pokémon for the gyms and battles, she—" He noticed my eyebrow raise and backtracked, "—the coordinators were all out practicing doing stuff like this!"

"NEXT UP, ARAELIUS SELTHEZ!"

I noticed that the boy I had used to be speaking to had vanished and reappeared on the screen calling out an Espeon.

"IT'S DONE!" Alexis suddenly cried as she appeared and diverted our attention. She quickly dived in Williams' arms for a hug that he happily gave, "Thank god! That was so scary!"

"Haven't you been in contests before?" I asked while I shared grins with Sam and Bree.

"I have, but the crowd is HUGE!" She exclaimed before shivering slightly and hugging her giant teddy bear closer, "It's so scary!"

"Thanks for the confidence boost!" Kiera said as went to the doors that lead to the stage, "If I were you guys, I'd be ready for anything!"

"But you aren't us," Jillian smiled, "And you can do whatever you want on the first stage of the constest."

"I know, I know," Kiera waved her off before hearing her name getting yelled in the intercom, "That's my cue! Wish me luck!"

"LUCK!" Nearly everyone that went to our school yelled back in sync. Addison and Maikee shared highfives before planting themselves in front of the screen.

Kiera wore a body-hugging knee-length red silk dress that was lifted to her hip on one side while she ran with black stiletto heels. She called out her Glaceon and it mewed and stalked the stage with shining grace before Kiera started her combination that most of us had seen them practice on the boat.

"Who's next?" I asked in anticipation, wishing that my turn would come up soon, "Please be me! Please be me!"

"You want to go that badly?" Darren grinned next to me, and I couldn't help but naturally narrow my eyes at him.

"I do!" I thumped a fist over my head, "I can't wait to get up there and show my stuff!"

"You'll have to wait a little longer though~!" Evil teammate of mine sing-sang.

My already narrowed eyes narrowed even more, "Why is that?"

"Because of this..."

Just as he finished saying those three words, the announcer went: "PLEASE GIVE A WARM WELCOME TO OUR NEXT COORDINATOR! DARREN! No last name available."

I gaped for a few quick seconds in his direction (mostly because he was already on his way to the stage), "How did you know?"

He shrugged, "At every contest I've participated in, I always seem to be the fifth one called!"

"That's spooky!" Andrew cut in, since he had been probably listening to the conversation from being next to us. "Good luck!"

I repeated the good luck and Darren vanished out the door.

ONLY TO APPEAR BACK ON TELEVISION! OH NOES!

"Go Swampert!" He called as he tossed the ball at the very front of the stage. The ground and water type appeared with sprinkles of water (seal) a mighty roar that made the crowd gasp in surprise.

"Use Muddy Water, then Earthquake!"

Swampert turned around so that his back was to the audience before spitting out some dirty and brown substance all over the field. Before it thinned and leaked off the stage to disappear forever, the Pokemon jumped, flipped in midair to face the crowd again, and landed again, it making the ground shake with much intensity.

The girls backstage with me shrieked and hurried to protect their heads with the nearest items. And even though I was quickly loosing balance and that everyone was freaking out, I spotted William and Alexis. They were sitting on the floor near a bench, him holding her protectively while she clutched his shirt in a death grip.

Let me say this now, AWWWWWW—Woa crap! Almost fell over! Jeez!

The quaking subsided for a moment and I looked back at the TV to see Darren kneeling to stabilize himself as the brown-ish water splashed around him. But that wasn't the best part. The shaking water created waves with the movement of the earthquake, but since the waves went in multiple directions, they collided together to send a small ball of water into the air before it came back down. This happened around the field while Swampert waited patiently in the middle for the next order.

"Ice beam! Then Hammer Arm!"

The water creature cried out its name in what I guess was an Okay! before it twirled on its feet to unleash the ice attack. The balls of water all froze at different moments, which made it easy Swampert to quickly switch to his next attack with a readied fist, tossing the flying balls of ice higher in the air as if he was playing ping-pong.

"Again!" Darren called as his Swampert nodded before jumping into the air to join his beloved frozen ping-pong balls. When they were all within the same distance, he spun in midarm, fist held out as he smashed the ice into a thousand little sparkling pieces of awesome.

Swampert landed back on his feet, most of its fur covered with thin ice, before owner and Pokémon bowed as the crowd went wild. I whopped and joined the crowd ecstatically. I knew he was awesome, but this much is enough to make me nervous!

"OUR NEXT CONTESTANT IS... ROY FITZ!"

"You were awesome Darren!" Quincey pounced on the boy when he arrived, "Now I have to figure out a way to beat that!" He went into thinking mode for a few seconds before he pouted, "Okay, so I can't. But I'll try my best!"

Darren beamed, "That's the way to go!"

"Yay!"

"Okay, our next participants are in this order, please try to remember who's before and after you," An official (I could tell because he had this nametag that workers usually wore) with a Bluetooth (c) and clipboard appeared to prepare us in advance. "Addison, Quincey, Iris, LeiMei—" I brightened up when I heard my name being called. "—Cedric, Athena, Zak, Bree, Andrew, Sasha, Maikee, Kyla and lastly Xavier."

When we nodded at him, he left and made us a bit lonelier.

I automatically skimmed the room, ignoring Quincey teasing Xavier for being the last one to perform. The boy scowled and said, "My combination will stay in their heads longer because I'm last."

Quincey shrugged and slung an arm around his shoulder, "But then you'll also have more pressure, since you have to keep up with the rest of us!"

"Are you LeiMei?" A small voice asked as someone tapped me on the shoulder. I spun around to look at the person. It was a girl apparently, and she looked to be a bit older than I. She had brown hair and blue eyes that matched her dress. "I'm Iris."

"I'm LeiMei," I repeated as I shook her hand with a smile, just to make it sound authentic, "Good luck in the competition."

She smiled back politely, "You too,"

"LET'S WELCOME ADDISON HATTER TO THE STAGE!"

"Yay!" Addie squealed, letting go of Maikee and nearly trampling over a pile of people as she rushed for the door. She was clad in a black, one-shoulder dress (with a rose on said shoulder) that flowed down to her ankles, hiding a pair of gold gladiator heels. "Let's go, Vee!"

The Leafeon cried happily at its release, and I just realized now that both the new ice and grass Eevee evolutions had appeared on stage. Talk about an awesome coincidence!

"Cute~!" A small girl chirped next to us, and I looked in time to recognize her as the girl from the hottub, "I always wanted an Eevee evolution!"

"You could probably get one if you tried," I encouraged lightly, giving her a bright smile.

"Who asked you?" She snapped and huffed, turning on her heels and leaving me silent in her dust.

Even though I had two points over the random guys Kayla found, the random 10 year old holds her skillz expertly over mine.

How depressing.

-LINEBIATCH-

"Woo! Quincey!" His fanbase—yes, the same one from the classroom—cheered as he beamed and waved as he walked offstage stage, the appearance of sunshines and rainbows and everything happy and bright that girls love clinging to him. He wore a simple suit with a matching simple gray and white spotted tie, and quickly pulled off the tie to fan himself when he returned backstage.

"It's so hoot." He whined pitifully, spinning his tie around to make wind. It wasn't working so well. "Is there a fan out here?"

Bree rolled her eyes at them, fingering a page in her large Harry Potter book, "We're outside,"

"There can still be a fan outside!" Quincey automatically defended, "Right Darren?"

Darren snapped out of daydreaming to look at our little group circle, "What?"

"Exactly!"

"That doesn't make any sense!" Sasha snapped as she joined us, hands on her hips, "Can we stop arguing and be silent? The next competitor is going to be called!"

"LET'S WELCOME IRIS! No last name available."

The woman calmly walked on stage, surveying the crowd calmly with her sapphire irises (heh, pun), making them all shush when they felt the invisible waves of superiority reach them. I could feel it from my side of the television. She planted herself dead center of the stage, and everyone kept their eyes on her as she slowly pulled out her Pokéball.

"Let's go Renga." A large Arcanine flashed in the room, letting out a mighty roar that intimidated most of the crowd. It growled and stalked forwards, scarring people out of its wits when it unleashed a Flamethrower at them before jumping off the stage. My eyes widened when I took it all in, the crowd screaming and running, Iris calmly ordering her Pokémon to attack everyone in her way, the Arcanine finding away to run around and keep everyone in the room via Extremespeed, the host and judges hiding under the table, fire was everywhere but mostly on the curtains. It was all too much too fast!

"Lei!" Sam pulled my arm as she started dragging me along, "We have to help everyone evacuate! I'll have my Zangoose try to track down people with its speed to make it easier on us. I hope you don't mind being a distraction for a little while until I find a trainer with a water Pokémon to help us to truly weaken it."

"Where's Maikee or Darren?" I yelled over the people screaming in horror backstage.

"Maikee vanished and Darren's trying to find Xavier so that he can help us with his Croconaw," She replied before pushing open the door as we ran towards the front stage. "Everyone scattered when the Arcanine attacked. We need to hurry."

"Alright," I pulled out my second Pokéball from my silver belt as we ran and reached the front stage. Iris was there and she glanced at us when she noticed our presence, yet not doing anything to stop us. I tossed my ball out when her attention left us, "Go Shadow!"

The Dusclops appeared and calmly hovered in the sky before it noticed the chaos, coming back down to hover protectively a few feet in front of me. "Dus!"

"Shadow Sneak me to that door over there!" I pointed at the location where Arcanine was growling low at a family that were clutching onto each other and crying out in despair.

My faithfully ghost type nodded before placing its large hands on my shoulders, it forcing me down into the shadows in the floor as I felt space and time distort squeamishly inside of me. I was quickly pulled up behind the large dog Pokémon and, before it could register that we snuck up on it, I landed a quick punch to the back of its head. I latched onto Shadow in defence, and he safely Shadow Sneaked us out of there.

"There, Renga!" I heard Iris call again, "Extremespeed!"

"Shadow Sneak, quick!" I barely had half my words out of my mouth when I was shoved harshly back into the shadows. Shadow, my Pokémon, let me out a few dozen meters away before forcing me to sit in a chair while it took a defensive pose in front of me when the Arcanine jumped on the chairs in front of the stage its owner was standing on. The audience and crowd were all huddled together, a few slipping out safely when Arcanine settled with Iris. I was glad, but at the same time worried that a worthy water trainer could've escaped.

"Renga, use Crunch!"

"Don't let them, Shadow! ShadowPunch them in the face!"

A loud cry erupted in the sky and it made both Shadow and I pause to look up. Arcanine took that to its advantage and slammed its jaws into my Dusclops. I let out a worried cry, quickly remembering that dark types were super effective against ghosts somehow. I quickly looked back up when a large dark shadow fell upon my eyes, and I sure recognized the certain familiar cloaked figure riding an Aerodactyl as it circled around a dark figure hovering alone in the sky, recognizing it from what Sam had told.

Only one thing was off though. Weren't they back in Alto Mare?

Just what the hell was going on here?

I forgot to mention, but I'm getting Pokemon white. That means that gen 5 Pokemon will mostly likely be included in the story now! Aren't you excited?

I hope I had the contest style/thing right...

SO ALL OC OWNERS, READY FOR 'EM SEXY QUESTIONS?

1. Weren't the cameos just awesome? ;D
