"Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls! It's time for the event you've all been waiting for!" Marian the announcer, um, announced. "Welcome to the Oreburgh City Pokémon Contest!" The fans screamed across the stadium. In one corner, Zina, Romulus, Cal, Rachel, and Michael sat together, cheering for their friends. "Let me introduce you to our judges! He's the chief of the Pokémon Activities Committee, and is known as a world-renowned Pokémon Connoisseur, it's Mr. Contesta!" The man walked out onto the stage and waved.
"I can't wait to see the many bright, young coordinators out here today!" He announced. Marian smiled and turned toward the next judge.
"Now it's time for our next judge. He's the president of the Pokémon Fan Club, and is known for his 'remarkable' style! It's Mr. Sukizo!" The man walked out and took his place at the table.
"This contest will be remarkable!" He said, smiling. Marian turned to announce the last judge.
"This last judge is the smile you see every day at the Pokémon Center. It's Oreburgh City's own Nurse Joy!" Nurse Joy walked in waving.
"Hello everyone! I can't wait to see you all preform today!" She said. The crowd cheered.
"Alright!" Marian cheered. "Let's get started! Our first contestant hails from our own Oreburgh City! Here's contestant number one, Autumn!" Autumn skipped onto stage. She wore a short, sparkly, dark blue dress that ended just above her knee. Her hair was curled, and she had a dark blue ribbon in it.
"That's the girl who your brother is afraid of, right?" Zina asked Romulus. He nodded.
"She's really good. I'm afraid to see what she has in store for this contest." He noted. They looked back at Autumn.
"Shieldon! Let's rock!" She shouted. The dinosaur-like Pokémon popped out.
Wo-hoo! Contest time! He shouted.
"Shieldon, use Sandstorm!" A sandstorm filled the stadium. "Now Flash Cannon!" The bright move caused the sand to glisten all around Shieldon. "Finish it with Thunderbolt!" The stadium glowed as Shieldon released the electricity, lighting up the sand. It fell to the ground, leaving Shieldon glowing with static.
"Look at the shine around Shieldon!" Marian said. "This is amazing!"
"The power of Shieldon was shown in that Flash Cannon!" Nurse Joy said.
"Truly remarkable!" Mr. Sukizo said.
"The reflecting light was beautiful, and the static from the Thunderbolt was a nice touch.." Mr. Contesta commented.
"Nice job Autumn! Now it's time for our next contestant…" Autumn skipped backstage with Shieldon.
"You did great out there." Danny said to Autumn. "You too, Shieldon."
Thanks Mister! Shieldon said.
"No problem." Danny laughed. Autumn looked at Danny.
"You can understand him?" She asked. He nodded. "How?"
"I don't know. Steel types and I kind of click. I've always been able to speak to them."
"Cool." She said. "Hey look, it's Remus!" She pointed to the screen.
"Next up we have Remus of Driftveil City. Let's see what he can do!" Marian announced. Remus wore a white suit with a blue tie and black shoes. The bottom of his pants had bubbles on them.
"Come on Aqua!" Remus sent out his Seismitoad Aqua.
Let's go! Aqua shouted. In the stands, Rachel looked at Zina. It seemed that the girl understood Aqua's words.
"Aqua, use Surf!" The large frog-like Pokémon released a wave of water. "Now use Hyper Voice!" The sound waves clashed with the actual waves, creating a beautiful pattern of ripples. "Finish in the middle of the pool!" Aqua ran and jumped into the water. But instead of creating a huge wave, she landed gracefully in the middle, causing the water to ripple and flow around the stage.
"I loved how he combined Hyper Voice and Surf for that beautiful effect!" Nurse Joy said.
"The ripples were remarkable!" Mr. Sukizo agreed.
"Aqua's gracefulness was amazing! I loved the water effects." Mr. Contesta said.
"Wonderful job Remus! Now, our next contestant is from the small town of Twinleaf. Let's welcome Danny!" Zina and Cal cheered loudly for their friend. He walked on stage in a pale blue suit and a black tie.
"Nyxen, take flight!" Nyxen popped out of his Pokéball. After some training, the small Starly had evolved into a Staravia. "Nyxen, use Double Team." The bird multiplied. "Use Wing Attack!" The original bird slashed through the copies with great speed and agility. "Finish it with Epic Growl!" The crowd murmured in confusion. Nyxen flew up in the air. Once he was high enough, he flattened his wings and dropped. Opening his beak, he let out a loud growl. The crowd cheered in amazement. However, Nyxen was coming very close to the ground, and couldn't land. "Nyxen, stop!" Nyxen screeched in horror and rolled onto the floor.
OUCH! WHY'D YOU LET ME DO THAT? He squawked at Danny.
"Loved the beginning, but work on the end!" Nurse Joy said.
"Remarkable start." Mr. Sukizo said.
"I loved your beginning, but I would suggest working on the ending a bit more." Mr. Contesta added.
"Thank you Danny. Now, let's…" Zina stopped listening to Marian and groaned. Michael looked at her.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"The landing." Zina muttered. "We've worked on that landing for hours. If Nyxen had just gotten ready a little earlier…"
"I see what you mean." Michael noted. "He's going to lose points for that. It seems that Remus is the best choice."
"How is my brother the best?" Asked Romulus.
"Well, Autumn did well, but we couldn't really see Shieldon through the sand." Michael said.
"True." Added Cal. "I hope Danny's okay."

Back in the waiting room, Danny and Remus were talking, with Autumn standing nearby.
"If I had just been able to stick the landing." Danny moaned. "That was horrible!"
"It's okay man. In my first contest, I tried my Sound Wave technique, but Aqua could never make the jump. It was super intense." Remus said.
"And one time I was trying an Ice Beam/Mud Shot combo, but it failed miserably." Autumn added. "But it's okay. You made it to the second round, so you're fine."
"How do you know?" Danny asked. Autumn smiled.
"Turn around."
"And it looks like we have final eight contestants!" Marian announced. Danny, Autumn, and Remus all appeared on screen.
"So we're all facing different people." Remus mused. "Let's hope we meet in the final four!" The other two nodded in agreement.
-break-
The first battle was between a Ponyta and a Roselia. Oddly enough, the Roselia won. The next match was Autumn against a trainer with a Venonat. Autumn was using her Archen.
"Use Poison Powder Venny!" The trainer said. "Then use Confusion!" The purple flecks of Poison Powder glowed blue in the Confusion. It began to circle Archen.
"Destroy the poison with Dragon Claw!" Archen's slashed through the ring with an Indigo flame. "Now use Rock Slide." Archen punched the ground. The rocks fell and trapped Venonat in a circle. "Now Acrobatics!" Archen flipped up onto the rocks. Then, she jumped around, preforming amazing tricks. Finally, she dove towards the terrified Venonat and nailed it head-on. It was a critical hit, leaving the Venonat knocked-out.
"Archen and Autumn will advance in the next round!" Marian said. "Let's get to the next battle between Harvey and Danny!"
"Go, Wurmple!" The trainer known as Harvey said.
"Squirt, take flight!" Danny called. "Start spinning, and then use Water Sport!" Squirt spun around and released Water Sport. It looked like rain. Harvey's meter went down on the screen.
"Wurmple, use Poison Sting!" The worm shot the purple spikes at the water, creating a beautiful purple glow. Danny's meter decreased.
"Ooh, that's going to be hard to follow." Cal muttered.
"Now Wurmple, use String Shot!" Wurmple spit the string at Squirt.
"Dodge and grab the string." Danny said. Squirt moved and the attack missed. He grabbed onto the string. "Now, pull Wurmple towards you." Squirt yanked the worm towards him. "Throw him over your head and use Bubble Beam." The Wurmple flew into the air and was propelled by bubbles. Harvey's meter deceased.
"One minute left!" Marian announced. Danny gritted his teeth; he had to make up for his failure in the first round.
"Squirt, use Peck on the bubbles!" Squirt hit the bubbles, causing Wurmple to fall. "Finish with Pound!" Squirt knocked the Wurmple away with total majesticness, right as the timer went out.
"And it looks like Squirt and Danny are advancing to the next round!" Marian announced. "Finally, we have Remus facing Samuel!" A blue haired boy stepped up.
"Go Croagunk." The blue guy said. Remus smirked.
"Come on Kari!" Remus released his faithful partner Kari. The Galvantula crackled with electricity.
"Croagunk, use Mud Bomb." Croagunk launched the bomb at Kari.
"Signal Beam!" Remus shouted. The Signal Beam broke the Mud Bomb, covering the stadium in mud. The frog was blasted back. "Great job Kari. Now use Electroweb, and then Discharge." Kari shot the web at Croagunk. It was trapped under the web. The giant spider then used Discharge, and lit up the web with blue electricity. Samuel's bar went down.
"Use Revenge." Croagunk broke the web with his fist. "Now Faint Attack." Kari looked around for the frog. It jumped up from behind her and landed on her back.
"Croagunk showcases his agility and speed with that attack!" Marian said. "This will be tough for Remus to top!" She shouted as Remus's bar went down.
"I wouldn't say that." Remus said. "Now Kari, use Discharge!"
"Croagunk get off!" Samuel shouted. It was too late. The frog was shocked in mid-air. It slowly got up.
"Now Signal Beam and Electro Ball!" Remus shouted. Kari fired an Electro Ball at Croagunk, and then boosted it with Signal Beam. The electricity glowed with color from the Signal Beam. It knocked Croagunk to the ground, just as the timer ran out.
"Kari and Remus will advance to the next round!" Marian shouted. The crowd cheered. Remus returned Kari and went backstage. He hi-fived Danny and then sat down.
"So two of us will be fighting. This will be interesting." Danny said. Autumn looked up at the screen.
"Winner fights Remus." She said. Danny looked at the screen. The screen showed that Remus was matched up with the Roselia trainer, and that Danny and Autumn were fighting each other. "You ready for this?" Danny nodded. "I'm really excited that I get to fight a Hayden."
"I look forward to facing Danny in the final round." Remus said. "Because I know he's going to beat you." Autumn raised an eyebrow.
"Is that so?" She asked. "I think you're just afraid of me." Remus cringed.
"JUST GO BATTLE!"
-Break-
In the stands, Zina, Rachel and Romulus were discussing move typing and strategies for battling Roark. As it turns out, Romulus had already beaten him. They were discussing how Minda should train for the battle. Cal and Michael were getting snacks.
"I'm hoping Danny wins." Michael said. "Autumn seems kind of…strange. All of her Pokémon are Rock types!"
"There's a problem with that?" Cal asked.
"Well, yeah! Why would you only have one type on your team?"
"It's called being a Gym Leader." Michael was quiet for a few seconds.
"Forget you." He said running back to the stadium. Cal laughed and followed.
-Break-
"And now, the battle you've been waiting for. Autumn Bronze versus Danny Hayden!" Marian announced. The crowd went wild as the two stepped onto the stage. "Let's see who will face Remus in the final round." Remus had quickly defeated his opponent, and was now waiting backstage.
"Archen, let's rock!" Autumn released her beloved bird. Archen stretched her wings.
"Squirt, take flight!" Danny's partner popped out. "Ready?" He asked Autumn. She nodded.
"Archen, use Acrobatics!" Archen jumped around Squirt, preforming some of her infamous flips. Squirt looked around, confused. Finally, Archen knocked him over.
"Squirt, distract Archen with Water Sport!" Danny called. Squirt shot the Water Sport in the bird's face, and then ran away. "Now use Bubble!" The penguin filled the field with bubbles.
"Archen, destroy the bubbles with Rock Slide!" Archen hit the ground, sending rocks flying.
"Dodge it!" But Squirt was too late. The rocks hurtled towards him at light speed. "Pound!" The tiny Pokémon attempted to break some of the rocks with Pound. It worked, but just barely. "Bubble!" Little bubbles surrounded Archen. She fell to the ground.
"What happened?" Zina asked in the stands.
"Water type moves are strong against rock types." Romulus reminded her. "It seems that Danny might have the upper hand." Squirt ran around the field incasing Archen in bubbles.
"Now finish with Peck!" Danny shouted.
"Use Steel Wing!" Autumn called. The two attacks met…just as the buzzer went off. Dust settled on the field.
"And it looks like…Squirt and Danny will take part in the finals!" Marian announced. Zina cheered.
"It may seem good now, but he's totally screwed." Michael said. His friends turned to look at him. "Remus is using an electric type."
"Oh great." Zina muttered.
"This is his first contest." Cal reminded her. "You can't expect him to win his first contest."
"I guess that's true." She said. "Look, the battle's starting!" Sure enough, Kari and Squirt were facing off. Kari was firing Electro Balls at Squirt, and Squirt was dodging them quickly. The blue bird slipped under the large spider.
"Squirt, use Peck!" Danny commanded. Squirt attacked the spider's stomach.
"Discharge." Remus called. Squirt was shocked. Kari moved over.
"And Squirt is unable to battle!" Marian called. "It looks like-wait. What's going on?" A bright light surrounded the penguin Pokémon. "It seems that Squirt is evolving!"
"No way!" Danny said. "Squirt, you okay?" He asked. They light flashed once more before dying down. It left Squirt standing there, as a newly evolved Prinplup.
I'm ready Danny! He shouted.
"Let's go! Use Pound." Squirt knocked Kari over. "Now surround her with bubbles!" Squirt ran at an amazing speed, and trapped Kari in a circle of bubbles.
"Use Discharge again!" Remus commanded. Kari lit up the bubbles, but Squirt jumped behind a rock to hide. "Break the rock with Signal Beam!" The rock split in half, but Squirt was ready. He ran through the attack, using his beak to spilt it in half.
"Pound!" Danny shouted.
"Use Electroweb!" Remus said at the same time. Kari shot the web at Squirt, stopping him from his attack. Then the timer went off.
"That was an exciting battle, wasn't it?" Marian asked the audience. "Let's see who the winner is!" She looked at the screen. "And the winner of the Oreburgh City contest is…Remus Boreas!"
-BREAK-
No, I wasn't going to make Danny win. He needs something to fuel his passion for the next contest.
I was actually considering making Autumn win, but I needed to give her a reason to battle Danny again, so I had him beat her.
Next chapter should be the week of April 7th. Now I have to go write my YJ chapter and survive this 7-hour car trip to Florida. Should be fun. Also, check out my other Pokémon stories-The Chronicles of Percy and There Goes Nimbasa. I would appreciate it :3
Read, review, and have a nice day!
