Roy: Ello there, sorry for the late update, I was sick and Jake was well…playing LOL.

Anyways here's to a new chapter and hope you like it!

NOTICE: POKEMON IS NOT OURS!

No one's POV

"We're finally here!" exclaimed Liz,

The trio stood on the path as Lavender Town was now in evidently seen in the distance. The group had been travelling for around four more days after parting ways with their friends at Miserus City.

Dan, the young trainer, grinned and said "Awesome! You can win your second ribbon here and maybe I can train a bit for Saffron City."

Connor, the young man, nudged his two arguing partners and said "It could be an opportunity for you two to catch some ghost types; this little town is full of them."

The two rookies looked at each other excitedly and said "Really?"

The expert trainer nodded as the two hi fived and after the contact of their hands, the touch lingered for a bit and both young trainers pulled away with their faces a bit red. Connor merely chuckled and said "Alright alright, so let's head on down shall we?"

It wasn't long until both trainers reached the town. It was a pretty simple place, small buildings, houses, daycares, a center but what caught their eye was the exceptionally large tower that everyone could see.

"Dang," breathed Dan, "That building is huge, way bigger than those in Viridian,"

Liz nodded in agreement and said "Yeah, what is it?"

Connor watched as Animus took a step forward and slightly nodded his head and Connor said "This is where all dead Pokemon are buried, the tower of ghosts, Lavender Tower."

"So we'll catch ghost Pokemon here?" asked Liz,

"Yep," answered Connor as Arthus gave a paw to his brother's shoulder, "What time will your contest be Liz?"

"Around 6," replied the coordinator, "Can we head to the center first so I can register?"

The group nodded but Animus was still frozen in place as he kneeled on one knee and he looked at the tower sadly. Connor sighed and said "Go ahead, we may need to stay here for a while,"

The two kids and the two Pokemon nodded and walked away, Dan put his hands behind his head and said "What was that about?"

"I don't know," replied Liz, "I've never seen Animus so sad,"

The two Pokemon, Jordan and Luke nodded in agreement after worrying about their master. The two trainers got to the center and Liz said "Hey Dan, I'll just register, be back in a bit."

Dan nodded and sat down on a seat with Jordan and Luke beside him. The purple haired boy took off his cap and said "So we're going to get a ghost type today, which one should we get if we can find one?"

The two Pokemon shrugged as Dan heard a crash behind him. He turned to see a scrawny guy on the floor with a pained grin on his face. Dan raised a brow and said "B?"

The guy got up and said "Dan! Bro! What's up!"

Dan smiled and said "Just on my way to my fourth badge, Liz has got a contest here. How about you?"

The guy took a seat and said "Just the usual, came from Saffron with my next badge and now CC has got a contest here so we've got to stay here till then."

Dan nodded and said "Where is she anyway?"

Meanwhile as the two talked, Liz was filling out a form. She scribbled down her name and other requirements and finished she handed the paper to Nurse Joy along with her Pokeballs and said "Thanks Nurse Joy!"

The nurse smiled and nodded at her but before she could walk away a familiar voice said "Hold on! Please take this too!"

Liz turned to see a taller girl with thick frizzy brown hair and indigo shirt and jeans. She wore bangle bracelets on one arm and she wore strapped sandals. Her blue eyes glittered as she spotted Liz and said "Liz!"

"Seaerral!"

The two girls hugged and said "How have you been?"

"Great!" replied Liz, "Had some ups and downs but it's been fine, how about you?"

"Pretty great," replied Seaerral, "B got his forth badge and I'm here for the contest."

"Really?" asked Liz nervously,

The girl nodded and Liz was a little bit nervous now since she saw how much of a powerful trainer Seaerral was. She composed herself and said "Cool! I am too, hope we get to battle."

"Sure," said Seaerral, "B and I have got somewhere to go first, later!"

Liz sighed and took her pokeballs back from the nurse and walked back to Dan who approached her with his joyful smile. Dan poked Jordan on the head for being annoying and said "Should we go find Connor or do we wait for him?"

Liz failed to reply and Dan said "Hey princess what's up?"

She looked at him and said "Just thinking,"

"About?" ventured the purple haired boy,

The royal blood rolled her eyes and said "You're to curious for your own good you know,"

"I get that a lot," said Dan, "All Ketchums do, now spill,"

The denim clad girl leaned on the wall and said "It's that Seaerral is joining the contest and you saw how tough she was back at Cerulean, she even beat Vencer, what chance I have?"

Dan leaned beside her and said "Remember, you've gotten stronger too, not only that but you got some experience from all the stuff that's happened. Believe in yourself like how we believe in you, how I believe in you."

Her face felt hot as Dan looked at her and Jordan and Luke gave her thumbs up gestures. She smiled and said "Thanks Dan, I think I should."

"There's Lizzy," said the purple haired boy,

She punched his arm and said "Hey!"

Rubbing his arm, Dan said "Boy for a princess you can hit,"

She smiled triumphantly as Connor walked through the center door with Animus and Arthus by his side. Arthus was grinning while Animus was still looking depressed. Connor gave him a pat on the back and said "Hello guys, what did we miss?"

"Nothing," replied Dan, "Just Seaerral and B being here,"

"Really?" asked Connor, "Anyone else?"

"No," said Liz, "That's it, I'm pretty sure."

Connor looked disappointed for a split second and fixed himself as Dan said "Why? Who were you expecting? Quincy?"

Connor froze a bit as he stuttered "N-No,"

That was the weird part, Connor never stuttered. Liz pulled her thought together, put on a sly smile and said "Ooooh, somebody's lovesick,"

Connor rolled his eyes as Animus even cracked a smile. Dan laughed a bit and was about to say something until Connor pulled off his shades to reveal angry red eyes. He didn't look angry but his eyes blazed with fire, Connor smiled a small bit and said "Drop it,"

Dan and Liz turned silent as Jordan and Luke cowered in fear at the conviction in his voice. He put his shades back on, grinned and said "That's better,"

Dan shook his head and said "Can we go to the Lavender Tower before the contest?"

Connor's gaze drifted to Animus who heard and frowned. The golden Pokemon nodded as Connor said "Sure! Let's go!"

The group walked in front of the Lavender Tower but not before Connor muttering something and they walked in. There were tombstones all around and people were littered everywhere praying or doing something.

Connor sighed as Dan looked around and said "Dang this place is huge!"

"Fifty floors to be exact," said Connor,

Liz looked up and said "That's tall,"

Dan hopped on one foot to the other and said "So how do we get ghost types here?"

Connor felt something under his right sleeve and said "You have to find them, ghost types are hard to find since they can run away pretty easily."

Liz and Dan nodded as they turned and said "So where do you want to go first?"

"How about there?" said Liz,

She pointed at the dark corridor that sent shivers up their spines. Dan looked unsure as he said "Are you sure about that?"

Connor shrugged and said "Where is the fun in adventure without the risk?"

Dan and Liz nodded as they walked across the dark corridor with Connor, Arthus and Animus. Jordan was silent on Dan's shoulder as they came across a lot of Pokemon portraits that looked so real and scary and a pair of eyes seemed to be following them.

Jordan shivered as Dan took more steps and the floor started creaking. They stopped in front of a large portrait of the Lavender Tower and Dan said "This thing must be old,"

"You bet it is," said Liz, "This thing must be like a hundred years old."

Connor leaned in and said "If you look close enough, it's like the people are life like."

The two young trainers had no time to react as Connor tripped and his face slammed against the painting. Connor staggered back as his face left a deep gash on the painting and he said "Well it could have been worse,"

The painting started to edge with cracks until it crumbled into nothing, the wall the painting on was now a large oak door that looked really old. Connor, Dan, Liz and the Pokemon's eyes widened as Connor touched the door know, twisted and then opened it.

The room was pitch black but a large and powerful gust of wind blew out and messed up the trainers. There was an eerie sound coming from inside and Connor said "Tally ho,"

Connor's POV

Probably not my best plan but we went in anyway. The room was pitch black and after a few steps in, the door slammed shut. I grabbed the knob and tried to turn it but it wouldn't budge. Dan and Liz's aura felt panicked as I said "Well I guess we can't go out there anymore."

Dan looked nervous as he said "Can you make Animus or Arthus open it?"

I knocked at the door and dust and a bit of cobble fell from above. I shook my head and said "Cant, this place is too unstable, any more then we might get buried here."

Liz stuttered and said "How about light, it's so dark."

Dan just shook his head since he could see in the dark; it was one of the abilities he got that came along with the mark. One of mine was lie detecting but the others were another story.

Dan looked forward and said "There is a deep staircase there, I'll go first then Liz and then Connor? Deal?"

"Okay," replied Liz,

Dan and his two Pokemon went down the Arceus knows how deep stair case after me hearing creek after creek. Animus was still quiet since he did not like being reminded of the dead and as do I.

After a few minutes Dan said "Alright Liz come on! It's clear here!"

The princess took nervous steps down but as she reached the third step, she slipped as the stairs started to come down and she fell into Dan's arms but the stairs were now broken, rigid and dangerous.

The two parted nervously as I said "You two alright!"

"Fine!" called Liz, "How are you going to get here?"

I raised a brow and said "Give me half a minute,"

Arthus tapped my shoulder and said "Partner, maybe brother and I could leap us over there."

I smirked and said "Deal,"

Arthus put me on his shoulder as he leapt down the massive flight of stairs gracefully and with no sense of error. Animus did the same and Dan and Liz were now looking around the room. I clapped and said "We need to find a switch for the lights or anything."

Dan snapped his fingers and said "I know! Jordan use Flash!"

The Pichu slipped his goggles on and flashed a bright light but before anyone could react, a massive scary face appeared and Dan and I yelled in surprise while Liz screamed.

"What was that!" asked Dan,

"Well it was large, purple, weird, ghostly and familiar," I replied,

"What are you saying Connor?" said Liz,

"I'm saying that a Pokemon is playing with us, probably a ghost type,"

The two went silent as I raised my finger and said "I think I have my lighter here,"

I pulled out my chrome lighter and lit it to see a ghost type Pokemon blow out the fire. I didn't see what it was but I was annoyed. Animus and Arthus stood beside me as Arthus let out a loud and intimidating growl with his brother. I lit up the lighter again and this time the light was sustained.

I waved the lighter to Dan and Liz who said "What now?"

I raised the lighter to the wall and saw that it was like a gigantic playroom. I saw a light switch but before I could walk over there, the lighter was stolen from my hands. The lighter was still on and we saw a purple specter flying Dan pulled out his Pokedex and he said "It's a Haunter!"

The Pokemon materialized and next to it materialized a smaller Pokemon that looked like it had beads around its neck. Liz pulled out her Pokedex and said "It's a Misdrevous!"

The two Pokemon laughed as they made faces at us. Connor dodged a Shadow Punch form the Haunter and said "These two must live in this part of the tower, this is your chance kids!"

"Right!" said the two rookies,

Dan pointed at the Haunter and said "Luke Its Go Time!"

Liz threw a ball and said "Eevee Shine Bright!"

The two Pokemon appeared in a flash of light as ten or so Ghastly appeared, Arthur's claws extended as Animus crouched I nodded and said "I got the Ghastlys! Go!"

"Luke use Blaze Kick!"

"Eevee use Bite!"

The two Pokemon lunged with their attacks but it was still really dark and the haunter dropped the lighter and threw a Shadow Punch at Luke who was directly hit. The fighting type flew back and landed on the ground while before Eevee even got close; the ghost type had blasted her with a Psybeam.

The two got back up, meanwhile Arthus slashed left and right with Night Slash completely unaffected by the darkness while Animus pushed all of that came close back with a Psychic attack.

Luke dodged a Shadow Ball and swiped the Haunter with a Bone Rush and followed it up with a Foresight induced Focus Punch. Eevee clamped her teeth on the Misdrevous and threw it causing the two ghost types to collide.

The ghost types got back up and now Luke and the Haunter were dodging and returning blows. The Haunter was a natural warrior with its fighting style and moves. It got Luke surprised with a underground Shadow Punch but Luke evaded it and quickly delivered a back flip Blaze Kick.

Eevee wasn't doing so good anymore since Liz couldn't cope with the dark like dan could. She was tossed around after attack and attack of he Misdrevous. Liz called for her and said "Eevee no!"

The normal type was thrown again after a Confusion attack. The normal type struggled to get up but a bright light started to emit form the normal type. Eevee grew slightly larger and her tail split into two and a gem appeared on her head. Her skin was now purple and she stood elegantly before the Ghost type.

The Pokemon seemed to glow in light as I said "Light my cap it evolved into Espeon and its using Morning Sun!"

Some Pokemon shielded their eyes from the light except Jordan who had his goggles on. The newly evolved Psychic type glared at the Misdrevous as the Pokemon unleashed a Confusion attack. Liz grinned and said "Wow Eeve- Espeon! You look so beautiful! Counter that with Psychic!"

The two Psychic attacks clashed and Espeon overpowered Misdrevous knocking it beside Haunter. She raised her fist in victory as the Espeon mewled in happiness. I clapped and said "She was bound to evolve, she was already so strong."

Dan and Liz readied a Pokeball and said "Go Pokeball!"

The two Pokeballs hit the two respective Pokemon as the balls shook once, twice, thrice and then it snapped shut. The two trainers cheered as the ghastly ran away. The balls disappeared in a flash of light and Liz said "Huh?"

I walked over and said "You have six Pokemon right now Liz, meaning anything els you catch goes to where you set it as the recon point."

"I set it at home so the Misdrevous is probably there right now," said Liz

She hugged her Espeon and said "Wow Espeon you look so great and better now! We can so win this contest and you'll be my secret weapon."

The Espeon smiled and Luke patted her back in congratulations. Jordan smiled at her and congratulated her too. Dan snickered a bit when Espeon spoke and Liz said "What is it?"

"Nothing" replied Dan barley holding it in,

I raised a brow but I knew that Espeon's voice changed and she spoke like a Princess now. I would laugh too but that would have been rude. The Pokemon held its head high in a royal manner and mewled. I nodded and said "We'll we have to get out of here."

The Espeon glowed brightly again and pointed at a cracked wall. As I pushed my shades up, I walked over and said "Great idea, this one is still sturdy,"

My hands gestured to Arthus and said "My friend can you slice this open?"

His right claw extended as he slashed through the thin wall and it ripped open to fresh sunlight. The kids and others cringed at the light but Jordan and I held our place. We walked out as I said "Why the heck are we here?"

We were in the contest hall and there was just a massive rip in the wall which we came out from. Liz glanced at her watch and said "I'm on in five! Come on Espeon! Later guys wish me luck!"

Dan laughed and said "Well that was convenient"

Liz's POV

I readied myself as I stroked Espeon's new soft lavender fur. I cant believe she finally evolved and into the one I wanted! She was so delicate now and she was really gracefull. She no longer acts like the old Eevee but now as a Royal Espeon since she was the child of my Mother's Vaporeon and Father's Flareon, it kind of made her a Royal Pokemon.

I sat on my seat on the waiting area and the only other person I knew here was Seaerral and she wasn't anywhere her yet. I looked at Espeon and said "What new attacks do you know Espeon?"

She yawned as I scanned her with my Pokedex. I smiled as I read "Morning Sun, Zap Cannon, Signal Beam, Power Gem, Psychic, Psybeam, Shadow Ball, Psycho Cut and Swift. Awesome new additions! We'll win for sure!"

She smiled and lied down as we watched the host Mian appear and she said "Welcom to the Lavender Town Contest! Sorry for the delay there seemed to be a random hole in the wall in the lobby."

I chuckled slightly as Espeon grinned. Mian laughed with the crowd and said "So anyway, here are the judges! Mister Contesta! Mister Sukizo and our own Nurse Joy!"

The three judges appeared once more and waved to the crowd. Mian posed and said "Today we have thirty coordinators who will be left to the top four and then the finals for the Lavender Ribbon!"

She held a ribbon as the same color of Espeon's skin as we grinned at the screen. She clapped and said "Let's get this show on the road! First up is the Unova Princess Seaerral Meetafor!"

I clapped as Seaerral appear on stage and I laughed a bit as I heard from the crowd someone shout "You go CC!"

I automatically knew it was B and I saw Connor gripping the back of his shirt so he won't fall off. The girl in blue threw a Pokeball and said "Come on out Luck!"

Out of her Pokeball appeared a Togekiss who spun around in the air and gracefully landed on the field. It wasn't as big as Connor's but it looked tough. She smirked and said "Alright Luck, begin with a Flamethrower and spin!"

The flying type cast a torrent of flames and spun around rapidly creating a giant vortex. The Pokemon soared high above the tornado and said "Now drop with Sky Attack!"

Togekiss spun and descended on the middle of the fire tower and stood gracefully on the ground as the fire's were beautifully scattered and dispersed. The judges clapped along with the cheering crowd and Mian said "Great performance by the Unova Princess! Let's see the score!"

The screen lit up with a 29.5 and everyone cheered. I was surprised since she was just half a point away from perfect. She bowed and disappeared into the halls. I tensed up and readied myself for my turn. Soon enough after most people were done; I was called next as Mian said "Number 24, the Royal Coordinator! Liz Caretrina!"

I sighed and ran to the stage waving my hands. The crowd cheered and I held the ribbon on my head from behind as I saw Connor and Dan waving from the crowd. I sighed and threw a Pokeball as I said "Pidgeotto Shine Bright!"

My flying type Pokemon spun in the air and bowed to the crowd as I said "Pidgeotto use Twister!"

A large tornado appeared on the field and I followed up "Wild Charge around!"

The bird surrounded itself in electricity and coated the tornado in a powerful static field and she went inside as I said "One big finish of Air Slash!"

Her wings glowed white as she swung them once and the storm of lightning vanished with a sparkly rain. The judges nodded and said "A perfect display of power and control,"

The screen lit up with a twenty seven, I sighed but I got tied with several people so I might still get knocked out but I liked my new title thou, Royal Coordinator, for once I'm proud of being royal blood.

The next coordinators went by fast until Dan and Connor went into the waiting area to cheer for me. Dan grinned at me and said "That was awesome Liz!"

Connor nodded and said "Top class as usual,"

I blushed a bit and said "Thanks guys, but Pidgeotto did the work,"

Dan held my hand and said "Keep up the confidence Liz, you'll make it."

Out hand lingered and as his hands slipped away, my hands felt like they were numb. I held my hand and sighed and was about to say something but I mentally slapped myself and said 'Diana Elizabeth! Not the time to act like a lovesick princess! Contest now! Dan Later even if he does look cute, handsome and-'

I stopped my thoughts as the screen lit up and Mian said "And the results are tallied! The next round for the battle round will be these four coordinators!"

My fingers were crossed as Seaerral's face appeared then some girl and then mine! I didn't notice the last one since I was so ecstatic that I made it again! Dan and I held hands and jumped as Connor laughed with his two Pokemon..

I leapt up and down as I said "We did it! We did it!"

Mian pointed once again and said "Here are the match ups!"

Liz Carterina vs Ranen Marth

Seaerral Meetafor vs Cassidy Peloris

Dan smiled and said "Good luck! You can do it Liz!"

I walked to the platform where my opponent stood on the other side. He was a tall guy with brown and black hair, his eyes glinted with amusement and his smile gave me and uneasy feeling. I gave him a small wave and said "Good luck!"

"Sure girly!" replied the guy, "Let's have some fun,"

"Five minutes on the clock! Coordinators choose your Pokemon!" said Mian,

"Squirtle Shine Bright!"

"Ivysaur!"

The two starters appeared on the field glaring at each other as Mian said "Begin!"

"Ivysaur Razor Leaf!"

"Squirlte Aqua Jet!"

Squirtle plowed through the grass type attack and landed a hit on the grass type making their points drop a bit. I smiled as Squirtle grinned and charged as I said "Headbutt with a push from Tail Swipe!"

Squirtle propelled himself forward with his tail and smashed his hea don Ivysaur's causing the grass type to skid back. Squirtle spun around and posed as I jumpe dup and down. Ranen grit his teeth and said "You'll pay for that! Ivysaur use Petal Dance and then chain with Sweet Scent!"

The Ivysaur let out a sweet smell that got Squirtle off guard and he was directly hit with a powerful grass type attack. Squirtle tumbled back and my points dropped to half as Mian said "A powerful display of prowess that appeals to both the eyes and nose! Amazing!"

I mumbled to myself as Squirtle got up and stared at his opponent. Ivysaur growled as Ranen smirked and said "Push onward with Vine Whip to make him dance!"

Vine Whip went forward as Squirtle dodged left and right looking like a fool as my points dropped again. I was getting frustrated but I had to keep my cool. I breathed in and said "Water Pulse and then Ice Beam!"

Squirtle soaked the ground with a Water Pulse that Ivysaur evaded but the ground froze over along with Ivysaur's wet legs causing him to get stuck. I grinned and said "Finish up with on final Skull Bash!"

Squirtle hid inside his shell and shot forward like a missile and crashed his head onto Ivysaur's knocking him unconscious. The judge's tables lit up as Mian said "The winner of this match is Liz Carterina!"

The crowd cheered at my opponent returned his Pokemon and said "Good luck and win this thing."

He left as I waved to the crowd and walked back to the waiting area to be greeted by Dan alone. He grinned at me while Squirtle was greeted by Luke with a handshake. Jordan hopped on my shoulder with his goggles up as Dan said "that was awesome! Keep going princess you're almost there!"

I punched his arm and said "Don't call me princess but thanks, where's Connor?"

Dan nodded and said "Someone called him; he said he would make it for the final round but he said his friend had some information for him so he had to take the call."

My head nodded in reply as we started to watch Seaerral's match. She had her Leafeon out against her opponents' Kabutops. The older Pokemon swiped left and right but to no avail since the Leafeon was too fast.

Seaerral grinned and said "No hits, sorry. Storm push with Magical Leaf!"

Three colorful leaves shot at the Kabutops but the girl said "Cut them down with Slash!"

The Pokemon gracefully cut the leaves in mid air causing her points to tumble but my friend just said "That was cover, Leaf Blade!"

The grass type leapt forward and their blades collided causing some sparks to fly. The crowd gasped as they returned blows and sweat appeared on the trainer's heads. Seaerral sighed and said "Blade swipe form three!"

He Leafeon stopped and became passive as she dodged left and right and when the Kabutops tired out, she smirked and said "Go now! Swipe and smash!"

Leafeon spun and swiped her Leaf Balde across the rock/water type's midsection causing it to fly back and get knocked unconscious. The crowd clapped and cheered as Seaerral stood and waved. I would now be facing her in the finals.

I breathed nervously as Dan put a hand on my shoulder and said "Relax, secret weapon remember?"

"Right," I nodded "Espeon is still ready and she can definitely win this."

He nodded and said "Go get'em Princess,"

I blushed a bit as he let my hand slip away and I walked back to the stage. Seaerral was waiting for me there as she said "Get ready Liz! You may be my friend but I won't go easy on you!"

"Won't count on it!" I replied,

Mian called for the audience and said "It's the final match! It will be the Royal Coordinator Liz Carterina versus the Unova Princess Seaerral Meetafor! Five minutes on the clock! Choose your Pokemon!"

"Princess!"

"Espeon Shine Bright!"

Out of the Pokeballs appeared two Psychic types. One was humanoid with green hair and a gown his it had a red horn sticking out from its chest. Espeon appeared and mewled as the other Pokemon looked at it.

Mian then said "Its Gardevoir versus Espeon! Battle of the Psychic types! Begin!"

Seaerral smirked and said "I see Eevee evolved! Princess use Shadow Ball!"

I smiled and said "Cut through with Psycho Cut and follow up with Power Gem!"

Espeon swung her tail and an arc of purple energy flew towards the black sphere and severed it in half causing her points to drop down. Espeon followed up with a powerful beam from her gem that did some serious damage to Gardevoir.

Seaerral narrowed her eyes and said "She got a way long stronger so let's kick it up a notch, Shadow Ball and follow up with Psybeam!"

The black sphere flew towards Espeon and gave her a direct impact, she got back up and was struck down with a powerful beam of energy that sent her flying.

Mian gasped and said "And just like that Liz's points take a dive!"

My points dropped below Seaerral's as Espeon got back up slowly, our confidence was dropping by the second. I clenched my fist around the ribbon behind my back and said "Espeon get some air with Light Screen and Morning Sun!"

The glowed a bright shade as she healed herself and deflected any attack that came her way. I smiled and said "Okay, follow up with Sand Attack and then use Psychic to blind her!"

The sand blocked the Gardevoir's vision as Seaerral said "Can't see huh, Princess use Shock Wave!"

The humanoid raised her hands and a blue bolt of electricity struck Espeon directly and she crashed against the wall and dropped to the ground breathing heavily. I looked to the crowd where Connor was nodding at me while I saw Dan give me a thumbs up.

I sighed and thought about the training and the tactics I learned. Maybe there was something I could use; I dug into my thoughts until I thought of a familiar plan from my brother Zander. I smirked and said "Perfect, Espeon get back up and use Calm Mind!"

Espeon howled as her stats went us and Seaerral said "Do the same Princess!"

They both got stronger by the second and a powerful pulse of energy echoed through the arena. I checked the clock and it read fifteen seconds.

Seaerral said "Time to finish it! Princess use Hyper Beam!"

My eyes widened as I said "Signal Beam!"

The two super charged attacks collided and our points kept dropping along with the timer. Espeon's beam from her gem glowed brighter as Gardevoir struggled. I gripped the ribbon behind my back and said "Chain with a more powerful move! Zap Cannon!"

Espeon fired a more powerful attack and an explosion ensued. The smoke was thick but when it cleared, Espeon was still standing while Gardevoir had fallen. The crowd cheered as I saw the clock at Zero. I hopped and clapped as Espeon went to my side and Mian handed me the ribbon as she said "The winner of the Lavender Ribbon! Liz Carterina!"

The crowd applauded as Seaerral approached me and said "Well Liz, you have gotten better. Congratulations!"

I smiled and shook her hand as Dan and Connor approached me. I hugged the oth of them and said "Thanks guys!"

Dan smirked and said "No problem Liz,"
