"There it is!" Rukia said. Orihime was excited and ran up ahead as they could see their destination.

"We're here! The Ultimate Talent Star!" Orihime said as she they all saw the stadium and the festival for the Ultimate Talent Star.

Our heroes have finally arrived in Silvario Valley, sight of the Ultimate Talent Star. After months of training and the hard fought battles, Orihime has finally arrived so she can win it and become the Ultimate Show-woman.

Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable
Walking down this endless highway
With nothing but my friends beside me
We'll never give in, we'll never rest
Advanced Battle is the ultimate test
From the earth, the land
The sea and sky
They can never win, but they sure can try
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable
Pokémon
(Advanced Battle!)
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm undefeatable
From the stars and the ancient past
They come to play, but they'll never last
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable
Pokémon
(Advanced Battle!)
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm undefeatable
Oh oh oh
(Advanced Battle!)
I'm unbeatable

(Orihime's voice) Round One of Dreams

All of them made it to the main area and they could see preparations have been almost completed. Orihime was finding it all hard to believe that she actually was here.

"It all looks so beautiful here." Orihime said.

"Let's hold off on the sightseeing." Ichigo said. "We still need to get you registered so you actually can compete."

"He's right, Orihime. We need to make sure that you're all set and ready for this." Rukia said. Orihime could see their point. She came so far and she can't just let it all slip from her.

….

Registration Office

They all headed over to the registration so she can compete.

"Excuse me, but I need to register for the competition." Orihime said.

"Of course." The receptionist said. "I just need the four medals you've won." Orihime held them out and the receptionist scanned all four of them. While her registration was processing, a surprise guest came in the room. "You're all set, Orihime. Here you go." She handed Orihime over a book. "This is the official rulebook for the tournament. I recommend looking it over and get familiar with the rules if this is your first time competing."

"Thank you." Orihime said as she was getting more and more giddy.

"So far so good." Chad said.

"You excited? This is going to be your biggest competition yet." Ichigo said.

"I know. I'm actually pretty nervous." Orihime said.

"It's okay. We know you're going to do fine." Rukia said.

"Hey!"

"Give that back!" All of them heard some sort of commotion. All of them looked and saw a Weavile running around and swiping random stuff like hats and accessories. Weavile took slight amusement in it as it he juggled them around.

"Hold on. You're the same Weavile from before, aren't you?" Ichigo said. "Weavile, give that stuff back right now."

"Weavile!" Weavile tossed it all into the air and people went nuts trying to get their stuff back. Weavile used the commotion and grabbed Ichigo's mega ring again.

"Hey! Absol, get that Weavile!" Ichigo said.

"Absol!" Absol chased after Weavile to get that ring back. With all the commotion going on, Rangiku was close by and saw what was going on.

"Delcatty, how about you help out and stop that Weavile." Rangiku said.

"Delcatty!" Delcatty ran ahead and cut Weavile off and caught Weavile by surprise. Delcatty smacked Weavile with its tail and knocked Weavile off his feet and Ichigo was able to grab him.

"Weavile, you need to calm down." Ichigo said as he took back his ring. "I thought you were over this whole stealing thing. Why are you even here?" Weavile didn't answer. He just jumped off of Ichigo and ran off. "What's up with that pokemon?"

"Rangiku!" Orihime said as she came over to them.

"Hey, guys. It's great to see you, but what was with that Weavile?" Rangiku asked.

"That's the million dollar question." Ichigo said.

"So Orihime, have you registered? Are you in?" Rangiku asked.

"I am. I managed to get all four medals." Orihime said.

"That's great." All of them looked to the side and saw Momo.

"Momo! It's been so long!" Orihime said.

"It's great to see you again, Orihime." Momo said.

"So it looks like all three them have made it." Chad said.

"Momo, this is Rangiku. She's the one that helped me through my first talent star." Orihime introduced.

"I've heard a lot about you. You're really good." Momo said.

"I've heard a couple performances of yours. It's nice to meet you." Rangiku said.

"Orihime, I think we should watch out for this one. She seems like the favorite around here." Momo whispered.

"Of course, you just don't know her like I do." All of them saw one more was there. This time, it was a man with black hair and had extensions on his lashes and brow. He wore a lavender top with black pants and next to him was a Golduck.

"Yumichika." Rangiku said.

"It's been a long time, hasn't it?" Yumichika said. "I'm glad to see you here. It will be great if we get to go against each other." He left them like that and left the rest wondering who he was.

"You knew him?" Ichigo asked.

"Yeah. If you think I'm tough, you should see him." Rangiku said. "We met at the first talent star we competed in. I was completely outmatched."

"He beat you?!" Orihime said.

"Yeah. You better watch yourselves with him." Rangiku said. Orihime knew this wouldn't be easy, but knowing there's all these fierce competitors, it's going to be harder than she thought.

…..

The Hotel

With Orihim registered, she was given a hotel she and her friends would stay in until the tournament ends.

"Man. I don't think I've ever been in some place so fancy." Ichigo said.

"It's nice." Chad said.

"Hey, Orihime. I looked over a few things like the rules I think you should know." Rukia said as she worked on the computer and Orihime was listening. "For one, instead of using one pokemon, you're using as many as you want in the first round."

"As many?!" Ichigo said. "I guess that means you have to give double the effort you usually do."

"Yeah and if you make it through there, it's a double battle. The odds are pretty stacked against you though. Hundreds are competing, but only thirty-two can go on." Rukia said.

"Only thirty-two out of hundreds?!" Orihime said as she was starting to doubt herself. "Oh man. This is more troubling than I thought."

"Don't start doubting yourself. You're going to do just fine." Ichigo encouraged.

"Orihime, I've also looked up that guy Rangiku told us about." Rukia said.

"You mean Yumichika?" Orihime asked.

"Yeah and she was right. This guy is good." Rukia said. "All his pokemon are that of beauty and grace. His most effective ones are Golduck and Serperior. Out of all your competitors, he might be your most challenging."

"Stop scaring her. Our girl is going to do fine." Ichigo said.

"He's right. We know you're going to do just fine." Chad said.

"Thank you, guys." Orihime said. It is reassuring having her friends here with her, but she still wonders if she's really ready for this.

…..

The Next Day

"The time has finally come." Varon announced to all as the time for the Ultimate Talent Star has come. "The Ultimate Talent Star is here and we're all excited. Showmen and show-women have gathered here by earning four medals and earning a spot here. We're all proud of them for making it this far. Now the time has come to see who will stand at the top." Everyone was really excited for this to begin.

"Look at the crowd!" Chad said as he saw hundreds upon hundreds of people.

"What did you expect? This is a big event." Rukia said, but noticed someone was missing. "Where could Ichigo be? He better hurry up."

"Those who are competing, will have the use of any pokemon they desire to give off the best performance and the score will be out of one-hundred." Varon said. "I wish them all luck so we can begin!" All those who were competing used pokemon from about one up to all six and all the performances were amazing and overwhelming to some. Soon Rangiku's turn came up.

"Butterfree and Gothorita, let's go." Rangiku said.

"Bree!"

"Gothorita!"

"Let's do this my beauties. Gothoria use Telekinesis and Butterfree use Quiver Dance." Rangiku said. Gothroita was glowing green and lifted itself off the ground and twirled in the air. Butterfree used Quiver Dance and danced around Gothroita. "Now use String Shot, Butterfree." Butterfree shot out a string from its mouth and connected it to opposite ends of the wall high in the air. Gothorita placed itself on the string and was keeping itself balanced.

"Amazing. Gothorita is keeping itself balanced on such a thin line." Varon said and everyone kept their eyes on it. Gothorita walked on the string like a tight rope.

"Shake it up with Silver Wind, Butterfree." Rangiku said. Butterfree unleashed the attack and it tried to shake it around, but Gothorita was able to keep going despite the tremors.

"Amazing. Simply amazing. What do our judges say?" Varon said. Rangiku's score dialed and it appeared to be ninety.

"Rangiku's got game." Chad said.

"You can say that again." Rukia said.

"Our next lovely contestant is Momo!" Varon said. Momo came running out and she was really excited for this.

"Plusle and Minun, it's your time to shine." Momo said.

"Plusle!"

"Minun!"

"Let's do this you two." Momo said. "Plusle and Minun use Helping Hand." Both of them had their hands glittered and they shook them around like pom-poms and gave each other energy. "Now use a combo of Spark and Thunder Wave." Both of them had electrical auras around them and shot it out. The two of them ran around the field and soon charged at each other. The two collided and send electricity around and formed a plus and minus.

"Now that is a wonderful way to display the codependence of Plusle and Minun. Judges?" Varon said. Her scored dialed up and it ended up being eighty-eight.

"They're all doing well." Chad said.

"Where's Ichigo? He's missing everything." Ichigo said.

…

Ichigo

Weavile managed to take Ichigo's mega ring again and Ichigo was doing what he could to get it back. Ichigo tried jumping for his ring while Weavile was in a tree, but Weavile kept it away.

"Come on. Orihime will be up any moment and I have to be there for her." Ichigo said, but Weavile was finding this amusing. "You asked for it. Absol use Razor Wind."

"Absol!" Absol unleashed the attack and Weavile got hit hard with him getting his ring back.

"So long." Ichigo said and he and Absol ran back to the stadium.

…

The Stadium

Yumichika took his turn, wearing a royalty looking suit, and was giving off an unbelievable with his famous Golduck and Serperior. Serperior used Frenzy Plant and Golduck was moving from one vine to the other.

"Now use Leaf Storm and Hydro Pump." Yumichika said. Golduck was launched into the air and over Serperior. Serperior slithered in circles and the two of them attacked and the two attacks collided. The collision of the two caused the two pokemon to glow like gems.

"That is such a beautiful sight. Judges?" Varon said. Yumichika's score dialed up and it was perfect score.

"No way!" Rukia said.

"How did he manage that?" Chad said.

"No wonder Rangiku was cautious about this guy." Rukia said.

….

Orihime

Orihime watched his performance and could not believe what she saw. He did better than Rangiku and Rangiku is Orihime's toughest rival.

"He's so good." Orihime said as she was getting nervous, but she knew she needed to stay brave for her pokemon if she's going to have them do her best. "I won't let it get to me. I'll battle on." It's going to take everything Orihime has if she's going to win this.

The Ultimate Talent Star has finally arrived, but Orihime has strong rivals to defeat. Who will win it all and walkaway as the winner. The only way to know is to stay tune to find out.
