Author's note
Alright here we have chapter 17. I know I said it would follow an original anime episode and it will to an extent, but I'm afraid it may be a bit more of my own creation than the original episode. But I think it's still pretty good.
Also please not that one particular pokemon in this chapter is going to have a move that she normally can't have. However, she has had in an anime of X and y so please don't freak out that "So and so can't use this move" because in retrospect this pokemon should be able to.
Also I'm not quite as proud of the second end of the chapter but try and put up with it I really couldn't think of anywhere else to go with it.

Chapter 17: Beauty and the beach
It was a sunny afternoon in Nummel city and the beach was as beautiful as ever. The glistening of the sunlight off the water made the ocean appear even more beautiful. Dozens of tourists and trainers had come to the beach that day to enjoy the sun and fun; including Ash and the others.
Serena was resting on a towel with all of her pokemon (except Amaura for obvious reasons) resting beside her. Meanwhile Clemont and Bonnie were playing a game of frisbee with their pokemon, while Ash and Red were having a battle.
"Charmeleon use Dragon Claw! Show no mercy!" Red said.
"Show him the power of your Dragon Claw, Charmeleon" Ash said.
Both Charmeleon ran at each other as fast as they could. However, Red's charmeleon stopped abruptly and moved his head to the side as Ash's Charmeleon's claws flew past him. Red's Charmeleon hurled his claws up towards Ash's Charmeleon's chin only to be blocked when Ash's brought up his left claws locking the two Charmeleon's hands together.
"Smack them into his face!" Red shouted. Red's Charmeleon thrust his right hand forward hitting Ash's Charmeleon with both their claws. When Ash's Charmeleon stumbled back a little, Red's Charmeleon quickly took advantage and slashed his opponent across the face with his left claws.
"Charmeleon!" Ash shouted.
"Great work, Charmeleon!" Red said. "Now headbutt it and follow up with Scratch in the form of an uppercut!" Red's Charmeleon rushed towards his opponent and crashed his skull against Ash's Charmeleon's chest. The younger fire lizard released a sharp gasp as the air was forced from his lungs due to the force of the impact only for his open jaws to close with a resounding 'clack' when Red's Charmeleon performed Scratch and struck the lower jaw. The force of the blow sent Ash's Charmeleon skyward.
"Meet it in the air and slam it down on the ground with your tail!" Red ordered. The Charmeleon obeyed his trainer and Ash could only watch in shock as the fire lizard leaped up after his own and performed a front flip.
"CHAR!" Building up the necessary momentum by completing the flip and slammed the rear appendage down on Ash's Charmeleon's skull. Ash's Charmeleon released a grunt of pain before rocketing down to the ground and landed with enough force to crack the ground beneath him.
"Fall after it and attack with Dragon Claw!" Red said.
"Meleon!" Red's Charmeleon held out its claws as he descended and prepared to strike his downed foe, but the blue eyed fire lizard recovered from the impact just in time.
"Roll out of the way!" Ash's Charmeleon rolled on the ground and avoided the strike just in time and a crash was heard as Red's Charmeleon's sharp claws slammed into the earth, creating a small crater as a result. Going with the roll's momentum, Ash's Charmeleon planted his claws on the ground and pushed himself to is feet.
"Ember!" Small fireballs were released from Ash's Charmeleon's jaws and they rocketed towards his foe, but Red's Charmeleon quickly ducked under the first two before leaping over the third. He then spun and his tail reduced the small fireball into mere wisps of fire before jumping over the final one.
"Attack with Scratch!"
"Block it and slam your knee into its gut!" Ash's Charmeleon quickly leaned back, avoiding the uppercut strike from Red's Charmeleon's claws, and grabbed him by the sides of his head and brought the attacking fire lizard's head downwards and raised his knee simultaneously.
"CHAR!" Both Pokemon roared, one out of effort and the other from pain. Ash's Charmeleon's knee slammed into Red's Charmeleon's head and had him stumbling backwards from the dizziness.
"Now hit with your tail and follow up with Dragon Claw!" Ash's Charmeleon spun around and the powerful tail crashed against Red's Charmeleon's side, sending him stumbling to the left before a Dragon Claw attack nailed Red's Charmeleon in the gut. Time seemed to slow down for the two Charmeleon until Red's Charmeleon's body registered the impact and went flying through the air at a rapid pace.
"Dig your claws into the ground and hit it with Flamethrower!" Red's Charmeleon stabbed his claws into the ground and allowed for friction to slow his movement, bringing him to an eventual halt.
"CHARMELEON!" The fire lizard Pokemon unleashed a fast and powerful tongue of red-orange flame from its jaws. Ash and his Charmeleon could only stare in shock at the rapid counterstrike and Ash's Charmeleon was struck in the chest before being sent careening through the air, landing painfully in front of his trainer's feet. Red smirked as he watched his brother's downed Pokemon and that smirk grew when his Charmeleon climbed back to his feet, standing tall with a prideful look on his face.
"Ready to give up, bro?" Red asked cockily, making his fraternal twin grit his teeth.
"Don't give up yet Charmeleon, we're far from beaten." Ash said. Ash's Charmeleon shakily rose to his feet, shaking his head to rid it of the spots in his vision. Once he got up, his eyes snapped open with blazing determination in them and let a puff of smoke out of his nostrils.
"Try Flamethrower as cover a Charmeleon!" Ash said. His Charmeleon quickly opened his mouth and unleashed a jet of fire towards Red's Charmeleon. Red's Charmelon quickly moved out of the way , however, Ash's Charmeleon began moving forward at him and continued unleashing bursts of flame. Red's Charmeleon continued to dodge them, but Ash's Charmeleon kept getting closer.
"Alright hit him with Dragon Claw, Charmeleon! Don't let him put some moves on you!" Red exclaimed. His Charmeleon gathered up his dragon energy and ducked down as another Flamethrower flew over him. When he saw Ash's Charmeleon directly in front of him he leaped forward preparing to slash him across the stomach.
Ash's eyes widened as he realized that his brother's Pokemon had moved much faster than he anticipated and quickly made to counter. "Block it with your own Dragon Claw!"
"Spin on your heel and it with your tail and use Scratch to lower it's guard!" Red ordered.
"Raise your arm to block the tail and dodge the scratch! Follow up with Ember!"
"Aim a headbutt to the stomach and use Dragon Claw!"
"Dragon Claw right back!"
Ash's Charmeleon quickly raised his body into an upright position to avoid the horizontal swipe from Red's own, but then he followed up with an upward vertical strike. However, Ash's Charmeleon blocked it by bringing down his own claws, interlocking the sharp weapons and causing some sparks to form from the friction between the claws. Red's Charmeleon then slammed his forehead against Ash's own to make him slightly dizzy in order to wrench his claws free from the interlocked position before spinning on his heel and lashed out with his tail to strike at the left temple. Ash's Charmeleon quickly recovered however, and blocked the strike by raising his left arm and was sent skidding to the side from the force only for Red's Charmeleon to quickly run after him and attack with Scratch. Ash's Charmeleon quickly sidestepped the Scratch attack and opened his jaws and fired a barrage of small fireballs at Red's Charmeleon, but though he was hit, he powered through the Ember attack and slammed a crushing headbutt against Ash's Charmeleon and sent him skidding backwards.
The two Charmeleon roared at one another and raised their glowing claws and collided with enough force to generate a powerful shockwave. The two Fire-type Pokemon gritted their teeth, growling as they fought for dominance. However, the two were a bit too evenly matched and so they ended up pushing away from each other and skidded along the ground before opening their jaws as wide as they could.
"FLAMETHROWER ATTACK!" Red and Ash ordered simultaneously.
"CHAAAAAR!" The two fire lizards unleashed simultaneous tongues of raging red-orange flame that tore through the air before colliding to form a massive fireball at the point of collision. A shockwave shook the ground and the force of the blast wave had both Pokemon rolling before they managed to climb to their feet.
"Rush forward and attack with Dragon Claw!" Red ordered. Red's Charmeleon nodded and charged through the smoke cloud from the Flamethrower stalemate, but Ash's Charmeleon's sharp senses alerted him to the sneak attack and quickly ducked and weaved around the attacks. However, it was getting taxing as Red's Charmeleon was starting to land a few blows here and there despite the majorit
However, Ash saw that his brother's Charmeleon had overstepped in the process of performing its current Dragon Claw attack, and that was when he struck.
"Charmeleon jump over him and grab him with your tail! Bring him down and then use Dragon Claw!" Ash shouted. His Charmeleon quickly dove up and over Red's Charmeleon. At the last moment Ash's charmeleon grabbed Red's Charmeleon's head with his tail and dragged him onto his back as Ash's Charmeleon landed on the other side of him. Before Red's Charmeleon could get back up he was slashed across the stomach with dragon claw.
"Alright! Sweet moves Charmeleon!"
"Pika Pikachu!" Ash's Charmeleon lowered his hand and helped Red's Charmeleon up.
"Pretty good Ash, your Charmeleon is getting better." Red said.
"Thanks yours too".
Meanwhile as Clemont and Bonnie continued to play catch with a Frisbee. As Bonnie caught it one more time she brought her arm back before hurling it as high and far as she could. Clemont moved backwards as he followed the Frisbee. Unknown to him that his bunnelby and chespin were digging a large hole behind him.
"I've almost got it!" Clemont said just before he fell backwards into the hole.
"Ahh!".
"Clemont!" Bonnie shouted. Bunnelby and Chespin sweatdropped as they saw their trainer fall into their hole.
"Why did you guys dig a hole behind me?" . Bunnelby and Chespin sweatdropped as they raised their hands and shoulders. Serena brushed some sweat off her face as the sun blared down on her.
"It's pretty hot out guys, anyone feel like going in the water" Serena said.
"I wouldn't mind getting some of this sand off me" Clemont said as the got out of the hole.
"I'll race you in" Ash said giving Red a competitive smile.
"Your on little bro" The two brothers sprinted into the water with Serena and the others close behind. Some of the pokemon went into the water with them. Braixen looked at the water and gave an uneasy look. Ash's charmeleon came over beside her.
"Char".
"Braix" She said back as she licked the side of Charmeleon's face. Meanwhile the others were having fun in the waves. Clemont held Bonnie up on his shoulders as water splashed up against them.
"Clemont I can see the clouds from here!" Bonnie said.
"of course you can Bonnie we call can" Clemont started before a large wave hit them and sent Clemont under the water while Bonnie rode on the top of the wave.
"Wow that was fun!" Bonnie said. Clemont came up without his classes on.
"Why does it seem like I'm comedic relief. Wait a minute where are my glasses?". Meanwhile Ash and Pikachu were in a bit of a struggle with Red and his pancham.
"Chicken!" Red shouted. Ash and Red Grabbed each other's arms as they tried to shove each other into the water, while Pikachu and Pancham did the same as they stood on their trainer's heads. Behind them Serena lurked with her Furfrou in her arms.
" Know what you have to do?" Serena said. "Frou" he said smiling.
"Now!" Serena said as she helped lift Frurfrou into the air as he jumped off her arms. As Ash and Red continued their game of chicken Pancham saw Furfrou coming right at them and yelped. The others noticed Furfrou to late and were all the time to the water.
"Ha!" Serena said as she sprinted over towards them. Ash, Red, and their pokemon all came out of the water just in time to see Serena grab Ash by the shoulders and dunk him under the water.
"Poor Ash, then again it's a girl dunking him" He said just before Furfrou came up behind him and pushed him back under water. Ash forced himself back up only to have Serena grab him by the shoulders and kissed him. Ash's face turned red as he went back underwater for a moment. Serena brought her head back up and out of the water laughing a little before she felt Ash's arms wrap around her legs.
"Huh?" Ash came up and out of the water lifting Serena up onto his shoulders.
"Ahh! Ash!". Ash laughed as he held Serena on his shoulders. At first Serena was a little scared but eventually started laughing with Ash as waves brushed up against them. After a minute Ash went back underwater with Serena and came back up with her in his arms. Moments later they both moved their heads towards each other and kissed.
After almost a minute Ash felt something sharp and spiky brush against his leg.
"Ouch, what was that". Moments later Serena also felt something sharp and spiky brush against her bikini bottom.
"Ouch something spiky touched me too" Serena said. They looked over at Chespin who was in a splashing fight with SKitty.
"Alright there is no way it was him" Ash said. Moments later a small pokemon came out of the water in front of Ash and Serena. The pokemon was, pink, and roundish, with branch-like growths on its back.
"Corsa!"
"What pokemon is that? It's so cute" Serena said as Ash let her down.
"I think it's a corsola. It's a rock and water type pokemon". After a moment they realized that the corsola was wearing Clemont's glasses.
"Are those Clemont's?" Serena said.
"Hey my glasses!" Clemont shouted as he ran over towards corsola. When corsola saw him running towards her direction she opened her mouth and blasted him with water gun.
"Hey stop it!" Clemont said as the water crashed into his face and knocked him back until he fell underwater.
"I think she likes your glasses" Red said. Clemont came up and spit some water out of his mouth.
"Come on those are my only pair".
"You really are a cute little pokemon aren't you" Serena said as she got closer. The corsola quickly turned and sprayed her with water gun. When Corsola stopped she saw Serena was drenched in water and laughed a little.
"Ok now I'm going to catch you" Serena said with a hint of anger.
"Uh Serena if you didn't notice we're in the water and we have no water type pokemon. So I suggest we lure her onto land" Red said.
"How?" Serena said.
"I think I've got an idea" Ash said. Without warning Ash snatched the glasses off Corsola.
"Cors!" She shouted angrily as she shot watergun at Ash. Ash moved out of the way and handed the glasses to Serena.
"Get onto land" Ash said. Serena sprinted towards the beach with Corsola in hot pursuit.
"Hey wait give me back my glasses!" Clemont shouted. When Serena reached land she called over towards Braixen who was still cuddled up against Charmeleon.
"Braixen! We've got a pokemon to battle!" She shouted. Braixen sighed as she got up and ran over towards Serena.
" Alright she's water and rock so this won't be easy. Try moving in close and hitting her with tail whip" Serena said. Braixem ran in close as as Corsola opened her mouth and unleashed water gun.
"Save yourself with physic " . Braixem's eyes glowed violet as she used her physic abilities to stop the water in front of her as she moved closer to corsola. Corsola was a little confused why her water gun wasn't working. Once Braixem got close enough she swiped her tail across the ground and across Corsola, not doing any damage, but lowering her defenses.
Corsola yelped a little when she felt Braixen's tail swipe against her. She jumped back and growled at the firefox.
"Cor!" She shouted as the spikes on top of her began to glow and spikes began to shoot out at Braixen.
"Braiken use flame charge and your stick to break the spikes. Once you get close enough use tail whip again" Braixen set herself ablaze as she ran forward. Some of the spikes Braixem avoided, others she used her flame body and stick to break apart as they came at her.
When corsola saw her attacks weren't working she aimed her spikes directly in front of Braixen creaking a cloud of sand in front of Braixen trying to blind her.
"Uh oh" Serena said.
"Serena try pushing the sand away with fire " Ash said.
"Good idea Braixen use firespin" Braixen quickly threw the fire on her body into a twirling cyclone of fire that flew around her dissipating the sand. With the sand gone Braixen saw Corsola right in front of her. With a confident wink she slid across the sand and smacked her tail into Corsola lowering her defenses even more.
"Quickly use physic before she can get away!" . Braixen's eyes glowed blue as she used her physic powers to lift corsola into the. Once Braixen thought Corsola was high enough she hurled her into the sand dealing her immense damage , especially considering Braixen had used tail whip on her twice.
"Serena catch!" Ash shouted as he threw her a pokeball from his bag. Serena caught the pokeball and threw it at Corsola who was trying to catch her breath. The poke ball hit Corsola sending her inside. Serena and the others watched closely as the pokeball shook and flashed red.
"Come on, come on" Serena said. After 45 more seconds the ball sparkled and stopped shaking.
"Alright I caught her!" Serena said.
"Great job Serena" Ash said.
"Thanks Ash, and thanks for the help I can always count on you" She said before giving him a short kiss.
"You did great Braixen, she didn't even deal you any damage" Serena said. Braixen smiled as she looked over at Ash's charmeleon who gave her a congratulatory growl.
"Uh nice job Serena but can I please have my glasses back" Clemont said.
"Oh right sorry" Serena said as she handed Clemont her glasses back.
"Well at least I won't have to clean them for a while" Clemont said as he put his glasses back on.
"You know we should probably try and get water pokemon too Ash . They could come in handy" Red said. When the rest of the pokemon came out of the water Bonnie noticed that her Skitty was looking a little sick.
"Huh Skitty are you alright?" She said as she picked her up.
"Skit skitty" Skitty said before puking a little into the sand.
"Ahh! Guys my skitty is sick!" Bonnie shouted.
"What!? Oh no!" Clemont said. Red walked over and put his hand on her head.
"She's burning up, we need to get her to a pokemon center and quick". They were about to head off the beach when an older looking man came in front of them. He was relatively tall with green eyes and a white beard.
"Pardon us but we need to get to the pokemon center!" Clemont shouted. The man saw Skitty and gave a concerned look.
"Is there something wrong with your Skitty?" The man said.
"We don't know that's why we need to get her to a pokemon center" Bonnie said.
"I'm a former pokemon doctor I could take a look at her" He said. Bonnie handed Skitty to the man who felt her head and looked closer at her.
"I've seen sickness like that before. She's been poisoned by a Binacle, how old is she?" The man said
"She's very young why?" Bonnie asked.
"Then she doesn't have time to go to the pokemon center. She has to be treated right now. I have a shack nearby follow me" The man said. The group was a little confused but followed the man to a small shack on the beach. Inside the man had shelves full of medicines and herbs stacked up against each other.
"Thanks for helping Skitty and all but who are you?" Serena asked as the man reached on the shelves for some herbs and medicine. When he picked up two jars he turned back towards them.
"My name is Moe" he said as he started mixing the medicines and herbs. He extended he hand out towards Bonnie. Reluctantly Bonnie handed her Skitty to Moe. Moe sat down and poured some of the medicine into her mouth. A few moments later Skitty began to look healthier.
She smiled and looked up at Bonnie "SKitty!"She said.
"Skitty!" Bonnie said as she took her Pokémon and held her close to her head.
"Thanks for saving Skitty" Bonnie said.
"it's no problem, I've always loved helping pokemon" Moe said.
"so that's why you became a doctor" Clemont said.
"It is, many years ago I always dreamed of traveling the world and helping pokemon everywhere. When I was young I was accepted into the Kalos Army officer Academy and studied to become a doctor. When I graduated I was assigned to the disaster relief division. I spent the rest of my military career helping pokemon after natural disasters".
"That sounds amazing" Red said.
"It was amazing helping so many pokemon. But after I finished my service in the Army I had another idea. To buy myself a boat and travel the world helping pokemon".
"A very noble dream. But why haven't you done it yet".
"Well after my wife gave birth to our last son she became very sick. I had to spend most of my time and money taking care of her. But it was no use ,eventually she passed away".
"Oh I'm so sorry" Ash said.
"After that I had to raise my three children alone. Pay for their college, well except for James , he was accepted into the army officer academy. But the point is I couldn't afford it even on a doctor's salary. But since they've all gotten jobs they've tried to help me get the boat since they know it's my dream".
"Are you close?" Serena asked.
"I'm only $10,000 away".
"Well , ten thousand" Clemont said unenthusiastically.
"I know it seems like a lot but I know I can make it before I get too old, I just know it".
"Maybe there's something we can do to help you" Ash said.
"That's very kind of you, but I'm not sure you'll be able to raise $10,000" Moe said.
"We can try!" Red said.
"Well , I'm open for ideas" Clemont said.
"Maybe if we look a round a little something will come up " Bonnie said. The group left the shack and looked around the beach for a while. After 15 minutes they came across two young women handing out flyers.
"Come and compete in the Nummel city beach beauty contest!" One of them said.
"Beauty contest?" Ash said.
"Oh yes , it's a new thing here. Young women can compete in a contest of beauty and style for a girl and her pokemon. The winner recessives a glorious prize".
"Wait a minute you mean people come to see a bunch of girls try to find out who's the prettiest?" Red said.
"That doesn't seem right, it's what's on the inside that counts. It's demeaning for these girls to try to prove who's prettier. It would be one thing if it was for girls to show their strengths as trainers, but this is just encouraging girls not to do anything but try to impress people with their looks. A person should be judged by who they are on the inside" Ash said.
Serena's face was turned completely red after she heard what Ash said. She kissed him on the cheek.
"Well, the winner does receive a prize of $10,000" One of the girls said. Everyone in the group mouth's dropped.
"$10,000!" Moe almost shouted.
"With that money we could help Moe pay for his boat!" Bonnie said.
"If I entered I could try and win" Serena said.
"Oh no Serena I couldn't bet you to do that" Moe said.
"I don't mind. Besides I think Braixen wouldn't mind showing how pretty she is" Serena said. Ash didn't like the idea of Serena entering a beauty contest. But if she really wanted to not like he could stop her.
"Well Serena, I'm not such a fan of you entering a beauty contest. But who am I to tell you not to. Besides you're very beautiful. I can't think of anyone else who could beat you" Ash said. Both Ash and Serena started to blush.
"I'd like to enter" Serena said.
"Very well follow us" One of the girls said. They lead them to a stage with a few bleachers set up around them.
"The contest begins in 20 minutes, be backstage in 15" one of the girls said.
"This is exciting, isn't it Braixen" Serena said.
"Braix!" She said.
"Well well well, look whose here" An all too familiar voice to Ash and Red said. The two brothers grit their teeth and raised their shoulders as they slowly turned around to see Gary with 6 girls standing around him.
"Gary what are you doing in Kalos?" Ash said.
"My grandpa told me he was visiting professor Sycamore and offered to let me come here. I thought it would be a good opportunity to catch some rare Pokémon, and now to win $10,000".
"Who are these girls?" Red said.
"My fan club" , "Gary , Gary, he's the best , he'll beat you and all the rest" They said together.
"He has a fan club?" Clemont said sweatdropping.
"Who are these guys, new friends of yours".
"Wait a minute is this the Gary you said you've always been rivals with?" Serena said.
"Don't you remember him, he was at camp with us" Ash said.
"Wait was he was that boy who you were always getting into competitions with wasn't he" Serena said
''Hey wait you're the girl who was always hanging out with Ash and blushing around him" Gary said.
" Well we're dating now" Ash said.
"Hold on you have a girlfriend!" Gary laughed. Serena and Ash both glared at Gary.
"Ha right, well I've got a contest to win. " Gary said as he walked off with his fans.
"He's certainly got self confidence " Clemont said.
"I look forward to beating his little minions" Serena said. When the contest began girls came out one at a time on the catwalk with their pokemon. When they reached the end of the catwalk they would pose with their Pokémon as the crowd cheered.
Eventually it was Serena's turn; she walked out to the center of the catwalk with Braixen next to her. Ash's charmeleon smiled and let out an admiring growl as Braixen took a pose. Red noticed Ash seemed a little uneasy. But he understood why, seeing his girlfriend posing off in a bikini in front of a crowd of people.
"It's alright Ash, look at it this way. Serena isn't ashamed of herself and has a strong sense of confidence in herself. There's nothing wrong with lover herself".
"Eh, maybe your right. I suppose I should get over it". After Serena left the catwalk each member of Gary's fan club came up with one of his pokemon.
"Can he really have all those girls compete for him?" Clemont said.
"Apparently" Red said. After all of the girls came up the contest overseer was standing in front of all the contestants on the stage.
"We have many beautiful contestants but only 2 will move on to the final stage. The battle stage".
"Battle stage?" Gary said.
"Alright that's more like it" Ash said.
"The two contestants are Serena and Cathy". One of Gary's fans , Cathy looked nervous.
"But I don't have any Pokémon".
"Alright I'll just let you use my staryu" Gary said.
"This is going to be great. Let's beat her Braixen" Serena said.
"Braix!". Serena stood on one end of the stage with Braixen, while Cathy stood on the other end with Gary's Staryu.
"Let the match begin".
"Um oh Staryu use uh watergun" Cathy said.
"Braixen use psychic on the water then hit him with tail whip". Braixen smiled as her eyes began to glow blue as the water in front of her stopped dead in its tracks. Braixen continued to do this until she was close enough then smacked her tail across Staryu.
" Uh oh uh, Staryu try rapid spin".
"Braixen duck ". Braixen prepared herself as Staryu spun at her. Braixen ducked down as Staryu flew over her. Staryu immediately turned around and flew back at Braixen.
"Jump then swat him into the ground with another tail whip", Braaiixen jumped clean over Staryu then quickly smacked her tail into Staryu's back hurling the starfish Pokémon into the ground.
"Oh no, what do I do now?" Cathy said.
"use recover!" Gary shouted.
"Ok staryu use recover".
"No you don't Braixen use howl" Braixen sprinted up as close to Staryu as she could get then howled in his face increasing her attack and frightening Staryu out of using his attack.
"What he flinched?" Gary said.
"Perfect now use psychic" Braixen's eyes glowed blue as she telekinetic later lifted staryu into the air then crashed him into the ground. When the dust cleared Staryu was unconscious.
"Staryu is unable to battle the winner is Serena and her Braixen".
"We did it ! We won!" Serena shouted as she hugged her Braixen.
"I'm so proud of her" Ash said. "Char" ,"PIka pikachu".
"I looks like you'll be living your dream Moe" Red said. After the contest officials gave Serena the check she gave it to Moe.
"I can't thank you kids enough. I finally get to travel the world and heal so many sick pokemon".
"Your dream is very noble Moe, I hope it's everything you want it to be" Red said.
"Yeah live your dream!" Serena said.
"Have a great time" Ash said.
"Thanks again for helping Skitty" Bonnie said. After Moe off to finalize his purchase Ash and the others ran into Gary again.
"Well your girlfriend is a decent trainer Ash .But I suggest you steer clear of me unless you want to end up facing a true master" Gary said.
"I'm really scared" Ash said sarcastically , "Pika" Pikachu said agreeing with him.
"Well until next time Ashy boy" Gary said as he walked off with his fans.
"What an arrogant trainer" Serena said.
"Well I just can't wait to get a chance to beat him" Ash said.
Alright the beauty contest was a little shorter than it was in the anime but I didn't really want to drag it on for too long. Also I've included Gary in this. The reason is so far in X and Y Ash doesn't have a rival so far so why not give him his original rival.
Gary will appear in a few more chapters from time to time. Also I will try and tone down on bad things happening to Clemont. I just realized I may have made him the squidward of this story in some places. But in any case please review, suggest, comment, or question.
