Serena, meet Dawn

"LUXRAY USE WILD CHARGE!"Clemont and Ash were practicing using Buizel against Luxray. Luxray roared and began to run covered in Electricity making the Sea Weasel Pokemon smile.

"Bui."

"Got it. Let's try that new move of yours. BUIZEL USE ICE BEAM ON THE GROUND!"

"Bui...BUI!"Buizel unleashed the bright blue beam at the ground in front of Luxray making him stop the Wild Charge and slip."Bui,Bui."Buizel began to tease Luxray angering him.

"LUX..."

"Bui."He pulled his bottom eyelid down and stuck his tongue out making electricity surround the Gleam Eyes Pokemon.

"LUXRAY!"

"LUXRAY USE ELECTRIC TERRAIN THEN USE THUNDER FANG!"

"Buizel use Ice Beam then go into it with Aqua Jet!"Clemont, Serena, and Bonnie were shocked seeing Buizel shoot an Ice Beam at Luxray but go into it using Aqua Jet freezing the water around him. It hit Luxray hard making him barely keep his balance. Before Clemont could order an attack, Luxray fell unconscious.

"Bui!"

"Nice job Buizel."

"Bui."

"If it wasn't for me you wouldn't know how to do that."The small group turned to see a familiar Bluenette coordinator watching.

"DAWN!"

"Hi Ash."

"Dawn?"Serena looked confused and jealous watching the two hug each other making Bonnie notice this.

"Well someone's jealous."

"Everyone meet Dawn, a friend of mine from Sinnoh."

"Hi my name's Clemont."

"I'm Bonnie."

"My name's Serena."

"Hi there."

"What are you doing here?"

"I saw your win and your challenge for the Elite Four and figured you might need my help with some practice."

"I think he has enough."Everybody but Bonnie didn't hear what Serena said making her snicker.

"So what are you Dawn a trainer?"

"I'm a Coordinator."

"What's a Coordinator?"

"We compete in Pokemon contests. We show off their beauty by making amazing performances using their attacks."

"Not that different from a Pokemon Performer."Serena's jealousy was growing and growing seeing Ash smile at Dawn.

"But if we qualify past the first round we compete in battles where if you knock out your opponent, take out their bar, or time runs out and your bar is higher, you win. Landing a hit or making beautiful spectacles takes down the bar. If you win the contest you get a contest ribbon and if you have five, you go to the Grand Festival and if you win there, you get the honor of being Top Coordinator."

"Really? That sounds fun."

"It is."

"I can't wait to compete in one."

"They're really fun, so what are you guys?"

"My brother's the Lumiose Gym Leader."Before Clemont could answer, Bonnie beat him to the point making him sigh and Dawn smile."And Serena's a Pokemon Performer. They compete in Pokemon Showcases like Contests but they don't battle. How do you get past the first round?"

"Well you can use two Pokemon to combine their moves and you can also use these as well."Dawn reached into her bag and pulled out a Ball Capsule and put a Pokeball in it."They're called Ball Capsule, they work great with these seals."She pulled out a seal and put it on the Capsule and threw the ball up."Come on out!"The ball opened up making Buneary appear surrounded by Stars.

"Buuuneary!"

"Wow hi Buneary."Ash waved at Buneary making her smile before she noticed Pikachu at Ash's leg.

"Bun Buuun."She began to hug the Electric Mouse making Ash and Dawn smile.

"Still has a crush on Pikachu huh?"

"That's adorable."


"Let's see how strong you really are Ash."Dawn and Ash were preparing themselves for a battle while Clemont was ready to referee.

"The 2-on-2 battle between Ash and Dawn is about to begin. Both trainers are allowed to switch Pokemon. Battle...BEGIN!"

"TOGEKISS SPOTLIGHT!"

"SCEPTILE I CHOOSE YOU!"Both of them threw their Pokeballs making Sceptile and Togekiss appear ready to fight.

"Toge."

"SCEP...TILE!"

"Sceptile use Bullet Seed!"Sceptile heard Ash's order and began to shoot green seeds at Togekiss.

"Togekiss dodge by flying up!"The three watching looked seeing Togekiss fly up so fast they barely saw her, only the Bullet Seed missing."Now use Air Slash!"

"Toge...Kiss!"Sceptile roared in pain after Togekiss shot saw blade shaped gusts of wind at him.

"Why would Ash use Sceptile? Charizard would be the best to use, so would Pikachu."Serena looked confused and worried as Sceptile could barely stand.

"Serena no need to worry, I've known him for a long time and he knows what he's doing."

"ALRIGHT SCEPTILE USE SUNNY DAY!"They all covered their eyes as the sun got brighter making Togekiss miss an Air Slash."Use Synthesis! Then use Solar Beam!"Sceptile smirked as all his scratches disappeared while he began to glow green. He then shot a quickly charged Solar Beam at the blinded Togekiss hitting her head on making her fall on the ground hard.

"Togekiss!"

"kiiisss."The dust left for everyone especially Dawn to see Togekiss with swirls in her eyes.

"Togekiss is unable to battle! Sceptile is the winner!"

"Great job Sceptile take a good rest."

"You too Togekiss."The two returned their Pokemon before grabbing another Pokeball."Time to get serious. PIPLUP SPOTLIGHT!"

"SQUIRTLE I CHOOSE YOU!"

"Piplup!"

"Squirtle!"

"A battle of the Water types."

"And not only that, it seems like they've spent enough time with their trainers to be really strong."

"So I finally meet that Squirtle May told me about."

'MAY?!'Serena's face became beet red out of jealousy thinking about May.

"So you did meet up with her in Hoenn after all?"

"Of course I did, she is from there after all. PIPLUP USE ICE BEAM!"

"SQUIRTLE USE WITHDRAW!"Squirtle withdrew inside his shell as the Ice Beam hit him freezing only his shell."Squirtle can you hear me?"

"Squirtle-Squirt."

"GREAT! USE RAPID SPIN!"Piplup was surprised watching the frozen shell spin and hit him to break the ice. Literally."FOLLOW UP WITH WATER GUN!"

"USE HYDRO PUMP!"Squirtle and Piplup jumped back after their attacks connected making rain like drops of water go everywhere making Bonnie and Serena laugh."USE WHIRLPOOL!"

"PIIIIIIIIIP...LUUUUUUP!"Piplup formed a whirlpool over his head and threw it at Squirtle making Ash smirk.

"Jump inside it and use Rapid Spin!"The Tiny Turtle Pokemon nodded and jumped into the attack and began to spin inside his shell around and around it until he reached the center."NOW SLINGSHOT OUT OF IT AND USE SKULL BASH!"He flew out of the whirlpool and went faster than they could think and popped his head out of his shell and bashed it on Piplup making him begin to see Fletchlings fly above his head.

"Piiiip..."He fell over with swirls in his eyes while Squirtle was holding his head in pain.

"Piplup is unable to battle! Squirtle wins! And that means the victor is Ash!"

"Yes!"

"You alright Piplup?"Dawn picked up Piplup making him nod weakly.

"That was fun."


"So Ash did you figure out who you're going to battle first?"The group sat in the Pokemon Center cafeteria eating with Piplup having a bandage around his head.

"Yeah, Malva."

"Malva's a Fire Type Genius are you insane?"

"Calm down Serena, she said we're going to battle in Kiloude City, same with Siebold, Wikstrom, and Drasna. That gives me enough time to get ready to battle her."

"Yeah no need to worry. Oh Ash you won't believe who I saw at the Airport."

"Who Gary?"

"The Poetry man's grandson? No it was..."

"Ketchum! Did you think you were going to escape from a rematch?"Ash choked on his food seeing Paul enter the Pokemon Center.
