Reviews

Well that is part of the fairies are for. They can get into small places and move about unseen, or at least they can when not going around shouting this like 'HEY LISTEN!'

I do have training in sociology so I have an interest in how cultures can be very different from each other, even if it does freak me out sometimes.

Also why is no one else reviewing this story? Is anyone even reading it aside from you and Takao-kun?

Chapter 32

The Shadow Islands. Fortress.

When Amy and I entered what I guessed to a ballroom of some sort, we both saw that the party was already well under way. It was a more sedate affair than I had expected, but that made sense as there weren't that many people here. That made it easy to grab Amy and I to get a drink, and also we had no problem grabbing some to nibble on the buffet table.

Once that was done I took a proper look around. Not at the room itself, but a the the people in it. There were a few Gym Leaders here as well the Tamers who had made it this far. I could see Misty and Ace, who both little black dresses that didn't cover much. Next to them was the magic using Gym Leader known only as Sabrina and the plant type love called Daisy.

Also Tom was here, but as normal he was keeping to himself and watching everything that was going on. It was as if he expected for us to come under attack at any moment. Which wasn't as odd as it might seem as the last I'd been to a big fancy party it had come under attack by the Sanctuary Goths.

Amy then let go of my hand and then told me she wanted to discuss something with Misty and Ace, no doubt she wanted to talk about our planned trip to the Tamer's Resort, or it could have been something girly she wanted to chat about. Illyria seemed to enjoy playing the role Amy Pond as was embracing a lot of what it meant to be a human woman.

Whatever it was she wanted to talk about with Ace and Misty didn't interest me so I went over to Thomas and he gestured towards something I that I needed to see.

As big as the room was a good percent of it was taken up by a huge stage. But there would be no performance this night as the platform was covered in what I correctly guessed to be prizes that would be handed out to the winners of this tournament. Amy had already gotten a small cash award for getting this far, but the people who had made it the semi-finals had their choice of prizes according to what Thomas told me.

When I got closer to the stage one of the things displayed caught my eye right away was a staff, one clearly meant for a magic user like say a wizard or even a sexy sorceress I knew . It was a tall as I was and was made out a dark wood. On the top of it was glass ball, which upon close inspection turned out to be made of a fine quailty of crystal, that looked like a small globe. On top of that was a bird of some sort, made from some metal, and its claws had a tight grip on the crystal globe.

"Raven would love that" I said to myself.

It was calling out to me. Well to be more precise it was calling out for me to give it to my alpha.

"You can claim it as your prize" a furry pokegirl told me "any one thing on a bronze pedestal can be claimed by a semi-finalist. This staff is a good choice it shrinks down to a sceptre for easy transport, but it only responds to magic types as it comes from the Vale".

The Vale was a magical community that was part of the Crimson League, but also outside of it, politically speaking and sometimes physical if the rumours about the place were true. The Vale produced some of the finest magical items in the world. Raven's spell book came from the Vale and it been extremely expensive to buy, so no doubt this staff was very valuable as well. However before taking anything I was going to check out what else was on offer and see what prizes there were for later.

"Hermione would love that" I heard Porker say as he eyed the staff.

I narrowed my eyes, but he didn't see me glare at him. I now knew that I had no choice as I couldn't let Raven's school rival get a staff that was clearly meant for my alpha.

"I'll take this one" I said to the furry dog like pokegirl "I'll take the staff".

The furry nodded and took the staff off the display.

"It will be delivered to your room" the furry dog like pokegirl told me.

There was now no point me checking out the other bronze level prizes, but I did anyway and then I wished I hadn't acted so soon. There was a lovely crossbow just sitting there on a velvet pillow and another was a treasure map that could have led to a great adventure.

The silver level prizes, that would given out to those who won the next round, were even better than what I'd already seen. There were enchanted pieces of jewellery that any of my pokes would love, and there were also a collection of shiny rocks.

I knew that they were but I didn't know what they all did so I scanned the evolution stones.
