Episode 142: The Poké Maiden Tournament Part 2
Last time, Sora, Kairi, Karen, Tracey, Sakura, Pikachu, Angel, Blossom, Togepi, and the Pichu arrived to a town after wondering the desert after leaving Ecruteak City and started to make their way towards Olivine City.
Kairi registered for the Poké Maiden Tournament and met one competitor named Crimson whom the other girls had a dislike for since she was full of herself. Kairi has managed to win the battles that was thrown at her and now she's making her way into the semi-finals.
Now Kairi has entered the semi-finals of the Poké Maiden Tournament and she was up against a girl named Aoi; she has long black hair and she wore a pink kimono with white strawberries on it. She was going on after Crimson who has easily beaten her opponent with her Dragonair.
"The semi-finals of the Poké Maiden Tournament shall continue on with Kairi from Pallet Town being up against Aoi from Ecruteak City!" The announcer announced. Kairi and Angel had entered the stadium along with Sora, Pikachu, and the Pichu. Aoi had entered the battlefield as well.
"I know you can do this, Kairi. I believe in you," Sora said. That made Kairi smile hearing her boyfriend say that.
"Thank you, Sora. I dedicated all the other battles to you," Kairi said. That made Sora happy to hear that.
"Go get 'em," Sora said.
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
"Thanks! I will!" Kairi said. She turned to Angel. "Are you ready, Angel?" Kairi asked.
"Eevee!" Angel said.
Kairi got into position for battle the same for Aoi. Kairi could tell how tough her opponent is judging how far she came despite that innocent appearance of hers.
"This girl is very good," Aoi said in her thoughts. "She has to be if she's made it this far. I have to take her out if I'm going to have my battle with Crimson."
"Begin the battle!" The referee called out. Aoi chose her first Pokéball and threw it.
"Go forth, Scizor!" Aoi called out. The Pokéball opens and lets out a Scizor; this one has a large abdomen. Kairi took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Go! Quilava!" Kairi called out as Quilava had entered the battle.
"Kairi starts things up with her Quilava while Aoi has sent out Scizor! Kairi has really done her homework when it comes to types, but will it be enough?" The announcer asked.
"Scizor! Steel Wing, let's go!" Aoi ordered. Scizor flew towards Quilava with its wings metalized.
"Quilava! Dodge and use Flamethrower!" Kairi called out. Quilava moves out of the way and fires Flamethrower right at Scizor.
"Use Swords Dance!" Aoi ordered. Scizor moved its pincers around as they were swords and it cuts through Flamethrower. "Now use Bullet Punch!" Scizor darted like a rocket and landed a series of punches on the Volcano Pokémon.
"Quilava's Flamethrower has been cancelled out with Swords Dance and followed by a barrage of Bullet Punch! Kairi will have to think of something fast!" The announcer announced.
"Flame Wheel!" Kairi ordered. Quilava jumped foward and curls into a ball gave and Scizor a burning plow.
"Double Team!" Aoi ordered. Scizor made several images of itself. "Bullet Punch!" Scizor and the clones launched their attacks on Quilava and she goes flying in the air.
Scizor and the copies quickly got the better of him as Quilava was having a hard time trying to tell the real one from the fakes.
"Scizor and the copies are really giving Quilava a run for its money! Kairi needs to think of something fast or else they'll be putting out its fire!" The announcer announced. Kairi thought of what to do.
"Quilava! Focus and you can find the real Scizor! And fire Flamethrower when you find her!" Kairi called out. Quilava nodded and shut his eyes. She focuses on finding the real Scizor. They all circle around Quilava and when she found the real Scizor, he fired Flamethrower hitting her with a strong fire attack. All the copies all disappear. "Now use Flame Wheel!" Quilava rolls into a fireball and lands a hit on Scizor, knocking her out.
"Scizor is unable to battle! Quilava wins!" The referee announced.
"Quilava has come out on top and Kairi has once again took an early lead! Aoi will have to think fast if she wants to stay in this tournament!" The announcer announced. Aoi calls back her Scizor.
"Very impressive, Kairi. But my next one won't be so easy!" Aoi said taking out another Pokéball and threw it. "Go for it, Chinchou!" The Pokéball opens and reveals a small, piscine Pokémonwith a round, blue body. It has large yellow eyes with pupils shaped like plus signs, a pair of semi-transparent, light blue pectoral fins, and stubby feet. Positioned on its rear, where its tail would be, are a pair of antennae that curve up and over its head. The antennae developed from fins and have yellow, teardrop-shaped orbs at the tips. Kairi took out her Pokédex and scanned the Pokémon.
Chinchou, the Angler Pokémon
Type: Water/Electric
Chinchou lets loose positive and negative electrical charges from its two antennas to make its prey faint. This Pokémon flashes its electric lights to exchange signals with others.
"A Water-type and an Electric-type. That's gotta be a tough combo to handle," Kairi said putting her Pokédex away.
"I know you can do it, Kairi. Don't get overwhelmed," Sora said. Kairi nodded.
"Aoi has sent out her Chinchou! This Pokémon really has an advantage when it comes to Type this time! I wonder how Kairi will respond to this?" The announcer announced. Kairi pulls out Quilava's Pokéball and calls him back.
"Better go with this," Kairi said, taking out her next Pokéball. "Go! Skiploom!" The Pokéball opens and lets out Skiploom.
"And Kairi has sent out her Skiploom to deal with Chinchou! Skiploom's a Grass-type, so it shall be no problem!" The announcer announced.
"Skiploom! Start up with Bullet Seed!" Kairi ordered. Skiploom spits out seeds and they head right for Chinchou very quickly. Aoi wasn't going to have that.
"Chinchou! Dodge it! Use your antennae to jump!" Aoi jumped out of the way before the seeds could hit Chinchou. Kairi wasn't expecting that. "Now use Ion Deluge!" Chinchou's body becomes surrounded in blue static electricity that illuminates the battlefield. "Now use Take Down!" Chinchou charges towards Skiploom with static electricity emitting from its body.
"Using Ion Deluge has turned that Take Down into an Electric-type move and it's giving Skiploom a real hard time! Skiploom won't be able to skip its way out of this!" The announcer announced.
"Okay Kairi. Think. You need to think of something fast. Can't land a hit on Chinchou because she will only dodge it again. Unless you get her in a corner," Kairi said in her thoughts. Kairi spoke out loud, "Skiploom! Bounce!" Skiploom jumps up and heads right at Chinchou, landing a hit. "Now use Energy Ball!" Skiploom fires Energy Ball right at Chinchou right in the face. Each attack only sent Chinchou further back. "Bullet Seed!" Skiploom fired Bullet Seed, hitting the deep sea fish Pokémon. Kairi has gotten Chinchou cornered now; but she knew it wouldn't keep Chinchou there for long, so he had to act fast. "Now use Energy Ball!" Skiploom fired Energy Ball, hitting Chinchou again.
"Incredible! Skiploom is giving Chinchou a series of beatings! I hope Aoi has a new trick up her sleeve!" The announcer announced.
"Skiploom! Energy Ball once again!" Kairi called out. Skiploom fired another Energy Ball right Chinchou and she hit the wall pretty hard. Chinchou was definitely knocked out.
"Chinchou is unable to battle! Skiploom wins!" The referee announced.
"And that makes two Pokémon Aoi had lost to Kairi and her Pokémon! Can Aoi make a comeback before Kairi can win the battle? Or will Kairi be moving on? I am at the edge of my seat!" The announcer announced. Aoi calls back Chinchou. And she takes out a Moon Ball.
"I can't believe it! She took out two of my heavy hitting Pokémon! But she won't take this one down! Go forth, Clefable!" The Moon Ball opens and reveals Clefable.
"Aoi has sent out her Clefable to deal with Kairi! And judging how this looks, I doubt her Skiploim is going to make a dent on this one!" The announcer announced.
"Don't judge a book by the cover," Kairi said. "Skiploom! Use Bullet Seed!" Skiploom fires Bullet Seed right Clefable.
"Oh no you don't! Clefable! Stop that Skiploom with your Ice Punch!" Aoi ordered. Clefable dodges Skiploom's Bullet Seed and lands an icy punch on Skiploom freezing her in the process. "Now fire Hyper Beam!" Clefable fires Hyper Beam right at Skiploom and sending right into a wall. Sora, Pikachu, and the Pichu all gasped in shock. Karen, Tracey, Sakura, and Blossom were all shocked to see that. Skiploom had been knocked out.
"Skiploom is unable to battle! Clefable wins!" The referee announced.
"Aoi has finally taken down one of Kairi's Pokémon! I guess she's been saving that Clefable for last!" The announcer announced. Kairi calls back her Skiploom.
"It's okay, Skiploom. You should rest up. She takes out another Pokéball and threw it. "Go for it, Quilava!" The Pokéball opens and lets out Quilava.
"Looks like Quilava is sent back out to battle with Clefable! I would have to say it's a good thing for Kairi that Aoi's Clefable won't be able to make a next attack after using Hyper Beam!" The announcer announced.
"Quilava! Flamethrower!" Kairi ordered. Quilava fired Flamethrower right towards Clefable and the Fairy Pokémon takes the hit.
"Clefable has taken a pretty bad hit from Quilava's Flamethrower! But, it doesn't look like it's enough to bring this bigger Pokémon down!" The announcer announced.
"I don't think Quilava can take Clefable down completely, but he can try to tire Clefable out before Quilava gets knocked out," Kairi said in her thoughts.
"Clefable! Get that Quilava! Ice Punch!" Aoi ordered. Clefable's fist emits ice and heads towards the Volcano Pokémon.
"Quilava! Flame Wheel!" Kairi ordered. Quilava comes at Clefable with a Flame Wheel and the two attacks collides with each other. Both Pokémon were locked in the attacks; not one was backing off.
"This match is starting to heat up as Ice Punch and Flame Wheel are colliding! Quilava's Flame Wheel is holding its own with Clefable's Ice Punch! Not one of them is backing away!" The announcer announced.
"That Quilava is tougher than I thought," Aoi said in her thoughts. "The same can be said to this girl. But, it doesn't mean she's going to win!"
"Quilava! Hit Clefable with Flamethrower!" Kairi ordered. Quilava fired Flamethrower right on Clefable's side. "Again!" Quilava did again, but this time, on the front.
"Clefable! Hyper Beam!" Aoi ordered.
"Smokescreen!" Kairi ordered. Quilava shot a cloud of smoke into Clefable's face making it difficult for Clefable to attack.
"Quilava's Smokescreen is really giving Clefable a real hard time to see! It looks like Kairi has Aoi on the ropes now!" The announcer announced.
"I don't think so! Clefable! Ice Punch!" Aoi ordered. Despite not being able to see, Clefable swung around and managed to hit Quilava hard sending him flying into a wall. Quilava slides down the wall, knocked out from that attack.
"Quilava is unable to battle! Clefable wins!" The referee announced.
"It could be anyone's battle now! Aoi and Kairi has one Pokémon left to use! What might Kairi have up her sleeve?" The announcer asked. Kairi took out her Pokéball and threw it.
"Go for it, Miltank!" Kairi said. The Pokéball opens and Miltank stands ready to go.
"Kairi's final Pokémon is her Miltank! And this Miltank is raring to go!" The announcer announced.
"Even though she already took out Skiploom and Quilava, Clefable is still having a hard time seeing because of Smokescreen. And he tired her out like I knew he would," Kairi said in her thoughts.
"So she saved that powerhouse for last. That Miltank is going down just like the others!" Aoi said in her thoughts.
"Miltank! Rollout!" Kairi ordered. Miltank rolls towards Clefable and struck her on the front. Miltank comes at Clefable again, but the Fairy Pokémon dodges. "Now use Body Slam!" Miktank comes at Clefable with a Body Slam. The Milk Cow Pokémon ends up paralyzing her after making progress.
"Clefable! Ice Punch again!" Aoi ordered. Clefable tries to land a hit on the Milk Cow Pokémon, but she misses her.
"Stomp!" Kairi ordered. Miltank stomps on Clefable's foot. "Now use Seismic Toss!" Miktank grabs Clefable and jumps in the air. Miltank flips Clefable and threw her to the ground. Clefable goes for a slam on the ground as Clefable was down and out.
"Clefable is unable to battle! Miltank wins! The winner of the battle is Kairi!" The referee announced.
"And Kairi moves right on to the finals!" The announcer announced. So many of the boys who rooted for Kairi all cheered for her. They all had banners with her name on her mugshot in a pink heart. They all wore bandanas with her mugshot on the center.
"Okay boys! Who do we worship?!" One of the boys shouted.
"KAIRI!" All the other boys roared.
"Who do we honor?!" The same boy shouted.
"KAIRI!" All the other boys roared.
"Who do we love?!" The same boy shouted.
"KAIRI!" All the other boys roared
"And who do we want to be this year's Poké Maiden Tournament champion?!" The same boy shouted.
"KAIRI! KAIRI! KAIRI! KAIRI! KAIRI!" All the boys roared at the top of their lungs.
Tracey, Karen, Sakura, and Blossom were in range listening to the cheering and roaring of Kairi's newly formed fanclub.
"It's official. Kairi's fanclub has been born," Karen said.
"Pika," Blossom said.
"Won't they be disappointed if they know Kairi is already spoken for?" Sakura asked.
"They would. But, it won't stop them from daydreaming about it," Tracey said.
"Must be nice to have such a nice pipe dream," Karen said.
"Sure does," Karen said. "I'm just amazed by how fast they made those banners and everything else with Kairi's face all over 'em."
"You're not the only one, Karen," Tracey said.
"It wouldn't surprise me how many girls did the same thing for Sora," Karen sighed.
"Chu," Blossom said.
"It's a good thing Kairi is doing the participating otherwise she would give you the evil eye just for saying that, sister or not," Tracey said.
Sora, Kairi, and the Pokémon all rested up while the next battle was underway. The tournament was down to four remaining and Crimson is among them along with Kairi and two other girls.
The time has come for the finals of the Poké Maiden Pokémon Tournament as the four remaining finalists awaited to hear who will be battling who.
"I must say, I am mighty proud and impressed by your efforts. Each of you have worked hard in this tournament and now, the time has come to determine if your hard work will pay off," the forewoman said. "And I must say, I had my doubts about a few of you; but, I'm glad to be proven wrong. The computer shall decide who you'll be up against." The computer has pinned Crimson against a girl named Abbie and that battle will be on first. And Kairi will be up against a girl named Christy on the next. Abbie has orange hair and she wears glasses and a pink dress. Christy has dark blonde hair and she wore a sleeveless top and blue jean pants. "Alright, Crimson and Abbie will be up first. Christy and Kairi will be next."
"It doesn't matter who wins the second round because I already feel sorry for the two of you," Crimson said smugly before she laughs.
"She's right about one thing; it don't matter who wins, because I only care if one of us beats her," Christy said.
"Then I wish you luck," Kairi said.
"Thanks. You too. Just don't go easy on me," Christy said.
"And don't you go easy on me either," Kairi said. Both girls shook hands for the good luck.
Crimson had won over Abbie and the crowd roared for her victory.
"Naturally, I knew I would win," Crimson said smugly. She walked by Kairi with Sora and the Mouse Pokémon with her. Crimson turns to look at her. She said in her thoughts, "She couldn't be this good. I better watch and see how good this girl is."
"And here we are to the finals of the Poké Maiden Tournament! Christy from Pewter City is up against Kairi from Pallet Town! Only one of these two will be moving onto the final round against Crimson! Just who will it be? Well, there is only one way to find out!" The announcer announced.
"This is it. The winner if this battle is going to move on to the final round," Sora said.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
The computer has chosen Christy to make the first choice. The referee instructs Kairi and Christy, "Trainers! choose your Pokémon and come out battling!" Christy took out her first Pokéball and threw it.
"Go for it, Octillery!" Christy shouted. The Pokéball opens and lets out a red, cephalopod-like Pokémon with large, round eyes and a turret-like mouth. There are yellow bumps on its rock-hard head and yellow suction cups on each of its eight tentacles. Kairi took out her Pokédex and scanned it. The Pokémon on the Pokédex has larger suction cups than the one she's looking at.
Octillery, the Jet Pokémon
The evolved form of Remoraid
Type: Water
Octillery grabs onto its foe using its tentacles. This Pokémon tries to immobilize it before delivering the finishing blow. If the foe turns out to be too strong, Octillery spews ink to escape.
"Remoraid evolves into that Pokémon? I wouldn't have believed it," Kairi said, putting her Pokédex away.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Go for it, Angel!" Kairi called out. Angel enters the battlefield once again.
"Christy has chosen Octillery and Kairi has sent out her Eevee to dish it out! That little Eevee has held its own against a larger opponent like Piloswine! But that Octillery is no slouch when it comes to battling!" The announcer announced. Kairi didn't doubt that for a second; she knew for certain how strong Octillery looked.
"Come on, Kairi! You can take it down! I know you can!" Sora cheered for her.
"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu also cheered.
"Pichu, Pi!" The Spiky-eared Pichu added.
"Pichu!" The Shiny Pichu added.
Kairi was lucky to have a supportive boyfriend like Sora and good Pokémon friends like his Pikachu and his adobtive little brother and sister. She could also hear the cheers of the Karen, Tracey, and Sakura as well. Kairi got into position for battle.
"Angel! Swift!" Kairi called out. Angel fires Swift and it heads towards the octopus Pokémon.
"Octillery! Fire Ice Beam!" Christy ordered. Octillery fires the beam of ice right at stars, freezing them. "Ice Beam again!" Octillery fires another Ice Beam at the female Eevee.
"Angel! Dodge and use Quick Attack!" Kairi called out. Angel ran across the battlefield as Ice Beam had missed its mark. Angel raced towards Octillery and rammed into it. "Now use Iron Tail!" Angel swings her tail and hits Octillery.
"Octillery! Fire your Octazooka!" Christy ordered. Octillery's eyes widen and it fires a large and powerful beam of ink from its mouth at Angel. The attack hits Angel covering her body with black ink.
"Octillery has fired its signature attack right at Eevee covering its entire body with ink! And I may add, extremly thick ink!" The announcer announced.
Angel tries to wipe off the ink, but there was just too much and the ink was just too thick to take off.
"Angel! Hang in there!" Kairi called out.
"Good work, Octillery! Now fire Psybeam!" Christy ordered. Octillery fired Psybeam and it hits Angel pretty hard.
"Judging how this battle is going, Octillery has Eevee on the ropes!" The announcer announced.
"That Octillery is pretty tough. Sora has been in tighter situations than this. Angel can't see a thing with all that ink in her face. But, she can hear," Kairi said in her thoughts.
"Move in with Wring Out!" Christy ordered.
"Angel! Listen for Ocillery's movements!" Kairi called out. Angel nodded and listened to the light sounds Octillery's suction cups were making. The octopus Pokémon sent her tentacles to grab Angel, but she lands a Headbutt on Octillery.
"It looks like the tables are starting to turn on Octillery! Eevee has landed a Headbutt right in the face! Christy probably isn't happy about having her ink the face stragedy sunk!" The announcer announced.
"Not too bad. Most of my opponents would have just rushed right in to attack. She must have figured her way around it. I wonder how long that will last. Octillery! Fire Bubble Beam!" Octillery fires Bubble Beam to hit Angel.
"Use your Iron Tail to block that Bubble Beam!" Kairi called out. Angel did exactly that, swinging her tail repeatedly. All of the bubbles had popped making contact with her tail. The water from the popped bubbles has splashed onto Angel's body; just as Kairi planned. Kairi is using the water to wash off the ink. Sora smiled as he knew what she was doing.
"Atta girl, Kairi. Keep going at it," Sora said in his thoughts.
Octillery kept firing Bubble Beam and Angel kept swinging her tail until the ink completely washed off.
"My plan just blew up in my face" Christy exclaimed in her mind. "Octillery! Cease fire!"
"Angel! Swift!" Kairi ordered. Angel fired before Octillery could stop. Octillery felt The stars cuts through the bubbles and struck Octillery hard, resulting in a knockout.
"Octillery is unable to battle! Eevee wins!" The referee announced.
"Kairi has taken down Octillery by using Eevee's Swift! Christy needs to think fast if she wants to make it to the final round!" The announcer announced.
"I have to admit, Kairi; you really are good. And your last opponents were no pushovers themselves," Christy complemented calling back her Octillery. "Let's see how well you do well against my next one." Christy took out her next Pokéball. "Go for it, Ivysaur!" The Pokéball opens and lets out an Ivysaur; its color is light green and the spots are dark green. And the flower on the bulb is yellow. Stars swirls around Ivysaur upon entry.
"Christy's second Pokémon is her Ivysaur! And it's in a different Shiny color!" The announcer announced.
"Another Shiny Pokémon. I guess having Shiny Pokémon must be in all the range these days," Kairi said her thoughts.
"My Ivysaur is strong enough to take down any Pokémon you can throw at me! C'mon! Show me what you've got!" Christy said in her thoughts.
"Angel, come back and rest for a while," Kairi said. Angel returns to Kairi's side. Kairi took out a Pokéball and threw it. "Go! Girafarig!" Her Pokéball opened and Girafarig awaits for intructions.
"Kairi has sent out a Girafarig to deal with her Ivysaur! Since Ivysaur is a Poison-type Pokémon, it has the edge in types! But, will her Ivysaur get the best of her Girafarig like her Octillery did with Eevee? I'm starting to get the chills!" The announcer announced.
"Ivysaur! Start up with Tackle!" Christy ordered. Ivysaur charges with full force of its body to hit Girafarig.
"Okay Girafarig! Dodge and use Psybeam!" Kairi ordered. Girafarig avoided Ivysaur's attack and fired Psybeam right towards the Shiny Seed Pokémon. Ivysaur got hit by the psychic beam.
"Ivysaur! Bullet Seed!" Christy ordered. Ivysaur fired seeds right at the Long Neck Pokémon like a machine gun.
"Psybeam again!" Kairi ordered. Girafarig fires Psybeam and blocked the seeds from reaching him.
"It looks like those two are cancelling each other out with those attacks! Girafarig's Pasybeam is doing a great job on blocking Ivysaur's Bullet Seed!" The announcer announced.
"Very good. Blocking my attack with your attack. I was right to take you seriously," Christy said.
"Thanks for that, Christy. You're not bad yourself. Girafarig! Case fire!" Kairi called out.
"Ivysaur! You stop firing too!" Christy called out. Both Pokémon ceased their attacks. They stare right into each other like a standoff.
"Girafarig and Ivysaur has stopped their attacks and they're staring at each other and they're waiting for the other to make the first move!" The announcer announced.
"Ivysaur! Tackle!" Christy ordered. Ivysaur moved in with a Tackle attack.
"Girafarig! Psychic Fangs!" Kairi ordered. Girafarilg's tail's teeth emits a psychic energy and lands a bite on Ivysaur's leg before Ivysaur can land a Tackle.
"Vine Whip!" Christy ordered. Ivysaur smacks Girafarig with Vine Whip in the face. Ivysaur kept smacking and smacking.
"It looks like those two are really giving everything they've got! Only one of them is going to make it out on top!" The announcer announced.
"Now use Magical Leaf!" Christy ordered. Ivysaur sent out multicolored leaves at Girafarig hoping to finish him off.
"Girafarig! Psychic!" Kairi ordered. Girafarig's eyes glows blue as he stops the leaves in their tracks. Girafarig sends them back and sends Ivysaur's Magical Leaf right back to its owner. "Now finish up with Psychic Fangs!"
"Ivysaur! Tackle!" Christy ordered. Both Pokémon ran towards each other to land the finishing blow to each other. Both did land a hit, but it resulted in a double knockout.
"Ivysaur and Girafarig are unable to battle! This round is a draw!" The referee announced.
"Kairi remains to be in the lead while Christy has one left in reserve! I wonder if Christy can turn things around for herself and what other surprises does she have in store!" The announcer announced.
"I knew you could do it, Kairi! The battle's not over yet!" Sora said. Kairi turned to Sora and smiled.
"Thanks, Sora!" Kairi said. She calls back her Girafarig as Christy calls back her Ivysaur.
"We may have both lost one at the same time, but you're doing better than I thought you would. I saved the best for last," she said taking out her last Pokéball. "Go for it, Arbok!" The Pokéball opens and lets out her Arbok!" This Arbok was slightly larger than Jessie's Arbok and possibly more stronger. Kairi looked at Angel.
"You're up again, Angel!" Kairi said as Angel came back into the battle.
"And Kairi has sent Eevee back out to deal with her Arbok! Both of these Pokémon look strong enough, but it looks like Arbok has the advantage when it comes to both strength and size!" The announcer announced.
"Arbok! Poison Fang!" Christy ordered. Arbok launched itself towards Angel with its jaws emitting poison.
"Dodge and use Quick Attack!" Kairi ordered. Angel dodged and dashed right at Arbok; but it wasn't enough to take Arbok down.
"That was great, Angel! Now use Iron Tail!" Kairi ordered. Angel's tail gave off a metallic glow and lands a hit onto the Cobra Pokémon.
"Acid Spray!" Christy ordered. Arbok spewed out a large blob of purple acid right at Angel.
"Arbok has let out a nasty Acid Spray and things aren't looking good for Eevee!" The announcer announced.
"Angel! Use Iron Tail again!" Kairi ordered. Angel swings her tail again and it strikes Arbok hard.
"Arbok! Poison Fang!" Christy ordered. Arbok lunged towards Angel once again even when taking the hit from Angel's attack.
"Dodge and use Quick Attack!" Kairi called out. Angel ran pass Arbok, but the Cobra Pokémon struck Angel with its tail. Arbok turns back around with its fangs emitting poison and struck Angel. "Now finish it with Headbutt!" Arbok rammed its head right into Angel knocking her out.
"Eevee is unable to battle! Arbok wins!" The referee announced.
"Now Kairi has one Pokémon left to use! I'm going to guess after losing Girafarig in a double knockout, she doesn't have any other Pokémon that has an advantage over Arbok!" The announcer announced.
"That announcer is right; Girafarig was the only one on my team that has an advantage over Arbok. I can't use Togepi, Sunflora, or Skiploom against Arbok because they'll be taken out quickly because they're Fairy and Grass-types. I guess I'll have to go with Miltank in this one," Kairi said in her thoughts. Kairi has taken out her third Pokéball.
"Has Kairi made up her mind? I wonder which one is she gonna have to use!" The announcer announced.
"Go! Miltank!" Kairi said, throwing her Pokéball and lets Miltank enter the battle.
"It would seem Kairi has sent out her Miltank to deal with Arbok!" The announcer announced.
"Arbok! Acid Spray!" Christy ordered. Arbok fired another large drop of purple acid right at Miltank.
"Miltank! Dodge and use Body Slam!" Kairi ordered. Miltank ran pass Arbok, so Miltank slammed her body into Arbok.
"Miltank did a better job with its attacks than Eevee did! And it would seem Arbok has gotten exhausted from that battle with Eevee and Miktank had just gotten out!" The announcer announced.
"I couldn't agree more with that," Christy agreed. "But my Arbok is just getting started and so have I! Arbok! Headbutt!" Arbok dashed over to Miktank to land a headbutt.
"Rollout!" Kairi ordered. Miltank curls into a ball and rams into the Cobra Pokémon Miktank kept on rolling and rolling right until she brought down Arbok.
"Arbok is unable to battle! Miltank wins! Kairi wins the battle!" The referee announced.
"And there you have it! Kairi is moving on to the final round of the Poké Maiden Tournament against Crimson! The battle with begin within an hour!" The announcer announced. Crimson watched the whole battle pretty impressed.
"I'll have to admit, I was impressed by her battling skills. Her Pokémon are really something else. But, why hasn't she sent that Togepi out to battle? It's a good thing it's a full six-on-six battle, because she'll have no choice but to send out her Togepi against me," Crimson said. "And I'll take it out just like I will do her." Crimson laughs smugly.
Once Kairi had her Pokémon healed up for the final battle, Kairi was approached by all the other participants who were already eliminated during the competition.
"Um, something I can help you guys out with?" Kairi asked feeling nervous.
"You can help us out alright," Winnie said.
"You can help by putting that snobby bitch in her place," Marie said.
"She goes around saying that she's better than the rest of us and decides herself the winner even if some of us didn't even battle her," Marie said.
"Yeah, I already got a taste of it," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel added.
"So, you'll make it really bitter for her, right?" Aoi asked.
"Don't any of you worry. I'll give her a battle she won't forget. I'm not just going to dedicate it to my boyfriend and my friends; I'm dedicating it to all of you, too," Kairi said.
Even though they all lost, they all rooted for Kairi hoping to send Crimson down several levels down. Sora was mighty proud of his girlfriend showing some hope for the other girls because they all dislike Crimson.
The time has come for the battle between Kairi and Crimson. Kairi came to the battlefield with Togepi walking beside her with Sora and the Mouse Pokémon right beside him and right behind her.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have now entered the final round of the Poké Maiden Tournament! Crimson and Kairi have both come so far and only one of them is walking away with that winner's trophy!" The announcer announced.
"She may have climed to the top, but she's going to make a pretty big fall," Crimson said in her thoughts.
"I couldn't care less about some trophy, because taking her down is all I need to prove to this stuck up bimbo about how real Pokémon Trainers should respect other Trainers and save that kind of talk on the battlefield," Kairi said in her thoughts. The referee steps out and explains the rules to the both of them.
"As you know, this is the final round of the Poké Maiden Tournament! Both of you will be using all six Pokémon each! The battle will be over when all six of your Pokémon are unable to continue battling! Are you ready to begin?" The referee asked.
"Yes!" Kairi and Crimson answered.
"Good!" The referee stated. "Begin the battle!" Crimson took out her first Pokéball as did Kairi. The computer has selected Kairi to make the first choice.
"Take the stage, Skiploom!" Kairi called out. She threw her Pokéball and Skiploom floats in the air upon entry.
"Then my first Pokémon is going to be Persian!" Crimson said as she threw her Pokéball letting out a Persian. The Classy Pokémon purrs and snarls at the opponent.
"Kairi has chosen Skiploom while Crimson has sent out Persian!" The announcer announced.
"Persian! Begin with Night Slash!" Crimson ordered. Persian jumped towards Skiploom with its claws emitting a dark aura.
"Skiploom! Dodge and use Bounce!" Kairi ordered. Skiploom jumped out of the way and landed right on Persian. "Now use Bullet Seed!" Skiploom fires seeds at Persian four times.
"Power Gem!" Crimson ordered. Persian fired Power Gem right at the Cottonweed Pokémon.
"Dodge it!" Kairi called out. Skiploom quickly jumped up and floated in the air. "Now move in with Headbutt!" Skiploom floats towards the Classy Cat Pokémon and landed another hit with Headbutt. "Now use Bullet Seed!" Skiploom slowly came down and fired a barrage of seeds at Persian.
"Kairi is doing a serious number on Crimson's Persian! Skiploom may be cute, but it packs quite a punch!" The announcer announced.
"Persian! Stop that pathetic Skiploom now! Night Slash!" Crimson ordered. Persian moved in with Night Slash again, but Skiploom moves fast and fires Bullet Seed again and again right until Persian was taken down.
"Persian is unable to battle! Skiploom wins!" The referee announced.
"Kairi has taken the early lead in this battle! Skiploom made it extremely hard with its fast Bullet Seed!" The announcer announced.
"Not bad, girl. Didn't expect to have this happen to me so soon," Crimson said, calling back her Persian and pulls out another Pokéball. "The results won't be the same again." She threw the Pokéball. "Go Granbull!" The Pokéball opens to reveal a Granbull and it lets out a loud roar upon entry.
"Crimson's second Pokémon is a Granbull! Crimson isn't messing around when dealing with this powerful biting machine!" The announcer announced.
"Neither am I," Kairi stated. "You still able to go, Skiploom?"
"Skip!" Skiploom said.
"Great! Now start up up with Headbutt!" Kairi ordered. Skiploom headed towards Granbull to land a heavy Headbutt.
"Granbull! Thunder Fang!" Crimson ordered. Granbull charged towards the Cottonweed Pokémon and lands an electrified bite on Skiploom. Skiploom is sent back.
"Ooh! Granbull has stopped Skiploom from attacking with that Thunder Fang! And it doesn't look like Granbull is going to put up with Skiploom at all!" The announcer announced. Kairi thought of an idea.
"Do what you did before! Bullet Seed!" Kairi ordered. Skiploom fires seeds at Granbull, hitting it.
"Kairi wasn't messing around either since she had Skiploom use Granbull for target practice! How does Crimson intend to handle this?" The announcer asked. Crimson pulls out Granbull's Pokéball and calls Granbull back. She pulls out another Pokéball.
"I don't plan on making the same mistake twice in a row! My next one won't be easy to beat at all!" Crimson said as she threw her Pokéball. "Go! Primeape!" The Pokéball opens and lets out a Primeape and it banged its chest on entry.
"Crimson has sent out her third Pokémon, Primeape! Primeape is at a disadvantage since Skiploom is a Flying-type Pokémon!" The announcer announced.
"I have some tricks, too, Crimson," Kairi said, calling back Skiploom. She pulls out another Pokéball. "And I'll prove it now! Go! Furret!" Kairi threw her Pokéball and it lets out Furret.
"Kairi has sent out her Furret to deal with Primeape! But it looks like Kairi might have made a mistake since Primeape is a Fighting-type and Furret is a Normal-type!" The announcer announced.
"What was that about you having some tricks? Pound that weakling with your Rage!" Crimson ordered. Primeape's nostrils blows like a train as its entire body glows in a red aura. Primeape charges towards Furret.
"Use Aqua Tail!" Kairi ordered. Furret smacks Primeape in the face with Aqua Tail. "Use Fury Swipes!" Furret gave Primeape some scratches in the face.
"Primeape appears to be having trouble with this opponent! I have never seen the tables turn on a Fighting-type Pokémon so fast with a Normal-type!" The announcer announced.
"No way! Primeape can't lose! I better call Primeape back," Crimson said, taking out her Pokéball.
"Send Primeape flying with Slam!" Kairi called out. Furret grabs Primeape and smacked the Pig Monkey Pokémon all over the battlefield, making it harder for Crimson to call back Primeape.
"Ooh, I could feel it from up here, because that Primeape is taking a series of beatings from that Slam!" The announcer announced.
"One more Slam!" Kairi called out. Furret gave Primeape a spin and sends Primeape flying in the air and came back straight down in a few seconds, landing on the ground, beaten.
"Primeape is unable to battle! Furret wins!" The referee announced.
"And that makes two Pokémon Kairi had eliminated! She is well on her way!" The announcer announced.
"Now I'm really done playing around!" Crimson said as she calls back Primeape and took out another Pokéball. "Go Ninetales!" Crimson threw the Pokéball and Ninetales enters the battle.
"And Crimson has let out her fourth Pokémon! And that is a Ninetales!" The announcer announced. Kairi calls back Furret. "Look at that! Kairi is withdrawing Furret for another one of her Pokémon!" Kairi took out Brick's Pokéball.
"Take the stage, Brick!" Kairi said, throwing her Pokéball and letting Brick join the battle.
"Kairi has sent Marill back out to battle Ninetales! She has gained the type advantage this time!" The announcer announced.
"Ninetales! Confuse Ray!" Crimson ordered. Ninetales sends out a white flashing light towards the red Aqua Mouse Pokémon to confuse him.
"Brick, dodge!" Kairi called out. Brick ran out of the way and Confuse Ray had missed its mark.
"No you don't! Get that water rat! Heat Wave!" Crimson ordered. Ninetales sends out a wave of red-orange wave of flames to hit Brick. The attack strikes him on the side.
"Brick! Bubble Beam!" Kairi ordered. Brick fires Bubble Beam, dealing some heavy damage against the Fox Pokémon. "Now use Aqua Tail!" Brick holds his tail like a mace and he strikes the Fox Pokémon very hard and the force of the attack knocks Ninetales out.
"Ninetales is unable to battle! Marill wins!" The referee announced.
"Kairi has taken down three of Crimson's Pokémon! This battle is really getting heated!" The announcer announced. Crimosn growls with anger and frustration.
"How dare she make a fool out of me," she hissed in her thoughts. "Nobody makes a fool out of me and gets away with it. This brat may have already eliminated half of my team, but she won't be so fortunate next time." Kairi's fanclub roars as they cheered on Kairi.
"Kairi is our princess! Win this for all of us because we love you, our princess!" The fans cheered.
Crimson glared at Kairi with a hateful look in her eyes having to lost half her team when she was supposed to in the lead right from the start. The referee steps out and raises her flags.
Crimson took out her next Pokéball and threw it.
"Go Starmie!" Crimson threw her Pokéball letting out her Starmie. Kairi calls back Brick and took out Skiploom's Pokéball.
"Skiploom! Back to action!" Kairi called out throwing her Pokéball letting out Skiploom floating in the air again.
"Crimson has sent out Starmie and Kairi has sent out Skiploom! Kairi has gained the type advantage in this one! But I wouldn't count out that Starmie just yet!" The announcer announced.
"Skiploom! Bullet Seed!" Kairi ordered. Skiploom fires Bullet Seed right at the star-like Pokémon.
"Starmie! Psychic!" Crimson ordered. Starmie's jewel core glows as it sends Bullet Seed right back at Skiploom with twice the power and it was enough to knock out Skiploom.
"Skiploom is unable to battle! Starmie wins!" The referee announced.
"Crimson has finally taken out one of Kairi's Pokémon! Kairi will have to rethink her plan to conquer that Starmie!" The announcer announced. Kairi calls back Skiploom.
"It's okay, Skiploom. You tried and that's what matters," Kairi said, taking out another Pokéball. "Back to action, Furret!" Kairi threw it and Furret came back out to battle.
"Kairi has sent out her Furret to deal with Starmie to make up for Skiploom's hiccup!" The announcer announced.
"Furret! Use Quick Attack!" Kairi ordered. Furret ran across the battlefield and heads right towards Starmie.
"Is that how you want to play it? Then that's how I want to play it too! Starmie! Dazzling Gleam!" Crimson ordered. Starmie's core glows pink and sends out Dazzling Gleam to hit Furret.
"Dodge!" Kairi called out. Furret manages to jump in order to avoid Dazzling Gleam.
"It looks like Starmie is having a hard time keeping up with Furret's speed! Starmie keeps firing Dazzling Gleam, but Furret keeps throwing off Starmie with its speed!" The announcer announced. Starmie kept firing and firing, but Furret was just too fast. Kairi saw how quickly tired Starmie got from firing those attacks.
"Aqua Tail!" Kairi ordered. Furret ran up to Starmie and landed an Aqua Tail on Starmie causing heavy damage. Starmie quickly regained its balance. "Quick Attack!" Furret rammed into Starmie again. Furret got on top of Starmie. Crimson gasped in realization.
"Starmie! Shake Furret off!" Crimson called out.
"Fury Swipes!" Kairi ordered. Furret gave Starmie quite a series of scratches, causing heavy damage. Starmie falls to the ground with its core flashing.
"Starmie is unable to battle! Furret wins!" The referee announced.
"And Furret has mopped the floor with Starmie! Kairi is still leading with five Pokémon while Crimson still has two! Which one will she send out next?" The announcer asked. She takes out another Pokéball and threw it.
"Back out, Granbull!" Crimson threw her Pokéball back out with her Granbull still tender from the battle with Skiploom.
"And she sends Granbull back out and it's still soft from Skiploom's attacks! Could she be throwing the battle or could she have an ace up her sleeve?" The announcer asked. Kairi calls back Furret and took out Quilava's Pokéball and threw it.
"Your turn now, Quilava," Kairi said. Her Pokéball opened and Quilava came right out to battle.
"Kairi has sent Quilava out to deal with this Granbull! I wonder what could Crimson have in store for Kairi's Pokémon!" The announcer announced.
"That Granbull still has some fight left even after battling Skiploom. Better take her out quickly," Kairi said in her thoughts. Kairi spoke out loud, "Quilava! Flame Wheel!" Quilava heads right at Granbull with a Flame Wheel.
"Thunder Fang!" Crimson ordered. Granbull charged towards Quilava with her fangs sparkling with lightning.
"Dodge and use Flamethrower!" Kairi called out. Quilava moves to the left with Granbull in hot pursuit of her target. Quilava fired Flamethrower right into Granbull's face.
"Mega Punch!" Crimson ordered. Granbull threw a powerful punch at Quilava. The full force of the punch sends Quilava flying knocking him out.
"Quilava is unable to battle! Granbull wins!" The referee announced.
"And there you have it! Granbull takes down Kairi's Quilava! Maybe Crimson is making quite a comeback!" The announcer announced. Kairi calls back Quilava and looked at Angel.
"Your turn now, Angel!" Kairi said. Angel steps into the battlefield.
"Sending your Eevee to deal with my Granbull? She must be desperate if she's sending out that runt to battle. She must be saving that Togepi for last," Crimson said in her thoughts.
"Angel! Iron Tail!" Kairi called out.
"Granbull! Mega Punch!" Crimson ordered. Both Pokémon threw powerful attacks at each other.
"Swift!" Kairi called out. Angel fires Swift and the stars hits the Fairy Pokémon, but it wasn't enough to bring her down.
"Granbull! Thunder Fang!" Crimson ordered. Granbull charges to the female Eevee with her fangs emitting lightning. Granbull lands a hit on Angel.
"Iron Tail!" Kairi ordered. Angel swings her tail at Granbull's right eye. "Now use Quick Attack!" Angel dashed into Granbull's gut making her skid the ground.
"Those two are really giving everything they've got! Neither one of them wants to lose! And juding how this is going, it looks like it could go either way!" The announcer announced.
"Granbull! Mega Punch! Crimson ordered.
"Angel! Headbutt!" Kairi ordered. Both Angel and Granbull came at each other with their fists coming at each other. Angel lands a Headbutt and the same for Granbull. Both Pokémon falls to the ground in exhaustion earning a double knockout.
"Granbull and Eevee are unable to battle! This round is a draw!" The referee announced.
"Both girls have earned a double knockout! Crimson has one left and Kairi has three remaining! How will the tables turn for Crimson?" The announcer announced. Crimson took out her last Pokéball.
"I've been saving the best for last. Dragonair! Go!" Crimson threw her Pokéball and it lets out her Dragonair letting out a majestic cry.
"Crimson has sent out her final Pokemon: Dragonair! Dragonair had served her well during the tournament! But will this Dragonair be enough to take down Kairi's remaining team?" The announcer asked. Kairi takes out Brick's Pokéball.
"Brick is a Fairy-type so, he has an edge over a Dragon-type Pokémon like Dragonair. I'm going to send Brick back out," Kairi said in her thoughts. She threw her Pokéball, "Go! Brick!" The Pokéball opens and Brick emerges from inside.
"Kairi has sent Marill back out! Will Marill be able to take down Crimson's final Pokémon or will Marill fall victim despite a type advantage? There is only one way to find out!" The announcer announced.
"Brick! Play Rough!" Kairi ordered. Marill heads right towards the Dragon Pokémon.
"Dragonair! Thunderbolt!" Crimson ordered. Dragonair's jewel glows yellow as it sends out Thunderbolt on the red Aqua Mouse Pokémon stopping him in his tracks. That was a super-effective hit. "Now use Ice Beam!" Dragonair freezes Brick into a block of ice. The ice block with the red Aqua Mouse Pokémon inside falls and the ice block shatters. Brick's eyes swirls upon being knocked out.
"Marill is unable to battle! Dragonair wins!" The referee announced.
"Kairi now has two Pokémon left to use! Which one does she have that can stand up to Crimson's Dragonair?" The announcer asked. Kairi took out Furret's Pokéball.
"Back to action, Furret!" Kairi called out as the Pokéball opens and lets out Furret.
"Kairi has sent Furret to deal with Dragonair! Let's see how this turns out!" The announcer announced.
"I figured she'll send her Furret back out. It's revenge for what she did to my Primeape and Starmie," Crimson said smirking.
"Furret! Quick Attack!" Kairi ordered. Furret ran right at the serpentine Dragon Pokémon.
"Dragonair! Dodge and use Dragon Rush!" Crimson ordered. Dragonair surrounded itself with a purple aura and headed towards the Long Body Pokémon.
"Crimson really wants to end this badly! She's having her Dragonair move in with a devastating Dragon Rush attack!" The announcer announced.
"Dodge it, quick!" Kairi called out. Furret narrowly avoids Dragonair's attack, but she gets caught in the blast of the Dragon Rush. "Try using Aqua Tail!" Furret regained her balance upon landing on her feet and leapt back up and came at Dragonair with an Aqua Tail. She gave Dragonair a hit.
"That won't be enough to take down my Dragonair! Use Flamethrower now!" Crimson ordered. Dragonair fired Flamethrower right at the Long Body Pokémon and quickly became overwhelmed by Flamethrower.
"Ooh! That Flamethrower looks too hot for Furret to handle!" The announcer announced. Furret falls on her back knocked out.
"Furret is unable to battle! Dragonair wins!" The referee announced.
"And there you have it! Both Kairi and Crimson have one Pokémon left to use! This can be anybody's battle now!" The announcer announced. Kairi thought of who to use next.
"So far I have Miltank, Mismagius, Ledian, Girafarig, Sunflora, and Togepi. Miltank Mismagius, or Girafarig would hold their own against Dragoniar, but Ledian will get taken out with Flamethrower and Togepi is too inexperienced for a battle," Kairi said in her thoughts.
"Toge," Togepi chirped. Kairi was surprised when she saw how determined Togepi is.
"Togepi? You want to battle?" Kairi asked.
"Toge," Togepi nodded. Kairi wanted to protest, but she saw that his mind is made up.
"This is your first battle ever, Togepi," Kairi said.
"Toge," Togepi nodded.
"I believe in you, Togepi. So, all I ask is that you give it everything you've got," Kairi said. Togepi stepped in the battlefield.
"And Kairi's final Pokémon is her Togepi! Togepi may be small in appearance, but Togepi has the advantage as a Fairy-type Pokémon! Let's see how it does!" The announcer announced.
"Not so well, I can tell you. I've waiting patiently for her to send out that little runt. Dragonair! Flamethrower!" Crimson ordered. Dragonair fires Flamethrower right at Togepi. Kairi had some aces up her sleeve.
"Togepi! Safeguard!" Kairi ordered. Togepi formed a protective shield in front of him. The Flamethrower is blocked as Togepi's defenses have risen. Crimson wasn't expecting that to happen. "Now use Swift!" Togepi fired Swift and the stars smacks Dragonair.
"This is incredible! Togepi is tougher than I expected! Crimson must have thought she was going to find an easy win with this little Pokémon! She must have been disappointed to find out how hard she is!" The announcer announced.
"What the hell is going on?! This isn't how I planned at all!" Crimson exclaimed. "Thunderbolt!" Dragonair fires Thunderbolt right at Togepi.
"Safeguard!" Kairi called out. The protective shield blocks Thunderbolt and Togepi's defenses raises again. "Now use Metronome!" Togepi swings his little arms back and forth. Dragonair moved along with Togepi's movements. The Pichu did the same thing as Pikachu.
"Togepi is now using its Metronome! I'm at the edge of my seat because just about anything can happen when Metronome is used; I wonder what could happen!" The announcer announed. Togepi stops swinging his arms around as they gave off a little blue glow. Togepi fires a large sphere of flames with two rings surrounding it from Togepi's little hands. The attack is sent towards Dragonair and the attack hits it hard. Crimson was at a disbelief to what she was witnessing. "Incredible! If I didn't know better, I could have sworn that was Fusion Flare! That is a very powerful Fire-type attack!" Sora and Kairi were surprised by what they saw.
"Fusion Flare?" Sora and Kairi asked in shock. Even the Tracey, Karen, and Sakura were amazed by this sight.
"Fusion Flare. If I remember right, the legendary Pokémon Reshiram uses that attack," Tracey pointed out.
"Kairi's Togepi is just full of surprises," Karen said.
"Pikachu," Blossom said.
"I'm with Karen. I had no idea how Togepi could have learned those moves despite never being in an actual battle before," Sakura said.
"Dragonair..." Crimson gasped. Dragonair had some burns on its body from taking Fusion Flame. Dragonair could make another move towards Togepi, but it was too tired and injured to do so.
"Crimson's Dragonair doesn't look so good! Taking that Fusion Flare must have taken loads of damage despite having a good defense from Fire-type attacks!" The announcer announced.
"Okay Togepi! Finish up with Last Resort!" Kairi ordered. Togepi body becomes outlined in a golden aura, with orbs of energy being absorbed into his body. The golden aura then forms into a massive star in front of Togepi's body and is fired at Dragonair, bringing it down. Dragonair was down and out.
"Dragonair is unable to battle! Togepi wins! The championship battle goes to Kairi from Pallet Town!" The referee announced. The crowd starts roaring as the tournament has now concluded.
"And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen! This year's Poké Maiden Tournment champion is Kairi from Pallet Town!" The announcer announced. The girls who participated the tournament all cheer as they were all glad to see Crimson had lost. Kairi's fanclub cheered even more as they chanted for their princess for her victory. Crimson was at a loss to her defeat as she turned comepletely white as chalk.
"I can't believe it. I lost to some little brat? Just who is this girl?" Crimson asked in disbelief as she felt herself eroding away into dust.
Kairi had recieved the championship trophy from the forewoman with Angel and Togepi standing beside her.
"Concragualtions, Kairi. Your hard work and dedication to your Pokémon has paid off. This trophy is living poof of it," the forewoman congragulated.
"Thank you," Kairi said accepting the trophy. "I didn't do it alone. I had the support of my friends and my boyfriend right beside me; especially my boyfriend." Sora smiled as he felt proud of his girlfriend for her victory.
A couple of hours later, Kairi had placed her trophy and her winning photo inside a cardboard box filled with styrofoam pellets. She even placed her latest letter inside as well.
"I'm sure your family will pretty surprised to see your trophy and your victory photo when she gets it," Sora said.
"Yeah. I can just hear them say how proud of me she really is. And how much my grandpa feeling the same way if he were alive today," Kairi said.
"But, I'm proud of you, too. You were in pretty tight spots, but you came through like I knew you would," Sora said. Kairi wrapped her arms around Sora's shoulders.
"I couldn't have done it without you. We're pretty strong when we're together," Kairi said.
"And that is never ever gonna change," Sora said wrapping his arms around her. "I love you, Kairi."
"And I love you, too, Sora," Kairi said. Sora and Kairi kissed each other on the lips for a few seconds when a mail carrier arrived.
"Are you the one who requested this package to be delivered to Pallet Town?" The carrier asked.
"Yes. Would you see to it that it gets there as soon as possible?" Kairi asked.
"It'll be my pleasure," he said with a smile. He gently placed it in the back of the truck and drove off to have it delievered.
The couple rejoined their friends as they celebrated in the messhall of the Pokémon Center. But it wasn't pretty quiet since there were times that some of the locals would ask for her autograph and some of the boys took selfies with her. Sora knew how she felt when some of the girls back at Pallet Town would do the same thing.
The group stayed for the night to rest up to continue on with their journey and for Sora's very next Gym battle getting closer than ever.
