This is it people! The first Pokemon Contest! I've based them around how they were in the anime. But anyway you're here for the chapter so here it is!
ALSO I DO NOT OWN GARREN LAGANN IN ANY WAY!
The following morning, Yuki was at the Contest Hall, she was feeding her Vulpix some Poffins she had prepared, the main group arrived soon afterwards
"Hey Yuki! Are you ready for the contest?" Julia asked cheerfully
"You know it! And I'm gonna win!" Yuki responded with pride
"You'll have to beat me first!" A voice called out, everyone turned to face the vice
"Sinead! It's good to see you again!" Renée greeted, Yuki gave Sinead a glare
"Well, this ought to be interesting!" Another voice said, it turned out to be Gareth!
"So you're competing too?" Jack asked
"Yup, and Simon's in it too!" Gareth replied
"This is gonna be a blast to watch!" Diego stated, the others agreed
"Hey, where's Pandora?" Yuki asked
"Oh, she told me she was going on ahead." Diego answered
"Oh, well that's alright, as long as she's having fun!" Julia added, an intercom system turned on and signaled that the Contest would start in a few minutes
"We should probably get our seats, good luck you guys!" Jack announced, everyone who was not in the contest left the room
Some time later, the main 4 had taken their seats in the audience, except Diego who was entering the room, he sat down with the others with a bunch of snacks, the others gave him an annoyed look
"Are you gonna share those?" Jack asked, Diego hesitantly nodded his head, the lights in the arena went dim and a spotlight shone on the center stage, a young woman wearing a flashy dress stood on stage and had a microphone in her hand, she looked tan and her hair was fancy
"Helloooo Cerulean City! My name is Anne Marie Jacobson and welcome to today's Pokemon Contest! Featuring Cerulean City's very own Nurse Joy, the C.E.O of the Pokemon Fan Club; Mr. Tsuchiko, and Cerulean City's Gym Leader; Misty!" She said, the crowd cheered "Starting today's contest is the Appeal Round where the coordinators will show off their most dazzling display with their pokemon!" The crowd cheered at her words "And to start us off, here's Sinead Haze from the Kalos Region!"
The crowd continues cheering as Sinead steps onto the stage, she is wearing a dazzling dress, her Budew is with her, it has a dark green bow.
"Alright Budew, let's do this! Show them the Aqua Seed Combo!" She announces, her Budew begins by using Water Sport to send a large amount of water into the air, Budew then proceeds to use Stun Spore, which sends a cloud of yellow spores into the air. These spores collide with the water, turning it a bright yellow. Budew finishes by using Worry Seed, sending a large seed at the mixture, the seed absorbs the liquid, causing the seed to pop, sending a lovely yellow dust into the air! The audience applauds and cheers for the performance.
"A wonderful starting act! Judges, what did you think?" Anne Marie announces
"It was just lovely!" Nurse Joy states with a smile
"I thought it was remarkable!" Mr. Tsuchiko adds
"I enjoyed the way she used the water add to the beauty of the appeal!" Misty said
"Well it looks like Sinead has made an appeal that looks like it'll be tough to beat!" Anne Marie proclaims, the next coordinator steps forth and makes his appeal
Some time later, another coordinator steps off stage, having done finished her appeal
"Up next is Simon and his Bellsprout, Classy!" The main group along with the rest of the audience cheer
Simon and Classy step on stage, Simon wears a purple suit and a rainbow tie, Classy has a red bow tie on
"Ok Classy, release the spores!" Simon commands his Bellsprout to start the appeal. Classy sends out a bluish-green dust (Sleep Powder), a purple dust (Poison Powder), and a yellow dust (Stun Spore) into the air, the spores mix together and begin to change in color rapidly in a rainbow-like fashion!
"Ok Classy, finish it!" Simon announces, Classy then uses Razor Leaf in a tornado formation, spinning the spores around, the tornado spins faster and faster until it becomes too fast to keep track of. The tornado then implodes into a gorgeous cloud of spores, some were crimson, others blue, some were green. Simon and Classy bow to the audience as they finish, in return, the audience claps and cheers
"Well judges, what did you think?" Anne Marie asks
"It was dazzling!" Nurse Joy says cheerfully
"Very snazzy!" Mr. Tsuchiko adds, Simon looked very proud of that statement
"That was awesome!" Misty cheers
"And it looks like Simon advances to the next round!" Anne Marie proclaims, meanwhile backstage, Gareth is preparing for his performance as he is next. He checks himself in the mirror and smirks
"Up next is Gareth!" Anne Marie states, meanwhile, Gareth is finishing up his preparations backstage
He takes a deep breath before stepping onto the stage, he is wearing clothes similar to Lance, the former champion of the Pokemon League, though Gareth isn't wearing a cape and he is wearing large glasses the resemble Kamina's from Gurren Lagann. He sends out a Staryu that was in a Ball Capsule, the capsule itself sprayed out bubbles when Staryu came out.
"Ok Staryu let's show them the Water Screen!" Gareth commanded, Staryu promptly used Light Screen, giving it a pinkish-bronze aura, then it used Rapid Spin and then Water Gun, the water was shot upwards like a whirlpool, the water had the same color as the Light Screen. Staryu stopped spinning and jumped into the water and appearing at the other end of the whirlpool, it finished the performance by using Dazzling Gleam to destroy the whirlpool, turning the water into a white/rainbow color and turning it into rain droplets showing a rainbow on the stage
"That was fabulous!" Anne Marie announces
"Simply gorgeous!" Nurse Joy inputs
"Remarkable...!" Mr. Tsuchiko adds
Misty is completely speechless, awestruck.
Some of the audience is as well, others awes cheering and applauding
Some of the other coordinators had their chance to show their appeals some failed while others succeeded, finally Yuki had her chance to make an appeal. Backstage, Sinead was watching Yuki from a monitor on the waiting room
"Alright Yuki... let's see what you can do!" Sinead said to herself, she expected her rival to have a great appeal
Meanwhile, on the stage, Yuki seemed very confident, she seemed extremely confident, she was wearing a dress that went with her hair perfectly, Ember (her Vulpix) had a white bow in its fur
"Ok Ember like we practiced!" Yuki said, Ember immediately knew what to do. Ember used Will-o-Wisp to summon bluish-white flames around it's body, then she shot them into the air, the flames repelled each other creating a gap in the center of the flames, then Ember used Confuse Ray to send a a yellow diamond shaped light into the center of the flames, the flames promptly began to orbit the light, spinning faster and faster. Ember finished the performance by using Ember (the move, this is gonna be confusing) towards the light, the other flames struck the light as soon as the Ember hit it. This caused a chain of explosions that looked like fireworks!
"Its beautiful!" Anne Marie proclaims
"Its a very unique performance!" Nurse Joy cheered
"Very charming!" Mr. Tsuchiko proclaimed
"That was really cool!" Misty added
In the audience, the main group also enjoyed Yuki performance
"That was clever!" Jack admitted
"I guess her training paid off!" Renée said, the others nodded
"And that ends the preliminary round, 16 coordinators gave their appeals an only 8 will move on!" Anne Marie announces, a large monitor above the stage was rapidly showing the 16 coordinators, eventually the monitor stopped on the coordinators who advanced to the next round, to their relief, Gareth, Yuki, Simon, and Sinead all advanced!
"For the next round, the remaining 8 coordinators will go head to head, battling for the Cerulean City Pokemon Contest Ribbon! But for now we'll have a short intermission!"Anne Marie stated, the crowd left the auditorium to either use the bathroom or get snacks, The main group went back stage to talk with their friends
"Awesome job you guys!" Diego said, congratulating the coordinators
"Its not over yet though, there's still the battle round." Simon reminded them
"You guys should head back to your seats, you don't wanna miss the show!" Gareth said
"Yeah, you're probably right!" Jack chuckled
"And we're back! The remaining 8 coordinators will battle it out for the prize! The match ups have been predetermined first up Gareth vs. Harry!" Anne Marie announced. Harry was a tall, light skinned teenager, he was battling with his Butterfree. Gareth was using his Machop.
"And... Begin!"
"Machop, use Rock Tomb!" Gareth ordered, Machop slammed it's fist on the arena, causing large chunks of rock to be forced into the air, Machop caught the rocks and threw them at Butterfree
"Not so fast!" Harry warned "Butterfree, use the Silver Whirlwind!" Butterfree spun itself around while flapping it's wings, generating a silver/white colored whirlwind which sent the rocks flying back at Machop
"Oh no! Machop, use Seismic Toss!" Gareth ordered, Machop recovered from the attack and charged at Butterfree at a high speed.
"Butterfree, use Psybeam!" Harry commanded, Butterfree began spinning again and shot a rainbow colored Beam at Machop, who got caught in the beam and began being spun as well. Machop then collapsed back onto the arena, eliminating Gareth from the contest!
"Poor Gareth!" Julia said, she was upset for her friend, but to their surprise, Gareth didn't seem upset by his loss, he even smiled!
"A loss is a loss! It can't be helped!" He said with a smile, Gareth recalled Machop back into its pokeball and went backstage
The battles continued into the semifinal round, Yuki, Sinead, and Simon defeated their opponents, the next matches were Simon vs. Harry and Yuki vs. Sinead
The two boys took their position at the stage, Harry sent out his Butterfree while Simon sent out Classy.
"Butterfree, use Signal Beam!" Harry commanded, Butterfree shot a green and red beam of energy of of its antennas
"Classy, Dodge it and use Stun Spore!" Simon ordered, Classy dodged the beam and used Stun Spore in Butterfree's face, paralyzing it! "Now Classy, use Jump Kick!" Classy jumped high into the air and came crashing down onto Buterfree's face!
"No! Come on Butterfree, use Psybeam!" Harry pleaded
"Classy, spin him around with Vine Whip!" Simon said, Classy grabbed Buterfree with one of its vines and spun it around in the air, before slamming it down hard onto the ground, knocking Butterfree out
"And that puts Simon in the finals!" Anne Marie said "Up next is Yuki vs. Sinead!"
A few minutes later, the girls took their positions on stage and sent out their pokemon
"Ok Ember, let's start out with Quick Attack!" Yuki ordered, Ember dashed towards Sinead's Budew
"Budew use Stun Spore!" Si end commanded, Budew sent out a cloud of yellow spores into the air, Ember came I to contact with the spores, slowing it down, but the Quick Attack still hit
"Ok, Ember, now use Ember!" Yuki ordered, Ember shot out a small flame towards Budew
"Budew, use Water Sport!" Sinead pleaded, Budew sent out a burst of water around itself which lessened the damage from the attack, but it still caused some heavy damage "Oh no!" Sinead yelped, Budew was barely able to stand up, but once it did it began to evolve into Roselia! Everyone was shocked at the evolution
"Ok Roselia, use Mega Drain!" Sinead commanded, Roselia and Ember began to glow green, then multiple small orbs shot out of Ember with a moderate speed, Roselia then absorbed these spheres of energy and when it finished, Roselia was fully healed
"Ember, use Will-o-Wisp! " Yuki ordered, Ember shot out the blue flames and shot them at Roselia
"Roselia, use Poison Sting!" Sinead said, Roselia promptly shot out a sickly purple stinger at Ember, poisoning it!
"Wow! It's amazing how an evolution can turn the tides of battle!" Anne Marie exclaimed
"Roselia, use Bullet Seed!" Sinead commanded, Roselia then shot a barrage of hard seeds at Ember, each seed taking its toll as Ember took more and more damage, as the last seed hit ,Ember could take no more and collapsed, giving Sinead the victory!
"And Sinead Haze is our second finalist!" Anne Marie announced
Yuki looked distraught at her loss but she took her defeat with grace and headed backstage
"And here we are folks! The final round of today's Pokemon Contest!" Anne Marie announced "And here at our finalists, Simon and Sinead! Who will take the ribbon? Let the battle begin!"
"Classy, use Jump Kick!" Simon ordered
"Roselia use Hidden Power!" Sinead instructed, Roselia began to glow red orange and sent out a wave of energy at Classy, knocking it out of the air
"Hidden Power is a move that changes its Type depending on the pokemon, and judging by the damage done to Classy I assume it's a-" Simon began before being cut off
"A Fire Type attack!" Sinead finished
"That just means we'll have to he more careful, Classy use Sleep Powder!" Simon commanded, Classy shot out the Sleep Powder at Roselia
"Roselia, counter act it with Stun Spore!" Sinead said, Roselia shot out the yellow powder, it collided with the Sleep Powder, causing it to dissipate.
"Roselia let's mix it up with the Hidden Seed combo!" Sinead ordered, Simon looked surprised as he wasn't prepared for this, Roselia began to glow again, it used Bullet Seed which had had the same red orange glow as Roselia
"Classy use Vine Whip to deflect the seeds!" Simon commanded, Classy did as instructsd, but the seeds still did damage, by the time Roselia and Classy stopped, Classy was already out of breath!
"Ok Roselia finish it with one more Hidden Power!" Roselia shot out the wave of energy again
"Classy use Jump Kick to dodge it!" Classy tried to jump over the wave, but it was still hit, this caused Classy to drop onto the floor of the arena, knocked out!
"And the winner of the Cerulean City Pokemon Contest is Sinead Haze!" Anne Marie announced, the crowd went crazy cheering! Simon looked a little upset but congratulated Sinead. Sinead was handed her Ribbon, which was Cerulean blue to match the color the City itself was named after, Sinead put the Ribbon on Roselia.
Hours later, the coordinators were back in their regular clothes and were chatting with the main 4
"Congrats on the win Sinead!" Diego said, congratulating his friend
"Thanks, so I take it you're on your way to Celadon City?" Sinead responded
"Yup, we're going to get out second badges there!" Jack answered
"Guys, I found out that our next pokemon contest will be in Lavender town, so unfortunately that means won't be traveling anymore..." Yuki stated
"Aww, but we were having so much fun!" Julia responded
"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll meet up again!" Gareth said with a smile
"Well until then, best of luck to you all!" Renée said, the others said their goodbyes as the coordinators headed East towards Rock Tunnel and Lavender Town, as the main group headed South East towards Celadon City.
And that ends the first Pokemon Contest! Did you like it? Don't worry, you'll see Yuki again, next time, the journey towards Celadon City continues!
