For this chapter for Pokémon Adventure my way I'm going to be introducing the Contest circuit so that I can have Demiyah enter them later on when she hits Hoenn or when she and Neeta enters Johto, and it will be the Sinnoh Contest style meaning that Demiyah's going to have to dress up.
Reaching the island known as Kinnow Island, the girls walked around the city, "Hey Demiyah look at this," Neesha said pointing to the poster, "A Pokémon Contest?" Demiyah read. "A Pokémon Contest is something that shows the beauty and wonder of the Pokémon," a voice said and turning around they saw a girl a bit younger then Demiyah with teal colored hair and eyes and a barrette holding up her bangs. She's wearing a sleeveless blue crop top with white short shorts with frills acting like a skirt and on her feet are diamond shaped anklets around her light blue high heels with a blue and white striped sock on her left foot and adding to her looks she had puffy cotton sleeves starting from her forearm to wrist, above her shoes, and around the back of her neck acting like a hoodie. "Hi there I'm Lisia and I'm a Pokémon Coordinator," she said, "I saw that the poster caught your interests," Demiyah waved her hand, "It's no problem I'm Demiyah this little Pokémon is Togepi and she's Neesha," the young champion introduced. "Oh wow I never expected to meet the youngest champion," Lisia said, "Can I ask about that stone on your Barrette?" Neesha asked.
"Oh this thing," Lisia said pointing to the stone, "This is something called a Mega Stone," the girls were confused, "So it is a Mega Stone," Demiyah said, "You know what Mega Evolution is?" Lisia asked, "Yeah I have a couple of Pokémon that can Mega Evolve," Demiyah admits, "So tell me are either of you going to enter?" Lisia asked changing the subject. "I might as well try it," Demiyah answered, "I'm not too sure I'm up for something so flashy, no offense," Neesha said, "No biggie Contests aren't meant for everyone," Lisia waved, "But if you're going to enter then you need a costume," she said taking the girl's hand then dragged them to the building next to the Contest Hall. "Here you can pick out any outfit," Lisia told her, "Then when you're done I'll explain the process," Demiyah was surprised, "But don't you have your own performance to do?" she asked, "Nah I'm here with my uncle who's one of the contest judges," Lisia waved.
Demiyah, after looking through the rows of clothing, found something that seemed to call out to her, and bragging it she went to one of the rooms to change. "So how does it look?" Demiyah voiced catching the girls attention and turning around they saw Demiyah dressed in a sleeveless tube top dress, the design being a blue band going cress cross on the dress exposing a section of her stomach, that is cut off at the left to reveal her shorts that only had the right leg covered and the sleeves exposed the top part of her shoulders and went down to her pointer finger but there were no shoes to cover her feet (RK: Azura's FE Birthright outfit). "Wow now that's stylish," Lisia complimented, "But isn't that a bit too revealing?" Neesha asked, "Nah it's like something is telling me to wear this," Demiyah said, "Well I have to say you look like a priestess," a voice said and all three turned to the origins of the voice to see a man with the same hair and eye color as Lisia garbed in a teal and white pointed collar long sleeve and purple pants and white shoes. "Uncle Wallace," Lisia said, "Hello there Lisia I see that you made some new friends," Wallace said releasing Lisia from the hug, "Yeah this is Demiyah and Neesha," she said, "Oh and I can't forget Togepi," she added. "Well it's nice to meet you Demiyah I saw your battle on TV and I have to say I can't wait until you reach Hoenn," Wallace said. "It's nice to meet you as well," Demiyah said, "Lisia said that she was going to teach me the ropes after I get my outfit," Wallace smiled, "That's my niece for you always willing to give tips, but with your combinations all you need is a way to make them shine," he said.
Deciding to follow his niece and her friends, Wallace lead them to one of the fields, "So for a contest, it is normally one Pokémon for every Coordinator, and at times it is a two Pokémon contest," Lisia began. "This here is my Altaria, Ali," she said presenting her Pokémon, "Wow never seen an Altaria before," Demiyah said pointing her gauntlet at it.
Altaria, the Humming Pokémon. Altaria dances and wheels through the sky among billowing, cotton-like clouds. By singing melodies in its crystal-clear voice, this Pokémon makes its listeners experience dreamy wonderment.
"Watch me then you can choose a Pokémon and try it yourself," Lisia said, "Alistart off with Dragon Dance then Feather Dance and follow up with Dragon Meteor," she called out and watching Demiyah and Neesha were amazed at the performance. "So howpick your Pokemon and try," Lisia said and mentally going through her Pokemon Demiyah called out, "Claws out Rogue," Wallace raised an eyebrow, "I saw it on TV but I do not know what region it's from," he states. "Rogue here is from the Kalos Region," Demiyah explained, "I found her as an egg in a create that washed up on the shores of Pallet Town." After explaining what she wanted Rogue to do, the feline Pokémon was all for it, "Great now that you have your moves down you should be good to go," Lisia told her, "Thanks for the help," Demiyah told the experienced Coordinator giving her a hug not seeing Neesha's frown.
The next day, Neesha was sitting in the front row while Lisia and Wallace, both hiding their looks so that they would not draw attention, sat next to her. "So you like Demiyah don't you," Lisia suddenly said, "I don't know what you're talking about," Neesha said hoping that she would drop it, "Please I saw the look you gave me when Demiyah gave me that hug yesterday," Lisia said. "Alright I like her more than a friend but I'm too scared to say anything," Neesha admits, "Well just keep doing what you're doing right now and you'll have her soon," Lisia assured the girl.
"Welcome one and all to the Orange Islands first Pokémon Contest," the announcer told the crowd, "Let me explain how this works for the first part of the Contest it will be a performance round where the Coordinators will present their Pokémon in a beautiful and spectacular way. Then from those who pass it will be the battle round where Coordinators will add style in their battles until the winner is decided," she explained. "And now it's time to present our judges; first off is the founder of the Pokémon Contest is Mr. Contesta," the first person to step up is a male in a red suit with a white long sleeve shirt underneath. "Following Mr. Contesta is the president of the Pokémon Fan Club Mr. Sukizo," the shorter male standing next to Mr. Contesta is garbed in a blue suit with the same white long sleeve underneath. "And finally Kinnow Island's own Nurse Joy," Nurse Joy garbed in her usual nurse outfit waved to the crowd, "And with myself, Catherine, as your presenter let's get this Contest underway."
In the break room, Demiyah was calming her nerves, "Come on girl think of this as the Pokémon League," she muttered to herself and after a couple more deep breaths, "Ms. Ketchum it's your turn," an attendant announced, "Showtime," the Kanto Champion muttered to herself.
"And here's a special treat for you all, our next Coordinator is the Champion of Kanto herself Demiyah Ketchum," Catherine declared and stepping out everyone went wild. "Claws out Rouge," she called out, "And start things off with Shadow Ball three times," seeing things going off well Demiyah continued, "Now cut them with Dark Scythe then release a Thunder Wave," everyone was in awe at the dark sparks emitted. "Now that shows that even a Champion trainer can even beautiful," Catherine presented and with one final curtsy Demiyah returned to the Break Room, and in the stands Demiyah's friends were discussing the performance, "That was certainly an amazing performance that's for sure," Wallace admitted, "Yeah her performance really was," Neesha said.
"Now with all of our Coordinators' performances discussed and calculated it's time to see who is making it into the battle round," Catherine broadcasted and looking at the big screen it revealed that the out of the many that performed only eight were allowed to proceed and out of those eight Demiyah was one of them. "Alright now our eight Coordinators we will now see who gets to battle who," Catherine declared and seeing the profile images start to shuffle it ended only after a minute has passed Demiyah's picture is placed next to a male with spiky haired male. "And our first battle is Demiyah vs Rocky Smith," Catherine declared.
Stepping to her side of the field, Demiyah took this time to scan her opponent seeing Rocky wearing shorts and an unbuttoned shirt she saw him smirk causing Demiyah to roll her eyes. "Coordinators present your Pokémon," Catherine asked, "Machoke show her what a man can do," once again Demiyah rolled her eyes, "Boreas take flight," she called out revealing her Pidgeot, "Five minutes on the clock go," Catherine said starting the match.
"Machoke Focus Blast," Rocky ordered, "Dodge with Agility and let's go with the combination Whirlwind Blitz," Demiyah directed; and dodging the first attack Boreas flapped his wings creating a hurricane that slowly lifted the Fighting-type off the ground then with a combination of Agility, Wing Attack, Quick Attack, and Aerial Ace Machoke was taken out. "Oh my and in only a minute thirty seconds Demiyah wins the match," Catherine said amazed, "Well, to be honest, I've been combining moves for as long as I can remember," Demiyah admitted, "It keeps my opponent on his/her toes," she added. With her friends, Neesha nodded, "She's right I've seen her pull combinations on the top of her head and with practice can do it with ease," she explained. After the next three battles finished, Demiyah was back on stage and this time she was facing a female wearing a one-piece swimsuit and shorts with a jacket over it.
Once Catherine started the time her opponent, Emma if she remembered, revealed her chosen Pokémon, "Lopunny take the stage," she called out and once the Pokémon was revealed everyone saw something wrapped around her ear, "So she can Mega evolve," Ash muttered, "Battle stance Sawk," she yelled out revealing her Pokémon. Once Catherine announced the battle to begin Emma went straight for his necklace, "Mega Evolution in gage," she called out, "And right off the bat Emma Mega Evolves her Lopunny," Catherin stated. "Lopunny Fire Punch," Emma ordered, "Duck under while using Focus Energy then use Close Combat," Demiyah countered causing Emma's eyes to widen but it was too late as Lopunny was sent tumbling back. "Lopunny get in there and use Low Sweep," Emma shouted, "Sawk Earthquake then follow it up with Stone Edge go in and use Focus Blast," Demiyah countered. Unable to focus thanks to the shaking ground the Normal-type Pokémon was unable to defend itself from the small pieces of earth and was finally knocked out by the final attack. "And just like that Demiyah takes another clean victory," Catherine cried out, "That's my girl go Demiyah," Neesha shouted with a grin on her face, "I take it you love to see her compete?" Wallace asked, "Yeah seeing her happy out there, even keeping her eyes on me, is wonderful," Neesha explained.
"And now here we are in the finals," Catherine announced, "This battle will decide who will get the first Ribbon of the Orange Islands. On my left is the redhead tomboy Rika," stepping into the spotlight Demiyah saw that Rika was her height wearing a red backless dress that goes down her knees, "And to my right is the winner of the Kanto League Demiyah Ketchum," approaching the spotlight she was dressed her Priestess outfit. "Now Coordinators reveal your Pokémon," Catherine announced.
"Blaziken let's do this," Rika shouted revealing her Pokémon, "Golisopod deploy," Demiyah called out, and once Catherine called for the match to start Rika made the first move. "Blaze Kick Blaziken," the redhead directed, "Sword Stance to block then retaliate with Fury Blade," Demiyah issued; Sword Stance is Sword Dance and Razor Shell but it was used in a defensive position. Taking the kick with stride, Golisopod returned the attack by coating his bigger claws with water and sending slash after slash with Blaziken taking each hit, "Blaziken Flame Charge to protect yourself," Rika ordered and with this move Blaziken halted Golisopod's attack. "Use Stone Edge as a distraction then use Flame Charge," Rika listed, "Dodge with Surf then use Aerial Blade," Demiyah shouted; riding on a huge wave Golisopod dodged the piercing stones and getting behind the Fire/Fighting-type and sliced said Pokémon ending the fight. "And the winner of the Kinnow Island Contest is Demiyah Ketchum," Catherine broadcasted over the cheering crowd.
I'm going to end this chapter so I hope you enjoy it and Happy Thanksgiving.
