X and Y a Different Story

Episode 4 - Show Casing In The Moonlight

Ash nodded; he was sitting on a rock along the pond with the other Pokémon.

"OK, one, two, three!" She said, then she began her routine.

Espeon was standing in front, with Umbreon in second, then Chelsea was behind her in third. Umbreon used Moonlight, which caused the moon to shine bright in the sky, this caused the yellow rings on Umbreon's body to make a huge flash behind Espeon to emphasize her shape.

Following that, Umbreon jumped high in the air and used a Shadow Ball at Espeon. Espeon used Physic and tore Umbreon's Shadow Ball apart causing it to rain black, purple specks all around, and while Umbreon was still glowing brightly the black and purple rain made it a large contrast; she landed next to Espeon in a flashy pose.

Chelsea then jumped through the glow and rain towards the front with a fancy tumble, which she stood right up out of with her back to the audience. Her hair was now down and bouncing with curls, she had her hands on her hips with one hip popped out to one side; suddenly, she began to levitate and Espeon and Umbreon walked under her to the front again.

Umbreon jumped and used Bite on Chelsea's hair, causing Chelsea to swing around; and in one motion Umbreon and Chelsea turned around with Umbreon coming to land in the front, it was almost in slow motion Chelsea looked so calm. As Umbreon came around Chelsea leaned back, kicking one leg up, and spun around on one foot; her arms were also hanging down. When Umbreon let go, Chelsea was unfazed. Her hair swung, in the air throwing the dark flecks that landed in it, Chelsea's hazel eyes stood out like stars, against the lights and different contrasts in colors.

Espeon then used Psybeam, and Umbreon used another Shadow Ball on it causing it to explode, causing a rain of sparkles to shower down on them. Espeon's fur shined along with the ruby on her head, and Umbreon still glowed from the Moonlight to close.

"TA DA!" Chelsea said finishing it.

Ash stared with his mouth agape, he doesn't remember ever seeing her perform before, unless he snuck up on her. He thought she looked great, but he wasn't sure what to do; the other Pokémon started to clap and cheer.

Chelsea smiled, "Thank you," She looked at Ash, he was still just staring at her. "Is everything ok?" She took a step back and turned away, she was super embarrassed and began to feel really stupid. "Never mind," She said shaking her head, "it was a really dumb routine anyway."

Ash snapped out it. "No, wait, it wasn't bad at all!" He said then jumped up. "You all looked great; it was an amazing routine."

Chelsea peeked back at Ash, "Really?" She said then looked at Espeon and Umbreon. "Yeah, they were really great." Chelsea still felt really stupid, she wasn't a very confident person. She acted confidently in front of people, but really underneath it all, she was very subconscious about herself.

"Chelsea?" Ash said trying to get her attention. He had a tight knot in his gut, like he was minutes from battling a gym leader. He had no idea why they felt like this.

She looked back at him, "Yeah?" She answered.

His brain went all fuzzy, "You did great, I think you should do that routine in the next show," He suggested.

Chelsea smiled, "Really?" She asked with an excited tone.

Ash nodded, "Yeah."

Chelsea's smile got bigger, "OK I will," She cheered, then she let out a big yawn. "Oops, I guess I'm really tired."

Ash chuckled then also yawned, "Ahh, yeah me too. How about we call it a day?"

Chelsea reached around and grabbed her pokeballs, "Ok guys, it's time for bed," she said calling all her Pokémon back.
