[4] The Daughter of Nurse Joy: Hoenn Adventure

The Rustboro Contest

While traveling through the Petalburg Forest, Cora and Alain managed to catch some new Pokémon. Cora had caught a Taillow, Treecko, Zigzagoon, Kirlia and a Wurmple while Alain caught a Taillow, Zigzagoon and a Shroomish. Mairin managed to catch a Wurmple and Ralts as well.

=======================

The gang was getting near Rustboro City. Cora was excited about her upcoming gym battle. But she was also excited for her first Pokémon Contest. At the moment, they were coming out of the Rustboro Contest Hall. Cora had just finished signing up for the Pokémon contest that was coming tomorrow. She also managed to get passes for Alain and Mairin so that they could watch the contest.

Cora chose Stella (Sylveon) for the contest who was very excited to enter the contest. The two practiced the routine until they were able to get it right.

She also caught up with Ash and Brock along with their new friends May and her younger brother, Max. The two siblings were happy to see Cora, Alain and Mairin again. Ash was surprised that Cora had won against Norman and earned a gym badge. But he told her that he would get Norman's badge soon enough. Even though May was unable to enter the contest, she and Max decided to help Janet with her performance with her Beautifly. 

========================

The next day was the start of the Rustboro Contest. The contest will start with the opening ceremony. The gang along with Janet and Chaz were in the waiting room, watching the announcement. The MC for the Contest began to announce the start of the event as he began to introduce himself and the three judges who are judging for the competition.

"The wait is over! The Rustboro Pokémon Contest is about to get underway! On the panel of judges this year, Contesta, the Director of the Contest Committee, Sukizo from the Pokémon Enthusiasts Club, and Nurse Joy from Rustboro City!" He held out a small, beautiful Ribbon, the MC announced on how the Ribbon will be won for today. "And like every year, the winner will receive this Rustboro Ribbon! Now, listen up! Anyone winning the five ribbons from the various regional Pokémon Contest will be given free automatic entry in the Pokémon Grand Festival!"

=======================

Chaz was done with his performance along with his Venomoth and Janet was done with her performance with her Beautifly along with the help of May and Max. She got a perfect score of 30 from the three judges. Now it was Cora's turn.

"Now, for the last entry in the primary judging... This is entry number 30... Cora Joy! Let's see if Cora can finish things up with a bang!" The MC said as the lights shined onto Cora.

"Stella, let's dance!" Cora released Stella the Sylveon.

"Sylveon!" Stella appeared on the stage.

"Use Magical Leaf!" Stella summoned a tornado of multiple glowing green leaves from her body.

{A/N: 'Magical Leaf' TM was given to her by her mom}

"Look at this! See how beautiful and magical these leaves twirl around Sylveon!" MC said.

"Now jump and twirl in while using Dazzling Gleam!" Stella creates a rainbow-colored sphere around her body and jumps into the tornado of glowing leaves as she twirls inside.

"Disperse!" Stella spreads her feelers which stops the tornado of leaves, and she gracefully lands on the stage as rainbow-colored glitters flutter down, making Stella shine all over.

"How beautiful! The glitters from Magical Leaf and Dazzling Gleam sprinkle down on Sylveon like diamonds! Truly magnificent! How many points does Sylveon win for this round?" The MC asked as everyone turned to the judges as they all made their decision.
