Chapter 12: Defending the Crown

Hey guys, thanks for all the reads and I'm really grateful, thanks for the votes, and if you want you can follow... 

Anyway, I have gotten no suggestions on a next book, so I may be doing another reader x pokemon character, if so which character? Thanks again. 

Continuing from the last chapter...

You woke early in the morning to Evee jumping on you as you finally got up, checking the clock, it was 6 am. It's not like you weren't used to sleeping late and getting up early, but you felt really tired. You decided to refresh yourself with some ice cold water and then get ready for the upcoming showcase.

As you got your makeup done, you received a text from Coraline to go to the nearby landing pad at 8:00, and you texted Leon, Sonia, Hop, and Raihan the location and time before finishing your makeup. After packing your stuff in a duffel bag, and leaving the rest of your stuff in the room (because you were going to come back after the showcase) and went to your room to get your backpack that you brought with you everywhere, a gift you had gotten the day you became a trainer. Ash and Serena were also ready and Serena offered to cook breakfast that you thanked her for.

"Hey sleepyhead, get up," you said as you nudged your brother awake. "We have to catch a flight, come on kid. Ash and Serena are already up."

"Okayyyyyy.... fine," Anthony said as he stretched and got out of bed.

After eating breakfast, you went to the forest to briefly practice your performance again with Dragonite, Togekiss, and Evee, you went to get them checked at the pokemon center, keeping their pokeballs in your pocket.

At the assigned time, you met with Sonia, Hop, Anthony, Serena, Ash, and Leon at the jet. Serena reassured you with a smile, and you smiled back.

"Serena, I really hope you are going to be the one to challenge me." you said, breaking the silence. "It's gonna be really fun if that's the case."

"I hope I will be." She said.

"Don't worry girl, you got this," you said. "You are awesome at performances."

But before she could reply, Coraline interrupted. "Miss Y/n, there is a crowd, if you get caught up, you won't be able to get there in time." You had dealt with this before. 

"Alright Coraline" you said. "You can land the jet, and I'll get out and go through the back entrance. Come on guys," you said. Ash and Serena offered to ride Ash's Charizard and lend his Dragonite to Anthony (who left all his pokeballs behind except his Greninja's), while Leon rode his Charizard, Raihan and Sonia rode Flygon, leaving you to ride your Charizard to prevent having another embarassing moment with Leon, and making Dragonite tired.

After opening the door midair, you and your friends flew off and ran through the back entrance before the crowd caught up. Backstage, you removed your belt and changed into your royal performance clothes, and your tiara. Taking out Dragonite, Evee, and Togekiss next to you, you smiled at them warmly.

You sat on the balcony watching the crowd and the performers with their freestyle performances. You knew Serena already had her 3 princess keys, and she won the first and second rounds, meaning she would be challenging you. After that, you walked to the top of the stairs with your pokemon beside you, placing your tiara on the pillow as Klefki took it. Serena awaited your arrival.

As the spotlight shone on you, you smiled as Monsieur Pierre announced your arrival to the crowd cheering. First, you watched Serena perform with Delphox, Pancham and Slyveon. Then it was your turn. You danced gracefully, telling your pokemon to do moves, and flying in the air with your pokemon, having a lot of fun while competing. Afterwards, you and Serena stood before the crowd, as people voted for the Kalos Queen.

Taking a deep breath, as the sky blue sparkles floated to your key, you smiled at the crowd with your signature smile. After the votes were in, Monsieur Pierre announced the winner, who was...

YOU!!!!

You had Defended the Crown, as the crowd cheered for you. Klefki placed the tiara on you head as the crowd cheered louder. After shaking Serena's hand, you gave a small speech to the crowd, thanking them for their support in your performing and your singing career. 

Exiting backstage, Serena gave you a confident smile, and your returned it. As your friends met you there, they congratulated you and Serena. As Hop jumped around, you sighed, wondering how the kid always had so much energy. Leon hugged you tight, to which you blushed at as your friends giggled. After a while of waiting, you and your friends exited the backstage room, on your pokemon to meet the jet flying you back to Galar. 

After the flight, you waved goodbye to your friends and went with Ash, Serena, and Anthony back to the hotel room to spend the night before spending tomorrow battling to get into a higher class. After eating dinner and feeding your pokemon, you immediately fell asleep, tired after a long day.

That's chapter 12!!! Thanks for reading, pls vote and comment, and follow! It always helps so much!! Until the next chapter!
