1. Ash's Story (Part 7: Kalos)

Chapter 11

Now we are at Camphrier Town, we meet up with Shauna again. Shauna says, "Serena! I saw it! Your Pokevision Video! You and Fennekin have been awesome in that video that I've been a fan of ever since I saw it!"

"Oh, wow. Thanks." Serena is now slightly blushing. "So I guess you have your own videos as well?"

"Of course. I've made a whole bunch! Especially now with Bulbasaur." Shauna says. "But since you're here, have you heard this? Aria's going to do an exhibition performance at the Pokemon Showcase in this Camphrier Town!"

"Really? Aria is here. That's awesome." I say.

"Her Pokevision videos are great. Not to mention she's the top performer, the Kalos Queen!" Elline says.

"I can't wait to see her." Serena says.

In the theater, we are now sitting at the stands as they are going to watch how the Showcase is doing. Clemont says, "I can't wait to see all the Pokemon perform!"

"Will there be a bunch of different Pokemon?" David asks.

"Lots of them." Shauna says.

And it seems that both Samurott and Chespin pop out of their Pokeball as well as they want to watch as well, and we don't know what to say about them...

Just then, the lights are glowing and a man appears on the stage. He says, "Bonjours, Pokemon lovers, and welcome. I am your humble host, Monsieur Pierre. Prepare yourselves for a competition magnifique. And now, The Camphrier Town Pokemon Showcase will amaze starting things off with our Rookie Class Division."

Everyone cheers, and he says, "But first, our reigning Kalos Queen Mademoiselle Aria, has agreed to put on an exhibition performance for one and all."

Just then, Aria's Braixen appears and shows off its gracefulness. It goes for Fire Spin, and then Aria herself appears on the stage. Braixen throws the branch to Aria, who throws it back to Braixen, landing it on Braixen's head. Using Fire Blast, Aria and Braixen end the show.

"Another stunning performance from our Kalos Queen! Mademoiselle Aria!" Pierre says.

"Perfect!" "Such precise moves!" "She's so great!"

In my Scarlet form, I'm also backstage watching the performance, after Aria has finished, she approaches me and says, "And I wondering who it is, if it isn't Scarlet?"

I smirk back at her and says, "Good to see you again, Aria. I admit that is a nice performance."

"I don't think it is enough after all." Aria says. "But I am looking forward to seeing how you go in this showcase, considering you are her grandson who is able to be male or female at the same time."

I sigh as I remember how we met Aria once when our grandma showed her performances to us. And then we also reveal the truth of how we are Arceus and how we can have both genders to her. I say, "Right now I'm a girl, and my boy self is probably in the audience right now. Just so you know, my Pokemon and I have been training a lot, and I won't hesitate to hold back."

"Alors, now that everyone is all revved up and ready to go, let's finally begin with the theme performances!" Pierre says as everyone is surprised to see 3 giant screens and four arrows on the ground. Shauna says, "You see, Pokemon Showcases consist of two stages, this is the first stage, which is the Theme Performance. Each of them is different, like this one, it is the Step-Dancing Performance."

As we watch the 3 performers trying to keep up with the glowing arrows, David says, "Looks like the performers need to step on these arrows so that they can get a score for each one...it really shows the balance and the quick reacting."
