Rubello Contest,

The Pokeringer and

The Weather Institute

Today the gang made it to Rubello Town and Ash and May were practicing for the pokemon contest tomorrow. The Rubello contest had two different rules than from the previous pokemon contests; one you had to have one ribbon to enter this contest and two you had to use a different pokemon for each round. May decided to use her Beautifly and Bulbasaur and Ash decided to use his Sableye and Torkoal. "Hey May are you sure that you want to use Bulbasaur?" asked Max. "Of course I'm sure Max," said May "Bulbasaur and I have been going some things for this contest, haven't we Bulbasaur?" Bulbasaur nodded in response. Max wasn't certain if it was okay for Bulbasaur to be in the contest yet, especially since May had caught her recently.

Meanwhile Ash was practicing with Sableye and Torkoal in an open area and Tomo was watching with Pikachu and Growlithe. "What are you going to do with Sableye Ash?" asked Tomo. "Well Sableye is a ghost type pokemon and he also knows a lot of moves so we need to think of how to make look Sableye impressive," said Ash "question is how though?" "Do you need any help?" said a voice. The voice belonged to a woman with a little girl beside her. "Who are you?" asked Ash. The woman was named Savannah and the girl beside her was her daughter Sandra. "I can't believe we are talking to Ash Ketchum mum" said Sandra. Savannah explained that she and her daughter had watched him in contests. "I enter pokemon contests too," said Savanah "to tell you the truth I'll be entering the contest tomorrow as well". "So you'll be another contest rival for me then tomorrow," said Ash "you got any ribbons yet". Savannah showed Ash a red contest ribbon, with pink-red outlines. "It's the only one I've got, so if I win the contest tomorrow it will be my second ribbon" she said. "But you will have to defeat me first" smiled Ash. Savannah asked Ash again if she could help him with Sableye and Ash accepted, so Savannah and Ash practiced together.

Late afternoon, Ash and Savanah had finished their practicing and they and Tomo and Sandra went to the pokemon center to rest their pokemon. "There you are Ash," said May "where had you and Tomo been all this time?" Ash introduced Savannah and Sandra to Brock, May and Max. "Savannah will be entering the contest tomorrow too May, so you and I have a rival to deal with" Ash said. "She's not the only rival of ours that's here" said May. May explained that Drew was here and he was competing in the contest tomorrow as well. "Then we better be on our guard tomorrow then May" said Ash.

Next day it was time for the pokemon contest. Vivian did the normal speech and introductions and then she showed off the Rubello Ribbon. The Rubello Ribbon was purple with light purple outlines. Ash, May, Savannah and Drew were waiting in the waiting room, while Brock and Tomo were in the seats with Sandra. Savannah was feeling nervous and jittery, while Ash and May were feeling calm. "Don't worry about a thing Savanah," said May, calmly, "just get and have fun in the contest". "Strange for you to say that May," teased Ash "especially since you were worse than Savanah is before". May went red in the face. "Yeah well I'm not nervous this time" she argued back. Drew was just sitting calmly in the waiting room.

The appeal rounds soon started. May got to go first, before Ash, Drew and Savanah. She ordered her Beautifly to start with sunny day and then finished it off with silver wind. Next was Savanah. She ordered her Flareon to start off with fire spin and have run through the attack with tackle; Flareon ran through the fire spin attack like going through a fiery tunnel. Then she ordered Flareon to use swift and have it hit the stars with ember. It made a creation of orange-yellow stars. Next it was Ash's turn. He ordered Sableye to start things of with using multiple shadow ball attack and then struck them with shadow claw. It created a dark purple aurora. Then at last it was Drew's turn. He had his Roselia use petal dance when it came out of the pokeball; it was like a curtain of petals before Roselia's arrival.
