The Celadon Contest,

Meeting Solana

And Back at the pokemon reserve

The gang was in a pickle the next day after the Lavender Contest; they found out that a pokemon contest was held in Celadon City but it was tomorrow. May feared there was no way they could get to the pokemon contest on time. But Ash had an idea; he suggested they rode on his Pidgeot, Fearow and Dragonite and fly to get to Celadon City. The others thought that was a good idea; it would be quicker to get to Celadon City by air than by foot. So Ash and Tomo rode on Dragonite with Pikachu and Growlithe, May and Max rode on Pidgeot and Brock rode on Fearow. Thanks to Ash's idea the gang made it to Celadon City on time to sign up for the contest. Max thought riding on a  pokemon was a great way to travel.

Since the contest wasn't until tomorrow, the gang decided to hang out in Celadon City. That was when May suggested they visited the perfume shop. "I heard they have the best perfume in the entire world" she said. "It's true, their perfume is nice," said Ash "I brought one for my mum when I was last here in Celadon City and mum loved it a lot. In fact she orders perfume from this city now". So everyone went to visit the perfume shop. Erika and her workers were happy to see Ash and Brock again, and they greeted Tomo, May and Max. "I'm actually glad that you've come here to enter the  pokemon contest Ash because I will be participating in it" said Erika. "Are you really Erika?" asked Ash, in surprise. "Yes so you better be ready in case we have to face each other" said Erika. "I look forward to that," said Ash "after all it has been a few years since we last battled each other". "What made you decide to enter a  pokemon contest?" asked Brock. "Well you won't believe this, but a lot of fans of my perfume have been hoping that I would enter the contest here in Celadon City," said Erika "so I decided to enter it to not disappoint my fans". Brock understood. Just then Erika's Gloom came out from behind the counter and so did a Bellossom. "Hey a Bellossom," said Ash "is this yours Erika?" "Yes I caught this Bellossom a few months ago" answered Erika. "That's not the only new  pokemon Erika has," said one of the workers "she also has a Chikorita, a Bayleef and a Meganium". "And a Hoppip, Skiploom and Jumpluff" said another worker. "And a Sunkern and Sunflora" said a third worker. So Erika had obtained new  pokemon since the last time she saw Ash. "Well Ash I look forward to tomorrow" said Erika. "So do I Erika" said Ash.

The next day was the pokemon contest. Five of Erika's workers were sitting in the audience seats with Brock, Tomo and Max. "It will be great seeing the gym leader of Celadon Gym enter a pokemon contest" said Max, excitedly. "I can't wait to see Ash battle Erica since I didn't see him battle her at the gym" said Tomo; after all he wasn't with the gang at that time. The contest now started and Lilian showed off the Celadon ribbon, which was the same designed ribbon as Ash's Lavender ribbon and it was a forest green color with a lighter green outline.

The appeal rounds started and Erika was up first and she sent out her Bellossom. "Bellossom start things off with Magical leaf". Bellossom fired leaves about. "Now use leaf blade". Bellossom used leaf blade to cut the leaves to shreds. "Now finish off with a little stun spore". Bellossom sprayed a little stun spore to make a finish. "Wow Erika made good work of that with Bellossom" said Max. "Well she is a grass type gym leader, so I think she would" said Tomo. Next up was Ash and he used, to everyone's surprise, Celebi. The crowd and judges were surprised to see Celebi, and Erika's workers were speechless. "Wow I have heard of Celebi," said one of the workers "but I never thought I would see one for real". "I never thought that anybody would own a Celebi" said another worker. Brock, Tomo and Max found it amusing of everyone getting surprised of seeing Ash's Celebi. "Celebi start off with safeguard" said Ash. Celebi glowed green and she started to fly around like she was dancing. "Now magical leaf and then confusion". Celebi scattered some leaves and used confusion to twirl them around her while she still danced. And then she landed on Ash's right hand to finish. The audience clapped and cheered loudly for Ash and Celebi. After that it was May's turn and she used Butterfree. "Butterfree use stun spore poison powder and sleep powder" she said. Butterfree created a wave of orange, purple and blue pollen. "Hey that's like what Jeremy did in the Silver Town contest," said Max "except he didn't use sleep powder that time". "May must have decided to do something based on that" said Brock. "Now use confusion Butterfree" said May. Butterfree used confusion to spin the wave of orange, purple and blue pollen around and it looked like a painting. The audience loved it.
