The Dark Contest,

Max's find

And The Neon Contest

Today the gang had come to where the next pokemon contest was. To Ash's surprise it was in Dark City. "It's amazing that Dark City has a pokemon contest hall," he said "I mean the last time we were here the people didn't want to involve anything with pokemon". "Yes, but that incident has been over for the past few years now so the people must have gotten over it by now" said Brock. "What incident?" ask May. Ash, Tomo and Brock told May and Max about the battle between the wannabe gym leaders Kaz and Yas and how they caused a lot of trouble in Dark City. "Wait so this Yas and Kaz had a war with each other in this city, just because one of them wanted to be a gym leader in this town?" asked Max. "That's right," said Brock "and because of that the people in this city became scared of pokemon trainers". "But thanks to us and Nurse Joy of this city we were able to stop them, and now Dark City is a peaceful place again" said Tomo. "And Yas and Kaz rebuilt all of the damage they did and stopped their quarreling" finished Ash. May and Max were amazed by this.

Suddenly the kids, who Ash, Brock and Tomo met before, ran up to the gang. "Hey Ash, Brock and Tomo" said one of them. "Hey kids," said Ash "how have you all been?" The kids explained that they had just become pokemon trainers and they had a starter pokemon. One of them had a Bulbasaur, the second a Charmander and the third a Squirtle. "Wow so you kids are trainers now," said Brock "and I'm glad to see this city is still at peace". The boys explained that Yas and Kaz abandoned their plans of becoming gym leaders and they decided to become builders with their pokemon after they repaired Dark City. "Well since they did a good job of rebuilding Dark City, I think that job suits them well rather than gym leader jobs" said Brock.

The kids led the gang to the pokemon contest hall. The hall was just outside the city and the building was made out of wood like the other buildings in the city. "When did they build the contest hall here?" asked Brock. "About a year ago," said the kids "at first we weren't sure about having a pokemon contest hall built here because of what happened with Yas and Kaz". "But after we learned what pokemon contests were, we agreed because they were nothing like pokemon gyms at all" said another kid. "It's true, they aren't like pokemon gyms at all," said Ash "and this is something that Yas and Kaz wouldn't fight over". "Absolutely" agreed Brock.

Ash and May signed up at once to enter the pokemon contest, but they weren't the only ones. Harley was there. When he saw the gang he tried to do his usual fake welcoming, but the gang ignored him. Harley was thinking in his mind that today's contest will be the great chance to defeat both May and Ash. He still had the desire to defeat them. It was clear to Ash and May that they would have to face Harley again, but they weren't going to let him win that easily.

Soon it was time for the pokemon contest. Lilian did the usual introductions and showed off the Dark Ribbon. The ribbon was brown with a liter brown outline, and it was a bow ribbon like you see on presents. The kids were sitting in the audience seat with Brock, Tomo and Max. "Have you kids been watching the contests ever since this hall was built?" asked Brock. "Yes we love watching them" said one of the kids. "We especially love to see the cool tricks the pokemon do" said another kid. It made Brock happy to know that the people in Dark City liked pokemon and pokemon trainers now.

The appeal rounds were on the way and Ash was up first. He called out Golduck and told him to use bubble beam. After Golduck blew bubbles he burst them with mega punch and then fired a hydro pump into the air. So Ash was mostly showing off Golduck's water attacks and punches. Next was May's turn and she used her Combusken for the appeal rounds using fire spin and sky uppercut. Later it was Harley's turn and he used his Banette, doing the usual scary will o wisp and scary face combination thing. After the appeal rounds were finished the board showed four trainers who made it to the battle rounds and Ash, May and Harley were three of them. The kids were enjoying themselves of watching the contest; this was better than when they saw Yas and Kaz fighting each other a couple of years ago.
