Chapter hundred -twelve

green trousers and white shoes. Zoey was tomboyish. Dawn introduced herself to Zoey while Zoey fixed up her hair. "Since you have that first time vibe, I can tell this is your first contest" said Zoey. Dawn asked Zoey if she had entered any contests yet and won any ribbons. Zoey said she had entered three contests and won one ribbon and showed it to Dawn. Zoey had a yellow-gold ribbon case and her ribbon was pink with white outlines. "Well now it will be my turn to win" said Dawn. "Yeah well break a leg and I'll see you in the finals" said Zoey. With her hair fixed, Dawn was now ready for the contest.

By now the contest had begun. The presenter for the pokemon contests in Sinnoh was a woman named Marian. Marian was a cousin of Vivian and Lillian, which was why she nearly looked like them but without a mole. The judges were Raoul Contesta and Mr Suziko and Jubilife City's Nurse Joy; just like Hoenn and Kanto. Marian showed off the Jubilife Ribbon; it was aqua blue with white outlines. In the waiting room Dawn turned up. "There you are, you're late Dawn" said Ash. "I know I had trouble with my hair" said Dawn. "Figures" said Tomo.

Then the preliminary round started. Zoey was first and she called out a Misdreavus. Her catch phrase for contests was 'curtain' and the seal on Misdreavus's capsule ball was a smoke seal, so Misdreavus appeared in a puff of purple-grey smoke. Misdreavus did double team, while still surrounded by the smoke, and created a spooky shadow silhouette in the smoke. "Wow that brings out the spookiness of Misdreavus since it's a ghost type pokemon" said Ash, who was impressed. "Zoey is good at being a coordinator" agreed Brock. Then Misdreavus used confuse ray, which broke the smoke apart and revealed Misdreavus, and then it used shock wave and showed how strong its electric move was. To finish Zoey posed and Misdreavus landed on top of her hand. Dawn didn't take her eyes off for a second.

After Zoey there was a Rapidash, a Beautifly, a Scyther, a Buizel, a Bidoof and a Weepinbell. "Now here's a coordinator who everyone has seen in contests from the Hoenn region and Kanto region," said Marian "and he became runner up in the Kanto Grand Festival give it up for Ash Ketchum". The crowd cheered loudly once Ash got on the stage; they had seen him in his past contests and grand festivals on TV. Ash sent out his female Aipom. He had a star seal on his capsule ball so Aipom was surrounded in multi-coloured stars. Aipom started off with swift and the stars broke the stars from the seal, creating hundreds of yellow particles. Next she did double team to created multiple copies of herself and used focus punch to destroy her copies. To finish she spun around like she was dancing and balanced on her tail to pose. "Wow Ash is good at this," said Dawn "no wonder he became runner up at the Kanto Grand Festival". "Just relax Dawn and have a good time out there" said Brock.

Next up was Dawn's turn and she sent out Piplup. Her catch phrase was 'spotlight' and her capsule ball had a bubble seal, so Piplup came out with a lot of bubbles. Dawn told Piplup to use bubblebeam, and Piplup's bubbles pushed the seal's bubbles into the air. The Piplup used peck, making his beak grow big, to peck all the bubbles very quickly and created white particles after all the bubbles burst. To finish Dawn curtsied and Piplup puffed with pride. Johanna, who was watching on TV back at Twinleaf Town, thought it wasn't bad but it was still a little stiff to her. So Dawn still had much work to do.

Soon the preliminary round was over and Dawn collapsed on the floor. She had been nervous all that time. Ash offered his hand to help her get back up. "Come on Dawn," he said "it's too soon to be relieved. We still need to get through the battle rounds". Just then the final results of who will proceed to the battle round came up on the screen. Only eight coordinators could go through to the battle rounds and Zoey, Dawn and Ash were three of them. Then the cards of the coordinators shuffled around and the result was Ash had to battle Zoey first. Zoey and Ash turned to each other. "I'll be showing you the difference between a contest battle and a gym battle" she said sternly to Ash, and she left. Dawn didn't like how coldly she treated Ash just because he did both gyms and contests. "Ash?" she said, worriedly. "Don't worry Dawn," said Ash "I learnt a lot of tricks from gym battles in the past, and Pikachu and I will be showing Zoey what we've learnt". "Pikachu" agreed Pikachu. Then Ash and Pikachu left for the stage.
