[5] The Daughter of Nurse Joy: Battle Frontier

Wisteria Contest

The gang (Cora, Alain and Mairin) arrived on Potpourri Island and were at Wisteria Town, where Cora and May could enter the next Pokémon contest. This would be Cora's last ribbon to get. For May, it would be her third. The two girls were able to sign up with no problem. Both were nervous but were confident that they'll do great.

This time May was going to enter with her Squirtle and Munchlax and Cora decided to enter with Momo (Pink Butterfree) and Yuki (Meowstic).

But the gang wasn't the only ones there, Harley was there too. Harley asked Cora and May how many ribbons and they showed off their ribbons. When he saw May's ribbons he just simply said, in insult, that she needed some catching up. But when he saw that Cora had four, he couldn't believe his eyes and found it unfair. Harley did his usual boasting that he was going to win, which of course made May mad, but she declared that she would show him.

=====

It was soon time for the Wisteria Contest. Lilian gave the usual introductions and showed off the Wisteria Ribbon; it was orange with a lighter outline, and it was the same shape as the ribbons from Hoenn.

=====

Then it was time for the appeal rounds and May was up first with Squirtle. Squirtle started off by spinning horizontally with Rapid Spin and blew some bubbles. The bubbles spun around the same way that Squirtle was doing. Then he blew Ice Beam, which burst all the bubbles and created an icy fountain.

=====

Then it was Cora's turn, she brought out Momo, "Okay Momo, use Stun Spore and Sleep Powder!"

Momo released a blue and orange powder from her wings.

"Double Team!" Momo created copies of herself, "Now Energy Ball!"

The Energy Ball clashed against each other, combined with the powders, creating colorful fireworks.

=====

After Cora, was a trainer with Rhydon, then a trainer with Camerupt and a trainer with Machamp and trainer with Magneton. Next up was Harley using his Ariados. Ariados used Spider Web, creating webs all over, and then Ariados swung from web to web using Scary Face.

"Does Harley always have to do scary or creepy performances?" Mairin asked, creeped out with a sweat drop on her forehead.

"I think scary or creepy performances are the only type of performances that he likes doing." Brock replied.

"Not to mention that he's partly creepy himself." Alain commented.

"True." Mairin and Max agreed.

=====

After the preliminary round was over, eight trainers made it to the battle rounds and Cora, May and Harley were three of them. They easily defeated their opponents with little to no trouble.

It wasn't long then till Harley and May had to face each other in the finals. May started off by telling her Munchlax to use Thunder Punch, but Octillery dodged it and jumped onto Munchlax's face using Constrict. Munchlax tried to get Octillery off, but it was no good. Octillery then used Octazooka on Munchlax and May lost a lot of points. May told Munchlax to use Solar Beam, but before Munchlax could release the beam Octillery used Sludge Bomb and stopped the attack.

May was in trouble and she told Munchlax to use Metronome. Of course, May had no idea what the metronome move would do; but since she was in a pinch, she had no choice. Luckily for her and Munchlax though, the Metronome move became Thunder and Octillery was hit badly from it. Harley was not happy with what happened, and he told Octillery to heal up with Rest. May ordered her Munchlax to use Tackle, and then Focus Punch and then Thunder Punch. But those three attacks weren't enough to defeat Octillery. Octillery woke up and then fired Octazooka at Munchlax, and poor Munchlax was knocked out from that move.

With that outcome, Harley was the winner of this round. He would be going up against Cora next.

=====

Cora and Harley were going against each other, again. Cora was pretty sure that Harley was happy with this outcome. She was positive that Harley wanted revenge from the Dark Contest.

Harley let out his Octillary while Cora let out Yuki (Meowstic).

"Octillary, Sludge Bomb!" Octillary fires multiple globs of brown sludge from its mouth.

"Psychic and redirect it!" Yuki's eyes glow blue, and the Sludge Bomb was stopped, and Yuki threw it back at Octillary who cried out in pain.

"Octillary!" Harley cried out, "Alright then, try this! Octillary, use Water Pulse!"

Octillary's eyes glow light blue, and a light blue orb of energy appears in front of its mouth. It then fires the orb at Yuki.

"Yuki, Psyshock!" Yuki forms a purple orb of energy in one of her hands. She then fires three dark purple beams of energy from the orb at Octillary's Water Pulse which breaks apart and hits Octillary who cried out in pain.

"Now, Thunderbolt!" Yuki launched her electrical attack, and it hit Octillary, causing it to faint.

That meant that Cora was the winner of the match. Harley was steaming with anger. With a huff, Harley returned Octillary and left. 

=====

And so, Cora was the winner, and she received the Wisteria ribbon, making it her fifth ribbon. May was a bit disappointed at not being able to win her next ribbon again, but she was determined to do better in the next contest. 

=====

When the contest was all over with, Lilian came up to the gang and gave May a flier. The flier revealed that there was a Pokémon contest at a place called Chrysanthemum Island. So that was where May and her friends decided to go for the next Pokémon contest while Cora and Alain along with their friends were going to their next Frontier battle.
