My Kalos King (KalosKingShipping)

Attention Grabber

Warning

This will be a shorter chapter because I want the dance to be a full chapter event that's more planned out.

"Because of the dance occurring tonight, the gym had to be closed but I'm looking to have one battle right now." Valerie looks around at the crowd below her.

Ash and Sawyer's hands instantly shoot up among the very few battlers in the crowd. "I really want to battle Valerie for my gym badge!" Sawyer exclaims.

"I thought you were shy," Bonnie raises an eyebrow at him. "Most shy people don't want to battle in front of a crowd this big where everyone will be cheering really loud for the person who isn't you."

"I never thought of that," Sawyer panics and drops his hand quickly.

"You right there, let's battle!" Valerie smirks in the direction of the group. "The red hatted one."

"Sweet!" Ash cheers and box jumps his way onto the short catwalk. The raven haired trainer looks at his opponent with a confident smirk but a flash of pink causes him to look past the fairy type trainer.

He blinks and whatever he saw is gone. Ash shakes his head and grabs a Pokeball to start off the battle. "Are you okay with a single battle format, one Pokémon only?" Valerie asks.

"It'll be short but you're probably busy," Ash shrugs. "So it's fine by me."

He smiles and puts away the Pokeball previously grabbed. "How about we show everyone what we can do?" Ash says to Pikachu.

The yellow mouse nods and jumps off Ash's shoulder. "Is that the famous Pikachu who fell off of Prism Tower?" Valerie questions before realizing who the random guy from the crowd happened to be. You can tell her connection to Pokémon is strong when she can remember a Pokémon's face before a human's.

"Famous?" Ash sweat drops. "More like clumsy."

"Pikaaa," The electric type gives his trainer a warning spark.

"Sorry," Ash chuckles. "And yea I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and Pikachu is basically a brother to me now because of his long we've been together. Also known as that trainer who jumped off of a tower in Lumiose City to save a yellow Pokémon."

"This will be fun," Valerie smirks and spins to release her pokemon. She stops halfway once noticing her best friend's eyes peeking out from behind the curtain. "But we need a referee to make this official."

"Ariana can you come referee this battle?" She asks Aria who's still in the outfit she modelled which disguises her we'll enough to prevent an outbreak of fans.

The pink haired girl looks at Valerie in shock before walking out nervously. The gym leader looks at the girl who's performed for the whole region but is afraid to referee a battle. "Something is going on," Valerie mutters before opening her wings wide to show a Pokeball. "Spritzee show your elegance in battle."

The small pink feathery puff of a Pokémon comes flying out.
