Pokémon World: Adventure through Hoenn

Chapter 11: Impromptu Contest

After a long boat ride, we have finally arrived in Slateport City. Jonny and I have said our goodbyes and best wishes to Mr. Briney and Peeko. We are currently staying here at the Pokémon Center. With the many coordinators gathered here for the contest, Jonny and I were forced to stay in one room. Well this is just awkward.

"Hmm...Milani, I hope you're really okay with us sharing a room." Jonny spoke up.

"I don't really have a choice." I really didn't want this to happen. He would see drool and stuff. Drew also told me that I snore. This is soooo excellent.

"You know it's not yet that dark, how about we have a battle? I got this new Pokémon back in Dewford Island, and I really want to test him out."

"Sure."

Jonny and I went outside the Center to have our Pokémon battle. Finding a location was hard since the fields were mostly used by coordinators preparing for the contest tomorrow. We ended up in a beach, though we were informed that it was a private beach for the people staying at the resort. Great. We then went to some place near some fireworks workshop. After all the searching, we finally found a decent place to have our battle.

"Ok, Milani. Are you ready?" Jonny asked.

"Of course."

"Ok! Meditite, I choose you!"

"Beautifly, it's time to shine!"

"Meditite, use Hidden Power!"

"Beautifly, dodge that and use Gust!" The Hidden Power attack, however, hit Beautifly, but the Gust attack also hit Meditite.

"Ok Meditite, use Confusion!"

"Beautifly, use String Shot to immobilize Meditite!"

"Meditite, Confusion on the String Shot!" The threads formed by Beautifly were now by turned against her.

"Beautifly, use Silver Wind!" The strings were cut by the Silver Wind, adding an extra effect to the move.

"Meditite, Detect!" Meditite managed to protect himself from the Silver Wind attack.

"Beautifly, now use Tackle!" Beautifly went straight to Meditite.

"Use Confusion on Beautifly!" I knew this would happen.

"Beautifly! Surround Meditite using Gust! Now combine it with Silver Wind!" Similar to the gym battle, Meditite was trapped in a silver tornado. Meditite is unable to battle.

"Looks like you won this time, Milani."

"Thanks."

"That was absolutely gorgeous!" A weird man approached me and took my hand. "Please tell me you are entering the Slateport City Contest." Ok...this is weird. He sounds weird. He looks weird. I mean, seriously. Is he dressed up like a Cacturne?

"Uh...no." I answered.

"Come on, hun! With techniques like that you can definitely win the contest. Registration is still open until tomorrow morning."

"I guess I can enter, but I plan on going to Mauville City tomorrow. You see, I'm a Pokémon trainer who specializes in gym battles, not contests."

"You're wasting your talents, girl! I say you give up those gym battles and start entering contests."

"I'm sorry, but I think I should decide what I want to do for myself, and I have decided that I want to compete in gym battles. Besides, I don't even know you." This guy is getting annoying. Why is he telling me what to do? I mean, I come from a coordinating family, but I was never forced to enter contests. Ugh...somebody help me please.
