37 Chapter 34 performance and the bracke

Kash P.O.V

The next few performers go up when I hear Lucy's name called as she walks to stage and I am suprised to see her not in her usual clothes but in a nice blue and white dress, as I smile at that when she release her Milotic in the middle of the stage.

Lucy starts off with Milotic useing Safguard, then continueing with aqua ring causing rings of water revolving around the shining Pokemon while then using ice beam to hit the ground having the reflection mirroring the scene above it while finishing it off with disarming voice having the crowd cheer at the beauty coming from Milotic.

The three judges in order " Remarkable, the use of moves to enhance Milotic's natural grace and charm is a smart move , using different moves to hit the different sense makes this performance stand out" as she smiling and recalls her Pokémon and walks to me and asks

Lucy "How was I, was it to simple or ordinary to pass. I am sure I could have done better" as I hug her to calm her down

Kash "You did great I am sure you passed" as she pulls back while her whole head is red.As the performances continue as Grace comes out and I am surprised when she uses her Pokémon she just caught when Lucy starts to shutter a little

As she uses her Duskull to start with shadow sneak, while still in their she calls for her Pokémon to use confuse ray and Will-o-wisp causing a strange reaction as the shadow he is hiding becomes a rainbow colour and the balls of flame to be beautiful blue while pulse back and forth when he is coming out of the shadow instead of being the usual colour, it being a rainbow surrounding it making him glow while finishing it off with a double team then curse as all the copy's have spike appear and impale their head causing the original one to appear back to normal in the middle of the stage causing an applause.

The three judges in order " Remarkable,orginal idea of having a rainbow shadow as I have never seen such a thing before, a new use of moves that may create a new path to contest" as she walks towards me and I ask

Kash "Risky using a brand new Pokemon in a contest, and should I be happy or mad at the use of shadow sneak like I used agaisnt you the last time we met" as she only smirks at me before walking past me and Lucy getting a small growl from her and Cinder, surprising me.As for the final contestantent is Abby as she steps onto the stage and calls for her Pokemon.

As her Pokemon appears it was Jigglypuff, as she starts it off by calling for ice punch and fire punch hitting the ground while having a wall of ice form around it with the flame punch controling it allowing the ice to not over run the battlefield while finishing it calling for another ice punch allowing the Pokemon to be seen enclosed in ice. When Abby calls for him to use dazzling gleam causing the stucture to glow orginating from the Pokemon as she calls to end it with sing, scaring the crowed afraid to fall asleep thanks to the move, but surprisingly no one falls to sleep as we hear a song coming from it.As everyone cheers and we here

The three judges in order " Remarkable, to use it's own moves to be able to form a venue where you can appreciate its signiture move, it's great not limiting a Pokemon to all the standards that it is known for as it shows a more rounded appearnce" I see Abby smiling and hugging her Pokemon while walking back stage

Vivian "The first rounds have concluded as the judges calculate who will calculate who makes it to the next stage, stay tuned"

As we are back stage and discussing how are performances went I look at the others and the only one that really stands out is Robert with his baltoy who has to make one the top performances as we finally here the ring that the top 8 have been decided

Vivian "I will not tell the order in which the 2nd round will start it will be, Grace vs Robert, Abby vs miles in the 1st block then Lucy vs Casey and Kash vs Merv" as I sweat a little realisng I just barley made it but a win is a win.

In a huge surprise in the first match Grace lost against Robert with his baltoy as he was in command the whole time by keeping his opponent off tempo the whole battle by starting with gravity and alternativly changing it not allowing her Duskull to move around properly and using imprison shuting off shadow sneak and her main way to dodge, as he ends the battle with psychic causing massive damage. As Grace recalls her Pokemon thanking for a great battle and shaking ahdns with her opponent as she walks of stage

Kash "You did pretty good with a new Pokemon but next time wait to you understand more of his moves and trained it to be ready before you enter a contest with him" as I see her smile weakley and head to Abby I am guessing to say not to lose to him as I smile.

Next it was Abby against an Ninjask as I think it was a large hurdle for her to win, but to my surprise she battled completly diffrent to when I first saw her, as she started with sing as she puts her opponent to sleep and finishing it with blizzard, have her opponent blocked in ice, as she smiles and shake his hand and they laugh making me realise this wasn't thier first meeting as I walk to her behind stage and ask

Kash "Nice battle, a little ruthless"she smiles and tells me

Abby "The reasoning is I lost to him in another not knowing of his ability to speed up during battle as I was powering my Pokemon up it was to late by the time I couldn't land a hit and he toyed with me as I wanted revenge" as she walks away.

Lucy's battle was an easy one as her opponent was using an Torkol, all it took was a few well timed hydro pumps and an aqua tail when he was trying to get a solar beam off, the same case for me as my opponent thought it was easy as he was using an Ludicolo but I ended it in 2 moves starting with the combo cruch and thunder fang and then a foul play while he was trying to hit with water pulse but missing every shot. As me and Lucy high five back stage at our victories as we wait for the announcment for the semi finalsas it is Robert vs Abby and Me vs Lucy as we smile at each other as it's been a while since we battled each other.
