CHAPTER 45 - PERFORMING A PATHWAY TO THE FUTURE!
Previously in Pokemon Chaos and Order...
After a long and hard Rematch with the Opelucid City Gym Leader Iris, Ash was able to finally claim victory and win his 8th and final Gym Badge.
Before they can continue to the League, our heroes must stop to let Serena try and accomplish her dream, and become the Unova Queen!
.......................................................................
The next day...
Serena is standing in front of a giant stadium which resembles a castle.
It's early in the morning and thus there's nobody there yet. She takes a deep breath before grabbing all of her Pokeballs. She threw them high in the air and released all of her Pokemon.
"Okay guys..." she said as she knelt in front of them. "I know half of you have never entered a Showcase before, and that we haven't had all the time in the world to train. So even if we don't win, the fact that we made it this far is good enough for me... so remember... JUST HAVE FUN!" All of her Pokemon let out an enthusiastic cry.
Later that day, the sun was already halfway up the sky, Serena and the others are at the Pokemon Center eating breakfast. "I can't believe this day's already here!" Said Dawn with an enthusiastic tone. "I know right!" Nate replied. "I bet you'll be great!" "Thanks all of you!" Serena said, a bit embarrassed from all the attention.
Serena then looked at Jessie. Her, James and Meowth were in one of their bad disguises, because they're ex members of a criminal organization (duh).
(Best pic I could find of the disguises I wanted to see them in...)
"It's a shame you didn't get to the Master Class Jess... I mean Jessiline..." Serena said. "I bet you would've been great!" She added. "Why thank you twerpe... sorry! I mean Serena..." Jessie replied. "So go and win this for both of us, deal?" "Deal!" Serena and Jessie shook hands.
Ash then glanced at the clock. "The Showcase is about to start!" He said as he gobbled up the rest of his food and stood up. "Go knock their socks off Serena!" He said. "Right!" Serena said before rushing over to the Stadium.
"Hey look! It's Serena!" A familiar voice spoke out. Serena turned to look at the direction of the voice and saw all of her friends/rivals from the previous showcases; May, Drew, Ellie, Shauna and Star. "Hey!" Serena said before joining the group.
"It's so good to see you again!" Ellie said before surprising Serena with a hug. "You too!" Serena said, to excited to care about Ellie acting weirdly. "I see you made it!" Shauna said, interrupting Ellie's hug. "I'm honestly not surprised..." "Thanks Shauna!" Serena said. "Star! You look great!" She said as she saw Star's new attire.
"Why thank youuuuuuuuu..." Star said as she took a bow. "Despite you looking no different than what I remember, you look great too!" She complimented Serena back. "Thanks!"
"Well well well... what do we have here..." Serena and the others heard a voice they hoped not to hear again. "Miette..." Serena mumbled. "Who else?" Miette answered. "I see you're here too..." another voice was heard. This time, it might be considerably worse. "And Natalie..." Serena murmured as she saw her greatest nemesis and a crazy girl stand before her.
"You know each other?!" Miette and Natalie ask each other, both pointing at Serena. "I see we have a common enemy other than each other..." Miette said. "And you bet I'll be the one to end her!" Natalie said.
Ellie's eyes flashed red. "DON'T YOU DARE HURT HER!" She roared, causing Miette and Natalie to fall to the ground in fear. "Jellybean Hallucination Mist..." Star said as she tapped on Ellie's shoulder, calming her down.
"Sorry..." Ellie said. "But seriously, you don't have the right to sabotage any of us just because you want to win! Wether you win or lose you must accept it..." Ellie then went to the Stadium, followed by a couple of other people, leaving Serena alone with Miette.
"This is your last warning!" Miette whisper-yelled at Serena. "Give up now! And maybe I'll go easy on you..." "I wouldn't do that if I were you..." Nate said in a taunting tone as he came up behind Miette. "Just concentrate on your work instead of trampling others..." he said before walking to the Stadium.
Some time later, Ash and the others found their places and sat down. Close to them they were able to spot Marco, Tierno and Trevor.
Before anyone could say anything, the lights turned off and the stadium spotlight turned on, revealing Monsieur Pierre there. "Bonjour ladies and gentlemen!" He exclaimed. "And welcome to the Master Class Showcase of Opelucid City! The Showcase where we'll pick the first ever Unova Queen!"
"This Showcase will combine the styles of the first two Showcases we had..." he explained. "There will be two Performers on stage, and each of them will have to do a stunning performance. Just like most Showcases, you choose the winners! But this time there's a twist! We are being broadcasted LIVE on the air all around the Region! So all the people watching at home can also vote! And so, without further ado... here are the first Performance! May Sapphire vs. Drew Berrymore!"
May and Drew were brought up to the Stadium. They both had 6 Pokemon next to them and began to Perform.
Author's note: I'm going to fast-forward the other Performances just like I did last time. That's because I don't have enough time to go into detail on all of them and I only have one Chapter to do this. So here are the list of eliminations;
Round 1
May vs. Drew (winner: May)
Star vs. Unnamed Performer (winner: Star)
Natalie vs. Ellie (winner: Ellie)
Shauna vs. Unnamed Performer (winner: Shauna)
Miette vs. Unnamed Performer (winner: Miette)
Serena vs. Unnamed Performer (winner: Serena)
Round 2
May vs. Serena (winner: Serena)
Shauna vs. Miette (winner: Miette)
Star vs. Ellie (winner: Ellie)
Round 3
Ellie vs. Miette (winner: Miette)
Serena vs. Miette - Finals
.......................................................................
"We've seen great Performances from incredibly talented people!" Monsieur Pierre exclaimed. "But now it's time for the final Performance... the Performance that will determine who will take the tiara of the first ever Unova Queen!" Monsieur Pierre then showed the crowd the tiara.
"The final Performance will be... Serena Yvonne vs. Miette Mielfui!" He said before raising Miette's Platform, showing that she will be the one to begin. Her and her Pokemon (Slurpuff, Watchog, Meowstic♂️ and three others that I don't know what they should be. Tell me in the comments and I'll add them later), put out a spectacle of sight, sound and even smells, and the crowd cheered loudly for her.
(Not showing this because who cares about Miette?!)
"And that was a magnifique Performance from Miette Mielfui!" Pierre exclaimed before her platform went down, her grinning all the way. "Beat THAT!" She told Serena when she reached the bottom floor. Serena put on the dress Ash bought for her back at Nimbasa City (Chapter 22).
Seeing Miette's Performance from the T.V. set on the room the performers were to stay before going to perform made Serena a bit uneasy. 'She sure is good...' she thought. She then looked at her wrist. She had tied the Blue Ribbon Ash gave her around her wrist, to give her some confidence.
She smiled. 'I'll just have to be better...' she thought before walking towards the Platform. "And now, our final Performer!" Pierre said as the platform started to rise. "SERENA YVONNE!" He said as the spotlight dropped on her and her Pokemon.
For more confidence, she went over a simple song over and over again in her mind.
"Let's star this off with a bang!" She exclaimed as she gave a little twirl. "Pancham! Use Stone Edge!" She commanded before snapping her fingers above her head.
Pancham then slams its paws on the ground, creating glowing light blue pillars of rock, which shoot upwards and start to travel all around her and the other Pokemon in a circle. Before long, they were encased in a fortress of jagged stones.
"NOW BRAIXEN! FLAMETHROWER!" She commanded, her voice barely audible. Braixen points its wand stick upwards and forms a red-orange flame at its tip. It then releases a red-orange stream of fire from the tip of its wand at the top of the fortress.
The flames move all around the fortress, lighting it up like discotheque, shooting out multiple different colors.
(Something like this...)
"NOW USE FIRE PLEDGE!" She commanded. Braixen slams its paw on the ground, causing pillars of fire to rush around them. The pillars then form a ring of fire pillars around the fortress before shooting upwards and destroying the fortress in a spectacle of fireworks.
"Alright Samantha! Use Forest's Curse! And Piplup use Bubble Beam!" She commanded. Samantha's eyes shine purple, and a ring of the same color shoots out of her eyes and hits the ground. The ground glows purple and purple vines grow out from it. The inside of Piplup's beak glows light blue and it fires multiple multi-colored bubbles from its beak towards the vines, popping into sparkles.
"NOW USE DUAL CHOP!" Serena commanded. Axew's tusks then grew to twice their size and glowed green. Axew then ran over the vines and cut them with its tusks, causing them to disappear into sparkles.
Serena then looked at Sylveon. The only Pokemon she didn't use so far was the first Pokemon she ever obtained. Sylveon took a barrage of deep breaths and looked at Serena. Serena had no idea of what to do, so Sylveon decided to combine an old move with the new move it was starting to learn.
Sylveon stood up on its back legs and slammed its front legs at the ground with force. A patch of sand appeared on the spot it landed. Sylveon then started to dance and to spin around, kicking the patch of sand, causing a stream of sand to fly everywhere.
As it was dancing, Sylveon moves its feelers around like helicopter blades, causing a strong gust of blue wind and a trail of pink sparkling dust to surround them. The two moves created a tornado of sparkling sand to surround Serena and the others.
"You learned Fairy Wind!" Serena exclaimed as Sylveon returned to her side. "Good job! I have an idea. Axew! Use Draco Meteor!" She commanded. A sphere of bright orange energy forms inside of Axew's mouth and is fired into the sky. "NOW SYLVEON! MOONBLAST!" She commanded once-more.
Sylveon spreads its feelers wide open, and an image of the moon appears behind it. It then forms an orb of pink energy in front of its mouth, and fires it at orb of energy Axew launched.
The two orbs collided and exploded into a million different spheres that resemble comets. The explosion caused the sand around them to disperse. Serena and her Pokemon then began to dance and do acrobatic stunts around the falling comets.
Sylveon then picked Serena up with its feelers, causing her to fly around the comets with elegance. As the shower of comets ended, Serena took a glance at the audience, and was shocked. Sitting just a few rows behind Ash and her friends was her mom.
Her mom never showed up to any of her Showcases before, and thus seeing her there made Serena cry tears of joy. After a few moments, Sylveon brought Serena down, snapping her back to reality.
"Alright guys! Let's finish this off with something they've never seen before!" She exclaimed. "Braixen, use Fire Pledge, Pancham, use Stone Edge, Sylveon, you use Fairy Wind, Samantha, Forest's Curse and Axew, fire another Draco Meteor on my mark!" All of her Pokemon nodded and used their moves.
She then turned over to Piplup. "Time to shine Piplup!" She said as she held up her Z-Ring with the Water Z-Crystal already in it.
"LET'S DO THIS PIPLUP!" Serena exclaimed while crossing his arms together into the shape of an 'X', causing the crystal to glow and a blue aura to surround her. Piplup then started to move in perfect synchronisity as her. She then spread her arms to the sides of her body, moving them in a semi-circle formation. She then brought both her arms forward, one on top of the other. She then brought both her arms to her left side and started to move them like waves, bringing them to her right, striking a pose.
As soon as Serena stroke that pose, the blue aura that surrounded her then moved over to Piplup, before a symbol flashed before Piplup.
"Time to knock their socks off!" She proclaimed. "Show her the power of the seven seas Piplup!" Piplup then dives (beak-first) into the stadium and begins to spin. It then creates a spinning whirlpool of water which comes crashing out of the surface.
"HYDRO VORTEX!!!!!" She cried out. The whirlpool of water then surrounded all of them. The whirlpool became surrounded by Pancham's Stone Edge, Braixen's Fire Pledge and Samantha's Forest's Curse.
Sylveon then whipped up another Fairy Wind, making them appear as if they're all flying. "Now let's all concentrate on one point!" She exclaimed. "Flamethrower! Dark Pulse! Moonblast! Hydro Pump! Will-O-Wisp! And everybody concentrate it on Axew's Draco Meteor!"
Axew fired another orange orb of energy up at the sky. Before it could explode however, the rest of Serena's Pokemon fired their attacks towards the orb. The attacks concentrated on the orb, plus the Hydro Vortex, plus all the other attacks surrounding them all combined together to create the image of a flower made if fire, water, rock, vines and energy.
Sylveon then whipped up another Fairy Wind so they can all land safely. When all was said and done, and the flower dispersed into millions of sparkles and fireworks, each of Serena's Pokemon stroke a different pose. "And... FINISH!" She exclaimed as soon as she stood next to her Pokemon.
This time, the crowd couldn't wait even a microsecond before erupting into a thunderous applause, the likes of which have not been seen before. While the crowd was clapping, they were all still processing the information they got.
Serena started to bow down to the audience, thanking them for their generous applause. "Well then, I see you've all enjoyed the show!" Pierre said before walking to the crowd, alongside Palermo and Aria. "I'd be lying if I said I didn't, but it's all up to you!"
Miette's platform was also elevated as she stood next to her rival. "If you look under your seat, you'll find a Glow-Caster!" He explained. "Now vote... who will be the first Unova Queen? Serena or Miette? It's your choice!"
All of the people in the audience, and at home, pressed one of two buttons on the Glow-Caster. Pink for Serena or Blue for Miette. An uncountable number of orbs started to fly from the audience towards the two rivals, filling in each of their receivers with "bars" of their corresponded colors.
Before the winner was unveiled, the roof opened up, letting a cluster **swear word** of orbs to fly in and fill even more bars of each color on the two rivals receivers.
After what felt like an eternity, the orbs finally stopped. "Well then, the people voted and the results are clear!" Pierre said, giving the tiara to Aria (so that she could give it to the winner). "It was a close competition. Close than anyone beforehand. But the title of the first ever Unova Queen goes to..."
"SERENA YVONNE OF ASPERITA CITY!" He cried out as he showed the results. Serena had indeed surpassed Miette by only one vote. Even though it wasn't a surprise, the vote that got Serena the crown was Ash's.
Serena started to cry tears of joy as her Pokemon squashed her with a tight hug. 'You did it mama!' Samantha said. "No... we did it Samantha... we all did it together..." she said, sniffing as Aria placed the Tiara on her head.
"Congratulations..." Aria said. "Thank you... Ariana..." Serena replied, whispering the last part. Aria giggled and winked at Serena before her platform went back down.
When Serena got down to that room, she was surprised to see Miette in a fetal position, crying uncontrollably. She went over to her side and handed her a tissue.
"Oh! So it's not enough that you took the crown away from me, now you have to rub it in my face?!" Miette cried at Serena. Serena had a look of fury on her face, but she quickly calmed down.
"Look Miette..." she said. "I'm happy to have you as my rival..." Miette looked at her, utterly baffled. "Huh?!" Miette asked. "If it wasn't for you pushing me so much, literally and figuratively, I wouldn't have won today..." she explained.
"You are a bully, no doubt about it..." she continued. "But, you actually helped me climb to the top. So... thank you. And if you ever need my help... just say..." Serena started to walk away.
"Wait!" Miette said, causing Serena to stop in her tracks and turn to look at her. "I'm... I'm sorry..." Miette said, baffling Serena. "You're totally right... I was a bully. And a horrible person... I did everything I could to trample you because... I met Ash a while before I started my journey and I fell for him hard... then I met Trip, and he told me about you. I was totally blinded by jealousy that I ruined my reputation... I'm sorry..."
Serena went over to Miette and handed her the tissue she previously wanted to give. This time, Miette took it. "What queen would I be if I couldn't forgive you?" Serena said before hugging Miette.
"I swear I'll try to become Kalos Queen, the right way this time!" Miette exclaimed. "I'll be rooting for you!' Serena said. The two of them then high-fived each other before Serena's friends, family and Performance rivals showed up, congratulating her in every way imaginable.
"YOU WERE UNBELIEVABLE SERENA!" Ash said after Serena parted from a hug with her mother. "Thank you Ash, I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you..." she said. "But now it's your turn to fulfill your dream!" She continued. Ash gave her his signature smirk and nodded.
