“Apparently the Viridian City Pokémon Contest is today,” Alexis calmly stated.
“Then let’s get to the contest hall pronto,” said Alexander, rushing away as usual.
The Viridian City Contest Hall. It was one of the two buildings in Viridian city that was not in ruins, one of the two buildings that were not a shadow of its former glory. The other building was the Viridian City Gym, but that was closed. The triplets gazed at the magnificent building that was to house Alexandra’s first contest.
“Come on guys, let’s go in. I’m not going to win my first contest out on the streets in front of the contest hall, said Alexandra.
“You don’t have a chance at winning this. Your Bulbasaur only knows tackle remember? It needs to have at least two offensive moves if you want to win. You lose points if you continually use the same attack,” said Alexis.
“No, Bulbasaur knows tackle, stun spore and poison powder. I checked it on my Pokédex,” said Alexandra.
They went into the Contest Hall. As they were walking to the registration desk a teenage girl rushed past them, knocking them to one side.
“Hey, watch where you’re going,” shouted Alexandra.
“Whatever, loser,” she retorted. “I’m in a hurry. I need to get registered.”
“Look who’s talking. Our father is_____________,” said Alexandra.
“Big deal. He might be a legendary trainer, but that doesn’t give you the right to be rude to your elders, nor does it automatically make you a great trainer,” said the girl.
“I’m rude? Then what are you?” said Alexandra.
“Shall we settle this in the contest?” asked the teenager.
“It’s a deal. But I’ll be the one to win it,” said Alexandra
“Welcome Coordinators big and small to the first contest of the year. That’s right. This is the Viridian City Pokémon Contest,” shouted Lilian, the contest announcer for the Kanto region. “The judges for this contest will be Mr Raoul Contesta, the head of the Pokémon Activities committee, Mr Sukizo, Chairman of the Pokémon Fan Club, and the
What a catastrophe! Lucy was the teenage girl who had bumped into Alexandra! Lucy sent out a Squirtle and commanded it to use bubble beam, then water gun. Squirtle sent a mass of bubbles upwards, and then used water gun to pop the bubbles, sending a shower of sparkles raining down on the crowd.
“Well I loved that one. Let’s hear the judges’ comments,” said Lilian.
“I would have thought the Lilac Lily would be able to think of a more impressive appeal. Disappointing,” said Contesta.
“I disagree. I thought it was remarkable,” said Mr Sukizo.
“Simple, yet beautiful. However, I would have expected Lucy to do better” said Nurse Joy.
A few appeals later, it was Alexandra’s turn.
“Bulbasaur, spin around while using stun spore and poisonpowder,” commanded Alexandra. Bulbasaur started running in circles, wile releasing orange and purple dust.
“Now stop,” said Alexandra. The small grass-type stopped running, and the dust became an orange and purple tornado which slowly faded away.
“Amazing. Just amazing. Judges, what do you have to say about that appeal?” said Lilian.
“Wonderful, but the moves chosen are rather simple and unimportant,” observed Contesta. “Alexandra is going to have a tough time in the battle round.”
“Remarkable, I suppose,” said Mr Sukizo, although his voice was missing its usual enthusiasm.
“Well, it was certainly very beautiful,” finished Nurse Joy consoling.
The other Coordinators made their appeals, and then it was time for Lilian to announce the names of the eight Coordinators that had made it to the Battle Round.
“And the Coordinators that have made it to the
