It is now time for the second round of the Viridian City Contest: the
“And the first battle of the quarter-finals will be Alexandra, the Pallet Princess, against Bobby, the crazy co-ordinator,” said Lilian,” After that beautiful display that she just gave us, I’m sure the entire crowd is rooting for the Pallet Princess. Trainers, send out your pokémon!”
Alexandra sent out Bulbasaur, while Bobby sent out a male Nidoran. “The five minutes start now!” shouted Lilian, over the crowd’s roars. “Let the match begin.” On the scoreboard, the timer started counting down.
“Bulbasaur, tackle!” commanded Alexandra. The small dinosaur-like pokémon shot up into the air and tackled the Nidoran♂ with all its might. Surprisingly, that was all it took for Alexandra to win the battle, for the Nidoran♂ fainted.
“That was way too short” remarked Contesta.
“How unremarkable,” commented Mr. Sukizo.
“I’m sure Bobby trained hard for this, but he just wasn’t good enough,” said Nurse Joy reassuringly
Lucy also won her Quarter-final match against Tarzan and his Mankey very easily, with a combination of poison powder and vine whip. A few minutes later, the first Semi-final was about to start.
“The first Semi-final is about to get underway. It will be Alexandra, the Pallet Princess, against Jeremy, the amazing amateur,” said Lilian. Alexandra sent out Bulbasaur and Jeremy sent out a Rattata. “The five minutes start…now,” said Lilian. “Let the match begin.
“Bulbasaur, tackle,” said Alexandra. Once again, Bulbasaur charged at its opponent, and once again, its opponent went down after one hit.
“Alexandra must be remarkable!” said Mr. Sukizo.
Then, it was time for Lucy’s semi-final match against Jane and her Jigglypuff, using a combination of poison powder and vine whip. Soon afterwards, it was time for the final match.
“Why do these co-ordinators like to use the same move or combination for both their quarter-final and their semi-final?” asked Contesta.
“Because that is their strategy, and their strategies are usually remarkable,” replied Mr. Sukizo.
“Why do I bother asking you questions? On second thoughts, don’t answer that,” said Contesta dryly.
“And the final match will be between Lucy, the lilac lily, and Alexandra, the Pallet princess,” said Lilian. “The outcome of this match will determine who walks away with the Viridian City Ribbon. Co-ordinators, send out your pokémon, and lets get this final underway”
Alexandra, naturally, sent out her Bulbasaur and Lucy sent out a rather mean-looking Vileplume. “The five minutes start….NOW!!” shouted Lilian.
“Good Luck. You will need it to defeat me,” said Lucy with a sneer.
“We’ll see about that. Lucy is stronger than Bobby and Jeremy so, Bulbasaur, keep using tackle until it faints,” ordered Alexandra. Lucy’s Vileplume suffered heavy damage and Lucy’s points went down. However, Alexandra’s points also decreased.
“You can’t win a contest on brute strength alone,” explained Contesta in a gruff voice, “Your last two victories now seem like flukes. You need grace and talent. You must show off your pokémon’s strengths. Prove yourself!”
“Yes. Show us how remarkable you and your Bulbasaur are,” said Mr. Sukizo.
“Then let’s use poisonpowder, then tackle,” said Alexandra.
“Vileplume, counter-attack with your poisonpowder,” said Lucy. Both grass types used poisonpowder, creating a giant purple cloud, but Vileplume’s attack was stronger, and Bulbasaur was poisoned, and started weakening from the pain of the poison. Then, Bulbasaur was covered in a green glow.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you are now witnessing Bulbasaur’s Overgrow. It makes Bulbasaur’s grass-type attacks 50% stronger when its health is low,” explained Lilian to the crowd. Then, instead of using tackle, Bulbasaur released a pair of sharp leaves from the bud on its back, defeating Vileplume.
“It appears that Alexandra’s Bulbasaur has learned razor leaf! How remarkable!” said Mr. Sukizo.
“And Alexandra wins the Viridian City Ribbon,” said Contesta. “Now you know how to win a contest.” He took the ribbon out of a box that had been inside his table and presenting the ribbon to an overjoyed Alexandra.
“So be it. You might have beaten me this time, but I won’t forget about this. The next time we meet, you won’t be so lucky,” said Lucy, turning around and leaving the stage.
