Floaroma Contest

The next day...
The Floaroma Town contest was about to start. Marian did the usual introductions and showed off the Floaroma Ribbon. The ribbon was orange with a white stripe on each end. In the dressing room Ash, Kenny and Dawn were waiting for the contest to begin. Ash was wearing a blue tunic, white trousers, brown belt, brown boots and gloves, a blue hat and a red cape. Keny was wearing a white shirt, black tie, a jade green waistcoat, a jade green jacket with yellow markings, jade green trousers with yellow markings, a red sash, white socks and black shoes. Dawn was wearing her pink dress, but it had yellow roses on it and she had her hair tied long with a red hair ribbon and two big curls on the front and two yellow hair barrettes with a bigger red ribbon tied around her neck. Kenny couldn't stop staring at Dawn in her dress; the truth is he liked her despite teasing her so much. The three rivals promised that they wouldn't go easy on each other.
It was soon time for the contest to begin and Dawn was first in the preliminary rounds. She sent her Pachirisu out with a line seal and this one created blue lines. Pachirisu broke the blue lines with his electricity and blue particles were created. Pachirisu landed on his tail, but the tail slipped on the stage and he began rolling around. Because of that Pachirisu started to get stage fright. Dawn had a idea; she had a poffin in her pocket and threw it to Pachirisu. Since poffins were Pachirisu's weakness he quickly got out of his stage fright and grabbed the poffin while using Spark. Then Pachirisu used Discharge which lit up the area, and then he used Sweet Kiss to finish it off. It wasn't bad, but Dawn still had some more work to do to make Pachirisu work better in contests.
After Dawn was a Buizel, a Magmar, a Sealeo, a Magneton, a Koffing and a Pokemon called a Kricketune. Kricketune was a black, red and cream colored cricket Pokemon and it was a bug type Pokemon. Next up was Ash and he sent out Staravia with a smoke seal, and this one created white smoke. 
"Staravia, Aerial Ace." He commanded. 
Not only did Staravia show how fast he was, he also made the smoke break apart.
"Now Staravia, it's time to use Whirlwind." Ash said.
He threw a lot of pieces of ripped paper into the air while Staravia used Whirlwind. The pieces of paper were blown around the air like they were dancing. Then Staravia used Air Cutter to cut the papers into smaller pieces and the paper fell like snow. Kenny thought Ash did a good job when it came to contests.
Now it was Kenny's turn and he sent out a Alakazam with a fire seal, which surrounded it in a fiery flame. His catch phrase for contests was 'hit it'. 
"Light Screen." Kenny told Alakazam. 
It completely surrounded Alakazam. 
"Shadow Ball." He ordered.
So while Alakazam was surrounded by Light Screen, it used Shadow Ball, which made the Light Screen explode and break apart. Alakazam teleported away; this was like a magician escaping from a box that exploded, unharmed. To end it Alakazam used Hidden Power, while it meditated in the air, and the Hidden Power broke into particles.
"Kenny is good at this." Ash spoke to Dawn. "Now we have three rivals when it comes to Pokemon contests."
He was referring to Zoey, Nando and Kenny.
Soon the appeal round was over. Dawn was worried that she might not have made it into the appeal round after her and Pachirisu's failure. But when the results of the second round were shown, she made it to the second round along with Ash, Kenny and five other coordinators. Dawn was relieved for now. The results of the battle round were shown and Ash was up against Kenny in the first round.
"Don't think you'll beat me like you did yesterday, Ash." Kenny said.
"Give me everything you got." Ash replied.
Soon the battle rounds were up and Dawn was determined to show Kenny how good she was when it came to battles, after what she learned from the boys. Her first opponent used a Solrock, which Piplup easily defeated because it was a rock type Pokemon.
Soon it was time for Ash and Kenny to face each other. Kenny sent out his Prinplup with a star seal that created lots of yellow stars. Ash sent out his Budew with a floral seal that created lots of pink flower petals. Kenny began the battle with Bubble Beam, but Budew countered with Bullet Seed.
"Razor Leaf, Budew." Ash said.
Budew fired razor sharp leaves, but Prinplup dodged it and used Drill Peck.
"You're okay Budew, use Leaf Storm." Ash said.
Budew released a storm of leaves that hit Prinplup. Kenny thought Ash's Pokemon were incredible. 
"Prinplup, Mist." He ordered.
Prinplup produced a mist that Budew couldn't see through. Prinplup then used Drill Peck again and Budew was seriously injured by the attack.
"Heal yourself with Synthesis." Ash said.
Budew healed herself a little.
"Use Mega Drain." He ordered.
She released a green beam from her bud and it grabbed Prinplup, sapping it's energy and then the beam went back into Budew as Prinplup's energy healed it. 
"Use Bullet Seed." Ash ordered.
Prinplup dodged the attack and used Bubble Beam. Just then time was up and Kenny had a few more points than Ash. So he was the winner.
Budew was disappointed with her loss, but Ash gave her a hug.
"You did a great job." He told her. "We just have to make you stronger for your next battle."
Budew nodded in understanding.
"Good job." Ash congratulated Kenny for his win.
He then joined Tomo and Brock in the stands. In the waiting room, Dawn was surprised Kenny beat Ash. 
"Wow, Kenny is strong." She said. "That doesn't mean he'll defeat me though."
Dawn and Kenny went on to defeat their next opponents until it was time for them to battle in the final round. Kenny sent out his Prinplup with a star seal and Dawn sent out her Piplup with a bubble seal. 
"Piplup, Bubble Beam." Dawn ordered.
"Do the same thing." Kenny told Prinplup.
The bubbles collided with each other.
"Piplup, Peck." Dawn ordered.
Prinplup intercepted it with Metal Claw and sent Piplup into the air. 
"Use Drill Peck, Prinplup." Kenny said.
"Use Bide, Piplup." Dawn said.
Piplup stored up some energy to use Bide, while he was spun around by Prinplup. Prinplup then pecked him and Piplup released the stored up energy, that hit Prinplup.
"Prinplup, Metal Claw." Kenny ordered.
Piplup flipped to get out of the way.
"Whirlpool, Piplup." Dawn said.
Piplup released a whirlpool from it's beak and Prinplup was trapped in the whirlpool. It then freed itself with Bubble Beam. Next Prinplup used Mist and then moved forward with Drill Peck. 
"Use Whirlpool, Piplup." Dawn said.
After creating a whirlpool, Piplup rode it to dodge Drill Peck. 
"Prinplup, jump into the whirlpool." Kenny ordered.
The two penguin Pokemon collided with each other using Metal Claw and Peck. Then they attacked each other with Bubble Beam and the bubbles collided. After that time was up and Dawn had a few more points than Kenny. She ended up winning the Floaroma contest.
Dawn was happy to have won her first ribbon. 
"I'll beat Dawn next time." Kenny said to himself.
Ash was happy for Dawn.
"I'll beat Kenny the next time we face each other in a contest." He vowed.
Mr. Contesta presented Dawn with the Floaroma ribbon and Dawn cheered while showing off with the ribbon. Piplup and Pachirisu cheered too.
That evening
Dawn called Johanna. 
"I'm sorry that I'm calling you, mom." She apologized, recalling what her mother said to her before. "But I had to call you to show you my first contest ribbon." 
"It's alright dear." Johanna said. "But remember you and your Pokemon have to keep working hard together to be a really great team."
"We will." Dawn promised.
Then the phone call ended.
Just then Kenny appeared.
"I'll be looking forward to seeing you in another contest Ash, Dawn." He said.
"See you later." He then said goodbye to the gang. "Dee-Dee." 
Then he left.
Dawn wasn't happy being called that. 
"What's with the name Dee-Dee Dawn?" Tomo asked.
"Don't go there!" Dawn shouted, waving her arms around.
It seemed something embarrassing happened to Dawn when she was first called Dee-Dee in the past.
So with the Floaroma contest over, the gang could get ready to head to their next destination, Eterna City where Ash and Tomo could obtain their next gym badge.
