On the performance stage, the spotlight flashed and the host had already appeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the gorgeous pokémon contest of the Slateport city is about to begin" Vivian held up the microphone and started to introduce the judges.

"The Chief of the Pokémon Activities Committee and Head Judge, Mr. Contesta;

The President of the Pokémon Fan Club, Mr. Sukizo;

The operator of the local Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy."

This is the most commonly used judges for the ordinary conference.

"Coordinators and trainers who successfully win the competition will receive the Slateport ribbon, if you managed tollect 5 ribbons successfully the coordinators can take part in the Hoenn Grand Festival, and I, Vivian will be in charge of hosting today's competition, so coordinators good luck"

Soon the first round of performance reviews began at the performance venue, each coordinator are given 3 minutes to show it's pokemons gorgeousness and beautiful moves.

The first coordinator, followed by the second coordinator were Rookies who uses only 1 trick without even finishing.

Now it was Evan's turn to perform

"Next let's invite entry no. 3,Evan Stone from Rustboro city", Vivian invited.

" Oh it's Evan's turn" Ash, Max and Brock said in harmony.

"Evan! ", May was also watching at the screen inside the lounge.

"Okay~baby, it's show time, let's shine! ⭐✨"

Evan threw Sylveon's friend ball.

Bang~! Sylveon appeared elegantly.

"Sylveon use swift and they fairy wind", the combination attack of swift and fairy wind filled the entire stage with a shiny particles sprinkled all over the stage.And Sylveon ended the performance using Swift combined with Fire Blast, creating a large star that exploded into sparkles.And then Sylveon bowed gracefully to the audiences.

"Wow~~so beautiful" One of the audience couldn't help but admire the beautiful scene even the judges were completely speechless.

"Wow" Suddenly a cheer erupted from the audiences.And Sylveon made a love sign with her ribbon.

"Wow.. So cute", audiences kept cheering for Sylveon.

In the waiting room both Robert and Drew frowned. This kind of movement doesn't look like rokkie but of a professional, they thought.

Mr. Sukizo reviewed the performance, " The performance was very beautiful, I love it~"

Everyone was satisfied with the performance except for veteran coordinators like Robert and Drew.

"The performance was beautiful Evan", said May in the waiting room.

The first round of competition is still in full swing and the only worthy opponents can be said to be Robert and Drew.

Finally Vivian called out May's name, " The last contestant of the competition, May please come to the stage".

"Good luck", Evan encouraged May.

May came to the venue, " Beautifly, take the stage" Accompanied by May's exclusive starting gestures, Beautifly spreads it's scales and makes a beautiful hovering entrance.

"Okay, let's do this beautifly", May took out the Frisbee but her foot slipped.

Snapped, on the audience seat Ash, Max and Broke couldn't help but cover their faces.

May squatted on the ground, feeling embarrased.

"It's okay the host won't allow to have stage accidents", Broke reassured.

"Are you okay contestant May, are you nervous", Vivian asked May politely.

"Haha... I'm sorry... It was just practice", May got off the slope immediately.

Later by interacting with the silk spinning skills of beautifly, May's frisbees throwing strategy was successful.

Vivian also took the opportunity in canvassing May's performance, "the perfect tacit understanding between the beautifly and it's trainer May was outstanding".

Unexpectedly when everyone thought May was back to normal and beautifly successfully repelled the frisbees, May made a mistake, although she caught it hurriedly, the action was embarrassing and nit beautiful.

In the end, with May's support, beautifly successfully sent out a silver windwind. The audience gave May a round of encouraging applause.

The judges nodded slightly and gave May a score of 24.9!.

May looked at the screen and sighed "not even 25 points!."

The first review was finally over.

In the waiting room seeing May sad I went towards her and gave her a word of encouragement with a smile"You did well May".

"Thanks Evan" May responded.

Drew suddenly came towards us and handed the rose to May, "you performed pretty well."

"Wow is this rose for me?" May was surprised.

"No, it's for your beautifly after all she worked hard" Drew responded.

Not long after the first round ended, the second round of list began to be announced.

Robert, Drew, May and Evan all entered the top 8.

"Whoo.. I'm in! " May breathes a sigh of relief.

Soon the random match up ended and tthe battle opponents were released.

Evan was extremely lucky to meet a rookie as an opponent.

Whereas May was matched up with Drew.

"I won't loose" May looked at Drew annoyingly and walked onto the stage.

Drew also gracefully appeared on the stage.

Drew and May sent out their respective Pokemon.

Unfortunately just like in the original anime, May was caught in Drew's momentum and started giving random instructions to beautifly.

In the end Roselia fatally injured beautifly with a burst of solar beam.

Dididi.. the judges gave a judgement, battle ofd, making May disqualified from the competition and Drew successfully advanced to top 4.

Next battle was between Robert and rookie, unfortunately rookie stand a no chance and Robert advanced to top 4 smoothly.

It was finally Evan's turn to battle can Evan survive and win the championship?
