"And now, now that the performance is over, here are the 8 Coordinators entering the second round! Here they are! These lucky 8!" Marian announced. She gestured to the giant plasma screen, which revealed the 8 faces of the very Coordinators moving on:

1. Carl

2. Zoey

3. Dawn

4. Necro

5. Wendy

6. Ash

7. William

8. Jessilina

"Oh wow! Necro, we both made it!" Dawn squealed with delight.

"We sure did, Dawn." Necro chuckled as she looked at the TV.

"Awesome!" Ash commented.

"Pika Pika!" Pikachu agreed.

"Ai!" Aipom shrieked with happiness.

"Nothing like getting past the first step." Brock chuckle.

Dawn sighed with relief.

"Congrats to the three of you all." Zoey complimented.

"Thanks, Zoey! You just made it all easy for Me,
I guess that's why you already have a ribbon!" Dawn explained making Zoey smirk.

"Well I wouldn't know about that." Zoey snorted.

then a short while later it showed who were to battle against who in the first round.
"Now ladies and gentlemen. Here are the battle rounds on the plasma screen!" Marian announced. On the board, the eight cards shuffled to its random places. Once the shuffling was done, the cards were revealed.

"Let's let the cards shuffle for a moment... And here they all are!" Marian called.

1. Ash VS Necro

2. Carl VS Dawn

3. Zoey VS Wendy

4. William VS Jessilina

"Well, what do you know! It's Me against you, Necro! Right off the bat!" Ash exclaimed
Necro grew stunned as well as scared what if the same thing happens that happened when Scout was teaching her how to even battle.
What if she does something worng or if the crowd laughs at her?

"What... It's Me against Ash? Huh..." Necro gasped.

"I'm sure the two of you will be great at the same time in the battle!" Dawn giggled.

"That's true it doesn't matter witch of you move on just as long as you both have fun during the battle," Brock said.

"Yea your right Brock, and thanks I needed that," Necro said.

"Thanks, Dawn! First, we get the Jublife Ribbon, then we go get to the Oreburgh Badge!" Ash exclaimed.

Necro noticed that Zoey glaring at Ash. "What's Zoey looking at? Did Me or Ash do something wrong?" She thought as she narrowed her eyes.

"Hey, Necro? Let's both just do our best!" Ash exclaimed.

"Hold on, Ash. A Contest Battle is way different than the things you do in normal battles!" Dawn tried to persuade. But, Ash shrugged it off.

"Nah. I'm sure that we can handle any battles that they will throw at us!" Ash chuckled.

Zoey walked over, irritated with something about Ash. "Hold it right there! Are you entering the Sinnoh League?" Zoey asked.

"Yeah! That what I came to Sinnoh for in the first place?" Ash explained.

"That goes for Me as well? But do you have a problem with that?" Necro asked witch shoked Ash, Brock and Dawn.

"Of course. I do if that's why you two are here in Sinnoh, why did you both decide to compete in Contests for?" Zoey demanded. Everyone grew confused as they stared at the experienced of a Coordinator making Zoey sighed in annoyance.

"You two obviously can't even tell the difference between Gyms and Contests! I'd remember that if I were you." Zoey snorted as she walked away.

"That's where you're wrong! I do know a thing or two on how to battle in a Contest battle!" Necro snapped at her back.

Zoey stopped for a moment, before she kept on walking, while Dawn was bewildered with her new friend's sudden change of behavior. "What was that?" Dawn asked.

"Who cares? I'll just battle the way I do! Rock and roll!" Ash exclaimed as he swung his arms around.

"Here it is, folks! The moment you have been waiting for! It's the second round battle!" Marian announced. The crowd cheered for the first battle, which was Necro against Ash. They both stared at each other, with different thoughts in mind with a bit of worry.

"I just hope that I do good... This is My very first Contest battle after all please dad wherever you are I hope your watching Me." Necro thought.

(Meanwhile In Sinnoh At Somewhere Unknown)
(In The Leader Of Team Rocket's POV)

I sighed softly while I looked at the picture of My little baby girl, she should be around ten years old now..

I couldn't help but wonder if she whoud pick the very same starter Pokemon as I did back when I was that age..

A knock stopped My thoughts and I called out to whoever it was, a person walked into the room and when I saw just who it was, Necro's real mother.

"Hello, G-" I cut her off.

"What do you want Pokemon Hunter ?" I asked her maybe she was here trying to strike a new deal with Me.

"Ohh I'm just here to show you some of the new things for sale," She said before she noticed the picture of Necro on the table which mead her sigh.

"I know how you feel Grivanni, but you can't change what has already happened in the past," she said.

Yeah I had sleept with two different women and both of them had given birth however both children died from childbirth however being rich and during that time I had full control of the human mead pokemon from Mew, called Mewtwo witch with the help of their DNA samples samt the DNA samples from some other pokemon helped Me to bring My daughter back.

(End Of His POV)
(Meanwhile Back At The Contest)

As Ash looked at the Necro "I've got to be careful! Who knows what Necro might have up her sleeve? Since she is a Coordinator, after all." Ash thought.

"The Coordinator who strips off most of the points from their opponents, with having the most points wins! So, the first battle will be Ash from one side, and Necro on the other side! And... We're off!" Marian announced. The timer began to start the countdown!

(Back In Necro's POV)

5:00 to 4:59

Necro: Chimchar VS Ash: Aipom

"Okay, Aipom! I choose you!" Ash called. The Star Capsule Ball released Aipom!

"Chimchar, it's time for a battle!" I called My own pokemon to take the stage.

"The Fire Capsule Ball released Chimchar! "And here are Chimchar and Aipom, taking off!" Marian called as the battle began.

"Alright, Aipom! Use Focus Punch, now!" Ash called. Aipom aimed a punch at Chimchar with its tail!

"Chimchar, spin to dodge it!" I called. The young Chimp Pokémon smirked as he spun, evading the incoming Focus Punch, much to Aipom's surprise.

Ash gasped with this result as Marian was in awe of the spin dodge. "And Chimchar dodges the Focus Punch from Aipon with a swift spin! A crafty and nice dodge!" Marian commented. Some of Ash's points started to drop a little bit I decided to keep it up and continued on the next attack.

Ash: 94 points

"You've had your chance, Ash. Now it's My turn! Chimchar, use Flame Wheel, now!" I called. Chimchar charged at Aipom with the giant Flame Wheel! All the judges were shocked by the size of the Fire Type attack.

"Oh My! Look at that Flame Wheel!" Mr. Contesta gasped.

"What an incredible display of a Flame Wheel! Chimchar's attack seem to be burning hot, that even the judges are speechless to see this view! A truly, beautiful display!" Marina commented, as more of Ash's points were drained away from his point counter.

Ash: 82 points

"Oh no you don't! Aipom, charge up Focus Punch, then get ready!" Ash called. As Chimchar charged at Aipom, the Normal Type got ready to strike back. Seeing this, I got an idea however I had to do it quickly so I called to My partner just in time. "Switch to Ember, Chimchar!" I called.

Chimchar nodded and immediately stopped the wheel, while firing Aipom with the Fire Type attack! making Aipom lost its focus and was sent tumbling on the ground, much to her shock as she screeched in pain.

"What there's no way!" Ash gasped. Dawn and Brock gasped to see this as well.

"Just as Aipom charges its Focus Punch, preparing for the Flame Wheel, as Necro ordered a switch to the move of Ember! It was a trick!" Marian announced.

Ash: 69 points

"But how!?" Ash gasped.

"You thought you could pull that on Me, did you, Ash? After seeing Flame Wheel, you prepared Aipom's Focus Punch! I'm not gonna fall for something like that I told him.

"Well, in that case, Aipom, use Swift!" Ash called. Aipom spun while using the Swift attack! The stars gathered around and surrounded Chimchar!

"Now just what is he even planning with that?" I whispered, until I blinked, realizing what this very combination meant.

Just then, a piece of star began to float towards Aipom! "Now, Aipom! Use Focus Punch on that star!" Ash ordered. Aipom sent the flying star back, causing all the other stars to fly towards Chimchar with an incredible speed giving Chimchar no chance to get out of the way in time.

"Ohh no Chimchar!" Chimchar groaned in pain as it covered its eyes! I gasped.

Necro: 80 points

"And Ash and Aipom makes the perfect surprise attack by a surrounding Swift! What a combo!" Marian commented.

"How do you like that, huh, Necro?" Ash grinned.

"Don't get so cocky! I'm still way ahead of you! Chimchar, spin with Ember!" I called.

Chimchar struggled against the Swift as it spun while firing Ember. It destroyed the stars, giving him the shine. Aipom and Ash gasped by this.

"Wow she's really not going to give up! She and her Chimchar both delivers a spark to Ash and Aipom by destroying Swift and giving Chimchar the spark!" Marian announced.

Ash: 58 points

Me and Ash both turned to see the clock, revealing that there was only 2 minutes left! "Alright, Aipom! Use Focus Punch once more!" Ash called. Aipom again aimed a punch towards Chimchar.

"Block the tail, Chimchar, and grab it!" I called.

Chimchar's eyes glinted with light as it blocked the focused Fighting Type move! "Ai!?" Aipom shrieked with a surprise.

"What a block! Chimchar stopped Focus Punch with its senses!" Marian announced.

"Try this, Ash! Use Fury Swipes with your free hand!" I smirked.

Chimchar began hitting Ash's Aipom with Fury Swipes! "Not yet! Aipom, use Double Team, then use a Swift!" Ash called. Aipom made clones of itself, then all of them fired Swift! Chimchar grew blinded by the bright stars attacking him!

"This is unbelievable! Both Pokémon aren't about to be giving up!" Marian commented.

"Huff... Huff..." I panted. Ash grew tired himself as both of their Pokémon panted with exhaustion! Dawn and Brock both frowned at this situation.

"Whoa... Necro looks like she has an advantage Brock, but the strength between the two seems to be equal!" Dawn pointed out.

"Not only that, they seem to be doing a regular battle, while performing a Contest combination at the same time! I think the judges seem to agree by the shocked and awed look on their face expressions." Brock explained, folding his arms.

"Pika Pika!" "Shinx! Shinx!" "Piplup! Pip Piplup!" Pikachu, Shinx, and Piplup cheered for the two on, hoping to encourage them to keep the battling up. The points on the scoreboard has stopped, revealing the current points for a Me and Ash.

Necro: 60 points

Ash: 35 points

1:00 to 0:59

"We only have a minute left!" Marian warned.

"Alright, Aipom! Let's make this right! Use Focus Punch once more!" Ash called. Aipom aimed a punch towards Chimchar!

"Is that really it? Chimchar, block it with Flame Wheel again!" I called hoping that My pokemon whoud beabel to block it in time.

Both Flame Wheel and Focus Punch made contact with each other, causing a bright light from the center of the two attacks! An explosion occurred, blowing both Chimchar and Aipom back to their trainers.

Ash: 21 points

Necro: 51 points

0:30 to 0:29

"Only thirty seconds left!" Marian announced. "Aipom, quick! Use Double Team! Then, use Focus Punch!" Ash called. Once again, Aipom made clones of itself and all aimed a Focus Punch!

"Chimchar, dodge, then counter with a swift Ember!" I called since I might not beabel to make it to the next round if Chimchar were to get hit even one single time..

Chimchar dodged the multiple attacks causing all the clones to attack itself as Chimchar demolished all of them with an Ember attack! "Aipom, just hang in there! Let's give it one more try! Use Focus Punch again!" Ash called.

Aipom ran to the exhausted Chimchar who gasped in panic! My widened eyes as I desperately called to My Fire Type. "No! Dodge it, Chimchar!" I yelled. Suddenly, just as Focus Punch made contact, there was a loud beep!

0:00

"Time! And the winner of the first battle round is..." Marian annouced. Everyone turned to the plasma screen to see the points. One of the Coordinator seemed to have a few amount of points higher than the other as board revealed who the winner was.

Ash: 10 points

Necro: 44 points

Winner: Necro

"The winner is Necro!" Marian called. Everyone cheered for Me and Chimchar! The Fire Type starter running to Me and he jumped into My arms and gave Me a big hug, while laughing happily in triumph witch mead Me laugh before I hugged him back.

"An impressive tactic of battling to go against with so many special moves!" Mr. Contesta commented.

"Also, remarkable!" Mr. Sukizo stated.

"A nice battle to represent the friendship between the two trainers and their Pokémon!" Nurse Joy replied.

I looked to see Ash thanking Aipom for its efforts...

(End Of Necro's POV)

Later, the two trainers were back at the waiting room, meeting Dawn and Brock. "That was one of the most incredible Contest battles I've ever seen!" Dawn admitted in amazement.

"You two almost had a tie! That is, Ash. Don't you think it was a little too wild?" Brock asked.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I forgot that I was supposed to show My moves off instead!" Ash laughed nervously. "You got that right... It was like we were having a regular battle..." Necro sighed.

"Well, Ash, I think a Contest isn't something for you to attend." Zoey explained.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Ash laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Hey, guess what, Zoey! The real reason why Ash entered the Contest was that Aipom wanted to try it out!" Dawn explained.

"Aipom?" Zoey repeated, taking a look at Aipom. They all saw Aipom eating its Pokémon food with Chimchar, as a reward for their efforts.

Necro looked to see Ash thanking Aipom for its efforts. Later, the two trainers were back at the waiting room, meeting Dawn and Brock. "That was one of the most incredible Contest battles I've ever seen!" Dawn admitted in amazement.

"You two almost had a tie! That is, Ash. Don't you think it was a little too wild?" Brock asked.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I forgot that I was supposed to show My moves off instead!" Ash laughed nervously.

"You got that right... It was like we were having a regular battle..." Dawn sighed.

Zoey came by, still looking at Ash and Necro with the same look from before. "What do you want now? Is there a problem with us being here? Or are you just here to lecture us with something?" Necro accused, narrowing her eyes at the other girl. Chimchar frowned upon the girl's appearance as well.

Dawn frowned, as she tried to stop Necro, only for Brock to hold her back. For Zoey, she closed her eyes and sighed. "It's just that, that both the Flame Wheel and Focus Punch... It felt so powerful." Zoey explained, as she looked at the two.

Zoey then laughed a little. "Thanks, you two. You both showed me a great battle!" Zoey thanked. "Well, it was our pleasure." Ash replied, grinning a little. The experienced Coordinator nodded back, before she turned to the Kanto trainer with a teasing smile.

"Well, Ash, I think a Contest isn't something for you to attend." Zoey explained.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Ash laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Hey, guess what, Zoey! The real reason why Ash entered the Contest was that Aipom wanted to try it out!" Dawn explained.

"Aipom?" Zoey repeated, taking a look at Aipom. They all saw Aipom eating its Pokémon food with Chimchar, as a reward for their efforts.

"Yeah. That's the reason why Ash had entered in the first place." Brock explained. Zoey took a moment to think about something.

"Yeah. That's the reason why Ash had entered in the first place." Brock explained. Zoey took a moment to think about something.

"I know! Dawn, why don't you raise Aipom?" Zoey asked. The heroes grew bewildered to hear Zoey's decision as Dawn began to think about it, along with the Kanto trainer. So, the contest for the second round has been decided.

"Here are the matches for the semi-finals of the Jublife Contest! Here they are!" Marian announced cutting Dawn off as she opened her mouth. Everyone turned to the plasma screen as the four cards revealed themselves for the semi-finals!

1. Necro VS Dawn

2. Zoey VS Jessilina

"Oh! I'm against Necro now!" Dawn gasped.
Necro grew stunned as well. She wanted to fight against Dawn in the finals, but ended up fighting against her in the semi-finals!

"Well, Dawn. Let's both do our best in this round!" Necro grinned. Dawn turned to face her.

"R-Right! No holding back!" Dawn agreed. Zoey smiled to see Dawn and Necro being friends, even if they are going against each other.

"Okay, folks! The first round of the semi-finals will now begin! With Necro on one side, and with Dawn on the other side! So now, with five minutes on the clock, let the match begin!" Marian announced.

5:00 to 4:59

Necro: Chimchar VS Dawn: Buneary

"Here goes! Buneary, spotlight!" Dawn called. The Rabbit Pokémon appeared out of the Capsule Ball! "Chimchar, it's time for battle!" Necro called, calling her Fire Type starter.

"Here is Chimchar and Buneary, facing against each other!" Marian announced.

"Alright! Buneary, start this up with Ice Beam!" Dawn called. Buneary fired Ice Beam towards Chimchar!

"Intercept the ice with Ember!" Necro called. Chimchar fired Ember to collide with Ice Beam!

Ember and Ice Beam pitted together, until Ember overpowered Ice Beam and blasted Buneary away! "Oh no! Buneary!" Dawn gasped.

"Now follow this up with Flame Wheel!" Necro ordered. As Buneary was sent flying in the air, Chimchar bashed into the Normal Type with Flame Wheel, leaving some burn marks!

"Wow! Chimchar overpowers the Ice Beam and smacks Buneary away with a Flame Wheel!" Marian said as she looked on.

Necro: 100 points

Dawn: 82 points

"Alright. Then, let's try this! Buneary, use Bounce!" Dawn shouted. Buneary leapt toward the air to make a powerful attack!

"Hmph. She's trying to make a surprise attack. Well, it won't happen! Chimchar, use Ember toward the air!" Necro smirked. Fireballs blinded Buneary as she was forced to stop Bounce!

"And Chimchar stops Bounce by causing a bright light for Buneary! A marvelous trick to use!" Marian commented.

Dawn: 67 points

Necro: 100 points

"Chimchar! Use Scratch, go!" Necro called. As Dawn looked up, she saw Chimchar dropping down to lay an attack on Buneary!

"Buneary, quick! Grab Chimchar!" Dawn yelled. Buneary struggled to get up and grabbed Chimchar's arm with her ears!

"What the!?" Necro gasped as Chimchar tried to free himself from the ear grip!

"And Buneary blocks the tackle attack with her ears! How cute!" Marian commented.

Dawn: 67 points

Necro: 87 points

"Whoa. She made quite a block. But, she made a mistake for this! Chimchar, fire things up with a Flame Wheel!" Necro called. Dawn gasped. At this close range, Buneary will take a direct hit!

"Buneary, get out of there, quick!" Dawn shrieked. Just as Chimcahr used Flame Wheel, Buneary released Chimchar and used Bounce!

"!" Necro grew startled to see a high jump! "Now, Buneary, use Ice Beam!" Dawn shouted. Ice formed on the floor as Chimchar landed, he slipped!

This is bad!

"Oh My! Would you look at this!? Buneary has Chimchar cornered with the Ice floor tactic!" Marian exclaimed.

Dawn: 67 points

Necro: 73 points

"Alright, Buneary! Use Dizzy Punch now!" Dawn yelled. Buneary began to punch the Fire Type Pokémon, until Chimchar leaped into the air!

"We won't let you get away so easily! Chimchar, spin with Ember!" Necro called. making her Chimchar blasted Buneary towards the ground!

"Ah! Buneary! Use Bounce, again!" Dawn called. Buneary once again leapt to the air for an aerial attack!

"It'll be like before! Chimchar, use Ember at the air!" Necro called. Once again, Chimchar fired Ember towards the air!

"Now, Buneary! Use Dizzy Punch at Chimchar!" Dawn called. Buneary dived to the ground, just before punching Chimchar with her ears!

"What no way!" Necro gasped as she saw how that moved mead Buneary look perfect.

"And Buneary dodges Ember, while making a counterattack for Chimchar!" Marian exclaimed.

Dawn: 67 points

Necro: 58 points

"This is bad. At this case, if this keeps up, Chimchar and I will lose this Contest for sure!" Necro thought, gritting his teeth hidden. "Chimchar, use Flame Wheel with full power!" Necro called.

Chimchar nodded as it smashed into Buneary with the giant Fire Type move! "Oh no!" Dawn gasped. As Buneary landed, Chimchar made another move!

"Use Fury Swipes on the ice!" Necro called. Chimchar slashed the ice, sending it to Buneary! Buneary couldn't see with the throwing ice on her face!

"Buneray, hang in there!" Dawn pleaded. "Wrap this up with Flame Wheel once more!" Necro called. As Buneary struggled to get up, Chimchar bashed into it with another Flame Wheel! Buneary tumbled on the ground, groaning with pain.

"Buneary, no! Come on! Get up!" Dawn pleaded, but it was too late.

0:00

"Time's up! And the winner for the first semi-final match is... Necro!" Marian announced.

Necro: 50 points

Dawn: 40 points

Chimchar ran to Necro's arms! Necro hugged her Chimchar, thanking him again for his best efforts. Necro looked up to see Dawn sigh, and thank Buneary for giving it all. Necro thought that she heard a sniffle from Dawn. That made her grow worried for her.

Later, while Zoey was battling Jessilina, Necro walked around the hall to find Dawn. "Mom, I'm just really sorry that I lost." Dawn replied.

Necro walked to see Dawn talking to her mother, Johanna. She sounded like she was going to cry! "You don't have to apologize to Me. Apologize to your Pokémon if you are really sorry!" Johanna scolded.

Necro grew shocked as he saw Dawn beginning to cry!

"Stop crying, Dawn!" Johanna ordered. Immediately, Dawn stopped with a little blush.

"There are better things to do. Like, trying to think of what you did wrong in your very performance or your battle! Then, you can figure out what you can do for your next Contest!" Johanna suggested.

"Okay." Dawn agreed sadly.

"One more thing. You don't need to call me every time you win or lose! You've got good friends like Ash and Brock, and your new friend Necro with you! You also have your Pokémon with you! Talk to your friends! Not to your own mother!" Johanna advised.

With that, Dawn nodded. "Now, Necro's final match should be starting up. So, you should at least go see your friend!" Johanna suggested.

"Right! Bye, Mom!" Dawn exclaimed, shutting down the video phone. As Dawn turned, she gasped.

Necro was standing right next to her! "Oh... You heard everything." Dawn replied, blushing.

"Even though we either win or lose, we're still friends, right?" She asked..

"Win the Contest for Me, Necro." Dawn sniffled.

"I will." Necro grinned as she hugged her back.

"Here it is, folks! The final round of the Jublife Contest Appeal Battle round! We have two Coordinators who have fought their way up to the finals! It's Zoey on one side, and with Necro on the other!" Marian announced.

"So, this is it, huh?" Zoey smirked.

"It sure is." Necro replied as calmly as she could Ash, Dawn, and Brock watched them from the sidelines.

"You can do it, Necro!" Ash called.

"Pika Pika!" Pikachu shouted out, Necro nodded to them as she looked back at Zoey!

"So, five minutes on the clock... begin!" Marian called.

5:00 to 4:59

Zoey: Glameow VS Necro: Chimchar

"Glameow! Curtains up!" Zoey called. Glameow appeared from its Ribbon Capsule Ball!

"Chimchar, it's time for a battle!" Necro called, sending her Chimchar from the Fire Capsule Ball!

"Here is Glameow and Chimchar, all geared up!" Marian stated. "Chimchar, use Ember!" Necro called. Chimchar fired Ember at Glameow!

"Glameow, use Shadow Claw!" Zoey called.
Witch mead Necro tensed when she heard the move of Shadow Claw! Glameow's claw was covered by darkness as it slashed through Ember!

"Wow! Talk about beauty! Glameow cut through Ember, to make Shadow Claw heating up!" Marian exclaimed.

"Don't count on it! Chimchar, use Flame Wheel!" Necro called. Chimchar used this chance to charge at Glameow with Flame Wheel! Glameow was smashed by the Fire Type move!

"Glameow!" Zoey gasped.

Necro: 90 points

Zoey: 85 points

"That's some point loss for Zoey there!" Marian announced.

"There's more! Chimchar, use Tackle!" Necro called.

"Counter with Fury Swipes!" Zoey yelled. Both Chimchar and Glameow clashed with their physical attacks! Glameow, however, seemed to be getting ahead of Chimchar!

"We've got you now! Iron Tail, let's go!" Zoey called. Glameow aimed an Iron Tail at Chimchar!

"Grab the tail, quick!" Necro called.

Chimchar grabbed Glameow's tail! Iron Tail was stopped! "What!?" Zoey gasped.

Necro: 90 points

Zoey: 74 points

"What a block! Chimchar managed to hold onto Iron Tail there!" Marian commented. "Well, that's something I was expecting! Now, Glameow! Spin!" Zoey called. Glameow splined ner tail, causing Chimchar to go off balance! The Fire Type was sent toward the air! "Use this chance to use Shadow Claw!" Zoey called. "Agh! No you don't! Intercept with Flame Wheel, Chimchar!" Hikaru yelled. Flame Wheel and Shadow Claw clashed! "It's like a knight against knight! Neither of them seems to be giving up!" Marian announced.

Necro: 81 points

Zoey: 62 points

"She's really doing it!" Dawn exclaimed.

"Those combinations that Necro and Chimchar made are quite impressive together," Brock stated.

"Go, Necro you can do it!" Ash called.

"Chimchar, spin with Ember!" Necro called. Chimchar pushed Glameow away and made his combination by using Ember! It fired right at Glameow, blinding it by the light!

"Argh! Glameow! Counter that with a spin with Iron Tail!" Zoey called.

"Just as I thought! Chimchar quick, use Flame Wheel!" Necro yelled. There was another clash, Iron Tail this time! "Use Scratch, quick!" Necro called. Chimchar rapidly slashed at Glameow!

"No you don't Glameow! Use Fury Swipes, quick!" Zoey shouted. Glameow successfully slashed at Chimchar who screeched in pain!

"That's graceful for Glameow to have such a speed and beauty on the Fury Swipes!" Marian commented.

Zoey: 57 points

Necro: 65 points

1:00 to 0:59

"Were almost out of time!" Marian warned. "Let's end this! Glameow, use Shock Wave!" Zoey called. Just as Glameow attacked, however Necro had a plan!

"Quick Chimchar, spin on your back while using Ember!" Necro called. Chimchar nodded as he spun on his back, intercepting all the Electric Tyoe attacks by using Ember! Witch mead light sprinkled down on Chimchar!

"No way!" Zoey gasped.

"And here it is, folks! Chimchar blocked all the Shock Wave attacks with a perfect counter of Ember!" Marian announced.

Zoey: 42 points

Necro: 42 points

"Let's wrap this up! Glameow, use Iron Tail!" Zoey called.

"Chimchar, counter with Flame Wheel!" Necro yelled. WHAM! Both attacks collided, causing an explosion! Both Chimchar and Glameow skidded back with bruises on thme! They both made an attempt to make one more attack! Bu then...

0:00

"Time! And the winner of the Jublife City Contest is..." Marian called. Everyone turned to the scoring board.

Zoey: 31 points

Necro: 40 points

"And it's Necro!" Marian announced. Everyone cheered loud for the two winners!

"We... won?" Necro asked shoked, not believing what had happened. Chimchar weakly leapt to Necro's arms and snuggled into her!

"Chim..." Chimchar sighed as he hugged his best friend and trainer Necro smiled as she hugged her pokemon back.

"Let's all give Necro a big hand for winning the Jublife Ribbon! A beautiful and a great teamwork she has made with her two Pokémon; Shinx and Chimchar!" Marian announced. After the battle was over, every Coordinator and the judges made an awarding ceremony to give Necro the Jublife Ribbon! Necro who smirked lightly as he held his first Jublife Ribbon up high! Everyone applauded for Necro, with Dawn and Ash in it, too!

(Later)

"How wonderful, sweetie! I can't believe you've won yourself your first ribbon in your first Contest!" Hinata squealed with delight.

"Yeah. I could think of it as My first achievement for the incoming Grand Festival, Mom!" Necro exclaimed.

"Necro. Promise Me one single thing." Hinata requested.

"What is it, Mom?" Necro asked her mother.

"Promise Me that you will do everything you can to enter the Sinnoh League and the Grand Festival!" Hinata exclaimed. Necro smiled and nodded. before she continued

"That's a promise, Mom!" She pledged before ending the call.

Necro shut down the video phone and went outside, to see her three friends. "Congrats, Necro! You did it! You deserve the win!" Dawn giggled.

"Well, it was all thanks to My Pokémon and you guys! You all helped Me gain some confidence for My very first Contest!" Necro confessed.

"Well, I'm sure that you'll be ready for the next Contest, I hope!" Brock chuckled.

"So Necro where are you hedding to next?" Ash asked the girl standing across from him.

"Ohh I'll be going to Oreburgh City to challenge the Gym there but why where are you guys hedding?" Necro asked him back.

"Well we're gonna go there as well since I'll be challenging the gym for Myself," Necro grinned when she heard him.

"Hey Necro since we're all gonna go there as well do you want to travel with us?" Brock said.

"What you really wanna travel with Me?" Necro asked as she looked to the right.

"Of course," said all 3 of them.
