☾ >> ——— [Break Scene] ——— <<☽

After saying their goodbye to Misty and Togepi, today we find our friends taking a break at a local Pokémon Centre, but one of them isn't relaxing.

Brock was on the computer, checking his emails.

"Brock has been checking his emails every time we stop at a Pokémon Centre." Yuna commented.

"Must be important." Alain said.

"Well we know that it can't be from Brock's family because they prefer calling them by phone." Yuna said.

"Guess we have to wait and see." Volkner said.

Brock continues to look through them and one came up, the one that he is expecting, "Yes, I finally got an email from Suzie." He smiled.

"Suzie?" Takato and Mairin said.

"The one who gave Vulpix to Brock." Alain reminded them.

"Oh! We remember."

"What does Suzie's email say Brock?" Yuna asked.

"She's coming back for a Pokémon Contest in a place call Bonitaville." Brock answered.

"Pi?" Light said.

"And... She has been trying to find a Pokémon she could enter with."

"How far is Bonitaville?" Mairin asked.

Alain checked the PokéNav Plus map, "It's a little far but if we leave now, we should be able to make it." He replied.

Brock got up from his seat, "Come on guys, it's time to go." He said.

The gang left the Pokémon Centre and headed their way to Bonitaville to find Suzy.

☾ >> ——— [Break Scene] ——— <<☽

When the gang arrived at Bonitaville, they walked through the town trying to Suzy.

"Wow, look at everyone." Mairin awed.

When they arrived, the gang had notice that lots of trainers and their Pokémon looked really stylish. Some Pokémon even had fancy makeup on, plenty of accessories and their furs looked every well brushed.

"They must be here for the contest." Volkner said.

"You know. Brock, you never told us what kind of contest this is." Yuna said to the Breeder.

"It's a Pokémon Beauty Contest." Brock said.

Both kids blinked, "A Pokémon Beauty Contest?"

"That's right." Brock said, as he brushes Vulpix's fur. "Suzie going to enter with Vulpix in the Contest."

"What exactly is going to happen to Vulpix Brock? You mention that Vulpix never truely belonged to you." Volkner questioned.

"She doesn't, never in the first place. Vulpix will always belong to Suzie and I knew that one day, I'm going to have return Vulpix back." Brock explained. "So why not today."

"Vulpix!" Vulpix jumped out of Brock's arms and started to run off. "Vul!"

"Hey Vulpix, where are you going?!" Brock called out and ran after it.

"Vulpix must've felt Suzie nearby." Yuna said.

"Let's go." Alain said.

They rest of the gang ran after Brock and Vulpix.

• • • • •

"Vulpix! Vulpix!" Vulpix jumped into a woman's arm.

The woman's arm is Suzie Yuki.

Suzie was surprised and caught her fox Pokémon, "Oh Vulpix! I'm so happy to see you again." She hugged her Pokémon.

"It is Suzie." Yuna smile.

"Hello Suzie!" Takato and Mairin greeted.

Alain greeted with a nod.

Suzie smiled, seeing the gang again, "Hello."

Yuna introduces Volkner to Suzie.

"Hello Suzie and these are for you." Brock handed his fellow Breeder a batch of red roses.

"Oh, thank you Brock." Suzie took the roses, "And I thank you for taking great care of Vulpix. I can tell that you have taken excellent care of her." She complimented.

"It was my pleasure Suzie. Vulpix is a great Pokémon to have around." Brock said.

Then a young man with really light brown hair and black eyes, wearing a blue shirt with a orange suit jacket over the top, tan pants and black shoes, walked up to Suzie and Vulpix, "Hey Suzie, I look forward of going against you in this Beauty Contest." He said and a Ninetales is beside him.

"Same with you Zane." Suzie said.

Zane gave Suzie a smiled.

☾ >> ——— [Break Scene] ——— <<☽

Right now gang, Suzie and 'Zane' went to a cafe and sat at a table all together.

"Everyone I would like you to meet Zane Hibiki. We've know each other since we were in Nursery School and even way back then, we both wanted to be Breeders and we even started out with our own Vulpix." Suzie explained.

"That's true. But then I decided to evolve my Vulpix into a Ninetales some time ago." Zane said.

"Seems like you and Zane have a lot in common Suzie." Yuna pointed out.

Suzie nodded, "We do. But we also have a lot of disagreements. You see, the truth is that Zane cares about Pokémon's beauty on the outside and I care about Pokémon beauty's on the inside." She explained.

Zane chuckled, "You certainly haven't changed at all Suzie." He stood up from his seat, "Well Ninetales and I better go now and get ready. Good luck in the Contest Suzie." He left with his Ninetales.

Suzie watched as Zane walked off, "Zane hasn't changed either, even though he likes competing against me, he is still really nice." She said, fondly.

"Hmmm." Brock carefully watched when his two fellow Breeders interact with each other. He has a feeling that Suzie and Zane have feelings for each other.

☾ >> ——— [Break Scene] ——— <<☽

Soon the Beauty Contest is about to start.

Yuna, Takato, Alain, Mairin and Volkner all took their seats in the audience section.

"This is going to be amazing. What name is Brock and Suzie?" Mairin asked.

Yuna had the schedule program of the Beauty Contest in her hands, she looked through it, "It says here that Suzie and Brock are number 37 and after them is Zane." She read.

• • • • •

Brock, Suzie and Zane were waiting in the Waiting Room back stage, for their turn.

Brock and Suzie were both giving Vulpix a final brush.

"I thank you for letting me take part in this Contest with you and Vulpix Suzie." Brock told the Breeder.

Suzie smiled, "It's my pleasure Brock, beside I also thank you for being here with me." She said.

Zane was looking at the interaction between Brock and Suzie, with a jealous look on his face. The truth is Zane likes Suzie and he left jealous of Brock being near her, but he didn't want to admit his feelings yet.

BANG! The doors slammed opened, revealing two people in white jackets.

"Attention please, attention please! Were Pokémon Doctors from the Pokémon Breeders Doctor Division." The female doctor announced.

"Were here to perform examination on all the Pokémon entered in the contest." The male doctor explains.

"Huh? How come nobody told us?" Brock questioned.

Suzie frowned, "Thats strange, I never heard anything about an examination." She said.

"The rules has changed." The female doctor said.

"Something doesn't feel right." Brock frowned.

The Pokémon Doctors led all the Pokémon out of the Waiting Room to another room.

The trainers wanted to be with their Pokémon, but the doctors didn't allow them too and just left with the Pokémon.

• • • • •

The truth is that the so called Pokémon Doctors were actually Jessie and James in disguise.

Jessie and James led the Pokémon into a big metal container with Meowth get ready to leave.

Team Rocket plan is for them to steal all the Pokémon at the Beauty Contest.

"This plan of yours was great idea Meowth." Jessie praises.

"Of course, I always come up with great ideas."
Meowth boasted.

"Whoever thought that there would be so many Pokémon at this Beauty Contest?" James questioned.

"Geniuses like us of course." Meowth replied.

"Come on, let's make our way with these Pokémon's before anyone finds out." Jessie said.

Team Rocket attaches the container to their hot air balloon and got their balloon fired up, ready to lift off.

• • • • •

Meanwhile the Beauty Contest had just started, but no contestant were coming out onto the stage.

"Errr, number 25! Will entry number 25, please report to the stage!" The announcer called out a contestant number, unsure what to do.

"That's weird, the contestant should've been coming on stage by now." Yuna said.

"Let's head to the back." Volkner spoke up, "Something might have happened."

Yuna, Takato, Alain, Mairin and Volkner all stood up from their seats and left, heading to the Waiting Room in the back.

• • • • •

Once the gang reached the Waiting Room, they notice the door was locked.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Yuna knocked on the door, "Brock!? Suzie!?" She called out.

"Yuna, is that you?" Brock called out from the side of the door. "Get us out of here!"

"What happened?" Alain asked.

"Some Pokémon Doctors came and took all the contestant Pokémon for an examination." Suzie voice was heard.

"What?!" Mairin and Takato exclaimed, shocked.

"We never seen any Pokémon Doctors on our way here." Volkner said.

"WHAT?!" The contestant all exclaimed out.

Yuna immediately unlocked the door.

All the contestant came out and headed outside, looking for their Pokémon.

"Where could those doctors go?" Suzie asked, worried for her Vulpix.

Rhys ears twitched, he looked up and spotted a hot air balloon, "Pi! Pichu Pichu!" He pointed upwards.

Volkner looked up and saw Team Rocket balloon, "Team Rocket."

Everyone else looked up and spotted Team Rocket.

"It's Team Rocket balloon!" Mairin and Takato exclaimed out.

"Yuki, use Moonblast!" Yuna sent out her Alolan fox Pokémon.

"Ninetales~" Yukimi appeared and fired a Moonblast towards Team Rocket balloon.

The Moonblast hits the Meowth head balloon, making a hole and both balloon and big container landed on the ground with a loud 'THUD!'.

Team Rocket all groaned in pain.

"W-What happened?" James asked, struggling to get up.

"I don't know, but someone is messing with our plan." Jessie growled out, as she got up.

"Hello Team Rocket." Yuna greeted, casually.

"Pi Pikachu!" Light said.

"Huh? Ah!" Team Rocket yelped as they looked up and notice the gang and all the trainers in front of them.

"I should've known that you would ruin our plan twerps!" Jessie growled.

Takato and Mairin were both in front of the large container.

"Arf!" Zack barked.

"Vulpix! Vul!" Suzie's Vulpix called out from the inside.

"Zack use Iron Tail." Takato ordered as he and Mairin moved back.

Zack barked twice, his tail glowed metallic colour and he slammed it onto the lock of the container.

"Vulpix!" Vulpix smiled and the container door were opened.

"Ninetales~" Zane's Ninetales smiled.

All the Pokémon that were inside the container all ran out, to their trainers.

"Oh no!" Meowth yelped.

Suzie, Zane and all the trainers were happy to have their Pokémon back.

"Grrrr, you twerps always get in our way!" James and Jessie growled out.

"Team Rocket, if you think that you are going to ruin this Beauty Contest for the Breeders you are so wrong." Brock said.

"Ninetales~" Yukimi nodded.

"It's a fight! Go Cloyster!" Jessie sent out her bivalve Pokémon.

"Cloyster." It said.

"Go Victreebel!" James sent out the flycatcher Pokémon.

"Vicreee!" It appeared.

"Meowth! Don't forget me!" The scratch cat Pokémon said, joining in.

"Let's go Yuki." Yuna said.

"Ninetales~" Yukimi said, ready.

"We'll help." Suzie said as her Vulpix stood beside her.

"Same here." Zane said, as his Ninetales is ready, "They are a disgrace to those who work with Pokémon, so intend to teach them a lesson.

"Vulpix," Suzie started.

"Ninetales," Zane started.

"Use Fire Spin!" They both commanded.

"Yuki use Dazzling Gleam." Yuna said.

"Vvuullllll..."

"Nnninnneee..."

"Piixxxx!"

"Taaalesss!"

Both Kanto Fire-type fox Pokémon fires a Fire Spin.

"Ninetales Nine!" Yukimi fires a pink beam towards the Fire Spin, creating a beautiful glittering tornado of flames.

"Wow!" The trainers were amazed at the sight of the glittering Fire Spin tornado.

"GAHAHHHHH!" Team Rocket cried out, in alarm of the flames got even closer, "GYAAAAAA!"

BOOM! BLAST!

"TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" Team Rocket cries out, as they are flying away.

☾ >> ——— [Break Scene] ——— <<☽

With Team Rocket gone, the Beauty Contest is now, right back on schedule.

Yuna, Takato, Alain, Mairin and Volkner were in the Waiting room with Brock, Suzie and Zane.

"You know Suzie, I've been thinking..." Zane started, looking at Suzie, "I've been thinking about you and I opening up a Pokémon Beauty Salon together."

Suzie looked at Zane, surprised by this.

"That's not a bad idea." Alain commented.

"It's a wonderful idea. I mean, I can actually see Suzie and Zane working together perfectly." Yuna said.

"That's true. Suzie can work on Pokémon Beauty on the inside and Zane can work on Pokémon Beauty on the outside." Brock commented.

"It's a perfect combination!" Takato and Mairin said, together.

Suzie looked at the gang and smiled, she looked at Zane, "I accept Zane. Let's make the Pokémon Beauty Inside and Outside Salon." She said.

Zane nodded, he gave Suzie a smile, "Let's."

"Vulpix Vulll!" Vulpix called out.

"Ninetales Nine!" Ninetales smiled.

"Right. This belongs back to you." Brock handed back Vulpix's Pokéball to Suzie.

Suzie took the Pokéball, "Thank you Brock and everyone." She smiled.

☾ >> ——— [Break Scene] ——— <<☽

After the Beauty Contest the victor is Suzie Yuki and her Vulpix, with Brock's help. The gang bid farewell to Suzie, Zane, Vulpix and Ninetales, they continued on their way to the next journey.
