"Bonjour people of Kalos, devoted fans of Pokémon. The Shalour City Pokémon Showcase is about to start! I will be your guide through this splendid showcase. As always my name is Moisier Pierre." Announced Pierre to the audience.

Tapping his right foot on the stage, Pierre chuckled to himself.

"This showcases theme is none other than Pokémon Quizzes! You will only be allowed to use one Pokémon in this round. After a question is asked your choosen Pokémon must be the first to retrieve a hidden ball and cross the finish line first for their trainer to answer. The future Kalos Queen must be knowledgeable."

"It's time for our first round of performs to come on stage! Please welcome Performers; Yumi Gazan, Locket Cantu, and Cerise Fanne to the stage." Concluded Pierre as a platform raised three performer's up to the outdoored stage.

Out of the three girls on stage, Locket had the smallest Pokemon at her side; Espurr. The other trainers had bigger and faster looking Pokémon; Rapidash and Frogadier. But not to worry; as long as Locket believed in Espurr, she could do anything!

"Keldeo is known as the colt pokémon and comes from the Unova Region. But, what is the mythical pokémon, Keldeo's, typing? Your choosen Pokémon may begin to attempt to retrieve the hidden ball now!"

During the question asking all choosen Pokémon had made their way to a start line. They all raced off to find the hidden ball as soon as Pierre gave the okay.

Espurr lagged behind in the running portion, but did exceedingly well with her strength. She found a green ball trapped behind several boulders and used her pysbeam to free it. Quickly Espurr raced back just in time to give Locket eligibility to answer the question.

"The answer is; water and fighting type!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Now it's time for the last of our free style performances! Please give a warm welcome to the lovely Locket!"

The stage went black at Pierre's voice. He vanished from and was replaced with Locket. Alongside Locket was Chespin and Espurr. All three of friends smiled from ear to ear as a single spotlight fell onto them.

The song Energy Sway - Glaze (https://youtu.be/XYt-Ie4ss1k) began to fade in as the performer raised her right arm up.

"Chespin use Double Team! Espurr use Pysbeam!"

Chespin and Espurr exchanged a nod as they did two front flips to the front of the stage. The grass type flipped himself to stand on his left paw, he began to spin as several copies of himself appear in the same style he was in. The psychic type skipped around the spinning copies of her partner before using her Psybeam to hit the copies.

The Chespin copies turned to purple and green sparkles when they got hit. They made the trio on stage shine in their light.

From behind the sparkles was Locket. She picked up her feline Pokémon and hugged her close. The two smiled as they spun together in place.

Chespin used his Pin Missel when given a wink as a signal. The Pin Missle spiralled around Locket and Espurr at a normal pace.

The two broke apart, Espurr jumping out the top of the spiral to land next to Chespin, and Locket remaining in the spiral of Pin Missel.

The gray eyed girl hoovered her hands over the spirals to gently push them down to look like a glowing green hula-hoop.

With the Pin Missel turning into a hula-hoop, Chespin and Espurr joined their trainer by conjuring up a hula-hoop of their own by using Chespin's Pin Missel.

The three swayed their hips to their glowing green hula-hoops. They took two steps towards the front of the stage, spun forward, and reaching one arm out. The trio placed their free hand/paw on their hula-hoop to explode it into sparkles.

"Thank you!"

The crowd went loud with clapping and cheers for the trio as they bowed and headed off the stage.

A smile was on each of the friend's faces as they waited to be called back on stage for the judging.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two spotlights traveled from the five girls on stage. Those two spotlights would form to a single one when a winner was announced but were seperate at the moment.

Pierre, who was in front of the five girls, tipped his hat forward. He already knew the winner.

"The lady that will recive the Shalour City Showcase is... Locket! Congratulations!"

The two spotlights formed into one as they landed on Locket, Chespin, and Espurr.

Tears threatened to fall from the trio's eyes as Pierre walked over with his Klefkie. The other performers had exited the stage discretely which only left the performer, her pkémon and the host with his partner.

"Congratulations on your first princess key win."

Klefkie handed Locket a silver Shalour City princess key, which earned a few tears of joy trail down the girl's face.

"Thank you so much! We're all so grateful for this!" Locket said as she hugged her Pokémon that jumped into her arms.

Pierre nodded happily and turned back towards the audience.

"Congratulations to Locket on winning her first princess key and gaining her first step into becoming Kalos Queen! Be sure to check Pokévision later today to see an extra special video!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Congratulations Locket! You were amazing!" Armor complemented once he was reunited with his friend. He was so happy for his friend that he didn't even notice that he was hugging her until he heard a giggle from Aria.

"Uhhh... sorry." Armor blushed as he let go of Locket.

Locket smiled big as she looked to Chespin and Espurr, who were holding each others paws as they talked to each other. Locket tilted her head to the side, unsure of why her Pokémon were doing that.

When the run away princess was little she only held hands with her mother and father when she was bad, which happened often... But Chespin and Espurr weren't being bad?

Aria noticed Locket's strange staring at the Pokémon and giggled.

"What's wrong Locket? Never seen to Pokémon holding paws before?"

The gray eyed girl nodded in embarrassment.

"Yeah, when I was little, holding hands like that was only required if you did something bad."

Both Armor and Aria sweetdropped at what their friends comment. If only she were more aware of what love was.

"What? You can't be serious, holding hands isn't only if you're bad! It's also used to show the connection between two people, or more if you're into that or in a group."

The gray eyed girl nodded slowly. She then grabbed both of her friends hands, in hers, and dragged them forwards.

"Alright! Let's go celebrate!"
