Return of the defeated (on hold)

/Part 9/

The Coordinators went back to the preparation room and waiting to be called to the stage. May glanced around the room not seeing to many familiar faces other than Solidad and Harley. She made her way over next to the red haired woman and made small talk as they watched the monitors. After six Coordinators had preformed their appeals May heard her name from the door letting her know to be ready.

"Next up we have the famous Princess of Hoenn May Maple." the crowd cheered as she walked on stage but she could hear Ash Pikachu and Glaceon cheering louder then everyone else. She suppressed a slight blush as she found Ash in the stands and he was on his feet cheering loudly for her. Once she reached the center of the stage She pulled out her poke ball and called out her pokemon.

"Froslass take the stage!" She called out as she tossed the red and white sphere into the air. As the white light died down the snow land pokemon spun in a circle allowing her body to sway as if there was a breeze.

"Froslass start off with Blizzard the use Double Team." the ice ghost pokemon summoned a swirling snow storm then used Double Team to make look like there were several Froslass playing in storm.

"Now use Shadow Ball and toss it through the snow." May called out. Froslass launched the purple sphere through the storm where it absorbed the snow energy causing it to turn whiter with each pass as the copies bounced it around in the snow.

"Finish with Fling then hit it with Signal Beam." Froslass stopped using Double Teamand threw the frozen sphere high above her then fired a brilliantly multi colored beam at it. When the attacks met they exploded into a small flurry of black and rainbow colored snow flakes. Froslass floated next to May while the audience cheered loudly for the pair as they bowed to the judges and the crowed.

"Another brilliant display from May Maple, now lets here from our judges." Lilian said with a smile.

"It was a beautiful sight to see a snow storm of so many colors a definite unique appeal." Mr. Contesta commented.

"Simply remarkable." Mr. Sukizo stated.

"Your Froslass is in peak shape and she moves so elegantly." Nurse Joy said with a smile.

May thanked the judges for their praise then made her way back to the waiting room with the contestants. She felt she had a good chance to make it through but she watched Solidad preform an beautiful appeal with her Butterfree and Harley put on an slightly creepy performance with his Banette. As the last Coordinator left the stage Lilian announced that there would be a short break while the judges made their decisions. Ash told Brock he'd be back before they announced the next round. He made his way through the crowd to the waiting room to see May.

"May that appeal was so amazing, you and Froslass nailed it." He said as he pulled her into a hug.

"Thank you Ash. We wouldn't have been able to without your help." May replied with a slight blush noticing how close he was holding her. They quickly took a step back from each other Ash rubbing his head nervously while May rubbed her arm in a similar manner.

"So you really liked it Ash?" May asked trying to ease the tension between them.

"Of course I did May, I've loved every appeal you have ever put on and I think you're the most talented Coordinator that I know." Ash said with a smile on his face.
