Return of the defeated (on hold)

/Part 9/

"Blaziken dodge with Aerial Ace then use Acrobatics." she called out. Blaziken shot up in the air coated in white energy then slammed into Cacturne kicking and punching the green pokemon. Harley gritted his teeth seeing his points drop due to the colorful dodge and the speed of the attacks. May's points had taken a small dip due to the powered up Focus Blast but she believed in Blaziken to win.

"Cacturne use Grass Whistleand then hit them with Mud Slap." Cacturne closed its eyes whistling a gentle tune causing Blaziken to slowly close her eyes, then began to hurl globs of mud at her.

May yelled out loudly hoping to wake Blaziken up, "Blaziken you need to use Flame Charge to counter." She breathed a breath of relief when Blaziken's eyes snapped open as she became engulfed in flames and blasted through the flying mud and hit Cacturne hard sending it rolling across the ground. "Blaziken finish it use Fire Break." Blaziken quickly flew at Cacturne with her fists glowing from Brick Breakbefore they ignited with Fire Punch. The dual effective attack struck Cacturne causing Harley's point meter to drop to zero and knock out Cacturne in the same moment.

"Well there you have it folks Cacturne is unable to battle and Harley's points have been exhausted. That means May is our first Coordinator to advance to the final round. Please give these two a round of applause." The audience cheered for them both, May could hear Ash Pikachu and Glaceon cheering louder than the rest for her. "Now for the second battle Solidad vs Steven."

May went back to the waiting room to watch the next battle to see who her opponent would be. She handed Blaziken to Chansey so she would be ready for the final battle, while she waited she couldn't help but think of when Ash kissed her cheek and what it could mean. She watched Solidad's Pidgeot take the last points from Steven and his Herdier.

"With that last attack Steven has lost all his points meaning Solidad moves on to the final battle against May. We'll give our finalists ten minutes to prepare for the night round."

May smiled as she seen Solidad enter the waiting room, she was determined to not loose against her again. The two looked at each other no words were said, but an understanding was pasted between the two knowing that they were going to give it their all. A stage attendant called them from the door telling them to make their way to the tunnel leading to their sides of the battlefield.

"Good luck May, I look forward to this battle its been a long time since we faced each other." the red haired coordinator said.

"Best of luck to you as well, Solidad. I've waited for this battle for a long time." May said with a confident smile.

Brock asked Ash, "Do you think May will be ok against Solidad? I don't think she's beaten her yet."

"She'll win for sure. I have no doubt about it, she has found her confidence again." Ash said. Brock grinned at Ash's response seeing how much Ash cares about May and how much faith he has in her. The lights in hall faded out leaving a spotlight shining on Lilian.

"Ok everyone, it's time for the final battle." She waved her arm to the right as another light turned on shining down on May, "First we have the Princess of Hoenn May Maple." the crowd erupted into applause as May waved to the crowd. Lilian then waved her arm to the other side of the field. "Second we have Pewter City's very own Grand Festival winner Solidad." The crowd went wild again as their hometown coordinator waved at everyone. "Now that the stage is set, lets have five minutes on the clock and Coordinators send out your pokemon."
