Liam was up against Nando now. Nando sent out Altaria and Lopunny. Liam sent out Hydro and Dragonite.
"Altaria, Twister! Lopunny, Shadow Ball!" Nando ordered with a strum of his harp. The Shadow Balls were carried by the strong winds as it barreled toward Hydro and Dragonite.
"Hydro Pump and Twister!" The typhoon hit with the Shadow Ball one and they negated one another.
"Use Dragonbreath on Dragonnite. Altria! Lopunny, High Jump Kick on Blastoise."
"Rapid Spin Hydro! Dragonite, Iron Tail!" Liam called. Hydro began spinning in place, causing Lopunny to fumble the move and fall to the floor, dropping Nando's points. Dragonite than slammed the spinning shell with Iron Tail, sending him zooming across the floor. "Now, Ice Beam!" The cold energy blasted through holes on the shell, freezing Altaria's legs, and making it crash to the ground, dropping Nando's points a bit more.
Nando strummed his harp. "Altaria, Sing! and Lopunny, Round." The music notes began to flood the auditorium. "Dragonite! Blizzard!" The harsh winds froze all of the notes in their tracks. "Now, Hydro! Aura Sphere!" The move hit the notes, and shattered them into small notes, all emitting their pitch as they hit the ground, and dropping Nando's points more.
Nando ordered Altaria to use Ice Beam on Dragonite. Hydro shoved Dragonite out of the way. Hydro was frozen solid, and Liam lost a chunk of points.
"Focus Blast and Ice Beam on Dragonite." The moves combined and fell toward Dragonite. Liam smirked. "Hydro! Mega Evolve and use Protect!" Liam called activating the Keystone. The light of Mega Evolution shed through the ice like a prism, and the ice shattered when the Mega Evolution finished. Hydro used the green shield to stop the combo move.
"Aura Sphere and Draco Meteor!" Liam called. The moves worked in unison well, resulting in a Double KO, allowing Liam to advance to the final four.

Drew defeated Harley using Roserade and Flygon, May used Venasuar and Blaziken to defeat Soledad's Slowbro and Lapras

Shiranui's next opponent was Wallace—a coordinator he had faced not that long before. Wallace sent out a Sealeo and a Seaking and Shiranui sent out Manectric and Kinoko. "Sealeo, Aurora Beam at Breloom; Seaking, Waterfall at Manectric!"
"Manectric, Charge; Kinoko, Spore at Sealeo!" Manectric charged its power while Kinoko unleashed a cloud of spores at Sealeo, causing the seal to fall asleep. Seaking charged at Manectric with the speed used to climb waterfalls and nailed her for some damage. Sealeo didn't wake up and Wallace lost more points than Shiranui.
"Sealeo, Frost Breath at Breloom; Seaking, Horn Drill at Manectric!"
"Manectric, give Seaking a Thunder attack; Kinoko, Mind Reader!" Manectric created a thunderhead above the battlefield and Seaking was struck by lightning, knocking it out in one hit. Kinoko started sensing Sealeo's movements, ensuring her next attack would not miss. Sealeo remained fast asleep and Wallace's points took a big hit.
"Sealeo, Blizzard!"
"Kinoko, give Sealeo a Dynamic Punch; Manectric, Electro Ball! Mega Ring activate!" Shiranui activated his Mega Ring and the light from Manectric's Mega Evolution added to her appeal. Manectric conjured an orb of electricity and fired it at Sealeo, electrocuting the seal. Kinoko charged in and delivered a devastating punch that knocked Sealeo out. All five judges had crosses on their screens and Shiranui advanced to the semi-final.

It was now to the final four. Drew and Liam came out and took their places.
"Pidgeot! Pikachu!" Liam called. The two appeared and took stances.
"Roserade! Absol! Go!, Drew called.
"Begin!" Vivian called.
"Roserade, Petal Blizzard! Absol, Razor Wind!" The sickle of air carried the petals, making the blade appear pink. "Gust! Pikachu, Agility!" Pikachu began speeding around the stage. Midget's winds carried Pikachu, giving the illusion of Pikachu flying. This allowed Pikachu to avoid the combo move, and Drew's points dropped a bit.
"Sunny Day Absol! Roserade, Solarbeam on Pikachu!" The grass move fired at the mouse and hit him.
"Pidgeot, Mega Evolve! and use Aerial Ace! Pikachu, Thunderbolt on Absol." Midget's form change meant No Guard triggered, eliminating the chance of dodging. Pikachu's Thunderbolt hit Absol, who instinctively tried to dodge, but the lighting veered to hit it, and Absol was paralyzed.
"Roserade, Aromatherapy!, Absol, Night Slash on Pikachu!" Both moves hit.
"Pikachu, get on Pidgeot and hold on tight, Corkscrew a Brave Bird Pidgeot! Pikachu, Thunder!" The combo worked due to No Guard, Pikachu let go of Pidgeot during the spiral, and spun in and grabbed Absolves horn and unleashed the Electric attack while Pidgeot crashed into Roserade. Roserade was KO'd, and Drew lost a good deal of points. The timer past the one minute mark.
"Pikachu, Volt Tackle! Pidgeot, Tailwind!" Liam called
"Me First Absol!" Drew called. Absolve charged toward Pikachu and Pidgeot and was engulfed in electricity.
"Amazing! Drew's Absol used Me First to copy Pikachu's Volt Tackle!" Vivian chimed in. Absol charged into Pikachu. Pikachu was hit, and Absol as paralyzed, dropping drew's points further as the clock struck :10. Pidgeot upped the speed of Pikachu and himself as Pikachu charged in to strike. The collision happened on the buzzer. Absol was knocked out and Pikachu fainted from recoil. Liam was named the winner.

After Liam and Drew had their battle, it was now time for May and Shiranui to face each other. "Gimansha, Kumo, I choose you!"
"Glaceon, Wartortle, take the stage!" Shiranui sent out his Mawile and Ariados and May sent her Glaceon and Wartortle out.
"Begin!" Vivian called.
"Glaceon, Ice Fang at Ariados; Wartortle, Aqua Tail at Mawile!"
"Gimansha, Stockpile; Kumo, Electroweb at Wartortle!" Both of May's Pokémon charged in to attack. Glaceon gave Kumo a chilly bite and Wartortle whacked Gimansha with its wet tail. Gimansha charged her power, boosting both her Defense stats and Kumo spat an electrified silky net at Wartortle, ensnaring it and slowing it down. Both coordinators lost points with May losing a bit more than Shiranui.
"Glaceon, Helping Hand; Wartortle, Water Pulse at Ariados!"
"Kumo, give Glaceon a Scary Face; Gimansha, Iron Head at Glaceon! Mega Ring activate!" Shiranui activated his Mega Ring and Gimansha wowed the audience with her Mega Evolution. Glaceon lent Wartortle some of its power before getting whacked by both sets of Gimansha's jaws, barely surviving the hit. Kumo made a scary face and Glaceon froze up at the sight. Some of the arachnophobic members of the audience were scared as well. Wartortle blasted Kumo with a pulsing blast of water and the Ariados was confused as a result.
"Glaceon, Avalanche at Ariados; Wartortle, Hydro Pump at Mawile!"
"Gimansha, Play Rough with Glaceon; Kumo, X-Scissor at Wartortle!" The Mega Mawile roughhoused with Glaceon. leaving it knocked out. Kumo crossed her front legs and gave Wartortle a critical X-shaped swipe. The Ariados' Sniper ability gave her the power boost she needed to knock Wartortle out. The judges' screens showed crosses and Shiranui advanced to the grand final.

"It's time for the final match of the Grand Festival!" Vivian announced. "One of these two young men will walk away with a trophy and the tile of Top Coordinator!" The audience cheered at Vivian's statement. "Now, without further ado, Let me introduce you two the finalists. In one corner we have, Kalos Champ and Eckeurtek native, Shiranui Tsukiko!" Vivian called. The audience cheered and Vivian continued once they finished. "And From Blackthorn City, 'Dragon Master' Liam Coleman!" After Vivian made her statement, the audience cheered again. Liam readied two balls in his hands.
"Jiraiya! Sceptile! Time to shine!" Liam called. The duo of ninja-like Pokémon emerged.

[James Davy]

"Fushigi, Niwatori, I choose you!" Shiranui sent his Venusaur and Blaziken out.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Begin!" Vivian called out.
"Alright guys, use Double Team!" Liam called. Both Pokémon began to dash around the Venasuar or Blaziken and made the illusion of there being several of each of them.

[James Davy]

Shiranui was not fazed by the multiple Greninja and Sceptile. "Fushigi, Niwatori, use your Pledges! Mega Ring activate!" He activated his Mega Ring and Niwatori let off a glow as he Mega Evolved. Fushigi showed off his Grass Pledge and Niwatori added a Fire Pledge, setting the battlefield on fire.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Use Water Shuriken Jiriya, and Sceptile jump and use Bullet Seed!!" Liam called. The Sceptiles leapt into the air right before the fire started and Jiriya and his copies all started throwing the water all over the stage, extinguishing the fire. The seeds rained down on Blaziken, making for a ninja-like move.

[James Davy]

"Niwatori, Agility; Fushigi, give Jiraiya a Worry Seed!" Niwatori relaxed his body and started flitting to various places, dodging the seeds and boosting his Speed. Fushigi fired a seed at one of the Jiraiyas, intending to change the Greninja's ability and lock it to one type.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Night Slash!" Liam called. Jiriya conjured a katana-like blade and sliced the seed in half, rendering it inert. "Sceptile Leaf Storm and Mega Evolve!" Liam used the Mega Ring and Septle unleashed the storm of leaves. They were only intended as extra flash for the Mega Evolution, making it look like an anime transformation sequence.

[James Davy]

"Niwatori, give Jiraiya a Sky Uppercut; Fushigi, use Toxic on Sceptile!" Niwatori charged at Jiraiya at triple his normal speed while Fushigi launched a gob of toxic slime at Sceptile.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Both were hit. "Sceptile, Aerial Ace on Fushigi!, Jiriya, Water Shruiken on Niwatori!" Sceptile attacked Fushigi while the shruiken rained down on the Blaziken.

[James Davy]

"Both of you, Protect!" Niwatori adopted a defensive stance and Fushigi braced himself while they both conjured green shields.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam's points dropped and Sceptile took damage from the poison.
"Water Pledge and Grass Pledge!" Liam ordered. The attacks unified and made the arena into a swampland.

[James Davy]

Shiranui lost some points and both his Pokémon were slowed. "Niwatori, Curse; Fushigi, use Venoshock on Sceptile!" Niwatori dropped his Speed to boost his physical stats while Fushigi launched a gob of a mixture of toxins that would react with whatever Sceptile was poisoned with.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Sceptile was hit and Liam lost more points. Overgrow activated, which Liam knew meant this was his last move. "Frenzy Plant! Jiriya, Acrobatics both on Niwatori!" As the vines starting shooting up from the swamp land, Jiriya jumped from vine to vine, with the intent to give the Blaziken a swift kick before the vines ensured it.
