The bushy yellow and green Ludicolo stands at the opposite side of the battle field from the bright red Scizor, there eyes locked. The poncho clad trainer punches into the air with a fist clenched tight signaling to his Pokémon. Ludicolo immediately raises both its hands and starts to rain dance. The red haired beautiful trainer quickly waves her hand through the air and shouts "NOW" The Scizor rushes towards Ludicolo with both claws crossed. Like a samurai in battle the Scizor uses the move X-scissor right as it passes by its opponent. The Ludicolo flies to the ground with a thud rolling to a painful stop.
A loud crack of thunder followed by a bright flash of lightning, rain drops that slowly start to fall turn into large drops that start to pour down over the whole festival. "Don't give in, X-scissor again!" The red haired trainer shouts as the rain runs down her face. Her Scizor dashes towards the downed Ludicolo and swipes another mighty X-scissor attack. Before Scizor can react he is his by a mighty wave of water that plows him to the ground.
Scizor leaps back up skidding on the now wet arena floor to find Ludicolo had moved out of the way before its strike even landed. The water type Pokémon's ability Swift Swim, witch doubles the Pokémon's speed had now activated thanks to the rain dance it had preformed the turn before. Now blindingly fast Ludicolo hops back and fourth mocking the Scizor. With one quick final command the Scizor rushes Ludicolo executing a perfect Bullet punch attack. An attack so fast it will always strike first. Ludicolo falls to the ground before turning into red energy and being sucked back into its owners Pokéball.
"Good work Bud you did well, have a nice rest." The poncho clad trainer says as he holds Ludicolos Pokeball in his hand smiling. The two trainers shake hands. "Great battle Señor
Vasquez, If I would not have had priority with the Technician boosted bullet punch you would certainly have won with your swift swim Ludicolo. Its quite a monster once you set up rain." The red haired female trainer says.
"Oh.. Thank you lady Xillia. Its always much fun battling with a fellow gym leader. Keeps the spirits high!" The tubby mans mustache bounces as he chuckles.
The referees voice booms through out the festival as the rain starts to slack off and the sun peaks back out bringing the day back to its former sunny self. "The winner is Lady Xillia leader of the Zastin City gym! Congratulations Ms. Xillia!" The announcer holds her hand up into the air as confetti sprays out from every direction. The crowd erupts into a strong cheer.
The announcer continues, "Next we have the results of the Mega Mazitec raffle that has been going on all year! We all know what the winners will get. As we speak professor Hemp is in back preparing the starter Pokémon. The winners of the raffle will be announced shortly. Right now please enjoy the music of Koffing and the Toxics. The stage darkens, the crowd gets silent. A huge Koffing is projected onto the back screen. Roxie the lead band member who just so happens to be a gym leader in Unova rocks her big guitar. "I'm Roxie. We are Koffing and the Toxics! I hope you guys are ready to be disgusted!" She shouts as the first song starts. "P - O K E - M O N POKEMON!"
Professor Hemp snores loudly as he reclines back in his chair. The professors tubby Zigzagoon cuddles in his lap all cozy and content. Momo the professors Emolga yawns with a long satisfying stretch, she had fallen asleep on top of the bookshelf. She rubs her hungry belly before leaping off of the book shelf and plopping down right on Hemps head. This scares Zigzagoon who leaps off of the professors lap. The professor is so startled that he flies backwards in his chair landing on the hard ground. Emolga lands safely to the side shrugging and whispering "whoops" in Pokémon language.
After the throbbing in his head subsides the professor gathers his equipment and supplies heading for the main stage. His bag filled with all the starter Pokéballs sway back and forth as he jogs to his destination. He zigzags through the hallways dodging other festival workers and news people as he goes.
The punk rock band Koffing and the Toxics finish up there set promoting there up coming album entitled "Toxic Smog"
The back stage guy starts to wave the professor onto the stage as the assistant scientists set up everything. A long table with Pokéball holders made from crystal is arranged with all the starter Pokémon set up in order. The professor walks calmly onto the stage and is handed a stack of index cards as he goes. He stops in the center and starts to address the crowd.
"The first Mazitec raffle has been going for one full year, all of the waiting has led up to this moment. I have here before me all the starter Pokémon displayed on this beautifully decorated table. Those of you who have sent off for the raffle know who you are. Are you ready!"
The professor picks up the first index card and starts the announcement. The back board is lit up with the names of the winners as they get called out. One by one they start to come up onto the stage accepting there starter Pokémon.
