As we left off, our heroes had finally made it to Lumiose City after their long trek through Route 13. After a bit of soul-searching from Ava last episode, our heroes sit anxiously among the crowd waiting for the Lumiose City Pokemon Showcase to begin. They earned free tickets to the show after winning first place in a Teamwork Tournament a couple weeks back. Enjoy :)

Ava took a bite out of her strawberry-flavored ice cream she purchased in the food court. Fennekin sat curled up in her lap dozing in and out of sleep. They boys, sitting on either side of her, had their eyes pinned on to the stage waiting for the show to begin.

"For free tickets these seats aren't half-bad..." Ava thought to herself.

The began to dim and introductory music began to play over the intercoms. A lift on Center Stage began to rise revealing the silhouette of a person holding a microphone. Stage lights quickly panned over to the person and a voice played over the intercom:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Official Lumiose City Pokemon Showcase! My name's Olivia and I will be your announcer this evening!" Said the voice, obviously belonging to Olivia.

The crowd erupted with cheer. It was obvious she was a fan-favorite.

"We have a very special show planned for you all tonight," Olivia continued after the cheering died down. "The contestants today consist of the wonderful Violet May, the magnificent Maggie Blemons, and finally, your Kalos Queen, Macy Powell!"

Even at the mention of Macy's name the crowd erupted once again with a decibel bigger than the first cheer. Elijah and Alex were going crazy, they wanted to see her perform as bad as the rest. Ava gave her own little cheer, not a ecstatic as the rest however.

The contestants walked on to the stage in the order they were just announced. Each one seemed to gain a louder round of applause with Macy undoubtedly the most.

The contestants' first task, as addressed by Olivia via intercom, was to bake a cake with the theme of Electricity and have it edible and likable to both Pokemon and Humans.

"Fitting theme seeing as we're in the home of the Electric Gym." thought Ava.

The contestants began instantaneously gathering the ingredients and utensils they needed. Part of the challenge was that your Pokemon Partner has to help in the process, so there was a lot happening on stage at the same time.

Macy had chosen Glaceon as her partner during the challenge. Glaceon scurried around the floor collecting the needed ingredients while Macy put them into the mixer.

The other contestants had similar strategies but didn't seem to be pulling them off as effectively. Maggie had chosen Staravia thinking its ability to fly would help out. As it turns out, every time Staravia picked up and ingredient in its claws and flew back to its trainer's cooking station, it would end up dropping some of the ingredients along the way.

Violet wasn't having as much trouble though with very little mistakes. The most noticeable, however, was her Ambipom's inability to recognize salt from sugar. Thankfully, Violet was able to catch the mistake before it was too late.

An hour and a half had past and baking time was up. The contestants sat at their stations with their cakes fully baked and decorated. It was judging time.

Violet had gone for a thundercloud approach. She created a vanilla cake in the shape of a cloud that was died a dark grey with lemon-flavored fondant sticking out of one side shaped like a thunder bolt. While it was a good idea, it lacked detail and thus received a 6/10 as an overall score.

Maggie had created a Cinnamon-Flavored cake in the shape of the Kalos Powerplant; points for design. However, it lacked on the creative aspect seeing as it was just a replica of a well-known building: 7/10.

Macy's cake was judged last. She had created a Lemon-Flavored cake split into two parts. One part was shaped like the body of Zeus, the god of Thunder and Lightning. Zeus was holding a Lighting bolt aimed at a model of a Ancient City which was also made out of cake. The were even little fondant citizens in it. The judges and crowd absolutely adored it: 9.5/10.

The judging had decided the first contestant to leave the show. With a small tear leaving her eye, Violet walked off the stage waving back to the crowd that was cheering for her.

Time for Round 2
