Reader POV
Ah! It was finally time for me to win my next Key! The final step in preparation for my goal. As the group walked towards the Fleurrh City Theatre, the streets were crowded with people, they all shouted.
“Go for it Cordelia and Cyrus! You’ll become Kalos King and Queen together!” They shouted as the two of them walked towards us, they made our group split as they walked through. I got an uneasy vibe from the boy.
“He’s a threat.” I whispered to Clemont.
“Don’t worry Y/n, you’re going to win this!” The blonde boy held my hand.
“Even with what Serena and I planned, I’m still going to be on my guard.” I said as we continued towards the theatre.
Within the walls of the changing room, I had had run into that Cyrus boy again.Â
“Watch it!” He shouted, pushing past me, making me lose my balance and fall to the floor. “Wait! Your that delusional child who thinks they can play dress up and win the crown!”
People began to stare and cowered at the sight of the blue haired boy.
“You’re that one with the shitty altaria and that poor Florges and ugly Pampour! How unflattering, just like your face.” He laughed at me, beside him stood an Sableye and a Froslass, which struck fear into my heart.
“Well, its lucky that I’m not using those pokemon in my winning performance tonight. Too bad you wont be around to watch it. Your attitude stinks worse than a garbodour.” I stood and dusted myself off, walking towards my station, beginning to get dressed for the Themed Challenge, the talent show!
“Y/n! Your up next!” The producer said, I had my pokeball in hand and advanced towards the stage platform lift.
“And now! For his talent! We introduce, the mystical Y/n!” Aria said the cue, I was lifted on the platform and raised to the main stage.Â
I wore a long black cloak, the custom one Olympia had gifted me in Anistar City. Underneath I wore a white shirt and black trousers with stars on them. In addition, I had huge golden bangles on my arms and legs.
“Good afternoon audience! Today, I will be showcasing my talent of magic!” I announced to the judges and Audience. “For this, I need our Kalos King to hold on to something really special.”
I walked over to him and handed him my pokeball.
“This will be used later.” I announced.
At the beginning of the talent show, I had created some simple projections, things that I did at Olympia’s classes. I soon began in projecting aspects of the showcase, like who will be using what pokemon. I also had some audience participation, and then it was my big finale.
“And now, to finish of the show, I will attempt to float above the stage and audience!” I said, closing my eyes and focussing my psychic energy. I had a vision of Olympia telling me to concentrate; soon enough, it had worked. My body had a faint blue glow to it and I was levitating, people’s jaws had dropped to the floor at this talent, it was incredible. I flew across the audience and high-fived members them. I soon returned to the stage and had started.
“Now, you may be sceptical and say that I have a psychic pokemon on my team, and yes, you are correct.” I smiled. “However, as we know, a pokemon can’t use their moves from within a pokeball. So now Monsieur Pierre, please throw that pokeball onto the stage!”
“Alright.” He giggled, as the pokeball released the pokemon, the audience were left in disbelief, including the judges. “How is that possible! Its meowstic!”
“A magician never reveals their secrets!” I chuckled before a cloud of smoke hazed the stage and meowstic and I had left the stage.
After this, I went back to the dressing room to get ready for my Masquerade Marvels runway look. When in the dressing room, I had noticed that my performance costume had been tattered up. I was furious! I turned to the side and saw that boy, maliciously staring at me, giggling and holding a pair of scissors.
“Oops! I guess I just tripped.” He smirked. “Good luck performing in that, not even a sewing machine can help you now.”Â
“Never say never, prick.” I chuckled, getting into my runway look. I had time to fix up my performance look, it was different to what I would usually wear; risks are good however.
“Gentlemen! Lets get ready for mainstage!” The producer said.
“Thank you Five!” The vibe in the dressing room was immaculate, apart from Cyrus, who cankered the vibe with negativity.
“Serving Masquerade Marvels, is Y/n!” Aria announced, as I began my walk, with a new pokemon by my side. In fact, it was a pokemon who I was quite close to and familiar with, it was Serena’s Braixen! Yes! Serena and I had swapped pokemon for this showcase, she was using Florges and Altaria while I used Braixen and Pancham.Â
I was walking the runway in a full heirloom caged skirt, waist size a deathly thin 5 inches. My corset and skirt were made by the talents of Clemont, I turned them into a dress and he made the wire parts. The colour pallet were bronzes and deep earthy red tones, with hints of gold and sexy red. However the spectacle of my dress was the outstanding, hair, makeup and accessories, made by Clemont and I. My hair was slicked back, my makeup was half sad blues and half happy yellows. In addition, I had two masks, representing sadness and happiness, like the theatrical happy/sad faces.
As I was walking, I took of the first mask to reveal the sadness mask behind it. After that, I slowly revealed the makeup by taking off the second mask, the crowd went crazy! I had gotten a standing ovation by Pierre, this feeling was like my first win all over again! It was amazing!
After this, I had joined the rest of the showcasers, including Cyrus. Waiting for our critiques. When it got to me, I anxiously stood there.
“What an incredible look!” One of the Judges remarked.
“Who made it may I ask?” The cruel judge asked, sarcastically.
“This was actually a collaborative effort, from my boyfriend Clemont and I.” I chuckled.
“Of course it was.” The abhorrent judge shook his head.
“And now, the winner of this Showcases main challenge is.” Pierre started. “Y/n!”Â
“Thank you guys! This is amazing!” I replied, almost being brought to tears.
After winning that challenge, I had rushed back to the dressing room to get ready for my performance. It was going to be sultry, sexy and a little bit scandalous!Â
When I was called to the mainstage, a wave of confidence grew in me. Although I was out of my comfort zone, I knew that Serena had trained Braixen well and I knew Meowstic was going to rock the performance too, she had gotten her fourth key with my pokemon, so I needed to return the favour.
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Please welcome to the stage, Y/n!” Aria shouted, the stage went quite after a barrage of clapping. As I was now on the stage, it was dimmed. That was until the music kicked in, El Tango De Roxanne.
I wore a half and half look, A traditional glittery black suit, on the left side and a glittery red dress on the other half.Â
As the tango began, the stage lit up in Braixen’s flames. Lip syncing the words, I moved with pure intention, my body becoming water as the chorus kicked in, I twirled and pranced across the stage floor. Braixen and Meowstic creating beautiful illuminations above me. Â
In addition to this, Meowstic created images of faceless people, which I ran to in desperation but before I could get to they would dissipate, showing desperation. This was before I ran to the middle of the stage and a swirl of fire mixed with psychic energy enveloped me, It also burned the dress and trouser leg into a swimsuit bottom, which I had to tuck for. Within second the Pillar exploded, revealing my new outfit. I continued to lip sync the words, moving closer to the edge of the runway. At the end of the song (Where it says “You mean nothing to me!”) I fell to the ground and Meowstic projected a huge image of a faceless person who says those words. Braixen created a large flame which outreached through the projection, enveloping the flame in psychic energy. Meowstic bundled it into a ball and sent it towards the sky, it used Shadow ball and exploded it, creating a spiral of flame to burst into glittery particles.
The crowd was silent. Suddenly, there was a sonic boom of noise, applaud and cheering, many people stood up and cheered for me. Tears began to flow down my face, knowing what a risk this was, and how it payed off.
After regaining mental control of myself, the remaining contestants stood in a line, receiving their votes. I was sweating with anxiety. However I knew that I was going to win. And I was right,
“Congratulations Y/n! You have won the next Prince’s key!” Pierre shouted.
I was overjoyed! I received my key from Pierre and had thanked the audience; gotten changed and left the theatre to Clemont, who was waiting for me with open arms. I ran into them and hugged him tightly.
“Congratulations Y/n!” Everyone cheered for me. “And Serena too!”
“To celebrate! Lets go get dinner at the Pokemon centre!” I shouted. Everyone cheered for me and we ran into the sunset, towards the pokemon centre.
