I enter the building desolately. "Rai? Rai?" Just in my regular outfit: White tank top, pink scarf, denim shorts and pink hightops. I pick my Raichu up off the ground. "I'll be fine, Raichu. I mean, how hard can it be?" We enter the dressing room with a few girls inside. They stare at me like I'm some kind of ghost. The girls scoff at me and judge me. "Is that your Raichu?" A girl with dark brown hair asks me. "Yes. He is. Why?" She scoffs and looks away. "You think you're going to win with that thing?" Oh my Arceus. They're acting like Marisol. Dear Arecus, please let me live through this. All of the girls flee the room. "Rai." Raichu's ears droop to his face. That means he's either: Tired, annoyed or disgusted. I think it's all of the above. "Here Raichu." I set my Electric Mouse Pokemon down on a comfy purple stool. "I'll be right back." I walk towards a changing area so Raichu doesn't see me.
After three minutes, I come out wearing a short white dress with sparkles on it. This is what I usually wore back in Sinnoh. "I can't believe I'm wearing this lovely dress again." I exclaim. "Rai?" "Well," I grab my pokeballs out of my bag and put them in a pocket on my dress. "Let's go give them a show." While carrying Raichu, I walk to the waiting room full of coordinators I don't know. "Hey look it's the new girl with the Raichu." One of them gossips about me. Who are they to talk? They don't know me! "Today, the battles and appeals will only require one Pokemon! Up first is..." I sit down by myself with Raichu in my arms.
"Next is Aurora Ramirez." I turn around to see a male intern pop his head through the door. "Huh?" "You're up." I take a deep breath. "Sorry Raichu. Return." I send Raichu back into his pokeball. Another intern, but female, takes me behind a giant curtain. "Okay you're up in: Five, four, three, two..." "And up next is a newbie! Here from Hearthome City, behind these curtains, is Aurora!" The curtains pull side-to-side to reveal...me. With my hair in pigtails, I take one pokeball out. This Pokemon will be my ticket to round two. "Snivy! Front and center!" I throw the pokeball in the air to reveal my Grass Snake Pokemon. "Sni! Vy! Vy!" Snivy's body is surrounded with seeds that quickly bloom into green and yellow flowers. "Snivy!" She lands on the ground. "Sni!" I smile with confidence. "Snivy use Leaf Tornado!" Snivy nods. She turns upside-down with her tail in the air. Her tail spins in a circle creating a green tornado of leaves. "Now use Vine Whip to grab it!" Snivy obeys and vines grab the tornado in place. "Hyper Voice!" I yell. Snivy closes her eyes and opens her mouth into the eye of the tornado. "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!" she screams at the top of her lungs into the twister. Snivy yells so loud that the Leaf Tornado falls apart and leaves green sparkles in it's place. All three judges gape at my appeal. "Snivy!" Snivy spins into the air and lands with a back-flip. Sullivan shoves the microphone near Nurse Joy's mouth. "What did you think of Aurora's appeal?" "It was truly an original appeal. I've never seen anything like it!" The pink female nurse compliments me. The microphone passes onto a bald man with his eyes closed the whole time. How does he see? "Remarkable performance!" The microphone is passed down to a man with a red tuxedo and brown hair. "The appeal was very outstanding! Nothing I've seen before!" Thank you so much!!!
