Despite the attacks that were sent their way, the Plusle and Minun duo just kept up their cheering and wiggling. At one point their tails touched again, and both pokemon momentarily glowed a brilliant white. When it faded, the sparks that arched between the two happy pokemon were even brighter. It seemed that their abilities had been activated!
Plus - Powers up pokemon when teamed with a Minus ability. All attacks +1 Minus - Powers up pokemon when teamed with a Plus ability. All attacks +1
Good for Azel, bad for Jessa, it seemed. Oh, dear.
"Takeru! Kari! Use spark!"
The two pokemon shook their pompoms and then brought them together. The glow that was on their hands before grew to engulf them, until the plusle was a shiny, glittery yellow and the minun the same in blue. Once that was done, they two charged at the litwick and bulbasaur, glowing tails of light following them as the moved.
[RESULT: 5] Ability +1
Takeru's attack landed firmly on the bulbasaur, exploding in a shower of sparkles.
[RESULT: 5] Ability +1
Kari's did the same on the litwick, her attack exploding into blue sparkles. The pair cheered and bounded back to their position, rubbing their tails together happily in a shower of sparks. Plusle : 29/29 Minun : 29/29 Litwick : 18/24 Bulbasaur : 18/23

Jessa flinched when the attacks hit. Basil seemed to just shrug it off, but Corona looked rather..um..shocked, to say the least. The red haired girl had to think.
She looked to the timer once and then back to her Pokemon. She still had a chance to pull it off. "Bulbasaur, try Power Whip again! Corona, try Ember!"
Basil was first up again. He extended his whips, focusing intently on his enemy,the Plusle, more worried about winning the battle than being stylish. This may have hurt their overall score..It hit! But it was only a light tap..
[RESULT: 3]
Corona's flame began to glow brightly as she prepared her attack. A soft plume of flame ushered from the small pyre atop her head. She focused on the Minun..The flame hit, but didn't do much damage. It didn't even leave a nasty burn to remember it by.
[RESULT: 3]
Plusle : 26/29 Minun : 26/29 Litwick : 18/24 Bulbasaur : 18/23

The Plusle and Minun pair quickly shook off the attacks that were dealt them, loosing none of their pep in this battle of style and grace. For a moment, Kari looked as if she might loose her composure, small tears forming in the corners of her eyes, but Takeru touched his tail with hers, and the sparks that ensued brought back the minun to her usual energetic self.
"Alright guys, way to take a hit! Takeru, use helping hand on Kari! Kari, use Encore on that litwick!"
The pokemon hopped to attention. Plusle's hands glowed brilliantly white as he clapped his hands together several times, forming a ball of energy that floated over to Minun and sunk into her, leaving her glowing brilliant for a moment before the effect faded away, though the power did not.
[RESULT: 2] Minun attacks +1
Okay, so maybe he wasn't as good at cheering as the Minun was. Oh, well. Every little bit helped!
Kari, in turn, was also clapping her hands, a green ball growing and growing and growing in front of her, until she tossed it in the direction of the litwick.
[RESULT: 9] Encore effect: Litwick unable to use anything but Ember for two rounds.
It seemed Kari was indeed much more capable of clapping and cheering! Her attack hit the litwick dead on, landing swift and hard. Though it didn't hurt the pokemon, she'd be feeling it's effects later. Plusle : 29/29 Minun : 29/29 Litwick : 18/24 Bulbasaur : 18/23

Jessa was starting to get a little frustrated. These two electric mice were just having their way with her Pokemon! Corona grumbled and tried to roll with it. Stress was not good at all for her Pokemon. "Basil Try a Tackle on Minun! Corona..I guess use Ember on Plusle!"
Basil nodded and rushed at the Minun! He was barreling towards the electric mouse at full speed! He moved pretty well for a grass type..BAM! A good solid hit! Finally!
[RESULT: 7]
Seeing her partner make such a good strike, Corona felt confident in her own strength. She charged up another ember, the soft flame emitting from atop her head..BOOM! A good hit as well! Corona felt much better now!
[RESULT: 7]
Plusle : 19/29 Minun : 19/29 Litwick : 18/24 Bulbasaur : 18/23

The two little yellow bundles of energy seemed to be shocked at this sudden turn in power from their opponents. For a moment they just stood there, looking at each other before shrugging. Kari seemed inclined to shrug off the sudden blows, but Takeru had sparks skittering across his body in outrage. He was so not a happy camper!
Neither was Azel, either. Things were getting too close for his comfort. "Both of you, use thundershock!"
The pokemon nodded, electricity dancing between them and across their skin. It quickly grew and strengthened until they were both hidden in a yellow cloud of sparks. They released the attacks at the same time, melding and bouncing off each other as they flew.
[RESULT: 5] Ability +1 AoE -1
Bulbasaur : 4 Dmg 14/23 Litwick : 5 Dmg 13/24
[RESULT: 9] Ability +1 Helping Hand +1 AoE -1
Bulbasaur : 9 Dmg 5/23 Litwick : 10 Dmg 3/24
Plusle : 19/29 Minun : 19/29 Litwick : 3/24 Bulbasaur : 5/23

Jessa could just feel the fighting spirit drained away in her Pokemon after that devastating attack. They had worked so hard to get here! It hardly seemed fair that they were exhausted from their work in the contest already..
The red haired girl looked Azel in the eye. She smiled and shrugged. "You have some amazing battle talent, as well as appeal talent. You are a formidable opponent, Azel." She looked to her tired out Bulbasaur and Litwick, giving them the same warm smile. "Just one more round guys. Just one more! Basil, use Power Whip on Minun! Corona, Ember on Plusle!"
Basil slowly got up from the ground, feeling the hurt. His trainer needed him to pull through! He couldn't go down without giving it his all! He extended his whips, sending them flying towards Minun..They easily veered off target, flopping uselessly to the side. He was just so tired...
[RESULT: Miss]
Corona struggled even harder to get up. Her flame was flickering rather badly, her strength waning. She, too, could not give up either! She sent a plume of flame at her foe, hoping for better luck than Basil..But alas, it was not to be. The flame flickered out before reaching her opponent. It seemed to be over for Jessa.
[RESULT: Miss]
Plusle : 19/29 Minun : 19/29 Litwick : 3/24 Bulbasaur : 5/23

The boy couldn't help but wince at what happened after his pokemon followed his command. The twin attacks had devastated their targets, and as they tried to retaliate, they failed miserably. Glancing to the timer, which was almost run down, Azel wondered briefly if it would be better to just let the buzzer end the battle. But he knew, as he watched the bulbasaur and litwick struggle to do well for their trainer, that it just wouldn't be right to end things that way. They had fought hard, and they deserved a proper end to the battle.
So Azel shook the thoughts of stalling out of his head and set his mouth into a grim line. "Let's finish this quickly, you two. I hate to see pokemon suffer. Spark!"
The two pokemon nodded in unison and quickly powered up their attacks.
Takeru, without the boost of helping hand, sent his towards the litwick.
[RESULT: 4] Ability +1
That was a swift end to the litwick. Kari turned towards the bulbasaur and released her own attack.
[RESULT: 4] Ability +1 Helping Hand +1
And, thanks to her helping hand, the bulbasaur also was finished.
The thrill of victory ran through him, but he also felt horrid for the pokemon that had been so harmed. So the grin that lit his face at his win was only half way there. He jogged forward and scooped up his plusle and minun amidst the applause of his win, and then moved carefully to the downed pair and their trainer. "You really are amazing," he told all of them. "I'm glad I got to battle you, and I hope to see you again in other contests." He shifted the plusle and minun to one arm and held out a hand to Jessa.
Plusle "Takeru" : 19/29 Minun "Kari" : 19/29 Bulbasaur "Basil" : 0/23 Litwick "Corona" : 0/24

Everyone applauded the battlers as Azel dealt the last blow. Obsidian and Mr. Contesta walked to the contestants and shook their hands, smiles adorning their faces. Holding out a cushion with the Gustella Ribbon on it. "Congratulations on this win. Here is the Gustella Ribbon." Said the man as Obsidian passed a TM case to him. "And this is Steel Wing, use it well." She said, turning to the audience. "Let's give a big round of applause to our competitors!" She said as the crowd cheered. In the background, a young girl watched, frowning at Jessa's performance. It was such a shame, and she knew just what she had to do. When the coordinators came back from the stage, the girl grabbed Jessa's arm and pulled her into another hall, away from everyone else. She gestured for her to be quiet before grabbing a pokeball from her belt, stepping back. She glowed for a moment as sparkles flew up from her, and in her place, a red and white pokemon floated. "La!" It said, giving Jessa a warm smiled before handing her the pokeball she took, nodding in approval.
