Lumiose University - A Degree In Pokemon

Chapter 34: Sycamore's Mega Tournament - Part 1

Author's Note:

Hey all you wonderful people. Apologies, a busy week. But part of the reason for that is a special announcement. Some of you may remember that around September/October 2016, I had another story going, called, "Pokemon - Generation Bonnie - Hoenn Alone", starring, of course, Bonnie from the XY series, going on her own journey. Well, due to a variety of circumstances, it was cancelled. However, for a while now, I've been planning a reboot. So, I'm pleased to announce that "Generation Z - Hoenn Alone" will be arriving on FanFiction and Wattpad in early 2018! And yes, I'm sure some are worried how that'll affect this story. Well, I'm hoping this'll continue with weekly uploads, maybe more, until it's finished. And the Bonnie story, well, chapters 1 and 2 are done. I'll be ahead on that before publishing, so it shouldn't affect my schedule too much.

As for what I've got to show you in regards to the Bonnie story, you can check out some character profiles and the preview of chapter 1 on my Twitter account. The username is KingPoliwag (if you don't know, it's a long story in regards to that name). I've been looking forward to getting back to the adventure genre again so hopefully some of you can enjoy that when it comes out.

Anyways, as for LU, it's time to get on with the tournament!

Chapter 34: Sycamore's Mega Tournament – Part 1

"For anyone attending the Lumiose University: Sycamore Mega Tournament, please head to the main battlefield just next to the training facilities." The announcement blared out from the speakers put up near the park, easily heard by everyone in the surrounding area. Of course, most of the people did seem to want to hear it, so they didn't seem bothered by the noise. "Plenty of seating is available, but you'll need to be there soon to get the best seats."

The streets were a bit chaotic as Meowth, Jessie, James and Wobbuffet struggled to find a target so that they could execute their plan. They hadn't been able to find anyone that looked enough like Jessie, or James, in order to sneak themselves into the tournament, so they were making a last minute attempt to try and find someone. If they failed at that, they had decided they were just going to do a direct strike during the tournament, after waiting for the Pokemon to get tired out.

"None of these twerpette students are nearly as beautiful as me!" Jessie hissed, glaring at three girls who passed by, each looking just as unimpressed with Jessie as she was with them. "How am I supposed to act like one of them if they look so hideous?"

"Maybe it's not dem dat's da problem?" Meowth muttered, luckily not heard by Jessie as she walked off ahead, looking near a little store that sold trainer supplies, where some people seemed to be heading before they went to the tournament.

"If that Nurse Joy twerpette wasn't a friend of those twerps, we could've used her," James said, sighing in disappointment. "Jessie's got a good Nurse Joy disguise."

"She's too short. Besides, we also gotta make sure we can smuggle in one of our Pokemon. Don't wanna be usin' some weak one like she's got." Meowth had seen one girl who had her own Gourgeist earlier in the day, and thought it would be a good way to get Jessie into the tournament, but Jessie had been too picky about how she would've had to do her hair.

"We'll need to find someone pretty soon," James pointed out, looking over at a pair of trainers with a Charmander and a Krabby, clearly trying to decide if they were worth targeting. "Attacking a big group of trainers doesn't usually go well for us."

Meowth thought on that for a moment, listening to a couple of people who sounded like they were probably going to just be spectators. "It's going to be an exciting tournament!" one of them was saying, a jump in their step as they walked along. "I can't believe the winner is getting a Key Stone!"
