“Sunnie, please step up to the stage! Sunnie, please step up to the stage!” The announcement rang out suddenly and startled Sunnie a bit, causing her to shoot up and start sweating. This was it – her chance to go out on stage and dazzle the crowd. She was in her snazzy new contest outfit, much more appealing and humble than her normal one, and feeling confident with Vitesse. She figured this would be good for him – a contest where he actually
could show off his beauty without insulting other pokemon and trainers too much. Joy!
She walked out onto the stage and was immediately drawn to the huge crowd in the contest arena.
Oh boy... this is juuust great.. she thought to herself, beginning to sweat profusely. She paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued outward. In her left hand, a Pokeball adorned with Flame Seals. In her right hand, a golden baton about 2 feet long with a streaming pink ribbon on the end. She stopped near the edge of the stage. This was it.
“Hello, ladies and gentlemen!!” Sunnie shouted towards the audience, waving her hands in the air. “Are you ready for a show? I said are you
ready for a show?? Well you better be, cuz this show is HOT HOT HOT!” With her cheesy pun completed, she gracefully twirled around backwards, whirling her Pokeball up in the air.
The pokeball opened in an explosion of flames as Vitesse flew out, cutting through the air and letting his flames trail out through the fiery seals. Sunnie began waving her baton wildly, letting its ribbon flow elegantly in a blurry pink trail. “Put on your sunglasses, folks! It's time for Flare Blitz!!”
As Vitesse descended towards the ground, his mane and leg-fire began to grow in size until it wrapped around his body. By the time he landed, his body was a swirling red-and-blue mass of flames, dancing and spinning around in a multicolored whirl. As he landed, he immediately began galloping in circles on the stage at full speed, only stopping once to rear up and neigh at the judges. Sunnie threw up her baton and let it spin in circles above her before catching it at the base without fail. “Look out from above! It's Bounce!!”
Vitesse turned from showing off to run towards the center of the stage. When he reached it, he immediately bounded perfectly vertically into the air. He almost seemed to fly like a pidgeot as he climbed higher and higher, nearly touching the ceiling of the arena. For a few seconds he remained in the air, hovering as if he were a blazing colorful star in the night sky. Sunnie began to twirl around in circles as she gave her next command. “Better put on your sunscreen, folks, because here comes Fire Spin!!”
The moment before Vitesse began to fall back to Earth, he turned his head downwards and opened his mouth. Out came a massive stream of fire, spinning down towards the earth until there was a whirling fire tornado from the stage to the ceiling. Vitesse began to fall down through it's middle, his cool blue flames contrasting beautifully with the blazing hot red of his fiery vortex. The silhouetted vision of Sunnie in front of the flames held her baton high, and then smashed it onto the ground with a loud
whump. “And now for the finale! Stomp!!”
Vitesse turned his body downward, falling even faster towards the stage. As he hit the stage with an ear-piercingly loud bang, the ground shook, and the shockwaves caused the tornado to begin exploding outward from the bottom up. Vitesse stood proudly like a mighty steed, his flames swirling around his body as embers from the resounding tornado rained down around him (luckily not going so far as to singe the judges – or even worse, the audience). As the last of the burning cinders fell to the stage, his flames began peeling off of him and returning down to their normal size.
Sunnie picked her baton off of the ground and bowed to the applause of the crowd, wondering if it was merely a pity-clap or a resounding encore of satisfaction. She turned around and returned Vitesse back into his pokeball, and quickly walked off of the stage, already beginning to blush.
