With that command, Milo began to sing. Then she rose her head, and the water beneath her swelled. It swelled into a mighty wave nearly twenty feet high with Milo riding its crest. Gyrados picked up Wallace and tossed the man onto his back as the wave began to crash down.

The surf slammed down onto the beach, swamping both stages under a few good feet of water and kicking up sand. It smacked the base of the judge’s box, causing sea spray. Angry foam rose to the water’s surface.

Milo stood in the middle of the flood, watching the judges. Gyrados remained to the left with Wallace on his back.

Then, before it could recede, Wallace called out, “Milo, now!”

Milo leapt into the air. Frost formed around her mouth, and she let loose a beam of pure cold at the water below. The water covering both stages below froze in mere moments, capturing the pattern of the furious waves and foam. What was several feet of ocean mere moments ago was now solid ice.

Wallace stepped off his gyrados and, watching his pokemon, began to walk towards the front of the stage. “Gyrados, dragon dance!”

Gyrados yanked his body free from the ice. He flew in a circle with a spin as ice chunks scattered onto the ground. Then he straightened out and roared loud enough to make the ice chunks clatter.

Wallace threw both of his hands into the air before pointing dramatically at Gyrados. “Now, Gyrados! Shake things up!”

Gyrados proceeded to fly down and slam his tail into the ice. There was a low rumble. Then, the ice began to shudder. And then it began to shake, slowly at first but getting more and more intense. Within seconds, the ice began to crack and spiderweb with deafening snaps. Pieces rapidly broke off, some falling below the layer of ice while others were thrust up like mountains. Wallace leapt to the side to avoid being hit by an ice slab as Milo jumped over one.

The entire landscape looked like a terrible icy wasteland. It looked like the entire place had suffered multiple quakes and been completely destroyed when, truthfully, only the ice layer had been. The stage below might have some cracks, but that should be it.

The place looked destroyed. And yet, Wallace wasn’t quite done.

Now back on his feet, Wallace once again threw both hands in the air. “Now! Gyrados!” He thrust a hand forward. “Finished it off with a blast of pure strength!” Then he pulled his hands back and pointed at his other pokemon. “At Milo!”

One might expect Milo to be worried. One might expect Gyrados to be hesitant at attacking his teammate. Instead, however, both of them were as calm as they could be. Gyrados turned to face her, and in the blink of an eye, let loose a mighty hyper beam. Milo looked at the oncoming attack with acceptance.

At the last moment, too quick for most to see, she kicked up a chunk of the ice with her tail. The hyper beam hit the ice full force, blasting it to bits. Steam flared up. The shock wave threw powderized ice into the air.

When the steam and snow cleared, there stood Milo, unmoved, seemingly struck but unharmed. Her scales glittered as brightly as they ever had. She hadn’t blinked, it didn’t look like she’d even flinched. She stood as a perfect illusion of taking a hit and being completely unfazed.

Nerves loomed over Keith’s head while Eevee was settled in his lap and Mightyena resting at his feet, he didn’t really know why he decided to do this in the first place. He had made a promise to his uncle that he was going to try since it would be something different from what the raven has dealt with. Giving a small breath, he leaned his head back before Eevee gave a small cry in concern. The small pokemon could tell that he was nervous, blue-gray eyes flickered down to the one that was in his lap though

“I’m okay, Eevee. Just a bit nervous.”

Silence loomed over them once more while his thoughts were drifting toward what was waiting for them, there would be a crowd of people that would be watching their every move that they would make. Keith didn’t want to make any mistakes, he had a feeling that mistakes would be made as his nerves weren’t helping at all. Swallowing it down and dealing with it was the only thing that he could do right now, he just wanted to get this over with.

It was because of Uncle Thace that Keith was able to get to where he was today if it wasn’t for him then he would of been on his own still. That foster home that Thace had found him in wasn’t a good place in the first place, Keith was happy to leave and be with someone who actually cared for him. Thace looked passed the issues that he had and only saw his nephew who needed help from someone who was willing to give it. After arriving at the lab which had a small house in the back, it was discovered that Keith had the ability to use aura which was a rare one since not a lot of people had it. He was able to sense the feelings from Pokemon while over time his ability grew stronger giving him the chance to be able to understand them a lot better, he could tell when something was bothering them or not. It took him some time to learn more about using his aura getting the help from books, what Thace could help him with, and the pokemon that stayed at the lab. Giving a small breath, he glanced up at the sound of of his name being called before moving to get up so they could head off onto the stage. Glancing down at Eevee and Mightyena, he gave a slight smile despite his nerves

“Let’s go.”

Sand rested underneath Keith’s feet as his gaze scanned the ones that were sitting in front of him, it wasn’t helping his nerves at all though. Nerves and fear loomed over his head about how this was going to go, he just wanted to get this over with and hide as much as possible to help calm himself down. A small breath escaped him before picking up on the emotions coming from Eevee and Mightyena, they both were ready to start the show that they had to give.

The music started in the background as the two Pokemon moved to get ready for what was going to happen next. Keith had to remind himself to breathe while he was feeling a lot of mixed emotions at the moment, this was hard. They had practiced plenty of times though to make sure that nothing would go wrong despite the knowledge of mistakes that could happen at any time.

Mightyena landed on the stage that was in the middle of the ocean while Eevee stood next to Keith still. Nodding, Eevee jumped up before using swift causing the water to fly in the air far above Mightyena’s head. The wolf-like Pokemon shifted on his feet before the command was given “Ice Fang!”

The darker Pokemon hit the flying water before it turned into sparkling ice as Mightyena landed on the sand with ease. Glancing down at Eevee, he gave a small nod for her to finish them off with on more move. The fluffy pokemon rammed through the frozen water using take down causing it to crack and shatter into tiny pieces. Eevee’s soft feet touched the stage that was in the middle of the water before the song came to an end as the performance was finally over with.
