Prologue
Clara fidgeted nervously as she cautiously exited the dressing room that had been assigned to her.
"I know that I designed this dress and that I really wanted to show it off, but now that the moment has finally arrived...." Clara blushed as she looked down at the dress she had spent that last three weeks preparing and couldn't help but mentally kick herself for how stupid she was for not seeing it earlier. The dress was simple in design. It was divided into two parts. the chest piece was made of black leather, and it hugged her body tightly from below her breasts, to the very edges of her neck. The bottom half of her dress was of a more complex design. Instead of leather, the bottom half was a long flowing piece of black silk that barely touched her ankles. The most noticeable feature however, was the large, pointed tail with a single blue ring around it that drew the most attention to her rear.
Clara was actually proud of how her design turned out; however, she couldn't help but sigh as she looked down at the one feature that she was new severely regretting.
"UGH! I hate having my belly exposed!, it's so embarrassing..." Clara mumbled that last part with a frown.
Clara's thoughts were quickly interrupted however, as a large black mass rubbed affectionately against her legs. Despite the situation, she couldn't help but smile as she looked down at her companion who had now preceded to more vigorous rubs and purring.
"Well of course you would like it. I did after all design the dress after you didn't I silly?" Clara said playfully. The rubbing stopped, and the perpetrator looked up with its big, yellow, mischievous eyes. Clara giggled as she bent down and scooped up the umbreon in her arms.
"You did make it quite clear how much you liked this outfit Saul." Clara whispered suggestively.
Saul gave a soft smile and preceded to lick Clara's cheek. Clara responded by giving Saul a small peck on the forehead.
"You know that we can't do that here, but I promise that we will go on one of our camping trips after this." Clara stated happily. The umbreon smiled and nodded before gently jumping out of her arms and onto the floor.
"OH! I almost forgot! we have to get you ready as well Saul!" she exclaimed suddenly. Before Saul could even react, Clara scooped him up again and ran back into the room with the umbreon in her arms. Clara quickly placed Saul in front of the mirror and began to brush him feverously. Saul glared over his shoulder at Clara as she continued to pull on his coat.
Clara smiled sheepishly at this. "Sorry, I got caught up in the excitement. I promise I will be gentle this time."
Saul's purr was his only response as Clara began her delicate brushing on his fur. As Clara groomed him, she could not help but notice the blue rings on Saul's body begin to glow a light blue.
Clara smiled at his reaction as she continued to brush his coat. A few minutes passed before she was done brushing him. The purring stopped, and the umbreon looked over his shoulder with a satisfied look on his face.
Clara knew that face better than anyone, and she couldn't help but chuckle at the Umbreon's current expression. "I should record your reaction every time I finish brushing your fur. It is so adorable." Clara giggled. Saul give a light huff as he jumped off the luxurious chair and began to stretch his muscles in preparation for the upcoming event.
Clara stole one last look at the mirror as she went over her mental check list of everything she was to get done before she went on stage.
" Ribbons, check. Pokeballs, check. A happily groomed umbreon." Clara glanced over at Saul as he continued to warm up him muscles. "check! And finally, the dre-....." She paused as she remember her earlier dilemma. Her blush returned stronger than ever.
"Ch-Ch-Check." Clara stuttered. However, before she could repeat what happened earlier in the hall, Saul pressed his face against her legs in attempt to comfort her. Clara's negative thoughts were bled from her mind as she let out a small sigh of relief.
"Thanks Saul, I needed that." Saul gave her a small smile and nodded before he raised his paw at the door.
Clara gave a nod in understanding. "Yeah, the match is about to start. We better get going before we are disqualified." Clara quickly returned Saul to his pokeball before exiting the room and making her way towards the stage.
*~*
Clara picked up her pace as she strode confidently down the hall towards her destination. This is it. The moment that I have spent the last several years training for. I just can't believe we are finally here, She mused to herself with a small smile. Now it is time to put all that training to use, She glanced down at her Pokeball belt and let her smile bloom. Of course I couldn't have done it without you guys. I will make sure to treat everyone after this regardless if we win or lose.
Clara slowed down her power walk as she neared the door to the inner stadium. After a slight hesitation, she flung the door open and made her way onto the field. As soon as she stepped through the door, her ears were met with the screams of excitement from the hundreds of people who have come to witness the final event of the Grand Festival. The deafening crowd however, grew silent as the announcer took her place in the center of the battlefield.
"All right folks! It's time for the event the everyone has been waiting for!" she announcer exclaimed with much enthusiasm. "This is the final battle of the Grand Festival, and one of these lucky coordinators will leave today with the fabulous RIBBON CUP!!!" The cheering broke out again at the mention of the trophy that all was currently sitting on a pedestal behind the judges. Clara couldn't help but give a small cheer as well at the mention of the cup, it was after all the item that every coordinator dreamed about obtaining.
"People of Slateport City, ARE YOU READY FOR THE FINAL EVENT!?" The announcers question was met with a loud cheer. " I can't hear you." The announcer taunted. The next cheer forced Clara to cover her ears at the level of volume as the sheer mass of cheers made it feel like her head was vibrating. Ouch! jeez, I haven't heard anything that loud since I battled that Exploud. Clara mentally whined as she rubbed her ears.
"OK! on our left we have contestant number 34, Sarah White from Lilycove City!" The crowd cheered louder as the spotlight highlighted Sarah. She was a young woman in her twenties with a long ponytail braided from her golden, blond hair. Her dress was a navy, blue silk trumpet that covered the entire midsection of her body as well her legs. The most noticeable feature however, was the large fluffed up piece of cotton that she had wrapped around her neck. Clara recognized the pattern almost immediately after that. Apparently Sarah had gotten the same idea about Pokémon fashion and had decided to model her dress after her Altaria.
After Sarah gave a quick bow, the announcer quickly shifted her attention towards Clara. "And to our right we have contestant number 4, Clara Devita from Lumiose City!" The spotlight now shifted onto Clara, as well as the attention of everyone in the stadium. Clara waved and smiled at the crowd as they cheered for her as well, but immediately covered her stomach when she heard someone whistled at her. She quickly composed herself after realizing her reaction and hastily reached down to grab to the two Pokeballs that were on her belt as she readied for the start of the battle.
The announcer grabbed everyone's attention once again. "Ok, the rules are simple. This will be a double battle between two of each contestants Pokémon. And like all the previous battles, this match will be decided when either of the trainer's meters hits zero, if the timer hits zero, or if the other trainer's Pokémon are unable to battle! Now without further adieu, LET THE BATTLE COMMENCE!"
Sarah was the first to react. "GO! Vivillon, Altaria!" Sarah shouted as the two Pokémon exploded from their Pokeballs in a flash of stars and bubbles before proudly displaying themselves for everyone to see. "Vivillon!, Altaria!" exclaimed the two Pokémon.
Clara got into her own stance. "Let's win this! Saul, Maiden!" Clara called out as she released her Pokémon onto the field. And like Sarah's Pokémon, the two erupted from their Pokeballs in a storm of leafs and musical notes. "Umbreon!, Gothitelle!" exclaimed Saul and Maiden as they got into their battle stance as well.
Sarah attacked first. "Vivillon use energy ball!, and Altaria use dragon breath!" Each of the Pokémon opened their mouths as they prepared to fire their attacks, however, they were not given a chance.
"Saul!, Maiden! Use psychic!" shouted Clara. Saul and Maiden eyes glowed an eerie blue as they grasped both of the opponent's Pokémon in their psychic hold.
In the split second that the Vivillon and Altaria were about to fire their attacks, Clara's Pokémon turned them around so that they were facing one another. Sarah's Pokémon looked wide-eyed at one another as they fired their attacks at each other. The explosion that followed covered up Sarah's Pokémon in a thick smoke, and Sarah's meter dropped down about a fifth of a fraction.
"Not bad." Smirked Sarah. "But not good enough! Vivillon use gust, and Altaria use sky attack!" Clara had no time to react as Alteria's sky attack burst from the smoke at an unnatural velocity thanks to the gust. The large bird went careening into both Saul and Maiden before Clara could even shout a counter.
"Saul! Maiden!" Clara shouted out of distress. However, she quickly calmed down when she realized that both of her Pokémon were ok, but battered pretty good.
Clara gave her own smirk. "You're not bad yourself. Now Maiden, use rock tomb!" The Gothitelle released a small battle cry as she summoned the giant boulders that were now falling towards Sarah's Pokémon.
"Dodge it! Then Altaria, use dragon claw to get rid of those rocks!" Sarah shouted. The two flying Pokémon dodged and weaved through in an almost dancing fashion as they avoided the massive boulders. Even as Clara heard her meter go down, she still couldn't help but smirk. Once the boulders had stopped falling, the Altaria took action by slicing the boulders into pieces with its dragon claw.
Clara's smirk grew even wider at this. "Ok! Maiden, use psychic on the rocks!"
"Gothitelllllle!" shouted Maiden as she willed the rocks up into the air to surround Sarah's Pokémon. Once the Pokémon where surrounded, Maiden willed the rocks to fly rapidly around the other two Pokémon. The effect was immediate, the rocks went flying in erratic patterns while hitting Sarah's Pokémon on the process, the sheer amount of rocks were too great to dodge.
However, Clara's strategy was not over yet. "Now Saul, hit them with hyper beam!" Saul parted his jaws as he prepared the devastating attack.
"Oh no you don't! Altaria use bulldoze!" Sarah shouted. Altaria complied and charged with intent to break out of the rocky prison. However, rocks kept hurtling into the flying-type which were slowing down its speed significantly.
The rocks that were still pelting Sarah's Pokémon provided Saul the perfect opportunity to fire his hyper beam. Saul aimed and fired the massive beam of energy right at the escaping Altaria.
The explosion rocked the stadium as the hyper beam met its mark. A large cloud of smoke billowed out onto the field, obscuring everyone's vision. When the smoke cleared, it was clear that Clara's tactic had paid off.
Both Vivillon and Altaria were barely able to stay off the ground. Their bodies were covered in soot and bruises, though it looked like Altaria took the worst of it
"Vivillon! Altaria!" Sarah cried out, a concerned expression on her face. "quick! Altaria use roost! And Vivillon use light screen!" Altaria quickly landed onto the floor of the arena while Vivillon got in front of Altaria and preformed the light screen.
I have to keep the pressure up. Clara concluded as she looked over the current situation. "Saul, Maiden! use shadow ball!" Saul and Maiden both fired their shadow balls at the downed Pokémon with the intent to end the match. However, Sarah wasn't going to go down that easy.
"Vivillon use protect!" Vivillon threw up the impenetrable shield at the last second, the two shadow balls colliding into the shield and promptly exploding.
"OK! It's time to end this! Vivillon use your energy ball, and Altaria use ice beam!" Sarah shouted. Both of Sarah's Pokémon let out a loud battle cry at they put their all into the next attack. Vivillon's energy ball was the first to fire, and as the massive ball of grass energy zoomed through the air, a large ice beam hit the back of it forcing it to freeze. The energies mixed together, ice and grass, melding together to become a devastating new attack. The result was a hurdling comet of prismatic energy that left a trail of color deifying beauty in its wake.
Clara had to admit, it was beautiful, but she wasn't willing to shown up just yet. "Alright! Saul use shadow ball, and Maiden use your dark pulse!"
Saul quickly fired his shadow ball with Maiden's dark pulse right on its tail. The dark pulse connected with the shadow ball and prompted a fusion of both ghost and dark type energy. The was result was a massive black fire ball that left a trail of heat and glass in its wake.
The two massive energies collided with one another and fought for dominance. Everyone covered their eyes when they saw the two powers radiated and expanded, a sign that an explosion was imminent.
Several seconds passed with nothing happening. Clara was the first to risk a peek at the aftermath of such a collision, and like everyone else's reaction at that time, all she could simply do it stare in awe at the result.
Floating in the middle of the stadium, was a large black orb the size of a beach ball. The beauty was indescribable as she watched countless colors dance inside the obsidian orb. However, The beauty was short lived as the orb then decided to explode.
Before Clara could even shield herself from the incoming shockwave, an all too familiar umbreon jumped directly between Clara and the oncoming shockwave.
"UMBREON!" Saul shouted as whatever remaining energy he had left, which wasn't much, was used to shield him and Clara. Once the shockwave passed, Saul let his protect dissipate while he waited for his trainer to get up. Clara quickly recovered when she saw that the umbreon was having trouble standing up. She stood up and quickly scooped Saul up in her arms and hugged him tightly.
The stadium was silent for a few seconds before people regained their senses and began to cheer like mad. The cheering was once again interrupted as the scoreboard dinged, signaling that the match had come to an end. Clara froze at that sound, and risked turning her head around to look at the score board.
The score was Sarah with 8% left on her meter, and Clara with 10% left on her meter. After seeing that score, Clara did the only reasonable thing that any person would do when they realized that they just won the grand festival, she passed out with a goofy grin on her face.
*~*
Eight hours after winning the ribbon cup, Clara felt like she was going to pass out from exhaustion from the sheer amount of interviews and autographs requests that had been thrown at her. When Clara first set her eyes on becoming a top coordinator, she would have never believed that being famous was a bad thing.
Oh well, Clara mentally shrugged. All that mattered right now was the camping trip that she promised her team after the contest. And she was making sure of that promise because no sooner when she was given some alone time in the restroom, did she jump out the window and sprint like sprint like a mad man away from the reporters. After making sure that no one was following her, Clara quickly stopped by at her apartment to pick up her camping gear before she left towards her secret camping spot.
Clara and Saul arrived at the camp site after a three hour hike, they probably would have arrived a lot earlier if not for the several long breaks they took on the way up. Clara gave a sigh of relief as they walked under the canopy that concealed their secret spot. The camp was shrouded by a large dome of natural leafs and vines that grew off several large trees in the center of the campsite. Several yards from the trees was a shallow brook that provided clean water from the nearby mountains and ran through the outer walls of the area.
Reluctantly, Clara tore her eyes away from the scenery and made her way to a large patch of grass in the center of the dome. There, she unpacked her supplies and laid them out in front of her before sorting them into separate piles.
Saul waited till Clara had finished prepping the tent before he walked over and placed a paw on her hip. Clara turned to take a look at the offending umbreon with a confused expression on her face.
She only understood what Saul was trying to tell her when he removed the Pokeballs off her belt with his psychic and gently placed them in her hand.
"I know, I was just about to bring them out. I just wanted to have the campsite ready as a surprise since I only told you about it." Clara replied with a light smile as she gently rubbed Saul's head. The Umbreon cooed as she began to scratch him in his favorite spot right behind the ears.
With one head still scratching Saul's head, Clara tossed the Pokeballs into air. "C'mon out guys! time to celebrate!"
The Pokeballs exploded in a brilliant flash of light as a Gothitelle and Noivern emerged. The latter stretching his large leathery membranes as he got a feel for the area.
"Noiveerrn" Moaned the sound wave Pokémon as he flopped down on his belly and began to roll around in the grass.
I have to agree Echo, it is nice to be here once again, Maiden communicated telepathically for the other two to hear. Clara gave a little groan in envy at the Gothitelle's ability to communicate with her mind.
"Hey Maiden, when do you think you will be able to link me telepathically to other Pokémon as well? I'm getting tired of missing out on everything you guys say to each other." Clara stated honestly.
Maiden frowned at this " I know I have the power to links minds together, but a human's mind is a lot different from a Pokémon's. Plus, I only evolved a week ago, so I am still trying to adjust my powers to the point that I know I can perform the link safely without tearing apart your mind."
Clara shuddered at the thought of that. As much as she wanted to spark a real conversation with Saul, She wasn't willing to risk becoming a vegetable for it.
"point made. Ok! that morbid thought aside, I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you guys. We came a long way, and regardless of the trial, we always pulled through with flying colors. And our efforts are shown in this here cup." Clara held out the ribbon cup for her Pokémon to see, a smile etched on their faces. "And as a reward I went and got the most expensive cake I could find."
It was Clara's turn to grin as she pulled out the large pink box from her backpack. Even inside the box, the aroma of the cake quickly spread amongst the party. Maiden gave a delighted sigh as the scent hit her nose, while Saul and Echo made no attempt to hide their drool.
Clara's grin threaten to split her face as she lifted the box to expose the cake and all its glory. Every Pokémon sat in stunned silence as they witnessed the contents of the box. Maiden was the first to respond.
"Is that what I think it is?" The Gothitelle projected in awe. Clara's grin remained as she nodded her head in confirmation.
"It is my dear friends, a starf berry cake!" Clara pronounced in a overstated fashion.
Starf berries where an incredibly rare breed of fruit that yielded to every known Pokémon's taste. Not many get to taste the benevolent fruit at all in their life time. And the fact that Clara had a whole cake made out of them was simply unbelievable.
The Pokémon quickly broke the silence as they let out a loud cheer. Tonight was going to be interesting.
*~*
Echo was the first to crash as he fell asleep upside down in the tree with a content smile and some cake frosting still plastered on his face. Maiden was quick to follow as she fell asleep on top of the sleeping bag Clara had brought for her.
Clara and Saul were the only ones awake as they sat both sat silently together next to the small fire, both content just by embrace that they were sharing. However, Saul broke the silence when he leaned up and licked Clara's lips. With a sultry smile, Clara leaned down and began to kiss the umbreon back. She however didn't get that far as an overwhelming drowsiness began to wash over her. Her vision stated to fade as a voice resonated in her head.
"Rest now my children, for when you awake a whole new world shall be your home.”

Nothing's really wrong with the prolouge from what I see except this.
The order of the words is off for this sentence.
5085997 "Then use dragon claw Altaria, to get rid of those rocks!"
you forgot the comma Robomac. Not only is it grammatical, it's also slightly better to read with a pause.
5086854
Why not use two commas to separate the subject?
"Then use dragon claw, Altaria, to get rid of those rocks!"
Or just remove the issue (because I'm a bit iffy about the double commas) by:
"Then use dragon claw to get rid of those rocks, Altaria!"
I honestly can't believe that I just liked this story. I do not like beastiality. Normally I won't even read it... However this story is just too good to pass up!
Sarah's meter
dropped down about a fifth of a fraction.
this sounds weird, "by fifth" or "by the fraction of fifth would be better, the latter one the best.
Love it already!!!!
Love it already!!!!
First time reading this. Liked!
Damn cockblocking Arceus.
Despite the frequent grammatical errors, there were a few things I liked about this chapter.
