Pierre: Finish! Now, point your glow sticks and choose the colour of the performer you want to go through.

Maria: Litwick, Energy Ball!

Jon: This is beautiful.

Maria: Now, use Flame Charge and Dark Pulse!

'''Fennekin surrounds itself with Flame Charge and stays still while Litwick uses Dark Pulse. The moves collide and Fennekin gets sent into the air. Maria looks scared, but Fennekin composes herself and then spins till she is on the ground. The three of them bow. The four performers are now on stage with Pierre.'''

Kyle: I hope she gets through. Dark Pulse and Flame Charge combining like that wasn’t meant to happen.

Jon: It’s all practice, and she done well.

Pierre: Now, choose the performer you think was the best.

Jon: I hope she is okay.

Kyle: I do too.

'''Maria walks out and sees Jon and Kyle. She goes over to them, and then begins to cry. Lilly walks over and Maria just sobs and stops crying.'''

Lilly: For your first performance, you were great.

Maria: Really?

Lilly: Yeah. I was told once, you can only give people and Pokemon hope by your smile.

Jon: I can agree to that. That’s how I know my Pokemon have faith in me, and vice versa.

Maria: Thanks.

Maria wipes away her tears.

Maria: I’m going to keep on practicing and when the next performance arrives, I’ll win it!

Lilly: That’s good to hear. I’ll see you later.

Maria: Okay Lilly, and thanks!

Lilly waves and walks off.

Kyle: What now?

Maria: We go to Shalour City. Jon still have a gym battle, and I can keep on training and focusing on my way over there.
