Hello, all.
This is a little ficlet I just felt like writing out of the blue, and I wanted to share it with you all.
This is actually a short bit from a later chapter of an original fanfic I'm writing called Pokemon Academy. (Not to be confused with the Pokemon Academy RPG being hosted on this forum. I came up with the name a good while before I first came here.)
Anyway, in this scene, the main character Alex is competing in the semi-finals of the inter-school Pokemon contest. In order to best compete with an expert co-ordinater from Pokemon Tech, he comes up with a very unusual routine for the preliminary round.
And by unusual, I mean Alex dressing in drag and doing a dance number with Misdreavus.
Anway, read on, and let me know what you think. If you guys like it, I may finally finish the first chapter of the fic proper.
But enough pretense. On with the show.

Pokemon Academy Episode X: Trapped Performance
"And now, Entry #43, representing the Fire Red dorm of Pokemon Academy, Alex - I mean Alexandria - Reed!"
Alex stepped out onto the stage in his frilly aqua blue dress, Pokeball in hand. Tossing back the hair of his blonde wig, he waved to the crowd as they cheered. Inside, he was pretty nervous. He and Misdreavus had done dance routines before, but none quite like this. However, this routine was his idea, and it would have been pretty hypocritical of him to back out now. Pressing the button on his Poketch, he started the song on his mp3 player.
o/^ Elissa - "Mamboleo" (English Version) o/^
"Misdreavus, it's showtime!", he called as he threw his Pokeball into the air. As the Pokeball opened, little miniature mirror balls sprang from the sticker on the Ball Capsule, and Misdreavus emerged, wearing a bowtie.
As the first verse started, Alex wasted no words, and began to dance. Misdreavus happily joined in, floating in time to his steps as it spun and twirled around gracefully. Misdreavus acted as the Fred Astair to Alex's Ginger Rogers as it used its psychic powers to spin him around, dip him, and glide him across the stage as it would a lovely prom date.
Then the chorus kicked in, and Alex stepped back, and pulled a pair of gymnast ribbons out of his pocket. He threw them at Misdreavus, and called out, "Misdreavus! Use Confusion!" Misdreavus floated them in mid-air, and began twirling them around in all sorts of lovely patterns. It made shapes of stars, the sun, the moon, and a few fancy geometric shapes. All the while, Alex continued to dance grafully around it.
They continued like this through the second verse, then when the chorus kicked in again, Misdreavus floated the ribbons back to Alex, who caught them, put them away, and pulled out a bag of large marbles. He threw these at Misdreavus and called out, "Misdreavus, use Psybeam!" Misdreavus fired them back at Alex, who caught them and threw them back as they continues to dance around the stage.
As Alex danced together with Misdreavus, all thoughts of nervousness he had carried before had left him. He was having so much fun dancing with Misdreavus that he'd almost forgotten that he was dressed in drag.
Then the bridge kicked in, and Alex knew it was time bring out the big guns. "Misdreavus, use Shadow Ball", Alex yelled, and it fired off several slow Shadow Balls that surrounded the stage. Then he called, "Good job, Misdreavus! Now use Thunderbolt!", and Misdreavus fired off a large bolt of electricity that surrounded the Shadow Balls it had just fired. Infused with electricity, they became shining balls of light that hovered around the two of them.
"Okay, Missy D! Time for the big finale! Use Psychic!" Misdreavus used Psychic on Alex and the lightning-infused Shadow Balls, floating both above the stage. As the final chorus kicked in, Alex and Misdreavus danced together in mid-air, as Misdreavus spun the glowing Shadow Balls around them in a dazzling pattern. By this time, the crowd had started clapping along to the music.As the song began to wind down, Misdreavus dissipated the Shabow Balls, and floated Alex gently down to the ground. As it ended, Misdreavus floated toward Alex, who embraced it in a warm hug.
The crowd erupted into a thunderous applause.
"What a truly phenomenal performance! Let's hear it for Ale - uh - Alexandria and Misdreavus, ladies and gentlemen!", said Vivian. "Now, let's hear what the judges thought!"
"One of the best performances I've seen in ages!", said Contesta. "Not only did both trainer and Pokemon have incredible stage presence, but all of the Pokemon's attacks were used with no wasted effort!"
"Remarkable!" said Sukizo. "My heart was racing through the whole dance."
"That dance truly took my breath away.", said Nurse Joy. "This is a perfect example of what happens when trainer and Pokemon work in true harmony."
"And now, let's see the scores!", said Vivian.
9.9 from Contesta, 10 from Sukizo, and 10 from Nurse Joy.
"And there you have it!", said Vivian among the roar of applause. "A total of 29.9! This is the highest rank we've seen from a rookie co-ordinator in quite some time!"
Alex turned toward the crowd and curtsied. "Thank you all, but if anyone deserves the applause, it's Misdreavus. It was the real star of the show." Misdreavus gave a bow, and the crowd continued to cheer.
"And that ends the contest preliminaries!", said Vivian as Alex and Misdreavus turned to leave. "In a moment, we'll announce the qualifiers for Round 2!"
Before they left, Alex turned around and gave one final curtsey. As they walked off, Alex could have sworn he heard one guy scream, "I LOVE YOU, ALEXANDRIA! MARRY ME!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the locker room, the others were ecstatic.
"You were awesome!", said Macey. "You had the whole audience getting their groove on!"
"Fer a moment, you even had ME thinking you was a girl!", said Tony. "But you and Misdreavus had it all together!"
At that moment, Sakura ran in, and without warning, caught Alex in a mega-glomp.
"YOU DID IT!", said Sakura. "I was so nervous the whole time, but you were amazing! And the Leaf Green girls did a great job making you over! You were even prettier than my sisters!"
"Hey! Don't forget who picked out the dress!", said Kiruka from the doorway.
"We know, Kiruka. We know", said Macey.
Kiruka walked over to Alex, and gave him a sly grin. "So, how'd it feel living in the world of traps for a day?"
"Well, it's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't wanna live there", said Alex. Everyone laughed.
"Umm, Alex, I was kinda wondering.....", said Sakura. "After the contest, do you wanna go shopping with me?"
"Sure thing!", said Alex.
"Oh, and could you wear the dress when we go?", said Sakura. Every jaw in the room except Kiruka's hit the floor.
"You - really wanna hang out with me - while I'm dressed as a girl?"
"Well, I thought it'd be kinda fun. We'd look just like two sisters going shopping together. Besides, the outfit's so good, I doubt anyone will be able to tell you're a guy", said Sakura. "Please? Just this once? For me?"
"Well, if you really want to.....then, sure."
"Oh, thank you!" Sakura glomped Alex again, much to Kiruka's annoyance.

Well, that's it in a nutshell. I await your verdict. Thanks in advance for reading.
