Paradise Pokeball System

a Show of Splendor and Grace: Landon’s Paradise Pokémon Showcase

"Hey, you are here! Good, good! There are two more performers, and then everyone will vote with their phone for their favorite!" Clive said, and I nodded.

"Yeah, I am just going to drop them off, and then I will be heading back up front to cheer them all on," I said, and Clive nodded.

"Good! I will join you after I am done announcing them! Miriam really got everyone going today, so I think that your girls are going to make them lose it! I know that I am excited!" Clive cheered with almost child-like enthusiasm, and I smiled with a nod, but Nurse Joy stepped between us.

"Is there a blind we can set up for the girls to hide behind? The girls are all excited to show off their dresses, but they want to keep hidden from Landon till it is their turn," Joy asked, and Clive nodded.

"I will go grab it right now!" Clive said and ran off as Joy turned to me.

"You need to turn around and then wait until I tell you to start walking, okay?" Joy asked, and I nodded.

"Yes, I promise not to peek! I know how much this means to the girls," I said, and both Joy and Jolene smiled as I turned to face east.

While I couldn't see them, I felt my Cosmog, Pawmi, Finneon, Ralts, and Charcadet leave Prisma, but the girls stayed quiet as they appeared. Every part of me wanted to see how cute they were, but I held tight to my resolve and kept facing east.

"You can go now, Joy said from behind me, and I left them all and headed back to the front of the crowd where the three girls were waiting for me. I smiled as I saw them all looking so perfect in their matching dresses, and even Landon was beaming with excitement.

"Oh, you all look amazing!" I said with a laugh and then hugged each of them as Clive announced Miriam and her Tinkaton as the winner.

"Alright, now that we have got the main event over, it is time for the special event! Tonight we have a special trainer here," Clive said from the stage, and then pointed down at me and waved for me to climb up on the stage. I sighed and did so, jumping up on stage and walking over to stand beside him. "This here is Landon, and I am sure that some of you have either met him or heard about him and his special Pokémon! Since all the Pokémon are his, I think that I will let you take over the rest of the show!"

"Huh?" I asked as everyone started to cheer, and Clive handed me the microphone.

"You will do fine," he whispered and patted my shoulder as he left me alone in the middle of the stage.

I looked out at the crowd and started to get nervous. There were only about thirty people, but this was the first time that I had ever gotten up on stage in front of people.

"You got this, Landon!" Nemona called up, and I let out a long sigh and then smiled as I brought the mic up to my mouth.

"Hey, everyone. As you all heard, my name is Landon, and I have special Pokémon that have what I refer to as Paradise Forms. I am sorry if I am a little nervous up here; this is my first time doing anything like this," I said nervously.

[Just introduce the girls one at a time and step back. The nervousness will subside.]

"I guess I will start off with my first one. This is my Cosmog, Lumi," I said, and the crowd gasped as I turned to see her in a cute light green dress that she floated onto the stage in.

"Lumi is the first Pokémon that I ever caught, and she has been with me since day one," I said proudly as everyone began to clap for her, and she flew around the stage and then came over to beside me.

Then she kissed me.

While this wasn't something out of the ordinary for us, the crowd went dead silent as my Cosmog held the kiss for much longer than needed. When she pulled back from me, she leaned into the microphone.

"Landon is the best Master ever!" Lumi said excitedly, and the crowd started to cheer again, and a few male trainers called up to say that they wished their Pokémon looked like mine.

I let out another sigh and smiled, wrapping an arm around my Cosmog's waist. It looked like things were going to work out after all.

"I am going to be doing this in the order that the girls were caught in, so next up, we have my Pawmi, Popsicle!" I called, and I turned to see her rush out onto the stage with a big smile on her cute face.

Popsicle was in a tight-fitting yellow and black two-piece bathing suit that almost made me cough, and the crowd watched as she walked to the center of the stage.

"Lightning Bolt!" Popsicle called out and struck a pose with one hand on her hip and then the other pointing to the sky, firing bolts of electricity.

The crowd lost it.

For only thirty-ish people, everyone seemed to be cheering as hard as they could, and we were slowly drawing in more people from around the city. I was glad that everyone was enjoying it, and seeing everyone excited made it a bit easier being up here, but so did having my Cosmog beside me.

My Pawmi ran over to me and hugged me with Lumi, and I returned the hug, making the crowd gush, and call out how cute we looked.

I smiled and brought the mic up to my mouth. "Next up is Finny, my Finneon!" I called, and Finny floated up on stage like Lumi had.

She was wearing an almost mermaid-like dress that seemed to be made of all sorts of bright colors, and the crowd made some oohs and ahhs as she floated around and then landed in her spot.
