"Indeed we can," replied Shiranui, "For now, we have two contests to focus on before we get to the Battle Tower."

"That of course depends on where the Battle Pyramid is located," added Shiranui, "My Porygon couldn't get a location for it."
"Now we definitely have a ferry to catch," replied Shiranui.
Shiranui was surprised to see Liam lose to May as he was used to facing his travelling companion in the final. "His Sceptile did have a type disadvantage and Ice-types have become common in the Contest circuit," he mused as he rethought his plan of attack.
The grand final match was on. "Glaceon, take the stage!"
"Hoshi, it's ninja time!" Similar to May's previous battle, both Pokémon appeared with Hoshi formed from a myriad of stars. As the minutes ticked by both coordinators were evenly matched in points and the stage was covered in ice from Glaceon's moves. "Hoshi, time for your Shuriken Combo!" Mixing Rollout with Gyro Ball, Hoshi started spinning at a speed similar to a car engine at idle and struck Glaceon for a decent amount of damage. Glaceon fired a Signal Beam and couldn't land a hit, but it still resulted in a loss of points for Shiranui as the bright light glistened off the ice and Glaceon's coat. Hoshi returned at a faster spin speed and nailed Glaceon for enough damage to knock it out. Shiranui had won the ribbon, bringing his ribbon tally to three.

It didn't take long for Shiranui to win his semi-final battle. Sandslash tried to Dig its way out of harm's way, but Hoshi used Hydro Pump down the hole and a geyser erupted not that far away, launching Sandslash into the air. Sandslash was knocked out when it landed.
Shiranui's quarter final opponent sent out a Shuckle. "Hoshi, I choose you!" Shiranui responded by opening a star-labelled Poké Ball. Stars burst out of the ball and two of them joined together to form a ten-pointed star that metamorphosed into a Starmie.
"Shuckle, Double Team!"
"Hoshi, Confuse Ray!" Hoshi's core rapidly blinked through the seven colours of the rainbow as the Starmie let off a bright flash that left Shuckle confused. Shuckle hurt itself in its confusion and that caused its trainer's points to take another hit.
"Shuckle, Sandstorm!"
"Hoshi, Reflect Type!" The Starmie changed its type to match Shuckle's, changing the colour of its limbs to ecru and sticking with yellow for the area around its core. Shuckle was able to summon a sandstorm and thanks to Hoshi's type change, neither battler took any damage from the weather.
"Shuckle, Earthquake!"
"Hoshi, you may fire when ready." Hoshi's core glowed a bright lime green as laser beams issued forth from all ten of its limbs, converging into a focal point in front of its crystal core. A powerful beam was fired from the focal point and nailed Shuckle squarely for a hit. Shuckle withdrew into its shell and slammed itself onto the stage, causing an earthquake that shook Hoshi for a decent amount of damage.
"Shuckle, Gyro Ball!"
"Hoshi, Rollout!" Shuckle snapped out of its confusion and both battlers started spinning towards each other and at impact, the two received the same amount of damage.
"Shuckle, Shell Smash!" Hoshi's spin speed was at a steady climb as the Starmie charged in for another hit. Shuckle made cracks in its shell, but its defence stats went up whilst its Speed and Attack stats took a sharp drop due to its Contrary ability "Power Split!" Hoshi zeroed in for a third hit and nailed Shuckle right in its shell crack for a critical hit. The damage was just enough to knock Shuckle out and Shiranui advanced to the semis.

Shiranui was Coordinator #8. "Numeru, I choose you!" He opened the ball with the bubble seal and a myriad of bubbles flew out before coalescing into his Goodra. "Set the scene with Rain Dance!" Numeru performed a swaying dance and rain started falling on the stage. "Fire a Bolt-Beam combo into the clouds!" Numeru's horns started arcing with electricity while she charged up an Ice Beam from her mouth. Both attacks were launched straight up and they formed a double helix until they mixed into the clouds and turned it into a storm that rained sleet. "Finish it with a Draco Meteor!" Numeru launched an orb of draconic energy into the storm and when the orb reached its apex the stormy weather was sucked into it before it exploded into eight meteorites charged with ice and electrical energy. The meteorites rained down on the stage and both Shiranui and Numeru took a bow.
"An excellent display of a popular mix of attacks."
"Goodra are remarkable!"
"The bond between the two of you is exceptional."

Shiranui did likewise and donned his traditional ninja outfit. He polished two regular Poké Balls that held his entrants, placed them into capsules and added a bubble seal to one and a star seal to the other.
Shiranui nodded in agreement. He needed three more ribbons before he qualified for the Grand Festival.
"That's right," said Shiranui. He had forgotten about the local contest in the rush of battling at the Battle Palace.
