Hey. This is a fanfic that I wrote...golly...about five years ago. I'm a pretty big fan of the Academy Awards, and I decided to do an Oscar ceremony of sorts for the first season of Pokemon (from Pokemon, I Choose You to Pokeball Peril.) I came up with nominations and had people vote on them. After the winners were decided, I wrote this up, trying to come as close to what the actual ceremony is like. Even though the fic isn't directly about Misty, Misty does have a pretty big night. Hope you enjoy. 
Beware...it is a bit long...as you can tell from the fact it takes up 3 posts.
Note: Most of the names mentioned (for director, writers, and technical stuff) in this are real names, but since these awards are based on fictional stuff, the names are just randomly paired with certain episodes. As for costumes, just imagine it. Use the costumes in Go West Young Meowth as a guide.
The Poke is pronounced POK-EH, not POK-EY. It is shaped like a Golden Globe, only except for a globe on the top, there is a Pokeball instead.
All about the Nominees
Download the sound clips of the various episode excerpts.
A red carpet was rolled outside of the Cerulean City Gym. Crowds of cheering fans reached out to meet their favorite stars. Limousines lined the streets, where stars in gowns and tuxedos bask in their glory. Some receive shrieks of joy. Others were given the cold shoulder. As the camera pans around them, the Narrator gives the introduction.
Narrator: Live...from the Cerulean City Gym...it's the first annual Pokemon Academy Awards! (What Kind of Pokemon are you starts playing) Tonight we will see the best of the best of the Pokemon episodes! (The camera starts flashing around to different characters) Here is Ash, the hero of the series. Here we see Misty, nominated for three acting awards, signing autographs. This is the ever-popular Pikachu, nominated for his performance in Pikachu's Goodbye. We see Jigglypuff, who has four nominations, being interviewed by Tracey. (The camera goes into the gym, which is being used as a stage.) Now, let us welcome tonight's emcee, Professor Oak!
Professor Oak walks out. Everybody applauds.
Professor Oak: Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the first Pokemon Academy Awards, where we will be awarding awards of merit to deserving winners in various arts and science categories from the first season of Pokemon. (Applause) Ever since Pokemon debuted in early 1997, we've been dedicated to giving audiences enjoyment with every episode. Of course, not all episodes have been great, but that's not our problem. Blame the translators. (Laughter) Anyways, let us sit back and honor the episodes of Season 1.
The screen drops down. The lights turn dark. Clips of the episodes from first season Pokemon play in order while Pokemon music plays in the back. The titles of each of the 85 episodes are displayed as it is shown. None of the clips feature dialogue. After that, Nurse Joy (being the voice that always does the announcing) talks.
Nurse Joy: Please welcome the three Cerulean City sisters, Daisy, Lily, and Violet!
Music plays, while the Cerulean City sisters walked onto the stage.
Lily: Like, we're the BEAUTIFUL Cerulean City sisters.
Violet: Yeah, and we're here to announce the winner of the Best Costume Design award
Daisy: Which is our specialty.
They giggle and nod with agreement
Daisy: So anyways, here are the, like, nominees for the Best Costume Design award.
You know what the Oscars are like. They show scenes from the nominated film, or in this case, episode.
Lily: In Bad to the Bone, Yuji Egawa managed to, like, perfect the traditional Japanese costumes of Atoshi, and created the Indian costume of Jessie.
Violet: Like, yeah! In, like, Holy Matrimony, Shoichi Kurokawa faithfully recreated the costumes of the antebellum...like, what does that mean...South.
Daisy: For The Misty Mermaid...
Lily: Yay! That's, like, us!
Daisy: Yeah...right. For, like, The Misty Mermaid, the costume designer Masashi Yamamoto created the ballet costumes of Team Rocket, as well as the memorable mermaid costume.
Lily: In Pokemon Fashion Flash, Miki Kuribayashi created the costumes for, like, Ekans and Koffing as well as the costumes for Jessie and James.
Violet: Mitsuharu Yoshida's costumes in Pokemon Scent-Sation include the Store Manager costume and the inventive costumes of, like, Ashley's parents.
Lily: Like, I think we should win!
Violet: Shut up! We're not, like, supposed to show any bias.
Daisy: Anyways, the first ever Poke award goes to...
Lily: MASASHI YAMAMOTO FOR THE MISTY MERMAID!!!
The music plays while a scene from The Misty Mermaid plays.
Nurse Joy: This is the first nomination for Masashi Yamamoto.
Lily hands the award over to Masashi Yamamoto.
Masashi Yamamoto: (translated from Japanese) Well, gee...I'm actually quite surprised I won. Well, I'll keep this short. I'd like to thank I disagreeistants. I'd like to thank the director. I'd like to thank Misty and her sisters for being so willing to wear those costumes I made, and for tips of what sort of costumes they want. I want to thank the producers of the episode for hiring me, and my family for supporting me. And I'd like to thank the Academy for awarding me with this charming award. Thank you!
Applause
Nurse Joy: Now let us welcome the Fuschia City Gym leader, Koga!
Applause.
Koga: Good evening everyone. Sound is a very vital element in all of the Pokemon episodes. Without the use of sound, each Pokemon episode would be 25 minutes of silence. The nominees in the category of Best Sound all excel in their fields. They are: (scenes from episode show) Richard Q. King for The Case of the K-9 Caper. Gil Hova for Electric Shock Showdown. Talley Sherwood for Hypno's Naptime. Gary Chaser for Pikachu's Goodbye. David Fisher for The Song of Jigglypuff. (Applause) The Poke will go to...David Fisher for The Song of Jigglypuff! (Applause)
Music plays while a scene from The Song of Jigglypuff plays in the back.
Nurse Joy: This is the first Academy Award nomination for David Fisher.
Koga hands the award to David Fisher.
David Fisher: Wow. This is a wonderful experience. You know, I never expected to be up here with this...beautiful award...when Alfred Kahn called on me to do the sound for this episode. But I'd like to thank Al and Gail and Norman and Michael and all of my sound staff. I'd like to thank my family, my parents. Finally, I'd like to thank Jigglypuff for not being there so I don't have to wash my face! (Laughter) Thank you for this award!
Nurse Joy: Coming up later, Meowth and the award for Best Supporting Actress.
Commercial Break
Nurse Joy: Let us welcome the young and talented Best Supporting Actress nominee, Duplica of the House of Imit$B!&(B (Applause)
Duplica: Pikachu's Goodbye is a touching tale of the power of friendship, and the sacrifice of letting go of those you love. With a poignant script, a moving musical score, and brilliant acting, Pikachu's Goodbye is deservedly one of the nominees for Best Picture this year. Here's a scene from this outstanding episode.
The screen falls. The words "Pikachu's Goodbye" appear, and then a scene plays.
Professor Oak: That was such a charming episode! I think I cried when I first saw it. Of course, Gary just shrugged and said, 'Only a loser would give away his best Pokemon like that' and walked away. (Laughter) Anyways, let's welcome my grandson, Gary Oak!
Gary walks out!
Gary: Hey guys, it's great to be here! Of course, the writers don't want to be making loser jokes about Ash, so let's just get right into the award for Best Art Direction, which only a loser wouldn't know what it means. (Laughter) The nominees are (storyboard art and scenes from the episodes show) Eikichi Takahashi and set decorator Norihiro Yoshikuwa for their unique interior of the UFO set in the episode Clefairy Tales. Katsuyoshi Kanemura and set decorator Toshio Kobayashi turned a sprawling city into a garbage dump for Go West Young Meowth. For Mystery at the Lighthouse, Sanae Miyauchi and set decorator Kiyomi Kobara created the beautiful ocean landscape and the mysterious lighthouse. Masatoshi Muto and set decorator Etsuhito Mori created the terrain of lava and rocks in Volcanic Panic. Finally, Yasuyuki Inaba and set decorator Yasutoshi Kawai created the brilliant interior of the Cerulean City Gym in the episode The Water Flowers of Cerulean City. Okay...and the award goes to...Katsuyoshi Kanemura and production designer Toshio Kobayashi for Go West Young Meowth!
The winners embrace and as they go up, a scene from Go West Young Meowth plays.
Nurse Joy: This is the first nomination for both Katsuyoshi Kanemura and Toshio Kobayashi.
The awards are handed to the two.
Katsuyoshi Kanemura: (translated from Japanese) Thank you, Gary and the Academy for such a brilliant award! You know, when I first learned I got to turn Hollywood into a garbage dump, I was shocked and overjoyed at the same time. (Laughter) Of course, we didn't turn the real Hollywood into a garbage dump; otherwise we would have gotten in serious trouble. (More laughter) I'd like to thank my family and friends who supported me all these years, the director and the other staff members, and my partner!
Toshio Kobayashi: (translated from Japanese) I don't know what to say. I would like to thank the Academy for voting for this movie, as well as my family, my friends, my partner, and everybody who helped me get through this movie!
Applause. The people walk off the stage.
Nurse Joy: Let's welcome one of the few talking Pokemon and one of tonight's nominees, Meowth!
Applause.
Meowth: Thanks everybody for such a wonderful applause! I'm here to present the award for Best Supporting Actress. Before we see the winner, let's see who the nominees are! Duplica, for Ditto's Mysterious Mansion...
Meowth: Jigglypuff for Clefairy Tales...
Meowth: Misty for The Battling Eevee Brothers...
Meowth: Sabrina for Abra and the Psychic Showdown
Meowth: And Susie for Pokemon Fashion Flash!
Meowth: All right! Now the Poke goes to...Misty, for The Battling Eevee Brothers.
Misty jumps up with joy and shakes hands with other people as she goes down. A scene from The Battling Eevee Brothers plays.
Nurse Joy: Including her nominations for Best Actress, this is the third nomination for Misty.
Meowth gives Misty the award!
Misty: Ah! This certainly is a big load off of the good old back! I was almost certain I would lose to Duplica. (Laughter) I would like to thank the writers for giving me such a good part and allowing me to exact my revenge on Ash and Psyduck. (Laughter) I would also like to thank the director for doing such a good job directing. I would like to thank Mikey and his brothers for allowing us to stay in their mansion during filming, and I'd like to thank all the other nominees for being good competition! I'd like to thank the Academy for giving me this award. Finally, I'd like to say to my sisters, I have this and you don't! Ha! Thank you everybody!
They walk off the stage. Professor Oak gets on.
Professor Oak: I wouldn't want to know what it would like if Ash wins. (Laughter) Next we have the gym leader from Cinnabar Island, Blaine!
Applause. Blaine walks out.
Blaine: In Friends to the End, the Pokemon Theme highlights Ash's achievements and failures in the Pokemon League competition with its inspirational music and uplifting lyrics. Here to perform this song is its original singer, Jason Paige.
The curtains rise revealing Jason Paige with musicians behind him.
Nurse Joy: Now let us welcome the talented racer, Lara Laramie!
Applause.
Lara Laramie: Sound effects and sound go hand in hand. Without sound effects, there would be nothing for sound to work with. Without sound, there would be no way to get any of the sound effects onto the screen. Here are the five best examples of sound effects editing in an episode. (Each episode named features examples of the sound effects in that episode over its title.) Koji Fukushima for The Battle of the Badge. Daisuke Jinbo for Electric Shock Showdown. Masafumi Mima for Electric Soldier Porygon. Shinji Takano for The Ninja Poke-Showdown. And Mitzuki Ozoeki for Pokemon Emergency. The award goes to...Koji Fukishima for The Battle of the Badge!
As Fukushima walks down, a scene from The Battle of the Badge is played.
Nurse Joy: This is the first nomination for Koji Fukushima.
Lara Laramie gives the award to Koji Fukushima.
Koji Fukushima: (translated from Japanese) This is something I'm going to treasure, and this is also a night I'm going to treasure. It was actually very fun creating the sound effects for this episode. I'd like to thank my sound team for doing good enough for me to stand up here. I would also like to thank the director of the episode, Mr. Hidaka. I'd like to thank my friends and family for their support of my career. Now I'll have something to show for it! Thank you, Academy!
Applause. The people go off the stage. Professor Oak comes on.
Professor Oak: I never really understood the difference between Sound and Sound Effects. It's a good thing that emcees don't have to know it. (Laughter) Okay! To stay on schedule, let's hurry up and welcome Mt. Moon's Seymour the Scientist!
Applause.
Seymour: Ash's first Pokemon was a Caterpie. It came, it won battles, and it evolved. Like many other Pokemon, Butterfree fell in love. Of course, if it falls in love, then it would go away and might never return. Still, Ash makes the ultimate sacrifice in the Best Picture nominated episode, Bye Bye Butterfree!
The screen comes down. The words "Bye Bye Butterfree" appear and a scene plays.
Nurse Joy: Coming up, Team Rocket and Jigglypuff perform their songs, and the award for Best Supporting Actor.
Commercial Break
Nurse Joy: Please welcome Giselle and Joe of Pokemon Tech!
More applause.
Joe: Even though we don't really learn technology in our school, we're still glad to be able to present this technological award.
Giselle: Visual effects is technique that could work very well if used correctly. In these nominated five episodes, the technique of visual effects have been used with great precision!
Joe: The nominees are...
Giselle: Kazuo Hirada for creating the battle between the giant Pokemon in The Ancient Puzzle of Pokemopolis.
Joe: Noriyuki Ota for the effects of the electronic world the of the Porygon in Electric Soldier Porygon.

Ota receives congratulations from those around him as a scene from Electric Soldier Porygon plays.
Nurse Joy: This is the first Poke nomination for Noriyuki Ota.
Ota accepts the award from Giselle.
Noriyuki Ota: (translated from Japanese) Thank you Academy for actually considering this episode. You know, when I did the special effects for this episode, I never actually expected the seizures to happen. It was all an accident and my team and I would like to express my apologies for all of it. (Applause) But I would still like to thank everybody who supported me: my family, my friends, my team of technicians, et cetera. And thank you for this wonderful award!
Applause.
Nurse Joy: Please welcome Best Supporting Actor nominee, Richie!
Applause.
Richie: When Meowth fell in love with a significant other, it soon became his aspiration to become as human as possible and win the love of Meowsy. His song, Meowth's Song, expresses his wishes to be able to talk...just like a human.
The curtain rises with Meowth and musicians in the back. The scene from Go West Young Meowth plays on a screen in the background.
Professor Oak: I've heard rumors that you people think my jokes are tasteless and awful, but it's not my fault! I'm not the person who write them. If you really hate them, then write and complain to the person that actually wrote them. He lives at 12551 Rare Candy Dr., Saffron City 67121. But for now, let's welcome Bill, the Pokemaniac.
Applause.
Beware...it is a bit long...as you can tell from the fact it takes up 3 posts.

Brock: Heh. What can I say? I'm a great cook!

Ash: Huh? Huh?
Misty: Ash, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?
Brock: You don't look so good. Do you feel okay?
Ash: Never felt better! Everything's fine!
He quickly eats some food, but stares into space again. Misty and Brock look at each other. Later, Misty and Brock have already fallen asleep, but Ash continues to stare into the flames. He sees Pikachu alone, and the surrounded by other Pikachu. Flashbacks appear.

Jason Paige:Applause. The curtain falls.
I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was!
To catch them is my real test; to train them is my cause!
I will travel across the land, searching far and wide,
Each Pokemon to understand, the power that's inside!
Pokemon...Gotta catch 'em all!!
It's you and me...I know it's my destiny
Pokemon...Oh...you're my best friend, in a world we must defend.
Pokemon...Gotta catch 'em all!!
A heart so true! Our courage will pull us through!
You teach me and I'll teach you!
Pokemon!
Gotta Catch 'Em All!
Gotta Catch 'Em All!
POKE-MON! Yeah!
Every challenge along the way, with courage I will face
I will battle every day, to claim my rightful place
Come with me, the time is right! There's no better team!
Arm and arm we'll win the fight, it's always been our dream!
Pokemon...Gotta catch 'em all!!
It's you and me...I know it's my destiny
Pokemon...Oh...you're my best friend, in a world we must defend.

A heart so true! Our courage will pull us through!
You teach me and I'll teach you!
Pokemon!
Gotta Catch 'Em All!
Gotta Catch 'Em All!
POKE-MON! Yeah!
Nurse Joy: Now let us welcome the talented racer, Lara Laramie!
Applause.
Lara Laramie: Sound effects and sound go hand in hand. Without sound effects, there would be nothing for sound to work with. Without sound, there would be no way to get any of the sound effects onto the screen. Here are the five best examples of sound effects editing in an episode. (Each episode named features examples of the sound effects in that episode over its title.) Koji Fukushima for The Battle of the Badge. Daisuke Jinbo for Electric Shock Showdown. Masafumi Mima for Electric Soldier Porygon. Shinji Takano for The Ninja Poke-Showdown. And Mitzuki Ozoeki for Pokemon Emergency. The award goes to...Koji Fukishima for The Battle of the Badge!
As Fukushima walks down, a scene from The Battle of the Badge is played.
Nurse Joy: This is the first nomination for Koji Fukushima.
Lara Laramie gives the award to Koji Fukushima.
Koji Fukushima: (translated from Japanese) This is something I'm going to treasure, and this is also a night I'm going to treasure. It was actually very fun creating the sound effects for this episode. I'd like to thank my sound team for doing good enough for me to stand up here. I would also like to thank the director of the episode, Mr. Hidaka. I'd like to thank my friends and family for their support of my career. Now I'll have something to show for it! Thank you, Academy!
Applause. The people go off the stage. Professor Oak comes on.
Professor Oak: I never really understood the difference between Sound and Sound Effects. It's a good thing that emcees don't have to know it. (Laughter) Okay! To stay on schedule, let's hurry up and welcome Mt. Moon's Seymour the Scientist!
Applause.
Seymour: Ash's first Pokemon was a Caterpie. It came, it won battles, and it evolved. Like many other Pokemon, Butterfree fell in love. Of course, if it falls in love, then it would go away and might never return. Still, Ash makes the ultimate sacrifice in the Best Picture nominated episode, Bye Bye Butterfree!
The screen comes down. The words "Bye Bye Butterfree" appear and a scene plays.
Ash: I just don't understand it! My Butterfree's great! Why would any other Butterfree reject it? Butterfree, maybe you just have to show off your strength and let the others see how great you are! Show how powerful your Tackle is, or how you can use Stun Spore!Applause.
Misty: That's right, Butterfree! You've got to be assertive!
Butterfree: Free?
Misty: Love is all about attacking your opponent first! Get in a quick punch and surprise them, then while they're still weak, take the lead and you'll beat 'em hands down! Trust me! I know! That's the best way to win!
Brock: D'ja mean it?
Misty: Sure do! That's love!
Brock: Ah! I wish I'd known that sooner!
Ash: Let's give it another try!
Brock: Hold it!
Ash: Huh?
Brock: A new look might help!
Butterfree now has a scarf.
Butterfree: Freeeee...
Ash: Ah ha ha.
Misty: Yeah, that looks great!
Butterfree: Eeeee!
Nurse Joy: Coming up, Team Rocket and Jigglypuff perform their songs, and the award for Best Supporting Actor.

Nurse Joy: This is the first Poke nomination for Noriyuki Ota.
Ota accepts the award from Giselle.
Noriyuki Ota: (translated from Japanese) Thank you Academy for actually considering this episode. You know, when I did the special effects for this episode, I never actually expected the seizures to happen. It was all an accident and my team and I would like to express my apologies for all of it. (Applause) But I would still like to thank everybody who supported me: my family, my friends, my team of technicians, et cetera. And thank you for this wonderful award!
Applause.
Nurse Joy: Please welcome Best Supporting Actor nominee, Richie!
Applause.
Richie: When Meowth fell in love with a significant other, it soon became his aspiration to become as human as possible and win the love of Meowsy. His song, Meowth's Song, expresses his wishes to be able to talk...just like a human.
The curtain rises with Meowth and musicians in the back. The scene from Go West Young Meowth plays on a screen in the background.
Meowth:Applause. The curtain falls. Professor Oak comes on.
Under the evening sky with the moon high up above!
I learned to speak human, cause this cat's got puppy love!
I'll stand on two legs! Hold my head up high!
And she'll want me. Wait and see!
I'll write poetry and recite it myself!
For Meowsy.
Professor Oak: I've heard rumors that you people think my jokes are tasteless and awful, but it's not my fault! I'm not the person who write them. If you really hate them, then write and complain to the person that actually wrote them. He lives at 12551 Rare Candy Dr., Saffron City 67121. But for now, let's welcome Bill, the Pokemaniac.
Applause.
