As he made his way through Gustella, Gear found a location set up for a contest. Cheerfully rushing forward to the sign-up desk, he decided to take part in the contest. Once he was done with that, he went off to plan his appeal for the contest.

(I'd like to request to post my appeal last)

Jayne, noticing the stand for signups, grinned. Followed closely by Winry, Maes on his shoulder, the beginning coordinator put his name down to take part in the Memorial Day Contest. Then, he moved away, already planning his appeal.

Oddly enough, Vero was alone when he walked up to the counter to register for the contest, all smiles with a devious glint in his eye as usual. "Here to register, sweety! Did ya miss me?"

Soon it was time to begin, and Obsidian danced onto the stage to get everything going.

"Welcome one and all to this very special contest! I am your host, Obsidian, let's meet our judges! First, the Chairman of the Contest Association, Mr. Contesta!" She said, introducing the man as the spotlight revealed him.

"Welcome! I hope to see some very impressive appeals today." He said warmly.

"And Gustella Town's own Nurse Joy!" The red-haired pokemon doctor was next to be revealed.

"Howdy to all of you. It'a good to be apart of this again." She said with a slight country accent.

"And Mr. Sukizo!" Obsidian finished as the short, somewhat absentminded man was revealed.

"This contest is going to be Remarkable!" He said. Everyone chuckled as Obsidian danced about the stage.

"And now, let's bring out our first contestants!" She finished as the first coordinator arrived.

Aidan stumbled in behind stage, breathing heavily and listening to the announcer on stage. He'd been late getting here and the people at the sign up desk had almost not allowed him to join. But it was his first competition; he wasn't going to miss this chance for the world. He shifted from foot to foot, straightening his competition clothes.

At his hip sat Jove and Anthea, primmed and ready to give it their all; it seemed like there were quite a few challenging coordinators involved in this. Since he was late coming, he would go last...

... or so he assumed. Suddenly he found himself shoved out on to the stage, underneath the lights and in front of the roar of the crowd. He flushed darkly, confused and a little lost; but it was time to just go with the flow. Sucking a deep breath, he reached to his belt and plucked Jove and Anthea's pokeballs. Making them large, he bounced them between his hands for a moment before releasing them one at a time

Anthea appeared first, bursting from her pokeball in a flurry of soft, white flowers. They fluttered down past her and she stood demurely, palms to her chest and almond shaped eyes closed. Jove's own entrance was in a crack of thunder, complete with a stomping of his tiny body. He was the strength and she was the grace.

"Just like we rehearsed, guys,"he said softly, feeling his palms sweat.

The two nodded and slowly, Anthea lowered herself, allowing Jove to hop onto her back. From there, she used DoubleTeam, leaving after images of she and Jove in her wake. They spiraled out into a huge circle, taking up the offered room on the stage. In the center was a large, empty space and that was went Jove used Ancient Power.

Massive boulders flew up in the air, seemingly from every after image when in reality, it was only the speed of moving from point A to point B. The rocks soared high into the air, compacting with each other in a series of loud, thundering thumps. Below, Anthea slowed her Double Team to a stop and used Confusion.

She tightened the rocks together until they shattered into a tumbling rain of sparkles. Their short appeal finished, they make their exit quickly.

The first appeal had been, impressive, in Jayne's mind, and he wondered how he could compare to it. Still, he would do his best to try and earn that ribbon! Nodding to himself, he reached down to the Pokéballs at his hips, before taking a deep breath. He has washed Winry just earlier today, and Maes had also been willing to be groomed while they waited for the signups to close. They were ready, and would do their best. 'Right. Time to shine,' he thought, stepping up and onto the stage. "Winry, Maes, let's get this started!" he called, tossing their Pokéballs high into the air. Winry landed on the ground first, Maes touching down on her back with little problem. Jayne grinned, glad that had worked. They hadn't had much time to practice, but they'd do their best to make this one phenomenal performance. "All right! Maes, jump off Winry and do a flip, using Thundershock to create an arc as you go! Winry, the second Maes is off you, get moving towards the other end of the stage!" The two Pokémon reacted instantly, Maes doing a backflip high off his partner, the electricity from his Thundershock following his movements in a controlled arc. The lightning crackled as it moved, Maes pulling himself into a rapid spin so the electricity followed him quickly, almost whipping around as he moved. Winry had moved to the other end of the stage, awaiting her trainer's next command silently. Once Maes hit the ground, the last of the electricity fading, it came.

"All right! Maes, run towards Winry with Thunderpunch. Once he reaches you Winry, use Heavy Slam to counter it!" The pair reacted quickly, the small electric type's right arm beginning to glow yellow, the lightning coating his fist easily. Winry waited, silently, as her partner ran at her. Once he was close enough, she moved suddenly, throwing her body at the Pichu in retaliation. The two attacks collided, and the two Pokémon were caught in the backlash. Both flipped easily, managing to land on their feet. This put them at an advantage, as they didn't need to waste time regaining their balance. "All right. Maes, Thunderpunch again, towards the roof! Send that electricity flying while running across the stage! Winry, you know what to do!" Maes reacted quickly, beginning to rapidly punch upwards as he started moving towards Winry, electricity flying from his fists. At the same time, Winry began to run at her partner in a rapid Tackle, but the Pichu jumped just as she reached him, never breaking stride even as he moved over her. Once the pair reached the opposite sides of the stage, they paused, before turning to the audience and bowing. Jayne bowed too, before he recalled his Pokémon and left the stage.

Gear walked out onto the stage cheerfully, gripping two Pokeballs in his hand as he did. Bowing to the crowd before starting his appeal, he tossed both Pokeballs into the air, releasing Nemo and his new Eevee Cube in a shower of confetti. “Alright! Nemo! Cube! Let’s get started!” Gear said as both Pokemon landed in front of him.

“Nemo! Start off by using Bubble!” Gear commanded eagerly as the Squirtle began to spit out bubbles all around the stadium. “Now Cube! Use Winter Rush!”

“Eev eev eev eev!” the white Eevee shouted happily as he leaped into the air and coated himself in a layer of snow that propelled him forward. As he soared through the air, he made sure to tap each of the water bubbles that he passed, instantly freezing them into ice spheres as he jumped off them. Below, Nemo was running about and positioning himself under each sphere of ice to catch them before they crashed.

“Now Nemo! Tail Whip!” Gear encouraged as Nemo tossed the spheres into the air and began juggling them with his tail, knocking each of them back up as it came within reach. Up above, Cube decided to take his own part in the game by hopping on each of the spheres as they came under him, newly freezing each one to prevent them from melting.

“Finish it up Nemo! Bubble again!” Gear called as Nemo drew in a large breath and shot off even more bubbles to shatter each of the ice spheres in mid-air, leaving what little was left to sparkle down gracefully, the sun light reflected by each falling piece of ice to create a sparkling effect.

Crap crap crap! He was late! LATE! Screw the rest of his makeup, he needed to go out there NOW! He was off schedule, and even worse, his fans were missing another extravagant appeal! Vero threw his kimono on last second and hurried onto the stage, wobbling out onto the stage a little haphazardly and definitely not prepared for this, a large fan covering his face.. Minor flaws, but flaws all the less. After situating his 'dress', the fan suddenly flipped closed, two pokeballs being thrown onto the floor and exploding into cherry blossoms as a Snivy and Sableye appeared, twirling and bowing before the crowd. Vero's face was also revealed to the crowd, his make-up completely white with gray and black lining his eyes. ..And then there was the lipstick. He was... dressed as a geisha? Seemed he was, and the make up was actually good for being rushed. What, did he miss that ONE little speck under the eye or something?

At any rate, the show needed to go on. Vero snapped open the fan again and waved Gypsy and Quantez off, the two pokemon hopping away and taking their places. "Let's go! Gypsy-san, you first!" Vero called, now using words to further authenticate a... Japanese? feel to his performance. The Snivy huffed and closed her eyes, slowly beginning to spin in a circle as she worked up more and more dark reddish leaves, different colors shimmering throughout them. "Good job doll! Remember the formation!" the coordinator jived, smiling and dancing with his fan as what looked like thousands of leaves gathered and formed a long, four-legged creature, a shimmering mane forming around it's neck as the Magical Leaf finally stopped. There stood a thin, huge eastern dragon, head waving back and forth and covered in a slightly pulsing glow as Gypsy concentrated on making the creature walk around in a large circle.

"Now, Quantez-san~ time for your amazing Night Shade!" The Sableye tilted his head back and gave a manic laugh, needing to release his energy somehow before waving his hands and manipulating a ball of darkness between them. Ah, he'd done this routine so many times now. Bigger and bigger the black mass grew until he threw it out onto the battlefield, his hands still glowing as he manipulated Night Shade from afar. Eventually a big, western dragon stretched its wings and began stalking around Gypsy's creation, the two making circles. Vero squeed and jumped around like a little school girl, flapping his fan before instructing his pokemon once more. "Now, dance my loves! Dance!"

And so the two masses began to spar, the dragon of leaves weaving in and around the other dark beast as he snapped and flailed about, trying to apparently eliminate his enemy. They continued their dance for a few more moments before Vero clopped his sandals on the stage floor and drew his fan high. "Let's start the beginning of the end! Gypsy, Grass Pledge!" The little snake was sweating, but obeyed, the Magical Leaf dragon opening his maw before a column of sharp green leaves shot out, hitting the Night Shade dragon. Quantez jittered about and, remembering his part, manipulated the dark dragon to shoot a dark constant blob of the matter at the other dragon. The two began to separate, leaves and masses falling to the ground before Vero called out the final attack.

"Foresight!" And so it was, a bright blue light floating around Quantez before it surrounded the two pretend beasts and imploded, leaves and the darkness falling and fading away as the mythical creatures duked it out until the end. Vero threw his fan into the crowd and bowed, picking up both pokemon and snuggling them as they waved and left the scene.
