Contest is: Open for Signups[/i] Number of Player Entrants:Location: Torrentia City Weather: Raining thanks to a Kyogre's Drizzle, see post for details. Prize/s: Wavecrest Ribbon , 10 Dark GemsWinner:Runner Up:The citizens of Torrentia gathered in the Deep Seas breeding Center as the storm above raged onwards. Becker and Aquafina gathered the water pokemon of the Breeding Center and loaded them in their underwater kennels as their assistant pokemon ushered people into their makeshift seats. Obsidian walked in front of the large crowd as the Coordinators gathered behind her to register for the contest. Clearing her throat, Obsidian put on a big smile as the cameras turned on. "Welcome to another exciting contest! For those tuning in, if you haven't seen the news, allow me to explain what is happening. The nearby town of Wavecrest, which was supposed to be the sight of our contest, has been flooded out by a Kyogre. I have been told that a trainer had said something offending about the legendary, and a Kyogre happened to be passing by, speculated to be visiting Becker. In its rage, Kyogre unleashed its Drizzle ability and began to rampage in the town, and everyone within a 25 mile radius is being affected by a giant storm." She reported as the crowd mumbled about the story. "Becker has assured us she will find a way to calm the Kyogre down, and has offered to let us use her Breeding Center as our Contest Arena and an emergency shelter until she can calm the beast. The contest will begin in just a few short moments as soon as the coordinators have finished signing up." She finished as the cameras turned off. With a sigh she looked around her, brows furrowing in worried lines as Kyogre's angry scream sounded. (OOC: Sign up as normal, Nurse Joy is going around with a portable computer.)

Gear rushed through the crowd of people cheerfully, seemingly oblivious to the storm raging outside. He fidgeted uncomfortably from foot to foot as the shoes he was wearing had gone completely unworn until today, much like the rest of his clothing for the contest. "Hi hi! Gear would like to sign up for the contest!" he told Nurse Joy once he found her, showing her his contest pass.

Abby walked in with an umbrella over her head, seemingly the only sensible one so far who entered the Center. She sighed a bit and shook the water off of it, closing it up and putting it in her bag. Immediately, she checked her guitar and made sure it didn't have anything wrong with it. With some kind of luck, not a single drop even touched her guitar. However, her hands trembled a bit as she gripped it.
The musician/coordinator was not nervous or cold, far from it. She was excited, so excited that she was shaking. She gave out a broad smile and immediately went over to Nurse Joy, showing her ticket saying that she was a coordinator. "Um... My name is Abby Holse and I want to enter the Contest..."
After a bit of registering, Abby relaxed a bit and went over to an empty bench, sending out Ivy, Missy, and Tyrone. All happened to be groomed and prepped, already knowing what they were supposed to do. She brought out a third just to see if she could psych out the others, making them wonder who she was really using.

"Well this just stinks. I was having fun at the beach party and that stupid Kyogre just HAD to ruin it with a pissy party." Said Ming-ming as she and her trainer walked into the arena to register for the Contest. Celeste squeezed the water out of her hair as she approached Nurse Joy.
"Hiya, it's me, Celeste. I wanted to enter this contest." She said as her fingers tangled in her hair. Rolling her eyes, Vulpina leapt up and flipped over, transforming herself into her trainer and then reaching past Pendra to fish out the Contest Pass.
"Here is our pass." Said the Zorua, imitating her trainers voice. Nurse Joy smiled and took the pass, registering Celeste's information and then handing it back.
"You are all ready to go." She said happily before moving to the next coordinator. Celeste nodded and walked into one of the back rooms to wait for her turn and began to groom her pokemon.
She did not have to wait long, for soon Obsidian came back to the center of the room and twirled around, smiling at the cameras.
"And we're back with the contest about to be underway! I`m your EmCee, Obsidian! Now I'd like to introduce you to a few people. Due to the flood above, our normal judges couldn't all be here, but thanks to the city and Becker, we have replacement, Celebrity Judges! First, Torrentia's own Nurse Joy!" She said, pointing to a podium that was lit up by a spotlight revealing the cheery woman.
"It's good to see everyone is safe, let's try to take our minds off the chaos above!" She chriped, nodding.
"And our first Celebrity Judge, Torrentia Gym Leader Aquafina!" She said as another spotlight lit up the podium next to Nurse Joy, showing the amethyst-haired woman as she waved, her Floatzel right beside her.
"My forte is Traditional Battling, but its good to try something new every once in awhile. My cousin Fantina likes contests, so I may as well give it a shot. Good luck coordinators!" She said with a headbob. Obsidian practically vibrated where she stood as she excitedly grabbed her mike.
"And now, our final Celebrity Judge, courtesy of Becker, the Master of Water pokemon, let's all give a hand to Palkia, Creator and Master of Space!" She said as lights outside of the domed center turned on, revealing the huge, pink and white dragon. It wore a large, dark collar and tapped on the dome with a claw.
"Becker gave me a call through her water crystal, and she asked me to keep an eye on you guys while she takes care of the Kyogre. I hope you all enjoy yourselves, and don't be intimidated by me, I am fair." It said in a booming voice that could be heard even through the glass. With wild cheers, the crowd was ready for what was surely the best contest of the year, and Obsidian bounced in excitement.
"And with that, let's geeeeeet busy!" She said, looking at her list to see who was first.

"Alright!" Gear said cheerfully as he waited for his turn to begin. In the mean time, he focused on helping Cammie, who had somehow ended up on her back and was kicking her stubby legs in the air as she tried to get up.

Celeste gulped as she strode into the center of the large dome. She bowed respectfully to the judges, giving an extra low bow to the deity before her, and grabbed two pokeballs, tossing them into the air.
"Nuna, Pendra, it's showtime!" She cried as her pokemon emerged from a shower of rainbow sparks. The two headed towards the ground and Celeste jumped right into her appeal.
"Nuna, use Leaf Storm! Pendra, Rollout!" She commanded. Her Treecko cried out as she summoned a barrage of leaves and aimed them towards the ground, creating a sea of glowing green. Pendra curled up and landed on the leaves, floating on top while Nuna jumped on top, riding the rotating venipede as she moved. Manipulating her Leaf Storm, Nuna created various waves and continued her pokesurfing while Pendra floated up and down on the leafy wave, earning a cheer from the crowd.
"Finish it up!" Celeste cried after awhile. Pendra leapt up as Nuna redirected her Leaf Storm, letting go when it was high enough and allowed it to fall. Pendra uncurled and glared at the falling leaves, her pincers glowing bright purple.
"Poison Sting!" Celeste cried, and Pendra let loose an immense stream of stingers, causing the leaf storm to explode in a shower of purple and green sparkles. Their routine done, Celeste and her pokemon bowed to the crowd and retreated to the back to wait for their results.

Cassie broke away from her friends when she heard her name. She still hadn't thought of what to do. That meant she had to wing it. when she got on stage she grabbed two balls randomly from her belt. "Let's show them what you're made of."
In a shower of sparks Mirage and Scorch took the stage. Mirage giggled in delight with the surprise of being on stage. Scorch blinked at the bright lights. Cassie's only sign of nervousness was a slight biting of her lip.
"Okay let's get started. Mirage Aurasphere. Scorch use Ember on the Aurasphere." Mirage did a few frontward flips in the air and tossed her Aurasphere in the air. Scorch inhaled deeply and sent up his Ember attack to collide with the Spinning blue sphere.
The result was a spinning ball of flames. Cassie nodded, this was good. The ball started to descend on top of Scorch. Mirage hovered next to Scorch both keeping an eye on the flaming ball. "Scorch Metal Claw right... Now!" Mirage picked up the Charmander and tossed him high. With his glowing claws Scorch slashed at the ball slicing it into harmless little embers that drifted down around them.
Scorch started to fall looking a little panicked. Mirage flew under him and caught him on her back. The grinned at each other and drifted back to Cassie to take their bows.

"Hooray!" Gear cheered happily, clapping like mad for the other coordinators as they made their appeals. Before he realized it, it was his turn to perform and he gleefully leaped out of his seat and ran onto the stage. He bowed to the judges and grabbed his two pokeballs before tossing them in the air.
"Snippy, Cammie, let's go!" he said cheerfully as the poke balls opened to reveal his Trapinch and Numel, both of whom were accompanied by blasts of blue and red confetti. "Snippy! Use Sandstorm! Then use Flame Burst Cammie!" Gear instructed, not wanting to waste any time getting into his appeal.
At the command, Snippy began rotating in midair and releasing sand from his mouth in a seemingly random display while Cammie copied his rotation and began spitting flames from her mouth at the sand all around her. By the time they were done, only Cammie hit the ground. Snippy had instead landed on one of the petals of a large glass flower Cammie's flames had made, while the Numel herself was standing inside the flower. "Clear the way for Lava Plume Snippy!" Gear said as the Trapinch leapt off the flower while Cammie began shooting lava from her hump. As the lava spread throughout the flower, it began to glow first a dull red, than a bright crimson until it was a nearly blinding scarlet color by the time Cammie was out of lava. Unable to contain the lava build up any longer, the flower exploded into a bright red smoke cloud. When the smoke cleared, it revealed Cammie standing in the wreckage of her creation and attempting to bow along with Snippy and Gear, but only ended up tripping on her front legs.

Abby was intimidated initially by the Palkia, and not just any Palkia, but THE Palkia. She couldn’t believe that someone like that could actually, or would actually, judge a contest! Now her excitement was on overload and she giggled in anticipation. She felt like a little girl again, when she played in front of huge audience with her guitar. But now, she was directing, a whole new thing to her. Luckily though, she had been training for quite awhile now along with her Pokemon and she thought they had it down.
With a quick throw in the air, she let loose two of her Pokeballs, both bursting with sparkles that rained down slowly. As they descended, Missy and Ivy both were kneeling with one knee on the ground, heads down too. Both heads suddenly popped up, big smiles on each of their faces. Each of the Pokemon stood up and looked at the crowd for a second.
"Hey, I'm Missy!" shouted Missy, putting a thumb to her chest.
"And I'm Ivy!" shouted Ivy after, repeating Missy's actions.
Missy and Ivy then started to walk away from each other, going to both sides of the Center. As Ivy started to form some Energy Balls, juggling them with her hands, Missy talked to the crowd. "Now, some of this may get dangerous for Abby, our Coordinator, but we have trained for this for quite a bit, so please, do not try this at home, haha! Energy Balls are not always your friends!"
As soon as Missy finished, she turned her head around, watching as Ivy suddenly threw a bunch of Energy balls straight at Missy. Without moving, Missy got her tail ready and as soon as the Energy Balls started to come, she used her Tail Whip to send them flying high into the air, making a large green arch of Energy Balls.
After 15 Energy Balls were thrown into the air, Missy kept juggling them using her Tail Whip move. It was hard work and it showed on her face but Ivy talked to the crowd as she climbed up the walls higher and higher. "Alright, with the amazing skills of Missy's Tail Whip here, this is where it starts to get dangerous!"
Right then, Abby walked behind Missy and smiled, her upper body only shown through the ring. Missy looked behind her at Ivy, in which Ivy nodded back, getting as high as she could, a slight wind being seen around her. With a bit more effort, Missy launched the balls higher up.
The floated up there for only a moment but that's all Ivy needed. Immediately Ivy jumped from her small platform and was above the Energy Balls... which encircled around Abby. Missy, done with her part, climbed up on Abby and stood beside her, waiting for Ivy to finish.
Finally Ivy unleashed a Razor Wind upon the Energy Balls, slicing through them, making a small shower of green sparkles for each one that exploded. However, each Razor Wind kept going down, creating a small ring of glowing white Razor Winds around Missy and Abby, just close enough to have some room.
Ivy then landed on Abby's arms, which she had raised in the air, and jumped off them on the ground beside Abby, opposite of Missy. With a shout of triumph, they all thrust their fists in the air.
"I'm Missy!"
"I'm Ivy!"
"And I am Abby!"
They all then smiled in unison. "And we like to win it big!" With a cheer from the crowd, they all bowed and moved through the Razor Wind slices, excited at their success.

The monitor in the holding room flashed competitor by competitor, displaying the increasing number of stunning performances. Aidan watched them all with great interest, cheering heartily for all his opponents, but perhaps just a little more for his friends Cassie and Abby. Abby's debut had been great, and Aidan was pleased to see Cassie had finally let Mirage perform. She had been so adamant about the risk of using her legendary, to the point it had worried him too. Aidan smiled to himself, recalling the one-sided (for the most part) conversation he had with Maya earlier.
*** "So, are you ok with this? Performing in a contest?"
The Suicune cocked her head, looking at her trainer curiously.
"I mean, what Cassie has always been saying makes sense! What if I'm putting you in more danger then you've already been in? I hated seeing you and all those other Suicune being abducted by Team Necro... That was horrible..."
Maya made a growling sound much like a purr as Aidan's voice trailed off. Padding close to him, she nudged her muzzle into one of his clenched fists, and he laughed in response. He sat, and Maya placed her head in his lap, gazing up at him with her large eyes expectantly.
"Heh, I guess you're right. Living cautiously really isn't living at all, is it?" There was a growl of agreement. "And as long as we've got each others backs nothing will go wrong!" ***
The sound of his own name brought Aidan back to the present. Showtime. He stood, brushing himself off quickly and running a hand through his hair. For the first time, he wasn't too nervous prior to the start of one of these things. He was oddly content with himself. He attributed the calmness with his change of heart. He was here to show off the pokemon he loved dearly, win or lose, because he was satisfied by the fact they were simply there together.
The roar of the audience as he stepped into the dome's center was music to the coordinator's ears. With a half smile Aidan lofted two pokeballs into the air, and gave a slight bow in recognition of the crowd.
There was a flash of stormy blue as the seals activated, as blue lightning and glowing yellow stars rained down upon the stage. Maya landed gracefully among the bolts with a croon, and a the slightest glance backwards at Aidan. He nodded, and she began to race forward, striking the falling stars with a carefully aimed stream of bubbles.
Enki squeaked in glee as he rode one of the descending stars, giving the crowd a bit of a wink. Then his star too erupted into a shower of golden sparkles by a bubble, and he began to fall, landing with a plop atop Maya's crest.
"Time to focus!"
At Aidan's words Enki began to glow, using Harden to ensure he would be able to withstand the attack to follow. The move's silver glow reflected about the falling stardust, casting a pleasantly faint glow about the dome.
"And strike!"
Maya whipped her head forward, launching Enki like a stunning silver bullet. He went flying into the air, and then spiraled down in descent, using Rock Smash as he collided into the floor. The ground shot up in response, large, flat stones surrounding the still-spinning Seedot.
Maya now took it upon herself to leap upon the nearest stone, leaping fluidly to the next and the next, her streamers fluttering behind her as she shot more sparkling bubbles into the air.
As Enki's motion began to cease he blinked, and took hold of his surroundings. The ground closest to him had small, pointed stones sticking up from it, and he began to jump about them, using Rock Smash to create small daggers that he immediately kicked up into the sky with precision. The stones collided only with the bubbles, the spheres bursting into sparkles.
Slowly, both Maya and Enki worked faster and faster till the Suicune was running rapidly about the stone formation and Enki was exploded bubbles as soon as the wafted into the air. When the air was all but completely shining, Maya took a delicate leap into the air, landing on a stone opposite Enki, catapulting the much smaller pokemon skywards. The Seedot landed on the Suicune's head with a cry of delight.
"Thank you ladies and gents! It's been a pleasure!"
Pokemon Used: Maya (Suicune) Enki (Seedot)

After Gear's appeal the audience screamed as the lava flowed, and Obsidian stepped back. From behind the dome, Palkia roared as he watched, his shoulder gems glowing with his power. His eyes glowed and the space around the arena became distorted, the ground opening under the lava and the red fiery liquid disappeared before it could spread out further. With a wave of his claw, the space around the arena finally stabilized and Palkia glared at the lad.
"That was extremely irresponsible of you! You endangered everyone onstage, audience, coordinator, and staff alike. As judge of this contest, you are hereby disqualified from the competition and all contests until you can create appeals that will not drastically endanger the lives of everyone around you." Said the deity while his fellow judges nodded from their posts, too shocked to say anything. Checking the stage cautiously in case any lava slipped through Palkia's powers, Obsidian nervously crept back onto stage and cleared her throat, calling for the rest of the competitors. Soon, all coordinators had made their appeals, thankfully with no more dangerous consequences, and Obsidian raised her hands.
"Well, that was an interesting competition. Let's all give a hand to Palkia for clearing the stage after that fiery performance." She said, clapping softly for the legend who merely nodded in acknowledgement. With a nod, Obsidian turned back to the audience with a cheerful look plastered on her face.
"Now, all the coordinators have presented their appeals, and the judges will now decide who moves on to the second stage. Gear has already been eliminated due to negligence with his appeal, but that doesn't mean the competition is over! We`ll be back in a few minutes with the result of our judging, so sit back, relax, and we`ll have the results up before you know it!" Said the Emcee as she trotted over to the Judges to oversee their decision. From the backroom, Celeste watched Gear with a slightly sad look as Palkia's voice boomed his disqualification.

Cassie whistled, very impressed at the legendary's power. She looked over at her playful Mew who was still in a good mood about their performance. "I'm glad that our performance didn't make him mad."
Mirage nodded and hugged her. "Now to see how we did."

With a nod, Obsidian danced her way back to the center stage, signaling the cameramen that she had the results. She took a breath as the contest came back on the air and smiled.
"And the judges have made their decision! These lucky eight coordinators will make it on to the battle round!" She said, pointing up to the screen as eight pictures showed up. Celeste watched with wide eyes as she saw her picture show up fourth, while a picture of Aidan showed up just after her. With a smile, Obsidian went over the procedure of battle and the final rounds commenced. Both coordinators put up a strong front, and in no time at all Celeste and Aidan found themselves on the opposite sides of the battlefield, ready to start.
"With five minutes on the clock, begin!" Obsidian cried and Celeste took two pokeballs from her belt, throwing them up into the air.
"Vulpina! Reso! It's showtime!" She cried as the pokemon emerged from streaming blue ribbons, ready to battle. Vulpina the Zorua growled while Reso the Ralts stood his ground, ready to protect his partner.
Vulpina: 22/22 Reso: 20/20

Aidan cheered internally when his saw his face on the big screen, kneeling down to hug both Maya and Enki affectionately. "You two did beautifully," he cooed.
Battle after battle passed and soon Aidan found himself once again in the final round of a contest. He couldn't believe his luck!
No, He corrected his thoughts.Not luck! He had worked hard to get to where he was, and he and his pokemon deserved to be standing on the final stage, facing a worthy opponent.
"G'luck!" Aidan called out to the girl, who wasted no time in getting straight to business. Following suit, Aidan released his own two pokemon and with a flash of white and confetti Meri and Pyrrhus took the stage.
"Heat them up guys!"
"Wott!" Meri obliged immediately, leaping to Pyrrhus's back and somersaulting off as she focused Scald's stream in Vulpina's direction. Pyrrhus's eyes and spots began to glow a faint red as he sent an even hotter Ember Reso's way.
[RESULT: 8] [RESULT: 6]
Meri: 22/22 Pyrrhus: 33/33 Vulpina: 14/22 Reso: 14/20
