"Okay everyone, our contestants are getting ready!" Lilian announced. "Our performances will be done three at a time simultaneously so we can get through with all of them! We will have our three normal judges along with three other ones to place in groups of two for each of the three stages!"
Backstage, some of the coordinators looked even more nervous than usual.
A man, known as The Announcer, stepped into the changing room announcing the three contestants starting the performance and ushering the rest to move to the waiting room.
The room was filled with many benches facing the large screen airing the performances of the contestants onstage, so many coordinators took their seats while others spoke quietly with their Pokemon. The competitive air and the amount of coordinators in the room prevented any of them from socializing with one another.
"Next Green stage contestant please," the announcer poked his head through the door.
A girl wearing a light blue t-shirt with a Glaceon on it and dark blue shorts rose up and left out the door. Walking down the large hallway, she saw curtains up ahead.
"And now our next contestant on the Green stage its Winter Ice of Snowpoint city in the Sinnoh region!"
The curtains opened, causing the girl to straighten up, a determined look in her icy blue eyes as she pushed away some of her long brown hair, as if pushing away any thoughts of nervousness.
"Froslass, Jolteon let's go!" Winter called, tossing up two pokeballs in the air.
The spiky yellow dog materialized in mid air, somersaulting onto the ground. The ice/ghost type appeared after, giving a mysterious cold glare as it stood suspended.
"Ice shard, Froslass!"
The Snow Land pokemon put her hands together, forming a glass-like ball of ice.
"Toss it, then Jolteon use Thunderbolt!"
"What a bright ball of ice!" Lilian commented. "What is it going to be used for?"
Jumping, the electric Eeveelution discharged a bolt of electricity. Hitting the ball, it amplified the move, the electricity flying everywhere.
"Now shadow ball the two of you!" Winter continued.
"That was an amazing display of ice and electricity, and oh look! The two ghost type moves have merged into a larger one! They've collided with the electric sphere!" Lilian continued on.
The moves collided, sending out blue violet shards of ice everywhere. Jolteon didn't need a command as her fur stood on end, firing needles at each shard and crated a diamond dust in the air. The pokemon retreated next to their trainer as she waved, the crowd roaring.
As Winter left backstage, Lilian announced, "And now for our next contestant on the red stage its Sakuraba Ice from the mysterious Tree of Beginning here in the Kanto region."
A girl was on standby in the red trainer's box, her raven black hair up in a ponyta-tail that could be mistaken for pigtails if one stood in front of her. She had lavender eyes that matched her deep purple scarf with flames at the end and wore a yellow button up t-shirt, a stylish black vest over it with two yellow stripes at the bottom, along with two connecting chains by a bee broach. She had black shorts on, folded at the end and red boots with white striped folds, small chains wrapped around them.
"Glaceon and Espeon come out!" She called.
The ice and psychic Eeveelutions materialized next to one another, yelping rather cutely.
"Icy wind and psychic."
Taking a breath, the ice type blew out chilled air, little chinks of snow forming. It's purple eyes glowing, the Sun pokemon controlled the air, separating it into small, individual pieces of ice.
"What concentration!" The MC observed.
"Blizzard, Glaceon!"
A much stronger technique than that of icy wind, the cold wind morphed the individual pieces of ice into snowflakes, drifting until it dissipated away.
"A lovely performance!" Lilian cheered with the crowd. "Our contestants so far are turning up the heat...Er, cooling it I guess...
"In the blue stage its Matthew Nickleson of Kaforma town in the faraway Unova region!"
A guy with short brown hair that was gelled and brushed back smirked as the attention was now on him, his green eyes having a look of excitement. He wore a blue suit with a white frill stain shirt, ready to perform.
"Scolipede and Simisear!" He called.
The Megapede and Ember pokemon materialized, a strong determined look in their eyes.
"Start off with Toxic and Poison Sting!"
The poison type shot out an eerie deep purple blob, flinging high into the air then followed it with glowing purple needles.
"Such control over its poison typing," the host looked on with awe.
Passing the blob, the glowing needles now trailed the deep purple color. Losing momentum, they turned due to gravity and were heading straight for both Scolipede and Simisear. The crowd gasped, worried for them.
Matthew only smiled as he commanded, "Heat Wave, Simisear."
The fire type blew out red hot heat, different from the back to back ice performances. The needles were shot back up into the sky, the fire detonating them into a bright array of fireworks.
"Incredible!" Lilian began commenting before her voice was drowned out by the hyped up audience.
A/N: Well, sorry for a slight delay... I just got slightly picky choosing the right way to present the performances.
I apologize for any of the kind readers who sent me characters that may be disappointed when I changed a few things whether it is in look or performance. I hope this doesn't upset you, so pm me if you want my reason.
More appeals will be coming up and there are still spots for anyone who wishes to place a character.
No one will be knocked out in appeals, but fate can be a cruel thing in the battle competition as I will explain in later chapters.
Until the next chapter, review what you think of the performances so far! ^w^
