"Show us what you got, Piplup!"

The penguin pokemon flew out and let out a beam of water.

It landed on the ground and gave two fingers in the shape of a 'V' to the camera.

"Now, use Bubble!"

Bubbles flew everywhere and began to make a shape.

"Icy Wind!"

Freezing air jetted from the Piplup's tiny wings and the bubbles half froze and floated into a more clear shape.

"Now Ice Beam!"

Piplup shot a beam of ice and the shape froze.

The bubble ringed around a plate of frozen water and it was in the shape of a heart.

The crowd oohed and aahed as they saw the shape come to life.

"Drill Peck!"

Piplup jumped to the top of the heart and drill downwards.

The heart cracked into half and fell on the floor, shattering into a million pieces.

Paul, that was for you.

"That was a truly excellent piece of art from our Dawn! What will the judges say this time?"

"Excellent! The use of the Icy Wind to flatten some bubbles was inspirational!" Nurse Joy exclaimed.

"Remarkable, Dawn! Remarkable!" Mr. Suzuki said pleasantly.

"You show great potential for… Forgive me, a rookie. I expect great performances from you, Dawn." Mr. Contesta said loudly.

Marina grinned, "Great job, Dawn! Now, the show must go on!"

And so the performances carried on.

"Now the judges must choose 8 people from all of the 52 participants! Let's give them 5 minutes for choosing!"

Gossiping broke out through the hall and the contestants shuffled nervously.

Drew flicked his hair, not betraying his inner feelings.

Am I going to be eliminated? Am I going to lose in my fifth contest in Pallet High?

May on the other hand was bouncing with excitement.

Even if I lost, I showed I got potential!

Dawn was biting through all her nails.

Oh my god! I cannot believe I screwed up at the Icy Wind part! It was supposed to make crystals instead of a mirror! … I hope no one noticed…

As the clock ticked down to its last seconds, Mr. Contesta stood up, "I got the winners."

The clock buzzed and he announced loudly, "The first of the eight coordinators is… May Maples!"

May beamed and walked up the stairs, standing on one of the eight circles on the stage.

"The next one is… Drew Hayden!"

Screams blew the stage as Drew smirked at his fans.

"The third best in the Appeals round will be, Kayla Robbins!" (This character is for my friend, Kayla Robbins!)

She smiled and blew a kiss to the audience.

She had light brunette hair that flowed down her shoulders and reached to the small of her back.

She had intelligent brown eyes and she was fingering a pokeball.

She walked next to May and smiled happily.

Mr. Contesta then said, "Now, Dawn Bluenight, lease come out! You are our fourth best!"

Dawn came out, shaky and smiling weakly.

She stood next to Drew and wiped her forehead.

After that, four more people came out.

There was Matt Todds.

He was a black haired boy with sharp purple eyes.

Then Jane Wyte.

She was a blond with green eyes.

Kyle Johnston came bounding up the stage next.

He had brunette hair with brown eyes.

Then Alexia Nixon came out.

May couldn't really figure out if Alexia was a boy or a girl.

He or she had long red hair with gold eyes.

But then Alexia had a masculine face with a feminine body.

May decided to call Alexia a shim.

O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O O.o o.O
