Item questing: Headband 3/10 posts Area Specific Item: Green Scarf 7/10 [Reduced from 20 by Shade's Pickup ability] posts
Vivillon started off strong, but Trey and Shade were quick to lash back. Shade shuffled across the stage, before a faint aura glowed around it, and pulsing, eerie rings radiated from its eye. The pokemon stared out to the audience, then turned towards its opponent, and Vivillon stiffened in response. After a second, the winged pokemon gave a shudder, a squeak, and... promptly turned to flee, running into one of the side boards. Shade blinked and the move stopped, and it gave a trilling little call, as if to apologize. Still, the damage was done; the tables were very quickly turned.
The audience seemed a little uneasy after Shade's move, but things quickly began to ramp up from there, and by the time Shade was disappearing, and popping up behind Vivillon, the crowd was cheering and enjoying the show. Shade even got a bonus for cleverly tricking the audience with its misdirection, boosting its and Trey's score immensely. As the Performance Round wrapped up, however, Vivillon's owner -- who's name, honestly, Trey had somewhat intentionally forgotten -- turned towards the teen. "Young man, how would you feel about.... battling for victory in this competition?" he proposed coolly.

Trey eyed the guy out of the corner of his gaze, before looking over to the edge of the stage, where the stairs lead down, and JR stood, arms crossed over his chest. He looked back at the man once he was sure he was looking, and signed a response. JR spoke up. "He said sure," he translated, his bored tone giving away how little he cared. The teen shot him an annoyed look, and the man chuckled. "Don't worry. And, thank you. I look forward to seeing your.... little chap, in battle," he remarked, turning a fond, amused glance to Shade, who peered curiously back up at him, from the safe distance of Trey's heel.
The two participants moved to either end, and readied themselves. Trevor had never.... done an official contest battle like this, though he'd done a few mock ones in the past. Suddenly, all the nerves from before came rushing back, and he braced himself, hoping that Shade was as smart as this contest made him look, and that he could catch on to what needed to be done.

Even when they had given it their all, Naomi still found it hard to believe that they won and stood still long after the judges had announced the winners. Jingū, on the other hand, exploded into a fit of excitement and higher pitched squeals before she zipped over to the rest of her teammates, who greeted her with congratulatory's and a general sense of awe; it lay unspoken that most hadn't expected her to win, or pull off the stunt she had. Beaming with pride, she grew still just long enough to receive their praise before she tackled Mori, who had become a favorite of hers.
Naomi watched his pokemon interact, and while pleased that Jingu was so happy, and that her victory was remaining so well-received between the others, he remained rooted to the spot. It took Austin approaching, with his pokemon in tow, to break the boy of his statue mimic and with a soft laugh he nodded his head. "Thank you very much, Austin." In with his humble acceptance of praise, the Ransei native dipped into a short bow, in which he recovered from quickly enough. "I will. The next time I see him," he promised. "Will you be staying much longer? We did not get to spend very much time together last night. We could amend that now, if you do not have any more pressing matters to attend to."

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Susan, the Gardevoir
"You're very welcome, Naomi," Austin had replied. He met his pupil's bow with his own in a sign of solidarity, and Susan, unsure of the purpose of the custom, did the same thing, if only to copy her trainer. Only Riptide seemed to show any sort of contempt for losing, glaring at the victorious Jingu. Sensing the little shark getting angrier, Austin quickly returned Riptide.
He wasn't sure what he was going to do now. Head back to the room and change, or maybe just find some more competitors. Or maybe... "Oh? You'd like to..." Why Austin didn't think about the possibility of spending time with Naomi, he had no clue. But once his pupil had entertained the notion, Austin felt himself about to blush. Luckily, he kept that facial redness down and locked away, but he still ended up with a cheery smile. "Well, I could hardly say no to a champ-in-the-making, now could I?" He laughed softly, and joined Naomi for some company.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After chatting for a good amount of time, Austin and Naomi ended up at a nice outdoor cafe near the main HQ. "Let's get some lunch, on me, of course, " Austin said. He got them a table, and ordered himself some tea and a Caesar Salad. "And please, treat yourself to whatever you wish, Naomi," he offered. Alright. This isn't a date. You're just having a nice lunch. With a guy you like. You like way too much. You just met the guy, for crying out loud! Stupid Naomi. Stupid, cute Naomi. Susan was reading his thoughts, as she was wont to do, and went wide-eyed at the prospect of her alpha liking who she considered to be a beta.
Wow! So, you like Beta, huh? I do too! Austin flinched a tad, but quickly recovered. "Y-yes, I like Naomi. He's a good student, definitely. He shot a color=dodgerblue]Shut up! at Susan from his mind, and she quickly obeyed her Alpha,and went back to eating her complimentary Pokemon food.

Kaiser gave a nonchalant bleep in response and Sebastian gave an uneasy smile. He wasn’t entirely certain if the Mareep was onboard or not, but he wouldn’t know for sure until they tried. The first thing he needed to do was adjust the pokemon’s moveset. He’d need to do the same for Blackjack too if he was going to have him in contests as well. Pulling out his pokedex again, he began to sort through his options. Kaiser would be for tough and Blackjack for… smart. So, he needed to adjust accordingly.
Kaiser was already leaning towards the tough side with his moves and so Sebastian gave him the dream gem he had to add one more to his arsenal to be on the save side. As for Blackjack, he had to expend a little more resource wise. Which was fine, he certainly had enough of them. A TM, mushroom, and a ball swap later and the Houndoom was sporting a set that made him fit for intelligence challenges.

With move sets re-evaluated (and a minor sheepish realization that he’d completely gone against his original intentions for Blackjack somehow), Sebastian carried on to the next order of business. Move sets were right; now he needed to start making poffins to give his pokemon a little edge. It was a shame that he’d had to chase Rummy down; he would’ve enjoyed making a few more poffins with Trey and get a few more tips. Still though, he’d paid attention from the first batch and he still had his books to fall back on if he was uncertain.
So, he set about the task, pulling out said books and beginning to figure out what combos would give the most bang for his buck. He wanted to make two poffins; one for Kaiser and the other for Blackjack. Luckily, he had some zillion berries to choose from and was able to compile combinations that would work rather well. He took his time, cutting them up, mixing up the dough and adding the ingredients together and semi-dumping then into the cooking tin and into the oven. By the time they were done cooking they looked… edible? Kind of lumpy and a little flat. That was… saddening, nothing like what he’d had help making earlier. He set them down to cool, poking them lightly.
Well… so long as they got the deed done he’d be alright with it but still, it was just a tad bit of a letdown. He was certain he’d copied the actions of before. Then again, he wasn’t much for cooking in the first place and wasn’t baking a science?

Pleased not only with his victory, but the prospect of spending more time with his teacher, Naomi kept a smile all the way to the small café set up for the islands' visitors. It was about noon at this point, so they arrived at an optimal time. "Oh, thank you. You are very kind." He was grateful for the free meal, if not a bit uncomfortable to accept, he sat himself down across from Austin and waited for his pokemon to get settled before he ordered. Even with his teacher's prompting, Naomi was still hesitance to get anything too pricy and so found himself content with nothing more than a sandwich and a water.
His pokemon provided with food as well, Naomi joined them in tucking neatly into his meal. A comfortable silence passed between the table, both parties too invested in their respective food to provide much conversation. But Susan, being a psychic, didn't need to use her mouth to communicate, and when she projected her voice out Naomi jumped in his seat. Taken aback by the suddenness of her comment, and the comment itself. It took him a moment to connect the dots, and that Susan was responding to whatever thoughts had been going through Austin's head.
He smiled, pleased to know that he was liked by both trainer and pokemon. "I did not think you liked me, Susan," he admitted with a soft chuckle. "But I am pleased to learn of otherwise!" Now in an even better mood, Naomi turned a bright gaze onto Austin. "I am also pleased to know that you think so highly of me." He took another bite of his sandwich, and after chewing and swallowing he offered a bit more conversation, "Dallas told me that you two are from the same city, and how you meet. Have you known each other long? You both seem to trust one another, despite your initial meeting."

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Susan, the Gardevoir, rest of team eating
To Naomi's nice remark, Susan shrugged her shoulders as she scarfed down more food. Of course Susan like Beta, she replied. Just remember I'm in charge, then Dalpha and Fancy Boy. Austin gave the Dracovoir a knowing look, and she decided to follow the pecking order and stop being rude. The coordinator did so quick enough to catch Naomi's gaze, and he had to try ever so hard to keep from blushing profusely. "Well, n-naturally you have a very pleasant presence," Austin replied with slight effort. He drank some water in attempt to keep himself calm, and started to peck at his salad.
After some silent dining, Naomi's questions were asked, and Austin quickly came up with more pieces to the story. "I met Dallas when we were barely teens," he lied with great confidence. "And, though we have many, many differences, we have one strong thing that we share common ground on: the love of Poke'mon." Austin took another bite, and looked over to his team, eating happily (except for Riptide, who ate like he was mauling a Magikarp). "See, we both believe that every Poke'mon has potential. A lot of people only pick the strongest kind, and even then, they want the strongest of the strong in that kind. But, just because you don't meet all the prerequisites to what someone thinks is 'the perfect statistics' doesn't mean you can't do something impressive or outright extraordinary."
Austin motioned at Susan, who looked up from her sloppy eating. "Like Susan, for example: Those brigands thought her to only be an odd reject that could win some Tough Contests because of her feral state. But I can tell she's got a true potential somewhere in her very being. And believe it or not, Dallas does too. That's why he, er, punched that poacher in the face." Austin chuckled, and Susan turned away to ask the rest of the Poke'mon what the heck her trainer was talking about. "He just...has a much more physical way to show it."
Rather than comment, Naomi simply smiled and nodded at Susan. As polite as he was, he didn’t know if he would listen to her even if she was ‘in charge’; from what he understood, most of Susan’s ‘demands’ involved him relinquishing his items and bed, and he needed those. “I do?” He turned his attention back to Austin, his grin growing ever wider. "Thank you, Austin! I do not believe anyone has ever told me that. You have a very pleasant presence as well, it is very calming and I enjoy being in it,” he complimented. Naomi waited until his grin had died down before he tried his hand at eating again, he was certainly grateful that they had decided to come to this island. But, at remembering that he hadn’t arrived alone, he began to wonder where Dallas had gone.
He listened politely as Austin explained the origin story of his and Dallas’, and found himself nodding along in agreement to their shared views on pokemon. He held back his comment and waited until after Austin had finished speaking, blue gaze flickering over to Susan when the blonde directed an example at her. Naomi laughed along with him, though his show of amusement was much quieter. “Yes, ‘physical’ is an accurate way of putting it,” he agreed. He didn’t believe Dallas to be a ‘bad person’, not when he had gone out of his way to rescue a pokemon in distress and take her into his care, he just had a much different way of problem-solving than Naomi; their difference wasn’t necessarily a bad thing either, it was just… well, different.
Rotom, who had no need to consume pokemon food, had spent the majority of their time at the cafe listening in on Naomi and ‘Austin’s’ conversation while keeping from rolling his eyes. Or, at least he had been trying to. He had really won the jackpot on stupid trainers, hadn’t he? This was ridiculous. How couldn’t Naomi see that they were the same person. They just so conveniently happened to know each other, were from the same city, they were never in the same place at the same time, and shared the same physical traits; this was like a terrible version of Bruce Wayne and Noibat-man! The pokemon let loose an electronic sigh, earning a concerned look from Naomi. “I’m fine,” he mumbled, shaking his concern with just those two words. He was just… in danger of having an aneurysm from the sheer stupidity of this entire situation was all. No big deal.

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Susan, the Gardevoir Austin couldn't think of anything to say, so he smiled in response to Naomi, and enjoyed his lunch in friendly, comfy silence. As he finished up his food, he couldn't help but notice the Rotom that possessed Naomi's Pokedex. It always looked like it would rather be doing anything else. And any time that Austin or Dallas glanced over at it, it was rolling its eyes or scoffing about something. That little smart-a** might blow my cover, he thought. But what was he going to do, beat it up? Of course not. Instead, Austin just enjoyed the rest of his time with Naomi, all while thinking about what the next few days would bring them.
~~~~~~~Three Days Later~~~~~~~
Over the last three days, Austin and Naomi had spent a lot of time together, training and just getting to know eachother better. But even then, the young coordinator still found the time to branch off on his own to let off steam or indulge in more contests.
That is where Austin found himself at the moment: knee-deep in the middle of a Smart Contest. His opponent was someone that definitely had a bone to pick with the young man:L Roselyn, who was defeated by Ausitn in his first actual contest. It didn't surprised Austin that she had come to the island for the contests; she was just as big a fanatic as Austin was. And that much was apparent as the two entered the halfway point of the Performance Round.
Susan was all dressed up, wearing a bow in her hair, a pair of glasses on her face, and Austin's trusty cape worn as a form-fitting pencil skirt. The last two rounds and the appeal round had been shaky, at best; Susan's lack of confidence combined with her lack of experience had taken their toll. But, thanks to a bit of tutoring from her trainer, her new Calm Mind move helped keep her calm.
And she really needed it, as her opponent was also a Gardevoir, albeit a normal one, something Gilda likes to mention. You really don't have a chance against me, you oddball, Gilda remarked. Susan growled, but felt Austin's determination, and kept her cool, even while Gilda dazzled the crowd with a stellar display of psychic power, stacking and rearranging a series of brain-teasers. "You're not going to beat me this time, Austin Tucksworth!" Roselyn shouted at the younger coordinator. She was still very, very sore about how he literally kissed and ran, not to mention schooling her at her own game.
However, Austin only cared about two things: winning, and winning with style. Geez, these idiots won't shut up, right? Tell you what: I have an idea... Susan listened to her trainer's thoughts to get a gist of the plan, and she nodded. Susan can...Susan can do this! Hey, Gilda! Susan smart! Susan closed her eyes and held her hands up in the air. Suddenly, all of the puzzles that Gilda was currently solving began to jumble and follow Susan's mental commands. Gilda tried to override Susan's move, but her combination of Confusion and Stored Power was too much to handle, and the foe submitted, allowing Susan to finish them all, and in half the time. The judges found it to be very impressive, not only using a deft, forceful hand and a little misdirection to complete the task.
Roselyn however, did all that she could to hold in her disdain. "Oh dear, it seems as if you've spoken too soon, Ms. Roselyn," he said with a much-too-pleasant smile. Yeah, you old dumb hag! Susan is best! Luckily for their opponents, the Battle Round had started. Gilda didn't waste any time attacking with a Dream Eater, but Susan answered it immediately with Confusion, causing both of the moves to cancel the other out. The judges found both moves satisfactory, however. You foolish reject! How dare you get in the way of my success! Gilda used her Psychic move at Roselyn's order to push Susan away. The Dracovoir lost her footing and fell on her face.
"Susan, are you ok-"
WRAAAAAAAA! SUSAN NO REJECT! Susan fired Moonblast without heeding Austin, which scared Gilda so much that she ended up falling on her behind. The judges did not like Susan's display, but Gilda's lack of composure in the face of a threat lost her points as well. "Susan! Calm yourself, everything's fine!" Susan looked back to her trainer, and took deep breaths. Susan no reject...right, Dalpha? Austin smiled at her, and began to console her.
But, a quick sneak attack came from Gilda. "Susan, look-" Susan, who never stopped looking at Austin, used Confusion to disperse the attack, which surprised not only Austin, but Gilda and Roselyn as well. "Whoa..." Roselyn recovered quickly from the sudden display of intellect. "Don't think that just because your little freak blocked a few attacks that you're going to win this! I'm not going to lose to that...thing!" Susan turned on her heels, and stood erudite and sophisticated. Susan won't let old hag's words get to her, she said as eloquently as she could. Okay, Dalpha, gimme a nice smart move so we can be victor-yes!
"susan, Moonblast." Susan looked back at Austin, taken aback. "Anyone that would call a Poke'mon a freak doesn't deserve to lose with any sort of grace. Susan, please use Moonblast." Susan shrugged before letting out an angry roar and firing the dazzling beam of moonlight just inches from Gilda's head. EEEK! MOMMY NO! The gardevoir was so startled, she fired off Psychic to try and push the beam away, but only ended up pushing herself and Roselyn to the ground with a thud. A very, unsophisticated thud. The judges didn't like either display.
But, after deliberation, it was deemed that, while Gilda may had been a smarter Poke'mon, Susan showed her cleverness in the face of her mental blocks, and held her calm much better than her opponent. "Therefor, Susan and Austin are the winners of this Smart Contest!" Susan was very surprised, and began to clap and cheer with the rest of the crowd. Austin tussled her hair, which made her giggle loudly. Roselyn and Gilda stormed off, angrier than ever. "What's wrong, Ms. Roselyn? No kiss?" The two winners smiled and laughed a little harder before claiming all sorts of goodies from the judges. "Well, now what shall we do..."

Perfect. With poffins cooled and some items collected, Sebastian decided to continue forward. Kaiser seemed rearing to go and, so he fed the tough poffin to the sheep, who gobbled it down in greedy delight. Once finished, Sebastian dug out the accessories he had best suited for a tough contest. Which really was just a cape but that was fine. He carefully attached it around Kaiser’s neck and for once the pokemon didn’t give him guff. In fact, he seemed to delight in his new accessory.
Swiping off his hands, Sebastian rose to his feet and led the way to find the ring that seemed dedicated to the tough contests. It wasn’t long before he stumbled his way into a contest with a rather rough looking gentleman with an equally rough looking Rhydon. They pair were an intimidating duo to be honest, but Sebastian and Kaiser kept face for the contest. And in the end? It went miserably. While there might’ve been a hint of nobility in a Mareep participating in a Tough contest, there was really no amount of tough shenanigans that could compare to what was clearly a better trained Rhydon. It began well enough, with both showing off their tough composures, Rocko stomping his way onto the contest field and Kaiser rushing forth before giving a sudden stop in the mock act of a tackle.
It proceeded into the actual performance, with Rocko practically slamming the ground with his tail and then a leap for a more epic stomp, which sent Kaiser tumbling back before he rushed forward in a fiercer tackle, purposely acting as though he slammed with full force and flipping back. In the moment he took on the face of toughness and endurance, which the crowd found marvelous. Which was great because the vicious slamming of the ground and near ramming backwards of Kaiser threw the whole flair of his actions off.
Rocko gave a roar of triumph and stomped again and in retaliation, Kaiser flung himself right into the face of the creature in another epic display of force. Upon flipping back, the Mareep unleashed a fierce shock of electricity as a follow up, once more winning the crowd with his display. Honestly, it seemed like they might come out on top, but Rocko wasn’t finished. The moment Kaiser’s electric shock had dissipated he gave another roar, rushing in with an even more shattering bull dozing movement before promptly snatching the sheep up and dropping him down in a faux take down move that left even Kaiser wailing a bit in shock.
Luckily there was no injury, but the poor Mareep was clearly startled from the final combo delivered. It didn’t help that the final tally from the standing judge announced Rocko and his trainer as the winners. Well then…

Naomi, while surprised at the length in which they remained, wasn't about to allow such an opportunity go to waste; as the contest headquarter, this was the place for him learn all he could about the profession, and gain a bit more experience while he was at it. Of course, while he was here, he couldn't just pass up on the chance to buy a few contest necessities; so it was an educational and expensive experience, much to his wallet's chagrin. Naomi wasn't upset, far from it in fact, and as he shuffled away from one of the stalls, now the proud owner of a few grooming items that would, undoubtedly, be of use later, the youth peered at the bag of berries he'd also bought. They would be good for making poffins, something he needed to try again. He'd do that next! But, he wanted to try his hand at another contest, he'd spent enough time on the sidelines, reading up and familiarizing himself and his pokemon on certain moves and techniques, it was long past he participated in his second contest!With how well Jingū had done in her contest, she'd managed to inspire the rest of her team and encourage them to test their mettle; all except for Sousa, but Naomi had expected him to remain a firm spectator rather than a participant. Even without the Braviery, that still left three pokemon Naomi needed to enter into contests and decide which category they shined best in.
Remembering Dallas' advice, Naomi looked down at Mori, who was strolling behind an exuberant Jingū, before he hummed to himself. The blonde had suggested that Mori would do best in a cute contest, and he was apt to believe him. "Mori." The feline glanced up, hiding a yawn behind a slowly-drawn paw. "Would you care to enter a contest? I believe we have practiced enough." he inquired, careful to hide the anticipation and excitement from his voice; he wanted his pokemon to decide to do this on his own, and not because he felt an obligation to. Mori blinked sluggishly, ears absently swiveling from each new sound to the next, before he nodded with a mewl. Naomi gasped. "Really? You will!? That is fantastic! Let us find an opponent now!" And off they went, with trainer blazing a trail through the crowds for his pokemon to, just barely, follow.
It didn't take long for Naomi to find a coordinator willing to compete against him, and a panel of judges to oversee them, and after the two had traded pleasantries they moved away to prepare their respective pokemon, much to the delight of the small crowd already forming. Naomi knelt down in front of Mori, a bright smile on his face, and hummed to himself as he tied a cape to the feline's shoulders; the same one Jingu had worn in her contest. "It is for good luck," he stage-whispered, then laughed. "But, I do not think you need it. You have a good understanding of your moves and what you can do with them." Of course, they could have better prepared themselves, or rather, Naomi could have done something; made a poffin, bought a new accessory or the other, or, heck, even used one of the new items he bought to touch up on Mori's fur. But, no, he was confident in Mori and his cape.
Thankfully his faith in both wasn't without warrant, as even after Callie and Pie, the adorable Pichu whose name made him hungry, managed to capture the hearts of the audience and the judges with an electrified entrance of falling stars, and secure the lead going into the first round of the performance round, Mori managed to turn things around and capture the approval of all, including Callie and Pie. "Use Growl!" Naomi called out, and had the pleasure of watching the Litten growl playfully before trying to pounce on the edge of his own cape. He spun around quickly, paw extended to hook the material, but only succeeded in tripping himself and landing on his stomach. His confused 'mrrow' was barely heard above the resounding 'aww' that left the crowd, who just ate up his clumsy routine. As applause took over Mori stood back onto all fours, shaking himself off and regaining his composure; he was quite the little actor.
Pie puffed out his cheeks, not one to be outdone, before he jumped forward, cheeks sparking, and threw an over exaggerated wink Mori's way. He staggered back in surprise, either from the display of electricity or the move itself, with his hackles raised. His defensive stance, while only natural, couldn't be considered 'cute', by either audience or judges. Pie wasn't done there, however, and with the stage momentarily clear he didn't hesitate to draw the crowd in further with his determined show of electric prowess. It wasn't much, admittedly, and for all his scrunched up face and rapid utterances of his species' name, all he could manage was a small spark that was only visible for a few seconds. It was his effort, or more specifically the adorably determined faces he had made, that won the crowd over.
Mori wasn't as impressed (not that it showed), and he didn't wait for the applause to die away before he launched his final attack. Producing a small ember, he went straight into patting it to and fro across the stage, from one paw to the next, his face was aglow from the fire's flame and bright with sheer curiosity and wonder. It was enough of a display to win the crowd back, and for good, and Mori found that he could hold his head high (but cutely) as he trotted back to Naomi. The judges, waiting for the crowd to grow silent, announced Naomi and Mori the winners, and the area erupted into another round of cheers.
Naomi beamed, and held his smile as he scooped Mori into his arms and cuddled him close. "You were amazing!" he breathed, washing the feline in both praise and pets. Mori simply mewed back, proud of himself as well, before he looked down at the ground, where Jingū was currently hopping up and down around Naomi's feet, awed by his win. "You have quite the little fan, Mori~" Naomi teased, and laughed as Mori jumped down to join his friend. As endearing a sight as it was (it probably would've won them major points, if they were still in the contest) the trainer wasn't quick to forget his opponent, and with a more humble smile gracing his face he strode over to Callie and Pie. "You both were excellent, thank you again." Naomi bowed in front of the two in a display of gratitude. The younger girl laughed, albeit awkwardly, before she shook her head. "It was no problem. Pie and I needed the practice, so this was good for us too."

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Susan, the Gardevoir and Duchess the Furfrou
It wasn't even a full hour before Austin found himself in another contest. He had just finished down some shopping at one of the HQ's contest outlets when he was approached by a girl around his age. She turned out to be an up-and-coming coordinator named Nicole, and she wanted to test her mettle against Austin. "I hear you've beat Roselyn,", she had said, "And she's one of the best on Hau'oli. So, I just have to take you on!" And of course, Austin agreed; "I never decline a challenge," He had told her.
And there they were, preparing for a Cute Contest in the back of one of the many stages that popped up here and there at the Coordinator Corps. This time, he decided to enter one of his Poke'mon he hadn't spent much time with: Duchess, the Furfrou. She was a diva, that much was certain; she fussed and refused to be cooperative as Dallas tried to get her ready. "Damn, this fur is ridiculous!" he grumbled. "Duchess, hold still, will ya?" Duchess fidgeted quite a bit in response. Should Susan beat her up to get her to listen? Susan inquired. "Nah, Furfrous just have really difficult fur...I need to take her to a specialist or somethin'..."
They almost ran out of time to get ready, but they were able to take the stage after Nicole and her Purugly, Baron's, opening move. The judges and the small gathered crowd was very impressed with the Purugly; even with its notorious ugly demeanor, it found a way to very cute. "And now we have the opponent, Duchess the Furfrou, accompanied by her trainer, Austin Tucksworth!" The two of them took to the stage. Duchess seemed to actually enjoy the performance part of contests. She trotted onto the stage in Austin's trust cape and a pristine bow tie, and, once it caught a look at Baron and his attempt to charm her, she let out a haughty growl, in a cute and sassy fashion. It got them points on the board, so to speak, but it wasn't going to be enough to pull the complete favor of the crowd.
Because of this, Baron went first. "Okay, Baron! Show that Duchess your swagger!" Baron sauntered up to Duchess in an exaggerated fashion. Looks like they're going for the Casanova routine, Dallas thought. "Impressive, but I believe my Duchess is more entrancing. Show them your Baby-Doll Eyes, dear." The furfrou stared deeply into Baron's eyes, hers twinkling like an evening sky...
,,,which distracted the purugly long enough for Duchess to sneak in another move. Quickly, she turned on a dime and proceeded to kick dirt at Baron, in a coy display of refusal. The maneuver got laughs and a good amount of applause, which Duchess relished in. "Oh geez!" Nicole brought her hand to her mouth as she thought up their next move. "Baron! Let's get flashy! You know what to do!" Unfortunately, Baron was half blinded by the sand, and while trying to pull off a dazzling display, he ended up tripping over his own feet, falling with a thud. And the crowd was not amused.
"This is our chance, Duchess! Let's wrap up this contest with a nice bow, shall we?" Duchess nodded, and proceeded to show off her dazzling eyes once more. Baron recovered and was able to growl up some more appeal as well. But, it was the final move, and, even though Baron did his best to disrupt Duchess' performance with a well-timed Fake-Out, Duchess seemed to hold the lead. The only thing left to do was wait and see what the judges decided.
"After tallying up the scores, this panel of judges deem the winner to be...Duchess, and her trainer, Austin Tucksworth!" The crowd cheered and applauded not only Austin, but his opponents as well. Duchess even gave Baron a respectful bow after being deemed the winner, which th Purugly appreciated. "Wow, you're really good, Austin!" Nicole commented. She ran a hand through her blonde hair and smiled at him. "You probably have lots of ribbons by now!"
"Actually, I don't have any," he replied. "No contest halls or system where I'm from, I'm afraid." He shrugged off the factoid, and looked at Duchess. "But, I suppose winning contests like this isn't half bad in itself, either." Nicole nodded in agreement. "True, but if you ever want to get your name out there, you'll have to take on the contest halls of Hoenn or Sinnoh eventually. And I think you could do it. Maybe." And with that, Nicole and Baron went off on their own path.
Once Austin was able to get away from the crowd, he pondered if Nicole was right. Could I really be that good?

Trey was rubbing his hands hard against one another by the end of the battle, a thoughtful furrow in his brow and frown on his face. He definitely needed to practice on that more... He'd won, he'd even increased his lead, but still, he'd had no real idea of what he was doing going in. Or, well, that was a lie. Theoretically, he knew it well, but practically speaking, he'd never executed any tactics or strategies or even performances for it. Shade had held up fairly well, but their performance was, admittedly, a bit lackluster. He managed a short smile as the results were called, and moved to shake the man's hand, giving a nod, before heading down the stairs, with Shade rolling and tumbling down the stairs behind him. "Planning another?" JR asked, and Trey wasn't sure whether he meant contest, or strategy. It didn't matter, though. He shook his head, walking towards the trains. "I need to go get a Ribbon."
Notes to self: "Elvrick Hirsh" is JR's 'Trainer' persona

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Susan, the Gardevoir and Beltigre the Litten Austin and his team's winning streak was filling up their wallets and their stomachs. The gang decided to take a break and grab some lunch while Austin took the time to whip up a new poffin. Dalpha, Susan has a question. He glanced down at the Dracovoir, who was watching him work intently. "Yes?" She looked away for a moment before speaking her mind with her mind. Why do you pretend to be a fancy boy when you're a tough guy? Aren't you tired of this game? Austin sighed, and shrugged his shoulders. "Look, Susan, it's not that easy. I have to dress up like this if I wanna compete in contests. Nobody's gonna take a thug like me seriously otherwise." Susan concurred, though she found it to be a silly reason.
She would infer more about it, but Beltigre interrupted by yoinking the poffin Austin had just finished. "Hey! Beltigre, what're you doing?!" She quickly scarfed it down, and burrowed her head into her trainer's bag to chow down on some special candy. "Get outta there, you brat!" He pulled the little cat out of the bag, and she growled and scratched at his hand. "What the hell has gotten into you?" For the last few days, the Litten had been fussy and antagonistic. She had a real rebellious streak that he hadn't accounted for. She wriggled out of his grip and went to run off, but ended up running straight into a Lucario.
The Lucario pushed Beltigre away, and the owners showed up soon after before a fight broke out. "Hey dude, leash your cat before you get hurt!" The owner was a good old dude-bro, and he was not amused by Austin or Beltigre. "You're in the way of a real champ in the making, dude. So step aside." Austin's eyebrow twitched as a vein started to pop up. "Beg your pardon," Austin replied politely, "but you should really hold your tongue." The bro cocked an eyebrow. "Um, ex-squeeze me?" Austin forced a smile. "Manners maketh the man, so to speak. So, if you have trouble with me, I say we setting this like men."
And with that, yet another contest was starting. It was to be a cool contest, as per Taz's (the name of the rude fellow) insistence. "Stupid d**k...We'll show 'em, won't we Rip-Beltigre?" Beltigre was trying to shove her head through the cape whole, and forcing a pair of glasses on. "You're really taking this personal, aren't you? Well, screw it! If you think you can do it, let's do it!" And, with a little work and a bit of intuition, Beltigre was ready to compete.
The competition started well enough. It was clear that Luke the Lucario was much more experienced, and had much more natural appeal than the little cat, but by taking a page out of Naomi and Jingu's book, Beltigre looked like a cool little superhero! Because of this, the first round ended up in a tie. "Well done, Beltigre!" She puffed out her chest, and trotted around the stage until the second turn started. "Let's keep the crowd waiting, Beltigre. Scratch attack." Beltigre hopped up and swiped a dangerously sharp swipe in the air, that gained good appeal from the judges, but didn't quite hit the cool factor. Which, of course, gave Taz the initiative to take the lead by having Luke using Agility before starting off the next turn and fired off an amazing display in the form of Dark Pulse. The crowd loved it! But then it was time for Beltigre and Austin revealed their trap. "Yes! Fire Fang now, Beltigre!" Beltigre filled her mouth with fire before chomping down on the dark pulse, dispersing it completely. The crowd went nuts, and the applause was roaring.
It was a classic bait-and-switch, and it was sad to say that Taz and Luke fell for it a second time. It was a really quick and easy win, all things considered. "And the winners are: Beltigre, and her trainer, Austin Tucksworth!" Austin pumped his arm victoriously, and Beltigre jumped up and down multiple times, all while the losers stormed off. But then suddenly, something happened with Beltigre. She froze up, surprised, and started to shine brightly. "What the...Beltigre! You're evolving!" In a bright metamorphasis, The Litten evolved into a new form: Torracat! The larger cat looked itself over before roaring and pouncing on her trainer. "So that's why you were acting so off! Ha, I'm so proud of you, Beltigre!" She licked his face with her rough tongue, and the two shared a laugh together. "Looks like we're doing something right, aren't we?"
