[Asch] [Guy]
He hesitated when he didn't take her hand, or even look at her, But he did at least give her a name... his name she would assume "Asch" She repeated, a soft smile feathering the corners of her lips.
"Good luck Asch, see you around."
With one last pat to Tyke, Rosie looked around to Guy when he talked her over, and hurried to catch up. looking out at the first contender with excitement.

Well, he was certainly glad to meet another friendly person. Relaxing somewhat Dith gave a bass chuckle and nodding, moving quickly to take the indicated seat before anyone else did. "So I seem familiar?" he asked rhetorically as he sat down and lifted Viktor into his lap. "I'm afraid I can't say the same of you so I doubt we've met... Maybe you just saw me somewhere before, I do tend to take up a large space in people's memories," he grinned. "Anyway then, what's your name? I'm Dmitry, Dmitry Vladamirin, but please call me Dith." Had he seen the youth somewhere before?... No, he was fairly sure he hadn't, so either it was that he's just seen him somewhere before or that he reminded him of somebody else, although if the latter was the case he'd like to see this other person!
Viktor inclined his head politely and gave a soft smile, Eevees were so full of potential, and in his experience often so full of bounce too. This one seemed to be no exception to the rule, a very cheerful little chap he seemed.
Ah! The contest seemed to be starting! Shooting his companion a grin Dith added to the wave applause that rippled throughout the auditorium; this should be good!

A few seconds passed before someone appeared in the entryway, making their way out confidently with an orange and blue light on either side. The quiet blue haired girl and her two beldum walked out into the center of the appeals stage, bent down, and started fiddling with some electronic.
It took a few moments before the girl realized there was a light on her. And clapping. And that the contest had started and everyone was staring at her. "Oh- um... umm.... Uhh..." She got up slowly and started backing away. "I- um..." She squeaked before she made a mad dash to exit stage left.
----
Not a second later, the real Lola-Belle Monibee walked out proudly on stage, unaware that someone else had accidentally come on before her. To say that her dress was flashy would be an understatement. The hoop skirt had layer upon layer of powdery pink fabric with white frills and ribbons, not to mention the many jewels that accented her outfit. Lola-Belle's father had paid top dollar for this get up. Only the best for his pumpkin.
The girl flipped a loose curled strand of her lilac hair behind her shoulder before throwing two bedazzled luxury balls into the air, releasing the two pokemon inside with a dazzling flash.
A pretty roserade and top-hat adorned sableye took the stage, pausing after they landed to bow to each other, then took off dancing a sort of waltz with each other, the leafy cape of the Roserade bellowing out as they traveled across the stage.
Maximillion, the Sableye, grabbed his dance partner and lifted her into the air, only to have the purple glow of a telekensis surround her and lift her up high above him. The roserade changed from a waltz to a ballet and gracefully spun about mid-air, soon releasing soft pink petals to swirl around her.
The appeal ended when the roserade gracefully landed back in her partner's arms, the pair ending with a dramatic pose.
Lola-Belle grinned smugly.

{Dith}
Xander took his seat next to the man and copied him by putting Conrad on his lap. "Entirely possible. It might have been your picture I had seen." He said with a nod. "Oh I don't think we met either so I'm not surprised I'm not familiar." He smiled and stroked Conrad's head. "Pleasure to meet you Dith, I'm Alexander Cole, although I tend to go by Xander." He really should think up a code name some time, maybe he'll have Frost help him with that later.
Conrad purred at the pets and studied the Espeon.
Xander looked over at the stage and made a face at who was on first. The brat of a girl. He looked between the two pokemon and hid a smirk. The Sableye or Roserade would indeed be perfect to be taken for the team.

Guy stood nearby Rosie, not exactly shoulder-to-shoulder, but far away enough for him to feel comfortable and close enough so that any passerby would know that the two were clearly acquainted. His arms were folded in thought as he watched the performance of the first competitor. He eyes were locked onto the entire dance and he could only pull himself away once the appeal was done. He blinked in surprise. She was good, that was sure, but she seemed far too spoiled and self-absorbed for him to like her.
Once the appeal was over, Guy leaned over to Rosie slightly. "What do you think of that one? Her Pokemon were pretty impressive."
Anonymes looked over his master's shoulder at the performance on stage. His eyes were wide with amazement and slight fear. Who was that fancy-looking human? Why did she look so mean? Were her Pokemon mean, too? Her Pokemon were really good... Would Anon be just as good? What if he messed up? What if he embarrasses Master?! No, no, no! That was not acceptable! He would be perfect! He would make his master proud! He would!

A picture of him? Dith mused on this as he watched the start of the rather overdressed girl's act. The pokemon were pretty enough but he just couldn't get over all the pink that the trainer was wearing... Where could Xander have seen a picture of him? Were pictures of him circulating the internet or something? He hoped he hadn't somehow become a meme without noticing, one of his colleges had once threatened to photoshop him into a Tarzan outfit and post it somewhere inauspicious... Or he could just ask? Dur.
"A picture, eh?" he said with a tlit of his head. "I do hope I wasn't doing anything embarrassing in it? Was I wearing a Tarzan outfit? If I was, Jannet in paediatrics is going to feel my boot up her backside next I see her." When would he see her again? He missed all of his old work friends but he'd needed to break out of the rut he'd got himself stuck in... Maybe he'd go back eventually, and if not he at least needed to get back in touch with some of them.
Viktor smiled, He didn't exactly have the best view ever, but he could more or less see if he craned his neck in the correct direction and sat upright... Goodness, what a lot of pink that human was wearing.

Rosie herself seemed to be enjoying the performance of the pokemon quite a bit. Dance was a weakness of hers, and seeing the pokemon preforming such an elegant battle was amazing to her.
"They have the technique down beautifully,that girl trained them so well." She said with a gasp. "That was amazing!"

{Dith}
Xander pretended to think for a moment or two before he snapped his fingers and acted like he had just remembered something. "Oh yes! It was in his locket that I saw your picture!" He didn't say who's locket as he wasn't sure if Dith would know about the locket, or what name Dith knew Frost by. All this while he was also thinking on how he was going to steal one of the Brat's pokemon with out blowing his cover. "But no it wasn't an embarrassing picture."
Conrad said then nuzzled his partner. Of course he wouldn't complement the two who had run into them earlier but still.

Asch finally turned his attention to the screen once Rosie and Guy had moved on, and watched the display of Miss Lola. She definitely was a show girl, wasn't she?
Folding his arms, he simply waited as he looked down at his tag. Seemed that he would be the last one to compete. That didn't really bother him any. In fact, it probably worked to his advantage.
---
Again there was a thunderous applause after Lola's Pokemon completed their appeals.
"Oooh! How stunning!" Nurse Joy cooed with delight upon seeing the beautiful waltz of the two Pokemon.
The Chairman was on his feet, also applauding heartily. "My that was simply beautiful! Gorgeous! Abolsutely. Stunning! Yes! Roserade. Sableye. Wonderful pair! So full of Grace. And Beauty! Much. Delight!"
Miss Lola was then ushered off to a side box for her to sit and watch the appeals of the other contestants.
The announcer then lifted the microphone up again. "My that was simply an amazing set of appeals! Lola has certainly set the bar high! Can our contestants beat that? We'll just have to wait and see! Next up is Miss Rosie Ewell with Vahy'n the Vaporeon and Kiss Kiss the Pikachu!"

(Meanwhile, back at base)
Jerome sat, lazily lounging with his arm sprawled over the back of the couch, the other one holding the remote that was pointed at the TV screen.
Very much resembling a splayed lion, lazing in the shade, dark eyes half lidded as with mild interest, he clicked from station to station, trying to find something interesting to watch.
He went a little to quickly, and in a split second, though he saw something that looked familiar to him.
Eyes opening a little more, the man frowned softly and clicked back a couple of channels, just in time to see a young women he recognized, unknowingly in the spotlight as she seemed to be fixing something.
Jerome couldn't help a grin from spreading over his lips, sitting up a little higher as she suddenly noticed all the attention, and very quickly got out of there.
Yup, That was definitely Izumi.
Jerome chuckled.

At long last, a slim figure in a black V-neck slunk into the stadium, looking for a seat, Rocket 'dex tucked safely into his back pocket. He had washed off the Pidgeot poop as best he could and draped the folded wet parka over his arm. He scanned the stands, almost overwhelmed by sheer amount of people in one place. It wasn't dark, so he couldn't exactly go around picking up pokemon, but it was promising.
Something bumped into him from behind. He glanced over to see Celty there. "Spread out," he whispered, doubting there were still seats next to Dith...wherever he was. Even though the man was massive, the stadium held thousands of people. Dith could have been on the opposite side. "Find a good place for us to sit, Celty."

Guy shrugged. "The Pokemon were pretty good, yeah, as well as the technique... I don't know. Seems too... dance-like for my tastes. But, what do I know?" He frowned. Were they all supposed to do dances? Guy didn't really think that he could perform a decent pas-de-deux with his little Litwick...
All of a sudden, the announcer blared out again, introducing Rosie to the stage. Guy grinned at his friend and clapped a few times in support. "All right! Best of luck, miss Rosie! You'll all be fantastic!" Beside his shoulder, Anonymes clapped his small hands together for the human girl as well. That human girl was nice to Anon. She was also nice to Master. Anyone who was friends with Master was friends with Anonymes.

...What?
What?
What?
There was only one person in the world who would have his picture in a locket... and Xander had seen it. What business did he have going through any of Snezhok's things, let alone looking at his locket!.. It was gratifying to know that his picture was still in it... Wait, did that mean Jack were here somewhere? It was all he could do not to jump up and look around but no, no, not here here he was sure, if he was then wouldn't he be with somebody who knew him well enough to be going through his most personal possessions?... Unless Xander wasn't his friend and had stolen it; the kid and his Eevee didn't look like much of a match for Skiron but he might have more pokemon, or might have had the element of surprise, or might just be tougher than they looked.
Head spinning, contest completely forgotten, Dith just stared at Xander in silence for several moments. When he finally collected his thoughts enough to speak his voice was low and carried a very faintly dangerous edge. "Did I just hear you right? 'His' locket? It's not very polite to look at something so obviously private you know." He was pretty sure Xander had heard what he'd said earlier about politeness... He knew Jack well, or he'd done something to him. His heart was racing.
The Espeon gave a slight squeak of protest as his trainer's arms tensed around him. He'd tuned out of the human conversation to speak to Conrad and watch the show, but he was regretting it now; what had perturbed Dima so much so suddenly? He was giving the other human a very intense stare indeed. What had he missed?

Callista slipped into the stadium, Eden in her ams, and looked for a place to sit - she couldn't stand around her the entire time, after all. It looked like she had already missed the first contestant, but that was fine - someone had probably already marked whoever-it-was. In her arms, Eden stared at the contest stage, violet eyes wide with excitement, and the pink-haired rocket mentally resolved not to sit anywhere near the stage, lest Eden decided to try and steal the spotlight.
That was the last kind of trouble that she needed.

The name shook her. Rosie? You mean THE Rosie that she-? A lovely smile spread across her lips as she leaned back into her seating, clearly entertained. Ah. Maybe this won't be so boring after all. Maybe she could burn that little girlie now to a crisp other than just wood. A hand tugged at her braid, too much amused. Out of all places to see her, here and now.
"Put on a good show." Len grinned. "I'm watching."
