You have finally arrived in Ecrin Town, the start of every contest adventure in Stiola. (those arriving from elsewhere arrive by airplane, those living on Stiola arrive by boat). As you enter the town, you see a lot of people have gathered. After all, it's time for the new contest season to start! The first thing you have to do is go to the Pokémon Center and register for a Contest Pass. You will also get a (empty) Poffin Case, a Ribbon Box and a card with the date and time of your first contest.
You have been preparing for this day for quite some time, and now it has finally come! Your first contest is about to begin. When you go inside the Contest Hall, you see a lot of different trainers. Some are standing in line to show their card, while others sit around waiting for their turn to go on stage.
When it is finally your turn you hand over your card to the attendant.
"Hello, welcome to the Ecrin Contest. Is this your first time entering a contest?"
(Now it is your turn, you all enter at about the same time and are standing not too far from one another in line. You don't know one another so far)

"I've done some basic stuff out in Hoenn, but nothing like this," Tony replies. As he hands his card over, a thought strikes him. "I'll be using my Milotic- oh, before I forget: are there any particular rules about the contest circuit that are unique to the region in general?" He smiles a bit bashfully. "First time here, so I don't want to step on any toes."

"Not quite the first time, but I've never participated in a regional circuit before. I mostly participated in our Wavehaven local circuits" said Isaac as his turn came and he handed in his ID. "I'm rather curious about what the differences between them are"

"I've participated in a few contests back in Hearthome City" Mia says with a smile as she shows the attendant her card. "I can't wait to see what the difference is between the Contests here and back home"

Brent enters the Contest Hall with a mixture of aprehension and excitement, and immediately scans the other people around. "Geez, am I the only newbie around?", he mutters to himself as he hands his Contest Pass to the receptionist.
"Yeah, it is, in fact. Is it too obvious?" he asks her with a smile. "I'll be joining today with Bun, my munchlax, so I just hope we don't embarass ourselves."

As everyone hands over their invitation and Contest Pass, the attendant enters the data in her computer and scans the Pass. "Ok, your contest will start shortly. You can enter through the door behind me when they call for you. Which Pokémon will you be using?" (can you please edit this into your previous post?)
After a few minutes of waiting you hear the following announcement: "Next contestants are Isaac Hunter, Tony Terrell, Mia Sorrel and Brent Lovell"
As you all enter through the door to the next room you are met by Corryn, one of the judges. "Welcome, I hope you're all ready for today? In a moment you will go on stage and I want all of you to do your best. Before we begin, do you have any more questions?"
"Most contests here are using the basic rules, though there are a few exceptions. One being trainer participation in Hankala for example. Another is a battle contest, in which you have to fight as well as give a performance. There are some others as well, but let's not spoil all of them yet right?"
"Ok, good luck and have fun up there, we'll be watching!"
With that, Corryn goes back towards her seat and starts announcing you. "Next up we have Isaac Hunter, Tony Terrell, Mia Sorrel and Brent Lovell! Give them a warm applause people." The crowd starts cheering you all on as you enter the stage.
(you can all make an introduction roll, I'm going to assume that everyone has done some training before arriving, so if you have any features or edges that give extra dice, you can use them. Also, as this is a random contest you can use whatever Skill you want out of Charm, Command, Guile, Intimidate or Intuition. Also Also, this contest has no main Contest Stat, so all performances are equally effective. If you have any more questions, you can always ask them in a pm)

" Alright, let's do this." Pulling out a Pokeball, Tony strides confidently onto the stage. He proceeds to perform several flamboyant stunts, such as tossing the ball behind his back, bouncing it off his elbows and knees, and and finally, kicking it up into the air. "Geneva, come on down!" The Milotic appears in a flash of light, twirling like a ballerina to better show off the sparkling scarf Tony put on her earlier. Upon hitting the stage, Geneva swirls about Tony, her scales and scarf sending a beautiful series of coruscating lights sparkling over the audience, dazzling them. When the light finally clears, Tony and Geneva stand together. Tony holds out his hand, and the Pokeball he tossed into the air drops into his hand, neatly as can be. yOy8sbhT1-6 1-6 1-6 1-6 1-6 1-6 1-6OOC Information Tony uses his Juggling Show feature to get an extra 1d6. Geneva's Contest Accessory nets an additional 2d6. 1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6

"Come on out Mari!" Mia shouts as she walks onto center stage and with a pirouette followed by a bow throws a Pokeball into the air releasing her Kirlia onto her stage. Mari emerges from the ball and when she touches the stage she does a a couple of spins around Mia before curtsying towards the audience. The spins serve to show off the scarf around Mari's neck causing it to spiral around the Kirlia and then softly falls on her shoulders.

"And so, it begins" mutters Isaac to himself as he walks onto the stage and, notably, stands right at the edge of the pool for water Pokemon. Bowing to the crowd slightly he extends his hand to the side and triggers his pokeball, "The stage is set for you, Marina. Come on out" he says as he allows himself to drop back into the pool. His Lapras materializes in a storm of lights and mist, allowing him to grab to her neck and fall cleanly onto her shell. The water Pokemon has been thoroughly cleaned and groomed, making her skin glossy and resplendent with the shell taking on a less opaque shade. Marina is adorned with a gorgeous silvery tiara that seems to be made to resemble ice shards. They make a small loop around the pool, until Isaac finally walks off and stands at his station with the other contestants. uO|qshzT7d6 4d6 intuition + 1d6 grooming + 2d6 accessory 7d6

Brent enters the stage with a wide smile, despite his nervousness. He waves to the crowd and even blinks to some people in the front seats, before taking a pokéball and holding on the palm of his hand. "Time to work, Bun!", he says, as a wave of energy comes from the ball and materializes as a munchlax wearing a pair of reading glasses. He smiles to the public, removing the glasses and folding them carefully before giving them to Brent, who takes the item as practiced. The snorlax then bows towards the audience, standing as straight as he can next to his competition. Brent feels proud of his training. "That was perfect, Bun!", he thinks, still smiling.

"Now for your first move Mari use Confusion" Mia shouts as Mari's horns begin to glow an ethereal blue and crescent-shaped energy ripples begin expanding outwards from them towards the audience, and cause the ends of Mari's scarf to flutter in the wind caused by their passing.

Seeing Marina take center-stage, Isaac guesses he's been chosen to be the opener. He doesn't mind much, although he does prefer finishers. "Marina, darling, why don't we raise the bar a bit? Use Mist Wall" he says as the Lapras bows her powerful head and releases a powerful cry. Sparkling ice-mist starts emanating from her body and rapidly swirling around her, filling up the stage. Marina then sweeps her neck again, making the mist form a stream around her and create a wall of sparkling mist around her, almost a protective ring of misty light. Using Adaptable Performance, combining Mist (Beauty) with Protect (Inversed Appeal). tEfQrZOn11d6 5d6 Move + 6d6 Beauty Dice generated.

Tony strokes his chin a moment. " Geneva, our spotlight seems to have been stolen. Let's get it back. Captivate!" Geneva glows for a moment, and then the glow projects outward from her over the audience, the light twisting and swirling in hypnotic, rainbow colors.

Ok, seems like there are a few things not going right (my bad, sorry) 1) you can't use more than +3d6 from your introduction stage per move, so you can use 3 now and the other 3 during your other 3 moves 2)you don't get extra dice from using a STAB move 3)you can use the dice according to your stat points, so if your pokémon has for example 11 in Attack or 23 in Special Defense, you can use an extra +1d6 or an extra +2d6 for a cool move or a smart move respectively, these extra dice can be used during any turn, but can only be used once and to a maximum of +3d6. So if you have for example an extra 2d6 on beauty from stats, you can use those and one dice from your introduction roll for a max of +3d6 in one move Also, could everyone add their character sheet to their signature? It makes it easier for me to look up your characters

Brent is calmly analyzing the other contestants' moves. They seem to know what they are doing, but Brent knows a big start doesn't mean a win. With a serene face, he order his pokémon: "Bun, things seem to be quite bright. Why don't we deal with that?"The munchlax nods once, staring at the other pokémon as he focus energy onto his paws, who start glowing with soft, pure white. Suddenly, the munchlax leaps, sommersaulting into the air as he swipes around, the glimmer of his claws clashing with the many colors caused by the other pokémon in small bursts of light, effectively removing the hues from the stage. He landsperfectly on his feet, with a smug look on his face as he stares at the other contestants. Bun uses Chip Away, a Tough move with the Reliable effect. He will use his Defense Stat Die (1d6) and Poffin Die (1d6) on the roll.

That gets Bun 4 Appeal Points. 5d6

Corryn: "Aha! Everyone is doing their best to please our audience today, but Isaac takes the centre of the stage with Marina this turn."
Federico: "It does seem like Tony is trying to take all attention to him and Geneva. For the next turn of the contest we have him at the centre stage, followed by Brent, Isaac and finally Mia. I wonder what amazing displays we'll be seeing this time"

Tony chews his lip thoughtfully for a moment. " Well, then, how about this? Geneva, use Twister!" Geneva raises her head, and a sparkling tornado rises upon the stage. Geneva throws a few loose scales from her tail in there, adding to the dazzling display; the reflections make it seem like there are more scales than there really are, hypnotizing the audience.

Brent smiles at the milotic's presentation. Just what they needed. "Bun, finish it off," he says calmly to the munchlax, whose paws still had the white glow from his last move. Bun takes a step forward, rubbing his small paws to make a smal shower of sparks before suddenly clpaping once. The wisps of light seem to condensate around him before expanding out, reflecting on the scales Geneva had generously scattered around, making his move look far more flashy and effective than it really was. Bun used Chip Away again, since it's Reliable. That gives him +1d6 to the roll and 1 Voltage.
Appeal Roll: FbqX1Zqe4d6
That gives him 4 more Appeal Points. Current Appeal: 8 Current Voltage: 1 4d6
