Alex grimaces as Kabby takes a rather hefty hit, and throws his hand up. "Kabby! Show them the new trick!" The little fossil nods, and raises its legs, white balls of energy surging at the Lotad!
Kabby uses Physical Ancient Power!

“We can still pull through Delphi! Absorb again!”The Lotad nods, and the glowing red beams shoot out at Kabby once again. Kabby can’t take it anymore and falls over, a few new burns on his body. Lucy fist pumps the air, then squats down and pets her Lotad. “We did it, Delphi!” The Lotad blows a bubble that pops in her face and she laughs. She recalls the thing and then walks over. “Hey, that was fun! Don’t worry about losing though, I lost my first couple of battles too.” She confesses. “We should probably get these guys healed up, though. Wanna exchange numbers so we can do this again sometime? Plus, if you ever have trouble in any of your classes, I can help out!”
Lucy applies Brutal Training on Delphi! Delphi uses Absorb on Kabby for 28 Damage, giving him 2 Injuries!

Alex quickly returns Kabby once he falls over, biting his lip. He'd failed AGAIN. in such a short period of time... He tucked the pokeball in his belt, noting to head over to the center as quickly as he could.
He nodded, putting on a smile that didn't seem quite honest. "Th-Thanks... I'd appreciate the help." He exchanged numbers with her, keeping her in mind. A Water Ace maybe? He'd need to see more of her pokemon to be sure... "I've got a bit of skill mentoring, but I guess I need to be handier in battles... Maybe I'll find some books on the subject and study up..." Yeah, that could work... If he were more help on the sidelines in League Matches, Kabby wouldn't suffer so much...

“That’s the spirit!” Lucy says, walking up the front desk of the Pokemon Center. She hands over the Pokeball of her Lotad, and the nurse on staff, Nurse Powell sets an alarm on her Pokedex. Nurse Powell, instead of setting an alarm on your Pokedex, simply hands it back. “We’ll be keeping your Pokemon overnight, so I don’t need to set an alarm for you. Just come back any-time tomorrow and they’ll be all healed up!” She explains. “Well, see you again sometime Alex! It was fun battling with you.” Lucy says before walking over to her friend. They both leave a moment later. Congratulations on your first League battle! You gain 1 TXP and 8 XP to be distributed as you see fit, but at least half must go to Kabby.

Alex nods, leaving Kabby with the nurse, seeming a bit upset. A day without Kabby? His first day without his partner... Well, Zoey was still a good pokemon. He got a hold of himself, nodding. "I'll be here early tomorrow!" Probably 5 AM. He'd set his alarm for 4 and hold off on any adventures tonight. He was still healing up himself, after all...
After the two girls had left, he made his way to whatever was closest to a library in the hospital, looking for reference materials on training, commands, and, on the side, maps of the area.

Alex returns back to the Center’s small library. He’s able to easily find a few books on training and commands. One was called, “Commands for Beginners”, another was called, “Best Training Regimen You Can Do At Home!”

Alex noted the names for later to check out of the library in the main building, and flipped through the pages, trying to glean some information from them before he could go to class.

The books are written like self-help books, and while they have some helpful advice, they all read like they’re trying to sell you something “Commands for Beginners”
“Best Training Regimen You Can Do At Home!”

Alex noted the names of the book, jotting them down in his Pokedex to check out from the library later. For now... Perhaps a bit of research on his new employers would be in order. He began scouring the shelves for anything about Trinity.

Looking through the books, Alex doesn’t spot anything related to Trinity. Perhaps he could try looking somewhere else?

As Alex browses the library, Nurse Powell comes in once more.
“It’s time for lunch! Don’t worry, you can head back to classes right after. Follow me.” She instructs, leading Alex into a small cafeteria. It’s nowhere near as big as the school cafeteria, but then again, there aren’t that many people in it.
“What would you like? I can get you a Feebas salad sandwich, Tepig and cheese sandwich, or a Torchic salad sandwich for free. I can grab a water for you too, if you want.” She asks, having Alex sit at a table as she lists off the options.

Alex stirs himself from the books, nodding. Class. Yes, that would be good... He sits down, contemplating his options. "Tepig and cheese please." Mmmm... Tepig....

As Alex applies the potion to Zoey, he gets a notification on his Pokedex. It reads:

Alex nods, returning Zoey for now to save on time, and hustled towards the stage. His debut as a contest trainer! Not something he ever thought he'd do, but here he was. Worst case was that it didn't go well, or Zoey simply had no moves for the contest type. A Tough Contest would suit her well, due to her rock solid nature. He made his way to the stage, thinking about how he looked. Still bandaged, his face torn up, and Zoey didn't look much better after her battle with that Barboach... MAN he hoped it was a Tough Contest.

Walking into the large stage, Alex can see several maintenance workers putting up decorations and setting up chairs. Four girls are sitting on the edge of the stage, one quite obviously being Ms. Davenport. The other three are recognizable from class. One is Chaika, one is a girl named Lyn, and another is a girl Alex doesn’t really remember speaking to at all, but he thinks her name is Yuki. “Ah good. It’s our last contestant!” Ms. Davenport says, looking a bit relieved. “If you could please get on the stage please, that’d be great.” She gestures to the stage door as she speaks. After Alex walks on stage, Ms. Davenport does a bit more explaining. “You all have an hour to prepare for the contest while things get set up. You can do this in the dressing rooms I’ll show you to in a minute. After an hour, I’ll line you all up and we’ll begin the contest. Understood?”
The three girls nod. “Good. Now, the contest type will be Tough.” The three girls audibly groan. “If you win it just shows how well you work despite not having an advantage. I’ll show you to those dressing rooms now and we can all get started.”
With that, Ms. Davenport leads the four students backstage into a set of small rooms with mirrors, chairs, a few shelves for storage, and a small vanity. Alex quickly finds himself alone with only an hour of preparation to keep him company. The Contest Type is Tough. Please remember Tough correlates with the Defense stat! In your next post, please be sure to put any mechanical preparations you do in a spoiler, i.e. grooming or using certain Coordinator features.

"Sorry for being late, had to help a friend with something." He grinned, giving Zoey a quick pat on the head affectionately. They lucked out. Zoey really only had Tough and Cute moves, according to what he saw in the pokedex page. He wasn't a coordinator, so he had no idea how to prep for a contest. Instead, he decided to apply a bandage to Zoey to help treat her wounds, and relax by watching a silly movie about prehistoric pokemon. Since there was nothing he could do, this was mostly a distraction to keep him from worrying too much about things. He had thought up a simple plan, which would depend on when he acted in the contest, but could likely work to his advantage either way.

After about an hour, Alex gets a knock on his dressing room door. When opening the door, he sees the other contestants gathering backstage along with Ms.Davenport. Ms.Davenport looks quite different, having changed into a leather jacket, large dark green tank top, jeans, black boots, and fingerless leather gloves. She even has a black bandana around her neck, dramatic black winged eyeliner, and bright red lipstick. The other three girls look slightly different too. Yuki has her white hair put up in a ponytail, shorts, a fitted dark gray tank top, high-top shoes, and has bandages wrapped around her fists. Lyn and Chaika look significantly fancier, with Chaika in one of her stage outfits and Lyn in a cute hand-made dress. “Alright, here’s what’s going to happen. I’ll have you all come on stage one by one, starting with Alex here, so wait offstage on stage right. You’ll come do your introduction on center stage, then you’ll line up downstage. After all the introductions are done, you’ll move into your positions on center stage, and I’ll move downstage. Are we clear? Good.” Ms. Davenport doesn’t even wait for answers, simply turning around and walking onstage. The contestants can’t see much of what’s happening onstage, but they can hear Ms. Davenport’s voice because of her microphone. “Good evening everyone! Welcome to Olmia Academy’s first Tough Contest!” The audience applauds. “We have a very special guest judge for today’s contest. The High Coordinator himself, Cole Letourneau is joining us! He isn’t the only judge though, so make sure to make your voice heard in the audience! Alright! Are you ready to meet your contestants?” The audience once again applauds, signaling the proper time for Alex’s entrance. This is the introduction phase of the contest. Please roll either Charm, Intuition, Intimidate, Guile, or Command. As a reminder, unless you have Grace, Intimidate generates Tough Dice. If you choose to roll Intimidate, you will begin the contest with 2 Appeal Points.

The High Coordinator was here? And Alex was going first. The guy with no idea what to do for a contest, and hadn't even changed out of his bandages and uniform. How was he supposed to... An idea hit him right before he got the signal, and he quickly undid all of the buttons on his shirt, letting it hang open like a punk from one of those foreign cartoons, his shirt ironically enough reading "Let's Rock." It was one of his favorites, and perhaps it'd serve him well. If he had a hat the ensemble would be complete, but he didn't have time for that. He simply strolled out onto the stage, walking tall and confident, not even looking to the audience until he'd reached his spot on the stage, taking a small breath as he let Zoey out of her pokeball to float by his side. He turned towards the audience, a smirk on his bandaged face. He hoped this was intimidating enough.... "I'm Alex Ite, and this is Zoey. You better be ready, cause she's gonna rock your world." Oh dear lord his grandfather's penchant for puns had snuck into his opening statement... Well, maybe the judges would like it. Introduction, Intimidate! XsqD7vDb1d6 1d6

Alex gets a bit of applause as he walks downstage, but the crowd quiets as they prepare for the next introduction. Chaika comes to the stage next, and just because of her fame, she gets a bit of applause before she even speaks. “I know Aria and I look cute and cuddly, but we’re gonna show you just how tough we can be! Rawr!” Chaika puts up her hands like claws and her Buneary, Aria, squeaks loudly as she does the same. It’s still pretty cute, but she gets about the same amount of applause as Alex. Lyn comes out next, and she poses next to her Vulpix as it releases a beautiful puff of flames. “Our beauty will always prevail.” The crowd applaudes quite a bit, but they seem a bit confused, seeing that the contest is a Tough Contest and not a Beauty Contest. Last but not least, Yuki comes out. Neither her or her Seel say much, simply crossing her arms and glaring at the audience. After a moment of silence she simply says, “That's why we’ll win.”The audience loves it, giving her the most applause and attention out of all the contestants. Ms. Davenport then steps forward with a smile. “Please give all of our contestants a round of applause!” As she speaks, her Sylveon trots on stage with an envelope in her feelers and after giving it to Ms. Davenport, she walks offstage. Ms. Davenport opens the envelope, then moves downstage. “Today contestant A will be Yuki Winslet, contestant B will be Chaika Abe, contestant C will be Alex Ite, and contestant D will be Lyn Rouge!” She announces. The contestants take their marks on center stage, standing on the conveniently lettered spots. “Without further ado, let’s get started!”
Yuki takes the spotlight first, punching up in the air while Aspen does similarly with her horn. The crowd claps, clearly appreciating the display of physicality. Chaika follows up with something similar, but much cuter. She once again makes claws with her hands while Aria spins, and then stops as she pounds the ground with her foot. She gets an average amount of applause. Position Chart:

If Zoey uses a Tough move, she will gain +1d6 to her roll, if she uses a Beauty or Cute move, she will roll -1d6, and if she uses a Cool or Smart move she will not gain or lose any dice.

Alex nods to Zoey, who lunges forward, a large displacement of air from the tackle. He could only hope it'd be enough... Tackle 5d6 plus 1d6 for Tough kKBrpYTt6d6
