Lyn moves after Alex, Kit once again releases a beautiful puff of flames from her mouth. She gets a good amount of applause after a bit of silence and confusion. “This ends the first round! Please give our wonderful contestants a round of applause!” Ms. Davenport announces. As the audience claps, the contestants move and shift positions, and when the clapping dies down, the contest starts again. The spotlight settles on Chaika and Aria and they take full advantage of it. Chaika smiles and makes a heart sign while Aria hops around. The audience “aw”s, which is odd considering the contest type. Next up is Lyn and Kit, and Kit also does something quite cute. The Vulpix turns and whips its many tails around. The audience claps, but the crowd still seems confused. Yuki and Aspen perform next and oddly enough, they also do something quite cute. Aspen shoots streams of water out of her mouth onto the stage, and it seems like it makes Aria and Kit quite uncomfortable. Position Chart:

After seeing how the other contestant's moves went, Alex decided to ditch his plan to make them all slip up, and instead aim for making Zoey shine all the brighter. A bit literally in this case. He grinned and pointed towards the lights, calling out a command to Zoey. "Zoey! Dazzle them!" Taking the hint from their training, Zoey flexed and buffed herself up as some of the dirt and mud came off of her body, the light making her shine all the brighter. Shortly after, once the spotlight was on Zoey, he grinned wider, pointing towards the audience. "IMPACT!" With a grunt, Zoey punches forward, a larger gust of wind following than the first attack, spurred on by Alex's commands. Rock Polish. Tough, Exhausting Act (Since Voltage is below 2, secondary effect does not trigger.) +1 Voltage, +1 tough for 6d6. O5mEkd|y6d6
Round Three. Tackle. Tough, Steady Performance (+1 Voltage) +1 Voltage, +1 for Tough, +2 for Toughness die. Total 9d6. 9d6 6d6·9d6

After Alex’s turn, the crowd gives him quite a bit of applause, obviously happy to see something tough. Ms. Davenport maintains her cool while she ends the round, simply stating, “Very interesting round, wouldn’t you say folks? Hopefully our judge enjoyed the unusual last round.” As an answer, Mr. Letourneau gives a thumbs-up. “Good. Let’s get started with the next round then!”Alex takes his turn first, dazzling the audience with Zoey’s tackle. The audience “ooh”s, giving the Geodude plenty of applause while she’s in the spotlight. Yuki and Aspen take their turn next, and Aspen growls at the audience, and while she tries to look tough, she just looks adorable. Yuki just crosses her arms and rolls her eyes. Lyn goes next and both herself and Kit bat their eyes enticingly at the audience. Chaika follows up Lyn’s performance by poking Aria. It seems a bit odd, but Aria doesn’t seem bothered. She just continues to cross her arms in front of herself and scrunching up her face. Zoey and Aspen seem a bit unnerved by the little bunny’s display of tenacity. “This’ll be the last round! Let’s hope our contestants dazzle you with their strength!” Ms. Davenport announces. Lyn takes the spotlight, and she completely commands it. Even though it’s utterly contrary to the contest type, Kit’s beautiful puffs of fire completely captivate the audience, and the crowd goes crazy with applause when Lyn blows them a kiss.

Alex looked over to Lyn, raising an eyebrow. Did she understand what the word Tough even meant? He shrugged, motioning for Zoey to use Rock Polish again, knowing he wasn't going to be able to top that. Zoey had done well though. This was... His fourth loss of the day, if his math wasn't off. What a rough start to the school year. But that's what rough starts were for. Showing you where you needed to improve. In that respect, today had been a success. He simply needed to figure out where his strengths were and work on them. Zoey's Rock Polish. Exhausting Act (+2 more Dice, -2 Voltage) 4d6 base, +1 Tough, +2 Voltage, +2 Exhausting.

After Alex’s last appeal, Yuki and Chaika make their own last ditch efforts to sway the audience. Aspen once again shows the audience her horn, and then headbutts the air, wowing the crowd. Aria does a one-two-punch combo on the air, getting a fair share of applause as well. “That ends our contest! Everyone give our contestants a hand, and you four take a bow! Please give us a moment as our judge deliberates.” Ms. Davenport announces. After everyone bows, Ms. Davenport leads the contestants off-stage. Backstage, Ms. Davenport does some more explaining. “In a few minutes, I’ll go back on-stage and announce the winner. If you’ve gotten first place, come out for your ribbon, but everyone else is free to do as they please.”After a few minutes, Clarity returns with an envelope. She and Ms. Davenport then go back onto the stage, probably to announce the winner. “In this envelope, we have the winners, but before I announce them, I’d like to thank you all for joining us, and I’d like to give a special thanks to Cole Letourneau for joining us as our judge today!” Ms. Davenport pauses for applause before taking the envelope from Clarity. “Without further ado, here are the winners! In fourth place, Alex Ite! In third place, Chaika Abe! In second place, Yuki Winslet! And in first place, Lyn Rouge!”Lyn then goes on-stage and Ms. Davenport and Mr. Letourneau pin a ribbon on her. They bow, and head back off-stage. After the contest, everyone is quite busy, and the backstage area is quite loud. Everyone is talking and changing, and of course, everyone can hear the crowd milling about as well. It’s now 9:00 PM!
In case you were wondering, here’s the final score.
Appeal Points: Yuki: 25 Chaika: 20 Alex: 16 Lyn: 36

Alex nods, not having expected much different. All three of these people had probably been trying to do contests as their main focus of the school. For now, he'd simply try to make some connections. He wrote two cards out, with his number on the back and "ONE FREE TRAINING" on the front, and made an attempt to hand them off to Chaika and Yuki. Lyn was probably busy, he'd see about maybe getting her one later. "I'd stay and chat, but I'm gonna go take a walk before curfew. I'm thinking of searching for some pokemon."
With that said to each of them, he shot Leo a text. "Hey Leo, it's Alex. Contest is over, I uh... Bombed. Are you busy?"

Chaika, having invited two girls who look vaguely familiar from class backstage, accepts Alex’s “coupon” happily and gives him a simple “thank you” with a smile. She assures him that she’ll be in touch and tells him he did a good job in the contest before turning back to talk to her friends. Yuki, however, doesn’t take things so well.
“Are you...pitying me?” She scoffs, pushing Alex’s hand aside. He actually feels a bit intimidated by her icy glare as she speaks. “Let me put this in terms you understand, I don’t want your handouts. I don’t need your subpar training for my beautiful Aspen, and I certainly don’t need your pity. Can you wrap your simple little mind around that?”
After texting Leo, Alex receives a text back a few minutes later.

Alex shrugged and pocketed the coupon. "I was trying to congratulate you for beating me, but I suppose you're right. Let me know if you ever change your mind." He turns and leaves without giving her a chance to say anything else, opening up his pokedex.
"I'm not really. Just thought it'd be fun to try. I was curious if you wouldn't mind heading to the mountain with me for a short walk. I had a bad run in this morning and kind of don't want to go out alone right now."

It isn’t long before Alex gets a new notification on his Pokedex from Leo. Please roll a d100 for an encounter in your next post if you want one.

Alex grins, shooting back a quick text and heading to the dorms. "How about near the dorms? I'm making my way there now." He couldn't help but wonder what kind of pokemon were up at this hour... i22lHLkp1d100 1d100

After a few minutes of waiting, Leo finds Alex and waves to him. “Hey! Sorry, I didn’t know which dorm you were talking about. You wanna get going then?”
The two boys begin the trek up the mountain, laughing and talking as they go. It isn’t too hard for them to get up the mountain and navigate around. Eventually, after coming down a ledge, they spot a Mankey and a humanoid Pokemon with a spiky head, pink-purple skin, and brown “shorts” and “shoes.” They seem to be play-fighting, not really hurting each other, and instead just doing it to have fun. The two don’t seem to notice the young trainers, or at least don’t care about them. Leo leans over to Alex and whispers, “You wanna try and catch these guys?”
All of the ledges count as Slow Terrain (Mountain), and the shrubs, trees, and rocks are Rough Terrain (Mountain.) Not adding an initiative because nothing is hostile yet. If you want to recognize the Tyrogue, you can roll Pokemon Edu with the usual DC of 5.

Alex nods, trying to avoid looking at the Mankey. "Sure, if you're up for taking the Mankey. I'm not quite ready to try to befriend one yet... Should we take the charming route?"caQsezTL4d6 4d6

Upon seeing the Tyrogue, Alex recognizes it almost immediately. They aren’t very rare and they’re fairly recognizable, so it wasn’t very hard. Leo nods when Alex suggests charming the two Pokemon. “Sounds good to me! How do you want to go about this? They look a bit, uh, busy.”As if to illustrate Leo’s point, the two Pokemon get a louder and rougher in their play-fighting. All of the ledges count as Slow Terrain (Mountain), and the shrubs, trees, and rocks are Rough Terrain (Mountain.)

Alex thinks for a moment, eyeing the tyrogue. "For now, should we just make ourselves known? Startling them wouldn't be a good idea, I think." With that said, Alex begins to calmly walk forward, aiming to observe the play-fighting from a closer point.

Leo nods, but lets Alex move forward first. He takes slow, careful steps behind Alex, staying a few steps back. Noticing the two boys, the Mankey and Tyrogue stare at them for a moment, then after a bit of talking, they move to Alex’s left and continue their game. All of the ledges count as Slow Terrain (Mountain), and the shrubs, trees, and rocks are Rough Terrain (Mountain.)

Alex frowned. These two seemed more intent on fighting than examining something new in their environment. Maybe he could use that to his advantage. He took a step closer, clearing his throat. "Do you guys want to fight something even STRONGER? My friend and I are from a place with a lot of strong fighters and pokemon, and if you're interested, we could take you there. You'd just have to join our teams. What do you think about that?"One step south, Charm roll.
91IDg6U03d6 Trying to make the idea sound super appealing and make them (Tyrogue especially) want to join us. 3d6

The Pokemon don’t pay attention to Alex at all as he speaks. They seem a lot more interested in their fight than him. Meanwhile, Leo moves closer to the Pokemon and tries his own appeal. “You guys seem really tough! I bet if you guys came with us we’d win so many fights and just be best friends! What do you two think?”Leo’s words resonate with the Pokemon, and they stop their game to look at him. They rush over to the boy, and after they chatter with each other, they start tugging on his shirt and lightly punching him. They make laughing and happy-sounding noises as they do this. “I uh, think they like me.” Leo laughs. All of the ledges count as Slow Terrain (Mountain), and the shrubs, trees, and rocks are Rough Terrain (Mountain.) Tyrogue and Mankey now have a disposition of Friendly!

Alex chuckled, nodding. "I think you're right! Are you going to bring them both with you?" He grinned, trying hard to keep the edge out of his voice. He wasn't mad at Leo, not at all. This was good! He was just a bit annoyed that he'd been ignored completely. But whatever, maybe today just wasn't his day. He stood where he was, putting his hands in his pockets to keep them warm while Leo decided what to do.

At Alex’s comment, the Mankey screeches and shakes it’s head. It makes a few punching and kicking gestures, then looks at Leo. “Oh I get it! You guys want to fight to see how strong we are!” Leo says. The two Pokemon nod happily, showing that Leo figured it out. “If we win, will you guys come with us?” The two nod again. Turning to Alex, Leo remarks, “I don’t think I can take both of them at once...Do you wanna fight one?”
