Sapphire gets a similar amount of applause to Cass, and the crowd seems not all that impressed at Amber. "Thieving bugger... Well that sure was a hell of an opener! Lets see what everyone else makes of the centre stage!" Everyone is shuffled around leaving Cass on the centre stage, right in the middle of all of it, and the first up.

Cass looks a little nervous as she steps up, but with an affirmative nod from Zach, she takes a deep breath. The flames on her back surge, pushing warmth into the air as she opens her mouth and begins to spew flame directly upwards. It takes a moment for everything to come into view, but after a few jets of flame, the picture is clear. She's painted a rose with her flames, glittering in the air as it gently floats down. After a few more moments pass, the flames dissipate and the rose is gone. With that, she bows and shifts a bit, ready for the next move! Ember! Steady Performance 5, Voltage 1,Beauty type 1 Beauty Dice 3. Voltage +1 due to move.

Cass gets some big applause for that one! Amber is next, she disappears underwater and seems to point herself upward. A layer of frost grows outward from the centre, and then upward into a prismatic appearance. Amber then lets the structure collapse in a dance of lights. Icy Wind - Desperation 5, +1 voltage, +1 beauty 7XgFSu567d6 Curly is up next. She decided to do a similar move to her intro, blowing powdery snow straight down so it dances outwards. This time she spins as she does so the snow has a dancing appearance! Steady Performance 5, +1 Beauty 6d6 +1 voltage Finally Sapphire is up. She takes advantage of her good positioning, and tries to block out Cass and Amber by producing a mist that lessens visibility Sabotage 3, +1 voltage, +1 beauty, 5d6 produces fumble points 7d6·6d6·5d6

That mist really puts a shame to this rounds appeals! Still though, Cass is gaining position, and just has to knock Curly off her pedestal. This round sees Cass going last, and placed beside Curly and Sapphire, with Amber at the far end. Sapphire starts off! She bares her teeth and ambition, blowing out several snow crystals that she then chomps out of the air! Steady Performance 5, +1 Voltage, +1 Tough Dice kaT7J2xJ7d6 +1 Voltage Curly is next, and she curls into a ball, covers herself in ice and starts doing some serious donuts, sparking off ice chips as she does. Reliable 3, +1 voltage, +1 beauty [5d6] Amber goes third, and she swims around her pool shooting some of the remaining bits of ice from the last trick high into the air with bursts of water. Steady Performance 5, +1 voltage 6d6 +1 voltage Cass is up to finish the round fumbled roll, curly5d6 7d6·6d6·5d6

Cass steps up to the plate, and wiggles cutely, aiming to literally steal the spotlight from the other competitors! She lets out a little cry, and manages to get some of the attention off of the competition! Attention Grabber +1d6, Cute Die +1d6, Voltage +2 5ZGz|LaJ4d6 Each competitor loses up to 2 voltage, which Cass gains. 4d6

Despite Curly and Sapphires own nice appeals, Cass gets the crowds attention the most. The contestants rearrange themselves, and you notice Sapphire eyeing Curly threateningly... Amber is first up! A multicoloured glow appears in her mouth, and then shoots out over the crowd, coating teh cieling in multi-spectral reflecting light and creating a localised aurora! Exhausting Act 4+2, +2 voltage +1 beauty +3 beauty die NpP6P12D12d6-2 voltage Next Sapphire blows yet another mist, trying to destroy Curly's huge lead! Sabotage 3, +1 beauty, +3 beauty die 7d6deals fumble [Cass is next. She has 1 beauty die left and 4 voltage but what's this?] 12d6·7d6

Cass looks to Zach,who seems to be conflicted about which order to give her next. Without waiting for his command, she steps up, a small light radiating from her as she takes a deep breath and her back releases a torrent of flame into the air. It burns so hot that it actually begins shifting colors, leaving the audience in awe before the cinders finally flutter down to reveal... Cass is evolving?! Ain't seen nothing yet 8d6 +4 voltage +1 beauty +1 beauty die QGkOZcco14d6 14d6

"Wow what an amazing final round!!! And congratulations to Cass on evolving! Llts have a round of applause as our trainers line up with their Pokémon"
The judges seem to have a harder time deliberating their final marks, but finally one steps forward. "In 4th place, Toren and the vicious tiger Sapphire with 16 total!" Toren gently pets the tiger as they receive their marking "In 3rd place, gathering an impressive 29 points is Lucio and Amber!" Lucio holds Amber like a gun again, assuming a victory pose "Just ahead of them in second place is Zach and his Quilava Cass with 30 points!" "And managing to just pull ahaed with a consistent high appeal throughout, Kiara and Curly with 35 points!" Kiara hugs Curly and holds her at chest level as she waves happily to the crowd
"Lets hear it for everyone, and we will see you again tomorrow for more dazzling performances!" After some more applause, Zach is led back out through the backstage to the lobby with the others, where Adri is waiting.
[Cass gains 30 exp, and a nice blue ribbon to mark her placing]

Zach chuckles, picking up his new Quilava and giving her head a gentle rub as they make their way back to the lobby. Second place wasn't bad for someone who never prepared for contests. "Well I think you were number one, Cass." He nods, looking over to Kiara again and waving a bit. Maybe he should go talk to her... Seems they'd met twice now, so did that make them rivals, or was it just happenstance? He didn't really plan to do too many contests in the future though, since he figured he probably wasn't going to win any without a LOT of practice and preparation. While the contest circuit WOULD raise awareness of him and his pokemon, winning the championship would rocket him into the stars. Now that he was thinking about his shop, a problem made itself known. How was he going to take care of the scraps? He wanted a completely self-sufficient shop, and not everything could be recycled back into fertilizer... Maybe Adri would have an idea! But for now, he approached Kiara, Cass wrapped around his neck and yawning lightly.
"Good job out there! It was pretty close today, huh?"

"Oh hey! Yeah I was worried for a moment after your evolving trick! Didn't expect something like that! Great job! Have you been on the contest circuit long?"

Zach chuckles, nodding. "Yeah, I thought I had it with that. This is my... second contest!" He nods, giving his Quilava a gentle scritch behind the ears. "They said they needed another participant as I was walking in so... I gave it a shot! I dunno if I'm cut out for it though, I don't really have the money for poffins..." He chuckles, patting his ingredient pouch. "Cooking is expensive!"

"Hehe, yeah, they definitely help" Kiara grins. "I've been training Curly up just for these. I'm planning to take on all the contests! Maybe even try out the Hoenn circuit afterwards! You shouldn't give up though. You can only get better and you've certainly caused me trouble so far. 2nd place, especially in a four person contest, is really good." She gives an encouraging smile to go with her advice

Zach nods, mulling over her advice. "I may take another look should the opportunity present itself... I think Adri's waiting on me, so I should probably go! I've got a stall in town for the week if you wanna stop by!" He offers politely, already thinking of what to make for her to celebrate her victory.

"In the market just outside? Oh I might take a look! Well bye for now then!" She replies, letting him head on back to Adri. The two off you then make your way back to the Pokémon Center to meet everyone. [On a different day. later on, Zach experiences a challenging encounter in the marketplace]
