"I think she will," Emily replied. "She's a Coordinator too, after all. Besides, she's here for the Grand Contest, so it's probably safe to say she's competing."
"Maybe I already asked but did she win last time??" Talia grabbed two plates and put some berries on a plater
"The Grand Festival? Oh... I'm not sure, but she's definitely won a lot of regular Contests. She's been to several other regions, after all."
"Amazing. the only 2 places I still need to visit is Kalos and Alola" Talia said dreamy. "where have you been??
The young girl wasn't exactly sure how to respond, so she fell into silence for a while, Taillow on her shoulder.
"It totally is. I only double battle. so bring one more out unless you think combuskem is very strong"
(I think probably a couple of attacks would be good? they probably don't want to knock each other out, after all. Talia's obviously more skilled, so she'd probably be able to easily take Emily down, if this is a battle until someone faints.) Combusken flinched as he took the brunt of the powered-up attack, but Taillow had it worse as a Flying-type. They quickly recovered, and with a command from Emily, a combined Growl and Sand-Attack lowered the strength of their opponents.
