While Emily didn't take notice of the Pokémon... Taillow did. After a swift look at her Trainer, she chirped a hello.
"Huh? Who's thi-" Emily fell silent when she turned and saw the Delcatty. ...I should've seen this coming.
"Hi. You must be... we've met before, right Delcatty?" Emily was stalling for time at this point here.
"Huh, yep. I... oh, looks like it's our turn soon - sorry!" Emily glanced at the two or so people ahead of her in line, hoping they wouldn't be long. Which they would be.
The delcaty blinked and went back to her master that wasn't far away. Serena felt nervous when she noticed her Delcatty. ''So where have you been?''
Serena turned around. ''Hey Emily, is this also almost your last? i am so nervous. Best of luck.'' she smiled, she took a deep breath and ran on stage when her name was said.
Delcatty rushed behind her and jumped from behind Serena on stage. "Dellcatty swift and than iron tail" as she knocked all stars into the air to make a blast of small glitters surrounding them. After that she used a quick attack to rush past the star. Serna took a deep breath and smiled as the performance was over
Swift, Iron Tail, and Quick Attack... Emily made sure to keep this in mind. Combusken versus... what was the fire cat's name... had turned in her favor, but bringing Taillow up against an evolved Pokémon would make it far more difficult. Taillow, still perched on her Trainer's shoulder, was silent as she waited for their turn onstage.
Serena got decent scores as she ran back with a red face. "That was intense. Nice work delcatty. Good luck emily" as she passed them she hold her shoulder for a moment . Mostly to show that she wasnt mad and was sorry for the wat she acted
"Ah, thanks. Nice job to you, too," Emily replied after a short pause, slightly startled. It seemed she was up next, though, so she tried her best to keep a confident stance as she walked onstage with Taillow on her shoulder.
''ANd now from our own petalburg city, here is Emily with her taillow'' the crowd were clapping, and hyped for what would happen.
Emily stepped forward, Taillow swooping in confidently from her shoulder. Directed by her Trainer, the swallow flew up high into the air, starting with Focus Energy, a harsh blue glow surrounding the Pokémon, before rushing into a Quick Attack, swooping about the stadium with extreme speed, the blue glow disappearing and replaced with a white flash. She finished with a Peck, spinning high into the air with beak sharpened, when the routine ended.
The audiance went wild. "That was amazing. Lets see what the judge says" as a few moments later the points came in. "Middle of a 8"
(Ah, so sorry I never got the notif for this!) Emily left the stage with a smile, giving a relieved sigh once she was backstage. She'd never done a projectile-less performance before, so to see that Taillow had done well was good enough for her - even if she didn't make it to the next round.
(Do ya have this thread watched? and no worries) the next few trainer did also do a decent work, ''We return to you, in 10 min to see which competitors go to the next room'' the main said. Serena sat some what away from the rest. trying to get ready but she was shaking a little
