Plusle was searching through the crowd. Eventually she thought she might be where other contestants were. She slowly pokee legs to hoping to find emily
Eventually, Emily felt something poking at her leg - Talia's Plusle? "Hey, wh..." The note held up in the Plusle's hands seemed important. "Is that... for me?"
Plusle was happy to finally found Emily. As she ran up towards her to give the note. She sat on her shoulder to rest up. Note I know you can do it. Giv3 your best we will be cheering for you.
She smiled at the note. "Thanks, Plusle. And thanks, Talia. I'll go out there and make you guys proud." And you too, Gran and Robin back home...
"Goooood morning Hoenn!" yelled the announcer into a mic to a wave of applause and excited screaming from the crowd. "Welcome to our annual Grand Festival! From all over the land, Coordinator after Coordinator will be tested to see who is worthy of this year's Top Coordinator title!"
Serena took a deep breath. It was obvious she was very nervous Michelle looked at the sidelines. She was glad to see such turnout. She took the mic from a staff member waitinf for her cue
(The emergency round is something the organizers know about, right? Or is it a surprise trap for everyone except the Coordinators?)
(Yes, they know. It is just a part to train them if something ever bad happens again in the world. Little does anyone know, that something happens this very moment with Maxie, using a groudon that goes crazy (LIke in Pokémon colloseum) Not even Michelle knows anything about it)
(All right!) "Our first round will be the Preliminary Appeals once again - but this year, we've cut the second Appeal round for a new Emergency round instead. We'll finish it off with the traditional final battle tournament."
Talia blinked she wondered what this was all about. She thought back what Emily said. "Did she mean this. Does something might happen" she whispered plusle and minun were confused also by this
(She comes in near the end, to announce the trainers. He is like explaining and she announces trainers. )
(All right!) "In the Preliminary Appeal, Coordinators will go onstage and perform exactly one move that they believe best shows their Pokémon's skills. Afterwards, only the qualifying Coordinators will move on to the Emergency round. The Emergency round was formed due to... issues that have happened over a while, and thus Coordinators will show their ability to work with their Pokémon when the stakes may be higher. The Coordinators who perform the best in this setting will move on to the last round, the Battle Tournament, where skill and style collide. Now, let us meet our contestants." The announcer cued Michelle in with a hand movement behind his back.
''Thanks so much for the explaination. Now we We introduce our co ordinators. Now remember these are the top from everyone. They worked there way up here and showed every little details of there amazing Pokémon. Let's come meet them.'' Michelle said happily. As someone from beyond to wave, that they need it to follow them up stage. Serena took a deep breath and followed.
Emily took her place a few other Coordinators behind Serena and stepped out. The crowd itself wasn't bright, but with the context they were nearly blinding...
Michelle let them introduce them one by one. And eventually came to Serena. "So. Tell us. Who are you. Where are you from and what is your motivation to win." Serena felt getting red and almost loss at words. Shw closed her eyes for a moment and than said. "My name is Serena. Im from Saffron city in the Kanto region. And I want to win to make my dad proud wherever he is. So I hope he comes back to me and my mom" The crowd applauded. "That sounds like a great idea. Next up is..." After another round she was finally by Emily. "what is your motivation to win Where are you from? What is your name. And" Michelle said for like the 10th time. Even though it was obvious she was done with this line. Not noticing she messed up the order of questionss. She did her best not to let it show.
"Emily, Petalburg Town. I'm doing this to see if I really can." Of course, there was her family, but all of Hoenn didn't need to know that.
