Unbraced and Magby
Will-o-Wisp~Confuse Ray~Flamethrower~Psychic~Helping Hand
Unbraced, our first contestant comes forth, bowing to the roaring crowd, and sends out his first pokeball to reveal a Magby! The red pokemon stands in a striking blend with the red sand, but his first moves contrasts it. He gathers one hand near his mouth and issues a blueish flame, holding it with one hand. Then, he starts issuing a glowing Orange Orb which he holds with the other. He throws both into the air and then lets out a bust of flame, awing the crowd. Suddenly, Magby starts glowing a purplish color, which immediately encircles both orbs in the air and keeps them in place. Unfortunately, the fire has mostly dissipated, but the smoke forms a nice line underneath the two orbs creating a face-like appearance. The crowd cheers as the glow vanishes and the orbs begin to fall, but Magby issues a stream of blue energy at them, causing them to grow and explode, blinding and dazzling the crowd, who is left speechless! Next contestant please!
Oslo and Starfy
Toxic~Frustration~Twister~Zap Cannon~Recover
And here comes Oslo! He sends out his own pokeball to reveal a Staryu named Starfy! Focusing on the water, Starfy issues a spew of purple liquid into the shallows, creating a murky, dirty water which he hops into and starts flailing in madness, this is one unhappy Staryu. The crows is wide eyes, as Staryu starts spinning rapidly creating a massive twister, also engulfing all the goop within it. All we can see is a blur within the massive storm, which is suddenly illuminated from within as electric energy zaps the entire twister creating a beautiful sparkly pillar, which finally falls, the goop gone. Starfy is nowhere to be seen, but then a glowing issues from the water, and a shiny form pops out of the water onto the beach. The glowing subsides, and the crowd hops into instant applause as there stands Starfy, sparkly and brilliant! On with the show!
Dogfish and Anenome
Stealth Rock~Light Haze along the floor~AincientPower+Lucky Chant~Psychic
Dogfish is next, and we walks briskly forward sending out his pokemon, a Corsola named Anenome. Anenome begins summoning a circle of ruby rocks to encircle her. She then casts a light black haze underneath her, which starts to dissipate quickly, but the crowds attention is not on that, its on the ruby rocks which have started to shake and rise and move away from the corsola, who is actually chanting, casting her magic spell. The crowd then gasps as a figure of red sand rises and creates a shape, what appears to be a legendary pokemon, which is quickly encircled by the rocks and are sent flying out to the see, slowly dissipating itself until there is nothing in sight, how lovely! Thank you, next please!
Darth Cookie Monster and Aquamarine
Surf~Ice Beam~Dragon Pulse~Psychic~Sit and Look Pretty
Darth Cookie Monster is next and he throws his pokeball into the water, revealing a Shiny Lapras aptly named Aquamarine. She starts off by summoning a massive wave, cuasing the crowd to shriek in terror before it suddenly stops, frozen by an ice beam. The crowd cheers, as Lapras issues a large sonic pulse shattering the Ice, which she catches and sculpts into a shell around her, making her the pearl of everyones eyes...and thats that!
Crazy Elf Boy and Halibel
Hail~Ice Beam~Crabhammer~Bubble Beam~Rain Dance
Our next Coordinator, CEB, steps forth and unleashes his pokeball to reveal Halibel, his female Corphish into the water. She summons forth a hailstorm, pelting everyone in the stands and me as well! She submerges, and the water above her freezes, which starts moving about onto the beach, collecting pieces of hail on top of it. This mass is surprisngly shattered with a strong crabhammer. Hailibel then issues a stream of bubbles, which burst as they collide with the hail appearing as rain, but wait, it IS raining, as we see the Corphish doing a lovely dance before making her final bow to an applauding audience!
Darkestlight and Rocksnot
Sunny Day~Power Gem~Magnet Rise+Sandstorm~Explosion
And next we have DL, who sends out his pokemon, a Probopass?! The odd selection starts things off by sending up a ray, causing the sun to shine bright and hot, adding to the beach scene. He then causes a form of glistening barrier around himself, almost like a tunnel, which he makes use of by rising high into the air and creating a storm of the red sand below him, with himself spinning on top, its spectacular. All this comes to a literal bang as Probopass explodes launching red sand into the barrier, which collapses and sends a flume of red sand down to the ground, along with the knocked out Probopass......lets continue on...
Chaos Redefined and Phillip
Magical Leaf~Light Screen~Double Team~Energy Ball~Psychic
Now we have Chaos Redefined whos pokeball opens to reveal a Mime! Phillip stars off by sending razor sharp leaves to chop down a couple branches from the nearby trees, and then carries them over and stands them up in the sand. Then, he uses his mime power to create a light barrier between the branches, creating a sort of volleyball arena! He suddenly glows, and splits up into a total of 4 mimes, two on each side. The real Phillip creates and energy ball, and lauches it over the "net" with a psychic attack, while his fellow Mime's do the same! It all comes down to a final spike, as the crowd roars with gusto! And now the final contestant please!
Ayeun and Beautifly
Morning Sun~Defog~Signal Beam~Captivate+Silver Wind
And our final Coordinator is Ayeun, who sends out a pretty shiny Beautifly to showcase! It starts off by using the power of the sun. She starts to glow as rays of sun issue from her, giving a nice warm feeling all around. Then, her wings glow Blue as she sends forth several blue waves, trying to clear out the nice beach air! She follows with a shining beacon out to sea, mimicking a lighthouse! The crowd ooh's as she issues several pink energy hearts around her and then has them flying around in a beautiful silvery wind as the first round comes to a close!

RESULTS!
Unbraced and Magby
A Nice appeal, and I definitely see what you were going for, even though it didnt work out as you probably envisioned it. The hard thing was the flames, which out in the open air, unless you're actually lighting something really dissipate fast, so thats why the smile was of smoke. And helping hand doesn't actually create hands, but is a helpful burst of energy from one pokemon to the next.
