Grand Festival Low Tier: Straight Standard

[DarkestLight]

Straight Standard

:: A room opens, and as you walk in. you notice the lack of anything awe inspiring or noteworthy. The audience sits far enough away behind a protective pane of energy, and the space you have to utilize is pretty adequate for anything. ::

K folks. Straight Standard. You know how this works. This is an Elimination Contest. 3 will be cut the first round, 2 the second and 1 from the final round!

So, let's get those appeals up. Your ref will be me

Houndoom Lover: 0/80

[Chris 2.1]

I'm using my [M] Empoleon, Tux.

surround yourself in a cleansing aqua ring. As the water sparkles around you boost up with an aqua jet and as you lose momentum, send the water spinning around you with a crackling shadow claw.

[Dragonis]

Alright Sasuke(hitmonlee), lets show everyone your Meteor Kick!

Start off by jumping p as high as you can with Hi-Jump Kick. Then turn it into a Blaze Kick as you start your descent. After that release a massive Earthquake as you land.

[Green Lanturn]

I think I will use my Mime, Jr (f) Chaka!

*a colorful little clown pops out of the pokeball* "Jrr!!"

OK Chaka, i want you to stand in the in center, and use double team to create a circle of other chakas, 4 of them if you can, and you will all set up light screen around you all, then fire off psybeams and hopefully, with the reflected beams, we will have a nice star shape formed!

[Houndoom_Lover]

Go, Baron Lord Blood Fist! (Male Carvanha)

As soon as you're out on the field, Aqua Jet towards the audiance at an angle so that you're in the air right before them, almost touching the protective pane, quickly split into four using Double Team, and then each of you use Hydro pump against the shield to push your fishy selfs across the field and back together again.

Aqua Jet~Double Team~Hydro Pump

[Rossymore]

Alright then, go Eifie my shiny, female Espeon.

Begin by levitating yourself in the air with Psychic then use Light Screen in four places around you facing at a slant towards the ceiling. Finally, finish with four Signal Beams that hits onto the Light Screens causing it to spread out and hit the ceiling in a dazzle of colour. Rotate the Light Screens, Signal Beams and yourself to give this room a bit more colour. It's so boring currently. Try and make it disco like.

Also, I'll dim the lights if possible.

[DarkestLight]

Jus waiting on Chaos and Grey.

[chaos_redefined]

I'll start off with my Aerodactyl. First, it uses Ancient Power to fling 3 rocks straight up. Then, it flies straight after them, and uses Steel Wing and Iron Tail to slice them all apart.

Ancient Power ~ Steel Wing+Iron Tail

Grand Festival!!!



*Fanfare plays*

Here we are everyone! The Epic stage that all Coordinators aspire for-the Grand Festival. We have quite a turn out this time; as well as an array of contests for them to test their mettle against each other.

I'll be reffing from atop this awesome floating flying disc so I can skim from arena to arena, keeping tabs on how things are working out. As for now, this is the Standard Arena! Lets make it happen out there!

Oh, big news.

#1: Chris 2.1 and Tux, Empoleon
Aqua Ring~Aqua Jet~Shadow Claw

The world renowned Chris 2.1 takes the spotlight and starts off this Festival-I already have high hopes for everyone here now. Tux waddles out by his side and begins. Extending his wings, Tux spins about and creates a watery ring around himself that levitates with him like a self revolving hula hoop. The aquatic bird then jets up, water trailing from both the ring and his arms.

Coming back down the way he came, Tux spins again, this time his wingtips are crackling with purplish energy. As he rotates through the water, he cuts through it, purple streaks weave themselves through the watery veil. People applaud as Tux lands!


#2: Dragonis and Sasuke
Hi Jump Kick~Blaze Kick~Earthquake

And next comes another strong contender! Sasuke seems eager to show off his stuff, and does so with a mightly Hi Jump Kick as soon as he runs in. Reaching the apex of his jump, his stretchy leg comes back and aligns itself toward the ground.

Pushing forward, the extended foot comes alive with fire, and Sasuke blazes downward. The powerful foot strikes the ground and causes a tremor to be released that even makes the crowd ground surf a tad. People applaud, and Sasuke bows before heading off.


#3: Green Lanturn and Chaka
Double Team~Light Screen~Psybeam

Next comes Chaka, a small lil Mime Jr, with big prospects here. Chaka stands in the center and begins dancing about in a circle. However, at certain points in his dance, a clone pops out from his side. When his dance is done, there are 5 Jr's, standing in a pentagon shape.

They all stop mimimg about and turn serious, each acting as if there is a wall blocking them from gtting closer to each other. The audience though notes that Light is bending weird around the Jr's-and its shown on the overhead monitors there are LightScreens up. Satisfied with the screens, the Jr's enact as if they're trying to break the panes, by firing off Psybeam. The beams do collide and refract perfect, creating a star shape that's very alluring, prismatic and intricate. Applause and Chak bows, clones evaporating.


#4: Houndoom Lover and Baron
Aqua Jet~Double Team~Hydro Pump

Yes yes, a fish is next. Flopping about, Baron..whao! Shot right past me and is heading straight for the crowd! It looks like he's gonna crash right into the crowd..but he then splits into 4 in mid-flight!

The menacing maw of 4 Carvanah's coming at the audience kinda freaked a few people out, but the thunderous blast of Water from "4" Hydro Pumps shocked some even more. As the waterfell off the barrier, people watched the fished all flip backwards and land together as one. Everyone clapped and cheered.


#5: Rossymore and Eifie
Psychic~Light Screen~Signal Beam

DJ QS. Dim the lights.....

Yes..alright now. As the arena loses some visibility, Eifei shines ont to stage. She jumps and instead of coming back down, stays aloft using a perful Psychic ability. Whilst in the air now, She creates a few Light Screens of her own, that begin to rotate as well as revolve around her.

Seeing as she's above the Light Screens and they're all slanted towards her, she then fires two sets of Signal Beams, one for each Screen. The Beams twilrl around each other and hit each screen, bouncing back up past Eifie and onto the ceiling, exploding into a briliant set of Red and Blue and Purple magic. The Screens also help the audience see a greater array of colors due to refeaction.

She lowers back down, and the lights go up. People clap loudly, they're likeing this Festival folks n_n.


#6: Chaos redefined and Aerodactyl
Ancient Power~Steel Wing~Iron Tail

Last but not least in the slightest, is Chaos. An Aerodactyl takes to the sky immediatly, and circles the crowd once before roaring, forcing Rocks of a sizeable nature to fly up. Speeding up, Aero flies under then and surges through the first one with his Right Steeled voer WIng.

The Second one is caught up to and Karate Chopped with his Left Steeled Wing.

Shooting off once more, as the Final Rock reached its apex, Aero completed a aerial backflip so his Iron tail would slam over the top of the rock and split it in two! He then fell with the split rocks, slowing his fall and landing gracefully whle the rocks fell with a crash. The audience approves and give everyone a standing applause.

That's round 1!!

~~Scores~~

#1) Chris and Tux
Score: 8.8/10

This is going to be a tough contest. Nice effect with the water-having the claws cut through the droplets...everything. Just a very clean and well thought out appeal..great start!

#2) Drag and Sasuke
Score: 9.0/10

Just comes out hitting hard. The one-two kick combo was amazing, and Hitmonlees are good at it. But the landing with the controlled Earthquake was awesome, even got the crowd to ride a wave. Good push there Drag!

#3) Green and Chaka
Score: 9.0/10

Light games are always good, and the intricate nature of yours was fun. The little dance at the beginning too was priceless. Best thing about it-it didn't take long to set up, making it seem very clean. Great Job.

#4) Houndy and Baron
Score: 9.3/10

That was great. It wasn't flashy. It was raw. Carvanah are raw. Straight power, really fast and fearsome. It was like a wet an wild water safari ride for the audience-which is why I think they enjoyed it that much. I like the effect of a pack of pirahnas there, so crazy!

#5) Rossy and Eifei
Score: 9.0/10

The light games are never ending. Though this seemed similar to Lanturns, you did two major things different. First off, you dimmed the lights to enhance the glowing effect. Second, you kept eveything dynamic-moving Screens, two tone beams, even Eifei was rotating. That's the main basis for why you kept the audiences' interest, otherwise they would felt like they saw it before.

#6) Chaos and Aero
Score: 8.6/10

Chaos. I'm....in awe right now. It was simple. Clean. Yet just watching an Aero break through rocks with that Steel laden Combo was pretty awesome. I'm not worried-that wa a great start for you.

End Notes

Everyone, great job so far. Seriously. This is only the first round and every appeal was already very well played. You can post your second rounds up!

Oh and uhh..I had a change of heart once I read though all these awesome appeals. Since we only have 6 people in this, I'm gonna change this one to an Accumulation Challenge. That good with everyone? So lets see the awesome!!!!

[Dragonis]

Quick question, do we have to use the same pokemon or can we switch it up?

[DarkestLight]

Sure. Swap. I'm cool with that.

[Dragonis]

Alright then, I'll send out Rui, my shiny female Gengar.

Rui, start off by making three to five fireballs with Will-o-Wisp. Then use your Psychic powers to make it look like your juggling the fireballs. After you've done that for a bit, 'throw' your fire up and spit a Slugde Bomb at it so it explodes.

[Chris 2.1]

I'm going to use Zaapp my Magnezone.

Start with a rain dance to get the rain lashing. Then use a mirror coat and shimmer as the rain trickles on your coat, before firing off a thunder, keeping your mirror coat up if you can.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Okay, Baron Lord Blood Fist, start off by jumping in the air with a spin and add to that Hypro Pump to your spin so you look like a spinning water ballon with a leak, and then change it to Ice Beam, keep it close to you while spinning so it forms a ball of ice. (<-fixing that horrible sentence)

This ball of ice will fall to the ground...Wait for a moment and start to use Thrash until the Ice Ball shattered in to a bajillion sharp ice shards that'll stick into the walls and bounce off the protective one.

Hydro Pump- Ice Beam- Thrash

(:3 I have an appeal block and now I'm nervous!)
