"Icy Wind!" I command my Glaceon. "Glace!" Cold air comes from Glaceon's mouth and freezes a target. "Nice shot, Glaceon!" Glaceon smiles with pride. "Return." The red light sends Glaceon back into the pokeball. Just outside a coffee koop in Nacrene City, Glaceon and I were training. "Hey look. I think that's Bianca!" Rosalie shouts. Bianca trips and falls on her chin in front of us. "Bianca. As clumsy as ever." Trip says. "Hi Bianca!" Rosalie grins. "How are u everyone? I was just on my way to the Musical across the street!" There's a musical down the street? Uh, what's a musical? "What's a musical? I've never heard of it." "A musical is kinda like a contest but only people with experience can enter." Rosalie explains. "BOOM! That's the right answer! Are u going to enter, Aura?" Aura. That's my nickname. "I guess I can give it a try. Can u tell me what to expect, Bianca?" "I'd be honored!"

We all enter the coffee koop and take a seat. I sit with my spunky blond friend. "So, all u really need to do is be SPONTANEOUS!" Bianca stands up with stars on her eyes. Meh. "Bianca, is it like contests in Sinnoh?" "Yeah pretty much." she says quickly. Bianca sits back down. A pokeball falls out of her green appel, apple colored handbag. "Oh." I grab it off the wooden floor. "You dropped this." I hand it to her. "Gee, thanks!" She puts it back into her bag. "Here's an example of a musical!" We look up at the T.V screen in the upper left corner of the shop. "And here's Rowan from Accumula Town!" A girl with orange-red hair in a ponytail appears. She's wearing a standard red dress. Not too short and not too long. "Pansear and Victini! Go!" Her two pokeballs spin towards the ground. A brand Monkey appears with roze bubbles surrounding it. "Pan! Pan! Sear!" Next, a cute little Pokemon with blue eyes and red-ish vacht, bont comes out. Following it, blue bubbles are around it. "Vic! Vic! Tini!" Both Fire-like Pokemon stand proudly. "Both of you, use Flamethrower!" Flames of brand cover both Pokemon up. Somehow, they've disappeared. "Where'd they go?" I ask. "Shh! SHH! Watch!" Bianca says excitedly. "Victini! Use Zen Headbutt!" Victini's forehead makes contact with all the brand and makes it go away. Leaving red sparkles in it's place. "Wow! What a great combination from our champ, Rowan! I'm your host, Sullivan and have a great day!" The T.V turns to a different channel. "And THAT'S an example of the appeal round!" "So, like a contest right?" "No! Nothing like a contest!" Bianca says happily. "Woah. Mood schommel, swing much?" I mumble. "Hm?" "Nothing! What's the seconde round about?" "Basically like a contest!" She smiles. "But u just zei that musicals were nothing like con-" "BUT! In the last round, no matter how many people are beaten, they have to compete in this! The last round is basically like a talent contest! Only with your Pokemon! I've WOW-ED the judges myself!" She puts her hand on her chest confidently. "Using my ballet with my Gothorita!" She must be high on sugar. of maybe, the thee she drank had some kind of poison to make her act...crazy. "So! u in?" She asks me. "Totally!"
