Contests Waiter! More contests, please! (Level 2 Contest, Gem vs. Solosis vs. Duo)

[Dylando]

"Uhm, hello, everyone! I've been invited today to host this contest spectacular! I think I got it mixed up, though...? I thought this might've been some sort of cooking contest. Allow me to announce our contestants for today..."

"First off, we have Gem, and her Tough Metagross, Poipic!"

"Next, we have Solosis and their Blissey, Seraph!"

"Finally, we have Duo and his Dragapult, Jet!"

"Let's see what they have to show off! But before that, let's also introduce our judges!"

"I'm Ansha! They let me be here to judge the pokemon! I'm the Novice Judge."

"Hey! I'm Tilapia, and I'll be your waitress AND Seasoned Judge today."

"Greetings. I am Siebold, of the Kalos Elite Four. Tell me—don't you think Pokémon contests too, are worthy of being called art? I'll be your Master Judge for today."

"So, let's get cooking and show your stuff, contestants!"​

GemGem, Solosis, and Doduodrio to unveil
Dylando to make a 48 Hour Poll​

 

[Solosis]

​

Blissey calls Siebold onto the stage and asks him to lie down on a hospital bed–like prop. She then begins a playful doctor skit. First, she checks Siebold’s temperature and pulse and takes notes on her clipboard. Blissey listens to his heartbeat with a toy stethoscope and reacts dramatically, as if she hears something unusual. After that, she pretends to perform a “surgery” by tickling his belly. Finally, she gives him candies as if they were medicine. Once the skit is over, Blissey bounces joyfully :D

I am going to do a sick backflip.

Please don't, that's Meradi's* thing. When metagross try to do backflips, they don't seem to turn out well.


I have calculated a high chance of success if it is performed successfully.

That's clever, but we wanna show your toughness.


Tough luck.

*Poipic does a sick cartwheel. It's clunky and not at all what they said they'd do, but it somehow works out.*​

*Translator's note: Meradi is Maxim's Masquerain who likes doing sick backflips.

It's... a 3 way tie?! Well. Solosis takes the unveiling win!

Would you rather get an 11 score bonus, or decide the order of appeals?

"I wanna see more toughness!" (0/2)

"I agree! I do think Poipic could have shown off a bit more." (0/3)

Seem it's all tough this round!
