Here are my votes. Unlike what some people will do, I voted on what I thought was the best overall rap and did not just quickly glance over them and bold the person with the most badges. I wanted to reward the people who go to the next round based on ability in this round, and I'd expect you all to do the same thing. If I didn't vote for you or if I said something, please don't get mad or angry, I'm just doing my job.
I honestly really enjoyed everyone’s raps except for one (cough cough Rodan's), and I look forward to a better round two!
I'd also like to say that I'm going with Blaziken again next round if i make it, but I would like to reserve Pelliper for later rounds.

Icepick (Beedrill)
SalTheThief (Jirachi)
This one was close, as Icepick had a few good lines, but Sal was a little bit more consistent throughout his song. Since this is the best overall rap and not the best line in a rap, I went with Sal.
---------------------------
Da Letter EL (Furret)
Temperantia (Honchkrow)
Da Letter El was kind of the easy choice here. Not because it was my favorite, but because Temp's rap kind of felt rushed and very last minute as the rhymes were sometimes not even close to being actual rhymes. Not only that, but Temp's rap was kind of a direct response to El's rap which is weak.
-------------------------------
Deck Knight (Octillery)
Darkie (Raikou)
Though there was no beat in the recording, Deck Knight's lyrics were very well thought out and not as simplistic as Darkie's.
---------------------------------
Corkscrew (Magikarp)
Garchompzilla (Garchomp)
Honestly, I didn't think either of them were any good, but I'm voting for Corkscrew because he put the time in to recording.
-------------------
Strawhat Luffy (Hax)
vonFiedler (Arcanine)
So neither person recorded, but I don't like to waste a vote when so little people actually voted on this. VonFiedler had some really good lines and made me laugh a few times when reading it while Straw didn't do that for me. Wish they were recorded to get the full effect, but as they are, I'd go vonFiedler.
-------------------------
ChillMurray (Pikachu)
ButteredToast (Blaziken)
This is of course biased and I'm going to vote for myself. but let me say that even though I couldn't record mine in the time frame given, I at least put the time into doing something to go along with my lyrics even though it was kind of weak. I got a solution to my recording problems for next round just if you guys were wondering.
-------------------------------------
Fatecrashers (Skiploom)
Pwnemon (Slowbro)
I don't get what everyone sees in Fatecrashers rap. The only thing good about it was the fact that it only took up 45 seconds of my time. It's not as bad as Rodan’s rap, but it's right up there and you could tell the time was not in it. Pwnemon's rap was not as bad as Fates, but I think it was way too basic. But hey, it got my vote...
------------------------------------
Furosuto (Heracross)
Walrein (Walrein)
Walrein recorded and did his own beat. Nothing left to say, end of contest.
-------------------------------
Ulttimaa (Reuniclus)
Ralts (Heatran)
Pardon the whisper shit which served as the intro and exit, the rap itself was pretty good. Love to see what you come up with next turn if you get in.
-------------------------
Aviator99 (Rotom-C)
Nanoswine(Mamoswine)
The two songs were pretty much a tie in my opinion because they were both really good. But I don't like to waste votes, so I based this off of the best line, and Nano won with "Your rhymes are like Leaf Storm: one weak-ass hit then you're done/I shoot off Ice Shards like a lyrical machine gun." This literally was the closest competition in this whole thing.
-----------------------
Spartan123 (Zoroark)
Rodan (Cryogonal)
So I honestly didn't even need to listen to Spartans rap to make this decision. He could have only written down "Rack City Bitch" as his lyrics and he would have won. Honestly Rodan? A 28 second entry with some shit beat. I smell a troll...
SalTheThief (Jirachi)
This one was close, as Icepick had a few good lines, but Sal was a little bit more consistent throughout his song. Since this is the best overall rap and not the best line in a rap, I went with Sal.
