"[color=6ecff6]Next in our line-up is Contestant #24, Johto 'Sea Hero' Shiranui Tsukiko![/color]"  Shiranui came out wearing a royal blue ninja outfit.
"Hoshi, I choose you!"  Lots of bubbles flew out of Hoshi's Poké Ball and coalesced into the Staryu.  "Start with Swift!"  Hoshi started spinning in the air and fired bright cyan stars that formed two concentric circles with the inner circle spinning in a retrograde direction and the other circle spinning in a prograde direction.  "Time to power up, Hoshi, catch!"  Shiranui threw a Water Stone at the spinning Staryu and once the stone made contact, Hoshi started to glow.  After forming an extra set of five limbs, the glow subsided to reveal a Starmie.

"Aquatic Catherine Wheel Combination!"  Using a combination of Hydro Pump and Rapid Spin, Hoshi spun very fast while shooting high-pressure blasts of water out of all ten of its limbs.  The Swift attack was caught in the water blasts and spun along in pace.  "Psywave!"  Hoshi conjured a bright white spinning five-pointed star that completed the design.  "Finish it with Thunder!"  Lightning struck the watery Catherine wheel and caused it to explode into a myriad of sparkles.  Hoshi landed at centre stage and uttered a cry.

Shiranui noticed that he was tied with Dawn in the scores.  He also saw that the stage was soaking wet after his appeal.  "[i]Well, any Pokémon who can use an Ice-type move can take advantage of this.[/i]" he mused to himself.
