[color=c4df9b]"Gladion... I'm Sierra, nice to meet you, I think."[/color] Sierra said. [color=c4df9b]"And Pokemon Contests, well..."[/color] She started when another voice was heard and another trainer arrived. [color=bc8dbf]"Pokemon Contest?"[/color] Asked the newcomer Luna. [color=bc8dbf]"Sorry, I just couldn't help but hear you talking about that. I'm Luna... what's with that look?"[/color] She asked, looking at Gladion. [color=c4df9b]"Right, I was about to explain what a Pokemon Contest is... It's different than Gym Battles by far. It has two rounds, an Appeal Performance, and an Appeal Battle."[/color]

She began to speak more confidently. [color=c4df9b]"The Performance Round is where a Coordinator shows off their Pokemon by having them perform amazing move combinations that wow the audience. If they make it past that, they make it to the battle round, but it isn't a normal battle. The goal isn't to defeat your opponent, but to outstyle them in battle using moves that make them shine."[/color] She finished. [color=c4df9b]"In Viore they're one of the most popular things, next to the Viore League Conference that is..."[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]"That sounds kinda neat..."[/color] Luna said, having been listening the whole time quite intently. [color=bc8dbf]"So this Region has these Gyms that are kind of like the Island Trials back home, along with Contests..."[/color] She said, now thinking about what exactly she DID want to do here. She'd come to train and get stronger to face the Island Trials again, but now she was faced with a fork in the road.

[color=00aeef]<I'm here because she's here, and there's no place I'd rather be.>[/color] The Popplio stated, jumping down from Luna's arms to look up and meet the gaze of the Sivally before her. [color=f7941d]<Wait, so your trainer is a veteran but he only brought you? That's kinda weird...>[/color] Said Fennekin, with the small group of young Pokemon beginning to crowd around the Sivally. [color=f49ac2]<Be nice, Fennekin... well, I guess she does have a point, wouldn't he want to grow stronger with all his friends?>[/color] Deerling asked.
