With the aid of Skoll's speed, Oscar was able to get to the contest hall for registration quite quickly. Before going inside, Oscar hops off of Skoll and puts him inside his pokeball. He heads inside to look for the registration deck. Oscar takes a moment to admire the modest but flower and leaf motifs on the walls. There are nice potted plants, sparsely placed on tables and in strategic places. Oscar gives a weak smile before looking for the registration desk
.
After asking one or two other people, Oscar finds the registration desk and asks the lady behind the desk to enter the contest in a few days. Oscar was handed some forms and a pen. Oscar takes them and goes to a free table and starts to fill out the forms with the details and equipment.

Meanwhile, Liam also enters the contest hall. He had been looking forward to this for a while. They didn’t have Contest Halls back home in Galar. Liam was disappointed about that, because they looked like so much fun from what he had seen of them on the telly. Getting to groom your Pokémon, and showing off how fabulous they are in front of a live studio audience? What was there not to love? However, now that he traveled to the Kosei region, Liam would finally get his chance to take part in one.

After approaching the registration desk, he was handed some papers to fill out and a pen. Ugh, paperwork. How boring… But it had to be done. He sits at a free table next to another boy who was also filling out paperwork. Liam’s face lit up. Well, at least the paperwork wouldn’t be so boring after all. Not when there was a cute boy to talk to! He approached the other boy who was filling out his papers. [color=pink]“Hey, mate!”[/color] He said with a smile and a wave. [color=pink]“Are you entering the Contest too? Oh wait, silly question. Of course you are! You wouldn’t be here if you weren’t. I’m Liam by the way. It looks like we’re going to be rivals! This will be so much fun. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never done a contest before. They look fabulous!”[/color]

Oscar looks up from his form and gives a smile as he gets a break from the tedious paperwork. [colour=green]”Nice to meet you, Liam. My name is Oscar. Have you just arrived in town? Also, You are correct that I am partaking in the contest. I have my pokemon chosen, basic routine outline and outfit being tailored. This is my first official one but my parents were semiprofesional coordinators back in Hoenn so I know what to do and expect.” [/colour] Oscar looks down at the paperwork and thinks back to all the spectacular performances in Hoenn. 

 [colour=green] “So do you have an idea what you are going to do? I can show you my chosen pokemon but only outside as he is a big boi. ”[/colour] Oscar smirks as The boy across from him is going to be surprised at Skoll’s size and fluff and regal appearance. Oscar hopes that the audience will have a similar positive reaction thou Skoll has to be trained properly for the routine but they have a few days for that at least.

Liam was glad that Oscar replied in a friendly manner. Half the time when he tried to chat up a stranger, they responded with disdain. [color=pink]“Yes, I did just get here! It’s also my first contest, ever. We don’t have contest halls back home in Galar. It’s sad… But from what I’ve seen, they look like so much fun! And I’m dying to give it a go.”[/color]

Liam bit his lip when Oscar asked if he knew what he was going to do. The truth was he didn’t. He was a complete novice when he came to contests. He wasn’t going to let that bother him. [color=pink]“Well, I have an outfit picked out but… I don’t really know what I’m going to do. I’ve never been in a Contest before. I’ll just wing it I suppose… What’s the worst that could happen? I’d love to see your Pokémon. I can show you mine too. I have no idea which one I’m going to enter. All three of them are cuties!”[/color]

Oscar nods and finishes up his paperwork before waiting for Liam. [colour=green]”Maybe I can give some pointers on what to choose when I See them outside. I am waiting for you to finish up then we can go outside.”[/colour] Oscar doesn't mind giving free advice if the boy across from him accepts it unlike other people he has encountered. [colour=green]”I was planning maybe going over to the gym and get a battle or two in before retiring for the day. Maybe even battle the gym leader too.”[/colour]

Liam quickly finished up the paperwork. It was all basic information anyway. [color=pink]“Oh right, this town has a gym too. I want to try that also.”[/color] He stopped after the paper asked the Pokémon he was going to use. [color=pink]“Hmm… They’re asking the name and species of Pokémon I’m going to enter… Um… I might need those pointers…”[/color] He took out his three Pokeballs, and released the Pokémon inside. A Mimikyu, a Galarian Ponyta, and a Brionne. [color=pink]“I’m not sure which of them to enter. My favorite Pokémon are Fairy types. I want to be a Fairy type Master, and have my own Gym one day.”[/color] He pointed to his Brionne. [color=pink] “Primadonna here is the obvious choice. She was born to put on a show, but that might be a little too obvious.”[/color]

The Brionne looked offended by the fact that she wasn’t the immediate choice to compete in a contest, and crossed her fins, and turned her nose up in disgust.

Liam then pointed to his Ponyta. [color=pink]“Rarity deserves a chance to shine too.”[/color]

Rarity kicked her legs up, and whinnied in agreement, which also offended Primadonna.

Meanwhile, Boo the Mimikyu hid behind Liam’s leg and quivered in fear.

Liam giggled, and patted the Mimikyu on the head. [color=pink]“And that’s Boo. He’s my first Pokémon. As much as I would like to, I don’t think I’ll be entering him. He’s kind of shy. He’ll fall apart in front of a big audience. Who do you think I should enter?”[/color]
 Oscar studies the three unfamiliar pokemon and thinks about improv routine ideas on the spot for them. [colour=green]”Well, They can both shine together if you can use both in one routine but if you are choosing one, I would choose Rarity on the grounds that you can make a routine thing like juggling, archery or the like more impressive while riding on Rarity. ”[/colour] The Broinne might not like his choice but Oscar is giving him the best chance of getting the audience's attention as easily as possible with what Liam has atm.

Oscar takes a breath and takes out one pokeball and releases an arcanine. The big fluffy doggo stretches lightly before sitting, barking and panting happily while looking at Oscar expectantly. The arcanine towers over most people and other pokemon at 1.8 meters or 6’03” feet. [colour=green]”This is Skoll. He has recently evolved and needs to be trained before he is ready for the planned routine but I am planning to stun the crowd by defying gravity in a way with his speed. ”[/colour] 

[color=pink]“You make a good point.”[/color] Liam replied. [color=pink]“Besides, a lot of people here have probably never seen a Ponyta from Galar before!”[/color] He then patted his Brionne. [color=pink]“Sorry Prima. You’ll get a chance to shine next time.”[/color]

Primadonna pouted and turned her nose up in disgust.

Oscar then showed off his giant Arcanine, and Liam’s eyes went wide. [color=pink]“Wow! He’s bigger than me! Of course, that isn’t saying much. Everything is bigger than me!”[/color] Liam laughed at his own expense. [color=pink]“He’s so fluffy too!” You’re going to do great!”[/color] He gave Oscar a thumbs up gesture.

[colour=green]”If you are impressed with him now, wait til you see him in action. Anyways, I am going to the gym. Want a lift on Skoll? We will get there quickly after handing in our paperwork.” ”[/colour]  Oscar goes and hands in his forms before heading to the door and wait for Liam to see if Liam wants to come with him on Skoll. 

[color=pink]“Sure! Just need to finish the papers…”[/color] Liam finishes his paperwork, and hands it in. Then walks to the door and waits for help getting on the giant Arcanine.

Oscar helps Liam onto Skoll before getting on too. Oscar makes sure that Liam is holding onto Oscar’s torso so he doesn’t fly off before telling Skoll to head toward the gym. They arrive there in no time and as such, Oscar gets off and helps Liam off too before heading inside with Skoll still out of his ball.
