Celebrity Brianna is in need of fresh entertainment!
Being well known was wonderful, and Brianna smiled and waved pleasantly to the masses that recognized her from magazines, advertisements, movies and what have you. People even came up to her for autographs. It was a hectic day, and finally towards the end of it, Brianna found herself bored. It would be interesting to see what these commoner coordinators could show to her. She quickly tapped someone on the back.
"Excuse me, peasant. I heard you were moderately stylish. Entertain me and maybe I'll reward you." Her smile flashed, as dazzling as it always was for the cameras.
open to all classes that think they can put on a show while battling! (not just coordinators). rewards will be given to those who complete! preferably ONE contender

Peasant?
He has to stare at that. No one has called him a peasant since... Ever. It makes him pause and seize up the person. Except he does go a little moon-eyed at the sight of a celebrity. The irritation stays however, underneath it all, but he can't quite say no to a challenge. The festival's just kicking off, and it would seem out of spirit to decline when an opportunity so readily presents itself.
I've been called worse, he finds himself thinking.
"Entertain you? It would be my pleasure." He says through a dazzling smile. He's never really put on a show before, but it never hurt to try. Really, the only pokemon he can think of that would have any appeal at all would be Praline. But perhaps Rush could shine, briefly. Silva was a lost cause, fucker had no charisma.

The girl smiled at the man's smile, amazed that she had found a well-behaved and well-groomed peasant today. Half of them smelled like the dirty fish they ate, honestly. She gave the kindly gentleman her hand, obviously so he could kiss it to commence their meeting. After that was out of the way she threw a pokemon and out came her first battler, her Roselia. The pokemon glowed white, shrouded in beauty as it began to make ready itself.
"Well then? Don't keep a lady waiting."

As per his original plan, Togekiss is first out, Praline doing his usual entrance of just appearing there. Mildly disappointing no doubt, but it wasn't as though Praline had been ready. Well, he'd simply have to make up for the lackluster entry.
"Alright Praline, we're in a different type of battle, feel free to flaunt yourself." He half wonders if Praline would understand, but the pokemon nods all the same, smiling that dopey smile before turning his attention back to the Roselia.
Two growth would make the Roselia hit stronger than usual, but Elijah hazards a guess that Praline could probably take it. None of Praline's attacks are particularly flashy, a gamble was in order.
"Alright Praline. Ready a Metronome and move into an Air Slash."
Praline pulls up a little, glowing a faint gleam on his Metronome. After a moment, the metronome morphs into a Disable, a gleam in Praline's eye as stares the Roselia down, trying to scare it from using another growth. In a movement of soaring wings, he launches an air slash after the Disable, making sure to stretch his wings to appear that much more intimidating.

Brianna enjoyed the sight of a togekiss in the air, and remembered her golden days were she too would mount one of those pokemon into contests. Ah, good times. And then the pokemon's eyes glowed, and Brianna scowled. She wasn't exactly liking this man's so called 'entertainment.'
"Bianca, don't fall for such crude attacks!" THe contest- trained roselia dodged out of the air slash without so much as looking at its opponent. Battling moves were too obvious and lacked then subtle grace of coordinating. It was disgusting. "Let your light shine!" Brianna proclaimed, a little too theatrically as her pokemon danced on the ground, using poison sting as it maneuvered.

Judging by all the booing, Elijah didn't think he was doing so hot. He can't help but be confused about it, never really one to put on a show, he's never really thought much about battle appearances. What he does know is that sparkles was what got most people's attention, however Praline was a little short on sparkles.
He can't say its a good light show, except the little poisonous barbs are coming for Praline at an alarming rate. He'd have to get creative fast. "Double backflip into an air slash, add a twist. Flaunt it. Circle back and finish with a charm." Comes the order. There's slight hesitance in Praline, but he follows anyway. He shoots towards the sky, the first barrage of poison stings breaking his concentration but at least it means the second attack doesn't make contact. Praline flips through the sky, a final spin before a quick flash of white wings.
The Togekiss is starting to get it, as he does another daring twirl that would have costed him speed in battle but looked more appealing than a regular glide. He attempts a charm, a sway from side to side, and circle back for effect, before wincing from the residual poison.

The poisoning was most unfortunate- pokemon with status effects could very rarely amount to much in contests, despite their natural appeal. The extra backflipping and twirling earns a smile from the celebrity, showing she's happier but not quite there yet. The air simply isn't the kinf od thing she likes, although she can't deny that it is well done. The airslash practically throws the roselia onto the ground, and Briana winces in dramatic pain with her pokemon. "Oh, Bianca!" She shouts, hand clutching her heart.
The air slash makes the Roselia flinch, but it tries to overcome the pain by using a quick abosrb and trying to get some health back. The pokemon glows and twirls as if the pain is nothing. All just practice and perfection.
celebrity brianna is somewhat excited! roselia flinches! roselia uses abosrb!

He couldn't repeat the same thing twice, that would just be unsightly. But at least the air maneuvers seemed to have pulled him into a better position, despite the fact that the large gestures were certainly taking it's toll on Praline's efficiency. Somehow he's gained a better appreciation for the coordinators on television, they're movements graceful whereas Praline's are clunky.
Vaguely, he wonders if he should work maneuvers with Praline, it seemed a worthy endeavor, and Praline looked liked he was having great fun.
The Roselia looked like it was about to keel over, the absorb barely healing the grass type up considering the type disadvantage, which meant that Elijah could use it as an opportunity as a gamble. He's revealed one move, air slash, but metronome in itself was special. A surprise for both of them. "Metronome it, Praline. Don't worry about efficiency, have fun with it."
Praline nods, and spreads his wings with another Metronome. He soars forward, the metronome turning into a cut as his wings seem to sharpen. He's heading straight for the Roselia, turning at the last moment, letting the following air current cut at the Roselia.
Another metronome he flips back, this time, a dark void. Darkness seems to envelop the Togekiss, his white body suddenly shrouded in dark tendrils. As if the dark shadows have their own, they strike at the Roselia's feet, casting shadows along the field.

The celebrity screams in frustration as the male simply doesn't get it. Risk was beautiful when it acutally held some kind of fruit- this was just plane stupid. But the the dark void appears and Brianna smiles for the first time- it's terrifying, thrilling. New! The metronomes destroyed her Roselia, and she was forced to recall Bianca. She had wanted someone to put on a show but she was afraid that no one could have what she liked. The next pokeball came out and Briana huffed and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Alright, Portia, play nice~" The Plusle that appears looks at the togekiss and smiles brightly, walking over to the pokemon and rolling around the floor, which earns a lot of ooohs and aaaahs from the crowd. After playing around with the Togekiss it goes up to the pokemon and nuzzles against it, again making the crowd melt at its sweetness.

He cringes for Praline. Not entirely down for the count, he wasn't looking so hot either. The play nice was hardly effective but he could see how the crowd was enchanted by cheap tricks. Perhaps he could use that later on as well. But for now he has to recall the Togekiss. The nuzzle does its job, shooting sparks throughout the Togekiss's body and harming him at the same. It's not too strong, not from a tiny pokemon like Plusle, but he's much more worried with the paralyze.
So he does the humane thing and recalls Praline. "Next up, Silva." Vaguely why most of his pokemon can keep afloat but that's hardly anything to worry about.
Silva bursts forth, unsheathing himself from his held sheath as he bursts out. At least Silva's one of the pokemon who's a lot better at understanding creative instructions.
"Sharpen and weave."
The sword pokemon holds himself up, a glimmer of steel and power as he shines with the sword dance, strength coursing through his metal. With practiced movements he weaves left and right for the Plusles, bringing himself down on the electric rat in an elegant slashing motion.

The crowd that appeared was completely in support of the celebrity and not the strange blonde contender, but Briana can't deny that she herself feels more inclined towards the male. The next pokemon, so aptly named, is something she's never seen on a stage. But the way it dances proves that it deserves to be. She smiles warmly, and watches in awe as the Honedge makes quick work of her poor Plusle. Catching herself sympathyzing with her opponent (ahh, just like her younger days), she puts her head back into the game and sends out her last pokemon.
"Well then, commoner, you've done a good job until now, but Ophelia has never lost before! Let's go, Ophy!" A pokeball is thrown and a Vulpix appears, growling and snarling with the feorcity of a houndoom. It attacks quickly with embers in the shape of a heart, which makes the crowd go wild
