After the break, the crowd would cheer as Josh Dragomir and Lightning would step onto the stage once again, waving to the crowd as he would flip the mic a few times in his hand, seeming to have grown in confidence since before. "PAHALA! After we saw an amazing introduction to our coordinators, YOUR performers here at the Summer Festival, and you've had your intermission... It's time to get right back into the ACTION! While Sonada Rosencox had to pull out for personal reasons, our remaining Coordinators will still have a hell of a challenge ahead of us! Why? Because it's time! Time for what? The BATTLE ROUND, obviously! The rules? All THREE of your competitors will face off in a three-way FREE FOR ALL PERFORMANCE BATTLE! What's a Performance Battle, you might ask? Well, each competitor sends out ONE POKEMON from their team, to battle that of their chosen opponent. Normally, that's one chosen opponent, but tonight we have a treat for you because that is now for TWO! That's right, all three competitors will be taking this on at the same time! Their job is to thrill YOU, the crowd, while their Pokemon battle it out! Style and grace and finesse... If they can take the fight to their opponents while putting on a good show, the judge's scoring will certainly be in their favor!
And don't worry! Even if your Pokemon is knocked out, you can still win! It all boils down to the scoring you received for your performance, win or lose. Even if you lose the battle, you just might still win the Battle Round!
Now, it's time to bring out our competitors, folks! Vinny Pugliesi verses Andrea Benoit and @astrid ! This is going to be a hell of a match, folks! Don't you dare miss it!" Dragomir would shoot that familiar half-smirk toward the crowd before making his way to the judge's table, as the competitors would come out and send out their Pokemon. "BEGIN!"
------------- Posting Order! Andrea Benoit - @astrid - Vinny Pugliesi

She was mentally preparing herself for what would be coming—but seeing as she didn’t want to reuse Alexandria once again, she’d decided to go with one of her other “hidden options”, a Lilligant that she’d received as a gift from an anonymous fan a long time ago! She knew that the comments from the Appeals Round were a bit… well, interesting, to say the least, and her plan for the Performance Round would have to change, somewhere down the line. Alright, so… no fancy costumes this time… only thing is, this time… will it work?! She thought, looking down at the simplified costume she’d chosen this time. Well, looking like any other normal beach-goer is going to hurt my scores, but I don’t care, I have to make a strong impression! She continued to muse to herself as she then quickly hung a wreath of pink flowers around her neck—but didn’t add one around her forehead. Instead, she then hung a pair of shades above her head, before adjusting the strap of her tank-top bikini just so it didn’t unravel while the battle was on-going. She knew that her entrance mattered, and hopefully her sleight of hand would be able to pull it off! Knowing that she’d have to disguise the flash of red light as much as possible, she then began to set up another plan… Eventually, the battle stage was now deemed ready for everyone to take their positions on; and she came out first— but where was her companion?! Today it’s all about the magic! She thought, plastering the biggest grin on her face before coming to a stop in front of her position; before seemingly pulling out an explosion of glitter coming from both her hands! At that same moment, she’d discreetly popped the containment unit hidden in her hands while the glitter caught the overhead lights, distracting the crowd from her companion’s appearance. From out of nowhere, a gracefully-spinning Grass-type made her appearance; and there was something rather distinctive about the Lilligant—it was shiny! As the humanoid Grass-type came to a graceful stop on the sands, it then preened for a few seconds before bowing, and holding out its appendages. At the same time, Andrea then whispered, “Get a Safeguard and a Growth going for me, will you?” before quickly making another sudden cascade of summer-colored petals appeared out of nowhere; while at the same time the Safeguard snapped into place, protecting the Grass-type from any bad statuses for a while. After the Safeguard had locked into place, the Lilligant seemed to grow slightly in size—but all the while the sheen that it was giving off was slowly but surely boosting its offensive power, all the while disguised while Andrea was launching more glitter-bombs to wow the audience.
Lilligant is now out on the field! Safeguard 5 / 5; Atk +1, Sp. Atk +1 (these stats are just a reminder for me) MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS

After Andrea and Astrid had finished their entrances, Vinny followed shortly afterwards, unlike the two girls he didn't change outfits. Be it not having enough money or time to plan a second change of outfits didn't matter so much now to the boy so much as getting on the stage.
Vinny wasn't alone in the stage debut as he already had another Pokemon out with him, said Pokemon being a Floatzel that was wearing a yellow and white baseball cap on backwards that seemed to serve no purpose other than being there. Having his Floatzel next to him gave him a small confidence boost, and the previous, if somewhat disappointing judge comments only aided the fire. With a toothy grin Vinny stood behind with some pride as Pulse lead the way onto the battle stage. Pulse aimed his mouth upwards and fired off a small bubble of water that floated upwards before popping in the air.
Vinny's confidence as well as Pulse's faded somewhat as they saw a Liligant on Andrea's side. Pulse cringed somewhat on the painful memory as he looked backwards towards Vinny with a look uncertainty in his eyes, a look that Vinny wasn't lacking. "It's alright, just stay away from it." Vinny urged Pulse before finally getting to his side of the field. Pulse promptly headed to the battle field, where he faced off with the two other Pokemon.

Sent out Floatzel.

● waiting, contemplating... @astrid & Vinny Pugliesi / Flash, flash it all! / 279Now that she’d gotten a better look at the surroundings, she then realized that it was dark—but not for long. Knowing that she had to make an impression within the limited amount of time she had left, Andrea decided to ‘bring some light’ towards the stage, in a manner of speaking. After launching the last of the glitter bombs from her hands, she then slapped her hands together, ridding them of glitter, and finally pulled the shades down that were resting on her head over her eyes. “Time to bring some sunshine to the stage…” she chuckled, seemingly reaching behind her, and pulling out a colorfully-decorated beach umbrella and opening it with a spinning motion, before pointing it to the sky. “Alright, Sakura, let’s go! Turn up the sun!” she shouted, watching and waiting while pointing to the dark skies—and eventually the Lilligant then raised its leafy limbs to the heavens, before a sudden explosion of sunlight temporarily lit up the area! Okay, one down… two to go! She thought, watching as the artificial “sunlight” then spread across the stage, making it look like it was daytime—but in reality, the Sunny Day was just confined to the stage proper. Now that the “sun” was bearing down on them, she then grinned a little bit—before issuing the next set of orders. “Get that Flash ready, will you? After that, begin charging up. You know what I mean,” she remarked, watching as the Grass-type then spun itself into position, suddenly letting loose with an explosion of distracting light that cut across the stage, which then offered the Lilligant enough time to get into position, as if meditating…
Lilligant is now out on the field! Sunny Day; 5 / 5; Safeguard 4 / 5; Atk +1, Sp. Atk +1 (these stats are just a reminder for me) Flash used in order to get Lilligant across the stager; and is now charging up for Solar Beam. MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS

Vinny instinctively covered his eyes from the flash of the Liligant while Pulse took the blunt of the attack, closing his eyes and flinching from the sudden bright light. Once the two managed to regain their eye sight and the flash wearing off, only for Pulse to get hit by Dazzling Gleam. As the wave of pink fairy energy made contact Pulse winced in pain but still managed to remain it's footing. Meanwhile Vinny realized that the two girls were now seemingly focused on each other, and not the young so called lord of Hip-Hop.
"Pulse, use your Agility!" Vinny called out. Pulse responded accordingly, getting down on his hindlegs as he strengthen his leg muscles. "Perfect! Now use Surf on them while they're distracted!" Vinny called out in a somewhat rushed tone, anxious to attack before they turned their attention towards him. Pulse stood tall as water started to accumulate beneath his feet, forming a small circular platform of sorts that eventually grew to be bigger, about three meters tall and three wide as Pulse took control of the wave like a surf board. For added effect Pulse stuck his limbs out and tried to mimic hanging ten as he moved the wave of water towards the two Pokemon, subtly but quickly getting smaller as he moved across the stage. Eventually, the wave would finish traversing and presumably crashing into the two feuding Pokemon. The water splashing with light reflecting creating a low scale semi-rainbow.
The wave having subsided, Pulse would appear on the other side of the field facing Vinny. Pulse promptly pointed his backside towards Liligant before firing off a Swift attack.

● waiting, contemplating... @astrid & Vinny Pugliesi / What in the name of Arceus...? / 454Now that she’d managed to get Sakura into a nice position, Andrea was just about ready to proceed with the next step of her performance—when a second flash of light cut through the area—but it wasn’t as distracting as her own; rather, it had a somewhat…mystical quality to it. Oh, scheisse. What’s going to happen now…? She thought to herself, blinking and making sure that her Lilligant was still on the field. And then, madness exploded all over the stage. “Sakura! Let’s get started! Bring out your fabulous weapon!” she began, using the umbrella to shield herself from the incoming attacks; as they were spread out across the stage as well. It seems like everyone brought area of effect moves to the table. Might as well take advantage of the sun while it’s there! She continued to herself, before swinging the umbrella back, as if getting ready into a batting position. “You’re brave, you’ve faced worse than that! Take the heat, and then use your Solar Beam to cleave through the wall of water!” she continued, watching as the wall of water came crashing down across the stage, pretty much drenching everyone on it—even she wasn’t spared from the madness. The incoming Flamethrower attack, not too far behind on the heels of what appeared to be Dazzling Gleam, exploded in a burst of flames around the Lilligant—and even if it was hot, the Grass-type hung on as best as she could manage; for the wall of water somewhat dulled the attack! At that same moment, the Lilligant then seemingly reared back, as if conjuring something in its hands—truth be told it was condensing its Solar Beam into its leafy palms, before swinging it across the stage as best as she could manage! As the beam of light cut a wide path across the area, the two then saw what appeared to be a barrage of stars incoming; before Andrea whistled loudly. “Heal up!” were the next words she uttered, quickly closing the umbrella in her hands, before making it ‘vanish’; only for it to be replaced with her sable-colored staff that she’d seemingly pulled from out of thin air a few moments later (to be honest, it involved quite a lot of sleight of hand on her end) and swung into position! “Alright… time for them to have some sweet dreams! Use your Sleep Powder, while I keep them distracted with this!” she continued, quickly pulling out several more packets of glittery confetti, making them explode right at the moment the Lilligant began to scatter the sleep-inducing spores. Well, I hope nobody’s got Safeguard… but that Clefable is trouble… she thought, waiting for them to make her next move.
Lilligant is now out on the field! Sunny Day; 4 / 5; Safeguard 3 / 5; Atk +1, Sp. Atk +1 (these stats are just a reminder for me) Lilligant takes both Flamethrower and Dazzling Gleam; before using Solar Beam (1; no charge time due to Sunny Day in effect) to "cleave" away the wall of incoming Surf water! After that, uses Synthesis (2) while taking the Swift (as it cannot be dodged) before letting loose with an explosion of Sleep Powder (3)! MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS

Pulse would panic as he saw a giant light beam of death heading his way. Thankfully, Pulse was high enough on the wave to barely avoid getting Yamcha'd, but the solarbeam was enough to break the solid form of the wave, knocking Pulse slightly off course and spraying Vinny in water. Pulse scrambled on his feet just in time for the burst of sleep powder to be puffed all around the area he was in. "Quick Pulse! Aqua Jet out of there!" Vinny cried out anxiously, falling asleep with two fully evolved and much more opponents active more or less meant a game over for Vinny. Pulse reacted appropriately, turning backwards and covering his body in a veil of water before shooting off in the opposite direction from the fit, looking kind of like a moving rainbow thanks to the still active Sunny Day. That being said, it wouldn't be easy to point out due to the speed Pulse was moving.

● waiting, contemplating... @astrid & Vinny Pugliesi / Why all the hate?! / 568What is it with them, they’re always attacking me? Especially the other girl? The hell? Am I stealing her thunder?! She thought to herself, that same “what the hell is wrong here” look still plastered on her face, even as her eyes were hidden behind the stage. Seeing as her ‘sweet dreams’ strategy didn’t work (what with majority of the spores getting incinerated) she then knew she had to change her strategy; and fast! Noticing that the Clefable was the one dishing out most of the damage (as the Buizel was apparently trying to have a good time; never mind that the Surf attack had drenched them all in the process) she then decided to redirect her efforts in that direction—when she noticed something shimmering, even if the artificial sunlight was still in play across the stage. Oh, no. She’s not going to last any longer… she thought, quickly shifting around and then pointing at the rays of what she could distinguish from the sunlight to be moonlight, and then ordered, “Sakura! Let’s get out of there and use Flash again, and come closer to where I am! Add a little spin while you’re at it!” before making sure that her shades were firmly over her eyes; as the Lilligant then looked upwards and saw that there were lunar beams headed its way! Twirling as gracefully as she could manage on the stage, the Grass-type then began to spin around, and around, and around… on the fourth revolution a sudden explosion of distracting light then came from its body; which then cut across the stage once again. Under the cover of the bright light suddenly exploding (and potentially comically blinding anyone else caught in its path) the Lilligant then tottered over to where Andrea was now positioned, holding her staff behind her while still dressed up like a beach-goer. “Now, let’s try that laser-beam sword again, okay?” she said once the Grass-type was closer. Now that the Lilligant was very near her, she then pointed to the sky, before continuing, “Let’s take advantage! Second explosion of light, use your Solar Beam and make it look like you’re a Valkyrie going up into the heavens!” and standing down, the better for her Lilligant to have more wiggle room. Right as the leafy limbs came together, a sphere of energy then began gathering within its hold, before it then let it rise above her—and a second, sweeping Solar Beam then launched itself across the stage, sweeping along with the Lilligant’s swaying motions as it was slowly beginning to rise—while it was standing on the tip of Andrea’s staff! Now that we’re down to one move… what should I do? She thought, before seeing that Sakura, Grass-type that she was, already quivering and shaking even as it tried to remain balanced while on the staff. “Let’s go with a healing move this time. Recover your energy with Synthesis!” before a soft glow that gradually became a surge of beautiful golden light seemingly emerged from within the Lilligant, slowly but surely restoring its health. Oh, scheisse, after my last one she’s potentially exposed, and going down in flames. This is bad. What’m I going to do?! She thought to herself, watching as some of the recently-gained nicks and scratches slowly but surely melted away. The Lilligant wasn’t in top condition, but it could still put up one last fight…
Lilligant is now out on the field! Sunny Day 3 / 5; Safeguard 2 / 5; Atk +1, Sp. Atk +1 (these stats are just a reminder for me) Lilligant uses Flash (1) to create a distracting cover in order to maneuver closer to Andrea; before unloading another sweeping Solar Beam (2) across the stage! Afterwards, Synthesis (3) is used. Andrea is now potentially out of healing moves for the rest of the fight. MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS

After Pulse dashed away from the performing Clefable and Liligant's scuffle, he found himself near Vinny's area again. Pulse looked over his shoulder at Vinny, awaiting an order while the match still had time on the clock. Vinny gritted his teeth, "Pulse if we don't do something we're finished!" he called out, "Summon Rain dance!"
Pulse took a deep breath, before starting a dance. The Floatzel stuck out his out his two arms and pointed them to the left of himself as he shot his head to the left as well. Pulse would repeat this as he aimed to the left, and then to the right again before pausing for a few moments. Time would stand still for Vinny, as a few members of the audience turned to Pulse wondering just what the hell the Pokemon was doing this late into the fight. A bit late for introductions? Maybe, but at this point it was do or die. Pulse would then break off into a little back and forth side step,before 'falling' backwards on his back. Pulse would then bring out his left arm just in time to support himself and having enough strength to keep himself supported in that position. Pulse would remain in this position for a moment, before switching to his other arm, going back and forth for a few moments. Then, Pulse would use both of his arms to bounce himself back on his feet, where he prompty did a spin in place- a move that Vinny mimicked behind him. "Now Pulse!" Vinny called out. Pulse then brought both of his arms into his body and closed them in an 'X' before releasing them, his body glowing a blue hue.
It was in that moment the clouds started to darken over the stage, releasing a rainfall over the Pokemon and the performers who were unfortunately got caught up in the artificially created rain. "Awesome! Now Pulse, speed in and use Whirlpool and fast!" Vinny yelled out to his mon. Pulse obliged and ran very quickly into the fray, a small 'tornado' of water appearing in his left hand. Pulse would then bring his hands together and 'throw' the whirlpool in the middle of the fight between Lligant and Clefeable. After this, Pulse was almost immediately attacked by another burst of the Dazzling Gleam, gritting his teeth Pulse looked towards the attacker before running up to her as well. "Pulse! Use Waterfall!" Vinny yelled out again, his voice fast and tone full of excited as he watched how totally cool his Pokemon looked. Pulse then shot his body upward using the aid of a decently sized stream of water, much stronger than your average Aqua jet.
