Phoenix
With a sigh, Phoenix is once again on the move- Not too long after finding himself at the hotel in question, the receptionist giving an affirmative nod as Phoenix says who he is. As he receives the instructions to take the elevator to the top floor- It should be the door right in front of him. And surely enough, ringing the bell several minutes later, he has but to wait a second before the door opens- Revealing the familiar frame of Matsudo.
"Please come in- And pardon the mess. It was a rather short notice." he says, guiding Phoenix inside, though he hardly notices a "mess". The suite seems to largely consist out of a single, large room, a window giving a beautiful view to the city outside, and the mountains towards the north. If anything were to be "messy" though, it'd be the man's pokemon. Two humanoid forms lay long in the sofa, watching a large screen television. One of them seems to have green hair, and what appears to be a dress. The other is what would most aptly be described as wearing a red hat, with puffed up pants in red and yellow color.
Towards the corner of the room, near the window floats another figure that had turned curiously to Phoenix as he entered the room- But the half moon seems not intent to move from it's spot. Finally, a yellow, mustache'd pokemon seems to be in the kitchen and... Cooking something? Being watched by another floating, rather odd pokemon. Having colorful wings, but much too small for it to be it's only method of flight- Otherwise having runes all over it's body, and what appears to be a third eye sticking out of the top of his head.
"I presume you're here about my offer? Did your friends explain what it was, or do you wish for me to go over it again?"
(Assuming Phoenix asks for an explanation, he pretty much says what was said
here)
Tyke
Tyke, nervous at first, let's it all out in a commanding, impressive display.
She is then immediately escorted outside as Crackle kills someone in the rafters. Retreating for a moment, sick, the other participants introduce themselves- First coming the guy with the sunglasses. Lowering his shades for a moment, he and his partner- A totodile, inspect the audience- Somehow managing to come off cool.
"Sup. The name' Joe- And me and my totodile Rex are gonna blow your socks off!"
Following that is the girl Ivy- Introducing herself and her Grotle, Shell- She doesn't pull off the introduction as well as either Joe or her follower, Kay though- As he introduces his poliwag, Fisty. Even after all that though, it's clear that Tyke had blown away the competition with her performance!
"Thank you all for the wonderful introductions! Initial judging is complete, and we now move on towards the appeal stages. There will be 6 in total. Good luck, and dazzle us with your coolness!"

I may include small bonuses for flavor- Not big enough this time to give you another TP this round, though.
The doctor interrupts as James is leaving.
"For what it's worth... You're probably on the right track that we'll need... Magic, of some sort. Not really the right term, but that's what anyone would call it. Though I doubt that just praying would do the job."
Following that, after exiting James calls the pokecenter with a question. But it seems the only answer, after waiting some time, is a confused
"...What?"
Irene
Irene starts out strong against what is revealed to be a sentret- Hitting it hard with a feint attack, before it curls itself up defensively.
Rythem(16)
sentret(2) injured, curled up
Koa
"Um, sure! I have some time yet. I'd appreciate it!"
"Well, my parents aren't home at the moment, so no big deal for me either! What're you having? Soda, juice..?"
After grabbing a bottle of whatever Koa requests, she takes a glass for both her and him- As she sets in the table of the overall rather cramped room- The kitchen sets against one wall, the table takes up most of the room. As Koa sets the box on the table, and after some hesitation she starts rummaging through it- Starting with the big clefairy doll.
"Hah, look at this dusty old thing... Hey Fable! Check this out!"
Koa turns to see what she's talking about- Surely enough, seeing an
actual clefairy waddle out of one of the rooms- Sizing up the dusty old doll, seemingly a bit confused.
"That's why this was left- I got the real deal once I was old enough." she says, passing the smaller doll to the clefairy, before offering Koa a smile- Before starting to pull some pictures from the box.
"...Gotta admit though, looking at this stuff again I think it was a bad decision doing that."
"I'm Alice by the way. You?"
Bjorn
Bjorn goes on a shopping trip- Buying some stuff before looking for any place that could potentially fix his nets for 5 dollars for each 1 hp of damage. Before continuing on his way to the stadium...
Drake
Drake meanwhile, sends out a message to everyone to see if they're interested in joining him on a little pokemon edition- Soon having James and Alex join in.
Roll perception (anyone else want to join can still do so by next update...)
Izzy
Izzy meanwhile, has decided that contests really aren't something for her. Leaving the contest hall, she soon finds herself on the market- Putting her hat down, and pulling out her guitar, she starts to play.
Some time later, she has received some tips- Though not that much yet, it seems some people have been generous. Even then, she'd have to admit that she'd probably make more doing a job than this...Not as much fun though!
It's then however, that she notices something else among the bills and coins- A piece of parchment? Curiously, she bends over to pick it up- Unwrapping it and reading it's contents.
Come meet me in the alley behind you. And you shouldn't take your hat off- Makes you rather recognizable.
-A friend
Elias
Elias finally, is busy admiring the new addition to his team as they continue on their way- Elias once again keeping his eye out, though it seems that neither he or Stelour notice anything this time. Still a bit of time left before they get there, though...
Give me another perception roll(s)
