Tyke
Tyke is once again first to start off the round- Crackle again for a tackle, but switches things up slightly to not bore the judges- Reliability at it's finest.
Joe follows up by having his totodile snap it's jaws in a teasing manner- But doesn't actually manage to make enough of an impression to detract from the other participants. Seems he realizes he needs to step up his game slightly though, and he does his "thing"- Garnering quite some fame.
Then comes Ivy- As she has her grotle withdraw on itself- Not quite managing to make up for the last bad round , but together with a little gig certainly catching up.
And then finally is Kay's turn- Playing it big, by having a steady performance of double-slaps- Skyrocketing him to first place!

Bjorn
Spark targets the makuhita with a thundershock, this time not only managing to hit it, but also paralyze it!
It manages to overcome it for now though- As in return it unleashes a
devastating torrent of arm thrusts- Dealing 51(47) damage and instantly knocking out the pichu!
"Oh geeze, take it easy bud! It was just a training match!"
"Sorry about that- That move can be deadly if he got his proper aim on! Good match though!"
Spark gains 15 exp.

Did you remember to remove injuries? The pichu already had an injury, but I presume that was cured yesterday?
And sorry, the enemy rolled max on possible damage there.
Phoenix
"Well, I guess I'll need to contact you in more normal means. Maybe a phone call, or Pidgey message. Or I can just get Spot to make some smoke signals. And hey, maybe one day we'll get to talk on the battlefield when I challenge the Elite 4."
There is actually a brief moment where Matsudo looks over to Ib, as if to verify that this is another one of his "jokes"- Raising an eyebrow in reply as if to say "Really?", he quickly turns back.
"If it really becomes necessary, you'll be able to contact me through league services... Though I will be leaving after the tournament is finished up. From then on, most of your matters should be redirected to the city's marshal. I have no doubt you'll get to meet him sooner or later..."
---
Seeing that most are off doing various things, Phoenix decides to take his chances looking through the city for anything interesting. Eventually he spots a pokemon in a small park that looks... Out of his element- More something you'd expect to find in the marsh, or at least a forest, being a rather large, four-winged insect with large, green eyes.

Rolled between all the pokemon that were "reasonable" to find in or near the city, and yanma is the one that made the cut.
Irene
Ochrana simply backs up slightly before hitting the ghost with a fairy wind. Quickly realizing his ghost is not nearly fast enough to even reach the klefki, the opposing trainer switches to his third pokemon after the duskull absorbed the hit- A pokemon Irene recognizes as a foongus.
Ochrana(20) 35/50 astonish disabled
Rythem(16)
duskull(5) heavily injured
sentret(2) injured
Izzy
Izzy is only left baffled as Viktor does his explanation- Making her own assumptions. Still, everything considered she could only trust him. Even if he seems rather... Oblivious. Then again, he could also be spot on. As far as she can tell, seems he's telling you the full truth.
"....what are you going to do to it?"
"Oh, I'm just having High Voltage take a look at it."
Taking the pokedex, as if on cue a robotic limb comes peeking out from behind the man's trench coat- Falling limp as what appears to be a ghost jumps out- Izzy getting to see it's dynamo-like shape for just a moment before it jumps straight into her pokedex- The screen flashing violently for a moment, before the ghost jumps out again- Phasing through it's master as the limb soon retracts back into the coat- And with a small chill going through him, he hands back the pokedex.
"There. You can now contact me through a new application called "High Voltage"- Should you run into problems, you can use it to contact me. Likewise, I will be able to contact you should that be necessary."
"...Depending on my little friends mood, the name of the application might also be called dickbutt, ceiling cat, or... Anything else of the sort. Should have checked for that first-" He says with a bit of after-sight.
"Anyways- My escape plan will bring you back down to the alleyway- I suggest you exit the same way you entered, as they're watching the other side. I'll be exiting the other side, and leading them the other way."
"Till we cross paths again, miss Gale."
And with a wide grin on the man's face- And a tip of his hat, the xatu once again stretches out a wing for Izzy to grab.
Elias, Bjorn
Arriving at the tournament, Elias quickly signs himself in as a league trainer- Soon meeting up with Bjorn inside. And it seems they're just in time- As it seems the one pulling the strings is about ready to start distributing roles.
"Alright, listen up everyone! Thanks for coming, but it's time to get to work. Firstly I want the technicians that have been called up at the presentators stage- Most of the effects should still be in order from Wednesday, but I want a full check-up and test to make sure none of that fails during the actual show! I want a small team of trainers to assist them with the menial tasks that are involved with that. We're also prepping food stands for the show tomorrow- Those of you who have to help with that already know, but help from those who have nothing else to do can be used! If any one here has the tech knowledge to assist in the operation of healing machines, I want them here with me once I'm done so they can assist the joy's! Finally, the stands and a lot of the indoor rooms need cleaning- If you got nothing else to do, grab a broom and hop to it! I don't want to see any slackers! We'll take a break in two hours, and we should be well done before it even gets dark if everyone works along."
Following that, while still slightly chaotic- Mostly on the trainers part, who distribute themselves as they think is best, everyone soon seems to be finding their part of the job to do- Though before Elias or Bjorn get the chance to consider what they're gonna do, the coordinator approaches them.
"Hey! You two are trainers, right?"
Koa
"Over here." Koa boldly exclaims- Entering what seems to soon become a battle-field, already "dressed" the part in rock.
"I figured that, if you can't drive your bikes responsibly, you don't deserve to have them."
"You've made some stupid decisions kid. This'll probably be your worst one yet."
"And really, what the heck do you think you're doing driving circles around people, acting all tough? Acting tough is for sissies. If you were actually tough, you wouldn't feel like ya gotta prove it all the time, yeah?"
"But come on, you wanna be tough? You and me, one-vee-one! Get off your scooter and lets go."
"Nice try kid! I ain't got anything to prove to ya... Specially not if yer some kind of cheating wizard bastard?"
"Guess what though? Ya done fucked up good!" he says- A wide grin appearing on his face- As he pulls for another pokeball.
"I like to rock too."
Throwing the pokeball to the ground, Koa takes a step back as the pokemon released is clearly not your average run-of-the-mill pokemon- The energy of the releasing pokemon seeming to grow bigger and bigger- Towering above Koa before it finally takes solid form. An absolutely huge rock snake, taking up most of the area, and stretching just above the buildings when it raises itself to it's highest point in a slightly sleep-groggy state. The biker clearly got no intentions to play fair- Already grabbing for a bat in his motorcycle as well, as his two companions hang back and seem content to let him do the work, one of the bikers going to check up on his friend.
"Ye fucked with my gang- Now I'm gonna fuck with you."
Meanwhile, down under the ground, Mali is having it's own battle- Swiping away at the new intruder, as it tries to get in an attack in return- But quickly comes to the realization it is indeed quite outmatched in this terrain- Seeming to make indications to burrow it's way back to the surface.
