Machamp Tough Contest: Normal Rank - VII

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to yet another of our glorious Tough contests." Zora announced to an excited crowd. "Which talented trainer will reign triumphant this time, and climb above the rest to claim this Normal Rank Ribbon? LET'S GO!"

"Our first contestant is a Little Blue Corsola, owned by the appropriately named lilbluecorsola. Show us what you've got!" Waddling forwards, the Corsola stood himself in front of the audience, who surveyed his massive Toughness. Very impressed, the Pokémon was rewarded with a great deal of applause and cheering.
"And Corsola gets himself off to a great start there." Zora commented.

"Next up, we have a trainer returning from our last contest, but with a brand new Pokémon to show you. Lets see Arc Angel's Kabuto!" As the crustacean skuttled into position, the audience looked on blankly, unimpressed by the Pokémon's utter lack of contest attributes.
"Not exactly a very good start there." continued Zora. "Hopefully Arc Angel can make up for this in the appeals round."

"Thirdly, we have empoleon dynamite, entering with a Corphish. Come on down!" Taking her place on the stage, the Corphish's Toughness was clear, provoking nearly as much support from the audience as Corsola had earned previously.
"A solid result there for Corphish." Zora noted.

"Rounding out this contest, is a Magby, trained by SilverWind. What have you got to show us?" Walking forwards, Magby stood in front of the crowd, who once again stared blankly at the competitor, most displeased by their lack of Toughness.
"I'd imagine a Fire-type would have to be pretty Tough to go up against triple Water-types, but evidently not, I guess." said Zora, bemused. "Oh well, onwards we go!"

"So, now we've had a chance to see how Tough our contestants are naturally, it's time to see just exactly how Tough their attacks are. Lets get ready to appeal!" Above the stage, the info screen flickered to live, each Pokémon's info bar sliding into place in the relevant position.

Haruki
Hammer
Shelby
Wraith

"And now the first round of appeals is underway!" Zora shouted excitedly.

"The opening appeal of this contest will be performed by Haruki. Your orders?"
"Use Harden!" the trainer instructed. Concentrating hard, a skin of golden energy swept across the Corsola's body. The Toughness of his new exoskeleton enough to excite the audience sufficently, as they cried out in praise of him.
"And Corsola opts to open the round with a defensive attack." Zora commented. "Really, what is there I can say about this staple tactic?" On screen, the initial attack the Harden had earned was joined by a second, as the first segment of the appreciation meter blinked into existance.

"Appealing secondly is Hammer!"
"Torment." was the order this time. Stepping out on stage, the Corphish faced the Magby and the Kabuto.
"It's a shame you're such failures." Hammer announced, everyone able to speak Corphish for some reason. "You're going to fail because my carapace is so hard you could never hope to brake through it with your puny little attacks and basically I am awesome and you all suck." hearing these insults, Shelby appeared to be unconvinced, but Wraith took it badly, falling over and rocking back and forth on his shell. The words also seemed to be successful in convincing the audience of Hammer's Toughness, who cheered loudly.
"Ouch." Zora remarked "Not a very good start for Wraith there. Hammer was successful at making him far too nervous to appeal this round." On screen, Hammer earnt two hearts for her appeal, joined by a third at the same time as the second segment of the appreciation meter.

"Making the third appeal is Shelby."
Staring cluelessly for a moment, SW suddenly came to his senses, ordering his Pokémon to perform a "Karate Chop!". Following the command, Magby began charging towards a large slab of Concrete which was being raised onto the stage. Stretching out her arm, she brought the side of her palm crashing down onto the slab, smashin through it with ease. Again, thrilled to see such an impressive display of Toughness, the audience once again cheering loudly.
"And Shelby match's Hammer's solid appeal with a solid appeal of her own." explained Zora. On screen, the appeal was rewarded with three hearts. A fourth was then added as the third segment of the appreciation meter lit up.

"Meanwhile, I don't think Wraith is in any state to appeal." Zora continued, the Kabuto still rocking back and forth in fear.

"So, at the end of our first set of appeals, lets see how the standings are." On the screen, the namebars began their animation, rearranging themselves to reveal

Shelby
Hammer
Haruki
Wraith

"Lets get the second set of appeals underway!"

"Firstly, we have Shelby. Your instructions?"
"Faint Attack!" was the technique ordered. As the concrete target was raised onto the stage, Shelby vanished from the audience's sight, sneaking her way forwards before suddenly revealing herself, lashing out with a punch that split it cleanly in two. Deeming this maneuver suitably Smart, the audience clapped politely.
"Shelby opens with a Faint Attack. Of course, by using it going first, she's tripled her score." On screen, six hearts were awarded.

"Second to appeal is Hammer"
"Use Harden!" was the command. Much like the Corsola had last round, the Corphish took his place on stage, coating his body with a golden armour as the Toughness made the audience cheer loudly.
"Hammer opts to play defensively this round, I see." recounted Zora, as on screen the initial heart earnt by the appeal was joined by a second as the penultimate segment of the appreciation meter turned on.

"Third up is Haruki."
"Tackle!" the Corsola was told, as he charged forward at the wall being raised on stage, his little body producing only a tiny hole as he burst through, but the shockwave that swept through the brickwork tore the rest of it apart, such an awesome display of Toughness driving the audience wild with excitement.
"Amazing!" Zora said "Haruki completes his contest combo AND drives the audience to the breaking point. The other Pokémon are going to be in for a challenge to keep up with him now!" On screen, Tackle's four hearts were joined by four more for the completion of the combo, followed by five more associated with the appreciation meter, which wiped itself clear.

"Rounding out the round, we have Wraith."
"Waterfall!" was the order he was issued, as much like Haruki had before him, Wraith charged down a wall, jets of water streaming from beneath his carapace as he easily battered his way through, the wall collaping behind him. While his Toughness didn't elicit quite the response Haruki had provoked, the attack was still recieved very well.
"Much like the Faint Attack, this Waterfall's triple point score will bring Wraith some much needed points." Zora said, as Wraith's name bar had six hearts added to it, plus an additional seventh as the first section of the appreciation meter turned back on.

"And with some very high scores being earned this round, lets see how that has affected the board." On screen, the bars arranged themselves into the appropriate structure, revealing the order for the third round of appeals.

Haruki
Shelby
Wraith
Hammer

"OMG, more contesty stuff again!"

"Haruki has the first appeal this round."
"Use Dig!" was the trainer's instruction, as the floor panels slid open, Corsola burrowing his way down into the sandpit, his Smart tactic of seeking refuge drawing light applause from the audience.
"Haruki opts to play it safe once more." Zora commented "He's preserving his wide lead, but will this low scoring round give others the chance to leap ahead?" On screen, a single heart was awarded to Haruki for the attack.

"Second to appeal is Shelby."
"Cross Chop" she was ordered, and her hands lit up with energy. A slab of concerete was raised onto the stage, and the Magby slammed the edges of her hands into it, neatly cleaving it in two.
"i think magbys a pretty cool gal. seh chops crosses and doesn't afraid of anything" one of the audience members yelled, pleased with the appeal.
"Oooh, a high score from Shelby there." Zora remarked "The low score of Haruki's appeal doubles the effectiveness of that Cross Chop!" On the screen, Shelby was awarded six points for her appeal.

"Third up, Wraith."
"Mud Shot!" he was told, and rearing up on his hindclaws, multiple balls of mud shot out from the darkness that presumably concealed his mouth. Some harmlessly splattered around the top of the burrow Haruki had formed himself, while the rest impacted with Shelby, sending her reeling in pain from the force of the attack. Impressed with the Toughness of this appeal, the audience cheered loudly.
"Wraith dishes out some nasty jamming to Shelby there." observed Zora "It seems it was a wise decision by Haruki to play defensive." On screen, Wraith earned a heart, and three were removed from Shelby's board. Then, as the second segment of the appreciation meter lit up, a second heart was awarded to Wraith.

"Rounding up this round, Hammer time."
"Rollout" commanded his trainer, as the Corphish lept forwards, curling himself into something vaguely spherical as he began rolling around the edge of the stage, the audience fixated on his movements as the applauded his Toughness.
"Having the Audience's full attention may be useless" Zora said. "But Hammer managed to complete his contest combo for a nice point bonus." On screen, the Rollout appeal earnt three hearts, followed by three more, then a seventh heart was added as the third segment of the appreciation meter lit up.

"An interesting round there. The 4th place contestant had the highest scoring appeal, and the 1st place had the lowest. Lets have a look at how that's affected the overall standings as we move into round four!"

Haruki
Shelby
Hammer
Wraith

Lieutenant Message. Oh, wait. Wrong rank.

"Round four can now get underway! Will our contestants seize the chance to set up some contest combos to end their appeals on a high?"

"Appealing first once more, it's Haruki."
"Use Rollout!" he was instructed, as, just like Hammer had last round, Corsola tumbled forwards, as he began to loop around the outer ring of the stage, the audience fixated on his rolling as they cheered loudly in response to the attack's Toughness.
"Oooh, this is interesting." Exclaimed Zora, as on the screen above him, three hearts were initially awarded to Haruki, and were then joined by another as the fourth segment of the appeciation meter blinked on. "With the meter now stuck at four, it looks like somebody's going to be able to gain themselves a pretty little bonus in the final round."

"Second to appeal, we have Shelby."
"Smog attack!" she was told by her trainer, Magby walking forward to take her place on stage before spewing forth a small dense cloud of toxic gases. As the cloud drifted along, it drifted in front of Haruki, who rolled straight through it, coughing and spluttering as the poisons burned his lungs, but maintaing his momentum, and with it the audience's full attention.
"Shelby takes Haruku down a notch with some good jamming there." Zora narrated "But will it be enough to cut away his lead?" On screen, Shelby earnt a single heart for her appeal, while three of Haruki's were wiped away.

"Thirdly, it's Hammer."
"Rain Dance!" was the appeal order this time. Scuttling forwards, Hammer began shaking her pincers and stepping from side to side. The rhythmic motions of the Corphish, in the absence of actual exposure to the elements, managed to trigger the sprinklers in the roof of the hall, as water poured out of them. With their current level of excitement, the audience didn't seem to care about getting soaked, but they were still too focused on Haruki's continous rolling to offer any specific encouragement.
"A high scoring appeal by Hammer there." Zora said. "With the audience excitement so high, that Rain Dance earnt a lot of points." On the screen, six hearts were awarded to Hammer for her appeal.

"And finally this round, we have Wraith."
"Waterfall!" came the command, as, just as he had in a previous round, Wraith charged forwards, water surging over his shell as the force of his tackle again easily demolishing the wall that was raised onto the stage. However, unlike last time, Wraith did not garner any appreciation for his Toughness, the audience still fixated upon the rolling Haruki.
"Wraith reels in the points with another high scoring end of round Waterfall!"

"So, lets see how the standings look before our contestants get their chance to make one final appeal to try to grasp victory!"

Haruki
Hammer
Wraith
Shelby

"Here we are, the final round! Which of our competitors will display the Toughness necessary to reign supreme, and lay claim to the Normal-rank Ribbon? Lets get underway!"

"Surprise surprise, the first appeal will be made by Haruki."
"Counter!" was the instruction given, Haruki stepping forward on stage and assuming defensive stance. The Toughness of the attack was obvious, as the crowd exploded with praise for this choice of technique.
"Wow." Zora exclaimed. "Haruki gets the crowd going with his attacks once again. With this high score and protection from jamming, is there anything that can stop him now?" On screen, two hearts were awarded for the Counter, followed by another six as all five segments of the appreciation meter flashed rapidly before going off.

"Second up, we have Hammer."
"Use Surf." she was ordered, moving forward to appeal as the Corphish prepared to unleash a wave of water, which she did so... the amount generated more of a trickle beneath her as she was struck by a crisis of self-confidence following Haruki's success. Laughing at her failure, the audience jeered at Hammer, disgusted that someone would have the audacity to attempt a show of Beauty in a Tough Contest.
"Oooh. Bad show for Hammer there. Haruki's high scoring appeal really reduced the effectiveness of that Surf. At least Hammer can recover some points from her successful execution of a contest combo." On screen, three hearts were awarded to Hammer for the appeal.

"Thirdly, it's Wraith."
"Scratch Attack!" was the appeal this time around. Kabuto scuttled towards its target, a thick log being raised onto the stage, which Wraith promptly cleaved apart, his sharp claws easily making a clean cut through the wood. In response to this display of Toughness, the audience cheered loudly once again.
"Wraith opts to keep it simple this round, and he gets himself a good lump of points in the process." On screen, four hearts were awarded to Wraith for his appeal, followed by a fifth as the first segment of the appreciation meter blinked back on.

"And, rounding out this contest, we have Shelby."
"Blast Burn!" came the command, as Shelby took a moment to charge up, before letting rip with a devastating attack, three huge fireballs spewing forth from inside her and heading towards her fellow contestants. Haruki, in his defensive posture, managed to repel his fireball fairly easily, but against both Hammer and Wraith the attack served its purpose, the fireballs exploding against them, clouds of smoke dissapating to reveal two very battered Pokémon. Meanwhile, the audience expressed their disgust once more, appauled by the continued use of Beautiful techniques.
"And Shelby gives us a prime example of a finishing move. Will this strong finish be able to secure her a high placement?" On screen, four hearts were awarded to Shelby, while four were removed from Wraith's bar. On Hammer's bar, all three were removed, and replaced by a solitary black heart. Meanwhile, the single lit segment of the appreciation meter turned off.


"So, that's it for this contest. All that remains is to see the final results!"



"So congratulations are in order to Haruki and... lilpurplecorsola? Nintento, wai u so laem? Regardless, you recieve this Normal Rank Tough Ribbon, and this plushie replica of the victor.

To our other contestants, you recieve the same, just with the ribbon replaced with wishes that you will do better should you ever attempt to retry in the future.

CONTESTO, ENDO!
