[Are you near the beach in the CMA? If so you get to watch Ash practice...something. It's a little hard to figure out if it's supposed to be a contest move or a strategy.

Or maybe it's both. Either way, Pikachu is standing next to him while Buizel is directly across from the pair]

Okay Buizel, let's see a Whirlpool! [And there it is, generally

Gettin' ready for a contest?

[Well, that's what it looks like to us. Glaceon is just going to look unimpressed.]

[notinmtsilver]

[laughs] Kinda looks like that, huh?

[alwaysinfront]

Yeah. [And this? Is a cookbook being thrown at you. Better catch it.]

Ya need to decide on wha' ya want to make.

[notinmtsilver]

Well it's more of a- [does not catch it! gets hit in the face. owwww. And yes he fell over.]

[aswhiteasice]

[Quickly dodging one of the pieces that was flying to his face.]

It's a good combination, but you might try to practice it more.

[notinmtsilver]

Thanks, Articuno. And we were planning on it. I think we need to work on the size of the shards if we were ever going to use it in a contest. It does work pretty well as a battle move though.

[aswhiteasice]

[Moves to the battlefield, gesturing to the ice shards.]

But it can be a problem for a batle two, if the ice goes in the wrong place. Also, it needs time to perform that attack, and the other team can have enough time to counter-attack.

However, in a contest performance, you might find it useful if you can control it.

[cheerily]

I know, which is why it's a good surprise move. Most people don't really expect it. But I see where you're goin' with that. It can be a little hard to pull off.

If we ever get it down to a smaller area, right? Maybe if we used Ice Punch and Iron Tail at the same time...

Red = Pearl, green = Platinum, blue = Diamond

[Three trainers, dodging ice shards coming right up!]

That was great! [dodges]

But you might want to work on the shards. They are...quite large. [dodges]

D'you want a Poffin? [dodges, oh god are those things big]

[notinmtsilver]

[...ahaha, awkward moment.]

Thanks! And we're workin' on it.

...Sure?

[notinmtsilver]

[asdlfkj]

S-Sorry Professor! We were over here for a reason...

[notinmtsilver]

[And Buizel responds in kind. So mature.]

Was kinda hoping there wouldn't be any bystanders while we were working on that. Guess I should have found somewhere with less people...

[shoujospirit]

[There may have been an ice shard or three that just narrowly missed her poofy hat, but Kotone is still incredibly impressed! She claps excitedly.]

Wow! That's so cool! [... Pepper the Meganium, however, is suitably leery. Because come on, there was just a rain of rather sharp looking ice shards!]

[notinmtsilver]

[laughs]

Thanks! We're still working on the area it's supposed to land in though.

[shoujospirit]

If you can manage to focus that, you'll have an amazing battle strategy on your hands! I don't think I've ever seen anyone combine attacks like that before.

[notinmtsilver]

Thanks! It probably came from watching a lot of contests. Coordinators come up with some really amazing combinations.
