That's annoying when that happens. Curse you timezones!

-Nadia moves her body to the left, but winds up banking at too steep of an angle and winds up losing control and crashing to the ground-

<Nadia: "Ooog...">

She's actually just going out. But there's always a reason to curse timezones.

Daisy, who keeps messing with your accounts?

Guys, it's starting!

-a light show begins in the stadium-

Everyone feel free to add to the ceremonies. I think Arceus is the one holding the tournament, but I don't think we should reveal that yet.

Draca: -Flies over to Nadia- <Are you okay? You didn't need to bank that much.>

<Nadia: "Y-Yeah... Let me try that again...">

-Nadia ascends and begins descending gradually again, this time banking at a noticeably shallower angle, which sends her off to the left, but keeps her airborne-

-The Gold Conference opening ceremonies begin. There is lots of random fanfare by bands of people who at this distance seem to not have a face-

...Jane, is that the Go-Rock Quads down over there? Or am I mistaken?

Draca: <Good job Nadia!>

-Sees fireworks-

Guys, the opening ceremonies are starting, we need to go, now.

I don't know! But it doesn't sound like them...

I meant over there, getting ready for their turn. Or is it a different band?

I don't know! Maybe!

I hope it is...

-Starts running to the stadium after recalling Draca-

-Sees fireworks off in distance, lands-

-With a glum tone-

<Nadia: "That means that our lesson today is over, doesn't it?">

"I'm sure that Draca will be able to help you again another time, Nadia..."

-Runs with party after Tagg-

-The current band finishes their set, and a voice booms throughout the stadium-

Announcer Guy: '''LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! WELCOME...TO THE GOLD CONFERENCE!

-Gets into his seat with the others-

I hope Tangent and Silent don't show up. The stuff we've been up to will be hard to explain.

The first others were me. The last one was probably hacked.

AG: NOW WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET US INTRODUCE OUR CONTESTANTS!

-whispers- That's our cue, guys!

We have to go out there? I guess we missed a lot by not being here, huh?

Back, and I'm fine for doing my first round match today.

-Is standing in the arena area, listening to the radio comentary of the ceremony-

Generic Anouncer Guy: -On radio- And so, with that out of the way, the trainers make their way into the arena to be given their first round opponents.

-Removes headphones-

Woot! Jane this is awesome!

-walks down with group-

-Starts walking down-

Man I'm nervous.

-Follows everyone down to the stage.-

Everyone should just announce their own matchup. You've all seen them in the Discussion Thread, right?

Good luck, you guys. I'll be sure to cheer you on.

In a laboratory, undisclosed location:

- closing up the hood to the ZERO-ONE -

Blargh, this thing hasn't been run in 10 years, it would look... No wonder Oak was so casual about donating it to the Project. Well, it'll get us to the Gold Conference, at least.

- shouts into the hall -

SILENT! Everything is good (enough) to go here! You wanna track down our wayward researchers or not?!
