JF038

==Synopsis==
Yazmyne observes the Ecruteak City Contest instead of participating in it, per Summer's suggestion. Summer is revealed to be a guest judge of the Contest and a former winner of the Johto Grand Festival, thus making her a Top Coordinator.
During the contest, Yazmyne sees that every Johto Contest has twenty-four participants and a unique set of rules for its appeal stage. Instead of each person conducting their own appeal, and the top 8 advancing to the battle rounds, the twenty-four Coordinators are divided into trios and compete against each other in a freestyle. Each performer gets a turn performing individually. The judges then decide on the spot which Coordinator and Pokemon of the trio performed the best, and their winner of the trio advances to the battle rounds.
Yazmyne watches these appeals in awe but is relieved to learn the battle rounds are standard Contest battles with option to use a second.
After the Contest, Yazmyne meets with Summer and thanks her on the advice to just watch the Contest because she learned more than she could have imagined. Summer hands Yazmyne a flier of the Contest in the nearest town: Lake Lucid Town.
