Jon Drake
Pokemon Battling Stadium
When Jon arrived, nobody else was present at the stadium. Due to the sheer size of it, most of the bookings had it split in four sections, allowing four trainers to practise there as they saw fit. Occasionally trainers would do a practise battle against one another, but Jon had only seen that once since he got here, having been here every day. Granted, now that there were less people participating in the tournament, and he had made it to semis, there were much longer sessions available, so a practise battle may be a bit more viable today.

Jon set himself up in the corner, calling out his Blaziken and Latios. The plan was for Latios to be very quick target practise, for Blaziken to try and land hits on. Latios' focus was to simply avoid, and use telekinetic barriers to protect himself, whilst Blaziken was intending to land a mixture of special and physical attacks. As this was happening, Jon was keeping an eye on the door. Especially on this cruise, he didn't want Latios being seen, especially by someone who knew what he was capable of. If Jon saw anyone coming, he would let off a whistle, and Latios would turn invisible.

As the two Pokemon practised, Blaziken getting closer and closer to landing hits on the Eon Pokemon, Jon's attention was on the entrance.

Alyssa Drake
Central Park
"Thanks." Alyssa said as she accepted her takeaway coffee from the barista, before making her way back in to the main drag of Central Park. Whilst her goal was to get an interview with Cassandra, or maybe even Jarena or Violet, she knew that chances are, that would be something that happens spur of the moment. Trying to track down the Diamond Ladies on the cruise would prove to be difficult. Chances are the interview would only happen if she ran into them by luck.

Instead, Alyssa kept an eye out for any trainers who had made it into semis. It didn't take too long before finding someone.

"Bingo." Alyssa thought to herself as she recognized the trainer from the night before. The Shaymin they were carrying was enough to allow anyone to recognize them.

"Avery Miller?" Alyssa asked as she approached them, showing her media pass, "I'm Alyssa Drake from BattleNET. I'm covering the tournament here, and was hoping to get a few words? Maybe an interview?" ( @Noblejanobii )
