VIRIDIAN CITY - Contest Battle! [FREESTYLE]
Welcome everyone, to the first ever Adventures of Pokemon sponsored contest battles! In contest battles, each participating trainer will use the pokemon that they have and registered for, to participate in an appeal round!
It's your favourite news reporter here, everyone! It's Gabby! In front of me is everyone's favourite cameraman, Ty! And we're both here LIVE in front of the luxrious Viridian City's Contest Stage! Check it out!
Pretty cool, huh? For those of you who aren't aware, in Contest Battles, Coordinators have their Pokémon performing one move in each round in order to impress the Judges and the audience.
Every move that a Pokémon can learn is categorized under one of the five Contest categories and adds Appeal Points to a Pokémon's score in a Contest. Pokémon take turns appealing in the judging, and they are able to affect the performances of each other. Effects on other Pokémon include reducing their number of hearts, making them nervous, and so forth.
Oh, but hold on! It looks like someone is going to demonstrate...!
Choose a Move:

Quite an appealing move.

As you can see, we can use any one of our moves during our turn. Depending on the move, we gain a certain number of Appeal Points, or Hearts.
Let's demonstrate by using Tackle!
Round 1
EEVEE's TACKLE!
EEVEE's appeal went over great!
Applause

You gained 50 Appeal Points!
When you use a move, you gain appeal points, according to how many appeal hearts that move can give. Each heart is worth 10 appeal points each. When you use a move, there's a chance that you can excite the crowd too. When you do, you gain an extra appeal heart. So as you saw, I got 40 appeal points from using the move Tackle, while gaining an extra 10 points from the crowd's excitement. Altogether, that's 50 points, ending my turn.
Whenever you gain appeal hearts, it will show up on your profile, even if you end your turn. These hearts can be effected by an opponent, depending on if their move has Jam.
A Pokémon can only jam other Pokémon which have already appealed this round. Jamming causes the other Pokémon to become startled, lowering the appeal points of the startled Pokémon by the number of black hearts for each move. For example...
Round Two
PIKACHU / Adventure
EEVEE / Dragon
MAREEP / Sheep
VOLCARONA Ho-oh
Choose a Move:

In this round, I'm going after one of my opponents, Adventure. She already gained 3 Appeal hearts, or 30 Appeal points. Now, instead of Tackle like I did last round, this time I'm going to use Bite!
Round 2
EEVEE's BITE!
It tried to startle the other Pokemon.

PIKACHU / Adventure
Adventure's PIKACHU couldn't help but jump...
PIKACHU / Adventure
It lost 30 Appeal Points!

EEVEE's appeal went over great!

You gained 30 Appeal Points!
TOTAL: 80
----
As you saw, I used Bite, and it has a Jam of 3 black hearts, or a Jam of 30 Points. Once I used it, the move startles the Pokemon that moved before me, in this case, Adventure's Pikachu. So therefore, Adventure's Pikachu lost 3 hearts, or 30 Appeal Points.
If the Jam is greater than the appeal points that the startled pokemon has, then it will lose points from the total it has.
Therefore, certain moves can impose statuses on the user or other Pokémon. Read the spoiler below to find out more about them (credit to bulbapedia):

Lastly, keep your eye on the audience meter. Each time you use a move, it raises by 1.
Applause

If a Pokémon uses a move and the excitement meter reaches five, the Pokémon receives six extra hearts during its appeal, and the excitement meter returns to zero.

If a Pokémon uses a move twice in a row, the excitement meter will not go up, regardless of the move's Contest type. There are some cases where the excitement meter will be lowered, such as nervousness, which will be explored at later contests.
