Showeray Contest-Round 4





Finals! HYPAA APPEALS!

#1: Houndoom Lover and Sparky
Thunderwave~Rainy Day~Bite~Ice Fang~Thunder

The bamboo forest is focused on, as the finals begin. A generous round of applause is commenced before Sparky waddles out, obviously played out. His tail wags slowly as he pants, looking at the audience. A child waves to the pup and he wags his tail faster, trying to release a Thunderbolt to show his jubilation-but all that is given off is a limp Thunderwave (attaining a bunch of awwws). The dog seems to frown , until an idea must've popped in is mind, cause off he goes. But as he leaves, the clouds seem to follow him. That can't be good..

The rain begins to pour on the forest, and in the distance, we can make Sarky Biting down bamboo. Once he gets 3 good sized sticks in his mouth, he trots back to the main audience, and drop the sticks in front of them, like a good game of fetch. Grabbing one and sliding it until the ends were near each other, he gnashed them both down with an Icy power, sealing them together. He did that with the other ends as well, giving him a 18 foot pole of bamboo to hold in his mouth.

Balancing the bamboo in his mouth vertically, he sat up and held his paws out, to the general amusement of the audience. That is, until the Thunder cascaded down slamming into the bamboo rod, and into his mouth, like a sword swallower. The crowd was amazed and euphoriously applauded, as the bamboo rod shattered from the lightning force, leaving Sparky in its wake.


#3) Chris 2.1 and Scyther
Silver Wind~Double Team~Agility~Bug Buzz~Hyper Beam

As clean is is completed and Sparky trots off, Chris's Scyther starts this appeal. Spinning in place, a Silvery Wind builds like a cloking tornado around the bug, slightly obscuring his view from the audience. The crowd watches with awe as Scythers begin jumping from the wind, 7 in all. They all look to each other and luge skyward, using their superb agility to jump off one another to attain orbital heights. At the apex of the lil ninja pyramid, Scyther let loos a cry that was reverberated through his clones in a formidable Bug Buzz.

The power of the waves went down and through the clones, causing them to ripple noticeably. But Scyther didn't care. The clones all seem to lose tangibility as a preeminent light shone from his blades. Above the highest bamboo stalks, Scyther hovered, until the final flash encapsulated the audience. An immense beam crashed down upon the earth. sending bamboo and dirt everywhere. Landing in the crater he created, Scyterh stood, a bit exhausted as the crowd applauded.


~~Scores~~

#1) Houndy! 9.6

it was unique. It really played on Sparky's cuteness. It as a bit unorthodox though, connecting bamboo with ice, but it worked well, and it was an immense lightning rod, which was spellbindingly cool, to be honest.

#5) Chris! 9.5

Awesome appeal, but the problem is that the ninja aspect of Scyther has been played already (to a point). Still for an Hyper Appeal, it was really well done. The clones out of the mysterious air and then their superb agility was on point. But ninja qualities dont truly include screeches-and that was a big stop for me.

Everyone loves a Hyper Beam finish though-and it was well executed. Speed and Power are Scyther's main attributes, but I feel the transition between them was a bit rough, and that's why you got hit.

So. Final scores...are in!
