Showeray Contest!

[Rossymore]

I'm still in the contset? Wow!
Okay then...I wonder who'll use my Pokemon?

Anyway...hrmm...I choose...Chris's Scyther. Let's see what we can do with this!

Begin with a Silver Wind then use Hidden Power and let them ride the winds. Finish with your awesome speed and use X - Scissor on each of the Hidden Power capsules so the colour spills out and joins the glistening of the winds. Use your wings and glide wth the colour.

Silver Wind ~ Hidden Power ~ X - Scissor

[Houndoom_Lover]

It can be anyone? I'll use Lucario! That Kitsune there~

And yes, a catapie did beat you ^_^

Start out curled into the fetal position- Now, use Magnet Rise to levitate, and as you do so, slowly and limpy come undone, keep you eyes closed- now use Focus Punchy- as your hands light up, bring them together as hard as you can. Once they connect, open your eyes and let out a Flash Cannon.

Magnet Rise~Focus Punch~Flash Cannon

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Ok I will be stealing Rossymore's Roserade, start off by using Sweet Scent to get the crowd relaxed follow with a Leaf Storm to cut the bamboo stalks into equal peices and throw them up into the sky finish by firing a pin missles into the middle off each stalk giving them a another point so they can float back down to the ground like many bamboo helicopters.

Sweet Scent ~ Leaf Storm ~ Pin Missile

[Asilynne]

Ail (m), Leafeon-OT: Green Lanturn

Asi thanked Green Lanturn for allowing her to borrow his Leafeon. "I know it seems typical of me to use an Eeveelution," she told him, grinning sheepishly. "But after carefully comparing the other pokemon I felt yours could best portray what I wanted to this round."
Turning to gaze at Ail quietly, she smiled down at the leafy pokemon. "Ok Ail, for this round we are going to continue our seasonal theme and symbolize autumn and the way leaves the color of fire fall to the ground. First perform a Swords Dance to up your Attack and also capture the crowds attention. Then, use Magical Leaf to cause magic-coated leaves to cascade slowly to the ground, and as they fall use the attack-powered Natural Gift to set them ablaze. The Magical Leaves shouldnt burn up quickly so it should form a very lively showing of autumns firey colors!"

Showeray Contest-Round 3





Ahh, the Swap Appeal. Each competitor has taken another competitors Pokemon, and are trying an appeal with each. Let's see how they come out! Three people are to be eliminated from this round, so let's hope for some amazing appeals.

#1: Asilynne and Ail (GL's)
Swords Dance~Magical Leaf~Natural Power

Asi chooses Lanturn's Leafeon, which he obliges to. She kneels down and gives the Leafeon a few commands and choice worlds of encouragement, and Ail skips out there merrily. He growls at the audience, before swishing his tail let and right. He then dives and pounces in erratic manners, each landing becoming more and more precise-since his tail hits right where his feet land. The dance is intricate, mezermising, and ultimately surprising when a flurry of leaves shoot up from the underbrush of this Bamboo forest.

As the Leaves glow and flutter, Ail blows a breath of Power in the sky. It takes on a form ... of Fire! It streams all around, burning the leaves in an intricate pattern that seems to surround Ail. But at the last second, as the last of the burning leaves fall to the ground, Ail jumps free of the fire, and stands proudly. The audience claps, and Ail leaves center stage

#2: Crazy Elf Boy and Petallion (Ro)
Sweet Scent~Leaf Storm~Pin Missile

Up next comes Petallion, Rossymore's Roserade, commanded by Elf. Elf gives Petals a general idea, and she runs with it. The crowd watches as Petals makes her way through the bamboo, taking deep breaths as she runs by, feeling calm and serene. When she has all their attention, she extends her petalled arms out and force the leaves to rip out and around in a blade like fashion. They fly out and slice the bamboo in the nearby area, carving and shaping them as well as tossing them skywards.

As the bamboo falls, they are subjected to a barrage of Pinmissiles. The barrage hits its targets and the Bamboo stalks rotate in the air, spinning clockwise, or counterclockwise. They each land around the Roserade, as she stands there, arms corssed over her face. The <s> drugged</s> crowd applauds, as she leaves.

#3: Houndoom Lover and Kitsune Chan (Elf)
Magnet Rise~Focus Punch~Flash Cannon

Bamboocopters are fixed, and out leaps Kitsune chan. Houndoom chose him from Elf, and already gave him his orders. The Lucario eagerly agreed and collapses on teh ground, before curling up. Soon, the blue mass begins to rise, an unseen force at play. As he rises higher, his limbs begin to unril out-first one foot, then his head, then an arm....until all his limbs are hanging loosely. His fists begin to gflow and that seems to reanimate him, give him structure.

All of a sudden, he flexes forth and swings his arms together, crashing his fists into one another. The Brihgt Flash is harnessed and then thrown down as a massive energy blast, that shatters the grouds and bamboo below. Hanging above still, the audience claps and Kit floats away!

#4: Chris 2.1 and Yuki (Asi)
Wish~Mirror Coat+Aqua Tail

Yuki strides on cautiously, after recieving orders for Chris. She seems to ponder her existance as she walks on, and looks to the sky for guidance. Far off, a star twinkles. She pads along, and soon, her tial becomes a massive entity of water, which she growls at before lungign forward with.

The Wish comes into play now, as Starlight begins to glisten around her, enhancing her Mirror like Coat. She performs many an acrobatinc swipe and flip with that Aquatic appendage, water flying in prismatic colors everywhere around her. Its truly psychadelic. She stops as teh lights fade, to a well rounded applause


#5: Rossymore and Scyther (2.1)
Silver Wind~Hidden Power~X-Scissor

Lastly, we have Rossymore, whom chose the Scyther Chris used ealier. Scyther begins by standing within teh grove, and releasing a Wind that billowed throughout the air. His wings buzzed and off he went , gfliding with the Silvery breeze.

Flyting, a electron orbital appeared, followe by another, and another, until 6 orbs were revolving around Scyther. They all shone with an..auburn appearance. With one arm, he waved them and off they went, flying with teh breeze,. He sosred after them, and to each sphere, he sliced it open, creating a dust explosion with each dismantled orb. As he fiished slicing the last one he landed, his blades covered with a fine layer of dirt.

Audience approves, and ...that's all!


~~Scores~~

#1) Asi and Ail
Score: 9.2/10

That was a very nice appeal. Good way to set your own Natural Power up-and the Fire wasn't all consuming, it was controlled. Definitly a plus. This appeal worked on the level which you wanted, an Autum feel-but a more destructive force rather than nature telling the leaves to fall. Still, it works.

#2) Crazy Elf and Petals
Score: 9.3/10

Heh, drugging the audience will always work, and that was creative,maing helicopters out of bamboo. No one but you would think of that. It was akin to a child creating something and going overboard with the idea. It was fresh and engaging, is what I mean by that. Again, a very nice appeal.

#3) Houndoom and Kitsune
Score: 9.7/10

Wow. High scores all aorund. I like the whole rising to power scenartio there. Unique way to use Flash Cannon too, in the aftermath of a Focus Punch. Very nice. It was a bit short, but that didn't take away from its power.

#4) Chris and Asi
Score: 9.6/10

Ahh the shimmering Eevee. I liked this appeal, becaue there was something otherworldly about it. Yuki seemed like a foreigner, and the way the light shone on both the water and her coat was absolutly mezmerizing.. But people can only look so long at a rainbow, no matter how many ways you sling it.

#5) Rossy and Scyther
Score: 9.3/10

Damned good Rossy. Damned good. Man all these appeals rocked. You got shafted on the Hidden Power-Ground wasn't the best, but it still made for nice dirt bomb explosions you cut through, like you were moving through enemy lands and they were dropping air bombs on you.

I guess it was that the wind was lacking in power since you had to speed to catch up with it, so that kinda held you back. But still a wonderful appeal.




End Notes


3 are gone. Didn't really wanna cut anyone, but bye Rossy, Asi and Elf! That leaves Chris and Houndy in the finals You'll have to use your own Pokemon for this one. Good Luck

[Chris 2.1]

After this one I'll take a contest Hiatus. Feel kinda bad always being in the finals :/

I'll use my Scyther.

[Rossymore]

Argh! Not again...I'll be back next month!

[Houndoom_Lover]

Oh my gosh! The Finals! *pulls my top hat lower* Oh, the antici- passion!

I shall use Sparky! We post our thing now, yes?

[DarkestLight]

Yes.

[Houndoom_Lover]

^__^ Wow, the finals, cross my fingers and here I go!

Okay, Sparky, be all up infront of the bamboo forset looking sad and weak. Use a tiny Thunder wave to prove that you're low on electricity. Look like you get an idea and then dash into the Bamboo forest. Preform a Rainy Day while you're in there, and as the clouds gather and it gets all dark and rumbly, bite down as many long Bamboo sticks as you can that will fit in your mouth. Now, run to the front with your bounty and drop all your harvested bamboo down. Quickly stick the Bamboos from end to end and freeze them together with Ice Fang. Then hold the huge stick in your mouth and sit on your back paws and act as though you're waiting but secretly you're preforming Thunder (on yourself) becoming an all-Natural Pokemon lightening rod as the mighty bolt comes straight down to you through your makeshift rob!

(Thunderwave~Rainy Day~Bite~Ice Fang~Thunder)

[Chris 2.1]

Right Scyther start with a silver wind to send a sparkling cloak around you. Next I want you to use double team to create an army of clones. Use agility to leap and soar among each other like ninjas. Next, unleash a bug buzz to release your primal cry and end by firing a hyper beam down to the ground.

[DarkestLight]

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!
