The Feather Festival
Area: The whole Contest takes place on a round battlefield. It is the roof of a tower which pierces the sky, and the audience are seated all around the outside.
FIRST APPEAL STAGE

Gym Leader Winona and Skarmory [F]:
“Skarmory! Use Steel Wing and agility to sweep through the clouds with shimmering silver wings! Then use a whirlwind to engulf yourself in the mallowy clouds!”
Steel Wing + Agility – Whirlwind
Skarmory starts by flying around, making her feathers shine a glowing silver. The bird pokemon fastens up the tempo and the silver makes a beautiful trail behind her wings. Then, Skarmory flaps her majestic silver wings and whips up the clouds from above. She gets shrouded in clouds, making the silver trail dissapear and only partly visualising Skarmory.
Score: 6.9
The Steelwing+Agility was a great idea and was a good appeal, although the sun kinda deleted the most effect. The whirlwind kinda stopped the whole point of using the Steelwing, so that cost you a few points. Still not a bad appeal.

Witch Sandra and Murkrow [M]
“Shroud the arena with Haze! Then, illuminate and tear through the underlaying fog with a thunderwave in all directions! Finish with a sky attack to shoot high into the sky, blazing with passion and fervor!”
Haze – Thunderwave – Sky Attack
Murkrow appears on the ‘stage’ and immediatly unleashes a vast smoke of eerie-ness. The crowd feels dense, but suddenly a hand of electricity sparkles through the smoke, attracting the crowd which leads to ‘aahs’ and ‘ooohs’. Then as the crowd is focused on the playfull electricity, Murkrow shoots above, unnoticed, and sheers over the crowd at high speed which makes them thrill with excitement.
Score: 9.1
A very nice appeal if I may say so. The crowd was immediatly aware that something was bound to happen, using the Haze attack. The electricity was a very nice way to get attention and focus it on something else then Murkrow itself so the Skyattack finished it up in a nice little package. Very nice appeal.

UuberVeteran ‘Mr V’ and Dragonite [M]
“Fly around the arena, shooting Flamethrower from your mouth! Then, dive down to the center of the arena platform, shooting a concentrated blizzard to create a fascinating ice sculpture! Then, as you land atop it, conduct a thunderbolt down through the ice to make a fascinating, yellow-blue sculpture!”
Flamethrower – Blizzard (concentrated) – Thunderbolt
Dragonite flaps his little, but strong wings and flies up, releasing a beautiful deep-red flametrower as he flies. The flamethrower resulted in a great rain of fire as it comes falling down. Dragonite releases a concentrated Blizzard on the center platform, creating a fascinating icesculpture. The dragon flies lower onto the sculpture and unleashes a wide spread surge of electricity through the statue, which can’t handle the weight and power and crushes down. Dragonite feels depressed and ashamed.
Score: 5.2
Although it was fine idea, dragonite is to heavy and the electricity made the sculpture unstable. I do liked the fire. Also, Icesculptures are common and worn out.

Coordinator Grace and Medicham [F]
“Levitate into the center of the arena with psychic, and lower yourself back down! Then I want you to charge and release a shadow ball into the air, before using High Jump Kick to shred it up in mid-air, releasing a mass of shadows all around!”
Psychic – Shadow Ball – High Jump Kick
An unusual sign-up for a Flying contest is this Medicham. She lifts herself up with her part psychic powers and lands in the arena. The crowd is dazzled by this appeal of pure psychic strenght and gets forced to look upwards when Medicham released a Shadowball in mid air. As if he was going to jump just as high as the shadowball, Medicham jumps, twists his leg around and smashes the orb of darkness. It spats apart in thousand small dark components making the crowds eyes flinch.
Score: 8.7
A nice appeal aswell. The fact that this fighting pokemon competed agains the flying pokemon through Psychic was a nice touch. Shadowball and HJK were nice and simpel, displaying Medichams strenght in both Fighting and Psychic aspect. Very nice.
