I choose my Shroomish, Takae!
Let's start things off by getting on the roller coaster. Hopefully it should run still. Once it gets to the top of the highest hill, or you get up there yourself, I want you to use a Swords Dance. Dance there, and as you dance, have your swords go out of control. Try to avoid them and end up falling off. As you fall, grab a lower part of the coaster's structure with a Grass Knot and slow down. However, this doesn't help and you end up falling. As you hit, use a Fake Tears and then fake dead.

I'll enter with Apophis, my male ekans.
Apophis! I'm going to send you out behind one of those creepy clown face kinda things--you know, the ones with the hole where the mouth would be so you can throw beanbags into it and win like eighty points or something.
Anyway, start with a double team out of sight--use the clown's face, or a wall, or whatever happens, to be handy, to block the audience's line of sight. Work up some speed, and hopefully set up some creepy rustling noises from no one-knows-where as you go slithering through the leaves and stuff.
Next, pull it to a halt behind the clown's face and spit a toxic through its mouth. Try to stay out of sight while you do this; just get that nasty, viscous poison to drip kind of grotesquely through its mouth, then slither out right afterwards, letting your clones follow you through.
Once you hit the ground on the other side, line up with your clones, rear up, and the lot of you give the crowd your best scary face.
If there's no convenient clown face of the given description, then any hole or slit will work for this appeal--something like a grate (wide enough for ekans to slip through, of course), a pipe, or even just the crack below a door on one of those teacup things that spin. It just doesn't give the cool "vomiting evil serpents" effect, that's all.

YAY! NEW AVATAR! :D
Sorry if the style differs a little from reffing to reffing. I reffed it in five batches, so my mood changed from each batch, along with how I typed it
Also, just because I want to get this up, I am double posting with the contest results:
Byrus and Yami the Houndour
Byrus approaches the fair grounds, being the first one up. He grabs his Pokeball and hurls it towards the center of the fairgrounds, revealing...
...A cloud of poisonous smoke!? Well, that is quite creepy! I don't know what to expect whatsoever! The suspense is killing me! Whatever is in there, it must have something up its sleeves.
And it proves that with an eerie howl, ringing out across the fairgrounds, setting everybody on edge. Nobody knows what to expect! A Mightyena? A Manectric? Maybe even a hell hound such as Houndoom! Oh god, I am getting nervous! What could they be plotting!?
Hmm? Is something moving in there? I can't quite tell. The smog may have cleared a little, but it is still far too thick to te-
HOLY CRAP! Did... Did a Houndour just spring out of there!? I can't tell! That thing is moving too much for me to get a clear idea! Its jaws are just snapping wildly at everybody, as if it is a rabid beast, obsessed with devouring our very souls. That is just too creepy!

Not bad, but I think you may have been able to utilize the setting a bit more. The transitions were pretty good, though. All in all, an slightly above-average performance.

Full Metal Cookies and L'Arc~Rn~Ciel the Togekiss
Full Metal Cookies is up next, and she seems ready for this contest. She approaches the Merry-Go-Round, throws a ball, and reveals...
A Togekiss? Erm, wow, I feel sorry for her... There is no way she can win with that... Or is there?
L'Arc~En~Ciel starts off with a creepy smile as he floats over the decrepit Merry-Go-Round, unnerving even the most steely-nerved spectators. Wow, I did not think a Togekiss could look so unwholesome! I don't think he can do much else th-
And I spoke too soon. L'Arc appears to be using Nasty Plot, dreaming up some horrid ways to screw with us. Ugh, even a Gastly can't pull that off. It's like looking into the eyes of a demonic child!
And now he is starting to send more chills down everybody's spine as he begins to charge an Aura Sphere, tainted with spiritual energy. The dark, purple energy is leaking out, being forced back by the purity of L'Arc's Aura. It's almost as if he evolved into a Haunter.
He seems to be finishing off now, firing the orb of purity into the sky, leaving him in the dark shadows of Shadow Ball, as if symbolizing the remaining purity in his body was just forced out, leaving nothing but pure evil. He is now cackling, and all I can see through the darkness is a red light

Very pretty name ^_^ The performance was very good, considering you used a Togekiss. But that also hurt you a little, using a nice thing like L'Arc~En~Ciel didn't exactly always put fear in my heart in the performance. The ending was nice.
Total Score: 27.9
Animorph and Lucius the Ralts
It will be pretty hard for Animorph to top Full Metal and L'Arc, but it doesn't seem to stop him. He is full of hope as he approaches the fair grounds and send out his Pokemon. The light is now fading, revealing a...
AWW! HOW CUTE! A LITTLE RALTS! I don't see how he will win this competition with something so cute! Then again, the same went for L'Arc, and look at how that turned out. Anyways, back to the competition.
Ralts appears to be climbing the rollercoaster, trying to reach the appex quickly. And as he reaches it, a creepy, perverted Lucky Chant escapes his lips, causing all that hear it to shudder in fear. God, that thing sounds so... So unnatural!
His chanting fades off into the wind as unnatural orbs of light begin to form and fly out from the little Pokemon. All of them go towards the lake, but the algae is so thick that the light can't reflect off of it properly. Well, that is a bit of a dissappointment.
Lucius frowns as his attempt to scare us has failed. Trying to scrape up one last scare, he begins to use Psychic, bringing the orbs and debris close to him. The wind picks up as the lights and shards of glass, nails, rotting wood, and other garbage swirl around him. It is effectively blocking the view of him, as there is so much stuff littered around the grounds...
Hmm? What's this? All of it suddenly dropped to the ground! And Ralts appears to be fainted! Well, that got a shudder out of the audience, but after the Confuse Ray fiasco, it isn't enough to allow him to match the first two

The "Chant or Howl scarily, then do whatever" thing is getting tired pretty fast. I liked how you tried the Confuse Ray, but that sadly failed. Debris with Psychic was nice :D The performance in all wasn't very connected, and was pretty much just average.
Total Score: 19.8
Blastoise428 and Napol the Abra
As Blastoise approaches the fairgrounds an hour after Animorph performed (the debris pile up was interfering with the contest proceedings -yes, it was that bad), all of us hold our breath, wondering what he will send out. He continues to walk, going to where the debris was before, and sending out...
GAH! My eyes! Nothing but red around the whole Rollercoaster! What the hell is going on!? The audience also seems bewildered by this move as well. What could he be up t-
FRACK! An Abra just came out of nowhere in front of me and the entire audience, freaking them all out. Some of them scream, soon being drowned out by a booming, psychic voice. The voice is taunting the crowds, calling them wimps and cowards, and that this is nothing. Thankfully, the voice soon fades as the Abra is called back

Red Flash was awesome, I could totally imagine that suddenly happening. The Teleport was connected nicely, and the Taunt was too. A simple and nice performance, but it seemed too brisk and fast. That was the only downside, so overall great performance!
Total Score: 29.1
Grass King and Tadpole
Fracking hell, that Abra nearly gave me a heart attack! I feel sorry for whoever goes next, as that will be impossible to top.
Grass King is now walking out, towards the ferris wheel. He fingers his Pokeball and grabs it. He then hurls it into the top most carriage. As the Pokemon is let out, a heavy fog of sorts begins to form, covering the field with a heavy mist. Nobody can see anything at all, let alone me and the other two judges.
Gah! Stop it with the surprises already! First a rabid Houndour, then an evil Togekiss, then a demonic Abra, and now this sudden tempurature drop! God, it is FREEZING here! The audience appears to agree with me as they all shiver.
Hmm? What was that shattering noise? The audience appears confused until they see a Poliwag. Well, overall, a weak performance. Of course, the Abra DID steal alot of Tadpole's thunder.

Unusual.... If this was in a winter theme or something, the score would be MUCH higher. However, I think you needed to utilize the field more. The Mist was good but generic, Icy Wind didn't fit the "spooky" theme much, and Ice Ball was kind of random.
Total Score: 7.5
Shadowstar and Moonshine
Well, after that *ahem* interesting performance from Tadpole and Grass King, we have all unwound. So, let's move on to the next appeal, shall we?
Shadowstar approaches the fairgrounds, some mist from before still clinging to the ground. She throws her pokeball to the Cotton Candy stand, letting out an adorable Eevee. So, this probably means that the audience is going to get the living daylights scared out of them. Again.
The Eevee looks at the stand inquisitavely, before launching a Quick Attack at the cobwebs. Her fur is now covered with white, sticky threads, making her look like a wrapped up Egyptian mummy of sorts.
She opens her jaws and seems surprised by how easily the cobwebs tear apart. Well, they are pretty old, after all. I am surprised that they still stick to anything!
Anyways, Eevee is now finishing off the performance by running around, howling like a scared animal being chased by a hoard of Gastly. The cobwebs are disintergrating as well, which helps to add to the whole performance, as it looks like spectres are trying to tear right at her! All in all, a solid performance. Not scream worthy, but VERY shudder-inducing!
Icalasari's Score:
9.7 (Note: I just closed my eyes to imagine it, and scared the living daylights out of me! XD I nearly fell out of my seat!)
Echo's Score:
8.0 (I was hyper and the first 3 times I thought of it it always turned out as a chibi Eevee. I was laughing a little too hard. Then I was serious, but my impression was already ruined.)

Very nice performance X3 It was very solid, and I don't really have anything bad to say about it! Nice use of the field AND incorporating the theme into the performance. A job well done :D
Total Score: 27.7
shadow_lugia and Spectre
shadow_lugia now approaches the fairgrounds, passing by Shadowstar, who has just called back her Eevee. She grins and she fingers her pokeball. I wonder what's next? A diabolical Pichu? An evil Magby? A Jigglypuff that will literally pop?
She hurls her Pokeball and sends out a Spirito-gahckt! That screeching noise sounds like a ton of wailing, tortured souls! 108 of them, to be precise! And to top it all off, an eerie, purple mist is blowing through the arena, carrying with it feelings of sorrow, fear, and anguish.
As the last shreds of the wind carry away the final screams from the ghost Pokemon, we get another shock. Some of the shreds are being grabbed by an invisible force that seems to make the audience very uneasy as it strikes them. Some of them flinch from the very touch of this presence.
As people try to shake off this malevolent force, a Ponyta goes flying by, nearly striking some of the audience members! Leaves go flying by, as does debris and shreds of cobweb left from the previous performance. As this happens, Spectre lets out an evil laugh, as if he is trying to screw with our heads.

Using the laughs and screeches were very good; made me feel like I was on the stage! The Dark Pulse was kind of out of place, but the rest of the performance fitted very well.
Total Score: 28.3
Shining Eevee and Ema
Next up is Shining Eevee. I cannot tell from here whether that is nervousness that she is showing or if it is just the shadows playing tricks with me. Anyways, she throws a ball into the shadows, which seem to get darker upon the ball opening. Everybody seems intent on that one spot, expecting something to burst out of it at any second...
Some movement appears to be happening in the middle of the grounds, but is that a trick of the light, or an attack? Or is it just everybody - myself included - imagining things out of anxiety?
And to everyones surprise and shock, blue lights begin to dance from underneath the rollercoaster, on the other side of the field! In the middle of it all is a Ralts, which, under normal circumstances, is quite cute, but seems very unwholesome with those lights dancing around it.

6.8
Echo's Score:
5.0 (Not quite as bad as the Grass King incident.)
Oooohface's Score:
7.0
The performance kind of faded, starting out strong and scary, but ending awkwardly. The Will-O-Wisp wasn't a very good ending, but it was slightly connected to the rest of the performance, which is good.
Total Score: 18.8
rock-ground and Darkness
Performing next is rock-ground. I wonder what kind of Pokemon he is going to send out? An Onix? A Geodude? Maybe a Rhyhorn? Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Anyways, getting away from the jokes, rock-ground is fingering his Pokeball while glaring at me. Was it something I said?
He hucks the Pokeball at the nearby merry-go-round, revealing a Spiritomb. The Spiritomb, named Darkness, sets out to show us why she is called that. The area around her is becoming extremely dark, hiding all signs of her body. Not even a speck of purple can be seen through the darkness!
She seems to be adding to it now, a purple wind pouring into the fairground. The spirits that inhabit this foul wind are screaming - quite literally - right past us. The wind blows by, filling up the grounds quickly.
With the air now a putrid purple, the dark blob surrounding Darkness is dispelling. I wonder wh-
She blew up the fraking merry-go-round! The thing is in pieces all over the place! Wood is strewn all over, cloth now drapes parts of the roller coaster, and there is now a charred metal Ponyta embedded into the ground near the audience.
Icalasari's Score:
4.3 (Notes: The Hyper Beam ruined the whole thing. Even when I went to imagine the whole thing in my head, I just could not get over the fact that instead of doing something creepy, you went ahead and blew up the merry-go-round. That isn't horror. That is just being an action junkie. Heck, Will-o-Wisp would have been alot better. Burning down the merry-go-round admidst a purple wind, the ghostly flames licking the old wooden structure eagerly... Mmm... Then again, I might be a Pyromaniac. Either way, the Hyper Beam was a disappointment)

turbler and Neko
Entering the field, admist the clearing purple air, is turbler. She throws her Pokeball, letting out an Eevee. Neko the Eevee begins by fixing us with a deadly stare before begining to laugh madly. She seems to continue to laugh while doing a bizzare little ritual. As she performs this ritual, she becomes slower.
Apparently shocked by the speed drop, she begins to cry wildly out of... pain? What? The audience, instead of being shocked, appears to be confused by a disjointed performance. The Eevee continues to wail from the pain that being slow apparently causes.
She now gets up and seems to be pissed off. She grabs the Ponyta that is embedded in the ground, picks it up, and hurls it towards the audience. Luckily, we had a Mr. Mime put up a barrier before the whole event, expecting something like this to happen. She continues to thrash about, confusing the audience even further as she begins to attack every small thing, including pieces of the merry-go-round

I see where you were trying to go with this, but it didn't work so well. The thrashing was just weird, and I didn't exactly get why that was needed.
Total Score: 12.4
greategret and Astral
Us judges interviewed the remaining contestants that came after rock-ground to check for appeals involving the merry-go-round. We found out that greategret needed it, so if you were all wondering why you had to wait a few hours, well, now you know. greategret approaches the merry-go-round - I am amazed that the Alakazam was able to put it back exactly the way it was - and sends out a Cleffa onto the roof of it.
The Cleffa, named Astral, begins by dancing on the roof of the merry-go-round in a circle. It seems to be quite slow, apparently to try to take our minds off of the fact that she was, well, dancing. Hopefully the rest of the performance will go well to make up for that
Astral is now looking up into the sky, signing in a hushed tone. The song sounds sort of sweet, but has a hint of corruption in it, as if Astral is trying to sing a twisted version of a soothing song. She continues to sing as she dances, the dance going even slower now, as if a major tragedy struck her recently.
Rain begins to fall in sheets, and now the Cleffa is doing her slow dance and song in a spiral towards the center of the roof. She soon arrives and stops singing after around ten seconds. Then lightning hits her, and she falls down, charred. She stays still, as if dead
Icalasari's Score:
0.5 (Notes: I regret having to give you such a low score, but that was more touching than scary for me. If this contest wasn't horror-based, then you would have gotten one of the highest scores from me)
Echo's Score:
7.5
Oooohface's score:
8.5
I quite liked this performance; it seemed very nice and serene. However, this is a SCARY contest, and it didn't fit that well, except for the last strike of electricity. Very well done, but not very good in terms of theme.
Total Score: 16.5
MurrMurr and Gnar
MurrMurr is now walking out, holding a Pokeball. It throws it towards the centre, letting out a Duskull. Gnar the Duskull begins by flying towards the ferris wheel and trying to wreck it with a series of light punches. Despite the age of the wheel, it will take more than that to wreck it.
Upset about failing the first section of his performance, Gnar flies a bit away from the ferris wheel and sends out a few ghostly blue flames, crackling with spiritual energy. He sends them floating to the old structure, where they begin to immediately lick at the metal, burning through the old, rusted metal. The structure soon sags as it catches on fire.
Gnar now finishes up by charging a ball of energy. What is he planning to do? He fires it straight at the ferris wheel, blowing it up. Burning wood and metal goes flying, threatening to destroy the whole place. The Alakazam we had called over guides the hunks to bare spots of land. Sorry MurrMurr, but seeing as how others still need the park to perform, and that destroying it would require weeks of rebuilding and artificially aging the park, we had to interfere
Icalasari's Score:
5.7 (Notes: I did take into account that the performance was halted abruptely by me, so do not worry, that did not affect your score. I also told the other judges not to take that into effect. What DID affect your score, however, was the failed Shadow Sneak and the fact that you tried to destroy the park. It may work for others, but for me, blowing things up is not scary. At least you used a Ghost type attack though, which helped out)
Echo's Score:
6.5
Oooohface's score:
5.9
A textbook example of great idea, bad execution. Working with the ferris wheel was good because you were utilizing the arena, but you could have used more pizazz in the performance.
Total Score: 18.1
Ruieko and Star
After that close call with the fair grounds, well, I am looking forward to a less destructive appeal right now. Up next is Ruieko, who hurls her Pokeball, revealing her Starly, Star. Star looks at the audience, then the moon. She then spreads her wings and zooms up, stopping in front of the moon, creating a dark silhouette against the blood red moon.
As she flaps slowly to maintain her altitude, a being seems to bleed from her very body, oozing out. It solidifies slowly against the backdrop as Star flies up above it. Soon, only the Substitute remains in front of the moon, its very existence haunting the audience, chilling them to their very core.
WOAH! The Substitute was just grabbed by Star, who is now hurtling towards the ground at high speeds, like a blood thirsty bird of prey! She continues to plummet at high speeds as her Substitute struggles to escape, tearing itself apart against the dark energy that is flowing from Star's claws. The two of them slam into the ground, Star viciously finishing off her mock opponent

moon-panther and Ming
Next up is moon-panther, who approaches the fair grounds with confidence. I wonder what she has planned for her appeal? After all, with all of the performances, it is going to be hard for her to have an impact. Anyways, she grabs her Pokeball and hurls it into the center of the fair grounds. A timid Ralts comes out. Hmm... Odd. Why would someone choose a Pokemon not suited for this competition? After all, that Pokemon looks like it is on the verge of tears!
Huh? What is that sound? It sounds like a little girl giggling. I wonder if somebody lost a child? Well, they better go get them, as something seems off now. The Ralts is still nervous, and red eyes are appearing all around the fair grounds. The eyes peer from all over, rapidly appearing and disappearing. Each one is accompanied with the little girl's giggle, which seems unwholesome in and of itself.
Suddenly, the eyes cease. Odd. I wonder wh-Holy crap! A Ralts appeared out of nowhere, beating up the timid Ralts with a barrage of punches! The Ralts is crying as the crazed Pokemon beats on her, tearing her to shreds while giggling! Her eyes have the look of a crazed being, unsaitable in her thirst for blood lust. All in all, a decent performance. Didn't see it coming

Oooohface's Score:

Yet another solid performance. The Subsitute idea has been used way too much now, but I'm not deducting you for that: Just keep in mind to try not to use it next time (that goes for everyone) and be creative. The fight in the end was very cool.
Total Score: 22.8
Empoleon and Takae
Empoleon now takes the stage, grabbing his Pokeball as he approaches the Roller Coaster. It is a bit weak, but still holding strong. Oddly enough, some of the carts still run, likely due to a Rotom making the decrepit generator its home.The ones that are on the track run unnaturally smoothly, despite the rust on their wheels. Empoleon hucks the Pokeball onto the Roller Coaster, letting out a small mushroom Pokemon. The Pokemon looks around, then, seeing a car coming straight at him, jumps and gets into it.
As it approaches the first hill, the Shroomish appears to be getting ready. He pops his head-body out and views the surroundings, looking for something. He spots the highest point on the coaster, and then pops back down. After a little wait, the car approaches the point and Takae begins to dance, spinning around. He does this for a little while, then appears to get a little annoyed as the performance doesn't seem to go his way for some reason.
He seems to be recovering from this though, as he... JUMPS OUT OF THE CART!? Is that thing suicidal!? The Shroomish begins to hurtle towards the ground as he uses Grass Knot. The Shroomish begins to panic when it realizes that the attack won't stop his fall. This won't turn out well, will it?
The Shroomish screams and thrashes, trying to slow his fall towards the ground. It does not work however as the shroom nears the ground. Tears flow out from behind him, and I do not think that these are fake ones. He slams into the ground quite painfully, hitting the overgrown weeds that were grown via Grass Knot. Empoleon rushes over and tends to his injured Pokemon right away as a Pokemon Medic rushes over to give her assistance
Icalasari's Score:
0 (Notes: Next time review the attacks effects. I could not give you even one point as all of the attacks did not go the way you planned at all, leading to this nasty ending)

I kinda see where you're trying to get to this, but there were so many other, more creative things you could have done instead of dance, jump off a cart, try to catch yourself but fail and cry. Also, this was not very scary, except for the injury part. Not that I'm a sadist or anything...
Total Score: 2
Negrek and Apophis
After an hour passes, our last contestant finally approaches the field. Negrek has decided to enter our competition. She walks to the fair grounds with her Pokeball, and throws it behind one of the games. Damnit, I hate these appeals! They always find a way to freak me out! Of course, that is the point of the whole competition, but still...
Anyways, the Pokeball releases the Pokemon, which begins to create some noise. Rustling noises that seem to resemble a death rattle let out by an ill person just as they are nearing the end of their life. The noise continues for a little while, getting louder and wilder, until they suddenly cease.
Whatever is going on, it is quite creepy. Hmm? What is that? Gack! Some sort of sludge just came out of a clown's mouth! No, not a real one, one of the one used for the games. Guess that the death rattle was for that cut out. The poisonous goop oozes out as the clown appears to choke out hoardes of wriggling snakes, all of them rushing out as if the thing vomited violently after being cursed.
The snakes - Ekans, it appears - all begin to line up in front of the stand. They continue to file up in a straight line, locking the audience in their sights. They soon finish and begin to give us creepy, scream inducing looks! Its like if they are all plotting! The things all look maniacle! Ugh!

Next Appeal Round:
Arena: The Haunted House
As it gets closer to winter, the whole place becomes cold due to cracks in windows and walls. The structure is two stories tall, and despite being on the fair grounds, it was oddly never meant to be here. In fact, according to the diary entries of the first owner of the fair grounds, it just appeared one day. Nobody ever entered it until today. The audience watches from special tents that have a live feed to the house, so the appeal may be made anywhere in the building. The first story has a decrepit grand hall, with rotting stairs and an old crystal chandelier so dusty that light emitted from it is very dim. The kitchen is missing a section of wall, and leaves have piled up next to the stove. The cellar, which one can access directly from the main hall, is quite barren and a bit of a maze. The second floor has many bedrooms, each on having not been touched for years. All but one of them are quite decrepit, with mouldy linen and rotting furniture, with the floor breaking in some sections. The one room that isn't decrepit look like a little girls room, and is in pristine condition, leading those who have examined the house just before opening it for the contest to believe that it is haunted. Even Gengar won't go in. And the most bizarre feature of this house? It has been demolished several times, only to have reformed by the next day. As such, if destruction will help your appeal, then you may go wild without worrying about destroying the whole place. And remember, fear is the name of the game!
Conditions:
-In this round, you must choose a room, or else it will be assumed that you are performing in the grand hall
-You may not use the same Pokemon you used last round
Also, just because I want to get this up, I am double posting with the contest results:
Byrus and Yami the Houndour
Byrus approaches the fair grounds, being the first one up. He grabs his Pokeball and hurls it towards the center of the fairgrounds, revealing...
...A cloud of poisonous smoke!? Well, that is quite creepy! I don't know what to expect whatsoever! The suspense is killing me! Whatever is in there, it must have something up its sleeves.
And it proves that with an eerie howl, ringing out across the fairgrounds, setting everybody on edge. Nobody knows what to expect! A Mightyena? A Manectric? Maybe even a hell hound such as Houndoom! Oh god, I am getting nervous! What could they be plotting!?
Hmm? Is something moving in there? I can't quite tell. The smog may have cleared a little, but it is still far too thick to te-
HOLY CRAP! Did... Did a Houndour just spring out of there!? I can't tell! That thing is moving too much for me to get a clear idea! Its jaws are just snapping wildly at everybody, as if it is a rabid beast, obsessed with devouring our very souls. That is just too creepy!

Not bad, but I think you may have been able to utilize the setting a bit more. The transitions were pretty good, though. All in all, an slightly above-average performance.

Full Metal Cookies and L'Arc~Rn~Ciel the Togekiss
Full Metal Cookies is up next, and she seems ready for this contest. She approaches the Merry-Go-Round, throws a ball, and reveals...
A Togekiss? Erm, wow, I feel sorry for her... There is no way she can win with that... Or is there?
L'Arc~En~Ciel starts off with a creepy smile as he floats over the decrepit Merry-Go-Round, unnerving even the most steely-nerved spectators. Wow, I did not think a Togekiss could look so unwholesome! I don't think he can do much else th-
And I spoke too soon. L'Arc appears to be using Nasty Plot, dreaming up some horrid ways to screw with us. Ugh, even a Gastly can't pull that off. It's like looking into the eyes of a demonic child!
And now he is starting to send more chills down everybody's spine as he begins to charge an Aura Sphere, tainted with spiritual energy. The dark, purple energy is leaking out, being forced back by the purity of L'Arc's Aura. It's almost as if he evolved into a Haunter.
He seems to be finishing off now, firing the orb of purity into the sky, leaving him in the dark shadows of Shadow Ball, as if symbolizing the remaining purity in his body was just forced out, leaving nothing but pure evil. He is now cackling, and all I can see through the darkness is a red light

Very pretty name ^_^ The performance was very good, considering you used a Togekiss. But that also hurt you a little, using a nice thing like L'Arc~En~Ciel didn't exactly always put fear in my heart in the performance. The ending was nice.
Total Score: 27.9
Animorph and Lucius the Ralts
It will be pretty hard for Animorph to top Full Metal and L'Arc, but it doesn't seem to stop him. He is full of hope as he approaches the fair grounds and send out his Pokemon. The light is now fading, revealing a...
AWW! HOW CUTE! A LITTLE RALTS! I don't see how he will win this competition with something so cute! Then again, the same went for L'Arc, and look at how that turned out. Anyways, back to the competition.
Ralts appears to be climbing the rollercoaster, trying to reach the appex quickly. And as he reaches it, a creepy, perverted Lucky Chant escapes his lips, causing all that hear it to shudder in fear. God, that thing sounds so... So unnatural!
His chanting fades off into the wind as unnatural orbs of light begin to form and fly out from the little Pokemon. All of them go towards the lake, but the algae is so thick that the light can't reflect off of it properly. Well, that is a bit of a dissappointment.
Lucius frowns as his attempt to scare us has failed. Trying to scrape up one last scare, he begins to use Psychic, bringing the orbs and debris close to him. The wind picks up as the lights and shards of glass, nails, rotting wood, and other garbage swirl around him. It is effectively blocking the view of him, as there is so much stuff littered around the grounds...
Hmm? What's this? All of it suddenly dropped to the ground! And Ralts appears to be fainted! Well, that got a shudder out of the audience, but after the Confuse Ray fiasco, it isn't enough to allow him to match the first two

The "Chant or Howl scarily, then do whatever" thing is getting tired pretty fast. I liked how you tried the Confuse Ray, but that sadly failed. Debris with Psychic was nice :D The performance in all wasn't very connected, and was pretty much just average.
Total Score: 19.8
Blastoise428 and Napol the Abra
As Blastoise approaches the fairgrounds an hour after Animorph performed (the debris pile up was interfering with the contest proceedings -yes, it was that bad), all of us hold our breath, wondering what he will send out. He continues to walk, going to where the debris was before, and sending out...
GAH! My eyes! Nothing but red around the whole Rollercoaster! What the hell is going on!? The audience also seems bewildered by this move as well. What could he be up t-
FRACK! An Abra just came out of nowhere in front of me and the entire audience, freaking them all out. Some of them scream, soon being drowned out by a booming, psychic voice. The voice is taunting the crowds, calling them wimps and cowards, and that this is nothing. Thankfully, the voice soon fades as the Abra is called back

Red Flash was awesome, I could totally imagine that suddenly happening. The Teleport was connected nicely, and the Taunt was too. A simple and nice performance, but it seemed too brisk and fast. That was the only downside, so overall great performance!
Total Score: 29.1
Grass King and Tadpole
Fracking hell, that Abra nearly gave me a heart attack! I feel sorry for whoever goes next, as that will be impossible to top.
Grass King is now walking out, towards the ferris wheel. He fingers his Pokeball and grabs it. He then hurls it into the top most carriage. As the Pokemon is let out, a heavy fog of sorts begins to form, covering the field with a heavy mist. Nobody can see anything at all, let alone me and the other two judges.
Gah! Stop it with the surprises already! First a rabid Houndour, then an evil Togekiss, then a demonic Abra, and now this sudden tempurature drop! God, it is FREEZING here! The audience appears to agree with me as they all shiver.
Hmm? What was that shattering noise? The audience appears confused until they see a Poliwag. Well, overall, a weak performance. Of course, the Abra DID steal alot of Tadpole's thunder.

Unusual.... If this was in a winter theme or something, the score would be MUCH higher. However, I think you needed to utilize the field more. The Mist was good but generic, Icy Wind didn't fit the "spooky" theme much, and Ice Ball was kind of random.
Total Score: 7.5
Shadowstar and Moonshine
Well, after that *ahem* interesting performance from Tadpole and Grass King, we have all unwound. So, let's move on to the next appeal, shall we?
Shadowstar approaches the fairgrounds, some mist from before still clinging to the ground. She throws her pokeball to the Cotton Candy stand, letting out an adorable Eevee. So, this probably means that the audience is going to get the living daylights scared out of them. Again.
The Eevee looks at the stand inquisitavely, before launching a Quick Attack at the cobwebs. Her fur is now covered with white, sticky threads, making her look like a wrapped up Egyptian mummy of sorts.
She opens her jaws and seems surprised by how easily the cobwebs tear apart. Well, they are pretty old, after all. I am surprised that they still stick to anything!
Anyways, Eevee is now finishing off the performance by running around, howling like a scared animal being chased by a hoard of Gastly. The cobwebs are disintergrating as well, which helps to add to the whole performance, as it looks like spectres are trying to tear right at her! All in all, a solid performance. Not scream worthy, but VERY shudder-inducing!

shadow_lugia and Spectre
shadow_lugia now approaches the fairgrounds, passing by Shadowstar, who has just called back her Eevee. She grins and she fingers her pokeball. I wonder what's next? A diabolical Pichu? An evil Magby? A Jigglypuff that will literally pop?
She hurls her Pokeball and sends out a Spirito-gahckt! That screeching noise sounds like a ton of wailing, tortured souls! 108 of them, to be precise! And to top it all off, an eerie, purple mist is blowing through the arena, carrying with it feelings of sorrow, fear, and anguish.
As the last shreds of the wind carry away the final screams from the ghost Pokemon, we get another shock. Some of the shreds are being grabbed by an invisible force that seems to make the audience very uneasy as it strikes them. Some of them flinch from the very touch of this presence.
As people try to shake off this malevolent force, a Ponyta goes flying by, nearly striking some of the audience members! Leaves go flying by, as does debris and shreds of cobweb left from the previous performance. As this happens, Spectre lets out an evil laugh, as if he is trying to screw with our heads.

Shining Eevee and Ema
Next up is Shining Eevee. I cannot tell from here whether that is nervousness that she is showing or if it is just the shadows playing tricks with me. Anyways, she throws a ball into the shadows, which seem to get darker upon the ball opening. Everybody seems intent on that one spot, expecting something to burst out of it at any second...
Some movement appears to be happening in the middle of the grounds, but is that a trick of the light, or an attack? Or is it just everybody - myself included - imagining things out of anxiety?
And to everyones surprise and shock, blue lights begin to dance from underneath the rollercoaster, on the other side of the field! In the middle of it all is a Ralts, which, under normal circumstances, is quite cute, but seems very unwholesome with those lights dancing around it.

rock-ground and Darkness
Performing next is rock-ground. I wonder what kind of Pokemon he is going to send out? An Onix? A Geodude? Maybe a Rhyhorn? Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Anyways, getting away from the jokes, rock-ground is fingering his Pokeball while glaring at me. Was it something I said?
He hucks the Pokeball at the nearby merry-go-round, revealing a Spiritomb. The Spiritomb, named Darkness, sets out to show us why she is called that. The area around her is becoming extremely dark, hiding all signs of her body. Not even a speck of purple can be seen through the darkness!
She seems to be adding to it now, a purple wind pouring into the fairground. The spirits that inhabit this foul wind are screaming - quite literally - right past us. The wind blows by, filling up the grounds quickly.
With the air now a putrid purple, the dark blob surrounding Darkness is dispelling. I wonder wh-
She blew up the fraking merry-go-round! The thing is in pieces all over the place! Wood is strewn all over, cloth now drapes parts of the roller coaster, and there is now a charred metal Ponyta embedded into the ground near the audience.
Icalasari's Score:
4.3 (Notes: The Hyper Beam ruined the whole thing. Even when I went to imagine the whole thing in my head, I just could not get over the fact that instead of doing something creepy, you went ahead and blew up the merry-go-round. That isn't horror. That is just being an action junkie. Heck, Will-o-Wisp would have been alot better. Burning down the merry-go-round admidst a purple wind, the ghostly flames licking the old wooden structure eagerly... Mmm... Then again, I might be a Pyromaniac. Either way, the Hyper Beam was a disappointment)

turbler and Neko
Entering the field, admist the clearing purple air, is turbler. She throws her Pokeball, letting out an Eevee. Neko the Eevee begins by fixing us with a deadly stare before begining to laugh madly. She seems to continue to laugh while doing a bizzare little ritual. As she performs this ritual, she becomes slower.
Apparently shocked by the speed drop, she begins to cry wildly out of... pain? What? The audience, instead of being shocked, appears to be confused by a disjointed performance. The Eevee continues to wail from the pain that being slow apparently causes.
She now gets up and seems to be pissed off. She grabs the Ponyta that is embedded in the ground, picks it up, and hurls it towards the audience. Luckily, we had a Mr. Mime put up a barrier before the whole event, expecting something like this to happen. She continues to thrash about, confusing the audience even further as she begins to attack every small thing, including pieces of the merry-go-round

greategret and Astral
Us judges interviewed the remaining contestants that came after rock-ground to check for appeals involving the merry-go-round. We found out that greategret needed it, so if you were all wondering why you had to wait a few hours, well, now you know. greategret approaches the merry-go-round - I am amazed that the Alakazam was able to put it back exactly the way it was - and sends out a Cleffa onto the roof of it.
The Cleffa, named Astral, begins by dancing on the roof of the merry-go-round in a circle. It seems to be quite slow, apparently to try to take our minds off of the fact that she was, well, dancing. Hopefully the rest of the performance will go well to make up for that
Astral is now looking up into the sky, signing in a hushed tone. The song sounds sort of sweet, but has a hint of corruption in it, as if Astral is trying to sing a twisted version of a soothing song. She continues to sing as she dances, the dance going even slower now, as if a major tragedy struck her recently.
Rain begins to fall in sheets, and now the Cleffa is doing her slow dance and song in a spiral towards the center of the roof. She soon arrives and stops singing after around ten seconds. Then lightning hits her, and she falls down, charred. She stays still, as if dead

Total Score: 16.5
MurrMurr and Gnar
MurrMurr is now walking out, holding a Pokeball. It throws it towards the centre, letting out a Duskull. Gnar the Duskull begins by flying towards the ferris wheel and trying to wreck it with a series of light punches. Despite the age of the wheel, it will take more than that to wreck it.
Upset about failing the first section of his performance, Gnar flies a bit away from the ferris wheel and sends out a few ghostly blue flames, crackling with spiritual energy. He sends them floating to the old structure, where they begin to immediately lick at the metal, burning through the old, rusted metal. The structure soon sags as it catches on fire.
Gnar now finishes up by charging a ball of energy. What is he planning to do? He fires it straight at the ferris wheel, blowing it up. Burning wood and metal goes flying, threatening to destroy the whole place. The Alakazam we had called over guides the hunks to bare spots of land. Sorry MurrMurr, but seeing as how others still need the park to perform, and that destroying it would require weeks of rebuilding and artificially aging the park, we had to interfere
Icalasari's Score:
5.7 (Notes: I did take into account that the performance was halted abruptely by me, so do not worry, that did not affect your score. I also told the other judges not to take that into effect. What DID affect your score, however, was the failed Shadow Sneak and the fact that you tried to destroy the park. It may work for others, but for me, blowing things up is not scary. At least you used a Ghost type attack though, which helped out)

A textbook example of great idea, bad execution. Working with the ferris wheel was good because you were utilizing the arena, but you could have used more pizazz in the performance.

Ruieko and Star
After that close call with the fair grounds, well, I am looking forward to a less destructive appeal right now. Up next is Ruieko, who hurls her Pokeball, revealing her Starly, Star. Star looks at the audience, then the moon. She then spreads her wings and zooms up, stopping in front of the moon, creating a dark silhouette against the blood red moon.
As she flaps slowly to maintain her altitude, a being seems to bleed from her very body, oozing out. It solidifies slowly against the backdrop as Star flies up above it. Soon, only the Substitute remains in front of the moon, its very existence haunting the audience, chilling them to their very core.
WOAH! The Substitute was just grabbed by Star, who is now hurtling towards the ground at high speeds, like a blood thirsty bird of prey! She continues to plummet at high speeds as her Substitute struggles to escape, tearing itself apart against the dark energy that is flowing from Star's claws. The two of them slam into the ground, Star viciously finishing off her mock opponent

moon-panther and Ming
Next up is moon-panther, who approaches the fair grounds with confidence. I wonder what she has planned for her appeal? After all, with all of the performances, it is going to be hard for her to have an impact. Anyways, she grabs her Pokeball and hurls it into the center of the fair grounds. A timid Ralts comes out. Hmm... Odd. Why would someone choose a Pokemon not suited for this competition? After all, that Pokemon looks like it is on the verge of tears!
Huh? What is that sound? It sounds like a little girl giggling. I wonder if somebody lost a child? Well, they better go get them, as something seems off now. The Ralts is still nervous, and red eyes are appearing all around the fair grounds. The eyes peer from all over, rapidly appearing and disappearing. Each one is accompanied with the little girl's giggle, which seems unwholesome in and of itself.
Suddenly, the eyes cease. Odd. I wonder wh-Holy crap! A Ralts appeared out of nowhere, beating up the timid Ralts with a barrage of punches! The Ralts is crying as the crazed Pokemon beats on her, tearing her to shreds while giggling! Her eyes have the look of a crazed being, unsaitable in her thirst for blood lust. All in all, a decent performance. Didn't see it coming

Total Score: 22.8
Empoleon and Takae
Empoleon now takes the stage, grabbing his Pokeball as he approaches the Roller Coaster. It is a bit weak, but still holding strong. Oddly enough, some of the carts still run, likely due to a Rotom making the decrepit generator its home.The ones that are on the track run unnaturally smoothly, despite the rust on their wheels. Empoleon hucks the Pokeball onto the Roller Coaster, letting out a small mushroom Pokemon. The Pokemon looks around, then, seeing a car coming straight at him, jumps and gets into it.
As it approaches the first hill, the Shroomish appears to be getting ready. He pops his head-body out and views the surroundings, looking for something. He spots the highest point on the coaster, and then pops back down. After a little wait, the car approaches the point and Takae begins to dance, spinning around. He does this for a little while, then appears to get a little annoyed as the performance doesn't seem to go his way for some reason.
He seems to be recovering from this though, as he... JUMPS OUT OF THE CART!? Is that thing suicidal!? The Shroomish begins to hurtle towards the ground as he uses Grass Knot. The Shroomish begins to panic when it realizes that the attack won't stop his fall. This won't turn out well, will it?
The Shroomish screams and thrashes, trying to slow his fall towards the ground. It does not work however as the shroom nears the ground. Tears flow out from behind him, and I do not think that these are fake ones. He slams into the ground quite painfully, hitting the overgrown weeds that were grown via Grass Knot. Empoleon rushes over and tends to his injured Pokemon right away as a Pokemon Medic rushes over to give her assistance

I kinda see where you're trying to get to this, but there were so many other, more creative things you could have done instead of dance, jump off a cart, try to catch yourself but fail and cry. Also, this was not very scary, except for the injury part. Not that I'm a sadist or anything...

Negrek and Apophis
After an hour passes, our last contestant finally approaches the field. Negrek has decided to enter our competition. She walks to the fair grounds with her Pokeball, and throws it behind one of the games. Damnit, I hate these appeals! They always find a way to freak me out! Of course, that is the point of the whole competition, but still...
Anyways, the Pokeball releases the Pokemon, which begins to create some noise. Rustling noises that seem to resemble a death rattle let out by an ill person just as they are nearing the end of their life. The noise continues for a little while, getting louder and wilder, until they suddenly cease.
Whatever is going on, it is quite creepy. Hmm? What is that? Gack! Some sort of sludge just came out of a clown's mouth! No, not a real one, one of the one used for the games. Guess that the death rattle was for that cut out. The poisonous goop oozes out as the clown appears to choke out hoardes of wriggling snakes, all of them rushing out as if the thing vomited violently after being cursed.
The snakes - Ekans, it appears - all begin to line up in front of the stand. They continue to file up in a straight line, locking the audience in their sights. They soon finish and begin to give us creepy, scream inducing looks! Its like if they are all plotting! The things all look maniacle! Ugh!

Next Appeal Round:
Arena: The Haunted House
As it gets closer to winter, the whole place becomes cold due to cracks in windows and walls. The structure is two stories tall, and despite being on the fair grounds, it was oddly never meant to be here. In fact, according to the diary entries of the first owner of the fair grounds, it just appeared one day. Nobody ever entered it until today. The audience watches from special tents that have a live feed to the house, so the appeal may be made anywhere in the building. The first story has a decrepit grand hall, with rotting stairs and an old crystal chandelier so dusty that light emitted from it is very dim. The kitchen is missing a section of wall, and leaves have piled up next to the stove. The cellar, which one can access directly from the main hall, is quite barren and a bit of a maze. The second floor has many bedrooms, each on having not been touched for years. All but one of them are quite decrepit, with mouldy linen and rotting furniture, with the floor breaking in some sections. The one room that isn't decrepit look like a little girls room, and is in pristine condition, leading those who have examined the house just before opening it for the contest to believe that it is haunted. Even Gengar won't go in. And the most bizarre feature of this house? It has been demolished several times, only to have reformed by the next day. As such, if destruction will help your appeal, then you may go wild without worrying about destroying the whole place. And remember, fear is the name of the game!
Conditions:
-In this round, you must choose a room, or else it will be assumed that you are performing in the grand hall
-You may not use the same Pokemon you used last round

Take me to Wonderland
I'm going to use Chaos, my Female Vulpix.
As for a room, I'll take the little girl's room.
Now...for a show of which could only come from Hell it's self.
Chaos, When I send you out, you'll be hiding in the shadows of the room, but if there isn't any shadows, then under the bead will do. Once there I want you to wait a few beats so the audience will wonder where you are, then I want you to let out a slow, eerie howl that slowly builds up into a screaming howl.
After, I want you to use Faint Attack and rip apart something in the room, like a stuffed animal or a pillow. I want you to make it look vicious, like you are a crazed animal or possessed by the ghost in the room.
Finally, I want you to leap into the center of the room and let loose a small amount of will-o-wisp that grow into a massive blue fire. Once the fire dies, you'll be gone, leaving nothing but the torn object and the burn marks on the floor.

Since I can't use Spectre, I'll be using Pearl, my female Spoink.
This appeal will mainly revolve around one attack.
When you come out, act normal and everything for a few seconds, looking around the room, slightly interested in it. While you're looking at the wall behind you, use a Psychic (try not to make it glow or anything) on a plate or fork or knife or something, and toss it right at you, but it misses at the last second and shatters (if plate) or gets stuck in (if fork or knife) in the wall.
Now you'll freak out and try to look around, this time seeing if anything is in the room. And then make a real frenzy; picking up just about anything on the table and throwing it around the room, some at yourself (but make them miss; I don't want your eye to be poked out) and maybe even some flying towards the audience (although it won't hit them; they're not in the room with you).
Then start to run backstage, screaming all the while. Maybe toss a few things after you, perhaps even the chandelier or, if you're feeling a bit stronger, a chair.
Psychic@something on table, toss it towards you~Psychic@almost everything on the table, toss it everywhere~Run backstage screaming, Psychic@a few last things going after you

I'll be using Volt, my Pichu, thank you very much.
Pi pi chu pi pi!
...I don't want any arguments, just go. And I'll be using the cellar for this appeal.
First, hide behind a wall or anything that will help you stay concealed. Then, use Thunder. No one must see that you made the Thunder. As soon as you finish that, I want you to let out a startled cry. Afterwards, spit some Toxic at the ground near you. Make sure the audience can see it but also make sure that the audience thinks it came from the ground, not you. As you're running away from the Toxic and the audience can finally see you, quickly use Magnet Rise so you can levitate and pretend to get flung out of the room by an unseen force, that force actually being you. Then you can end your performance and, pardon my language, get the hell out of there.
Thunder ~ Toxic ~ Magnet Rise
