Safari Zone Pokémon Contest
The last spectators file into the few empty folding chairs in the audience. The crowd mumbles amongst themselves until a girl with long light-blue hair enters the stage from behind the curtain. She taps her microphone with a black-gloved hand.
"Hello!" The girl waves to the audience exuberantly and recieves excited applause. "How is everyone doing today! I'm Sayoko Ichijou, and I'll be your master of ceremonies!" She strikes a pose to the sound of more applause. "We have a great show planned for you all today. First, I'd like to introduce someone who will explain the event in detail. She's the oil that keeps the Safari Zone running smooth; let me hear it for... MidnightSaboteur!"
The audience claps their hands red as a tall woman with a mess of curly-brown hair steps onto stage. She smiles and waves, and Sayoko passes off the microphone.
"Good morning," she says cheerfully. "It's great to have you all here today. Welcome to the first Safari Zone Pokémon Contest!
"Since our modest beginnings a few months back, the Safari Zone has grown to over five dozen members and nearly forty active catching areas. I'm so proud of each and every one of you who have chosen to participate; we really couldn't do this without you. For this month's event, I thought to involve something that hasn't gotten much attention, but I've heard many requests for it.
"In order to win one of the fabulous prizes to be described shortly, all participants in the contest must roleplay a small scene with their pokémon to show off their skills. We're not asking for The Great Kantonian Novel or anything, just a few paragraphs (or one, if it's really super) involving you and one of your pokémon. Any pokémon is eligible, but you must own it in your PC.
"It's like Animé Style Battling, only in contest-form. Perform a few moves - unofficial original techniques are highly welcome as well - and after everyone has finished, the judges will give their comments and a rating. The deadline is Valentine's Day, Sunday the fourteenth, so be sure to get your entries in early to spend time with your special someone!" She winks.
"I'll give this back to Sayoko so she can finish up the introduction and show you all the great prizes we have in store for the winners! Good luck!" She hands the mic back and, with a final wave, walks smoothly off the stage. Sayoko tucks a strand of fiery-orange hair behind her ear and grins at the crowd.
"Thanks once again, Miss Midnight. Now, I know you all are excited to see the awards! Here we go!" The curtains behind her draw back to reveal many glimmering items and pokéballs on a pedestal featured with spotlights. "First, every participant will recieve their choice of any common pokémon." Oohs and aahs are elicited from the audience, and she winks. "Use your common sense, but if you have any question about your choice, look it up on Bulbapedia and see if it's marked 'common' under 'Game Locations' for the first game it appears in.
"Third prize is something you might have seen before." She gestures to what appears to be an amalgam of many evolutionary stones. "The gift previously exclusive to the first creators of areas, it's the Safari Zone Evolution Pass! This special gem allows one free evolution to any pokémon you choose.
"Second place gets the Evolution Pass and their choice of starter from the starter shop!" She indicates a collection of red cherish balls on the second level of the pedestal. "Known for their rarity, any collector would love the chance to choose another!
"And finally..." Sayoko stands behind the tallest pedestal, her azure eyes and violet tresses gleaming from the spotlight featuring a gold-and-silver poké ball. "We come to the star of the show. It's the one, the only... Ceeeeeelebiiiiii!" She picks the GS ball up from its padded resting spot and delicately presses the button. The sylvan green legendary escapes, and takes the opportunity to flit and giggle throughout the charged crowd. It returns to the stage, and Sayoko speaks over the cheers. "That's right! The first place winner will recieve an Evolution Pass, their choice of starter, and the beautiful ruler of time, Celebi! So everyone get your typing fingers ready, and get set to show us your moves! Let's go!"
And if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask! Have fun!
