The Contest Spectacular!
Who: Everyone attending the Contest Spectacular! (For more information about this event, check out the info post here!)
Where: Celadon City
When: January 18-20
Log:
It’s finally here… the Contest Spectacular! The whole city of Celadon has been bustling ever since the preparations for the contest began, but now with the addition of all the contestants, their friends, and the general crowds, the town is downright packed. Hotel rooms booked en masse (good luck getting into that big fancy one near the casino-- thank Arceus there's plenty of others!), the Center stuffed with younger trainers who are short on cash but couldn't pass up the opportunity to see the first ever Pokemon Contest in this region, and generally even more foot traffic than usual.
But nowhere is it moreso than in Celadon Center, where massive, colorful tents have been erected. Pink, orange, yellow, green, and blue! There's no missing what they're for-- enormous banners advertising the Contest Spectacular fly from every corner. The streets surrounding the square are packed as well-- food carts and merch stands line the sidewalks, eager to snag a bit of the glory. Teeny tiny portions of hoity-toity restaurant food usually too expensive to buy are being hawked to passersby right alongside Pokeblocks and Poffins of varying quality, in case your Pokemon need a treat (or a little extra oomph before the show starts!). In addition to the stands selling gobs of Hoenn contest celebrity memorabilia (contest nerds might recognize figures such as Contest Idol Lisia and her Altaria, Ali, featured quite prominently!), Celadon City's many fashion boutiques and clothing lines have gotten first dibs on available space, so any contestants still looking for an outfit for themselves or their Pokemon is in luck, because there’s absolutely everything you could imagine for sale if you find the right stall. Opportunistic photographers (some official, some... not) have also swooped in to set up booths with rentable costumes and fun backgrounds, for anyone who isn't performing but wants some cute souvenir pictures of their Pokemon being a contest star anyway.
But of course, for eager audiences and contestants alike, the real attraction lays within the tents themselves. Audience members will have to wait in line for the shows to officially begin at noon on Friday, but for those who entered the contest themselves, well, that's another story entirely!
Stages of all kinds have been arranged to suit most every type of act that’s been submitted, from the more traditional wooden stages to huge tanks to little fields (the oodles of hardworking staff making all of this possible are making good use of moves like Grassy Terrain!), and the Contest Hosts’ voices can be heard presenting acts and cracking jokes about said acts almost all day long.
After registering but before checking into their lodgings (prepaid rooms at the ritzy Celadon Hotel! Lucky you!), contestants and their Pokemon will be shown behind the scenes and made familiar with all the utilities at their disposal-- small refreshments, makeup stalls, a selection of props to make use of (although, as the harried-looking staff will tell them, bringing your own unique items is really the best way to stand out!), lights, camera, and of course action! Unsurprisingly, the entire back workings of the Contest is a flurry of activity-- it's a lot of people, Pokemon, and equipment to manage; and in true, bombastic Hoenn style, there are bright lights and flashy colors everywhere you look! But contestants will still find that no matter how busy or frantic they are, the staff will still find time to help them out with special requests or technical requirements for the act. It is, after all, their job!
But ultimately, the act is on you and your Pokemon. Don't get stage fright now-- the curtain's going up any minute!

After Performance.
But she really wanted to stop by one of the competition, a friend! She gathers the edges of her dress, toddling over to the pool. She was followed by Oleander who was carrying her glasses.
"Scuabtuinne, that was so wonderful!! And Ash, hello Ash!! You both were so wonderful!" She hugs Ash, giving him a happy squeeze.
Ignis followed behind after he replaced the violin into its case. He wasn't one to enjoy performing or drawing too much attention to himself but Dahlia had wanted to do it so badly and she needed her trainer there.
"Ash. Scuabtuinne. Congratulations on your fine performance."
no subject
Scuabtuinne smiled and lowered her head to Dahlia, giving her a nuzzle. "I loved your dancing! It was very, very beautiful"
no subject
"Your singing was the best! It made my fur stand on end, you're so good! Can we sing together some time? I'm not nearly as good but we can try!"
"I can play a few instruments but I favor the violin for its portability. It's been some years so I am rusty." Though it would be difficult to tell. "And you're quite fine with the guitar yourself."
no subject
"Thanks." Ash nodded to him. "It's just something I've been doing for years. And the song was one I'd learned at home. I'd taught it to Scuabtuinne when we'd practice our singing together." Normally he'd immediately talk more about who taught him and where he'd learned the song he had played but. Look, after their spat Ash didn't feel comfortable telling Ignis after that personal about himself. Call it pettiness or cold-shouldering, he just didn't want to share stuff about his home life with him.
no subject
"It was a fine song as well. She sounded beautiful."
Oleander's ears were down, clearly feeling awkward since he could hear all the mental buzzing. He hated confrontatin.. maybe he should ask Ignis to.. just have someone else be his eyes now. Surely Dahlia could it if taught the right moves..?
Dahlia was oblivious though, caught up ij her excitement.
"After we get home, definitely! I hope you win! You were just amazing, I wish we could vote for you.."
no subject
Scuabtuinne could feel the tension but she focused on Dahlia. She wasn't sure how she would manage if things became a row, but thankfully things were civil. "Me too. There's so many good performances, I wish we could vote for all of them!"
no subject
Oleander leans up, tapping the glasses against Ignis's leg so he would take them. He didn't want to feel awkward any more. He pulls Ignis's bag open to find his Pokeball, disappearing inside of it a moment later.
"Everyone should win! I would love that, we could all have prizes and celebrate together!"
She turns her head when she hears the Pokeball activate and sees Ignis offering her the glasses. She toddles over and takes them, putting them gently on her face and she smiles bright. Now she could see better!
no subject
She did as asked, needing to watch as Ash gently began to wipe the paint off, taking care with her old scars. Scuabtuinne noticed Dahlia putting on the glasses curiously. "Why are you wearing those?"
no subject
He wondered where Noct was. It was difficult without his sight. Perhaps he'd grown too reliant on his Pokemon helpers.
"Because I can't see very well! Ignis gave me them when he first arrived and then helped me get new lenses that worked even better! He can't see anyway."
She adjusts them on her face gently, feeling very proper now.
"We both have good hearing though! And you have something in common with him too.." Dahlia smiles a little sadly at Scuabtuinne's scars. "I'm sorry someone hurt you. Ash will keep you safe now@"
