Contest Category: Tough
Trainer: Shadowmaru
Pokemon: "Spookmaru" (Yamask)
Move: Curse

Costume: Shadowmaru will appear on stage wearing a flowing version of this. His Yamask has fangs drawn on its mask, and little bat wings on a headband, and a cape dangling off its mask. Both of them are wearing pale makeup. The Yamask will occasionally dive behind its trainer, and pop up with a different expression taped over its mask -- happy, sad, excited, and angry eyebrows.

Act: Shadowmaru somehow appears on stage. Like, smokebomb explosion, appearing on stage. With his Yamask floating ominously over his head. A shower of black glitter accompanies them, as he settles in, spreading his hands. "Come, ladies and gentlemen! Dear Pokemon! Let us tell a story, hm?"

It turns out to be a rendition of Dracula. With Shadowmaru as the swooping, cape flourishing hero battling his evil Vampire Yamask -- complete with angry eyes on its mask. The music kicks on, playing all throughout the telling of the story, complete with dramatic flourishes from the pair. Chasing each other. Somersaults. There is no mention of why the hero is fighting the vampire. Only that he must.

It comes to a head as Shadowmaru begins to describe the dark, deary interior of a castle. With lightning flashing. With thunder! So many Zubat! Oh the horror of a thousand Zubat! The hero, Shadowmaru says, finds themselves face to face with the horrible vampire. The terrifying creature. There is a fierce battle!

... which apparently just involves the Yamask and its trainer twirling around each other with way too much cape flourishing and black glitter...

"ALAS!" he will cry out, as the music swells. "The vampire is... Triumphant!"

Which is precisely when the Yamask will use CURSE. The giant purple nail shoots across the stage and appears to embed itself in the young man's neck. He gasps, throws a hand to his forehead, and collapses to the ground in a pile of ... you guessed it, black glitter, rolling himself up in his cloak. Yamask swoops down, unrolling him. And both of them slowly rise. Arms crossed. Like real vampires.

"The curse of the undead... continues!"

Curtains.
