Contest Announcement
[It is once again time for one of those special broadcasts.
The scene opens on a pair of men (and a shiny Incineroar) sitting at an extravagant kitchen counter. For those that have been here long enough to remember the last contest, the two men should be easy to recognise: it's Riegfried and Soy, both wearing outfits every bit as extravagant as the kitchen counter and are giving the camera matching pearl-white smiles.
The Incineroar, meanwhile, is too busy sticking her snout inside a bowl of food and slobbering it all away. Riegfried and Soy either don't seem to notice--or more likely--don't care.]
Big, big, big news, dear viewers. With the new year here in full splendour, Riegfried dear and I felt there was no better way than to welcome a new year with a new opportunity for you all to shine on stage. A nouveau contest for a nouveau year, shall we say!
[Soy claps his hands together enthusiastically, Riegfried is beaming and nodding, the Incineroar slimes the inside of the bowl with her massive sloppy tongue.]
This coming Friday, we would like to welcome all of you to our very own little home to show us all your splendour and shine. And be sure to invite your friends along. After all, what use is it to shine if there is no one to witness it?
But [he wags his finger at the camera] you are probably thinking, oh Soy, please tell us what marvelous theme you've chosen this time. Well. For that, my dears, I hand you over to my Riegfried dear--he's the mastermind behind this particular theme.
[Riegfried takes over the conversation. He's marginally more subdued than Soy.... but only a smidgen.]
Thank you, darling. In truth, Soy and I have been wracking our heads trying to come up with a contest theme that would allow you all to shine as much as you did last time. But then, on our last winter holiday to the Galar region, we saw a light! The light!
Last time, we wanted to be dazzled by your performances, your looks, your ideas! But this time, we are going in a slightly different direction. After all, a true performer is more than just a pretty exterior. You've shown us your looks, but this time, we'd like to see your skills! And what better way to display those than
[the camera zooms out, showing that while Riegfried and Soy might be sitting at one extravagant kitchen counter, there waits a row of identical counters right behind them.]
THROUGH COOKING!
After all -- [the camera is back on Riegfried. He seems to be... tearing up?] is food not one of the most basic essences of human life? Is it not the way we first learn to explore the world, the way we are first shown love? To eat is to be human... and this time we'd like you to show us just how human you can be.
[Soy is dabbing at his eyes with a handkerchief. The Incineroar finally lifts her head from her bowl. You get the feeling she is used to these sorts of antics.
You also get the feeling the shiny, gem-encrusted collar she wears costs more than your house]
Of course, it is not just your cooking we'd like to see. We would not dare dream of leaving out your dear partners.
[Riegfried ruffles the Incineroar's fur]
This Friday, we invite you and your Pokemon to join us, and show us how the harmony you've previously demonstrated on stage also shines in the kitchen. Show us the skills that lay under your shiny shells, and dazzle all with the power of your creation.
