third draw (video)

[The feed opens on a smiling Alolan Raichu wearing a lavender scarf with three badges pinned to it. Looks like she knows she isn't supposed to be messing around on the Gear...but she's so excited! She found out something awesome!

Gaze upon her trainer's ID! She excitedly points to where it says 'birthday: October 25th'. She can read calendars now, and that means there's gonna be a party soon, right? She likes parties. Leizi squeaks happily, giggling to herself, and that's what seems to draw her trainer's attention. A grumpy Kaiba appears on screen and snatches the card back. ]


Give me that! Leizi, you know I can't lose that. It's not a toy.

[ Leizi squeaks innocently, flapping the ends of the scarf like they're wings. Kaiba sighs and stares at the little lens. ]

Leizi's been acting out lately. Is it a Psychic type thing, having too much brain power and too few outlets? I think she might need something to keep her busy.

Do you think entering the contest would be good for her? I've never seen one in action before, but from what I read it involves creatively telling a story while using a Pokémon's powers to illustrate it. My only obstacle, then, is teaching her to be scary.

[ Leizi hops and spins in a circle. She can do it! Kaiba just sighs. Long way to go. ]

{Ah, the excitement of Pokemon with their trainers... and contests. Dimitri is chuckling as he turns on his own video.]

Well... If I may suggest, one need not necessarily make the participant be frightening. The creative use of moves can also lend to great effect, and the couple who have invited us all are often more than happy to lend their extensive wardrobe to the efforts of contestants.

I have been in a few myself, and it has been quite a delight! I am pleased to say that I even placed first, in the last one.

Oh, well... Truth to be told, I was more an assistant to them than I was a director. Hob, my Raticate with the most passion for contests, has always had an interest in them ever since we first engaged in a cooking themed contest...

But I've found that a rather easy way to go about it is treating it as "play", or telling a story. Mine have gotten rather enthusiastic with that.

Well, I have heard that comedy and horror rely much on similar things! Ah, I am not entirely sure how... But that is what I have heard!

If you like, I believe that past contests have been recorded and posted online. You may find them on Staryutube.
