It's time for the fifth and final contest! The previous were Cool, Cute, Tough, and Smart.

You're a Pokémon participating in a Beauty contest. You've got one shot at winning!

Tell me, briefly, in a reply to this journal:

What Pokémon are you (species, gender, and name)?
What single move are you using?
What makes you so beautiful?
How much hubris do you have (on a scale from zero to five)?

(Hubris is excessive pride or self-confidence.)

You either succeed and get a ribbon, fail, or screw up badly.

I'll describe how it plays out, in a reply to your comment.

At the end of the contest there will be three honorable mentions:

If you got a ribbon, you might become best of show.
If you failed, you might become crowd favorite.
If you screwed up badly, you might become a public disgrace.

Honerable mentions of the Smart contest

Best of Show: *Foureyedalien

Crowd favorite: ~NaughtyBudgie
Jesus the mini-Arceus. He got buried beneath his own cupcakes.
