Contests. They are a form of competition where the competitors face off in tests of performance and spectacle, not strength! I am not an expert because it is not as popular in Unova. Unova does not have an official contest circuit. Not the way that Hoenn aaaand... [ oh. wait a second. ] Sinnoh do.
[ Did. Did whatever Strong and Agile style are become the basis for contest categories, maybe??? The way Ingo explains it makes it sound simpler than that, but ??? Weird coincidence maybe. ]
Anyway. Soooo... it involves a different style of training? Categories are Tough, Cool, Cute, Smart, and Beautiful I think. So maybe a Mystical Fire meant for a beauty contest might have more elaborate patterns and colors in it. Maybe they'll trace out shapes or words in the air. And the same move used in a toughness or coolness contest might just be how big of a firework it can make. I do not know exactly because I am not one, but that is just an example.
[ A coordinator, that is. He's just aware of how they work because of knowing people who are a bit more familiar with the scene. ]
