1x1 Pokemon: Rainbow Superstars (WavePearlxSugar)

@Sugar

A typical Miracolore concert would feature them mainly playing instruments, but there were songs that one member would sing while the others played, and some where they all sang together.

But at some point during the show, the group would sing into tiny vocoders on their headset mics, altering their voices into a Vocaloid-type sound to create a futuristic effect.

(For the purposes of this RP, any anime song, game song, Vocaloid song, song from American/European cartoons, and instrumentals are acceptable for characters' songs)

The group used the digitized voices to voice animated characters called the Digimiris, which they often made shorts of for their fans and the Internet in general to enjoy.

Today, though, they were kicking off the concert with their best known Digimiri song: "Satisfaction"

Get out on the floor! It's time to move your feet!
Let the rhythm move you, wave your hands in the air! Ash and Serena kicked off the song.

So let us all forget our troubles and our cares! Misty and Brock joined in.
And let the music play, play it all night long...

 

@Sugar

The audience exploded in screams and cheers at the song's introduction--while Brock was the one that had originally written it and performed it, it had since become Miracolore's best known song.

Aha! Gotcha! I see that saddened face
Your broken heart, giving up on the world! Serena sang in character as her Digimiri, Digishine.
Why do you quit, when you just didn't try?
But you only sigh, and the tears begin to fall!

If you look without a plan
What kind of answer will you find?
It's before you, if you only see... Misty sang as her Digimiri Digiwave, making a burst of pixilated waves burst into the room.

Get out on the floor! It's time to move your feet! the group sang again, Misty's Star Power giving the group's voices an echo.
Let the rhythm move you, wave your hands in the air!
So let us all forget our troubles and our cares!
And let the music play, play it all night long...

If you look around, there's so much you can see!
There's a world to explore, so where do you begin?
Lift up your voice and sing, the satisfaction's there
Trust me, it brings you joy, hope, and happiness!

(The group's Digimiris, in order:

Digifire (Ash's Digimiri; he sounds like a lower pitched Len Kagamine)
Digiwave (Misty's Digimiri, she sounds like a higher pitched Meiko)
Digijewel (Brock's Digimiri, he sounds like a higher pitched and more powerful Kaitou)
Digishine (Serena's Digimiri, she sounds like a lower pitched Miku Hatsune)

 

@Sugar

(Star Powers are basically appeals in this universe--you'll learn more in your Performance class with Brock)

After an interlude, the boys sang the next verse, Ash doubling Brock an octave above. As all the laughter echoes around you,
You hang your head, and try to hide the tears
True happiness is waiting here for you!
But somehow, you don't even know that it's there!

Come with me on this journey,
I would like to see you smile!
Even if it's only just a little grin... Serena sang, creating a burst of flashing lights in the room, making the group's voices echo again as they sang:

Get out on the floor! It's time to move your feet!
Let the rhythm move you, wave your hands in the air!
So let us all forget our troubles and our cares!
And let the music play, play it all night long...

If you look around, there's so much you can see!
There's a world to explore, so where do you begin?
Lift up your voice and sing, the satisfaction's there
Trust me, it brings you joy, hope, and happiness!

The group took a bow as Serena's Star Power wore off...

(are we ready to move on to the actual classes, or do you want to see more of the concert?)

The academy hummed with activity as the students woke up, got ready, and headed to the first class of the day. For Alyssa, that was Performance 101

The Performance classroom was wide and spacious, with a large open stage to allow Brock room to perform and have access to the chalkboard.

He did have a more private nook near the stage area, where he kept his instruments, spare costumes, and other props, and a teacher's desk to grade work and exams in peace.

For the moment, he was organizing his notes for the day's first lesson--what Star Powers were, and how to use them.

Once sure his notes were organized by which period he would need them, he tuned his own guitar--he usually played it as the students arrived, but he did use it during lessons on Note Star Powers and practicing

"Just take a seat anywhere for now." he assured a new arrival as he tuned.

In the back part of the large room, two Vulpixes looked in at the arriving students from the safety of their enclosure. Typically, Brock would only allow them out or the students to handle them if they had finished their work and had nothing else to do. He would feed them, brush them and clean the litter pan before students arrived, although many of the students often pitched in with their care. Posters explaining how to care for them decorated the walls around their enclosure, down to brushing technique and what food and toys were safe to give them.

Hinata, the normal Vulpix, was the more active one, while Yuki, the pure white Alolan Vulpix, was more laid back. They looked forward to meeting new students as much as their master did, and this group was no different.

As more students started to arrive, Brock returned to his waiting guitar to finish tuning it, giggling all the while at Yuki batting a ball around the enclosure.

The two Vulpixes were considered the class pets, and students taking performance classes eagerly pitched in to take care of them. Of course, Brock had left instructions on their care, written with his playful sense of humor:

"If you hear a funny noise in the room, it's probably the Vulpixes."

"Let them sniff you first before attempting to pet them--I will not be responsible for any burnt and/or frozen fingers."

Once all the students were present, the bell rang to start class. "Good morning, all, and welcome to Performance 101." Brock began. "I am Brock of Miracolore, your host and your guide through the at times wonderful and at times terrifying world of showbiz. In this class, you'll be putting everything you learn in your other classes together to create a complete show, as well as how to leave a lasting impression on your fans, no matter what your idol path is."

He then started a pack of index cards down the row. "So we'll start with getting to know each other a bit. When you get an index card, write your name, what your preferred idol path is, and something interesting about you."

 

@Sugar

(What did Alyssa write?)

 

@Sugar

(Okay)

After Brock collected the index cards, he jumped into his planned lecture for the day. "As you probably read in the class schedule and policies, this class is less about seeing and more about doing--in other words, while there is some lecturing involved, you'll get a chance to get up close and personal with the topics we'll be exploring. Being an idol is more than singing and wearing a cool or cute costume--you will often be asked to wear many different hats. Singer, dancer, actor, instrumentalist, model, pitchman--or pitchwoman...an idol often is all this and more. This is also why many new idols often get burnout in the first year."

Murmurs of agreement wafted through the room. "But the driving force and heartbeat behind every idol's performance is what is called a Star Power." Brock went on, writing the term on the chalkboard, then decorating it with a ring of stars. "Before I tell you what the proper definition of a Star Power is, how do you think you would explain them to the average person on the street?"

 

@Sugar

Hands went up everywhere as students gave enthusiastic answers to Brock's question. "Your love and passion for the song and making music?" an auburn haired girl suggested.

Brock nodded and wrote the description under the term. "That's a great definition...how else can we describe a Star Power??"

"Appealing to your fans!" a boy with sandy blonde hair grinned.

"Projecting your feelings about the song on your audience?" a brown haired girl suggested.

After writing down a few other suggestions, Brock studied the list. "You guys came up with some great definitions, which all touch on parts of the proper definition of a Star Power. A Star Power is a unique magic in an idol's heart that manifests in different ways depending on the song they are performing and the costume they're wearing. You can use a Star Power to appeal to the audience..." He acknowledged the blonde haired boy with a nod. "...projecting your emotions onto the audience..." He acknowledged the brown haired girl. "...as well as manifesting your passion for the music in a visible fashion." He acknowledged the auburn haired girl.
