Well, I don't have a scheduled festival or convention for me (to send Ash to) today - and if there are, they're beyond our means and efforts - so I don't have to frame things in a "Let's Talk". All the same, it looks like the next month may be quite the busy one for them, so it may be interest to discuss them but still with a Pokémon light. For that, I always bring my dealings with Pokémon into the competitions that are featured in them as well, as a way of expressing myself. They're also not as easy as they look, so I thought about discussing the parts that make them hard, at least for me.
For the ones involving cosplay (IC: characters), like the ones I explained a long time ago, the hardest part would be deciding my movements on stage. Sure, if the competition is a longer performance, then my movements are dictated by the story of the performance, which in my case would likely be a scene from the Pokémon anime. But if the competition is of the "walk" or "parade" type, then some abstraction of movements is involved, which presents its own difficulty. Either way, it's still a hard thing because of the necessitated planning, whether way before or on the spot.
Meanwhile, singing competitions have been the norm for many years now, and the hardest part would be keeping myself together to sing the lyrics as intended. Even after memorizing them well ahead of time - including for the English and Japanese parts, for which the latter is definitely harder than the former - there's always the chance that something rattles me, and then that affects my recall. Of course, the memorization is still the hard part that ideally has to be done even well before, but the execution could be just as hard.
Competitions are arguably hard, no matter what field they are in or what it takes to bring something to them. Even harder still might be my leveraging of them to bring in something that would demonstrate my appreciation of Pokémon and displaying that within the realm of festivals or conventions - and possibly when I'm unable to partake in them as well. But when I am able to participate, there are the associated difficulties that I just have to get over, which would pave the way for showing my Pokémon appreciation.
