Some worldbuilding for a magical performance story idea...
This idea was inspired by the remixed Super Contests in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and the new magical girl anime Waccha Primagi, with a little more of a theatrical slant instead of idol performances.
The story's basic premise:
In a Pokemon world not too much different from the one we know, the hottest and most popular form of entertainment is Pokemagia, a stage show described as one part magic show, one part Pokemon Contest, one part dance, and one part theater to create a dazzling showcase of the bond between trainer and Pokemon. Since Pokemagia shows are often demanding, Pokemon that participate in Pokemagia can often go toe to toe with Pokemon raised to battle, and some have made their mark in both the League and the Pokemagia stage.
Both boys and girls participate in Pokemagia, and great magie (what a trainer that participates in Pokemagia is called) are treated like rockstars. Every magie has their own unique style, so no two magie will ever be alike (although it is possible for magie to inherit tricks and illusions from another magie, usually a teacher passing down their best material to magie in training.
Magie are trained in a master and apprentice relationship, with a magie in training learning how to dance, act, use stage combat, and combine their own natural power with their Pokemon to create tricks and illusions. Once the master feels the apprentice is ready, they perform an Exhibition--a specific type of Pokemagia show meant for the magie in training to demonstrate what they have learned in a full Pokemagia show. If the show goes over well, the magie is allowed to perform on their own. Great magie often go on to have long and successful careers, and even magie that have stepped down from the stage are still revered.
Our heroes are all highly skilled magie, and are well loved and well liked in the Pokemagia community. But when they learn about the Diamond Melody Grand Prix, and the long road to reach it--and that the competition is open to single magie and magie teams--they decide to form a team, and take their Pokemagia skills to the next level, win or lose.
Can Ash and the gang, as their newly formed magie team Prismusic, prove themselves against some of the best magie in the Pokeworld, and be immortalized as Eternal Magie--the highest rank a magie can have?
