My entry for the "Pokemon Formes" contest (it placed 10th, not bad considering that there were around 70 entries). I made this with the March 2011 Japanese natural disaster in mind.

Pic description:
According to legend, after natural disasters Pokémon assume a temporary special form, the Sakura Form, while near blossoming cherry trees. This form is a symbol of hope and rebirth for their human friends, who are encouraged and comforted by such sight.
Any Pokémon can assume the Sakura form, but they are even rarer than shiny variations.
