Amid great expectations, Vivian was shrouded in countless spotlights with a smile on her face, raising her right hand high, and the delicate sound of her voice could be heard throughout the entire stadium.
"Invited by the south wind, north wind, and sea breeze—sing, dance, Pokémon Contest!"
"After a long wait, gentlemen and ladies, I am Vivian, the host of this event. The Pokémon Contest Water Quiet Conference has officially begun!"
As soon as the words fell, waves of cheers and applause almost broke through the dome. The audience looked down excitedly, looking forward to the performance that followed.
Vivian held the microphone with her right hand and came to the judges' table with a smile, "Please allow me to introduce to you, Mr. Patstein, deputy director of the General Affairs Bureau..."
As usual, the judges are Patstein, a silver-haired middle-aged man who is active on the front line of the Hoenn region's glamor contest, Mr. Yanase, a popular actor and member of the Pokémon Fan Club, and Miss Joy from the local Pokémon Center.
These three represent each session and are a major guarantee for the ratings of the gorgeous contest on the Internet and TV.
Vivian raised her right hand and pointed at the screen located in the center of the venue. An oval ribbon with green edges and blue background appeared on the screen, "The coordination trainers and Pokémon who win this conference will receive Shuijing."
Ribbon Medals, contestants who collect five Gorgeous Contest Ribbon Medals will have the opportunity to participate in the Pokémon Gorgeous Contest Celebration!"
It’s still a cliché.
But this did not prevent the audience from applauding enthusiastically, eagerly awaiting the appearance of Kashiwagi, whom they had longed for, and delivering the same high-level performance as always.
That's right.
Ever since Kashiwagi was recognized in the market while shopping that day, the news spread like wildfire that he came to Suijing City and was suspected of challenging the Suijing Conference.
In just half a day, all the tickets for the Shuijing Conference were sold out. There were scalpers buying and selling the tickets all over the Internet. The price had increased many times and there were still people buying it. Similar situations only happened in general regional conferences and even the Champions League.
The ticket appeal of a single coordination trainer is so high, I don’t know if I thought Kashiwagi has become a top coordination trainer——
In fact, even the average top coordination trainer may not have this kind of appeal.
What can be seen is that countless people in the audience are holding up support signs and support banners. Similar to the cheerleading team in Qiuye Town last time, it has become larger. Both men and women are coming to watch the concert. The uniform scene is as if
During the journey, Xiaozhi returned to Alola, and everyone rushed to call him a champion.
Of course, the current Kashiwagi is far from reaching that level. His fame is purely based on the marketing of Minoru, Ocean Team and Lava Team, which also has the help of Lucky Scale.
In other words, he is no different from those popular celebrities in his previous life. He belongs to the group whose virtue is not worthy of his place for the time being.
Affected by this, he seems to have fans wherever he goes, and there are also many who hate him. It's just that in real life, everyone is more civilized and will not point at other people's noses and say "I don't like you" in person.
Preparation room.
Many participating coordinators and trainers communicated in low voices, but their eyes were looking towards the corner intentionally or unintentionally.
That seemingly remote place seems to be a place where countless lights converge.
One of the most dazzling rising stars in recent years, a man whose reputation in just half a year is comparable to that of a top coordination trainer is sitting there.
Some brave Mimics took out their mobile phones and turned on the camera function, but did not dare to say anything. After all, the Pokémon world followed many of Neon's laws, such as the prohibition of casual filming.
"Woo..."
Kashiwagi didn't pay attention to the gazes and cameras around him. He sat on the bench and adjusted his tie. Within a few months, the lava suit seemed to be a bit tight. He had to find a way to find someone from Team Lava to change the size.
But these are not important. What is important is the guy in front of me——
Wearing a gold round laurel leaf crown on her head, a gold silk brocade belt tied around her waist, and a beige silk shawl on her shoulders, she looks like a plump happy egg of a muse.
This is the [Holy Style] skin that appeared in Pokémon Gathering.
Yesterday, I went to Shui Jing Department Store with Dazuiba, and suddenly I saw such a tiara. On a whim, I bought a belt and a shawl, and put it on stage with a new look.
It just so happens that the performance of the Happy Egg does not require much movement. It is not suitable for a big-mouthed baby who moves vigorously and is always exposed to ice and fire, so it is not suitable to wear accessories.
But Big Mouth is very envious. What Pokémon doesn’t like a gift from its trainer?
Kashiwagi simply bought it a Zoroark fox noodle, which looks great when worn sideways. He originally wanted to buy a platinum crown, but the latter was too heavy after trying it out——
joke.
If Big Mouth Baby is willing, it can lift him up with one hand without any effort. It just finds the crown troublesome and is not suitable for lowering its head to watch videos. It has learned badly from Sun Coral.
However, despite wearing "new clothes", Happy Egg still couldn't avoid being nervous at this moment.
The sight of other contestants, the large number of cheering spectators, and the upcoming performance all made it hard to breathe. However, it was not as good at acting like a baby as the three evil dragons and the big-mouthed baby, so it only stood in front of the trainer.
He buried his head in silence, trying to keep himself calm through "meditation".
"It's okay. It's very stable. It's not like you haven't participated before."
He gently pressed the left and right cheeks of Happy Egg, and used its amazing elasticity to squeeze towards the middle, forcing the latter's mouth to pout, making it look funny and cute.
"Ha, happy!"
Happy Egg's little hands moved wildly, and he took a step back before breaking free.
It is indeed not the first time it has participated in the glamor contest, but can performing with Big Mouth Baby be the same thing as performing alone?
What if your performance is not good enough, and you fail to maintain the good results of the trainer and Big Mouth Baby, or even fail to enter the second review?
"Calm down, don't act like a newbie, okay?"
Kashiwagi looked at Happy Egg helplessly. This guy's temperament has changed a lot since he evolved, and he has become extremely brave in all aspects. However, before a "major" event is about to start, he still can't change his habit of being nervous and thinking wildly.
Nature is such that it is really difficult to change.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly covered his arm and took a breath of cold air as if in pain, "Hiss!"
"Happy?"
Happy Egg's attention was indeed attracted, and he looked at his arm with concern.
Two days ago, Kashiwagi used a happy egg to replace the dream-inducing tapir to test the superpower training method he learned from dreams. What if he has superpowers?
He had some special expectations, but unfortunately he failed in the end, and his right arm suffered a muscle strain due to excessive exercise in a short period of time, and he had to rest for a day.
"It's okay, it stung a little." Kashiwagi was very satisfied with the effect of pretending to be in pain. Although it was a bit unethical to use the happy egg to care for him, wasn't he doing it to make the latter relax.
on television.
Xiaofeng, who had battled with him a few days ago, appeared on the scene in a strong costume and sent out her already scheduled performance Pokémon, Giant Claw Mantis.
As a coordinated trainer transformed from a trainer, her performance is as clean, simple and rough as that of Ash during the diamond period and Kashiwagi when he first came into contact with the gorgeous competition.
certainly.
"Simple" is not a derogatory term in the current gorgeous competition. Everyone is overly pursuing performances with sound and light effects. Audiences and judges who have watched it one after another have long been tired of it. They gradually want to see those simple and showable performances.
Beautiful Pokémon performance.
This is why Big Mouth Baby's dance easily achieved high scores as soon as it was born.
Xiao Feng and Giant Pincer Mantis took the same path.
The giant pincer mantis, which is based on a warrior, uses pincers and wings as props, and constantly uses the moves "Bullet Punch" and "Steel Wing" at the wooden piles specially placed on the field. The silver light flashes and the sawdust flies, as if there is a drama going on.
The sharp-edged waltz will make people's hearts tremble and dazzle.
After the move was completed, the wooden pile successfully transformed into the shape of a lighthouse in Shuijing City, once again attracting applause from the audience.
I have to say.
This performance is very special, especially the previous performer who was extremely light-polluted. When compared horizontally, Xiaofeng’s simple performance is particularly convincing, and it successfully earned her a high score——
2 points.
"Which one has scored more than 29 points..."
Kashiwagi stroked Happy Egg's face with one hand and recalled it carefully.
The judges of the previous three conferences were extremely cautious in scoring. There were very few contestants with a score of 29 or above. Why are there five contestants given out today like there is no money? There are not more contestants than before?
I'm afraid it won't be eight people qualifying.
He knew very well that every gorgeous contest in which eight people passed the first review was a highly valuable contest, and the ribbons they received were more noble than other small town-level contests.
To be honest, ribbons are essentially neither high nor low. If you get five ribbons, you can participate in a gorgeous and large-scale celebration.
Unfortunately, there are many people who like to divide things into three, six or nine grades. As a symbol of honor among coordination trainers, ribbons naturally have to be classified into high and low grades.
Two of the three ribbons Kashiwagi had were from big cities, one had a special format, and both were "top grade" in terms of appearance. It blocked the mouths of many people who were indifferent or even hated it, preventing them from calling it a small place.
The ribbon has no technical content.
"We're almost there."
He stood up slightly, and countless eyes from around him moved towards him, like stars holding the moon.
Isn’t this the kind of treatment that Mikoli gets?
Kashiwagi secretly complained, looking at the happy egg next to him who was taking a deep breath, "Are you ready?"
"Happy!"
Happy Egg raised her little hand to hold the grass-knot crown and nodded seriously.
It doesn’t matter how much you panic before the game. Once the game starts, you must not panic. You must have the determination and belief to win, so as not to disappoint the trainer.
Only then can we officially take a step closer to becoming the ace!
There is no doubt that it has never given up its determination to become the ace, and it is unswervingly trying to be a perfect Pokémon with various skills such as fighting, performance, healing and life!
Happy Egg strode forward, and the exit shrouded in white light was like a door to a bright future.
I am coming!
Inside the venue.
Various noisy sounds kept echoing.
The three judges drank water silently to moisten their dry throats after continuous comments.
The end of the year is approaching, and a gorgeous large-scale celebration will soon be held. In order to heat up the atmosphere, it is necessary to appropriately lower the scoring standards to attract the audience and coordinate the trainers.
Roz in the Galar region made a good start. None of the new star gym masters he discovered were the most popular overseas, let alone the Dan Emperor who was known as the "World's Strongest Champion".
This title has successfully caused dissatisfaction among many people, and has also attracted more and more people's attention to Roz's proposal for the [Pokémon World Championship].
"Who is the strongest in the world? Let's compete!"
The world of trainers is in a state of madness. How can they lag behind in the world of gorgeous competitions? The directors within the conference affairs bureau have been arguing for a long time, trying to take advantage of the whole event, but all the ideas given are basically crap.
Very helpless.
Vivian stood on the stage, holding a card. When she saw the next performer, she couldn't help but smile. She raised the microphone and said: "Gentlemen and ladies, please let us welcome Mr. Kashiwagi and his happy egg.
We present a performance~”
Kashiwagi! Happy egg!
The eyes of Patstein and Yanase suddenly lit up. The audience was silent for a moment and then became crazy. The screams and shouts almost broke through the ceiling of the venue. The cheerleaders stood up together and danced continuously in the limited space.
Dance with joy.
To be honest, more than 70% of the audience at the venue came for Kashiwagi, and for this reason they did not hesitate to buy tickets that were several times the usual value.
Kashiwagi had met several times before, and the female incense shop owner Kita Ayane, who later became the president of the cheering club, was also in the audience, and she couldn't hide her excitement.
Finally got it together!
She searched for news about Kashiwagi in Fengyuan just to watch the latter's gorgeous performance at the scene. Who would have thought that she would never encounter him again and again, but now she finally encountered him once, and she cherished it extremely.
Next to Kita Ayane are the first group of veterans who established the support club. They are either wearing the uniforms of Dazui and Kashiwagi, or holding Dazui in their arms, or even cosplaying into Dazui.
Wa and cypress are enough to show their love for both.
If booking the venue was not too much, the support club initially planned to cover all the tickets, but in the end Kita Ayane voted no, preventing such a ridiculous thing from happening.
Successfully restored the reputation of Cypress Cliffside.
Not long after.
A handsome figure emerged in the contestant tunnel, causing many eagerly awaited spectators to subconsciously close their mouths, and then spread to the side quickly like a chain reaction.
When the real host came on stage, the venue was eerily silent.
——
Quiet.
This was Kashiwagi’s first impression of the Suijing Convention venue.
Although some subtle sounds such as leaving the table, pacing and whispering penetrated the ears, it was also caused by the environment being too quiet.
He first bowed to the three laughing judges, and then looked around the audience seat, which was like a city surrounded by water. If he could not see the overwhelming enthusiasm on the faces of the audience, who were forced to suppress it, and those holding high fluorescent cheers that kept shaking.
Card, I really thought I was being left out.
What haven't you seen of a talented coordination trainer who won three ribbons in half a year?
All right.
I have never seen this before.
“So enthusiastic.”
Kashiwagi had a bit of a toothache, and he originally wanted to make the waving and clenching of his fists a set of actions as his signature behavior, but the audience didn't give him a chance.
That’s okay too.
It just so happened that the performance this time was a singing one, so it suited him to keep quiet.
