A bowl of braised noodles only takes fifteen seconds.
From the first moment when his eyes lit up, "It's delicious", to the last moment when he politely wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "Thanks for the treat," the process was as short as being cut off.
When Kashiwagi who poured him a drink turned around, he found that this man had already stood up and left the table.
"Dawu-san, you..."
"The craftsmanship has improved again. I believe that even if I open a store, the business will be full, right?" Dawu praised the taste, but his body walked in the direction of the wishing star with great honesty.
If it weren't for the ungraceful nature of admiring while eating, the Hoenn champion might not even come to the table.
"Thanks for the compliment."
Kashiwagi put down his drink helplessly. After seeing Daigo's performance with his own eyes, he finally understood what kind of love could make someone give up even the title of champion.
I guess even if this drink is brought over, Dawu won’t drink it, right?
He saw Happy Egg taking the initiative to clear away the dishes, and for a moment he felt like he was doing nothing.
"No?"
A low voice rang in his ears. Kashiwagi turned his head and saw that it was a floating rice bowl. Not far from the rice bowl, the eyes of the Metagross were blue, showing a little desire.
"Nope~"
Can I have another bowl?
Although Kashiwagi couldn't understand the meaning of Metagross' cry, he could understand its eyes, "More food?"
"No!"
"good."
He took the bowl and added Pokémon food into it, then looked at Daigo who was holding the wishing star not far away, and shouted: "Daigo-san! Don't your other Pokémon want to eat?"
"It doesn't matter, I only brought Metagross with me this time."
Dawu smiled and conjured a loupe from somewhere, put it on his right eye and began to observe the patterns on the surface of the wishing star.
Judging from the fact that his breathing has slowed down, he is obviously addicted.
Kashiwagi came to Metagross with his rice bowl and couldn't help but ask the latter, "Is Daigo-san usually like this?"
"No."
Metagross shook his right paw to deny it, while holding food with his left paw and stuffing it into his mouth.
It explained it to the big monster Boscodora next to it, who then explained it to Kashiwagi.
The latter's understanding relies entirely on the tacit understanding with Pokémon and a little bit of brainstorming, forming a special stone lover in his mind.
Metagross said that Dawu usually only looked at the stones that he was particularly interested in, and he often looked at them all day long. He often held the stones and looked at them back and forth as if in a daze. Most people can't imagine what's so interesting about this thing.
I can watch it for so long.
"incredible."
Kashiwagi was amazed and realized that he probably couldn't disturb Daigo in this state, so he simply started training Pokémon——
The reason why I didn't go out was because I was worried that Thunder God would come to my door.
If this guy met Dawu and there was no explanation from him, he would probably cause trouble.
certainly.
The environment of the small courtyard is not ideal.
If you want to train normally, it is definitely not open enough.
But if it's just practice for the gorgeous competition, that won't be a problem.
on the other hand.
After careful consideration and discussion with Big Mouth Baby, he decided to let Happy Egg also join the team of the gorgeous contest.
Otherwise, the number of Pokémon participating in the competition would still not be enough just for the Big Mouth and Ugly Fish.
As a Pokémon with a lot of superpowers and fairy-type moves, Happy Egg itself is considered suitable for the Glam Contest, so it is normal for it to be included.
This time, the first round of review in Akiye Town is quite special——
It's a doubles format.
When Xiaoyao participated, it was still a singles competition, but with the development of the times, it was changed to doubles.
So this first round of review is no longer a one-man show for Big Mouth.
"what you think?"
He looked at the big-mouthed kid next to him.
"嘁哚!"
Big Mouth Boy rolled his eyes, how could he disagree with the competition format?
What's more, let alone playing with other companions, even if it is replaced and Happy Egg plays alone, what can it say?
Having come to this point, Big Mouth Boy has already understood that the gorgeous contest is no longer a house game chosen on a whim to show off one's own glory.
Since you want to participate seriously, you must aim to win. In order to win the final victory, it is unrealistic to just let one person shine.
Therefore, Big Mouth Baby will only agree with the trainer's decision.
But in terms of performance content...
Kashiwagi started to have trouble.
Double performance is different from single performance. What is important is the perfect integration between moves, so that the moves that are bound to explode can create a new sense of beauty.
The various coordination requirements for the two Pokémon are extremely high.
"Sure enough, it's the same as before, specify the content of the performance first." He took out his sketchbook.
Both Big Mouth Baby and Happy Egg Club have a lot of moves, how many combinations of moves are there that can be combined with each other to create a new look?
and.
Should he incorporate the guitar songs he just learned as background music?
After thinking for a while, Kashiwagi decided to give up.
So far, his proficiency with the guitar is not very high. Using it hastily will only have the opposite effect. As expected, it is better to keep it as it is...
"Deciding on a theme is such a hassle."
He tried to draw inspiration from Big Mouth Baby and Happy Egg.
Dazuiwa, who had tasted the benefits of dancing twice before, decisively said that this time he should also use dance to win, "嘁哚!"
It looked at the happy egg, hoping that the latter would dance with it.
"Happy..."
Happy Egg glanced at his chubby body, and then at Big Mouth Baby's slender figure.
Although the trainer has repeatedly said that it is very cute, but with this body type... it is impossible to dance like a big-mouthed baby, right?
Don't force yourself into something you're not good at.
Happy Egg is quite self-aware and suggested that instead of singing, Big Mouth Baby would be responsible for dancing, "happy~"
"Singing and dancing... this way it really feels like a combination, so let's think of further performance forms based on this."
Kashiwagi knew that always asking big-mouthed children to dance would seem a bit cliché.
But this is the characteristic of the big-mouthed baby. Just like Bogaman uses the tidal wave from beginning to end to firmly bind the term dancing to the big-mouthed baby. This is what he should do.
Instead of changing your mind on the spot and looking for other ways to perform.
As for the cliche problem... it can be completely alleviated by letting other Pokémon perform. If one game is not enough every two games, the audience will never think it is cliche, and will even look forward to the dance of Big Mouth.
After all, there is never just one form of dance. The dances it danced in the first two competitions were completely different [Round Dance] and [Fan Dance].
"The dance I want to dance this time..."
Kashiwagi held the pen and thought carefully, and realized that what was more important than dancing was what Happy Egg sang.
The dance style is determined by the tune of the Happy Egg.
Although the protagonist of the performance is definitely the big-mouthed kid who is more popular with the audience, after all, the performance is completed by two Pokémon. The presence of Happy Egg should not be reduced and create a feeling that the latter is completely a tool.
This impression exists to set off the former.
Maybe the audience doesn't care.
But the judges will definitely pay special attention to this aspect. The settings of the main and deputy protagonists, deputy protagonists and even the two protagonists are very important.
"Song...what song can you sing?"
Kashiwagi suddenly realized that Happy Egg only knew one kind of song——
Hypnotic singing.
"Happy~"
Happy Egg opened his mouth to sing when he heard the trainer's voice. Undetectable sound waves spread out from his mouth, and colorful notes flew up.
"嘁哚!"
The boy's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he jumped to the middle of the notes and spun around quickly. The soft light pink breeze blew the notes, blowing them high into the sky without damaging them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The note rises to a certain height and explodes like a balloon...
Big Mouth Boy is a little disappointed. If what appears after the balloon bursts are fireworks, then Fairy Wind and Singing may be a good combination of moves.
But just like the prelude, the follow-up was mediocre...the performance was anticlimactic and tail-end, obviously not suitable for the gorgeous competition.
But more than those things, what concerned Kashiwagi more was the melody that Happy Egg sang.
"Only the most plain and simple tunes... It's okay to sing alone, but it's not suitable to be combined with dancing. It seems you have to learn how to really 'sing'."
He said this to the happy egg.
"Happy?"
The latter is a bit confusing.
"You'll know tomorrow... I have to find a way to find you a 'music teacher'." He smiled.
In fact.
Kashiwagi has long known that the gorgeous competition in Qiuye Town is a doubles match. When he was in Green Town, he had cultivated a tacit understanding between Big Mouth Baby and Happy Egg.
That's why the big-mouthed boy was able to blow the notes to the sky in such a relaxed state without breaking them.
In other words, they have already laid the foundation for cooperation.
It's not just the two of them. As the future General of the Gorgeous Competition, the Heterochromic Ugly Fish, even if it is more than a little weaker, still has a cooperative battle with Big Mouth Baby and Happy Egg under Kashiwagi's forced request.
have to say.
The heterochromatic ugly fish feels that playing doubles with its companions is more uncomfortable than being beaten on one side. It's not that it has any objections to Happy Egg and Big Mouth Baby, it's just that the psychological burden is too great.
It is like the happy egg it used to be, which is quite inferior due to its own shortcomings and is afraid of causing trouble to others.
How could Lucky Egg and Big Mouth be unaware of this state of the Chouglefish? They are both Pokémon with extremely delicate minds, especially the former——
I have been caught in the rain before, so I always want to hold an umbrella for others.
Happy Egg, who has come from self-pity, knows very well how uncomfortable self-torture can be for a Pokémon, so he often works particularly hard when assisting or guiding the Uglyfish.
The same goes for big-mouthed babies.
The three formed a bestie group in the Gorgeous Competition, supporting each other and making progress.
This is also an important reason why Chou Chou Fish doesn’t want to go back to the place it once was. Apart from its most admired idol, Boss Cordora, Happy Egg and Big Mouth Baby have the best relationship with it.
It's obviously so cute, but I don't think it's ugly.
——
Daigo studied from early evening until late at night.
When he looked up, he found that it was already three o'clock in the morning.
In the courtyard.
His Metagross and Boss Cordora were sleeping together, and not far away was a polygon that looked like a toy Trojan horse carrying the Galar Sun Coral.
The bodies of three evil dragons rest on the cypress wood. On the left and right are Big Mouth Baby and Happy Egg, as well as the ugly fish of different colors sleeping in a small water tank.
Everything seemed extremely quiet and peaceful.
"He looks more and more like an ordinary trainer."
Dawu smiled.
He was pleased that Kashiwagi could adapt to such a life. Huangtie Town was definitely not a place where normal people could survive. Many young people with alienated thoughts looked very sad.
Daigo remembers that he once met a young child who came with his parents in the mining area. During the exchange, the latter asked him curiously: "Can everyone eat white bread in the outside world? Anyone can become a trainer?"
"
He answered in the affirmative and asked the other party why he wanted to become a trainer.
The child said: "That way, parents will no longer be bullied and can bully others."
The impact of the environment on children is evident.
Dawu didn't sleep well those days, and he couldn't even focus on looking for rocks. Unfortunately, he got caught and fell through the cracks in the collapsed rocks into the vicinity of the underground river.
Fortunately, Huangtie Town is finally changing.
These are all things he sees, and as the spokesperson of Huang Tiezhen, Kashiwagi, Dawu believes that the latter's adaptation to the outside world will largely determine the future direction of Huang Tiezhen.
Sooner or later, Baimu will return to Huangtie Town, and by then he will bring a new trend of thought to the people of Huangtie Town.
When he came to Kashiwagi's side, he was about to wake him up and let him go back to his room to sleep to avoid catching a cold or something, but he felt a gaze that made him shudder.
Dawu raised his head and suddenly saw a huge tiger with black and yellow fur walking slowly out of the woods not far away.
Under the moonlight.
Those crimson eyes are breathtaking.
"Thunder Lord...how did he appear here?" Dawu was shocked, and at the same time he felt that Thunder Lord seemed to have bad intentions and was about to launch an attack.
"... Metagross!"
He shouted quickly, and the eyes of the sleeping Metagross suddenly opened, and a light flickered in them.
"No!"
The heterochromatic giant metal monster suddenly flew up and came behind Dawu.
The presence of his companions gave the latter a sense of security. Although he didn't know what Thunder Lord was doing, he would definitely not let this guy attack.
It would be bad if it affects Kashiwagi——
"etc!"
Daiwu took out the keystone, and the moment Lei Gong's forehead lit up with blue light, an urgent voice came over.
Both of them turned to look at Kashiwagi who made the sound.
"Although I still don't know what happened, please believe me, there must be some misunderstanding here." He stood between the two very calmly.
Judging from the surrounding environment, it is obvious that these two have not started fighting yet, indicating that there is still room for relaxation.
The real owner appears.
Dawu, Metagross and Thunder Lord all restrained their postures of preparing to attack.
"Let me explain a little bit."
Kashiwagi met their somewhat puzzled looks and began to introduce each other's situation separately.
Shortly after.
Daigo folded his arm with his right hand, held his chin with his left hand and nodded thoughtfully, "So that's it, Team Rocket is trying to master the secret of super evolution in the Hoenn region, and Raikou is here to stop them... I didn't expect such a coincidence."
"Roar……"
Lei Gong also changed from the original hostility to a majestic appearance. When it first arrived, it saw Kashiwagi lying on the ground, and this strange human stood there as if to do something, with an inexplicable momentum and energy hidden in his body.
, I thought the cypress tree was under the influence.
Unexpectedly, these two people knew each other.
And this man with silver-blue hair is the champion of the Hoenn region.
Lei Gong knows very well that the humans with this title are a group of trainers who are powerful and hate evil just like him.
The key is that it has a lot of energy.
It once saw a human champion with red hair and a cape. He usually does things alone, but at the end of the day he can just call a truckload of people to come over and finish the job.
Very powerful.
Lei Gong withdrew his gaze from Daigo and looked at Kashiwagi with curiosity and a bit of suspicion.
How did your boy know the champion?
I thought he was just an ordinary trainer, but now I am more and more curious about the origin of this kid. Even if it is a Pokémon, I know that not everyone can recognize the champion.
"Well, anyway, it's good that the misunderstanding has been resolved." Daigo quickly turned his attention away from Team Rocket.
He is actually very busy. If the Rockets come for something else, he may not have time to solve it and can only entrust it to others.
But if you super evolve...
Dawu really wants to say that these people are really at odds with each other.
He looked at Kashiwagi, "I haven't seen you for a few months. I'm really more and more surprised by your changes. You can actually win the favor of the legendary Pokémon."
"It's not to the point of being favored yet..."
Kashiwagi waved his hands slightly awkwardly, and quietly looked at Lei Gong next to him. Seeing that he didn't show any strange expression, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haha, there's no need to be modest. It seems I haven't told you what I've been doing these days."
Daigo changed the subject, "Kashiwagi, how much do you know about the history of the Hoenn region?"
"History? What part of history do you mean?"
"Regarding the history of super evolution, where do you think this magical power comes from?"
"Uh... Born naturally from the earth? It's a stone after all..."
"Hahaha! It's not wrong for you to think so!"
Daigo said with a smile: "But I must remind you that the Hoenn area is an area where meteorites fall frequently. Therefore, there is a high probability that the super evolution comes from outside, and is a super meteorite falling from the sky.
"I am now looking for this super meteorite as the source. It happens to be the same purpose as Team Rocket. However, they currently think that super evolution was born from the earth and are looking for the veins of key stones and super stones."
The legendary boulder!
No wonder Daigo would bump into Ai Lan, who was sent to Fengyuan by Vladari. It turns out that their goals are essentially the same.
but.
What makes Kashiwagi curious is that the legendary boulder should not be something protected by the people of Meteor.
Why didn't Shijana show up at that time?
Don’t want to conflict with Dawu?
The animation did not predict the scene where a huge meteorite would come to the Hoenn region and destroy the world, so Shijana, who originally had a rather radical personality, became Buddhist?
He recalled Shijana, who always had a smile on her face, and was a little confused.
But Dawu on the side was still talking.
"This time I followed the guidance of historical documents and searched all the way to Meteor Falls, so that I could come to Qiuye Town to meet you... Hey, then why did you go to Meteor Falls?"
This man suddenly looked at Thunder Lord.
The latter has no interest in super evolution and came to the Hoenn region to stop Team Rocket's conspiracy.
So this postponement...doesn't it mean that Team Rocket is in Meteor Falls!?
Kashiwagi and Daigo looked at each other. The former quickly asked Raikou if he was like this, while the latter frowned and started making phone calls, trying to contact someone.
"Ho~"
Raikou looked at the impatient Kashiwagi with disgust, nodded reluctantly, and said that he had not found any trace of Team Rocket this time.
"You didn't find out where you got the information to know where Team Rocket is?"
Kashiwagi was very curious about the source of this guy's information.
Although the previous Team Rocket base can be explained by charged particles, there is no way that Raikou can search for it from thousands of kilometers away, right?
Someone must have tipped this guy off so that it could pursue Team Rocket's movements.
"Say it!"
He tried to grab Thunder Lord's face.
The big cat glanced at Daiwu and warned Kashiwagi with thunder and lightning in dissatisfaction, "Roar!"
