The referee responsible for commentating on the semi-finals swallowed his saliva and looked blankly at the pseudo-mantis surrounded by white light.
Normally, it is definitely a happy thing for a Pokémon to evolve.
However, according to the rules of this competition, evolved Pokémon will not be allowed to participate.
So he was very torn. From the bottom of his heart, he also wanted to see what kind of wonderful show this trainer named Su Yuan and his initial Pokémon False Mantis could bring to him and the audience in the finals.
Contest.
"..."
With mixed emotions, the referee looked deeply towards the guest seat. The two masters of the Shanghai Daodao Hall in Shanghai were not only special guests, but also the chief referee of this game. Whether the final could go ahead or not depends on them.
decision.
The evolution of False Mantis can no longer be stopped. All he can do now is pray silently.
As a referee and commentator, he naturally wants to bring more exciting Pokémon battles to the audience...
"this......"
Jiang Xiaochen was also surprised. The sudden evolution of the pseudomantis surprised everyone.
But soon, the surprise on his face turned into guilt. He bowed deeply towards Su Yuan and said:
"Sorry, Senior Su Yuan..."
Evolution means suspension.
Although it was not intentional, in terms of results, he was the only one who caused all these consequences.
"fine."
After being surprised, Su Yuan thought about it. He couldn't hold it back anyway, so he just evolved. It wouldn't be a problem to hold it in every day.
If you really want to be banned from the competition, there's nothing you can do about it. You can't let others change the rules of the game just for you, right?
White light enveloped the body of the pseudomantis. Suddenly, the petite body of the pseudomantis began to grow taller, its sickle leaves began to grow longer, and four wings-like leaves grew out of its back.
"Um......?"
At some point, cherry-colored petals suddenly fell from the sky. Su Yuan subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the falling petals in front of him.
One piece, two pieces...
A large number of cherry-colored petals gathered together and enveloped the white light.
Then...
Wow——
The fallen flowers were colorful, accompanied by dots of white light particles, and the evolved pseudomantis stunned the audience.
It is really like "the fairy descends from the nine heavens to the mortal world, and Chang'e leaves the jade palace in the moon". Different from the pink color of the original species, the different-colored orchid mantis flowers are more indifferent in temperament.
"My XX moved, I won't play anymore!"
Many people in the audience took out their mobile phones from their pockets and took pictures of this amazing scene.
"I think there might be something wrong with my brain."
Another male compatriot lamented that it was the first time he discovered how different his XP was, "I actually fell in love with a Pokémon..."
"Crack!"
The evolved orchid mantis jumped happily and jumped in front of Su Yuan.
(＾＿＾)
After Lan Mantra rubbed Su Yuan affectionately, she ran to the middle of the field, stretched out her body, and spun around in a circle.
With a graceful posture like a flower fairy, Orchid Mantis is indeed known as "the most gorgeous grass-type Pokémon".
Then, Lan Mantra and Hua Ba blinked their big eyes and looked at Su Yuan, their eyes full of expectation.
Damn it!
I can not make it!
Who can withstand this!
If there is a blood bar displayed now, then Su Yuan feels that his blood tank must be empty now.
Give me some strength, I can continue one more round!
"..."
Su Yuan scratched his face in embarrassment and blushed rarely.
My Pokémon is so cute!
However, when the words came to his mouth, nothing came out.
With so many people watching, it felt like a proposal.
Fortunately, Orchid Mantis understands him. Judging from Su Yuan's performance, it already knows the answer it wants.
After taking three steps and then two, the orchid mantis flower returned to Su Yuan. With the "puff" sound of the sweet ball, the orchid mantis flower turned into a red light and returned to the sweet ball.
"...Contestant Jiang Xiaochen chooses to surrender!"
At this moment, the referee realized that he had not yet announced the result of the game, "Su Yuan has qualified for the finals!"
But, you have the qualifications, whether you will be allowed to fight or not is another matter.
Even in the past, there were few examples of Pokémon evolving after the competition. Today was the first case of Pokémon evolving after the semifinals.
"Master Ning, what do you think?"
At this moment, Xu Zhengfeng is no less conflicted than the others. As the owner of the gym, he doesn't want a good young talent like Su Yuan to be banned from the competition because of this unexpected evolution.
It's so strange and pity.
But rules are rules, and this competition is not decided by him alone.
"Huh? What do you think?"
Ning Shuang turned around and asked.
"..."
Xu Zhengfeng twitched his lips. As the owner of the museum, the two of them had close working relationships, so he knew Ning Shuang's personality better.
Although he felt that he already knew the answer, in order to prevent others from questioning the fairness of the game, he could only bite the bullet and ask: "Of course it's Su Yuan's Pseudo Mantis..."
Before she finished speaking, she was immediately interrupted by Ning Shuang, "Ah, I don't know, I didn't see it, don't ask me."
After finishing speaking, she added, "Anyway, I want to see him appear on stage the day after tomorrow."
"You probably don't want to see such an excellent trainer being suspended just because of this accident, right?"
"If this is really going to happen, it would be quite disappointing."
I knew it would be like this.
Xu Zhengfeng sighed inwardly, but Ning Shuang was right. Ever since the battle between False Mantis and Fire Fox, he had been very optimistic about Su Yuan and False Mantis.
Before today, if someone asked him who was most likely to win the championship, he would definitely say Su Yuan.
Presumably, Ning Shuang thinks so too.
That's why her reaction was so intense.
"Forget it, just let it be said..."
When Xu Zhengfeng made up his mind to "favor" Su Yuan, a male voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Although it may be a bit inappropriate for me, an outsider, to say this..."
Dr. Kukui's attire is the same as in the Alola region. He is also naked, with his upper body naked and only wearing a white robe and half-length trousers.
"But as far as I know, this player named Su Yuan probably still has a Pokémon in his hand that has not yet evolved."
"In that case, why not replace his False Mantis with that Pokémon for the competition."
"In this case, it shouldn't cause too much criticism."
"Another Pokémon...?"
With doubts in her eyes, Ning Shuang searched for Su Yuan's information from the information sheets of many contestants.
If the contestants update their league cards during the competition, this information sheet will also be updated accordingly.
"La Lulas..."
Ning Shuang's eyes lit up as she whispered the name of this Pokémon. Aren't super-type Pokémon her domain?
"Then it's decided!"
Ning Shuang agreed. After asking Xu Zhengfeng's opinion, she picked up the microphone and announced the result through the radio.
She wanted to see if Su Yuan could perform as well as False Mantis if it were a super-type Pokémon!
...........
PS: I changed the setting. The official height of Orchid Mantis should be 90cm, but I felt it was too short, so I changed it here to 160cm, the same as Gardevoir.
In addition, I would like to thank "Peeping the Sun" for the 100-point reward, thank you very much!
