Chapter 32: Hongbo Conference, Butterfree's charming appearance! (Stare...)
At seven o'clock in the evening, Heimer, the Forest Lizard, the Thorntail, and the Natural Sparrow were having dinner together at the Pokémon Center.
Suddenly, for some reason, Heimer felt a chill from behind him.
So, Heimer quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, then turned his head carefully to look.
Heimer discovered that the feeling of hair standing on end came from a man who wrapped himself tightly. The man not only wore sunglasses and a baseball cap, but also several layers of masks. He looked very mysterious.
At this time, he was sitting at the table behind Heimer and seemed to be looking at Heimer.
(I always feel like that guy is staring at me. Is it just my illusion?)
But no matter how indifferent Heimer was, the feeling of being stared at did not diminish at all.
So Heimer quickly finished his meal and ran back to the room with the forest lizards in a hurry.
Forest Lizard: "Cha?"
The forest lizard looked at Heimer with some confusion, obviously questioning his action of quickly returning to the room just now.
Chi Haimo: "It's okay, because the Hongbo Conference will start tomorrow, so I think it's better for us to go back to the room and rest early."
The forest lizard knew that Heimer was afraid for some other terrible reason, so he quickly returned to the room.
So he patted Heimer's back, as if trying to calm Heimer's inner panic.
(Forest lizard...)
Chi Haimo: "Well, I'm really fine, don't worry."
Forest Lizard: "Cha."
After hearing what Heimer said, the forest lizard nodded to him gently. It seemed that he was telling Heimer that he understood.
Although Heimer felt a little less uneasy after being comforted by the forest lizard, it seemed that there was a very familiar feeling about that person, so Heimer could not completely let go of this uneasiness.
Because he was afraid that everyone would discover his situation, Heimer put all the forest lizards and the others into Poké Balls to rest early on.
It was now eleven o'clock in the evening. Heimer was sitting on the toilet in the bathroom, thinking carefully about who the person he saw today was.
(I have definitely seen that person before. Who is he? Well, if I had known I would spend so much time thinking about it, I should have been bolder and taken off his mask directly. Ah, forget it. There is no point in thinking about it now.)
Suddenly, Heimer felt a strong gaze right next to him!
After realizing that something was wrong, Heimer immediately picked up the toilet plunger next to him and pushed it in the direction that gave him this feeling.
Natural tits: "Raji!"
The toilet plug firmly sucks the natural tits!
Chi Haimo: "Ah, Tianranque, it's you, sorry, sorry."
After Heimer took the natural bird off the toilet plug, he found a very obvious red circle mark on his face and some feces on his fur.
But even so, Tianranque still stared at Heimer without changing his expression.
(Yeah, I really don’t understand him.)
So, in the middle of the night, Heimer gave Tianranque a bath.
Heimer asked curiously while washing the natural bird with warm water.
Chi Haimo: "Natural Sparrow, it's so late, why don't you take a rest and run out of the Poké Ball?"
Tianran Que did not answer Heimer's words, but stared at Heimer like a pool of stagnant water.
After giving Tianran Que a bath, Heimer took him back into the Poké Ball and went to bed to sleep.
(I don’t know why, but I felt sleepy instantly after being frightened by the natural sparrow.)
The next morning, Heimer slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was Tianranque's fixed stare.
Chi Haimo: “Ahhhhhhhhh!!”
Heimer was frightened by Tianran Que again, but when he asked Tianran Que the reason again, Tianran Que still did not respond, but continued to stare at him.
There was no other choice, so Heimer had to take out the Forest Lizard's Poké Ball. After waking up the Forest Lizard, Heimer gave him a piece of paper and a pen, hoping to understand what happened to the Natural Bird through the Forest Lizard's drawing.
After some questioning, the forest lizard completed his painting.
Through the painting of the forest lizard, Heimer immediately understood why the natural sparrow did this.
It turned out that after Heimer was frightened by that man yesterday, he had been feeling uneasy, so Tianranque thought that maybe it was because Heimer felt insecure, so he had been staring at Heimer since yesterday, hoping that this would give him some sense of security.
(Um......)
After Heimer understood, he gently hugged Tianran Que and said with a smile.
Chi Haimo: "Thank you, Tianranque, I'm much better now..."
Seeing this, Tianran Que closed his eyes and rubbed Heimer.
Chi Haimo: "However, please try not to do this late at night in the future, please."
After hearing this, Tianranque thought that Heimer was worried that he was too tired, so he immediately opened his eyes and stared at Heimer, trying to tell Heimer that he was fine.
(Well, otherwise I should buy him an eye mask or something.)
For several nights after that, Tianran Que would wear the eye mask that Heimer bought for him and stare at Heimer until he fell asleep. Tianran Que only stopped this behavior after the Hongbo Conference was over.
On the day of the Hongbo Conference, Heimer fixed his hair in front of the mirror and then helped Butterfly fix his bow tie.
That’s right, at this Hongbo Conference, Heimer decided to let Butterfree take the stage.
After everything was ready, Heimer and Butterfly went to the venue of the Hongbo Conference.
Vivian: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Pokémon Contest, Hongbo Conference, is about to begin."
At this time, Heimer was in the backstage. In addition to repeatedly reading the notebook with the combination moves he designed, he couldn't help but think about the mysterious man in the Pokémon Center cafeteria before.
(Well, anyway, after the game is over, just run away.)
Vivian: "Next is contestant number 12, Ankang. Please invite him and his Pokémon to give us a wonderful performance."
When Hearing the name Ankang, Heimer fell off his chair. After staggering to his feet, he looked at the TV backstage and found that the person standing on the stage was the mysterious man who had been staring at him yesterday.
(It shouldn’t be that Ankang, right? Well, it should just be the same name.)
Ankang: "Hehehe, go ahead, Parasitic Mushroom!"
With a flash of white light, an orange parasol mushroom appeared in the center of the stage. The luster of its skin was as if it was coated with a thick layer of oil, shining on the stage.
Vivian: "Wow, Ankang's parasitic mushrooms are actually different colors."
Ankang: "Use Sonic Fist on yourself."
Parasitic mushroom quickly used sonic punch on himself, and the brutal method instantly covered his face with wounds!
Vivian: "Ah, this, this, this is a really unique way to show charm."
Ankang: "Next, use the poison on the field."
A thick dark purple liquid spurted out from the head of the Parasol mushroom, and the deadly toxin sprayed onto the ground like foul-smelling mud.
Ankang: "Hahahahahaha, next, eat those toxins!"
After hearing Ankang's instructions, the Parasol Mushroom sat on the ground and started eating the deadly toxin on the stage.
Vivian: "Oh my god, the Parasaurolophus actually ate the toxins on the ground. What on earth does Contestant Ankang want to do?"
Due to the influence of the deadly toxin, the Parasol mushroom quickly became extremely poisonous, but the strange thing was that at this moment, the Parasol mushroom actually showed an expression of great enjoyment.
Moreover, all the injuries on his body were healed because he entered a highly toxic state.
Miss Joy, who was a judge, immediately realized what was going on.
Joey: "This is the poison healing property!"
The Parasol mushroom kept eating the deadly toxins on the stage. The pain brought by the toxic state not only healed his injuries, but also made his emotions more and more excited. That expression that was obviously painful but very happy showed the special charm of the Parasol mushroom.
Ankang: "Hahahaha, eat it all!"
After receiving Ankang's instructions, the Parasol Mushroom swallowed all the toxins, then showed a satisfied expression and happily ended the performance.
Because of the reversal effect brought about by the poison's healing properties, the audience at the venue burst into warm applause.
Joey: "I didn't expect that this method would be used to demonstrate the toxic healing properties of the Parasol mushroom."
Suzuki: "Oh, I like this one."
Kangkenstein: "However, this kind of performance that hurts the Pokémon itself is better corrected."
After the judges finished their comments, Ankang's score appeared on the big screen: 24.5 points.
(I never thought there would be such a way of performing...)
After Ankang took back the parasol mushroom, he returned to the backstage of the venue.
In the backstage, Heimer kept secretly glancing at the man named Ankang.
(It shouldn’t be that Ankang…)
Vivian: "Next is contestant number 20, Chi Haimo. Please invite him and his Pokémon to give us a wonderful performance."
As the lights came on, Heimer appeared on the stage. He took out a Poké Ball and threw it into the air.
Chi Haimo: "Dance, Butterfree!"
There was a flash of white light, and Butterfree flapped his pure white wings, appearing gracefully in the center of the stage.
Chi Haimo: "First of all, sleeping powder."
The green powder spread in the air like water ripples, and Butterfree was like a leaf on the lake, light and agile.
Chi Haimo: "Next, use your telekinesis to grab the powder and surround it around your wings!"
(As long as the sleeping powder doesn't touch the mouth and nose, there will be no problem. With Bardadie's control, he can definitely control the sleeping powder well.)
Butterfree instantly gathered powerful mental strength and used telekinesis on the sleeping powder on the field.
After the sleeping powder was controlled by telekinesis, it seemed to have a soul and lightly surrounded the wings of Butterfree.
Because Butterfree's wings are mostly white, when the green sleep powder surrounds his wings, his wings look like they have turned light green, and it feels like he is covered with a layer of light green gauze.
Vivian: "Wow, Butterfree is like a fairy in the sky, and the sleep powder is like his ribbon, dancing in the wind under the control of telekinesis. It's so beautiful."
Chi Haimo: "Dance of Courtship!"
At this moment, Butterfree flapped its light green wings and danced the way it would when looking for love. With the refreshing green color and moving dance moves, it looked like a butterfly playing among the flowers, agile and elegant.
Vivian: "What a lovely dance, the audience was mesmerized by it."
Chi Haimo: "Bardalie, we're done, gather the sleeping powder above the stage!"
After using telekinesis to focus all the sleeping powder on its wings above the dance, Butterfree gracefully spun and flew down from the air.
Chi Haimo: "Use Wind on that ball of sleeping powder!"
The Butterfly flapped its wings quickly, and the light powder scattered in the arms of the wind, like green stars, falling gorgeously into the pure white of the Butterfly's wings.
Chi Haimo: "Bardalie, it's time to wrap up. Fly to the center of the stage and dance your courtship dance."
Batdie waved the strange stars and flew to the center of the stage, where she danced her courtship dance once again. Under the lights, the cool green instantly took away all the noise in the venue.
After Butterfree finished her last dance, there was warm applause from the audience. Such a loud scene was an affirmation and sincere praise for Butterfree's performance.
After the performance, Batgirl flew to Highmore's head, and Highmore bowed to the audience, officially ending the performance.
Vivian: "So, what are the scores of Hammer and Butterfree?"
After the screen flashed, Heimer's score appeared on the screen.
Vivian: "28.6 points, the highest score so far!"
When Heimer saw this, he happily grabbed Butterfree's little hand and said.
Chi Haimo: "Bardalie, you are awesome, we got the highest score."
Butterfly: “Beep~”
Butterfree shook its body happily, then rubbed Helmer's cheek.
Afterwards, Hemmer returned to the backstage and fed some energy cubes to Butterfree while staring at the TV backstage, waiting to be included in the second review list.
Vivian: "Well, all the contestants have finished their performances. At the same time, the results of the first review have come out. Please look at the big screen!"
(There are still only four places for promotion this time, but with our scores, it should be no problem.)
After a flash of the screen on the stage, the list of people entering the second review appeared.
At this time, Heimer discovered that both he and Ankang had successfully passed the second review.
(So, I will most likely meet him later. Well, I hope not. Well, he should not be that Ankang...)
