Chapter 53: Let’s go to the Holy Sound Conference together (Strong enemy, Sunflower Monster)

After finishing the battle in the relaxing massage parlor, Jigglypuff finally lay quietly on the massage chair. At this moment, Heimer was imitating Lingyue, massaging Jigglypuff over and over again with his hands dipped in essential oils along the contours of her body.

Jili Egg: "Jili~"

Ling Yue: "Yeah, Haimo, your strength seems just right, keep it up."

Chi Haimo: "Really? Hahaha, that's great, Jilly."

Jili Egg: "Jili~"

Jigglypuff was shaking her little feet happily.

Ling Yue: "Oh, so the two of you are both coordination trainers aiming for the Grand Contest."

Chi Haimo: “Yeah, yes.”

Seeing this, Ling Yue took out her pocket navigator and pointed to a town not far from Zijin City on the map.

Ling Yue: "In that case, why don't you go and attend the Holy Sound Conference?"

Chi Haimo: "Holy Sound Conference?"

Xiao Shun massaged Du Qiangwei's shoulders while speaking to Heimer.

Xiao Shun: "That is the gorgeous competition held in Gusong Town. However, it is said that the gorgeous competition is regarded as a music competition by many local musicians. So, at that time, there should be many trainers who use music to show their charm."

Ling Yue: "Moreover, it is said that many participants only want to win this conference and have no intention of participating in large-scale celebrations."

Chi Haimo: "Well, I can understand that. After all, everyone has their own aspirations."

After finishing the massage at the Relax Massage Parlor, Lingyue gave Haimo and Xiaoshun each a book about Pokémon massage.

Lingyue: "Relieving Pokémon's fatigue should also be an important lesson for coordination trainers to learn."

After receiving the book, Heimer and Xiao Shun paid the bill at the Relax Massage Parlor and went back to the Pokémon Center together.

Chi Haimo: "Xiao Shun, are you going to attend the Holy Sound Conference?"

Xiao Shun put his hands behind his head and said nonchalantly.

Xiao Shun: "Participating, what about you?"

Chi Haimo: "Of course, hahahaha, I will definitely beat you in this Holy Music Conference."

After hearing this, Xiao Shun smiled crookedly, then looked at Heimer very proudly and said.

Xiao Shun: "Then you have to work hard."

Chi Haimo: "By the way, shall we travel together? Ah, I mean, since we are both planning to attend the Holy Sound Conference."

Heimer didn't know why, but he was obviously a little nervous when he asked this question.

Xiao Shun put his hands behind his head, looked at Heimer with a smile, then turned around and walked forward while talking.

Xiao Shun: "Well, whatever you want."

After hearing this, Heimer happily chased after him and said.

Chi Haimo: "Well, we have an appointment, let's go together."

Xiao Shun: "Yeah."

The next morning, Heimer and Xiao Shun were packing their luggage at the Pokémon Center and agreed to meet in the lobby of the Pokémon Center later.

After packing his luggage, Heimer came to the lobby, only to find that Xiaoshun had already packed his luggage and was sitting on a chair in the lobby, reading a book while waiting.

Chi Haimo: "Sorry, I'm too late."

Xiao Shun closed the book and said with a sarcastic smile.

Xiao Shun: "It's okay, your terrible schedule is to be expected."

Chi Haimo: "Hello..."

Xiao Shun picked up the backpack and said while holding Heimer's arm.

Xiao Shun: "Let's go."

Because Gusong Town was only a few steps away from Violet City, it only took Heimer and his friends an hour to reach the Pokémon Center in Gusong Town.

After completing the registration for the Holy Sound Conference, Heimer lay down on the bed in the Pokémon Center room.

Chi Haimo: "Ah, I am so tired, why are you in such a hurry?"

Shun said as he adjusted his coat.

Xiao Shun: "Arriving earlier will give you more time to train before the game."

Chi Haimo: "That's right, but I'm really tired."

After Xiao Shun hung his coat on a hanger in the closet in the room, he turned and said to Heimer.

Xiao Shun: "Let's go, let's go train."

Chi Haimo: "Eh? But I'm so sleepy."

Xiao Shun said after a light laugh.

Xiao Shun: "So, you are just a third-rate coordination trainer."

After hearing this, Heimer jumped up from the bed and said, holding Xiaoshun's arm.

Chi Haimo: "Let's go, let's go to training."

After Heimer and Xiao Shun arrived at the training ground of the Pokémon Center, Heimer sat down in a chair next to the training ground and asked.

Chi Haimo: "Xiao Shun, which Pokémon are you going to let play this time?"

Xiao Shun: "Desert dragonfly."

Chi Haimo: "Oh, a desert dragonfly, wait! A desert dragonfly!"

Xiao Shun took the Pokémon Ball of Desert Dragonfly, lifted his bangs handsomely, and showed off to Hammer.

Xiao Shun: "If you train diligently, this is a normal thing. You should also train well."

Chi Haimo: "Yeah, I know, I know."

Xiao Shun: "So, have you decided?"

Heimer held his chin with his hand in distress and said to Xiao Shun with worry.

Chi Haimo: "I have no idea."

At this moment, Chansey suddenly jumped out of the Pokéball and happily pounced on Hammer.

Chi Haimo: "Ah, Jigglypuff."

Jili Egg: "Jili~"

After seeing the Jigglypuff, Xiao Shun said to Hammer.

Xiao Shun: "Why not send Jigglypuff instead?"

Chi Haimo: "Ah? Why?"

Xiao Shun: "Because you can take advantage of this competition to get along well with Jilidan and get to know each other better."

(Yeah, that's true. As for Jigglypuff, it seems that among all my close friends, I am the furthest away from her. Although Jigglypuff is very cheerful and enthusiastic, um, there is still not enough tacit understanding between her and me. If I can take this conference and improve my tacit understanding with Jigglypuff, that would be really great.)

Chi Haimo: "Okay, Jilidan, I will send you to the Holy Music Conference this time."

After hearing this, Jigglypuff happily jumped and spun around on the training ground.

Xiao Shun: "By the way, do you want to let Jigglypuff try to learn some new moves?"

Chi Haimo: "Learn some new moves, um..."

(Yes, Jigglypuff's moveset would actually be more suitable if it were a different one, with super strong stamina and special defense, um...)

Afterwards, Heimer and Shun trained hard at the Pokémon training ground for three days. Three full days were enough to bring about tremendous changes in the two Pokémon.

On this day of the Holy Music Conference, as Xiao Shun said, there were many musicians among the contestants. Although it was not clear from their Pokémon how they were going to show their charm with music, everyone looked very strong.

Backstage at the venue, Xiao Shun was using a comb and hairspray to help Hammer style his hair.

Xiao Shun: "Don't shake, your bangs are crooked."

Chi Haimo: "Well, okay..."

(Ah, I can't help it. It's been too long since the last Hongbo Conference. I haven't participated in a gorgeous competition in a long time. I'm so nervous. I should have been more diligent before. Ah, forget it. It's over now. Take a deep breath and don't be nervous, Hammer.)

Xiao Shun seemed to notice Heimer's nervousness, so he smiled gently and said.

Xiao Shun: "Why, are you afraid that you will lose miserably?"

Chi Haimo: "No, it's just that, ah, I haven't participated in a gorgeous competition for a long time."

Xiao Shun: "Failure is a normal thing. Besides, what does it matter if you lose?"

Chi Haimo: "Xiao Shun..."

Xiao Shun said with a smirk.

Xiao Shun: "We are traveling together as partners now, so we will inevitably have to participate in gorgeous competitions together frequently in the future. So, you should relax. After all, you will definitely lose to me often in the future. Humph, if you panic every time, you will cry a lot, hahaha."

Heimer: "Little Moment!"

At this time, the Pokémon Grand Contest, the Holy Sound Conference, officially began. Many trainers performed very well. Among them, a coordination trainer named Frandy who used Sunflower Monster left a deep impression on Heimer and Shun.

Vivian: "Then, next up is contestant No. 12, Freddy and Sunflower Monster. Please invite them to give us a wonderful performance."

The stage lights went down, and a handsome man appeared in front of everyone. It was obvious that he was the contestant named Freddy. He was wearing a well-fitting suit and a pair of black-framed glasses. His pair of almond-shaped eyes matched his tough face shape, and his gentlemanly and elegant posture was enough to touch the hearts of many people even if he was just standing there.

Freddy took out a luxurious ball and spoke in a gentlemanly and elegant manner.

Frandy: "Then please come out, Sunflower Monster."

With a flash of white light, the sunflower monster appeared in the center of the stage. Under the illumination of the stage lights, its petals were as bright as the sun. The bright and vivid yellow color proved that the sunflower monster was well cultivated.

Frandy: "Sunflower Monster, can you please use Sunny Day?"

The Sunflower Monster gathered its fiery energy on its petals, making the color of the petals brighter. The Sunflower Monster closed its eyes, and sunlight slowly floated down from mid-air on the stage like silk. The gentle heat reminded people of a windowsill in the afternoon with a breeze.

Flandy: "Sunflower Monster, next, please use the Green Grass Field."

The leaves of the sunflower monster waved as if blown by the breeze. The grass energy slowly spread from the stage, without haste. Large patches of green grass swayed gently along with the leaves of the sunflower monster. The emerald green fragrance made people feel as if they were on a magnificent grassland.

Frandy: "Next, Sunflower Monster, please use the Grass Flute."

The sunflower monster slowly sat down, holding its own leaves gently in its mouth. The notes it played were tinged with the green of youth, as if they had life, floating slowly from its mouth to the stage. The song played by the grass flute was like flowing emerald, teasing the green of the grass in circles.

The sun gently caressed the green earth, and the green grass raised waves with the wind. The sunflower monster was in the middle of it, like a free traveler. During lunch break, he picked up the leaves beside him and blew them gently. The sounds of nature slowly accompanied the dream of the green grass and sank into the ears of one audience after another in the venue.

After the performance, Frandy and the Sunflower Monster held hands and bowed seriously to the audience.

The venue was instantly filled with warm applause and very loud cheers.

On the other side, Heimer, who was backstage, saw Frandy's performance and couldn't help but feel envious.

(Amazing! He is really enjoying the stage and the moment of performing with Sunflower Monster on the stage. Hmm, I admire him from the bottom of my heart.)
