Chapter 55: Jigglypuff's first appearance (mistake, Helmer's confusion)
Xiao Shun's performance was very wonderful, and the applause rang out in the venue for a long time. On the other side, Hai Mo in the backstage couldn't help but applaud Xiao Shun.
(Xiao Shun, he is really amazing. He actually thought of such a way of performing. He looks at his notebook every day, constantly adjusting and matching. He is really hardworking. Just like he said before, he is working hard towards his goal.)
After Xiao Shun's performance, Heimer was happy for him, but he was also nervous for himself. The Holy Sound Conference, where powerful enemies gathered, was completely incomparable to the three gorgeous competitions he had participated in before.
(Calm down, calm down, Heimer, huh, just enjoy the stage with Jigglypuff, just like Shun and Frandy.)
Xiao Shun returned to the backstage and said proudly to Hammer.
Xiao Shun: "How about it, aren't the Desert Dragonfly and I very handsome?"
Chi Haimo: "Yeah, very handsome..."
Heimer's worry was clearly written on his face. When Xiaoshun saw it, he hit Heimer's head with his hand with a slightly angry expression.
Chi Haimo: "Ah, it hurts, what are you doing?"
Xiao Shun: "Cheer up and keep your eyes on the front, remember?"
Heimer touched his head and answered aggrievedly.
Chi Haimo: "Well, I know, I'm the next one, so I'll go."
Xiao Shun: "Well, go ahead."
Under Xiao Shun's gaze, Heimer walked out of the backstage room.
Vivian: "Then let's welcome contestant No. 31, Chi Haimo and his Pokémon to give us a wonderful performance."
As the stage lights went down, Helmer took out Chanel's Poké Ball.
As if a salute was fired, Jigglypuff happily jumped out of the Pokémon Ball. When she saw the huge crowds of spectators in the venue, she instantly laughed even more happily, jumping left and right, like a child who had finally gone out.
(Phew, calm down, Helmer, you can do this.)
Chi Haimo: "Jelly Egg, then, let's get started."
Jili Egg: "Jili~"
Chi Haimo: "First, lay eggs!"
Jilly put his hands together, and the gentle warmth gathered into a snow-white egg, which was gently held in the palm of Jilly's hand. Under the stage lights, the soft light on the egg slowly spread out like water ripples.
Just as Heimer was about to give the next instruction, Jigglypuff actually took the egg that was transformed from the raw egg and started playing with it on the stage.
(Oh, oops.)
Who would have thought that the audience would burst into laughter when they saw Jigglypuff's happy face. But even so, Heimer was sweating visibly.
(Never mind, let’s issue the next step instructions as soon as possible.)
Chi Haimo: "Jelly Egg, next move, healing wave."
After hearing this, Jigglypuff threw the egg into the air and clasped his hands together. Pink light gathered in his palms, but for some reason, no matter how Jigglypuff rubbed his hands, he could not emit healing waves.
With a bang, the egg that was transformed from the raw egg hit Jigglypuff on the head. Although Jigglypuff was not hurt, the egg cracked and turned into light powder and disappeared.
Vivian: "Oh no, the healing wave was not used successfully. How should player Heimer resolve this crisis?"
(Calm down, Heimer, calm down. Well, the first part of the combo failed. It seems that I can only jump directly to the second part.)
Chi Haimo: "Jelly Egg, use the raw egg again."
Chansey didn't seem to hear Heimer's instructions, and instead continued to work hard to use healing waves.
Vivian: "Hey, Jigglypuff, what happened?"
(Ah, it’s over, it’s over. No, Heimer, you have to calm down. At this point, you can only trust Jigglypuff.)
Chi Haimo: "Jelly, come on!"
Jigglypuff's efforts were not in vain. Suddenly, a strong pink beam of light burst out from between her hands. It went straight to the ceiling at such a speed that pink light particles fell sporadically from the air. This strange and rough light actually made the people at the scene gradually sink into a kind of healed happiness.
(I haven't been able to perform any combos yet. Well, in that case, I can only try to improvise on the spot. I hope my feeling is correct.)
Chi Haimo: "Jelly Egg, spin and use a series of slaps to scatter those pink light particles."
After hearing this, Jigglypuff happily spun around in the center of the stage. The pink sparks touched Jigglypuff's palms and dissipated instantly like snow falling into his hands.
(Well, let's end it like this.)
Chi Haimo: "Jelly Egg, let's finish it, clap your hands together."
Chansey clapped his hands happily in the center of the stage. Although the scene looked very happy, it did not seem to have the effect that Heimer wanted. Heimer thought that such a powerful healing wave should last for a long time, but it was obvious that he was wrong. Although Chansey's healing wave was powerful, the light would disappear immediately after touching the body.
At this moment, after clapping his hands on the stage, Jigglypuff and Hammer bowed to the audience, ending the performance of the first review.
Then the screen flashed, and Heimer's score appeared on it: 17.5 points.
The moment Heimer saw the score, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. However, because Jigglypuff was right next to him, he did not look very sad. Instead, he tried hard to smile.
After returning backstage, Hemmer touched Chansey's head. Chansey was still very happy, as if he felt really happy playing with Hemmer on the stage just now.
After Heimer took out the Poké Ball and took back the Chansey Egg, he hunched his back in dejection. It was obvious that this mistake had dealt him a big blow.
(Don't be sad, Heimer. Victory and defeat are common in the military. Well, it's just a loss. It's nothing. Jigglypuff was having a lot of fun anyway. Well, don't be sad. Well, it's okay.)
Xiao Shun: "Heimer!"
After seeing Heimer finish his performance, Xiao Shun immediately rushed over to check on his condition. After seeing Xiao Shun, Heimer spoke to him in a relaxed manner.
Chi Haimo: "Well, Xiao Shun, you have to work harder. Oh, it seems that I really need to practice hard. Hahahaha, well, I lost."
Xiao Shun didn't say anything, but just hugged Heimer in his arms.
Xiao Shun: "Cry if you want to. It's normal to feel sad. It's okay. I'll block it for you. No one will see it. Just cry."
Xiao Shun's gentle words were like a soft pillow. Heimer, who had fallen from a high altitude, was suddenly moved to tears by this unexpected tenderness.
Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes, and Heimer choked and put his head on Xiaoshun's chest, crying and muttering.
Chi Haimo: "Sorry, sorry, um, but, I can't cry easily, but, I, um, no, if Jigglypuff knows, she will be troubled, sorry, um, sorry."
Xiao Shun hugged Heimer tightly in his arms, patted his back gently and said with a smile.
Xiao Shun: "If it weren't for the color craze, you would actually be very dazzling on the stage right now. I know. So, don't blame yourself too much."
Hearing Xiao Shun's words, Heimer cried even harder. But the amazing thing was that even though he shed so many tears, Heimer still didn't make any sound. He just hid in Xiao Shun's arms, crying silently.
Xiao Shun patted Heimer gently to comfort him, while looking at him with a helpless smile.
Xiao Shun: "After the game, let's train together."
Chi Haimo: "Hmm..."
