Chapter 146 Let’s sing on stage again as the Wisteria Band, Helmer! (Yeah!)
In addition to some very famous bands, there are also some less famous bands. For these less famous bands, this stage is a very precious opportunity.
While waiting, because Huanghuangban drank too much pineapple juice, he tugged at Heimer's clothes with his hands, as if to tell him that he wanted to go to the bathroom.
Chi Haimo: "Well, wait a minute, let me take a look. Oh, great, there is a public toilet nearby. Let's go, let's go."
Huang Huang Ban: "Huang~"
Heimer took Ban Huang's hand and temporarily left his seat. After arriving at the public toilet displayed on the pocket navigator, Ban Huang hurriedly ran into the toilet staggeringly. It seemed that he had been holding it in for a long time.
(Well, by the way, the prize money I won when I won the last Tongxin Conference is almost all spent. Otherwise, I might as well do a part-time job.)
Just as Heimer was checking his pocket navigator and thinking, he heard a quarrel coming from the bushes nearby.
Out of curiosity, Heimer took a sneak peek and discovered that the argument came from the two people who had been deceived by the fraudulent information on the forum last time.
(Those two people, as I remember, were called Bansheng and Ziyan. Hmm, judging from their attire, they were also the performing band for this music festival?)
Zi Yan: "Ban Sheng, but we have no other choice now. Not only did we fail to get the Fire Stone last time, but my hand was also injured when I fell in the cave. Sigh, we have to give up our performance tonight."
Facing Zi Yan's anxiety, Ban Sheng seemed very calm. He spoke to Zi Yan gently in a voice as soft as fingernails scratching on a blackboard.
Bansheng: "It's okay, Ziyan, calm down."
(This tone, are his vocal cords injured?)
Zi Yan: "Ah, I understand, but I just can't calm down. It's not easy for the band we formed together to successfully get to this point today. However, when those people knew that your vocal cords were injured, they ran away immediately. They can't be considered brothers at all. Ah!!! I'm really pissed off."
(What a grumpy personality. Hmm, I think Huanghuangban should be fine now.)
Huang Huang Ban: "Huang?"
Looking at the sneaky Heimer, Dancing Ban showed a very puzzled expression, while Heimer was frightened by Dancing Ban's sudden appearance.
Chi Haimo: "Ah! Huang Huang Ban! Phew, you scared me."
After hearing the voice, Zi Yan yelled at Hai Mo without saying a word.
Zi Yan: "Who is it!!!"
Chi Haimo: "Ah, sorry, sorry."
Zi Yan: "Who are you? The person who was defrauded last time!"
Chi Haimo: "Ah, I have a name. My name is Chi Haimo, just call me Haimo. This is my best friend, Huang Huang Ban."
Huang Huang Ban: "Huang~"
Huanghuangban greeted Zi Yan happily. After Zi Yan found out that the other party had no hostility, she said apologetically to Haimo.
Zi Yan: "Sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you just now. I'm really sorry. By the way, I didn't introduce myself properly last time. My name is Zi Yan, and his name is Ban Sheng and he is my teammate."
Facing Zi Yan's apology, Hai Mo quickly spoke gently.
Chi Haimo: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay. By the way, you are also one of the bands that will perform this time, right?"
Zi Yan: "Originally, it was, but unfortunately now..."
Bansheng: "Zi Yan! Cough cough cough..."
Seeing that Bansheng was coughing so uncomfortably, Heimer took out some fruits from his bag that might make his throat feel a little better.
Chi Haimo: "This is for you, it should make your throat feel a little better."
Bansheng: “Thank you.”
Chi Haimo: "By the way, have you encountered anything bad?"
Zi Yan sighed helplessly and said slowly to Hai Mo.
Zi Yan: "It's okay to tell you. To put it simply, our band can't perform on stage anymore."
Hearing this, Heimer was obviously very shocked.
Chi Haimo: "Ah? You guys, aren't going to go on stage?"
Bansheng was about to say something, but he started coughing again. Seeing this, Zi Yan patted his back and spoke gently to Hai Mo.
Zi Yan: "Ban Sheng is the lead singer of our band, but he had some accidents before and had some problems with his voice. As for the others, well, it makes me angry when I talk about this, because they heard that Ban Sheng's voice was damaged, so they all fled at the last minute! Tell me, Hai Mo, these guys are too much!!!"
Bansheng: "Purple smoke."
It was only after Ban Sheng's reminder that Zi Yan realized that she had spoken loudly again.
Zi Yan: "Ah, sorry, sorry."
Chi Haimo: "It's okay."
Zi Yan swallowed and continued to speak to Hai Mo.
Zi Yan: "Then, I originally wanted to try my best to create some effects on the stage."
Chi Haimo: "The effect on the stage?"
Zi Yan: "Yeah, that's why we went to that place on the forum. Unfortunately, I didn't expect it to be a scam. I was hoping to get the Fire Stone to evolve Vulpix. In this way, maybe I could use his fire to make some good stage effects to make up for the shortcomings. Damn, thinking about this, I got even angrier. The coordinator trainer we originally arranged didn't come either! Ah!!! Really, otherwise, why would we need to do the stage effects ourselves!!"
Seeing Zi Yan start to speak loudly again, Ban Sheng hurriedly reminded her.
Bansheng: "Purple Smoke..."
Zi Yan: "Ahhh, sorry, sorry."
Faced with the dilemma the two faced, Heimer smiled.
Chi Haimo: "If it's a stage effect, maybe I can help."
Zi Yan: "Ah? You?"
Hearing Zi Yan's doubt, Hai Mo said confidently.
Chi Haimo: "Well, actually I am also a coordination trainer, and now, I have obtained five ribbon medals."
When Zi Yan heard that Heimer had received five ribbon medals, an expression of admiration appeared on her face.
Zi Yan: "Wow, if that's possible, that would be a great help, um, but..."
Chi Haimo: "Well, what's wrong?"
Zi Yan: "Because Ban Sheng's voice is injured, the original plan was for me to play the guitar and then add flames for the stage effect. And now, because my hand is also injured, so, um..."
Chi Haimo: "Is that so..."
Zi Yan: "Well, thank you very much for your help, Hai Mo, but we have decided not to perform."
Chi Haimo: "Ah!? But I remember that if I refuse to perform at the Xiaoman Island Music Festival, then..."
Zi Yan: "Well, the people involved will never be able to step onto this stage again in their lifetime, but never mind, we can still sing on the streets anyway, which can be considered as realizing our musical dreams."
Just as Heimer was about to say something, Lizard King and Butterfree came over. It seemed that they were a little worried because Heimer and Butterfree had not returned to their seats for a long time.
Chi Haimo: "Ah, sorry, sorry."
Zi Yan: "Are they Heimer's Pokémon?"
Hearing Zi Yan's question, Heimer smiled and spoke softly to him.
Chi Haimo: "Well, to be precise, they are my very important friends."
Zi Yan: "Oh, I see. Well, it can be seen that they are very important to you."
Bansheng: "Zi Yan, let's go."
Zi Yan: "Hey, I want to chat with Hai Mo for a while longer. Anyway, we are not planning to go on stage tonight."
Hearing the word "going on stage", the Lizard King patted Heimer's shoulder curiously, as if asking him what going on stage was all about.
Chi Haimo: "Oh, they are also the band that will be on stage today."
Zi Yan: "Originally, it was. Alas, unfortunately, our band doesn't have a lead singer now, so we can't go on stage tonight."
Chi Haimo: "By the way, Zi Yan, did you originally plan to go on stage alone?"
Zi Yan: "Yeah, that's right. Originally I wanted to play an electric guitar solo, and then add the stage effect of flames. This way, it should be considered a performance. Unfortunately, my hand is injured now, so I can't play the guitar. Damn it!!!"
Bansheng: "Purple Smoke..."
Zi Yan: "Ah, sorry, sorry."
(Zi Yan really likes chatting with others. Every time she opens her mouth, she will say a lot. On the contrary, Ban Sheng doesn’t talk that much.)
When the Lizard King heard Zi Yan say that they were short of a lead singer, his eyes suddenly lit up. Perhaps it was because he knew that Heimer had always been eager to go on stage, so the Lizard King walked up to Zi Yan without hesitation, patted her on the shoulder, and immediately pointed at Heimer.
Zi Yan: "Ah? What's wrong?"
Chi Haimo: "Lizard King?"
Seeing that Zi Yan didn't understand what he meant, the Lizard King immediately made a gesture of holding a microphone and singing, then pointed at Heimer again.
Chi Haimo: "Hmm? Lizard King, do you want to go on stage?"
Zi Yan: "Ah? You want to go on stage? Well, there are precedents for Pokémon to go on stage as lead singers. But, let me hear your singing first."
Hearing this, the Lizard King shook his head helplessly, and at this moment, Bansheng had already seen what the Lizard King meant.
Bansheng: "No, Ziyan, he meant that Haimo can sing."
Chi Haimo: “Ah?”
Zi Yan: "Hey!!! Why didn't you say it earlier, Hai Mo, come on, let me hear it, if it's okay..."
Before Zi Yan finished speaking, Heimer interrupted her.
Chi Haimo: "I'm sorry, both of you. I'm willing but not strong enough to perform on such a big stage..."
Zi Yan: "But..."
At this time, Bansheng stepped forward, patted Zi Yan's shoulder gently, and said to Hai Mo.
Bansheng: "Well, can you let us listen to it first? If your singing is really not good, we won't force you. But if your singing is OK, please help us."
Chi Haimo: "I, okay then..."
Afterwards, Helmer and the Lizard King were pulled by Bansheng and Zi Yan to the room where their band was preparing, while Butterfree and Drifter returned to their seats.
Zi Yan: "Then, let's get started."
Facing the Lizard King, Zi Yan and Ban Sheng, for some reason, Heimer just couldn't speak.
Chi Haimo: "No..."
Seeing that Heimer was so nervous, Zi Yan put her hands on Heimer's shoulders and spoke to him gently.
Zi Yan: "Take a deep breath, it's okay, just like you usually sing to yourself in your room, believe in yourself."
For some reason, under Zi Yan's guidance, the tension in Heimer slowly dissipated. After Heimer took a deep breath, his melodious and beautiful singing slowly floated throughout the room.
At this moment, all the noise in the band's preparation room stopped, and everyone fell silent because of Heimer's singing.
Heimer's ethereal and unique voice instantly gave this small world in the room a sense of tranquility and distant power.
The singing was over. At this moment, not only Lizard King, Zi Yan and Ban Sheng, but also everyone else in the band's preparation room, started to applaud.
Everyone was praising his singing. Seeing this novel-like plot happening to him, Heimer was suddenly at a loss.
Finally, after Zi Yan's repeated requests, Hai Mo agreed to go on stage, performing under the name of Zi Yan and Ban Sheng's band.
Sing on stage again under the name of Wisteria Band.
