Chapter 161: Grand Celebration, Official Competition 64 to 32 (everything changes, everyone shows th
Early in the morning, Heimer came to the Pokémon Center to pick up the Pokémon who had completed their health check-ups.
Heimer came to the front desk of the Pokémon Center and found Chang'an was also there, and at the moment he was talking to Yasha.
Just as Heimer was about to step forward and say hello to Chang'an and Yasha, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice called him.
Xiao Shun: "Heimer."
Hearing Xiao Shun's voice, Heimer's breathing seemed to stop at this moment.
After Heimer panicked several times, he turned around and asked with a smile.
Chi Haimo: "Well, what's wrong?"
(Xiao Shun, the dark circles under his eyes have become much heavier. Have you not been sleeping well recently? His hair has also been cut short...)
Xiao Shun looked at Heimer gently, then said with a smile.
Xiao Shun: "Do your best in today's game."
Hearing Xiao Shun's words, there was no change in Heimer's expression. He just replied with a stiff smile.
Chi Haimo: "Yeah, you too."
Xiao Shun was about to continue saying something to Hai Mo when Chang An stepped forward and interrupted their conversation.
Changan: "Heimer, let's go. We should prepare for the first review of the official competition later."
Chi Haimo: "Eh? Now? But is there still time?"
Before Heimer finished speaking, Chang'an secretly patted him on the back.
Faced with Chang'an's action, Heimer immediately understood what Chang'an meant, and he spoke politely to Xiaoshun.
Chi Haimo: "Sorry, Xiao Shun, I'll leave first then."
Seeing this, Xiao Shun smiled and nodded, then spoke gently to Heimer.
Xiao Shun: "Yeah, okay."
After Xiaoshun left, Heimer lowered his head and spoke softly to Chang'an.
Chi Haimo: "Changan, thank you..."
Changan patted Heimer's shoulder gently and said.
Changan: "Well, I was at the front desk just now and saw that your expression was not very good, so, um, I came here without permission. Sorry."
Chi Haimo: "It's okay, you don't need to apologize, I...well, thank you."
Seeing Heimer's complicated expression, Chang'an did not ask Heimer any questions, but just hugged Heimer silently.
Chi Haimo: "Hahaha, I'm fine, thank you for your hug."
Changan: "Although I don't know why you are sad, as your friend, if you need anything from me, you can tell me. It's okay."
Hearing Chang'an's words, Heimer nodded a little moved and spoke to him gently.
Chi Haimo: "Well, okay, by the way, where is Yasha?"
Changan: "Ah, she heard that someone was coming to challenge the gym, so she went back to the Kamae Gym happily."
Chi Haimo: "Then, referee?"
Changan: "The previous referee's vacation is over."
Chi Haimo: "Ah, so that's why you look a little unhappy."
Changan: "Me? I'm fine, um, but Yasha also promised me that she would watch my replay, so, I'm fine."
I don’t know why, but every time Chang’an mentions Yasha, he can speak fluently. It seems that Yasha is really an important friend to Chang’an.
Having said that, actually, Heimer didn't hate Xiaoshun. To be honest, the breakup was too sudden and Heimer didn't even bother to find out the reason.
Well, there was nothing that could be done about it. At the time, Heimer was immersed in sorrow, so he had no energy to explore the reasons.
At the Pokémon Center, after Heimer took back the Pokémon that had completed their health checks, he went to the backstage preparation room of the main stage to prepare.
In addition, the first judges of today's official competition, Dr. Odamaki and Victor, had to leave first because they had research work to do.
Zi Yan and Ban Sheng also left because they received new performance jobs.
Although we were unable to see Hammer's live performance, everyone sent their blessings to Hammer before leaving.
This scene is just like the line in the movie Coco.
"We give you our blessings without any conditions."
At this time, the first review of the 64 to 32 rounds of the grand celebration, which is the official competition, is about to begin.
At this moment, Vivian was in the center of the main stage, elegantly lifting her skirt and smiling as she spoke to the camera and the audience.
Vivian: "Dear audience, the dream celebration of the coordination trainers, the big stage of the official competition of the Pokémon Grand Contest, is finally about to begin! The contestants who have won five ribbon medals in the Grand Contests in various places and won the top 64 in the Charm Stage of the preliminary round will have a fierce and gorgeous battle here to win the reputation of the top coordination trainer. Then, the coordination trainer who successfully wins the championship will be able to receive this brilliant and shining ribbon trophy awarded by the conference."
Because of Vivian's hosting, the audience cheered continuously. When the coordination trainers in the backstage preparation room saw the ribbon trophy on the TV screen, they immediately became excited.
After Vivian introduced the specific rules of the official competition to the audience, she then introduced the judges of the large-scale celebration official competition.
Vivian: "Now, I would like to introduce our examiners to you all. First of all, Mr. Konkenstein, Director of Conference Affairs and Chief Examiner!!"
After Vivian introduced Konkenstein, Konkenstein stood up happily and spoke to the audience sitting in the audience seats below the main stage.
Conkenstein: "I have a lot of emotions to welcome this great day. Please enjoy the stage performance presented to you by these high-level coordination trainers."
In response to Konkenstein's words, the audience responded with continuous applause.
Vivian: "Next, it's Mr. Suzuki, the president of the Pokémon Fan Club!!"
After Vivian introduced Sukisa, Sukisa said happily to the applause from the audience.
Suzuki: "I like it so much."
Vivian: "Then there are the Miss Joy that everyone is familiar with, the three Miss Joys who are the special advisors to the conference that we invited today."
When Vivian said this, three Miss Joys who looked similar picked up the microphone at the same time and spoke to the audience with a smile.
The three Miss Joys: "Good morning, everyone."
In response to Miss Joy's greetings, there was a warm response at the scene.
Among them, the one who responded most enthusiastically was definitely Xiaogang, who was so happy that he almost took off. Of course, Xiaogang didn't cheer for long, and was soon subdued by Xiaosheng.
Vivian: "The first review of the official competition focuses on the independent performance of a single Pokémon, with a time limit of three minutes. Then, the judges present here, that is, the examiners, each have a full score of 20 points. Only the top out of the contestants can advance to the second review of the gorgeous battle. So, the contestants who have passed the test of the charm stage, please enter the stage with your heads held high!"
After Vivian finished speaking, the first round of the grand gala competition officially began!!!
The order of the contestants' performance is determined by their ranking in the preliminary rounds. In addition, since the five contestants with full marks are tied for first place, the order of their full marks will be used to determine the performance.
Therefore, Chang'an, the first person to get full marks, was the last contestant to perform.
At the large-scale celebration, among all the coordination trainers that Heimer knew, the first to appear was actually Senior Harry.
Just like in the animation, Harry sent out a Cursed Doll as the Pokémon for the first review in the official competition.
Harry: "Cursed doll, use will-o'-the-wisp!"
The cursed doll waved its hands, and six balls of blue ghost fire slowly spun around it. Coupled with the cursed doll's eerie smile, it was really oppressive.
Harry: "Use Thunder next!"
Powerful lightning immediately gathered in the palm of the cursed doll. After the electric current gathered into a ball in the palm, it spread out in the air like a tree shadow, and then suddenly struck the cursed doll.
Facing the attack of thunder, the cursed doll was not afraid at all. Instead, it laughed happily with a ferocious face under the siege of thunder and lightning.
At this moment, the blue light of the will-o'-the-wisp and the arc light of the electric current complemented each other. Under the illumination of the two lights, the cursed doll looked like a ghost demanding its life. Its hideous and terrible smile brought great oppression to the whole audience.
After Harry's performance, the judges gave him a high score of 89 points, which was enough for him to advance to the top 32.
As expected of the first judge of the official competition, each contestant’s performance made people feel their powerful abilities, and the audience at the large-scale celebration was very excited by the amazing performances.
And at this moment, Xiaoyao came on stage...
Seeing Xiaoyao go on stage, Heimer couldn't help but sweat.
(I hope she didn't listen to Harry's advice. If she keeps using the special move, I'm afraid...)
Although Heimer had always been blessing her in his heart, Xiaoyao obviously still followed Harry's advice.
Xiaoyao: "Okay, let's go, Xiangwei, get on the stage!"
A flash of white light appeared on the stage, full of energy. The beautiful color of its fur and the good condition of its tail-bearing cat showed that it had been well bred.
Xiaoyao: "Xiangwei, use the help!"
The mysterious power of calling gathered in the claws of the cat, and what was called at this moment was the silver whirlwind that hunted the swallowtail butterfly.
The silver powder swirled like silver stars falling slowly from the sky. The silver whirlwind embellished the entire stage brilliantly. The audience in the entire venue cheered for seeing this beautiful move.
Xiaoyao, who saw this scene, smiled happily and shouted to Xiangwei Miao.
Xiaoyao: "This is great, Xiangwei, keep using the help!"
Catumo showed a cute smile full of vitality, and the light from the magic kept shining in the center of its claws. The charm of Xiaoyao's other Pokémon's moves was fully displayed by Catumo on the stage.
(Xiaoyao...)
Heimer, who was watching Xiaoyao's performance backstage, couldn't help but worry for her.
At this time, there were also voices of doubt about Xiaoyao's performance from the judges' panel.
Conkenstein: "It's fun to see all the special moves, but I haven't seen the charm of the cat itself so far."
Xiaoyao: "One more time, with help!"
The dazzling white light gathered again at the center of the cat's claws, and under the sunlight, it was instantly emitted with the help of the sunlight flame that was summoned.
After the sunlight and flames dissipated, Xiaoyao and Xiangwei Miao were both stunned at the same time.
Obviously, the appearance of this move was beyond the expectations of Xiaoyao and Xiangwei Miao.
Xiaoyao: "Xiangwei, what was that just now?"
Xiangwei Miao: "Huh?"
Because of the unexpected sunlight and blaze, Xiaoyao and Xiangwei Miao's rhythm suddenly stopped. Seeing this, Vivian gently reminded Xiaoyao.
Vivian: "Xiaoyao, because the special move just now stopped, there is not much time left."
Vivian's words immediately brought Xiaoyao back to her senses. Xiaoyao regained her courage and spoke to Wei Miao.
Xiaoyao: "Xiangwei, please help me again."
