Chapter 191: The Diva of Neon Town (The Temporary Band Battles the Neon Town Music Scene)

For some reasons, Xianglan, Changan and Frandy arrived in Kanto before Heimer. Well, the specific reason was that Changan got a free ticket for a luxury cruise, which was just enough for three people and had a time limit and would expire.

As a result, the agreement that the four of them had made to come to Kanto together was canceled. Xianglan, Changan, and Frandy came to Kanto before Heimer to experience the luxury cruise ticket.

At this moment, Heimer was sitting on a bus to a town called Neon Town. The four of them had agreed to attend a local music festival there. It was said that the new singers who debuted there in recent months were very popular.

At seven o'clock in the evening, after the bus arrived at the station, Heimer walked in the woods while checking the information on the pocket navigator.

(Hmm... this positioning is too bad.)

Because the signal is very poor, the positioning on the Pocket Navigator keeps changing.

Chi Haimo: "Well... things have come to this point."

Heimer took out the Coyote's Poké Ball, and with a flash of white light, the Coyote appeared obediently in front of Heimer. Heimer gently touched the Coyote's head and spoke to him softly.

Chi Haimo: "Coyote dog, do me a small favor. Can you help me feel if there are any sounds of people nearby, or some human smells or something like that?"

After Heimer finished speaking, the coyote nodded and began to search carefully.

Not long after, the coyote suddenly ran to the side, and Heimer immediately followed.

Heimer thought that he would see the gorgeous lights of Neon Town, but who knew that he would see a familiar pink figure - Jigglypuff!!!

At this moment, Jigglypuff was sitting on a tree stump, looking at the starry sky and humming a ballad softly.

Jigglypuff's wonderful voice is like the moonlight at night, soft and bright, sweet and unique.

In addition, when Helmer was enjoying Jigglypuff's singing, he found that this Jigglypuff seemed to be different from the Jigglypuff with the microphone. Moreover, the song sung by this Jigglypuff did not make Helmer and the coyote dog sleepy.

(It sounds so good... Wait, if that's the case, then the Jigglypuff holding the microphone, who can make people fall asleep when he sings, is it actually a special combat talent? After all, the use of a move should make the Pokémon tired.)

Before Heimer could figure out what was going on, the coyote ran over without permission because of Jigglypuff's beautiful singing.

After seeing this, Heimer lowered his voice nervously and said.

Chi Haimo: "Ah!! Coyote dog!!"

When Jigglypuff saw the coyote, he looked at him warily and stopped singing.

Jigglypuff: "Polly?"

Coyote: "Awoo, awoo."

The coyote was wagging its tail happily, and seemed to be saying something to Jigglypuff.

After hearing what the coyote said, Jigglypuff laughed happily and bowed to the coyote very ladylike. It seemed that the coyote was just praising Jigglypuff's singing.

After that, Heimer immediately ran to the coyote, picked him up and said to Jigglypuff.

Chi Haimo: "Sorry, we didn't mean to disturb you."

After hearing what Heimer said, Jigglypuff immediately smiled and shook his head, as if to tell Heimer that it was okay.

Just then, Heimer discovered that Jigglypuff was wearing a small rose earring on his left ear.

(What is this? Does this Jigglypuff have a trainer?)

Yimoer: "Puff!"

Just as Heimer was carefully observing Jigglypuff in front of him, a girl with long black hair and bangs ran towards Heimer and the others.

Yimoer: "Puff, why did you run out without permission again?"

Jigglypuff: "PollyPolly."

In response to Yimoer's question, Jigglypuff bowed to Yimoer apologetically.

After touching Jigglypuff's head, Yimoer looked at Heimer and the coyote in confusion and asked.

Yimoer: “Who are you?”

Chi Haimo: "Hello, my name is Chi Haimo, and this is my best friend Coyote Dog."

Yimoer: "Hello, my name is Yimoer, just call me Moer."

Chi Haimo: "Yeah, are you the trainer of this Jigglypuff? Jigglypuff's singing voice is really beautiful."

Hearing Heimer's praise, Jigglypuff happily bowed to Heimer again.

And Yimer said to Heimer with a wry smile.

Imoer: "Thank you for the compliment. Um... But strictly speaking, I'm not Jigglypuff's trainer, but her agent."

Chi Haimo: "Agent?"

Yimoer: "Well, Jigglypuff is a very outstanding singer in our Neon Town. Well, it was a long time ago."

When Yimoer said this, Jigglypuff lowered his head a little sadly.

Chi Haimo: "How could it be? Such a beautiful singing voice..."

Yimoer: "Well... now everyone likes those boy bands and girl bands that come out of talent shows. Old singers like Jigglypuff have no chance to perform on stage."

Chi Haimo: "Boys' and girls' groups? Are they also formed by Pokémon?"

Yimoer: "Yes, there are people who have Pokémon groups. Um... Jigglypuff has participated in auditions where people from those groups and Pokémon are mentors. It turns out that the program team invited him just to get the so-called popularity from Jigglypuff to promote those new stars."

(I can’t believe… that something like this would happen in this world.)

Seeing Yimoer’s increasingly sad expression as she spoke, it was obvious that she and Jigglypuff were helpless in this Neon Town.

After saying this, Yimer took a deep breath, then picked up Jigglypuff and said to Heimer.

Yimoer: "I'm sorry for suddenly saying all this to you guys whom I just met. Well, we should go back now. Goodbye."

Just as Yimoer was about to leave with Jigglypuff in her arms, Heimer stopped them with the coyote in his arms and said.

Chi Haimo: "Well, sorry, I want to ask, didn't Jigglypuff participate in the performance of this music festival?"

Yimoer: “Um… no.”

Chi Haimo: "I heard that this music festival is held in the form of a competition. If, I mean if, Jigglypuff can beat those girl groups and boy groups at the music festival. Then, won't we be able to sing on various stages again?"

After hearing Heimer's proposal, Yimer did not show a happy expression, but the expression on his face became more solemn.

Yimoer: "The organizer... will not invite Jigglypuff. Compared to those stars with high traffic and popularity, Jigglypuff is just a has-been singer now."

When Pudding heard Yimoer say the same thing about him, a very sad expression appeared on his face.

When Heimer heard what Yimer said, he immediately spoke to her a little angrily.

Chi Haimo: "No!!! I don't think so!!! Jigglypuff's singing voice is very nice!!! He is definitely qualified to stand on the stage in Neon Town!!!"

Coyote: "Ouch! Ouch!"

After hearing what Heimer said, the coyote immediately nodded vigorously to show its agreement.

Chi Haimo: "Besides, is Jigglypuff really willing to give up like this?"

Jigglypuff: "Polly..."

When Jigglypuff saw that Heimer and the Coyote supported him so resolutely, for some reason, a flame of unwillingness ignited in his heart.

So, Jigglypuff broke free from Yimer's arms, and then mustered up the courage to say something to her.

Jigglypuff: "Polly!! Polly!!"

Chi Haimo: "You see, Jigglypuff is not willing to lose to those boy bands and girl bands just like that."

Hearing what Heimer said, Jigglypuff nodded angrily. It seemed that she was really unwilling to accept it.

At this time, Yimoer sighed again, and then said very dejectedly.

Yimoer: "But... no matter how much we want to be on the show, we have no way, because the organizers... don't think highly of us. We have no popularity, so we won't have any traffic."

Indeed, no matter how much faith Jigglypuff has, if the organizers do not agree, Jigglypuff will never be able to go on stage.

Seeing this, Heimer thought for a moment, then said to Yimer and Jigglypuff with a smile.

Chi Haimo: "What if I say, I have it?"

Yimoer: “You???”

Chi Haimo: "Yes, I, um, maybe, there can be three more people."

At 7:30 in the evening, Chang'an, Frandy and Xianglan were waiting for Heimer at the gate of Neon Town.

Xianglan: "It's strange, Brother Haimo, why haven't you come yet? The music festival is about to start."

Frandy: "Maybe he got lost. After all, the signal around here is not very good."

Changan: "I'll go find it."

Xianglan: "Oh, no need, he's here."

At this time, Heimer was holding the coyote and running towards the entrance of Neon Town. Imore and Jigglypuff were traveling with them.

When Xianglan saw Heimer, she waved at him happily and said.

Xianglan: "Brother Haimo, why are you here so late? Did you encounter any danger on the road?"

After Heimer arrived at the gate of Neon Town, he gently put down the coyote dog, then squatted down and gasped for air. Seeing this, Chang'an asked worriedly.

Changan: "Are you okay?"

Chi Haimo: "No, it's okay, I ran too hard."

Frandy: "Um...Heimer, who is this?"

Yimoer spoke to everyone while catching his breath.

Yimoer: "Hello everyone, my name is Yimoer, and I'm the agent of this Jigglypuff."

Xianglan: "Agent?"

Frandy: "I see. So, Ms. Jigglypuff is a singer."

Jigglypuff: "PollyPolly."

Jigglypuff greeted everyone with a smile, and at this time, Heimer finally calmed down.

Chi Haimo: "Everyone, I have something to ask for your help."

After Heimer explained the details of the matter to everyone, the three agreed without hesitation.

Changan: "Okay, I'll help you."

Xianglan: "Yeah, great. Killing people on stage in this way, hahahaha, is pretty good."

Frandy: "I have no problem with that either, but Heimer, what should we do specifically?"

Chi Haimo: "The plan is this. We will use the popularity of the four of us to help Jigglypuff get on stage. The four of us have received various invitations to the Hoenn Gorgeous Contest before. So, I think that maybe the four of us have the popularity that the organizer wants. As long as the four of us form a band with Jigglypuff to participate in this music festival, we may be able to get Jigglypuff a chance to go on stage. After that, Jigglypuff, who will show his skills at the music festival, will successfully defeat those boy bands and girl bands and return to the peak of the queen of singing!!"

After Heimer finished speaking, Frandy, Chang'an and Xianglan all fell into deep thought.

Xianglan: "That's a good idea, but Brother Haimo...if we really do what this agent said, even if we succeed in getting on stage, we won't be able to win."

After hearing Xianglan's words, Heimer said in confusion.

Chi Haimo: "Why? Jigglypuff's songs are really nice, and the four of us can play instruments. I'm on guitar, Chang'an is on keyboard, Frandy is on violin, and Sister Xianglan is on pipa. It's perfect with the arrangement modified by Yimoer."

Frandy: "Heimer, you misunderstood. It's not that we don't trust Jigglypuff and you, but... what if the same situation happens again this time as when Jigglypuff participated in the draft?"

Chi Haimo: "Are you saying that the organizers deliberately controlled the votes to let those boy bands and girl bands win, and then used this to create hype and promote those stars?"

Xianglan: "Yeah, that's right. By then, not only will we not be able to help Jigglypuff, but we will also become a tool for others."

Chi Haimo: "This..."

When talking about this point, everyone basically showed a sad expression.

Changan: "I... have a solution."

Chi Haimo: "What method?"

Changan: "The organizer can indeed control who wins the music festival, but he cannot control who the audience likes. I believe that sincere singing will move everyone. Of course, the premise is that everyone has to see Jigglypuff's performance."

Chi Haimo: "Well, this... I have a way!!"
