Chapter 192 Beautiful singing voice can overcome everything (Lost the game, but won.)
At nine o'clock in the evening, Heimer and everyone were getting ready in the dressing room backstage at the Neon Town Music Festival.
That’s right, relying on the popularity gained at the grand celebration of the gorgeous competition, the band with Jigglypuff as the lead singer successfully won the opportunity to participate in the competition.
At this moment, the coyote was using his keen hearing to help Xianglan determine whether the sound of the pipa was tuned correctly.
In addition, Xianglan also helped with Heimer's guitar and Frandi's violin.
After everything was ready, everyone was about to go on stage, but Yimoer discovered that Jigglypuff was missing!!!
So everyone immediately went to the various rooms backstage to look for Jigglypuff.
At this time, Heimer was shouting Jigglypuff's name in the corridor next to the bathroom.
Chi Haimo: "Jumping! Jigging!"
Seeing no response, Heimer was about to leave, but unexpectedly, a melodious song suddenly reached Heimer's ears.
(Is this? Jigglypuff’s singing!)
Heimer immediately went to look for the source of the sound and discovered that Jigglypuff was actually in a small corner next to the toilet corridor, practicing the song he was going to sing on stage.
Chi Haimo: "Puff."
When Jigglypuff saw Heimer coming towards him, he slowly stopped singing and bowed to Heimer apologetically.
Jigglypuff: "Polly."
Seeing this, Heimer carefully sat down next to Jigglypuff, gently touched her head and said.
Chi Haimo: "You don't have to apologize, Jigglypuff... You must be very nervous. It's not easy to be on stage again."
Hearing Heimer's gentle words, Jigglypuff slowly lowered his head and showed a slightly frightened expression.
Jigglypuff: "Polly..."
In fact, Heimer understood the reason for Jigglypuff's fear. When he was practicing guitar before, Heimer saw on Pocket Navigator what happened to Jigglypuff after he participated in the talent show.
In order to increase popularity, the program team asked the female group members to evaluate Pang Ding.
After the show was broadcast, some people on the Internet said that the female group member who served as a mentor was not worthy of being Pang Ding's mentor because that female group member didn't even dare to sing live on the stage.
One can imagine what happened afterwards. The two groups of people on the Internet started to curse each other, and Pang Ding suffered an unprovoked disaster. After the show ended, she was subjected to online violence by the fans of that girl group member.
So, although Jigglypuff was very unwilling and angry, he was actually more afraid than unwilling and angry.
I am afraid that I will be denied by everyone again, I am afraid that I will be cyber-bullied again, I am afraid that I will become a stepping stone for others again.
However, no matter how scared she was, Pangding still loved singing very much. For this reason, during the time when she was being cyberbullied, she worked hard to practice her singing skills. While using singing to heal herself, she also successfully improved her singing skills to a higher level.
Maybe for Pang Ding, she really doesn’t care about the popularity, she just wants to sing on the stage again.
So her unwillingness and anger were not actually because she felt that her status was less than those of boy bands and girl bands, but more because she felt that she had lost the love of her life because of such things.
At this moment, Heimer looked at Jigglypuff's increasingly flustered expression as she was about to go on stage, and hugged her with a bit of heartache.
Chi Haimo: "You don't have to force yourself to be someone else's, Jigglypuff."
Jigglypuff: "Polly..."
Chi Haimo: "Give it a try, sing loudly for what you love, that's all."
Jigglypuff: "Polly."
In Heimer's arms, Jigglypuff cried sadly. It seemed that the online violence had really left a big shadow on her.
While Heimer patted Jigglypuff to comfort her, he spoke to her gently.
Chi Haimo: "No matter what the result of this music festival is, I will always be your most loyal listener, not for anything else, just because you sing really well!"
After hearing Heimer's affirmation, Jigglypuff broke free from Heimer's embrace, rubbed his red eyes, and then slowly smiled at Heimer.
Jigglypuff: "Polly."
Chi Haimo: "Let's go, let's finish this performance."
Heimer gently extended his hand to Jigglypuff. Looking at the man in front of him who supported him unreservedly, Jigglypuff felt a sense of confidence that he hadn't felt for a long time for some reason.
With Helmer's support, I look at my broken self again, and then believe in myself again.
Heimer carried Jigglypuff back to the dressing room, and after making final preparations with everyone, they waited together for the time to go on stage.
The music festival in Neon Town is really all show and no substance. The publicity work is very good and there are a lot of gimmicks, but the girl groups in Neon Town all lip-sync and the boy groups all perform electronic music.
Even so, the fans in the audience were still cheering loudly. Xianglan, who saw all this, said she couldn't understand it at all.
Seeing this, Heimer said with a smile.
Chi Haimo: "Perhaps, those girl groups and boy groups have charms that we haven't discovered."
Xianglan: "Well... maybe. After all, sometimes, we really can't judge the quality based on our preferences. But, anyway, for me, those performances just now, well... I really don't like them very much."
Frandy: “Me too.”
Changan: "Me too."
Hearing everyone's conversation, Yi Moer immediately spoke anxiously.
Yimoer: "Shh! Shh! Stop talking! Be careful, walls have ears! If someone records it, you may be the center of public opinion."
Xianglan: "I'm not afraid. I don't care what those people think of me anyway."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, Frandy immediately spoke to Yimer.
Frandy: "It will be our turn soon."
Yimoer: "Well, we are next."
Chi Haimo: "Well, dear friends, let's go!"
On the stage of the Neon Town Music Festival, after the last male group performed, Haimo and Jigglypuff, as well as Frandy, Xianglan and Changan, took the stage as the Wisteria Band!!
Of course, Heimer had asked Bansheng and Ziyan about performing under the name of Wisteria Band, and they both supported it very much.
At this moment, some fans who had cyber-bullied Pang Ding in the audience recognized Pang Ding and immediately started cursing at him in unison.
Some fans: "Get off the stage!! Get off the stage!!!"
Seeing this, Xianglan immediately took out Charizard's Poké Ball and said in a domineering manner.
Xianglan: "Charizard!! Use Exploding Flame towards the sky!!"
After the white light faded and Charizard shot a powerful explosion of flames into the sky, the fans in the audience immediately fell silent.
Xianglan picked up the microphone and shouted to the audience with a ferocious smile on her face.
Xianglan: "Oops, I'm sorry for scaring everyone just now. This is the band's exclusive opening ceremony. Ahem, then next, the Wisteria Band will begin its performance."
After Xianglan finished speaking, she took a deep breath and nodded at Heimer.
(What a great ability to control the situation, worthy of being Sister Xianglan.)
After that, the performance of the Wisteria Band began!!
Jianzicao was holding Haimo's small camera and recording in the sky.
The Lizard King was in charge of controlling the lights on the stage. The reason why the Lizard King was in charge was very simple. The original lighting engineer quit on the spot when he saw that the lead singer was the unpopular Jigglypuff. So, the Lizard King took over personally.
At this moment, Changan slowly played the electronic organ, and the clear and light tone of the electronic organ opened the show beautifully.
What followed was Frandi's violin, whose clear and high-pitched tone complemented the sound of the electronic keyboard, instantly bringing out the charm of the song's melody itself.
Frandy and Chang'an, two handsome and charming men, played the electronic organ and violin on the stage. This prelude performance instantly attracted most of the audience's attention.
Afterwards, Frandy's violin stopped, Changan's electronic piano continued, and at this moment, Jigglypuff started singing.
The melodious and beautiful voice immediately attracted the attention of the whole audience. Although there were some people who maliciously disrupted the performance, the sincere and beautiful singing voice was enough to overcome everything in most cases! !
After Pang Ding finished singing the first section, Changan's electronic piano stopped, and Heimer immediately started playing the guitar in his hand. The connection between the two sections was very natural, which drew exclamations from the audience.
After performing the verse and chorus of the first section, Xianglan slowly played the pipa in her hand. The timbre of this national musical instrument brought the mood created by the song to its climax.
Following the performance of the pipa, Jigglypuff also fully released his energy at this moment, finishing the performance with a perfect high note and ending the show smoothly!!
After the performance, the audience applauded continuously and everyone cheered for this wonderful performance.
However, there were also some people with malicious intentions who were giving the middle finger and booing in the audience.
After all the performances were over, as expected, the organizer maliciously changed the voting results in order to promote those boy bands and girl bands, and the Wisteria Band won the last place.
However, even so, there was no expression of loss on Jigglypuff's face. Instead, he was very happy because he had completed a super good performance with everyone.
After the performance, Heimer handed over the video footage recorded by Jianzi Cao to the team responsible for broadcasting the battle between Kyogre and Groudon every year.
After watching the video tape, the team decided to do Highmore a favor and broadcast the performance continuously on TV in the Hoenn region.
As expected, people who were moved by the performance went to the channel of the organizer of the Neon Town Music Festival and left messages saying that the competition should not be held if there is shady dealings.
Finally, under the strong public opinion, Pang Ding received many invitations to programs overnight. Strictly speaking, Pang Ding became popular again.
All the people who watched the performance that night left messages on the Internet to support Pang Ding and began to boycott lip-syncing.
Among these netizens who support Jigglypuff, there is also Lord Rayquaza who is surfing the Internet at the Sky Pillar.
Daigo seemed to have connected an Internet cable to Rayquaza and also bought him a computer with a large screen for his convenient use.
In addition, Yimoer also showed a very happy expression on his face after hearing the news.
It feels really good to finally get something after all the hard work. At least that's how it feels to Yimoer, but Jigglypuff doesn't seem to be very happy.
After the performance at the music festival, Xianglan, Changan, Frandi and Haimo agreed to go to Xianglan's house together later.
Of course, that was after the big celebration in Kanto was over.
In order to collect the five ribbon medals as quickly as possible, Xianglan, Chang'an and Frandy left Neon Town early in the morning and embarked on their journey.
And because of Jigglypuff's invitation, Heimer decided to stay for another day. For some reason, Jigglypuff seemed reluctant to see Heimer leave.
However, all good things must come to an end. Just like Jigglypuff has a dream of singing, Heimer also has his own dream in Kanto.
So in the end, after a day, Heimer still had to leave.
At this moment at the bus stop, Yimoer and Jigglypuff were saying their final goodbyes to Heimer.
Jigglypuff: "Polly."
Looking at Jigglypuff's sad expression, Heimer said with a gentle smile.
Chi Haimo: "Puffy, I'm leaving now. Well, I hope you can always be on the stage, singing freely and happily."
Jigglypuff: "Polly..."
Chi Haimo: "Mo'er, I'm leaving now."
Yimoer: "Well, thank you, Haimo, I wish you can achieve good results in the gorgeous competition."
Chi Haimo: "Well, I'll lend you my good words."
After Heimer finished speaking, he touched Jigglypuff's head, then slowly walked onto the bus, found his seat and sat down, waiting for the bus to start.
At this moment, Jigglypuff looked at Heimer's back, then turned around to look at the bustling Neon Town behind him. Even in the daytime, the colorful neon lights of Neon Town were still dazzling and gorgeous.
For some reason, she placed her hand on her chest, but felt that what she wanted was no longer in the glamorous entertainment industry in Neon Town.
Yi Moer looked at the expression on Pang Ding's face. As her agent, she understood what she was thinking at the moment, so Yi Moer whispered to Pang Ding.
Yimoer: "The car is about to leave. If you want to go, go ahead."
Jigglypuff: "Polly? Polly..."
After hearing what Yimoer said, the direction in Pangding's mind seemed to become clear. She bowed to Yimoer with great gratitude and immediately ran onto the bus.
When Heimer saw Jigglypuff get on the car, he looked confused and shocked.
Chi Haimo: "Puff?"
Jigglypuff jumped onto Heimer's legs, adjusted his position and sat on Heimer's legs, then looked up at Heimer with a smile.
Faced with Jigglypuff's actions, Heimer naturally understood what she meant, and asked worriedly.
Chi Haimo: "Have you thought it through? If you go with me, it will be difficult for you to return to the entertainment industry in Neon Town in the future."
Hearing Heimer's question, Jigglypuff nodded to Heimer without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Heimer did not dissuade him anymore. He just smiled, touched Jigglypuff's head, and said happily.
Chi Haimo: "Well, from now on, please give me more advice, Jigglypuff."
Jigglypuff: "PollyPolly."
Afterwards, the bus started, and after saying goodbye to Imore through the window, Heimer and Jigglypuff embarked on a new journey that belonged to each other.
