Chapter 268: Heimer vs. Lingxi (Haunter vs. Cat Boss)
After Lingxi's performance, it was soon Heimer's turn.
At this moment, Heimer had taken off the tights with cat tails and put on a pair of looser pants, and put on the black cloak given by Walter White.
After he was ready, he walked onto the stage. The combination of the black cape and white cat ears, coupled with Hemer's handsome face, immediately drew the audience's cheers.
Lillian: "Well, next, let's invite Chi Haimo and his Pokémon to give us a wonderful performance!! Here we go!!!"
(Well... no matter what, getting the fifth badge is still the priority for now.)
Chi Haimo: "Laugh out loud in the flames. Go ahead, Catwoman!"
After Heimer threw the Pokémon Ball onto the stage, a white light flashed, and Growlithe stuck out its tongue happily, jumping repeatedly on the cushion again and again, its vitality and cuteness conveyed to the eyes of every audience member.
Chi Haimo: "Karti Dog, first is the Flame Vortex!"
Several flames shot out from Growlithe's mouth. Under Growlithe's command, the flame vortexes quickly dispersed and rotated. In an instant, five flame vortices swayed and twisted rhythmically around Growlithe's body.
Chi Haimo: "Next, use the charged flame attack!"
Bright flames glowed on Growlithe's orange-yellow fur, and the flames flowed and flickered on Growlithe's body. With the speed bonus brought by the charged flame attack, Growlithe happily sprinted back and forth between the five flame vortices, colliding repeatedly.
After a while, because Growlithe's speed was increased to the highest point by the charged flame attack, Growlithe's figure gradually became unclear. Its afterimage turned into a burning red line on Growlithe's sprinting track. In an instant, a five-pointed star shape appeared in front of everyone's eyes between the five flame vortices.
Lillian: "Wow! A burning flaming pentagram is formed. Growlithe's performance is really outstanding. The charm of fire-attribute moves is fully displayed."
Chi Haimo: "Karti, it's almost over, use Fire Vortex again!"
After the flames from the charged flame attack on Growlithe's body dissipated, Growlithe jumped into the air with the help of the elasticity of the cushion.
Then, the vortex of fire instantly dissipated from Growlithe's mouth like a huge pot lid, and with a bang, a huge vortex of fire turned upside down in the center of the stage.
After swallowing up all the fire whirlpools on the stage, the huge fire vortex instantly dissipated in the air and turned into sparks that slowly fell onto the stage.
At this point, Highmore and Catwoman's performance ended, and the score appeared on the big screen at this moment, 26.8 points.
Although there should be no problem in entering the second review, Heimer felt very complicated after seeing this score.
(I feel like I’ve been standing still... um...)
At this time, Catwoman happily pounced on Hammer after the performance.
Katie: "Katy~"
Chi Haimo: "Ah, sorry, sorry, I was thinking too hard. Well, you did a good job, Catwoman."
In response to Heimer's praise, Catwoman licked Heimer's cheek happily, and Heimer smiled and said.
Chi Haimo: "Hahahaha, Katie, it's so itchy."
Katie: "Katy~"
After that, after the last contestant finished his performance, the first review of the Civet Cat Conference came to an end.
At this moment, the list of candidates who advanced to the second review also appeared on the big screen. There were only four places for the second review this time.
And Haimo, Xiaoshun, and Lingxi all appeared on the list.
After the screen flashed for a while, the grouping results came out immediately. Heimer's opponent in the first stage was Lingxi.
After seeing this result, Lingxi chuckled, as if he was confident enough in his own ability.
Xiao Shun: "Heimer, see you in the finals."
Chi Haimo: "Well, okay."
After the break, the second round of competition officially began.
After Heimer and Lingxi walked to the two sides of the battlefield, Lillian shouted to the audience with a smile.
Lillian: "Well, everyone, the exciting moment has finally arrived. The first match of the first stage, Chi Haimo vs. Lingxi, is about to begin. Both players, please take out your Pokémon."
Chi Haimo: "Let everyone's heart beat faster for you, go, Haunter!"
Lingxi: "I'm counting on you, Boss Cat!"
Two Poké Balls fell onto the cushion at the same time. There was a flash of white light, and Haunter and Cat Boss appeared on the stage at the same time, emitting their own powerful aura and staring at each other.
Lillian: "Well, five minutes countdown, start! Here we go!!!"
Lingxi: "Boss Cat, Shadow Ball!"
Chi Haimo: "Haunter, grab Cat Boss's throat with your hands!"
After hearing Lingxi's instructions, Cat Boss quickly gathered the black shadows into a ball.
And at the moment before the Shadow Ball was launched, Haunter immediately shot his left hand directly towards Cat Boss's neck.
With a bang, Cat Boss was pressed to the ground by Haunter's hanging hand. The Shadow Ball deviated from its trajectory and did not hit Haunter, so Lingxi's score was deducted.
Lillian: "Wow, Chi Haimo flexibly used Haunter's physical characteristics. After Haunter's separated left hand flexibly pinched Cat Boss's neck, Cat Boss's Shadow Ball completely deviated from the track. So, what will Lingxi do next?"
Lingxi: "Damn it, don't be so complacent, Boss Cat, use 100,000 volts!"
Chi Haimo: "Haunter, use hypnosis!"
After Heimer gave the order, Haunter's detached left hand grabbed Cat Boss's neck and pulled him in front of him. In an instant, a force that made the creature feel tired spread in Haunter's eyes, and Cat Boss fell to the ground and fell asleep. Lingxi's score was deducted again.
Lingxi: "Boss Cat!! Damn, I didn't expect that Haunter's speed is so fast."
(Well... actually your cat boss is too slow.)
When Haunter saw the cat boss fall to the ground and fall asleep, he happily stuck out his blue-gray tongue. Lillian said in surprise when she saw this scene.
Lillian: "Wow, it turns out that player Chi Haimo's Haunter is a different-colored Pokémon. This is the first time I've seen a different-colored Haunter. Ahem. Well, then, if Cat Boss doesn't wake up, he's going to lose this game."
Lingxi: "Damn it!! Boss Cat, wake up quickly!!"
Chi Haimo: "It's over, Haunter, use Dream Eater!"
After Heimer gave the instructions, Haunter stuck out his tongue happily, and pink smoke kept coming out of the cat boss' body.
After Haunter inhaled the pink smoke, Cat Boss also lost his ability to fight.
When the judges saw this scene, they immediately pressed the battle off button.
Lillian: "Cat Boss battle is off, Haunter wins!"
After hearing the result of the battle, Haunter happily floated to Heimer's side. Heimer saw this and gently stroked Haunter while smiling and whispering to him.
Chi Haimo: "Yeah, you did a great job."
Just as Heimer was gently stroking Haunter, Haunter's eyeballs suddenly popped out, which scared Heimer.
Chi Haimo: "Ah!!! Haunter!!!"
Seeing how frightened Heimer was, Haunter immediately clapped his hands and laughed happily.
After Heimer came to his senses a little, he looked at Haunter and said with a helpless smile.
Chi Haimo: "Really, your love of playing pranks hasn't changed at all."
