Chapter 306: The Confrontation in Linglong Tower (Pitch Black Stage)

Early in the morning, Heimer lay in bed, rubbed his eyes gently and patted his cheeks, hoping that this would make him a little more awake.

However, the sleepiness was like a piece of chewing gum that could not be shaken off at all, so Heimer decided to go to the bathroom to wash his face and wake up.

He did what he said. Heimer jumped off the bed and went to the bathroom.

Just as Heimer opened the bathroom door, someone suddenly knocked on it.

Hearing the voice, Heimer scratched his head in confusion.

(You're here so early... There are still two hours until the agreed time.)

Because he had agreed with everyone to have breakfast together in the morning, Heimer opened the door without thinking.

At this moment, the moment the door opened, a tall figure appeared in front of Heimer.

Because Heimer was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, he asked the person standing at the door directly in confusion.

Chi Haimo: "Hmm... Is it Changan?"

Winter: “No.”

As soon as the strange voice came out, Heimer's sleepiness was scared away. He slowly raised his head and found that the person standing in front of him was a stranger.

Chi Haimo: "Um... may I ask who you are..."

When Lin Dong heard Heimer's question, he bowed politely to him and spoke softly.

Winter: "My name is Winter, and I am Aquarius of Xinggongzhui."

As soon as he heard Xinggong Zhui, Heimer immediately stepped back and took out the Poké Ball, ready to fight.

Chi Haimo: "Hmm... I didn't expect to experience a fierce battle so early in the morning."

Seeing Heimer's vigilant look, Lin Dong sighed helplessly, walked into the room, turned around, closed the door and said.

Winter: "I'm here to negotiate with you."

Chi Haimo: "Hmm...ah?"

Winter: "Don't get me wrong, I'm different from those rude colleagues. Well, tell me how much money you want before you are willing to cooperate with us."

Although the Xinggongzhui member in front of him was unusually polite, Heimer still did not let his guard down.

Chi Haimo: "No need, no matter how much money you give me, I won't betray Darkrai. Please, Psyduck, use telekinesis."

After Heimer finished speaking, he immediately threw out the Poké Ball. There was a flash of white light, and Psyduck jumped out of the Poké Ball with his head in his hands, confused.

Psyduck: "Psyduck."

For some reason, Psyduck did not use telekinesis on Winter.

So, Winter and Psyduck looked at each other in silence for a long time. Finally, Winter took the lead and squatted down gently and stretched out his hand to speak to Psyduck.

Winter: "Hello."

In response to Winter's greeting, Psyduck reached out and shook his hand as a polite gesture.

Psyduck: "Psyduck."

When Heimer saw this delicate scene, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

(Ah, this... well, but since Psyduck did not choose to use telekinesis, it means that after thinking about it, he felt that the man in front of him named Winter had no ill intentions.)

So, based on Psyduck's judgment, Heimer decided to have a good talk with Winter.

At this moment, after taking back Psyduck, Heimer did not take out any other Pokémon.

Winter: "Well, then, let's sit down and have a good chat."

After saying this, Winter walked towards a chair in the room. Seeing this, Heimer immediately spoke.

Chi Haimo: "Sorry, I have an appointment soon, so I don't have time. Anyway, no matter what your purpose is, I will not let you hurt Darkrai."

At this time, Winter sat down and spoke gently to Heimer.

Winter: "Well, our goal is not to harm Clay."

Chi Haimo: "I'm afraid your words are not convincing. Weren't the injuries on Darkrai caused by people from your organization?"

Facing Heimer's question, Lin Dong did not hide anything at all. He just sat down, looked up at Heimer coldly and said.

Winter: "Yes, I don't deny it, but what I just said is also true. Our goal is not to harm Daklai."

Chi Haimo: "Um... Sorry, I didn't understand."

Hearing what Heimer said, Lindong scratched his head helplessly and then patiently explained to Heimer.

Winter: "It was the means used by my colleagues that hurt Darkrai, not our purpose."

Chi Haimo: "Well, then, what is your purpose?"

When faced with Heimer's questions, Winter was like an emotionless intelligent assistant, and told him the answers directly without any hesitation.

Winter: "Use the power of Darkrai and Cresselia to find a way to summon Dialga and Palkia. Well, of course, our main target is Palkia, who is known as the God of Space."

When Heimer saw that Lindong's answer was so frank, a feeling of uneasiness instantly crept into his heart.

(Hmm... Could it be that he wanted to hit me directly after this conversation?! That's why he answered the questions so recklessly?)

Feeling a little scared, Heimer immediately grabbed Blastoise's Poké Ball in his hand.

Chi Haimo: "Well... I thought you wouldn't answer my question."

Lin Dong looked at Heimer's nervous expression and said with a helpless smile.

Winter: "Because this is not secret information. Most people in the entire Sinnoh region know this, as long as they are willing to look it up."

Chi Haimo: "Ah... like this."

Seeing that Heimer seemed to be shaken, Winter immediately continued.

Winter: "So, as long as you can convince Darkrai and help us find a way to summon him, then we can give up on capturing him."

Although Winter's words were very complete, Heimer did not agree to him directly because he did not understand what Xinggong Zhui wanted to do with Palkia's power.

Moreover, this matter must be chosen by Darkrai.

So, Heimer shook his head directly at Winter and said.

Chi Haimo: "Sorry, I can't decide this matter for the time being."

Winter: "Well... then."

Just as Lin Dong was about to say something else, Heimer's pocket navigator suddenly rang.

Chi Haimo: "Ah, sorry, please wait a moment."

Just as Heimer picked up the phone, Lindong looked at his watch, thought about it, and decided to leave first.

Winter: "Well... then, let's talk next time."

After saying this, Lin Dong stood up, put the business card in his pocket on the table and spoke gently.

Winter: "Well, goodbye."

After Lin Dong left the room, Heimer hung up the phone and looked at the business card in confusion.

I thought there would be something written on the business card, but I didn't expect that there was nothing on it except an Aquarius constellation pattern.

(Hmm... Never mind. Let's go meet up with everyone first and then report to Miss Junsha later.)

Afterwards, Heimer changed his clothes and had breakfast with everyone, then went to the venue of the Linglong Conference - Linglong Tower.

The stage chosen for this Linglong Conference can be said to be very special. It is a stage paved with mirrors. Not only the ground is made of mirrors, but the surroundings are also surrounded by suspended mirrors.

In addition, there is a special condition for this stage, that is, there is no light.

This means that no matter what kind of performance the contestant is going to perform, there must be light in the moves he chooses.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to score on that pitch-black stage.

At this moment, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Heimer and Xianglan had arrived backstage early after lunch. Now the two of them were going through the scheduled performance process over and over again in the backstage room.

Frandy and Chang'an were already sitting in the audience, waiting for Xianglan and Heimer to appear.

Time passed quickly. After the first review of the Linglong Conference officially began, Lillian, wearing a sportswear that glowed in the dark, handsomely descended from mid-air while hanging on a wire.

Lillian stood on the mirror platform suspended in the air, holding the microphone and shouting to the audience in a handsome manner.

Lillian: "Dear audience!!! The long-awaited first review of the Pokémon Grand Contest Linglong Conference is about to begin!!! Let me hear your voice!!!"

Audience: “Yeah!!!”

Facing the enthusiasm of the audience, Lillian shouted excitedly.

Lillian: "Okay!!! Next, let's welcome contestant number one, Zhang Xiaohong!!! Here we go!!!"

As soon as Lillian finished speaking, colorful lights suddenly lit up one after another on the road leading to the stage.

Zhang Xiaohong is a girl wearing a floral dress and two pigtails. Under the guidance of a small light, Zhang Xiaohong successfully reached the designated location on the stage. She took a deep breath and took out the Poké Ball from her pocket.

Zhang Xiaohong: "It's up to you, little fire horse!"

As soon as Zhang Xiaohong's Poké Ball landed on the ground, a dazzling white light instantly spread across the dark stage.

The white light dissipated, and after the little flaming horse jumped out of the Pokémon Ball, it tried its best to make its flaming mane emit a stronger flame.

And under the reflection of the mirror on the stage, the dazzling light of the fire scattered to every corner of the audience.

Although the little fire horse has not used any moves yet, the beautiful firelight has already made the audience in the audience applaud continuously.

Backstage, Heimer and Xianglan saw this scene and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Xianglan: “That’s amazing.”

Chi Haimo: "Um... yes."

At this moment, the little fire horse was happily shaking his mane on the stage, and the light of the flame kept changing with his movements.

On the dark stage, the light emitted by the flaming mane outlined the contours of the little fire horse's body and flickered, making people unable to take their eyes off.

Zhang Xiaohong: "Use Flame Vortex!"

A bright flame drew a circle around the little fire horse and instantly spun into the air. In an instant, like Doflamingo's dance, the skirt of the vortex of flames instantly spread out, and the gentle orange-red flames danced on the mirror like waves.

The orange-red sea of ​​light was beautifully reflected on every mirror on the stage. The splendid yet not extravagant performance caused the judges on the scene to nod their heads repeatedly.

Zhang Xiaohong: "Next, use Fiery Abyss!"

The little fire horse raised his head high, and saw that the flames in the vortex of fire on the stage seemed to be summoned by something and instantly gathered into a small ball of light above the little fire horse's head. In an instant, the ball of light became bigger and brighter.

Finally, the little fire horse kicked its legs, and the ball of flames turned into a dazzling fire peony, blooming with its own orange color and its selves in various mirror worlds.

And when the flames faded and the peonies withered, the stage turned dark again.

At this point, Zhang Xiaohong and Xiaohuoma's performance came to an end.

There was constant applause at the scene, and the judges gave a full score of 30 points.

It seemed that because she had never received such a high score before, Zhang Xiaohong rushed over excitedly and hugged the little fire horse after seeing the score given by the judges.

Zhang Xiaohong: "You did a great job. You made me proud, little fire horse."
