Chapter 307: The First Extremely Dangerous Review (Colorful and Special Lights)
After the girl named Zhang Xiaohong successfully won the first full score in this competition, the pressure on everyone backstage suddenly increased.
Just after Zhang Xiaohong took back the little fire horse and left the stage, contestant number two also walked to the indicated place on the stage under the guidance of the small light.
After that, it was a series of mistakes, mistakes, and mistakes. . .
For some reason, except for Zhang Xiaohong and Ponyta, the Pokémon of the subsequent contestants all made various mistakes during their performances.
For example, because they forgot that this was a stage without lights, the moves used in the performance design were completely unable to emit any light, so the audience and judges were completely unable to see the Pokémon's performance.
Another example is that the light was so bright that the audience and judges couldn't open their eyes. Even worse, when the Pokémon was performing, the moves it used emitted such a bright light that it ended up dazzling the Pokémon itself, thus interrupting the performance.
The contestants who appeared after Zhang Xiaohong made various mistakes one after another, and the judges' faces became increasingly unsightly.
Seeing this from the backstage, Haimo and Xianglan felt a lot less pressure. Maybe it's because... too many people made mistakes, hahahaha.
After contestant number 20 finished his performance, it was Xianglan's turn to perform.
Lillian: "Then, let's welcome contestant No. 21, Xianglan, and invite her and her Pokémon to give us a wonderful performance!!! Here we go!!!"
Perhaps because of too many poor performances by contestants, the enthusiasm of the audience and judges has now dropped to the lowest point.
At this moment, Xianglan, guided by the small lamp, slowly walked to the designated position on the stage while holding up her long skirt. Then, she gracefully took the Pokémon Ball and threw it out immediately.
Xianglan: "Win with grace, Charizard!!"
When the white light faded, the first thing the audience saw was the scorching flame on Charizard's tail. Unlike the flame on Charizard's mane, the area illuminated by the flame on Charizard's tail was really too small.
Xianglan: "Please, Charizard, use Smoke Screen!"
Billowing black smoke slowly emerged from the mouth of the fire-breathing dragon, soon enveloping the entire stage, and this made the already weak flames suddenly even weaker.
When the judges saw this scene, their disappointment was immediately evident in their words. The audience also gradually lost their patience and started talking to each other.
Xianglan: "Use Hot Air and then use Will-O-Wisp!"
Charizard flapped its wings gently, and the warm breeze kissed the black smoke that filled the sky. In an instant, like a warm hug, the black smoke swirled along the trajectory of the hot wind and spread around Charizard.
At the same time, the flames from the fire-breathing dragon's tail dispersed into several ghost fires, which also danced with the hot wind. When they touched the black smoke, they turned into blue sparks and flowed on the surface of the black smoke.
At this moment, as the Charizard's tail danced, the light of the tail flame and the light of the blue Mars cooperated with each other, gradually outlining the outline of the black smoke.
In an instant, the black smoke swaying in the wind around the Charizard was like a piece of faintly visible black satin. The smoothness and light softness of the surface were displayed to the fullest with the coordination of the two kinds of fire.
When Xianglan and Charizard's performance reached this point, Heimer, who was watching it all backstage, couldn't help but sweat, because Xianglan chose the most dangerous way of performance on this special stage, so Heimer was very worried about her.
The theme of the performance is black smoke, which easily blends into the darkness, and the charm of the fire-breathing dragon is shown through the outline of the black smoke.
This method is difficult because, if the fire is too bright, the black smoke will become a nuisance, but if the fire is too dim, the audience will not be able to see any of the performance.
(Please, please... you must succeed.)
At this moment, the light of the tail flame became more and more obvious, which meant that the black smoke surrounding the Charizard was about to dissipate.
Xianglan: "Success or failure depends on this move, Charizard, start!"
The curtain made of black smoke was ready, and Charizard projected various shadow outlines onto the black smoke surrounding it by moving its tail, hands, feet, and wings.
In an instant, the shadow of a giant dragon was projected onto the hot black smoke. Its powerful wings and thick tail, sharp fangs and claws, illuminated by the flame of the fire-breathing dragon's tail, were all clearly projected onto the curtain created by smoke, hot wind and will-o'-the-wisp.
The audience and judges all showed very surprised expressions when they saw this scene.
Xianglan: "Let's finish it off, Charizard, use Explosive Flame!!"
With a huge roar from the Charizard, just like the last scene in a movie, a bright flame shot straight into the sky. With a series of explosions, the black smoke dissipated, and the shadow of the dragon fell.
This marks the end of Xianglan and Charizard's performance.
After a round of applause, Xianglan and Charizard's scores immediately appeared on the big screen. Like Zhang Xiaohong, they also got a full score of 30 points.
It was not surprising that Xianglan and Charizard received full marks for their unexpected performance style, completeness and difficulty.
At this moment, Frandy and Changan in the audience jumped for joy when they saw Xianglan and Charizard got full marks.
And in the backstage, Heimer immediately smiled happily after seeing Xianglan and Charizard's full marks.
Although he was very happy to see his best friend pass the first screening safely, Heimer soon stopped smiling because it was his turn to go on stage.
After Xianglan took back Charizard and stepped down, it was Heimer's turn to take the stage next.
Guided by the small light, Heimer slowly walked to the designated position on the stage.
(Calm down, calm down, Heimer, it will be fine.)
Lillian: "Then, next, please welcome contestant Chi Haimo, number 22! Please invite him and his Pokémon to give us a wonderful performance! Here we go! ! ! "
As soon as Lillian finished speaking, Heimer immediately took out the Poké Ball in his pocket.
Chi Haimo: "Let the thunder resound throughout the world!! Go!! Pikachu!!!"
As soon as the Pokémon Ball landed, white light instantly bloomed in the mirrors on the stage. Pikachu jumped out of the Pokémon Ball, stood in the center of the stage with a cool look on his face, and electricity was pulsating all over his body.
And under the illumination of the electric light, Pikachu looked very tough to deal with.
Chi Haimo: “First, the electrical venue.”
Pikachu was spinning handsomely on the mirror-covered stage. The yellow electric light quickly spread across the mirrors like a crack. In an instant, the electric light was flowing and flashing in front of every mirror.
Chi Haimo: "Next is 100,000 volts!"
Pikachu collides his fists together and a bright bolt of lightning grows from it, extending along the 100,000-volt branches to the front of each mirror. After being repeatedly refracted by the mirrors, the bright yellow lightning turns into colorful dust that scatters on Pikachu's body.
Pikachu controlled the electric current to make his fur explode instantly, and in an instant, a delicate yellow ball of fur appeared quietly.
Chi Haimo: "Well, get ready, Pikachu, Crazy Volt!"
The overbearing electric current quickly gathered on Pikachu's body. With a bang, like a puff covered with powdered sugar, Pikachu spun wildly on the electrical field with crazy volts.
Before long, the light in the electrical field began to dim little by little, accompanied by crackling sounds.
As Pikachu spins, the electric current in the electrical field flows through Pikachu's fluffy hair layer by layer like delicious cream.
This makes Pikachu look like a delicious "lightning puff".
When Pikachu's fur exploded and his round, furry body absorbed all the current on the electrical field, at that moment, he not only became a true "lightning puff", but also the most dazzling existence on this dark stage.
The electric current repeatedly flowed through every one of Pikachu's blown-up hairs, and the dazzling electric light was repeatedly refracted by the mirror, and finally all fell on Pikachu's body.
When the lightning fell, Pikachu's extremely unhappy expression was particularly clear in the darkness due to the yellow light.
Pikachu's unhappy expression coupled with his furry body that looks so nice to touch made the audience exclaim in adorableness, and the judges also praised him repeatedly.
When Helmer saw Pikachu's expression, he was very worried that Pikachu would get mad on the spot. After all, Pikachu was very resistant to this performance at that time.
At that time, Pikachu was willing to go on stage only after being tempted by a sandbag and super expensive boxing gloves.
At this moment, Heimer prayed silently, hoping that Pikachu would not get angry. Pikachu looked back at Heimer who was praying, sighed helplessly, raised his hand and snapped his fingers handsomely.
In an instant, the electricity in Pikachu's body dissipated instantly after the crisp snap of fingers, and the stage returned to darkness again.
At this point, the performance of Heimer and Pikachu was completely over. After a discussion, the judges also gave a full score of 30 points.
Heimer felt relieved when he saw this. After Pikachu walked to him, he happily expressed his gratitude to Pikachu.
Chi Haimo: "Pikachu, thank you."
Pikachu: "Pikachu."
When Pikachu heard what Heimer said, he turned his head away. It seemed that he really hated this performance of cute charm.
Seeing this, Heimer didn't say much. He just took out the Poké Ball and said to Pikachu.
Chi Haimo: "Yeah, by the way, you looked really handsome when you snapped your fingers just now."
When Pikachu heard what Heimer said, he laughed secretly with a little joy, but immediately because Heimer was around, he immediately returned to his usual cool expression.
Afterwards, when the last contestant finished his performance, the list of the second review appeared on the big screen not long after.
Zhang Xiaohong, Hai Mo and Xiang Lan all successfully advanced to the second review.
Now, the real battle is about to begin...
