Chapter 324: Large-scale celebration, 64 to 16 (multiple methods, strict scoring)
Early in the morning, Heimer woke up from bed tiredly. It was really a tiring thing to wait until the end in the backstage room of the first stage.
However, being the last one to perform did have some advantages. After watching so many contestants' performances, Heimer already knew what score his performance would get when the moth flapped its wings on the stage.
In yesterday's performance, the love of the moth for plants was fully demonstrated through the ultimate absorption. How many times did the moth see the delicate green leaf patterns before it could use the ultimate absorption to depict them so clearly...
At this moment, the first review of the official competition, the 64 to 16 match is about to begin.
There is only one stage for this performance, and this time, the contestants can use multiple moves to perform.
At this time, Lillian had already started her hosting in the center of the stage.
On the other side, Musashi Ling'er was also backstage, ready to conduct post-match interviews with the contestants after their performances.
And now, Zhang Xiaohong slowly walked onto the stage amid the cheers of the audience.
Zhang Xiaohong: "I'm counting on you, little Rada."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Xiaohong threw the Poké Ball in her hand. In an instant, the white light dissipated, and Rattata came out of the Poké Ball and landed lightly on the stage.
Zhang Xiaohong: "Use Shadow Ball and then use 100,000 Volts!"
Hearing Zhang Xiaohong's instructions, shadows quickly gathered in front of Rada, and then, with a bang, the shadow ball was launched neatly into the air mid-stage.
At this moment, 100,000 volts spread from Rattata's body. In an instant, the Shadow Ball and 100,000 volts collided with each other, and beautiful fireworks bloomed in the sky one after another.
Zhang Xiaohong: "Next, jump up and use Freeze Beam on the stage, then use Angry Fangs!"
After receiving Zhang Xiaohong's instruction, Little Rada jumped up swiftly. Then, when he jumped into the air, a cold ice light immediately shot out from his mouth towards the center of the stage. In the blink of an eye, a huge piece of ice appeared in front of the audience.
Afterwards, Rada opened its mouth and fell from mid-air, biting the ice with its angry front teeth. After a moment, as the ice chips scattered, a huge ice sculpture of Rada suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Lillian: "Well, it's really smooth. After letting everyone enjoy the fireworks, let everyone enjoy the ice sculpture art of Rattata. The basic display method successfully shows the charm of Rattata's moves."
At this point, Zhang Xiaohong and Xiao Lada's performance ended. After discussion, the judges finally gave a score of 79 points.
For some reason, after Zhang Xiaohong finished her performance, the scores of the contestants who came on stage later did not exceed 70 points. . .
At this moment, everyone backstage started to get nervous when they saw this scene.
Because everyone originally thought that it would be easier to get high scores in a stage where multiple moves can be used, but what everyone didn’t expect was that the current scores were far worse than those in the preliminaries. . .
At this time, when many people were confused, Heimer and Chang'an smiled at each other, and then the two of them continued to prepare to go on stage with Frandy and Xianglan.
In fact, very restrictive rules are actually a good thing for all the participants.
For example, suppose you are participating in a cooking competition and the rules limit you to making only fried eggs, then any unexpectedness may help you get a high score.
After all, because of the restrictions of the rules, what you serve must be just a plate of fried eggs. So, in this case, the judges will not have too many expectations, because what comes out must be a plate of fried eggs.
Well, if at this time, you can show something that surprises the judges on the fried eggs, for example, changing the color of the eggs, or changing the taste of the eggs, you are likely to get high scores.
Therefore, the average score of the preliminary rounds was so high. Because the one-trick rule made the judges' expectations become just a plate of fried eggs, so the judges' scoring standards in the preliminary rounds were so low.
In addition, correspondingly, after the rules are completely relaxed, the standards of the judges will also become higher.
This means that allowing people to use multiple moves to perform may not necessarily be a good thing, because it raises the expectations of the judges, and the judges' judgments will become stricter.
As Heimer, Frandi, Chang'an and Xianglan had guessed this before the preliminaries began, the four of them did not react too much when faced with such a strict first review of the official competition.
Of course, those who had anticipated this were not only Heimer and Changan, but also Frandy and Xianglan.
At this moment, after Zhang Xiaohong stepped down from the stage, Harry slowly walked onto the stage while blowing kisses to the audience.
Lillian: "Next up is the green man, contestant Harry!"
At this time, after Lillian finished speaking, the scene changed, and Harry had taken out his Poké Ball.
Harry: "Go ahead, my cold little badass, Octopus Bucket!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Harry immediately threw the Poké Ball in his pocket. In an instant, there was a flash of white light, and the Octopus Barrel waved his tentacles and landed lightly in the center of the stage.
Harry: "Octopus Barrel, use Big Word Explosion!"
Hearing Harry's instructions, flames spread out from the mouth of the octopus barrel like a bright hibiscus flower. Then, at the moment when the big word exploded and fell to the ground, the air on the stage began to distort due to the high temperature emitted by the flames.
After that, the octopus bucket actually jumped directly into the flames and began to dance leisurely. In an instant, the swaying flames illuminated the outline of the octopus bucket, and the flames began to dance regularly as the octopus bucket's arms swayed.
On the other side, Harry also started dancing with the octopus barrel.
Harry: "Hahaha, how about it, this is our big character explosion dance."
At this moment, Heimer, who was watching this performance backstage, couldn't help but drool.
(It looks like grilled octopus. Hmm... I'm so hungry... I really want to eat takoyaki. Hmm, by the way, are there takoyaki in this world?)
Lillian: "Wow, because of the water attribute, Octopus can dance in the fire without a care in the world. The light of the flames matches the red skin of Octopus perfectly, and the charm of Octopus is fully displayed."
As soon as the words were spoken, the flames dissipated and the dance of the octopus barrel ended.
At this point, Harry and the Octopus Bucket's performance ended, and the judges gave it a score of 82 after discussion.
Lillian: "Wow!!! Harry and Octopus Bucket actually got a high score of 82!!! Currently ranked first!! And Harry is the only contestant with a score over 80 points!!"
At this time, the whole audience burst into warm applause, and seeing this, Harry blew kisses to the audience even more vigorously.
At this time, shortly after Harry stepped down from the stage, Xiao Shun slowly walked onto the stage holding a Poké Ball.
Xiao Shun: "Absol, go!"
In an instant, the white light dissipated, and Absol appeared handsomely in the center of the stage. Then, under the sunlight, Absol's snow-white hair looked flawless.
Shun: "Absol, use Flash and then Water Wave!"
After hearing Xiao Shun's instructions, several rays of light instantly spread out. In the blink of an eye, the pure white hair on Absol's body seemed to be wrapped in moonlight, and each strand looked shiny.
Afterwards, waves of water hit the ground, and crystal waves rose up around Absol to form a transparent water curtain.
Then, the light from Absol illuminated the flowing lines in the water. In an instant, it was as if one was looking at the sky underwater. The delicate white light penetrated the water curtain, reflecting everything flowing in the water on every corner of the stage.
Xiao Shun: "Next, use the Whirlwind Blade."
At this moment, as soon as Xiao Shun finished speaking, the breeze instantly condensed in front of Absol. At this time, the rising water also began to sway lightly in the wind around Absol.
A moment later, several light wind blades came out and shattered the water curtain formed by the water waves. In an instant, like a light rain, water drops fell and gently poured on Absol's body.
At this point, Shun and Absol's performance ended, but for some reason, Shun did not look satisfied.
Lillian: "Okay, then, let's take a look. Shun and Absol's scores are... 96 points!!! The first player to score over points has appeared!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.
At this time, after watching Absol's performance backstage, Heimer suddenly felt sad. . .
Actually, this performance design of Absol... Well, it was used by Xiao Shun in the Chenxiang Conference before...
Although Xiao Shun changed the focus of this performance a lot, when Hai Mo saw this performance, he could still remember the time when he and Xiao Shun attended the Chenxiang Conference together. . .
(Hmm, Shun... It seems that I really... really loved you at that time in the past... Hmm, so now when I think of that time, I feel so sad...)
At this time, not long after Xiao Shun left the stage, Xiao Yao walked onto the stage holding a Pokémon Ball. It seemed that she would be the next performer.
Xiaoyao: "Snorlax, Sunshine Flame."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoyao's Poké Ball fell to the ground, the white light dissipated, and Snorlax handsomely appeared on the stage from the Poké Ball.
Afterwards, the sunlight quickly gathered into a ball in front of Snorlax. In an instant, as the ball of light grew larger, Snorlax's body became smaller and smaller in comparison.
Xiaoyao: "Right now, Chi Fist!"
After hearing Xiaoyao's instructions, Snorlax immediately launched a ball of light condensed from sunlight and flames into the air. This scene looked like a small sun gradually rising.
After that, Snorlax jumped up flexibly, and the power quickly gathered in his right hand.
At this moment, in the blink of an eye, the Qi fist hit the sunlight and flames heavily.
Then, a bell sound like the sound of nature resounded throughout the entire stage. In an instant, the sunlight and flames dispersed into white glowing powder, like stars in a sunny sky, lightly falling onto the stage.
The judges praised the performance of using voice to show charm, and after Xiaoyao and Snorlax's performance, a score of 92 appeared on the big screen.
This scene drew loud cheers from the audience. After all, in this very strict scoring system, the second score above 90 points is extremely rare.
