"So among these sixty-four powerful and competitive coordinators, who will be able to advance to the second round of the Grand Battle Review?..."
She pointed toward the big screen.
All of a sudden.
Countless boxes appeared and rotated, and busts came into everyone's sight.
Kashiwagi was sitting at the first seat in the second row, with Xiaoguang sitting above him.
Wow!
There were bursts of excited screams from the audience.
The contestants who successfully advanced to the next round on the stage were smiling, while the contestants who unfortunately failed showed various expressions such as disappointment and sadness.
Vivian added, "Then, we will reshuffle the order of the sixteen contestants and decide on the second review of the battle groupings for the Gorgeous Battle!"
The frame on the screen began to spin again, and faces flashed back and forth before freezing after a few seconds.
"The third group..."
Kashiwagi glanced at his first round opponent——
An unknown male coordination trainer.
Xiaoguang and the others met acquaintances they had met before.
It's a pity that the opponents for each round of large-scale celebrations will be randomly selected after the end of the round, otherwise you can roughly guess who your final opponent will be.
"My beloved disciple, don't be careless and underestimate your enemy just because you are good at fighting, whether you are facing me or someone else."
Lucia's voice sounded beside my ear.
Kashiwagi turned his head and looked at her, whose eyes were full of blazing fighting spirit and who was clearly provoking him with words. He smiled and replied, "Teacher Liu, is this the first time you meet me?"
"You won't be so proud for long!"
Lukia angrily uttered another harsh remark.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Guang also came over to join in the fun, "Hehehe! I'm sure I'll be fine this time! Both of you will be defeated by me! Be prepared!"
She lost to Kashiwagi in the Kaina Tournament and to Rukia in the Mikoli Cup. She is an absolute "loser".
"I am waiting."
Kashiwagi raised his right hand slightly.
"It's agreed!"
Xiaoguang slapped him without hesitation, using a little force as if in revenge.
Snapped!
Lucia's eyes lit up, and she also raised her right hand, "Xiao Guang~"
"Lukia!"
The two girls’ applause was particularly crisp.
They looked at Ulala who seemed to want to say something to Kashiwagi not far away. The latter noticed their gazes and turned his head awkwardly, pretending not to see them.
However, there was no way that Lucia and Xiaoguang could let her go.
"Ulala~"
"Ulala!"
Ulala tried to escape.
Ulala's escape attempt failed.
The second day of the grand celebration——
The first review of the main competition ended in this lively atmosphere.
-
The first day of the magnificent battle.
Everyone arrived at the venue in high spirits.
Kashiwagi once again handed the Different-Colored Gengar to the care of Meiyali, allowing it to watch the gorgeous battle as a spectator.
Last night, Porygon 2 confirmed through Night Talk that this guy's change was indeed due to the performance of Goblin.
However, what impressed the latter was not the performer Big Mouth Wa, but Kashiwagi who was the conductor and collaborator at the edge of the stage.
reason?
The Heterochromatic Gengar himself could not give an accurate answer.
It just feels its heart throbbing with every eye contact and every silent understanding between Kashiwagi and Big Mouth.
Porygon 2 thinks that Gengar is envious... no, longing for this special relationship that builds a bridge of the soul between humans and Pokémon.
Kashiwagi didn't dare to arbitrarily assume that what Porygon2 thought was correct, so he decided to let it sit in the audience and watch for a while, maybe it could get an accurate answer itself.
"Leave it to Hoopa!"
Hoopa saluted with a serious face, always believing that he was the one who really looked after the heterochromatic Gengar.
Mei Yali was clearly just watching from the side.
"Okay, I'll leave that to Hoopa."
Kashiwagi smiled and patted its head.
In the preparation room.
Most of the contestants who advanced to the second review have already arrived and are adjusting their status.
Compared to the spectacular performances scored by the judges, the spectacular battle where victory can be achieved by defeating the opponent has greater uncertainty. This is one of the main reasons why many contestants still hold out hope for victory even though they are in awe of Kashiwagi who scored a full score.
"Welcome to the Hoenn region, the grand Pokémon celebration!"
Vivian on TV is full of energy.
"Today we will be holding the second review of the gorgeous battle, the rules are doubles! Within the limited time of five minutes, use various moves beautifully to reduce the opponent's score, or defeat them in one go, and the final winner will get-"
She pointed to the golden trophy on the platform at the edge of the field and shouted:
"A symbol of honor given by the tournament! The ribbon trophy!"
coax!
There were bursts of booing from the audience.
"Then without further ado, please welcome the first group of contestants to compete in a magnificent match!"
As Vivian finished speaking, busts of the two people appeared on the huge screen, with a disc-shaped score bar below and a five-minute countdown in the middle that attracted attention.
Deng!
Following a short beep, the two coordinator trainers who had already appeared released their Pokémon.
"Go ahead!"
"Come on, everyone!"
Good radio reception equipment ensures that the contestants' instructions are clearly heard by all spectators.
"here we go."
Kashiwagi looked around and clearly felt the change in the atmosphere.
The outcome of the large-scale celebration symbolizes the efforts of all the coordinating trainers present throughout the year. How can they not be nervous? How much strength each opponent will show is an important factor in determining whether they can achieve the final victory.
Just five minutes.
Everyone present was watching very seriously.
The four contestants in the current two rounds decided their winners one by one, and it was Kashiwagi's turn to take the stage.
"Um……"
He turned around, his eyes meeting those who were making various cheering gestures, and looked down at Pogaman who was jumping and flapping his wings, and said, "You will see Big Mouth Baby, remember not to be distracted."
After coming back from the performance yesterday, he was pestered by Pogona for a long time because he didn’t see the Big Mouth Baby he was missing.
"Bo-boo?"
The little penguin tilted his head in confusion.
But Kashiwagi had already turned and walked into the contestant channel.
After a while.
He appeared on TV, enjoying the cheers of thousands of viewers and facing his opponent.
"Boo..."
Pogamon jumped onto Xiaoguang's shoulder, staring at the TV screen with his big black eyes without blinking.
It still remembers that reminder.
-
In the battle stage.
Players from both sides take their respective positions.
Vivian's voice echoed in the field.
"Second review, first round, third round! Begin!"
Deng!
Clear reminder sound.
The countdown on the big screen began to move.
Kashiwagi and his opponent looked at each other, and threw the Poké Ball forward at the same time!
Boom!
Countless pink petals spiraled and fell to the ground in the pink light, and the middle part emitted white light to form the outer outline of Goblin and Happiny.
Wait for the pink light to dissipate.
