Elves: Goal, help Pokémon fulfill their wishes

After the atmosphere of the whole venue was aroused by the club song of the opening ceremony, a host with a Ma-La mask on the left half of his face held up the microphone and announced:

"The seventh 'Best Cat' selection contest is about to begin. Before that, let us welcome the last 'Best Cat' and its trainer to give a few words of advice to this year's contestants..."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the spotlights converged towards the center of the venue, and everyone present couldn't help but look at that spot.

However, a shocking scene occurred. It seemed that something temporary had happened. The focus of the venue was still empty, with neither Pokémon nor people appearing.

The Ma-La Mask host anxiously whispered into the intercom to inquire about the situation. In less than a minute, he put on an awkward but polite smile again and explained to everyone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, but there was a small unexpected situation. We just learned that the last 'Best Cat' Charming Cat evolved into Dong Shi Cat. The little guy couldn't accept the contrast after his evolution and refused to see anyone... So let's skip this part for now and go directly to the first round of the competition!"

After hearing this explanation, some of the audience who came for the "Best Cat" award in the previous competition let out a few sighs. However, the host obviously had a lot of experience in dealing with emergencies. With just a few words, he calmed them down and directed their attention to the next part of the competition.

In the player channel, Liang Yin, who was paying attention to the situation outside the field, was impressed by the Pokémon called Charming Cat - it is generally a well-proportioned individual with an elegant posture, with blue agate eyes that have the power to bewitch people, and the tip of its slender but spring-like tail has a cluster of fluffy gradient fur like a cloud, which is indeed worthy of the name of the race "Charming Cat".

However, when the Charming Cat evolves, it will change from a "graceful and innocent girl" to a "vulgar and ugly middle-aged woman". The evolved Dong Shi Cat, although it has more beautiful fur than cotton wool, its fat and heavy trunk and carrot-shaped limbs are irreversible flaws, and its personality will become more perverse and shameless - it is also worthy of the name "Dong Shi".

"And, if I remember correctly, one of Meowth's lovers in the future is also a Charming Meowth, right?" Liang Yin looked at Meowth who was standing in front of Kojiro and wiping his gold coins. "In order to elope with that Charming Meowth, Meowth even quit the Rocket trio and even obtained the 'limited-time move' Crazy Grab of Love, and fought one against five, killing Musashi's Snake, Ancient Dragonfly, Xiaozhi's Infernape, Mook-Hawk, and Xiaoguang's Togekiss in seconds..."

However, in the end, Kojiro's "Evolution Power" came into play again, allowing Fangclaw to evolve Charming Cat with a seed machine gun.

At this point, Miaomiao’s love affair came to an end. It came as quickly as a tornado and left as quickly as the ebb tide - you are worthy of it, Miaomiao.

"What are you looking at me for, meow?" Meow Meow felt that Liang Yin's gaze was on her, and she turned around and asked with a strange expression.

Liang Yin immediately put on a respectful expression: "Meow meow, your potential is indeed unlimited."

……

The first part, the appearance evaluation which Zeraora called "superficial", began under the attention of the public.

"Contestant number one, Catmon!" The host was obviously very knowledgeable about cat Pokémon. He casually told the information of the participating Pokémon as if he was chatting with his family. "Catmon, a shiny Pokémon with electric attributes. When it moves its body, the contraction and expansion of its muscles will generate electricity. When it senses danger, the hair all over its body will emit a strong light, so it can escape in time before the opponent's eyes have time to adapt."

The little cat monster, who refused to stick its head out of the contestant channel, was carried to the front of the stage by its trainer.

The shy little blue animal covered its face with its front paws, seemingly not used to the spotlight. It whimpered in its throat, and the four-pointed star on its tail swayed, flashing a bright light.

"It has a long tail with a shining star at the end. It will definitely evolve into a majestic Roentgen cat in the future," the male judge wearing a half Roentgen cat mask raised a 9-point card and chuckled. "Let me make it clear first, I am not biased."

"It has a well-proportioned body structure, but is a little thin," the female judge wearing a half-tailed cat mask raised a 7-point card, "Is it usually a picky eater?"

"Her short legs are so cute. Look at the color of her heels. She's still a shy girl." The female judge wearing half a Momoko mask raised an 8-point card.

"Trainer, please move the cat monster's claws away from its face next time. I don't have X-ray vision," the female judge wearing a half-cool leopard mask raised a 6-point card, "This time, for the sake of this child's cute yellow four-pointed star inner ear, I will give him a passing score."

The man wearing half of the cat boss mask and standing in the backlight stared at the little cat monster in the audience for a long time without saying a word, and finally raised a 6-point card.

"Because the Little Cat Monster appeared by being carried up by the trainer, I couldn't see the child's walking posture, so I gave it 3 points." The man wearing half a flaming roaring tiger mask held up a 3-point sign.

"..."

Each judge has his or her own scoring direction, so the numerical gaps among the six scores appear somewhat uneven.

However, the total score of each stage is calculated in the final ranking, so this scoring setting may be intentional by the organizer.

"Contestant No. 9, the total score of Catmonkey is 7+8+6+6+3+39, which equals points. Although the result of the first round is just average, I hope our cute Catmonkey can shine in the second round!" The host of the Magna Mask was very emotional and smoothed things over. He only mentioned the second round and did not mention the third round. "Now, this trainer can take your Pokémon to the lounge to wait."

……

"Xiaojiro, I'm a little nervous, meow. Can you please take a quick look and see if there is any part of my body that I haven't taken care of?" Meow meow circled in front of Xiaojiro.

Kojiro helplessly advised: "Relax, meow meow, you have to believe in yourself. We combed your hair meticulously this morning. Now, you don't just have little gold coins on your head, your whole body is glowing..."

During the conversation, several more contestants went to the lounge. Most of their scores hovered around 40 points.

"Contestant number eight, Cat Boss!"

As the host's voice sounded, in the contestant channel on the other side, a haughty cat boss walked out slowly with an elegant cat step. The ruby ​​embedded in its forehead was like a beauty mole embellished on the brow of a classical beauty, revealing its temperament that can only be admired from a distance but not touched.

However, surprisingly, there was no trainer by its side.

"This contestant is the Pokémon of our judge, 'Cat Boss', so in order to avoid suspicion, his scoring for this round will be temporarily replaced by me, 'Ma-Ma-La'."

Knowing clearly what everyone was wondering about, the host immediately explained.

The man wearing the Cat Boss mask also stood up from his seat, bowed, and sat down again.

"Kojiro, that's the cat boss next to the boss, meow!" Meow Meow was stunned and quickly pulled the corner of Kojiro's pants, "In other words, the judge wearing the cat boss mask is actually the boss, meow!"
