Pokémon: The Journey of Bonds

The Darkling was torturing Swampert at its high speed under the rain. Although Swampert was also very fast, it still lagged behind the speed of the Darkling. It was not until the rain ended and Swampert was badly injured that he finally found an opportunity to use Slam Dunk to kill the Darkling. Wu Yao sent out Greninja and then used Grass Knot. Swampert used Freeze Punch but was tripped by Grass Knot and fell to the ground, losing his ability to fight. The opponent gave Wu Yao the Water Badge.

Wu Yao returned home. His journey to the Kingdom of Chicken was over. All Wu Yao needed was the badge of the Kingdom of Tundra Bear. At this time, Wu Yao received a text message: How long has it been since we confirmed our relationship and have not been in touch?

"I'm sorry, Han Ye, I've been too busy recently..."

"Hmph, I have a performance tomorrow. This is my most important test, and it determines whether I can win first place in the gorgeous competition and successfully enter. I hope you can come and watch. I have already booked a VIP ticket for you!"

Wu Yao smiled and replied: "I will definitely go. I also have something to tell you."

The next day, Wu Yao came to the entrance of the theater where Han Ye was. With the VIP ticket, he came to the front row. After Wu Yao sat down, he looked at his mobile phone. Han Ye sent him the performance sequence. The performances in front were all performed by other people, and Han Ye's performance was the main attraction. She showed Wu Yao the schedule. The overall process was to first perform a gorgeous show with his own Pokémon, and then be scored by three judges with a full score of 50. The final score of the contestant was determined by adding up the scores of the three judges and taking an average score. Then the contestant entered the Pokémon battle session, and then the audience would score. Defeating the opponent would get +20 points, and the audience could give 30 points. Finally, the average score of 1000 audience members was calculated, and the person with the highest score would be able to go around the world to perform, get a brand new ribbon badge, and become a global star.

Wu Yao just sat in the VIP seat and watched the glamour contest. He didn't particularly like glamour contests, so he wasn't interested at all. He just scrolled through his phone while watching the performances on stage.

The first person brought Graceful Cat to the stage to perform. She first let Graceful Cat use Shadow Clone, and then Shadow Clone used 25 Volts. Graceful Cat had normal skin, and her 35 Volts carried normal energy. When it exploded in the sky, it produced a lot of debris. Then she and Graceful Cat danced among the debris, and dozens of Pokémon danced together. At the end of the performance, they bowed. Wu Yao felt that he could give it 37 points. It was indeed very good-looking, but it was not amazing. The judges on the stage discussed for a while, and they didn't seem to be very satisfied with the performance. In the end, they gave 33, 35, and 42, and the final average score was 77 points. The audience below gave relatively high scores, and finally got points, and the performer got points.

The performers behind also came on stage one after another. Wu Yao found those boring and didn't want to watch them, so he just checked his phone.

At this time in the backstage, a man was pestering Han Ye.

"I like you, Han Ye, please come with me! I can be your agent! My family is powerful, and I can guarantee you wealth and glory as long as you become my girlfriend! Although my family is not as powerful as the four major families, it is second only to the four major families. They are the head of the Zhang family, and we separated from them a long time ago. As long as you promise me, we will have a great life."

"Zhang Lingyun! I told you I don't know you well, and I have a boyfriend! I don't need a so-called agent! Don't even think about it!"

"Is your boyfriend as good as me? And I know your secret! You are a member of the Abyss Team and participated in the finals, but the higher-ups used your father to protect you at a certain price! Now your father is gone, if I expose your affairs to others, I'll see if the higher-ups will protect you! Your career in the gorgeous competition is over!"

"Stop talking nonsense! I'm not someone you can easily control!"

Han Ye turned around and left. Zhang Lingyun wanted to hold her back, but Han Ye struggled hard to free herself. He was angry and wanted to catch Han Ye. The Lizard King jumped out of the Poké Ball and put his arm blade on Zhang Lingyun's neck. Zhang Lingyun was so scared that she dared not move.

Seeing that Zhang Lingyun was so scared that he peed his pants, the Lizard King looked at him with disdain, turned around and left, following Han Ye onto the stage.

Zhang Lingyun, who was frightened to death, recovered and looked at Han Ye's back with resentment. Then he took out his phone and contacted someone.

"Is it Uncle Li Zhengwan? What? Li Zhengwan is missing? Damn it, why did he disappear at this time? What? Can you introduce Uncle Li Zhengwan's superior? That would be great!"

At this time, Han Ye went on stage to perform. Wu Yao instantly perked up, put down his mobile phone, and began to concentrate on watching Han Ye's performance. She was dressed extremely gorgeously today, wearing a green dress to dress herself up as an elf in a western fantasy work, and then began to dance. At this time, the Lizard King used seed bombs to fly around, and then used the Flying Leaf Storm to cut all the seed bombs, and used grass fireworks to explode around to embellish Han Ye. Then the Lizard King used crazy plants to lift Han Ye up for aerial performances. Han Ye's elf costume came with a pair of decorative wings. Under the help of the Lizard King, she seemed to be flying like an elf.

The judges were also very happy and they seemed to appreciate Han Ye's performance very much.

Soon Han Ye's performance was over. The judges gave high scores of 48, 46, and 47, averaging 47 points, which was 3 points away from full marks. Han Ye was also very happy, and Wu Yao applauded for her from the audience. When it came to scoring, Wu Yao directly gave a full score of 30 points. In the end, the audience's cumulative score was 28.8 points, which was only 1.2 points away from full marks. The last game was a battle session of the gorgeous competition. Whoever could be both gorgeous and win in the doubles match would win 30 points.

Now Wu Yao was sure that Han Ye had won. How could he lose to others as one of the top four in the National Pokémon Contest? Just as Wu Yao had expected, Han Ye easily defeated the other players. He defeated his opponent's Gem Starfish with a Leaf Storm, and at the same time, Crazy Plant also held those Pokémon accountable. Their battle awareness was also very different.

Just as Han Ye was about to give his acceptance speech, Zhang Lingyun rushed in and said to Han Ye on the stage: "She is from the Abyss Team! You can't give the championship to her!"

Wu Yao looked at Zhang Lingyun very angrily. His girlfriend was going to win the championship, so why was this idiot coming out to mess things up? The judges who were presenting the championship trophies on the stage were also stunned. Wu Yao made a phone call. It was a competition of backstage, right? Let's see who can win!
