Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

After the two returned to their rooms to rest, it was soon time for the first review.

The host was still Lillian, but the judges changed from the three Miss Joys yesterday to Mr. Sukisawa, Mr. Kangkenstein, Miss Joy from Yuhong City, and Vivian.

The competition from 64 to 16 is much stricter than the preliminaries. Liliai also put a beautiful wreath on Meimei today.

The number she drew today was 8, which meant she was one of the first to go on stage, which put a lot of psychological pressure on her.

The first few contestants were obviously much stronger than those in the preliminaries. One big sister who used Gardevoir received loud cheers from the audience.

Soon it was Lilia's turn.

He patted his chest and took a few deep breaths. "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous! I can do it!"

"Meimei, come out!" The Poké Ball was thrown into the air and opened, bursting out a ball of colorful powder.

"Ba Na~" Meimei rushed out from the powder, turned around a few times and landed on the ground. She lifted the corner of her skirt with her little hand and saluted to the judges and the audience.

"so beautiful!"

“Beautiful flowers are so cute!”

As soon as the performance started, Meilihua aroused cheers from the audience.

"Next, use Butterfly Dance in conjunction with Magic Flash!"

Meimei's body glowed brilliantly as she began to dance.

"Petal Dance!"

Grass energy blew across the field, and the petals rolled up powder and fluttered around the beautiful flower. Combined with the shining light of magic, the beautiful flower looked as mysterious as an elf.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Beautiful flower, beautiful flower!!"

The audience cheered even louder, and the judges watched the beautiful performance and kept communicating with each other.

Finally, with the power of the moon, Beautiful Flower ended the performance.

-

"How's it going, Ayu? My performance... is alright, right..."

Lilia was really nervous this time.

"You played really well today! This is the first time I've seen such a gorgeous teamwork!" Zhang Yu was speaking the truth. He didn't expect that a combination of several skills could have such a beautiful effect.

After receiving the affirmation, Liliai felt a little better and watched the next performance with Zhang Yu.

Because these contestants have been screened and no one's performance was particularly bad, the result of the first review is difficult to judge.

After the judges discussed for a long time, the host finally announced the results.

"The training for advancing to the top 16 this time is..."

"Please, please! I hope I can pass!" Liliai's clenched hands turned pale as she listened carefully to the host's announcement.

"...Liliai, Aling!"

"These are the trainers who have entered the top 16! Let's cheer for them!"

"yeah!!!"

Liliai and the audience around her cheered at the same time.

Zhang Yu also applauded her vigorously.

"Congratulations! Liliae, you've made it to the top 16!!"

"So happy!! Wuuwuwu..." Unexpectedly, Liliai started crying while laughing.

"Eh? Why are you crying again?" Zhang Yu was a little confused and didn't know what to do.

"...No...It's okay, I'm just a little excited..." Liliai said sobbingly. She wiped her tears and adjusted her emotions. After calming down, she pulled Zhang Yu out of the competition site.

"Enjoy yourself today! It's my treat!" Liliae said boldly, waving her hand.

......

"Ah! I'm so happy. I didn't expect that I could make it to the top 16. Even though I'm at the bottom, I'm super happy!!"

As if to avenge herself for crying in public, Liliai ate a piece of the lobster tail in one bite.

"That's already great! After all, you've trained so hard, it's inevitable that you'll pass." Zhang Yu was also happy for her, after all, they were old friends. The emotional value was full.

"Well... Ayu... Actually, I am very grateful that you have been accompanying me in training all this time..." Liliai said a little embarrassedly.

"Hey! It's nothing, we are good friends!"

Zhang Yu waved his hand, indicating that it was no big deal.

"Friends... huh..." Liliae muttered softly.

"Ah? What did you say?" Zhang Yu asked as he didn't hear clearly.

"Ah! Nothing! Let's eat!" Liliai quickly changed the subject.

After entering the top 16, it’s time to decide the champion. Because each game has a time limit, all games can be completed in one day.

The last game is a computer-random match of opponents.

The screen showed that Liliae's opponent was Yuzu from Hoenn Kanaz City.

The auditorium at today's competition was basically full of people, and Zhang Yu finally found an empty seat.

And Liliai had been waiting in the preparation area for a long time.

"Are you Liliae? I didn't expect the eldest lady to also come to participate in the competition." Yuzu's tone was a little wrong.

Lilia looked at the other person in some confusion.

"Excuse me, have we met before?"

Yuzu's face suddenly turned red: "Damn it! You forgot about me so quickly! Come out, Poison Rose, Absol!"

This was a doubles match, and Liliae sent out two beautiful flowers.

"Poison Rose, Missile Needle! Absol! Gather your energy!"

Yuzu chose to let Poison Rose attack to cover Absol's improvement.

Liliae did not sit still and wait for death, but asked Meimei and Huahua to use magic leaves to offset each other's attacks.

"Meimei Huahua, use Butterfly Dance!"

"Bana~" Beautiful flower danced gracefully and improved her abilities.

At this time, Absol's energy gathering was also completed. Yuzu decisively commanded:

"Secret attack on key points!"

Absol's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, while Poison Rose continued to use missile needles to block the position of Beautiful Flower.

Just waiting for you to attack!

Seize the opportunity, Liliai commanded

"Meimei! Use the paralysis powder! Huahua, use it on the poisonous rose again."

Lilia knew that Poison Rose could perform aromatherapy, so in order to prevent the buff from being removed, she directly let Huahua control it, and didn't care even if it was attacked.

Absol's claws glowed black as it grabbed onto Meimei's body fiercely, but a sudden burst of paralysis powder paralyzed it.

"Right now! Continue using poison powder and sleeping powder!"

The tactic of getting hit first and then counterattacking has always been effective. Although Meimei felt pain, she still held on and made the opponent get hit by a pile of powder.

"You can't move! Super absorption!"

The staggering Absol could only allow Melia to absorb his energy.

The poison rose, which originally had the ability to cure abnormal states, could only release missile needles continuously because of Huahua's repeated attack. It felt that all the thorns on its body were about to be shot out.

"Liliai! How can you be so insidious!" Yuzu was a little broken!

Looking at the Absol lying limp on the ground and the poison rose that kept shooting, he had a constipated expression on his face.

The key is that the missile needle can never hit Huahua whose speed has been enhanced by Butterfly Dance.

"This is a tactical victory!!" Liliae explained seriously.

"Meimei, use Petal Dance!"

"Ba Na!" An energy storm blew up on the field. Absol, who was at the center of the storm, rolled his eyes and finally "fell asleep".

"We've been shooting for so long, it's time for us to fight back!"

"Huahua, tie a grass knot!"

A green rope suddenly appeared under the feet of the poisonous rose, causing it to stumble.

"Magic Leaf!"

The two beautiful flowers simultaneously launched several leaves towards the poisonous rose.

"Damn it! Hold on!" A green light curtain appeared in front of Poison Rose, blocking the attack of Magic Leaf.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

But the continuous attacks made the light curtain weaker and weaker.

"Snap——" accompanied by the sound of shattering, the poisonous rose still couldn't withstand the beautiful flower's moves.

Then it entered garbage time. The attack of two Belles was obviously not something a Pokémon could withstand, not to mention they were of the same attribute. If Yuzu had a fire-type Pokémon, perhaps there would be a chance of turning things around.

"Ding--"

After 5 minutes, Poison Rose finally couldn't hold on and lost consciousness.

"The final winner is Miss Liliai!"

After the referee's announcement, Youzi walked off the stage with an unconvinced look on her face.

"Strange? I don't even know her..." Liliai didn't think much about it afterwards. Anyway, she did win, so she was happy! !

"Great! I'm in the top 8! Thanks to you, A-Yu, for teaching me the tactics. Otherwise, I might not have won!"

Liliai ran over happily and high-fived Zhang Yu.

"Hahaha, you are very talented!" It has only been less than a week, and it is already very impressive that Liliaie has learned to this level.

"Next up is the semi-finals, so we need to plan our tactics carefully!"
