[Pokémon] Return to Shenao

"Xiao Liang's performance is really beautiful!" As soon as she returned to the backstage, she saw Marina coming up to greet her.Xiao Liang blushed from the praise, and could only touch the back of his head and smile silly at her.

"The state is top-notch, perfect!" Melissa followed closely behind and gave Xiaoliang a thumbs-up, but her angle of view was still different from Marina's.She has already won the title of top coordination trainer, and what she pays more attention to is not whether the performance is cheered or not, but as a coordination trainer, Xiao Liang's way of expressing her elves.

At this moment, although Melissa was congratulating, she also directly expressed her doubts: "But Xiao Liang, your performance today is not the same as before? Did you change your performance style?"

"It's true... Xiaoliang's performance this time is indeed a bit more popular, and it seems a bit different from the previous performance style that used powerful tricks and elves' excellent control to show magnificent scenes... But It’s also very beautiful, just amazing!” Marina immediately expressed her feelings, seeing that Xiao Liang’s face was a little strange, she quickly gave a few words of relief.

"No, I am also aware of the problems in my own performance... This time it is indeed my poor preparation-I always feel that I always seem to make a small mistake before the big celebration of the gorgeous contest." Xiao Liang smiled wryly .

"Ah, it's from the Futaba Festival..." Melissa suddenly realized that the matter of the Futaba Festival was really a big deal in the Sinnoh area. After all, it cannot be easily erased, and spread widely in various towns of Sinnoh.

Although Marina and Kenta, who are foreign trainers, didn't know it before, but as the owner of the Fate Gym, Melissa naturally has a certain understanding of these things, so she doesn't ask any more questions at this time.

As for Marina, who was "popularized" by Xiaoliang before, she was busy with the Futaba celebration, and now she naturally thought of whether the training time was slowed down because she cared too much about the celebration, and finally she had to make a bad decision , with such a performance in front of the audience.

"However, although the performance style is indeed a bit different from the previous ones, it is really beautiful! Especially the part where Xanadu dances with the Monarch Snake, Xanadu is really very beautiful!" Marina held her face in anticipation road.

Then his face was blurred by the maliciousness of reality.

Resolutely not believing that such a cute Xanadu turned out to be a boy, Marina's expression turned blank, while Melissa turned into a "screaming face".

Xiao Liang relaxed in the funny expressions of Marina and Melissa, and after finally laughing, another person came from behind.

"Ah, I found it! Senior Xiaoliang... ah, seniors Marina and Melissa are also here! Long time no see, seniors." Callum ran towards them energetically, and again He stopped two steps away, took off his top hat and bowed to them.

"Beautiful ladies, please also let me express my most sincere love to you."

Xiao Liang and Marina are still a little uncomfortable with Callum's open style, but Melissa, who is also from abroad, has already greeted him: "Oh, you are also very handsome, cute little gentleman."

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land may be the way to describe Callum and Melissa.Although they are not from the same country, their similar style made them chat very quickly, which inevitably made Marina and Xiao Liang next to them feel neglected.

Xiao Liang and Marina looked at each other, then shrugged in unison.

Saw a familiar person in the corner of his eyes, Xiao Liang looked sideways, and found that Xiao Shun from the Fengyuan area was putting one hand in his pocket, and the other hand was talking on the phone, but his eyes were staring at them look.

And it's very strange, it's obviously a preparation room where people come and go, but he seems to be deliberately hiding in the corner, with potted plants next to him covering it, if it wasn't for Xiao Liang who happened to be directly facing him, maybe he really couldn't be found.

Seeing Xiaoliang's puzzled gaze, he didn't feel the embarrassment of being discovered by peeping. Instead, he nodded generously to Xiaoliang, then moved his gaze down, and continued to say to the person on the other end of the phone. something.

Realizing that he had neglected the other two seniors, Callum apologized to Xiao Liang and Marina with folded hands, and then followed Xiao Liang's gaze to the person she was looking at: "Ah, it's that guy Xiao Shun, I heard that he has been entangled by a pink-haired girl for some reason recently, so he has been avoiding people all the time."

"Hey—youth?" Xiao Liang teased, but then noticed the emotional change in Callum's words, "Callum-kun seems... to speak differently to Shun-kun?"

There is no sense of urgency in tit-for-tat before, a little more recognition, and a little more intimacy.

"Well..." Callum put his top hat under his arm and touched the tip of his nose, "A lot of things have happened in the past six months... I will always mature! And I also know that guy is actually It's not quite the same as I imagined—how should I say it, as someone who also lost something...empathy?"

So, from this point of view, Mr. Shun is also a person with a story?

This thought passed through Xiao Liang's mind, and then it was thrown to the back of his mind.

The backstage of the large-scale celebration of the Gorgeous Competition is not easy for ordinary people to enter. Even if there is a coordinator trainer who is also a player as a guarantee, in order to prevent affecting other coordinators, the Gorgeous Competition Committee will expel all irrelevant personnel from the backstage.So even though Ah Yin and Kenta really wanted to see the state of the few people after the performance, they could only sit honestly in the auditorium and watch the next wave of unknown coordination trainers' performances.

Kenta is not bad. Along the way, he and Marina have watched a lot of gorgeous competitions. He has personally experienced such competitions, and now he is naturally a little invested in watching them.

But Ah Yin's side...is so bored that he is about to doze off.

If it wasn't for the fact that Kenta was still using his disturbing voice to accompany the performance on the field, maybe he would have fallen asleep by now.

The performances on the three stages are still going on, and those who can collect five ribbon medals and stand on the stage of the first review of this gorgeous competition and large-scale celebration are the outstanding ones who have already been selected once.Except for some coordination trainers who tried to challenge difficult performances but failed due to their lack of strength or luck, every performance was remarkable.But even if there are three stages performing at the same time, there are already over a hundred people performing on stage, and Xiao Liang couldn't help but gasp.

"This year's Sinnoh area...is really popular." Xiao Liang sighed.

You must know that even the previous record for the highest number of participants in the large-scale celebration of the Gorgeous Contest was only 129 people in the Fengyuan area three years ago. Three contestants have been rotated—no, it has already exceeded the record at that time!

"After all, there are more and more people who know about the gorgeous competition. I have met the coordinator trainer who used to be in the Joto area in several games before! Whether it is in the city or Kanto, I have experienced it in the newly held gorgeous competition. Seeing the charm of the gorgeous contest, and then wanting to show their talents in the Sinnoh region, one of the birthplaces of the gorgeous contest-there are more than one or two people who have such thoughts." Marina laughed again: "But speaking of it , I am also one of these people!"

"Climb to the top with your own elves, but if this peak is not in the Sinnoh area or the Hoenn area, then there is no gold content, right? Maybe the gorgeous competition in the Kanto area and the Johto area will develop very powerful in the future city, but at least for now, only by holding the ribbon trophy in the Sinnoh region or the Hoenn region can people truly affirm their own strength, and that is the real 'top coordination trainer'."

Marina spoke seriously, and the preparation room was completely silent.

Obviously, everyone had the same idea as Marina.

Since you want to be the best, there is no need to make yourself the "best". In this way, you must have the courage and space to sail against the current.And the guy who is happy with the status quo, and will be happy when the powerful enemy leaves, will naturally never reach the peak.

In the silent space, everyone was contemplating their thoughts on the gorgeous competition and their respective goals. Even Xiao Shun over there seemed to have stopped the phone in his hand.

Under such circumstances, those who speak out suddenly will naturally receive the collective attention and pressure from everyone.

That person is Xiao Liang.

For Xiao Liang, who has been troubled by his unique style since his debut, and has struggled all the way to his current position with his partners, he is naturally not afraid of the challenge of the latecomers, and calmly said: "I see, everyone thinks so ah……"

"It's just," she stood up, standing up together, and Melissa next to her, "As local 'seniors', we won't give up our honor easily!"

The eyes of the surrounding people suddenly turned unkind.

At this moment, the performance of the three coordinating trainers on the screen came to an end, and Ms. Bai An also announced that the first review was over. Please wait for a few minutes to prepare for the announcement of the final result.

The six inspectors over there were nervously reconfirming and making the final selection, and everyone in the preparation room also shifted their attention from Xiao Liang to the big screen.

A few minutes passed extremely long while everyone was waiting. Even Xiao Liang and Melissa, who are frequent visitors to the large-scale celebration of the gorgeous competition, couldn't help being a little nervous at this time.There were 130 coordinating trainers who participated in the grand celebration of the Sinnoh Regional Gorgeous Contest, but only 64 trainers were able to enter the second review.In other words, in this first review, there was a 50% elimination rate.No one can guarantee that he will bring out all the charms possessed by elves, and no one can guarantee that his performance will definitely win the hearts of the judges.

Finally, the results were published.

Melissa ranked first, "bringing back to life" the smoke stickers that were originally called useless, and perfectly demonstrated the charm of ghost elves. Such an achievement will naturally be recognized by most people. The new acting style also helps a lot, and Melissa does a really good job in that regard.

Callum came second like a dark horse. Flame's performance perfectly showed the charm of the fire elves and the demon fire red fox, and the background of the first trip can also give him a lot of achievement points.Xiao Shun was a few behind Callum, and Marina followed closely behind Xiao Shun. The performances of these two also showed the charm of elves in their own ways, and won a lot of praise.

However, Xiao Liang's profile picture never appeared.

The large-scale celebration of the Sinnoh Regional Gorgeous Contest adopts a ranking system. Generally speaking, the first the Coordinator Trainer appears on the big screen, the more points he will get in the first review.And Xiao Liang, who also received warm applause from the audience like everyone else, has not yet appeared... This is undoubtedly a bad signal.

Row after row of lists were listed gradually, and Xiao Liang's head portrait finally appeared on the second-to-last row.

"Huh..." Xiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief.Although it wasn't very good, she finally passed the first level.

only……

Xiao Liang looked at the big screen where all the lists had been reported, looked at the expressions of joy or disappointment of the people around him, and suppressed others' worries and relief with a smile.

This is indeed her worst result since her debut, but it is also the result she deserves this time.

After leaving Team Flare, she has been troubled by various things in her mind, unable to concentrate on choreographing the show, and even got distracted many times during training.

Although a tricky method was used to represent the elves in the end, such a method was naturally not enough in the eyes of the judges. She had already expected such a low score in advance.

It's just... She didn't expect that those judges were really so ruthless and strict.

Feeling ashamed of his faint fluke mentality, Xiao Liang watched the 64 rosters break up again on the big screen, turning into a battle table.

Her first opponent was an unfamiliar coordinator, and she was not very active in this year's competition. She didn't seem to fight again after she won a ribbon medal—it was when she went to the Johto area Rising star?Seeing that her match was scheduled for the next day, she secretly made up her mind that when she went back, she would dig out all the matches of this player from last year and watch them again, so as to study her opponent carefully.

Marina's opponent was an acquaintance she had met in the Chengdu area, and Melissa seemed to have heard a little about her opponent, as well as Callum...

Xiao Liang looked at Callum's battle table and couldn't help looking at the corner before, but now, the person who called was no longer there.

In the second review, the gorgeous battle, Callum's opponent in the first battle happened to be the strong opponent he identified, Xiao Shun.

Just because the first review only took a little physical strength of the elf, the second review started again soon after a short break, and as the first battle, Callum and Xiao Shun stood on the stage of the performance.

"Then, ladies and gentlemen—" Ms. Bai'an appeared from the lifting platform and arrived at the referee's seat amidst cheers, "The second round of the review of the grand celebration of the Sinnoh Regional Gorgeous Contest, the gorgeous battle, is finally about to begin !"

"The two sides of this battle are two famous rising stars in this year's Sinnoh Regional Gorgeous Competition! The one standing on my left made his debut in this year's Hoenn Region Mikri Cup, and even won the Mikri Cup. The cup will be played on the final stage, the Koshu player from the Hoenn area!"

Xiao Shun bowed to the auditorium, arousing cheers from fans.

"The one standing on my right is Callum from the Carlos region, who made his official debut in the gorgeous competition held in Baiyang Town in our Shen'ao region this year, and won the ribbon medal in that gorgeous competition in one fell swoop. player!"

Callum danced a few brisk steps, tossed the top hat around his head and caught it, sparking another wave of screams.

"The combination of strong rivals who met in the second gorgeous contest between the two sides, what kind of fierce battle and performance will they bring us this time-a gorgeous battle with a time limit of 5 minutes, and the timer starts!" Seeing that the time is almost up, Bai Ms. An cut through the mess quickly and got straight to the point.

"Desert Dragonfly, Nine Tails, GO!" Xiao Shun took the lead in throwing the poke ball, highlighting his pokemon.

Breaking free from the flames, the beautiful nine tails of Nine Tails danced in a bewitching trajectory in the air, while the desert dragonfly rushed out from the gap at the tip of the tail, circling and turning in the air like a show of skill, and stopped steadily. Beside Kyuubi.

In the gorgeous battle, because the elf stickers need to be pasted in advance, the elf ball must be kept at a normal size.This allows those coordinators to get used to choosing the elves to play first before the game, and they don't care about the first and second.

"Nine-tails? That's really a coincidence—" Callum made a playful smile, and threw out his partners: "Come on! Lucario, Nine-tails!"

The elves on Callum's side were also instantly displayed in front of everyone.

Lucario was naturally evolved from his original elf, Riolu. The chivalry he possessed when he was a child became more obvious after the evolution. At the moment when he broke through the white light and transformed into shape, his resolute eyes seemed to be able to stab Pierce all enemies in sight.

And another elf also appeared in the white light.

Light blue slender hair flutters between the ears, and the place where the tail connects to the body is dyed dark blue by an unknown force.Its body hair is not as gorgeous and docile as Xiao Shun's nine-tailed one, but it also has another kind of elegant and wind-blown beauty.

There seems to be a coldness that can freeze the air during the breath, which is the opposite of Xiao Shun's nine-tailed god opposite, the diametrically opposite god.

That is the existence in this world that seems to be born with opposites.

The author has something to say:

Who said before that you want to see Alola Six Tails... There is no Six Tails, I will give you Nine Tails to cut [bu
