[Pokémon] Return to Shenao

"Welcome to the City of Fate!"

The noisy bird at the gate flapped its wings and welcomed Xiaoliang loudly and warmly to its city.

"Wow, I finally came to Yuanzhi City! Walking up and down the tunnel of Tianguan Mountain is really exhausting, isn't it, Yinjun?" Xiao Liang raised his head and scanned the metropolis in front of him, turned his head excitedly, thinking She wanted to share her joy with others—however, the only one in sight was the noisy bird who had just welcomed her.

Noisy Bird noticed that Xiao Liang was looking at him again, bowed to Xiao Liang very gentlemanly, and said, "May I introduce you, honored guest?"

"Ah, no, no need, thank you!" Xiao Liang came back to his senses, and smiled back at Noisy Bird, "Isn't it hard to stay here? If possible, would you like some muffins?"

Xiao Liang rummaged in the side pocket of the backpack, but suddenly remembered that because of A Yin's departure, she had given all the muffins to A Yin before leaving, and now only the monarch snake was left to eat. A muffin suitable for Grass Pokémon.

The noisy bird's reply promptly relieved Xiao Liang who was a little embarrassed. It stretched out its wings and stood between it and Xiao Liang: "Thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept bribes when I'm working!"

He said so, but the noisy bird's eyes kept drifting away.

Xiao Liang burst out laughing with a "puchi", and bowed to the noisy bird: "Then, work harder!"

When he straightened up, Xiaoliang looked towards the direction of the downtown area of ​​Yuanzhi, and sighed to the noisy bird: "Yuanzhi City...is really a good place!"

"Of course!" Noisy Bird proudly raised his chest, and continued to welcome the next person loudly when he passed through the gate: "Welcome to Yuanzhishi!"

The City of Fate, a city formed by the gathering of Pokémon and humans by fate.

This is one of the most prosperous cities in the Sinnoh region. Because of its unique and comfortable climate, complete facilities, and the atmosphere of harmonious coexistence between humans and elves, it was voted the most livable city in the Sinnoh region. Kids and young mothers are welcome.

There are many types of buildings in Yuanzhi City. There is a communication square for humans and elves to walk and play together. There is the largest muffin cooking kitchen in the Sinnoh area. There are foreign cultural buildings that are different from the surrounding architectural styles but wonderfully integrated. , there is the famous Yuanzhi City gymnasium in the whole country and its owner, Miss Melissa, who has outstanding achievements in the fields of trainers and coordinating trainers.

Of course, there is also a gorgeous contest held every month, the main venue of the National Super Gorgeous Contest in Yuanzhi City.

Xiao Liang stopped in front of the main venue.

She came at the right time. In a few days, this month's gorgeous contest will start.

Well... After all, I was lying on the hospital bed for a long time before.

Xiao Liang took a deep breath and stepped in through the brilliant gate.

——This is an agreement.

After the match between the Tanabata Blue Bird and Nido King, Ah Yin stood in the rain and spoke to her who was squatting on the ground holding the Tanabata Blue Bird.

"Let's go to the gorgeous contest."

"You should shine in a place like that."

"Instead of staying by my side."

—and parted ways.

A completely different heat wave hit the venue, and the way the coordinating trainers lined up for registration made Xiaoliang feel a sense of kindness—yes, how long has it been since I participated in the gorgeous competition?

During this period of time, due to the incident between the Flame team and Yinjun, she seemed to have relaxed her training for the gorgeous competition, perhaps as Yinjun said.

She was stagnant because of him, even retreating.

When signing up, Xiao Liang unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance—Callum was here too!

"Didn't Mr. Callum go to participate in the gorgeous competition in Baihe Town? Why did you suddenly come to Yuanzhi City?" After registering, Xiao Liang sat in a small restaurant not far from the venue of the gorgeous competition with a cup of milk tea in his hand. , Opposite is Callum who ordered a cup of coffee.

"Ah, don't mention it," Callum spread it on the table, "I was about to reach the contact point of Baihe Town, which is the closest to EMI City, when it suddenly rained heavily! I missed the time!"

——Then the next time to use flying Pokmon to escort people to Baihe Town is already after the gorgeous contest, and Callum is destined to miss the double gorgeous contest held in Baihe Town.

A sudden rainstorm?

Xiaoliang thought of the rainstorm she and Ah Yin encountered when they played against the Flame Team in Tianguan Mountain.

Is it about that time?

At that time, she was still in the mood to think that among Yin Jun's Pokémon, there were so many elves who had learned the trick of "protecting".

but now……

Seeing Xiaoliang's suddenly lonely expression, Callum looked around, pretending to be vigorous: "Speaking of... where is senior Ah Yin? Could it be that he went to challenge the gymnasium in Yuanzhi City alone? But I heard that the gymnasium The Lord is preparing for this magnificent competition, and the museum has been closed for several days!" If that guy wants to go now, he must be shut down!

"No..." Xiao Liang shook his head, "Yin Jun... After that incident, he has already gone north to challenge the gymnasium in Qiefeng City, so I separated from him."

"Ah..." Callum, who knew what he said was wrong, froze for a moment, and then decisively changed the subject: "Then, since you signed up, Senior Xiaoliang also came to participate in the two-day gorgeous competition, right? What are you going to use this time?" How about only elves?"

"Spy on the enemy's situation?" Knowing that Callum wanted to comfort himself, Xiao Liang also teased him very cooperatively, and then watched him exaggerately waved: "No, no, just ask casually!"

"The first review has already decided to let the Monarch Snake play. If it is a gorgeous match, it is really necessary to let the Qixi Blue Bird move more." Without too many worries, Xiao Liang said his plan.

"Hey—" Callum clicked his tongue.

Having fought against the Tanabata Jade Bird, he certainly knows that Xiaoliang's Tanabata Jade Bird not only looks gorgeous and elegant in appearance, but its skills, coordination, and even power are no worse than some elves who travel for a long time and mainly attack the trainers.

Sure enough, Senior Xiao Liang is a strong enemy!

But he won't give up easily, after all, the performance of the elves is what he watched in the gorgeous contest.Luck, the state of the elf, and even the referee's preferences, all of these will have a great impact on the result!

"Ah!" Seeing the clock in the shop slowly move to the position of "three"—it was already three o'clock in the afternoon—Xiao Liang couldn't help screaming.

"?" Callum, who was cheering himself up, looked up suspiciously, "Senior Xiaoliang, what's wrong?"

"I haven't bought my elf sticker yet!" Thinking of a big event, Xiao Liang hurriedly got up and apologized to Callum: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let's stop talking this time—waiter, pay the bill!"

"Ah, senior Xiaoliang, go slowly, be careful on the road—" Callum sat there a little stunned and watched Xiaoliang rush to check out and then ran away, the end of his words was closed by the closed glass door in the store.

"I always feel...Senior Xiaoliang suddenly became a lot more reckless?" Callum stirred the coffee that hadn't been touched after serving, and took a sip.

"Woo wah, bah, bah, bah, it's so bitter!"

——So, pretending to be coercive or something is out of the question.

After picking out the Poke Ball stickers, there was a little time left before heading back to the Pokemon Center for a break—sure enough, stock up on the muffin tins!

While making muffins, the TV next to him was playing the replay of the recent gorgeous competition, and Xiao Liang also saw Callum in it—as expected, he was a very talented junior.

Cut, cook, stir, bake, cool.

After the proficient process is done, there are more and more various utensils waiting to be scrubbed next to them. If there were no flaming monkeys jumping up and down next to them to catch them and arrange them, it is estimated that this area would have collapsed and buried Xiao Liang in it—— —So, it’s no wonder that the people next to him looked at Xiao Liang in horror, and then moved their things out of the stove by two places, right?

Making muffins while watching TV, the time passed quickly, so when Xiao Liang finally made all the berries into muffins, she realized that she seemed to have done too much.

And he also habitually made Geng Gui's share as well.

Xiao Liang couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and reflected on his "low-level mistake" this time.

It is impossible to challenge the gorgeous competition in such a state!

Cheer up, Xiaoliang!

Xiaoliang patted the side of his face violently, pulled himself together and cleaned up the "tragedies" on the table, and then gave the extra muffins to the proprietress of the muffin house, and asked her to distribute them to those fledglings who came to challenge to make Muffin's coordinator trainer, and those wild elves who come to beg for food from time to time.

After all, things like muffins cannot be kept for a long time.

Ah Yin's elves and Xiao Liang's elves do not have similar tastes and attributes. Instead of leaving it here and waiting for it to break, it is better to let them play their due role as much as possible.

The preparations before the Gorgeous Contest went smoothly. The state of the Monarch Snake and the Qixi Blue Bird has also been adjusted to the best. The stickers have been selected long ago. .

So finally, the grand contest opened.

Miss Bai'an was as lively as ever—introducing the guests on the field, enlivening the atmosphere, mobilizing the audience with a humorous tone to appreciate the performance of those coordinating trainers and their elves.

Very busy.

But Xiaoliang was different from other coordinators who were nervous or excited—she just sat there quietly, and even Callum came over to say hello, but she didn't get a response.

——Until a pair of big hands slammed onto her shoulders: "Hallo! Long time no see, Xiaoliang!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-)

"Senior Melissa?!" Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Xiao Liang couldn't help but feel relieved, and then noticed the dissatisfaction of the people around him, and hurriedly bowed and apologized.

——After apologizing, Xiao Liang came to denounce the "culprit".

"Senior Melissa! I told you not to always appear like this!" From a certain point of view, Ms. Melissa is truly worthy of her status as the "Ghost Gym Master".

From some unrememberable aspects ==

"Oh, sorry! I didn't expect Xiao Liang to be in a daze in the preparation room. Could it be that you are too confident in this competition so you don't take it seriously? This kind of mentality is no, no, no No way?" Miss Melissa quickly waved her hand to signal, and by the way, gave a little warning to Xiao Liang's current state.

"Well... it's not about this grand contest, it's my personal matter..." Speaking of this, Xiao Liang smiled a bit reluctantly on his face, "However, I will adjust myself when I stand on the stage. In such a state, Senior Melissa, don't underestimate me!"

"OK, that's the momentum!" Melissa laughed when she saw Xiao Liang cheered up, but then she squinted her eyes and touched her chin, whispering in a very mysterious way: "Private matters... tsk tsk tsk, as expected What about youth?"

Girl's troubles in love~

Although he couldn't hear what Melissa said clearly, Xiao Liang felt that it was definitely not a good thing.

Senior Melissa must not know where she wants to go ==

——Xiao Liang arranged his seniors unceremoniously in his heart.

In order to prevent Melissa from thinking more crookedly, Xiao Liang chose to divert her attention—"Senior Melissa, let's watch the elf show for the first review."

"OKOK~Since you said so, Xiaoliang, let's watch together~" Melissa's ending sound showed her excitement.

Xiaoliang's mood is more subtle ==

The gorgeous competition held in Yuanzhi City this time is an ordinary gorgeous competition. There are no special requirements. Anyone can participate. In addition, there are many floating population and residents living here in Yuanzhi City. There are many people in this gorgeous competition, and their levels are also uneven.

There are high-level people like Melissa and Xiaoliang, and there are people like the one who just left the field—the elf's trick failed to show the elf's charm, and the guy who smashed the elf himself was incapacitated.

"Well, it's another ordinary trainer who came here to play while watching the excitement. The gorgeous contest is not that simple." From the state of the elves, it can be seen whether that person likes the gorgeous contest or not. Just liking the glory of the gorgeous contest, Xiao Liang did not hesitate to ridicule him.

But the next person who appeared on the stage made Xiaoliang's eyes shine - it was Callum.

"Ah, have you come to Mr. Callum's performance yet?" Xiao Liang, who has seen Callum's gorgeous battle, still has some confidence in his performance. What will be the performance that is hastily prepared for the gorgeous competition in Yuanzhi City?

"Oh, it's this kid."

Melissa also imitated Xiao Liang and raised her chin to look: "So it's someone Xiao Liang knows."

"Well, I met you in EMI before, Mr. Callum...what's the matter?" Hearing Melissa's subtle tone, Xiao Liang couldn't help but turned his head and asked.

"Nonono, don't show such a serious expression. It's just that he was provoking a green-haired boy with a poison rose for some reason before, and made the other party fight or something--a kind of immature flavor. " Melissa waved her hand and replied.

"Take the initiative to provoke?" Are you so angry that the other party calls for a fight?

Xiao Liang said it was a little unbelievable.Although Callum was a bit childish when facing her and Yin Jun, but when facing strangers, he was also polite and a gentleman, right?

Even when Yin-jun and Yin-jun were at odds before, it was Yin-jun who was making faces, but he still had that grinning look on his face.

Callum mockingly provoked something... I can't imagine it _(:з」∠)_

Involuntarily, Xiao Liang became a little curious about the "green-haired boy with a poisonous rose"—it's a pity that Melissa told Xiao Liang that when she was in a daze, the boy had already finished his performance and won a very high award. evaluation of.

This made Xiao Liang more interested.

Callum's first review this time used the Flame-Eared Fox.The elves from other regions that have never been seen before, the small and cute figure, the gorgeous sparks floating around, the big soft ears that can absorb the flames, everything makes people feel pity and is highly praised.

Watching Mr. Conkenstein and the others begin to comment on the performance of Flame Ear Fox, Xiao Liang also stood up—she had registered behind Callum, and now it was time for her to go to the corridor to prepare.

"Xiao Liang, come on! Go! Go! Go!" Melissa cheered her up from behind.

"Well, I will work hard!" Xiaoliang smiled, and then ran out.

In the middle of the walk, I happened to meet Callum who was coming back. Xiaoliang and the other party smiled, encouraged each other, and then passed each other.

Finally on stage.

Familiar scenes, familiar people, familiar cheers, familiar judges.

Everything seemed to bring her back to the way she was in the first beauty contest.

However, she is completely different.

Wearing a new dress specially put on to match the Monarch Snake, Xiao Liang quietly walked to the center of the stage.

The calmness completely different from the previous performance style made Ms. Bai'an not know how to introduce it for a while, and even the audience became quiet step by step, amidst the clear footsteps.

"Although I have never won a trophy in the gorgeous competition, have you already cultivated momentum?" Melissa looked at the preparation room that suddenly became quiet, and raised her eyebrows to comment. .”

On the other side, the performance of Xiao Liang and Monarch Snake on the screen has just begun.

"The sprouts are reborn."

Xiao Liang spread out his hand, and touched the poke ball like a spell. Under the action of the "vine" sticker, with the figure of the elf turning into white light, four vines sprouted and stretched from the periphery of the poke ball.

"There are many obstacles."

The growing vines spiraled continuously, wrapping layers of white light representing elves, forming a green hydrangea in the air.

"But also—"

The monarch snake, transformed into a hydrangea.

"—I can't resist the strong man's footsteps!"

"Magic Leaf", attack!

The green light erupting from the tip of the monarch snake's tail immediately swept across the surrounding vines, smashing them into pieces, turning into green light and flying down—but this was not enough!

"Magic Leaf" has not stopped moving forward, and shot straight at the auditorium——

Then it stopped amidst an exclamation.

The performance from extremely dynamic to extremely quiet made many people present who were not intimidated by the action just now shine brightly, and many people were weighing how to deal with this monarch snake when they encountered it.

The Monarch Snake fell from the sky to the ground, stirring up a bit of smoke and dust, and the "Magic Leaf" that was stagnant in the air also happened to form a circle in the air—the Monarch Snake, standing with its head held high and its chest held high.

The applause was sporadic, and the reaction of the audience who was finally awakened became louder and louder, and finally gathered into violent cheers.

No matter who it is, they will yearn for the existence of the strong!

Amidst the cheers, Ms. Bai'an also explained the performance of the Monarch Snake without showing any weakness, focusing on the excellent control of the Monarch Snake - after all, this is the most obvious thing.

But many viewers are still puzzled, because Monarch Snake has not opened his eyes since his appearance.

Can it control its own skills so accurately without looking at it?

Just how powerful is this Monarch Snake? !

Perfect!It is indeed correct to mix "Green Leaf Storm" with "Magic Leaf" to enhance the power of Monarch Snake!

Xiao Liang was very satisfied with Monarch Snake's performance, and then clapped his hands.

After receiving the instruction, the Monarch Snake still kept its eyes closed, and its tail glowed green again. With a light sweep, another circle of "magic leaves" lingered out, and then stopped.

Third lap, fourth lap.

The monarch snake uses a "magic leaf" to open a green, blooming flower around it.

The audience's attention is increasingly focused on the monarch snake in the center, trying to see where its limits are.

Isn't it tiring to control so many "magic leaves" at once!

It was indeed tired, but the Monarch Snake didn't show it.Even with the blessing of the previous "Green Leaf Storm", it is almost reaching its limit.

So when the last "magic leaf" swung out from the tip of the tail, the Monarch Snake opened its eyes.

A pair of eyes shone with a mysterious purple light.

"The big snake stares"!

At that moment, everyone who stared at the monarch snake seemed to be paralyzed, along with breathing.

The last wave of "Magic Leaf" swept across all the previous leaves, and the first wave of "Magic Leaf" that started at the same time died in the air, turning into green light spots and falling lightly.

Monarch Snake also withdraws the energy from the eyes at the same time, and the purple color turns into red eyes in a normal state. Monarch Snake and Xiao Liang bow to the audience and prepare to leave.

And the audience finally remembered to breathe at this moment.

The sound of hundreds of thousands of people exhaling at the same time in the venue was unusual, and even they themselves were frightened-but this did not prevent them from cheering.

Such a powerful performance!

It's really worth it to watch the Gorgeous Contest this time!

People were excitedly discussing Xiaoliang's performance, and the judges also gave a very high evaluation.

It worked!

The joyful Xiao Liang and Monarch Snake looked at each other, then bowed and left.

The author has something to say:

After the little angel reminded me, I found that I could actually stop at yesterday's chapter and end it unfinished!

The baby lost a chance to unfinished.

Humph.
