[Pokémon] Return to Shenao

The results of the first review came out very quickly. Xiaoliang and Melissa ranked in the front row with high scores that no one else could surpass. Callum, who performed more mediocrely, narrowly entered the second review with the last place.

Gorgeous battle.

A total of eight people, the selected list quickly flipped over and then disrupted and reorganized. When they reappeared, the order of the battle was displayed in front of everyone.

"Ah, Senior Melissa and I won't be able to meet until the final battle..." Xiao Liang pointed her chin, feeling a little rejoiced and also a little disappointed, then she turned to look at Callum beside her: "Callum The opponent Jun Daoshi encountered at the beginning was—"

"...Xu Shun from Larus City, Hoenn Region." Callum pulled the brim of his hat.In order to match the performance of the little princess of the flame ear fox, Callum chose a gentleman's standard suit this time, and even equipped with a hat on his head.

Xiao Liang looked at Callum's serious side face and his completely different reaction from when he treated others, and felt a little sighed in his heart.

"Strong enemy... well." Xiao Liang chuckled lightly.

If this is the case, she really has to congratulate Mr. Callum—a person can only move forward and grow the fastest when he has a goal to pursue.

However, she didn't expect that Callum had identified this rival, and she hadn't seen it before.

Both Miss Saori and Robert-kun participated in the Mikri Cup Gorgeous Contest held in Larousse City, Hoenn Prefecture, and she also watched the whole process on TV.The eight contestants selected for the first review went through a fierce battle, and in the end Miss Saori defeated Robert-kun, and then on the final stage of the gorgeous competition, she faced Shun-kun.

Although Vivienne introduced him as a rookie trainer in Larousse City who participated in the gorgeous competition for the first time, and it is said that he is still a student at the academy and has not officially started traveling, but the performance of the elves and the opponents shown in the competition The comprehension of the Gorgeous Contest is eye-catching, and it is not at the same level as ordinary novice coordination trainers!

Callum-kun is of course also very talented, but against such an opponent... it's still a bit of a mystery.

At such a young age, he can have such a deep understanding of the gorgeous competition, not to mention that he has already understood the competition system of the gorgeous competition, but he still has the courage to make his debut in the Mikri Cup gorgeous competition gathered by top coordinating trainers. That confidence may be his One of the keys to success.

But isn't he from the Fengyuan area?

Generally speaking, newcomer trainers in each region, no matter what kind of occupation they choose, they will generally choose to start traveling first in the region they live in.On the one hand, it is because the familiar environment can make youngsters who have just started to grow up calmly and quickly. On the other hand, for local trainers, the alliances in various regions will also have some greater tolerance and benefits. For newcomer trainers , is still very helpful.

Contrary to those benefits, for trainers from other regions, the alliance generally defaults to them as "veterans" who have traveled for at least a year.Not to mention the relatively few benefits, and sometimes being rejected by the locals.

——So, starting to travel in other regions from the very beginning, this is an extremely difficult strategy record!

Reminiscent of Callum, who also came to the Sinnoh area from the Carlos area at the beginning of his travels, Xiaoliang tilted his head—could this be one of the reasons why Callum-kun regarded Shun-kun as a strong enemy?

Xiaoliang's guess was a little off, but it wasn't all right.

Because there were so many applicants, the first round of review alone took a whole morning, and it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon before they had time to go out for dinner.

While discussing the upcoming gorgeous battle in the afternoon, when Xiao Liang and his party were about to walk to the door, a figure leaning against the wall attracted their attention.

A purple performance jacket, a white shirt, and the rose pinned to the jacket.

That person was the other person they had just discussed, that Xiao Shun who seemed to be at odds with Callum.

Seeing Callum, who was sandwiched between two gorgeous seniors, Xiao Shun seemed to be thinking about something, and his face became a little uglier, but this did not prevent him from completing the planned plan.

The two stood there facing each other, and after a silent confrontation for a while, Xiao Shun took out the rose in his pocket and threw it at Callum.

Callum reached out to catch it, and the expression on his face became even uglier.

"See you on the battlefield in the gorgeous match in the afternoon."

After leaving these words, Xiao Shun nodded towards Xiao Liang and Miss Melissa, greeted Quan Dang, then turned and left.

——A look of waiting here is to provoke Callum, while the other two are just passing by.

Xiao Liang's affection for the other party suddenly dropped. Seeing Callum staring at the rose in his hand and wondering what he was thinking, Xiao Liang decided to cheer up Callum: "Mr. Callum, the gorgeous battle in the afternoon Come on!"

On the other side, Miss Melissa rubbed her chin with a creepy smile——

"Hmm... how about falling in love and killing each other?"

... Senior Melissa, please collect your imagination, thank you.

Xiao Liang was almost choked by Miss Melissa's words, but before she could refute, Callum said, "...No, this is an application for a duel."

Just as knights throw white gloves as a etiquette for a duel, there are also other etiquettes for a duel to express fighting intent in some places.

If you throw roses...is it really someone from that family?

Oh, what a young master.

The smile on Callum's mouth was both sarcastic and disdainful.He took two steps forward, casually threw the rose in his hand into the trash can beside him, then turned around and smiled brightly at Xiao Liang and Miss Melissa: "Okay, okay, let's go eat!"

Yuanzhi City, which holds a gorgeous contest every month, is naturally very familiar with the process of the gorgeous contest. Even the restaurant in the Elf Center has a separate area for the contestants of the gorgeous contest, where they can eat and rest.People get together to discuss the performance in the morning, their own mistakes and others' wonderful performances while eating, and then learn lessons and experience from them, so that they can grow up.

The gorgeous battle in the afternoon was as smooth as ever. After Xiao Liang and Miss Melissa won easily one after another, the battle between Callum and Xiao Shun was finally about to begin.

For the magnificent battle in the afternoon, the roof of the venue was specially opened to let the sunlight in.

"Then, after two intense and gorgeous battles, the next two contestants are evenly matched—" Ms. Bai'an also tried her best to mobilize the audience's activity, trying to catch all the topics.

"He comes from the Fengyuan region, another birthplace of the gorgeous contest. This is the second time he challenges the gorgeous contest—Xiao Shun contestant!"

Xiao Shun, who walked out with the sun shining, bowed slightly to the audience and the judges.

"As well as from the Carlos region, which has just joined the alliance, it is also the second time to challenge the gorgeous competition-Callum player!"

Waving his hands, Callum walked out of the aisle, threw up the gentleman's hat in his hand and caught it, bent down and performed a gentleman's etiquette.

Then he looked straight across and raised his chin provocatively.

After receiving the provocation from Callum, Xiao Shun lowered his head and took care of the rose in his pocket, as if he didn't care about the other party at all—but the anger in his heart had gradually risen.

"What kind of brilliance the two newcomers can shine on this stage, please wait and see!"

Seeing that the introductions were over, the two contestants still did not throw the poke ball to show their partners, so Ms. Bai'an had no choice but to remind them, interrupting the confrontation between the two: "Then, please invite the two young contestants Show off your gorgeous fighting partners!"

Callum, who came back to his senses, touched his nose in embarrassment, and then threw the poke ball that he had held in his hand for a long time—"Come on, Riolu!"

Callum didn't use stickers this time. Rioglu simply stepped out of the white light, and then took a stance, waiting for the enemy from the opposite side to attack.

On the other side, Xiao Shun also brushed his bangs on his forehead, and threw the elf ball: "Ice elf, Go!"

The light blue elf jumped out of the blizzard, and the faint ice crystals slid past it, making its body hair smooth and beautiful, and it had a colder temperament than ice and snow.

"The ice elf vs. Riolu, the new trainers who are not from Sinnoh, but they all come up with Sinnoh's own characteristic elves! This can be described as a fateful match." Of course, Miss Bai'an would not miss such a dramatic development. , but the audience might not be able to wait until now, so she went directly to the topic concisely: "Then, the gorgeous battle with a time limit of 5 minutes begins now!"

A countdown began on the big screen.

Not Poison Rose!

This fact made Callum a little surprised for a while, but soon he also reacted and suppressed the irritability in his heart-this is nothing surprising, just like he used the flame ear fox in the first review, and the second time It was the same as Riolu used in the review. Even for fledgling trainers, for people with "background" like them, it is not difficult to get elves faster than others.

What matters is the strength and status of the elves on both sides!

After calming down, Callum remembered what Xiaoliang and Miss Melissa had said to him before the gorgeous battle, so he stared at the movement of the opposite ice elf and began to observe the state of the opposite ice elf.

The luster of the fur is excellent, the limbs are strong, and the light and leisurely appearance when walking around is a fact.

It's not easy to mess with.

——As expected of someone from that family.

Thinking of the family crest engraved on the other party's bow tie, Callum's eyes darkened.

He had seen that pattern.

When Carlos went through turmoil and returned to the terroir, the Hoenn region also came to intervene because of the alliance, taking the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Callum also saw the pattern at that time.When his father's Pokémon ball factory was oppressed by the alliance and was forced to cooperate with foreign companies.

The company from Fengyuan belonged to that family.

Callum clenched his fists.

If they don't have enough power, they can only be manipulated by others, but why should they!

It's just the power of the parents!

But bullying!

——Even from a long distance, Xiao Shun could feel the anger conveyed by the person opposite.

Carlos area, Aroma City.With only these two locations, Xiao Shun immediately understood the source of the boy's anger.

Unlike Callum, who has been raised as an ordinary child, Xiao Shun was pulled by his father since he was a child, and together with Manao, he learned the ancient legends of the Fengyuan area, family history, and the responsibilities and obligations they need to bear.Naturally, things in the company were not hidden from him too much.

He is not unclear about what their company is doing in the Carlos area.

However, enterprises, business matters, are so cruel.

It can even be said that their company annexed the Pokeball factory of the Callum family without any results, which is considered very kind.

It's not that Xiao Shun can't understand Callum's anger, but in his opinion, the anger directed at him is ridiculously childish.

She keeps saying that he is just a young master who uses his family to show off, but isn't he too?

The values, the starting point, these things are different from the beginning.

Moreover, he now has more important things to do than venting his anger with the other party.

Eyes closed, eyes opened, Xiao Shun suppressed the ridicule and emotion in his heart, and issued a command to the ice elf: "Ice elf, freeze the light!"

coming!

Callum, who had been keeping a close eye on the other party's dynamics, immediately responded: "Riolu, Rock Seal!"

Riolu quickly gathered a huge stone and threw it towards the freezing light. The energy of the "rock seal" just hit the light wave of the "frozen light" before it dissipated. The two forces collided in the air, and the huge stone was gradually covered by ice, and then suddenly cracked and turned into light. The blue light fell on the ground, and some points were deducted from both sides at the same time.

Without the obstruction of the "rock seal", the "frozen light" continued to shoot towards the original trajectory, but there was no one in that direction at this time, only a huge icicle was frozen on the ground.

Following the mirror image refracted by the icicle, Xiao Shun sharply noticed that there seemed to be a hole behind the icicle - and the reduced score also proved his guess.

Oops, it's digging a hole!

"Ice elf, watch out for the ground!"

The huge "rock seal" just now blocked his sight after all, and it was a bit late for him to react at this time. Rioglu got out from the ground under the ice elf's feet and swung his fist fiercely.

"God Fist"!

Fighting type's unique move against ice type can be said to be very effective. If this move is hit, not only will the points be deducted a lot, but also the physical strength will be greatly weakened.

——Unfortunately, this is an ice elf who grew up on a snow-capped mountain. It is extremely sensitive to the vibrations of the ground.

The ice elf sensed the movement below Riolu before he broke through the ground, and quickly jumped to avoid it, and Callum's score decreased accordingly.

"Very good, high-speed star strikes back!"

Under Xiao Shun's command, the ice elf spit out a series of golden stars and quickly attacked Riolu.

"Riolu, hide in the cave!"

Seeing that one blow was not enough, Callum also responded in a timely manner. Rioglu turned around in the air decisively and hid in the hole.

However, the "high-speed star" known as "100% hit rate" is not a trick that can be easily avoided-the golden star chased Riolu's footsteps, followed by falling into the hole, and then caused an explosion in the hole. explode.

Xiao Shun looked proudly at the collapsed ground, but he was not relieved by the peaceful expression on the other side.

But Callum's score did drop a lot.

Most of the time had passed by now, and it was obvious that Xiao Shun had the upper hand in terms of scores, but in the preparation room, Xiao Liang raised his chin.

"Hmm... I always feel that Callum-kun is planning something?"

Miss Melissa who was standing next to her also had the same thought, but she also sighed: "However, she is still a little younger."

This is a gorgeous contest, and they are standing on the stage of gorgeous battles.

All battles must be resolved within 5 minutes.

This is the premise of everything.

Time waits for no one.

On the ground, after watching the ground collapse, the ice elf took two steps back. The vibration of the ground made him a little uncomfortable, and he wanted to stay away from that place.

Then, an attack came from behind!

"Bo missiles!"

Accompanied by the skill that Callum shouted loudly, a light blue ball of light shot out from the hole in the ground, directly attacking the upset ice elf.

"Dodge to the right!"

The sudden change made Xiao Shun's face a little flustered, but he still tried his best to give instructions and try to avoid it.

It's a pity that this time, under the influence of the ground collapse, the ice elf, who hadn't predicted it in advance, didn't escape after all, and was hit by the "wave missile" hard on the side, and was beaten out.

Xiao Shun's score also dropped suddenly, barely higher than Callum, who was behind by a big score before - being hit by an attack with corresponding attributes will obviously deduct more points!

"Ice Elf!" Xiao Shun looked anxiously, and saw the Ice Elf turning over in the air, and then landed steadily—fortunately, it didn't look like the injury was serious.

There is only 1 minute left, it is time to make a quick decision!

Xiao Shun decided to let the ice elf try the combo skills he was still practicing: "Ice elf, high-speed stars, and then water tail!"

The golden stars spit out from the mouth of the ice elf, and then merged into a spiral on its raised diamond-shaped tail, interlaced with the suddenly rising spiral water column, and glistened even more against the sunlight.

Callum's score dropped accordingly.

"Combination skills..." Callum gritted his teeth.He originally prepared a lot of combo skills for the double gorgeous contest, but those skills can't be completed with only one elf, Riolu.

but!

"Even if I don't have a combo, I won't admit defeat! Riolu didn't use bullet punches to meet him!"

As if he had been infected by Callum's courage and motivation, Riolu let out a low growl, swung his fist, turned his whole body into white light, and attacked the attacking ice elf.

"Hey? Is it the way of expressing that I stole from my flame monkey's Sonic Fist?" Xiao Liang was taken aback in front of the screen. To show the bravery of the elves, Callum also worked hard after the battle with me."

However, unfortunately.

"But that combo technique can't be broken through just by bravery." Xiaoliang felt sorry for Callum in his heart.

As Xiaoliang said, although Riolu's "Bullet Punch" successfully deducted points from the opponent, when the skills of the two sides collide, the power and advantages of the combo technique are revealed here—even if the attack of "Mizuo" is defeated Stop it, but there's no obstacle for the "High Speed ​​Star"!

The attacks from the tail kept hitting Riolu, no matter how much Riolu endured, coupled with Mizuo's strength, he was still sent flying.

"Rioglu!"

"Time up!"

Callum's exclamation and Miss Bai'an's words that symbolized the end of the game time sounded together, and the protective cover of the competition field also disappeared. Callum hurried into the stage of the gorgeous battle and hugged Riolu: " Riolu, is it alright?"

Riolu struggled to get his upper body up in his arms, and gave him a thumbs up: "...Rio!"

"Great..." Callum heaved a sigh of relief, and then looked at the big screen with Riolu.

At this point the results have come out.When the countdown is over and both elves have not lost their ability to fight, the side with more remaining points wins.

The winner is Xiao Shun.

"Rio..." Riolu lowered his head a little disappointed, as if he was reflecting on his mistakes.

"It's not Riolu's fault, you've done a great job." Callum comforted Riolu with a smile, then turned to look at Xiao Shun opposite.

Watching him bow in response to the audience's applause and cheers, nod to the judges, raise the poke ball to retract the ice pokemon, and—

Without even giving him a look, he turned and left.

Callum clenched his fists behind him.

"Rioglu... next time, we won't lose!"

"Rio!"

The author has something to say:

The ice elf is the one from the private rescue team next door... Yes, Xiao Shun finally abducted it [

Well, it’s a pity that the agate can’t be seen_(:з」∠)_

In order to make up for being beaten by soy sauce, Xiao Liang put on a small dress of the monarch snake mode_(:з」∠)_
