Chapter 752 Xiaoyao's Magnificent Celebration Road

When Xiaoxia returned to the dormitory where she and Xiaoyao lived, she was still a little angry.

Of course, she was not angry with Xia You, she was just angry that she did not keep an eye on him, allowing Liuqia to find an opportunity to take advantage of!

Seeing Xiaoxia sitting on the bed, still sulking, Xiaoyao didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.

"That..." Xiaoyao tried to persuade him after thinking for a while, "What happened today was just an accident. After all, no one knew that Lucia would appear here. You can't be blamed for being careless. Think about it on the bright side. She will leave after the grand celebration is over, right? Then we won't be able to see her again."

It's no secret that Xiaoxia likes Xia You. Everyone around her can see it, even the nerd Xiaosheng knows it clearly.

Just hearing her say that, Xiaoxia became even more discouraged.

She said helplessly: "There are some things you don't know. After my trip to the Hoenn region, I will return to the Cerulean Gym. Xia Youge will continue his trip to Sinnoh, and Lukia will also be performing there. I am very worried..."

Even though she didn't finish her words, Xiaoyao knew what she was worried about.

I'm just worried that Xia You will be snatched away.

She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to start.

Yes, I am not around, so who knows what happened at that time? No amount of comfort will be of any use in the face of the unknown.

Xiaoxia sighed, leaned against the wall, looked up at the ceiling, and said helplessly: "Oh, if only I could continue traveling..."

……

"Ladies and gentlemen! Now, in Kaina City, the celebration of the coordinators' dreams, the Pokémon Tournament - the grand celebration is finally taking place!"

In an open-air venue that can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, the female host Vivian, dressed in a red dress, stood in the center of the venue holding a microphone, announcing the start of this annual grand conference.

As the most popular female host in the gorgeous conference, her presence is almost always present at regular conferences or celebrations like this one.

Her blonde hair, blue eyes, sweet looks, and passionate, penetrating voice added a touch of beauty to the celebration!

Today is the first day of the competition, and as described in the manual, 247 people will be selected from the 64 people in the preliminaries to enter the next round through competition.

Holding popcorn in hand, Xia You, Xiaoxia, Xiaozhi and the others sat in the front row of the audience, enjoying the event from a close distance with a leisurely look on their faces.

Even Xiaoyao, because her competition was later, temporarily sat with them.

It was only at this point that they had a general understanding of the strength of these players and saw some familiar faces.

First of all, for Xia You, since he had only attended one tournament and knew little about those coordination trainers, when the trials began, he only met one person he knew, and that was Robert!

The man who had defeated Shun and won the championship in the Kaina Conference was the second to go on stage, and his performance was as elegant as ever. In the preliminaries, he still used that Milotic and won 98 points with his excellent and gorgeous performance. This is an extremely high score, and such a performance naturally won the applause of the audience!

This also made Xiaoyao a little worried.

"His performance is still as good as ever..." Xia You couldn't help but sigh, "98 points, it's almost a perfect score. So, if nothing unexpected happens, Robert should make it to the end, and he will be the biggest obstacle for you to win this time."

Xiaoyao nodded. She had no doubt about this.

She even knew that compared to this person, she was too immature in every aspect.

But even so, she was still very confident in herself. After all, she had already obtained five ribbon medals, which proved that she was no worse than anyone else!

After Robert, four more coordination trainers came out, and their performances were also very good. In fact, all of them were people who had won five ribbon medals, so how bad could they be? Although there was a certain gap between them and people like Robert, everyone's performance was equally wonderful.

After that, it was Xiao Shun's turn to appear on the stage.

Shun's partner is still his Poison Rose. This Pokémon sprinkled a large amount of petals rain on the stage and also shined brightly, winning Shun a high score of 95 points.

These are the only two players who have scored over 95 points so far.

Gudong.

Xiaoyao swallowed unconsciously. It was obvious that she was under increasing pressure.

"Don't be nervous." Because they were sitting very close, Xia You couldn't help but comfort him, "Don't worry about them, just give full play to your full strength. As long as you can do your best, even if you win in the end, it will be a huge growth."

The reason for saying this is that, despite this grand celebration, Xiaoyao did not win the championship in the end. This also gave her a shot of prevention in advance to prevent the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

After hearing his words, Xiaoyao's restless heart finally calmed down a little.

Turning to look at the man who had won two regional tournaments, she couldn't help but ask, "Were you also nervous when you first attended the Pokémon Convention?"

"Then you've found the wrong reference." Before Xia You could speak, Xiao Zhi said with a smile, "I've never seen a nervous look on Brother Xia You's face!"

I touched my nose and could only say that Xiaoyao really shouldn't compare herself to others.

Although I was also nervous when I attended conferences before, it was not as obvious as her.

It can even be said that I was not nervous just because I entered the finals, and what I was nervous about was not my opponent, but the championship that was about to be in my hands!

That is the joy that comes from the depths of the soul for the victory that is about to be achieved!

The people around him all chuckled, and after hearing Xiaozhi's words, Xiaoyao knew that he had asked the wrong person, and could only smile bitterly and turn his attention back to the competition field.

After more than a dozen contestants came on stage, it was Xia You's turn to face the strange man named Harry whom she met yesterday.

His Pokémon is a Dream Song Cactus, a humanoid Pokémon that is green all over and shaped like a cactus. It has many dark green bumps on its body and looks a bit like a scarecrow.

When people saw this Pokémon, they realized why Harry was dressed like that. It turns out that in terms of image, this man and the Pokémon are consistent!

This Dreamsong Cactus performed a Seed Machine Gun, completing its performance at an extremely fast speed and ultimately earning Harry a score of 84.

84 points, although not as good as Xiao Shun and Robert’s scores, it is already a relatively good result.

At least compared to the other coordination trainers, there shouldn't be any problem entering the next round.

At this time, Xiaoyao had been notified backstage to prepare to go on stage. Xiaoyao took a deep breath and stood up from the audience.

"Sister, come on!"

"Xiaoyao, show your best side!"

Xia You and others gave encouragement, and Xiaoyao smiled at them before leaving the audience and heading towards the contestant passage.

But looking at her back, Xiaoxia frowned and said worriedly, "Why does it look like her steps are a little heavy?"

"Don't worry." Xiaozhi didn't care about it and smiled, "Xiaoyao is very powerful, just trust her."

Indeed, compared to Xia You and Xiao Xia, whom they only met occasionally, Xiao Zhi and his friends obviously had more say about Xiao Yao's performance. Since they all thought it was okay, there was nothing for others to worry about.

It didn't take long before several contestants came on stage and it was finally Xiaoyao's turn.

It can be seen that although Xiaoyao is still wearing her usual clothes, she has a faint smile on her face and walks calmly to the center of the venue.

But this mentality has improved a lot compared to when she first participated in the gorgeous competition.

This is why Xia You has always held the view of traveling more. Only by seeing more of the world and experiencing more things can one achieve tremendous growth. It is absolutely not advisable to be confined to a comfortable environment and be complacent at an age when one should be traveling.

"Then please enjoy the performance brought by contestant Xiaoyao!"

With Vivian's introduction, Xiaoyao's competition officially began.

After a gorgeous spin, Xiaoyao released her hunting swallowtail butterfly. Once it appeared, the hunting swallowtail butterfly flapped its wings and sprinkled powder on the stage, which sparkled golden in the sunlight, like a golden rain.

Just by appearing on the stage, Xiaoyao achieved a good effect.

There was applause from the audience. Although it was not the loudest, it also represented people's recognition of Xiaoyao.

It can also be seen from this that the bigger the competition, especially when it comes to such critical scores, the players will only use their most trusted partners. No one dares to use other Pokémon at will. Once they don't take it seriously and make mistakes, they will be at risk of being eliminated!

As expected, just like the Pokémon Conference, even though the nature is different, it still needs to be treated with caution.

The performance of Xiaoyao and the Hunting Butterfly is still going on. The Hunting Butterfly is dancing in the air, sprinkling powder one after another, like an endless golden rain, and then a silver whirlwind is cast, bringing the atmosphere to a climax. Finally, when the performance ends, the Hunting Butterfly lands on Xiaoyao's arm, and the man and the Pokémon posed, and the curtain fell.

Applause broke out again in the audience. While Xia You and the others were clapping, they couldn't help but look at the big screen.

It is worth mentioning that the judges of this grand celebration are not Miss Joy, Sukisawa of the Audiophile Club and Mr. Konkenstein, the Director of Affairs, but one man and two women, who are more authoritative expert judges in this field!

Although the status of these three people is not as high as that of Sukisato and Kangkens, their vision is more sharp and more neutral. Under their gaze, people still agree with the scores they give.

After consideration by these three people, they finally gave a total score of 88 points.

This score is very close to 90, which not only represents the judges' recognition of Xiaoyao, but also allows Xiaoyao to surpass many competitors, even the one named Harry. Judging from the performance of all the previous contestants, advancing to the next round is undoubtedly a foregone conclusion.

This also made Xia You and his group feel relieved, especially Xiaoyao's mother Mitsuko, who breathed a sigh of relief.

As a mother, she was naturally more nervous than anyone else, and she hoped that her daughter would have a wonderful performance on such a stage.

After Xiaoyao left the stage, Xia You and the others stood up and rushed to the backstage.

Because each contestant only has one or two minutes of stage performance time, it will take at least nine hours for all the contestants combined, including their entrances and exits, to complete their performances. This is not only a huge test for the judges, but also for the audience, who have changed several times.

For such a long performance, most people would only pick those that they are interested in. Just like now, after Xiaoyao left the stage, Xia You and the others naturally had no intention of continuing to watch. They just needed to wait until the preliminaries were over and then pay attention to the list of qualifiers.

After leaving the stadium, the few of them met Xiaoyao who was walking towards them on the road.

No matter whether it was Mitsuko, Misty or Satoshi, they all praised her, and they praised her until Xiaoyao felt embarrassed, and then they finally stopped.

Just at this moment, Harry appeared out of nowhere and suddenly approached Xiaoyao from behind with a bright smile on his face.

"That's really amazing!" He exaggeratedly said, his tone was both flattering and inexplicable, "It looks like there will be no problem getting into the official competition!"

Xiaoyao was startled by him, but seeing that he came to congratulate her, she could only compliment him in the same way: "You too, Mr. Harry, your score is also relatively high, so you will definitely have no problem entering the finals."

"No." Harry waved his hands quickly, still smiling, "Your Silver Tornado is really amazing! I hope you can continue to use it in the next game!"

Hearing him mention the Silver Cyclone, Xiaoyao thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, it's really thanks to Mr. Harry's advice, I will continue to use it!"

"That's settled then. Goodbye!"

Leaving this sentence, Harry walked away quickly again. Looking at his back, Xiaoyao and the others didn't take it seriously and were about to move on, but Xia You suddenly spoke at this time.

"Xiaoyao, you'd better stay away from that man."

Hearing his words, Xiaoyao was stunned: "Huh? Why do you say that?"

"This man gives people a very sinister feeling. His suggestion just now seems to be for your own good, but in fact, I don't know what bad idea he has. Just like he repeatedly mentioned the silver whirlwind, it is definitely not as simple as it seems."

"Sure enough! Even Mr. Xia You saw it!" Xiaosheng nodded in agreement, "I told my sister before that this man is very bad and we can't trust him easily. Now even Mr. Xia You said so, then this must be the case!"

Xiaoyao could choose not to listen to Xiaosheng's advice, but she couldn't ignore Xia You's words.

"I understand." She nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will be careful of him!"
