Chapter 894: Grand Celebration of Kanto Conference

After chatting casually with Saori for a while, we added each other's contact information and then went our separate ways.

After all, they only met because of Xiao Shun and Xiao Gang, but Xiao Shun is not their friend, and Saori doesn't pay much attention to Xiao Gang, so naturally they don't have many common topics to talk about.

However, I can still hear from Saori's words that she also cares about Xiaoyao.

It seems that when Shun was chatting with her, he must have talked about Xiaoyao with Saori, and made her feel that Xiaoyao was unusual.

After leaving the coffee shop, Xia You and a few others accompanied Xiaoyao to take a look at the venue and got a general understanding of the layout and stage there, which would be of help to Xiaoyao's performance tomorrow.

However, just as Xiaoyao was looking around the venue, Xia You saw that she looked relaxed and couldn't help but remind her.

"Be careful of that woman just now."

Hearing him mention Saori again, Xiaoyao couldn't help but look over in surprise.

"Ms. Saori? What happened to her?"

"Haven't you figured it out yet?" Xia You shook her head and said, "She will also participate in this Grand Celebration, and she's the one who defeated Xiao Shun before, so she's naturally one of the strongest. Probably... she's about the same as Robert, the winner of the Grand Celebration you first participated in."

Xiaoyao frowned, remembering that Xiaoshun had also warned her before leaving.

"It seems that this opponent who even Shun couldn't beat is indeed a strong enemy..."

"More than that." Xia You smiled, "If nothing unexpected happens, your biggest opponent in this festival should be Saori, and if everything goes well, you should meet her in the finals."

"Eh?" Xiaoyao was stunned, "Do you think I can defeat Xiaoshun?"

There is actually a reason why Xiaoyao asked this question.

After all, she had been defeated by Xiao Shun before, and everyone has witnessed Xiao Shun's strength. He is not only very strong, but also has a calm personality. Not to mention that he has grown a lot during this period of time. Therefore, even Xiao Yao herself was not sure when facing Xiao Shun again. Even before this, she had always regarded Xiao Shun as her biggest rival.

Seeing that she was so weak, Xia You couldn't help but tap her head gently.

"Where's the confidence you had when you first came here?" He said helplessly, rolling his eyes at Xiaoyao. "You've been traveling with me for a while, and you've received secret special training from Xiaojuan and the others. If you can still be defeated by Xiaoshun, you're really stupid!"

Xiaoyao stuck out his tongue.

"Hey, I know. I just said that. Don't worry. I will definitely get a better result this time!"

"That's right, show your courage like before!"

……

Compared to yesterday, there are more and more tourists in the city at this time.

Many places are even crowded with people, but this also makes this place extremely lively.

Not only the spectators and tourists, but also the contestants were all present on this day.

At night, when they returned to the Pokémon Center, they found that it was crowded.

Hundreds of people gathered together, even if they were talking in a low voice, making the place seem extremely noisy and chaotic.

Naturally, they also saw many familiar figures.

It can be seen that a considerable number of contestants were opponents that Xiaoyao had met in previous conferences. Obviously, although these people lost at that time, they also collected five ribbon medals through other conferences and finally came here.

Although she couldn't name any of them, there were still a few people who left a deep impression on Xiaoyao.

Just looking at their expressions, everyone looks very serious.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they finally found an empty table. They sat down quickly and had their dinner here.

Maybe it was because he drank too much juice, Xiaosheng had just finished eating and hurriedly covered his stomach and ran to the bathroom. But when he came back, he was holding a black rose in his hand.

Everyone was very surprised to see this flower.

Xiaozhi even asked directly: "This is the first time I've seen a black rose. Xiaosheng, where did you pick it up?"

"I didn't pick this up." Xiaosheng laughed, "I just came out of the bathroom and someone asked me to give it to my sister!"

As he spoke, he turned around and pointed behind him. Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a strange man in a cloak, wrapping himself tightly, walking quickly into the crowd and disappearing without a trace.

"That person..." Xiaozhi scratched his head, then thought of something and couldn't help but smile, "I know! That person must be Xiaoyao's admirer. Because he couldn't get close to Xiaoyao, he asked Xiaosheng to send flowers!"

"Suitors?"

Xiaosheng also suddenly realized, and then smiled and handed the black rose in his hand to Xiaoyao.

"I didn't expect that someone would like a woman like my sister!"

Xiaoyao blushed: "What nonsense are you talking about..."

Although she felt a little embarrassed, when she saw the black rose in front of her, she subconsciously stretched out her hand and wanted to take it.

However, when his hand was halfway extended, Xia You suddenly grabbed his wrist and he was unable to move forward.

"Eh?"

She looked at Xia You in confusion, not understanding why Xia You stopped her.

Is it...

She even suddenly had an idea!

Could it be that Brother Xia You doesn't want me to accept flowers sent by others! ?

Just thinking of this, her face suddenly turned red, and she felt her heart beating wildly!

But the next second, Xia You opened her mouth and the fluttering heart in her heart was suppressed.

"I've been fooled so many times, but I didn't expect you to be so forgetful." Looking at Xiaoyao helplessly, Xia You sighed, "If it was any other time, it would be fine, but in a place like this, giving someone something of unknown significance, and dressing yourself up in a furtive way, I don't need to think about it, I know that only one person would do such a thing, right?"

After hearing what he said, Xiaoyao, Xiaozhi and the others changed their expressions, and then they thought of someone at the same time.

Harry!

That’s right, this is indeed something only he can do!

And the figure just now, although wrapped tightly, did look very much like Harry in terms of figure shape!

Most importantly, if he has no ulterior motives, why would he hide himself?

Thinking of this, Xiaoyao quickly retracted his arm.

And at this moment, perhaps it was the time, or some mechanism was triggered, the petals of the black rose in Xiaosheng's hand suddenly bounced up and exploded in all directions, revealing the spring inside!

Xiaosheng was startled by this sudden change and subconsciously let go of the rose, causing it to fall to the ground.

Seeing this, everyone understood that someone was indeed teasing Xiaoyao!

"Damn it, it really is a prank!"

Xiaozhi frowned immediately and said he was going to settle the score with Harry, but when he turned around, there was no trace of Harry in the crowded crowd.

"This is the only trick he has left." Xia You didn't seem angry at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "The more Harry uses this method, the more it shows that he clearly feels that he can no longer beat Xiaoyao on the front battlefield, so he keeps using this method. Think about it, what would he do in the past?"

Xiaosheng said without thinking: "Of course I appeared in front of my sister with a proud look..."

At this point, he also realized that if it were the usual Harry, he would either come to Xiaoyao with a smug look and provoke her, or pretend to be innocent.

But Harry didn't do that now. If it wasn't a sudden change of personality, then he was harboring worse ideas, or he didn't have the confidence to appear in front of them!

"It must be because of Mr. Xia You." Xiao Sheng laughed, "Didn't Harry lose face in front of you before? Now that you are here, how dare he show up!"

"This has nothing to do with me." Xia You shook her head. "With Harry's personality and thick skin, even if I'm here, as long as I don't take the initiative to provoke me, it doesn't make any difference to him. What really makes him feel uncomfortable is that as Xiaoyao's strength grows, he feels that he can no longer control her!"

After hearing what he said, Xiaosheng and the others thought about it and it seemed... that it was indeed the case.

But no matter what, since Harry is here, he should be careful.

……

Competition day, Pokémon Celebration Competition venue.

Compared to the venue of the Pokémon Convention, the venue of the magnificent celebration is more like a huge circular barrel warehouse surrounded by four small barrel warehouses. It looks a bit low-end and small in scale.

But the number of spectators that can be accommodated inside is not small at all!

The venue was in a stepped shape, divided into more than a dozen areas, and each area was filled with enthusiastic and excited audiences, who were all welcoming this annual grand event!

Xiaozhi was lucky and grabbed a good seat for himself and his group, so he could watch the game up close without having to watch the details on a big screen like most of the audience.

All I can say is that sometimes he is very unlucky, but sometimes, he seems to be surrounded by good luck.

He is indeed the protagonist of the world!

This also allowed Xia You to benefit from it.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the female host Lillian, wearing a tube top, a blue miniskirt and a casual sporty outfit, walked onto the stage.

"The Pokémon and Coordinator Trainers' love celebration, the Pokémon Competition, is what everyone has been looking forward to for a long time - the Grand Celebration Quartz Conference, is about to begin!"

As Lillian finished her impassioned words, the sound of salutes rang out outside the venue, and inside the venue there was thunderous applause and cheers!

It can be said that just this simple sentence completely livened up the atmosphere!

This is the charm of the conference!

Even Xiaozhi beside Xia You became excited. Xia You just turned around and saw him clenching his fists, his body shaking with excitement, as if he couldn't wait to join in!

Seeing him like this, Xia You couldn't help but feel amused.

"If you're so envious, why didn't you join in? It's on the way anyway, and maybe you can really collect all five forging medals."

"Forget it." Xiaozhi rubbed his nose and smiled embarrassedly, "It's better to participate occasionally. I still have to aim to be a Pokémon Master, so of course I can't be distracted!"

In fact, there was one more thing he didn't say, which was that if he wasted his energy at the Grand Conference, he would inevitably be left further and further behind by Xia You, which was unacceptable for him who had Xia You as his target!

At this time, when the atmosphere in the venue cooled down a little, Lillian continued: "This time, a total of 270 people gathered in this venue to gamble on the honor of being the top Pokémon coordinator trainer! And the reward for the one who can stand at the top is--"

As she pointed to the side, she saw a huge golden trophy shining brightly under the spotlight!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"——The luxurious ribbon trophy that symbolizes the highest honor for a Coordinator Trainer! At the same time, you will join the ranks of top Coordinator Trainers!!"

Just like Lillian said, whether it is the trophy or the title of top coordination trainer, it is indeed the dream of countless coordination trainers, and there is only one person who can seize this opportunity.

It can be said that the person who stands out from the 270 contestants is undoubtedly the strongest among the strong and is worthy of this honor.

After introducing these, Lillian introduced the judges of this event.

There are four main judges this time.

Needless to say, two of them are the fixed NPCs, the director of the Grand Prix Affairs Bureau, Konkenstein, who never misses a game, and Sukisa, the president of the Pokémon Fans Club.

These two can be said to be the constant referees in conferences that come and go. Their presence is always there no matter where the conference is, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

As for the third one, it is Miss Joy, whose appearance has changed but her face remains the same, and who is said to have dozens of sisters sharing the same face!

The only difference might be that this time Miss Joy is not the Miss Joy from the Pokémon Center in this town, but the one who came from Yuhong City.

Of course, this is not difficult to understand. After all, Miss Joy here also has to treat the injuries of the injured Pokémon in the second round of battle review, so she must stay in the treatment room.

Next, it was the last referee's turn.

When they saw the face that was almost identical to the host Lillian, Xia You and the others immediately recognized that this was the host of the gorgeous conference far away in the Hoenn region, and also Lillian's twin sister - Vivian!

No one expected that Vivian would be able to travel across the ocean and come to Kanto to serve as a judge at the conference.

Needless to say, she must have been invited by her sister Lillian to come here.

The two sisters appearing on the same stage at this time also allow people to clearly see the differences in their temperaments and habits.

"Okay, the introduction session ends here!" Lillian smiled and shouted, "Then, as the first stage of today's preliminaries, the Charming Stage Performance, let's begin now!"
