Chapter 897 Competing on the same stage

"That direction..." Xiaozhi stood up, eyes full of longing, "It should be the place where Brother Xiayou and Miss Saori fought, right?"

Xiao Gang nodded: "When I looked back earlier, I saw that they were indeed walking in that direction. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be them."

"But..." Xiaosheng asked in surprise, "Isn't this a normal sparring match? Why did it cause such a big commotion?"

Indeed, compared to the battles of ordinary trainers, both the explosion just now and the flames burning in the distance seemed a little too exaggerated.

Even those who don’t know might think something is going on there!

"This is nothing strange. After all, both Brother Xia You and Miss Saori are strong, so how can the noise be small when they fight?" Xiaozhi shrugged, but then sighed, "Oh, I really want to go and see..."

Who isn't?

Several people were anxious and wanted to see what was going on, but because they had already promised Xia You, they could only sit there and watch people running outside the window while they had to sit here and continue waiting for news.

Just at this moment, the flames in the distance seemed to be extinguished by something and disappeared completely in an instant. No flames could be seen anymore, and even the sound of explosions stopped, as if there was complete silence.

Ok?

has it ended?

They didn't know what was going on, so they could only eat while waiting for Xia You to come back.

Fortunately, it didn't take long. Just over ten minutes later, as the door opened, Xia You walked in leisurely.

Xiaozhi couldn't wait to ask first: "Brother Xiayou! Who won between you and Miss Saori?"

Before Xia You could speak, Xiaosheng gave Xiaozhi a cold look.

"Come on, can't you see that? Just look at the smile on Mr. Xia You's face and you'll know!" He turned to look at Xia You and asked, "You won, right?"

Sitting down next to Xiaoyao, Xia You nodded.

"Of course I won. Look who I am! Not everyone can beat me!"

Xiaogang kept looking outside the door, as if waiting for Saori to appear, but after a long time, he didn't see Saori and couldn't help feeling disappointed.

"Where's Ms. Saori? Didn't she come with us?"

Taking the plate from Xiaoyao, Xia You said without even looking up, "Her Slowpoke was injured, so she took the Pokémon directly to the Pokémon Center."

"Um..." Hearing him say that, Xiaozhi asked with bright eyes, "Miss Saori, is she very powerful? The explosion we just heard, was it caused by you guys?"

Thinking of the battle just now, Xia You shook his head and laughed.

"That was the noise caused by my Charizard's jet of flame colliding with Slowpoke's destructive beam. It also accidentally ignited some of the surrounding bushes, but I put it out. As for her strength, compared to ordinary people, she may be very powerful, but she is still too weak in front of my Charizard."

"What?" Xiaozhi pouted, "You're using Charizard? Isn't it already the strongest in the Charizard Canyon? You're using it to fight, isn't that bullying it?"

"I can't help it." Xia You also smiled, "After all, Saori just said that she would use the strongest Pokémon to fight me, so I was thinking that I should at least give her a Pokémon of the same level in return, but I didn't expect..."

At this point, he spread his hands to the others and said, "Although her Slowpoke is pretty powerful, it's no match for Charizard. It fell to the ground after just a few rounds."

"show off!"

Xiaozhi rolled his eyes with envy and amusement, and as the others chuckled, the atmosphere in the room became lively.

Only Xiaoyao couldn't help feeling a little emotional after laughing.

Miss Saori, who is so powerful, is actually vulnerable in front of Brother Xia You. Is this the difference between a coordination trainer and a trainer?

The meal didn't last long because there was a game tomorrow.

By the time they returned to the Pokémon Center dormitory, it was exactly eight o'clock in the evening.

Just when Xiaoyao went back to her room to prepare for tomorrow's battle, and Xiaozhi and Xiaosheng went to the bathroom to wash up, Xiaogang came to Xia You with a guilty and furtive look.

"Mr. Xia You..."

Hearing his hesitant voice, Xia You, who was holding a can of Coke, turned around and saw Xiaogang hesitant to speak, with a hint of shyness on his face, as if he wanted to ask her for something difficult to say.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"Um..." Xiao Gang scratched his cheek with his fingers. Although he was a little embarrassed, he still mustered up the courage to ask, "Excuse me, can you tell me the secret to being popular with girls?"

puff--!

Xia You, who had just poured Coke into her mouth, spit out the cola when she heard these words, spraying Xiao Gang in the face!

When he came to his senses and looked back, he saw that Xiaogang's face was covered with Coke.

"Oh, sorry..." He smiled apologetically, then looked Xiao Gang up and down, "I remember you asked me this question before, right?"

"Yes, it's in the Pokémon Center in the green fields of Johto." Brock nodded, and then, without caring about the cola on his face, he sat down and begged seriously, "Please! I really want to know how to be as popular with girls as you!"

It can be seen that Xiaogang is sincerely asking for advice.

But how should I answer this kind of question?

"Well..." Xia You smiled bitterly, "I remember I told you the answer at that time, right?"

"Yes!" Xiao Gang raised his head. "You told me at the time that as long as I was handsome, girls would naturally like me. But I... I simply couldn't do it... So I believe there must be other ways!"

This guy really doesn't give up...

It seems that I should really answer it properly.

Seeing Xiao Gang so sincere, Xia You couldn't bear it and could only nod and said, "If that's the case, I think the first step is to change your personality that gets aroused when you see a beautiful woman."

"What!?" Hearing this, Xiao Gang was struck hard, with an expression of disbelief, muttering, "Is this how you all see me? But I just share the passion in my heart equally with every big sister who needs love, so that they can feel my broad-minded heart!"

silence.

There was a suffocating silence.

The little bit of sympathy that Xia You had just felt for Xiaogang disappeared in an instant.

After a long silence, he let out a long sigh.

"You are totally hopeless."

……

"Hello everyone! Did you sleep well last night?" Lillian's passionate voice echoed in the venue. She said loudly and energetically, "Today's pace will be very fast, everyone must keep up! From today on, the official competition will begin. The first round will be the review performance stage. A total of 64 contestants will appear one after another to show the charm of Pokémon to the public again. So without further ado, let's get started now!"

As the first contestant in the main competition, Xiao Shun took the stage first.

As we all know, people have high expectations for the opening performance, which greatly increases the pressure on the contestants and affects their performance, but these seem to have no effect on Xiao Shun.

He still looked cool, or rather cocky, as he calmly walked onto the stage.

And his first Pokémon surprised people.

With a flash of blue light, an Absol appeared in front of people.

As for this kind of Pokémon, which people think can bring disasters, I won’t go into details because I have seen it before. But I didn’t expect that the Pokémon sent by Shun would be this one!

This was something he had never used before, so it seemed that Shun had also captured his new Pokémon without people knowing.

The audience was talking about the appearance of this Pokémon. Regardless of the rumors, Absol still looks very handsome, which attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared.

As soon as it appeared, Absol used Flash. In an instant, its entire body was bathed in strong light, and it seemed that even it was shining!

This Absol was undoubtedly showing off its own charm, and after a brief display, at Xiao Shun's command, it used water waves to create a circular water vortex on the stage, and eventually formed a water tornado, surrounding itself in it!

This is not the end. Absol, who was wrapped in the water tornado, used the whirlwind blade with a dozen glowing blades to smash the water tornado into pieces. The water also turned into water droplets in the sky, slowly falling around Absol, setting off its body.

The audience applauded loudly, it was a wonderful performance, even Xiaoyao couldn't help but applaud.

Xiao Shun's performance, as stable and superb as ever, also won him a very high score.

This is not surprising.

In fact, to put it bluntly, what Absol just performed were all common Pokémon moves. How to make them exciting and clever, and then combine these moves together, has become the job of these coordinating trainers.

Xiao Shun is one of those people who has more ideas and talents.

Amid the cheers of the people, Shun and Absol bowed and then calmly walked off the stage.

After he left the stage, several other contestants came on stage to perform, and soon, it was Harry's turn.

Fortunately, Harry did not dress up as Xiaoyao again today, which made Xia You's eyes feel better. After all, that kind of cross-dressing was really eye-catching, and neither the audience nor Xiaoyao herself wanted to see it again.

Harry's partner in this round is his Octopus, which is also Harry's old Pokémon. After coming on the court, Octopus directly used Flame Explosion, but its next move made the audience dumbfounded!

After the big word "explosion" was used, a raging fire started on the ground, instantly burning the place red. In the midst of such flames, the octopus barrel jumped into it, and twisted inside against the heat!

only……

Seeing this scene, Xia You couldn't help but frown.

How should I put it? Thanks to the water-type Pokémon's resistance to fire, this kind of dancing in the fire did have an unexpected effect and was an eye-opener for the audience.

But this picture looked a bit bad no matter how you looked at it, and Xia You couldn't help but think of a snack - grilled octopus!

No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit miserable.

I really don't know where Harry got the inspiration from.

In short, with this self-mutilation performance, Harry took a different approach and also got a higher score.

After Shun and Harry, it was soon Saori's turn to appear.

At this moment, she had a confident and calm look on her face, as if she was not shaken at all by the failure of last night's battle. Instead, she took the initiative to release her recovered Slowpoke. With her cooperation, it was as if she was on an ice rink, using the spiral shell on Slowpoke's tail, and under the wrapping of telekinesis, she kept gliding on the field!

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

In a word, it’s fun and beautiful!

Finally, Slowpoke used the water gun while standing upside down and used its excellent sense of balance to perform a water dance, which ended successfully.

Although this performance was not as stunning as yesterday's preliminaries, Slowpoke's control of its own strength still allowed it to get the highest score of the game!

Like Xiao Shun, Saori's performance is as stable as ever!

Finally, after the three strong opponents finished their performances, in the second half of the game, Xiaoyao finally came on the court.

For a moment, not only Xia You, Xiaozhi, Xiaosheng and other relatives and friends, but even Xiaoshun, Saori and Harry, all set their eyes on Xiaoyao. It can be said that in the eyes of the latter three, Xiaoyao is undoubtedly an opponent that cannot be underestimated, and everyone has reasons to pay attention to her!

It is worth mentioning that when introducing Xiaoyao, Lillian used the term "dancing girl from Hoenn" to describe Xiaoyao for the first time.

Maybe she just wanted to introduce Xiaoyao as a player from Hoenn, and mentioned it casually, but no matter what, it was this introduction, although it was just an unintentional act, that gave Xiaoyao another title - Hoenn Dancer.

Xiaoyao's partner this time is her little Snorlax.

And now on this stage, she finally got to show off the moves that she had practiced every day in Yuanzhu City and had already mastered!

It is worth mentioning that Xiaoyao has actually practiced her own performance items with each of her Pokémon, but due to limited opportunities, she cannot let every Pokémon perform on stage, so she can only decide who to send out based on the situation.

And this time, she chose Snorlax.

As soon as he came on the field, under Xiaoyao's command, Snorlax used Solar Beam.

I saw powerful energy slowly gathering in Snorlax's mouth, and finally condensed into a ball of light and shot into the sky.

At this moment, Snorlax jumped high and used the Chi Punch to hit the light ball of the Sunbeam. In an instant, as the Chi Punch shattered the Sunbeam and the broken sunlight filled the stadium, a pleasant sound suddenly echoed in every corner of the stadium!
