Chapter 131 A Perfectly Coordinated Performance, Carlos's Audience?
"Jump up!"
"Pickup!"
To everyone's astonishment, Pikachu concentrated all its strength in its hind legs, and after less than a second of charging up, it leaped into the air.
And what's even more surprising is...
Although Brill is a Pokémon known for its jumping ability, and this jump clearly used all its strength.
However, Pikachu, which came from behind, jumped as high as Brillant, but it's unclear whether Pikachu used all its strength, as it ultimately only stopped on Brillant's path.
"Iron Tail!"
After Ash gave the command, Pikachu extended its metallic tail, but instead of lashing it out, it carefully placed it at the feet of Frizzy.
"Meow!"
Curly Ear landed on the iron tail, then jumped again with force. With the help of the double jump, Curly Ear even reached the highest position above all the audience seats.
"boom!"
Meanwhile, Pikachu landed on the stage, its Iron Tail slashing the ground and kicking up a shower of pebbles.
Performances of strength are not common in the first round of the Grand Contest, but Hikari did not abandon the inspiration she gained from her dream.
All I heard was her shout:
"Now! Freeze Ray!"
"Electromagnetic waves!"
This time, Ash and Dawn's voices rang out simultaneously once again.
The pebbles that were about to fall to the ground suddenly seemed to be guided by something, all of them levitating in mid-air and beginning to change into a specific shape under the influence of electromagnetic waves.
"Meow!"
Just as the audience recognized the shape that Pikachu had specially shaped from the pebbles, the Ice Beam fell.
The gravel, enveloped by electromagnetic waves, began to rapidly solidify under the effect of the freezing light, and soon the stones were frozen into crystal-clear ice blocks.
The pebbles inside the ice block formed a heart shape, and even without the control of electromagnetic waves, they did not fall due to the effect of the freezing light.
Although Pikachu no longer uses electromagnetic waves, the bursts of electric arcs are frozen inside the ice along with the Freeze Ray. The shimmering golden arcs and the snow-white ice complement each other, creating a beautiful and novel sight.
Finally, Curly-ear landed safely, and Pikachu jumped onto the ice block inside, which was sparkling with electric arcs.
They stood on either side of a heart made of ice, holding hands as they thanked the audience and judges.
......
I like this!
"What a great performance! Pikachu's strength and Brill's specialties were all brought to the fullest... What's most surprising is that neither the two performers nor the Pokémon made any mistakes in such a complex duo performance, right?"
"Both the trainers and the Pokémon can clearly feel the chemistry between them."
"Excellent! A flawless performance! Amazing!"
Xiao Guang and Xiao Zhi's performance received unanimous praise from the judges, and their scores quickly appeared on the big screen.
91.5 points.
This is the first score above 90, and it's on a stage with even stricter vetting.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ash and Dawn should be virtually guaranteed to advance to the second round of the competition.
.......
After the two finished playing, Kengo, who disliked Ash, and Nozomi, who had previously had a slight disagreement with them, both offered their congratulations in the lounge.
After watching the two perform, Xiaowang gradually realized that he had been too domineering and misunderstood Xiaozhi.
As for Kengo... all he has in his heart is the desire to defeat Ash and Dawn on this stage.
.......
At this very moment, in the Carlos region, thousands of miles away.
In Asaka Town, in a detached villa.
On the first floor, a woman with her coat wrapped around her waist was stirring the bubbling soup in a pot while watching the live broadcast of the Yukino Tournament on TV.
After Ash and Dawn finished their performance and the judges gave their scores, she couldn't help but sigh:
"Wow, that's amazing... They look so young, yet they can put on such a well-coordinated performance? Their chemistry and the content of their performance are just like a couple's... Hey~ do you want to come and watch?"
After shouting this, the woman turned her gaze to her daughter on the other side, who was now only showing her an angry back.
"don't want--"
When asked this question, the daughter replied with great dissatisfaction.
"Compared to that, my face is in terrible shape! I'm going back to my room to rest now!"
"Ah...haha..."
Being complained about like this by her own daughter, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
After all, if we had to pinpoint the cause of her daughter's facial injuries, she was partly to blame... But! If only she had tried a little harder and mastered the skill of piloting the armored rhinoceros!
So the fault doesn't lie with her!
"Really not going to come and watch? This match is really exciting, it's getting a lot of attention from all sides, and it's even being broadcast across the entire region."
"I said I don't want it, and that's it! I'm not interested in those competitions anyway!"
The girl persisted in her stance.
But—
The woman, somewhat weary and bent over, said with a helpless expression:
"You're not interested in any profession, are you? You're almost old enough to travel alone... You should at least have a goal or something, right? Wouldn't it be better to shine in front of everyone like those two kids on TV? If nothing unexpected happens, those two should be the hottest figures in the Sinnoh region for the next while."
"Well....."
Having said that, the girl couldn't continue the conversation.
After all, she really didn't have any dreams, or rather, she couldn't find anything she wanted to do.
She had always been forced by her mother to train to ride armored rhinoceroses, but it seemed that she had nothing else to do besides that.
What I should say...
Desserts and outfits?
do not know.
While I'm interested, it's too early to say whether this interest can become a career...
"Right, you know that yourself, don't you?"
The woman shrugged helplessly and changed the subject back.
"Since you don't have any goals anyway, it doesn't matter what you look at, right? Why not see how outstanding your peers are? Since you're not interested in the Grand Contest, why not look at their amazing teamwork, like a married couple? Maybe after watching, you'll... Hey? Serena? Let me finish."
"goodbye--"
The girl named Serena ultimately chose not to watch the grand competition with her mother; instead, she opted to return to her room and live a leisurely life.
Perhaps it's because she's not interested in couples in front of the camera.
The only person she has ever truly missed has always been one person.
Perhaps one day in the future, when the girl finally sets off on a solo journey, her first stop will be Pallet Town in the Kanto region?
