The performances of Jessie and Cacturne have begun.
As soon as it started, Cacturne used Needle Arm and Slash to show the audience its superb technology, cutting a long White Radish into the shape of a tall tower.
How to put it this way, this move is the same as May and Combusken throwing Flying Disc just now. It has the same effect but shows the superb personal ability of Cacturne. This performance also won rounds of applause for Cacturne.
After a smooth opening, Jessie started the next performance.
I saw Cacturne launching countless Cotton Spores into the sky, just like dandelions Levitates in the sky. Then I used Bullet Seed to sweep a large area and instantly shattered these Spores, and rained down smaller, snowflake-like cotton wadding all over the sky, creating a scene like Mews!
It can only be said that Cacturne of Harley is certainly very powerful and has the first-class level of Grand Festival, but equally, Jessie's command and conception are equally outstanding.
The two of them really complement each other, and there is no discomfort caused by replacing Pokémon Trainer.
From this point of view, Jessie is really a genius!
And such a performance naturally brought Jessie the second highest score after May.
Although the schedule is not over halfway, the performance of May and Jessie completely surpassed the performance of other players, and the subsequent contestants will hardly have higher scores than them. This also means that the first round of review has not yet ended, but the two Lock-On have also qualified for the promotion spot ahead of schedule.
This is undoubtedly good news for May and Jessie, but for the other remaining players, it doubles their pressure.
There are more than a hundred people, but they can only compete for the remaining six places. You can imagine how fierce the competition will be.
But this has nothing to do with May.
Seeing that even the popular player Fairy Jessie Bian couldn't surpass him, May couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
For her, as long as she can survive the first round of Performance Evaluation safely.
After all, I have been traveling with Xia You for more than a day or two. I have learned some skills from him, and my style is getting closer to Xia You. Even Pokémon's strength is steadily improving. It can be said that once entering the battle, with her experience and Pokémon's own strength, she will not be eliminated so easily.
The game continues in full swing.
Because there were so many players, Performance Evaluation took an extra long time in the first round.
But no matter how many players there are, there will always be a moment when the competition is over, but it just drags the time until the afternoon.
Fortunately, although it took a long time, eight contestants for the second round were finally decided.
As the screen on Giant Screen turned, Xia You saw May at a glance. Unsurprisingly, it won the highest score and advanced to first place. Jessie also entered the second round with fourth place.
I have to talk about the performance just now.
Although Jessie also achieved high scores at that time, there were so many players who also performed well, and they resisted the pressure and pushed her to fourth place!
But again, regardless of where you enter the second round, as long as you can enter Battle Evaluation, it is already the best result.
Because time was tight, I just took a short break and the second round started immediately.
Judging from the grouping situation, May and Jessie were not grouped together, but were divided into separate sides. Even if they can Successful Advancement, they will have to wait until the finals to finally meet.
From this point of view, the final of this conference should also be held between them.
Just when Xia You went to Restroom, the battle had already begun when he came back.
However, the first battle was not between May and Jessie, but between two other players. This is why Xia You dared to leave at will. After the two players decided the winner, it was May's turn to appear.
May's opponent in this round is a handsome young man with a relatively mature temperament. Facing this young man's Skarmory, May sent out her Squirtle to challenge.
Even though Squirtle is still in its initial stage, it was obtained from Professor Oak after May arrived at Kanto. It is still a bit timid, but its strength has grown quite quickly. Facing the body of Skarmory The powerful opponent whose quality was superior to his own did not flinch at all. Instead, under the command of May, he used Withdraw to avoid Skarmory's attack, and then used Rapid Spin to counter Skarmory, gaining the advantage.
If Brock were here, he would definitely see that the current May has become more and more inclined to the combat style of Xia You, which is calm and unhurried. It was originally somewhat similar to Ash, but now there is not even a trace of it.
This style is neither good nor bad, it just depends on what kind of Pokémon Trainer suits it. But now it seems that the improvement over May is quite big, and it no longer has the frizzy feeling of Ash.
However, Pokémon Trainer, who was able to break into the second round among more than a hundred players, is obviously not a weakling.
Although I underestimated Squirtle and suffered a big loss, after adjusting, I slowly stabilized the situation.
It's just that May is no longer what it used to be.
Although Squirtle looks harmless to humans and animals, it is much stronger than the ordinary Pokémon.
Not only does it have attack moves like Bubble and Water Gun, but it can also perform Ice Beam. It was with this move that Skarmory froze its wings when it passed by, making it unable to maintain its balance and causing it to fall on the stage.
It was also by taking advantage of this opportunity that he defeated Skarmory in one fell swoop with his more compact and flexible movements.
In the auditorium, Xia You applauded together with the surrounding audience.
As Pokémon Trainer is also a companion who gets along day and night, Xia You can naturally clearly feel the progress of May, and of course she is well aware that she is Mimic herself and taking the same route as herself.
Just...
A completely different growth path from the one in the anime, Xia You doesn't know what May will become in the end.
Will he become the female version of himself?
But one thing is for sure, taking May with you and feeling her changes also made Xia You experience the joy of nurturing.
This is a completely different feeling than when cultivating Pokémon.
It also made Xia You instantly understand why the former top Pokémon Coordinator and the current Pokémon breeder Youwu asked Brock and Mihua to be their coaches during the last Pokémon Contest.
Watching May become stronger little by little, he did have an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.
After May, it's Jessie's turn.
The Pokémon she reviewed in this round were just like the previous round. They were not her own Pokémon, but Banette of Harley.
It seems that these guys really got it together.
But despite this, Xia You did not take the initiative, but waited and waited.
After all, he also knew that with Team Rocket Trio's courage, he would not dare to play any tricks in front of him, so no matter how Harley encouraged them, Harley himself would definitely suffer in the end.
Of course, this is not blind arrogance, but out of confidence in one's own strength, and also out of understanding of Team Rocket Trio.
When my thoughts returned to the field, Jessie's performance had already begun.
Just like the previous Cacturne, the cooperation between Jessie and Banette is quite tacit, and the command is also very smooth, without any resistance.
On the one hand, Harley must have had an account of his Pokémon, but on the other hand, Jessie has a certain affinity for these Pokémon, just like James.
With Banette's outstanding strength, Jessie didn't even have any command. Of course, she actually didn't know how to command and couldn't command anything. Banette easily defeated her opponent just by relying on her own understanding of the battle.
This also allowed her, like May, to defeat other opponents one after another after winning this battle, and successfully advanced to the finals, where they met in the final battle.
By this time, the sky had darkened.
Although the audience also felt very tired, they still cheered up and were looking forward to the last game of this Kouki Contest with great expectations!
After all, if they want to watch the exciting Pokémon Contest Battle, they have to wait until Grand Festival. Therefore, as the last opportunity to watch the game, and at a critical moment like the final, they naturally don't want to miss it.
"Now, let's welcome the two finalists!"
He is worthy of being a professional host. Even though he has been hosting for so long, Lilian is still full of energy at this moment, and his voice sounds full of Hustle.
Spotlight was seen hitting Contestant Entrance on one side. Under the cheers of people, May walked out waving his hands.
"The first person to appear is the May player who came all the way from Hoenn Region! She currently owns four Ribbon Medal. In today's competition, can she collect five as she wishes and successfully participate in Grand Festival? Let's wait and see!"
After introducing May, as Spotlight turned, it shined at Contestant Entrance on the other side. The next second, Jessie also walked out of the passage slowly with a smile on his face.
"The next person to appear is Mew Pokémon Trainer, who has a gorgeous appearance and is named Fairy Jessie Bian. Can she get the first Ribbon Medal in today's competition? Let's look forward to her performance!"
After hearing Lilian's introduction, Xia You also realized that after so long, Jessie couldn't even get a piece of Ribbon Medal.
This is really a bit... inappropriate.
You must know that with the strength of Jessie, if she did not pester Ash, but seriously went to a place to participate in Pokémon Contest, I am afraid she would have collected five Ribbon Medal long ago. But having said that, if she did not pester Ash and did not chase Pikachu, would she still be Jessie?
It can only be said that the path she chose was her own, and the consequences of not being able to fulfill her dream can only be borne by her.
May and Jessie came on the stage and stood still. As they threw Poké Ball, Squirtle and Banette also appeared on the stage again.
Although after just a few battles, the two Pokémon were in good condition. Because they ate some Pokéblock and took a short rest, they recovered some physical strength. Neither of them suffered too much damage, but they seemed to be in good spirits.
Seeing that both sides were ready, Lilian gave the order, and the final Pokémon Contest final showdown of Kanto Region officially began!
And this also made Harley in the stands sit upright instantly.
It's finally here!
Unconcealable excitement flashed in his eyes.
After waiting for so long, it's finally time!
Why did you hand Cacturne and Banette, your two strongest Pokémon, to Jessie?
Isn't it just for this moment?
As long as Jessie can use his Pokémon to defeat May and knock her out, then his goal will be achieved and his revenge will be avenged!
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists even more excitedly, as if he had already seen that scene!
That's right, in Harley's opinion, his Pokémon is undoubtedly stronger than May. His previous loss to her was not due to lack of strength, but simply bad luck. Moreover, he also firmly believes that if they fight again, the winner will definitely be his Pokémon!
The only thing that puzzles Harley is that until now, the man named James has never come out to create difficulties for May. After all, according to his design with Team Rocket Trio, after he handed Pokémon to Jessie, James would also destroy it and hinder May from playing smoothly, but how come there is no movement at all until now?
Instinctively, he felt vaguely uneasy and worried whether James would take the opportunity to rescue Meowth, but now was the critical period of the game, and even if he wanted to leave, he could not leave.
Fortunately, the next second, he saw James at the exit of Contestant Entrance, which put his heart back in his stomach.
As long as this man is still around, it's fine. Although I don't know why he didn't follow his instructions, as long as he doesn't rescue Meowth, my cooperation with them will continue.
It's nothing more than making May's game lack some twists and turns.
On the field, at the same time that Lilian announced the start of the game, Banette had already taken action without Jessie's instructions.
A Thunderbolt formed instantly in its hand, hitting Squirtle with lightning speed!
This time, it can be said that the timing was just right.
Banette had secretly accumulated energy before the battle started, so when Lilian finished speaking, it was able to use its moves so quickly, thus catching May and Squirtle by surprise.
Of course, this method cannot say that Harley is a foul.
After all, it only used the move after Lilian shouted start. Before that, its body did not change and it did not move at all. It can only be said that it took advantage of a loophole.
Because Electric-type's move restrained Water-type Pokémon, Squirtle was so shocked that even the ornate bar on the screen was reduced by a small section.
Fortunately, Squirtle is not that easy to knock down. As soon as it was knocked down, it immediately stood up, with fighting spirit burning in its eyes. A Ice Beam suddenly came out of its mouth, Spit Up, and Banette immediately responded with an unexpected blow!
