May chose Blaziken as her stage partner this time.
Perhaps she also wanted a good start in a new region, which was why she sent out her most trusted partner for her first stage performance in Sinnoh.
She walked onto the stage with composure, a confident smile spreading across her face. She waved to the audience, then tossed her Poké Ball high into the air.
Amid the dazzling flames created by the stickers, Blaziken made a brilliant entrance a moment later!
As soon as it appeared, it demonstrated exceptional control over fire, unleashing a Fire Spin while also guiding the flames produced by the stickers. It formed two rings of fire on the stage, a small one inside a larger one, one deep in color and the other pale, rotating in opposite directions!
Just as everyone marveled at the twin flames, Blaziken used Double Kick, leaping into the center of the fire and scattering it. The flames burst outward through the air, covering the entire stage and sweeping over the audience before burning out like fleeting shooting stars.
Overall, the effect was quite dazzling and showcased Blaziken's abilities. In particular, that brief canopy of fire gave people the sensation of being enveloped.
Naturally, this performance earned May thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, as well as the highest score of the entire round.
In the contestants' lounge, both Dawn and Zoey felt a heavy sense of pressure along with their surprise after watching May's flawless performance.
In fact, it was not just them. The other contestants around them also realized after watching May's performance that she was no ordinary competitor.
After all, Blaziken had performed incredibly well!
Although May had been the last to appear, her performance had completely overshadowed everyone before her!
Watching May wave again on the
