The last Mystic Water Xiaoyun gave it to Dawn and asked her to wear it for Piplup. The moment the water droplets came into contact with Piplup, it melted into her body, which means that it has been worn successfully.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Massif, the two left the castle and continued walking in the direction of Solaceon Town.
It is worth mentioning that when they arrived, Marble's master Mahogany Town Officer Jenny also chased after them. According to Officer Jenny's description, Marble was a trainee detective and had no ability to independently receive tasks. He also escaped this time.
After a lesson, Officer Jenny took the limp Marble and apologized to Massif for a while, then drove Marble back.
Two days later, Solaceon Town.
Solaceon Town is located in the middle of Sinnoh Region. It was originally a peaceful town for people to rest with Pokémon. However, as the excavation of the local Solaceon Ruins attracted many travelers, this peaceful town gradually became lively.
Solaceon Town Pokémon Center.
"Miss Dawn, your Pokémon Contest has been successfully registered." Nurse Joy of Solaceon Town returned Pokédex to Dawn with a smile.
"Okay, thank you Nurse Joy." Dawn took Pokédex and bowed to thank him.
Then Dawn turned his head and playfully said to Xiaoyun next to him, "Xiaoyun, let's go walk around."
"Hey! Now, Dawn, you have a competition tomorrow, don't you need to train harder?" Xiaoyun replied with a confused look on his face.
Due to delays on the road, it was already the last day to register when they arrived at Solaceon Town, and Pokémon Contest would start here tomorrow. It was so tight that Dawn still wanted to go shopping, which made him even more confused.
Because this is very unreasonable.
"Oh, no problem. This time Solaceon Contest Nurse Joy said that there are only more than thirty people applying, and most of them are local Pokémon Contest enthusiasts, so even if you don't need to train, there will definitely be no problem." Dawn waved his hand indifferently after hearing this.
She thought to herself that she could even win a game as difficult as Hearthome Contest, not to mention that this was just a town-level competition, and at most it was about the same difficulty as Floaroma Town, so she wouldn't lose.
And Xiaoyun looked at Dawn's expression of don't worry, just leave it to her, and for some reason this made his heart suddenly thump.
So he said uneasily again, "Is it true? But even if the people who sign up are not very strong, the performances in the preliminary round always need to be practiced, otherwise what will happen if they can't even pass the preliminary round?"
"Oh, everyone said it's okay. I've also practiced my performance well, so Xiaoyun, don't talk about me anymore." Dawn affirmed again after hearing this. After all, daily practice is also practice, so there's no difference.
"Hey, okay." Xiaoyun asked helplessly after hearing this. Now he looked at Dawn looking stable, but in his heart he always felt that Dawn would overturn this time.
But he didn't say much. Maybe he felt wrong. After all, he had to have confidence in Dawn, right?
The next morning, Solaceon Contest officially started.
"Hello everyone, I am your old friend Marian. This time Solaceon Contest will still be hosted by me."
In the player selection room.
"Huh? Kenny You are here too."
Dawn, who had just arrived at the candidate room, saw a familiar figure appearing here after entering the door. It was Kenny who also participated in the competition.
"Yes, it's been a long time. I continued traveling after Hearthome City said goodbye last time. This time I happened to arrive at Solaceon Town and started to sign up." Kenny smiled at them and replied after seeing that it was Dawn.
Different from the past, this time Kenny did not mock Dawn first. After two disastrous defeats by Hearthome City, he gradually learned to restrain his personality, especially in front of Dawn.
Because he was instructed by an expert (Brock) to behave like a gentleman in front of the girl he loves and not to be too arrogant, otherwise it will greatly damage his image.
Moreover, the master also said that if girls are competed at the same time, they must be allowed to fully see their own advantages, so that the balance of victory will tilt towards him.
And his advantage is undoubtedly Pokémon Contest. After all, Xiaoyun is a trainer and does not participate in Pokémon Contest. It was so irrational for him to want to go head-to-head with the opponent before.
So he has to excel on the Pokémon Contest track, so that he can win the love of Dawn and let him leave Xiaoyun. At that time, his opportunity will come.
So in order to be the best in Pokémon Contest, he practiced hard after leaving Hearthome City, and this competition is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Dawn to show himself.
He, Kenny, must be captured.
At this time, Kenny's performance made Dawn feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
So she replied to him, "Well, let's work hard together."
"Okay." Kenny smiled calmly.
The competition officially started, and after more than a dozen contestants performed, the name Kenny finally came.
"Next, we invite the 16th contestant, contestant Twinleaf Town Kenny to appear." Host Marian announced at the venue.
"Dawn, then I'll go on stage first." Kenny smiled at the gentleman Dawn and then stepped onto the stage.
"Prinplup, please."
Kenny, who was standing on the stage, immediately threw out his Poké Ball, and the figure of Prinplup appeared on the stage with bursts of water vapor.
"Prinplup, use Water Pledge!" Kenny yelled at Prinplup.
"Wa~" Accompanied by a low roar, Prinplup raised his right foot without hesitation and stomped to the ground with all his strength.
In an instant, as if echoed by some mysterious force, several thick water columns rose into the sky like giant dragons, and continuously spewed out from the center of the stage.
"Very good, then rotate your body and use Ice Beam!" Kenny directed excitedly.
"Wa~" After receiving the command, Prinplup's body began to rotate clockwise, and then a dazzling ice-blue light shot out from its mouth. This Ice Beam was like an extremely sharp sword, carrying a biting cold air, shooting straight ahead.
Kaka!
Those originally extremely hard water columns were frozen into crystal clear icicles in an instant!
"For the final blow, use Metal Claw." Kenny shouted loudly.
"Wave!"
Prinplup and Dual Wingbeat shine with metallic light, transforming into a pair of indestructible steel Scratch in the blink of an eye.
I saw it waving its wings and slashing towards the surrounding icicles like Flash.
For a moment, the swords and swords flashed, and crisp cracking sounds could be heard.
After just a few seconds, all the icicles were overwhelmed and shattered one after another, turning into countless small and beautiful ice-blue ice crystals, falling on the stage like a Mew-like ice and snow feast.
Wow wow wow!!
"Kenny, it seems that Dawn is really dangerous in this competition."
Feeling the exclamations around him, Xiaoyun in the audience looked at Kenny who was shining brightly on the stage and immediately felt sweaty for Dawn.
It seems that this kid Kenny has been working hard during this period, and his strength has improved a lot.
"Thank you everyone." The performance ended perfectly with the salutes of Kenny and Prinplup.
Whoa whoosh whoosh!
Thunderous applause suddenly erupted on the field.
Then host Marian looked at Kenny's gorgeous performance and praised Kenny.
"Wow, the performance of contestant Kenny is really pleasing to the eye. The performance level is quite high. Let's see what kind of results the judges and teachers will give this performance."
