"Ah... Auntie?"
Lila was stunned by the call of aunt, and the elegant temperament on her body almost stopped. But looking at Dawn's sincere look, she thought about her relationship with her mother again.
There seems to be nothing wrong with this title.
There is no way, and it's not surprising that Lila thinks so. Although she is already in her early thirties, due to her long-term work in Sinnoh's top fashion store, Lila attaches great importance to the maintenance of her appearance.
Coupled with her unique temperament, most children will affectionately call her sister when they see her.
Especially Brock, if Brother Gang were here, he would probably take off immediately. This kind of big sister Brock can't stand it at all.
It depends on whether Lila can handle it or not.
So after thinking about it, Lila returned to his thoughtful and elegant look. "Originally, I always wanted to compete with Johanna again, but maybe it was a coincidence. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to compete on the same stage with her daughter."
"I don't know if Johanna is watching this game. If he is, he will definitely envy me."
"Hahahahaha."
Speaking of this, Lila seemed to have thought of Johanna gritting his teeth and looking indignant. He even gave up on managing his expression and burst into laughter on the spot.
Sure enough, women still understand women.
"Haha, this is hilarious. This person is still so self-righteous. Who would be envious of a competition?"
"Just kidding, this is simply alarmist."
At this time, Johanna in front of the TV looked at the screen expressionlessly, but the words she spoke had already betrayed her heart.
"Oh Johanna, please be gentle, that's my leg you're pinching."
Lina, who was watching the live broadcast with Johanna, felt very innocent. She rubbed her thighs in pain and looked at the tough-talking woman in front of her with disgust.
Woman, admit it, you are indeed envious.
I don't know Johanna's psychology, but Lila on the field has already entered a fighting state, looking at Dawn with fiery eyes. "So Dawn, I am looking forward to this game, but I won't let it go."
"It's a dream come true." Dawn said with the same fighting spirit.
After the greetings were over, the host also answered the question with great insight, "It seems that our two contestants are ready, so now."
"The game begins!"
"Go ahead, Delcatty!"
"Lopunny, the charm appears!"
After the host finished speaking, the girl and the big sister threw Poké Ball at the same time. As the red light flashed, their respective elves appeared on the playing field.
After seeing Lila's Cherrim, Dawn did not choose her Supreme Overlord Piplup for the sake of conservatism, but chose the more secure Lopunny.
As for Gengar, she is not yet able to perfectly command the other party. Making the other party willing to perform is already the limit of Dawn.
What Dawn didn't expect was that the opponent did not use the Pokémon in the preliminary round, but chose another Pokémon.
I saw the opponent's light yellow body, like a lady with a purple ring shawl around her neck. She looked very graceful and luxurious. Standing next to Lila, who was also wearing a purple dress, it made people feel that the opponent was not here to compete.
More like a supermodel catwalk.
"Didi."
"Delcatty, Qinggao Pokémon."
"Attribute: Normal-type."
"Introduction: Skitty is the evolved form of Hoenn Region, a common domestic cat Pokémon. It has a personality of Own Tempo and likes to live a free life. Because of its elegant and beautiful appearance, it is very popular among female trainers Rotom."
When Delcatty appeared, Rotom Pokédex next to Dawn started to prompt.
Because Dawn was competing, Xiaoyun directly followed Rotom Pokédex beside him in order to make it easier for him to see Pokédex.
"Little sister, let me show you what the real Pokémon Contest is."
"Delcatty, use Fake Out."
"Meow!" As soon as Lila finished speaking, Delcatty reacted. Delcatty, who had just looked like a lady, instantly turned into an assassin.
I saw its hind limbs exerting force, and the whole cat jumped in front of Lopunny in an instant, slapped the opponent with its front paws, causing it to fall into the Flinch state.
"Lopunny, quickly distance yourself."
Dawn Seeing that the opponent is so fast, he wants to distance himself first and fight.
Lila smiled faintly, "Can you avoid it? Delcatty connected with Thunderbolt."
Zizzi.
The command fell, Delcatty high Splash, yellow current flashed on his body, and a powerful thunder and lightning hit Lopunny.
Click!
Lopunny was unable to move due to the action of Fake Out, and was hit directly by the latter's Thunderbolt.
"Why, why can't Lopunny move?"
Dawn was not sure about this move and looked at Rotom in confusion.
"The move information Rotom has been found."
Rotom Quick reply:
"Fake Out: The effect of this move will be preemptive when it is used immediately. At the same time, Pokémon who receives this move will fall into the Flinch state."
"It's the first move, no wonder."
Dawn, who was at a disadvantage at the beginning, bit his lower lip lightly and looked at the opponent with a cautious expression.
As expected, he is a senior at the same time as his mother. Even though he has not competed for many years, his command ability and reaction ability of that Delcatty are still so proficient.
Lila smiled, "This is just the beginning Dawn."
"Delcatty, use Ice Beam!"
As the voice of Lila sounded, Delcatty stood in the center of the arena, its eyes flashing with cold light, the energy of Ice-type condensed at the corners of its mouth, and the cold air overflowed.
I saw a forked Ice Beam coming from Delcatty's mouth Spit Up, like a cold ray, attacking Lopunny.
Dawn stared closely at Delcatty's movements. When she saw the opponent launching an attack, she immediately shouted, "Lopunny, use Bounce to avoid it."
Lopunny heard the owner's instructions. It jumped up flexibly, took advantage of its long legs to Splash high, quickly adjusted its posture, and easily avoided Ice Beam's attack range.
Seeing Delcatty's attack on Smack Down, Lila did not feel disappointed. Instead, she showed a smile. She seemed to have expected this result.
Immediately afterwards, Lila waved her arms with firm eyes, and her tone became serious and serious. "I knew you would do this, Delcatty, end Lopunny."
"Use Thunder!"
Lila issued the final order.
After Delcatty received the instruction, a strong electric current surged through his body, making a crackling sound.
"No, when is it?"
Dawn was shocked and looked up into the sky. The sky turned dark and cloudy at some point, and thunder could be heard from time to time.
"Meow!" The hair on Delcatty's body exploded and he let out a sharp roar.
Boom!!
Under the connection of Delcatty, with a deafening roar, a powerful thunder landed. Lopunny, which had just jumped into the air, could not avoid it at all and became an immovable target.
And Lila's series of powerful combos fully demonstrated her powerful command ability, letting everyone understand that her title of top Coordinator was by no means in vain.
But I always feel that there is some personal grudge involved.
"It's over."
Seeing Lopunny being hit by Bolt Strike, Lila, who was confident in his heart, had already anticipated the result, closed his eyes and said softly.
After a while, Dawn's crisp voice sounded again and reached Lila's ears.
"No, it's not over yet."
"The game has just begun!"
"Lopunny, use Jump Kick."
As Dawn finished speaking, Lopunny among Smokescreen quickly landed on the ground, its long legs tapped the ground, and the whole Pokémon shot out like a bullet.
Peng!
Its speed was so fast that Delcatty, who had just released Thunder, was unable to dodge and was kicked away by it.
"What, Delcatty!"
Seeing the sudden scene, Lila exclaimed and quickly looked towards the arena. The position where Lopunny had just been Smack Down turned into a Lopunny doll and finally disappeared.
It's the Substitute move.
"Substitute move, Delcatty was Thunder, but it was dodged just now."
Lila was a little surprised, but after the surprise, he gently closed his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I underestimated you, Dawn."
But soon, Lila returned to his serious state. "Delcatty, use Ice Beam."
Delcatty, who was kicked away, shook his head, stood up from the ground, adjusted his posture, and responded quickly to Lila's instructions.
Immediately afterwards, Ice-type energy gathered at the corner of Delcatty's mouth again, and a forked ice ray shot Spit Up from Delcatty's mouth towards Lopunny.
"Lopunny welcomes you, use Dizzy Punch!"
After a series of moves, Dawn also adapted to the opponent's fighting style and responded quickly.
Lila's fighting style is very straightforward, ensuring a gorgeous level and being extremely smooth in terms of skill power and connection. This level of directness makes Dawn feel that he is not facing a Coordinator, but a gym competition.
From this point of view, the previous winner of Grand Festival has a high gold content.
"Mi!"
Lopunny used his legs to run fast, and the pair of long ears on his head gathered energy like a boxer, facing Ice Beam who was facing the opponent.
Kaka!
The moves of Dizzy Punch and Ice Beam collided. The cold air emitted by Ice Beam gradually froze Lopunny's ears.
"That's it Lopunny, rotate your body quickly!"
Seeing that Lopunny was at a disadvantage, Dawn seemed to have achieved his goal and shouted.
"Mi!"
Lopunny, who was under the pressure of Ice Beam, tapped his toes when he heard it and quickly rotated on the spot. Under its rotation, Lopunny wrapped Ice Beam of Delcatty around his ears and used it for his own purposes, becoming Ice Punch.
Dawn immediately seized the opportunity after seeing that the plan was successful and shouted, "Go!"
"What, there is such a method."
Lila's pupils widened and he exclaimed.
Even though she has participated in many competitions, she has rarely seen such bold operations in competitions.
Lopunny, whose ears were wrapped in ice, rushed to Delcatty with one ear against Ice Beam, and faced Delcatty with the other ear, hitting Ice Punch.
Bang!
"Meow~" Delcatty howled and was knocked to the ground again.
Although the scene was reversed, the essence of this game was still Pokémon Contest, because Lila's dazzling combos in the early stages of the game greatly reduced Dawn's score, so that Dawn's score still lagged behind the opponent on the big screen.
The game time also came to the last 30 seconds.
And Dawn looked at Delcatty who was bruised but still got up from the ground again, and then looked at Lopunny's current tired state.
Her eyes were firm and she shouted loudly, "This is our last chance Lopunny, use High Jump Kick!"
"Mi!"
Lopunny had a serious expression, stepped hard on the ground with his toes, concentrated all the Fighting-type energy in his body on the top of his knees, and struck in the direction of Delcatty with all his strength!
Looking at Lopunny's speed, Lila knew that Delcatty couldn't dodge this move in its current state, so he planned to give it a try.
"Delcatty, use Double-Edge!!"
"Meow!" Delcatty shouted, his whole body was covered with dazzling white light, and a powerful spiral Tackle emerged.
Double-Edge is Normal-type's powerful physical attack move, coupled with Delcatty's own attribute bonus, making the white energy covering the surface of Delcatty's body more intense.
After Delcatty gathered the energy, he exerted force on his limbs and stepped straight towards Lopunny's High Jump Kick.
The next moment, two ultimate moves with different attributes collided. High Jump Kick's Tackle hit Delcatty's Double-Edge!
Boom boom boom!!
Accompanied by a strong explosion, Lopunny's High Jump Kick was like a spear, breaking the spiral Tackle on the surface of Double-Edge, and finally struck Delcatty's body in the face with his knee.
Bang!!
With a deep muffled sound, Delcatty's figure suddenly flew out like a meteor from the sky and smashed against the wall outside the venue.
After taking advantage of this double-restrained High Jump Kick head-on, Delcatty could no longer get up from the ground like before, completely losing its ability to fight.
With the defeat of Delcatty, the score of Lila was cleared on the big screen, and the avatar of Dawn occupied the entire big screen.
The host Marian reacted promptly. "Our winner has appeared, and that is our Miss Dawn!"
"Everyone welcomes you with applause!"
"Dawn You are great!!"
"Sinnoh Princess is the best!!"
"The world has changed. How come the gorgeous fight between two women is more passionate than that of the boys? Damn it, when will the boys rise up?"
"Why are you rising? Our Sinnoh even has a female champion, yet we are still rising~"
"Wow, why did Lila lose? Didn't you even speak out for our family Lila?"
Listening to the cheers at the scene, Marian wiped the sweat from her forehead, thinking that she had hosted many competitions, but like Dawn, she always fought back after being suppressed, and the one who won in the end was really... talented.
"I lost."
Looking at the dazzling Dawn in the center of the stage, Lila was filled with emotion. Then he walked up to Dawn. Under the latter's slightly puzzled gaze, he put his hand on the other person's head and touched him affectionately.
He said in a gentle tone, "Dawn, your performance is really good, better than Johanna, even better than me back then,"
"So, let's go on bravely on Pokémon Contest with our expectations."
Feeling the goodwill expressed by the other party, Dawn said firmly, "Thank you Aunt Lila, I will, and I will definitely continue to work hard!"
"What? Just tell me why you took me with you."
Johanna looked at this scene, maybe Dawn looked too similar to himself, and Johanna couldn't help but fall into memories after standing together with Lila.
"Oh? Some people are being harsh again~"
"Lina!!"
