"I lost..."
Kenny murmured to himself, silently taking Pokémon back to Poké Ball, looking a little lonely, which also meant that his Pokémon Contest journey this year has come to an end, and Dawn also...
At this moment, a burst of cheers came to Kenny's ears. "No problem, we won!"
Kenny raised her head and looked around, only to see Dawn on the opposite side excitedly hugging her Pokémons, with an extremely bright smile on her face.
Looking at Dawn's face full of joy, Kenny's mood gradually calmed down for some unknown reason.
His originally lonely expression gradually became calmer, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily.
"It's not bad if you lose to Dawn."
"Keep working hard."
Thinking of this, Kenny took a deep breath, then turned around and slowly left the arena.
He did not look back, nor did he say goodbye to Dawn. Although it was a bit regretful, in this case, let this regret turn into the motivation for him to move forward and encourage himself to continue working hard!
That night, darkness enveloped the entire competition venue, and the list of the semi-finals was finally officially announced with everyone's eager anticipation.
In the center of the stage, a spotlight lit up, illuminating the energetic figure of the host Bian An. She held a microphone and spoke passionately.
"Friends from the audience, after a series of duels, the top four players of Grand Festival have stood out. They are!"
"Mr. Nando, whose gorgeous style is famous for his music and is even known as a bard!"
At this time, the picture of Nando was switched on the big screen. Nando was wearing an exquisite dress, with a tall and straight figure and an elegant temperament.
Facing the camera, Nando nodded slightly, held the harp in his hand, and raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. His movements were as graceful as a noble prince from the Middle Ages.
This made the rich women below so greedy that they stared at Nando with twitching eyes. They might have fantasized about some indescribable scene in their minds.
Immediately afterwards, Marian continued to introduce, "The next person to advance is Miss Zoey, who is good at gorgeous play and has superb skills!"
The camera quickly turned to Zoey. Zoey was wearing a tuxedo and looked cool. He nodded slightly towards the camera and said hello in a friendly manner.
The men present had a general impression of this neutral-style dress, but they were inexplicably loved by the little girl and looked at Zoey with admiration.
Hope Jiang, the Lila flowers in my hometown are blooming.
"The third person to advance is Tiantian Jessie, who has unparalleled trust in Pokémon and has a variety of playing styles..."
Before Marian could finish speaking, Jessie couldn't wait to rush to the camera and shouted excitedly, "Yes, I am Jessilina the Sweet! Everyone must support me, I love you all!!"
Due to being so excited, Jessie's big face almost stuck to the camera, filling up the entire screen. The audience was frightened and quickly put away their thoughts.
Compared to Zoey and Nando who relied on strength, Jessie relied on luck. Just like Ash who just participated in Indigo Plateau Conference, she didn't meet many capable people along the way and easily advanced to the top four, a silky group.
Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly turned cold, Marian was a little embarrassed. After laughing twice, he said, "Haha, it seems that Ms. Jessie Lina is really active."
After that, Marian, a professional host, quickly changed the topic and said in a high voice, "The last person to advance, she said that she has made a name for herself in Pokémon Contest since her debut. She has a beautiful performance style, clean duels, and balances strength and glamor."
Speaking of this, Lila deliberately raised his voice.
"Miss Sinnoh Princess, Dawn!"
As Lila finished speaking, Dawn, wearing an elegant long dress, walked forward lightly.
She leaned forward slightly and bowed to the camera, with a sweet smile on her face, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.
Immediately afterwards, Dawn said in a clear and melodious voice, "Hello everyone, thank you all for supporting me all the time, I will continue to work hard!"
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
At this moment, the audience (Lao Se Pi) could no longer contain their excitement, and various excited shouts came from the crowd from time to time.
"Aww, Nando is so handsome!!"
"What do you know upstairs? I think Jessilina the Sweet still has its charm."
"I don't understand anything on the second floor. Zoey has so much personality. I love this cool neutral style."
"Sinnoh Princess, Sinnoh Princess!"
"Dawn is the most beautiful from all over the world, Dawn I love you!!!"
For a time, all kinds of cheers came like a tidal wave, and there was thunderous applause. It was obvious that the performances of these people impressed them deeply.
And because of Dawn's performance in the preliminary round and her princess dress, she has the highest reputation.
You can't even stare at anyone.
Then, the four people's avatars appeared on the big screen, and the avatars began to rotate, and the battle grouping began. The grouping results were.
Mr. Zoey VS Nando.
Dawn VS Jessilina the Sweet.
"Tomorrow morning, the above four contestants will decide the final champion. Please remember to watch on time and in front of the TV!"
As Marian finished speaking, today's event came to an end. The audience stood up and discussed the event in an orderly manner.
"I knew Dawn would be fine. My daughter-in-law is the best."
"Time flies so fast. This child has actually reached the semi-finals stage. Even I, a mother, can't help but get nervous."
Looking at the shining Dawn on the stage, for a moment, Lina and Johanna had different thoughts in their hearts, but they all expressed their deep blessings to Dawn.
Night, inside the room.
Dawn, who had just taken a bath, was wearing cute Piplup pajamas, rolling around on the bed, with a smile on his face.
At this moment, Xiaoyun, who also came out of the shower, looked at this scene with a strange expression. He couldn't help but joked, "You are so excited. The game is tomorrow, why don't you go to sleep?"
"Yeah, I can't sleep because I have a game tomorrow. I always feel like my heart is beating really fast."
Hearing Xiaoyun's voice, Dawn quickly sat cross-legged on the bed, her face flushed. She pointed to the position of her heart and replied sweetly.
"I don't believe it until I hear it."
He said he was asking, but in fact, this guy had put his ear to Dawn's chest, pretending to be listening very carefully, and nodding from time to time.
"It's really fast, but there's one most important thing you didn't say."
Dawn didn't dare to move, and asked with a red face, "What else is there?"
Xiaoyun raised his head seriously and said seriously, "It's a bit soft."
"Come here, you are so annoying!"
Speaking of which, Dawn still didn't understand that this guy was teasing her. She scolded and stretched out her hand angrily, pulling Xiaoyun aside.
Xiaoyun also cooperated very well and was held down by Dawn. After playing around for a while, Xiaoyun looked at her and said with a smile, "How are you? Are you still nervous now?"
Dawn was stunned. After Xiaoyun made such a fuss, she felt that she was indeed not so nervous. Then she frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then expressed her thoughts.
"That's right. I thought before that I would participate in the celebration, defeat various opponents, and then become the champion."
"Yeah, it's a normal thought."
Xiaoyun responded with a smile. Who hasn't had his ideals yet? He also thought about becoming the Sinnoh champion and conquering Arceus.
Dawn lay on the bed, covering the dazzling lights with his hands, and continued, "But, even after I actually compete, I always feel that there are so many people. I have survived until now. It seems that even the championship is not that far away. I feel like I am right next to me, just..."
At this point, Dawn stopped, her expression a little tangled, and Xiaoyun finished her words for her understandingly.
"It's a little unreal, isn't it."
Snap!
There was a crisp sound, and Dawn was excited and patted Xiaoyun's thigh hard, and nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's like these things are all my imagination, it's just a dream, and it's gone when I wake up."
Xiaoyun smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't think blindly. You are just too anxious. Think about our experiences along the way. You can't fake it."
"Well..., it is indeed very true."
Dawn nodded slightly and fell into deep thought. Their trip was definitely a rich one.
Participating in Pokémon Contest for the first time, fighting against Hunter J, meeting mythical beasts, meeting Mythical Pokémon, meeting many mythical beasts and Mythical Pokémon, and traveling through Hisui Region. A series of thrilling scenes are exciting just thinking about it.
"That's right, so just perform normally tomorrow and seize the opportunity, okay."
After Xiaoyun finished speaking, he was seen rubbing his sore thigh with one hand without leaving a trace, and the other hand was gently placed on Dawn's hair, his voice was extremely gentle.
"Besides, this isn't a dream, is it?"
When Xiaoyun said these words, although his eyes stayed on Dawn, deep down in his heart, he was actually seeking confirmation from himself.
He hoped from the bottom of his heart that all the beauty in front of him was not Mew, but a real and unquestionable fact.
Perhaps it was because Frisk had reached Xiaoyun's mood swings at this moment that Dawn looked at him, his bright and moving eyes straight into Xiaoyun's sight, nodded heavily, and responded with a voice like a silver bell.
"Of course!"
The next day, the competition scene.
Although it hasn't started yet, the Grand Festival venue is already overcrowded and looks lively.
In the center of the stage, host Marian held a microphone and said with a smile on his face, "Hello, good morning everyone."
"After a night of waiting, the Pokémon Contest semi-finals that everyone has been waiting for has begun at this moment, and our two players are already in place."
The camera switched to the playing field, where Jessie and Dawn had already stood in their respective positions.
Facing the camera, Dawn smiled and nodded slightly to indicate to the audience.
In contrast, Jessie looked extremely excited, cheering excitedly and blowing all kinds of kisses non-stop.
"Hello, I am Jessilina the Sweet. You must support me. I love you!!!"
"Jessie is here again..."
In the audience, James and Meowth, who were wearing sales clothes and working part-time selling retail products, thought to themselves.
But at the same time, they are also happy for Jessie from the bottom of their hearts, because Jessie has always had a dream of being an actor, and today's competition can be regarded as fulfilling Jessie's acting dream.
"Without further ado, I announce that the first match of the semi-finals, the duel between player Dawn VS Jessilina the Sweet, now..."
Before Marian finished speaking, the audience, who could no longer contain their excitement, shouted in unison, "The game begins!"
The big screen appeared, the voice echoed through the sky, and the enthusiasm of the audience was completely mobilized at this moment.
"Little girl, get ready for my gorgeous trick Jessilina the Sweet."
Jessie, who had already been praised by the audience for taking off, put one hand on his hip and decisively threw Poké Ball, looking as if he was getting carried away.
"Yanmega, Wobbuffet, make a gorgeous debut!"
A red light flashed, and a dragonfly-like Yanmega flapped its wings and hovered in the air.
The other one, Pokémon, took slow but steady steps, stood leisurely and contentedly in the middle of the field, and gave a military salute.
"So... Nance!"
Wobbuffet, Wobbuffet!
At the same time, Dawn had firm eyes, threw Poké Ball with his showy hands, and shouted softly, "Swablu, the charm is here!"
A red light flashed, and a small and exquisite Swablu waved its cotton-like wings and flew lightly in the air.
Seeing this scene, Jessie on the other side couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, with a puzzled look on his face. "Little girl, you are not mistaken, are you going to hit me with a Pokémon?"
Not only Jessie was curious, but many spectators present were also curious. They also wanted to know why Dawn only released one Pokémon to challenge.
However, in the face of everyone's doubts and confusion, Dawn lowered his head and looked at the shadow at his feet, and said softly in an extremely gentle voice, "Don't be shy, come out quickly, Gengar."
"Kou Jie!"
Immediately afterwards, a round purple figure quietly emerged from the shadow of Dawn.
"Jie..."
However, when Purple Fatty saw the crowds of people around it clearly, its little chubby face suddenly froze, its eyes kept moving, and it clicked with its little hands, feeling suddenly at a loss.
The hidden personal attributes were immediately exposed.
There are so many people, I really want to go back...
Just when Gengar was about to give up and think about running away, Dawn's sweet voice suddenly rang.
"Gengar, come on, let's work hard together."
Gengar turned his head, Dawn was smiling and his eyes were shining with encouragement.
"Tweet."
Swablu also flapped its wings and flew down, staying next to Gengar. It shouted happily, seeming to echo Dawn's words and cheer up Gengar.
"Kou Jie~"
Feeling the encouragement from Dawn and Swablu, Gengar was stunned for a moment, looked at Dawn, and then turned his eyes to the two Pokémon opposite.
The chubby little face gradually became serious, clenched his fists, and his eyes were filled with blazing fighting spirit.
No problem, leave it to me!
Gengy I am the hardest working person!
