"Slurpuff, Dazzling Gleam! Psychic type Meowth, Psychic!"
On the field, the performances of Miette, Slurpuff, and Psychic type Meowth were extremely luxurious and exquisite.
Slurpuff is like a ballet dancer, spinning in the halo woven by Dazzling Gleam, creating countless pink marshmallows.
Psychic type Meowth uses the powerful Confusion to control these light flakes, constructing complex patterns that are constantly changing in the air.
In the end, a huge castle with twinkling stars was formed, and the whole performance was full of the atmosphere of Mew.
"Excellent control. Every ounce of strength is used on the blade. It can be seen that hard work has been put into it."
Aria nodded slightly, but thought in his heart.
It seems to be missing a little emotional warmth...
Jessie's performance continued her usual "Jessie flow" exaggerated style.
Pumpkaboo and Jellicent cooperate to create explosive stage effects using "Shadow Ball" and "Hydro Pump".
With Jessie's high-pitched singing voice and exaggerated body movements, it seems like a weird fantasy drama is being staged.
Although it is very different from the traditional elegant aesthetic, its strong personal style and entertainment have actually won a lot of applause and laughter.
"Should I say that I am really worthy of being Jessie..." Xiaoyun commented while holding back a laugh.
The whole thing has to be Jessie. I'm used to seeing beautiful things, but suddenly the whole thing is quite exciting.
Barry was speechless. "I feel like I'm in a circus."
Bonnie actually enjoyed watching it. "I think it's very interesting!"
Then arrived Serena.
Braixen uses flames to depict the scenery of Pokémon Journeys, and Frogadier uses water flow to match it.
Serena himself was spinning and dancing happily in the middle, with a heartfelt smile on his face, as if he was telling the good memories of Pokémon Journeys.
It's not too showy, but the sincere emotion also touches many people's hearts and makes people feel warm.
Then, the stage went dark.
A spotlight hit the center of the stage, and Dawn stood quietly, surrounded by Floette who was leaning on her closely, and Shaymin who had serious eyes.
BGM, up!
(Listen to the desire in my heart, how beautiful and great it is, no matter what...)
The music sounded, ethereal and distant.
Dawn spoke softly, "Floette, Petal Dance! Shaymin, Leech Seed!"
Shaymin's body flashed with green light, and countless tiny seeds flew out and landed on the stage floor.
Puff puff puff!
In an instant, buds broke through the ground and grew wildly, and giant trees towered into the sky, Vine Whip entangled.
It was like a primeval forest rising from the ground on the stage! It caused a gasp of air in the audience.
Then, Floette and Eternal Flower shined like never before!
The powerful power is not used for attacking, but like a paintbrush, painting a gorgeous picture above the stage.
Countless petals are flying in the constructed forest, lighting up every leaf and every bud.
The entire stage instantly turned into a vibrant fantasy forest.
"Impossible, with such strength..."
Aria sat upright involuntarily, with shock written all over his face.
Even the well-informed Kalos Queen was shocked by the powerful power displayed by the two weak-looking little guys on the stage.
(Have hope, have dreams, behind the darkness I see the sunshine...)
Then, Dawn took out a Gracidea Flower that had been prepared for a long time from his arms, and threw it into the air gracefully, with a clear voice:
"Shaymin, bloom!"
Shaymin closes his eyes and instantly switches to Sky Forme under the power of Gracidea Flower!
It flies up lightly, and pure natural energy falls like rain of light.
Nature Power!
I saw Sky Shaymin traveling through this eternal forest of creation.
Wherever he passed, everything revived and flowers bloomed, which seemed to symbolize the spread of courage and hope.
(I am not afraid of how many difficulties are in front of me, and I am not afraid of how many obstacles are around me...)
Floette Under the influence of Sky Shaymin, his eyes became more and more determined.
It flew away from Dawn and danced with Sky Shaymin!
It waves Eternal Flower and scatters more pink light dust, making the forest more Mew.
One represents nature and eternity, the other represents the sky and hope.
Dawn stood in the center of the stage, opening his arms as if embracing the world they created together.
(I don't give up, I don't lose heart, I have Boiling Heart...)
The performance reached its climax, and the entire stage was completely overwhelmed by the endless sea of flowers and pure light. The strong visuals made all the audience hold their breath.
In the end, the picture freezes with Dawn gently catching the slowly falling Floette and Shaymin, and the three figures merge into one in the light.
"Note: The song is from the Pleasant Goat anime episode, Boiling Heart. I thought it matched well, so I used it."
Silence!
The entire venue was silent, everyone was shocked by this performance that went beyond mere simplicity.
At the guest table, Aria couldn't help but sit up straight, with shock and appreciation written on his face.
"Is this... beyond my strength?"
She was shocked because Dawn's performance was not only about skills and strength, but also a deeper understanding and display of magnificence.
"Teacher Palermo, I seem to understand what you mean."
Delphox beside her also nodded slightly, with a strong sense of crisis in his eyes.
Xiaoyun looked at Dawn on the stage, his eyes filled with pride:
"This is Dawn. It's not just a combination of moves, but also an emotional resonance."
Now Dawn has reached a whole new level. Even if we return to Grand Festival now, Dawn can still control it perfectly.
As for Pokémon Showcase, I can only say that fortunately there is no battle here.
Bonnie's eyes shone brightly. "Sister Dawn is so amazing! Like a real queen!"
Barry also opened his mouth wide, and finally murmured, "Dawn... she is really amazing."
"So... so beautiful!"
Serena jumped up excitedly. This was the first time she saw Dawn in full swing on the performance stage.
At this moment, Dawn, just like her name, is shining Illuminate!
"Damn it, I told you not to meet that stinky girl!"
Jessie looked at the frozen picture on the screen, as if he had once again returned to the fear of being dominated by Dawn on Sinnoh Pokémon Contest.
I was so angry that I jumped to my feet, but there was nothing I could do.
Miette was watching in the background, his hands clenched unconsciously, his eyes full of longing.
Is this... the true strength of top Coordinator? She is indeed still far behind.
The final result is without any doubt.
Mr. Pierre announced loudly, "The winner of this year's Pokémon Showcase is--Miss Dawn!"
Amid Spotlight and countless cheers, Dawn took over the Princess Key that symbolized honor from Aria.
The second one is in hand!
"A very wonderful performance, Dawn, you opened my eyes to new possibilities. I look forward to meeting you on the queen stage in the future."
Aria smiled and said sincerely.
This is not a polite statement, if Dawn is willing to continue along the path of Pokémon Showcase, this is almost an inevitable result.
"Thank you, Miss Aria. I'm looking forward to that day too!"
Dawn responded with a bright and confident smile.
She had also heard of the name Kalos Queen Aria. Faced with the invitation from this top performer, Dawn behaved very naturally and generously.
Now she has two trump cards: Floette and Shaymin. She is full of confidence and is not afraid of anyone.
To put it bluntly, it felt like even Master Wallace would have to fight in front of her!
(Of course, this is just a temporary thought based on self-confidence)
(Please refer to the picture of Dawn holding Shaymin in his arms, with Floette floating on his shoulders, and paired with the extremely Swagger emoticon)
The hustle and bustle of Coumarine Showcase has ended, and the chapter of travel continues to unfold.
Due to different destinations, after bidding farewell to the travel partners Little Blondie and Sanpei, Xiaoyun and Ash formed a temporary team and embarked on the journey again.
After a few days of trekking, a vast pasture stretching to the sky like emerald broke into their sight.
The breeze blows, bringing with it the fragrance of grass and earth, which refreshes the spirit.
The mountains in the distance are like mountains, but nearby are already swarms of Gogoat with big breasts and cans.
Their docile Growl intertwined with the creaking sound of the windmill turning to form a pastoral symphonic poem.
A simple wooden sign stood by the roadside, with a few words engraved on it in elegant fonts.
Greenfield Ranch.
"Wow, what a big ranch! There are so many Gogoat!"
Bonnie was the first to cheer.
"Well, the ecological structure here is very stable and the grassland maintenance level is very high. It is a very suitable place for Pokémon to live."
Clemont is still talking nonsense literature.
Xiaoyun really wants to complain.
Who would start ranching here if the ecological structure is unstable?
Ash's attention was completely attracted by the lively scene in the ranch.
Inside, colorful flags were flying and a huge bulletin board stood.
Greenfield Pokémon Race is also a unique mount competition for Kalos.
Why it is said to be unique to Kalos is because all mount competitions organized by Kalos have one thing in common.
That means you cannot use your own Pokémon.
"Eh? Can't you use your own Pokémon? How are you going to compete?"
Ash scratched his head, confusion written on his face.
"Really? This rule is really rare."
Dawn blinked her big sky blue eyes, also not quite understanding.
But at this moment, Serena, who had been standing next to Ash, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
When she saw Ash's confused expression, she knew that her domain had arrived.
Everyone get out of the way, she is about to start showing off in front of others!
Serena gently tucked the flaxen hair behind her ears, took a step forward, and said slowly:
"This is Kalos's traditional riding culture. The core of an event like this is to test the rider's own skills, on-the-spot response, and ability to quickly communicate with unfamiliar Pokémon."
"Usually such competitions will be equipped with two types of Pokémon, Gogoat and Rhyhorn."
"Oh~, that's it."
Ash nodded.
Serena smiled knowingly, paused and continued:
"Gogoat has a gentle temperament, while Rhyhorn has stronger explosive power, but is also more stubborn and sensitive. It requires the rider to have superb driving skills. It is a challenge that only real riders will choose."
Serena talked freely, from riding movements to how to communicate with Pokémon. The professionalism revealed in his words made "laymen" like Ash, Dawn and Xiaoyun nod their heads.
Clemont was also surprised. Apparently Serena's professionalism refreshed his understanding of Serena.
However, just as Serena was explaining the characteristics of Rhyhorn's force during sprinting, a gentle voice sounded leisurely from behind her:
"More importantly, when Rhyhorn sprints, the vibrations of its neck and shoulder armor will be transmitted to the reins. Excellent riders need to use vibrations to predict movements and guide them, rather than being led by force."
When this voice reached his ears, Serena's body stiffened instantly, and the aura he had just now disappeared.
She slowly turned around, and a woman with a capable temperament wearing a neat riding uniform was looking at her with a smile.
"Mom..."
Serena's whole body collapsed. How could he meet his mother here?
"Saki Hello aunt!"
Xiaoyun and Dawn greeted politely immediately.
They had been invited by Serena to stay at his home in the previous Pokémon Journeys, and they had an impression of Saki.
"It's Xiaoyun and Dawn. What a coincidence."
Saki responded with a smile, his eyes gentle, and then turned to his daughter:
"Serena, why don't you introduce your new friend to mom?"
Only then did Serena come back to his senses and quickly introduced, "Mom, they are the Ash, Clemont and little sister Bonnie that I mentioned to you. They are all very important partners in the trip."
When introducing Ash, Serena's tone unconsciously slowed down.
"Hello, aunt!" Ash responded energetically.
"It's an honor to meet you." Clemont said politely.
Bonnie poked his little head out from behind his brother and shouted sweetly, "Hello, aunt~"
"Hello, I am Serena's mother, Saki."
Saki nodded friendly, her eyes lingering for a moment longer as she glanced at Ash.
There seems to be something special about this young man.
After greetings, Saki warmly invited several people to come to her residence.
Saki lives temporarily on the edge of the ranch, a warm wooden house full of Kalos's country style.
Everyone was sitting around on the sofa, holding steaming herbal tea.
During the chat, I learned that because Saki is a professional in the riding industry, the organizer of the ranch specially invited Saki to be a professional Coaching.
Afterwards, we chatted for a few more words, and the topic turned to Serena unconsciously.
Saki put down the teacup and looked at her daughter with soft eyes. "Serena, mom is very pleased to see that your trip went well."
Before Serena could speak, Saki said again:
"But just in time for such an event, have you ever thought about temporarily stopping traveling and returning to the systematic training of riding?"
The atmosphere in the living room instantly became subtle and quiet.
Xiaoyun and Dawn exchanged a tacit look and remained silent in tacit agreement, just sipping tea.
Clemont lowered his head and pretended to debug his invention.
Bonnie tilted her little head and looked at Aunt Saki with a serious expression, and then at Sister Serena with her head lowered. Her big eyes were full of curiosity.
Serena held the warm tea cup, lowered his head, and his long eyelashes hung down to cover the waves in his eyes.
This is not the first time Saki has proposed. Her mother loves riding, and this is also an area where the other party has put their efforts into cultivating her.
But, she doesn't like it.
Her mind uncontrollably flashed to Unnerve fighting side by side with Ash in Pokémon Journeys, sharing the warmth of food, and his back that was always full of Hustle and moving forward courageously...
"I..."
Finally, Serena raised his head and met Saki's gaze:
"I'm sorry, Mom. I... I don't want to give up traveling now."
