Walking off the stage, Dawn's steps were a little empty.
For a performance of this level, she has a lot to pay attention to.
At this moment, a pair of strong hands supported her in time.
Xiaoyun arrived at the backstage passage at some point. He caught Dawn and let her lean against him, saying in a gentle voice, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Well..."
Dawn responded softly, leaning most of his weight on his shoulders, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath:
"A little tired, but very happy."
Dawn is very satisfied with her performance, which at least proves that she has not fallen deeper into the violent trend and is still expected to return to the gorgeous stage.
Xiaoyun supported her and slowly walked to the rest area:
"You did it, everyone was conquered by you, including me."
Dawn opened his eyes and gave him a bright smile, "That's good."
The next day, noon.
The atmosphere in Glory Square was even more lively than the previous two days.
Because today, a new Kalos Queen will be born!
The stage was rearranged and became more grand than before.
There is a raised command platform on each side of the stage, and an extremely wide performance area in the center.
On the holographic projection screen, huge golden fonts printed out the two sides of today's duel.
Challenger: Dawn.
Defender: Ai'er.
"After three rounds of fierce competition, the winner of the free exhibition competition has been born!"
Pierre's voice echoed throughout the venue:
"She is, from Sinnoh Region, the top Coordinator, Dawn player known as Sinnoh Princess!"
"Today, she will challenge our current Kalos Queen, Miss Aier, on the main stage of Glory Plaza!"
The audience burst into enthusiastic cheers again.
"Will the challenger be crowned successfully, or will the defender continue to protect her throne? The answer will be revealed soon!"
"First of all, let us welcome both players to the stage with the warmest applause!"
On both sides of the stage, lift platforms slowly rise.
On the left, Aier appears in the light.
Today she was wearing a pure white off-the-shoulder dress with a waterfall-like hem. It was embroidered with special patterns with silver thread, and her long light red hair was tied into an elegant bun.
On the right, Dawn takes the stage.
Her clothing choice was the original white dress from Sinnoh Princess.
Her long hair is decorated with tiny diamond hair accessories, a blue ribbon symbolizing Piplup is tied around her waist, and a white necklace in the shape of an eternal flower is worn around her neck.
The two met in the center of the stage and shook hands.
"Miss Ai'er, please give me some advice."
Dawn bowed slightly and showed thoughtful etiquette.
"Dawn, I have finally waited for the day when I can officially show off with you."
Aier held Dawn's hand and smiled sincerely:
"Your performance in the exhibition match was really amazing. I watched the video many times, and every time there was new discovery and shock."
"Thank you. Miss Aier's performance is the recognized benchmark of Kalos. I have always looked forward to the opportunity to learn from you."
Dawn said humbly.
Aier asked curiously, "Speaking of which, are all the Pokémon Contests over there as good as you?"
She was half joking and half serious. "If so, I would like to buy a plane ticket immediately to study at Sinnoh."
Dawn couldn't help but laugh, "Actually, I am very ordinary. Among Sinnoh and Hoenn, there are many, many seniors who are better than me."
"In terms of real power, Master Wallace is the unrivaled peak in the field of Pokémon Contest. He is the goal I have been chasing."
"Master Wallace, you must see his performance with your own eyes if you have the opportunity."
Ai'er's eyes showed yearning.
The conversation between the two people was clearly transmitted throughout the audience through the microphone. There was no smell of gunpowder, just mutual appreciation between top performers.
In the audience, Serena clenched his fists nervously. "It's about to start! It's about to start! I'm so nervous! More nervous than I am during my own competition!"
Mi Rufei clasped her hands together. "Both of them are super strong! No matter who wins, it will definitely be the best performance!"
Although Emilia didn't speak, she held the fan slightly harder and her eyes were fixed on the stage.
She had to admit that the aura of the two people on the stage was indeed worthy of the status of queen.
Xiaoyun sat there quietly, his eyes always following Dawn, with a faint smile on his lips.
His girl shines particularly brightly today.
On the stage, Pierre announced, "Then, according to the order of drawing lots, the first person to perform is Miss Aier!"
The lights dimmed, leaving only a chasing light following her.
"It's about to happen, my friends."
Aier said softly and threw out three Poké Ball.
Three white lights flashed almost simultaneously.
In the center, Delphox landed gracefully, with the wooden stick in his hand gently tapping the ground, and his jewel-like eyes scanning the whole place, carrying a mysterious aura.
On the left, Aromatisse appears spinning like a dancer in a tutu, exuding a faint fragrance.
On the right, a pink butterfly flies lightly, its colorful wings reflecting a Mew-like halo under the light.
"Let's get started!"
Aier's voice is gentle but full of power:
"Delphox, Mystical Fire! Aromatisse, Aromatherapy! Pink butterfly, Silver Wind!"
Delphox's wooden stick Spit Up flames, the flames are divided into dozens of small fire streams in the air, turning into ribbons like living things.
Aromatherapy of Aromatisse turned into green healing light points. These light points flew towards Mystical Fire and blended with the flame!
The Blue Pink Butterfly's Silver Wind held up these fire flowers, turning the entire stage into a Mew sky garden.
The performance reaches its climax.
Ai'er's eyes narrowed and she put her right hand on her chest.
"It's time~Delphox--let us go beyond the limit!"
There, a brooch inlaid with Key Stone is Illuminate.
"Mega Evolution!"
"Wu!"
The top of the wooden stick in Delphox's hand, Mega Stone burst out with dazzling light!
The light wraps it, and its form changes in the light!
When the light dissipates, Mega Delphox appears!
Its ears become more slender, like the brim of a wizard's hat, and its hair becomes more fluffy and gorgeous.
There was a thick burning branch under his feet, and several small wooden sticks were suspended beside him.
Rotom next to Xiaoyun starts the introduction:
"Super Delphox"
"Attribute: Psychic type+Fire-type"
"Introduction: Not only can you control 3000℃Fire Spin, but you can also predict the future by staring at the flames at the tip of the staff. On the surface, he is a calm and sinister magic master, but privately he is a mentor to younger generations. He will patiently Coaching Fennekin practice his moves."
"Mega Evolution! It's really Mega Evolution!"
"Super Delphox looks so strong!"
"Queen Aier indeed has a trump card!"
"As expected of Queen Aier!"
Aier waved her arms. "Psychic!"
Super Delphox's eyes condensed, and the powerful Psychic type power burst out!
But combine the previous flames, fragrance, Shield Dust, and whirlwind!
In the eyes of the audience, the fairy tale told by the flames was partially realized by Psychic type force!
The flame castle has a clearer outline, the flame flowers seem to smell the fragrance, and a Celadon path composed of Shield Dust appears next to the running flame pony.
The entire stage has turned into a Mew kingdom of reality and fantasy!
Slowly rise, when reaching the highest point.
Bang!
With a soft sound, the kingdom turned into countless light spots, like golden rain, gently falling on the entire place.
The performance is over.
Aier and her three Pokémon bowed in greeting.
"Wow--!!!"
"Ai'er! Ai'er! Ai'er!"
"Queen of love! Queen forever!"
"So beautiful! I cried!"
The audience cheered.
The applause lasted for a full two and a half minutes, and Pierre was suppressed several times when he tried to speak.
This is the strength of Kalos Queen!
The moves of multiple Pokémon are perfectly integrated to create such a complete and warm performance world!
"She is indeed the queen of love! The three Pokémons work together perfectly! Mega Evolution is the finishing touch!"
Shauna applauded excitedly.
"Warm, gorgeous, and full of imagination." Mi Rufei's eyes were full of longing.
Emilia was silent.
This is the goal she has always wanted to surpass, and it is indeed very impressive.
Ash rarely calmed down and said seriously, "Queen Aier and her Pokémon have such a deep bond. Each one has given full play to its own specialties and they work together like one person."
At the judges' table, Ba Xi's eyes were full of pride:
"Ai'er's performance today had a warm theme throughout, and the technical aspects were impeccable. She has improved compared to last year."
Other judges said, "Unless the performance of contestant Dawn can reach the height of yesterday, then today, Miss Aier will successfully defend her title."
The pressure came to Dawn.
Dawn stood on the command platform, his expression still calm.
She looked at Aier's slightly panting but bright-eyed look after her performance, the excited reactions of the audience, and the unstinting praise from the judges, and she couldn't help but feel the will to fight in her heart.
It is the greatest honor to be on the same stage with such an opponent.
"Next is the performance time for contestant Dawn! The same ten minutes!"
Pierre's voice was filled with excitement.
Dawn bowed slightly to the judges and audience, and then she took out three Poké Ball.
Needless to say, she gently threw Poké Ball into the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
On the left, a small hedgehog-like Shaymin appears.
In the center, Floette appears elegantly in the form of an eternal flower.
On the right, a petite, princess-like Diancie landed gracefully.
"Hiss--!"
Looking at this lineup, the whole audience gasped!
"It's alive! It's Diancie who's alive?!"
"The legendary Diamond Princess Diancie?"
"Oh my God! I'm not dreaming!"
"Is that little hedgehog Shaymin? The legendary Mythical Pokémon."
"That Floette doesn't seem to be simple either. Could it be that it's mutated?"
"Mythical Pokémon plus rare Pokémon, this lineup is too heroic."
At the judges' table, even the well-informed Ba Xi stood up, his eyes widened:
"This, this child..."
Ai'er was on the other side of the stage, looking at Dianxi next to Dawn, showing a helpless smile.
Diamond Princess Diancie, Kalos Who doesn't know this legend?
Shauna covered his mouth with both hands. "Dawn, that's amazing."
Emilia's folding fan fell to the ground with a clatter, and she forgot to pick it up:
"Are you kidding? This is nothing compared to..."
She comes from a good family and has seen many rare Pokémon, but Mythical Pokémon is too much.
Mi Rufei's eyes were full of admiration. "As expected of Miss Dawn."
Xiaoyun sat there, looking at Dawn who was the center of attention on the stage, with a proud smile on his face.
If the dragon king's smile is revealed at this time, and the three-year period is up, and the barrage of welcoming the queen's return is added, the program's effect will be full.
On the stage, Dawn finally spoke, his voice as clear as a spring:
"Shaymin, Seed Flare. Floette, Dazzling Gleam. Dianxi, Diamond Storm!"
She paused and raised the corners of her mouth with a gentle curve:
"Let us bring the scenery of Sinnoh here~"
The show begins.
Dawn took out Gracidea Flower, and Shaymin immediately turned into Sky Forme.
Shaymin rises in the wind, blooms with dazzling light, and interweaves into a sea of flowers above the stage.
"Flower~"
At the same time, Floette raised the eternal flower in his hand.
The flowers bloomed with soft pink light, like the first ray of sunshine in spring, turning into countless tiny points of light and actively flying towards the sea of flowers created by Shaymin.
Golden light beams, pink flowers.
But this is not enough.
"Mega Evolution!"
Dianxi clasped her hands together, and the diamond on her chest burst out with dazzling light!
In the light, the long skirt became more fluffy and gorgeous, and the diamond crown on her head became even bigger and brighter.
Mega Diancie, appears!
"Mega Evolution! Another Mega Evolution!"
"Dianxi's Mega Evolution form... so beautiful..."
"What is the origin of this person? Is Sinnoh hiding a wealthy daughter?!"
Mega Diancie floated gently, raising his hands gracefully.
It raised its hands lightly, and countless tiny diamonds were formed out of thin air.
Diamond Storm.
The dazzling rain of diamonds flew towards the light pillar and the flower, embedded in the light pillar and dotted among the petals.
The entire venue was filled with the scene of Mew.
Just when everyone thought it was over.
Dawn raised his hands and made a hugging gesture.
The three Pokémon seemed to have received some kind of instructions.
The rainbow light of Shaymin turns into the sky and clouds.
The light of Floette's flowers turns into forests and fields.
Diancie's diamonds began to build a city.
Dawn Close your eyes and sing a cappella again.
"Jade Theme Song "Together""
"Steadfast with Last Resort"
"Get over the tall Mt. Coronet"
"Who will you conquer next time? Where will you meet?"
"This feeling of excitement is like staying at Secret Base"
As she sang, the scene on the stage changed again.
This is no ordinary city.
It was a Mew-like city built entirely of diamonds, suspended in the air.
And below the city, the light of Shaymin forms the veins of the earth, and the flowers of Floette cover the fields.
Xiaoyun looked at this familiar place and blurted out. "Mt. Coronet, Jubilife City, Eterna City, Dawn are recreating the scenery of Sinnoh!"
Yes, Dawn is recreating Sinnoh Region.
Even Xiaoyun doesn't know.
For Dawn, this is no simple map.
That was the land where they lived, grew up, traveled, fought, and finally gained glory.
The lake water at Lake Verity is clear and bright.
Alamos Town's Space-Time Towers still shines.
In the field of flowers, it seems that you can see the beginning of Solaceon Town, the beauty of Hearthome City, and the lighthouse of Sunyshore City...
Finally, at the intersection of rays of light, a majestic Mt. Coronet rises from the ground.
At the top of the mountain, the symbol of time and space is slowly rotating.
"The performance is called, Sinnoh Light."
Dawn opened his eyes and whispered the name of the performance.
The power reaches its peak at this moment.
Shaymin's Seed Flare reaches the extreme.
The eternal flower in Floette's hand broke away from its hand and flew slowly to the top of Mt. Coronet's mountain.
Dianxi clasped his hands together, and the light of all the cities began to shrink and slowly dissipate.
The light blends into the air and turns into golden warmth.
The flowers blend into the memory, leaving behind a pink fragrance.
Diamonds blend into time and become dazzling eternity.
When the last bit of light dissipated, only Dawn was left on the stage, and three Mythical Pokémon returned to her.
The performance is over.
Bang bang bang bang!!
There is no sharp Growl, only applause that lasts longer than any time before.
Many viewers were so excited that they burst into tears. They couldn't tell what moved them.
Is it the ultimate beauty? Is it the grand artistic conception?
Maybe both.
All they knew was that they had witnessed a legendary performance that they might never see again in their lifetime.
At the judges' table, Ba tide was already in tears.
This strict instructor actually cried over a performance at this moment.
When the camera turned to her, she just said lightly:
"I don't know how to rate it. Maybe this is beyond the scope of the rating..."
There were also tears in Aier's eyes, but they were not tears of sadness, but tears of being moved by the ultimate beauty and feeling happy that she could participate in such a duel.
She lost.
But she was convinced of her defeat.
Emilia looked at Dawn on the stage and said softly, "A monster, but a respectable monster."
Serena looked at the stage blankly, then looked at Ash and the others who were also stunned, and murmured:
"Do I usually travel with Dawn like this?"
We are all good friends, how come you become an art master as soon as you take the stage?
Host Pierre's voice was trembling:
"So... now please use the voting machines in your hands to rate the performances of the two contestants!"
On the big screen, the support rate histogram representing the two contestants began to jump rapidly!
Aier's approval rating was very high at first, after all, she is a deeply trusted Kalos Queen.
But Dawn's support rate soared like a rocket, quickly approaching, and then... surpassing!
Finally, when the counting stops, the final result is displayed on the big screen:
Dawn:68%
Aier:32%
The new Kalos Queen is born!
"The results are out!"
Pierre shouted excitedly, "After the audience's choice, I announce that the winner of this Pokémon Showcase high-level competition, the new Kalos Queen is..."
"Dawn!!!"
"Congratulations to player Dawn! He is crowned as the new Kalos Queen!"
Bang! Bang!
Golden ribbons fall from the sky! The music sounds exciting!
Spotlight all hit Dawn!
"Dawn! Dawn! Dawn!"
The audience chanted her name rhythmically, the sound getting louder and louder.
Shaymin, Floette, and Dian Xi gathered around her and accepted the cheers from the audience together with her.
"I won! I really won!"
Serena jumped up excitedly in the audience, grabbed the arm of Ash next to him and shook it wildly.
Bonnie shouted excitedly, "Sister Dawn is now Kalos Queen!"
Shauna also applauded vigorously, his eyes full of admiration for Dawn.
Mi Rufei put her hands together on her chest, her admiration almost overflowing.
Emilia looked at the radiant Dawn on the stage, with a complicated expression in her eyes, and whispered to herself:
"It's really not a shame to lose to such an opponent."
Aier was the first to react.
She turned around to face Dawn, with a sincere smile on her face, and stretched out her hand:
"Congratulations, Dawn. You are well deserved."
"Today's performance allowed me to see a new and broader world, thank you."
Dawn held Aier's hand and praised:
"Miss Ai'er's performance was also heart-warming. I was able to win this game because of luck..."
"No need to comfort me."
Ai'er interrupted her, shook her head, and smiled softly, "I lost, but I lost very happily because I saw a real performance, which is more valuable than defending my title ten times."
At this time, Pierre came over and handed the crown symbolizing Kalos Queen to Aier.
According to tradition, the outgoing queen crowns the new queen.
Aier took the crown, turned to Dawn and said softly, "Lower your head a little, and I will help you put it on."
Dawn lowered his head slightly.
"Okay~"
Aier took a step back and looked at it carefully, her eyes full of admiration. "It suits you very well, Dawn. The white dress and diamond crown make you look like a real princess."
"No, the real queen."
She lifted up her skirt and bowed gracefully:
"From today on, you are the new Kalos Queen."
"Thank you."
Feeling the weight on her head, Dawn also lifted up her skirt and bowed slightly.
The two girls looked at each other and smiled in the golden rain.
This moment was captured by countless cameras and became one of the most classic moments in the history of satellite games.
Ai'er looked at the radiant Dawn in front of her and suddenly said, "After being the queen of Kalos for so long, I feel that my vision and inspiration are somewhat limited. I think it's time to travel, see the wider world, and find new breakthroughs and inspiration like you."
Dawn listened carefully and expressed his understanding:
"That's great. If you are interested, Aier, why not consider joining Pokémon Contest. There are many coordinators with different styles, and there are also large-scale celebrations that Master Wallace will occasionally attend. I believe they will help you."
"Coordinator? Sounds like a great idea."
Ai'er thought about it seriously, then smiled,
"It's decided, my next stop will be Sinnoh! Then I may have to ask you to be my guide."
"Dawn Queen~"
"You're always welcome."
Dawn nodded, then smiled and said, "But forget about the queen or something, it sounds weird, just call me Dawn."
"Yeah! Dawn!"
Aier nodded vigorously.
The two hugged again, and the audience burst into applause.
It brings an end to this showdown in which there are no losers, only the inheritance of art and the birth of friendship.
Amid cheers, Dawn held up the gorgeous trophy symbolizing Kalos Queen.
Xiaoyun stood at the front of the crowd, looked at her quietly, gave her a thumbs up, and mouthed:
"Proud of you."
Dawn smiled, and that smile was more dazzling than the trophy in his hand.
"It's another update, it's interesting, isn't it?"
