After walking out of the office, Xiaoyun felt refreshed.
I was able to watch my girlfriend compete at public expense, and I also flirted with Paul. It was a good deal.
Then, he met...Aaron at the corner.
"Hey, Xiaoyun! Why are you going? Are you so happy?"
Xiaoyun paused:
"Go out to work! Go to Lake Valor, Grand Festival needs representative Pokémon League to be in charge."
"Work is work. Why are you so stubborn? It's like anyone who doesn't work."
Aaron curled his lips, but a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.
He wants to go too! Grand Festival, so many beautiful Coordinator, so many cute Pokémon, and his fans! This is obviously a stage prepared for his idol Elite Four! Why let Xiaoyun go!
But he didn't dare to say it.
Since Paul took office, their work attitude has been strictly supervised, and their time for fishing has been greatly reduced. It is called teamwork.
Fortunately, Lucian is a workaholic to begin with, but he and Flint are miserable. Magikarp seems to have had his soul drained out every day, and has no love in his life.
Xiaoyun continued walking downstairs. Halfway there, he suddenly turned around and shouted to Aaron:
"By the way Aaron, Paul may want to find someone to practice sparring with at noon, please be careful."
"What the hell, you're still practicing!"
Aaron's hand shook and he shuddered subconsciously.
Isn't this guy really tired?
Lake Valor, Sinnoh One of the three largest lakes.
The surface of the lake is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, and the scenery is breathtaking.
Beside the lake, a huge white building that looks like a blooming flower rises from the ground.
Sinnoh Grand Festival main venue.
Coordinators and their Pokémons from all over Sinnoh come together.
"I'm so nervous, Dawn."
In the player lounge, Zoey was arranging his performance clothes in front of the mirror.
It is still a neutral style of clothing, cool and sassy.
"Relax, Zoey, don't be stressed, you are well prepared."
Dawn is also checking her own outfit. Today she wore an aqua blue dress with a wavy hem that looked refreshing and full of Hustle.
"That's what I said..."
Zoey really wants to say.
Sister, the source of my stress is you.
Anyway, I hope I can survive five minutes...
At this moment, there was a commotion outside and the roar of a helicopter propeller.
"What's going on?"
Zoey curiously walked to the window and opened the curtains.
I saw a black helicopter with smooth lines and the Sinnoh League emblem printed on it, slowly landing on the special apron outside the venue.
The wind picked up by the propeller blew the surrounding flags and attracted everyone's attention.
"It's Pokémon League's special plane!" some viewers exclaimed.
"Who is coming? Such a big battle?"
"Which Elite Four is it? Flint Elite Four?"
"It's possible! Flint Elite Four likes this high-profile style
"That makes sense!"
Flint at work: First of all, I didn't provoke any of you.
Wait, why should I say it too?
Zoey squinted for a while, then suddenly turned his head and gave Dawn a narrow smile:
"Dawn, isn't this the guy from your family? He's so high-profile, it's very much like his style."
Dawn also walked to the window and looked at the helicopter, suddenly having a premonition in his heart.
She recalled that when she was on the phone with Xiaoyun in the morning, he said vaguely, "I have some work today, so I may not be able to go to the scene," but his tone was obviously wrong.
And the helicopter... isn't it a bit too ostentatious?
Sure enough, the helicopter door opened and a figure walked out.
Wearing a straight formal suit, wearing a cape embroidered with gold patterns that symbolizes the glory of the Sinnoh championship.
He straightened his collar, revealing a young and handsome face with a confident smile on his lips.
The pace is calm and the aura is strong. Wherever he passes, the crowd automatically separates into a path.
Not Xiaoyun, who is it?
"It's really him..."
Dawn held his forehead, feeling a little ashamed, but he couldn't help but want to laugh.
This guy, just watch the game, why are you having such a big fight?
Wear a cape and sunglasses and make it look like you are walking on the red carpet.
What should I do if other girls see it?
The scene was quiet for a second, and then--
"Wow--!!!"
"Champion! It's the champion!"
"Oh my God! The champion is here in person!"
"So handsome! Mr. Champion is so handsome!"
"Take pictures! Take pictures quickly!"
The auditorium is in a state of shock!
Everyone stood up, stretched their necks, and turned on their mobile phones and cameras, and the Flash lights lit up!
The media reporters pushed forward like crazy, trying to grab the best position.
Xiaoyun stood on the tarmac, feeling the eyes from all directions, listening to the cheers like a tsunami, and feeling secretly happy.
Right, this is what a champion should look like!
Approving documents in the office until you are bald is not a champion! Coming out to receive cheers is the right way!
"Master Champion! May I ask in what capacity do you come to watch Grand Festival today?"
"Master Champion, what are your expectations for this year's Grand Festival?"
"Are you optimistic about a certain player?"
Reporters swarmed him and aimed their guns and cannons at him.
Xiaoyun stopped, faced the camera, and showed a standard, impeccable official smile:
"Pokémon Contest is an important stage to show the bond and beauty between Pokémon and the trainer. I am looking forward to seeing the surprises brought by the players."
He paused and looked at the camera, his eyes a little gentle:
"Of course, I will also cheer for all the players and hope that they can show their best selves."
After all, after being a champion for several months, it is still not easy to say a few words.
There should be bgm at this moment
"You came from Dandong~looking at the white snow~~wanting to eat Guangdong food~~"
Dawn was watching the live broadcast on the screen in the lounge. Hearing Xiaoyun's words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
This guy seems quite serious when it comes to seriousness.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the official statement is watertight."
Zoey teased from the side:
"But when I said cheers for all the players at the end, my eyes were looking towards us~"
"Zoey!"
Dawn said coquettishly.
Subsequently, Xiaoyun walked into the venue and came to the judges' seat under the guidance of the staff.
The judges' seat is at the best position right in front of the stage, and three judges are already sitting there.
"Mr. Contesta, Mr. Sukizo, Nurse Joy, hello."
Xiaoyun walked over and took the initiative to say hello, with a humble attitude.
"Oh my! He is the champion! Welcome, welcome! You can come, it really makes this Grand Festival Pengpi shine!"
Contesta stood up and shook hands with Xiaoyun,
"Yes, the champion is here in person, I like this!"
Sukizo also greeted him warmly.
Xiaoyun: Dah! You can't like it!
"Hello, Mr. Champion." Nurse Joy nodded gracefully with a gentle smile.
"You two are welcome, just call me Xiaoyun."
Xiaoyun smiled and said, "I'm here today to learn and see how outstanding our Sinnoh's Coordinators are. However, we have to rely on three experts for the review work, so I don't dare to overshadow the competition."
These words gave the three judges enough face, which not only showed that Pokémon League valued it, but also would not interfere with the professional evaluation. The three of them were very happy to hear it, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Xiaoyun sat down at the reserved guest seat, next to the judges' seat, with an excellent view.
He looked around the venue. The venue, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, was packed with seats, the lights were flashing, and the atmosphere was warm.
"It's really grand."
Xiaoyun thought to himself that when Dawn appears on the stage, he will definitely become the brightest star in the audience.
Soon, the qualifiers began.
Dozens of Coordinator appeared on stage one after another, showing off their tacit performance with Pokémon.
There are elegant dances, dazzling skill combinations, and touching sitcoms, all wonderful.
"That Cinccino and Tail Slap combined with Swift create a galaxy artistic conception, which is very creative."
"That Leafeon's Magical Leaf dance requires very fine control of energy, and she did it beautifully."
"That Gyarados is actually dancing ballet? It's a bit scary, but full marks for creativity!"
Xiaoyun watched it with great interest, and occasionally exchanged a few words with Contesta next to him. This was much more interesting than batching documents.
"The next contestant is Dawn from Twinleaf Town!"
Soon, it was Dawn's turn.
As if feeling someone's gaze, Dawn suddenly turned his head and looked at the VIP seat.
Their eyes met in the air.
Dawn smiled as brightly as a flower, his eyes sparkled with surprise and sweetness, and he mouthed something.
Xiaoyun understands, what she said is:
"Smelly."
He also mouthed back:
"Come on."
Although the interaction between the two was brief, it was captured by sharp-eyed viewers and the media.
In an instant, all kinds of speculations and discussions started again.
"Who is the champion looking at?"
"Is that girl Coordinator? She has blue hair, so beautiful!"
"Dawn, you don't know? Sinnoh Princess, the favorite to win the championship!!"
"The champion knows her?"
"More than just knowing each other! I heard they are childhood sweethearts! The champion's girlfriend!"
"What?! The champion has a girlfriend? She is still so beautiful Coordinator! I am lovelorn..."
"What?! Miss Dawn has a boyfriend? She's still the champion! I'm heartbroken too..."
"Oh, you girls are really talented..."
Xiaoyun Listening to the discussions around him, I couldn't laugh or cry, but my heart felt sweet.
Immediately afterwards, Dawn started performing.
Dispatch Pokémon is Piplup and Lopunny.
The theme is Ocean with Moonlight.
Piplup uses Whirlpool to create a blue ocean, and Lopunny uses Baby-Doll Eyes and Sweet Kiss to turn it into bright Moonlight and stars.
Two Pokémon dance together on the sea, with tacit movements and sincere emotions, perfectly integrating the vastness of the ocean with the gentleness of Moonlight, as beautiful as a fairy tale.
At the judges' table.
Contesta: "The creativity is good and the connection is smooth."
Sukizo:"I like this."
Nurse Joy smiled, "Pokémon are all in good condition and their moves are controlled accurately."
The judges gave high scores and the audience responded enthusiastically.
The score temporarily ranks first.
Well, I can't rule out the possibility that there may be some elements of "My Champion Boyfriend" in it.
But Xiaoyun believes that Dawn can get this score even without him.
Next is Zoey.
The Pokémon dispatched are Absol and Glameow.
The theme is doom and luck.
Absol creates a mysterious, slightly Pressure atmosphere with Shadow Ball and Perish Song,
Glameow uses Charm, Thunder Wave, etc. to bring a warm light of hope.
Two Pokémon, with completely different temperaments, danced with wonderful harmony and contrast, with superb skills, and both received high scores.
The preliminaries continued, and other Coordinator also showed their strengths.
But the performances of Dawn and Zoey are undoubtedly the most eye-catching among them.
Finally, the qualifiers ended and the top 16 list was announced.
Dawn and Zoey advanced without any suspense and ranked first and second respectively.
After the qualifying round, it's time to rest.
Xiaoyun briefly communicated with the three judges, then left on the grounds that he wanted to have in-depth communication with the contestants and headed to the contestants' rest area.
With his status as the champion, he easily found Dawn and Zoey in the rest area who were discussing the performance just now.
The two had just changed out of their performance clothes and were wearing casual clothes, and were discussing the game just now.
"Dawn, Zoey, congratulations on advancing."
Xiaoyun walked over and smiled, his eyes mainly falling on Dawn.
"Xiaoyun! Why did you come here so quickly? Don't you have to accompany the judges?" Dawn saw him, his eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise.
"There are Mr. Contesta on the judges side, and I am just a nominal person."
Xiaoyun smiled and walked to Dawn naturally, "Your performance was wonderful, I was fascinated by it."
"Yo yo yo, Mr. Champion came to visit the class in person. It's so loving."
Zoey joked from the side, "Unlike me, I am alone and no one cares about me at all."
Xiaoyun glanced at her, knowing that the sisters were teasing, and happily cooperated:
"That's just right. Let's have dinner together. I'll treat you. Thank you for taking care of Dawn."
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Really? Then I'm not welcome! I want to eat the most expensive one!"
"Okay, just do whatever you want."
Xiaoyun waved his hand proudly.
Anyway, it can be reimbursed.
It should be possible, right? If not, how about deducting it from Paul's funds? Anyway, he works hard and gets a lot of bonuses.
Paul:??? Are you a human being?
The three of them chatted and laughed, left the venue, and came to an elegant restaurant by the lake.
The restaurant specializes in seafood, with fresh ingredients and delicious taste.
At the dining table, Zoey sat down opposite Xiaoyun in a wise manner, leaving the seat next to Dawn.
Dawn and Xiaoyun were sitting together. Although they did not make any intimate gestures, the natural sense of closeness could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
"Speaking of which, Xiaoyun, how do you feel about being the champion?"
Zoey asked curiously while chewing lobster:
"Isn't it very majestic? Many people come to you for autographs every day? Do you have special meals?"
Xiaoyun The corners of his mouth twitched, thinking of the mountains of documents, Flint Lucian Aaron those unreliable guys...
He said vaguely, "It's a bit presumptuous, and I occasionally get autographs. When it comes to eating, well, the cafeteria is quite delicious."
"Hey, your answer is too official."
Zoey clicked his tongue.
Dawn also pursed his lips and smiled, "Although Paul is strict, he is very reliable. With him here, your work will be much easier, right?"
"It's not just relaxing, it's simply liberating. With him here, those documents won't be a big deal."
Xiaoyun sighed with emotion, and his eyes became gentle. "Then, I will have time to come over and see you."
He said, holding Dawn's hand on the table.
Paul: Am I also a part of your paly?
Zoey: No, there's me too!
Zoey looked at the hands held by the two of them, and then looked at the empty plate in front of him.
Suddenly I felt full, as if I had been fed dog food.
"I suddenly remembered that, I still have a move to practice. You guys eat slowly, I'm leaving first!"
Zoey ran away based on the principle that he didn't want to be a light bulb, and he didn't forget to pick up a shrimp before leaving.
"She did it on purpose." Dawn said with a smile.
"I know. But it's just what I want."
Xiaoyun called the waiter to pay, and then held Dawn's hand:
"Let's go, it's still early, let's go for a walk, the scenery at Lake Valor is very beautiful."
