After the blue-haired girl finished changing in the walk-in closet, she ran up to him like a shy girlfriend and asked him a question. Bai Ye looked up and examined her carefully before praising her.
The costumes for the Grand Contest are never meant to be revealing; they simply need to showcase the trainer's style.
For the conservative Xiaoguang, who had long been in love with him, she would never choose clothes that were considered revealing or sexy. Instead, she wore a long, flowing dress that reached her ankles and covered her snow-white body.
Whether it's her slender, fair legs, her soft, smooth buttocks, or her round, fragrant breasts, everything is completely covered by thick fabric, so even during vigorous activities like jumping and spinning, nothing will be exposed.
"Hee hee~"
Xiao Guang's lips unconsciously curled up in a smile upon receiving the praise, radiating youthful energy.
Just a few minutes later, Bai Ye looked at the fitted black suit he had been forced to change into and was both amused and exasperated.
The innocent and beautiful girl has finally revealed her true colors—
"Brother Baiye, come quickly, let me explain the rules of the competition to you."
"it is good."
After changing into their performance costumes and helping Xiaoyao to her seat in the audience, Baiye and Xiaoguang headed straight for the contestants' waiting room.
Because the start time of the competition was approaching, there were almost no people in the passageway, except for a green-haired young man wearing a white sailor hat who was walking towards us.
Hmm...why does this person look so familiar?
Bai Ye, who had been pondering as he stepped aside slightly to make way for the green-haired youth and caught up with Xiao Guang's pace, pondered.
"Uncle? The staff are already calling you to the judges' panel."
A soft, girlish voice drifted from backstage at the Grand Contest venue.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The green-haired youth, who was being called by the girl, had his head down, as if he was searching for something using a communicator.
Seeing this, the staff, all dressed in black uniforms, also chose to stand silently to the side.
After all, the man wearing a white sailor hat and a specially made emerald green cloak was the initiator of this Mikkelsen Cup.
Recognized as one of the world's top Coordinators, Wallace is the Gym Leader of the Sootopolis Gym in the Hoenn region and has been appointed by Steven Stone as the next Hoenn Champion.
"Miss Lucia, are you confident about this competition?"
"Of course! Xiao Qingqing and I have practiced for a long time and have mastered a brand new special move. We are sure to win the Mikuri Cup Grand Contest this year!"
"Evening~"
When asked by a female staff member, the emerald-haired girl who was feeding the Tanabata with energy cubes looked up and answered confidently.
Influenced by her mother, Rukia also embarked on the path of becoming a Trainer, just like her uncle Michael.
In just two years since her debut, she has won numerous Grand Contests in the Hoenn region and ultimately won second place in the Slateport Grand Festival, just one step away from the title of Top Coordinator.
In order to further improve her coordination skills, Lucia embarked on a journey to the Sinnoh region, determined to win her first Grand Contest victory.
"Hmm...maybe not this time."
Michael shook his head and stood up, calmly interrupting his niece's confident words.
Not only Bai Ye felt that the person looked familiar, but Mikoli, after passing by him in the passageway, also felt inexplicably like she had seen him somewhere before, and even his name sounded familiar.
After some searching, he finally found the relevant information about the young man.
"As expected... it's that trainer who repelled the beast tide in Sunnyside Forest!"
Mikoli looked at the replay of the match that had finally finished playing on the screen in front of him and sighed.
White Night defeated a Pokémon hunter with the strength of the Elite Four in a head-on battle, and wielded the legendary Pokémon Articuno. That resume alone is enough to leave people speechless.
Based on his performance, he should possess championship-level ability, and is even more likely to be stronger.
Also... judging from their attire, they don't seem to be spectators, but rather there for the Mikkelsen Cup?
"Lucia, we can't underestimate our opponent later. A very strong trainer is also participating in this Grand Contest."
"Eh?"
Ryukia, hailed as the most dazzling new star among the new generation of Hoenn Coordinators and known as "Ryukia," was stunned for a moment.
She watched her uncle Michael, who hadn't offered any further explanation, walk silently toward the judges' table, and fell into deep thought.
Who is this contestant who commands the attention of even top-tier coordination trainers?!
Chapter 185 The Mature Woman in the Purple Dress, the Nurse with Milk Peach-like Skin, and the Girl in the White Dress
After half an hour.
The grand competition venue.
"The encounter between humans and Pokémon is joyful. Welcome to the city of Fenrir, a place where hearts connect!"
"I am Bai An, the host of this event."
Under the dazzling stage lights, Ms. Baian, who was hosting the Sinnoh Grand Contest, was full of energy. She held up a medal with a main body carved from a sapphire and gave her opening speech in a loud voice.
"The coordinator who decisively wins the competition will be awarded this Azure Ribbon Medal. It serves as one of the tickets to participate in the grand celebrations held in various league regions. Good luck to everyone!"
"Alright, now please welcome our three judges for this year's Mikkelsen Cup competition—"
"As expected... I wasn't mistaken just now."
Sitting in the contestants' waiting room, Bai Ye looked at the green-haired youth who was the first to be in the spotlight and nodded to himself.
Wallace, the Gym Leader of Sootopolis City and the future Champion of the Hoenn region, is like Lance, whom he met in Hiyori Forest, and belongs to the ceiling of trainers' combat power in the Pokémon world.
As a key initiator of this grand competition, he undoubtedly sits in the center of the judging panel.
Sitting a little further to the left is Nurse Joy, a nurse at the Pokémon Center in Yosuga City.
Her face was gentle and beautiful, and she wore a conservative pink and white nurse's uniform that softly covered her graceful figure.
Her full, round breasts, as smooth and juicy as ripe peaches, her fair and delicate pink buttocks, and her slender, jade-like legs, all of which belonged to a mature woman, were completely covered by thick fabric.
A white square nurse's cap hung down over her cherry-pink long hair, and together with the gentle nurse's lowered eyes and slight smile, it added to her pure, clean, and elegant temperament.
As for the right side
"Huh? Is it Museum Owner Melissa?"
Xiaoyao, who had secretly slipped away from the audience to the contestants' waiting room and sat down next to Baiye, asked in surprise.
For this pure and lovely chestnut-haired girl, the figure who finally stood up to greet the audience undoubtedly brought back some unpleasant memories—her first battle at the dojo was when she was defeated by this mature woman in a purple dress, shattering her dojo spirit.
But shouldn't Miss Melissa be guarding the Fate Gym? Why is she here at the Mikkuri Cup as a judge?
"Hmm," Hikari felt the warmth of Byakuya's hand on her palm, and shyly turned her blushing face away, trying to distract herself as she explained to Haruka, "If I remember correctly, Miss Melissa is not only a Gym Leader, but also a top-tier Coordinator."
"Her motto is to focus on the elegance of combat and how to defeat her opponent in a more graceful way."
"I see." *Chirp chirp~*
Haruka and the turkey nodded their heads in bewilderment.
Because of their swift defeat in the previous gym challenge, their first impression of this beautiful, mature woman—with her long, flowing purple hair elegantly styled and dressed in a magnificent gown—was devoid of elegance, only displaying the brutal crushing power of her battles.
Hearing the sound of the girl beside him swallowing in fear, Bai Ye, who had been looking up at the mature woman in the purple dress on the screen, couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
Fortunately, Xiaoyao didn't choose to sign up this time.
The Grand Contest is divided into two stages: the Performance Round and the Grand Battle.
In the first round of performances, the Coordinator needs to showcase the charm of Pokémon with a dazzling combination of moves, and the three judges will score them out of ten points.
In the next few rounds of spectacular battles, Coordinators will draw lots for a five-minute timed duel. The score will be reduced by judging the completeness and flair of the moves used, thus selecting the final winner.
It is worth noting that each contestant may only use one Pokémon in their performance throughout the entire event; otherwise, they will be disqualified for violating the rules.
"Alright, let's begin the competition now."
After some opening remarks and pleasantries, Miss Bai'an waved her arm and shouted enthusiastically.
"First review, solo performance on stage!"
"Please welcome our first trainer to the stage—"
At this moment, Bai Ye looked at the beautiful figure that appeared on the screen in the contestants' waiting room and asked in surprise.
Another extremely familiar face.
Amidst thunderous applause, a beautiful young woman in a pure white long dress slowly walked onto the brightly lit stage.
Her long, emerald-green hair cascaded down her shoulders, complementing her fair and delicate face. Even with a hint of childishness in her eyes, her exquisite and elegant beauty, like a work of art, made her seem like a born elegant idol.
"Sister Xiaoguang, why does it feel like everyone's cheering has suddenly become much louder?"
"Hmm...she's Master Mikuri's niece, the lady known as Rukia~"
At this moment, Hikaru undoubtedly became Haruka's mentor in the Grand Contest and a ruthless answering machine.
She pursed her lips and pondered for a moment before introducing herself to the puzzled chestnut-haired girl beside her.
"I heard that Ms. Lucia's ace Pokémon is Altaria. She has only been a Pokémon for two years, yet she won second place in the Hoenn Grand Festival. She is an extremely skilled Pokémon Coordinator."
"Oh~"
As they whispered among themselves, the emerald-haired girl deftly struck a performance pose.
"Here it comes, Rukia's first appearance at the Mikuri Cup—"
"Little Qingqing, making her dazzling debut!"
"Evening~"
At this moment, in the brightly lit center of the venue, a thin mist, like wisps of cloud, permeated the entire space.
As a loud, clear chant echoed, a sky-blue figure slowly appeared, flapping its wings. With just a flap of its wings, soft wisps of mist, illuminated by the bright lights, drifted down like tiny silver sparks, weaving a flowing starry curtain in the air.
"The moment it was released from the Poké Ball, it immediately unleashed the White Mist?"
Bai Ye's eyes lit up.
In Pokémon battles, the [Mist] move grants the user immunity to stat reductions from opponents for a certain period of time.
However, this Ms. Lucia, in conjunction with the stage lighting, transformed ordinary moves into a dazzling performance befitting a Pokémon's first appearance.
A very experienced coordination trainer's technique—
"Little Qingqing, use the singing skill!"
Amidst the falling silvery mist, the Altaria, having folded its wings and landed, once again spread its fluffy wings under the trainer's command, while its clear, melodious song emanated from its slightly parted beak, rippling outwards like clear water waves.
The bass is deep and resonant like a dragon's roar, while the treble is clear and melodious like a bird's song.
The beautiful humming unique to the Qixi Bluebird clan, coupled with the pre-planned entrance of [White Mist], instantly captured the attention of all the audience members present.
Rukia bowed slightly and gracefully gave the final instruction.
"The power of the moon."
"evening!!!"
Just as the song reached its climax, the Qixi Bluebird looked up at the dome.
The cherry-pink glow gradually appeared amidst the silvery mist, expanding from a new moon to a full moon like a reverse lunar eclipse.
The moonlight and silver dust in the sky moved with the melodious singing, like several flowing galaxies winding and falling, giving the emerald-haired girl with long hair and the Qixi bluebird in the center of the stage an even more elegant and beautiful halo.
Chapter 186 Who's the kind person who used Suicune to blast fish?! (3300 words)
"So awesome~"
Looking at the magnificent scene inside the venue, Xiao Guang exclaimed in amazement.
It must be said that this combination of [White Mist] + [Singing] + [Moon Power] is indeed very creative.
Like a pale pink full moon bathed in the first bloom of cherry blossoms, hanging in the sky, while the mist, illuminated by the stage lights, resembles stardust as it drifts down from the moon's edge, trailing a trail lighter than mist and softer than gauze, following the song's melody, creating a dreamlike scene of a galaxy singing.
The moment Rukia finished her performance, the entire audience erupted in cheers, and all three judges gave her a perfect score.
Bai Ye nodded in agreement, his face full of admiration.
Although he hadn't studied much about Coordinators, he could tell that this emerald-haired girl's coordination skills far surpassed those of her peers.
Whether it's the precise control over the energy of the Qixi Bluebird's song or the deliberate compression of the [moon's power] to make it slowly unfold like a reverse lunar eclipse, it's all breathtaking.
With such a high-scoring and dazzling performance as a precedent, the pressure on the contestants who were about to appear suddenly increased.
When it was Xiaoguang's turn to perform, she used the [Bubble Ray] + [Peck] combination technique that she had shown before.
