"Let's welcome the next contestant!"
The host's voice reached Baimu's ears.
He walked slowly out of the passageway, exposing himself to the gaze of all the audience and judges.
Although the Gorgeous Competition judges Pokémon, a pleasing Coordinator Trainer is also considered a highlight by the audience.
Baimu happened to possess a decent appearance, coupled with the willpower honed through multiple battles in Pyrite Town, and the authority when leading many team members, even just standing there made people look at him differently.
Not long after.
The audience's voices quieted down.
"Begin!"
He threw the Pokeball forward.
Boom!
Amidst the flying pink petals, a Mawile slowly emerged in a flash of white light, the red ribbon behind its head fluttering in the wind, with a crisp and pleasant bell sound ringing.
Ring ring ring~
"Chee duo~"
The tender voice mixed with the bell sound.
The three judges looked at Mawile, their eyes simultaneously brightening.
Excluding Miss Joy, the other two were extremely outstanding Breeders, able to instantly discern the appearance and condition of a Pokémon.
Mawile's entrance might not be the most stunning, but the elegance displayed in its movements, its sleek and shiny fur, and its enchanting eyes all proved that it was excellently bred.
Even the host couldn't help but praise, "What a cute Mawile!"
"Fairy Wind!"
Baimu softly commanded.
Mawile gracefully lifted its hands, moving serenely like a mischievous little elf in a flower garden, the red ribbon swaying in the wind, the Calming Bell emitting a soothing soft sound.
And whenever it gently leaped and spun on the ground, a gentle breeze with twinkling light pink particles would unfold.
The three judges closest were enchanted by Mawile's dance and the bell sound, then felt a refreshing scented wind arising, revitalizing them as if touched by a tender hand on a sweltering summer day, stirring their hearts.
What a dazzling Fairy Wind!
Among the judges, even with their vast knowledge, such a Fairy Wind was extremely rare.
Moreover, Mawile incorporated it into a graceful dance, executed perfectly and heartwarming!
When the gentle wind reached the audience, even though they restrained their words to avoid affecting the contestant's performance, such a spectacular scene made them exclaim in delight.
Mawile's dance was not yet finished.
Though there was no musical accompaniment, everyone could clearly perceive Mawile's jumping and spinning becoming faster, originally dancing around a large circle, and this circle was continuously shrinking.
Meanwhile, the gentle wind gradually turned swift and sharp, the bell sound dense, as if someone pressed the Acceleration button.
Suddenly.
Mawile's feet began to flicker with faint Electric Light, stepping into the sky!
At this point, it completely abandoned other dance movements, rapidly and intensely spinning in one direction in mid-air.
"Fire Fang—"
Baimu's voice was drowned by the bell sound, unheard by anyone; only Mawile understood that the final moment had come.
Its large jaws slowly opened, flames spilling between its lips and teeth, mixing with the Electric Light beneath its feet to form an orange-red brilliant light ring, and as the firepower increased, it spread from the light ring to all sides!
In an instant.
Bang!
The storm of intertwined flames and lightning completely enveloped Mawile's body, forming a spindle-shaped thunder and fire vortex.
The judges and audience's expressions shifted from appreciation to shock.
The rhythm accelerated from slow to fast, the short performance of slightly over a minute already captured their minds, their attention fully concentrated on the thunder and fire storm at the center of the stage.
Before long, the center of the thunder and fire storm began to swell as if energy had reached its peak.
The next moment.
Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~
The sound of tearing wind was heard, the thunderfire storm slanting open with a thin seam, gradually expanding into a curtain-like existence, revealing the lively-eyed Mawile inside.
It reached out and "pulled" the thunderfire storm, throwing it forward with force!
Boom!
The seemingly curtain-like orange-red storm immediately exploded, countless sparks scattered everywhere, transforming into flame butterflies entwined by tiny electric currents flying across the sky.
Ring~ ring~ ring~
The Calming Bell gently rang, akin to the sound of flame butterflies flapping their wings.
Everyone was captivated by this scenery, some even reaching out to touch the flame butterflies, wanting to keep them.
But they inevitably vanished silently before flying too far.
Mawile gracefully landed.
"Chee duo~"
Baimu exchanged a glance with it and bowed slightly to the audience—
A moment of quiet.
Then, the entire venue erupted!
Many audience members involuntarily stood up, offering thunderous applause to Baimu and Mawile, cheers and shouts echoed throughout the whole hall, praise was endless, as if all emotions burst at this very moment.
This was a performance they deemed worth the ticket price.
In mere one and a half minutes, the combination of dance and moves, the blend of cuteness and elegance, the beautiful and spectacular that pulled on heartstrings, the peak experience of sight and sound reached simultaneously!
Gorgeous grand celebration?
No.
This is merely the Gorgeous Competition!
"Beautiful! So beautiful! All sorts of moves gracefully revealed through the dance, the rhythm sped up step by step bringing transformation, the gentle Fairy Wind, the dazzling fire dance. Although the dance appeared a tad clumsy, the cuteness of Mawile brought a sense of youthful innocence..."
Gray-haired Patistan spoke tirelessly, with no sign of stopping.
Forcing the host to signal the studio to interrupt the sound, handing over to the second, Liu Lai.
"—Su! Ba! Ra! Shi!"
This was Liu Lai's roar into the microphone, ignoring his distorted style at the moment, he merely wanted to express his feelings.
The host took a deep breath and handed the last speaking turn to Miss Joy, looking over with hopeful eyes.
You'll be normal, right?
Luckily, Miss Joy didn't disappoint him.
"A beautifully memorable performance, from the dance and moves, I can feel the sweat from each practice, the efforts of the Pokémon and Trainer towards one goal, it's truly moving."
Miss Joy's praise was always so direct, and her focus consistently remained on practice.
"Now, let's ask the judges to score the contestant and Mawile!"
The host gestured invitingly.
Beep beep beep.
9.8, 9.8, 9.9.
Total of 29.5 points, now 100% guaranteed to advance to the second review.
Baimu raised his hand to Mawile.
"Chee duo~"
Mawile leapt up, its small hand lightly tapping the Trainer's palm, a sweet smile on its face.
Got it!
