Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 403 Declaration of War? Sweet Musashi Rina's Wrath

Hikari's performance arguably overshadowed all the other Coordinators who appeared before her.

Positioned at a crucial juncture, Xiao Guang's performance was more than sufficient. The judges clearly understood the importance of Xiao Guang's role, and after such a brilliant performance, they were generous with their scores, awarding him the highest marks of the day.

"It's only five points away from a perfect score."

"It's basically confirmed that they've advanced."

Ash and Brock exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

Xiao Gang, in particular, had a little bit of worry that he had been holding onto before, but it all disappeared completely as Xiao Guang finished his performance.

Afterwards, Kojiro and Meowth, who had been cheering for Musashi, could only slowly put down their cheering sticks after seeing Hikaru's score surpass Musashi's by ten points.

"It seems a bit difficult to advance..."

"I can only hope that others don't perform well, meow~"

Before Hikaru, Sweet Musashi Rina was ranked third in the first half of the competition. However, after Hikaru delivered such a perfect performance, Sweet Musashi Rina's ranking naturally dropped. Moreover, Hikaru's score was so high that the judges would probably use Hikaru's performance as a reference for their scores in the future, and give her a score difference of no more than ten points.

It's safe to say that Sweet Musashi Lina is in grave danger.

at the same time.

Behind the stage.

"Ugh! That wretched little girl! She's behaving so well at a time like this! How awful!"

"..."

Musashi tried his best to keep his voice as low as possible.

When he is an actor, or rather a performer, Musashi's personality is always a bit more docile than usual.

But when she realized, like Kojiro, that her situation was in grave danger, she couldn't help but curse Hikaru for her good behavior.

In such a grand occasion, Musashi, with the soul of an actor, absolutely could not bear to be eliminated in the first round.

But it seems that Lady Luck was on her side this time, or perhaps it was just because Musashi's performance in the Grand Contest with Hikari was too disastrous.

After all the contestants finished their performances, the list of those who passed the preliminary rounds of this grand competition was displayed prominently on the big screen.

Sweet Musashi Rina is among them.

They were just one point away from being eliminated.

"Yeah! This must be a blessing from heaven! I, Sweet Musashi Lina, am the winner this time! Hahaha!"

Seemingly already imagining the media frenzy surrounding her victory, even in the lounge, Sweet Musashi Rina couldn't help but shout "Hooray!" drawing the attention of the other contestants.

Meanwhile, with the end of the first round of review, the group assignments for the second round of battles appeared on the screen.

"Me... to fight Mr. Shangzhi?"

Xiao Guang was somewhat surprised, not expecting to face Shang Zhi in the first round.

This seems to be the first time in history that Hikaru has encountered a strong opponent in the first round of matches after being grouped.

Perhaps influenced by Ash, in Dawn's mind, Shōshō, who also participated in the Gym Challenge, was a formidable opponent whose strength was in no way inferior to Nozomi's.

"This seems to be the first time we've officially faced off on the Grand Contest stage. I'm really looking forward to a great battle."

"Ah... um... nice to meet you."

When Shangzhi came up to greet him, Xiaoguang was stunned for a moment before replying in this way.

no problem.

Although Hikari was still a little nervous after coming off the stage, the thought of Ash's encouragement before the competition seemed to calm her restless heart immediately.

"..."

Standing in the corner, Kengo watched Hikaru talking to Naoshi, pursed his lips, closed his eyes as if deep in thought, but soon opened his eyes and walked toward Hikaru.

That brat.

After confirming that her first opponent would be Kengo, Sweet Musashi Rina felt a little relieved.

In her opinion, the only people here who could rival her were Xiaoguang and Xiaowang.

other people?

Ha ha.

As soon as he closes his eyes, Musashi can recall the arduous training he has undergone these past few days.

After realizing that they couldn't defeat Ash and steal Pikachu by relying solely on machines and technology, they began to train hard on their command abilities and the strength of their Pokémon!

She is now incomparable to her former self!

Once she gets to the second round of review, she is confident that she can win based on her own abilities!

Ok?

Just as Sweet Musashi Rina was thinking this, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Kengo walking towards her out of the corner of her eye.

Thinking that the other party had come to declare war on her, Sweet Musashi Rina had already crossed her arms and a disdainful smile, waiting to humiliate Kengo, who dared to provoke her so arrogantly.

But I never expected—

"Hey!"

"?"

Kengo suddenly interrupted Hikaru and Hisashi's conversation, completely ignoring Sweet Musashi Rina, who was standing with her arms crossed.

Because there was no title, Hikaru didn't even realize for a moment that Kengo was talking to him, since Kengo had always called him by that annoying nickname before.

"me?"

Xiao Guang tilted his head and pointed to himself with a puzzled look.

".....right."

After a moment of silence, Kengo nodded.

Since his crushing defeat in the last battle against Ash, and after realizing Dawn's feelings for him, Kenjiro was no longer willing to call her by the nickname he used to tease her with. He was afraid that continuing to call her that would only bring him more dislike.

but.

When he tried to greet Xiaoguang again, he was surprised to find that he could hardly remember Xiaoguang's name anymore.

There's always a strange, awkward feeling about it.

In the end, all he could say was "Hey".

Feeling the questioning look in Hikaru's eyes, Kengo took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "I won't lose, and you shouldn't lose either. I will defeat you on the final stage!"

After uttering those words that sounded like something Ash would say to Shinji, Kengo quickly turned around and fled as if running away, leaving behind Hikari and Takashi looking puzzled.

And there's also Sweet Musashi Rina, who's been frozen in the back the whole time.

She was completely ignored by Kengo from beginning to end.

A faint black aura rose around Sweet Musashi Rina.

"Damn brat, how dare you ignore me!"

Sweet Musashi Rina gritted her teeth, a grotesque smile creeping across her face.

Just you wait!

.......

Surprised? Unexpected? QAQ~
