Chapter 470 Xiao Wang's First Performance
Chapter 470 Xiao Wang's First Performance
"I hereby declare! The Sinnoh Grand Festival has officially begun!"
As soon as Bai An finished speaking, the entire venue erupted in cheers, with thunderous applause echoing from every corner.
The three stages lit up simultaneously, like stars suddenly appearing.
The dazzling lights intertwined, with blue, pink, and gold beams weaving beautiful patterns in the air, making the entire venue resemble a giant dream island.
One by one, the participating trainers took to the stage, and as the competition progressed, the tense atmosphere in the preparation area behind the scenes began to ease slightly.
Xiao Guang stood in the corner of Group B's preparation area, gently stroking the Poké Ball containing Mamoswine and Cyndaquil in his hand.
Despite having trained with them for a long time, and with Ash's approval of last night's practice, Cyndaquil was making its first appearance on the Contest stage, and its first battle was at a large-scale festival.
It's certainly adventurous to say, but the theme that Xiao Guang thought about for a long time could only be perfectly presented by the combination of Cyndaquil and Mamoswine.
If you can't show what you want to show on such a stage, then what's the point of participating in a large-scale celebration?
In fact, until two days ago, Xiao Guang was still hesitant about whether to let Cyndaquil go on stage, but after Princess Lusabbia gave such a wonderful performance on stage, Xiao Guang finally made up her mind.
"Oh—!" xN
Suddenly, a cheer erupted from the audience on the big screen, interrupting Xiao Guang's thoughts.
She looked up at the big screen and saw Xiao Wang already standing on the Group A stage.
What was Xiao Wang's performance like?
Xiao Guang silently watched the large screen showing the A group's stage performance, waiting for Xiao Wang's performance.
On the stage, Xiao Wang took a deep breath and gently stroked the Poké Ball at her waist with her slender fingers, her eyes sparkling with confidence.
Then she straightened her back and tossed the two Poké Balls high into the air, her clear voice echoing throughout the venue: "Glamour Cat and Mismagius, make your appearance!"
Accompanied by dazzling golden light and fluttering pink petals, the two Pokémon gracefully landed in the center of the stage.
The glamorous cat's fur shimmered like velvet under the spotlight, each hair appearing meticulously groomed.
Meanwhile, the Dream Demon floated lightly in mid-air, the gems on its chest gleaming under the lights, radiating a mysterious and alluring glow.
Xiao Wang's lips curled slightly upward, and he gently waved his right hand: "Dream Demon, Strange Light!"
The dream demon swiftly flew to the center of the stage, then slowly closed its eyes. After gathering its energy, it suddenly opened them, its eyes emitting a dazzling rainbow-like light that poured down like water, instantly illuminating the entire stage.
The light intertwined with the dazzling neon lights in the air, like stars falling to earth.
The audience couldn't help but gasp in amazement, deeply captivated by this dreamlike spectacle.
"Charming Cat, Shadow Claw!"
Xiao Wang tapped lightly with his fingertips, producing a clear and bright sound.
The next moment, on the stage created by the dream monster.
The charming cat gracefully arched its body, then leaped up suddenly, its paws enveloped in a rich, purplish-black energy, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
Amazingly, when the Shadow Claw passed through the Dream Demon's strange light, the originally monotonous black and purple light refracted into a rainbow of colors, like a sharp and gorgeous rainbow blade, leaving a dazzling trail in the air.
This wasn't the end; Xiaowang and his two Pokémon began to gradually increase their command and action speed.
"Dream Demon, use your shadow clones to stroll around the stage!"
"Glamour Cat, run around the stage and use your secret power!"
The dream demon's body began to tremble slightly, and then split into more than a dozen identical clones as if a mirror were shattering.
Each clone emitted a strange light of the same intensity. These clones floated slowly around the edge of the stage, instantly transforming the entire stage into a dreamlike space of interwoven light and shadow, making the audience feel as if they were in a star-studded galaxy.
The limbs of the charming cat lightly traverse the stage, rapidly rotating around each of the Misdreavus's clones.
Its body began to emit a soft pink glow as the colors of the surrounding area changed.
Then, waves of pink energy spread outward from its body like ripples on water. These energy waves passed through each of the dream demon clones, stirring up ripples of light, adding a fairytale touch to the already dreamlike stage.
Xiao Wang took a deep breath, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and then suddenly opened them to the sides, his tone full of passion, as if he were announcing the end of the performance.
"Finally, a perfect fusion of 100,000 volts and electric shock wave!"
The charming cat's fur stood on end, its eyes sharp as lightning, and then a powerful 100,000 volts poured out, golden electricity roaring out like thunder.
At the same time, the Dream Demon's body began to emit a strange light, and after a brief charging up, the Dream Demon emitted a deep blue electric shock wave.
Two currents of different properties met, intertwined, and merged in the air, eventually forming a giant flower of electricity. The intense light illuminated the entire venue, eliciting thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.
Xiao Wang smiled and bowed to the audience and judges with his two Pokémon to express his gratitude.
After the two judges finished their comments, the score given by the judges was displayed on the big screen—18.5 points!
This high score left everyone speechless.
As expected of Xiao Wang, he's really amazing.
Xiao Guang couldn't help but praise Xiao Wang's first performance in his heart.
However, Xiaowang's performance this time seemed a bit too forceful. Of course, it's not that Xiaowang's Pokémon was too forceful, but rather that Xiaowang himself seemed to be putting in too much effort.
It doesn't usually do so many movements when participating in Pokémon Contests, but it unconsciously starts moving in sync with the Pokémon on the field during large-scale festivals.
But then again.
Xiaowang's chosen theme is very similar to that of Lusabbia.
However, because each Pokémon has different powers and habits, the effects they produce are also completely different.
If we say that the theme of Lusabella's fairy tales is children's fairy tales.
So Xiaowang's fairy tale, full of power and various dark colors, is a dark fairy tale with some metaphors.
No wonder Xiaowang said yesterday that Xiaoguang also contributed to the final decision she made about the performance content.
"Heh, not bad~ It seems you've discussed quite a bit about the Grand Contest in private."
As Wulala walked past Xiaoguang, she casually uttered a few words that were hard to decipher—whether it was envy or sarcasm was unclear.
Before Xiao Guang could speak, Ulala spoke first:
"Watch my performance closely and remember this moment well! My performance will definitely usher in a new era for the first round of judging in the Grand Contest!"
Ulala straightened her clothes, gave Xiaoguang a provocative smile, and then strode confidently toward the stage.

P.S.: I wrote a little more detail in the first round of review for the grand celebration, but I realized I should have summarized it. Writing about the grand celebration is mentally exhausting—it makes me dizzy and lightheaded.
