Chapter 518: The Critical Path

Preparation room.

All the contestants gathered and nervously looked at the TV screen.

The list of those who will advance to the next round of the Gorgeous Battle will be announced above, and regardless of the score of the Gorgeous Show, as long as you can advance to the next round, it means that you have a chance to get a ribbon.

Normally, the number of participants will be adjusted according to the number of participants and scores, ranging from 16 to 32.

In a serious atmosphere.

The expressions of Kashiwagi and the other handful of people were quite pleasant.

Their average score is above 38.5, and it is unlikely that any promotion plan will be brushed off, and they belong to the wave of steady promotion.

"The scoring system is good......"

Xiaoguang sighed with emotion.

She still remembers that the Sinnoh Gorgeous Contest she participated in the year of her debut was not scored at all, which caused her to tremble after the first review every time.

I'm afraid that I will lose the election.

And although the scoring system is also very worrying, at least after everyone finishes the performance, they can basically be sure that there is no hope for themselves.

The only regret is the 39 points.

Swish!

The many cards wandering around the screen are divided into sixteen, and the avatars of all the people appear in turn as the cards flip up, and no one is absent.

"Everyone's on the cut!"

Xiao Sheng raised his arms and cheered, which immediately attracted the jealous or envious eyes of the other contestants around him.

Of course.

There are also a small number of people who look at Kashiwagi and Rukia with admiration, and they see the latter two as the leaders of the younger generation of Hoenn Gorgeous Contest.

Xiao Yao was originally the same, otherwise there would be no name for "Hoenn Dancing Girl". It's a pity that in the past two years, it has been mixed in other regions, and no one has carried out secondary packaging and publicity, and its reputation has naturally weakened a lot.

Xiao Gang looked at the more or less happy crowd and said with a smile: "Now everyone's competition is going to become more intense!" ”

"I'm not going to lose to you!"

Xiaoguang couldn't wait to let go of the cruel words, and Bogaman at his feet flapped his little wings in approval.

"Bo Nao!"

This time, you must defeat its goddess with dignity and show your strength to the big-mouthed baby!

"Oooh! Xiaoguang's fighting spirit seems to be very strong! ”

Xiao Yao smiled and said, "But this time it's not as lucky as last time~"

She still remembers the defeat in the previous Mikoli Cup final and the missing out on the trophy and ribbon.

"Hmph."

Xiao Instant chuckled lightly and didn't express an opinion, he had always been very confident in gorgeous battles.

Harry's eyes rolled as if he was thinking of something.

Ulala looked at Kashiwagi, everyone had an opponent everyone expected to beat, and she was no exception.

"I'm finally able to compete with you!"

Rukia was excited, she had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and since the day she had guided the other party to the first Gorgeous Contest, she had fantasized about competing with her at a certain conference.

"Meaning, I hope you can still laugh by then."

Kashiwagi made a joke.

Evening.

With the help of Ryukia's agency, everyone was able to leave the venue safely and have dinner together.

And heard that Xiao Yao and Xiao Guang have a tradition of holding a "girlfriend night talk", Rukia was stunned to stay up with them until almost ten o'clock before returning to the gym, if it weren't for the habit of recognizing the bed, it is estimated that they would not come back.

No way.

The allure of friends of the same age and gender.

Even if Rukia has a mature personality, she will crave a few female friends of similar age, but she usually has no chance to contact her.

Even if they are contacted, the other party will have scruples because of their identity and will not be able to open their hearts to dating.

The dilemma she faces every day makes her cherish the opportunity to get along with Xiaoguang and Xiaoyao.

But to Kashiwagi's surprise.

Rucia, who came back, showed that Ulala was also involved in this "girlfriend's night talk", and he thought that with this girl's character, he would definitely not join in the fun.

It seems that today's two meals have effectively eased her relationship with Xiaoguang.

β€”β€”

Following.

The sun rises as usual.

The impatient audience in the venue took their seats, and the voice of the host Vivian came from the radio.

"Audience friends! Welcome back to the Magnificent Tournament Mikoli Cup! The second review will begin today - Gorgeous Battles! Now, I would like to invite Master Mikkeli to address the Coordination Trainers! ”

Center stage.

Mikli, who was still in a white hat and white cloak, smiled brightly and said loudly: "Beautiful coordination trainers, go forward to the world with great emotion and excitement!" ”

Rumble!

Cheers and applause erupted.

After a brief introduction to the rules of the glamorous battle, Vivien raised her right hand, and the sixteen avatars on the big screen swirled like shuffling cards.

For!

There was a slight panicked sound, and a tree-like diagram of pairs appeared in front of everyone.

The audience was in an uproar as people debated the random combination of computers and who was more likely to make it all the way to the final round.

Prepare indoors.

The sixteen contestants in the audience each looked at their opponents.

"Hey, I didn't expect that."

Kashiwagi bowed slightly as Harry returned to his Dream Song cactus outfit, and the latter looked grim but quickly returned to his usual smile, raising his hand and shaking it in greeting.

Unexpectedly, he was given a "heavyweight" opponent in the first round.

The others are relatively normal, there is no civil war with acquaintances, and they are all paired with strangers.

The first battle of the first round.

The players were Xiao Yao and a 38.7-point female coordination trainer.

Xiao Gang wanted to rush over to offer him courtesy, but he was caught by Xiao Sheng, who had predicted in advance, so he had to take out a small notebook and present the other party's information with a serious face - personality, preferences and good cooking.

"When are you still doing this!"

Xiao Sheng gritted his teeth in anger, eager to slam a hellish knife on his head.

And his companion is so unreliable, he can only support himself, and he took something related to the gorgeous battle through the Internet search, "Sister, the opponent is very strong, don't be careless." ”

"Don't worry! Your sister and I seem to be in super good shape today! ”

Xiao Yao smiled and said OK.

In the blink of an eye.

She and her opponent arrived at the venue and stood on either side of the stage.

Following the tradition of the Mikoli Cup, the venue is still a huge boxy pool, with at most a semicircle protruding from each side for the players to stand.

"Here we go!"

Xiao Sheng's expression was nervous, and he may not be like this when he plays on the court.

Xiao Gang said with confidence: "Don't worry, as long as Xiao Yao's strength is fully played, there will be no suspense in this game." ”

As he said.

On stage, Haruka's Blastoise easily mastered the rhythm of the battle, and played with his opponent's Gotha duck in a high-speed spin, causing the opponent's score to be deducted in a short period of time.

"Sure enough, it's still a skill-based ......"

Kashiwagi Mo rubbed his chin, it was not difficult to see from the battle with the Flame Chicken a few days ago that Xiao Yao's strength in the battle was actually not as good as Xiao Guang.

But Haruka's advantage is that she pays more attention to the skills of gorgeous combat, that is, she spends a lot of effort on using gorgeous moves to suppress her opponent, so she is still exceptionally strong.

Just like this top-like Blastoise, its offensive power is terrifyingly low, and a rocket head hammer hitting the Gotha Duck in the chest can make it snort.

After the scream, it should be hit or hit, and it didn't hurt at all, which made people happy at first glance.

What about points?

The points are gone, and they are deducted.

In the end, the gorgeous battle is still lost.

Kashiwagi looked at it with a smile on his face, remembering that in the animation, Xiao Yao's Yusan family is very cute, whether it is a wonderful frog seed with a heart on the body surface, or a Jenny turtle who loves to cry.

It's just that unlike Xiao Zhi, Xiao Yao's Royal Three families generally have a chance to evolve to the final form, whether it is a Miao Frog Seed or a Blastoise.

On the other hand, Xiang Tail Meow and Little Kirbymon haven't evolved for some reason, and the former wants to use the Moon Stone, so why is the latter stuck when he evolves by intimacy?

The evolution of the "opportunity" is really an unsolved mystery.

on stage.

The results of the first round are in.

Xiao Yao and Blastoise successfully advanced to the next round by deducting all the opponents' points.

"Sister won!" Xiao Sheng cheered.

"Xiao Yao really has a set!"

Hikari is looking forward to a gorgeous battle with Haruka, and the tree map indicates that if they can both make it to the finals, they will meet in the finals.

It's just fate.

Of course, it could also be cypress.

Memories of Kanaz's defeat at the tournament are still fresh in her mind, and both she and Bogaman are desperate for a chance to win back.

"Come on, Brother Kashiwagi!"

Katsu's voice interrupted her thoughts, and without looking back, Kashiwagi waved his hand towards the runner's tunnel, who happened to be in the second match with Harry.

So Xiaoguang also shouted and cheered for him.

Fork in the road.

Kashiwagi stopped and turned his head to look at Harry who was gone, although he should have "reformed his ways", he might not give him the whole job.

To be on the safe side, let's take it down as quickly as possible.

He thought to himself, slowly walking through the passage that emitted a dazzling white light, and as his eyes narrowed slightly to adjust to the light, the sound of a tsunami of mountains rushed into his mind.

"Kashiwagi! Cedar! ”

"Come on! It's up to you! ”

"Don't lose to your opponent! Win five in a row! ”

All kinds of words converged into a line and drilled into Kashiwagi's ears, and he squinted and looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, and for a moment he was a little stunned.

That's right, as long as you win the Mikoli Cup, you will win five times in a row, and you will be eligible to participate in the gorgeous large-scale celebration.

A key step towards the top...... Is it?

He rubbed his sour neck, and Harry in the distance came into view, a PokΓ© Ball rolling into his palm.

The host's voice rang out.

"The second round of the second judging! Begin! ”

For!

Crisp chime.

The countdown on the big screen in the venue began to change.

Both sides quickly throw PokΓ© Balls forward!

Bang bang!

The water rippled and flowed, surging up like a living creature to outline the outer outline of the heterochromatic Menas, and then the blue light receded, revealing its stunning beauty.

Rainbow-like gorgeous long tails, soft light blue long fins, and eyes as crystal as pomegranate seeds.

"Miro~"

Heterochromat Menas whispered softly, screaming of excitement from the audience, oblivious to Harry's Nightsong cactus unleashed on the other side.

The latter stood on a protruding round plate prepared for trainers, and he had a terrifying aura all over his body.

However, the appearance of Heterochromatic Menas stole almost everyone's attention, and no one noticed this guy at all, so naturally it didn't affect anyone.

Wrong.

It's still impactful-

Heterochromic Menas.

When this stupid man saw that it was so fierce, he thought that the other party was intimidating, but instead of being frightened, he became extremely excited, and glared back majestically, and almost shouted "You dare to intimidate me".

It's a pity that his ability value has not been reduced, so how can the competitive trait be triggered.

As for the rise in state caused by high emotional excitement...... This has nothing to do with changes in abilities, but is a bonus in other areas.

Thereupon.

Heterochromatic Menas, who hadn't felt the improvement of his state for a long time, was a little confused.

And on the big screen.

The score under Harry's profile picture was deducted.

"How can there be such a thing!"

He gritted his teeth, the Dream Song Cactus was a PokΓ©mon he chose specifically to deal with Heterochromatic Menas, on the one hand, he wanted to overwhelm Heterochromatic Menas in terms of momentum, and on the other hand, he had an attribute advantage.

Who would have thought that the heterochromatic Menas would not be afraid, but excited!

Such a self-defeating scene would certainly not be missed by the vicious gaze of the four judges, who unanimously decided to deduct his points.

Harry's face turned green with rage!

What exactly are you excited about?

"No, you can't!"

He was extremely distressed about the points he had been deducted, and ordered: "Mengge-chan! Use a seed machine gun! ”

"Whoa!"

The Dream Song Cactus took a deep breath, and a large number of emerald green light bullets erupted from the large and small hollows on its face like scattered bullets, and the air continued to let out a scream of rubbing.

Its attacks are quite swift and seem to be quite powerful.

It's a pity that it's not enough.

"Surf!"

Rumble!

I saw a huge wave rise like a high wall, and the bright green light bullet hit it like a solid satin, and there was no way to penetrate it.

And the heterochromatic Menas behind the great wave reluctantly erected its tail fin and slapped the wave, when even its rumbling tumbling surged towards the Dream Song Cactus!

Now that you've decided to take down Harry quickly, you should turn over your hole cards appropriately.

Just right.

Let's use the Dream Song Cactus to verify what I learned from Adam in the past two days!

Harry, who couldn't see the cypress on the other side at all, was a little nervous and shouted:

"Yumeka-chan is slashed with Iai! Cut the waves open! ”

Facing the churning waves, the Dream Song Cactus immediately raised its arms, causing the dark green spikes on its surface to glow white and elongate, like sharp blades as it danced.

But before the thorns could make contact with the waves, Menas, the heterochromatic in the pool, suddenly took a deep breath.

"Blizzard!"

Call!

Countless white snow particles flew forward, and with the help of the wind, they caught up with the rolling tide in an instant, quickly freezing the top half of it into a huge block of ice!

"Whoa!"

The Dream Song Cactus was almost terrified as she saw the towering ice floe turn into a black shadow and fall down, and her arms danced desperately in an attempt to chop it into pieces.

Whew!

The white light kept flickering, shaking people's eyes sour.

Unfortunately, despite all its efforts, it was unable to completely shred the ice floe, and it shattered into a piece of ice the size of a football and smashed it.

Peng Peng Peng Peng –

The ice shattered and completely submerged it.

"Yumego-chan!" Harry clutched his cheeks and screamed, not caring that he was about to lose half of his points, and shouted that he wanted to break free from the ice.

Meanwhile.

Heterochromatic Menas swam forward quickly under the guidance of Kashiwagi, "Frozen beam!" ”

"Miro~"

It opened its mouth, and ice-blue lightning surged, and instead shot out, forcibly reinforcing the hardness of the surrounding snow and ice for the Dream Song cactus as it tried to get up.

The Dream Song Cactus, which had no way to dodge, suddenly turned into a huge piece of ice.

"Final blow, water cannon!"

Kashiwagi waved.

The azure water flowed from all directions, spewing out as the light blue hair-like fins of the heterochromatic Menas swayed violently, and a thick column of water crashed into the Mengsong cactus in the ice!

Peng!

The latter flew backwards with the ice cube and smashed into the wall of the auditorium.

When the ice shattered, it revealed a pair of black-circled eyes.

"Miao!

”

Heterochromatic Menas raised his chin proudly, and his heroic appearance drew cheers and applause from many of the audience who loved it.

Drops –

The whistle blew, and nearly half of the remaining points under Harry's avatar were completely deducted.

And there are more than two minutes left in the countdown.

The game is over.

Kashiwagi calmly bowed in thanks.

A large number of people in the preparation room watched this scene with great emotion.

Strong!

It's too strong!
