At the annual glamour convention in Sala City, a diamond with eight stars and eight arrows was seen on the stage, reflecting in the air, shining brightly and dazzlingly... but it was fleeting.

After the "diamond" disappeared, the slightly tired figure of Yingyingying was revealed. After the broken diamonds on her body flashed a few times as a farewell gift, she floated off the stage.

The "diamond" reflected by Yingyingying was very beautiful, but compared with the previous time in Crystal City, it was not much improved, and the duration was shorter, giving people a fleeting feeling...

Many people who were dissatisfied with Guan Liyuan... no, in the identity of a coordinator, it should be called the stage name "Kaguya-hime", made many people a little disappointed with Kaguya's performance this time.

In fact, for a coordinator who just debuted this year, Kaguya-hime's performance was already very shocking, and it was natural that she would lose to Mikoli, but with Guan Liyuan's identity, he was a little less "terrible", which made everyone a little uncomfortable.

Moreover... everyone also noticed that Yingyingying's condition was not good. In fact, her performance was slightly worse than before in Crystal City.

"Kaguya-sama" had announced that she would participate in the annual competition in Sala City after the competition in Crystal City, so many people were looking forward to it.

However, there is one less thing to look forward to Kaguya-sama now. Now everyone is only looking forward to the second season of "Jewel Princess"!

"Unfortunately, it seems that 'Kaguya-sama' has not made any outstanding progress in the gorgeous competition, and... 'Jewel Princess' condition does not seem to be very good either." A female anchor was in the studio at the scene, explaining the competition with another man dressed in the style of Mikoli.

"That's right, in this case, there is probably no suspense in this competition. The opponent that Lord Mikoli is looking forward to can only be found in the Carlos Gorgeous Competition... I just don't know if Lord Mikoli will participate in the Carlos Gorgeous Competition this year." The male commentator seemed to be looking forward to Mikoli. From his dress and the degree of his love for Mikoli, it can be seen that he is a fan of Mikoli.

"If Kaguya will participate in the Carlos Gorgeous Competition, will Michaeli give him another chance?" The female anchor deliberately brought up the topic. "

This question... Hehe, at present, Kaguya is at least one quarterly competition away from the Carlos Gorgeous Competition. From the current point of view, Kaguya's chance of entering the quarterfinals of this annual competition is not great."

The male commentator's words were not considered to be contempt for "Kaguya", after all, the threshold for the Carlos Competition is very high, and only five-star coordinators can register.

And coordinators need to win the quarterly gorgeous competition of the Coordinator Association branch, or enter the quarterfinals of the annual gorgeous competition to be awarded the qualification of five-star coordinators.

In terms of proportion, the proportion of coordinators who have won the five-star honor is less than that of trainers with eight badges...

However, the male commentator's slightly frivolous tone obviously made Kaguya's fans dissatisfied. Many fans who waved Kaguya's head and name booed the male commentator's words.

"It seems that some viewers may not understand what I am saying, but from a professional perspective, whether Kaguya can get a five-star rating before the Carlos Gorgeous Competition depends on luck, and outsiders may not understand it very well." The male commentator began to angrily criticize Kaguya's fans for his idol.

It is not uncommon for commentators and audiences to argue with each other during the competition for their respective idols, but... it is rare for both admirers and idols to be male!

Of course, with Kaguya's image, there are still female fans, and there are even many female fans who watch the competition in the image of Kaguya, but the female fans are obviously unwilling to mix with the support group composed of foot-picking men...

If Mikoli did not come to Sala City suddenly, but revealed the news earlier, there must be a lot of his female fans present now, enough to calm the scene, but because only Kaguya had announced that she would participate in this competition before, it is obvious that she has more fans.

In some cases, having many fans present will also be invisible as a plus point in the minds of the judges.

First, if there are enough fans during the performance, it can boost the atmosphere on the spot. Second, the number of fans will also put psychological pressure on the judges...

However, the three judges this time are difficult to be influenced by the outside world!

Because they knew that Kaguya would participate in this annual competition, Kaluna actually rushed over and took up a judge seat again. In addition, Maxiu, who was not invited by the Crystal City Coordination Branch last time, also accepted the invitation this time.

I heard that Maxiu won the Best Designer Award at the main fashion show of Snorlax Memorial Day in Johto. It seems that to commemorate this achievement, Maxiu really sat on the judges' seat wearing Snorlax's clothes today!

However, compared with the semi-finished products that Guan Liyuan had seen before, the degree of completion is much higher, and it does not look so bloated.

After that, the last judge is the owner of the White Sandalwood Gym in Carlos, "Violet"...

Violet is the only one among the three judges who does not have the qualifications of a coordinator, but no one doubts her professionalism. Violet is a professional Pokémon photographer. Kaluna, Mikoli, Maxiu... these well-known coordinators have also asked her to take photos.

"Kalunao, it seems that the performance of 'Kaguya' this time is not satisfactory." Violet and Kalunao seem to be very familiar with each other.

"To be precise, our expectations are too high... Whether it is a trainer, a nurturer, or a coordinator, they all need to accumulate experience. I still believe that he will be an excellent coordinator in the future." Kalunao said.

However, although Kalunao is very optimistic about Guan Liyuan, she will not show mercy when scoring...

After the judges' scoring session, the scores of "Kaguya" in the appearance and skill display were directly ranked outside the top 20. At present, it seems that it is almost impossible to reverse the situation by the talent show session.

But in the backstage, Guan Liyuan is more concerned about Yingyingying's situation at this time.

"How is it? Can you still hold on?" Guan Liyuan asked.

[Yingyingying, I feel... It seems to be much better than before, but is my performance on the court very bad? ] Yingyingying looks a little depressed.

"It doesn't matter. Even if this is just a practice match, we are here to perform the second season of 'Jewel Princess'." Guan Liyuan found that Yingyingying didn't seem to be lying and indeed didn't seem as powerless as before, so he couldn't help but encourage her.

[I, I will definitely show the most beautiful side of the 'Jewel Princess'! ] Yingyingying said with high morale.

"And you two... don't hold us back!" Guan Liyuan didn't have such good patience for the Knight Snail and the Agile Bug, especially after he found out that these two guys were still fighting with each other before going on stage.

At the end of the last season, the "Jewel Princess" gave birth to a small snail and a lid bug with everyone's blessings.

One of the most important scenes in today's second season is that the "grown-up" Knight Snail and Agile Bug teamed up to defeat their mother, the "Jewel Queen"...

At the beginning of the rehearsal, the Knight Snail and the Agile Bug often fought each other during the performance!

The cause was either because the Knight Snail "accidentally" hit the Agile Bug, or the Agile Bug "slipped" and hit the Knight Snail...

In the end, it was because after Yingyingying's level skyrocketed, she was able to suppress the two of them in terms of strength, and Guan Liyuan strictly ordered them to cooperate with Yingyingying. It didn't matter how they fought offstage. If the personal grudge between the two affected the performance, they would stop the "one-stop service"!

The Knight Snail and the Agile Bug cooperated...

According to the arrangement of the competition, "Kaguya" and Mikoli were the main and finale performances respectively.

Because she was the last one, Guan Liyuan also tried to let Yingyingying rest more. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but it seemed that Yingyingying's condition was indeed getting better, and she looked gradually energetic...

The previous performances were one after another, and although the time was not short, it made the audience feel that it passed very quickly.

It was Mikoli's turn to perform. Before she went on stage, Mikoli came to see Guan Liyuan...

"Huh? Yingying looks better? As expected... Performance is the best therapy for performers. She must be a natural performing Pokémon! I'm rooting for you!" Mikoli said, waved her hand and walked towards the stage.

In the contestant lounge backstage, you can also see the performance on the stage in front.

The stage was first lit with a layer of aqua blue light. Not only was the color of the light blue, it also seemed to simulate the rippling feeling of water, as if invisible water was waving on the stage...

Of course, what everyone wants to see is not whether the lighting effect is wavy or not. The better the external conditions, the more the Pokémon itself needs to perform well, otherwise the "background" will steal the limelight and the score will be lowered. But Mikoli will definitely not make such a low-level mistake!

Then came the accompaniment of a melodious drumbeat. This time it was not an external sound effect, but twelve Rakuten Kappas, each with a round valley on their waist, walked up. The drumbeat was their masterpiece...

Rakuten Kappas are a Pokémon that looks like a "pineapple spirit with a duck face", as if wearing a green wide-brimmed hat...

This is a Pokémon with a very cheerful and lively personality, and a strong sense of music. Some wild Rakuten Kappas will also be attracted by the music and dance along.

However, Rakuten Kappas' sense of music is mostly only reflected in some music with a strong sense of rhythm that makes people want to dance, but now they are playing melodious drum beats, obviously specially trained.

Then, Milotic floated down from the sky above the stage... Milotic

looked like a sea snake, with a long head and a skin-colored bump on top, long red eyebrows, and a colorful tail with four fan-shaped colored scales at the end. It was a pure water Pokémon, but like Golduck, it had powers close to "psychic".

Just like in the anime, Milotic could not only swim in the water, but also use its psychic powers to float in the air.

At this time, the Mines was floating under the water-like lighting effect on the stage, as if swimming in the water, and dancing in the "water" with the melodious drum sound...

"No wonder it's called the Fish Dragon Dance!"

"Is this... a new program?"

"I didn't expect that Mikoli would take this competition so seriously and bring out a new program."

"It's probably to take this opportunity to test the waters..."

"The Mines... is really beautiful."

"Mikoli is so serious, it seems that the scores of other contestants will be 'pitiful'!"

Several people on the judges' seats, as well as the female anchor and commentator in the studio, were attracted by Mikoli's new program "Fish Dragon Dance".

The fact that Mikoli brought out a new program clearly shows that he attaches great importance to this competition... Of course, it's not the most important, otherwise he would have chosen some familiar signature programs!

However, a normal stage would not allow Mikoli to use it as the debut stage for his new program.

Accompanied by the melodious drum sound, the dancing posture of the Mines attracted everyone in the audience, and even Guan Liyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's beautiful.

But this made Guan Liyuan a little sad...

Although the scores of other people's programs would be "suppressed" because the scores were scored after everyone's performance, the worst was undoubtedly Guan Liyuan, who was suppressed by Mikoli's "finale"!

Guan Liyuan seemed to have felt that everyone's expectations for "Jewel Princess" were weakened by the beauty of the fish-dragon dance.

Until Mienshao left the stage, both the judges and the audience were still immersed in it and wanted more. If there was a choice, now would not be the best time for Guan Liyuan to appear.

However, there was no choice. The second season of "Jewel Princess" had to start on time!

At this time, there were probably no more than ten viewers who were still looking forward to "Jewel Princess", and... Arceus who was hiding outside had to be counted!

After watching the first season of "Jewel Princess", Arceus always felt that Guan Liyuan was using the sacred tree to mock him, so he had been waiting for Guan Liyuan for a long time this time, giving Guan Liyuan a chance to see if he would reorganize his language...

But he didn't!

The plot continues from the last part. The "Jewel Princess" gave birth to the Gableworm and the Little Mouth Snail. At the same time, their temperament is getting closer and closer to the "Jewel Queen". Another "evil fruit" has grown on the sacred tree to retaliate against the Jewel Princess for taking the fruit.

Disasters began to come one after another, manifested in the form of Banjira, the three-headed dragon... These Pokémon that look very fierce appeared, attracted by the evil fruit, and bullied the weak native Pokémon.

The Jewel Queen protected the natives from the evil beasts attracted by these evil fruits...

The Jewel Queen defeated the "evil beasts" one by one, and Guan Liyuan was sweating in the backstage before going on stage. The situation of crying had improved, but at this time, I don't know why it seemed to start to deteriorate again.

Fortunately, at this time, the Jewel Queen's hard work was supposed to be reflected, and she defeated the "evil beasts" one by one with all her strength, so there were not too many disobediences.

The audience who didn't know the situation thought that this was part of Yingyingying's acting...

"That little Diamond... is it called Yingyingying? Is it not in good condition?" Karuna looked at Yingyingying and muttered with some worry.

"It should be just acting, right? From the expression of the work now, it should be performed like this." Ma Xiu was open-minded.

"Acting? If it is acting, then its acting skills can be ranked in the top five among the Pokémon I have seen... It really looks like it is in bad condition." As a professional Pokémon photographer, Violet is experienced in identifying acting.

"Yes, I had this feeling when I debuted before. There seemed to be mistakes when I demonstrated my skills." Karuno couldn't help but get more worried.

However, the show continued, and the plot continued to move forward. The Gaigai Bug and the Small Mouth Snail had evolved into the Knight Snail and the Agile Bug.

Of course, the so-called "evolution" was simulated by light effects. In fact, when the flash was flashing, the "actors" on stage were replaced.

"This is Guan... No, it's Kaguya's Knight Snail and Agile Bug, right? He can actually make these two stay together in harmony. He is worthy of being the world's number one breeder! But it would be great if he could really evolve on the field!" The female anchor couldn't help but say.

The second half of the sentence was completely joking, just because she suddenly realized that she mentioned "the world's number one breeder" and was worried that some breeders in the Kalos region would be dissatisfied with this statement, so she changed the subject.

A fanboy of Mikoli on the side explained, and then continued the conversation: "How can it be such a coincidence? How could they evolve at the right time for the performance... I can only hope that their performance will be more perfect, so as not to disappoint the new program specially prepared by Mikoli!"

As a fanboy of Mikoli, this guy has always been disdainful of "Kaguya-sama", as if he is dissatisfied with him as Mikoli's opponent, but he performs so poorly...

And the performance on the field is certainly not as simple as the story of Ultraman fighting monsters.

During the time when the Knight Snail and the Agile Bug grew up, the Jewel Queen also defeated the "ferocious beasts" controlled by the Fruit of Evil, which made her more and more oppressive. Under everyone's admiration, her mentality became more and more alienated from other "people".

At the same time, because the ferocious beasts became stronger and stronger, she gradually became anxious. In order to show this point, the ferocious beasts were initially only Kira and a single-headed dragon, and gradually developed to Banjila and a three-headed evil dragon. After each battle, the Jewel Queen also showed more and more fatigue.

Of course, the fatigue of the Jewel Queen at this time was half acting and half real!

However, through the real fatigue of the body, Yingyingying also appropriately showed the contradictory psychology of the Jewel Queen. On the one hand, because of everyone's admiration, she gradually began to think that she was superior and self-deified in her mentality. On the other hand, she was anxious about the strength of the enemy.

In the end, the Jewel Queen began to extract the power of the natives, hoping to make herself stronger and defeat the real "Evil Fruit"...

That's right, Guan Liyuan's script is just based on Kaguya-hime. In fact... of course there must be an adaptation!

For example, according to the later script, the Jewel Princess should actually be regarded as a combination of "Kaguya-hime + Yuyi", and the Knight Snail and Agile Bug are not completely the characters of Yuyi and Yucun brothers. Later, they also bear the characters of Asura and Indra, and will turn against each other in the third season.

At this time, the Soul-Snatching Eye, which plays the role of "Evil Fruit", has long been hidden in the Evil Fruit props. When the time is right, Guan Liyuan uses telepathy to notify it to come out! As soon as

the Soul-Snatching Eye appeared, it couldn't help but let out a "hehehe" evil-like weird laugh, and it also entered a super-evolved state.

On the huge ruby ​​shield of the Soul-Catching Eye, lines appeared... This is an ability that Gou Gou has practiced for a long time to master. The lines are probably telling the Jewel Queen: You dare to steal the divine fruit, and the revenge of the gods will continue. Even if you absorb the power of other natives, it will not be the end to defeat it in the end.

Normally according to the script, the Jewel Queen, who has absorbed the power of the natives, should have defeated the incarnation of the evil fruit and taken away the power of the evil fruit, that is, Gou Gou's ruby.

Moreover, peace did not come afterwards. The Jewel Queen was further affected by the evil fruit. In order to guard against possible crises in the future, she continued to absorb the power of other natives, deprive other Pokémon of the right to evolve, and even absorbed the power of Knight Snail and Agile Bug.

Then came the ending of the second season. Knight Snail and Agile Bug teamed up to defeat the Jewel Queen and sealed her back to her original Jewel Star.

And left a post-credits Easter egg that hinted at the incompatibility of the Knight Snail and the Agile Bug's ideas...

However, just when Yingyingying was supposed to defeat Gougou and take away its ruby, implying that the Gem Queen had seized the power of the Fruit of Evil, an "accident" occurred!

Originally, Yingyingying had been lacking energy at this time, and Guan Liyuan was really worried that she would fall down before "defeating the Fruit of Evil". He had previously used telepathic communication to remind Gougou that if Yingyingying's situation was not right, it would be defeated quickly, and the fight would not be so intense.

However, the incident that Guan Liyuan was worried about, Yingyingying fainting on the spot, did not happen. But at the moment when Yingyingying defeated Gougou and took its ruby, a dazzling seven-color light bloomed on the field... Guan Liyuan was also confused

at the time. Did I say to add light effects here?

Then Guan Liyuan realized that something was wrong! It didn’t seem to be a light effect…

because Guan Liyuan had already felt that the change in Yingyingying’s contract had suddenly given him a large wave of energy. This was the power that would be given back when his contracted beast became stronger, but it was the first time that Guan Liyuan received such a large-scale feedback because his contracted beast became stronger!

When the seven-color light gradually dissipated from Yingyingying’s body, the whole audience was silent…

Yingyingying, whose rock and diamond parts were all a little dark, had completely changed at this time!

Although the rock body was still dark, the diamonds on it turned pink, and Diancie at this time became clearly human-shaped. The upper body still had a skirt made of cloud fluff, and the lower body was still a rock-like body with diamonds embedded in it, but the upper body had two hands and arms that looked short and weak.

Moreover, the head was completely exposed, with ruby-like eyes, a pink gem crown on the top of the head, and a pink gem necklace around the neck!

Although the way it appeared was inexplicable, it was an exceptionally gorgeous Pokémon!

Diamondhead... normally there was no evolution, and this scene could not be considered an evolution...

After the audience was silent for dozens of seconds, the female anchor asked in a daze: "Ahua, you just said that it was impossible to evolve on the field, right?"

"This is indeed not an evolution, Diamondhead has no evolution, this is... this is..." The male commentator was already confused at this time.

"Dianci!" Kaluna finally said this name that seemed to have magic.

Many people in Kalos know Diaci. After all, this is a mythical beast registered in the Kalos Atlas. Although it has not appeared for many years, Kalos people will know it!

Legend has it that Diaci is the evolution of Diamondhead... or a mutant individual, but there is not much basis for this statement, but it is recorded in many ancient ruins.

However... a Diamondhead "evolved" into Diaci in front of them, causing many viewers to crash their brains and dare not mention this word.

It wasn't until Kalno said it that everyone finally "breathes a sigh of relief", feeling like "it turns out it's really Diancie"!

As for surprise... you have to wait until your brain restarts to show it!

As for Knight Snail and Agile Bug, they were all very surprised. According to the script, when the Jewel Queen was about to absorb their power, the two brothers took advantage of the opportunity when the Jewel Queen was injured after the battle with the Fruit of Evil to defeat the Jewel Queen.

But now, looking at Yingyingying, she has directly "evolved" into a divine beast...

Where is the injury and depression? You have evolved into a divine beast, how are we going to act later?
