Chapter 760: Serena's debut! The girl with short hair
The theme of the first round is "Style Showdown", and the performers need to put on makeup and match clothes for their partners.
Those with the highest number of votes will advance to the second round.
The theme of the second round is 'Free Performance', which is similar to the coordinator's gorgeous performance.
Musashi and Serena are in different groups.
In the first round, Serena wore a princess dress and went on stage with Firefox.
Lu Ye had returned to the judging panel on the second floor and asked, "Has the competition started?"
"Well, it seems that Serena's performance is well received by everyone." Ms. Yashio said.
During the voting session, the audience raised their voting sticks.
The venue lit up with pink light representing Serena.
"Congratulations Serena for successfully advancing to the second round!"
"That's great~" Serena picked up the Fire Fox and held it close to her.
Musashi's second group appeared, and he made up his partner Pumpkin Spirit into a weird style with bandages, will-o'-the-wisp, and wizard hat.
The audience looked puzzled.
This...if this outfit isn't ugly, it's still very beautiful...
"I quite like Musashi Wei's Gothic style," Melissa commented.
"The technique is quite clever, but it doesn't quite fit the theme." Lu Ye said thoughtfully.
Suddenly, Musashi walked out from behind the scenes, and the audience's eyes lit up.
A turning point has occurred.
Musashi changed into a Halloween witch costume.
In this way, the pumpkin spirit's appearance is not offensive, but complements the performer! Lu Ye smiled slightly.
Although Musashi looks like a funny character, she has real talent in the field of coordination! The voting results are out, and Musashi successfully advances to the second round.
"Musashi——"
"That's awesome, meow!!"
Amid the audience's surprised gazes, Kojiro and Meow Meow cheered loudly.
"Ahahaha, thank you all~"
Musashi laughed and blew kisses to the audience on all sides.
"The three finalists for this competition have already been chosen."
The host introduced them: "They are the unique contestants Musashi Wei."
The camera focuses on Musashi, who is waving her fan like a queen.
"Rookie contestant Serena is making her debut!"
Serena had her hair tied up in a high ponytail, her turquoise eyes sparkling.
"And there's contestant Shana from Asaka Town!"
Shana waved to the audience cheerfully.
"Who will get the princess's golden key? Let's wait and see!"
In front of the French window on the second floor, Ms. Yashio asked, "What do you think of the result, Mr. Lu Ye, Master Melissa."
"I'm more optimistic about Serena." Teacher Lu said frankly.
"As for me, I really like Musashi Wei's style, and I always feel like she looks familiar," said Melissa.
Lu Ye looked up at the sky.
After all, Musashi had participated in the coordination meeting in the Sinnoh region, and it was Melissa who commented on her at that time.
The finals officially began.
Musashi sent out the Pumpkin Spirit and Ranranweng.
"Pumpkin Spirit, use Shadow Ball!" Musashi shouted.
“Nu——!!”
The pumpkin spirit's eyes glowed brightly, and a dark shadow ball flew out of its mouth.
Under the trembling gazes of the audience, the shadow ball blasted towards the defenseless Guoranweng.
"Sure enough, use the return punch." Musashi waved his fan, "Pumpkin Spirit, use the seed machine gun!"
"Suo——Nanshi!" Sure enough, the whole body of the old man was shining.
The shadow ball bounced back and exploded with the seed machine gun fired by the pumpkin spirit, raising smoke and crystal-clear grass-type energy fragments.
Musashi stood under the sparkling light and bowed gracefully.
The audience didn't understand it, but they were shocked.
“What kind of art form is this…”
“I understand, art is explosion!”
Lu Ye's mouth twitched.
How should I put it...Musashi might be able to become a great coordinator who creates his own unique style!
The second was Shana’s performance. The little girl held ribbons and her Bulbasaur, performing a gorgeous and colorful flower dance.
The audience responded with warm applause.
"Sana's performance was amazing." Xiaozhi praised.
"Hehe, I still think the previous performer's performance was more distinctive!" Hitlon pushed the frame.
"Because brother feels the same way about explosions." Yurika chuckled.
"No!"
Serena stared at Shana's performance in amazement.
Whether it's Musashi Wei's confident aura or Sana's unique skills... I can't seem to do it...
But... there are still so many audiences looking forward to my performance...
Serena lowered her head, her fingers trembling slightly, and the fire fox looked at her worriedly.
"Next, please welcome the last contestant, Serena!" said the host.
The audience applauded.
Serena took a deep breath and walked onto the catwalk with Fiery Fox.
"There's something wrong with that child's condition," Miss Yashio said with a frown.
Teacher Lu nodded slightly and frowned:
"She puts too much pressure on herself..."
When the free performance began, Serena's performance was not impressive and she soon made mistakes.
In full view of everyone, Fire Fox tripped over her own ribbon and fell with Serena.
The performance was forced to be interrupted and the audience was in an uproar.
Ms. Yashio frowned.
The expected performance accident finally happened...
"Serena..." Yurika looked away worriedly.
"It seems that the little girl sprained her ankle," said Meow Meow.
"In this case, the championship belongs to Musashi!"
Kojiro paused and said, "But it seems that the little girl can't compete anymore."
The scorching spotlight shone on Serena.
She lay on the catwalk in a mess, and the venue was silent.
At the director's signal, the music stopped playing. The silence became even more awkward and unacceptable.
Fire Fox looked guilty and tried to prop Serena up. Serena supported herself on the ground with her arms, her dress was covered in dust, and she lowered her head, unable to see the expression on her face.
The unbearable silence lasted for about three seconds.
Someone in the audience stood up suddenly.
Ignoring everyone's surprised gazes, in the dead silence of the venue, Xiaozhi made a microphone with his hand and shouted loudly:
"Come on, Serena!!"
"Pikachu!!"
Citron and Yurika stared at Xiaozhi blankly, then they came to their senses and shouted, "Come on, Serena!!"
The dead silence was still unbearable.
Kojiro and Meow Meow shouted loudly, "Come on!!"
Musashi's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't go forward to help. Once she intervened, Serena's performance would be over.
The audience looked at Kojiro and others who were out of place, and gradually gave up their mentality of watching the show.
In front of the French window on the second floor.
Lu Ye looked at Ms. Yashio and said coldly:
"Who told you to stop the music?"
Ms. Yashio was startled, then suddenly came to her senses, turned off the Bluetooth, and whispered with difficulty:
"The show...go on!"
The soft music started again.
Serena tried her best to hold herself up, lowered her head, and walked slowly down the catwalk.
Amid spontaneous applause from the audience.
Serena bowed, symbolizing the unsuccessful end of this performance.
"The performances of the three contestants have all ended!"
The host, Pierre, came on stage, stirred up the low atmosphere, and said loudly:
"Then please wave your voting sticks for the contestants you support!"
The light of voting sticks lit up in the dim meeting room.
The audience cheered for the contestants.
In the end, Musashi won the first Princess Gold Key with a slight advantage! "Great, Musashi won, meow~"
Kojiro and Meowth cheered, "Our hard work for so long has not been in vain!"
Musashi opened the fan in a chic manner, covering her red lips, unable to hide her smile, and laughed exaggeratedly: "Master-level competition, I, Musashi Wei, am here, haha~!"
"I have to collect two more golden keys before I can participate in the Masters Tournament." Pierre smiled embarrassedly.
Musashi was confused and said, "Oh, so that's how it is."
Serena walked backstage dejectedly, holding the Firefox.
"Woo~" The fire fox showed a guilty look.
"It doesn't matter." Serena said softly, "I just care too much about decoration."
"Serena!" Xiaozhi and others trotted over.
"Serena, are you okay?" Yurika said worriedly.
"I'm fine~ I've recovered."
Serena lowered her eyes and said with a smile, "There is still a chance to win the princess's golden key. We will definitely succeed next time!"
Yurika and Citron looked at each other.
"That's great." Xiaozhi smiled and said, "Let's go have dinner. We are starving."
"Hmm..." Serena nodded slightly, slightly lost in thought.
"Serena."
Serena raised her head and looked at the figure approaching in the distance.
He slowly took off his sunglasses, revealing a familiar, serious face.
"Teacher Lu?" Xiaozhi and others asked in unison.
Lu Ye touched Yurika's head, looked at Serena, and said seriously: "I came here just to tell you that everything we did in the past was not meaningless."
Serena was stunned, her mind recalling everything that happened before the exhibition match.
Practicing all night, discussing techniques, designing costumes...
However, in the main competition, nothing was done...
Serena's chest shook as she took a deep breath.
“We are all made up of our past.”
Lu Ye said gently: "So don't easily deny your past. It really exists and must be valuable."
"Yeah... Yeah," Serena replied tremblingly.
"Okay..." Serena cleared her throat and said with a smile, "Let's go have dinner."
"ah?"
Xiaozhi scratched his cheek and nodded as if he understood: "Oh..."
Dinner passed in silence.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Lu Ye rode a Rotom bicycle for morning exercise along the coastline, crossed the roundabout and greenway, returned to the circular fountain in front of the luxury hotel, circled the fountain, and continued to drive out.
The sky was dimly lit with a pale sky, and the waves crashed against the iron-like rocks, splashing gray-white foam.
Lu Ye stopped his bicycle and looked over the pier for a while. He caught a glimpse of a figure wearing a red hat out of the corner of his eye.
Serena looked out to sea, the breeze ruffling her chestnut hair, her turquoise eyes thoughtful.
Teacher Lu didn't bother them.
He left Gengar here to watch while he rode his bike to the Pokémon Center.
"Teacher Lu!" Miss Joy said in surprise.
"Hello."
Lu Ye smiled.
"I'm looking for Xiaozhi."
…
The horizon was dark, the night wind was howling, and the waves hit the rocks and broke into powder.
Serena's long chestnut hair fluttered in the wind, and Naughty Panda and Fire Fox followed her worriedly.
Her turquoise eyes flickered as she recalled the scene of her tripping in the morning.
Xiaozhi's cheering.
A performance by a strong rival.
Encouragement from Teacher Lu.
"Everything we have done in the past is not meaningless."
Crystal clear tears rolled down her cheeks, and then Serena sobbed as if the string had broken.
Half-kneeling on the ground, Serena wiped the corners of her eyes, big tears splashed onto the ground, and she cried loudly on the deserted dock.
In the distance, the little purple fat man was watching silently.
Geng Gui held a handkerchief in his mouth, tears in his eyes: "Kou Jie! (ω)"
The naughty panda and the fire fox also flew into Serena's arms with tears in their eyes.
"Don't worry."
Serena snuggled up to the two little ones, rubbed their foreheads, and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
The ships moored at the pier reflected a little light, and as the morning light appeared, a faint halo rose in the east.
"But. Now, for the first time, I have this feeling."
Serena smiled and said, "I am a challenger now too."
The naughty panda and the fire fox looked up at her, and were immediately embraced by her.
Sharing each other's body temperature, Serena put the two little guys down and took out the makeup box from her bag.
Serena took out a pair of scissors and slowly stood up.
She faced the sea breeze, gently closed her eyes, and her beautiful chestnut hair fluttered in the breeze.
The sun is about to rise in the east, the sea is burning, and the golden sun is gradually rising.
Scenes from the past flashed by, including the encounter with Xiaozhi, riding the Armored Rhino, taming the Fire Fox...everything.
Close the scissors.
A strand of cut hair fluttered in the sea breeze, and another strand floated away with the wind.
Above the pier.
Lu Ye was riding a Rotom bike and glanced at Xiaozhi who was panting and riding a shared bike.
“Luckily my bike is electric.”
Lu Ye thought to himself: "Otherwise, I really can't catch up with Xiaozhi."
“Serena——!!”
Xiaozhi shouted loudly.
Serena turned her head slowly, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful turquoise eyes.
She was standing on the dock, watching the sunrise over the sea. Her short hair revealed a boyish look, and her eyes were red and swollen.
"Xiaozhi..." Serena put her hands on her ears, touching her short hair, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
"It was just a failure!"
Xiaozhi said loudly: "I have failed many times, and, and..."
"I think short hair suits you too!" Xiaozhi shouted desperately.
Lu Ye: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Handsome guy, who are you?
"So, you can definitely get the Carlos Queen."
Xiaozhi stretched out his palm and said seriously: "Just like me and Pikachu, we can definitely stand at the top of the Miare Conference!"
"Pika!" Pikachu's eyes were firm and his cheeks were electrified.
Serena's face flushed, she touched her short hair behind her ears, didn't shake Xiaozhi's hand, put her hands behind her back, nodded vigorously, and said with a smile:
"Um!"
Geng Gui holds a handkerchief in his mouth: "Kou Jie~(ω)"
Lu Ye: "...Give me a piece too, thank you."
