It turns out.
Wula La is not boasting.
Compared to the time of the Mikoli Club, the ferocity of Garchomp is even more intense.
This also made the visual impact of its technique combinations stronger, capturing the audience in less than thirty seconds.
"The performance is even more compelling than last time!"
Xiaogang's words received unanimous agreement from the crowd.
Another high score was born.
Baimu withdrew his gaze, looking down at the Altered-color Gengar beside him, who was also focused. Once it sensed his gaze, it immediately lifted its head and returned a crescent-like bright smile.
This guy had just come to the preparation room with Hoopa.
And after a certain overly excited Facehugger was forcibly taken away by Mei Yali, it decided to stay and watch the subsequent performances with him.
"Hmm..."
There seems to be something different about this guy.
Although the Altered-color Gengar would always smile like this with its mouth reaching the ears in the past, the seemingly happy smile always hid a cautious undertone.
As if worried about provoking him and thus causing self-harm.
Baimu knew it was caused by Jarvis, who manipulated Pokémon with fear as a form of binding, causing the Altered-color Gengar to subconsciously feel afraid when facing a new trainer.
However.
The Altered-color Gengar, which was in that state not long ago, suddenly became a bit... strange?
It seemed to be in its eyes, or perhaps its movements.
There was less subconscious alienation and more indescribable closeness, vaguely reminding him of the Aggron during the Aron period.
Back then, they relied on each other in harsh environments, and the Big Monster would always stick closely by his side, alert to all dangers, occasionally looking up at him like a little dog.
The gaze is very similar to the current Altered-color Gengar.
Mawile's performance?
The only thing that could stimulate and change it in such a short time should be this.
Ask Porygon II tonight.
It's been quite close to the Altered-color Gengar recently.
"Heh heh."
Baimu patted the Altered-color Gengar, whose silly smile was no different from a silly laugh.
This guy's skull is not as smooth as Blissey's; its back is covered with short, stubby spikes like Baxcalibur, reaching all the way to the back of its head, forming an appearance similar to an explosion.
"96 points! Amazing!"
"Tied with Xiaoguang, huh."
"Passing on the will... Passing on the will... How to pass on the will?"
The noisy voices around Baimu redirected his gaze back to the TV, where the giant number '96' was clearly visible.
So far, fewer than ten people have exceeded the level of ninety, and only he, Liuqia, Xiaoguang, and Wula La have scored above 95.
Even if some contestants think the first assessment doesn't represent the final result.
In many people's minds, the competitors present have already been divided into tiers according to the first assessment's results.
Online, the probability rankings for winning first, second, and even third places have already been lined up.
With a glorious record of winning five Gorgeous Competitions since debuting, Baimu undoubtedly tops the list.
The competition continues.
On the other hand.
Under intentional publicity by the conference bureau, he, Mawile, and the performance named "The Most Beautiful Sword Dance" entered the top twenty of the Poké Blogger overall trending list and the top five of Hoenn's trending list.
Porygon II watched the entire online marketing campaign.
What puzzled it was that the usual online forces that frequently promoted trainers showed no signs of adding fuel this time.
Are they holding back something big?
Indeed, the trainer hasn't truly won the title of top Coordinator Trainer. According to the trainer, premature promotion is — "celebrating midfield."
It began to look forward to the day after tomorrow's Poké Blogger.
In the preparation room.
When the last contestant finished their performance, Baimu and others gradually headed to the stage site.
After the first assessment of the grand Gorgeous Celebration's main competition, all contestants need to make an appearance in front of the audience, and the advancement list will be announced accordingly.
Many feel that this announcement form is a bit "cruel."
But the Alliance Conference has such a setup, so the grand Gorgeous Celebration adopted it as well.
At the venue.
As everyone stepped onto the stage in turn, applause rose like a tsunami, and when several high-scoring performers appeared, resounding cheers that shook the ground erupted.
Boom! Boom!
Colorful fireworks exploded in the sky.
Vivian stood among the crowd, loudly announcing, "Thank you for waiting, audience friends! After a full day of performances, the review results of the first round of assessment are about to be announced!
"Among these sixty-four powerful and dazzling Coordinator Trainers, those who will advance to the second assessment, the Gorgeous Battle, are—"
She pointed to the large screen.
In an instant.
Countless boxes rotated and emerged; portraits filled everyone's view.
Baimu was prominently placed in the first position of the second row, with Xiaoguang above him.
Wow!
The audience burst into waves of excited screams.
The contestants successfully advancing to the next round smiled, while those who regrettably did not advance showed various expressions of disappointment and sadness.
Vivian continued, "Next, we will reshuffle these sixteen contestants to decide the battle groups for the second assessment of the Gorgeous Battle!"
The boxes on the screen spun again, with faces flashing back and forth, finally freezing after a few seconds.
"Third group, huh..."
Baimu glanced at his opponent for the first round—
A male Coordinator Trainer he did not recognize.
But Xiaoguang and her group met some acquaintances they had encountered before.
