Dual-career Pokémon trainer

November 7st, sunny weather

On this day with nice weather, Changshou Town, which usually has few travelers, is unusually lively.

If there is only one reason, it is probably that they seldom use the large venue in this small town.

“Hello everyone!

The much-anticipated Pokémon Contest Longevity Competition is finally about to begin!

I wonder what kind of battle we will see this time?"

"Oh~

I think I have heard the voice you have been waiting for!

So let's wait and see what happens next!"

“Now, let me, the host, Vivian, introduce you to the judges of this competition!

First up is the Pokémon Contest Director General Kang Ken..."

...

"Emm, it looks like it has already started."

On the lawn outside the conference venue, one can hear the noise inside the venue as well as the live broadcast on the big screen outside.

Lin Jing, who was training with the sea lion, also temporarily stopped his original actions.

"Da Da? (So we really don't have to go and see it?)"

On her shoulder, Xiaoxiannai also raised questions.

It thought they were going to watch the battle together today.

However, Lin Jing waved his hand lacking interest.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Anyway, you’ve already seen Lucia’s performance in the first round of review.

There must be nothing wrong with what she said.

We just have to wait and see what the final round of reviews are.”

"Loto Loto~ (I agree with Loto, many performances in the first round are really boring, and it's more interesting to throw the ball before Jing~)"

As soon as he finished saying this, Rotom noticed several murderous gazes and quickly changed his words with sweat all over his forehead.

"Loto... (That's not what I meant, Loto...)"

"Ahem, okay, okay.

What Rotom said is true. You have seen it once before.

Some of the performances that made it through the first round of review were really unbearable.

for example..."

As if to prove what Lin Jing had just said, the third performer who had just appeared on the screen was having his serpentine bear pick up things back and forth.

How should I put it...According to the rules of the Grand Contest, the serpentine bear's habit of picking up things is indeed reflected.

But there are just a few that are...too ordinary.

So you just treated that jump where you dodged things on the ground as a performance!

“Da Da… (That’s true…)”

Looking at this eye-catching performance in front of her, Xiaoxiannai was also ashamed.

Although there were indeed some very eye-catching ones in the first round of review.

However, there are actually more people who come here with the mentality of giving it a try and watching the eye-catching scenes.

I remember there was an acrobatic performance like in a circus at the last gorgeous competition.

Although the effect is good, it feels like I have gone to the wrong set.

In the end, it was rejected after one round of review.

“So let’s practice more first.

The next performance and battle will be up to you two.

We have to hurry up before then."

Seeing that the little fairy understood, Lin Jing also flicked its flowing cream crown, causing a little bit of cream to stick to her index finger.

Then he seemed to hear a sucking sound above his head, and helplessly stretched out his milky white fingers to the top of his head.

With a moist touch, the index finger that had just been stained white was now clean.

Hmm...I feel like I've found a new use for the flower stalks.

"Hoohoo~ (Okay! Quiet, let's continue~)"

I don’t know if it was because Lin Jing just said that he would let her play next time, or because of the occasional cheers coming from the venue not far away.

The sea lion is also full of energy.

"Very good! In that case, Ball Sea Lion, let's first---"

"Damn it, it's still too late!"

Just as Lin Jing was about to continue training with the Qiuqiu sea lion, a voice of regret and unwillingness suddenly came from not far away.

Lin Jing and the other little ones also looked over subconsciously.

A green-haired boy who looked like he had been running for a long time and was out of breath was holding his knees and gasping for breath.

“Well… the first round of review has just started.

It should be in time for you to go now."

Seeing the other person's lost look, Lin Jing guessed what had happened and quickly reminded him.

After all, he didn't seem to hear any broadcast saying that player xx didn't show up and therefore gave up.

“No…it’s no use.

Actually...I haven't signed up yet."

At the end, the green-haired boy also spoke with some difficulty.

"This... that can't be helped."

Listening to the other party's words, Lin Jing's mouth twitched slightly.

My goodness, the competition has already started and you haven’t even registered. You are really hopeless.

If I remember correctly, the registration deadline for both the Hoenn and Sinnoh Grand Prix is ​​the day before the opening ceremony at the latest.

“This…I can’t do anything about it.

Because I got lost while capturing Pokémon in Misty Mountain.

So I came back a few days later than expected.”

The green-haired boy also sounded disappointed.

He had heard that there seemed to be very rare Pokémon in Misty Mountain, so he thought that there were still a few days before attending the conference.

So I plan to see if I can capture some good Pokémon first.

Who knew that Misty Mountain was as its name suggests, with fog everywhere once you enter.

It's so hard to see a Pokémon, but it disappears in a flash.

As a result, in this environment, he found that he couldn't even find the way down the mountain.

I wandered around in the misty mountains for several days before I was lucky enough to get out.

"So, big brother, are you late for some reason as well?"

Perhaps out of sympathy, the green-haired boy seemed to realize something and his mood seemed to have improved a lot. He looked up at Lin Jing.

Lin Jing replied with a slight twitch of the corner of his mouth.

"No...it's just that my friend is participating in a competition and I'm here to train my Pokémon."

As Lin Jing looked at the sweaty face after raising it, she felt a sense of familiarity for some reason and spoke tentatively.

"By the way, my name is Lin Jing.

And you? "

"Oh, by the way! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is..."
