Dual-career Pokémon trainer

November 8st, sunny weather

The town, which had been relatively quiet, was bustling with activity today.

A lively crowd was also gathering in a corner of the town.

As a burst of fireworks were released, the crisp sound was transmitted throughout the square through the microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to have kept you waiting!

The Pokémon Grand Contest Meteor Conference begins now---"

The first person who caught everyone's attention was naturally Vivian, the emcee who was most familiar with the Hoenn region and had worked hard.

“Well, let me introduce you to the judges who will be reviewing the upcoming performances.

First up is Mr. Konkenstein, the director of the Pokémon Grand Convention Office!"

"Sukui, the president of the Pokémon Club..."

"It's just once, but Miss Vivian, have you ever thought of changing your lines?"

Lin Jing yawned, looking a little nonchalant, which was unusual for him.

Lukia ignored this guy who didn't have to play today, and was just doing the final inspection for Feng Lingling.

“That’s a little bit, but Miss Vivian’s energetic voice is still very motivating for newcomers.

And rather than changing the lines or something, I think it is Mr. Sugizu who should be changed the most."

"I totally agree with this."

"Don't talk like Mr. Suzuka at this time..."

Lukia felt embarrassed, feeling that this was totally inconsistent with Lin Jing's image.

“Okay, okay, but I think you need to be more careful during the first round of review.

I just took a look around, and except for a few people like you, almost half of the people chose Pokémon that use rock, steel, and ground, or Pokémon that need evolution stones to evolve to participate in this review.

And they all look well taken care of.

I think the competition will be much more intense than the normal first round of review.”

As she spoke, Lin Jing rubbed the Sylveon that was snoring in her arms.

After all, this one is a little different from the usual colorful and gorgeous competitions because of the slight specialness of Meteor Town.

Many people seem to choose this type of Pokémon. In addition to the fact that this small town is very knowledgeable about this type of Pokémon, there are also many who hope to evolve with the help of evolution stones.

Of course, there are also some people who, seeing that the glamour contest is held right next to their home, want to participate as well.

In fact, there are quite a few gorgeous competitions for this type of coordination trainer on weekdays.

Sometimes, they can even account for half of the contestants.

But it’s different from those that are really just for fun and can’t even pass the first round of review.

If the locals here are only subject to the first round of screening, they are really no match for those people.

After all, in a sense, the first round of review not only showcases the characteristics of the Pokémon themselves, but can also be said to be a talent show for individual Pokémon.

For example, the first one who comes on stage now is an uncle who is obviously a local.

I saw him rolling over with a few black and completely irregular stones, and finally throwing the Poké Ball in his hand upwards.

"Sex-inducing eyes, identify them."

"yalayala~"

The short figure with gemstones on his body first laughed grimly.

Then he quickly selected one of the stones without even looking carefully.

The seemingly slender claws lightly touched it, and a small hole was dug out in the seemingly hard rock like tofu.

After several consecutive claws, the Soul-Snatching Eyes had taken out an irregular azure blue stone.

Then he showed the stone cavity, which still retained its original shape, to the judges and the audience, and there was no trace of blue left inside.

But it seems that all this is not over yet.

Following the uncle's instructions and seductive eyes.

The enchanting eyes began to extend their claws to the stones that they had originally ignored.

But the strange thing is that after Soul-Snatching Eyes fiddled with the stones for a long time, it seemed that the stones did not change at all.

While everyone was still confused, the charming eye grinned gloomily, with teeth that seemed sharper than a megalodon.

The cold and strange purple wind blew gently, and the originally angular stones were covered with a layer of fine black and gray dust.

Of course, there were also sculptures of bewitching eyes of various shapes that appeared in front of them as everyone exclaimed.

Even the original stone of the Soul-Enchanting Eye that was found did not seem to be wasted. After being carved, the originally irregular raw stone has been carved into a finished gem.

With the sunlight shining at this moment, the aqua blue glow illuminates many of the statues, as if a group of bewitching eyes are fighting for the gem from the sea.

“Great! As expected of a craftsman from the Meteor Town Gem Shop, he easily transformed the seemingly hard rock into its current vivid appearance.

I feel that if these statues were painted, they would be so realistic that they would look like real eyes.

Especially the way that the Soul-Snatching Eyes handled that gem.

The miraculous carving and color are so dazzling that it is irresistible!"

Vivian seemed to be completely attracted by the gems in front of her.

Instead, there were cheers and indifference in the audience.

I don’t know whether this kind of performance has no appeal to them at all or it seems too normal.

But judging from the subsequent performances...

...

"26.6 points. The 12th player to score more than 25 points has appeared in this game."

Hmm... maybe it's too normal.

"Are you kidding me... This is outrageous."

Lukia, who had not yet entered the game, was also going crazy.

This is completely different from what she imagined.

When will the score in the first round of review exceed 25 points?

Is this a glamour contest?

And don’t even mention this one that just got 26.6 points. Based on the scores so far, this score will definitely not make it to the second round of review.

"After all, there's Meteor Falls nearby... People and Pokémon living here will all master the relevant skills.

Although it is not obvious at ordinary times, I have to say that this kind of thing is really eye-catching in the first round of review. "

Lin Jing also nodded slightly.

But unfortunately, most of the performances are of little reference value to him.

After all, there are no cutting-type Pokémon among our own Pokémon that are good at slashing moves.

As for the exploration category, although there are several, in the gorgeous competition, this kind of simple and accurate opening of the blind box will not get many points and can only be regarded as a bonus at most. After all, some more eye-catching performance methods are still needed.

"Don't make it sound so easy here. Although I am prepared, what's wrong with those opponents?"

"...You bought so many things these days, didn't you notice?"

Looking at Lukia who was so nervous that she was about to sweat, Lin Jing rubbed the Sylph Eevee in his arms again and then began to introduce her.

"That bluebird statue of yours is probably made by the first Haunted Eye (it's a bit far away, but the cutting marks look very similar), and those three bracelets are all made by the eighth Geodude (the glossiness is exactly the same), and I think your agate hairpin was bought from the store opened by the previous trainer who used the escape technique (the agate is exactly the same type).

The rest is less obvious.”
