There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

Kitazawa Reiyou walked quickly to the front aisle and motioned to Sakutani Ye to wait here for a while.

Then he walked into the crowd, strolled to Caroline's side, and behind two men in suits who were sitting upright, and patted them on the shoulders gently.

One of the men frowned and turned around. Just when he was about to ask something, he saw the handsome boy slightly curved his eyebrows.

He was wearing a thin, neatly trimmed white shirt, his figure was smooth and straight, and his brows were sharp as blades.

The action of gently shaking the phone was full of youthful unruliness, and a hint of understanding flashed in the man's eyes.

He nodded, leaned over to the ear of the man sitting upright next to Caroline and whispered a few words. After getting the promise, he stood up and walked to the other side with Kitazawa Reiyuu.

Not long after, the man with a slightly red face and irrepressible excitement ran quickly from the aisle and spoke into the ear of the man in the front row.

It seemed that she was too excited, so much so that a tiny sound escaped from her lips and was caught by Caroline beside her.

Company...Investment...Cooperation...

Her eyebrows were slightly raised and her red lips were curled up.

Then, as if she hadn't heard anything, she raised her hand towards the man who stood up and said goodbye to her.

Not long after, two people replaced the two men who left and sat next to her.

The one who was farther away from him was the young man he had just talked to.

And the other person...

Caroline greeted the two of them with a polite smile and quickly glanced at them.

As if she suddenly thought of something, her smile became more genuine.

Hmm...still a familiar-looking kid.

Even though Kitazawa Reiyuu pressed him down on his seat and he was looking closely at the woman in front of him whom he had only seen on TV, Sakutani Ye still felt it was unrealistic.

Her fair skin is as crystal clear as jade, her face is dignified and beautiful, her eyes are like autumn water, and her every move reveals an unconcealable elegance.

Is this Karuna, the league champion of the Kalos region and also an internationally renowned movie star?

"What's wrong? Is my eyeliner smudged?"

Sakuya Ye was startled for a moment, and after a while he realized that Karuna was talking to him, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, no——"

"Really? That's good." Karen turned her head, blinked and smiled, "I always felt like someone was looking at my face. I thought my makeup was ruined."

A blush suddenly appeared on Shuoya Ye's face. She turned her head away awkwardly and said softly, "I'm sorry."

The boy's action made Karuno laugh out loud, and she replied with a smile, "It's okay, Sakutani."

Suddenly hearing his name coming out of the woman's mouth, Shuo Gu Ye, who had not yet recovered from his shock, could not help but stare blankly with his eyes wide open, speaking incoherently.

"You, I, you-?!"

"Sakutani Ye, male, sixteen years old, currently being raised by Dr. Oki Yukinari of Pallet Town. When he was ten years old, he lost his memory for some reason and was found by Dr. Oki at the beach and taken back to the institute for treatment. After a DNA comparison, the Tokiwa police did not find your parents' information in the system, so it was determined that -"

Karuno swallowed back a few words and smiled at the other boy who was obviously on guard. "As the champion of the Kalos League, it shouldn't be strange for you to pay attention to the next generation of promising trainers through the [Seedling Program], right?"

Kitazawa Lingyou withdrew his gaze and slowly lay back on the cushion.

Karuno turned her gaze back and said to the stunned Sakuya Ye.

"I didn't expect that this new member of the Seedling Program would have the leisure to come to the Grand Theater to watch the evening show during his trip."

Without waiting for Shuo Gu Ye to respond, she continued.

"It's a good idea to do this. Don't put all your energy into training and gradually lose yourself in the endless journey of getting stronger."

Karuna lowered her eyes slightly, as if she had thought of something.

"Many talented and ambitious trainers have emerged in the Kalos region over the years, but after they were included in the Seedling Program, they mistakenly took the [protection] given by the Alliance as [pressure]. On the road to growth, they blindly pursued strength and ignored the beauty around them, becoming fighting machines that only knew how to fight."

"This is a warning from the Kalos League to the world. I think this is also the reason why Mr. Du gave this watch to you."

Sakutani Ye followed Kalno's line of sight to the low-key and inconspicuous black watch on his left wrist, and his eyes moved slightly.

"So the Kanto Alliance is the better choice."

Karuna smiled faintly, "I have always thought that the alliance representatives from Carlos seemed too serious and cold when they first met with the trainers of the Seedling Program. Although this is the result of slowing down their demeanor for them who are used to fighting on the front lines, it is still too much pressure for the fledgling trainers."

"Maybe one day I can go to Mr. Tongdu to learn from him and understand how he communicates with novice trainers. Then the Kalos League can apply it in actual combat."

Kitazawa Lingyou twitched the corners of his lips imperceptibly, recalling a red-haired man who was too busy to keep his feet on the ground.

communicate?

Did it mean that when they were leaving, he appeared in the sky riding a Dragonite, casually dropped a watch, and left immediately?

He really couldn't imagine how Du, the cold-hearted person whom Team Rocket feared the most, could be beautified into this state in the eyes of the Carlos League?

Could it be that it was because of his usual high level of task completion rate?

But I never expected that Shuo Guye nodded in agreement, "King Dutian really helped me a lot."

After hearing this, Carol became interested and continued the conversation.

Then the two of them started with [Crossing the River] and gradually transitioned to [The customs and habits of the Kanto region], opening up the conversation.

When asked why she came to the party, Caroline thought for a moment and answered.

"As for the status of the league's champion, it is to strengthen the cooperation between the Kalos region and the Kanto region."

"For celebrities, this not only increases exposure, but also allows them to learn useful skills and enrich themselves."

"For dessert lovers..."

Karuna joked and winked, "This is to taste different flavors of food!"

"Ms. Karuna likes desserts too?"

"Of course!" Karuna's eyes lit up, and then she sighed with regret, "Unfortunately, in order to maintain my image in front of the camera, I can only eat a little bit every week to satisfy my craving."

Afterwards, the two of them started discussing food again until the host of the party stood on the stage and opened the curtain.

"Shh..." Caroline raised her index finger to her lips, "The show has begun. It's polite to stay focused when others are performing."

----

The second-floor auditorium of the Grand Theater provides an excellent view, allowing Shuo Yaye to overlook the stage.

He sat in a soft chair, his back against a velvet cushion, holding a program in his hand, but his attention had already been attracted by the performance on the stage.

Dancers in gorgeous costumes are dancing to the rhythm of the music. Their steps are light and energetic, and their skirts are spinning with their movements, as if they are leaping up in the wind.

The opera singer's voice echoed in the theater, his voice high and penetrating, telling an ancient and happy love story.

Following the actors' words, Shuoya Ye slowly closed her eyes and immersed herself in the moving melody and lyrics.

The interior of the Grand Theatre is decorated with retro golden patterns, exuding a sense of classical luxury.

The band members wore formal performance attire and held their instruments as if they were their own lives.

The conductor stood in front of the orchestra and bowed to the audience, then turned and posed for the musicians.

Every note was clearly transmitted to Shuoya Ye's ears, and he could feel the vibration of the music.

The melodious sound of string instruments, the majestic sound of brass instruments, the warm sound of woodwind instruments, the shock of percussion instruments...

The musicians played with full concentration, and the instruments in their hands seemed to come alive, producing harmonious and complex melodies.

When the last note sounded, almost all the audience stood up and applauded these outstanding musicians, even Kaluna and Sakuya Ye were no exception.

When the curtain fell again, Shuoya Ye couldn't help but look at the next work on the program, which was also the last work of the evening.

"Next up is a creative and artistic performance with unique designs, dancing with Pokémon on stage, leaving countless excellent performances in the Kanto region—!"

The host held the microphone in his hand and concentrated his breath.

Before he even called out the name, screams were heard from somewhere in the audience.

"Izumi——!"

"Top coordinator Xiaoyou——!"

"Izumi baby--!"

The deafening screams of the women forced the host to change the words temporarily. He raised his left hand excitedly and shouted.

"That's right! The next one to appear is the one that everyone is looking forward to! The Pokémon Coordinator who is determined to make the Grand Contest a success in the Kanto region - Izumi Yuu!"

“Ah! Izumi!!”

“You’re the best—!!”

But it's not over yet.

The host smiled and waited for the audience to calm down before speaking again, "And his special guest, who became an instant hit at the Cool Music launch conference, became a popular trainer in Kanto for a while, and was imitated and pursued by thousands of girls, famous for his superior figure and stage performance——!"

"Fujino Sakura!"

There was an uproar in the audience.

Even Sakutani Ye turned to look at Kitazawa Reiyu in shock, his eyes full of surprise.

Kitazawa Reisuke nodded calmly, took out his cell phone and shook it.

What he meant was that Fujino Sakura had sent them a text message before, saying that she wanted to give them a surprise.

When Lingyou mentioned the tickets for the party, Xiaoying seemed particularly relaxed and said that she must take them to see the party.

But when Lingyou bid farewell to her, she waited for a long time before replying.

There seemed to be some shock, but more of joy.

“You must come to the party!”

"I have a surprise for you!"

----

The host looked at the audience who had suddenly become noisy with a smile, but did not stop them.

But a moment later he gave us another powerful dose of stuff.

"After Mr. Izumi Yuu communicated with the Grand Theater, it was decided that the show would be changed to "Redemption"! A brand new story with Ms. Fujino Sakura and many Pokémon as the protagonists, and Mr. Izumi Yuu as the supporting role!"

"Then please open your eyes! Join us in this magnificent celebration!"

“The show begins!”
