Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

But this time, the number of spectators gathered in the venue was obviously unreasonable.

"What's the fuss about?"

Although he was puzzled, Lowe still walked towards the backstage preparation room, and he took Manchong and Liliae with him.

Although according to the rules, only contestants can enter the preparation room, but Lowe said that Liliae and Manchong were his assistants, so they were decisively allowed in.

As long as the number of people is not too ridiculous, we will not make things difficult for the people brought by the contestants. After all, many contestants do bring their own makeup and styling helpers.

Arriving at the backstage preparation room, Lowe was just about to consider picking out a performance costume. Before that, he had spent three days looking but hadn't found one that satisfied him, so he had already made preparations so he might as well just make do with what he had.

As a result, as soon as he stepped into the backstage preparation room, he saw a figure surrounded by several contestants participating in the qualifying competition, like a moon surrounded by stars.

"……what?"

When he saw the other person, Manchong recognized him immediately.

"Ms. Lucia? Why would she…"

As a fairly famous idol, it's no surprise that Manchong knows her. After all, the majority of Lukia's fans are teenagers of the same age as Manchong and Lowe.

It’s just that Lowe doesn’t care about these things on a daily basis. All his attention is on Pokémon, so he is not very familiar with them.

Manchong's reaction is quite consistent with the normal reaction of a teenager of this age.

And Lucia saw Lowe at a glance and immediately waved her hand openly.

"Ah, we meet again~"

"... Well, we meet again. No wonder so many people came here for no apparent reason. It turns out it's because of this reason."

For a moment, Lowe didn't know whether to laugh or cry...

"...So, Ms. Rukia will be the special judge for this Super Tournament?"

"Yes, that's it~"

"..."

For a moment, Lowe didn't know how to react, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, no matter who the special judges were, what Lowe was going to do would not change.

He just needs to follow the script he has prepared and present the performance he wants to present. Everything else has no direct connection with him as a contestant.

After thinking this through, everything else doesn't matter anymore, however...

"... Well, this is a small gift from you as a senior. Here~"

Lukia casually took out a handbag from behind her like she was performing a magic trick. Lowe was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out to take it, opened it, and saw a complete set of performance costumes inside.

"……ah"

"I think if I want to participate in a gorgeous competition, I will definitely need a few sets of performance costumes. Although the styles I prepared are based on my personal aesthetic, I don't know if they are suitable~"

"...Before that, I have a question. Why does Ms. Rukia know my size?!"

If it was a performance costume specially prepared for Lowe, then regardless of the style, isn't body size more important?

Facing this question, Lucia smiled and pointed to her eyes. "I am still very confident in my ability to judge visually. Besides, Lowe's body shape is nothing special. It is a very ordinary standard body shape. It is easy to judge the approximate size~"

This is true. Lowe's body shape is very symmetrical and standard, which is commonly known as one size fits all. There is a high probability that there will be no accidents if you prepare according to this size.

Lowe thought for two seconds. Yes, in the game, Lucia would indeed give players corresponding performance costumes in the plot of the gorgeous competition.

But in the problem game you can treat it as part of the gameplay, but in reality you are suddenly given clothes as a senior, which really makes people feel like there are some other extra elements.

For a moment, the attention of the people around was focused on him. Of course, no matter what, this was just a personal action on this side. Even if others had doubts, they would definitely not ask directly.

The agent lady standing by must have known about this in advance, and it was even very likely that this set of performance clothes was prepared by Lucia asking her to help.

In short, Lowe thought for two seconds and felt that he did not feel right to reject someone's invitation to add his number last time... This time, he would feel a little guilty about rejecting someone's kindness again.

"...Thank you. I will make good use of this costume and give a performance worthy of it!"

"Well, it's worth it~"

After finishing the matter, the girl simply waved her hand, then her eyes flashed around Lowe, and then stopped on Liliae.

"Oh, what a cute child!"

She immediately jumped over in two steps, her eyes shining so brightly that Liliae couldn't help but subconsciously take two steps back.

“…Ah? Ah?”

She was obviously a little confused about this situation, and Lowe was also confused about it.

Even the Masked Cat beside Lowe was stunned. Because of Lukia's reaction just now, the Masked Cat's dissatisfaction was about to overflow. However, just when this dissatisfaction was about to be visible to the naked eye, Lukia's attention actually shifted directly from Lowe to Liliae.

Liliae was now wearing a wig and colored contact lenses, which more or less changed her appearance, and she was a little overwhelmed when people suddenly commented on her cuteness.

Honestly speaking, it was only because Lucia herself was a beautiful girl. If it were her gender, she would have called the police with those words and attitude.

"... Lukia" The agent lady next to her was a little overwhelmed, but Lukia didn't care and spoke to Liliae.

"How about it, are you interested in challenging the gorgeous competition?"

"Eh, but, but... I'm not a trainer..."

Liliae responded in a low voice. At that moment, a look of regret appeared on her face. "Is that so? What a pity. She's so cute. Even if she's not an idol, she'll definitely become a very popular contestant~"

"..."

This should be considered a very high standard of evaluation. After all, the other party himself has achieved great success in the field of gorgeous competitions. However, Liliae is indeed not a trainer, so there is definitely no fate in this regard for the time being.

After confirming this, Lukia decisively took two steps back and made way.

"Well, it turns out that using my vacation time today was the right decision. Well, then... please let me greet you properly at the competition later~"

She waved her hand, and once again, as if she had appeared miraculously, she disappeared from everyone's sight with extremely brisk steps.

She is indeed a girl who comes and goes like the wind...

"So, that means... Miss Lucia came here specifically for Lowe?"

Manchong finally came back to his senses from what had just happened. There was no way. This situation was indeed too unbelievable. It was understandable that he couldn't come to his senses for a while.

"...I think she just came here for fun, don't think too much about it. I've only met Miss Lucia once."

There wasn't even much communication between them, and they didn't say more than ten sentences in total. Logically speaking, it was probably just a simple relationship between a senior and a junior.

However, if it was just a senior showing concern for a junior, then the fact that he took time off from work to come here and gave them performance clothes seemed a bit excessive.

Of course, Lowe took into account what Daigo had said before, that Ryukia’s master was also very interested in his performance, and that might also be because of Mikoli.

Anyway, no matter what, this was just a simple episode. After calming down, Lowe was ready to go on stage.

"Just do it as we rehearsed before. Although we can't rehearse the last part, or the specific effect can't be rehearsed, it doesn't matter. According to calculations, it should be about the same. Let's do it this way!"

Lowe said something that both Liliae and Manchong were very concerned about. What exactly was that so-called special performance? Lowe made it so mysterious.

Of course, I’m about to go on stage, no matter whether it’s a good job or a bad job, I’ll definitely be able to see it soon.

and so……

After changing into his performance clothes and calling upon Eevee and Kamen Meow, Lowe stepped onto the performance stage from the backstage and stood together with several other contestants who were also participating in the qualifying round.

"Contestant Luo Wei, entry-level ribbon, please give me some advice~"

Chapter 126 Please Start Your Performance

"Contestant Luo Wei, entry-level ribbon, please give me some advice~"

As soon as Lowe came on the court, he attracted most of the attention as usual...

...The reason is simple. The combination of Meowth and Eevee is indeed quite eye-catching. The rare Pokémon that has no native population in the Hoenn region is eye-catching enough in itself, and Meowth's own appearance is also good enough.

There is also Ibrahimovic, a standard popular star, here, and it is easy to catch your eye at first sight.

Then, the next step is to decide on the theme of the stage...

"The theme this time is... Growth and Bonds!"

"Oh?"

The theme of the first performance was "Love", an extremely grand and classic theme that has been performed countless times. However, because the theme is so big, it was a bit arrogant for a newcomer to choose such a topic.

Fortunately, Lowe’s presentation was reliable at the time, and this time, Lowe’s theme was extremely kingly…

...Growth and bonds are eternal topics that all Pokémon trainers cannot ignore. In fact, one of the core purposes of Pokémon Duels and even the Grand Competition is to show the process of growing together and building deep bonds.

As for Pokémon battles and grand competitions, they are merely the process and means to witness the results of growth. The ultimate goal is to prove the bond between humans and Pokémon.

"Growth and bondage are such classic topics. So, how will they be presented?"

Come on, start your performance!

Lowe and his companions nodded, and the performance began...

The performance began, Lowe stepped to the rhythm, and Ibrahimovic beside him danced in sync. After counting one, two, three, they appeared on the stage from the right side.

On the other side, Masked Cat also walked onto the stage from the left side with steady steps.

"Ok?"

This way of appearing on stage together had already given the judges in the audience some clues.

Generally speaking, if they appear on the stage from different directions, then usually the one appearing from the right side of the stage is the "protagonist", and the one appearing from the left side of the stage is the "villain".

Of course, there is no fixed number for this. For the sake of stage effect, it doesn't matter if the protagonist appears from any direction. It's just some classic impressions left over from stage plays in ancient times.

It is precisely because of this that there is the classic law that "since ancient times, the left side of the wave loses"...

Because the one on the left is the villain, so naturally the villain loses in the end~

Judging from Lowe's actions on stage, he seemed to be trying to clearly distinguish between the "positive" and "negative" factions, which means...
