Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

Sure enough, the next second, Eevee and Catelynx exchanged seven or eight rounds quickly on the stage.

It's a "Pokémon Showdown"!

In the form of a stage performance, both sides danced to each other, exchanging offensive and defensive confrontations with seemingly large movements.

Theoretically speaking, a real Pokémon duel would never involve such large movements. During the entire battle, there were obvious parts of feeding and displaying moves, and the various skills were not aimed at damage, but were completely focused on "fighting beautifully"...

The judges are of course well aware of this. It's like the difference between a real street fight and a kung fu movie. The actions in a street fight can never have anything to do with the word "cool", and it's even more impossible for one person to beat ten people like in a kung fu movie.

The latter are naturally specially designed moves, many of which seem to be useless in actual combat, but are just designed to make the confrontation between the two sides more pleasing to the eye.

In short, it is the so-called artistic processing...

...Otherwise, if you hit the eyes, throat, and perineum right from the start, it would be really unsightly, and if you're not careful, something might happen.

So, in fact, although it seems that Kamen Meow and Eevee are fighting each other, in fact, both sides have hardly touched each other at all, and the fierce alternation of moves is just a stage effect.

But as we all know, stage effects are also very particular. Some fights are obviously fake, but they can be made to look very intense, while others give people the feeling of acting at first glance, with no tension or sense of design at all.

Furthermore, it takes extremely delicate control to make Pokémon's skills look scary but actually have no power.

It’s like it’s not difficult to cut a cucumber with a knife, but putting paper under the cucumber and cutting the cucumber without tearing the paper requires a certain level of knife skills.

The so-called being able to let go is not a real skill. Being able to let go and take back is the proof of the mastery of the technique!

Luo Wei was actually performing this kind of drama in front of all the judges...

However, the theme is about growth and bond, not Pokémon battles...

This made the judges a little confused. If Lowe's theme this time was the cool track and his performance was about the beauty of Pokémon's competition, then it was a pretty outstanding performance.

Although the performance is of the same standard and is not particularly outstanding in the same category, it is enough to get a passing score.

But the theme Lowe chose is growth and attachment, so what does his current performance have to do with this?

Soon, the situation on the field changed. As Meowth pressed forward step by step, Ibrahimovic fought and retreated, and soon he was left on the defensive.

But facing the Eevee who was slowly showing signs of weakness, Catman showed no mercy and continued to pursue it like a storm. Although he knew it was an act, the continuous swinging of his cat claws, the movements so fast that they could leave afterimages, and the power of each claw that could produce a sonic boom, gave people a suffocating pressure.

"..."

Although Masked Cat herself was clearly very dissatisfied with the villain setting before, but in the actual performance, she seemed to be quite into the role, with the aura of a bad female villain, and she was just short of holding a whip and doing the Queen's Three-Stage Smile.

Actually, Lowe had considered adding this segment design, but after thinking about it, we are on an all-ages set after all, and this kind of segment can be enjoyed privately. If it is shown in public, the bad impact on young people will be immeasurable!

In short, the Masked Cat suddenly changed his tactics, retracted one of his claws, turned around and kicked out with a side kick.

Ibrahimovic was unable to keep up with the action. The cat's claws disappeared in front of him, and the long legs in black stockings came with a gust of wind. Although he dodged the direct attack in the critical moment, he was still blown away by the strong wind.

Of course, this is also a stage effect. At least half of the time, Eevee was knocked away because he jumped out with all his strength. However, in the eyes of the audience, it was Catman who kicked Eevee away.

Lowe quickly stepped forward and hugged the flying Ibrahimovic tightly.

The Pokémon that you have carefully trained has lost so miserably. How should you react as a trainer?

Lowe stood up and resolutely protected Ibrahimovic behind him...

Chapter 127 Fairy Eevee makes a grand appearance~

Lowe stood up and protected Ibrahimovic behind him.

Of course, this action actually doesn't make any sense, because the power of Pokémon is too different from that of ordinary people, and if the trainer goes down directly, it will just be one more person lying down.

But even so, if such a situation really occurs, I believe that any trainer who loves Pokémon will rush forward.

...Knowing that you can't win a fight is an attitude problem, but knowing that you can't win and still fighting, that's an IQ problem.

Nowadays, you can be a person with a bad attitude, but you must not be brainless...

... Everything should be like this

But this world will never be short of people who know this but still act irrationally.

They may be fully aware of how stupid their behavior is, but at that moment, their bodies react anyway.

If you know you can't win, why do you still come here to die?

Because the most important partner is behind me, I can't take a step back here no matter what...

Even though I knew the outcome, I still had reasons not to give in...

Important treasures, beloved companions, beliefs based on faith, there are always some things in this world that can transcend the so-called "reason".

This is a spirit... although many people think it is a nerve...

If the theme of the performance is bondage and growth, then this can barely show a hint of bondage...

...But if that's all, then this performance is still just passing grade, barely relevant at best.

Then the next question is, can human belief reverse the inevitable failure?

This sounds a bit idealistic. In most cases, it is unlikely. Beliefs are really useless in many cases...

...However, when certain conditions are met, at a certain period in history, it is precisely because of this persistence in belief that the one-time miracle is called upon.

Just watch...

...The bond between humans and Pokémon, the miracle that is summoned!

Ibrahimovic, who was protected by Lowe, began to emit brilliant white light all over his body...

"what?"

At this moment, the audience and judges were stunned...

...They must be familiar with this light. Any Pokémon trainer should be very familiar with this scene.

This is the light of Pokémon evolution, but why is it here?

Because the accumulated experience just met the conditions, the on-site evolution was completed under the bonus of the idealism of the bond?

But isn't this a stage show?!

Indeed, by deliberately controlling the level, it is possible to control the timing of Pokémon evolution just right. Lowe's own Masked Meow and Gardevoir both consciously controlled the evolution progress.

However, being able to do it does not mean that the action is simple. On the contrary, this action is quite complicated.

Excluding the evolution of items such as the Evolution Stone, under normal circumstances, there are usually two ways to achieve it. Either spend a lot of time accumulating experience and consciously use items such as the Immutable Stone to suppress evolution, and then achieve it in one step by gaining experience when necessary.

This method is relatively simple, and Masked Cat does it this way, but this method requires a lot of time to accumulate experience. It took Lowe and Masked Cat six years.

The second method is to specifically calculate the required level and experience. After all, this is not a game. There is no experience bar on your forehead, and you can determine the specific experience and level at a glance.

To determine experience by estimation requires extremely rich knowledge of Pokémon and quite good calculation ability.

This is the way Gardevoir works. This is because Gardevoir can communicate telepathically. Lowe can get feedback on his physical condition through Gardevoir itself anytime and anywhere, and plan the timing of evolution according to the training progress.

Otherwise, it’s not that easy…

In Ibrahimovic's case, neither of the above two conditions apply...

...Because Lowe's Eevee does not evolve based on level experience, but rather "intimacy", which is even more mysterious than experience level.

Although experience points are invisible and intangible, at least the level is a fixed value. If you level up, you level up. At least you can accumulate it by leveling up, so it can be roughly estimated.

But how to quantify favorability? It is impossible to have a data bar for this thing, not to mention that favorability can theoretically go up and down.

At least experience and level can only go up and not down, but the favorability may be deducted if you make a mistake...

Under such circumstances, it is more difficult to complete the intimacy evolution than the experience value evolution. To control the experience value evolution, it requires very sophisticated calculations. If you want to control the intimacy evolution, you can only gamble on the tacit understanding between you and the Pokémon...

...absolutely a tacit understanding of mutual understanding!

Liliae and Manchong finally understood what Lowe meant by "it might be a good job, or it might fail."

He was actually going to integrate the evolution of favorability into the performance and make it a part of the performance?

Indeed, if this can be completed on the spot, it would be a very impressive job, but if it fails, it would be a huge embarrassment and the whole paragraph might even collapse.

Fortunately, Lowe did it...

...Then what comes next is the final key to this life.

In the light, the figure of the evolved Eevee emerged, and for a moment, everyone in the audience was very curious.

Eevee is the Pokémon with the most different types of evolution among all the current Pokémon, so it is indeed a matter of interest as to what it will evolve into in the end.

If the final evolution is the form evolved using the evolution stone, then this is not a good life. If it is said to have changed, it is just a secret evolution on the spot using the evolution stone.

But the judges in the audience knew that Lowe definitely did not use the evolution stone to evolve, but chose to evolve through intimacy. This indeed perfectly fits the theme of "growth and bondage".

More importantly, if the intimacy evolution was completed on the spot, it would mean that this was not just a simple stage performance. Ibrahimovic really had a very high level of intimacy with Lowe, which allowed him to complete the on-site evolution.

The so-called highest level of stage performance is to make the fake look real and make people forget that this is a story on the stage!

Reality and the stage are combined here. In the light, there is a pink and white body... The "fairy" with swaying ribbons all over her body rises with brisk steps~

"That...that's..."

The judges were stunned for a moment, but Lucia, who was also in the audience, was very honest and gave the immediate reaction that 80% of the audience had in their minds...

"That kid is so cute!!! What, is that the evolved form of Eevee? I've never seen one before!"

That’s right, just like the Fairy-type was only recently discovered and confirmed, there is indeed no Fairy-type Eevee evolution in this world line at present.

Fairy Eevee... makes a grand appearance~

Chapter 128: Looks like a ribbon, but is actually a tentacle~

An evolution that had never appeared in this world line before us presented a whole new possibility to everyone for the first time.

After mastering fairy-type skills, Eevee evolves through intimacy and favorability, and takes on a new look...

...This is the so-called Fairy Eevee!

Judging from its appearance, it can be regarded as one of the most powerful new Pokémon in recent years, and a strong proof of the so-called "beauty is justice"!

In other words, this stage performance incorporates unprecedented elements...

The on-site favorability evolves into a brand new Pokémon species that has never appeared before!
