Pinnacle of the Stars

Chapter 13 13. The Leaping Dance of the Beautiful Flower
When Lu Qiu found the stage set up in the center of the city, he found that it was already surrounded by spectators who had arrived early.

The staff walked around holding small flags. While guiding the staff, they were also paying attention to whether there was any unexpected situation in the venue.

When Lu Qiu carefully squeezed into the front row, he could just see a girl wearing a big red flower on her chest, greeting everyone in the audience with an embarrassing face.

"Let's congratulate Yamei for winning this year's Jihua City Girls Beauty Pageant!"

"Applause! Applause!"

On the stage, a well-dressed old gentleman clenched his fists and cheered excitedly.

Lu Qiu, who didn't know why, clapped his hands as if to applaud the helpless or unbearable expressions of the staff next to him.

"Ring bell bell."

As an atmosphere setter, when Xiang Weimei heard someone say that he needed to applaud, he subconsciously regained his energy.

It jumped from Lu Qiu's left shoulder to his right shoulder, and at the same time flicked its tail with bells towards the night sky.

Very cheerful.

In the silence of the audience, the old gentleman cast approving and grateful eyes on Lu Qiu's most enthusiastic applause.

And Lu Qiu, who realized it later, was forced by the eyes of the girl named Yamei on the stage, breathed heavily and gradually stopped his hand movements.

He found that the one receiving the award was not the Pokémon he thought, but a girl with a rather seductive temperament.

He also happened to face each other twice.

It was none other than the staff member in the Pokémon Center who had registered Lu Qiu.

'Ah ah ah ah!How can I do such a thing! '

Holding the championship trophy in her hand, Yamei raised her hand to show herself to the audience with a forced smile.

"You must help this old man, Yami, those guys actually rejected all the cute girls who signed up for the competition!"

I was called to say that the main venue of the celebration was short of manpower, but after rushing here, I was stuffed into the dressing room and put on a dance skirt for unknown reasons, and half-agree and half-agree to the mayor's crying pleas Forced to go on stage and danced a half-baked beautiful flower dance.

During the period, I also stepped on my dancing shoes a little bit.

Ami felt that there seemed to be nothing that could embarrass herself more than right now.

Until the old bastard said that the only participant in this competition was herself, so she won directly.

A strong desire to kill suddenly rose in the heart of the girl who was forced to work.

With the trophy and the mayor's secret apology, Ami waved off the stage with a 'happy face'.

Lu Qiu felt that he must have missed something good.

At least he didn't see the fierce duel that belonged to the girls.

Suddenly, there was a scent of flowers floating in front of my nose.

'Soft with a hint of shyness. '

Such an evaluation suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Lu Qiu."

After changing into her own clothes in the background, Ami, who was wearing the uniform of the Pokémon Center, raised her hand and patted Lu Qiu's shoulder from behind.

There is scrutiny and a little complaint in the eyes:
"Thank you for the applause just now."

The girl bit this sentence to death, especially the opening syllable of the word thank you, which made people feel full of fighting desire.

"You're welcome, I'm sorry I'm late, I didn't see your show before." Lu Qiu sincerely apologized.

Yamei took a deep breath: "Ha, then I might as well give this to you as a souvenir."

After saying that, she slammed the thing in her hand on the latter's chest heavily.

Hurriedly taking it, Lu Qiu couldn't help but look down at the thing that the other party forced for him.

The stone statue in the shape of a stinky flower is coated with a layer of gold film, about the size of Lu Qiu's two palms, and the workmanship is very fine.

It was the championship trophy that Ami took over from the mayor just now.

Looking carefully, there is a row of small characters engraved on the bottom pedestal:
'I would like to commemorate the successful holding of the first girl beauty pageant in Jihua City - Jihai. '

"This"

Feeling the weight of the trophy, Lu Qiu couldn't help looking at Yamei who turned her head and ignored her in doubt.

"Don't ask, it's your bad luck."

It looked like her attitude couldn't be denied.

".thanks."

'What a strange fellow. '

Originally, there was a sense of wanting to find someone to complain and complain, but when Yamei and Lu Qiu's light silver eyes met, the shame and anger in their hearts calmed down in the blink of an eye.

There seems to be a magic in this boy, just like in the photo from the league registration yesterday.

Calm, gentle.

Can't help but want to see more.

'Why didn't he take off the scarf? '

After giving the statue in her hand to Lu Qiu, Yamei was not in a hurry to leave, but stood beside him like this, looking up at the moon gradually sliding across the sky.

"It's about to begin," she said.

"what?"

Lu Qiu followed her gaze in doubt.

I saw the round disc in the sky exuding bright moonlight, slowly docking in the middle of the top of the city.

Vaguely, Lu Qiu also saw a flash of light under the night sky.

Then it shattered silently.

'The power of the moon? '

Out of curiosity, he called out this skill move in his heart.

However, the release seems to have changed from the conventional form. It exploded and scattered the light bullets in the air, causing them to slowly hang down, forming a dreamlike visual effect.

Combined with the night sky at this moment, even Lu Qiu couldn't help feeling:

'Is it still possible to use it like this? '

"Look there." Yamei patted Lu Qiu's shoulder and nodded to him.

I saw that the center of the stage where the girl was standing just now was suddenly covered with petals.

The falling light spots in the sky met the rising petals and refloated. The woman with soft movements and graceful posture, with her long hair tied up, used the sound of the flute to attract everyone's attention to herself.

"Beautiful flower, I leave it to you!"

With her cry, two Pokémon that looked like they were wearing long skirts twirled and jumped onto the stage.

They stopped precisely on the midline where their trainers were, and after freezing for two or three seconds, they suddenly rubbed out petals from the hands folded in front of them, and finally turned their bodies and threw them forcefully into the night sky.

'The petal dance combines the power of moonlight, and it matches the open-air stage right now, as if the venue at this moment is tailor-made for them. Lu Qiu, who had never seen this kind of performance before, admired it sincerely in his heart.

As expected of a gorgeous performance that can impress even Lia's character.

Heart jumped.

Turning his head to look, he saw Xiangwei opened his eyes, longingly looking at the beautiful flowers on the stage.

"Lu Qiu, this person is your opponent." Yamei sighed, "As a specially invited performer for the opening ceremony, Meilihua is also on the list of participants this time, but anyone who sees such a scene will be surprised. It’s hard to think about competing with the other side.”

Lu Qiu nodded.

While watching, he didn't forget to evaluate Meihua, knowing that Meihua is not just a gorgeous move.

Without strength support, they can't change the shape of their skills, so even if the training direction is not focused on combat, these two beautiful flowers are definitely not something new trainers can challenge.

Based on Pokémon's own evaluation alone, Akira's ten little Ladas will not be Meihua's opponents together.

"Ah!"

Ming Shu, who was sleeping on the tree, sneezed, tightened the quilt subconsciously, muttered a few words in his mouth, patted Tie Kekun beside him, and ran back to the dreamland he couldn't bear to forget.

There, Little Rada defeated Xiangwei Meow.

After a short thought, Meilihua has already started the final dance.

I saw them throwing petals together from both ends of the stage to the midpoint of the sky, then accelerated their steps, and jumped up lightly at a distance in front of them.

Lu Qiu's eyes followed the dancing towards them.

"Paralyzing powder?"

The two beautiful flowers jumped forward in the air, and under the overlapped figures, they just connected with the full moon in the sky. The floating golden powder drew the final end of this dance. Stacked behind him, together with his own trainer, he gracefully gave the closing greetings to everyone in the audience.

Clap your hands involuntarily.

Followed by thunderous applause.

While admiring, Yamei clapped her hands with a helpless face, "So, I didn't want to hear your applause just now."

Because this is the stage for Pokémon.

For this tacitly coordinated dance, God knows how long the beautiful flowers practiced in private.

Lu Qiu, who clearly realized this, wanted to apologize.

But before that, he was blocked from what he wanted to say by the suddenly strong scent of flowers.

"This is."

"Hush, feel it with your heart." Yamei looked at Lu Qiu with starlight in her eyes: "This is a miracle of the Jihua City celebration."
