Pinnacle of the Stars

Chapter 17 17. The Thief Who Stole the Stars

The level of the next debut has obviously improved.

When Pokémon releases moves, it also begins to have some visual effects from the combination of skills.

After all, under the words of the mayor, there are still those who are confident and dare to nod to go on stage, and they will definitely not be unprepared players.

Of course, there is no shortage of powerful guys among them, even trainers who have defeated multiple gyms are not uncommon. They often win the favor of many judges just by showing their strength.

Gradually, the number of votes of the contestants stabilized at the hundreds and gradually increased.

People who have never played before also began to regain confidence.

But Lu Qiu was not in a hurry.

He just watched, and the players around him stepped forward one by one after encouraging each other.

Then, get cheers.

he thinks.

Since Ami said that Huahua will hardly vote again after voting, rather than never voting a second time, it means that Huahua will admit that the performance of the latter is better than that of the former.

Under this premise, Lu Qiu suddenly had a great idea.

That is to press the stage and challenge yourself with Xiang Weimao when the votes are exhausted.

It doesn't matter even if you get a zero in the end.

In this way, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you will not leave regrets deep in your heart.

What they want is to impress all the judges with their abilities.

Listen to them: You guys are the best pairing.

With this idea, Lu Qiu received unlimited support from Xiangwei Miao.

Finally, when the last contestant stepped off the stage, everyone in the preparation area except Lu Qiu ended their performance.

At this time, almost all the flowers in the whole city have sent out their votes.

As long as the host announces the end, they will use the final dance to compete for the highest title in the celebration of Moon Flower.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Qiu slowly stood up holding Xiangwei Miao.

Seeing him approaching, the mayor, who thought it was over, put down the gesture to Yamei, turned his head to look directly at Lu Qiu seriously, shook his head but asked appreciatively, "Would you like to try it?"

Regarding this question, Lu Qiu nodded with a smile: "Of course, I can't wait for the next ten years."

Hearing this, the old gentleman laughed and said, "Don't say that, young man, you are always welcome here."

Smiling and shaking his head, Lu Qiu didn't answer.

He wasn't sure if his heart would still be beating at that moment.

Therefore, for wonderful things, he will try his best to hold them after he has seen them.

Stepping up the steps from behind the scenes, Lu Qiu walked towards the first decisive stage in his life, facing Yamei's puzzled and approving eyes.

'This will never be the end for me! '

"Meow!"

Nyan to the end cheered up like never before.

the next moment.

The black shadow slowly fell from mid-air.

The movement was gentle, and the toes landed firmly on the ground, but it abruptly interrupted Lu Qiu's next step.

"Excuse me, who is this?" On the stage, Yamei, who was about to give way to Lu Qiu, was also a little confused, "This... contestant?"

The man didn't answer.

A pitch-black cloak, with a mask covering most of his face, his whole body seemed to be hidden by the night.

"Is this a special program?"

"Like the opening ceremony?"

In the audience, the audience who saw this unexpected scene whispered.

They didn't even see where the man in black fell from.

Among all the people, only Miss Junsha, who was standing on the sidelines and responsible for maintaining regional order, showed a thoughtful look.

On the stage, the man in black put one hand on his chest, ignored Yamei who was standing beside him, first gave a graceful salute to the night sky, then turned around provocatively and hooked his fingers at Lu Qiu.

It means stand still.

Lu Qiu: "."

Raising one hand, the man in black waved his cloak, and saw a Pokémon with a sly look in his eyes, standing on both feet and walking out of the shadows.

"Is that meow?"

"Standing, it should be, but it looks weird."

People were discussing and guessing uncertainly.

But Lu Qiu suddenly realized after seeing that Pokémon.

'Pickpocket cat. '

Like Xiangwei, they are very family-friendly domestic Pokémon.

It's just that one of these relatives is real, and the other is pretending.

Not to mention being in the city, even if the large areas of Sinnoh Fengen are added, there is no wild Pokémon that is extremely rare even in the local area.

Therefore, it is not surprising that people around it misunderstand it.

Lu Qiu stopped.

Under the provocation, he wanted to see what kind of performance that guy would give him.

"Are you ready?" the man in black suddenly asked.

Lu Qiu and the pickpocket cat nodded together.

Then, the former was slapped back by Xiangwei Miao.

under the moonlight.

I saw the pickpocket cat gently raised its paw to the front, waved its hand and pressed it falsely, following its movement, a large piece of darkness spread from the back to the front, swallowing and covering all corners of the stage bit by bit.

Amidst the sound of surprise, it raised its hand and stretched out its claws towards the sky.

The man in black did not give any orders during the whole process.

"Meow."

The black shadow condensed into sharp claws, passed through the clouds under the eyes of people, followed, and secretly picked off the stars illuminated by the bright moon.

One, two, as the number of stars decreased sharply, people's sight was gradually blocked by darkness.

In a voice of unbelievable doubts, Lu Qiu subconsciously raised his eyes to look behind the man in black, the position that had been illuminated by the moonlight.

There, there is a second Pokémon that has not been discovered by people.

Elf: Zoroark

Ability: Illusion
个体值：HP（30＋1）物攻（31）特攻（27＋4）物防（29＋2）特防（31）速度（31）

Comments: It has an attitude of hatred towards human beings, its personality is extremely dangerous, and its tacit understanding with its trainers can be described as close. It is an extremely powerful Pokémon that breaks through its limit and grows twice because of its protective attitude towards the former.

Reminiscent of the fact that the beautiful flowers are also two teams, so Lu Qiu feels that the actions of the man in black are understandable.

It's just that the two Pokémon used are not in the regional illustrated book. Doesn't it seem a little too inappropriate?

I couldn't hold back a few words in my heart.

From Lu Qiu's point of view, every time the pickpocket cat releases its shadow claws, Zoroark will increase the casting speed of the shadows, and at the same time deceive people's sight, thus creating the effect of "stealing" stars.

Although he saw the principle, Lu Qiu couldn't resist Zoroark's deceit.

After all, the opponent is equivalent to covering the entire venue with shadows.

With the strength he felt from the other party, even if he added up all the Pokémon that had appeared on stage before, it might not be enough for the Zoroark in front of him to plug his teeth.

After all, this Pokémon really knows how to kill.

Under Ruoyou Ruowuwu's gaze, the man in black snapped his fingers in the direction of Lu Qiu, and then, even the moon in the sky disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the whole venue was plunged into complete darkness.

"what happened?"

"Is this part of the show too?"

"Don't step on my foot!"

Long-term darkness will bring panic and even fear to people.

And just when the scene was about to fall out of control, the judges used their strength to draw the attention of the crowd back to the stage.

For a time, all the people in the city could smell the almost overwhelming fragrance of flowers.

One thousand, two thousand, three thousand!
The numbers are still growing.

Lu Qiu doesn't know how many flowers there are in this city, but they all seem to be vying to tell the person on the stage their favorite attitude.

There was an uproar in the audience for a while.

"Do you understand?"

There is a warm breath on the invisible ear: "Sometimes people are more willing to pay attention to and care about strength than hard work. If you have this talent, why don't you find a way to let it grow?" Woolen cloth?"

"I don't want you to die."

"Catch him now!"

The electric light illuminated the night, and Miss Junsha led the police who arrived, and together they used a flashlight to shine a beam of light on the man in black beside Lu Qiu.

"Think about it, our goal is not evil to this world."

"Strange Thief Cat Eight, let's catch it!"

While speaking, Miss Junsha was one step ahead, jumped onto the shoulders of the crowd and rushed forward in the dark night, "Orb silk spider, use silk spinning!"

The man in black smiled disdainfully. He waved his cloak and disappeared from everyone's sight.

At the same time, countless gold coins fell from the sky, bringing back the stars all over the sky to this world.

"Jubao Gong"

Lu Qiu looked at the moves in the sky that brought the performance to an end, and muttered to himself: "Xiang Wei, if you can learn this skill, I will make you whatever you want every day."

The ears moved, and the latter turned his head aside rather arrogantly.

"Are you alright?" Seeing that the man in black disappeared, Miss Junsha did not chase after him immediately, but rushed to Lu Qiu and asked, "Are you injured anywhere?"

Seeing the anxious look on the other party's face, Lu Qiu subconsciously shook his head.

"Attention everyone, we are going to arrest the Phantom Thief Cat Eight. The characteristic is that he is carrying a meow who can use the Treasure Gathering Technique." After confirming Guo Luqiu's situation, Junsha took out the walkie-talkie and turned to look at the fluorescent gold coins falling on the ground. Said: "Block the northern city, and quickly send more people to the southern exit. At the same time, pay attention to the roof, and be careful that the opponent escapes from the sky like before."

The thief who had been wandering around the city for a long time finally showed up today, and Junsha didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to arrest him.

It's just that Lu Qiu felt that if the arrest warrant was really issued based on Miaomiao's appearance, he might never be able to catch that person.

after all
You guys have totally misunderstood Pokémon!

"Miss Junsha, it's not good!"

Just when Lu Qiu doubted her life, Jun Sha suddenly heard an anxious cry from the walkie-talkie that she was just about to put down:
"Bei, Beicheng is on fire!"
