Pokémon Master is me, Bell

The night breeze in Lianli Town was like water, and the ice was cold and wrapped around my skin.

"As expected, I'd better ask everyone for their opinions." I leaned up and rubbed the long-tailed fox's flesh pad, and kissed its dazed little cheek. "You won't make any progress even if you think about it yourself."

Before Aier ended the interview, I immediately grabbed several audience members of different ages and genders near the venue and asked them about their senses.

Surprisingly, everyone gave very similar answers.

"The effect of your performance is also great. It's very gorgeous and romantic, but I don't know why you voted for the girl in the green skirt. It's really strange."

"There's nothing wrong with my sister! But when I watch sister Ai'er perform, I feel that she really enjoys it, is very involved, and cares about the stage!"

"Are you too nervous? I also felt nervous when I watched you perform, but when I watched Aier perform, I was infected by her happy mood and had to vote for her."

Being happy, relaxed, and truly engaged on stage...is this what I need?

But how to do it?Is it because I'm not skilled enough?That’s why I’m so nervous on stage.

"Sorry, are you waiting for me Bell?"

A clear and sweet female voice came from not far away. It turned out that Ai'er had escaped from the spotlight.She hugged the furry fire fox tightly, shivering a little from the cold, and said with a smile: "Girls are so pitiful. They dance by the waterfall at night and still wear such thin clothes."

I nodded: "I'll have to wear more clothes next time, so that I can feel the essence of autumn at night."

"Great." Ai'er's eyes widened: "Has Bell already been thinking about his appearance for the next competition? He's very motivated."

I immediately waved my hands dumbfounded: "To be honest, I'm confused and can't find my direction at all."

"Why don't you go sit down at the Pokémon Center? If you have any questions, you can tell me."

she invited.

"Great, I'll treat you to coffee." I held her hand with one hand and started trotting with the long-tailed fox. "But we have to go to Tatara first! Miss Goethe and the others are also together."

Although Ai'er is wearing low-heeled shoes, her running movements are very crisp: "It's too late for coffee, right? I'll treat Belle to hot cocoa!"

After the Pokémon did their routine recovery and check-ups, we sat down in the center’s restaurant and ordered dinner.

"Actually, I asked the unfamiliar audience after the game..."

I explain everyone's feedback to Aier. "It feels like everyone is talking about it. What is it that seems to enjoy the stage more?"

Ai'er took a sip of hot cocoa, with a bit of chocolate on her lips, and suggested: "Instead of asking me, why don't you watch the video first. Didn't Tatara film the whole process of the game? Maybe after watching it There will be a different feeling.”

Jusu Tatara took out his camera, pulled out the video he had just recorded and placed it in the center of the table.

Our three heads came together.

I took a tissue and wiped the corners of Aier's lips: "Don't move."

"Oh, thank you." She blinked a little sheepishly.

There is no music in the playback of the camera, which magnifies the girl's originally unsmooth movements in the picture infinitely. Her hesitation when holding hands with the long-tailed fox is more like unfamiliarity with the stage and timidity than shyness.

After that, the cooperation with the long-tailed fox fire was very smooth, and everyone became more confident.

But as the lady wearing sunglasses said, the dance movements and the command of the Pokémon are separated, just like the left and right hands playing together when playing the piano. It is very abrupt. Fortunately, the water mist blocked part of the audience's view, making it appear that Not that funny.

"Ai'er, do you know what the beauty contest is?"

"I know." Ai'er recalled for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, the Gorgeous Contest is a competition in the Fengyuan area to compare the charm of Pokmon. The general method is that the trainer commands the Pokmon to make gorgeous moves and Show yourself through the results. Compared with the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament, the Gorgeous Contest pays more attention to the Pokémon itself."

As expected, I hold my forehead.Really completely ridiculed.

Doesn’t that mean I wasn’t involved in the performance at all?As a result, another sentence came out: "I know too well that I am performing."

"What's wrong?"

I shook my head: "It's nothing, I was just told that by a lady. She also said that I was "too aware that I was performing", although I probably understood what she meant..."

Most Method actors have plans in mind when acting, and when to use what techniques.

For me, to participate in a completely unfamiliar competition, I must be fully prepared and meticulous enough to plan every move in advance to feel at ease.

"Looking at it from my perspective." Ai'er took a precaution: "When I watched the performance just now, I felt that this girl has many wonderful designs and is so amazing. But this sigh may be too rational. On the contrary, it became proof that you failed to bring the audience into the performance. It was like you were out of your body. There was an extremely calm you watching the entire performance, beating the rhythm of your body, and calculating every step you should take. What. It’s too tight, and the audience will feel it too.”

"Then what should I do?" I asked humbly.

Aier laughed: "Smile more!" She reached out and rubbed my face: "Bell is too serious on stage!"

"Smile more?"

"Yes, treat the audience as your good friends and show them your beautiful smile." She drew an arc at the corner of her mouth with her finger: "Be happy, enjoy the stage without any distractions, and the audience will be infected by you. ."

She handed the fire fox a branch, and then handed the long-tailed fire fox a piece.

"One more thing, does Bell often shoot Pokémon commercial shorts?"

I shook my head: "I just often help others take pictures."

"No wonder." Aier suddenly understood, and she said with a subtle expression: "That's why Bell's performance is more like a TV performance than a stage performance."

"How do you say that?" I widened my eyes.

"Tatara has seen it too, what do you think?" Ai'er asked the question to the flaxen-haired young man who was eating a sandwich.

He thought about it and said: "It's true, because the auditorium is a bit far away from the stage. If Bell's design is not known in advance, it would be difficult to directly understand the story of the performance just by watching. Although there is a big screen, the camera There won't be any close-ups of the performers' faces, and there's no way to move the camera according to the story designed by Bell... Thinking about it this way, the advantages of designing the story are not fully utilized."

"Bingo."

"It's not that I failed to perform well." I sighed: "This is directly a disadvantage."

"But the scene of the flame swirling around the body and burning the flowers is still very beautiful!" Ai'er encouraged.

"Thank you for your comfort." I said wistfully.

Aier held her chin with her palm and said: "Bell is a trainer turned performer, so he is a little acclimated. Don't be discouraged. And being promoted from the first game is already very impressive. So is a performer like me who is working hard to achieve the goal of Queen Carlos." It was only the second time I participated that I got the princess key. Bell will definitely do it next time!”

"When is the next time?" I raised my head.

"If you are in a hurry, the next rookie competition is at the end of October, and it will be in Baike City."

"Isn't that super close?" I quickly took out the electronic map: "The next gym is also in Baike City, and it is a super power system. It seems that it is impossible not to go to Baike City."

"In that case, do you want to go together?" Aier pushed the last cookie to my hand: "We can give each other some suggestions during practice."

"Really?" I was surprised and happy: "That's great, I've always wanted a girl friend I can chat with on the road~" I held her hand.

"I'm disgusted." Tatara said deliberately.

I put on a "spare me" face.

*

Tatara left that night.He left a lot of very good images, and I plan to go to Baike City to find an editor to make them into Pokémon commercials.

The next day, Aier and I went to the Pokémon Center to send the clothes back to Miare City. Just as we were about to leave, we heard Miss Joy's sinister voice from behind: "Miss Bell——"

"Yes!" I immediately turned around.

She sweated profusely: "Do you still remember the letter sent by your father? You completely forgot about the last time you said you would come back after dinner to get the results, didn't you?"

Oops, that seems to be the case.

At that time, I completely forgot about it because Slippery fell into the water and was chased by a wild bass!

"I'm really sorry!" I bowed: "Can you give it to me now?"

"Of course." Miss Joy took out a letter from her back and handed it to me. "But Bell's father is really retro. He is still writing letters in this day and age."

Haha, I actually used the word "retro".

"Because he is an archaeologist." I took the letter with both hands and was patted by Aier beside me.

Okay, I admit it's a bit cold.

[From my dear and lovely Bell:

Hello, Bell, it must have been autumn when you received this letter.Autumn in Carlos is always beautiful, dry, crisp and festive.I hope that if you are traveling alone for the first time, you will not ignore the scenery during the journey because you are in a hurry to challenge the gym.

Unlike the Galar region, where the weather is always cloudy and sunny, it seems to rain as long as I stay here. Umbrellas are a daily necessity. The sun finally came out before and it became too scorching due to the temperate maritime climate. The air conditioner actually It’s not very popular, and it’s hard to imagine that it’s an area famous for its industry!

After visiting so many places, Zhonghe is still the best in terms of advancement.

Haha, I complained a lot unconsciously, but the Galar region also has good places, such as Galar-like Pokémon.I think you will definitely like the flaming horse that looks like Galar. Almost no child can refuse it. The purple-pink slightly curly mane is draped on the snow-white body. It looks like it has walked out of the Galar fantasy wonderland. It seems that the next second I will put on my wings and fly to the sky.

Come and take a look next time if you have time, maybe you can catch some great Pokémon.

In fact, I want to apologize to you because I was busy with work and could not accompany you more. It is really unqualified as a father.Not only did I not attend the graduation ceremony this year, but I also failed to witness the sacred moment when you brought your starter Pokémon home. I will always regret it.

But I promise you, I will definitely rush back to Kalos to watch your heroic performance in the Pokémon Contest.

Let's hook up~

Mr. Bell's migrant worker Chun Shang Wen Yanzhi. 】

I chuckled and whispered: "Pull the hook, Dad."

I raised my head and looked at Ai'er who looked curious, and asked, "Has Ai'er seen a flaming horse that looks like Galar?"

Ai'er was confused: "Flame Horse? What kind of Pokémon is that?"

Oh, I forgot, there aren't even flaming horses in the Kalos area.

"A photo fell out!" Ai'er hurriedly caught it, picked it up and looked at it, her eyes suddenly lit up as if stars were shining, and she said excitedly: "Is this the flaming horse you are talking about?"

I went over to take a look, and I was a little crazy. "So beautiful, I really want to moan."

"I want it too!" She carefully returned the photo to me. "I declare this to be the Pokémon I want most after Fairy Eevee!"

I laughed. "Sure enough, the people of Carlos can't escape Fairy Ibrahimovic's law!"

Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, the No. 1 Pokémon in the Kalos region is Eevee, and the No. 2 Pokémon is Gardevoir.

Since Ms. Vanessa's Eevee evolved into Fairy Eevee three years ago, I have been able to get up close and personal with Fairy Eevee every day, curing the Fairy Eevee hunger and thirst common among Kalos people.

Coupled with the influence of the famous actress Karuni, the No. 1 Pokémon I wanted was Gardevoir.

It's a pity that I didn't meet Larulas when I passed Route [-].

I sigh.

Miss Goethe thought I was sighing for the flame horse. She glanced at the photo and flicked her ponytails disdainfully. She looked like "this lady is the most beautiful" and made me pounce on her and call her cute.

As soon as the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament ended, Aier and I didn't have any need to stay in Lianli Town. After doing some shopping in the store, we simply set foot on Route No. 18 - the canyon road.

There is a river on the canyon road that runs through the entire area. As long as you keep walking upstream along the river, you don't have to worry about getting lost.

"Dad and the doctor are right, this travel speed seems not bad."

I stretched and explained: "Because I usually wear roller skates when I'm on the road, and my speed is very fast. I stop to either compete with the trainers on the roadside, or to do targeted training. If I think about it carefully, I lose a lot of fun. .”

"It's not Bell's fault. Bell doesn't have a regular travel partner." Aier said, "I don't waste too much time on the road. Because the venues for the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament are relatively scattered, I spend most of my time directly. Take light rail or train to reach different cities.”

"That's right." I nodded: "Because you don't need combat training."

"Yes, and I value the cooperation with Pokmon, so I will spend a lot of time with a Pokmon." Ai'er teased the fire fox and said: "Performance doesn't matter attributes, naturally you don't need to be there all the time. Battle Pokémon in the wild.”

I agree with her idea.

"The bond between Pokémon and trainers is very important. The stamp collecting behavior of catching one by one for the sake of seeing the entire illustrated book and throwing them all into the doctor's laboratory is really irresponsible to Pokémon."

Ms. Goethe, who was standing next to me, nodded after hearing this.It obviously also supports this statement. After all, Mr. Simon only had one Pokémon in the end.

Ai'er nodded wildly: "I think so too. Pokémon are just like children, they need company. If you can't take good care of them, they will be happier if they are free in the wild."

I raised a smile: "Yeah."

Aier sighed: "It would be great if I could laugh like this on stage."

"I'll try my best." I said seriously, clenching my fists.

At noon, we spread out a picnic cloth by the river and started the trainer's picnic routine in a serious manner.

After the water-type Pokémon Tejas greeted me, it immediately jumped into the river and disappeared.

The Long-tailed Firefox is at a beautiful age and has participated in the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament. When he introduces himself, he wants to say - Long-tailed Firefox (already debuted). Naturally, he cares more about his neat appearance than before.

Everyone else was washing their hands by the river, but it used the river surface as a mirror and began to comb the hair on its tail.

The blue sheepbird is almost the opposite.Although she is a girl, she has no awareness of this aspect at all. She only thinks about eating and does not go anywhere. She obediently guards her small bowl and waits for the meal.

The well-behaved child has food to eat. I first poured the green sheep bird's portion of Pokémon food into its bowl.

It chirped and ate happily.

As for Slippery Boy, he was quietly approaching the long-tailed firefox that was combing its tail by the river...

"Is it trying to play a prank?" Aier asked in a low voice.

"Ignore it." I laid out her lunch for Miss Goethe without looking.

I heard a long-tailed fire fox shouting in surprise and anger from the lakeside: "Fox!" and the sound of flames spraying.

"Hua Hua~" But instead of not knowing his fault, Hua Hua became provocative.

"Doesn't it matter?"

I waved my hand: "Don't worry about some small things that happen every day."

Aier said hesitantly: "If this continues... will the flower garden be burned down?"

I suddenly raised my head and realized that the long-tailed fire fox was no longer using flames, but flame jets to fight with Slippery Boy. The power was incomparable, leaving behind gradually spreading flames wherever it passed.

"Iron-armed gun shrimp!" I shouted. "Water Wave!"

The Iron Arm Spear Shrimp is as reliable as ever.As if it was ready at any time, it immediately jumped up from the river, lifted the huge ball of water energy with its pliers, and slapped it on the burning bank, extinguishing the flames, and white smoke filled the air for a moment.

After the white smoke dissipated, in addition to the two guilty Pokémon, there was also a group of iron ants emerging from the flower bed.

"They look very angry..." Aier whispered.

"I see it."

what can we do about it--?

A. Compensate these iron ants. After all, it was your Pokémon that caused trouble.

B. Let the long-tailed firefox and the slippery boy solve their own problems. If you are hungry, go and eat.

C. The opponent is coming fiercely, so let’s start a Pokémon battle to protect Aier who is not strong in combat.
