Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

The village's grand competition officially kicked off after a short registration period.

The reason the registration period was so short was that the local organizers didn't expect the promotional posters to actually work. They only distributed the posters two hours before the competition, and in such a short time, no one should have come to such a remote place to participate in the Grand Prix.

Unexpectedly, in addition to some familiar locals who are interested in the glamour contest, this year's event actually attracted a few tourists from outside the area.

Moreover, they all looked quite professional. Two of them even had their own custom-made suits, and the other looked very experienced. They were definitely not ordinary people.

.......

"Thank you all for participating in the local Pokémon Contest on Harvest Day! In addition to the official ribbon medal, the winner will also receive a year's supply of local specialty bananas provided by the local government!"

The local glamour contest lacked a professional host, and even the usual judges were reduced to just Miss Joey, demonstrating just how low the contest's popularity was in this small village.

Despite this, the contestants all seemed eager and ready to try, but—

The performer got dizzy from spinning around during the show.

Paras used hypnotic powder to hypnotize his own trainers.

Yunjira, who blew up the venue with his superpower performance.

......

Even Pachlitz, who tried to end his performance with an electric shock, ended up shocking the entire audience and judges.

"Don't be discouraged!" Ash patted Dawn on the shoulder as she walked off the field looking dejected. "This at least shows that you still have a lot of room for improvement!"

"Damn it... my teamwork with Patchlitz is still too poor!"

After being "mocking" by Ash in such a comforting tone, Dawn clenched her fists in resentment. It was clear that she was also very dissatisfied with her performance. If this performance were in a regular grand contest, Dawn would never have been able to advance. But in this small village... it was a complete victory, since Dawn had at least successfully completed her performance, unlike the others.

Just as Ash was comforting her, Nurse Joy called out, "The last contestant is Ash from Pallet Town!"

Looking around, it can be seen that Sweetie Jessie Lina's performance has come to an end. Although Ash didn't see her performance, judging from the cheers of the audience, her performance was probably the best so far.

"It's really not simple... This kind of performance art requires a lot of courage."

"That's exactly what I was saying..."

It seems that not only the audience was captivated by Sweet Musashi Rina's performance, but even Xiaogang and Xiaoguang were starting to admire her.

However, none of this mattered to Ash; all he was thinking about was his performance later.

"Then, let's go..."

He calmly held the Poké Ball of Aipom and walked onto the field without any tension or burden.

The Poké Ball was encased in a Capsule Ball, and the stickers on it were chosen by Aipom himself.

Although none of the performers today used Capsule Balls except for Sweetie, Jessie, Lina, and Dawn, Ash could theoretically do without them. However, this was Aipom's first time participating in a Contest, and even though it ultimately chose to stay by his side, the proper ceremony was still necessary. He should do his best to keep his promise to his companions.

Standing on the field, Ash smiled and then tossed the Poké Ball into the air.

As a shower of flowers fell, Aipom stepped onto the stage with great enthusiasm.

"High-speed star!"

Without any rehearsal or communication, Ash's thoughts at this moment seemed to be exactly the same as Aipom's thoughts.

Before the curtain of the flower sea had even fallen, Aipom's tail flicked nimbly, and countless golden stars burst forth from the blue floral expanse. The golden and blue light intertwined, creating a dreamlike spectacle. But the next second, with the continuous output of high-speed stars, this color balance was shattered, and countless stars joined together, forming a long golden bridge in mid-air.

"Shadow clone! Stand on it!"

Before the audience could react, Xiao Zhi gave the order.

Aipom's body trembled slightly, and several figures appeared around it. The six Aipoms ran hand in hand on the bridge made of Swift Star, while the original Aipom continued to output Swift Star to prevent the bridge that had been built with great effort from disappearing.

However, once the two Aipoms were in place, it was time to end it.

"Now's the time! Unleash a concentrated barrage!"

Having already made thorough preparations, Aipom didn't even need Ash's instructions. After completing the first step of preparation, it already guessed what Ash was planning to do.

Therefore, in sync with Ash's words, a white glow had already gathered at the tail of Aipom.

"Go!"

"OKI!"

Using all his strength, he concentrated his attack and unleashed it the instant the high-speed star stopped.

boom--

click -

The concentrated attack collided with the sky bridge formed by the high-speed stars. After a shattering sound, the sky bridge turned into countless golden starlight that scattered in the air and drifted with the wind towards the audience seats.

The performance by Aipom and Ash together can be considered the best performance of the day so far, but this is not the end.

The Shadow Clone technique used by Aipom has not yet been put to use.

"Keep the concentrated barrage!"

"OKI!"

The long-tailed monster, which had just shattered the sky bridge, had no time to rest. Suddenly, it leaped out of its spot and rushed towards the location of its clones that had not yet landed.

Before each clone lands, Aipom precisely controls it to perform the same movements as itself. In this cycle, it looks as if Aipom is punching its clones. Each time it touches a figure, a pure white smoke appears between the golden particles.

The fusion of the new colors brought the atmosphere to a climax.
