Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Everyone present who heard Ryukia's words stared wide-eyed at Lu An, as if they wanted to dissect him from the inside out.

Look at this guy who looks so young, what makes him so capable that he even knows Mikey!

Because of Ryukia's words, the crowd, which had calmed down, began to show signs of stirring again.

Seeing this, Lu An scratched his head and laughed, "This doesn't seem like a good time to chat. How about we go inside first and talk about it later?"

Ryukia looked around and realized that it was not the right time to talk, so she said to Lu An, "Wait a moment."

Ryukia first sincerely apologized for the trouble the riot had caused her fans, and instructed her two bodyguards to stay behind to handle the aftermath. Only then did she lead Lu An into the Grand Contest venue.

Upon entering the venue, Lu An learned that Ryukia had come to Lilycove City as a special guest to perform at the Grand Contest.

Lu An couldn't help but exclaim twice, "Rukia can now attend the Grand Contest, a master-level event, as a special guest. That's really impressive."

Rukia covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's just the organizers trying to please my uncle."

Lu An shook his head:

"If the Grand Contest were of a lower level, that would be one thing, but this is a master-level competition. Even if your uncle is partly to blame, your own skill level is definitely up to par."

Although Ryukia didn't say much, her slightly upturned lips and increasingly graceful gait indicated that she was clearly swayed by Lu An's charm.

Since there was a special guest, Ryukia, Lu An naturally wouldn't take the three little ones to the regular seats anymore. Instead, he followed Ryukia to her private room.

“Buyi”.

Espeon stood by the glass of the private room and looked down, getting a clear view of the Grand Contest stage.

Rukia said, "I need to prepare for the final performance later. You can enjoy the Grand Contest from this box."

Lu An nodded: "Thank you, Ryukia. You must let me enjoy your grand finale."

Rukia blinked: "Hehe, of course! My performance will definitely be the best, and there will be a surprise waiting for you!"

"A surprise? What surprise?"

In response to Lu An's question, Ryukia simply wagged her finger:

"Surprise, translated, means secret. Since it's a secret, I can't tell you so soon."

Lu An was at his wit's end with the quirky and mischievous Rukia, so he simply lay down on the large sofa in the private room:

"In that case, I'll wait and see what surprises you have in store."

"Hee hee hee."

......

Not long after Rukia left, the Grand Contest began, which was divided into the Beautiful Group, Handsome Group, Smart Group, Strong Group, and Cute Group.

The purpose of the Pokémon Contest is to allow all Pokémon to find their own unique characteristics among the five types.

It must be admitted that Pokémon that can participate in the Master level of the Contest are all top-notch.

Examples include Medicham, who won in the Smart category; Mighty Chicken, who won in the Cool category; and the incredibly cute Ralts.

And Marill, who amazingly defeated Makushita, Kodora, and Camel in the Strong Group with her Hercules ability, winning the championship.

They may not be the best at battling, and they may each have their own weaknesses, but they have all shown amazing charm in their respective groups.

All the spectators cheered and waved flags for their wonderful performance.

Inside Rukia's private room, Espeon's red beads on its forehead glowed with excitement, and Volcarona's wings fluttered, causing a lot of phosphorus powder to fall involuntarily.

Even Umbreon, which always has its crimson eyes narrowed and looks like it can do whatever it wants, is watching the performance on stage with its eyes glued to the screen.

These Pokémon all left a deep impression on Lu An, but if he had to say which Pokémon on the field he liked the most, it would definitely be Milotic from the Beautiful Group.

When the Milotic stretched its neck, its shimmering scales reflecting the light, and sang beautiful music that captivated the entire audience, everyone knew it would be the ultimate champion of the Beauty category.

Watching Milotic exude its unique charm on the field, Lu An couldn't help but think of Ruby, the protagonist of the Hoenn manga.

As the most overpowered character in Hoenn, Ruby not only has maxed-out combat power and carries Celebi, which Plum has dreamed of for decades, but also possesses a rare and beautiful Milotic.

Speaking of Ruby's father, Senri, who has already become the Petalburg Gym Leader, shouldn't Ruby move to the Hoenn region by now?

I just don't know how old he is now?

Did he run away from home like in the original story, meet Safia, and make an eighty-day promise with her?

How many Grand Contest Medals has he collected now?

Did he encounter Milotic, the Pokémon he had been searching for?

In the Pokémon world, everything is the will of Arceus, the creator god. If it is destined, then no one can stop the encounter between humans and Pokémon.

Lu An turned his gaze to the three Pokémon that were intently watching the Pokémon Contest, and suddenly thought:

"Should I sign up for the Grand Contest sometime? It seems like the others are quite interested."

Just as Lu An was pondering this, all the performances of the grand competition ended, and then the lights went out.

Lu An knew that it meant Ryukia was about to make her appearance.

As a burst of rousing music began, Rukia and Altaria appeared out of thin air on the stage.

At this moment, Rukia was already dressed in her stunning performance outfit, which perfectly complemented her blue and white Tanabata bird costume.

"Sparkling~ Spinning around~"

"A Dreamlike Miracle? Rukia's Special Performance?"

As expected of the super idol of the Hoenn region, Rukia received a warm welcome from the audience as soon as she appeared.

"Little Qingqing, white mist!"

"Ye Lu!"

At Rukia's command, the white-feathered Tanabata began to spin, and soon a cloud of white mist filled the stage.

"Little Qingqing, a meteor shower!"

"Ye Lu!"

In the white mist, a cluster of purple, crystalline energy flew into the air and then scattered like fireworks, forming a beautiful display of light.

"Oh oh oh!"

"Ruki Ryuki!"

The venue was immediately filled with enthusiastic cheers.

Lu An couldn't help but smile and shake his head:

"To develop the powerful Meteor Shower into a gorgeous move, it has to be said that Rukia and her uncle Michael are truly of the same ilk."

However, regardless of the circumstances, the atmosphere at the event was indeed brought to a climax by Rukia's performance, leaving a lasting impression even after the show ended.

Lu An led the three little ones backstage and waited for Ryukia to come out.

"Lu An!"

Rukia waved her delicate hand, running along happily, and asked with a smile, "How was my performance?"

"It's fantastic, absolutely stunning."

Just as Lu An was showering Ryukia with praise and watching her run toward him, a sudden change occurred.
