Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 370 "Pokemon, Get☆Daze!"

As it turns out, the moss's worries were unnecessary.

Pokémon Hollywood is, after all, a film production area. If it's a musical performance, it's definitely a musical performance. Under normal circumstances, someone won't suddenly pop up and shout, "Let's battle!"

Moreover, some of the participants did not bring Pokémon, such as GOGO4, who was considered a dark horse for the championship.

In the Felix region, it's not common to use handheld Pokémon. People rely on their own physical strength for outdoor activities. If you're talking about Pokémon battles now, then they'll have to fight it out themselves.

The competition began quickly, with a grand music performance attracting a large audience from United States, along with a simultaneous live television broadcast and even a remote scoring segment.

One of the main judges was, of course, Mr. Wudang, the owner of Pokémon Hollywood.

"Yati and Xiaoju'er are also watching this competition. Interesting! The judges giving remote scores are actually them! Are they giving their evaluations from Feiyun City and Leiwen City?!"

As leading figures in the art world, the artistic leaders of Flying Cloud City and Raven City would naturally be invited. Rather, it's more accurate to say that Pokémon Hollywood has always wanted to poach Daisy; if she became a female star, her popularity would undoubtedly explode.

Aya's costumes will also shine in the film, but neither of them needs to use the film to promote themselves, as they already represent the pinnacle of fame.

It's more accurate to say that if Hollywood could hire them, it would require a lot of effort and money.

"You also know Mr. Adi and Miss Xiaoju'er?"

Homiga was already numb at this point:
"Although I said before that I would win by my own strength, now you know people in both the on-site judges and the remote scorers. You might as well just let me win the championship."

Guangtai laughed and said, "Going through the back door won't work."

"I was just venting." Homiga patted her face, trying to cheer herself up: "It'll be our turn soon!"

"Oh. Now it's the 'Stop Bear Band' from Galar Spiketown! Next up is GOGO4!"

The band performing on stage is Nie Zi's band. Unlike other bands, most of the members of Nie Zi's band are Pokémon.

Block Bear is the lead singer of the band, Tremolo Salamander (High Note) is the guitarist, Tremolo Salamander (Low Note) is the bassist, and Thunder King Kong is the drummer.

Such a unique style naturally attracted the attention of the judges and a large number of musicians, even surprising Homiga:
"That singer named Nie Zi is amazing! He actually performed on stage with Pokémon! I thought those punk fans were his band members!"

"Wow, that little girl over there is so cute."

Guangtai thought to herself, "You say Mary is indeed very cute and adorable, but you, Homiga, aren't that much older than Mary, are you?"

“You’re pretty much the same as her,” Guangtai couldn’t help but say.

“Being a year older is still a big age gap, but if it’s three years older, there’s a generation gap!” Homiga shook his finger.

The members of GOGO4 also seemed to be deep in thought. The four girls will have white hair of the same color as Homiga in the future, except that she will have "long, straight white hair".

She looked at Nie Zi's band playing on stage with considerable interest.
"So this is a Pokémon Trainer? The lead singer is a Pokémon!"

"Wow! The outside world is so wonderful! It's much more interesting than the Fila region. I've never seen anything like it before, where I can even have my captured Pokémon sing with me!"

In the future, watching the black and white blocking bear roaring on the stage, his eyes revealed tangible stars.

So funny!

“Those Pokémon don’t exist in the Fylene region.” The second son, Yuki, waved his hand. “But they really do make my heart flutter.”

"Well, if I find a Pokémon as my partner, wouldn't I be just like those rangers?"

“Although it’s amazing, we are a world-renowned band. Don’t lose to the young singers. Get ready, it’s our turn soon.” The eldest son, Mire, coughed to quiet the others down.

Nie Zi's performance elicited cheers, and her overall score reached 92, which surprised many of the bands who had performed before her. Several judges and collaborators also gave her very high praise, especially for the performance and coordination between the Pokémon, which was truly impressive.

"The stage performance was outstanding, and its artistic appeal was comparable to that of famous works."

"The pitch and rhythm accuracy were flawless, the vocal control was impeccable, and the originality and personalized artistic expression were truly surprising!"

"However, it seems to be slightly lacking in terms of completeness, and the emotional delivery is also a little flawed."

Listening to the judges' comments, Nie Zi thought to herself that the score was not low, and she had already made quite a name for herself. This time, she could be described as an instant success.

In comparison, the previous performance of Longkui was slightly lacking.

Because of his excessive love for "shouting," many judges found his intense artistic style difficult to accept, but overall he still outperformed a group of mediocre artists and is currently ranked below Nie Zi.

"Ah, does that mean my high notes aren't even as good as a blocking bear?!" Longkui roared.

Immediately following, accompanied by rousing music and cannon salutes, the GOGO4 band took to the stage!
Even if you're in a hurry, please stop!

"Listen carefully to our melody!"

"The rhythm of anger makes the earth even heavier!"

"Let the melody of aggression shout to the sky!"

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience. Compared to other music groups, GOGO4 was quite famous. Although they had only been in the industry for a short time, their superb musical skills had already won over audiences in many regions, giving them a huge fan base.

Their musical talent is beyond question.

The stirring music echoed throughout the stadium, captivating the hearts of every listener.

"Gulp! Such formidable strength!"

Homiga took a deep breath, but recalled yesterday's rehearsal, a piece that was even more moving than their music!
No problem, definitely no problem!

Thank you for listening!

GOGO4's rock and roll performance ended quickly, with thunderous applause from the audience. The judges also gave it an amazing overall score of over 95, currently placing it in first place.

"Damn it, is my dream of becoming a star about to disappear?"

Longkui felt resentful as she saw yet another band surpassing hers. She knew that if another band with a higher score came up, she would fall out of the top three and wouldn't even be able to get on the awards stage.

Therefore, he actually hopes that no famous bands will follow.

"That's the Gas Bomb Band behind us!"

"Homiga! Homiga!"

To Long Kui's disappointment, Homiga was equally popular. Although Homiga's band had few members and a small performance hall, they were quite famous in Liyong City and the Unova region. This put a lot of pressure on him, while Nie Zi had long admired the genius girl Homiga.

"I came here specifically for the performance of the Gas Bomb Orchestra."

Nie Zi watched the stage with an expectant expression, while the cheering team members were somewhat unhappy, because if the Gas Bomb Band's score increased, their leader's ranking would drop again.

However, since this was an exhibition match, the cheering team couldn't do anything outrageous and could only watch helplessly.

“Marie, that’s Miss Homiga,” Nie Zi said, pointing to the white-haired girl walking onto the stage and introducing her younger sister in detail.

Mary blinked.

She looks a bit younger than her character in Sword and Shield, but her cute appearance has already attracted many fans.

However, Mary had no intention of becoming a singer; she came here simply to support her brother.

“I want to challenge her. I heard she’s vying for the position of gym leader here.”

To Nie Zi's surprise, her younger sister expressed her burning desire in a cold tone, which startled Nie Zi for a moment before she thought about it:
"Alright, if I can hold onto third place, I'll ask her to play against you."

"If we can't even get into the top three, we have no face to go to the Gas Bomb Band."

"However, today's Gas Bomb Band is different from the ones I've seen before. The guitarist isn't that punk girl, but a young man. Hmm, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

"The Gas Bomb Band only has three people?" Mary blinked and counted on her fingers. "Everyone's band has a lot of people."

"Lead vocalist, backup vocalist, bassist, guitarist, drummer, keyboardist. But sometimes there are two guitarists."

Nie Zi: "Hmm, as far as I know, the Gas Bomb Band only has three members, and Miss Homiga seems to be the lead singer. Oh, do they also have Pokémon musicians?"

"It seems that Miss Homiga isn't the lead singer today."

Nie Zi's specialty is having Pokémon play music with her, which is why she has attracted many fans and become a loyal listener.

Even in this exhibition match where heroes gathered, his team possessed strength that ordinary bands could not match, which made Nie Zi somewhat apprehensive.

I never imagined my skill level was this high. If this becomes an instant hit, my hometown, Jianding Town, will surely prosper.

Apart from herself, none of the teams, including GOGO4, had Pokémon members, but now, Homiga's team has one.

There are two. One is a Flamebug, and what is the other Pokémon that looks like a human?
There are no records of it, and I've never seen it before. Trainers or researchers would be very interested, but musicians don't care about these things.

"As long as the music sounds good, that's fine." Nie Zi smiled.

On the other side, the four girls became very excited.

"Is it going to be another battle with Pokémon?! I can't wait!"

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the people and Pokémon on the stage.

Yoji Sanko couldn't help but complain, "Future, what are you so excited about? If the Gas Bomb Band plays better than us, won't we lose the championship?"

“Using Pokémon is definitely a plus,” he said, rubbing his forehead.

However, Miss Future simply shrugged:

"That's impossible! No matter what band is performing, they can't get a perfect score. That's music! Live performances always have flaws, and even a flawless performance will have some regrets."

Future shook his head and chuckled softly, "Besides, I investigated the Gas Bomb Band, and today's guitarist isn't your usual guitarist."

"How effective can a temporary seconded assistant be? They might even cause serious problems due to poor coordination."

“A band performance is different from a solo performance. If my brothers aren’t with me, I won’t look for other helpers because it would cause problems for our GOGO4 performance.”

"Today's gas-playing band is dangerous, in every sense of the word."

"But I still want to hear what kind of music she can play."

“Even a failed work has its own significance. Perhaps this is a masterpiece, so we should listen to it with our hearts.” Future looked at Homiga with great interest, while twirling her long white hair.

Both have white hair, both are popular, and both are rising stars in the music industry. Homiga is even younger than her, which made her want to compete with him.

However, Homiga is a bassist, while I am a violinist, so our positions in the band do not overlap.

The second son, Yu-gui, stuck out his tongue and looked at his older brother: "Will we win?"

"There's no reason for us to lose to a band that was temporarily formed!"

"Ultimately, the Gas Bomb Band hasn't reached the level of world touring yet. Although they are very famous, there are many famous bands here."

The eldest son, Mirei, crossed his arms, his parted hair standing on end, looking confident of victory.
"We will win this competition! She is the real challenger!"

The spotlights on stage shone brightly!
Instead of mourning GOGO4 for prematurely announcing their victory, the Gas Bomb Band rushed to the stage!
Homiga raised his bass:
"Poison plays my life, poison plays the stage!"

"Go for it, I'm going to shatter your rationality!"

As Homiga's classic opening remarks began, the band members took their places!

Hikari thought to herself, the Gas Bomb Band is not a fledgling band like the End Band. Whether it is Homiga, Cook, or Miss Aru who is not present, they are all top-notch performers in the Unova region.

Therefore, even when teams are temporarily formed, they can perform exceptionally well.

However, some Pokémon still get nervous.

The Burning Worm was fine; the more people there were, the more excited the little bug became. However, Meloetta seemed to be stepping onto such a grand stage for the first time, which made her a little nervous.

So, Lightmoss used the power of her mind to connect with her, gradually dissolving and melting away her inner tension.

"Don't worry, everyone here is an expert. Just do it the same way we rehearsed last night!"

"Give your heart to Homika unconditionally."

"Melo~!" Meloetta looked at the moss with curiosity and gratitude.

She took a deep breath. Although this "stage appearance" was just for fun and her own initiative, the feeling of being the center of attention made her extremely excited.

As a songstress, one must grace such a dazzling stage! As for whether someone will discover her existence and try to capture her later...
Hehe~ I had already disappeared by then!

I am a legendary Pokémon, not so easy to obtain!
"Well then, I'll be entering Guitar Hero mode too."

"A hero shouldn't run away from battle."

Although I had been using a ukulele before, thanks to my knowledge of many musicians, I was able to pick up the guitar very quickly!
What? You're using a ukulele, but you also have the hidden form of Guitar Hero? Isn't that a bit of a joke about the ukulele?

Never mind all that, just tell me if it's useful or not!

The pick in my hand began to vibrate, afterimages appeared, and a rapid and restless string sound began to play!
"Pokemon, Get☆Daze!"

The performance kicked off with a high-spirited song by Miss Homiga, setting the stage for its climax!
A skilled guitarist can turn the tide in crucial moments or add the finishing touches.

A skilled bassist can grab takeout at crucial moments to prevent the other band members from getting hungry, and maybe even do a breakdance to liven things up.

But clearly, Miss Homiga is an exception in Beth's hands!
However, Homiga really can breakdance.

Guitars, bass, drums—countless notes converged into a massive melody like waves, sweeping across the sky like thunder, and stirring up cheers in the arena like a storm!
"Whether in fire, water, grass, or forest—"

"In the soil, in the clouds, in that girl's skirt (Eeya~~!!)"

The rousing music instantly captivated the audience and judges. The style of this song was very similar to Homiga's usual rock music, but completely different. It lacked sharpness and venom, and instead was uplifting and joyful!

When he sang "in the girl's skirt," Cook suddenly slammed his drumsticks into the crash cymbals, and the Burning Bugs took the opportunity to spray a cluster of sparks.

The audience could be heard laughing out loud from the four girls in the future.

So that burning bug was a special effects artist!

Meloeta's cheeks flushed slightly as she sang a duet with Homiga. Although she was only harmonizing, she suddenly felt as if she had truly learned these human languages.

The interweaving and transmission of these emotions is so real!

"It was extremely tough!"

"I must get it! I must get a Pokémon!"

"Farewell to Pallet Town."

"I went on a trip with this guy."

"Continue to win using the techniques you've practiced."

"Add companions to travel to the next town."

Cook's bass drum pounded the nodes, the chirping of the fireflies added a "hard work" ending note, and the surging flames burst into fireworks-like light in mid-air, eliciting gasps from the crowd.

This performance even comes with special effects!

Homiga's voice was passionate and joyful, as was Meloeta's harmony.

Guangtai's guitar stirred the audience's emotions, and the passionate guitar sounds captured the hearts of all the musicians present.

It's here! Lightmoss senses it; the power of the converging music is rising!
And, within the vortex of the heart, the reflections of these musicians appeared!

The song's emotional message is deeply moving, so laugh!

With a sharp push of the ring finger, the sound of the strings intertwines with Meloetta's high notes, forming a swirling spiral!

"No matter when, everything will go smoothly."

"No one can guarantee that!"

"Live life earnestly, no matter what."

"Such people exist!"

"Ahhh! I want to become the Pokémon Master I've always dreamed of!"

"No matter what, we must succeed!"

The music started looping again, and the more exciting guitar sounds told everyone that the real climax was yet to come, and the truly important vocals had not yet been delivered!
And so, a new part begins!

"You're tired from the battle. Goodnight, get some rest!"

Every time I close my eyes—

"I can always see—"

"The flames roared, and the wind blew them."

"That battle with its deafening roar!"

Mr. Shangzhi, who seemed like a passerby, listened with his eyes closed, completely absorbed in the conversation.

Nie Zi's fingers began to tap out a rhythm unconsciously as she stood on tiptoe.

Mary stared intently at the stage, swaying her ponytail and humming softly.

Yesterday's enemy is today's friend!

"That's an old saying (but it's not that old!)"

"Today's friends are tomorrow's friends!"

"This is an eternal truth!"

On the judges' bench.

Naz seemed to be thinking of someone; she closed her eyes slightly and revealed a nostalgic smile.

Mr. Wutang stared blankly, as if recalling his youthful ideals.

In Feiyun City, Mr. Yati tapped his foot to the beat and nodded lightly in sync with the music.

In Raven City, Xiao Ju'er smiled, rested her chin on her hand, and closed her eyes, lost in her own world.

Longkui, who had been shouting loudly, stopped her "high notes" and stared blankly at the stage with her hands on her hips.

Yu Gui's expression gradually became tense and serious, and he unconsciously looked towards the future beside him.

Yoji felt as if a revolving lantern was flashing before his eyes, bringing back memories of his childhood, leaving him somewhat dazed.

"Dreams will come true one day."

"Someone once sang this way!"

"Just like a flower bud about to bloom."

"Dreams will eventually come true!"

A new cycle has begun.

The future's gaze wandered back and forth between the guitarist, the lead singer, and the two Pokémon. Then, as if thinking of something, it revealed a mischievous smile and began to clap softly.

Sweat beaded on the forehead of the eldest brother, Mi Lei, who was drenched in sweat and could hardly sit still.

"What the hell! A band that was hastily formed actually has this kind of talent?!"

"You haven't even used your full strength yet? Please, stop now!"

"Hey! Future, why are you clapping?!"
