Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

Su Yi waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. As long as you have confidence in yourself and your partner, and add some patience and observation, you can bring out your partner's charm."

The next day, the Pokémon Contest in Fallleaf Town officially began.

One by one, the trainers took to the stage, directing their partners to begin their performance.

The audience cheered and applauded enthusiastically, creating a lively atmosphere.

Su Yi released all the Pokémon and left them in the care of Ash and the others before going to make preparations.

"Beep?" The bear apprentice looked at the floating Rotom phone and curiously grabbed it to look at the screen.

"Don't grab me, Rotom! I'm live-streaming to Su Yi! I need to find a good angle, Rotom!" The Rotom phone flew up and found a spot with a panoramic view of the entire scene.

"He's really going to participate in the Grand Contest? Then let me see your performance." Far away in Galar, Dante sat on a rock on some unknown mountain peak, looking at his phone screen with curiosity.

Nearby, the Charizard, which was trying to find its way, also curiously peered over.

"It's so lively. Luckily there's this live stream thing, I don't want to go to a place like that." Hiding in the darkness, Onio took off his mask and stared at his phone screen with Gengar and other Pokémon by his side.

"Go for it!" In Violet City, Mary sat on a bench, her eyes glued to the live stream.

In the wilderness, Cai Dou climbed to a high place, held up her phone, and the live stream on the screen started moving again.

"Phew! We got a signal, just in time!" Bea sat down cross-legged and watched the screen with her Pokémon.

On the Isle of Armor, focused on the forest, Clara leaned against an ancient tree that had grown to be as thick as a person's embrace, opened her phone, and muttered, "My senior brother's interests are quite broad."

"It seems like the Grand Contest can also make someone more popular."

In Devon's office, Daigo sat alone in his boss's chair, looking at the projection screen on the wall.

"Which Pokémon will you send out? Let me see!" Steven said with interest, and casually forwarded the live stream link to his friend, Contest Master Wallace.

"Next up is contestant Su Yi from the Galar region!" the host announced, as the dome above the arena opened, revealing the bright sky outside.

"Did Brother Su Yi ask for this? I'm so excited!" Xiao Zhi said, hugging Pikachu with anticipation.

"Such a grand show? I'd like to see what kind of performance you'll put on!" Xiao Shun stared intently at the big screen in the contestants' lounge.

Chapter 316 Dangerous yet elegant giant wings, crushing force!

Why open the dome of the venue?

"Was it requested by the next Coordinator who is going to perform?"

"It feels like it'll be different from other things! I'm looking forward to it!"

The audience inside the venue were buzzing with discussion, and the atmosphere, already heated up by the previous performance, became even more enthusiastic.

"Aww-!"

A high-pitched, sharp screech came from above, and everyone subconsciously looked up, but because they were suddenly exposed to the bright sunlight, they subconsciously squinted and raised their hands to shield their eyes from the sun.

Woohoo!

With the howling of the wind, everyone felt a strong gust of wind blowing towards them, carrying a slight chill.

Just then, a colossal figure blocked out much of the sunlight, allowing everyone to see a massive, sky-covering figure with enormous wings soaring straight from the sky toward the opening in the dome.

"what is that?!"

"Such a huge body, such a wide wingspan! What a massive Pokémon!"

"It flew down towards us! What is it going to do?!"

"Angao~"

The high-pitched screech turned melodious, and to the astonishment of the audience, the Wind-Drifting Dragon spread its elegant giant wings and swooped down onto the stands. Then, with a sudden stop, the Wind-Drifting Dragon changed direction and soared very low along the circular grandstand.

From the audience's perspective, the enormous and magnificent wing membranes obscured their view, and strong winds and shadows assaulted them. The predatory perspective made everyone feel suffocated.

Observing this enormous creature at such close range immediately aroused the human instinct to fear giant monsters.

Adding to the chilling frost condensed on the glands in front of the Wind Dragon, and its deadly claws that resembled black blades, the audience held their breath for a moment, feeling a chill run down their spines, both physically and mentally.

"Ow~"

The wind-blown dragon circled once and flew to the center of the venue, where everyone finally came to their senses amidst the slowly falling, shimmering ice crystals that reflected the sunlight.

"Oh!!!"

"beautiful!"

"Incredible! This feeling of danger and splendor coexisting is truly indescribable! It's amazing!"

The audience, realizing what was happening, applauded enthusiastically, as if trying to awaken their will from the cold.

The thrilling close-range frost dance they had just witnessed provided them with an incredibly stimulating sensory experience, instantly arousing their excitement.

At this moment, everyone noticed that on the back of the Wind Dragon was a knight in armor with a pattern that was extremely similar to that of the Wind Dragon.

"Is that Brother Su Yi on the back of that Pokémon?" Ash exclaimed.

"Beautiful ice crystals, elegant dance moves, it's so gorgeous!" Miss Joey from Autumn Leaf Town exclaimed excitedly as she clapped her hands on the judging panel.

"I really, really love this!" Mr. Sugisato, the president of the Pokémon Fan Club and one of the contest judges, added two "really"s before his catchphrase, which shows how much he loves it.

Mr. Conkenstein, the director of the Grand Contest and also a judge, exclaimed, "Such an innovative performance is truly eye-opening and unique!"

However, the performance of the Wind Dragon was not over yet. Amid the applause and admiration of the audience, it spun its body upward and unleashed the Frost Drill.

As it spins, countless ice crystals cascade down, refracting light and creating a dazzling spectacle that illuminates the beautiful dragon wings, creating a dreamlike scene.

pat!

A person clad in magnificent armor appeared on the stage at some unknown time, slowly emerging from the shower of ice crystals. Against the backdrop of the dazzling ice crystals, he resembled a triumphant knight receiving a victory celebration.

"Aww-!"

The wind dragon stopped spinning, spread its wings, released a final burst of ice crystals, and opened its entire wing membrane, floating in the air with the help of the wind.

Su Yi opened his arms to welcome the descending ice crystals, as if receiving a triumphant fireworks display, or as a knight and a dragon rushing towards each other's choice.

Boom!

The Wind Dragon landed on the ground, spreading its magnificent wings and slowly bowing its head. At the same time, Su Yi bowed gracefully, taking his bow. The two faced the audience, their forms and spirits in perfect harmony, elegant and tacit.

After a period of silence.

Clap clap clap!

The applause echoed throughout the venue and lingered for a long time.

"That's great!"

"It's on a completely different level from their previous performances!"

"Elegance, so elegant!"

Su Yi took off his helmet, looked at the judges' panel, and nodded slightly in greeting.

"I can't even describe this performance in words," Miss Joy exclaimed, her face full of admiration.

Conkenstein nodded and said, "Yes, this has transcended the realm of performance; it's art. I have no doubt that it would score highly if presented at a grand celebration!"

"Are you interested in continuing your career in the Grand Contest?" Conkenstein asked expectantly.

Su Yi turned to look at Feng Piaolong, while Feng Piaolong looked at the huge stage.

Everyone was cheering and applauding them, offering sincere praise, and this feeling completely enlivened its spirit.

This was an atmosphere it had never experienced on the plateau before. It was the center of attention, and cheers were deafening. It had escaped the struggle for survival and had a brand new goal!

This was such a wonderful trip, it was amazing!

All of this was because of this unexpected intruder, the person who opened its wisdom and vision, and helped it train and grow together, its trainer, its partner!

"Awooo." Feng Piaolong gently tapped Su Yi's forehead with his head, expressing his gratitude and respect.

"Welcome to the real Pokémon world!" Su Yi patted the head of the Dracovish, then turned around and said with a smile, "My partner's choice is my choice, and I will bring it to the festival stage!"

Conkenstein nodded excitedly and said, "Excellent! I'm really looking forward to your performances, both now and in the future!"

Sukisa smiled and nodded, saying, "I really love this!"

Next, amidst cheers from the audience, all three judges gave a perfect score of 10, resulting in a total of 30 points, which was the highest score of the entire event and undisputed!

"So cool! That knight outfit and the Pokémon go so well together! And they trust each other so much, they work so well together! The pressure is immense, but I won't let down my and Beautifly's efforts!"

In the players' lounge, Xiao Yao clenched her fists, not losing her fighting spirit. Instead, the bond between Su Yi and Feng Piaolong ignited her fighting spirit!

"A crushing victory in the performance round! This feeling of danger and splendor will surely make the next spectacular battle truly show its deadly splendor!" Xiao Shun also felt heavy pressure. He thought his opponent was an amateur, but he didn't expect him to be such a talented and formidable opponent!

"Wow, not bad!" Dan Di exclaimed.

Dan Di recalled Su Yi's initial thoughts and murmured, "It seems the Grand Contest can indeed attract many people and drive the development of the entire region."

He then forwarded the link to President Loz and offered his opinion.

"I never expected you to have such a glamorous and elegant side," Rainbow smiled, while behind her, her Pokémon cheered happily for Su Yi.

"You're really getting a lot of attention! It's a pity I can't be there to cheer you on, so I can only cheer you on from the sidelines." Onio tapped the screen and typed "Go for it!" in the comments.

"Tch! What a show-off!" Clara scratched her head, a look of envy flashing in her eyes.

"Glamorous and dangerous, a brilliant combination!" Mary nodded, looking forward to the performance to come.

Chapter 317 The Deadly Elegance of the Hunt!

The Grand Contest is divided into two parts: Grand Performance and Grand Battle.

After the spectacular performance, the judges will score and select the Coordinator to advance to the next round. In short, a spectacular battle is "to fight to the end in elegance and splendor".

Whether you can launch a spectacular attack on your opponent, or even use their moves to showcase the charm of your Pokémon, will affect the scores of both players. Ultimately, the player with the higher score when one side runs out of points or when time runs out will win.

Of course, defeating the opponent directly also results in an immediate victory, so this round is the least stressful for Su Yi.

As Su Yi entered the players' lounge, he immediately felt several gazes fixed on him.

He glanced around and saw several familiar faces, while also noticing that Xiao Shun's expression no longer held the confidence and composure she once had.

"Heh." Su Yi chuckled lightly, but in Xiao Shun's eyes, the smile was smug.

During the break, the computer randomly matched the battle pairs. Su Yi's opponent was a Coordinator named Grace, while Xiao Yao's opponent was Shun.
