Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 450 The Concert Begins, A Gathering of Heroes (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

As the building collapsed, the rematch came to an end. It wasn't until the referee announced the result that the audience snapped out of their shock at the sight of the Aluminum Steel Dragon being elbowed to death by the "Motor Lizard" and erupted in cheers.

"Good! Well done!"

"That's how we should play! No! That's the only way we can play!"

Although it was indeed tragic that Qibana was defeated so quickly, what did that have to do with these bloodthirsty spectators? Of course, the more intense the match was, the better. Right now, they couldn't wait to see Mingyou go all the way to the championship.

Feeling the cheers of the audience, Dan Di maintained his smile, but in his heart he was truly shocked by the strength displayed by Ming You's motorcycle lizard, and he was even more looking forward to fighting against it.

At the same time.

Inside the Loz Building, the headquarters of the Marocmont Group in Gongmen City, Loz withdrew from the live broadcast of the reshuffle match, stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the entire city of Gongmen below.

"What an amazing creature... Is that really a Motosaurus? I think I'm seeing some technology that doesn't belong to this era, maybe a man-made Pokémon like Silvally?"

"Unfortunately, this isn't what I'm after. Having the technology but lacking the ability to implement it will only hinder progress. Given enough energy... I could do that too!"

Lorz muttered to himself, then took out his phone, Rotom, and called his secretary, Olive: "Mingyou's ranking is unlikely to change any further. It's about time to start making preparations."

"I understand, but this person..."

"It doesn't matter, he poses no threat, unless... he wants to make an enemy of the entire Galar region!"

"……I see."

Rotom put down his phone, put his hands in his pockets, and continued to look out the window, admiring the view of Palace City. Before long, the entire Galar region would have such beautiful scenery.

……

The scene returns to the Quan Guan Arena, where the audience leaves in an orderly fashion amidst discussions. Mingyou also leaves the arena and meets up with Xiaozhao and the others.

"Wow, that's amazing, Yoyo!"

Xiaoyou stepped forward, excited that Mingyou had defeated Qibana so effortlessly. Even for her, defeating Qibana during the gym challenge was no easy feat, which showed just how strong the opponent was.

Mary sighed softly. It seemed that in the previous match with Mingyou, her opponent hadn't shown her true strength at all, but she still fought her seriously. But why did she suddenly start bullying her this time?

Dan crossed his arms and guessed, "He probably wants to intimidate the other players with his absolute strength. There's only one week left in this World Championship, and to avoid being constantly challenged by players in the reshuffle matches, he might as well make them all afraid to challenge him."

"I see!"

Xiaoyou and Mary both suddenly realized.

Only Xiao Zhao, after seeing Ming You's expression, guessed that it couldn't be that. This kid wouldn't deliberately go out of his way to be high-profile. It's probably because Qi Bana found out that the other party could use Dragon-type Pokémon and went to provoke him.

Only the closest people can guess the truth, and since the news about Qibana came from Leon, Leon is also involved in this matter.

But that's in the past, so there's no need to talk about it anymore.

Mingyou didn't continue the topic. He looked at Dandi and asked curiously, "By the way, when does the World Championships end again?"

"At the beginning of next month, after the rankings for this season are decided, we will wait another week before the Masters Tournament begins. At that time, eight Masters-level players will gather at the Palace Arena."

"Then I'll look forward to it!"

Mingyou smiled calmly and glanced at Xiaozhao.

Why are you looking at me?

"It's nothing~"

After the reshuffle competition ended, everyone returned to Spike Town to make final preparations for the concert, as if it were just something to pass the time.

Soon, several days passed...

Spiketown is bustling like never before, and it may be hard to surpass it in the future. The once chaotic streets full of punk style are now clean and tidy, without a trace of disorder, and concert posters are neatly posted everywhere.

The members of the shouting team, who could scare children just by looking at them, also changed their outfits and greeted the visitors with the best attitude, while also being responsible for maintaining order at the concert with the Pokémon.

Due to limited space, seating could only accommodate a few thousand people at most. Many fans who couldn't buy tickets had to wait outside Spiketown and watch the live stream on their Rotom phones to experience the atmosphere of the concert.

Of course, there are also some opportunists who take advantage of the situation.

But today, it's not just Lucario and his friends here; Big Bear and Little Bear are here too. Any petty thief won't escape the struggle. Once caught, they'll be thrown into a cement bucket and sunk into Spike Bay.

At this moment, Mingyou was also welcoming friends who had come from afar. He had given away a lot of tickets. Although some people were too busy to come, most of them still came.

Not to mention that many of them are still fans of Meloetta, such as Danyu and Wuli, as well as Xiaoqing and other members of the investigation team. It's just that Mudan seems to have something to do and didn't come.

There are also those like Qishu who are just trying to ride the wave of popularity...

"Although Sally gave me a ticket, I didn't expect it to be this big."

Zhu Lan, who finally had some free time, also came to the scene. It had been a long time since she had seen Ming You and the others, and she felt quite nostalgic, reminiscing about the time she spent in Lianyi Town.

Mingyou chuckled and replied, "It's our honor that Sister Zhulan came."

"And you're telling me... who exactly gave me this power level? They've already revealed some things about Team Galactic, and it seems like it's related to someone else."

Zhu Lan lightly touched her chin with her fingers, subtly pointing at someone, but she didn't pay much attention to it. Reflecting that the Galaxy Team matter was over, she changed the subject to the World Championship, saying, "I watched your position change match live a few days ago; it caused quite a stir! I hope we can meet during the match!"

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

Mingyou responded.

Not far away, Latias was talking to Lillie, while also proudly showing off his two-on-one victory in the positional swap match to Gladion beside him. The young master was completely helpless against this kid and could only continue to keep a straight face.

There's nothing I can do, I'm completely exhausted from losing.

After seeing Mingyou win the reshuffle match, he thought he should rush to 9th place to compete. But he lost to someone else yesterday and has now dropped to 35th place. It was only a little bit away, but it felt like an insurmountable gap.

Lusamine stood behind the two children. They happened to be in the Galar region at the time, and since Lillie also loved Meloetta's singing, the whole family came to see them.

The family is still searching for Moen, but through their research on space, they have narrowed down the search area considerably. After all, there aren't many regions that can open the Ultimate Void, and the Galar region is one of them.

Moreover, she had a premonition that Moen was likely somewhere in the Galar region...

Just as Mingyou, Xiaozhao, and Zhulan were talking about their recent situation, the white dragon mark on the back of his hand suddenly felt warm. Then, a figure dressed in white slowly walked over and greeted him with a smile.

"Long time no see~"

"Yes, it seems like everything's alright now?"

"Yes, the international police surveillance ended a long time ago. We've just been busy settling down the remaining members who left Team Plasma. Together, we opened a Pokémon welfare center in Smoothie City."

N responded softly. Compared to the period when he was confused, there was now a clearer expectation for his future in his eyes. He would create it with his own hands, not relying on ideals or reality.

He plans to visit Beishang Township after this period and stay there for a while, hoping to gain some insights.

"But Meloetta is so popular? If it weren't for your promise, perhaps we would never have seen its smile again?"

"It's all thanks to everyone."

Mingyou smiled and responded, then glanced at her Rotom phone and said with her head held high, "It's almost time. These are all front-row tickets. That kid is still a little nervous because it's his first concert, but seeing us in front will probably put him at ease."

……

The group quickly entered and took their seats, occupying all the front row seats of the concert. Even if other fans had objections, they no longer objected after seeing that several Master Ball level players, such as Zhu Lan and Dan Di, were present.

And backstage at the concert.

Meloeta adjusted its state and had a final exchange with Nie Zi and the others. Once on stage, it would be up to it to do everything on its own.

"Kira~"

Go, sister!

"Melo!"

Hearing Jirachi's encouragement, Meloetta nodded slightly and stepped into the rising platform alone. Amidst the anticipation of countless fans, she slowly appeared from the center of the stage with her eyes slightly closed.

The stage lights converged on the center, and the moment Meloye Tower appeared, the scene fell silent. Everyone watched nervously, not daring to breathe, for fear of accidentally disturbing the other person.

until……

"come on!"

Mingyou, sitting at the very front, laughed and shouted, completely shattering the tranquility of the concert.

Hearing the reassuring voice from the other party, Meloeta smiled, raised her arms, opened her eyes, and was bathed in the colorful lights. The rhythm of the music was also fully ignited, and countless melodic notes instantly bloomed above the venue.

"Melo!"

"!!!"

As the melody of the first solo began, each note was like a surge of electricity, igniting the passion deep within the audience. They released their emotions through the song, immersing themselves in this musical feast and sharing this wonderful musical moment together.

Soon, the band members also appeared on stage, showcasing their musical talents and performances to the beat, dancing with Meloeta. The notes danced, the steps were light, and every detail exuded the unique charm of this band.

"You're in great shape!"

Mingyou was completely immersed in the exciting atmosphere of the concert, following the rhythm of Meloetta and the others, waving her glow stick along with Ponpo and the others.

Immersed in the music, the concert finally came to an end before the audience realized it was over, leaving them wanting more.

The music stopped at that moment.

Meloeta floated alone in the center of the stage, breathing slightly heavily, maintaining a smile, and interacting with fans by relying on the subtitles on the large screen behind her.

"Melo~"

Although we are very reluctant to say goodbye, it was our first concert after all, and there were many things we couldn't do perfectly. Please forgive us and continue to support the Spiketown Band that has helped us in the future.

This can be considered as helping Nie Zi and the others promote themselves, which was also their initial goal.

And after the publicity...

"Melo!"

So, this is the last song for today. It's a new song that I wrote a few days ago for this concert, so I didn't make a video to release it, and I have no plans to make a video.

Hearing this, the audience, still wanting more, were instantly filled with anticipation – a new song?! Hurry up and bring it on! (eagerly)

"Melo~"

This new song has a very important meaning to me; it was created for my very important family and friends who have been with me all along!

and so……

"Melo!"

Meloeta pointed forward, and the concert lights instantly fell on Mingyou and the others in the front row.

"Huh?!"

Mingyou was slightly stunned, and before she could even react, she was pushed by Xiaozhao and brought to the concert stage, in front of so many people at the venue and countless viewers in the live broadcast room.

The intensity... has increased!

Feeling the gaze, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, completely snapping out of his immersion in the music and remembering his promise to Meloeta to go on stage together at the end of the concert.

Mingyou's face was familiar to everyone.

But why this guy?!

Kill him!

Hearing the faint sounds of commotion and murderous intent, Mingyou knew the plot would definitely develop this way, and hoped that no one would come and smash her windows.

"Melo~"

Meloeta spoke up at this moment, instantly calming everyone down. Music is meant to be enjoyed, and we shouldn't argue about this. Let's just savor this last piece of music!

The melody began again at that moment.

Unlike all the previous songs, this song's melody seems to carry a touch of innocence and sadness, making the listener feel very uncomfortable. It's not that it's unpleasant to listen to, but rather that it conveys a sense of powerlessness, as if one is bound by fate.

And so it continued until the climax, when this helplessness seemed to be suddenly redeemed by someone who made a promise, and as the knight guarding the princess, the last hope broke the shackles of fate.

On the concert stage, as Mingyou listened to Meloeta's song, her expression gradually changed from panic to relief.

How could he not hear it...?

The protagonist of this song is Meloeta herself, this innocent girl who has been bound by fate for a thousand years, longing for redemption, and finally came to this stage to share her unknown story with everyone through her favorite music.

Until the very end, it was as if a green shooting star streaked across the night sky, bringing the concert to a complete close. All the audience members were still immersed in the story told through the music, unable to calm down for a long time.

At that moment, Meloetta gently swayed her body, looked at everyone on the stage, and instead of shouting, smiled and spoke in her beautiful voice, "Mingyou... and everyone else, thank you all for everything!"
