Pokémon: The Dark Second Generation, Stepping on Daddy to Take the Top

After eating the hot noodles, the rich flavor of satay with a slight spiciness and unique sweetness instantly dispelled all the coldness.

"Wow! It's so damn delicious." Bi Xing ate so much that sweat broke out on the tip of his nose.

"This soup base is so rich, it's so damn comfortable!"

Chen Luo also nodded in agreement. This simple and authentic flavor can indeed bring the greatest comfort to travelers.

But what the hell do you mean by constantly talking about the quintessence of the nation?

Really uncultured.

After finishing their noodles, they strolled along the old street to help digest their food. Seeing a stall selling earthworm jelly, Bi Xing curiously bought two portions.

The cleaned sandworms are wrapped in crystal clear jelly, which has a chewy and cold texture. Dipping it in mustard sauce has a unique flavor.

"This taste... is so fucking weird!" Bi Xing had a strange expression on his face.

“I can’t tell whether it’s delicious or not, but it’s addictive!”

Chen Luo looked at him and said, "It's delicious, but could you please stop swearing?"

"Sorry, sorry, I won't do it again next time." Bi Xing scratched his head embarrassedly.

The two walked through the old street and came to the coastal promenade.

The sea breeze in winter is even more fierce, blowing people's clothes fluttering.

The sea is surging with waves, and you can see large-billed gulls gliding against the wind in the distance, occasionally diving into the water to catch fish.

A few long-winged gulls were smarter and followed the returning fishing boats, waiting for an opportunity to find food.

There are still a few anglers holding on to the breakwater.

An old man was accompanied by a giant flying fish, which was floating leisurely on the water.

What is surprising is that on the broad wings of the giant flying fish, there are two small turtle feet lying, gently swaying with the waves, enjoying the "free" sea trip, looking very comfortable.

Bi Xing took out his camera and took pictures.

Just then, Bi Xing pointed to a small lighthouse built on a reef in the distance.

"Boss, look over there, isn't that a gym sign?"

Chen Luo looked in the direction he pointed and saw that there was indeed an inconspicuous but very exquisite logo on the side of the white lighthouse.

A simple white flying feather pattern.

"It should be."

Chen Luo nodded.

"That should be the White Heron Gym in Heron City. Let's challenge it tomorrow."

Chapter 105 Lucheng Fashion Competition

When we returned to the hotel, the lights were already on.

"Mewtwo, Celebi, I brought you some specialties from Lucheng. Come and try them." Chen Luo said.

Mewtwo still sat in front of the computer in almost the same posture.

Telepathically replied.

"Well, I'm done with this boss!"

Celebi had already finished watching "My Mother is a Lip-Loving Sister" and was now sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, holding a bag of snacks provided by the hotel.

The TV was broadcasting local news, and the female anchor was accompanied by a noisy bird with shiny feathers.

"Next is a cultural message."

"The annual Lucheng Winter Pokémon Fashion Competition will be held tomorrow in the square outside the Gulangyu Concert Hall."

"This fashion competition aims to showcase the winter fashion styles and synergy between Pokémon and Trainers, and has already attracted many local and international Trainers to sign up."

"It is reported that Bai Ling, the leader of the White Egret Gym, will also attend as a special guest with his ace card, King Swallow..."

"Fashion competition?"

Bi Xing suddenly became interested.

"That sounds interesting, Boss. Why don't you go check it out tomorrow?"

"I'm not really interested in this kind of thing. If it were a competitive type, I might want to participate."

Chen Luo looked at Bi Xing and said.

"Why, you want to join?"

"Hey, I have an idea."

Bi Xing touched his chin and looked at his different-colored giant mantis.

"With my friend and I's good looks and chemistry, winning an award shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Upon hearing this, the giant mantis with different colored claws cooperated by raising its gorgeous green claws, making a crisp sound of metallic collision.

"To be honest, I think the red lightning is more handsome. You, the green mantis... forget it, you should just send the ice nine tails. I think there is still a chance of winning." Chen Luo said.

Celebi nodded.

"Bi~"

The green one is still the best looking for me.

"Chasha!"

The giant mantis with different colors looked like it was struck by lightning, with dark clouds covering its head. It leaned against the wall with a dejected look on its face.

"Hey, boss, what you said really hurts Mantis!"

Bi Xing quickly ran over and patted his companion's hard shell.

"Don't listen to him. Your one-of-a-kind emerald is so much more stunning than those common reds! We must participate. We must dazzle them!"

"I'm signing up now and I have to win the championship tomorrow."

The registration deadline is 12:00 PM.

Bi Xingka's time was just right and I successfully registered on the official website.

The next day.

In the hotel room, Bi Xing and his giant mantis with different colors were fiddling with the dressing mirror.

Bi Xing dug out a black leather vest from somewhere and put it on, and also found a slightly exaggerated metal chain.

He tried to put some shiny stickers on the giant mantis's pincers, but the giant mantis pushed them away with its pincers in disgust.

"Dude, don't be like this. We need to have some style. You have to trust a photographer's vision!" Bi Xing said earnestly.

"Look at those catwalks, which one isn't flashy?"

"Cha...sha..."

The giant mantis looked at its own claws covered with colorful stickers in the mirror, its eyes full of doubt and resistance, and it even covered its face with its other claw.

Celebi flew around them curiously, holding the snacks he hadn't finished yesterday, tilting his little head, as if he didn't understand what they were doing.

Chen Luo drank his breakfast milk and looked at the disorganized preparations, and couldn't help but complain.

"I still think you have a better chance of success if you send Ice Ninetails. You're just forcing yourself to do this."

"Chasha!"

These words once again hit the giant mantis accurately. It immediately wilted and leaned against the wall, even the antennae on its head drooped.

"Boss, can't you encourage us?"

Bi Xing was frantically tearing off the crooked stickers on the giant mantis's claws while trying to boost his companions' morale.

"Dude, don't listen to the boss's nonsense. Your green outfit is unique. We can definitely win."

Gulangyu Island, the square outside the concert hall.

The winter sun casts a warm golden hue on the island.

The square outside the concert hall has already been decorated beautifully, with a huge ice and snow style T-stage stretching across the center.

There were crowds of people around, and various Pokémon and trainer combinations were competing with each other.

Chen Luo took the invisible Celebi and sat down in a corner with a good view.

Celebi was immediately attracted by the cream puffs sold at the stall next to him, and kept pulling Chen Luo's hand, asking Chen Luo to buy them for him.

"Really? I just ate it yesterday."

"Okay, eat it." Chen Luo bought one and handed it to Celebi.

Celebi ate happily.

"Bi~"

Chen Luo is the best!

The host on the stage introduced enthusiastically.

"Dear trainers, distinguished guests, welcome to the annual Lucheng Winter Pokémon Fashion Competition!"

"Before each contestant showcases their unique talents with their partners, please allow me to solemnly introduce the judging panel for this competition, as well as the competition rules and generous prizes that everyone is most concerned about!"

The spotlight immediately turned to the judges' seats.

"First of all, our special guest for this fashion competition, and the pride of Lucheng, is Miss Bai Ling, the owner of the Bailu Gym!"

The camera turned to Bai Ling, who smiled and waved to the audience, and the royal swallow beside her also made a clear cry.

"Not only is Gym Leader Bai Ling formidable, his aesthetic cultivation of Flying-type Pokémon has always been highly respected!"

"The second one is Ms. An Weiwei, a senior fashion editor from Pokémon Vogue magazine, who has unique insights into Pokémon trends!"

A stylishly dressed lady wearing gold-rimmed glasses nodded gracefully.

"The third one is Mr. Luo Xing, the famous Pokémon Coordinator Trainer who once achieved outstanding results in large-scale celebrations in the Southern Region!"

A gentle, well-dressed young man stood up and bowed to the audience.

"The three judges will score each participating team based on the creativity of their fashion choices, the chemistry and expressiveness between the Trainer and Pokémon, and the overall performance quality of the performance!"

The host continued to introduce the rules.

"The competition is divided into three parts: first, the fixed-point display, showing static appearance and temperament; second, the tacit interaction, showing the tacit understanding between the trainer and Pokémon; and finally, the free style, igniting the audience with your best ideas!"

"And the ultimate winner," the host's voice was full of temptation.

"You will receive a 100,000 NTD prize from the Pokémon League and sponsors, as well as the unique Winter Fashion Star trophy!"

"Of course, there's also the opportunity for an annual cover interview provided by Pokémon Vogue magazine, where Ms. An Weiwei works!"

There were exclamations and warm applause from the audience. This reward was quite generous.

"And more than that!" the host added.

"All trainers who qualify for the finals will receive priority access to the Egret Gym and a one-day coordination training masterclass led by Mr. Luo Xing!"

The generous rewards and the opportunity to interact with celebrities made the atmosphere on the scene even more heated, and also made the contestants waiting backstage more nervous and expectant.

"Wow... the prize money is huge... Are there any entry restrictions for this competition? Why didn't I sign up? What a pity," a trainer muttered in the audience.

"Come on, just forget about that tattered bag of yours. Don't go up and make someone faint from the stink."

"What are you talking about? My ragtag bag is the coolest looking one in the universe, okay?"

The auditions are basically conducted at a glance, and those whose looks do not meet the public's aesthetic standards are basically eliminated at a glance.

The fashion competition officially begins.

As soon as Chen Luo handed the puff to Celebi, the host announced in an enthusiastic voice.

"Now, let us welcome our next contestant, Liu Lili from Water City and her elegant companion, Glaceon!

A girl wearing a light blue dress and a gentle smile and a Glaceon with fur as white as crystal snow walked onto the catwalk.

Glaceon's steps are light and graceful. Its entire body appears to be carved from the purest ice crystals, and its fur reflects a faint rainbow halo in the sunlight.

It held its head slightly high, with an expression that was a bit as cold as an ice queen.
