Chapter 421: Become the League Champion for a While

Since the competition is more artistic than competitive, the audience will not have an excited reaction.

It was only after I searched the Internet for that blurry photo taken four years ago, and then took another look at the domineering flying dragon with its winding body mostly hidden in the icebergs and white mist, and against the backdrop of the polar-like gorgeous light curtain and stars, that the blurry image in the photo gradually became fuller.

For a moment, the venue was silent, and everyone was absorbed in appreciating this special ice sculpture.

After a while.

"Cough cough."

Ye Ci, breaking the silence with a light cough, was the first to raise the score board.

"I give it a full score of 20."

Yeci smiled slightly.

Obviously, she was very satisfied with Luo Mu's work. Through this work, she successfully witnessed the tyranny of the sky dragon that could not be seen in the blurry images.

This made Ye Ci once again determined to make friends with the Lotus Crown King who could defeat Rayquaza, not to mention that Luo Mu already had a good relationship with him.

Of course, the 20 points she gave were not entirely due to the relationship. At least the sky dragon carved by Luo Mu did shock Ye Ci's heart.

After Ye Ci started speaking, there was silence for a few seconds, and the other three judges gave their scores and comments in turn.

"I give it 19 points. The grandeur of this ice sculpture is exactly what I like. It would be even better if the craftsmanship was more sophisticated. This is also my investment."

"I give it 18 points. The shortcomings in terms of technique are still too obvious, but the flaws do not outweigh the merits. The work of contestant No. 25 is indeed refreshing."

"I give it 19 points. Both the theme and the light effects attached to the Pokémon moves fit the work very well, which offsets the lack of craftsmanship. Especially since the object of the sculpture was changed to Rayquaza, the sky dragon, which is said to be a legendary Pokémon. To be frank, as a member of the Hoenn region, I want to move this ice sculpture back for exhibition."

Including Yeci, the total score given by the four judges has reached 76 points.

If Luo Mu wants to defeat Shahua, he must get a high score of 20 points from the last judge, Mrs. Osha, the most discerning president of the World Ice Sculpture Association.

Even though they had experienced many competitions, both large and small, Shahua and the three Pokémon couldn't help but slow down their breathing and stare closely at Lady Osha, who had her eyes closed and remained silent.

Laplace and Marula no longer cared that the snow moth was once their teacher, and looked at it with resentment.

Look, if you hadn't been so idle as to recruit a disciple to teach Aurora Curtain, you wouldn't have created such a big enemy for your own trainer.

The snow moth felt a little guilty, so it flapped its wings a few times and responded with a low-frequency insect chirp.

I didn't want to do that either, but who knew that Vulpix suddenly wanted to evolve, and with the help of evolution, he mastered the Aurora Curtain in one go, which would have taken some time to master.

But no matter how the snow moth refuted, Laplace and Marilla had unilaterally classified it as a war criminal.

After a long while, Mrs. Osha opened her eyes and said softly, as if she had made some kind of decision, "I give it .18 points."

In an instant, the whispers of discussion around him stopped.

Everyone started calculating at the same time.

18+76=94 is only one point away from Shahua's total score of 95 points.

next moment.

Shahua's loyal fans cheered.

But Shahua herself stood there in a daze, with a faint trace of joy of victory on her face.

Mrs. Osha could be regarded as his guide in ice sculpture, just like his master. But now, he lost to Luo Mu, who was obviously a novice, in the score given by his master.

Even though there was a clamor of joy all around, Shahua's brows never relaxed. She didn't understand why she lost to Luo Mu.

A hint of surprise appeared in Ye Ci's eyes.

It’s not that I think Osa’s score was low, but it was surprising that Osa only gave 16 points to Shahua’s highly completed work, and gave Luo Mu 18 points.

Is it the blessing of the legendary elves, or is it because of his own face?

Ye Ci waited for Osa's comments with some curiosity.

After giving the score, Osa thought for a moment, glanced at Shahua who had been looking at her, shook her head, and said, "Admittedly, I was not shocked by the work of contestant No. 25 Luo Mu when I first saw his work. I held the same opinion as the other judges, thinking that his skills were too immature."

"But despite his youth, he was able to put his inspiration into practice with the power of Pokémon. To put it more bluntly, I think his potential and spirituality in ice sculpture are well demonstrated in this work."

"I believe that with time, as his skills mature and his personal style solidifies, the ice sculpture world will have another ice sculpture master."

"So, I am willing to give my vote to this contestant with great potential. You can get such a ranking in a conference of this scale in your first debut. I am looking forward to your future."

aside.

Luo Mu didn't seem disappointed when he found out that his score was one point behind Shahua.

After the white mist summoned by the Bud Crown dissipated, he looked at the Pokémon that seemed a little lost, stroked their heads one by one, and smiled brightly.

"Don't forget, we are here to experience the atmosphere of the competition. Winning or losing is not important. Not only did we create two days of memories, but Vulpix also evolved into Ninetails, and we even won the second place. Isn't that great?"

The Bud Crown King also rode his Blizzard Horse a few steps forward and echoed Luo Mu's words, "Let's take a photo in front of the ice sculpture later."

To be honest, the Rape Crown King has been itching to do it for a long time.

On the farm, it often borrows a camera from Luo Mu, and then finds Zhi Huixing to ask for photography tips.

With the existence of telekinesis, taking photos will be much more convenient. The well-prepared King Lei Guan decided to take the best-looking photo today and put it in Luo Mu's photo album!

At this time, Luo Mu was a little flattered to hear Mrs. Osha's encouraging comments.

Wow, even experts in the professional field recognize it. Maybe I really have some talent in carving?

After winning second place within a week of debut, if we give ourselves some more time, wouldn’t that be heaven’s reward?

The night is getting darker.

A relatively simple award ceremony was held.

Luo Mu, Sha Hua and the guy who scored 92 points stood on the podium and took turns to receive certificates and medals with the official seal of the World Ice Sculpture Association.

Then, Ye Ci, who was in charge of awarding the prizes, handed the prizes to them.

Luo Mu's second prize is a piece of "Cold Rock" that can enhance the Pokémon's ability to extend the duration of snow or hail weather, as well as a check for a bonus of 500,000 Alliance Coins.

Holding the certificate, silver medal, cold rock and check, Luo Mu's smile was almost reaching his ears.

I just came out to experience life, and not only did I get so many prizes, but my Vulpix also evolved into a Ninetails, and I also met the Snow Hat Monster and the Blizzard King and his wife.

What a profit!

After readily accepting the photo opportunity, Luo Mu was about to sneak away to take a photo with the Pokémon when he was stopped by Shahua.

"Can I take you for a moment?"

"Oh, no problem." Luo Mu nodded slightly. He had to agree to the request of Shahua, the trainer of the Snow Moth who taught the Nine-Tailed Fox the Aurora Curtain.

Shahua took out her cell phone and said with a smile: "Let's exchange contact information."

Luo Mu:?
As if she also realized that there was some ambiguity, Shahua brushed her hair behind her ears and whispered, "I have a husband and children. I want to exchange contact information with you only because Mrs. Osha said that you are a potential ice sculptor. If there is anything you don't understand in the future, you can contact me by phone."

"Please don't bury your talent."

When Luo Mu looked into Shahua's eyes, for some reason, he always felt that this person seemed to be relieved about something.

However, what Shahua said was indeed correct.

Later on, I also plan to carve some ice sculptures for fun occasionally. It never hurts to know a professional.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu replied: "Okay."

After a while.

With a mobile phone with one more contact, Luo Mu walked through the crowd and came to his own work area, where the flow of people was only slightly lower than that of Shahua next door, which had the support of fans.

This place has been separated from the audience by isolation tape by staff sent by the organizer, and there are people directing the scene.

Seeing Luo Mu coming, many people petitioned Luo Mu to perform the same performance again. They wanted to take some more photos.

Luo Mu readily agreed.

Anyway, they had to use that combination of moves for the sake of atmosphere when taking photos, and it wouldn't lose any money to let other viewers who came from far away to this cold and frosty mountain take a few photos.

If possible, Luo Mu even wants to exhibit his works to the whole world.

He called over the Bud Crown King, and asked the Azure Blade Demon, Mimikyuu, Snowblood, Reggieice, Nine-Tail, the Sandslash King and his wife, the Snow King and his wife, and the Snow Hat Monster to line up in order.

Everything was ready. Luo Mu walked to the center of the team, and the combination of white mist, aurora curtain and magic sparkle bloomed again.

The Blue Blade Ghost silently found the right angle and struck a pose for the photo that was handsome and cool and in line with his own character.

Mimikyu happily jumped onto Luo Mu's shoulder, gloating over myself. Now Mimikyu is the only one left on Luo Mu's shoulder!
After evolving, Ninetails became more dignified and elegant like its mother, and less childish than Vulpix. Regardless of whether this was a temporary act or not, Ninetails at this moment was indeed frighteningly elegant.

The yellow dots on Reggieice's face flashed at an extremely fast speed, and he stood straight and stiffly, as if his processor was still calculating what "taking a photo" meant.

The Sandsand King and his wife always felt empty in their arms, but since it was for the safety of their children, they could only endure it.

The Snowstorm Horse under the Rape Crown King was still emoting alone at this time.

The socially anxious Blizzard couple stood in the line at a loss.

Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for them to join other people's family photos like this?
The Snow Hat Monster happily held his parents' hands, and two "click" sounds scared the Blizzard King and his wife.

Translating the cry of the Snow Hat Monster, the general meaning is this -

We have been a family for a long time. In fact, privately, I have already agreed to Luo Mu’s plan for our entire family to move!

Blizzard King and his wife: Σ(°Д°;
Already sold! ?

At this time, Luo Mu's voice sounded.

"Ready, 1, 2, 3, eggplant~!"

With her mind highly focused, the Flower Crown King relied on the terrifying observation ability of the legendary elves to press the shutter at the most appropriate moment using the telekinesis composed of spiritual energy.

There was a click.

A beautiful photo filled with various emotions, but mostly smiles, with the majestic Ice Sky Dragon behind the person in the photo being included in the photo.

The far-reaching impact of this ice sculpture conference far exceeded many people's expectations.

a few days later.

Hoenn region.

Larus City.

In a research institute, Dr. Rondo looked at the photos that are now widely circulated in the Hoenn region with a thoughtful look on his face.

He remembered that four years ago, it was the ice sculpture-like Pokémon that had a fierce battle with the Pokémon from outer space, which also led to the death of his son.
With a sigh and his hand on his forehead, Dr. Rondo's gaze fell on the crystal in the transparent instrument in the center of the research institute, or rather, the Pokémon called Deoxys.

He whispered, "If I let it regenerate, will that giant flying dragon chase me to Larus City?"

"The ice sculptor in Padia might know something."

Meteor Falls.

After the chaos caused by the Dragon Taming Clan, they were sent back to Meteor Falls, and the Meteor People were asked to pay a lot of compensation. Now, Xijiana, who is in solitary confinement, is looking at the photos displayed on the mobile phone brought by Gununiu Xijiana, and her eyebrows are slightly frowned.

"Has that person ever seen Lord Dragon God Rayquaza?"

Liuli City.

Inside the Liuli Dojo.

A handsome man with a white hat, smooth black hair and a slender and well-proportioned figure slides his slender fingers on the tablet, then quickly double-clicks to pause, freezing the video at a certain moment.

Expanding his fingers, Mikoli's gaze rested on the Nine-Tailed Fox, which gracefully used the Aurora Curtain and Magic Flash, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Let's not talk about Rayquaza, the sky god from the ancient legend of the Hoenn region, and the legendary giant Regice for now."

"That nine-tailed beast is very suitable for appearing in the gorgeous competition."

"It seems that if there is a chance, we can negotiate with the Padiya Alliance to see if we can expand the radiation area of ​​the Grand Contest."

"It would be refreshing if the Nine-Tailed Fox could also appear at that time."

"Miru?"

Beside Mikoli, Milotic, known as the most beautiful Pokémon, wrapped its beautiful fan-like tail around his right hand with some jealousy and gave a gentle reminder.

Mikoli knew what Minas meant, and he smiled helplessly.

"My sweet honey, your advice is spot on."

"Yes, even though I am currently the leader of the Liuli Gym and a coordination master, my status is not enough to discuss cooperation with an alliance."

"but."

Mikoli stood up and stretched his waist, which was extremely flexible for a man.

"My good friend Daigo is probably getting tired of being the champion and wants to hide in the mountains and forests to dig up his stones."

"That's perfect. Let's just be the champions of the Hoenn League for a while."
