Just when this chestnut-haired girl with determined eyes finally made up her mind to walk the path of a Coordinator in the future, Hakuya suddenly felt the Poké Ball on his waist shaking.
Because most were left on the farm to watch the house, he currently only brought a few Pokémon girls with him.
Gardevoir, outwardly cold but actually an extreme nympho towards the Trainer; Darkrai, hiding in the shadow peeking and watching, always thinking about turning everyone into the Trainer's sows; and Suicune, who actively wanted to follow for some reason, with a temperament like a goddess descended to earth...
"Suicune, you also want to participate?"
Hakuya looked at the elegant azure figure jumping out of the Poké Ball, freezing subconsciously.
Although many Trainers from other Leagues came to participate in the Wallace Cup, and there were indeed many experts, if a Legendary Pokémon also came... even the vastest fish pond couldn't withstand such bombing—
Are you planning to ruin other Coordinators who ran all the way here just to get a Ribbon?!
"Suic~"
At this moment, facing the Trainer's strange gaze, this noble, elegant Messenger of the North Wind, clear and escaping like a moonlit mountain stream, just nodded faintly.
A goddess was a goddess after all. Although compassionate towards all living beings, to some extent, like the Nightmare God who disregarded everyone except Hakuya, Suicune also had a high-and-mighty, willful nature.
This kind of competition pursuing the display of elegance and beauty seemed to fit her wishes very well.
After all, talking about elegance and holiness, probably no Pokémon could compare with the Incarnation of the North Wind symbolizing clarity and holiness.
"Fine, then let's try it later."
Hakuya thought for a moment, also igniting interest.
Although his original intention was just to cheer for Dawn in Hearthome City conveniently, then let May appreciate the charm of Contests and lead her onto the path of a Coordinator, participating in the Wallace Cup together seemed not bad either.
After all, he transmigrated into the Pokémon world. Besides leisurely farm life, occasionally participating in these special competitions for entertainment was also okay...
"..."
When Hakuya made up his mind to take Suicune to bomb the fish pond of the Wallace Cup, Dawn and May on the side looked at each other, both falling into a state of shock and dullness involuntarily.
Due to the remote location, only the two of them saw Suicune's appearance with their own eyes, naturally causing no big sensation.
But seeing a Legendary Pokémon at such close range still made these two girls swallow subconsciously.
Consistent with the anecdotes passed down by word of mouth, this North Wind symbolizing clarity and nobility was simply too elegant and beautiful.
The fluorescent azure gem embellished the forehead. A white ribbon danced and fluttered with the breeze, setting off her graceful figure even more brightly and movingly.
And besides the elegant and bright appearance, her temperament was superb—clear and ethereal like a bright moon, quiet and transcendental like a mountain stream, pure and unconventional, extraordinary and otherworldly. Estimating that without any appearance action design, just standing there, the judges present would directly give full marks, right?!
"Sorry, Dawn. Originally said just to cheer for you, but ended up..."
Putting Suicune back into the Poké Ball, Hakuya touched the back of his head, saying somewhat embarrassedly.
"N-No problem, it's better for more people to participate in the competition~"
Dawn hurriedly shook her head, indicating she didn't mind much.
Hakuya taking time from the farm to come to Hearthome City to watch her Contest debut already made her very happy. Moreover, if happening to meet as opponents, she could also learn a lot from it...
"Piplup~"
"Mmm-hmm, Piplup, we also need to work hard later!"
At this time, meeting her own Pokémon's gaze, Dawn took a deep breath, speaking firmly.
A youthful and energetic girl, although inevitably nervous about having another powerful opponent, since she chose to participate, she had to do her best to show her due style, worthy of the special training efforts these days.
Of course, Dawn still silently mourned for the Trainers who would face Hakuya later in her heart.
She could already imagine the shocking scene when others sent out Pokémon like Beautifly and Delcatty, performing confidently with moves prepared for a long time, while the opponent casually threw a Poké Ball and released the Legendary Pokémon Suicune.
Leaving aside the result of participating in a Contest for the first time, just the act of smurfing with the legendary Messenger of the North Wind, Brother Hakuya was simply too bad!!!
Compared to the blue-haired girl igniting fighting spirit on the side, May had star eyes, looking at Hakuya with admiration all over her face.
"Eh... is a Legendary Pokémon only seen in the Pokédex, s-so amazing~"
Legendary Pokémon weren't Caterpie found everywhere on the roadside. To capture successfully, one not only needed strong enough strength but also had to gain the other party's recognition from character and other aspects. Otherwise, even if defeated in battle and taken into a Poké Ball, those Legendary Pokémon with powerful strength would break the restraint directly and escape.
"Feeling even more amazing than that Champion Steven~"
May nodded slightly, her fingertip tapping her lustrous lips lightly, pondering.
If discussing who the strongest Trainer in the Hoenn region was, almost everyone would vote for that Devon Corporation's eldest son—Steven Stone. He swept the entire Hoenn region undefeated with just his Shiny Metagross. But even the powerful Hoenn Champion must be inferior to the black-haired youth before her.
After all, he not only captured Articuno but now even the legendary Messenger of the North Wind recognized and trusted him...
Truly worthy of being the idol she admired most!!!
"Brother Hakuya, let's go in quickly; seems it's about to start."
After a short silence, May glanced at the time displayed on the communicator, then pulled the farm owner's sleeve lightly.
At this moment, the chestnut-haired girl's face was full of expectation and hope.
Not only attracted by the Contest described by Dawn as making Pokémon beautiful and letting them use moves more charmingly, she now also wanted to see Hakuya's upcoming performance quickly. Her fair, snowy, tender small hand unconsciously almost linked up.
Sensing that girlish fragrance close at hand, Hakuya's heart swayed involuntarily. But the strong heart exercised on harem girls long ago still made him quickly suppress the charming thoughts, shaking his head.
"Probably can't enter the venue yet; Dawn and I have to go to the counter to apply for a Contest Pass first."
"Contest Pass?"
May tilted her head, looking doubtful.
"Yes, just like registering Trainer information for the first Gym Challenge, participating in a Contest also requires applying for a Contest Pass in advance, otherwise one cannot participate... I should be right, Dawn?"
After answering this pure chestnut-haired girl's confusion, Hakuya cast his gaze on Dawn who was also listening on the other side.
If he remembered correctly, Dawn's family was a family of Coordinators. Her mother Johanna had won Contest championships many times, winning the Ribbon Cup and the title of Top Coordinator. Dawn also mastered a lot of knowledge under her teaching since childhood.
And his understanding of Contests was limited to the superficial knowledge from anime and games of his previous life. To say how to register and what the competition process was in reality, it was better to ask this experienced blue-haired girl.
However, contrary to Hakuya and May's expectations, Dawn, being asked, froze.
"Ah—" "Piplup?"
Never hearing the Trainer say this word, Piplup, only caring about burying its head in hard practice, blinked its big watery eyes, casting a doubtful gaze at the Trainer.
"Oops, I forgot!!!"
Dawn covered her head with both hands, letting out a wail resounding through the sky.
