According to their grades, the avatars of several people are from left to right.

Among them, Xiaoyao was still ranked first as expected by Xia You, but this time it was different. She only won narrowly, because Xiaozhi's avatar was right behind her, ranking second with a difference of 1 point.

It is not difficult to imagine that if Xiaoyao had not traveled with him for such a long time, she would definitely have been suppressed at such a conference according to the original trajectory.

From this we can also see that Xiaozhi's talent is evident!

It also made everyone feel the threat he poses on the path of coordinating trainers.

But behind Xiaozhi, it was not someone they knew, but a teenage girl with a blue ponytail. This girl was really amazing, and her performance also left a deep impression on people. If she hadn't met the 'male and female protagonists' like Xiaoyao and Xiaozhi, she would definitely have won the first place.

But unfortunately, with the existence of Xiaoyao, Xiaozhi and others, she is destined to be a flash in the pan and can only wait silently for a comeback in the future.

After this blue-haired girl comes Xiaoguang.

It has to be said that Xiaoguang really broke the curse of the first two games this time and successfully entered the second round again. Moreover, she achieved a good position of fourth place surrounded by such strong enemies. Even though she is not in front of him now and is still far away in the player's lounge, Xia You seems to be able to feel her cheering.

She must be very happy now.

Smiling and shaking his head, Xia You continued to look back and saw Xiao Wang on the fifth place avatar.

This future top coordination trainer is currently only ranked in the upper-middle position and has not shown due competitiveness. But there is nothing she can do about it. You have to know that her opponents today are all performing exceptionally well, but she can still keep up with them, which already shows how powerful she is.

After waiting until all 16 contestants were seen, Xia You still couldn't find Musashi's portrait, which made him nod secretly.

well.

It seems that the judges are indeed very professional and they did not let Musashi in this time.

I think right now Musashi must be looking at such a result, jumping up and down in anger.

In terms of schedule, the Mikoli Cup is divided into two days.

The first day is the performance review, and the second day is the battle review. After the results of the first round are announced, today's conference will come to an end.

In fact, it had to end. After all, because of the huge attention and the large number of contestants, it was already dusk by the time everyone had performed. Even if they wanted to continue the event, it would be too late in terms of time.

As for why a conference sponsored by an individual is so popular, even overshadowing various local conferences, we can only say that this is the heat brought by popularity. Even people's attention to the Mikoli Cup is only slightly lower than that of the grand celebration.

So although people felt sorry about this arrangement, they did not feel it was a drag. Instead, they were all looking forward to tomorrow's battle review.

After all, compared to the performances, the wonderful and gorgeous fights among the coordinated trainers have always been what people are most interested in!

Standing up with Yami and Xiaogang, the three of them followed the crowd that was slowly dispersing but was still enthusiastically discussing today's performance, and came to the contestant channel.

Xiaoyao and his friends were almost the last group to walk out of the contestant channel, with Xiaowang following them. But before Xia You could congratulate and encourage Xiaoyao and Xiaoguang, he saw Xiaozhi with a bright smile on his face, striding up to him.

Before the people arrive, the sound arrives first.

"How's it going, Brother Xia You! Did I perform well just now? "

"Yes, yes..." Seeing Xiaozhi begging for a performance, Xia You's tone was insincere and perfunctory, "It's a pity that we were just a little short, otherwise we would have been first directly. Next time, we must strive to defeat Xiaoyao as soon as possible."

With Xiaozhi's emotional intelligence, he couldn't tell that Xia You was just perfunctorily answering him. Instead, he thought that Xia You was encouraging him.

"Don't worry!" He rubbed his nose and laughed, "Fighting is my strong point. Just wait and see, I will definitely be the winner this time!"

I'm afraid that everyone present, except Xiaozhi himself, knew what Xia You meant, so they all laughed good-naturedly, and in the midst of such laughter, Xiaozhi also grinned along.

As expected, a single-celled brain is full of joy...

He shook his head, and with the back of his hand he pushed Xiaozhi aside in a disdainful manner, and then Xia You met Xiaoyao's eyes.

Xiaoyao raised her head and smiled sweetly at him.

Although he didn't say anything, his eyes seemed to be expressing - I didn't let you down, did I?

"Well done."

Different from the tone he used when he was talking to Xiaozhi just now, this time he was quite gentle, and then he touched her head again. Just as he turned his gaze, he saw Xiaoguang looking at him.

There seemed to be some excitement in his eyes, and... a hint of inexplicable meaning.

"Just as I thought." Xia You smiled at her, "You really did it."

"Ah."

Xiaoguang didn't say much, just nodded slightly, but somehow, even though the communication between the two was simple and had no other meaning, she still felt a sense of joy in her heart.

This feeling is like being recognized by others, light and warm.

After Xia You spoke, Ya Mi and Xiao Gang naturally came forward to congratulate him, and then brought Xiao Wang along, and the group went to a high-end restaurant here as usual.

A lively celebration is naturally inevitable.

……

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, with the moonlight shining down above their heads, the group walked towards the Pokémon Center along the street that had become noticeably quieter.

The meal was held in a very harmonious and cheerful atmosphere. Everyone who ate enjoyed it very much, so much so that when they left the house, everyone had a slightly bulging belly.

Seeing that it was still early and everyone was so full, Xiaozhi couldn't help but suggest that everyone go for a walk by the lake together, but unfortunately, Xiaoyao and the others rejected him as soon as he opened his mouth.

Although there is a competition tomorrow and they are rivals, Xiaoyao, Xiaoguang and Xiaowang still want to get together and chat about some girlish topics. Therefore, after rejecting Xiaozhi one after another, they directly kicked Xiaozhi and Xiaogang out of the group chat.

Watching the three girls chatting and laughing as they entered the Pokémon Center hand in hand, Ash and Brock stood there looking at each other.

He was just about to say something to Xiaogang, but Xiaogang seemed to suddenly see a beautiful older sister walking in the distance. Without any hesitation, he followed her with love in his eyes and cheered.

Xiaozhi stood there, and a breeze happened to blew by. He looked so pitiful, as if he had been abandoned by someone.

He could only turn his last hopeful gaze to Xia You.

But he didn't expect that Xia You also shook his head at him at this time.

"I wanted to take a walk to digest the food, but sorry, there's nothing to do with a little brat in such a beautiful moonlight."

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and walked in another direction in a cool manner. Behind him, Yami also smiled and nodded to Xiaozhi, and then, like a transparent person, she quickly followed Xia You's pace.

This time, Xiaozhi was truly left alone.

"Tsk, what?" Seeing that these people had abandoned him in an instant, he snorted angrily, then glanced at the Pikachu on his shoulder and grinned, "These guys are really something, but it doesn't matter, as long as you are with me, I'm fine."

That’s right, for 10-year-old Ash, Pokémon is everything to him besides his mother.

By the lake, Xia You walked coolly in front, and Ya Mi followed quietly, like a little wife who didn't even dare to breathe, looking like she was easy to bully.

But Yami didn't care about it at all. Instead, her face became redder than before and she had a gentle smile on her face. She seemed to enjoy this atmosphere very much.

To be honest, Xia You actually felt that he was leaving everyone behind on the scumbag path and was going further and further.

With his insight, how could he not know anything about Yami's little trick and her complacent look?

But even so, he didn't say a word, as if he agreed with her thoughts.

In this regard, he is undoubtedly selfish.

The two walked around the lake, chatting occasionally, and when they had walked a long way and started to return to the Pokémon Center, they saw Xiaozhi standing in front of a railing in the distance, looking at the dark lake.

He kept walking and was about to say hello to him when passing by him, but Yami seemed to have discovered something at this moment and pointed to the depths of Lizhi Lake.

"what is that?"

Hearing her slightly surprised voice, Xia You turned his head and saw an almost transparent shadow emerge from the lake as a white light flashed, and it circled several times above the lake, then flashed by and disappeared into the lake again.

The shadow was barely detectable, not to mention in the darkness of the night. If the white light had not been turned on first, allowing several people to notice it, it would have been almost impossible to discover it actively in such a dark situation.

Even when watching it, Xia You almost lost its trace several times. Finally, when it sank back into the water, causing ripples, he realized that it had disappeared.

Not only them, but even Xiaozhi saw this scene.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief at first, and after making sure that he was not seeing things, he belatedly realized what was happening and let out a loud cry, quickly looking around.

Of course, he didn't find the Pokémon, but he saw Xia You not far away.

Seeing Xia You looking at him, he couldn't help but yell: "Brother Xia You! Did you see just now——"

"I see." Xia You interrupted him.

Xiaozhi spoke again: "I was right, so do you think that is a Pokémon--"

"Yes." Xia You interrupted him again.

Xiaozhi didn't care at all. His eyes were bright and he said excitedly: "Is it a rare Pokémon? Could it be a legendary--"

"That's right." Xia You interrupted him for the third time.

Seeing that there were people around who didn't know what was going on and began to look here curiously, Xia You was afraid that Xiaozhi would say something else, so she quickly walked to his side, held him with one hand, and walked towards the Pokémon Center.

No matter how dumb Xiaozhi was, he knew that Xia You didn't want him to speak. He looked at the people around him and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Hahaha...hahaha, I think I saw a Butterfree just now..."

This kind of excuse of trying to cover up something was too obvious, especially in a sensitive place like Lizhi Lake. Therefore, it did not dispel the doubts of the people around, but made them even more curious. However, when they looked into the lake, they found it was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. There was no movement at all.

After looking at it for a long time, people still couldn't figure out what was going on. The only thing they could understand was that the little boy must have seen it wrong.

On this side, Xiaozhi kept covering his mouth and was taken back to their room by Xia You.

At this time, Xiaogang had already returned, and Xiaoyao and Xiaoguang, whose "Girls' Secret Time" had ended, had also said goodbye to Xiaowang and were sitting in their room waiting for them to come back.

There was a large, unopened pizza in front of the three people, and Xiaoyao was holding a phone, as if she was about to contact them.

However, after hearing the door open, Xiaoyao, who had not yet had time to make a call, had already seen them enter the room and could not help but be stunned.

"You guys came back just in time. We ordered pizza and were just about to contact you, but we didn't expect you to come back by yourself." After hanging up the phone, Xiaoyao glanced at Xiaozhi who was brought back by Xiayou, and couldn't help laughing, "What are you two doing?"

Throwing Xiaozhi back onto his own bed, Xia You clapped his hands, as if he had done something insignificant: "I picked it up by the way when I passed by, so I brought it back."

Xiaozhi didn't care about that. He sat up on the bed with a grunt, unable to hide his excitement, and shouted, "Do you know what we just saw?"

Hearing him say this, Xiaoyao and the other two couldn't help but become curious, and they all looked at Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi opened his mouth and was about to say something, but stopped abruptly. He then rubbed his head, turned to look at Xia You, and smiled embarrassedly.

"By the way, Brother Xia You, what was that just now?"

Xia Youdu sat down and prepared to listen to Xiaozhi's story of what happened, but was caught off guard and almost shook his waist by Xiaozhi's sudden turn of events.

You still haven't figured out what love is?

Ya Mi, who was standing by, supported his body, then stretched out a hand to rub his waist. Xia You just glanced at her, and seeing that she looked normal, he let her do what she wanted. He just coughed lightly and looked at the people in the room.

"We just saw the God of the Lake."

"God of the Lake!?"

The others were all surprised. Xia You nodded to them and was about to say something, but saw that Xiao Zhi also had his mouth wide open. He could not help but put his hand on his forehead.

He was extremely speechless and said, "No, why are you surprised too? Didn't we just see it together?"

Xiaozhi smiled a little embarrassedly.

"I'm just cooperating with you. Although I guessed that the shadow might be some legendary Pokémon, I never expected it to be the Lake God!"
