Chapter 1015 What is popularity?

At eight o'clock in the morning, after a leisurely breakfast, Xia You and his group walked towards the large conference venue by the lake that he had seen before.

In fact, it was not just them. Almost everyone on the entire street was heading there. If you could look down from a high altitude, you could see a steady stream of people pouring into the venue from three different directions. They were as black as ants, and it was really spectacular.

There were people all around, front, back, and back, making it impossible for Xia You and the others to walk faster. They could only keep the same pace as the people around them.

Even in such a situation, Xiaogang continued to harass all the beautiful big sisters he met, but every time he tried to strike up a conversation, he was paralyzed and knocked down by the bad frog that followed. Therefore, each of his conversations only lasted for a short sentence from beginning to end. However, he was like a brave man. No matter how many times he fell, he would be resurrected immediately after seeing another beautiful big sister.

Sometimes Xia You couldn’t help but wonder if Xiaogang was also blessed by some Pokémon, otherwise why would he enjoy it so much?

Fortunately, the Pokémon Center was not very far from the venue, or in other words, the entire resort was not too big. Therefore, before Xiaogang caused panic among the women around him, they reached their destination after walking for only ten minutes.

Standing in front of the venue's gate, Xia You, Ya Mi, and Xiao Gang stood on one side and said goodbye to Xiao Yao, Xiao Guang, and Xiao Zhi temporarily.

"It's up to you to perform next. We will be cheering for you from the audience."

After hearing Xia You's words, Xiao Zhi patted his chest without waiting for Xiao Yao and Xiao Guang to speak.

"Don't worry, I will definitely get this medal this time!"

"Don't even think about it. If you want to win the badge, you have to defeat us first!"

On the side, Xiaoyao and Xiaoguang saw Xiaozhi's confident look and couldn't help but smile at each other. Then they looked at Xia You at the same time, with different looks in their eyes.

"Brother Xia You, let's go in then."

"Come on!" Xia You nodded and said "Come on!" But just as the two girls turned around and were about to leave, he stopped them again.

Seeing them all turning their heads, Xia Youxian said to Xiaoyao: "Just do it as you usually do, step by step, and I believe you can do it."

Xiaoyao smiled brightly at him in response.

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you!"

After ruffling Xiaoyao's hair lovingly, Xia You turned his gaze to Xiaoguang.

"Just do it, believe in yourself and your Pokémon, and you will definitely overcome your demons."

Xiaoguang's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously to Xia You.

"I see!"

Xia You lifted his hand from Xiaoyao's head and was about to let it fall naturally when he saw a hint of expectation in Xiaoguang's eyes. He hesitated and then suspended his hand over Xiaoguang's head, but did not put it down. Instead, after thinking again, he placed his hand on her shoulder.

At the moment of contact, Xiaoguang's body shook slightly, and a barely perceptible shyness flashed in the depths of his eyes. Even his heart, which shouldn't be beating panicked at this age, somehow began to beat violently.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

His heart beat faster and faster, and for a moment, Xiaoguang felt like it was about to jump out of his chest!

I...what's wrong with me...

But before her ears turned red, Xia You had already put down his arm, as if what he had just done was... just encouragement from a brother to his sister.

Xiaoguang did not show any resistance from beginning to end. Instead, after realizing that something was wrong with himself, he lowered his eyes and did not dare to look into Xia You's eyes again.

A completely different feeling from before suddenly grew in her heart.

Quietly, slightly, she was aware of it, but she couldn't put it into words, couldn't feel it, and was filled with panic.

Xiaoyao, who was standing aside, watched this scene and the performance of her good friend. Her mouth slightly opened, but in the end she said nothing, only a deep helplessness flashed in her eyes.

Isn’t Xiaoguang’s current appearance the same as he was back then?

Xiaoguang...you...

Standing opposite Xiaoguang, Xia You also felt that her actions just now seemed a little too intimate and should not be done in the current relationship.

But this cannot be entirely blamed on him. After all, Xiaoguang and Xiaoyao were standing together, so close. He caressed and encouraged Xiaoyao. After seeing Xiaoguang's eyes, he suddenly felt in his heart that if he did not encourage Xiaoguang, it would seem that he treated him differently and only believed that Xiaoyao could win.

What would Xiaoguang think about this?

Do you think you don't consider her a friend?

Thinking about those words of comfort and encouragement I used to comfort her yesterday, they were so vulnerable in front of Xiaoyao?

It was because of this thought that he patted Xiaoguang's shoulder for some unknown reason.

However, Xia You also knew the limits. After all, rubbing the head and patting the shoulder expressed two different meanings. He believed that Xiaoguang could definitely sense it.

In addition, he also knew that Xiaoguang was such a dazzling and proud person, and with her personality, it was impossible for her to become like Xiaoyao.

After all, although others say that, he himself knows that he is not a beautiful girl killer.

So why think so much?

Xia You laughed at himself and didn't take it too seriously. However, when he was about to wave goodbye to the two of them, he suddenly saw Xiaozhi's slightly expectant eyes again.

Xia You:......

No, why are you, a boy, joining in the fun?

What does this have to do with you?

Even though he found it funny, facing this ten-year-old boy who always regarded him as his big brother and ultimate opponent, in Xiaozhi's gaze, he still patted Xiaozhi's head through his hat and sprinkled his warm sunshine on Xiaozhi.

"At least let me get to the semi-finals once."

A light sentence that sounded like a joke and an encouragement made Xiaozhi feel like he was injected with chicken blood at that moment, and his eyes lit up!

"Don't worry! Just watch my performance!!"

This change of his successfully attracted the attention of Xiaoyao and Xiaoguang, making the two smile at each other again.

As Satoshi's past and present travel companions, if they were to ask who could most change Satoshi's mood, they all knew that, apart from his mother Hanako and Professor Oak, it would probably be only Xia You.

It can even be said that in some ways, Xia You's words are sometimes even more useful than Hanako and Oki's.

Just like now.

The few of them said goodbye again and watched Xiaoyao and the other two enter the venue from the contestant passage on the other side. Xia You, Ya Mi and Xiao Gang also checked their tickets and entered the venue and found their seats.

It was at this moment that they looked around, and before they could even take in the surroundings, they realized that they were surrounded by fans with two different auras.

First came the largest group, a group of girls wearing white berets. Some of them were scattered around the audience, while others were gathered together neatly. But without exception, they all had the enthusiasm of fans on their faces, and they kept cheering and shouting.

Xia You knew at a glance that these white berets were the same style as Mikoli's. Needless to say, these female fans also came for Mikoli.

Die-hard fans, all of them are girls...

Thinking of those biker gangs who called him "big brother", Xia You sighed.

Look at the people who like Mikoli, and then look at the people who like you. Why is there such a big gap?

As for the other group, they were a group of young men and children.

They were wearing T-shirts with Lukia's image printed on them, or holding her support items, and it was obvious at a glance that they were Lukia's fans.

I have to say that this uncle and niece are really quite popular!

Their fans alone almost occupied half of the entire audience!

You know, this is not an ordinary small venue, but a famous lakeside venue that can accommodate 40,000 spectators at the same time!

What kind of ratio is this? Could it be that all their fans in Sinnoh are here?

In other words, only half of these spectators are here just to watch the game!

Xia You shook his head and stopped paying attention to these things, instead focusing on the stage.

Unlike other ordinary venues, the venue here is open-air, and in the circular venue is a huge swimming pool. There is only a stage for performances on one side of the pool. Apart from that, there is no other place to stay.

It fully utilizes the advantages of the water in Lizhi Lake.

Xia You thought to himself and looked at the time again.

Before we knew it, it was already nine o'clock. Before the female host Bai'an came on stage, as the music started and pictures flashed on the big screen, a special opening was staged at this moment.

Amid the cheerful and dynamic music, Lucia, dressed in gorgeous clothes and in high spirits, appeared on the stage, singing and happily holding the microphone.

Her appearance directly detonated the scene.

In an instant, Lukia's name resounded throughout the entire lakeside venue. People's shouts were everywhere, making people's ears buzz. Xia You couldn't even hear what song Lukia was singing.

It was the first time for Yami to encounter such a scene, and she truly felt the popularity brought by the four words "gorgeous idol".

so horrible!

Although Xia You really wanted to hear what Lukia's new song was, unfortunately, there were a few fat boys around him, shouting Lukia's name at the top of their lungs, so he couldn't hear anything.

This also made him sigh helplessly.

The experience is so bad...

However, looking at the energetic appearance of Lukia on the stage through the big screen, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Who would have thought that Lukia, who was causing such a frenzy on the stage now, would have called Xia You Mr. Xia You all the time and played doubles with him yesterday?

I'm afraid if her fans knew about this, they would all be overwhelmed.

After the song, Lucia sang her famous song again and then left the stage.

Amid the sighs of people who were still lingering, the female host Bai'an also walked onto the stage.

I have to say, although it was not an official conference organized by the Gorgeous Affairs Bureau, but was only held in the name of Mikoli personally, they still invited Bai'an as the official host, and even the judges were the same old three. This shows the value of the Mikoli Cup ribbon medal, and why it is used throughout the region.

Bai'an first thanked Lukia for her performance, and then introduced Michaeli.

And just as she warmed up the audience, Mikoli came on stage and gave a gorgeous opening show with his Mienshao, which brought the atmosphere to a climax again.

I have to say, even though the fat boys around him had calmed down, Xia You still couldn't hear any sound clearly.

Because those Mikoli fans started shouting again.

If the sound just now could be described as deafening, then now, the only sound left is piercing sharpness.

It's the kind that makes your eardrums burst.

This also made Xia You secretly groan, and he vowed that in the future when he encountered such an occasion, he would never sit in a position like the middle of the audience.

Just like him, Yami beside him also covered her ears.

Unlike those fans of Mikoli, although she is also a woman, she does not think that Mikoli is attractive, nor does it fit her aesthetic taste. Instead, it is...

He turned his head to look at Xia You and saw that he was lowering his head, covering his ears, and looked like he couldn't stand the noise. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xia You has no reputation in Sinnoh, but when he wins the Lily of the Valley Conference, more people will definitely like him!

Her smile was immediately caught by Xia You.

"why are you laughing!"

Xia You looked at Ya Mi strangely and couldn't help but raise his voice, but in such an environment, no matter how loud he shouted and sitting so close to her, Ya Mi still shook her head.

"I can not hear!"

Fortunately, as Mikoli's performance ended, the noise around him finally quieted down.

Just at this moment, Mikoli, who was standing in the center of the stage, spoke again, and this time, Xia You finally understood what he was talking about.

“…So, who is the person who can dance the most beautifully on the stage today? Show me right here, right now!!”

As he finished speaking, it meant that the competition was about to officially begin. It was then that Xia You realized that this time Mikoli would not just be performing. He would also serve as a special referee to score and comment on the contestants on the scene.

But no matter what, Xia You just wants the game to start quickly.

He didn't want to be tortured by the noise waves of these crazy fans anymore.

There were many people who had the same idea as him. Fortunately, the host was professional enough and there was no unnecessary nonsense. After the usual introduction of the medals, judges and rules, the competition officially began.

But I didn’t expect that the first player to play today would be Xiaoyao!

In fact, with Xiaoyao's strength, it is not a big deal for her to be the first to go on stage. What's more, she has just experienced the warm-up performance of Lucia and Mikoli. The atmosphere is very hot now and the audience is highly focused. If she goes on stage at this time, it will attract more people's attention.

I can only say that even though Xiaoyao didn't need it, this was still a great help to Xiaoyao.

Shaking his head and not thinking about these trivial things, Xia You focused his attention on Xiaoyao.

Obviously, Xiaoyao had made careful preparations for today's important meeting. At this moment, she was finally not wearing her usual clothes, but a desert-style dancer costume!

It's the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket~
