Chapter 267

【Mission Complete!】

【Your heart has resonated with the Entree Forest! The Entree Forest has sensed a new will, and the decaying branches are slowly growing!】

【Obtained: Release Orb x3, Electric Radiance x1, Artistic Talent x1, TM (Wild Charge), Bolt Badge x1!】

【Artistic Talent — Line Artist!】

【Description: — A magician who uses lines as a magic wand to draw the subtle interactions between people! By using different lines, such as straight lines, curves, and broken lines, to shape the outlines and details of all things, thereby conveying different styles and emotions!】

【Effect: Line usage +200%. You can express your emotions and imagery purely through lines. You will have unique power in depicting black and white objects and can capture fleeting artistic details! In fashion design, line art is very important!】

【Acquired: Electric Radiance — Shining Star!】

【Description: A special power from the battle fashion show. Life has its own stage of radiance; becoming the most dazzling star on one's own stage is every life's dream!】

【Effect: Shine Collection +10%. When you obtain reward items, these items without effects will sometimes increase the extra abilities of the Pokémon wearing them; for example, Contest Ribbons will increase beauty.】

【Effect: Dazzling Stunning +50%. If you are on a stage or in a performance state, your Pokémon's all-stats + move beauty will increase.】

【Note: Your sunlight ability has improved a bit because of this! The Entree Forest also felt the illumination of the light. A brand new green leaf was born.】

【Craftable Item: Silph Scope!】

【Description: A perspective scope that can see things the human eye cannot. It possesses functions such as detecting psychic fluctuations and seeing through Smokescreen. It is manufactured with the full effort of the Silph Co. and is one of the highest crystallizations of science! It is said that even ghosts from the Spirit Realm can be seen in their true form through this scope; it is an important prop for breaking through mysterious powers!】

【Note: You can continuously study line art to become a "Pokémon Observer."】

Although this battle did not take place in a Gym, it unexpectedly allowed the Entree Forest to gain a green leaf. It was no longer a description of decay or recovery, and Xiang Guangtai also gained a new artistic ability, which can be said to be very fulfilling!

Elesa also took the opportunity to announce the end of the fashion show. First, she indicated to Xiang Guangtai to please wait a moment, then walked into the backstage amidst the cheers of the people. When she left, that excited and joyful spirit did not fade.

She seemed to want to communicate more things with him, probably regarding fashion design, Xiang Guangtai thought.

At the same time, the enthusiastic crowd dispersed, and the performance battle between the genius artist and the shining model would become an inescapable topic in this city for the next few days.

Thus, he looked at the shining golden badge in his hand.

【Obtained: Bolt Badge.】

【Description: The symbol of defeating the Nimbasa Gym. Although there was no formal Gym challenge, don't worry about such things! The design concept is lightning! Holder of the Bolt Badge! Let's have a shocking battle!】

【Effect: Participate in the Pokémon League; it is a reward item.】

【Note 1: The Entree Forest is connected to the Bolt Badge! Acquired knowledge — Shining Time!】

【Lightning will emit strong light, and circuits are the same. Beautiful things will gradually shine as time passes — your and your Pokémon's impurity -50%, brightness +30%. This can improve your elegance and fashion sense. Combined with the Voice of the Otherworld and the special pendant on your body, peeking at the flow of time and avoiding being covered in dust within time, it seems that incredible things might happen...?!】

【The Entree Forest doesn't know what will happen either.】

Xiang Guangtai: "...?"

Ah, it doesn't matter if the old tree is getting on in years and doesn't know many things. Anyway, its job is just to give out rewards. If this thing is really powerful, Xiang Guangtai can only say, "How generous, you really dare to give it!"

However, it seems that the effect of this Bolt Badge is just to clean the body, which is quite good.

Otherwise, it would be unsightly to be all dirty. Although filth is also proof of a veteran battle medal, it is very laborious to clean, isn't it?

"Wow! Super dazzling!"

Zi Yu was very excited. The stage battle just now made her thrilled. Although there was an interruption by Master N in the middle, the subsequent battle was truly satisfying to watch!

She cleared the Battle Subway in the morning, saw the battle fashion show in the afternoon, and even rode the Ferris wheel and got a Pokémon Egg. Today felt like a dream to Zi Yu!

She was really, really happy!

"I saw it... You were quite dazzling on the stage... Your Pokémon... were the same."

"They felt from the bottom of their hearts that they were unique. That kind of confidence is something I rarely see in other people's Pokémon, because you are an incredible person, and your Pokémon have also become incredible."

Although Master N also paid attention to the battle, he mainly looked not at the human will, but at the inner heart of the Pokémon. The inner voices of the Pokémon that participated on the stage just now also made him gradually indulge in it, and that Larvesta...

It seemed that it hadn't been born for long, but it also seemed to have lived for many years. It was very wonderful.

And the power Xiang Guangtai finally displayed, without a doubt, was that the Larvesta was endowed with powerful psychic power, which was the key to defeating the Luxray in one blow.

"I am also very happy today."

N expressed from the bottom of his heart. He now has a deeper understanding of the Shining Stage.

Does life bloom with radiance on its own stage? Every life, whether human or Pokémon, will welcome such a stage. If there isn't one, then one should go find it.

"I increasingly hope to meet you again in Mistralton City. The tower I accidentally thought of before, perhaps it wasn't a coincidence, but a kind of intuition I possess as a... special ability user."

"Fate is such a wonderful thing."

At this time, someone approached, trying to strike up a conversation with Xiang Guangtai, for example...

"Hello! I am from the BW Entertainment Company! Taking up a little of your time... I am very sorry!"

The BW Entertainment Company was originally an entertainment company in the Pokémon Special manga, but it also exists in this world. This is easy to understand. Although the president of the BW Entertainment Company is no longer White, the boss originally responsible for the Pokémon Musical in the game was the top leader of an entertainment company.

And the purpose of the BW Entertainment Company is to provide a large number of "Pokémon actors" for advertisements, movies, and TV dramas. It has developed businesses in many towns in the Unova region and is well-received.

"Our main business is, of course, the Nimbasa City Pokémon Musical!"

"Your Pokémon are very dazzling! Whether it's the gorgeous dance of the ancient Lilligant, or the Riolu wearing a cloak, and finally the Larvesta that is like the sun, ah! My mood is still in an excited state until now. I hope you can consider..."

"To be honest, if you, as a genius artist, could come to the stage of the Pokémon Musical, that would be a great honor for us!"

"Pokémon Musical... A game that lets Pokémon friends perform on stage. To be honest, this kind of performance..."

Xiang Guangtai hadn't answered yet, but Master N gave a sharp critique first. However, he restrained himself a bit and didn't say everything. It was just that in N's subconscious, he didn't like this kind of "entertainment" that forced Pokémon to perform.

However, the person in charge smiled:

"It's not a game; the Pokémon are also performing seriously."

"Do you know the history of the musical?"

"In the beginning, there were actually no Pokémon. People were originally performing in this musical hall, but at some point, some Pokémon were attracted and ran onto the stage on their own."

"They imitated the way people performed, and it shocked the world all of a sudden!"

"Thus, the exclusive Pokémon musical began!"

"Pokémon's costumes bring different impressions: cool, cute, elegant, and unique! Decoration, music, dance, these combined are moving. The musical hall is exactly the place that brings people emotion!"

Zi Yu spoke at the right time: "It is indeed so. Pokémon will perform different works. Some Pokémon really hope to get on the Nimbasa City Musical Hall stage! Mr. N, why don't you go check it out? There is still some time this afternoon!"

"From the afternoon to the evening is the best time to watch a musical!"

N pondered for a moment and did not refuse.

He had already cleared the Battle Subway and experienced the fashion show, so there was no problem experiencing other things.

After all, the team members were not here today. That's right, N had already confirmed this news just now; they were expelled from Nimbasa City.

This made N sigh slightly. The entertainment atmosphere in Nimbasa was still too strong, and at some point, he was actually enjoying it here...

No! This is not enjoyment, N denied this thought in his heart.

He was confirming. Whether it was with Zi Yu, this partner, or with Lord Xiang Guangtai, his actions had a clear purpose of confirmation, and the various results obtained were naturally satisfactory to him.

In the future he can see, in the future composed of calculations, the people he meets might really possess different powers and stages.

"Well, okay."

N agreed.

And Xiang Guangtai did not refuse this invitation, because this would also be treated as a display!

And this project was originally in his plan!

This is important knowledge for acquiring music and beats, in order to make more props! Those musical props have incredible things in them!

The Tidal Flute to summon Lugia, the Sun Flute to call Solgaleo, the Moon Flute to call Lunayala, the Eon Flute to summon the twin dragons of the water city, and the Ukulele that can inspire confidence and capture Pokémon with music!

Especially the last one, Xiang Guangtai has a deep impression of it. That is the exclusive prop of the Ukulele Pichu in the Oblivia region, and the material used to make it is the special wood on Dolce Island!

Therefore, Xiang Guangtai made a request, which was that he might modify some decorative props. The BW Entertainment Company has a business of renting props. After all, it is impossible for props to rely entirely on fans sending them like in the game; he has no channel to obtain them.

The person in charge happily agreed. Although Xiang Guangtai would only perform here once, being able to get the favor of this new genius artist was an excellent publicity gimmick for the Pokémon Musical.

And there is one more important point!

"Ah, are you going to the Pokémon Musical Hall? Then let's go together!"

Elesa had changed her clothes and walked out from the back. She had returned to the outfit from the Black and White era, but the headphones and the two wires hanging down made Xiang Guangtai feel that this decoration was somewhat inexplicable, so the outfit of Elesa in the Black and White 2 era was better looking.

"I am the host of the Pokémon Musical Hall! And... little Zi Yu, I saw you a long time ago."

"You are also very beautiful today, very dazzling!"

Elesa and Clay are acquaintances. In the game, it was also Elesa who notified Clay to lower the Driftveil Drawbridge, so of course she knew Zi Yu. It was just that she couldn't just bring an acquaintance's daughter onto the stage just now. Then Elesa looked at N and the two trophies N was holding in his arms.

"Battle Subway... I see, the trophies I saw before were these. Are you partners in the Battle Subway? You actually defeated Emmet and Ingo, that's really amazing!"

"It's all thanks to Mr. N!" Zi Yu said very happily. Of course, she knew that although she also contributed, the one who really led her to victory was N beside her. Master N just lowered his hat brim again.

He didn't want his face to be remembered by too many people. After all, from his standpoint, these Gym Leaders would all be his enemies in the future.

However, N still wanted to praise him:

"Your Pokémon just said something that moved me very much. That tenacious and unyielding will and the trainer's will really became one. That's right, if there could be more trainers like you, Pokémon and humans would definitely be able to have a bright future."

Elesa was slightly startled, and Zi Yu hurriedly smoothed things over: "Although Mr. N likes to say some strange things, he is indeed a good person and a very powerful person who fights alongside Pokémon!"

Zi Yu knew that N didn't like to use the word "trainer," so she changed the way she said it, and Elesa also smiled: "In short, that was a compliment just now, thank you very much. Actually, I also think it's incredible."

"Suddenly, I could feel the heart of the Emolga. Perhaps it was the effect of the replica costume on my body, or maybe it was an illusion in my heart. At that moment, my heart seemed to be one with the Emolga... longing, joy, wanting to be recognized, being more dazzling, and even defeating that Riolu. That kind of feeling is still beating in my heart."

"So, I am very grateful..." Elesa looked at Xiang Guangtai: "Just like Burgh said, you are an incredible traveler who can bring wonderful experiences to others, and you are also the most genius artist in Unova. I think this title is well-deserved!"

"Indeed."

N also rarely agreed with others. He thought that he was the one who walked out of the first predicament because of Xiang Guangtai's work.

Perhaps many times, what people lack is that first step.

At this time, the Entree Forest, which was also in a good mood, sent a secondary mission.

【Entree Mission: Perform on stage at the Pokémon Musical.】

【Description: Your shining talent has been discovered by others, and you have been actively invited to perform at the Pokémon Musical. This performance might be regarded as a display, which will help express your personal tendencies and thoughts. Musicals can go deep into people's hearts, so... do you want to use the Relic Song again?】

【Reward: Release Orb x2, Musician's Melody x1, Masterpiece Inspiration x1, Infectivity x1, Special Item x1.】

At the same time, just at this moment... there was movement in the incubator Zi Yu was carrying on her back!

N noticed it immediately!

"Zi Yu... that Pokémon is about to hatch!"
