Chapter 26: A Show to Never Forget (2)
The whole stadium was in silence as pink sparkles were falling to the ground, and surround both Soul and Sylveon.
Soon enough, a clap could be heard. Another one came by as one by one, everyone started to claps while cheering for Soul and Sylveon.
Commentator: O-Oh, ahem… that was a wonderful song, Star! What is it called?
Soul: Sugar Song to Bitter Step.
Commentator: I see. Well, what do the judges think of Star and Sylveon performance?
Mr. Contesta: I have nothing else to say other than it was one of the best performances I've ever seen.
Mr. Sukizo: Both the coordinator and Pokemon did a very good performance. It's Remarkable.
Nurse Joy: I like their performance very much. It's like their relationship is so deep that words do not need to express on what they should do next.
Commentator: Well, let's see how many points Star would score.
The small screen in front of each of the three judges could be seen changing. All three of them showed a number 10, meaning that they have score full points.
Commentator: It's a full 30 points! Oh wow! I have never seen this before. With that, Star has the highest points out of all of the coordinators.
After finishing packing the guitar, Soul left the stage with Sylveon. Just when they arrived at the waiting room, he and Sylveon were being stared at by all of the coordinators. It was very awkward for him to be in this situation to say at least.
Not soon enough after, he was swarmed by them.
???: Your performance was fantastic! How did you do it?
??? 2: Star, I'm your new fan now!
??? 3: Me too! Can I get an autograph?
Soul: 'Here comes the fame again…'
He was now wasting some time answering a few questions and gave only a few autographs before he excuses himself and left the waiting room.
When he left, Lucia let out a sigh as she was about to ask him a question, but was too nervous to do it. Now, she felt even more nervous when she saw how well-performed, Star and Sylveon was.
Ralts, who sensed its master emotion looked at her with sad eyes.
Tyler: Hey, Lucia, c'mon. Both you and Ralts have practiced this for weeks! You'll be fine, trust me!
Lucia: Yeah, but… I'm not sure if I can win against that person.
Tyler: You don't know about it before you try it first! Besides, haven't you always enjoy and wanted to join the Grand Festival?
Lucia: Of course I do! But…
Tyler: No but! You can do this, sis. Just trust in yourself, and even if you lose, there's no guarantee that you would meet him again.
Lucia: You talk as if I have already lost the battle.
Tyler: A-Ah… what I mean was… d-do your best! Yeah, that's right. Just do your best, sis.
Lucia: Thanks for the encouragement, brother.
Tyler: Hehe, you're welcome, sis.
With the rest of the coordinators finished their round, only Lucia, who was the last one to do the job.
Commentator: Now let's welcome our last performer, Lucia Wood! She has already got one Ribbon, can she win another one this time?
Taking a deep breath, she walked to the stage with a nervous yet confident smile. Even if she loses today, there would always be another chance.
Lucia: Come out, Ralts! And use Life Dew.
When Ralts came, it spun around before landing on the ground as a green lightwave started to expand and formed a circle around it.
Commentator: Wow, what a beautiful entrance!
Most of the audience agreed with it as they had high hopes for her.
Lucia: Now, use Double Team.
Several Ralts could be seen as the started to run in a circle around Lucia with half of them jumped, while the other half stayed on the ground. They would switch the position every time the one who jumped landed on the ground. Lucia did a little dance herself as she said.
Lucia: Now let's finish this with Psybeam!
All of the Ralts stopped as they shot out a beautiful beam that seemed to sparkle, they aimed right above Lucia, who was still smiling.
When all of the beam connected to each other, all of the fake disappeared as the real one exploded and several sparkles begin to fall down.
The audience cheers her on as they were enchanted by another wonderful performance. Lucia herself got a few fans from the show and the previous one.
Commentator: That was beautiful. Now, let's see what our judges have to say.
Mr. Contesta: It was a great performance, though, there were a few moves you could use with Double Team that would make it better such as Double Team and Life Dew combined.
Mr. Sukizo: I really like your entrance, truly remarkable.
Nurse Joy: I think that your performance was very good, but alas, I would love to see more moves being used. Otherwise, it was a wonderful performance.
Commentator: Well, let's see how many points Lucia would score.
Lucia became nervous yet again as she waited patiently along with Ralts for the result. At least it was better than the last time where she almost had a heart attack from the results.
The point came out from each vote with Mr. Contesta giving her 9.2 points, Mr. Sukizo 9.4, and Nurse Joy 9.3. The overall points she got was 27.9, which is one of the highest. This made her smile even wider as she let out a sigh before bowing to the judges before leaving the stage.
When she arrived at the waiting room again, she was greeted by her brother, who congrats her on her performance.
There would be a break before the second part of the contest. They would try and get some air, but when they opened the door, Lucia accidently bumped into someone as she took a few steps back and didn't fall.
Lucia: S-Sorry for bumped into you!
Soul: It's fine. It was my fault too.
Taking a look into who she bumped into, she saw a familiar person.
