Chapter 421: Become the League Champion for a While
For a competition that is more artistic than competitive, the audience will not have a boiling reaction.
It's just that after searching the Internet for the blurry photo from four years ago, and looking at the winding body of the dragon, which is mostly hidden in the iceberg and white fog, and is vivid and domineering against the backdrop of the polar-like gorgeous light curtain and stars, the blurry image in the photo gradually becomes fuller.
For a while, the venue was silent, and everyone was intoxicated by this special ice sculpture.
After a while.
"Ahem."
Ye Ci, who broke the silence with a light cough, took the lead in raising the score board.
"I give it 20 points."
Ye Ci smiled slightly.
Obviously, she was very satisfied with Luo Mu's work. Through this work, she successfully witnessed the domineering of the sky dragon that could not be seen in the blurry image.
This made Ye Ci once again determined the important policy of making friends with the Bud Crown King who could defeat Rayquaza, not to mention that Luo Mu had a good relationship with her.
Of course, the 20 points she gave were not entirely due to the relationship. At least the sky dragon carved by Luo Mu really shocked Ye Ci's heart.
After Ye Ci started, he was silent for a few seconds, and the other three judges gave their scores and comments in turn.
"I give 19 points. The grandeur of this ice sculpture is exactly what I like. If the craftsmanship is more exquisite, it will be even better. This is also my investment."
"I give 18 points. The shortcomings in terms of craftsmanship are still too obvious, but the flaws do not outweigh the merits. The work of contestant No. 25 is indeed refreshing."
"I give 19 points. Both the theme and the light effects attached to the Pokémon moves are very suitable for the work, which neutralizes the shortcomings of the craftsmanship very well. Especially the object of the sculpture has been changed to the legendary Pokémon Sky Dragon Rayquaza. To be frank, as a member of the Hoenn region, I want to move this ice sculpture back for exhibition."
Including Ye Ci, the total score given by the four judges has reached 76 points.
If Luo Mu wants to beat Shahua, he must get a high score of 20 points from the last judge, Mrs. Osha, the president of the World Ice Sculpture Association, who has the most discerning vision.
Even though they have experienced many large and small competitions, Shahua and the three Pokémon can't help but slow down their breathing and stare at Mrs. Osha who is silent with her eyes closed.
Laplace and Maraura didn't care that Edelweiss was once their teacher, and looked at it with a face full of complaints.
Look, if you hadn't been idle and ran to recruit disciples to teach Aurora Curtain, you wouldn't have established such a big enemy for your own trainer.
Edelweiss felt a little guilty, flapped its wings a few times, and refuted with a low-frequency insect chirp-
I didn't want to either, who knew that Vulpix suddenly wanted to evolve, and with the help of evolution, he mastered the Aurora Curtain in one breath, which should have taken some time to master.
But no matter how Edelweiss refuted, Laplace and Maraura had unilaterally classified it as a war criminal.
After a long while, Mrs. Osha opened her eyes, as if she had made some kind of decision, and whispered: "I give .18 points."
Instantly, the murmurs of discussion around her stagnated.
Everyone started to calculate at the same time.
18+76=94 is only one point away from Shahua's total score of 95 points.
The next moment.
Shahua's loyal fans cheered.
But Shahua herself was stunned, and the joy of victory on her face was very light.
Mrs. Osha was her guide in ice sculpture, equivalent to a master, but now, she lost to Luo Mu, who was obviously a novice, in the score given by the master.
Even though there was a jubilant noise around her, Shahua's brows never relaxed. She didn't understand why she lost to Luo Mu.
Ye Ci's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
It's not that I think Osa's score is too low, but it's surprising that Osa only gave 16 points to Shahua's highly completed work, and gave Luo Mu 18 points.
Is it the blessing of the legendary elves, or is it because of his own face?
Ye Ci waited for Osa's comments with some curiosity.
After giving the score, Osa thought for a moment, glanced at Shahua who had been looking at her, shook her head, and said: "The work of contestant No. 25 Luo Mu, admittedly, I was not shocked when I first saw his work, but I held the same opinion as other judges, thinking that his skills were too immature."
"But in this immaturity, he has put his inspiration into practice with the power of Pokémon. To put it more bluntly, I think his potential and spirituality in ice sculpture are well demonstrated in this work."
"I believe that in time, when his skills are honed and his personal style is solid, there will be another ice sculpture master in the ice sculpture world."
"So, I am willing to vote for this potential contestant. He can get such a ranking in a conference of this scale for his first debut. I look forward to your future."
On the side.
Finding that his score was one point behind Shahua, Luo Mu did not seem to be very disappointed.
After the white mist summoned by the Bud Crown dissipated, he looked at the somewhat lost Pokémon, stroked their heads one by one, and smiled brightly.
"Don't forget, we are here to experience the atmosphere of the competition. Winning or losing is not important. Not only did we create two days of memories, but Vulpix also evolved into Ninetails, and even won the second place. Isn't this great?"
Ray Crown King also rode his Blizzard Horse forward a few steps, echoing Luo Mu's words: "Let's take a group photo in front of the ice sculpture later."
To be honest, Ray Crown King has been itching to do it for a long time.
On the farm, he often borrowed a camera from Luo Mu, and then found Zhihuixing to ask him about his photography skills.
With telekinesis, taking photos will be more convenient. The well-prepared Ray Crown King decided to take the best photo today and put it in Luo Mu's album!
At this time, Luo Mu was a little flattered to hear Mrs. Osha's encouraging evaluation.
Good guy, even experts in the professional field recognize it so much, maybe he really has some talent for carving?
Winning the second place in one week of debut, giving himself some more time, wouldn't it be heaven?
The night is getting darker.
A relatively simple award ceremony was held.
Luo Mu, Shahua and the guy with 92 points stood on the podium and took the certificates and medals printed with the official seal of the World Ice Sculpture Association in turn.
Then, Ye Ci, who was in charge of awarding the prizes, handed them the prizes.
Luo Mu's second prize was a "cold rock" that could extend the duration of snow or hail weather for Pokémon, and a check for a bonus of 500,000 Alliance coins.
Holding the certificate, silver medal, cold rock and check, Luo Mu's smile was almost to his ears.
He just came out to experience life, not only did he get so many prizes, but his Vulpix also evolved into a Ninetail, and he also met the Snow Hat Monster and the Blizzard King and his wife.
It's a great deal!
After accepting the photo opportunity, Luo Mu was about to take a photo with the Pokémon when he was stopped by Shahua.
"Can I delay you for a while?"
"Oh, no problem."
Luo Mu nodded gently. For Shahua, the trainer of the snow moth who taught the Ninetail Aurora Curtain, Luo Mu had to agree to this request.
Shahua took out her mobile phone and smiled, "Exchange contact information."
Luo Mu:?
As if she also realized that there was some ambiguity, Shahua brushed her hair behind her ears and whispered: "I have a husband and children. I want to exchange contact information with you only because Mrs. Osha said that you are a potential ice sculptor. If there is anything you don't understand in the future, you can contact me by phone."
"Please don't bury your talent."
Luo Mu looked at Shahua. For some reason, he always felt that this person seemed to be relieved of something.
However, what Shahua said was indeed correct.
Later, I also planned to carve some ice sculptures occasionally for fun. It is always good to know a professional.
Thinking of this, Luo Mu replied: "Okay."
After a while.
With a mobile phone with an extra contact, Luo Mu walked through the crowd and came to his work area, which had a slightly lower flow of people than Shahua next door with fans.
This place has been isolated from the audience by the staff sent by the organizer with isolation belts, and someone is directing on the spot.
Seeing Luo Mu coming, many people petitioned to let Luo Mu perform the previous performance again. They wanted to take some more photos.
Luo Mu readily agreed.
Anyway, they had to use that combination of moves for the sake of atmosphere when taking photos here, and by the way, it would not be a big deal to let other viewers who came from afar to this cold Frost-smeared Mountain take a few photos.
If possible, Luo Mu even wanted to exhibit his works to the world.
He called the Bud Crown King, and asked the Blue Flame Blade Demon, Mimikyuu, Snow Blizzard Horse, Regiace, Nine-Tailed Fox, Sandslash King and his wife, and Blizzard King and his wife to stand in line with the Snow Hat Monster.
Everything was ready, Luo Mu walked to the center of the team, and the combination of white mist, aurora curtain and magic shining bloomed again.
The Blue Flame Blade Demon silently found the right angle and posed for a handsome and cool photo pose that matched his own treasure design.
Mimikyuu happily jumped onto Luo Mu's shoulder, snickering, now only Mimikyuu was left on Luo Mu's shoulder!
After the Nine-Tail evolved, it was like its mother, with a bit more dignity and elegance, and less childishness than when it was Vulpix. Regardless of whether this was a temporary act, the Nine-Tail was indeed elegant and frightening.
The yellow dots on Regiace's face flashed at a very fast speed, and it stood straight and stiff, as if its processor was still calculating what "taking a photo" meant.
The Sandshrew and his wife always felt empty in their arms, but since it was for the safety of their children, they could only endure it.
The Snowstorm Horse under the Bud Crown was still emoting alone at this time.
The socially anxious Blizzard King and his wife stood in the team at a loss.
Would it be bad for them to join other people's family portraits like this?
The Snow Hat Monster happily held his parents' hands, and the two "clicks" and "clicks" scared the Blizzard King and his wife.
Translating the Snow Hat Monster's cry, the general meaning is this--
We have been a family for a long time~ In fact, privately, I have agreed to Luo Mu's plan to move our family!
Blizzard King and his wife: Σ(°Д°;
Has it been sold?!
At this time, Luo Mu's voice sounded.
"Get ready, 1, 2, 3, eggplant~!"
The highly concentrated Bud Crown King relied on the terrifying observation ability of the legendary elves to press the shutter with the telekinesis composed of spiritual energy at the most appropriate moment.
A click.
A beautiful photo filled with various emotions, but mostly smiles, and the domineering Ice Sky Dragon behind the person in the photo was taken here.
The far-reaching impact of this ice sculpture conference was far beyond many people's expectations.
A few days later.
Hoenn region.
City of Larousse.
In a research institute, Dr. Lundo looked at the photos that were widely circulated in the Hoenn area with a thoughtful look on his face.
He remembered that four years ago, there was a fierce battle between the ice sculpture-like Pokémon and the Pokémon from the universe, which also led to the death of his son.
Holding his forehead and sighing, Dr. Londo's eyes fell on the crystal in the transparent instrument in the center of the research institute, or the Pokémon called Deoxys.
He murmured in a low voice: "If it is allowed to regenerate, will the huge flying dragon chase it to Larus City?"
"The ice sculptor in Padea might know something."
Meteor Falls.
After the Yulong clan caused chaos, they were sent back to Meteor Falls, and the people of Meteor were asked to pay a lot of compensation. Xijana, who is now in confinement alone, looked at the photos displayed on the mobile phone brought by Xijana. , frowning slightly.
"Has that person ever seen Lord Dragon God Rayquaza?"
Liuli City.
Inside the Liuli Gym.
Wearing a white hat, with smooth green hair, and a slender and well-proportioned figure, the handsome man slid his slender fingers on the tablet, then quickly double-clicked to pause and freeze the video at a certain moment.
Pulling his fingers apart to zoom in, Mikri's considering gaze stayed on the Nine-Tails that elegantly used the aurora curtain and magic sparkle, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"Let's leave aside the ancient legends of the sky god Rayquaza and the legendary giant Regice in the Hoenn region."
"That nine-tailed one is quite suitable for the gorgeous contest."
"It seems that if there is a chance, we can negotiate with the Padia Alliance to see if we can expand the radiation area of the Magnificent Competition."
"It would be refreshing if the Nine-Tails could also appear."
"Miru?"
Next to Mikri, Menas, known as the most beautiful Pokémon, wrapped his right hand with his beautiful fan-like tail and gave a gentle reminder.
Michaeli knew what Menas meant, and he smiled helplessly.
"My sweet honey, your advice is really to the point."
"Yes, even if I am currently the leader of the Liuli Gym and the coordination master, my status is not enough to negotiate cooperation with an alliance."
"but."
Mikri stood up and stretched his extremely flexible waist for a man.
"My good friend Daigo is probably getting tired of being the champion. I'm afraid he wants to hide in the deep mountains and old forests immediately to dig for his rocks."
"That's right. Let's be the champions of the Hoenn League for a while."
