On a bench in the square of Chong City.
Lu Ye was still pondering why he met Xiaozhi.
The fountain shone in the sun, and the water created a rainbow. Pokebee, Ya Ya, and Pikachu lined up at the edge of the fountain, standing on their tiptoes to maintain their balance.
Geng Gui was rubbing his face and wagging his tongue at the water. The mirror-like surface of the water reflected the speechless Dakley.
Xiaozhi held an ice cream and said to Sirona, "To be honest, I was shocked when I saw you and Mr. Lu."
"Why?" Sirona replied.
"Because." Xiaozhi swallowed an ice cream ball and said vaguely, "Didn't Mr. Big Ye say that you were on your honeymoon in Carlos?"
Sirona paused for a moment, and her snow-white cheeks turned pink. She said in a low voice, "Well … I was planning to, but …"
However, he would have to propose first.
Alice, who was sitting between the two of them, looked back and forth between Mr. Lu and Sirona. She felt that the world of adults was very complicated. She suddenly suggested.
"Champion of Bamboo Orchid, let's have a match!"
"Huh?" Sirona looked over in surprise.
Alice stood up, stretched out her arm, and put Ya Ya on her shoulder. She smiled brightly.
"This child and I want to become the Dragon's Emissary, so we want to learn from your Land Shark!"
Mr. Lu licked his ice cream with a calm expression.
As expected of the future champion of the group, Alice was very brave.
"No problem."
Sirona thought for a moment, smiled, and agreed to Alice's request.
Mr. Lu suddenly realized that Sirona also liked to beat up newbies. She once used the Land Shark to defeat Shinji in a 1v6 fight.
He looked at the beautiful blonde with curved eyes and a gentle smile.
Under the mirror-like surface of the water, Dakley had a complicated expression.
This champion couple was really ruthless when it came to educating newbies …
"Come out, Land Shark!"
Sirona took out a pokeball from her black wide-legged trousers and threw it into the air. A beam of red light fell from the ball.
"Ka Ao!" The Fierce Bite Land Shark waved its twin scythes, its eyes scarlet and its aura sharp.
Fang Ya, who was on Alice's shoulder, was stunned. He looked at Alice, whose face was filled with fighting spirit.
"Ya! Ya! E (. Д.) Ah! "
I think you can't wait to send me to the Elf Center!
"In that case," Xiaozhi said excitedly, "Pikachu, let's fight with Mr. Lu!"
"Pikachu …" Pikachu stood at the edge of the fountain and turned his head in a daze.
Xiaozhi, why don't you do it yourself?
Bada!
He seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism.
Lu Ye slowly got up with a friendly smile on his face. Beside him stood Sirona with one hand on her waist.
"It's a doubles match, right?" Lu Ye asked with a smile.
Alice and Xiaozhi said, "That's right!"
Pikachu and Fang Ya: Σ (っ ° Д °;) っ
If N was here, he would be moved to tears by the fate of his Pokémon companions.
But Mr. Lu always had Resurrection Grass at home. If he was worried about lowering his intimacy level, he still had Vitality Blocks.
Lu Ye slowly unbuttoned his sleeves and rolled them up. Then, he took out the pokeball.
"Before the Phoenix King Cameraman recorded it in the movie …"
Lu Ye thought to himself.
"Let's beat up the Level 5 Pikachu to vent our anger!"
"Let's go, Pikachu and Fang Ya!"
The two babies jumped onto the battlefield and looked at each other with different expressions.
Sirona stared at Xiaozhi and Alice. Her fighting spirit suddenly changed. Her gray eyes under her blonde hair were deep. She said in a low voice,
"Fierce Bite Land Shark, Dragon God Dive!"
Lu Ye put one hand in his pocket and sensed with Super Power.
"Geng Gui, Dark Hole (control your strength, don't attract the renovation team)!"
Geng Gui floated in front of Pikachu, and a small black hole appeared in his hand. "Koujie ~!!!"
"Ka!" The Fierce Bite Land Shark was like a jet fighter. The purple dragon shadow roared toward Fang Ya.
Bang!!
[Water Arrow Turtle's healing wave …]
Lu Ye was in a good mood. "What a pleasant battle."
Sirona smiled and said, "I see the bond between you, Xiaozhi, Alice."
Xiaozhi and Alice said, "We will continue to work hard!"
Fang Ya and Pikachu: o (̄ ﹏ ̄) o
"Merlot ~" Merlot floated in the air with a smile. She listened to the voices and narrowed her jade-like eyes.
Da Klei crossed his arms and glanced at Merlot, who was smiling happily.
Lu Ye's body was also very special.
He could meet these rare legendary elves every time.
Wait … Then, wouldn't he meet other legendary elves in the future?!
Da Klei said, "… Bodyguard job, you have to pay more!"
**
The double fight in Liyong City Square attracted a lot of attention.
Homika, who had white hair in a braid and was wearing a large purple long-sleeved shirt, carried the electric bass on his back and climbed over the railing with his riveted boots. He looked up at Mr. Lu.
"I heard from my men that someone was causing trouble here, so I came to check it out," Homika said with a headache.
Homika said with a headache, "In the end, it was Teacher Lu and the little brat …"
"Senior Homika, we meet again!" Xiaozhi greeted.
"Oh …" Homika glanced at Xiaozhi and said, "I will take back the poison badge I gave you last time if you don't perform well."
"Don't worry, Pikachu and I won't let the badge down!"
Lu Ye looked down at Homika and asked curiously, "You lost to Xiaozhi?"
"It's not a loss, it's the club owner's approval!"
Homika replied angrily. He looked at Sirona and whispered, "What are you doing in Liyong City?"
"We're here to watch your concert," Sirona said with a smile. "Homika, do your best tonight."
"Oh …" Homika looked at the bright and gentle smile and blushed slightly. He said, "Tonight, it's not rock music tonight … It's a concert I promised the director of the theater to perform for him."
"Doesn't that mean you'll wear a pretty dress?"
Alice looked at Homika with sparkling eyes. "Miss Homika, I'm looking forward to it! By the way, do you need me to record a video for you? "
Homika didn't want people to see his side outside of rock music. He scratched his head and said, "The fewer people, the better."
Lu Ye touched his chin. He was thinking about something else. He said cheerfully,
"We're all members of the group. Can we get free tickets for the concert?"
Homika was confused.
Homika seemed to have thought of something. He narrowed his eyes and grinned.
"Yes, but Mr. Lu … you and I will perform together!"
Lu Ye paused for a moment and replied,
"Geng Gui's performance is okay, but Mr. Lu's performance is not."
"The relatives and friends of the performers can watch the concert for free —"
Homika crossed his arms and said matter-of-factly, "Besides, Mr. Lu, don't you know how to play many instruments?"
"Besides, you don't have to worry about embarrassing yourself. It's an invited concert anyway."
Homika whispered, "It's for the director of the theater who's retiring. He took care of me a lot. That's why I know how to play the cello … "
Because he learned it when he was young, he hated the cello and preferred rock music. Homika skipped the second half of his sentence.
Mr. Lu fell into deep thought. He was professional in every instrument … [Performance Level 3] wasn't the best, but it was good enough.
Lu Ye looked at Sirona inquiringly.
"I'm looking forward to it." Sirona smiled.
"Keke, keke!" Geng Gui said excitedly, "I'll sing for my master."
Lu Ye calmly pressed Geng Gui into his shadow and sensed.
"I'll let you sing the 'Song of Perdition' during the competition."
"Keke ~ (̄) ̄) ̄" (I have no choice but to forgive you.) "
Trainers were also categorized as [Pokémon Musicians]. Some people regarded it as a branch of [Performer], while others thought it was a [Coordinator].
The bard Shang Zhi that Lu Ye had met before was a musician. The evil dojo master, Nie Zi, was a well-known tenor in Galil.
The partners of these trainers were usually Sonic Boomers, String Trembling Salamanders, Fatty Ding … maybe Geng Gui was one too.
He agreed to perform tonight.
Lu Ye and the others arrived at the Liyong City Grand Theater. The notice board indicated that tonight's concert was going to be held.
"Is it really okay to change the performers so easily?" Lu Ye asked Homika.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Homika egged Mr. Lu on. "We're all invited friends. Besides, aren't you a musician too? You might as well be an EDM rapper instead of showing your cowardice in this kind of situation! "
Lu Ye was speechless.
He felt that the EDM and rap enthusiast Jack Ma's reputation had been ruined.
Turning around, Sirona looked at him with a smile and nodded gently.
"Good luck, Mr. Lu."
"Don't shout in this kind of situation, Little Zhi."
"Huh? You're the one who's shouting. "
Alice and Little Zhi looked at each other with sparks flying. They couldn't wait to beat each other up.
"That's enough." Sirona gently stopped them and smiled. "How about I treat you guys to ice cream? I saw that they were selling it outside. "
"Didn't we just have ice cream in the afternoon?" Lu Ye was stunned.
"That was in the afternoon, now is now," Sirona said matter-of-factly as she crossed her arms.
Lu Ye chuckled.
Cute girl who loves to eat ice cream, very cute!
"Let's go, Mr. Lu." Homika grabbed Lu Ye's hand. "Come with me to change!"
"I've already agreed … Don't worry, I'll leave halfway through," Lu Ye said helplessly.
Sirona was stunned. Looking at the two people walking away, she wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
"The changing room is definitely separate, Champion of Zhu Lan," Alice said with a snicker.
"Ahem, I know." Sirona touched her chin and nodded gently.
**
The concert was set for 7: 00 p.m.
Audience members arrived one after another to chat with the theater director who was about to retire.
The director nodded with a smile and looked at the theater with a bit of reluctance.
I'm already an antique from the last century … It's always sad to see the theater renovated, but maybe this is a better way.
The director shook his head. I'm at the age of retirement.
"Hey, old man …" Homika poked his head out from behind the curtain. "Come and see if this is okay."
The director smiled with his hands behind his back. "I'm already very happy that you can come, Homika."
"I know," Homika said in a low voice. "I don't like the atmosphere of this theater, but you're a very good director. Every time my father comes, you help to smooth things over … I promise, this theater will always exist. "
"Nothing will always exist, Homika."
The director smiled kindly. "But as long as it exists, the meaning of its existence will never disappear."
Homika was stunned. He looked at the director, who had cloudy eyes, in a daze.
The director was staring at the huge, fat signboard hanging on the curtain.
"When I was young, I heard a beautiful piece of music. I've already forgotten the melody of that music, but I still remember how moved I was when I heard it. "
"Just like people and Pokémon." The director smiled. "When my companions left me, what remained in my heart was not sadness and regret, but the joy and emotion of their constant companionship."
"I … don't understand," Homika said softly.
"You'll understand eventually," the director said with a smile. "Alright, let me see what you're wearing today."
Homika walked out from behind the curtain with his head lowered. His hair was still tied in a white ponytail, but his usual large purple short-sleeved shirt had been replaced by a white dress. His cheeks were slightly red, and his chest was fair and flat. The bass in his right hand had been replaced by a violin bowstring.
"What a beautiful girl, Homika." The director smiled. "Tonight will be the last time I hear your cello music."
Homika was silent. Then, he whispered, "Actually … I invited a friend. He's playing the piano today, and I'm accompanying him. "
"Oh?" The director asked, "What's the name of the piece?"
"That was also the first time I heard that piece. Mr. Lu called it …"
Homika replied,
"'Oratheon.'"
**
Seven o 'clock in the evening.
The farewell concert officially began.
Sirona, Xiaozhi, and Alice sat in the front row.
Xiaozhi carried Pikachu on his left shoulder, Alice carried Teeth on her right shoulder, and Sirona carried Pokeby in her arms.
"Chak chak chak chak …" Pokeby's eyes twinkled as he clapped with everyone else.
Musicians came on stage one after another. The director clapped his hands gently. His eyes were filled with memories of his youth and the old theater.
Back then, he was still a reckless trainer. His partner was the timid and shy girl Gugu. Later, they went on road shows together, performed together in the theater, and finally became the director of the theater.
At this moment, sitting in the empty theater, his youth seemed to have become a dream. Only the music was still clear and moving.
The director saw the announcer come on stage.
"Next, please enjoy the ensemble piece, 'Oratheon,' performed by Lu Ye and Homika."
Some people whispered about the origins of the performers. Xiaozhi whispered, "It's Mr. Lu's turn."
Alice looked at the intersection of the lights on the stage. She covered her mouth and whispered, "Mr. Lu is so handsome …"
The black-haired young man in a well-ironed black suit with broad shoulders and a slim waist sparkled under the spotlight.
Beside him, Homika, with white braids and a white dress, hugged the cello. It was a completely different scene from the rock show.
Lu Ye sat down on the piano chair. Applause sounded at the right time. The director's eyes twinkled.
In Lu Ye, the director vaguely saw the elegance of his youth … It was a jumping hope, a firm belief, and a desire to pursue.
"Merlot …"
Merlot floated over the theater, invisible. Her wave-like emerald hair fluttered. Her eyes were fixed on the young man beside the piano.
Soft music began to play.
The entire theater was silent.
Melayeta gently closed her eyes.
The melody of 'Oratheon' was melodious and moving. Lu Ye's fingers danced on the black and white keys. Together with the sound of Homika's cello, the music echoed in the empty theater.
Sirona stared at Lu Ye on the stage. She recalled the turbulence in the Twin Towers of Time and Space and the kiss that was as plain as water under the shade of the tree. There was a smile at the corner of her mouth.
Da Klei was silent.
No one loved this piece more than him.
At this moment, Lu Ye's figure seemed to overlap with Alicia's shadow.
Da Klei took a deep breath and blinked desperately.
Geng Gui held a handkerchief in his mouth and looked at the host on the stage.
It was so nice ~
Alice: "Although I don't understand, I'm so touched ~ o (~ ﹏ ~) o"
The sound of the piano continued. The entire theater was immersed in the music.
Merlot floated quietly to Lu Ye. She put her hand on her chest, and the gem on her forehead shone slightly. Then she closed her eyes.
A wave of romantic and artistic energy was transmitted.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat.
The notes flowed like mercury, and the playing became smoother and smoother. In an instant, there was a leap in texture.
The theater director trembled.
If he had only been touched a moment ago, he could still find some flaws.
When the music entered the second half, the young man showed no reservation. There were no words that could express his emotions at this moment.
The old man gently closed his eyes and recalled his youth, his wife, and his Pokémon companions who were still alive.
At dusk, the smell of stewed potatoes wafted from home. Gu Gu was adjusting the clapper, and his wife was washing her hands while complaining about the long bill …
The old man cried silently. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. The old and pale memories suddenly became colorful.
He seemed to have heard Merlot's singing when he was a child.
The song ended.
There was an unending applause in the theater.
The audience's eyes reddened as they applauded from the bottom of their hearts. The old man took a deep breath.
Lu Ye stood up. His eyes met Sirona's, and they looked at each other and smiled.
Whoosh!
Lu Ye and Homika bowed together.
Merlot was still "invisible." She pressed her hand to her chest and floated beside Lu Ye. She bowed in unison with Lu Ye.
…
After the concert ended, Lu Ye and the others had to catch a flight that night to arrive in Lianyi Town the next morning.
Homika changed back into his punk outfit. He carried the electric bass on his back and looked up.
"Hmph … Not bad, Mr. Lu. You're a musician worthy of respect! "
Lu Ye recalled his performance ability that suddenly seemed to be cheating. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Maybe I'm a person favored by the Goddess of Art."
Homika was speechless.
Damn it, he got me!
Walking in the long corridor of the theater, Sirona held Lu Ye's arm and whispered.
"You're shining tonight."
"The stars only shine for Zhu Lan," Lu Ye said.
Sirona smiled faintly and said, "I just need one."
Intending to leave, the theater director requested a few minutes of time to talk to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye thought that he was inviting him to stay and perform. He was about to refuse when the old man handed him a folded piece of draft paper.
"I …"
After the director chose his words, he smiled kindly and said, "I like your performance very much. Because of your performance, I think of many beautiful memories … Thank you very much, Mr. Lu Ye. "
"This is." The director looked at the draft paper. "I copied the score from memory. It's a piece I heard when I was a child. I don't think anyone else can play this piece except for you. "
"I hope you can accept it … Consider it a presumptuous request," the director said with a smile.
Lu Ye had no reason to refuse the old man.
"I can't guarantee the performance just now." Lu Ye waved the score. "But I'll try my best to practice."
The director's murky eyes flickered. He nodded and said, "Please."
After saying goodbye, they left the music theater.
Lu Ye unfolded the crumpled draft paper. The notes were scribbled. It was obvious that he had written it down in a hurry for fear of forgetting it.
But he could still recognize it.
[Ancient Song (Music Score): Ancient song moves the opponent's heart to attack. Sometimes, it will make the opponent fall asleep. (When Merietta is used, the state can be changed.)]
Merietta?
Lu Ye recalled the performance just now. It was indeed a performance of Merietta's artistic ability.
Just as he was about to use the Power of Wave Guide to check carefully, Sirona said,
"There's no need to buy a ticket. We can go directly to the airport."
"Why?" Alice asked.
Sirona crossed her arms with one hand, stretched out her fingers, and said with a smile,
"Because it's a private plane."
Lu Ye:???
With Mengmeng around … This is the real reason why I don't want to work hard!
