Pokémon: My Online Friend Is Cynthia

Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Shocking the Crowd!

Lead singer: Mawile

Special effects Spritzee

Lighting: Morelull

Merchandising: Milcery

Dancer: Julian

Julian felt that his band’s configuration was basically complete.

Tomorrow, they could begin their first rehearsal.

That would allow him to openly bring Noibat and Axew along to practise Dragon Dance.

Morelull was very excited.

"Milcery, we can join a band!"

A pure white Milcery flew down from the treetop.

"Really?"

This Milcery seemed a little strange. Julian did not smell even the slightest fragrance from her.

Could a Milcery without fragrance still count as a Milcery?

But that was not important.

The more problematic the band was, the further Julian felt they could go!

"Morelull, Milcery, you should know about the orchard that recently appeared on the island, right? Please come to the orchard tomorrow morning."

"We’ll begin our band’s first rehearsal."

Morelull and Milcery nodded excitedly.

"We’ll definitely be there tomorrow!"

Forming a band was not only something Dragon Pokémon on the island wanted to do.

Fairy Pokémon wanted to do the same!

But it was actually even harder for Fairy Pokémon to form bands.

Everything had to be refined to perfection.

For example, in Florges’s performance, only five carefully chosen Flabébé were allowed to sing harmony.

The other Flabébé and Floette could only guide the audience from the side and handle special effects.

Although their lives were more clearer-headed than those of the Dragon Pokémon, they were also more painful in a way.

After making the agreement, Julian and Noibat left Morelull’s home.

Noibat asked excitedly, "Can I join the band?"

Julian nodded.

"You can. But if you evolve, I’ll still need you to leave this randomly assembled, very problematic band."

Noibat shook its head.

"Being able to form a band with you is already good enough. As for leaving, we can talk about that after I evolve."

Early the next morning, Julian went to the place Mawile had mentioned to find her.

Mawile had not expected Julian to come so quickly.

She said a little nervously, "Are we rehearsing today?"

Yesterday, she had been so excited someone invited her to form a band that she had focused only on being happy.

Only after Mawile returned home did she remember one thing.

She did not know Disarming Voice!

If she did not know Disarming Voice, how was she supposed to be the lead singer?

Mawile could only force herself to go with Julian for the first rehearsal of the Cry-or-Laugh Band.

Spritzee released an enticing fragrance.

Spritzee had eaten who knew how many fruits from the orchard to grow that fragrance to such intensity.

"Spritzee, show everyone what you can do first."

She nodded, suddenly sprang up, and beat her wings, releasing waves of pink fragrance that spread out around her.

Sweet Scent and Fairy Wind.

Spritzee used both quite well.

Julian was somewhat surprised.

Was there actually one reliable member?

"Morelull, Flash."

Morelull took a deep breath, and the surrounding sunlight was absorbed into his body.

It felt as though the sunlight itself bent because of his inhalation.

Julian blinked.

What’s going on?

A sense of danger came over him, and Julian instinctively followed his intuition and closed his eyes.

But even with his eyes shut, Julian still felt as if he saw the sun rising beside him.

He had casually found one Morelull, and it turned out to be this good at shining and radiating heat?

Every band member, aside from Julian and Milcery, who already knew Morelull’s ability, was moved to tears.

Julian did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Morelull, is that Flash or Solar Beam?"

Morelull was a little embarrassed.

"Sorry. I’m a little defective compared to other Morelull. During the day, I can absorb more light."

"That causes me to be far too dazzling when I shine."

Julian was somewhat surprised. With such outstanding battle ability, Morelull had not been absorbed into the combat forces behind the scenes?

If this were the real world and Julian encountered a Morelull with such exaggerated talent, he would definitely catch it without hesitation.

With Morelull’s talent, a little training would allow him to fire Solar Beam instantly.

But Grass-type Solar Beam really was not a talent Fairy Pokémon would value much.

Dragon types resisted Grass. Solar Beam could not deal much damage to them.

It might not even be as useful as Fairy Wind.

"Milcery, show your talent. Scatter some cream around."

Milcery nodded and began spinning on the spot. Then little specks of cream were flung out.

Julian touched the cream on his face and put it into his mouth to taste it.

Flavourless cream.

How was she supposed to attract an audience with that as merchandise?

Mawile let out a breath of relief.

So she was not the only one dragging everyone down.

Now she could relax.

"Mawile, it’s your turn."

Mawile immediately stood straight, then began singing.

Unlike Mawile’s usual speaking voice, once she sang, her voice became extremely husky and weathered.

It was completely different from the sweet, gorgeous style currently popular on Fairy Island.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mawile quietly stopped singing.

"I’m sorry. I’ll leave now. Please find another lead singer."

Julian hurriedly called out to stop her.

"Wait. This is exactly the style I need!"

Mawile froze.

"A voice like mine can be the lead singer?"

Julian nodded.

"That’s right. This is a performance style called rock."

"Spritzee, the special effects you release need to change style too. You’ll need to eat some grapes that can turn your Fairy Wind purple, and make the wind carry a little spiciness."

"You’ll need to make a small sacrifice and eat some spicy Eggplant Berries. Is that alright?"

Spritzee nodded.

"No problem!"

"As for Milcery, the issue of flavour no longer matters. You need to eat some Ice-type Berries so your cream can make people shiver."

"When Pokémon eat it, they should suddenly get a jolt."

"Morelull, you don’t need to change. Your style matches rock very well."

Everyone still did not understand.

"What kind of music is rock, exactly?"

Julian smiled slightly.

"Truth. Wildness. A roar from the heart! After everyone hears our music, they’ll be able to find themselves again and feel their pulse return!"

Everyone had expressions that said they did not understand, but were deeply shocked.

...

Although each member had their own problems, Julian truly managed to bring the Cry-or-Laugh Band together.

Every day, Axew rolled around on the ground as a backing dancer, already transforming from a ball into a cylinder.

He had lost quite a bit of weight.

Mawile was a little nervous.

"Gible, we’ve only rehearsed for half a month. Isn’t it a little too early to go on stage now?"

Julian smiled slightly.

"Mawile, we, Cry-or-Laugh, are the best!"

Most of the Pokémon that came to eat Berries chose to come and watch when they heard there would be a performance at the orchard tonight.

They were giving Julian face.

The arrival of the audience made all the members of Cry-or-Laugh nervous.

"It’s time. Everyone, get on stage and start performing."

Morelull opened first. Fierce light spread out, making everyone narrow their eyes unconsciously.

After that, Spritzee scattered a thick purple-black fragrance. The strange colour combination made the audience curious.

The faint spiciness made their spirits lift even more.

Mawile passionately opened her mouth!

At the very front of the stage, Julian danced with Morelull’s light.

Milcery descended from the sky, furious and ferocious.

The cold cream made the audience clear-headed, then fall into an even more feverish excitement.

But the one affected most was actually Julian.

He unexpectedly lost control of the power inside his body and began evolving on the spot!
