Thump!
With Machamp catching the four aerialists with precision, another performance concluded with applause. The host, clapping, walked onto the stage and said, "Thank you! Thank you very much for the aerial acrobatics by Machamp and the four performers. Next up, we have a musical ensemble! Please welcome the Whismur Choir!!!"
"Whismur Choir?!" N
The sudden surprise caught many viewers off guard. As the large curtain rose, a person wearing a mask sat down at the piano. Beside them were the musicians, but most eye-catching of all were the Whismur standing on stage.
"Begin!"
"Whismur-nur-nur! Whismur-nur-nur-nur!" N
As the Whismur performed the Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Fourth Movement, also known as the legendary "Ode to Joy", the entire venue felt a true sense of awe. These Whismur were using bel canto!
Misty and Brock, shocked, listened with wide mouths to the unique performance. Suzy and Lyn closed their eyes and listened intently.
The power of music is mighty. When the Whismur finished singing "Ode to Joy", the applause roared. The event wasn't over yet; as the Whismur bowed and left the stage, a massive DJ setup rose slowly. Poochyena and Houndoom stood guard on each side, and Meowth and Pikachu, wearing DJ outfits, mixed the music. Behind them stood a group of Exploud.
"Meow! Let's start!!!"
Accompanying the DJing of Meowth and Pikachu, the Exploud began to beatbox!
In short, the performance, which could only be described as breathtaking, finally concluded after the tenor solo by Ash Ketchum's supreme Exploud. What came next was the legendary main attraction.
"Next, we have the super main attraction! Please welcome special guest, Gary Oak!!! He will perform for us the Human Cannon!!!"
Pfft!4
Upon hearing that, those who knew a bit about the situation spat out their drinks. Gary Oak performing as a guest? Don't make them laugh!
And as they thought, a tied-up Gary Oak, resembling a caterpillar, appeared before everyone. His mouth was taped shut.
"Don't worry, Gary Oak! I specially hired someone from a family of circus performers. Of course, I just met her!"
"Mmph!"
Hearing Ash Ketchum say that, Gary Oak started struggling wildly. Ash Ketchum, not giving him the opportunity, waved at Chansey, who, with a wicked grin, removed the tape from Gary Oak's mouth and threw him into the Human Cannon.
Charizard then walked over, and Ash Ketchum nodded at him. Charizard, already in sync with Ash Ketchum, nodded back and also gave a wicked grin, lighting the cannon with the flame from his tail.
"Five! Four! One!"
Boom!
"Your math teacher is crying!!!!!!"
With Gary Oak's roaring complaint, he was blasted off. Aiden, who had been prepared in the air, jumped from a rope swing and caught Gary Oak. She spun him around in the sky before throwing him towards Ash Ketchum, who instantly activated his bond with Chansey. Catching Gary Oak, Ash Ketchum threw him into the sky again. Pidgeot flashed past and caught Gary Oak. As Aiden was falling down, Absol caught her. Using the power of Absol, she landed safely in Ash Ketchum's arms.
Then, with Pidgeot's assistance, Gary Oak landed beside Ash Ketchum. Ash Ketchum quickly put his arm around Gary Oak's shoulder to prevent him from collapsing. Fortunately, Gary Oak's legs were wobbly.
"Next time, let's make it less extreme..."
"Gardevoir is helping, what do you have to fear?"
"But it was really intense..."
"Well… you're not very brave…"
"Damn you! Not everyone has a freakish amount of stamina like you!"
While the two were talking, applause rang out. The thrilling performance excited the viewers, and they clapped for Ash Ketchum and his friends from the bottom of their hearts. Ash Ketchum helped Aiden steady herself and supported Gary Oak; the performance was finally over with no major incidents.
---Line Break---
"Phew… that was scary! Can't you ever make things safe?"
"Nope, it's more fun this way!"
Backstage, Gary Oak, drinking a beverage to relax, complained to Ash Ketchum, but Ash Ketchum didn't care. In fact, Ash Ketchum had taken many precautions to ensure it was safe.
"Pika! (You need more training!)"
Pikachu patted Gary Oak on the shoulder, indicating that he needed more training. Meowth then mocked Gary Oak by saying, "Meow! You were scared by something Boss is used to? That's laughable, Meow!"
"I'm not a stamina monster like Ash Ketchum! Besides, I don't think anyone who isn't an acrobat would dare play with that Human Cannon!"
"Ash Ketchum! I want to play with that Human Cannon later!"
Lyn, who had come backstage, looked at the Human Cannon with sparkling eyes. Ash Ketchum chuckled and said, "No problem. Someone just said that no one would want to play with the Human Cannon."
Seeing Lyn so eager, Gary Oak rolled his eyes and muttered, "Two stamina monsters…"
"Lucky (What did you say?)"
"Woof! (I think I heard someone speaking ill of Ash Ketchum!)"
"Woof! (Bite him!)"
"Woof! (Burn his butt!)"
Gary Oak was surrounded by Chansey, Absol, Poochyena, and Houndoom for a single sentence.
