Chapter 263: Pal and Diamond's Manzai
"Woo...it's almost night." Aislo looked up at the dark sky. It was almost evening, and they needed to go to the Pokémon Center to find a hotel to stay in.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go." Mary stretched when she arrived at the open area. She had just returned to a town with a normal climate from the boundless snow country and felt the dry heat in the air. At first, she was not quite used to it.
Oh, yes, it’s still summer now... Mary suddenly took a look at the winter clothes she and the boy next to her were wearing. Oh no, they forgot to change their clothes.
Although their special abilities make them not afraid of severe cold or scorching heat, it still looks a bit weird.
Aislo pointed to the Pokémon Center not far from the station, and then said, "Let's go find a room over there first."
I don't know if he noticed that the clothes he was wearing were not suitable for the season.
"Okay, let's go over and change our clothes." Mary nodded slightly, and the two of them set off immediately.
Fortunately, they were not the only two people who encountered such an embarrassing situation. In fact, it could be said that there were quite a few people like them, which made Aislo and Mary look less conspicuous.
Not long after, the two, already dressed and ready to go, walked out of the Pokémon Center. At this time, Eslo had changed back into his old windbreaker. The familiar outfit made him feel a little bit long-lost. However, Mary was not wearing that punk-style clothing. She wore a short-sleeved white shirt with a cute logo on it. There was a small hole on the right shoulder, revealing a little bit of her white shoulder. Her lower body was a simple short skirt and loose socks that barely covered her calves, revealing her youth and vitality, which subtly matched the girl's own temperament.
"How is it? Does it look good?" Mary turned around in front of Eslo with anticipation in her eyes.
"Yeah!" The boy responded positively.
"I knew you would say that~" Mary held her forehead helplessly. Although she said this, the smile in her eyes revealed her joy. "Let's go, let's go eat!"
"Good~"
……
The streets of Shenhe Town are quaint, and it seems that every building contains the flavor of time and history. Places such as ancestral temples and ancestral halls can often be seen. At the same time, as the hometown of the current Sinnoh champion Shirona, the tourists coming and going also add a touch of fireworks here.
All I can say is that this place is worthy of the name "a town that inherits the past". Even the interior of the hotel uses this as its signboard, replicating the classical layout and decoration.
Aislo and Mary were sitting opposite each other in a private room, their elves surrounding them, waiting for the food to be served.
At this moment, a familiar voice coming from the TV nearby attracted the attention of both of them. Mary put down her arm that was supporting her cheek and turned her head to look at the TV screen almost at the same time as Eslo.
The scene on TV is a flat stage, and there are two people standing proudly on the stage. One of them has a proud face, as if he is invincible and awesome, and there is almost no trace of acting, while the other one looks a little dazed... His acting skills are superb.
Almost instantly, Aislo recognized the identities of the two people - they were the famous manzai actors and illustrated guide holders, Pal and Diamond.
It was a wonderful feeling to see your good friends on TV. At least Eslo was really interested at this time and was ready to enjoy the performance of the two.
(The following manzai script is purely original. Any similarity is purely coincidental. Please use your imagination to fill in the gaps in the actors' movements.)
After the applause from the audience died down, Pal and Diamond greeted each other one after another.
Pal: "Thank you, everyone. Please take care of me."
Diamond: "Welcome, thank you very much."
Pal: "It's so exciting! All four shows were sold out!"
Diamond: “Hmm…”
Pal: "Ah, it's a pity that when I got on stage, there were still a few empty seats."
Diamond: "It can't be helped. There are always people who have urgent matters..."
Pal: "Why do you look so unhappy?"
Diamond: “It’s okay.”
Pal: "I don't think you look fine. Hiss... Could it be that when you met Xiao Luo some time ago, you saw that he easily learned your special skills. You were shocked, right? Why, you haven't recovered yet?"
(Eslo: Hmm? And my business?)
Diamond: "No, I was just thinking, Pal, we've been together for quite some time, right?"
Pal: "That's right. We have been practicing manzai together since we were in the womb."
Diamond: "Well... then why do I always have to play the fool? Why don't we switch roles? You play the fool and I pick the fights."
Pal: "Tsk, maybe it's because it's suitable. When I usually look for someone, I'm more or less acting. As for you... you don't even seem to be pretending."
Diamond: "Why do I feel like you are scolding me?"
Pal: "Ahem, how could that be? We are good brothers."
Diamond: "Forget it. I won't argue with you."
Paar: "Yes, yes, we still have to perform, um..."
"Um……"
Diamond: "You're hmmmm, what are you hmmmming about? Like a fly."
Pal: "That's right, well... Daiya, do you remember what the theme of our performance today is?"
Diamond: "You forgot all this?!"
Pal: "This is not...really, people always make mistakes. Why are you so excited?"
Diamond: “I forgot that, too.”
Pal: “Are you stupid?”
Diamond: “?”
Pal: "You are so stupid, bubbling, bobobo... (bubbling sound)"
Diamond: "How are you better than me?"
Pal: "Well, you know what, I am actually a little better than you."
Diamond: "Wow, what's so great about it? Why can't I see it?"
Pal: "Brother is stronger than you."
Diamond: "You are such a big shot. Who do you think you are? Look Archie in the eye next time you talk to me."
Pal: "It would be a shame to count that guy. Who in the world can beat Regichikas right now? Don't count him."
Diamond: "Why not? Being recognized by the gods is part of my strength."
Pal: "So according to what you said, how many people in the world can be your opponent?"
Diamond: "You count them yourself."
Pal: "Then let's follow the timeline. I heard that there was some trouble in Xuefeng City a few days ago. Daiya, have you heard about it?"
Diamond: "Well, Archie woke up, and was influenced by Xiao Luo's Yveltal."
Pal: "Okay, one for Aisiluo."
Diamond: "Okay, one."
Pal: "Ms. Sirona, Ms. Kaluna, Granny Orange, Professor Oak, Mr. Daigo, Mr. Adek, Mr. Watari, and Mr. Dantei are still a few points short, so they don't count."
Diamond: "Well, that doesn't count."
Pal: "Then there's... the one from Unova, N, you can't refute it, right?"
Diamond: "Yeah, two."
Pal: "Green Senior."
Diamond: “Three.”
Pal: “Okay, just three.”
Diamond: "Wait, just three?"
Pal: “Yeah, what’s wrong?”
Diamond: "Where is the world's number one senior, Red?"
Pal: "Oh yes, there is also Red, he can indeed be counted as one, but Daiya, the prefix you added in front of it doesn't seem right to me."
Diamond: "Prefix? Isn't Senior Chihong recognized as the best in the world?"
Pal: "It is true that it is universally recognized, but I have other ideas about arguing about the real first place."
Diamond: "Whose general is that?"
Pal: "Akin!"
Diamond: "Okay...wait a minute, who? Jin Laowu? Is he worthy?"
Pal: "Don't disbelieve me, I have evidence here!"
Diamond: "What evidence? Take it out and let me see it... Where did you get such a big speaker?"
Pal: "Don't worry about that. Just listen."
Loudspeaker (Ah Jin's voice): "Haha ...
Diamond: “…”
Diamond: "When did he say that?"
Pal: "Have you forgotten? When he first came back from the World's Beginning Tree, he was stimulated by something and kept talking about that person named Ah Xiang, and then he became like this."
Diamond: "You believed him when he said he was invincible?"
Pal: "Well, I didn't believe it at first, but after thinking about it, it seems to be true."
Diamond: "What's wrong? Explain it to me."
Pal: "Look, let's not talk about the others who have no record. The three people who are recognized as the top in the world are Red, Green, and Dan Emperor. If Ajin can deal with these three, can he be called invincible?"
Diamond: "In theory, there's nothing wrong with that."
Pal: "That's easy, you see, Green, the shortest reigning champion in history, what's the big deal? This is one victory! Ajin has never been a champion."
Pal: "Red is a mute who basically has to bring someone with him as an interpreter when he goes out. All Ajin needs to do is to invite him to a fight and set a fixed location. Then, he can only enter the battle site if Red speaks. Wouldn't the opponent be dumb? This is the second victory! Ajin is not a mute."
(ps: The setting here is that this Chi only speaks in front of familiar people, and is still dumb outside, so there is a joke that Chihong is a mute.)
Pal: "Dan Di is just a person with poor directions. Ajin can just pick a random battle site and then suddenly notify Dan Di. Can he still find the place within the specified time? This is the third victory! Ajin is not a person with poor directions."
Diamond: "Besides these three, what about the others?"
Pal: "That's hard to say. The others have zero wins, but Ajin has three wins, so Ajin wins again! Win and win!"
The performance ended and the two turned around.
Pal: "Friendly reminder, the above lines all come from what Ajin said, and have nothing to do with the two of us."
Diamond: "Thank you, everyone."
……
As the next program started on TV, Aislo was still in deep thought. After a long while, he looked seriously at the girl beside him, "Is it really that easy to be the world's number one?"
Mary was about to smile, but suddenly remembered that she had Yveltal by her side. She was afraid that the so-called number one in the world would be as easy as taking something out of his pocket for him.
"Ajin might be in trouble." Mary couldn't help but shake her head. That recording alone was enough to get Ajin kicked out of the circle.
"Um……"
At this time, the food on the table had been completely eaten by Aislo and Marie in the manzai performance just now. The two did not stay for long. As it was getting dark outside, they went straight back to the Pokémon Center.
Silent all night.
