Pokémon: The system says it is a modifier

"Judges! I want to report that person! He gave his Magikarp King a flat tangerine fruit!"

When it was the turn of a red-haired young man in front of Yue Chengfeng to take the stage, after he finished showing off his Carp King, the red-haired young man suddenly pointed at the short young man and said loudly to the judges' table.

Pinggan fruit is a specialty fruit from Pinggan Island in the Orange Islands. The Pokémon on the island are used to eating this fruit, and their whole bodies will appear pink.

If a Pokémon from other places eats a small amount of Pingan Fruit, part of its body tissue will turn pink in a short period of time, and this phenomenon will gradually return to its original state over time.

The short young man fed his carp king tangerine fruit, probably for the purpose of getting away with it.After all, although Magikarp with pink dorsal fin is not as rare as Pokémon of different colors, it is still rare.

"You... I, what's wrong with me feeding flat tangerines to my Carp King? My Carp King just likes to eat tangerines. Can you care?"

The short young man who was pointed out by the red-haired young man suppressed his blush and stuttered in retort.

"Hmph, who knows if you are going to cheat by using flat tangerine fruit! And what you do is very unfair to other contestants! From the three judges, I strongly recommend that this person be disqualified from the competition!"

The red-haired young man snorted coldly and expressed his opinions to the referee righteously.

Because the distance was a bit far away, Yue Chengfeng couldn't hear the voices on the judges' table clearly, but what could be seen was that the three judges seemed to have differences during the communication. Miss Joy kept trying to stick to her own opinions, but the other two After some whispering some agreement was reached.

"Ahem... Trainer, please don't be too excited! Our criteria for judging quality are very comprehensive and need to take into account many factors... In short, it is not a big deal that King Carp likes to eat flat tangerine fruits. question."

The old fisherman sitting in the middle of the judges' table cleared his throat and spoke slowly.

The short, fat middle-aged man sitting on the right side of the judges' table also said solemnly: "Besides, although you two have disputes, your Magikarp Kings are both excellent, and they should both get good rankings in the end. There must be a lot of competition between trainers." Peace is the most precious thing, so there is no need to dwell on these innocuous details."

The red-haired young man's expression suddenly changed. After snorting, he took back his Magikarp and walked off the stage without saying a word.

Yue Chengfeng then remembered that in the first round just now, when the short young man brought his Carp King on stage, except for Miss Joy, the other two judges just took a casual look and gave high scores.

Combined with the judges' reactions when the red-haired young man raised objections, Yue Chengfeng vaguely sensed something was wrong.

"Good guy, looking at this posture, I guess someone is probably trying to operate in secret!"

Guessing is just a guess, Yue Chengfeng doesn't want to be a standout like the red-haired young man for the time being, and besides, he has full confidence in his heterochromatic Magikarp.

After more than an hour, the second round of competition finally ended.

Although the scores for the second round have not yet been made public, Yue Chengfeng believes that his Magikarp not only has a bright appearance, but also has the highest water splash jump, and is even four or five meters higher than the second tallest Magikarp. There’s no reason why you can’t win the championship, right?

"Okay, everyone, after two rounds of fierce competition, our judges finally gave the scores of all the Magikarp participating in the second round..."

The host returned to the stage and prepared to announce the results of the competition.

When Yue Chengfeng turned to look at the judges' table, he saw the old fisherman and the short, fat middle-aged man holding hands and smiling at each other. Miss Joy puffed her cheeks and turned her head away, looking unhappy.

"...Now, I announce that the final winner of this Magikarp competition is - Kazuo Ayukawa and his Magikarp!"

When he heard the name of the winner, Tsukishima Kaede almost laughed out loud, but immediately he frowned again, because the guy named Ayukawa Kazuo was the short man who secretly fed Magikarp the fruit. youth.

Yue Chengfeng never imagined that his strange-colored Carp King would lose to such a guy.

Just when Yue Chengfeng wanted to ask the judges for an explanation, the red-haired young man who had raised objections before had already stood up first, ran up to the stage, grabbed the microphone from the host's hand, pointed at Ayukawa Kazuo and said loudly and indignantly :

"Is this game fair? Is this how you judge it? What this guy just did can be considered cheating! I will never approve of losing to such a person!"

The red-haired young man's views were agreed upon by many contestants and onlookers, and many people began to boo, shouting words such as "shady" and "unfair".

The three judges were all a little panicked when they saw this. Miss Joy stamped her feet angrily, got up and left the judges' table.

After the remaining two people looked at each other, the old man stepped onto the stage and took over the host's position, saying a few high-sounding words in an attempt to ease the atmosphere; while the middle-aged man quietly walked behind the scenes.

This red-haired guy is really a bit tough!Yue Chengfeng sighed in his heart while shouting along with the crowd, and at the same time he became interested in the development of the situation.

"Trainer, could you please lend me a moment to speak?"

Hearing the obscure voice behind him, Yue Chengfeng turned his head. Standing behind him was the host who didn't know when he would step down.

"Oh, what do you want from me?"

Yue Chengfeng felt that the host was probably on the same side as the unfair judges, so he didn't give a good look.

"It's like this. The general person in charge of the sponsor, that is, the gentleman sitting at the judges' table just now, has something to discuss with you. I wonder if you can follow me to the backstage to discuss it in detail?"

The host's attitude was very respectful, but there was a hint of arrogance and strength in his tone, which made Yue Chengfeng very uncomfortable.

"Okay, help me lead the way."

Yue Chengfeng smiled meaningfully and spread his hands to the host.

The host didn't take Yue Chengfeng's expression to heart. He bowed his body and led Yue Chengfeng to squeeze out of the crowd and go around to the backstage of the competition.The short, fat, middle-aged man who was at the judges' table before was already waiting there.

"Hello, nice to meet you. This is my business card."

Seeing Yue Chengfeng, the middle-aged man nodded slightly, put one hand behind his back, and took out a business card from his chest pocket with the other hand, and handed it to Yue Chengfeng casually.

Yue Chengfeng did not take the business card from the other party's hand. He just looked at the middle-aged man expressionlessly and said calmly: "Please tell me directly. What do you want to see me for?"

"Hey, how dare you talk to Mr. Buchuan like this? Do you know who Mr. Buchuan is..."

The host, who had been respectful before, stopped pretending now and bared his teeth at Yue Cheng Feng like a loyal pug.

"Oh, it turns out your surname is Bu Chuan! Then I probably know the truth of the matter."

Yue Chengfeng crossed his arms and raised a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth.

Now it seems obvious that the reason why the man named Ayukawa Kazuo was able to win No. 1 and not be punished even if he cheated was 100% due to the middle-aged man in front of Aritsuki Kaede.

"Young people, it's best to be respectful when talking to your elders, especially when facing elders who are in authority."

Mr. Buchuan, who was short and fat, flicked his business card on the ground with a flick of his finger, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

"I'm looking for you because I really have something to discuss."
