The waiting time passed in a flash. At exactly eight o'clock in the evening, the lights on the ceiling went out at the same time, and the entire performance hall suddenly became pitch black.
No one panicked, because everyone understood that the performance had officially begun.
With a light 'click,' as the projector was turned on, the images of Lugia and Ho-Oh were projected onto the curtain.
Under the watchful eyes of the people, the curtain was slowly raised. And as Lugia and Ho-Oh disappeared, the brightly lit and magnificent stage behind them was also revealed. The next second, a grand and stunning piece of music also sounded around the audience.
Under the spotlight, as if a golden rain were falling, a young woman in a beautiful black kimono, dressed in full costume, stood in the center of the stage and slowly began to dance.
Natsui rubbed his arms.
Just now, the moment the music started, he had gotten goosebumps.
This opening was very atmospheric, and the music was also very good. It was clear that it had been carefully designed.
He turned to look at Erika and saw that she had also sat up straight. It seemed that this opening had also aroused her interest.
Seeing Natsui look over, she nodded. "This performance seems to be really worth looking forward to."
"Indeed."
In this atmosphere, the woman covered her mouth with her sleeve and slowly began to speak: "A long, long time ago, the people of Ecruteak built two high towers in this city, and these two towers were—"
"The Bell Tower!"
As the woman said this name, the pillar on her left suddenly lit up, and a magnificent nine-story tower was also projected onto the column.
"And the Tin Tower!"
As soon as her voice fell, the pillar on her right also lit up, also revealing a towering structure.
"One day, two legendary Pokémon came here from a distant place: the seven-colored god Ho-Oh, and the sea god Lugia…"
In the woman's narration, the lights and projection created a picture, slowly presenting this legend before the people's eyes.
"Ho-Oh descended on the Bell Tower, and Lugia descended on the Tin Tower. The people communicated with these two Pokémon, and finally, the two sides established a deep friendship. And this friendship lasted until 150 years ago, on that fateful night when the moonlight shone on the high tower."
As she spoke, with a turn, a Poké Ball had appeared in her hand at some point. As the Poké Ball opened, an Umbreon appeared on the stage.
The ring on Umbreon's forehead emitted a bright light, and in an instant, a moon seemed to appear under the ceiling.
The lights dimmed, the moonlight shone down, and the atmosphere and music changed accordingly. Because the audience all knew what would happen next, their hearts were also moved.
Everyone, including Natsui, was drawn into the story. And as the story progressed, the figure of the woman in the black kimono faded away, and another woman in a yellow kimono walked out from the side.
The girl in the yellow kimono took the place of the one in the black kimono and continued, "150 years ago, Lugia's peaceful time was ruthlessly taken away."
As she spoke, she also took out a Poké Ball. As the light flashed, a Jolteon appeared on the stage.
In coordination with the woman's words, a dazzling bolt of lightning erupted from its body and lit up the stage, as if it were the terrifying lightning from 150 years ago.
"The sound of roaring thunder, the howling storm, a storm enveloped the entire Ecruteak City. And what was most terrifying was that a sharp bolt of lightning at this moment struck the Tin Tower…"
In the picture, after the Tin Tower was struck by lightning, it instantly ignited the entire high tower. And as the fire spread, most of Ecruteak City was also engulfed in a sea of fire.
Then, the third woman, in a red kimono with a Flareon, was brought onto the stage by an elevator.
She summoned her Flareon and lit a fire on the stage, as if it were the raging fire from the picture.
The excellent voice acting and visual effects made people feel as if they were there, witnessing the disaster with their own eyes.
With her performance, the three girls danced on the stage at the same time. Their movements were neat and uniform, pleasing to the eye. It was clear that they had rehearsed countless times.
In the side seats, Natsui had already figured out that the colors of their clothes corresponded to their respective Eevee's Pokémon type.
The woman in the black kimono just now corresponded to Umbreon, while the woman in the yellow kimono corresponded to Jolteon. As for the girl in the red kimono, needless to say, she naturally corresponded to Flareon.
Needless to say, they must have specially designed it to match their own Pokémon's type.
Just then, the fourth woman in a blue kimono, while narrating, walked out from the other side of the stage.
She used her Vaporeon to spray a stream of water, like a heavy rain, extinguishing the flames.
Finally, when a girl in a pink kimono walked out, all five Eevee sisters had appeared. The five of them picked up fans, lined up in a row, and as the fans danced lightly and their feet moved gently, they pushed the stage play to its climax.
It wasn't until the girl in the pink kimono released her Espeon that the whole story came to an end.
Espeon used its ability, and on the stage and in the story in the picture, the rain stopped and the sky cleared at the same time. The sun shone on this city that had been ravaged by the great fire, and everything seemed to have returned to its original state.
Except for the Tin Tower, which had already been burned down.
"…And so, so that people would not forget what was lost at that time, and so that people would not repeat the same mistakes, the Tin Tower was preserved as it was."
As the five dancers raised small bells, and as they gently shook them, when the bells stopped ringing, the five of them bowed together.
With that, the performance had come to an end.
Thunderous applause erupted from below the stage and did not subside for a long time.
Natsui and Erika also stood up and clapped.
Although they had already understood this story before, when it was presented in this way, it had to be said that it was indeed very good. No wonder it attracted even monks to come and watch.
As the curtain slowly fell, Natsui glanced at the time and realized that an hour had passed without him noticing.
He had thought it would only be twenty minutes or so.
It was truly a worthwhile trip.
After the show, Natsui and Erika followed the crowd out of the performance hall. And in the corridor, the two of them saw a poster for this stage play again.
This time, the poster was different from the one they had seen outside the entrance. It was of the five beautifully dressed women, the five Eevee sisters.
Just now, because they were a certain distance from the stage, they hadn't seen their faces clearly. Now, looking at them, each of the five sisters was very beautiful. Although each was a year or two apart in age, there were still some similarities in their features.
The two of them had stopped to avoid the crowded audience. After waiting for a while, when the crowd had thinned out a bit, they were ready to leave.
But just as they took a step, an Eevee suddenly ran up from behind.
At the same time, a girl in a pink kimono also chased after it.
She was heard shouting, "Eevee, don't run around! Wait for me!
