Pokémon development strategy

"do not like."

A rather quiet and pretty face turned around, with her yellow hair tied into a ball swaying slightly in the sea breeze.

Shuimu is a pretty girl, but her facial expression looks like she has stayed up all night in an Internet cafe for two days. She looks a little pale and has no interest in anything.

She repeated, "I don't like racing."

"What about...Pokémon battles?"

"Not interested in."

Gah--Gah--

The long-winged gulls flew across the blue sky on the sea breeze, and their screams made the embarrassment of the moment even more apparent.

There was no way to continue the conversation, and Shen Qi looked at Zhenyi in the distance with depression.

In order to act as if they were completely unrelated and didn't know each other, Shinichi wouldn't come over to talk, but unfortunately the only one suitable to observe Porygon's condition was Mizuki.

Shen Qi thought that if Zhenyi sat in the car instead, the atmosphere would at least be more lively.

Shinichi, who was far away, noticed the gaze and turned around.

He was familiar with Shuimu and understood Shen Qi's embarrassed expression. He responded with a gloating smile and turned his head away, pretending not to know him.

At the Qianhong City Ferry, the ship approached the shore with a slight shake, and the vehicles coming on the ferries passed through the inclined deck one by one and reached the ground.

Shen Qi didn't rest and continued driving north.

Last time I mentioned the unique geographical location of Kuye City. Although it is located in a relatively inland area, it is connected to narrow inland seas on both sides, forming a pattern of extremely convenient land and sea transportation.

The track for Group 6 is on the side of the White Cape close to Yuhong City. There is no need to take a detour through Kuye City. You can go north from Qianhong City and cross the sea bridge to reach the destination.

In the setting sun, the human shadow was dragged very long.

After getting off the car, Shuimu praised, "That's pretty impressive. You drove all the way from the 6th island to Yuhong City in one go."

"no big deal."

Before the time travel, Shen Qi's physical fitness was far from what it is now. He still often drove for more than ten hours at a time, and he was driving an overloaded truck.

Of course, doing so is against regulations and laws and is not worth promoting, but it does help to develop perseverance in long-distance driving.

They checked into a room at the end of the corridor on the third floor of the hotel. Shinichi didn't check in until nightfall had completely darkened the sky and he had wandered around elsewhere for a while.

In the room, Shen Qi's cell phone rang, and the caller was Zhenyi.

"How is it, little brother, have you checked in?"

"Smooth check-in, Mizuki is in the next room, what about you?"

"I will also stay in the guest room at the entrance of the passage as originally planned."

"That's good."

In Shinichi's room, Gou Li was helping to pack up his equipment.

"It's a pity that we have to pretend to be strangers when we go out this time. Otherwise, we can go out together. There is a good bathhouse in Yuhong City. Next time, I will take you there to have a bath and meet some good friends."

"No, no! I'm not used to public baths!"

"You'll get used to it gradually."

The topic was too stimulating, so Shen Qi quickly changed the subject.

"Officer Shinichi, Mizuki really doesn't know how to chat."

"Hahaha, you'll get used to it. She's not a bad person, she just has no interest in anything other than work."

"It's not just a matter of not being interested. She doesn't like racing."

"Don't like it?" Shinichi's words were a little strange. "Did she tell you that she didn't like it?"

"Yes."

Shen Qi felt it was strange. If he didn't like it, then he didn't like it. Was there any need for Shinichi to suddenly make this a point?

"Is such that…"

As far as Shinichi knew, Mizuki had no interest in anything other than work.

When friends or colleagues invite her to get involved in other fields, Shuimu always says "I'm not interested".

It means no like or dislike, just not interested.

This emotionless attitude has a stronger sense of distance than "dislike".

I've never heard her express obvious aversion to anything, but I didn't expect that she actually "disliked" racing.

"It's rare that Mizuki would express obvious emotions about things other than work."

After chatting with Shinichi for a while, Shen Qi just thought Shuimu was a workaholic and didn't take the matter to heart.

But the next day, Shuimu suddenly decided not to go out.

Shen Qi received a sponsorship of 10b from Qiu Sui, which gave him the opportunity to test run the car with Miss Qun'er at the racetrack to adjust the condition of the Corolla.

When I told Shuimu about my itinerary, she directly refused and said she would not go out that day.

This is so strange.

Mizuki's main job is to research the Pokémon transmission system, but at least he has a security identity as a member of the system. This time he is here to observe Porygon's situation, so why would he suddenly act like a spoiled brat?

Shen Qi contacted Zhenyi, and the other party was also very strange. Shuimu had never joked about the mission.

But Shinichi confirmed again that Mizuki still didn't plan to come out. What she meant was that she would continue to follow Shen Qi after he finished his training at the racing track.

"Is this... Mizuki's aversion to racing cars to this extent?"

After reaching the conclusion, Shinichi was also very confused.

Just like what he said on the phone yesterday, Shuimu rarely shows emotions about things other than work, and would just say "not interested" lightly.

No one would have thought that he had such a strong resistance to racing.

I think if Mizuki hadn't happened to come to the 5th Island to investigate the incident of Team Rocket using the transmission system to steal Pokémon, he would most likely have refused this arrangement.

After Shen Qi and Miss Qun'er finished a day's practice and debugging, Zhenyi pretended to be a passerby and wandered around the racetrack, and actually saw Shuimu appear.

The same thing happened the next day. Shen Qi went to the racetrack, but Shui Mu did not go.

The exercise was over and Mizuki was back in action, continuing his duties on the mission.

Chapter 200 What’s so fun?

“You don’t even go on match days…”

On the day of the preliminaries, Shen Qi confirmed that Shuimu would not go to the competition venue.

You are so determined.

In fact, the match day is the time when Shinichi and Mizuki are most relaxed.

On the official T3 race day, security is absolutely in place, the drivers’ abilities cannot be underestimated, and Pokémon trainers will also be present.

If it were the former Team Rocket, they might have dared to launch a surprise attack on the field in front of so many trainers, and they might have succeeded.

Now... Athena's own strength and the few people under her command, stop dreaming, an attack on the match day is simply suicide, and she is happy to get the silver bracelet and dormitory.

There was no possibility of Team Rocket attacking, so the guards didn't need to be too vigilant. Shinichi had already bought some snacks and drinks, and planned to watch the game carefully.

The only regret for him is that he can't drink alcohol, and he will definitely have no alcohol to drink before the mission is completed.

Mizuki…directly refused to go to the competition.

Since there was almost no need to be on alert all day today, she simply planned to stay in the guest room all day.

"Then let's go first."

Shen Qi's farewell was heard outside the guest room. Shuimu just said "Oh" softly, not caring whether the sound could be heard outside the door.

In the quiet room, the "clicking" sound of Shuimu typing on the keyboard was particularly clear.

After a few minutes her movements stagnated a little, and her sharp eyes and calm aura when facing the computer also relaxed a little.

"Oh... Blame it on racing! Why are humans and Pokémon so obsessed with this shit?"

After making a cup of coffee, Shuimu walked to the window carrying the tray and cup.

From here you can see a spire-style building in the distance, which is the building complex of Yuhong University.

On the spire of the building, there are carvings of Magikarp and Gyarados entwined together, corresponding to the school emblem of Yuhong University, with blessings and expectations of carp leaping over the dragon gate.

Mizuki graduated from Gyokuhong University, which can be regarded as the strongest university in the Kanto region.

Professor Oak, Professor Sora, and the Jade Rainbow Gym Leader all teach at Jade Rainbow University.

Part of Miss Joy also received a degree in Pokémon Psychology from Yuhong University.

It was at Yuhong University that Shuimu received a good education, aspired to become a researcher of the Pokémon transmission and storage system, and was successfully admitted to graduate school.

Those years are a particularly precious treasure in Mizuki's heart. Together with his classmates in the graduate group, he studied and improved the system, making the expensive Pokémon delivery system less redundant and having the potential to serve more people at a lower price in the future.

Mizuki originally thought that the fulfilling journey towards his dream would continue, and he believed that working at the research institute with his mentors and classmates would bring good news to the Pokémon transmission system.

However, everyone has different ideas, and not everyone can look at the Pokémon data transmitted back and forth day after day, and repeatedly calculate the cost losses and improvement plans.

The first to leave was Senior Wu De, and his destination was simply unbelievable.

After graduating from Yuhong University with a major in data research, he went to a fighting dojo in the neighboring Golden City to be the owner of a karate gym, where he trained a large number of trainers classified as "Karate King" and "Battle Girl" and many fighting-type Pokémon.

Upon hearing the news, Shuimu found it unbelievable and turned to tell the talented schoolmate who was one grade younger than her.

The junior school girl has a strong talent for data processing, and her wealthy family background has also given her a broad vision and communication skills.

This foreseeable bright new star researcher was not only not surprised by Senior Wu De’s departure, but also stated that he would definitely not be a researcher in the future.

In order to improve the sluggish racing industry in her hometown, the school girl wants to debut as an idol and revitalize her own racing team.

She is... Li Yizi, who was already well-known in the idol circle when she was studying at Yuhong University.

Shuimu never thought that Li Yizi would make being an idol her main career and revitalizing the racing team her goal.

The continuous blows made Shuimu feel overwhelmed, so she went to her mentor to complain.

The teacher of this group of master's students is very special. He is not a human being, but a Pokémon with a very high IQ, Braum.

Normally, this teacher Yongjila wears a self-made metal mask, and uses his superpowers to vibrate the mechanism inside the mask to simulate the pronunciation of the vocal cords, making his speech sonorous, powerful and full of texture.

Mizuki told his teacher about his frustration, and Yongjila said that everyone has their own aspirations. In fact, his ambition was not in Pokémon data transmission, but he happened to have been exposed to academic training in this area for a long time and was particularly good at it.

Teacher Yongjila’s hobby is racing, and he became a T2-level driver during his teaching career.

He realized that he was getting old and had reached the limit of his ability in racing, so he hoped to develop his own engine so that other drivers could one day achieve good results using a specially made engine.

Hearing the teacher say this, Shuimu's vision of a future in which everyone would happily work together in the research institute was shattered, and she felt her eyes go dark.

Later, the team members really went their separate ways.

Wu De went to Jinhuang City to be a coach in a fighting dojo, and Li Yizi became a top star.

Teacher Yongjila’s dream was not supported by Yuhong University. There was no research on racing engine manufacturing in the university, let alone the development of new engines.

Shuimu originally thought that the teacher would give up his dream, but unexpectedly, due to differences in ideas, Yongjila resigned from his teaching job and left Yuhong University, and there was no subsequent news.

If there were no racing cars, Li Yizi's talent and Teacher Yongjila's expertise could be utilized in the field of Pokémon storage and transmission.

"Damn racing!"

Shuimu slapped the railing hard with his hand, controlled his emotions, and reminded himself not to be too willful.

Even if there was no racing, teachers and students who should go to other fields would still leave. Shuimu just felt angry.

As a student of average talent, Shuimu had no other interests and devoted his life to transmission research to achieve his current success.

Others clearly did it more easily and had a better foundation, but they casually threw away the achievements they had made.

“Is racing so interesting?!”

There are promotional advertisements for the T3 level competition hanging on the streets below. Not only is the T3 competition for racing Pokémon battles in full swing, but it is also in full swing.

Shuimu hasn't been to a racetrack in recent years and has deliberately avoided racing-related news on the Internet, but the anger in his heart still exists.

what can we play for fun?

As a top-notch scientific researcher, I'll get a nice car and modify it so that I can crush you to the ground.
