Pokémon development strategy

Shuimu often has such thoughts.

If he could defeat Li Yizi and the driver given a new engine by Teacher Yongjira in the competition, would the two of them return to the research institute and continue to use their abilities to benefit the Pokémon transmission system?

The streets below gradually became unobstructed from being crowded. The preliminaries at the White Cape were about to begin. Mizuki could feel people's eagerness across the blocks and three floors.

Really, what fun is this!

Or...I'll go take a look?

Chapter 201 Placement Match

"Miss Skirt, the placement match is about to begin."

After checking the tire pressure, Shen Qi reminded.

Miss Skirt nodded.

During the regular season, the starting positions are determined by drawing lots, and it all depends on luck.

In T3 level events, there will be a positioning race before the official competition. A track will be designated and the contestants will take turns to run two laps. The starting order is determined by the average time taken, and strength is more important.

The positioning race is also at Cape White, with a total length of 10 kilometers and unknown levels.

During the first lap, the drivers did not dare to run at full speed because the road conditions were completely unclear. The power difference between the racing cars was not obvious, which gave the ordinary cars a chance to perform.

In the second lap, I became familiar with the road conditions and the car's powerful power was brought into play, but after all, I only had one lap of familiarity, so skills such as memory of the track and control could still make up for the performance gap.

Judging from the fairness of the starting positions alone, the T3 preliminaries are already much more rigorous than most regular seasons.

The drivers line up in alphabetical order of their code names. The front car leaves the track first, the second car gets off after two minutes, and the third car gets off after another two minutes.

We only calculate the average time taken for each car to complete two laps. There is no need to start at the same time. The cars will not interfere with each other after staggering, allowing the drivers to perform to their best while driving alone.

The organizers will keep a maximum of three cars on the track running positioning races to minimize the impact on each other.

Since the positioning race is short and does not require too much difficulty, the audience seats located at a high place can see the entire stage except for the terrain, and the atmosphere has become heated.

The first car finished and the time appeared on the electronic display.

9 minutes 31 seconds.

The racing car stopped in the maintenance area. The clay doll came out of the cab and squatted on the side of the road, obviously not very satisfied with his performance.

His appearance is like a clay sculpture made of rocks and clay, with a round rock belly, short and thick hands, and rock arm guards, or arm armor, on the outside of his arms.

This kind of body is indeed not convenient for driving a racing car, especially since the clay figurine is very heavy.

With a height of about one meter, the clay doll weighs nearly two hundred kilograms, which is heavier than Miss Qun'er and Shen Qi together.

A green puppy with a broad skull outline jumped out of the co-pilot's seat, and the deputy, Thunder Beast, was comforting his driver.

In fact, in Shen Qi's opinion, it is already very impressive to run an average lap time of less than 10 minutes in the positioning race.

The data length of the track is 10 kilometers. When really running, the car will always deviate and it is impossible to continue moving along the central axis. The actual race distance is longer.

This means that the average speed of the clay doll is over 60 kilometers per hour.

Although interference from other racers was eliminated, it was still amazing to achieve such an average speed on an unfamiliar mountain road with specific checkpoints.

The driver who finished the positioning race in second place took an average lap time of 2 minutes and 8 seconds, which opened up a gap of several dozen seconds and caused greater mental pressure on the clay doll.

Based on this time, the average speed is well over 70 kilometers per hour.

“As expected of a T2-level driver.”

T2 level driver, Infernape.

The monkey, which has nimble hands and feet and is a fighting-type Pokémon that focuses on skills, achieved quite a good result.

It's just that his driving style is really aggressive, and after one lap, there are a lot of scratches on the front and back of the car.

"Wow!"

"It's the Green Ivy Snake!"

The audience burst into cheers as the light green racing car rushed back to the starting line and smoothly stopped in the maintenance area. The seven-color gemstone-like logo on the handlebars sparkled brightly.

8 minutes and 11 seconds!

Qingtengshe opened the car door and enjoyed the cheers from the audience with his deputy Jianzimian.

"Amazing."

Miss Qun'er had checked the records before the competition and noticed that this green vine snake had won 5th and 3rd place in this year's spring and summer competitions respectively.

The single lap time of the positioning race was 2 seconds faster than that of the T15 Infernape just now.

Qingteng Snake is only a T3 driver for now, but everyone thinks it’s only a matter of time before Qingteng Snake gets T2 certification.

From time to time, there were sighs from the audience, saying that Green Ivy Snake was worthy of being Lijia's Pokémon.

Yuhong City (Rainbow City), Yuhong Gym Leader, Lijia.

She is a young lady with the appearance of a Yamato Nadeshiko. She usually wears a kimono in her classic image. Her short hair that does not reach her shoulders is matched with a rose-red headband, making her look gentle and virtuous.

Behind her gentle and lovely image, as a gym leader, Rika possesses the strength of a T2 professional trainer and should not be underestimated.

Miss Qun'er originally only knew that the person behind Green Ivy Snake was a professional trainer who was T2 or even capable of challenging T1, but she didn't expect that he was from the Jade Rainbow Gym.

"It's our turn."

'Um! ’

In alphabetical order of their names, Miss Skirt started the Corolla and stopped at the starting line.

Through the window glass, I could still hear the enthusiastic cheers from the audience in the distance.

The bright sun on the beach, the scorching sand, the winding coastline, the surging crowds and shouts, and most importantly, the roar of the engines...

Everything stimulates the nerves and makes people's adrenaline surge.

Ye Zi couldn't help but tighten her grip on the steering wheel, and her body continued to heat up even after switching to short skirt mode.

Many comfort-related features, including air conditioning, have been sacrificed for the sake of performance racing.

Miss Skirt could only feel her heart beating faster and faster. Looking out the window at the Green Ivy Snake and Infernape who were already in the maintenance area, she couldn't help but wonder if she could surpass their average lap time.

If I qualify behind them, it seems there is no hope of overtaking...

Before the race started, Shen Qi paid attention to the game interface. Miss Qun'er's concentration level was 93%, which was not high in a competition.

The problem is that her mental health index has dropped to 85%.

"Miss Skirt."

As long as Shen Qi called her gently, without saying anything else, Miss Qun'er's mental health index quickly returned to 92%.

Miss Qun'er was indeed easier to coax. No matter how tense the situation was, Shen Qi's words and spiritual communication could quickly calm her down.

But this is not a completely good thing. During the game, Shen Qi can only observe the game interface occasionally in the intervals and it is impossible for him to take care of Miss Qun'er all the time.

As I concluded before, she was too, too dependent on Shen Qi.

The five red lights ahead went out one by one, and the Corolla started off amid the cheers of the audience.

In an instant, Miss Skirt's "Growth" gain was added.

The proficiency is as high as 85%, and the skills are released smoothly, efficiently and stably.

Shen Qi did not use the energy coordination here, but with the "help" of the Jigglypuff, he started with an explosion from the starting point and then continued with the [Racing Energy].

It was a dream-like start, with full output without interference from other cars. I usually don’t dare to practice such a smooth start.

"So fast!"

"That corolla is so fast."

"There's an advertisement on her car... The Fifth Island Luxury Resort. It's a driver from the Seven Islands."

“Are there such amazing drivers on the outer islands?”

"Don't underestimate those places. They usually run wild trails and often run on tracks near the sea. The training conditions are unique."

Chapter 202 Nice Parking Space

The average lap time is 8 minutes and 29 seconds!

"That flower crown is not simple."

"Yeah, the speed is not much slower than some T2 drivers."

There were three T3 riders competing in the preliminaries at Cape White, one of whom came in first place;

The second one is the T3 Green Ivy Snake, which actually has T2 strength;

The third place in the placement match was Infernape;

Miss Skirt was only 3 seconds slower and started in fourth place.

"call…"

Shen Qi breathed a sigh of relief. "The competition later won't be very demanding. Just keep this 4th place."

There are far fewer Pokémon racers than humans, and the top five in the first round of preliminaries will advance.

Some grouped racetracks can accommodate twenty-four, five, and even six qualifying spots.

Regardless of the ranking in the first round of preliminaries, 1 driver points will be added.

Therefore, there is no essential difference between taking first place and fifth place in White Cape, but it is crucial to Shen Qi and Miss Qun'er.

Only by getting points in this year's T3 event can you be eligible to register for next year's T2 competition, which may be an annual competition.

Looking at the ranking of the time spent in the positioning race, the T2 driver ranked first is really scary, with a single lap time of 7 minutes and 59 seconds... The average speed is almost 80 kilometers per hour.

It was a mosquito-repellent swimmer, a giant human-shaped frog standing upright on two legs, with a sturdy body. At the same time, because of its water and fighting system, its operating skills were also strong.

Partners include love fish and neon fish.

It is rare to see a Pokémon with two or more partners.

It is not convenient to use Poké Balls with Pokémon, so the partner is basically in a completely summoned state, secured in the passenger seat by a customized seat belt, and larger Pokémon are also secured in the back seat.

If you are particularly large...then you should just participate in the racing competition with your trainer and stay on the Poké Ball stand.

"Well done!"

A youthful yet mature female voice was heard, and a pretty figure ran out of the maintenance area with flying blonde hair.

The girl's clothes fluttered in the wind. She wore a swimsuit underneath her loose sun-protective clothing, and a pair of women's swimsuit bottoms with a skirt trim on the bottom.

Her good figure and slightly covered swimsuit immediately attracted the attention of a large number of spectators in the stands.

The next second, the blonde woman hugged her frog, and then hugged the heart-shaped fish and the neon fish. From time to time, some male viewers lamented that they were living a worse life than frogs and fish.

"Miss Qun'er, I've never seen that car of Mosquito-incense Swimmer. Is it a rare model?"

'Um…'

Miss Qun'er nodded slightly, "Blue Ocean Company's B-class car, Shuizihua, has special purchase requirements."

In Cerulean City, in order to commemorate its long-term cooperative relationship with the Cerulean Gym, Blue Ocean Company created a car model in the style of the gym leaders' sisters, the Water Flower.

The Cerulean Gym is quite special. It has four gym leaders who are sisters. The most famous one among them is Misty, the heroine of the first generation of Pokémon animation.

Except for the four sisters of the Cerulean Gym, if you want to buy the special car model "Water Flower", you need to successfully challenge the gym and get the blue badge.

Cerulean Gym…

With this clue, Shen Qi determined the identity of the hostess of the mosquito-repellent swimmer.

Cherry blossoms

The Cerulean Gym, owned by Sakura, the eldest of the four sisters who own it.

There are really too many characters with the theme of blonde young ladies, and Qiu Sui also has this style, so Shen Qi didn’t recognize her at first.

When Miss Qun'er mentioned the flower in the water and the Hualan Gym, Shen Qi noticed the hairpin in the shape of a blooming cherry blossom on her golden hair.

"It's too curly. It's really too curly."

Not only do these gym leaders keep honing their skills in battle, they also send their Pokémon to race in the arena.

There was no time to express my feelings to Shen Qidu. I just went to the toilet and drank some water. It was almost time to go to the official competition.
