Pokémon development strategy

Although he has been racing recently, Shen Qi has never participated in any competitions.

Could it be that... Jigglypuff also felt the pressure in the White Cape preliminaries and the unbridgeable gap in strength between him and the car in front?

The possibility is very small. According to Shen Qi's understanding, Jigglypuff has no emotional investment in racing and is really not interested in it. He will only be happy because of the final victory and the reward.

"Lucky eggs."

Shen Qi tried to communicate with the Pokémon in the Poké Ball through his soul.

auspicious?

“I think the second round of preliminaries will be very exciting.”

This is true, the drivers going to Silent Bridge are the top 1 or top 5 drivers from the first round, and the top 6 will advance as well.

Miss Skirt’s ability to barely hold on to the 4th place and her mentality after the game...it will be difficult for her to get into the top 5 again.

'Everyone has been great, we can come back next time.'

Jilidan comforted him in a proper manner and still did not have too many emotional ups and downs about racing.

Sure enough, her changes have little to do with racing

Chapter 209 Spiritual Guide

On the way to Kuye City, Shen Qi and Jilidan chatted a lot.

The content is roughly that Shen Qi has little confidence, and Jilidan expresses comfort and relief.

During this process, Jigglypuff's mental health index returned to 79%, which means that the script of "Crazy Doctor - Soft Power" has nothing to do with racing.

If Jilidan was depressed because of her powerlessness in racing, and Shen Qi mentioned her lack of confidence again, she should be even more anxious. At least, she would not be able to recover her mental health index while comforting him.

This is indeed the case. Jigglypuff was not simply hit because he couldn't play a role in racing, but because he felt that he was useless in every aspect.

Do a good job in cooking and logistics, and Jigglypuff will have its own place to shine. As for racing, just listen to Shen Qi's instructions and train the long-eared rabbit.

The Corolla drove into the reserved hotel parking lot.

When carrying his luggage to check in, Shen Qi thanked Qiu Sui again.

She generously gave 10b in sponsorship, which made it possible for Shen Qi to not feel so tight on money when he went out to participate in the competition. He did not have to devote too much energy to lowering costs, and he could go to the racetrack to adjust and test the car without hesitation.

Tomorrow is the second round of preliminaries. After quickly putting everything in the hotel, Shen Qi summoned the Jigglypuff.

Her question had little to do with racing, so she tried to keep the conversation brief.

"Is there anything that makes Jigglypuff unhappy?"

Shen Qi's attitude is very clear. As a trainer with 100% compatibility, he may not notice the small emotions of Pokémon, but he is definitely aware of the big psychological problems.

auspicious…

Jigglypuff felt a little guilty.

The important game is just around the corner. Shen Qi is already very tired and has not had enough time to rest. He also has to pay attention to this side.

'Actually...I participated in a cooking challenge yesterday...and I lost.'

"Huh."

Shen Qi knew it very well... it was a bit embarrassing to serve Jelly Egg's cooking skills on the table. He could only sigh silently that being a judge in a cooking competition is not easy.

Jigglypuff also mentions that she was partnered with a Lady Flower Clean.

With Madam Hua Jie's ability, she would have been able to advance normally, but because she was taking care of Jigglypuff, she didn't get a good result in the end.

"Mrs. Hua Jie?"

As far as Shen Qi remembers... there will be no wild Madam Hua Jie in the game. It requires the female flower petal to evolve through the light stone.

"Mrs. Hua Jie certainly doesn't blame you. She is willing to partner with you out of kindness."

auspicious…

Mrs. Hua Jie certainly would not blame Jellyfish. She just commented at the end that Jellyfish was trying too hard and putting too much effort into something, which made it difficult to get the job done, especially when it comes to cooking, which requires careful work.

Hearing this, Shen Qi began to wonder if the so-called "soft power" was used in cooking?

The stereotype of Jelly Egg has a negative impact on cooking, always associating it with hard work and asceticism, and there is indeed the problem of "overdoing it" as Mrs. Hua Jie mentioned.

However, it is not possible to confirm what constitutes "softness" and whether this emotional script is only about cooking.

Not to mention Shen Qi, Jigglypuff himself was still in a confused state, so how could he explain the strategy of how to obtain the power of both hardness and softness.

Fortunately, the possibility of serious problems has been ruled out.

This was Shen Qi's purpose, to verify the status of the Jelly Egg first. Since it was an opportunity for the data package triggered by cooking, it was not an urgent situation, so it could be put aside for now.

After all, there will be a placement match early tomorrow morning, and then there will be the second round of official competition, so Miss Qun'er still needs to prepare herself mentally.

Before traveling through time, Shen Qi had never imagined that being a trainer would have such a heavy workload.

Not only does she have to bear the burden of hard training, but she also serves as a spiritual mentor for Pokémon. After comforting Chansey, she then comforts Miss Skirt.

Generally speaking, Pokémon's intelligence is weaker than that of humans, and the first reason is their different innate advantages.

The advantage of Pokémon is that they use energy efficiently, and most humans cannot use such high-level skills;

The advantages of human beings lie in their thinking and creative abilities, as well as the social learning system they have formed.

As the competition progresses, it is almost impossible to enlighten Miss Qun'er, whose inner thinking and endurance are not so mature, to a state of sudden enlightenment, but Shen Qi still has to try hard.

At least we can't let Miss Qun'er accumulate all the pressure from the previous game and participate in tomorrow's game with a strong sense of powerlessness.

Winning or losing is secondary. If the mental burden continues to increase, Miss Qun'er will not only fail to learn any experience, but may also suffer long-term negative psychological effects.

"Oh my... It's not easy to be a trainer."

Guji?

In the guest room, Duoduo was walking around happily. He was really in a good mood.

After all, he was tricked by Team Rocket into doing some illegal things to steal Pokémon, and later he became desperate for life and was almost destroyed by the police station.

Duoduo has come out of that kind of adversity. It is true that when you are at the bottom of the valley, you are moving upwards no matter how you move forward.

Touching Duoduo, Shen Qi indicated that he was going outside to buy something, and asked Duoduo and Jilidan to stay in the room.

In the corner of the coffee shop next to the hotel, Shen Qi and Miss Qun'er sat opposite each other.

Across half the hall, at the other end of the small table sat Shinichi.

Mizuki was at the hotel, and Shinichi was keeping a distance to make sure Shen Qi was safe.

"Shen Qi...should we practice now?"

Miss Skirt Mobilizer mixes drinks for Pokémon, and there is no need to explain the sadness in her eyes.

"It's not a question of driving skills now, it's a psychological problem."

The regular season in Vermilion Leaf City ended. Shen Qi and Miss Qun'er each had their own concerns, knowing that the current fixed partnership pattern was not conducive to the growth of both parties.

After training one day, Shen Qi broke the window paper that he knew in his heart, and reached a consensus with Miss Qun'er. They decided to complete the T3 competition with all their heart and soul, grow in their respective fields, and become better partners in the future.

After that talk, Miss Qun'er gained a more stable and peaceful mental state.

However, the psychological pressure generated by the preliminaries was far beyond expectations. Shen Qi needed to reach a consensus at the soul level once again, a deeper consensus.

Such a fit will not make mental stress disappear, nor will it inexplicably offset fatigue, so that Miss Qun'er does not have to be too anxious, and even if she fails, she must bring back experience.

"Miss Qun'er, your competitive state is too poor. There is no point in participating in the competition with this mentality. Failure is one thing, but you won't learn any experience from it."

Shen Qi went straight to the point and conveyed his feelings directly to Miss Qun'er through soul communication.

After a moment of silence, Miss Skirt choked up a little.

She knew that what Shen Qi said was right, but she didn't know what to do. Perhaps with the passage of time, her heart would be able to digest the pressure and turn it into growth...but now she didn't have the time.

Does that mean we should choose a conservative strategy?

This is the way a racer chooses to compete when he has no hope, running with a non-competitive strategy, showing respect for the competition without causing too much wear and tear on the car.

Or...are you really going to withdraw from the competition?

Chapter 210: Trainer's Responsibility

"To retire?"

Shen Qi put down the cup and said, "Of course I won't withdraw from the competition."

Miss Skirt raised her eyes filled with doubt. Shen Qi just said that it was meaningless to participate in the competition in this state, and it would be counterproductive...

"Yes, you are not in good condition to participate in the competition, and I can't run a Pokémon-standard competition as a driver, but ah, we still have to continue."

Whether it is human or Pokémon, they can't just listen to what others say and expect their mind and soul to overcome difficulties and grow naturally.

This situation may happen, but it is very rare.

Shen Qi knew very well that he couldn't enlighten Miss Qun'er with words alone and make her realize the truth on the spot.

"As a trainer, I have to use my actions to let Miss Skirt know the right direction to move forward."

Regarding tomorrow's game, Shen Qi will no longer advise people to "keep a calm mind" or "don't put too much pressure on yourself" and other meaningless nonsense.

Miss Qun'er will drive according to the current state, and Shen Qi will devote himself to it and perform beautifully in the deputy position together with Jilidan and Duoduo.

The driver is in poor condition and it is difficult for the assistant to save the race results, but Shen Qi must do this. The purpose is related to the results, and more importantly, he wants to use his behavior to let Miss Qun'er know what to do when facing pressure and setbacks.

Simply describing with words is too pale and powerless, Shen Qi can only lead by example, interpreting high-sounding and vague words such as "tenacity" and "calmness", and guide Pokémon with his actions.

'Shen Qi...'

Miss Qun'er was somewhat touched, but unfortunately inner growth does not happen overnight. She saw a ray of light in Shen Qi, but for the time being she could not follow this light and walk out of the dark cave.

"That's all." Shen Qi gently stroked Miss Qun'er, "Let's go, we don't have much time, we need to rest after practicing a little, there will be a placement match tomorrow morning."

During the subsequent practice on the racetrack, Shen Qi clearly felt that something was not right.

It is understandable that Miss Qun'er has not grown up after experiencing pressure and setbacks.

Sometimes students are like this too. When faced with exam pressure, they know they should adjust their mindset and remain calm and perform well, but they just can't adjust themselves on the spot.

The same is true when an interviewee is nervous in front of the examiner or is unable to regulate his emotions.

Not to mention Miss Qun'er, Shen Qi's condition was not much better. He worried too much before and after the race, and he was yawning after running two laps on the racetrack.

There was no point in continuing the test run like this. After confirming that there was no problem with the Corolla's parts, Shen Qi simply took Miss Qun'er back to the hotel early. The best thing to do was to get some more sleep.

The next day, the sky was foggy and before the morning light illuminated the earth, Shen Qi had already gotten up and washed.

The time is scheduled for 10 a.m., and the positioning race has to start at 7 a.m. because three cars go out on the track.

The contestants need to arrive early to prepare, so Shen Qi has to get up much earlier.

"I get up at 5:...I don't even work that hard to go to school."

After hurriedly finishing his breakfast, Shen Qi checked in the car that his luggage was in order.

Ordinary regular season races only require drivers to wear helmets, while T3 races require drivers to wear racing suits, which are safety clothing with fire-resistant properties.

Because of the huge size difference between Pokémon drivers, they are equipped with safety equipment similar to protective barrier devices.

A set of fireproof clothing can be bought for four or five thousand b, but the protective equipment for Pokémon is expensive, but fortunately it can be rented from the organizer.

These things definitely can't withstand an explosion, and they are mainly used to buy a minute or two after a fire or collision, which is already very life-saving.

In the Poké Ball, Chansey and Toto were still sleeping. Miss Skirt could have slept a little longer, but looking at the data panel, she had already woken up.

"Shen Qi, let me drive."

"Row."

Shen Qi did not refuse, nor did he say anything more, allowing Miss Qun'er to rest for a while.

She certainly couldn't sleep, so she might as well drive a little further to warm up her hands.

When playing on the battlefield, Shen Qi basically runs with the mentality that he is bound to lose, so he still has to give 100% concentration.

Winning or losing is not important anymore. As I said yesterday, trainers must lead by example and let confused Pokémon see what they should do.

The charm that can only be understood but not expressed in words can only be conveyed through the trainer's actions.

The Silent Forest covers a wide area and has nothing to do with the road sections involved in the last regular season in Vermilion City.
