Pokémon development strategy

Shen Qi really didn't notice that another Corolla came in during the race. He thought it was good enough to stay in the top 10, so he didn't care about the extra cars.

"Miss Skirt, what's wrong?"

It was just another Corolla that showed up. It wasn't something that should shock you to the point of exploding.

"That car... and the Pokémon on it... belong to Sayaka..."

The language is a bit fragmented, but the main message is still spelled out.

Sayaka, the hot girl who unfortunately died in the T3 competition, and the former trainer of Miss Skirt.

That rose-red Corolla, and the Pokémon that served as the driver and assistant all belonged to Sayaka.

Shen Qi's first reaction was that Sayaka was still alive, and his eyes turned to the maintenance room.

The Huaguan stopped next to the temporary maintenance room, half a distance away from the playground, and two mantises got out from the driver's seat and the co-pilot seat respectively.

It is a Pokémon based on a pink orchid. The appearance of this orchid is somewhat similar to that of a praying mantis, but the orchid mantis separates the characteristics of the two orchids.

Pink flowers and leaves make up the Japanese-style robe and bottoms with wide sleeves. A pair of arms with sickles are hidden under the ancient sleeves. The face is as delicate as an orchid, and the eyes are as sharp as a mantis hunting.

There is a hint of danger in the charm.

The Lantern sisters were participating in the competition, and there was no one else around the rose-red Corolla, which meant that the trainer did not come.

Like Miss Qun'er, their original trainer was Sayaka, who passed away three years ago, and it seems that they have not found a new trainer.

Or…

"Miss Qun'er, could it be that the hot girl you mentioned before is still alive?"

Miss Skirt shook her head...

Sayaka died in a T3 event. Although the athlete voluntarily assumed the risks of sports competition and her skills were not mature, the event organizer still has to apologize and express condolences, and there will also be corresponding compensation.

If the driver hadn't died, Sayaka's wealthy family would definitely come forward to make a statement, and the organizer would also announce the fortunate news.

However, the public condolences at the time were clear, and Sayaka's family did not erase the death record, so the conclusion was set in stone.

"That's it..."

Miss Skirt has always believed that she was not mature enough and did not have a high-level "guard" skill, so she could not protect Sayaka from the disaster of the racing car explosion.

It is indeed a bit harsh to think like this. Not to mention Miss Skirt at that time, taking the other Pokémon lieutenants present, few Pokémon could use the "hold" skill to protect themselves and their trainers during the disasters of falling off a cliff and car explosion.

Speaking of this, Miss Qun'er's situation is actually quite puzzling.

It seemed like an old friend had come. Miss Qun'er had seen the two sisters who had not yet evolved and were still pseudo-mantises, and she had also seen another Corolla.

Well...it's good that the two sides didn't hug each other and cry. Why did it cause such negative emotional fluctuations? The blow was even more severe than the first round of the game.

"Miss Skirt, you..."

Miss Qun'er was staring at this moment, wanting to cry but unable to. Shen Qi did not dare to ask any more questions, and helped her into the maintenance room first.

'They said... said...'

"What did you say?"

The Lan Tanghua sisters heard what Miss Qun'er said: It doesn't matter if you drop to the top 10, as long as the points lost are not too many.

They drove over specifically to express their contempt and disgust. Three years ago, Miss Qun'er was unable to protect the trainer and survived on her own, and now she was so humble and embarrassed, with no progress and even no ambition.

"How can you say such a thing?" Shen Qi couldn't help but complain.

It's not a question of ambition. There's no point in claiming to get first place. You can just go fight Sakuragi Castle with your head.

This is the truth. Only when the people in front of us collectively perform poorly and the top five all withdraw from the race will we have a chance to secure a place in the top 10.

The Lan Tanghua sisters are not powerful people who have advanced in a high-profile manner, otherwise they would have attracted a lot of media attention.

'They might be blaming me...'

Only after Sayaka obtained the T3 level driver certification did she get the younger Pseudo-Mantis sisters. Miss Skirt would occasionally take the two little girls to the track for a few laps.

At that time, the two young sisters had great admiration and longing for Miss Qun'er, and they also wanted to become a powerful assistant or even a driver in the future.

As a result, when a disaster struck, Miss Skirt was unable to protect the trainer. Instead, Sayaka threw the Poké Ball at the moment of danger, and Miss Skirt survived.

It is conceivable how great a psychological impact the news had on the young Pseudo-Mantis sisters. When they evolved and became racing partners, they knew as soon as they saw the information about this competition that the one driving the Corolla was Miss Skirt from that year.

After hearing Miss Qun'er's discouraging words again, it was no wonder that the Lan Tanghua sisters drove up to show their contempt.

Shen Qi felt very sorry for Miss Qun'er. She had finally come out of the haze, but then she suffered a more severe blow.

The Kelan Mantis and Hua sisters... actually have reason to be angry.

Rubbing his forehead, the best response Shen Qi could think of was to get good results in the competition and let Lan Tanghua know that Miss Qun'er was just soft-spoken, but was actually very hardworking and capable of fighting, and never gave up striving for progress.

However...Sayaka's matter has always been Miss Qun'er's concern, and her long-cherished wish cannot be fulfilled until she gets the T2 certification.

Now there is another critical hit. The mental health index is extremely poor. How can I show the high morale and high morale to strive for progress?

The competition does not care which driver has a problem at the moment. The car is moving forward on time. The radio is calling on all players to get ready. The positioning race is about to begin and the starting order of the race will be determined.

"Miss Skirt."

'I know…'

Miss Skirt stood up and opened the car door.

With Shen Qi's comfort, her mental health index returned to 50% and her mental concentration increased to 85%.

In just a few days, Miss Qun'er has become much stronger, but the shocks that fate has given her have also become even greater...

Chapter 221 Keep calm

One by one, the racing cars returned from the 10-kilometer section designated for the positioning race, and the average number of laps was displayed on the electronic screen.

Miss Skirt's Flower Crown, average time per lap: 8 minutes 39 seconds

In the second round of the rematch at Silent Bridge, Miss Qun'er was in a rather bad state. She ran the first lap in 2 minutes and 1 seconds. In the second lap, the route was more familiar, and she improved her time by 8 seconds under Shen Qi's extreme operation.

The final average time was 8 minutes and 36 seconds.

This time's 8 minutes and 39 seconds...isn't really that bad.

It is impossible for two different tracks to be of equal difficulty. The difficulty level of the comprehensive levels can only be roughly the same. A 3-second fluctuation is normal.

Considering only her own factors, Miss Qun'er has made a lot of progress compared to before coming to Dead Leaf City.

With such a tight schedule, such great pressure, and two unexpected blows, Miss Qun'er's performance in the placement match just now was acceptable.

But this is a competition, you can’t just compare yourself with your past self.

On the electronic display screen, rose champagne, Sakuragi Castle, and the water flower driven by the mosquito-repellent swimmer all took an average lap time of less than 8 minutes.

Miss Skirt's Corolla was 40 seconds slower than the first group and ranked 20th out of 15 drivers.

The rose-red corolla of the Pseudomantis sisters ranks 7th and is quite strong.

The Dream Song Cactus is ranked 8th.

From the first and second rounds of the preliminaries to today's main race, the Fengma driven by Mengge Cactus has been ranked 1th in every positioning race.

"Miss Qun'er, our starting position is as expected."

According to the original estimate, Shen Qi wanted to rank around 10th. It would be good to move forward and get some points, but if he fell, he shouldn't fall too much, as the points deduction would be limited.

Starting from 15th place, I would achieve my goal by overtaking three or four places.

Miss Qun'er had previously agreed with this positioning, but the words of the Lan Tanghua sisters really stimulated her deeply.

At the last moment of her life, Sayaka threw Miss Skirt out of the explosion range and placed her wish of becoming a T2 driver on Miss Skirt.

Looking back on the past three years...Miss Qun'er just feels that she has not worked hard enough.

“I’ve tried very hard.”

It’s really not that Shen Qi is making excuses for his Pokémon, it’s just that objective conditions don’t allow Miss Qun’er to fight for it.

After Sayaka passed away, Miss Qun'er only had a Corolla and no other financial support. She couldn't go back to that wealthy family and ask for financial support.

This kind of anti-human plot will not work. It is amazing that Miss Qun'er can drive and be self-sufficient in such a barren place as the 6th Island, and she does not become depressed, but continues to move towards her ideal.

"If you are unwilling to accept this, remember this emotion deeply and try to get it back next year or the year after!"

'Um! ’

Miss Quner, the mental health index is 76%, and her condition is recovering quickly.

The five red lights went out and the traffic began to move, increasing in speed.

Since you can't use "help" to start from behind the team, just increase the power honestly.

The first half of the Dead Leaf Harbor track is all paved roads, so high-horsepower cars have the upper hand. It is estimated that by the time the second half reaches the dangerous terrain, the first echelon will have disappeared.

"Ahead, container checkpoint."

Shen Qi reminded.

There were no difficulties in the paved regular roads. The organizers placed large containers to create narrow entrances and scattered obstacles to form corresponding checkpoints.

'Ok'

Miss Skirt operated calmly.

The weather was quite favorable for her, as sunny days had a speed-boosting effect, allowing her to react faster and have dynamic vision, allowing her to handle levels more easily than usual.

It's just that the mentality will more or less affect the operation. Shen Qi would give a reminder from time to time to correct the overly rough operation and stabilize Miss Qun'er's mentality.

After this race, I won’t be a partner with Miss Skirt on the racing track for a long time.

"Ms. Qun'er, release the connection of the characteristic skill slot."

Through the characteristic skill slot, the "chlorophyll" characteristic effect activated by Miss Qun'er can affect the entire racing car, greatly increasing the speed and the air intake.

Correspondingly, it will also require more mental energy expenditure.

As they were about to reach a dangerous section of the road, Miss Qun'er should focus more on driving, and the speed increase should be left to Shen Qi's "Wild Princess".

bang——

There was a sound of breaking rocks ahead, making people think that a car had an accident on the dangerous track.

Shen Qi looked into the distance. The road had just been paved and there was a sharp V-shaped bend a hundred meters away. The second half was an ascending slope with dead tree trunks inserted in it.

It can be said that there are many obstacles and difficulties.

At this moment, a barrier wooden stake inserted in the soil and rocks broke, and the gap looked like it had been hit by a mace, and the crack was very hideous.

Apparently, it was the Dream Song Cactus that surpassed his ultimate skill: Spike Defense.

Forms a defensive barrier with a similar effect to "Hold". The barrier has a counter-injury effect, causing additional damage to objects it touches.

Actively using attack skills is definitely a foul. For example, it is prohibited to use the Leaf Knife to cut off obstacles. Defensive skills are prohibited from being used against other cars and players. Obstacles can be regarded as targets.

In the second round, Mengge Cactus relied on this "spike defense" to overtake from 6th place to 4th place at the end of the track and advance to the main race.

In the first half of the race, Mengge Cactus had already felt the pressure. The skill structure of "Spike Defense" was more complicated than "Hold", and it was not easy and more laborious to use. But if he didn't play his trump card now, it would be even more dangerous later.

Wood and stone debris slid down the slope, and the cars avoided it one after another. Mengge Cactus jumped from the 8th place to the 5th place in one breath.

"Duoduo!"

The sliding wood and stones have not been cleared by the organizers yet, and the surrounding cars are affected, which is a great time to use "electromagnetic levitation".

Duoduo was caught off guard and was carried out, feeling confused and surprised.

The floating tactic is actually quite unfamiliar. If there is a need to use it, Shen Qi will inform Duoduo in advance so that he can be mentally prepared.

This is an emergency right now.

Guji!

The dual soul gave Duoduo extra spiritual support. He judged the distance he needed to float and the height he needed to rise along the ramp, and turned on "electromagnetic levitation".

The commentator's passionate words came from the headphones.

"After Mengge Cactus used his special skill, the assistant of Queen Tianlengmei also used his best skill."

"Using electromagnetic levitation to fly over a temporarily unstable area, it surpassed five tightly packed racing cars!"

"Oops, it's a pity that the landing was not very stable. I fell from 10th place to 11th place."

After all, it was a hastily devised tactic, and Duoduo didn't have time to lift the front of the car up, so the slope was not right. When falling, the two front wheels touched the ground first, and because of limited grip, they slipped backwards a bit.
