Pokémon development strategy

All I can say is that Pokémon's minds and social experiences really can't be compared with humans. The Dreamsong Cactus is considered quite experienced, but he is clearly lacking in emotional aspects that he has never touched upon.

Sha Ling's cautious attitude, in which she is embarrassed to even fantasize about sweet dreams and feels that she is not worthy of the person, is actually due to her inferiority complex caused by the tremendous pressure.

Fortunately, she loves racing and at least makes a living from her hobby, otherwise her mental state would only be worse.

Chapter 247: D-class car participating in the competition? !

Despite Mengge Cactus's cordial invitation, Shen Qi still declined.

Before the regular season, you can either practice driving or rest. Don't run around for now. We'll talk about it after the game is over.

"So hot…"

After putting on the racing suit, Shen Qi complained, "It's so hot"

Racing suits with fire-proof properties are one of the guarantees for the safety of the players. They are mandatory in all formal competitions and are part of the necessary safety kit, just like helmets and roll cages in the car.

I can understand the good intentions of the organizers, and it is really hot.

Especially since racing cars don’t have air conditioning…

Class A racing cars worth millions of coins don't even have air conditioning in order to use all the power for racing.

If you buy it just to show off and have enough money to drive it to and from work, that's a different matter. Forget about installing air conditioning, you can even install a searchlight on the roof.

However, Shen Qi's low-end version of the Lamborghini did not have air conditioning when it left the factory.

Start the Lamb and head to the regular season arena.

The sky was heavily overcast and the temperature was around 20 degrees, which was actually much better than when I participated in the T3 event.

The weather was still very hot a month ago. At that time, Shen Qi felt like he was in a sauna when wearing his racing suit. While performing the duties of a deputy, he also had to take care of Miss Qun'er who was in a difficult mental period.

It’s really much better that I came to participate in the competition by myself today.

"Sir, the front is the entrance for the regular season players. Spectators need to go through another entrance."

"I am today's contestant."

Shen Qi grabbed the old swing of the Lamborghini and lowered the window by hand.

He didn't wear a helmet for the time being, but at least he was wearing a driver's suit. Only some fanatical spectators would dress like this, and you can only see it in official competitions.

"Here, here's my racing driver's license and registration information."

The mobile phone displayed the driver information of Shen Qi who had registered to participate, which stunned the staff.

He even suspected that this Lamborghini was a tool vehicle, and that the club's logistics staff would drive the real racing car over later.

"Mr. Shen...Mr. Shen, please come in, Maintenance Room No. 7."

"Thank you."

Amid the staff's stuttering, Shen Qi drove into the venue.

When registering for a race, you mainly register the player's information and do not need to submit the type of car you will be racing in advance.

Drivers who have the conditions can drive any car according to the conditions of the day, as long as it meets the specifications and standard requirements.

Maintenance Room No. 7

Being assigned here means that Shen Qi's randomly drawn starting position is No. 7. There are a total of 18 drivers participating, ranking in the front middle position.

"Comfortable."

In the maintenance room, Shen Qi was moving his limbs.

It is indeed comfortable to participate in the regular season, which is more entertaining and casual.

The starting positions for T-class events are not randomly drawn. A positioning race must be run first, and the starting order is determined by the time taken for a single lap.

There is no doubt about the fairness of the race, but it is very tiring. After running the positioning race at full speed, there is only half an hour to rest, and then the official competition begins.

Entering the maintenance room, the general route and level information of this competition has been given.

Start from Route 7, enter the Golden Tunnel, and take the fork road back to the starting point.

The winner is determined by two laps, with a single lap length of 63 kilometers.

On the east and west sides of Jinhuang City are Roads 8 and 7 respectively. In the game, players can quickly travel between these two places through underground passages.

In reality, the so-called underground passage is actually the Golden Tunnel.

Jinhuang City is well connected, and many trips require passing through here on the way.

For example, if you go from Cerulean City to Vermilion City in a straight line, you will pass through Golden City.

Due to the huge size of super first-tier cities, traffic congestion will occur no matter how wide the roads in the city are. Vehicles passing through the city will be hindered, and the distance around the outer ring road of the city is too far.

So Jinhuang City built a golden tunnel at the bottom of the city.

If your destination is not in the city and you are just passing through, you can take the Golden Tunnel to go directly through the entire city underground, making the journey smooth.

The Golden Tunnel has undergone several expansions and diversions. In addition to the main road, there are some side roads that are rarely used. The section of road used for today's race is one of the side roads of the Golden Tunnel.

"Doesn't that mean there's a large section of the track underground?"

The underground track has no natural light and relies entirely on electric lights for lighting. It’s exciting just to think about it.

While the drivers were confirming the preliminary track information, the organizers were also confirming the information of the cars that had arrived today, matching the cars with the drivers one by one and listing them on the big screen.

"What kind of car is that? A lamb?"

"Little sheep! It can't be a D-class car used by small merchants."

After hearing this, the audience who had raised questions earlier realized that it was the most common type of car outside the city and in small towns and villages, the Lamborghini!

"That's too much. Driving a D-class car to participate in the competition."

"that is!"

From A to D, any level of car can be registered for the regular season and T-level race as long as it meets the basic requirements.

If you want to drive a broken car to be funny or to attract attention, just follow the rules.

The reason why the audience feels angry is because they really love racing.

Instead of registering in a joking manner, you might as well give the opportunity to other drivers. Seeking attention is disrespectful to this sport.

"Boy, this isn't your race car, is it?"

A rough voice was heard, and a burly man with a spiky head and wearing a karate uniform was standing outside the door of the maintenance room No. 6 next door. His eyes were as big as cowbells and they were piercing. When he touched his chin, his mustache was about to stand up with anger.

“It’s my race car.”

Shen Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Not having money to buy a good car was one thing, but the game props were only suitable for the Lamborghini and could not be used on other models.

Giving Shen Qi an A-class car now may not necessarily produce the same impressive performance as a Lamborghini.

"Humph."

The karate man blew out two streams of air from his nostrils, obviously mistaking Shen Qi for a prankster who was not taking the competition seriously.

"If you don't respect competition, you won't get respect from others."

The man left, and there was a green figure with braids outside the door.

Sand bell cactus…

Jigglypuff translated the other party's words.

"Why are you driving a scooter to participate in the competition?"

The van is not designed for racing at all. Even if the space is large enough and there is enough room for modification, this body will not work. It is too high and has too much resistance.

In the field of racing, it can be said that there is basically no aerodynamic design.

"I'm not trying to be funny, it's just my financial situation. And I'm used to driving a SUV, so I can't drive other cars the same way."

"Oh my god..."

When Shaling Cactus first heard that Shen Qi and Miss Qun'er were no longer partners, she didn't think it was a bad thing. However, she remembered that Shansheng had commented that Shen Qi's upper limit was higher than Miss Qun'er, and Shaling felt a little dissatisfied for her good friend.

Now it seems that it is no longer a question of whether the upper limit is high or not. If Shen Qi is only suitable for driving a scooter, then it means that he is not suitable to be a driver.

The game was almost about to start, so Sand Bell Cactus had to get ready and leave in a hurry.

Shen Qi didn't want to give too much explanation to either the karate man or the sand bell cactus.

Just show your achievements.

The result is acceptable and shows that he has a serious attitude towards competition. So what if he drives a tractor?

Chapter 248: What a Powerful Little Sheep

"Am I dazzled?!"

"That one on the track is... a little sheep!!!"

The contestants stopped at their respective starting positions, and more spectators discovered the little sheep.

Some viewers thought that the person who came was a clown seeking to attract attention, which was not common, but there were indeed such boring people who signed up for the competition to make fun of others, and they might even open a vulgar and earthy live broadcast room;

Another group of spectators thought that an accident might have happened, the normal racing car broke down, and the contestant did not want to give up, so he drove out the logistics tool vehicle, just hoping that he could persevere to the end of the race.

Mengge Cactus specially bought a seat near the front to watch the game, and he and Lieque were stunned.

No matter what, no one thought that Shen Qi was really going to drive the Lamborghini to compete seriously.

As I said, let’s speak with strength.

Sha Ling Cactus was lucky and started in third place.

The karate man in front of Shen Qi summoned a Rumble Rock while warming up the car.

A fellow like this, weighing at least 600 pounds, cannot possibly participate in a Pokémon-standard competition. He is too heavy to be a driver or assistant, so he can only follow the trainer and stay in a half-activated Poké Ball rack without taking up weight.

The five red lights went out one by one and the leading car started.

While pressing the accelerator, Jigglypuff uses "self-motivation" as communicated in advance.

Shen Qi's general energy coordination proficiency is as high as 91%, which can easily alleviate the benefit effect of the Jigglypuff Riot.

Combined with the refined operations learned from Teacher Kika, the effect of "self-motivation" to enhance attack is retained for now, and special attack is simply enhanced to increase torque at low speeds.

【Global Eye】, open!

A full-view surveillance camera appears above the Lamborghini, allowing users to observe the vehicle's condition from an aerial perspective.

Shen Qi was in the center of the car group, and he had to avoid bumps and collisions while driving.

With the perspective of the [Global Eye], there is no need to be careful in judgment, and you can clearly see how big the gap is between you and other cars.

I always felt like I was going to hit the car next to me, but in fact there was still a gap of about one centimeter. The little Lamborghini boldly accelerated and slid past, slipping through the traffic like a loach to the 6th place.

"Eh? That little sheep is quite interesting."

"Yeah, it seems like there really is technology."

As the race progressed, the first and second echelons of vehicles gradually emerged after two corners.

The sand bell cactus continued to maintain the third place at the start, and the karate uncle drove the racing car "Wind Horse" to the fourth place.

The Lamb is at the front of the second echelon, in sixth place. As long as it surpasses the fifth place in front, there will be a long and spacious section of road with no cars in front.

When entering the turn, the front of the Lamborghini was closely attached to the car in front, and when it was about to overtake at the exit of the turn, its route was still blocked.

The driver in front broke out in a cold sweat.

I’ve often been overtaken in competitions, which is completely normal, but I felt particularly nervous today.

If a D-class car is allowed to be overtaken by a small lamb, the professional attitude and competitive concept will suffer a critical blow.

"My hand is raw."

Shen Qi muttered to himself.

It's true that I haven't driven for a long time, so my skills are a bit rusty, otherwise I would have been able to overtake just now.

It's not just a matter of being unfamiliar with the techniques. I didn't know how to use "Wild Princess" and didn't have [Global Eye] before. There are two extra auxiliary techniques that require distraction and attention, and I have to grasp the rhythm of allocating energy.

"Jelly, get ready to overtake at the next turn."

Following Shen Qi's instructions, Jigglypuff has begun accumulating "help".
