Pokémon development strategy

"Shansheng, is your sister here too?"

"Yes, the Shiso team has five drivers coming to participate in the winter race."

The older sister next to her stretched out her hand, and a pair of bracelets with colorful pendants on her wrists collided, making a crisp sound.

"This is my first formal self-introduction. I'm Ayumi, the current leader of the Shiso Racing Team."

This was just the first formal conversation; the two sides had met before.

Ayumi was also present during the car logo showdown. When she saw Shen Qi, she did not communicate with him, but just took a quick glance inside and outside the car.

Today, Shen Qi checked into the hotel. When he was taking the elevator, he found that Shan Sheng was also there, so he made an appointment for dinner and took the opportunity to see the grouping situation for tonight.

Three days later, the first round of trainer-level preliminaries will begin, and different preliminaries venues and groups will be announced tonight.

In the small private room, Ayumi brushed her hair off her shoulders and turned on the TV with her other hand.

When he saw her, Shen Qi always felt that something was a little bit out of place. Now, when he saw the other person's hand operating the remote control, he finally reacted.

Ayumi didn't have her nails done, no manicure.

Her dressing style tends to be that of a discotheque master or a nightclub queen, with fashionable and hot clothing combinations, and her makeup and clothes bring out her charm to the fullest.

The racing girl waving the black and white checkered flag at the racetrack is also three points weaker.

Older sisters with this style often get manicures to add more decoration to their palms, but Ayumi is a professional racing driver and was promoted to T2 two years ago.

Although she is not the driver with the highest points in the Shiso Club, her skills are unquestionable. She has considerable leadership and control abilities. She is also the daughter of the big boss, so it is natural for her to be the current team leader.

"Shen Qi, my judgment is very accurate, right?" Shan Sheng smiled proudly.

He was talking about the judgment after the regular season in Qianhong City, which indicated that Shen Qi was not suitable to be a deputy.

Because Ah Xing and Shan Sheng happened to give hints from different angles, Shen Qi realized the mistake he made in teaming up with Miss Qun'er at that time.

"You're awesome." Shen Qi raised his glass of juice and made a toast. "Now Miss Qun'er and I are moving forward on our own paths, and we're both doing pretty well."

"You're so weird." Ayumi put down the remote control. "It's fine if you drive a SUV to participate in the regular season, but you dare to drive it to participate in the winter season."

"Every driver may have a favorite car in his life. My favorite car is the Lamborghini."

"Heh~" Ayumi smiled kindly, obviously not believing it, and only said: "The group program is about to begin."

During the autumn competition, Miss Skirt knew her group and venue nearly ten days in advance, because she was participating in a Pokémon-standard competition.

For Shen Qi, whose schedule started a week earlier, the grouping and venue were determined today and he will have to participate in the competition right after. The buffer period in between is not that long and the atmosphere is more tense.

As the scene on the screen changed from the guests' casual chat to the live draw room, Ayumi's temperament that could easily control little boys disappeared. She picked up the cold dish with a pair of chopsticks involuntarily and almost broke the poor cucumber strips.

"Don't be grouped with my sister! Don't be grouped with my sister!"

Shansheng kept muttering to himself and chewing the cold beef tripe at a high speed. If you didn't know better, you would have thought he was having a seizure.

Shen Qi was not that nervous, not because he had a good mentality, but because he knew too few drivers, and even if he drew a strong one, he would not know who the other party would be.

Another huge advantage is... Shen Qi drives a scooter, so losing to anyone is commendable, and anyone who loses to Shen Qi will suffer a psychological blow.

As of the end of registration ten days ago, the number of Pokémon drivers who signed up was 363, sixty or seventy more than in the autumn race.

There are 1310 trainer-level racers, which is indeed much more than the Pokémon team, so about 3/4 of them will be eliminated in an early round, and the progress of the competition will be similar to that of the Pokémon team.

"The number of Pokémon and trainer drivers is much greater than in the Autumn Tournament."

“Yes, whether it’s fighting, racing, or other events, the spring and winter competitions have the most participants.”

The start of the winter season is almost the same as the students’ winter vacation, and there is also the annual vacation, so students and office workers can take time to participate;

The spring season is in March and April during the spring break, and ends in the new semester.

"Yeah!" Shansheng suddenly howled, "Yeah!".

The group on the screen didn't have his name on it, but Ayumi's was.

Shansheng was very happy that he was not assigned to the same group with his sister.

Ayumi was so angry that she pinched her brother, "Don't you see how bad my group is? What's the matter?!"

The group that Ayumi was assigned to included T2 rider Ayame.

Cerulean Gym, the second sister of the four Misty sisters.

In the Vermilion City Autumn Tournament, the Pokémon champions are the combination of Mosquito, Neon, and Heart. Their trainer is named Sakura, the eldest of the four sisters in the Cerulean Gym.

Sakura's own driving skills are average, but the Pokémon she raises are very good at driving;

The second sister Acorus, on the other hand, is a very good driver.

In addition to the masters in the same group, Ayumi also has another member of the Shiso team.

This is very embarrassing. Everyone wants to advance, and one of their own places will eventually be taken up.

There were more than sixty groups in the first round of the trainer-standard winter competition, but the Shiso team only had five drivers. It was really unlucky that they ran into each other here.

"That can't be helped." Shan Sheng rubbed the painful spot, "I'll always run into my own people when I advance to the next round. Just don't eliminate me in the first round."

"Please improve yourself. If your grades keep getting worse, you'll have to become a broker."

Logically speaking, Shen Qi felt that Shan Sheng must be better than a driver as an auxiliary trainer or agent.

When the third dish was served, Shansheng's hand holding the noodles suddenly trembled and he let out another pig-slaughtering howl.

"Ayaka—, it's Ayaka from Yuhong High School!"

The champion of this year's summer and autumn competitions, the best driver student at Yuhong High School, the driver of the Rainbow Flying Sword...

With a long list of titles, he can be said to be the most shining T3 driver in the Kanto region.

Ayaka's goal is to win the Winter Championship, achieve three consecutive championships, and get into the top 2 in T10 next year. She will be certified as a T2-level driver with the highest standards, which will also be a glory in her high school resume.

"Is high school so competitive now?" Shen Qi couldn't help but complain, "You need to win three consecutive championships as a resume."

"First-class universities like Yuhong High School are strong. It is difficult for ordinary universities to produce such talents."

On the screen, Shen Qi's name finally popped up.

"Lampurchi...is heading towards the White Cape."

Lanpulqi, a very famous sunny beach resort, is a forty or fifty minute drive from Jinhuang City.

There were nearly a hundred race tracks in the first round of preliminaries for Trainer drivers and Pokémon drivers, and the organizers really used all the available tracks in the surrounding areas.

Fortunately, the Pokémon-standard competition was held later, so the same track had time to be changed and used again. The first round on the trainer side was also divided into two parts and started one after another, giving the organizers room for adjustment.

Chapter 313 Little Lamb's Brilliant Achievements

"Shen Qi is very lucky. He didn't run into any strong people."

"No, I have a T2 racer here too."

"That's normal," Ayumi responded. "For T2 drivers who are not that strong, T3 events are a very good practice opportunity."

Even though the driver points received by drivers above T2 in T3 events are halved, it is still a good training arena.

The T2 competition is equivalent to the highest level competition in the entire region and is only held once a year. If you want to fully practice, you can only participate in the high-level regular season and the T3 four times a year.

“Fortunately, there were no T1 drivers involved.”

"Occasionally."

Ayumi recalled some unpleasant memories.

T1 drivers belong to world-class drivers. Sometimes, when they want to practice in T3 level events, they would be too embarrassed to just sign up and beat the noobs. There is no point in winning the championship, and it would be particularly embarrassing if they failed.

Therefore, once a T1 driver is ready to participate, he will often contact drivers of the same level to participate together. With multiple T1 drivers competing, it will not seem as embarrassing as coming to the fish pond alone to fry fish.

Ayumi had experienced that summer season, with five T1 drivers participating, which was a hellish experience.

There is no need to elaborate, Shen Qi can also imagine that kind of helplessness.

"However, there is a very strange apprentice driver in my group."

The list on TV had passed, and it was time to draw lots for other groups. Shen Qi turned on his phone and pulled out the list of Group A for the Lanpulqi track.

The riders I recognize on the list are the prayer master Wu Jiang and then "Yue Ai".

"This driver appeared in the Golden City regular season in mid-November, driving a very strange car called the Incubator."

Generally speaking, there is no simultaneous live broadcast or rebroadcast of regular season games, so there is no place to watch game replays.

The standard of that regular season was high, with driver points, so at least I could find some text reports.

"Look, this is it."

There are many regular season games in the Kanto region, and Shen Qi took some effort to find the one against the Rainbow Flying Sword.

It could be that the fans or Yuhong High School controlled the popularity, or it could be that not many people reported on the regular season. No matter how well Ayaka performs, she is still only a T3 level driver for now.

"Wow, this is a disaster."

Shan Sheng was quite surprised when he saw the result of the competition.

Some regular season races with points rewards have very scary lineups, and there may even be small circle races among T1 drivers themselves.

In this situation, it's not surprising that Ayaka lost.

But the Golden City regular season that Shen Qi mentioned had an average lineup of players in the regular season with points. The strongest among them were Mengge Cactus and another veteran T2-level trainer.

The winning Qingteng Snake just got enough points this year to advance to T2.

In this kind of competition, Ayaka couldn't even make it into the top 5 with the Rainbow Flying Sword, and ranked 6th.

"This this..." Shan Sheng stuttered for a while, "You drove the Lamb and defeated Ayaka's Rainbow Sword!"

In the regular season of Jinhuang City, Shen Qi finally got the 5th place, which was indeed higher than Ayaka in terms of ranking.

"That's not the point. Pay attention to the No. 7 incubator."

Compared to Shan Sheng, sister Ayumi seemed much calmer. "To be fair, if any experienced driver saw this report card, they would definitely focus on the fact that Little Sheep ranked higher than Rainbow Sword..."

Ayaka, who won both the summer and autumn championships of T3, was defeated by Shen Qi, the driver of a Class D car.

"Stop talking." Shen Qi just felt embarrassed.

If we really compare them, Shen Qi will definitely not be able to beat Ayaka. This kind of thing cannot be used for bragging.

Shan Sheng and Ayumi read on along with the brief text report, which did mention that the incubator defended the Rainbow Flying Sword, and almost defended the entire first circle.

In terms of performance, the incubator is rated as a Class B car, and certainly cannot be compared with the Rainbow Flying Sword developed by Yuhong University in collaboration with other major manufacturers.

Shen Qi was not as knowledgeable as the club staff in terms of car design and modification, so he asked tentatively, "Is it possible... The incubator is said to be a Class B car, and it has been heavily modified inside. It's just a car shell."

"It is not necessary to change the structure of a B-class car to A-class parts."

The reason for the grade division is that there are distinct differences in performance between grades ABCD.

Class D is used by small businesses and operators. Some very cheap family vehicles will also be classified here.

The C-class belongs to the range from regular family cars to ordinary performance cars. Most mainstream family cars are in this segment.

Sports cars and sports models have begun to appear in the B-class. Some luxury cars worth tens of millions of b are designed purely for dignity and comfort, and are only in the B-class.

At this point, most cars are used to carry people. Even top luxury cars pursue ultimate comfort and luxurious experience. The materials consider safety and stability more, and sometimes they also have bulletproof and explosion-proof designs.

I have not reached the pinnacle in competition, let alone dismantling the air conditioner and speakers.

For A-class cars, first of all, the body material will be extremely lightweight, and a large amount of special materials with good energy conductivity properties will be added, plus energy circuits will cover almost all major components.

With a racing car built in this way, the driver can sense the vehicle's condition at any time and can also keenly capture external energy fluctuations.

When changing from a B-class to an A-class, no matter how the internal structure is changed, the materials of the shell and frame will be different.

If someone has a bad taste and uses all the materials of an A-class car to create a car that looks like an existing B-class car, that's not impossible, but that's not called a modification...

Moreover, when the car is registered and archived, the vehicle management department will know that it is a Class A car as soon as it is identified, and the organizer will also know it when reading the registration information.

Excluding the possibility that the incubator is a modified B-class car, it is at most the best among B-class cars, and its performance is definitely different from that of the Rainbow Flying Sword, which shows that it has great technical and tactical advantages.

"That incubator, is the piloting skill strong?"

"I don't know..." Shen Qi recalled, "If he really ran, he might be weaker than me."

Even if the incubator had not been defended by the Rainbow Flying Sword at that time, even if it started running side by side with the little sheep, it still could not catch up with Shen Qi.

This is because the racer has a variety of weather tactics, and even created a very rare "snow scene", which caught Ayaka off guard.

In addition, there was a T2 driver who was also blocked behind and kept interfering, so the Rainbow Flying Sword didn't find a chance to overtake until the last minute.
