Pokémon development strategy

"Too polite."

After all, he has been a veteran driver for two lifetimes. Shen Qi remained calm, with only a slight smile on his face. He moved forward gracefully and took the lemon soda solemnly with both hands.

Ayaka narrowed her starry eyes, "Since you have accepted the duel, please give it your all."

"Uh-huh????"

Chapter 315 Duel Wine

"Multi-player."

Under Shen Qi's dull gaze, Ayaka took out the second bottle of lemon soda from her bag and handed it to him.

Duowu, with a much more solemn expression, did not dare to delay. He took a deep breath, then walked forward with a resolute attitude and took the soda with both hands.

At this time, there was constant discussion in the audience.

"It's dueling wine!"

"That's weird. It's understandable that Ayaka challenged a T2 driver, but the car that boy was driving... seemed to be a Lamborghini. He must have come here to attract attention."

"Even if Kai Xiao Yang took the competition seriously, he wouldn't have challenged Ayaka to a duel with him."

"Damn it, I also want to drink the drink that Ayaka gives me and then be defeated by her."

"Hey, get out."

Listening to the audience's words, the embarrassment in Shen Qi's heart was like an underwater whirlpool that was about to suck his soul into the abyss.

“This…this thing…”

"Duel wine." Duo Wu looked at Shen Qi in confusion. "Duel rituals are indeed rare in T3 competitions. It's normal that you haven't been exposed to it... But I just saw that you knew how to catch it with both hands, so I naturally thought you knew it."

Dueling wine was one of the rituals used in ancient times when two armies faced off against each other or dueled for justice.

It is sent by the party proposing the duel, and the other party accepts it to show their agreement.

In ancient times, some unscrupulous warriors would poison the duel wine, so it was not necessary to drink it on the spot. Sometimes, the soldiers or the party delivering the wine would be asked to take a sip first.

The ceremony has been passed down to the modern day and does not necessarily require alcohol. Any beverage of a similar color to alcohol will do, including mineral water. It can be used to propose battles, racing, and other competitions.

"I thought it was Ayaka who brought me a drink." Shen Qi rolled his eyes and almost awakened the bloodline of the Hyuga family.

"Ayaka's competition venue is over at Yumachi Pier. I drove over here to bring you a drink. How kind of a person of yours."

Duo Wu clasped his hands together and said, "When it comes to acrobatics, I lose to you."

When the duel wine was delivered from Yumachi Pier, Ayaka was actually under a lot of psychological pressure.

If she didn't do this, no one would know that Rainbow Flying Sword lost so badly in the regular season in Golden City.

Tourists who have seen Ayaka's words and actions now would slowly ask around and find out that the Rainbow Sword had actually lost to a D-class car.

This is the greatest pressure Ayaka has felt since becoming a driver.

After thinking it over, she decided to do so. With the idea of ​​facing past setbacks calmly, she came to deliver the duel wine with heavy steps. Shen Qi's misunderstanding relieved a lot of depression.

"Hehehe..." Ayaka couldn't help but chuckle, "If you want me to come and send you drinks, you'll have to work harder."

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Qi was unhappy. "The specifications of the duel wine are too low. If you have the guts, why not have a car logo duel?"

Ayaka's fair facial skin couldn't help but twitch twice.

My car is the A-class Rainbow Flying Sword, which is unique, and the logo is also the only one designed by Yuhong University and Caizhuang Group;

There's a little sheep across the street!

Not wanting to pay attention to Shen Qi's nonsense, Ayaka turned to the side, feeling the psychological burden again.

There is also a bottle of lemon soda in the plastic bag, and a duel drinking ritual can be performed. The target is of course... Meng Ai!

That incubator has relatively good performance among Class B cars. It is more reasonable to challenge Meng Ai to a duel than to challenge the owner of the Lamborghini.

But Mengai looks like that...is she really not an elementary school student?

Challenge her to a duel, which seemed a bit like bullying.

At this point, Ayaka had given duel wine to Shen Qi and Duo Wu, and was in a difficult situation.

This is a competition arena. Age is not an excuse to avoid fighting in the arena. The only reason Ayaka didn't give Meng Ai duel wine is that she looks down on her and doesn't consider her an opponent.

Outside the temporary maintenance room, Ayaka stood somewhat uneasily.

Shen Qi and Duo Wu, who also accepted the challenge, walked over there.

In the shed-like maintenance room, Meng Ai, who is the size of a little girl, is wiping her Pokémon.

Venusaur...

The three great Kanto warriors, the final form of the Grass type.

The incubator and Venusaur, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that Meng Ai’s background is not simple.

"…Contestant Meng Ai."

Ayaka hesitated for a long time and took out the lemon soda from the plastic bag.

"This... is for you."

Meng Ai put on the gray and white driver's suit early, which was similar to the regular season in Jinhuang City. She had a young and thin body, slightly messy ice-blue hair that barely reached her shoulders, and her eyes and expression tended to be dull.

Woohoo!

This is the cry of Venusaur.

Bulbasaur's call sounds like: seed, seed.

The final form of Venusaur is able to make the calls of the first three stages.

Bulbasaur's own: Flower~Woo~

Bulbasaur: Seeds, seeds

Bulbasaur: Grass!

After the Pokémon reminded her, a hint of liveliness appeared in Meng Ai's eyes.

Her steps were a little unsteady, like she was just learning to walk, and she trotted to the door, looking at Ayaka with her big eyes full of expectation.

Looking closely, Meng Ai's eyes are also very special, the same ice blue as her hair.

If a few more green tones were added... it would really look a bit like a petri dish, which would be really ugly.

Ayaka knew that Meng Ai in front of her had misunderstood.

If it were Shen Qi, he would be mocked by Ayaka and Duowu if he misunderstood, and Shen Qi would fight back by using the car logo.

The current target is Yume Ai, and Ayaka can't help but feel that the little girl is expecting a drink, but it turns out that this is a duel drinking ritual, which is quite cruel.

This is an arena!

Ayaka gritted her teeth and reminded herself again, then spoke the truth, "Contestant Meng Ai, this is duel wine. My goal is to win the Winter Championship and T3's third consecutive championship. I will definitely defeat you!"

The words were a bit harsh for the child, but Shen Qi and Duo Wu felt that they should still be given.

In the arena, the greatest respect is to fight with all your strength.

"liquor?"

Meng Ai was a little dazed and even leaned in to smell the bottle.

Due to the duel drinking ceremony, no matter whether you buy mineral water, lemonade or something else, the outer wrapping paper must be torn off.

Meng Ai was wondering if Ayaka had filled a beverage bottle with homemade wine as a gift.

"I...can't drink."

The voice was soft and weak, like a child talking in his sleep.

Unfortunately, she had to be told the reality...

"Meng Ai, it's like this..."

Ayaka squatted down and told him everything, and handed the duel wine closer.

"I'm just here to make up with my past failures. It's a ritualistic act, you can refuse it, it's okay."

Meng Ai was in a daze for a long time, and Ayaka felt a little bit sorry for her. She looked at the time and knew she had to go back to Yumachi Pier to play the placement match.

“Don’t force yourself…”

"Oh, it's okay..."

The little hand took the bottle of drinks, Meng Ai lowered her head and turned to go into the maintenance room.

When she remembered something and turned around to say thank you or goodbye out of politeness, she only saw Ayaka leaving in a hurry.

In the audience, some insiders have already spread the news about the Jinhuang City regular season. There are so many fans of Ayaka that they all hope to see with their own eyes the racer they support win the T3 three consecutive championships.

After checking the photos and text reports of the game at that time, the audience found that the Rainbow Flying Sword was blocked by the strange incubation cabin in various ways, and finally took 6th place in the regular season. They all complained.

Amid the hustle and bustle, Meng Ai returned to the maintenance room and silently hugged Bulbasaur.

Chapter 316: The Placement Match Is Different

The positioning race begins, with drivers entering the 10km test track one by one, and the starting order for the official race is determined by the time taken.

8 minutes 51 seconds;

8 minutes 53 seconds;

8 minutes and 41 seconds…

Looking at the scoreboard, Shen Qi knew that most of the drivers in the first round of preliminaries were not very good.

In the Vermilion City Autumn Race, Miss Qun'er's best lap time in the positioning race was 8 minutes and 29 seconds, and her explosive mentality would only slow her down by about ten seconds.

The positioning races are all 10km stages with the same difficulty.

In fact, it is pure fantasy to achieve the "same difficulty" in different places and on different tracks. Differences in road conditions, curves, and even climate will affect the difficulty. It is impossible to measure such an abstract concept.

However, the Drivers Association has its own dynamic balance standard, and the difficulty is roughly matched, so the positioning race results can be used as a side reference.

"Wow, Duowu 8 minutes and 10 seconds."

The silver-gray car body with star-shaped spots of light quickly crossed the finish line.

That's Duowu's race car, Gray Star.

A Class B car produced by Shenyue Company. The company name comes from Shenhui City + Yuejian Mountain. It is a company that is integrated with Yuejian Mountain's mining, tourism, and gardening industries.

On the scoreboard, Duowu jumped to the front position in one breath and temporarily ranked second.

"Now at the starting point of the positioning race is the little sheep!"

"Racing Driver Shen Qi"

Focus, absolute focus.

The shock of the little sheep stopping at the starting point is definitely no less than that of the Rainbow Flying Sword. It is a kind of shock that is hard to explain...

It was like an international cooking competition, with a wide variety of exquisite delicacies. The waiter brought the dishes with silver plate lids, and after removing the lids, it turned out to be fried rice with egg.

The style is different, but you can't say it doesn't taste good. After all, after Ayaka's act of sending duel wine, the audience checked some of Xiao Mian Yang's achievements, which were all good, and he was not a clown who made fun of the competition.

If you really have a record of sensationalism, you will be screened out when registering for T3.

With a strange sense of curiosity, the audience watched in silence as the little sheep took off.

baa!

"Wow, the car is going so fast."

"What a smooth acceleration!"

In the positioning race, the players start at intervals, and there are at most three cars on the track at the same time. Theoretically, there is a 1/3 track distance between them, so there is no need to be too cautious at the start to avoid car accidents.

Therefore, Shen Qi can let go, with the Jigglypuff "helping" him to get off to a quick start, while at the same time he uses [Racing Energy], "Wild Princess" to increase the air intake, and turns on [Adaptive Tail Wing].

After the "help" effect wore off, Shen Qi then used his extremely skilled general energy coordination.

This is energy coordination with 99% proficiency. Not only can it easily withstand the increasingly violent "self-motivation" of Chansey, but it also amplifies the effect and extends the duration.

Laymen watching the fun think that the Lamborghini is very fast, but the real experts realize that the driver's strength lies in controlling the tire's grip limit.
