Pokémon development strategy

The rest of this regular season was not large in scale, held at the village or town level. The first place got 3b, followed by 2b and 1b. The top five didn't even get double reimbursement for energy consumption, nor did they get any item rewards, only subsidies for the energy consumed in the game.

Looking at the order of the group photos, there seems to be a tie for 3rd place, and then directly 5th place.

No matter what, Miss Qun'er pocketed the 1b bonus.

Driving a racing car all the way across the ferry to the Hoenn region to get a bonus of 1b is not really a profit. At most, it can be called a reimbursement of travel expenses.

Considering Mayumi provided the accommodation for free, it was indeed a small profit.

"Shen Qi!"

At the side of the audience, the fossil-mad brother waved over here.

After chatting in Shilin Street the day before yesterday, he went back to watch last year's winter competition in the Kanto region. He was surprised that there was such a person as Shen Qi, and immediately introduced him to his fellow shopkeepers.

A group of people came up to greet him, and those who didn't know thought that Shen Qi had won the championship.

"How is your brother?"

"Still no news."

As of now, the older brother of the fossil-crazy brothers has been at Meteor Falls for more than three days.

It is normal to take one or two months to explore Meteor Falls. The place is too big and climbing up and down is time-consuming.

But Brother Fossil Maniac signed up for the Far Lake regular season, and originally planned to just wander around Meteor Falls and do some light exercise, and he didn’t even bring all his Pokémon.

I didn't expect to be gone for so long and miss the regular season.

Generally speaking, if a family member goes missing in the mountains, the police should have been called long ago. However, it is different for explorers such as fossil enthusiasts. It is normal for them to return later than the scheduled time. Calling the police is basically a false alarm and a waste of social resources.

So the fossil-mad brother thought about coming to the competition today, but his brother didn’t show up, so he took his friends into the mountains.

As one of the famous explorers in Akiba Town and Route 114, Fossil Maniac has strong personal strength, suitable Pokémon, and the ability to gather people, so it is not difficult for him to form a team to search.

"Any clues?"

They are all experts in outdoor challenges, and some are members of a secret base guild. Survival in the wild is not a problem, but they always have to have a search direction.

Meteor Falls is not the two- or three-story structure with two or three small rooms in the game. In reality, it belongs to a water erosion landform area with confusing and intertwined caves. The forest area outside can accommodate several golden cities.

No matter how experienced the fossil-crazy brother and his companions are, they cannot find a needle in a haystack by conducting a carpet search.

"Yes, my brother sent me some photos two days before he left, but we lost contact the next afternoon."

Up to now, Brother Fossil Maniac has lost contact for more than a day.

This... is still normal. There is no signal in the mountains. Meteor Waterfall is a space inside the mountain, which makes it even more isolated from the world.

The fossil fanatic sent the few photos he had to Shen Qi, which were nothing more than some rare scenery along the way.

Later on, the camera clearly entered the cave, capturing some places that might be worth excavating, as well as carvings left on the stone walls by explorers coming and going.

Everything shows that the Fossil Maniac brother took the regular route. He did not bring all the Pokémon with him before going out, and he also said that he only walked around the periphery of Meteor Falls.

As a hardcore explorer, I feel uncomfortable if I don't go into the mountains for a few days, which affects my condition in the regular season of Yuanyao Lake. Of course, my younger brother understands and thinks it's normal at first.

Now that the regular season has been missed, my brother plans to go into the mountains to be on the safe side.

"Shen Qi, let's meet again when you come back."

"You guys be careful too."

"Don't worry, we are all veterans."

The regular season was over, and Miss Skirt came running over to join them, leaving the Jackrabbit terrified.

Their performance was still not stable enough. Long-Eared Rabbit made a mistake once and the skill sequence of "Help" became unstable. The short burst turned into an instant explosion, which caused the tires to slip and wear significantly.

Fortunately, Duoduo followed Shen Qi, and Jigglypuff's "help" was very rough, so Duoduo was experienced and only used "electromagnetic levitation" slightly to leave the ground.

Since there is no power when skidding, it is better to lift the car body to avoid the tires digging up the soil and avoid losing control.

Later, Duoduo also made mistakes.

"High-speed movement" increases the speed gear. Today is a sunny day, and Miss Qun'er's "chlorophyll" characteristic also increases speed.

Due to the lack of cooperation, Duoduo's skill connection conflicted with Miss Qun'er's characteristics, and driving was smooth only after the skills were cancelled.

Finally, I got the third place without any danger.

"It's pretty good." Shen Qi hugged his Pokémon, "It's an exciting competitive experience, and there are bonuses."

After finishing the regular season, it’s time for Miss Skirt to take a break.

Shen Qi reluctantly squeezed into the small bucket seat of the Corolla and drove back.

Mrs. Hua Jie will be driving the straw raincoat and taking Jilidan to Qiuye Town.

After eating and taking a shower, Shen Qi thought about where to go next.

The exhibit renewal cycle of the two exhibition halls in Qiuye Town has not yet arrived, but I can wander around the Shilin Street District as long as I want. Do I really have to take my chances day after day for the rest of the holiday?

Chapter 376 Meteorite Mural

Swiping his phone, Shen Qi accidentally found the photo of the fossil maniac.

The topography and scenery are incomprehensible to outsiders, but the graffiti carved in the caves by explorers coming and going are quite interesting.

The explorers had no intention of destroying the original landscape, so most of what they left behind were well-intentioned reminders and some small signs expressing their feelings.

The location of one of the stone carvings is quite special. There is a ball drawn near the top of the cave, and also a meteor-like object with a long flight trajectory.

It is a picture of a meteorite hitting a planet, carved in a meteor waterfall that was hit by a meteorite two thousand years ago, and it really matches the scene.

I guess this explorer wanted to paint a fitting little mural.

"Oh, there's a next one."

It is the same planet, but the meteorite that was approaching was drawn into fragments, meaning that it exploded before hitting the planet and the original devastating impact did not occur.

This is a bit strange... Why would a mural that doesn't match history be drawn? Or maybe it's just a random doodle by an explorer with a whimsical idea, so there's no need to delve into it.

Enlarging the picture, Shen Qi discovered that there were tiny words on the sides of the upper and lower pictures of the real planet.

Because the mural is located at a relatively high position, and Fossil Maniac just casually took the photo, it is too blurry and the outline of the text cannot be seen clearly. Even asking Duoduo to clarify the photo did not work.

Meteorites...exploded before hitting the planet?

It reminds me of the story of the Hoenn region in the Mega Evolution World Online.

There were many huge meteorite strikes there, and the last one happened at about the same time as Shen Qi traveled through time.

The protagonist played by the player has won the league championship. The Green Ridge City Space Research Center has discovered that a meteorite is approaching the planet and will hit near Waterway 131.

Once it hits Mushui Town, Liuli City, and Caiyou City where the Elf Alliance in the Hoenn region is located, the generated tsunamis will destroy the port of Kaina City and continue to spread deep inland.

In the end, the protagonists brought the mega version of Super Rayquaza to smash the meteorite and resolve the regional-level crisis.

Only in this story is there a phenomenon where a meteorite suddenly explodes before hitting the planet.

Shen Qi had some doubts in his mind. After thinking about it, he sent a message to Zimei.

Mayumi is in good health and is carrying out her research work normally. Azumi is lying in bed recuperating and cannot go out for research, so she has more free time.

The question mentioned in the information seemed a bit confusing at first glance. Shen Qi wanted to ask whether there was a meteorite in history that was about to hit a planet but exploded halfway for various reasons.

While sending messages to inquire, Shen Qi began to use search engines to look for large meteorites recorded in history.

The most are in the Hoenn region. Glass City and Meteor Falls were both formed by meteorites. Green Ridge City was also hit by meteorites in history. The situations in these world lines are similar.

In the Kanto region, Mt. Tsukimi was formed by a meteorite, and there are some small meteorite spots scattered around.

But... I really haven't found any record of a meteorite exploding midway.

Zimei didn't reply to the message, but called directly in a hurry. It was obvious that she was so bored that she just wanted to chat with someone.

"Why are you asking such a strange question all of a sudden?"

"I happened to see a mural taken by an explorer at Meteor Falls, which depicted a meteorite exploding before approaching the planet."

"Well... boring, explorers just scribbled when they had nothing to do or found nothing."

Zimei thought it was some great scientific discovery or a fantasy or science fiction story.

She clearly responded that in the early days when technology was not well developed, humans could not observe meteorites exploding in the universe.

In modern times, at most there have been sporadic and small meteorites falling on planets, and there has absolutely been no incident of a giant meteorite being blasted apart by the power of Pokémon or super weapons.

"That's it..."

"When are you going to come and play with me? My sister won't let me go out, it's really boring."

"Of course you can't run around in your current state. Wait at least a month or two."

"I'll really grow grass then, and become a grass-type Pokémon!"

Amid Zimei's wailing, Shen Qi ended the call.

After thinking about it, Shen Qi was still a little curious about the mural. It might be because he had played different versions of the game and his thoughts were more sensitive.

Especially since there were words next to the picture, Shen Qi wanted to know what the words said.

Thinking of this, Shen Qi sent a message to his fossil-crazy brother, asking him to take another clearer photo of the mural and stone carving that his brother had taken if it was convenient.

The younger brother took his friends to search and rescue, and Shen Qi also said that it was okay if it was inconvenient, as it was more important to do the right thing.

About ten minutes later, I received a message from my fossil-mad brother on my phone, and he sent me a photo of the stone carving.

He and his companions were going to follow the clues left by their brother to confirm the direction, so they matched the explorer's graffiti with the previous photos to identify the search path. After arriving at the place, they took another photo. Just when Shen Qi needed it, they sent it to him.

Later on, the fossil-crazy brother is about to enter the mountain where the meteor waterfall is located and is about to lose contact.

Shen Qi reminded him to be careful before opening the new photo.

Out of consideration for rescue, the fossil-crazy brother did not just take random photos. The photos were very clear, and you can see that the strokes of the small characters are neat, not like random graffiti...

"What's this word?"

The characters in the Pokémon world are very similar, especially in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, which are relatively close to each other and have basically no difference.

Alola, Kalos, Galar and other more distant places also use the mainstream text structure of the Pokémon world, but there are some more expressions with local characteristics, which can be generally understood.

But in the photo, Shen Qi really couldn't recognize any of the inscriptions next to the meteorite graffiti.

"Duoduo." Shen Qi called out, "Do you recognize the written materials here?"

Duoduo connects to the mobile phone via a data cable to recognize the text on the image.

Guji!

He concluded that the text on the stone carving was not modern text at all, but an ancient version.

There was no research on the relevant texts on the Internet. Duoduo had once worked in the academic circle with Dr. Akihabara and had only seen the ancient texts by chance.

In ancient times, humans had already begun to form bonds with Pokémon, and were able to use skills such as flying and surfing to travel long distances.

Therefore, the ancient people in the Pokémon world have closer connections than the world before Shen Qi traveled through time. The degree of tribal cultural differentiation and the time span are not too long, which leads to the situation that the main structure of global languages ​​and writing is basically the same.

Even so, each region has its own ancient language. Civilization was formed in Sinnoh, the place of creation, and in other places as well. Some tribes and technological developments of the same period were even more advanced than those of Sinnoh.

The stone characters that Duoduo recognized were not Sinnoh, but the ancient characters of the Hoenn region.

"Ancient Hoenn texts record that a meteorite hit the planet... Meteor People?!"

Chapter 377 Meteor and Glass

As mentioned before, in the super evolution world line, the Green Ridge Universe Center detected that a huge meteorite was about to hit the planet. In fact, the Meteor People had predicted this event thousands of years ago.

Deep in the Meteor Falls, there is a place called "Meteor Village", and the tribe living there is called the Meteor People.

They have the ability to detect natural disasters and communicate with Rayquaza.

Are there meteor people in the normal world line?

Shen Qi tried to search the keywords "Meteor Village" and "Meteor People", but did not get the corresponding answer. The information he found showed that no explorer had found any traces of ancient people living in Meteor Falls.

Then...how come there is a picture of a meteorite being depicted in the ancient language of Hoenn?

If you say it's a coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence.

The murals are obviously newly carved. If they originated from ancient times, they would have been dug out and protected by scientific researchers over the years in such a conspicuous place.

A modern person used an ancient dialect to depict a mural of a meteorite falling and exploding midway...
