Pokémon development strategy

"I'm at... Tsukimiyama Circuit."

Go west out of Cerulean City and take Route 4 directly to Yuejian Mountain.

Before reaching Mt. Tsukimi, you will first pass through a long section of undulating terrain, known as the foothills of Mt. Tsukimi.

Mount Tsukimi was formed by the impact of a falling meteorite, so one can imagine how complex the surrounding landforms are.

The official Route 4 is smooth and straight, but the summer season will certainly not make it that easy for the players. At most, there will be a starting point near the main road, and then it will soon turn to a wild road.

"Ugh, it will be too hot tomorrow."

The weather forecast can be seen directly from the event interface. The temperature in Hualan City is 28-39 degrees.

In Shen Qi's mind, the torment brought by the high temperature is more arduous than the possible difficulties at the foot of Yuejian Mountain.

Racers have to wear fire-resistant racing suits and helmets.

The performance of the racing car is entirely for competition, and there is basically no air conditioning... It's not that the air conditioning is not turned on, but there is no air conditioning at all to reduce this part of the weight.

The combination of competitive demands and hot weather is really torturous.

"It's still more comfortable in Qingshuang Village."

After expressing his feelings, Shen Qi continued to check the cars in the same group.

Lukia reminded Shen Qi to be careful, as there must be an expert in the same group.

"Sakuragi Castle!"

Koharu's A-class car.

And then there are… toy cars!

"Eh? Wen Jiu is participating in the competition?"

When Shen Qi first arrived in Hualan City, he looked at the first round of lottery interface and remembered that there was no toy car and Wen Jiu.

Thinking about it carefully, the group drawn was 33, which was the group Shen Qi was in, and the Rainbow Flying Sword suddenly appeared in the racing list.

Shen Qi was shocked at the time, and discussed it with Miss Qun'er, but he didn't bother to watch the next few groups carefully.

I think Wen Jiu was in those groups and was just ignored by chance.

Chapter 517 Senior Shen Qi!

"It's... so hot."

Cerulean City, Route 4, the starting point of the Tsukimi Foothills track.

Shen Qi changed into a racing suit and walked around outside, feeling like he was suffocating.

There is air conditioning in the maintenance room, but the problem is that we can't rely on it too much now. We have to gradually adapt to the temperature to avoid facing too drastic temperature changes in the air-conditioned room.

Duoduo and the clay doll were put into the Poké Ball first, but the Chansey egg did not score. They said it was for physical exercise, and the pink ball was covered with sweat.

'Is it hot?'

A pleasant voice was heard. Miss Qun'er not only didn't use the air conditioner, but was also wandering under the scorching sun.

Plants cannot be exposed to the sun too often, but as long as Miss Skirt drinks enough water, she will be very happy to move around in the sun.

"Miss Qun'er, you can sit in the driver's seat later."

In such hot weather, if a long-eared rabbit is allowed to sit on the passenger seat, she might faint from the heat.

Now!

The jackrabbit protested, she knew better than to be spoiled.

As soon as the summer season ends at the end of June, T6 will start in July. It will still be very hot then. Long-eared Rabbit cannot adapt to it now, and it is not possible for him to be Miss Skirt's deputy.

"I'm worried that you're working too hard and not getting enough rest."

Without discussing the pioneering games that may have new features, the T2 schedule is similar to T3, with a very tight schedule, and usually the next round is one day apart.

If the long-eared rabbit maintains the battle rhythm from now on and fights until T2, it is definitely not as good as conserving its energy in terms of being full of energy.

This is why very few drivers sign up for both the Summer Season and T2 at the same time.

Now…

The long-eared rabbit felt a little disappointed, as she felt that her level was still far from perfect.

"It's okay, take your time, you've only just arrived."

Long-Eared Rabbit only participated in last year's Winter Games and this year's Spring Games with Miss Skirt. It has been less than a year since he became a deputy. In the two T3 experiences, he even got 9th place in the Spring Games.

There is still a long way to go before Miss Qun'er can achieve her ideal T2 certification. It is even hard to say whether T2 can pass a round of preliminaries next month, but Long-Eared Rabbit's progress this year is already worthy of praise.

"How about this." Shen Qi suggested, "Don't come out for the qualifying round, come out for the main round."

The placement match was not challenging at all for Shen Qi.

There are 2 T2 level drivers in this game, pay attention to Sakuragi Castle, toy car, and then all T3 and apprentice.

In the information circle, the most famous T3s for now are only Lucia and Feiyue. I haven’t seen any super models or T3 dark horses.

Now!

The long-eared rabbit accepted Shen Qi's compromise suggestion, jumped onto the bench excitedly, and made a small gesture of hard work.

The rabbit's fur was slightly moist and messy because of sweat.

This…

Shen Qi stretched out his hand, "Or I can help you clean it manually."

The long-eared rabbit shook his head violently: I will faint!

"From now until the fall season, the weather will be quite hot, so we can actually choose to shave some hair."

hum-

Shen Qi took out the electric shaver and suggested seriously, "Mrs. Hua Jie cut your hair short a while ago, and now it's growing long again. I think it would be better to shave the part on your body, like Jigglypuff. It would be much cooler."

Hey!!!

The long-eared rabbit crossed its front legs and hugged its chest, shaking its head desperately, saying it was no use.

"Hehehe, Pokémon...it's okay, between Pokémon and humans..."

"Shen Qi, my colleague wants your autograph."

Outside the maintenance room, Junsha, her clothes soaked with sweat, walked into the air-conditioned room, breathed a sigh of relief, and then breathed it back in.

Shen Qi just said...

In hand is...

The jackrabbit... has been forced into a corner!

"Shen Qi!"

"Ms. Junsha! Please listen to my explanation."

"Hurry up and sign! Come see me after the game."

Junsha stared, took out a colleague's T-shirt and asked Shen Qi to sign it, then got a glass of water in the maintenance room and fed it to the two Pokémon who were responsible for patrolling the stadium... What kind of Pokémon is this?

After looking them up and down for several times, Shen Qi recognized that the two dogs following Junsha were long-haired. Because the weather was too hot, their fur, which was as thick as a blanket, had been shaved. To be honest, at first glance, they looked a bit like civet cats.

Wang?

Having received professional training, the long-haired dog keenly noticed that Shen Qi had a strange look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something very impolite.

"No, no, I didn't."

After Junsha left, Shen Qi sighed and decided to wait until tonight to ask Madam Hua Jie to do the job of shaving the long-eared rabbits.

"Shen Qi...Senior."

Another greeting came from outside the maintenance room. This time the address was a bit strange, with the word "senior" added.

"Ok?"

Shen Qi looked towards the door of the maintenance room and saw a boy of similar age wearing a baseball cap turned backwards, with a Pikachu following him.

This appearance almost makes people mistake it for the male protagonist Xiaozhi in the animation, the iconic character of the Pokémon animation.

It’s easy to imagine that it’s unlikely to be Xiaozhi, otherwise why would he call Shen Qi “Senior”.

"My name is Koji, and I'm a freshman at Spirit High School this year."

"what?"

Shen Qi had never heard that there were other students from Elf High School participating in the summer competition.

"Because I'm just a trainee driver." Koji introduced, "I have 181 driver points, but I've never been in the top 3 of T10, so I still need to work harder to be serious."

认证T3的积分门槛是200分，训练家规格的预赛第2轮晋级能拿10分、第3轮晋级能拿20分。

As long as Koji can advance to two more rounds in this competition, he will have enough points. If everything goes well, he can get into the top 10 and directly complete the certification goal.

Of course, this is the most ideal and dreamy development.

"It's already very good." Shen Qi expressed his admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Being a T3 driver is nothing, and it’s far from the attention generated by reviving ancient Pokémon, but it’s a very commendable honor for Pokemon High School.

"Hehehe, I'm a fan of Senior Shen Qi."

Hao Er touched his nose a little nervously, "When Senior Shen Qi brought back the skeleton fossil, I was too nervous to say hello to you. Fortunately, we met in the summer game."

As he spoke, two more Pokémon popped out from behind Koji.

Starfish, a Water + Psychic type, is considered a high-speed special attacker.

There is also a small dinosaur, Caracalla, wearing a skeleton helmet.

"There are only so few students at Elf High School, and everyone has a good relationship with each other. Don't be too polite."

If you think about it carefully, there are families in the Seven Islands that are well-off enough to allow a 15-year-old boy to raise multiple Pokémon and modify racing cars, but they generally will not be sent to Pokémon High School to study.

"No." Koji explained, "I'm not a resident of the Seven Islands."

"Don't you live in the Seventh Island? You can't be from the main continent of Kanto who came to the Spirit High School."

"I am a resident of Durian Island."

"Liu Gan Dao... Hao Er." Shen Qi thought for a moment, "You are Liu Li's son?"

"Hahaha, yes, my mother is the North Star, Liuli."

There is also a gym system within the Orange Islands. The four gyms are called the Southern Cross. Among them, the Northern Star Luli, because his son's shape and appearance are similar to Xiaozhi, he even mistook the two in the animation.

Chapter 518 The Path I Chose

The gym system of the Orange Islands is actually very simple. Four gyms and one chief trainer make up the so-called Orange Alliance.

The mode sounds a bit like the Four Heavenly Kings + Champion of the main continent area, but in fact the combat effectiveness is far worse.

The reason why the official recognized the Orange Alliance is to make it easier for trainers to get badges on the Orange Islands, the Seven Islands, and scattered islands far away from the main continent.

The role of badges in reality is actually more like "examination", that is, taking various certificates.

Challenging the gym to get badge certification is divided into three stages:

The first is a written test with a test paper;

The second is to test energy control; the third is the battle we are familiar with.

For example: passing the badge test of a Grass-type gym not only proves that one has the strength of the top T3, but also shows that one has reached a relatively high level in utilizing Grass-type energy, which is very helpful when looking for a related job.

The gyms in the Orange Islands will have a relatively low gold content, but for trainers who do not go to the main continent to find a job and live on the mainland and nearby islands, it is enough.

Among the Southern Cross, Liugan Gym cannot be said to be the strongest, but it has the best economic conditions.

Durian Island is the largest of the four islands where gyms are located, and even the largest island except for Little Orange Island.

Liuli manages Liugan Island in an orderly manner. She owns a large restaurant on the island and has a branch on the central Little Orange Island.

With such a family background and conditions, they would actually agree to let their child go to Elf High School.

If Koji had a better foundation, Liuli should be able to send him to a first-tier city.
