Pokémon development strategy

You can enter the T2 finals once in Kanto, and then go to a place with lower competition such as Alola to enter the second regional finals.

Or just come to Alola twice...

"No wonder."

To reach the finals... this requirement actually has a lot to do with luck.

If you are lucky, you will be drawn into the weak groups. Maybe as long as you have a certain level of strength, you can make it to the finals without being too outstanding.

Although I couldn't compete for the final honor, at least I managed to reach the passing line for certification as a T2 driver.

Not only that, Miss Qun'er heard that seven or eight years ago, the Drivers Association's competition system was not as perfect as it is now, and it was still trying to adjust the ratio of drivers of different levels in different levels of competitions. At that time, the Orange Islands had regional competitions.

Judging from the level of the Orange Alliance and local drivers, you can imagine how weak that T2 is. Most of those who rush over are drivers who want to reach the certification threshold. The truly strong ones will not participate, just like the truly strong ones don't want to get the Orange Islands gym badge.

So much so that some drivers with limited skills also certified T2 in those years.

Otherwise, there was only one regional race a year, and there wouldn’t be so many T2 drivers.

It has only been seven or eight years, and these drivers are still active in the racing field, which makes Shen Qi have the current doubts.

Chapter 520 Dragon Head Phoenix Tail + Guide Wheel

"Dear drivers, please do the final safety check."

The 18 cars in this field have been lined up in positioning order at the starting point of Road 4. The referee reminded the drivers to check their seat belt buckles, the stability of the roll cage, Pokémon protective gear, etc.

At the No. 3 starting position, Shen Qi was stunned.

Wen Jiu’s toy car can be seen in the rearview mirror. Just like when he was in Changqing City, it is full of building block style, but this time there are a few more speechless details.

"God damn, dragon head and phoenix tail?"

The toy car has guide wheels installed in front, which are...the guide wheels of mini four-wheel drive cars and the four-wheel drive cars in cartoons.

The mini four-wheel drive car in the toy category is unmanned and has no remote control. To turn, the guide wheels touch the outer wall of the four-wheel drive track, and the rollers push the four-wheel drive car to complete the turn.

Why does Wen Jiu's four-wheel drive car... use this? Shouldn't he turn the steering wheel when turning?

An outward-extending structure is added to the front bumper, with guide wheels at both ends, commonly known as the "dragon head";

There is also such a structure at the back of the racing car, also equipped with guide wheels, commonly known as the "Phoenix Tail";

In addition, Wen Jiu's toy car also has a pair of guide wheels on the sides, which is at the waist position.

Six guide wheel structure.

This...this...is kind of handsome.

Shen Qi was envious, wondering how the kids could control themselves.

Not to mention the kids, Shen Qi also wants to buy a mini four-wheel drive car.

As a racing car, the modification like Wen Jiu made would definitely increase the air resistance, which is a negative accessory for the racing car, but... he came to the competition to promote Elf Park and related products, and just being handsome is enough.

"Jackass, what do you think of that car behind?"

Good looking...

The aesthetics of Pokémon mostly tend to be childlike and playful, and the bright colors and appropriately exaggerated external structures of toy cars are quite attractive to them.

Now, not only children, but also trainers’ Pokémon will become the customer group of Pokémon Park toys.

The hot racing girl waves the mosaic flag under the bright sun and the race starts.

In front of Shen Qi, the T1 driver in position 2 had a beautiful burst and was leading the race. That guy’s result in the positioning race was 8 minutes and 14 seconds, and he looked very comfortable. He was a very capable T2, not the type who could only get on the water.

Driver No. 2 is T3, and he is quite capable of locating in front of Shen Qi, but his judgment when entering a turn is too clumsy.

In this game, Shen Qi also did not use [Global Eye] to exercise his judgment of the track.

Even so, it still has a better line selection than the previous T3.

Now!

Long-eared rabbit prompts whether to "help" the outbreak?

"Being not."

Shen Qi communicated efficiently with his mind, "This track is too dangerous."

At the foot of Yuejian Mountain, when positioning the circle, Shen Qi noticed that the ups and downs were exaggerated and the bumps were complicated, which were more serious than expected.

It is indeed a terrain formed by a meteorite impact.

It is easy to go wrong if you take a blind turn rashly.

The little lamb chose a better line, but failed to cross in time and was blocked by the car in front.

Now!

The long-eared rabbit screamed. Just as Shen Qi had expected, the ground was bumpy at the exit of the bend, and outside the track was not a wilderness but a rugged rock wall.

In ordinary wild areas, if you run off the track, the most that can happen is that debris will enter the air intake, commonly known as "eating grass". After cleaning it up, you can come back and continue.

If you hit the rock wall, you will not only be forced to withdraw from the competition, but you will also suffer financial and even health losses.

Adjust [Suspension Adaptation]

The ground was so bumpy that it affected Shen Qi's operation.

The long-eared rabbit was sitting on a temporary seat and was almost thrown off.

Changing the single-arm suspension to a double wishbone still failed to suppress the problem, and finally it was adjusted to a multi-link structure to restore normal driving.

After going through the rugged and winding road, there is a rare straight line for acceleration.

Speed...70 km/h...80 km/h

The engine sound of the Lamborghini changes, the VTEC mode intervenes, and the intake lift increases, which is equivalent to a low-end small turbine at work.

Acceleration efficiency reaches a new level!

Wu!

The extremely loud roar of the engine made the little lamb look much weaker. Shen Qi glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Sakuragi Castle.

The A-class car has terrifying performance. It can catch up when the Lamborghini is accelerating at a speed of over 100 kilometers per hour.

Shen Qi had no intention of competing with the other party, so he just let it go and let Sakuragi Castle run in front to see Xiaochun's skills.

"Well, you are indeed a newbie."

The newbie only had such a limited foundation, and Shen Qi could tell at a glance that the opponent's strength was a little weak.

When entering the turn, Sakuragi Castle braked too early.

On the same straight road, the A-class car is used to quickly reach the maximum speed, and then try its best to use its powerful braking performance to enter the corner.

Xiaochun is still far from being able to control Sakuragi Castle. He can't judge the limit of cornering at all and is quickly caught up by the Lamborghini.

VETC is in high-frequency operation state + Miss Skirt's "chlorophyll" characteristics are activated under a sunny sky, so the air intake of the Lamb is still sufficient.

Especially in the first lap, we were not familiar with the track and ran more cautiously, so the little lamb had no disadvantage.

Coming out of the turn, Sakuragi Castle widened the gap again.

That’s all, Shen Qi has already figured out the other party’s background.

Having a huge Blastoise crammed in the back seat to guide Xiaochun won't suddenly improve her skills.

In the current state, he cannot compare with Shen Qi on the bumpy road surface of Yuejian Mountain.

This complex, unfamiliar and dangerous track is really called: fast in the corners, that is the real fast

"Xiaochun, brother needs to speed up!"

baa—

The long-eared rabbit prepared its skills, and the little sheep approached Sakuragi Castle at the entrance to the corner, overtook at the center of the corner, and continued to burst out "help" to further widen the distance.

In fact, when the Sakuragi Castle is at full power, it may be faster than the lamb in action.

, and in a blink of an eye it could reach a speed of 250 kilometers per hour, but Xiaochun couldn't control it.

Sakuragi Castle hadn’t even fully stacked its buffs yet, and she couldn’t control it anymore.

As an apprentice driver, Xiaochun has a background, powerful Pokémon, and good learning channels, and his strength is much stronger than most apprentices.

Therefore, she was a little overconfident and chose to drive an A-class car to participate in the competition.

If she were given a run-in B-class car, at least she wouldn't be in such a mess. The operation she showed now was too rough.

After exiting the bend, Sakuragi Castle still wanted to chase, so he accelerated a little and then stepped on the brakes to slow down.

She found that there was another bend a hundred meters ahead, which seemed to be a series of bends.

The very common and difficult "S-turn" has different performances on different tracks.

The S-curve at the foot of Mt. Tsukimi has dramatic ups and downs, and there is a rock wall outside the curve. If you hit it, the damage will be heavy. Of course, Xiaochun was scared and became more conservative.

"Ok?"

A bright red and yellow color flashed in the rearview mirror. Shen Qi paid a little attention and found that it was the toy car catching up!

"Speeding up in this place, are you trying to kill yourself?"

The speed of the Lamb was reduced to 95 kilometers per hour, the Sakuragi Castle was even slower, and the aggressive toy car...it had to be around 150 kilometers per hour.

No matter how good the car's grip is, it will be greatly affected on bumpy surfaces. If the wheels shake a little, it is equivalent to one wheel having no grip at all, and steering will also be restricted.

whoosh-

The toy car overtook the lamb and is still speeding up!

In the headphones, the commentator's words were passionate, but also full of concern about the toy car.

Can you really go through the S-curve at such a fast speed?

Chapter 521: Junior's Regret

Shen Qi gripped the steering wheel tightly, quite nervous.

I'm not worried about the toy car, but if something happens to the toy car, the Lamb is less than 5 meters away and may be affected by the explosion or flying objects.

"Oops, the toy car really pushed its head!"

Following closely behind the toy car, Shen Qi saw it most clearly.

The so-called "head-pushing" means understeer. The steering wheel is turned to the left, but the car cannot adjust in time due to inertia. That is, the front of the car and the front tires slip, which corresponds to the "tail drift" in which the rear wheels slip.

It’s going to crash!

The toy car is about to hit the rock wall!

Shen Qi couldn't help but squint his eyes at the same time that the toy car suddenly turned at an incredible angle and twisted around the bend.

"Oh yeah! Guide wheels!"

First, the guide wheels on the handlebars divert the impact force from the front of the car, followed by the guide wheels in the middle of the car body, and then the guide wheels at the tail.

The toy car took the corner in mini 4WD style!

"Oh my god, the kids are going to go crazy when they see this."

In the public channel of the communication headset, besides the commentator's voice, the ambient sound can actually be heard by children screaming... and all kinds of random... Pokémon shouting.

Due to the outrageous cornering strategy, the toy car in front overtook the second-place T3 player and is currently in second place.

Poor player T3, his strength is remarkable among drivers of the same level, but his experience is average. He was frightened by the toy car, his operation was a little distorted, and he was overtaken by the Lamb.

Then on the steep slope and bumpy road, the little lamb overtook the toy car.

Being fancy is certainly not a good strategy for cornering.

Forcing the guide wheels to slide across the outer wall of the curve will reduce the vehicle speed too much, and not every outer edge of the curve has an object suitable for the guide wheels to function.

Especially in the flying slope level just now, when the little sheep used "electromagnetic levitation" to land smoothly, the toy car was also using "flying" to overcome the difficulties.

However, its dragon head and phoenix tail guide wheels would be scratched by branches and other things from time to time, which greatly affected driving.

Although the operation and configuration are not fancy, the show effect is great, and this is also the reason why toy cars come to participate in the summer competition.

At the end of the first lap, the Lamb was in second place, the Toy Car was in third place, followed by the T2 driver and Sakuragi Castle.
