Pokémon development strategy

[Huh——? ]

Miss Skirt uttered a long, doubtful sound.

【There's something wrong with you! 】

"Otherwise, how could I have caught up with you then?"

[No, no…]

After being caught up that day, Miss Qun'er naturally thought that it was because Shen Qi had replaced the engine of the Lamb, and that it had a chance because of the boost from the Jellyfish.

Today, when I was sitting in the car and looking at the dashboard, I felt it personally. It is obvious that the engine of the Lamborghini is still the same as the original power, and it seems to be just a little stronger.

If you want to replace the engine, no one will change to a grade that is only slightly better than the original Lamborghini.

It didn't last long. When it reached a slightly higher speed, Shen Qi stepped on the accelerator and the power was like constipation. Miss Qun'er was more certain that this was just an ordinary lamb engine, and some other parts might have been modified.

Like tires...

Your tires are good.

"Acrobatics modification."

Shen Qi made faces and nodded at the skill slot, his meaning was very clear, he hoped Miss Qun'er would give him some motivation.

【You just ask for too much...】

The dark green energy representing the grass type surged. Miss Qun'er did not rashly bless it directly, but tested the conversion effect of the skill slot on the enhancement skill.

This is the gap in experience.

When chasing Miss Skirt, Jigglypuff directly threw skills into the skill slot without considering the difference between boosting the car and boosting himself, causing the power of the Lamb to fluctuate violently for a while.

"Eh? Your skill slot is pretty good."

At this time, Shen Qi had already used the [Adaptive Skill Slot], and the feedback he received surprised Miss Qun'er.

She knew that Shen Qi definitely didn't have the money to modify the engine of the Lamborghini, so modifying the tires and brakes was a wise investment.

In fact, the tires are game props [adaptive tires], and the brakes were replaced with new ones because they were severely worn out due to excessive driving a while ago.

What Miss Qun'er couldn't understand was why Shen Qi would spend money to upgrade his skill slots.

Generally speaking, you need to have a powerful Pokémon as a partner, and the original skill slot will only be replaced when it can no longer meet the Pokémon's level of performance.

Shen Qi...shouldn't have a powerful Pokémon partner.

【That Jigglypuff...】

Cold sweat broke out on Shen Qi's forehead, but fortunately there was a narration to give him hints.

[Narrator: Miss Skirt has come into contact with Chanel, and it is obvious that she does not understand racing, so she will not be a powerful support Pokémon.]

"This skill slot was given to me by a friend. A very good friend of mine is leaving Island 6 and doesn't know when he will be back, so he left it to me as a souvenir."

[Is that so?]

After the test, Miss Quner used the skill "Growth" smoothly, increasing the horsepower and torque by one level at the same time. She also cast "Photosynthesis" at the same time to reduce the wear and tear of the car through the blood recovery skill.

"Miss Skirt, there is a race car ahead."

【whee…】

There was no need to say much, the drivers understood each other instantly.

Another level of "growth" blessing, Shen Qi indicated that it was okay.

Without the Jigglypuff to improve defense, I dare not overclock the car too much.

When the car in front notices a car following in the rearview mirror, it is the default invitation to race in the racing circle.

If the front car fails to leave the rear car behind by 20 meters after running through a section of road, the front car loses;

The next round will be led by the waiting person.

"Great! I was just worried that no one would come to entertain me... What?! Little sheep?!"

The driver rubbed his eyes in confusion, making sure he had not read the wrong model.

The little sheep just runs up the mountain. When will he dare to race?

As the route progressed, his doubts gradually turned into seriousness, and then to astonishment.

There was no way to get rid of the Lamborghini on the entire mountain road, let alone 20 meters. The car behind followed closely within 5 meters, and it seemed to be able to do it with ease.

After switching sections, the Lamborghini took the lead and disappeared in the second half of the Marker Hill.

A complete failure.

The driver slowed down and stood on the side of the road for a few minutes, questioning his life, and then he thought of the rumors that had recently spread on the 5th and 6th islands.

Shiso Team's reserve driver had almost no rivals on the 6th and 5th islands.

The last two enemies he will challenge are the Sweet and Cold Queen and...

…a Lamborghini of unknown origin.

Chapter 50 Brother Chun!!!

"It's too late—"

“Here here!!”

Under the bright summer sun, there are many students running around in the Elf High School with their cell phones in hand.

Today is the last day for the Pokémon photography activity, and the photos must be handed in to the teacher before school is over.

The event lasted for a month, which was actually very long. And because of the long time span, everyone felt it was still early.

It’s like at the end of summer vacation when you remember that there’s a pile of unfinished homework and you try your best to catch up.

"These kids are such a jerk." Shen Qi felt the scorching heat outside through the window glass. "They are so hasty to take photos and rush to submit their work. How can they produce good works?"

"Not necessarily. This kind of thing depends a lot on luck."

The girl in the front row was biting a rubber band and tying her hair up, and Xiaochun, who was sitting behind her, took over the conversation.

"Touzi, you look very confident."

Shen Qi was startled by Xiaochun's shout.

In the black and white version of Pokémon, the male and female protagonists are Touya/Touko, also translated as Touya/Touko.

For a moment, I thought the game's protagonists had arrived.

It’s a bit funny to think about it... Shen Qi had been in school for two or three months before he knew the name of the girl in the front row.

"Of course—" Touzi, who had tied her hair into a ponytail, looked up, "I'm aiming for the top five."

"Only in the top five." Xiao Chun disagreed.

The voice was quite loud and attracted the attention of the students around.

The boy behind put his arm around Xiaochun's shoulders.

"So... you are very brave?"

"I'm super brave, okay!" Xiao Chun held his head high, "I want you to sincerely call me Brother Chun."

Shh ...

There was a lot of booing all around, and the noise gradually died down when the bell rang for class.

After opening the textbook, Shen Qi always felt that something was wrong. Xiaochun was not a very boastful person.

It's completely normal to chat with boys and talk about becoming a top professional trainer. It's nothing special. Just brag about things that will happen decades later.

The Pokémon photography event is right before our eyes.

The results will be announced in three days, and it would be a slap in the face if you fail to produce a work that convinces your classmates.

Xiao Chun wouldn't brag about this, he must be really sure.

There was also Touzi in the front row, who was equally confident and submitted her work early in the morning, almost at the same time as Shen Qi.

When screening on the computer, Shen Qi was very confident about the photo of Miss Qun'er leaning over to play in the water. The model was beautiful, the light and shadow were beautiful, the composition was beautiful, and the contrast between the dynamic hair that could only be captured by chance and the static background was even more beautiful.

Now I always feel that the students around me seem to have something...

I just don't know if they are exaggerating or if there is really something to it.

After three days of feeling a little uneasy, all the students of Elf High School gathered in the auditorium.

At today's school meeting, the top five contestants in the Pokémon photography event were announced.

The judges include all the teachers of Elf High School, as well as special guests such as Junsha from the 6th Island Security Branch and the 6th Island Pier Supervisor.

The top five will receive rewards.

In addition to this, students can vote for the most popular work in addition to the official top five, and the top three will receive encouragement awards.

The reward for the most popular player is 500b worth of Pokémon Rations and two Poké Balls, which is equivalent to the fourth place in the official prize, which is pretty good.

"Cough cough."

An old man in a brown suit and a bowler hat came on stage. He was Principal Katsura of Elf High School.

It was said that he was not in good health and did not participate in the teaching courses. Before this, Shen Qi had only seen him at the opening ceremony.

It is admirable that they can run a school like Pokémon High School, which selflessly shelters injured Pokémon that cannot be released into the wild, and allows classes of students to graduate safely and waves of Pokémon to acquire survival skills in society.

It's a miracle that this school didn't close down.

Principal Gui’s speech was relatively brief, but full of gratitude and thanks.

Due to his weak health and difficulty speaking, other teachers took over as the host.

After the students’ applause, Teacher Ji Xiang came on stage. Just when everyone thought she was going to get to the point, Ji Xiang put away the manuscript in her hand.

"First, let Mr. Tieguan talk about the violations in this activity."

Tieguan... this name sounds tough, and he is actually a very strong man. He is mainly a physical education teacher in the Elf High School. He teaches all the physical education classes for three grades and is serious about the physical development of students.

Many students were very afraid of him. When they saw Teacher Tieguan, they would take a detour as if they had seen a ferocious monster.

"Hey."

The classmate next to him poked Shen Qi, "What kind of violations can there be in the Pokémon photography activity?"

"How would I know? I am a good student with a righteous character."

Shen Qi was sweating. If we accidentally handed in the photos of Miss Skirt falling, we would probably be singled out.

Given Mr. Tieguan’s personality, he would probably be punished by having to run 30 laps around the teaching building.

As he was speaking, Tieguan's loud voice had already called out a student's name.

“How can you submit a selfie of yourself?”

The student who was called out stood up dejectedly, "I'm sorry, teacher, I just thought it was funny..."

"It's not a big deal, but it puts an extra burden on the judges' work. I won't allow it next time."

"Yes."

The student sat down with his tongue out, feeling lucky that no big trouble had been caused.

The classmates around just smiled. It is not uncommon for students to have excess energy and seek attention during adolescence.

but…

Snapped--

The big screen projector showed the student's selfie. He was posing in front of the school toilet door, showing off his muscles, but his body was skinny...

"Ha ha ha ha."

Amidst the laughter, the students who made the mistake felt what it meant to be socially dead.

Projector switches to next photo.

Under the small tree, the trumpet buds and walking grass huddled together, shivering.

"When Pokémon are afraid or don't want to be photographed, they can't be forced."

Teacher Tieguan pointed at the projection screen and said, "Look at this photo. The Pokémon are so pitiful. They were originally placed in the Pokémon High School because they were injured and could not be released back into the wild. Everyone should live in harmony!"
