Pokémon development strategy

The screen lit up with colorful lights and shadows.

There are many flowers dotted on the small piece of waterside grass which is tightly surrounded by trees.

A beam of sunlight shines through the gaps between branches and leaves blown apart by the wind, creating a hazy effect similar to that of a stage spotlight. The faint rainbow glow that unfolds in the water vapor is more natural than an artificial spotlight.

In the center of the picture, the fluffy princess dress formed by green leaves, the beautiful big crown, and the soft figure fit in so well with the natural atmosphere.

The leaf arms lightly touch the water surface, and some emerald green hairs are about to fall off, giving the whole photo agility and liveliness.

"It's... Miss Skirt!"

"Shen Qi, wow, you took such good pictures of Miss Er's skirt!"

Shen Qi rubbed his nose and said, "You don't even want to call me Brother Qi."

"How can it be the same...Xiaochun is really risking his life, warrior."

After a round of exclamations and noises from the students, the judges began to comment.

First up is Teacher Kika.

"This photo of Shen Qi is very mature. The judges felt that it was inconsistent with the style of other students..."

The consideration of the composition and the ideas of light and shadow in "Flowers by the Water" are really mature, which doesn't seem like something that high school students, especially students in this barren land of Island 6, can think of.

And it’s a captured moment.

Maybe like the previous photo "Facing the Sun", the photographer used rapid continuous shooting to capture dozens of photos in one breath and then took them home to slowly screen them. If he is lucky, he will find one with extremely high completion quality.

"How did Shen Qi do it?"

The question came from Miss Junsha from the Security Bureau. She was very interested in such high-end hidden camera technology and even habitually touched the handcuffs around her waist.

"I got Miss Skirt's consent!"

Shen Qi hurriedly explained, "I just happened to meet Miss Qun'er that day, and it just happened to be this environment and light and shadow."

"I actually got Miss Skirt's permission."

The students around started to make a noise again, "What kind of luck is Shen Qi..."

Fortunately, the judges did not delve into the matter further. If it was a lie, the school could have exposed it by simply asking Miss Skirt.

A round of reviews ended, followed by the second place in the Pokémon photography event.

Shen Qi, who was just worried that he wouldn't be able to make the cut, is now starting to show off.

I want to see what works can be ranked ahead of me? !

"Class A of the third year of high school... What a blessing."

“The work “Have Both Hands”.”

The title of the work is a bit strange, which makes people wonder whether it is a coincidental humorous work like "Taste the Sunset".

The picture was displayed on the projection screen. There was no exquisite framing at all. It seemed to be a corner of the school gymnasium. The girl was holding a Pokémon almost sticking to the camera, and a big selfie occupied 80% of the screen.

The special thing is that the girl has only one arm, her left sleeve is empty, and her right hand is holding the Poké Ball and hugging Rattata.

The little Rada was also disabled, with only its left front limb left.

The girl who lost her left hand and the little Rattata who lost her right forelimb hugged each other. The Poké Ball meant that they had formed a bond, passed the school assessment, and would walk side by side for the rest of their lives.

The title of the work is "Have Both Hands"...

Looking at the title again, it is thought-provoking.

"I'm convinced. I'm really convinced." Shen Qi withdrew his thoughts and applauded wholeheartedly with everyone else.

This is no longer a simple issue of beauty or technology, it is a philosophy of life.

What kind of trainer is a good trainer?

The answers are completely different.

But... Shen Qi opened his mouth slightly.

What other works can surpass "Have Two Hands"? !

"Next is our number one—" Teacher Kika dragged out the words excitedly.

"Second year of high school, Class B...Xiao Ming, Our Family."

Xiao Ming?

This name can be seen everywhere, and there is no one with the same name in the Spirit High School. He is Aunt Haruga's son.

During the rescue operation for the flooded fruit fields, Xiao Ming's head and face were covered in mud, and Shen Qi could hardly remember what he looked like.

The screen switched pictures. There were a few dark clouds on the corners of the blue sky. The bad weather had just subsided.

In the muddy fruit fields under the sun, the seedlings and fruit trees were toppled over, causing heavy losses.

In the somewhat sad atmosphere after the disaster, the mother used a towel to wipe her daughter's face covered in mud.

The daughter waved towards the camera, probably calling Xiao Ming to come over.

In the front of the picture, the mother cat uses her furry tail to dip water and wipe the face of the baby cat.

The owner moves in lockstep with the Pokémon, with a touch of humor that is heartbreaking and an attitude towards life that finds joy in adversity.

Storms can destroy months of harvest and deal a severe blow to a family's finances, but as long as the family is together, they can always support each other and move forward.

Such a work does not need to be analyzed from the perspective of technical application or light and shadow composition. It is not a question of whether it was captured or not. It is a microcosm of the lives of many islanders on the 6th Island. Xiao Ming just recorded his own precious moments.

Kika smiled silently, and the judges did not make any further comments.

"Xiao Ming, this is a great work. Do you have anything to say?"

"I want to thank again the partners who braved the storm that day to help our family rescue the fruit trees and fields."

There was thunderous applause from the audience and many students wiped away tears.

In fact, it is reasonable to put either "Have Hands" or "We Are a Family" first, and some people think that the order should be swapped.

It’s a fight between gods. It’s really a fight between gods.

Shen Qi had never imagined that the works produced during the Pokémon photography event at Pokemon High School would be so impressive.

The models, framing and photography skills of the first two are definitely not as good as Shen Qi's, but if "Flowers by the Water" is put in the first place, Shen Qi definitely does not deserve it.

This is the idea that Elf High School conveys.

Purely numerical strength and beautiful appearance are not necessarily the best, and not everyone can stand under the spotlight of a top professional trainer.

You can choose to embrace ordinary Pokémon and gain a beautiful life of your own.

Chapter 53: No Longer Avoiding War

“That’s what happened.”

Shen Qi showed the Poké Ball in his hand to Miss Qun'er.

This is the reward for the third place in the Pokémon Photography Event. In addition, there are Pokémon rations worth 1000b in the school warehouse, and you can pick them up at any time.

Miss Qun'er was looking through the photos on Shen Qi's phone.

The screen shows the top five works from the Pokémon photography event…

【Amazing…】

"right."

There was a flash of surprise and touching in Miss Skirt's orange eyes. She gazed deeply at the top two works. The emotion seemed to flow through the photos and overflow.

The loss was speechless.

"It doesn't matter. I have the ball, and I have the money to support you."

【Who wants you to raise...】

Miss Qun'er hit Shen Qi's shoulder, and they both leaned against the tree trunk and listened to the summer wind and cicadas.

Summer vacation is coming soon.

The Elf High School and several major land areas nearby use the Japanese school system, which has a spring break in addition to winter and summer vacations.

It is roughly from March to April, about ten to twenty days, and April is the enrollment season for new students.

So in anime, the protagonist can always see cherry blossoms in bloom when school starts.

The Pokémon photography event is over, July is here, and summer vacation is approaching.

【Shen Qi】

"Ok?"

[We have to make peace with the driver of the Shiso team]

Shen Qi was not surprised at all when Miss Qun'er mentioned this topic.

The last time he and Jigglypuff transported goods to the 3rd island, he was also followed by Shansheng. He was determined to defeat the sweet and cold queen and the mysterious little sheep, and often wandered around the 6th island.

It doesn’t matter to Shen Qi. He is not running in a competition. Even if he wanders around for two or three years, he still won’t be able to recognize which little sheep he is looking for.

For Miss Skirt, the meaning is different.

She wanted to use Shansheng as a touchstone. Even if she took a step back, it was impossible for Miss Quner, who had lofty goals, to always hide when drivers from other places were causing trouble on her own turf.

In Shen Qi's opinion, winning or losing doesn't matter, what matters is safety.

Shansheng has been active on Island 6 recently, but he hasn't caused any trouble. He is just practicing to achieve his goals in this stage of his racing career.

If he does evil, the native islanders of Island 6 have various ways to get him out.

"If you want to compete, I won't stop you, but... I hope you can get everyone to join us."

Amateur competitions like the one in the Valley of Ruins have spectators and hosts, which is much safer than Miss Quner going to a private match with the opponent.

However, doing so will also put a lot of psychological pressure on you.

Shan Sheng's own strength is obvious, and his objective conditions are also strong.

As a B-class car, he has a Pokémon partner, and his strength on the panel is already more advantageous than Miss Skirt.

After so long, Shansheng is familiar with most of the roads on the 6th Island and is a very challenging contestant.

If Miss Qun'er lost, Shen Qi thought it was reasonable.

Therefore, with local residents as audience, she might feel more psychological pressure, after all, she was losing to outsiders in front of her fellow villagers.

[I don’t have that much self-esteem]

Miss Qun'er knew that this challenge was extremely difficult, no less difficult than Shen Qi's previous attempt to win first place in the Pokémon photography event.

Shen Qi works so hard and seriously, and Miss Qun'er also wants to break out of the cage in her heart.

Win or lose, it's all good.

"Since you've thought it through so clearly, just go for it." Shen Qi gave a thumbs up. "Summer vacation is coming soon anyway, so call me if you need help."

【Um…】

Miss Qun'er couldn't remember the last time she was so motivated.

[I have to get ready]

[Narrator: Miss Skirt was a little hesitant, and the word "thank you" was stuck on her lips, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud]

"You're welcome."

[Who should thank you? Really...]

["Gal", romance plot clearance rate 73%]

Miss Qun'er left, and Shen Qi patted the grass leaves on his pants and turned back to the teaching building.

During lunch break, everyone stopped running around and concentrated on studying.

There are final exams before the summer vacation.

"Shen Qi looks so calm."

"Okay."

If you study hard, it is not difficult to get passing scores in general courses such as Chinese and mathematics.
