Pokémon development strategy

Track length: 433 km.

"what?!"

Shen Qi rubbed his eyes and confirmed the length of the track again.

433 km...

Rally?!

Chapter 710 Rally

Guji?!

Duoduo, who was also looking at the group arrangements, jumped a little.

He found it hard to understand why the track was more than 400 kilometers long.

“This one’s a rally type.”

Shen Qi explained.

The length of a rally is often astonishing. The total length may be several thousand kilometers, divided into multiple stages and run a little bit every day.

It tests the driver's perseverance and health, driving stability, and racing stability.

A short rally, like the one Shen Qi got, can cover several hundred kilometers in one go.

Many people expressed doubts...

'There's simply not enough energy'

An economical and energy-saving car can run 500 kilometers on a full tank of fuel, but the one that participates in a competition must be a racing car.

The rotary engine consumes a lot of energy, and the other racing cars are not much weaker.

In particular, some high-horsepower motor vehicles are equipped with mechanical superchargers, which require additional energy to drive the turbine.

Even if the Rainbow Flying Sword is designed with efficient energy utilization, the size of the energy pool is reduced, which is equivalent to a smaller fuel tank. It still cannot sustain a race of more than 400 kilometers.

"There must be a supply point along the way."

The rally will provide supply points, repair points, and food.

During the competition, no one wants to spend so much time stopping to recharge. It only takes a few minutes to directly replace the energy blocks in the energy pool, but the competition is a race against time, let alone a few minutes.

It's not just a matter of energy, the tires may also need to be replaced, depending on the strategy adopted by different cars.

"I didn't expect to be assigned to this stage."

Running in a straight line to the end and then turning back from the other side is actually a one-way race, and [Global Eye] has a huge advantage.

But having to concentrate for several hours throughout the entire process is much more tiring than a normal competition.

No wonder the T2 expansion tournament announced in advance that the rest time between each round would be three days, otherwise it would be too unfair to the players who were drawn to the rally system.

Luck can play a role in competition, but it should also be artificially restricted.

I won’t look at the groups later, as most of them are characters that Shen Qi knows from games and anime. He doesn’t know them in real life and has no way to judge their racing abilities.

First hold a meeting with Toto, Happiny, and Galleon to discuss the competition.

As for the rally, it is actually good for Shen Qi.

It’s not just the benefits of [global eyes] and [adapted tires], but also the benefits of experience.

Few racing drivers have the experience of driving hundreds of kilometers in one go.

By the T2 stage, there are relatively few free racers. They either have their own background or have signed contracts with a club. It is rare for them to drive their racing cars from hundreds or thousands of kilometers away to the racetrack. Usually, the cars are shipped by truck or even by air.

Shen Qi always drove from the 6th Island every time he participated in a competition. This time it took him two days and a distance of more than kilometers to reach Shenhui City.

A hard-working racing driver may practice hundreds of kilometers a day. Such hundreds of kilometers are often divided into several groups, such as 70 to 80 kilometers. After all, this is the most common competition standard, and it is unlikely to be practiced continuously.

When it comes to continuous long-term and long-distance driving experience, Shen Qi has a unique advantage, especially in his previous life, he often drove at excessive speeds, overloaded, and while fatigued, and transported seafood across half the country, so the stable state of long-term driving is deeply engraved in his soul.

"So, in terms of mentality and condition, we have absolutely no problem."

bell--

Shen Qi was exchanging opinions with his deputy Pokémon when his cell phone rang.

Caller: Adu

It was very rare for A'Du to call on his own initiative, and Shen Qi's heart skipped a beat, hoping nothing would happen.

The first T2 expansion tournament, even if I am eliminated in the first round, at least let me participate well, don't ask me to cooperate in breaking up the Rockets' conspiracy or something.

"Adu?"

"Shen Qi, come on!"

"What?!"

Shen Qi didn't believe that A'Du would call to cheer him up. "If you have something to say, just tell me. Don't scare me."

"Beat Xiaochun!"

"Xiao Chun?"

In the Hoenn region, she is the master of the Yanmo Gym. She and Adu are both from the same dragon-controlling clan and are cousins.

Because A'du wanted to live freely outside, did not want to go home for blind dates and marriage, nor did he want to inherit the position of the elder of the Yulong clan, so he hid from XZ.

Xiao Chun was ordered by his grandfather, the Dragon Elder, to capture A'du back.

"So, you must beat Xiaochun up in this match and make her depressed so that she can calm down for a while."

"Xiaochun...are you in the same group as me?"

Shen Qi turned off the TV after seeing the track type. It didn’t matter what the other drivers were like. Shen Qi was definitely at the bottom of the food chain in the T2 expansion race. He just needed to discuss tactics with the Pokémon.

Do the best you can.

Therefore, Shen Qi was not really on the same team list.

"Are you here to play?" A'du's wailing came from the phone, "You don't even know who else is in the same group as you."

"I saw the type of track just now, so I went to study the tactics."

Now when I turn on the TV, the group program has ended, and Shen Qi can only log in to the website of the Drivers Association to check the schedule.

Xiaochun's name is indeed on the 7th group of the expansion competition.

Instead of competing in their own Johto region, they came to the neighboring Kanto. It is obvious that they did this to capture Adu.

"Hey, Xiaochun is only T3."

"Yeah, so you have hope of beating her up."

Two years ago, Xiaochun got into the top 2 in the T20 race in the Johto region. He didn't rank last year. If he can get into the top 20 again this year, he can reach the standard of twice in three years and be certified as a T2 driver.

If she still does not get a ranking this year, the previously accumulated rankings will be cleared, and the three-year standard will be recalculated from the next time she finishes in the top 2 in a T20 race, or in other words, she will directly enter the top 10 one year.

"That's too good to be true." Shen Qi dispelled A'Du's unrealistic thoughts, "Xiao Chun's result can at least be called half a step to T2. I haven't even been certified as T3 yet!"

"This is how we can beat them up!"

Only when an apprentice driver drives a D-class car and crushes Xiaochun can he cause her a mental blow. Xiaochun will be depressed for a while, and Adu will be able to move freely for a while.

"Really...what kind of cousin is this?"

After finishing the call with Adu, Shen Qi took a look at the subsequent list of drivers.

Among the 15 drivers, 3 are T3 and the rest are all T2.

If he hadn't met any T1 drivers and it was a one-lap, one-way race, Shen Qi could have really fought for advancement.

I was not sure before traveling through time, because the performance of the little sheep was obvious, and Shen Qi's own strength and attribute energy control were just so-so.

Now, the performance of the Lamborghini has been improved, and it is definitely not inferior to conventional B-class cars, and can even be compared with modified B-class cars.

Shen Qi and the Pokémon have also made great progress in their strength in the Mega Evolution world line. The shortcomings of the "Avoidance Rate" gain have been made up, wind resistance has been reduced, and [Global Eye] has a huge advantage in the one-way race.

Not to mention the beating of Xiaochun, just talk about advancing to the second round.

You can really give it a try!

Chapter 711 No Positioning Match

Yunying Mountains, east side gorge track.

This is the scene of the rally.

In October, cold winds blew from the mountains, and dust and dead leaves rolled into the sky, making it cold and bleak.

The starting point was equally desolate, with only a director's desk, a workstation, and not even any spectator seats.

Why is there no audience?

No matter how much attention the first expansion race received, no one came to watch the first round of the rally.

Even a very fast driver would probably take nearly three hours to run 433 kilometers, and under normal circumstances it should take more than three hours.

The race only has one lap. If spectators come to the east gorge, it is equivalent to watching the start, then sitting there stupidly for three hours, and finally waiting for the car to return.

It's true that there's a big screen in the middle showing the live action, and since we're watching the broadcast on the screen anyway, why not find a bar in Deep Gray City, have some food and drinks, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of the game.

Therefore, there will be many spectators willing to watch the regular two-lap race, and the spectators who can come to the rally are basically the drivers' relatives and friends.

"Shen Qi."

"Archer."

When acquaintances meet, they greet each other.

After talking to Adu yesterday, Shen Qi took a look at the other drivers in the same group and found out that Archer was there too.

Professor Oak's assistant, Pokémon photographer Archer.

He won the T04 Summer Championship driving the A-class car "3".

It was a modified vehicle used for field expeditions and filming, and is actually very suitable for rally racing tracks.

On the other hand, Xiaochun's racing car is light blue, similar to her signature dressing style, blue bodysuit, blue boots, and now the driver's suit, which gradually changes from light blue to dark blue.

The racing car's air intake has sharp inverted triangle structures above and below, like a dragon head opening its mouth and revealing sharp teeth.

A-class car "Qianlong".

Xiaochun has a dragon-controlling family background. If he wants to play racing, it would be easy for him to customize an A-class car. He is also a professional trainer with enough strength to fully control it.

Few drivers of Class A cars are easy to mess with.

The only negative example of a Class A car is another "Koharu", Dr. Sakuragi's daughter. The apprentice driver drove Sakuragi Castle to participate in the summer competition, but he couldn't even reach the finals.

Xiaochun is a top T2 professional trainer, has the racing record of a half-step T2 driver, and drives an A-class car. How could A'du have the confidence to let Shen Qi beat her up?

"Oh, I just hope I don't get eliminated in the first round."

Archer patted Shen Qi's shoulder cheerfully, "Let's take a group photo first."

His Sunflower Monster helped hold the camera, and Archer put his arm around Shen Qi's shoulders to take the photo.

As a Pokémon photographer, even when he is not conducting field surveys, Archer likes to use photography to record his life.

"Don't be discouraged, maybe you can advance."

"Well, thankfully there is no T1 in our group."

Without a T1 driver, Shen Qi thought Archer would be the fighting force in this match.

As long as there aren't four or five people with the same level as Archer, Shen Qi has a chance to advance with the advantage of his single-circle [Global Eye].

"Your statement is a bit inexperienced." Archer reminded, "You shouldn't pay too much attention to the T1 players. You can't beat them anyway. You should pay more attention to the players with unique skills."

"Wha…what? Unique Skills Brother?"

"T2 is the most outrageous group of drivers. Most of them are not so comprehensive, but because they have some unique skills, or have outstanding advantages in a certain direction, plus some luck is also certified."

When he encounters a track that suits him, he can even defeat a T1 driver. But when he encounters an unsuitable track, he is no match for him.

The difference between the upper and lower limits is very large, which is called "variance general" in Three Kingdoms Killing;

In games like League of Legends, I am indeed called the "special-skill guy", which means that if I get my favorite hero, I can kill a lot of people, but if I don't get it, I will feel a little frustrated.
