Pokémon development strategy

In the following summer season, Shen Qi made it all the way to the 4th place in the finals, which really shocked Taiyi.

"In fact, I also made it to the finals of the Alola region's summer tournament and came in 11th place."

The overall level of trainers in the Alola region is definitely not comparable to that of Guan, but it is very impressive for an apprentice driver to get 3th place in the T11 event there, and only then can he pass the review and be qualified to participate in the T2 expansion competition.

After being eliminated in the first round, Taiyi was actually depressed for a while and planned to go home directly. Thinking that Shen Qi was still participating in the competition and successfully advanced to the second round, Taiyi decided to meet the person he admired.

"So I stayed. Unfortunately, I didn't see you at the Yunying Mountain Banquet the next day."

On the second day after the first round of competition, Shen Qi and his Pokémon held a celebratory dinner for Miss Qun'er, but Shen Qi did not attend the party.

On the third day, Taiyi applied to the organizer to be transferred to a logistics staff position.

The request to change from a driver to a logistics staff was unprecedented. After weighing the pros and cons, the Drivers' Association determined that it would not affect the competition, so they agreed to Taiyi's request and obtained the qualification of logistics staff.

Otherwise, even if Shen Qi agreed to let Taiyi enter the maintenance room, the logistics members who did not report in advance would not be allowed.

"I experienced a different level in this competition!" Taiyi's eyes sparkled with a brilliant light, "And I met Shen Qi, I feel very happy, there is no regret on this trip... Ouch!"

Taiyi's head was hit hard by Shen Qi.

"What are you talking about not having regrets, little brat? You still have a long way to go in the future."

"Well...Shen Qi is obviously not much older than me."

The half-hour break passed in a flash. Shen Qi brought Happiny, Duoduo, and Toussaint back to the Lamb and confirmed again that the car was in good condition.

After the positioning race was over, Xiao Mian Yang was ranked 9th and started from position 9.

From this position, you can only see the five red lights hanging high gradually going out, and you can't see the hotly dressed racing girls at all.

The cheers of the audience were still clear through the glass, which was completely different from the previous round of rally.

The rally is too long, and most of the time you can't see the cars, so there are few spectators and there aren't even any spectator seats.

The circuit race is so comfortable, with large sections of the track visible to the naked eye, and the cars have to pass various points 40 times, which is very exciting to watch.

As the engines roared, 15 racing cars took off.

There were experts in front, so Shen Qi stepped on the accelerator directly.

"Wow... the feedback from my feet is so good."

The paving specifications of professional racing tracks are much higher than those of most areas, making them more suitable for racing and performance testing, especially since the racing track selected this time has a good foundation.

Shen Qi could honestly say that this was the best road to run on after traveling to another world.

One lap of the race is 7.3 kilometers. In the first half of the lap, the distance between the drivers did not widen, and Shen Qi maintained the ninth place.

It's just to maintain the current relatively backward position, and I feel that I need to use 80% to 90% of my strength.

There were fine ice crystals floating up ahead, and a driver was starting a hailstorm.

bah—

The little sun on a sunny day collides with it and the weather dissipates into each other.

The battle between weathermen has begun.

It is not to gain benefits in a certain weather condition, but to use the weather under your control to attack and destroy the weather of other drivers.

Chapter 725 Gap

wow——

Heavy rain fell. When the race reached the 10th lap, the track changed and the weather also changed with the operation of the organizer.

Shen Qi stepped on the accelerator and cut into the inner lane, barely sideways in a very steep curve and made it to the 8th place.

The track has changed, and all the contestants' memories of the track they were familiar with have been cleared, allowing the [Global Eye] to come into play.

However, there is not much room for the venue to take advantage of its visual field.

Most areas of the racetrack are in full view, except for a few places where the organizers have specially set up obstacles and blinders, other places can be seen from a long distance. The hard skills of the trainers and Pokémon play a decisive role in the victory or defeat.

[Global Eye] is no longer very helpful for pre-reading the track, but it has other benefits. It can help Shen Qi see the strategies of other drivers in the distance.

For example, at the current position, Shen Qi can see Shui Jing, who is leading the first place, entering the pit to change tires.

Also a T1-level driver, Zhenghui has been running in third place, and occasionally it can be seen that his car seems to be slightly lacking in steering force.

Now the situation is completely reversed. Zhenghui's car's grip has increased sharply, allowing him to take the first place.

He...used tires that can cope with rainy and snowy weather in advance!

Organizers announced in advance the difficulties of the race, including randomly changing weather.

Sunny days, rain, snow, sandstorms, and the rarely used fog and ice weather.

There are only so many weather options that can be changed. Zhenghui sacrificed the advantages in normal weather and used the rain and snow tires he developed himself. It turned out to be a good bet.

The rain falling from the sky can be described as moderate to heavy rain. Most drivers will pit to change tires, but Zhenghui can lead by a lot here without pitting.

"rustle…"

There was a call coming from the headset.

Since it is a circuit race and there is a strategy in place, drivers are allowed to communicate with the logistics staff in the maintenance room, but the logistics staff cannot reveal information about track difficulties to the drivers.

Taiyi contacted Shen Qi and asked if he wanted to stop in the pit to change tires.

If there is a need for rain tires, Taiyi will prepare them in advance.

"It's okay, I won't go in."

During intense driving, the durable wear of the [adapted tires] will be very large, especially when the tire type is not suitable and it is forcibly transformed into a rain tire with tread through game props, which will increase the durability even more.

However, given this opportunity to surpass others, how could Shen Qi give up?

Drivers in the front gradually came into the pits to change tires, and Xiao Lamb's ranking continued to move forward.

7th, 6th, 5th…stopped at 5th!

There were cheers coming from outside the stadium, exclaiming that the little lamb had actually reached the qualifying line. Shen Qi knew that this was far from enough, and the masters behind would definitely surpass him.

Sure enough, a racing car with cool light and shadow tassels in the rain curtain was chasing them.

Rainbow flying sword.

"This guy is too scary."

Shen Qi used [Global Eye] to observe in advance that the Rainbow Flying Sword entered the pit to change tires, and in the blink of an eye it came out again.

According to this estimate, the time it takes for the Rainbow Flying Sword to change a tire should not exceed thirty seconds.

This is not an F1 car. Changing tires is not that convenient, but it can be compressed into such a short time.

"Taiyi."

"what happened?"

Through the communication headset, Shen Qi asked about the tire change time board.

Circuit racing can produce many, many rankings, including which driver is the fastest and who is the slowest in changing tires.

Rainbow Flying Sword entered the pit in 26 seconds, currently ranking first.

As expected of the scientific research team of Yuhong University, I dare not say that Feiyue is the top driver in this field, but her logistics team must be one of the best.

The slowest one to enter the station was Acorus!

It wasn't a problem with her or Pokémon's tire-changing skills. It was that the temperature of the newly replaced tires was not raised enough. Also, because the ground was slippery, Acorus's Water Flower slipped when leaving the maintenance room, hitting the tail wing, and had to adjust back urgently.

With such a problem, the pit stop time was just over 4 minutes, which was already very serious.

Having said that, 4 minutes were wasted in such a game, and Acorus' position dropped from 4th place to 8th place.

If other drivers hadn't come into the pit to change tires one after another, Changpu's position would have dropped further.

"If I can't stop others, can I not stop you Feiyue?"

In the cab, Shen Qi steadied the steering wheel and blocked the Rainbow Flying Sword's overtaking route. For a moment, he could see Feiyue slapping the car window and cursing.

If you block the Rainbow Flying Sword, you really can’t stop the Water Flower that is overtaking from behind.

The accident in the maintenance room was an accident, but Acorus herself was strong enough, and the rainy day was too great an advantage for her as a water-type gym leader.

On lap 20, the track was about to change and the rain stopped.

Through the [Global Eye], Shen Qi saw Zhenghui entering the station for maintenance without hesitation.

This is very strange. The rain just stopped and we would not know what type of track it would be until the 21st or 22nd lap. Why did Zhenghui start early?

"Attention, all competitors, please note that there is an accident on the track and the safety car will be coming in soon..."

It’s the rainbow flying sword!

After being overtaken by Shui Zhonghua, Shen Qi wanted to overtake again. Considering that the track was about to change, she released the Rainbow Flying Sword. Unexpectedly, her wheels slipped and hit the buffer zone next to her. Fortunately, the collision was not very serious and the car body was not damaged or deformed.

However, the splashing of cushioning debris affected the track and required treatment.

It is somewhat similar to the track rules of F1, and the safety car will enter at this time.

The safety car circles the track at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. All cars following behind must maintain this speed and are prohibited from overtaking to buy time for the track to be cleared.

You should know that the slow cruise led by the safety car also counts as a lap of the real track, and the car running before the accident site can speed without being subject to the 60 km/h speed limit.

However, Zhenghui did not choose to run wildly, but to go straight into the station.

With the safety car in the way, no one could drive fast. Zhenghui entered the pit to change a new set of tires and was able to leave the pit before the safety car arrived at the entrance.

In this way, Zhenghui's position remains in the top 3 and he has new tires!

This is a truly precisely calculated close-station strategy.

Lap 30.

The leading Shuijing and Zhenghui have already completed laps on the last car.

In a rally race that is several hundred kilometers long, being ahead by six or seven kilometers will not have any direct impact.

But inside the field, watching the opponent pass by me was very stressful.

Shen Qi is the same.

Little Lamb is currently in 8th place. Although he has not been circled and cannot see where the first echelon has caught up to, an indescribable pressure is still surging in his heart.

On the 40th lap, the little lamb crossed the finish line!

The final position was still 8th, 15th out of 8 drivers.

Shen Qi was promoted to this position because a driver ahead of him retired due to a mistake. It was equivalent to just keeping the starting position during the race and avoiding being lapped in the end.

"hateful."

Feiyue slammed the car door shut.

Like Shen Qi, she realized how far she was from achieving T2 certification.

Chapter 726 I Want to Go to Elf High School

"Shen Qi!"

Taiyi ran out of the maintenance area shouting happily, "It's amazing that he can actually hold his starting position in the second round of the T2 expansion race!"

“You guys are amazing too.”

On the 23rd lap, Shen Qi took 5 minutes to enter the pit.

As a logistics team that did not have much deliberate practice, they waited for the Lamborghini to be lifted up by the lift, replaced the four tires, adjusted the brake pads, and charged the vehicle, and finally put the Lamborghini down.

5 minutes is pretty fast.

Shen Qi truly felt the gap. On the one hand, it came from the car, as the Lamb's condition was not very stable, and on the other hand, it was his own gap.

Driving skills are a matter of personal taste. Once you have mastered the basics, the best one is the one that suits you.

However, the gap in trainer levels is real.

Without energy chakras that can control all attributes, and without any special sensing abilities except for the [Analysis Card], the little sheep also does not have any energy circuit accessories that can clearly sense changes in external energy.

With all these factors combined, Shen Qi can only "walk the line" in the sense of a racer, and cannot walk the energy line like a high-end trainer.

The lack in this aspect...should be made up through combat, otherwise it will be difficult to develop energy control out of thin air.
