Pokémon development strategy

"No! Captain Ilima!"

"Ahem..." Ilima cleared his throat awkwardly again, "I have to go prepare for the next test. Congratulations on passing it."

Looking at Ilima's departing back, Shen Qi felt like crying but had no tears.

Happy Egg patted Shen Qi's shoulder, "Don't be sad, it's just that you were rejected by a boy, there are other men out there."

"Woo, if I could beat you, I would beat you into a cake right now."

After the test, the examinees are not allowed to stay outside the examination room, and Ilima and his Pokémon have to serve as examiners for the next round.

Following the mountain road, Shen Qi walked back to the open space outside the Congyin Cave.

"Well done, young man!"

The brown-skinned uncle came forward to greet them warmly, and the stall owners around them also cheered.

Regardless of whether the trial-takers advance or not, those who come to the Alola region to participate in the ancient pilgrimage to the islands are the heroes in their hearts and should be offered the most sincere blessings.

"Come here and eat fried noodles. It's free for trial participants."

"So is my grilled squid!"

"And here, here! Dorayaki—"

On the celebration street outside the Congyin Cave, Shen Qi felt the same strong enthusiasm as the weather.

Unable to refuse the kind offer, Shen Qi ate a skewer of giant squid and a serving of baked mashed potatoes.

Gurgle…

Duoduo looked at his trainer with expectant eyes.

"It's OK. The test is over. The battle in the mountains just now also consumed a lot of physical energy."

Shen Qi patted the building block duck and said, "Let's go have a drink."

"My Pokémon likes to drink."

A big sister nearby was showing off her sweet soup stall, which sold tree juice and coconut juice, which are specialties of the Alola region, as well as some drinks made from plants similar to aloe vera.

"Come on, come on, free drinks for the trialists and their Pokémon."

"You don't have to be so polite. How many drinks can you and Pokémon have?"

"Uh, hehe." Shen Qi held Duoduo down.

If he were allowed to drink freely, he would probably end up in the drinks bucket.

"First, give me four bottles of special drinks with different flavors. Just give me four bottles. Free drinks is too much. I'll buy the rest normally."

"You are so polite, little brother. How was the trial today?"

Shen Qi took the drink handed over by the stall owner and said, "Not bad, I was lucky to advance."

"I have to work harder in the future!"

Chapter 774 Bonfire Party

Now!

In the morning, the long-eared rabbit jumped to the bedside and showed the comic page on the mobile phone.

"Hmm?" Shen Qi had just gotten up and rubbed his eyes sleepily, "I don't read campus romance comics."

Hey!!

The long-eared rabbit shook his head, meaning that Shen Qi was not allowed to see the content.

Hanabu Niao updated the comics, but it was just a standard update, no additional chapters were added.

Chirp...

Upon hearing that she had been reported, Hua Wuniao trembled in the corner of the room.

"It's great that she can resume normal updates."

Ever since he got the [Fishing Sleeping Bag], Shen Qi has gained a deep understanding of Huawu Niao.

It is almost impossible to get her to resume frequent updates all at once after two or three months of hiatus. We can only ask her to recover slowly, or at least maintain normal updates at the current stage.

Shen Qi stood up and poked Hua Wu Niao with his finger, "If you don't update well now, the book friends will come to you, and I will be punished together with you."

Chirp...

If Huabu Niao were alone, she could escape anywhere, but she couldn't involve her own trainer.

With the burden of sharing the misfortune with Shen Qi, Hua Wuniao became much more obedient.

Today is the second day of the Melemele Island Tour. Before sunset, all trial participants will complete the field combat assessment with the captain-level examiners to determine the final qualifiers.

At this stage, there are no assessments for the level of island king or island queen. One has to wait until the end of the four rounds, and only those trial-takers who have not been eliminated will be eligible to be assessed by the island master.

So the second half of today's outdoor combat trial is over, followed by a bonfire party.

“This weather…”

It's December now, and the temperature on Melemele Island is 12 degrees, around 28 degrees at night.

It’s not that hot, the normal temperature at night is still cool, but it would be too hot to hold a bonfire party.

The island pilgrimage takes place three times a year, which means there is one in July and August. Bonfire parties are held during that season, and only the brave ones can enjoy it.

The guest room was quite lively. Miss Qun'er was already discussing with Mrs. Huajie how to dress up for the evening.

For the past half month, Madam Hua Jie has devoted herself to the Meilemeile Garden. It is time for her to relax.

During the island tour assessment, Shen Qi never used Madam Hua Jie, but he could still ask her to join the bonfire party.

"Flower dancing bird."

Chirp?

"Aren't you going to the party?"

Holding the computer keyboard, Hua Wuniao shook her head vigorously, and it was obvious that she was determined not to go. Even if she had time, she would rather play games at home.

"But, the Alola regional festival is inseparable from the various styles of flower and bird dances."

The passionate Hot Hot Flower Dancing Bird, the energetic Pa Pa Pa Hua Dancing Bird, and the Hula Hula Flower Dancing Bird with swaying grass skirts.

Add to that Shen Qi, the lithe and graceful dancing bird in the style of the famous Yamato Nadeshiko singing and dancing diva.

Different styles of flower dance birds are very rare in other regions and are also an important part of the traditional celebrations in Alola.

Chirp...

Flower dancing bird curled up in the armchair, "I can't dance"

"Dancing is probably a natural instinct for the Flower and Bird Pokémon."

"If I were to jump alone, I could do it, but with so many people and so many Pokémon, I can't do it."

Hanabu's social anxiety level is not as exaggerated as Mayumi, the developer of the Pokémon transmission system, but it's not much different.

When the fossil-crazy brothers held a dinner party after surviving the disaster, Mayumi seemed reserved just to attend. If she was asked to dance by the bonfire, she would probably faint.

Gurgle…

Duoduo had already started to circle around Shen Qi in advance.

He's fighting for more drink privileges.

"You drank so much yesterday, aren't you tired of it?"

Guji!

Duoduo shook his head vigorously. He didn't drink enough. After all, there were many stalls at an event like the Island Tour. In addition to a wide variety of fruit juice drinks, there were also tropical drinks.

After the forest battle ended yesterday, Duoduo didn’t even get to taste all the drinks, so how could he be tired of them?

"Really."

Shen Qi couldn't stop Duoduo until the evening celebration, so he could only remind him, "You should drink it after eating staple food, and don't drink it all at once. Play for a while, digest it for a while, and then drink the next bottle."

Guji!!

Shen Qi did not give a strict limit on the quantity, and Duoduo felt so happy that she was about to faint.

The island tour is so beautiful!

As night fell, the town of Lili seemed a little deserted, and a large number of people rushed to the lush caves.

Shen Qi has the status of a trial-taker and can reach the main venue through a special passage.

Before the bonfire party began, all 139 participants gathered on a wooden platform to receive everyone's comfort, encouragement and blessings.

Among these 139 people, only 36 successfully advanced. There are still three island tests to go. In the end, I am afraid that only a single digit number will be able to face the king and queen of the island.

Flowers and applause were flying all over the sky. At the moment when the sun was about to set, all the trial participants gave out a little bit of attribute energy, pushed down the torches next to the woodpile, ignited the pine oil on the woodpile, and a raging fire jumped into the sky.

Bonfire party officially begins!

"Oh--"

Following the atmosphere at the scene, Shen Qi couldn't help but shout along with everyone else.

The crowd rushed to the bustling stall district, and only then did Shen Qi feel the sweat on his face and body.

The party had just begun and I was already soaking wet.

The crowd around was similar, looking very excited.

Miss Qun'er and Mrs. Huajie ate something and went to the campfire to find different styles of flower-dancing birds to learn dance steps.

"Although the environment is noisy and the weather is hot," Happily clenched his little meaty hands, "We must also maintain the quality of practice with a calm mind."

"Yes, Mr. Egg!" The long-eared rabbit responded seriously, "What should I practice next?"

'Let's have a fried noodle contest!'

"I won't lose to the Egg Master!"

Further away, there is a large-billed gull sitting on the shoulder of a clay giant. It is a very conspicuous combination and there is no need to worry about getting lost.

What really disappeared was Duoduo...

Shen Qi was too lazy to pick him up, so he just let him have some fun for a while.

"Shen Qi."

A voice called out from the crowd. Shen Qi turned around and saw Ilima, who was dressed in a tropical ethnic style.

A straw ring-shaped headdress, and also a small vest woven from grass stems or some other plant.

"Don't your clothes... feel like they're pricking your skin?"

"Of course not. I have worn it since I was a child. There will be similar costumes at celebrations."

wow——

Another burst of noise rushed into the sky, and the atmosphere on the dance floor beside the bonfire gradually became boiling.

The first wave of food tasting is over, and a large number of trainers and Pokémon start dancing

"Let's go dance over there too."

Next to Ilima, the tutu dog was waving its tail as if it was dipped in paint, obviously looking forward to entering the dance floor.

His Sniper Owl is a Pokémon native to Melemele Island. He has already dressed up in his down coat, like a gentleman attending a luxurious dinner.

As soon as Shen Qi reached the edge of the dance floor, before he could even learn two steps, he was grabbed by a large hand.

Melemele Island, the island owner, Hala, a strong uncle who is proficient in fighting.

"I heard you are interested in strong men?"

"Damn it, Ilima——you sold me out?!"

Chapter 775 Soul Turmoil

"Flower dancing bird, let's go."

The island tour at Melemele Island came to an end with yesterday’s bonfire party. Shen Qi and the other 36 contestants who advanced will head to Poni Island in a counterclockwise direction.
