Pokémon development strategy

swoosh-

The rear window of Dayuanbao's car was lowered, and Dudu jumped up on the spot and inserted it sideways. His movements were extremely skillful, and he must have had similar experiences many times.

"If this happened in the city, Dudu and the driver would be caught by Miss Junsha and taken to the police station."

'Perhaps they are in a hurry.'

Because of Dudu's action, Dayuanbao slowed down his car again, and Miss Quner flashed her lights a few times as a greeting.

As he slowly passed the big ingot, Shen Qi looked inside curiously.

Dudu, who had just entered the back seat, found another bag, hung it around his neck together with the bag he was originally carrying, and climbed out of the car window again.

"Goodbye, be careful on the road~"

Dudu spoke the human language very standardly and ran towards the woods in the north.

And on the driver's seat of Dayuanbao was indeed the sand bell cactus mentioned by Miss Qun'er.

Sha Ling noticed the parallel racing car, her yellow eyes blinked twice, and then widened a little.

She may not remember Miss Skirt, but this discontinued Corolla with pink paint is also quite recognizable.

bang——

A golden ball of light was suspended above the big ingot, scattering light.

Fire Skill: Sunny Day

In the game, the weather is changed to sunny, but it is not that magical in reality. It is a small sun made of fire energy to simulate the sunny day effect within the skill range.

Miss Skirt's Trigger Feature: Chlorophyll. Greatly increased speed.

Although there is no luxurious "characteristic skill slot", Miss Qun'er's faster reaction speed is also very comfortable.

I'm not sure what the specific characteristics of the sand bell cactus opposite are, but it may also be chlorophyll.

Regardless, she was being quite friendly.

It was not convenient to stop and chat on the mountain road, so both parties stopped the car on a flat field on the road outside Kuye City.

The sound of wind blowing the grass leaves is the voice of Miss Skirt.

The sound of the sand bell cactus is a "sand bell" sound. A musical instrument called a hand-cranked sand bell (Maracas Indian musical instrument) is usually a wooden structure in the shape of a chicken leg, with dry plant seeds placed in the cavity. When shaken, it makes a "rustling" or "swishing" sound.

"Jildy, what are they talking about?"

Shen Qi did not go up to interrupt, but called out Jilidan to help translate.

[That grass-type Pokémon...I've never seen it before]

"Sandbell Cactus, the origin is much farther away than Sinnoh."

[Sandbell Cactus knows Miss Skirt, or rather, knows our racing car]

Sha Ling first introduced herself. She and the just-mentioned Dodo live in Golden City, and her trainer is called Imetti.

"There is a trainer..."

Miss Skirt mentioned earlier that the sand bell cactus participated in important competitions alone, which always made people feel that she had no owner.

Wait…Imity?

auspicious?

Jilidan looked at Shen Qi who was thinking, [Do you know him? ]

"I don't know him, I just know his name."

It is impossible for Shen Qi to remember the names of all the characters in the game, but he will remember some unique or very special characters.

Imetti, who is the "imitation girl" in the game, actually lives in Golden City and has a Dudu in her room.

When the player enters the house, the imitating girl will dress up as the player, and Dudu will also imitate the player's speech.

However, the imitating girl was not given a name in the game, and it was only in the animation that we learned that her name was "Imity".

Speaking of his master, the sand bell cactus felt a little sad.

Shen Qi stood aside with an expression that said, "I knew there was a knife."

Imedie is ill and needs long-term treatment. The sand bell cactus she has raised since childhood practices racing skills hard to treat the trainer.

Doudou can't race cars, and he has to stay at home to take care of his trainer. At most, he can go out to collect herbs, buy medicine, and purchase supplies like he did just now, and he has to return soon.

Miss Qun'er hurried to comfort Sha Ling.

Actually, Miss Skirt also...

Feeling sympathetic towards each other, Miss Quner began to tell her past stories.

Shen Qi and Jilidan quickly pricked up their ears. They had only heard Miss Qun'er briefly talk about the tragedy of that year, so no one dared to bring it up again, let alone ask in depth.

Chapter 109 Grave Track

Sayaka

Jilidan's little eyes looked at Shen Qi expectantly.

[Do you know him? ]

While talking about the past with the Sand Bell Cactus, Miss Qun'er mentioned the name of the hot girl, and it was the first time that Shen Qi heard her real name.

"How could I possibly know him... Just tell me your name and I'll know it?!"

Moreover, the name "Sayaka" has appeared in many works.

The first thing Shen Qi thought of was actually "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" and Sayaka Miki.

Then there is the voice actor: Sayaka Takagi, who has voiced Erza in Fairy Tail and Irisviel in Fate/Zero.

As for the world of Pokémon... who knows? He's definitely not a mainstream gym leader, nor is he a very outstanding trainer.

Miss Qun'er and Shaling Cactus have the same ambitions, the same height, the same attributes, the same professional hobbies, and they soon became close and became like close sisters.

Fortunately, the sand bell cactus has few thorns, mainly the thorns on the palms that replace the fingers, and the thorns on the forehead and whip. The rest of the body is a smooth green trunk that will not hurt those who have close contact.

Miss Qun'er had been traveling for a whole day, and no matter how much Sand Bell Cactus wanted to play together, they couldn't delay any longer. The two sides added each other as friends, as the regular season would start in two days, so there was still time for communication.

The corolla started, and on the way to Golden Yellow City, it was obvious that Miss Skirt was in a good mood.

"You made good friends?"

'Um! ’

There are many scenes in anime where Pokémon get sick and trainers work hard to make money. It is really rare to see the opposite situation where trainers get sick and Pokémon make money by participating in competitions.

'But we have an appointment.'

Miss Qun'er's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Each of them has their own obsession with striving for a ranking, and it is impossible for them to show mercy just because the other person's story is sad.

Doing so is irresponsible in life and disrespectful to others.

“And we’re not that leisurely.”

Coincidentally, after winning the last Doll Town regular season, Shen Qi's family's financial situation has at best been alleviated, but it is still not enough to obtain a competition permit.

Try to get into the top three in this regular season.

Fortunately, the organizers were quite generous. In addition to the prize money for the top three, the top five received free post-race inspection services and reimbursement of energy expenses.

It's double reimbursement.

After the game, you can fill up your energy for free and be given an extra set of barcodes, similar to a shopping card, which can be used to consume the same amount of energy anytime and anywhere.

This is equivalent to reimbursing travel expenses.

The Sand Bell Cactus comes from Jinhuang City, which is relatively close. As long as you are in the top five, you won’t spend any “gas money”.

Of course, Miss Qun'er and Shen Qi's goal is not just gas money.

After tasting the sweetness once, the desire for victory and bonus becomes stronger.

The sunset in the distance dyed the clouds golden, and the water surface also rippled with the same hue.

Just like the city's slogan: Dead leaves are the orange and yellow of sunset

Although it is a city in the inner part of the Kanto region, Vermilion City has a unique port advantage.

The ocean extends into the Kanto region, forming a fairly large inland sea, allowing inland areas to have direct navigation with the open sea.

Most cities do not have the geographical advantage of Vermilion City, which is adjacent to the inland sea. Cities that are also adjacent to the inland sea cannot compare with Vermilion City in terms of scale and first-mover advantage.

This created the first port in the Kanto region.

Unfortunately, Shen Qi's current financial resources are limited, so he cannot stay in a hotel in the central area of ​​Kuye City, let alone stay near the expensive Kuye Port.

You can only look at the port from afar when driving by. In the gradually darkening night, the cruise ship lights up its bright lights, carrying distinguished guests for a banquet at sea.

The world-famous luxury cruise ship "Santianu", the "Water Flow" heading to the Chengdu area, and the most famous and fastest "Sea Flame Horse" heading to the Seven Islands are all star ships in Dead Leaf Port.

After a brief journey through the bustling neon lights, the journey will eventually return to reality.

Shen Qi was carrying his luggage and in front of him was an ordinary hotel located in the northern suburbs of Kuye City.

The main reason for choosing to stay here is the high cost-effectiveness. It costs 200b a night and provides a regular breakfast as well as an elf ration.

Another reason is that it is close to the venue selected for this regular season.

Today was a truly tiring journey. Including the ferry, the total journey was about 800 kilometers. Taking into account the twists and turns, the actual journey would be even longer.

The advantage is that with such a long distance, there is more time to discuss tactics and test some coordinated operations on the way.

The disadvantage is that it is really tiring. Miss Quner can rest at the 3rd island, the 2nd island and the ferry section, and spend the rest of the time driving.

Now that they have settled in the hotel, Shen Qi doesn't have much energy to explore the public information about the event, and Miss Qun'er has simply gone straight into her Poké Ball and fallen asleep.

When the sun was high the next day, Shen Qi got up in a hurry, "Jilin, help me get breakfast!"

The free breakfast ticket has a limited usage time. You cannot get breakfast and the elf rations after 9 am.

auspicious!

Unlike Shen Qi and Miss Qun'er who were lying dead, Jilidan was doing push-ups in high spirits early in the morning.

She has been practicing hard in the deep mountains and forests for many years. The physical strength and energy consumed by traveling are simply not worth mentioning. There is no difference between sitting in the car for a day and resting for a day.

Jilidan went out in a hurry to get breakfast, and Shen Qi bought a portion of elf rations downstairs with his own money. While eating breakfast, he studied the track of this regular season.

As usual, the official regular season track will be changed by the organizer, using Pokémon skills to create difficulties and change the terrain.

Local drivers who are familiar with the route also have to be careful when running the first lap.

After the race, the organizers will also ask bodyguards to restore the track to its original state so as not to affect the normal use of the road or damage the natural environment.

Now all Shen Qi can see is the approximate location information of the track.

Heading north from Vermilion City, you will reach the Silent Forest section.

Due to hardware and technical limitations, the game cannot fully restore the rich world of Pokémon, and Shen Qi only knew about the "Silent Bridge" back then.

Heading south from Ziyuan Town, which houses the Dream Tomb, Route 12 is filled with small wooden ferry crossings, with lots of fishing uncles squatting along the way, calling this a fishing sanctuary.

There is also Forgotten Grandpa (Magic Grandpa) living near the Silent Bridge, who helps Pokémon eliminate some skills that cannot be directly replaced.

Draw a square on the map that includes Vermilion City and Lavender Town. They are located at opposite corners, at the lower left corner and the upper right corner respectively.

The mainstream Route 11 connects the two cities along the side of a square, while the Silent Forest section runs roughly diagonally, which is closer, but the road conditions are definitely not as good as the main road outside.

"We have to go to Ziyuan Town for this competition."

The race schedule information indicated that the race would start in the northern section of Silent Forest, then enter the suburbs of Ziyuan Town and then turn back, with the winner to be determined in two laps.

There's a Pokémon cemetery there, and a life-and-death race.

Chapter 110 Construction Site Racing Track

'How terrible.'

Miss Qun'er, who slept until noon and got up to eat, was listening to Shen Qi describing the site selection for the track and couldn't help shuddering.

"Don't be afraid. It won't go to the cemetery."
