Pokémon development strategy

The slogan of Vermilion City mentioned earlier: Vermilion is the orange-yellow color at dusk.

Ziyuan Town is: Ziyuan is the color of noble purple orchid

The illustrated guide describes it as a peaceful and solemn town.

Miss Qun'er shivered and stuck to Shen Qi's side.

The scariest thing is not something that is scary directly, but something that looks normal everywhere, yet something is wrong.

Indeed, even before the time travel, players knew many supernatural legends about Ziyuan Town.

Now is not the time to tell gui stories. There are many people living in Lavender Town in the real Pokémon world. The historical competitions in Vermilion City and Golden City have also involved Lavender Town sections, so there will definitely be no problem.

Ding dong.

Miss Qun'er's phone began to sound like a friend's message alert.

Originally, the only person who would send her a friend message was Shen Qi.

Later, when they lived together, Shen Qi had almost no need to use social software to contact Miss Qun'er. Now that the reminder sounded, the other party could only be the Sand Bell Cactus he had just met.

Miss Skirt excitedly picked up her phone and pressed twice, and then... they had a voice call.

This was the first time Miss Qun'er used the call function since she got the mobile phone and she was very excited.

Jigglypuff went out for a run. Shen Qi, who was standing next to him, didn't understand the Pokémon language, but was glad that Miss Qun'er could make a close friend.

'Sha Ling invited us to go to the racetrack tonight.'

"A racetrack?"

Most of the racing competitions in the Pokémon world are wild races, which have off-road elements and variables such as unknown levels created by the organizers. There are very few regular track races.

The racing track has two main functions: first, the examination for ordinary driver's license and racing driver's teaching;

The second is to pay to enter the venue for a run after the car is modified to debug the data and run it in.

Regardless of the reason for entering the racetrack, the price is quite expensive. The cheaper racetrack in Qianhong City charges 2000b per hour for the most basic level, and a deposit of 2b is required.

Vermilion City should be more expensive.

"Of course I'm not going in to spend money."

Shen Qi's financial situation is not very good, but he just needs money to improve himself and gain qualifications;

The situation is even worse for the Sand Bell Cactus family. Their trainer Imedie is sick, and treatment is a long-term expense, so of course they won’t spend money indiscriminately.

The racing track mentioned in the conversation is medium-sized and does average business. Sand Bell Cactus and Wrist Power who works there are good friends.

'So when there's no one at night, you can let us in for free.'

Late at night, there are few vehicles on the suburban routes, and most racers go to race in the mountains or on wild roads, and few choose to go to the racetrack.

In principle, it's fine as long as you don't disturb the operation of the racetrack. There are people running around in the middle of the night, and Shen Qi and Sha Ling, who haven't paid, basically can't leave. At most they can just look and chat.

If the stadium is empty, good friends are allowed to run for free.

"It's pretty good. Since we can't go to the actual stadium anyway, it's worth walking around a little bit."

I arrived at Vermilion City two days in advance mainly to adjust my condition, but it would be better if I could get some extra gains.

Grab the toolbox and go check the car first.

I drove the Corolla for several hundred kilometers yesterday, and I definitely had to do some basic tuning and safety checks before the race.

Shen Qi tried to save money wherever possible. He did not rent a workshop to store the corollas, and it was even more impossible for him to hire someone to maintain them.

Miss Quner parked the car directly in the hotel parking lot and carried out basic inspection on the spot.

I had slept until noon, and after completing the inspection, I had dinner and then took a walk around the neighborhood. The streets were already lit up with bright lights, and the prosperity of Kuye City did not yield even a bit to the dark night.

A little after 21 p.m., Shaling Cactus sent a message saying that they could meet, which was earlier than Shen Qi expected.

"I'm actually quite curious. How good must the skills of Sha Ling Cactus be to earn a living by racing?"

It is always a disadvantage for a single person or a single Pokémon to participate in the competition. The various aspects of the Sandbell Cactus are similar to Miss Skirt, and its skill pool also includes "Growth" and "Photosynthesis".

The difference is that the Elf High School provides food and accommodation for the girls in skirts, and the money earned can be invested in racing.

Even if the sand bell cactus earns a lot, the main expenses have to be spent on the family, and money, time and energy are even more limited.

"She...can only make up for her disadvantage with stronger skills."

Miss Skirt had two years of experience as a lone driver and knew that she was at a great disadvantage without a co-driver. Cactus of the Sand Bell had a longer career and must have found his own way.

'Let's go before we're late.'

Miss Qun'er opened the car door, but Shen Qi did not get in immediately.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to buy some midnight snacks."

Although you are not rich, you should not be too stingy with small things.

Sand Bell Cactus asked an acquaintance to enter the racing track for free, and he also remembered to invite Miss Qun'er. As a trainer, Shen Qi should at least respond with some thoughtfulness.

After buying some Pokémon snacks, I activated the Flower Crown and headed to the northeast of Vermilion City.

As mentioned by the Sand Bell Cactus, there was a construction site that had been delayed for several years and was later converted into a medium-sized racing track.

“The construction site has been under construction for several years…”

Shen Qi remembered what the sand bell cactus said about his friend at the racetrack being an arm wrestler, plus the information about the construction site and the "northeast" location of Vermilion City...there really is such a place in the game.

At the construction site northeast of Vermilion City, there was a Wristlet building a house starting from the earliest Red/Green/Blue versions of Pokémon. It had been under construction for three years.

By the time gold and silver were reproduced, the player took the maglev train back to Kanto, while Wanli was still building a house. It was impossible to calculate how many years the time span was.

'We've arrived.'

The large arch built with abandoned steel beams is similar to the headlights used for night lighting on construction sites, and the signboard is also full of rough welding style.

"Construction Site Racing Track... Is the name so simple and crude?"

For racing drivers, regular competitions are also held on wild roads. The racing venues do not need to be high-end, and a striking style is a good thing.

The rear lights were flashing, and a large white ingot was greeting us.

Miss Qun'er moved to the side and let Dayuanbao lead the way.

Since my friend brought me free admission, of course I couldn’t just go through the main entrance.

Two cars stopped at the rear employee passage.

'Skirt~'

'Sand bell~'

After greeting each other, the two Grass-type Pokémon hugged Patience.

It was only the second time they met, but it seemed as if they had already developed a deep friendship.

Shen Qi looked at it with envy.

At first, we wanted to hug Miss Qun'er, but it took a lot of preparation and planning.

A lean blue figure walked out from the employee passage.

He is an arm wrestling friend of the sand bell cactus.

Jilidan translated their conversation. There were only two cars running in the construction site racetrack. The scheduled time was almost over and there were no other guests behind.

If the two guests in the venue do not renew the extension and leave directly after the practice, the venue will be vacant and Miss Skirt and Sand Bell Cactus can go in and practice for free.

Chapter 111 A-Class Car, Rose Champagne

The remaining two groups of guests at the construction site racing track confirmed that they had no plans to extend their time and would leave after the last minute of running to go running in the mountains and on wild roads.

'Very good! ’

The sand bell cactus and Miss Skirt are sticking together again.

After staying in the venue for so long, Shen Qi learned about the past of the construction site racing track from a Onion Duck.

There was really no racetrack being built here before. Several years ago, the original building was half-built and shelved for a long time. When there was enough funding to start it again, the waste generated by the shelving and remaining parts had to be cleaned up, which suddenly increased the cost and construction period.

So it was put on hold again.

Finally, the boss went bankrupt and had no money to pay off his debts, so he mortgaged this worthless piece of land to the construction team.

It sounds like a good idea to get a piece of land. No matter how far away from the city, it is at least near Jinhuang City.

But this land really cannot be sold, and the construction team hasn't had any income for a long time. If it goes on any longer, both the people and the Pokémon will starve to death.

So they used discarded building materials to build this "construction site racing track" by themselves.

The Farfetch'd duck quacks and speaks fluent human language.

"Those years were so hard, I was afraid they would starve to death and stew me along with the green onions."

"Don't worry about it now. You are old and your flesh is thin."

"What a hell of a joke!"

Onion Duck was playing with Shen Qi while holding an onion. "I can't stand hearing that kind of talk!"

The construction site racing track not only has wrist strength, but also evolved Hao Li. At this time, he is picking up the garbage left by the guests.

In other races that Shen Qi had watched on video, there were often hot racing girls serving tea and water, and also posing for photos.

But here, the waiters are all muscled and strong.

Howl——

Hao Li reminded that the venue would be cleared after the guests left and friends could go down and play.

'let's go.'

'Um! ’

Miss Skirt took the sand bell cactus and ran down.

Shen Qi was shocked. "Don't forget about me just because you met a good sister. If I don't get in the passenger seat, what are you practicing for?"

Suddenly the wind blew and rustled the leaves, which was the sound of the sand bell cactus's uncontrollable laughter.

Miss Qun'er turned back with a red face and muttered to herself, pulling Shen Qi's clothes and walking towards the racing car.

"Pretend to be pitiful, pretend to be pitiful in front of outsiders, as if I often bully you..."

"How dare I?" Shen Qi laughed, "Come on, let's go into the gun room."

'What is a gun room?'

"Oh, that's all right, it's a name from a faraway place."

In the world before Shen Qi traveled through time, the car maintenance room was called P Room (Pit House), and the place where the cars went in to change tires during F1 races was also the P Room.

As the veteran drivers got used to calling it that, it came up with some strange nicknames.

The two racing cars had just driven out of the maintenance room when the Farfetch'd Duck suddenly flapped its wings and landed, quacking to indicate that, unfortunately, a new guest had arrived.

The other party is a customer who actually pays to enter the venue, while Sand Bell Cactus just sneaks in for free based on his friendship.

The owner of the construction site racing track is neither Arm Wrestling nor Farfetch'd. It is not easy for them to offend the customers, so they can only apologize to their friends.

"Don't apologize." Shen Qi got out of the car. "We are already very grateful for inviting us in out of friendship."

In fact, if we just run away without saying hello, other guests won’t know that we got in through connections.

The Pokémon in the construction site racing track were not as experienced as Shen Qi and they respected the customers honestly.

Onion Duck scratched his back with an onion sheepishly. "How about this, let's try to communicate with the guests."

It’s more fun to run on wild roads and climb mountains when there is competition.

The situation at the race venue is different. A large number of drivers come to test the performance and feel of the modified cars. They usually focus on their own lap times and times. They often start at a different time from other cars, and rarely start at the same time in the field.

We can only try to negotiate. If the other party doesn't mind, or thinks it will be more lively and interesting to run with someone else, then Miss Skirt can continue.

Following the Pokémon towards the newly lit maintenance room, Shen Qi was more worried that the other party might also be a regular season contestant in Golden City. It would be bad if he had a mentality of suppressing him.

As you move closer, you can gradually see the front half of the car in the maintenance room.

What a beautiful car...

Shen Qi secretly sighed.
