Chapter 57: Speed Contest Begins
The green grassland is crowded with many trainers and citizens of Goshawk City, and it looks dark. As a large-scale competition in Goshawk City, the Speed Contest gathers many trainers here every year.
Each trainer can only have one participating Pokémon, this is to prevent familiar Pokémon from cooperating with each other and affecting the balance of the game.
The Speed Contest prohibits the use of certain moves. After all, some moves can increase speed in a short period of time, such as Lightning Flash, or more advanced high-speed movement moves.
The Speed Contest is a test of speed, but it is also a test of the elves' courage, wisdom, and competitive spirit. Therefore, except for some moves that increase speed, any other moves that can interfere with the opponent can be used.
This has been the tradition of the Speed Contest for a long time, because a long time ago, the Speed Contest was a competition of pure speed, until a trainer's iron-faced ninja relied on the acceleration characteristics to crush all the way and easily won the first place. Then the Speed Contest stipulated that opponents can be interfered with and blocked during the competition.
If Pokémon with acceleration characteristics are simply banned from participating in the competition, it would be unfair to many trainers. After all, some Pokémon are naturally very fast, such as the speed of Iron Ninja. If they are deprived of the qualification to participate in the competition because of their acceleration characteristics, then the meaning of the Speed Contest is lost.
The Speed Contest is a racing competition, not a speed competition. Competition comes first and speed comes second. This has always been the rule of the Speed Contest.
Every year, a small number of trainers would bring their Iron Ninjas to participate in the Speed Tournament. However, in order to possess the Iron Ninjas, they would need to subdue the Doi Ninjas.
However, the strength of Doi Ninja is not strong. It takes a long time to cultivate it to evolve into Iron-faced Ninja. Therefore, most trainers' Doi Ninja have not evolved yet, and the Speed Speed Tournament may have ended.
However, as long as you have an Iron-faced Ninja, you can basically pass the first few rounds of the Speed Tournament easily. In the last Speed Tournament, an Iron-faced Ninja advanced to the finals, but was unfortunately defeated by a Great King Swallow, which was also quite fast, using a flying move.
Without the trainer's command, the Pokémon's autonomy is very important, and this is also what makes the Speed Contest different.
Kalia, Yuechuanjiang and others stood in the crowd. There was still some time before the Speed Tournament started, so many trainers gathered together to talk.
"Lots of flying-type elves."
Kalia looked at the elves around her. Because the Speed Contest used to be a Flying Contest, the elves participating in the competition every year are mainly flying elves.
The most common flying-type Pokémon are Pidgeot and Micko. In addition, there are some very unpopular Pokémon, such as Gnat, Meltmoth, and Flying Squirrel, etc.
In addition to the flying type, there are also many Pokémon with other attributes, such as Rattata, Ursa Major, Thing Ball, Charmander, etc.
These elves are all known for their speed, and are strong contenders to advance to the final rounds of this Speed Contest.
"I hope I can advance to the first round this time. There are so many powerful Pokémon." Rossa was a little pessimistic. Although his Pidgeot was not bad, he just looked at the Pokémon entered by other trainers. There were a lot of them with Pidgeot, and there were also many rare Flying-type Pokémon.
This year's Speed Tournament was as lively as ever, but most of the trainers were just there to make up the numbers. After all, some trainers had limited resources and were unable to capture those rare Pokémon.
Trainers who own Pidgeot and Mooko account for almost one-third of all trainers. The remaining small number of trainers are just there to watch the fun and try their luck. Only a small group of trainers have specially trained Pokémon just for the Speed Tournament.
Kalia also lost confidence at this time. The more she understood, the more she realized the gap. After all, the forest lizard was too low level and its speed had not yet been fully improved.
However, Kalia is still confident of advancing to the first round. After all, Forest Lizard is not bad, and many trainers' Pokémon are not as good as Forest Lizard.
Lin Chuan followed behind Kaliya. He had grown a lot taller now. Although not too tall, he was at least one meter tall, a head taller than the forest lizard.
At this time, he was observing the Pokémon of other trainers and analyzing the overall level of the Speed Contest. However, the more he looked, the more solemn he felt. There were many Pokémon with excellent speed. If their levels were higher, they might surpass him.
The most threatening among them are undoubtedly the Great King Swallow and the Iron-faced Ninja. The Great King Swallow's speed racial value is as high as 120, and its evolution level needs to be 22.
Lin Chuan is now competing in speed with King Yan. King Yan is faster than him because he is at a higher level, while the Iron-faced Ninja's speed racial value is as high as 160, making him the undisputed fastest Pokémon in the Speed Contest, and he only needs to level 20 to evolve.
Except for King Yan and Iron-faced Ninja, Lin Chuan is not inferior to the others. After all, his current speed racial value is 120, and it has reached the maximum speed of 120.
Ordinary elves with a speed racial value below 100 and a level below 25 can basically not be faster than Lin Chuan, unless the opponent also has a system and has reached the speed limit.
"It's still a bit troublesome to get first place." Lin Chuan was a little annoyed, but there was a solution. The Speed Speed Competition did not prohibit elves from actively attacking, and other elves could also fight back, so he had room to maneuver.
As time passed, the competition venue has been set up. It is a very wide venue, large enough for ten elves to compete. The rules of the competition are very simple. It is prohibited to use moves, drugs, and props that increase speed for a short period of time. Fighting between elves is allowed, and the elf that reaches the destination first can advance to the next round.
The process of the competition is to cross the entire blue grassland, starting from the west, and running or flying to the east at the fastest speed. During the process, there will be some special elves to interfere and block.
There were a total of 500 elves participating in the competition, with 10 elves in a group, and a total of 50 groups. Hundreds of elves were eliminated in the first round alone, and the competition was very fierce.
Soon, the opening ceremony of the Speed Conference began. After the top leaders of Goshawk City talked a lot of nonsense, the leader of the Goshawk City Gym, Cass, appeared.
Cass is not only the gym leader of the Goshawk City Gym, but also one of the organizers of the Speed Conference. He appears at the Speed Conference every year to give some inspiring speeches and motivate the trainers.
After Cas gave a bunch of inspiring speeches and the trainers applauded enthusiastically, the Speed Contest officially kicked off.
Afterwards, many trainers began to collect the competition logo stickers and stick them on their participating Pokémon. Each logo has a number for easy identification.
Lin Chuan looked at the label on Yue Chuanjiang's Charmeleon, which had the number 35. While Kalia was not paying attention, Lin Chuan secretly transferred the number label to himself, and then exchanged positions with Yue Chuanjiang's Charmeleon.
"Just keep sleeping and eat when you wake up." Lin Chuan instructed. What he liked most were sleeping and eating. Yue Chuanjiang's Fire Dinosaur only needed to eat and sleep, sleep and eat. The two Fire Dinosaurs were similar, and Kalia could basically not tell them apart.
Yue Chuanjiang's Fire Dinosaur nodded, and then Lin Chuan ran to Yue Chuanjiang's side, followed behind Yue Chuanjiang silently, waiting for the game to begin.
Kalia didn't notice anything wrong. She just saw Charmeleon lying on the ground and snoring. She didn't care and focused on watching the speed competition that was about to begin.
