Chapter 58 The Game Begins
The first round of the Speed Tournament began soon , and many trainers gathered near the starting point, looking at a large screen nearby.
Because they have to cross the blue grassland, the entire stadium is very large, which makes it impossible for trainers to run with the Pokémon, so this big screen was created.
The images on the big screen are provided by a professional commentator from Goshawk City. The commentator will ride on the M'K Eagle and follow the participating elves all the way, commenting and broadcasting the situation of the game so that everyone can understand the specific situation of the game.
"The game is about to begin."
The first round of the competition is about to begin. The forest lizard is numbered 78, which is the eighth group. The first round of the competition alone will take a long time. After all, there are a total of fifty groups. Crossing the entire blue grassland cannot be completed in a short time.
The Blue Grassland is the second largest grassland in the Sebastian area and is very large in scope. This time, the competition area was deliberately chosen as the closest area.
If an ordinary person were to participate in a running competition, it might take them half a day to reach the other side of the grassland, so a large screen broadcast is needed, one to allow for an understanding of the competition situation, and the other to allow trainers to not worry about their own Pokémon.
The Speed Contest is a very formal competition. There has been basically no case of a participating Pokémon going missing. The safety of every Pokémon is guaranteed. Even if an Pokémon is injured and eliminated, someone will immediately provide treatment.
Lin Chuan looked at the big screen in the distance and saw that the first group of participating Pokémon had already appeared on the field. Among them, six were flying-type Pokémon, and the remaining four were of other attributes.
The flying-type Pokémon are Ocellaris, Pidgeot, Micko, and Flying Squirrel, and there are three Micko among them.
After all, Mukker is one of the easiest Flying-type Pokémon to capture. It has a gentle personality and is easy to train, making it the Pokémon of choice for many new trainers.
The remaining four are Pokémon of other attributes, Longtail, Electric, Elegant and Rattata.
Lin Chuan took a look at the participating Pokémon. The first group of Electric Flying Squirrels had the highest speed racial value, reaching 103. It was also a relatively rare Pokémon with both electric and flying attributes.
The electric flying squirrel looks very cute. When it appeared in close-up on the big screen, it immediately attracted the love of some trainers, and they all cheered for it.
Although the speed of the Flying Squirrel is the highest, Lin Chuan cannot be sure which Pokémon is the fastest. After all, the level cannot be seen, and it depends on the performance after the game starts.
"Hello everyone, this is the 12th Speed Conference, I am the commentator Jia Jia..."
A beautiful woman in cool clothes was riding on a Mook Hawk and hovering in the air. She was the commentator of this competition, Jia Jia. She held a small and lightweight camera in her hand and pointed the camera at the ten elves that were about to start the competition.
With Jia Jia's commentary, the atmosphere of the game gradually became lively. After all, Jia Jia is a famous commentator in the Sebastian region and also a strong intermediate trainer.
The game was about to begin. With the referee's command, six flying elves flew out instantly, and at the same time, the four elves on the ground also rushed out quickly.
Lin Chuan looked at the big screen and saw that Flying Squirrel and Raticate were the fastest. Raticate's speed race stat was as high as 97, and in order to evolve from Little Rattata to Rattata, it had to be at least level 20.
Except for these two elves, the other elves were slower, but not too slow, and they followed closely behind the two leading elves.
"As you can see, at the moment, Flying Squirrel and Raida are far ahead, but the other Pokémon are also fast, such as Zapdos..."
Jia Jia explained quickly, riding on the M'K Eagle and following the elf closely , filming and explaining at the same time.
Lin Chuan was watching the competition. At the moment, the Proud Swallow was the slowest and it looked like it had not yet reached level 20. Otherwise, based on the speed stat of Proud Swallow, it should be faster than the Bibi Bird.
Only the first place in the group stage can advance, which can be said to be quite cruel. Lin Chuan feels that there should not be many elves with speed ability values over 400.
Don't underestimate the number of only 400, because these elves have not reached the speed limit. Based on their speed racial values, if they want to exceed the speed ability value of 400, they must be at least level 20.
Lin Chuan can easily reach the speed limit because of the system. Other Pokémon may be able to reach the speed limit through hard training, but novice trainers certainly cannot do it.
At this time, the gap between the elves had slowly widened. The gap between the leading elf and the last elf was at least twenty meters. Moreover, during the race, the Electric Squirrel also used electric shock waves to attack Rada on the ground, interfering with Rada's running speed.
It has to be said that flying Pokémon still have advantages. Without long-range moves, it is difficult for Pokémon on the ground to interfere with Pokémon in the air.
Rada also slowed down because of his avoidance of the electric shock wave moves, and was far ahead of the Electric Squirrel, and the gap between them was instantly widened.
After watching for a while, Lin Chuan felt a little sleepy and wanted to sleep. Just as he was about to sit down to take a nap, he immediately remembered that their identities had been swapped and he must not reveal his true identity.
He frequently felt sleepy, causing his eyelids to twitch constantly, but Lin Chuan could only try to keep himself fresh.
"Charmeleon, do you want to take a break?" Yue Chuanjiang noticed Charmeleon's abnormality and thought that Charmeleon was tired, so he threw out the Poké Ball and prepared to let Charmeleon return to the Poké Ball to rest. After all, there was still some time before the start of the fourth group.
Boom!
Lin Chuan felt his head being hit with a clear sound. Although it didn't hurt, it made him wake up instantly.
Lin Chuan immediately realized that what was thrown over was a Poké Ball. He turned around and saw Yue Chuanjiang's surprised and confused expression.
Lin Chuan looked at Yue Chuanjiang nervously, wondering if he would be discovered. This Poké Ball obviously belonged to Charmeleon, so there was no way to put him in it.
"Charmeleon, you don't want to enter the Poké Ball now?" Yue Chuanjiang said a little disappointed.
Lin Chuan suddenly became possessed by a spirit of drama and looked very depressed. After all, he was now a psychologically traumatized Pokémon, so it seemed reasonable for him not to enter the Poké Ball.
Yue Chuanjiang saw Charmeleon's appearance, sighed, and said with some self-blame: "It's all my fault that I didn't take good care of you. If I had put you in the Poké Ball, you wouldn't have been captured."
Lin Chuan continued to pretend that he didn't want to pay attention to him, and then watched the game quietly. Although the game was boring, he was not sleepy at all at this moment.
Lin Chuan was a little regretful about agreeing to exchange identities with Fire Dinosaur. Fortunately, his acting skills were good and Yue Chuanjiang obviously didn't notice anything.
There was no suspense in the first group of competition. In the end, the Electric Flying Squirrel reached the finish line first and qualified for the next round.
It is a pity that there was no fierce battle in the first group of matches. Only the Flying Squirrel released an electric wave to interfere with Rada. The other Pokémons were running at full speed and had no time to pay attention to the nearby Pokémons.
Although some interfering obstacles arranged by the contestants slowed down the speed of the Electric Squirrel for a while, the gap was too big and only Rada could barely keep up with the Electric Squirrel. The other Pokémons couldn't even see the shadow of the Electric Squirrel, let alone catch up.
After the first group of competitions ended, the second group of competitions began soon. The commentator Jia Jia also rode the Muke Eagle back to the starting point and began to comment on the second group of competitions.
I have to say that the commentator's physical strength is really good. Holding the camera equipment, not only does he have to waste his breath explaining non-stop, but he also has to keep the camera aimed at the participating elves without any shaking.
Time passed gradually, and Lin Chuan watched one group of competitions after another. The competition in the second group was particularly fierce. A Mook and a Zubat started fighting because of their similar speed.
Many Pokémons came from behind and gradually surpassed Mickel and Zubat, and finally a Straight-Turtle qualified for the next round.
Although the overall speed of the second group is not as good as that of the first group, the situation of the second group also makes the trainers understand that it is okay to interfere with the opponent, but the speed of the Pokémon should not be reduced due to the interference, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
Soon the competition of the third group ended and the competition of the fourth group was about to begin. Lin Chuan's number was 35, so he was the one to play in this group.
"Charizard, let's go." Yue Chuanjiang led Lin Chuan out of the crowd and came to the starting point, then gave some encouragement.
Lin Chuan stood at the starting point, ignoring Yue Chuanjiang, but looked at the participating elves next to him, thinking about how to conduct this competition.
With the big screen and commentary, he certainly couldn't be ahead of all the elves, because then the commentator would focus on him and his figure would also appear on the big screen.
Yue Chuanjiang knows Charmeleon very well and will surely soon find out that he is not his Charmeleon, so Lin Chuan must try not to appear on the big screen and qualify for the next round in a low-key manner.
