Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 122: Spring Horse Race, Opening!

198 calendar year, March 25, sunny, Wednesday.

Today is the day of the spring horse race, and after busy with work on the ranch, Naoki specially brought a few Pokémon to watch and join in the fun.

By the way, learn the rules of the competition in advance to prepare him for future competitions.

The spring horse race takes place in a vast meadow just outside town.

By the time Naoki arrived, there were already quite a few people gathered here.

Passing trainers, small couples who come to travel, boys who come to watch the race with their father, old people who raise horses, and so on.

The grass is lit up, with streamers hanging at the entrance of the "Spring Horse Racing Festival in Jingqin Town", and stalls for buying horse racing tickets not far away, and behind the stalls are various small prizes and props, which can be exchanged for horse racing tickets.

At this time, there were already a lot of competitors on the racetrack.

Naoki stood not far away and looked over there with envy on his face.

There, he saw the Flame Horse covered in red flames, which was very well cared for, and was particularly dazzling among the horses.

In addition to the normal form of the Flame Horse, there is also the Rainbow Flame Horse in the form of the Galar Region.

Its body is snow-white, and the mane on its head and tail is as ethereal and dreamy as colorful clouds of smoke.

In addition to the flame horse, there are also lightning zebras full of electric light, heavy mud horses with strong bodies and full of strength, and a hippopotamus beast with a light brown body and a slightly obese body.

Well?

It seems that something strange has mixed in.

Isn't the hippopotamus beast a hippopotamus Pokémon? Why can you also participate in horse racing competitions?

At this time, Naoki heard the voice of Evan, the mailer, behind him.

He turned his head and saw Evan running towards him, "Hey, Naoki, you're here too?"

Naoki nodded: "Yes, the work in the ranch is over, so come and take a look." "

Evan pulled Naoki to the horse farm and grinned: "Come and pick the runner you are going to support later!

To be honest, Naoki hasn't thought about it yet.

But he had a question to say.

Looking at the hippopotamus beast that spit sand, Naoki asked, "That kind of Pokémon can also participate in horse racing?"

Evan smiled and explained: "Because the number of horse Pokémon is too small, so the town stipulates that any Pokémon with a horse in their name can come to participate!"

Naoki: "..."

Ai Wen said again: "It's good now, and last year there were still players who brought Mohaima to compete!"

I'm sorry, he can't imagine that image.

After all, the Mo Seahorse is very small, and there is no way to drive humans who are much larger than it.

"Who are you going to support?" asked Evan.

Naoki set his sights on the group of horse Pokémon, and finally stopped at a sturdy flame horse.

"Well, that Flaming Horse looks like it has the potential to win the championship. "

Compared with the Flame Horse, the Thunder Zebra looks a little too strong, and the size of the heavy mud horse does not look like a fast Pokémon.

As for the Flame Horse in the form of the Galar Region... Its body shape is also very fit.

Naoki's gaze wandered between the two horses, and for a moment he was a little undecided.

Evan looked over there with some excitement and said, "I'm going to support that heavy mud horse!

"The shelf is big, shouldn't it run slowly?"

Evan looked at him and probably understood his thoughts, so he explained: "No, no, no, this is not the same as traditional horse racing!"

Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly.

Evan pointed to the heavy mud horse and continued with excitement in his eyes:

"In the process of horse racing, Pokémon moves are allowed, take that heavy mud horse, as long as it causes an earthquake during the running, then the other runners will - bang!

Naoki: "???"

"Wait, will the trainer ride on horseback during the race?"

"Of course!" Evan explained, "However, the trainer will wear the corresponding protective gear, which can isolate the impact of the Pokémon move to the greatest extent, and even if it is hit, it will not hurt much." "

Naoki: "..."

Sure enough, everyone in this world is super real new physique, right?

If that's the case, then he'll have to rethink who he supports.

Earthquakes can help the mud to close the speed gap between other Pokémon.

Sand hippos can kick up dust and interfere with the sight of other players.

The Raiden Zebra also has a large number of jamming moves.

If you think about it, it seems that it is more difficult to choose.

However, the horse race was about to begin, and Evan pulled Naoki to buy a horse racing ticket.

The owner of the stall, a balding man with glasses, looked very savvy, and on the table in front of him was a sign saying that one person could only buy 200 horse racing tickets, and one horse racing ticket cost 50 Union Coins.

In the cupboard behind him are all kinds of props.

The most basic is all kinds of special poké balls, such as diving balls and nest balls, which are 50 horse racing tickets.

The more expensive ones are the power-ups for Pokémon, such as electric balls that allow Pikachu to carry them to boost attacks and special attacks, hard stones that increase the power of rock attribute moves, and black glasses that increase the power of evil attribute moves.

These require 250 horse racing tickets.

In addition, there are various attribute evolution stones that Naoki wants the most.

He roughly swept it, except for the Sun Stone and the Moon Stone, there were all other ice, fire, water and leaf mines.

And their exchange price is 300 horse racing tickets.

"A horse racing ticket 50, 200 is only 10,000, bought it!"

Naoki waved his hand and bought two hundred from his boss.

And Evan also bought two hundred.

At this time, a horn sounded, saying that the first round of the game was about to begin.

The boss behind him reminded: "Are you two going to start betting?"

With that, he pulled out a table with the odds for each player.

The largest is the sand hippopotamus, which reaches an exaggerated figure of 1/57.

The Flame Horse, the Galar Flame Horse, and the Thunder Zebra are comparable, all 1/1.5.

The heavy mud horse hovered around 1/3.

"It seems that most people like me chose to crush the flame horse!" thought Naoki.

Evan on the side simply bet all the horse racing tickets on the heavy mud horse.

Naoki hesitated for a moment, but still chose to trust his judgment and bet on the flaming horse of the divine horse.

After the bet was made, Naoki took Gu Lerton to the audience after Evan.

Evan's Pokémon is a small Mi Li Long, and he puts that sushi-style Mi Li Long above his head to watch the game with him.

Spectators gathered here one after another.

All the competitors at the racecourse also put on protective gear and rode on horseback.

With a whistle, all the Pokémon on the runway ran out at the same time.

Looking at the way they galloped below, Naoki was extremely envious.

At this moment, he made a decision in his heart: one day, he will have a horse of his own!

Just like the Ghost Horse and the Snow Blizzard Horse!

Speaking of the Ghost Horse and the Snow Blizzard Horse, Naoki suddenly thought that he might be able to go to the Galar region.

Because Lei Guanwang's current situation is not very good, not only has he been forgotten by the world, but his two horses have all run away.

The plot of the crowned snowfield comes to his mind, maybe he can turn the horse of the crown king back with the people.

Then borrow a horse from Lei Guanwang to participate in the competition.

But......

The ranch is now in the development stage, and it is still inseparable from him, and as soon as he leaves, the Pokémon will go hungry.

And even if he goes to the Crown Snow Plain, he may not be able to find the Lei Guan King.

But then, Naoki suddenly thought of something, according to the legend of King Reiguan, it is said that he can see everything through the past, the present and the future.

So the question is, if he does something good for King Lei in the region of Parthia, will he be able to see it?

For example, building an ancestral hall or something, maybe it can raise the favor of the Lei Guan King, and when he goes to the Galar area in the future, the Lei Guan King will take the initiative to come out to see him.

Thinking of this, Naoki decided to turn around and build an ancestral hall for King Lei Guan in the ranch.

Don't care if Lei Guanwang can really sense it, anyway, you don't need money to believe in it.

Small Theater "The Diary of the Lei Guan King"

On the first day, Solitude sensed the only believer in this world and peeked at what kind of person he was.

On the twentieth day, Gu saw that the believer had built an ancestral hall for Gu to worship, and Gu Gu's heart was greatly moved, hoping that the believer would come and find himself.

On the nth day, the believer had not yet come and thought of him.

Day n+1, O believer! Come on! Help the orphan breed the radishes, and the lonely will use the radish to hang the lonely horse.

Day n+1+ 18, O believer, why don't you come to seek loneliness?
