Not a Pokémon Trainer, but a Pokémon Master

Perhaps, Serena would hate riding an armored rhinoceros, and there is also a reason for this.

"It seems to be in a good condition~" Seeing the practice of the two, Saqi nodded, Xiaozhi's suggestion was really effective, at least she had never seen Serena so serious about riding an armored rhinoceros.

"Just add a little more fire." Saqi decided to take them to see the world.

200 wins on its own.

It was another sunny day, but today, Xiaozhi and Serena did not continue the training of riding the armored rhinoceros, because Saqi said that he would take them to see the world?

"Today, I will take you to experience the atmosphere of riding an armored rhino." Saqi's so-called "seeing the world" means actually letting Xiaozhi and Serena go to the scene to experience the atmosphere of the arena.

Armored rhino riding is very popular in Carlos. At present, there are more than 200 cattle ranches and 3500 cattle owners in Carlos. A total of 5 people are engaged in riding-related work. The largest cattle ranch is Mia. The Miare Cattle Farm in Ray City.

All these information were found by Xiaozhi.

Although he had been to Miare City before, he really didn't notice that there was actually a huge armored rhinoceros ride on the outskirts of this capital of art and technology. To be honest, with this background alone, It has completely overwhelmed Queen Carlos's Triple Crown Satellite Tournament. After all, the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament is mainly for girls. There may not even be a hundred venues alone, and there may be only tens of thousands of people engaged in related work. .

As for armored rhinoceros riding, both men and women can participate in the competition. The population bases of the two sides have been different since the beginning. Today, Saqi brought them to the largest cattle farm in the Carlos area to see the world.

"Boom~~~~~" Before entering the door, Xiaozhi and Serena felt the extremely high atmosphere in the arena. It was not only the fighting spirit of the jockeys, but also the enthusiasm of the audience that could almost burn the entire venue. mood.

In addition to the enthusiastic audience, the armored rhinos and their jockeys running on the field with all their strength also made people look sideways. Sure enough, if they really watched the scene, the atmosphere would be completely different.

"It's so exciting!?" After entering the door, besides the huge arena, the first thing you see is the huge audience base and everyone's very excited emotions. In Xiaozhi's view, such an atmosphere It has even surpassed the league games he participated in before.

"How is it? Do you feel excited?" Perhaps feeling the familiar atmosphere, Saqi himself was very excited, and explained to Xiaozhi one by one about the armored rhinoceros.

Armored rhinoceros riding is the general name of this sport, in fact there are many details in this sport.

Race on flat ground.

One of the very mainstream races in Carlos, usually the race distance is from 1000 meters to 2400 meters, but there will be longer or shorter races, and the venues range from the most common grass to mud. The all-weather runway is artificially transformed and similar to the mud field, and there is also a sand field competition with fiber sand.

In the original book, when Xiaozhi and others passed through a town, they witnessed the scene of an armored rhino riding competition. This is the charm of armored rhino riding.

In addition, there is the so-called hurdle race.

To put it simply, this kind of event is closer to aerobatic sports. It requires the trainer to ride his armored rhino to jump over the specified number of hurdles. Because it requires the trainer's skills very much, so compared to the previous flat race, the armored rhino ride Multiplication is a relatively unpopular sport.

Most of them are sports that the local aristocratic class in Carlos will participate in.

In addition, although there are still so-called nobles in the Carlos area, they are basically descendants of the so-called nobles. Although they retain their titles and family properties, they are actually no different from ordinary people.

In addition, according to Saqi, although raising and taming cattle are full of fun, for the general audience, the greatest fun is really the lottery betting, right?

Just like Xiaozhi's horse betting in his previous life.

Because it is both exciting and full of suspense, and it can throw a lot of money. Although every horse gambler must carefully observe, analyze, and do their homework before placing a bet, it depends on the final sprint. No one can be sure of winning, which makes the gamblers feel full of interest.

The same is true in this world. In order to cater to and satisfy the interests of these audiences, Carlos's gaming industry is also quite prosperous, but it is obvious that Saqi does not like this kind of culture.

"First of all, as your elders, I will strictly control you to participate in this activity. Gambling is not good." As an elder, it is impossible for her to watch Xiaozhi and Serena indulge in this in a culture.

"I won't ban them all, because I also know that's unrealistic." When Saqi was young, he actually had the experience of spending a lot of money through the gaming industry. The house where their mother and daughter live now.

"But I hope that you will make an agreement with me for three chapters, and never indulge in this kind of activity that is absolutely not good for you." So she also knows that teaching them to know what the limit is is the most important thing compared to strict control.

"Got it, Mom, you've told me many times that I'm not interested in this kind of thing at all, and I don't have any pocket money to spend." For Serena, she was not interested in this kind of thing. Just not interested.

"..." But Xiaozhi was lost in thought, because compared to Serena, who still needs to get pocket money from her mother, Xiaozhi still has a lot of bonuses from the alliance before, as well as winning prizes from the Quartz Conference.

Although he gave half of the amount to his mother, after all, he didn't usually spend it much, but in fact, after deducting those, Xiaozhi's own deposit amount has already reached six figures.

Not only can he play, but he can also play a big one.

"Xiaozhi, you won't be interested?" Seeing that Xiaozhi was lost in thought, Saqi seemed a little worried. After all, Xiaozhi was still a young man who was interested in such gambling activities. Not impossible.

"...I'm really interested, but I don't want to participate in this kind of gambling where you pin your hopes on others." But Xiaozhi's next words made Saqi and Serena feel puzzled again. .

Say you're interested, but don't want to participate?

Seeing that the beautiful mother and daughter seemed to be confused by his own words, Xiaozhi just smiled lightly, stopped playing charades, and then began to explain his thoughts to them.

"Instead of betting my hopes on others, why don't I participate in the race myself, and then bet on myself to win!!!" He wants to participate in the armored rhino riding competition by himself, and then bet all his family fortune on himself, and in the end, rely on himself The power of the victory!!!

This is what Xiaozhi really thinks.

201 A reminder from my mother.

After visiting the arena related to the armored rhinoceros riding on the spot, Xiaozhi's enthusiasm can be said to be even greater. After all, as long as he wins, his wealth can be more than doubled.

What could be a more profitable business than this?

So for Xiaozhi, the first goal now is to train well, and then obtain a professional jockey certificate. Only in this way can he compete, and only in this way can his goal be realized.

Incidentally, the jockey's own bonus is actually quite good, but if you want to make a lot of money by becoming a jockey, if you don't devote yourself wholeheartedly to it, it is basically impossible.

Xiaozhi never thought of becoming a professional jockey.

Apart from the fact that he has his own dream to realize, a layman who hasn't practiced for a long time wants to win the championship easily, and it's for the bonus, even he himself can't accept it.

So although Saqi is somewhat disapproving of Xiaozhi's idea, after all, the idea of ​​relying on gambling to make money has never been a righteous way, even if he enters the competition by himself.

But since Xiaozhi has her own ideas and can restrain herself, then she doesn't have to ask too much, as long as she doesn't ruin her family, ruin her reputation and lose her morals.

After all, she is Serena's mother, so it is natural to care about the future financial situation of the young couple.

Saqi's worries are naturally justified, and Xiaozhi is naturally quite aware of this, but at present he does not have a relatively stable way of making money, so it is a helpless move to use this relatively speculative method.

After all, he is not a real gambler. If he has a stable and long-term way to make big money in his hands, who would want to make money from gambling?

However, although Xiaozhi is keen on riding the armored rhino, he has not forgotten that his job is a Pokémon trainer, and he has an ambition and dream that must be achieved.

Not only did the partners I brought here not slack in their daily training, but the latest addition, Quacking Paowa, because of his personality, quickly integrated into Xiaozhi's team.

"Quacking frog, try to see if you can inject more power into the waves of the water..." Just like today, after finishing the armored rhino riding training in the morning, he just rested for a while, Xiaozhi He even started his training with the Pokmon again.

This made Serena, who didn't hate Iron Rhino so much, look sideways even though she was accompanied by Xiaozhi. After all, she was so tired that she was about to faint.

"Xiaozhi, you are really amazing..." So, after watching the training, Xiaozhi, who should be very tired, immediately threw himself into the training with his partner, which made Serena feel powerless.

She is very aware of Xiaozhi's excellence, but after experiencing it personally, it made her feel the huge difference between herself and Xiaozhi even more.

"Indeed, my future son-in-law is really amazing." However, Serena was not the only one who witnessed Xiaozhi's training, and although she praised Xiaozhi, in fact, Saqi's gaze at this time was Full focus on Serena.

"Serena, do you know the difference between yourself and Xiaozhi?" Saqi didn't care about her daughter's expression of being caught doing something bad, she wanted to take this opportunity to teach Serena something.

"Xiaozhi is very powerful, I probably won't be able to catch up in my life..." And in her opinion, her daughter is indeed a bit too inferior.

"...I'm not talking about talent. That kid's talent is indeed rare, not to mention you. I think there are only ten people in the world who can match it." Although it sounds exaggerated, Saqi I don't feel like I'm exaggerating either.

She also knows a little bit about Xiaozhi's details.

With the power of waveguide, and as an excellent trainer, and even backed by a giant researcher like Dr. Oki, no one will believe that such a person will not be able to stand out in the future.

So under such a premise, asking Serena to compete with Xiaozhi is just a blow to Serena's self-confidence. Even if a competitor is needed to raise Serena's fighting spirit, it is definitely not a competition with him.

And for Saqi, the most important thing about Xiaozhi's body is not these.

"That kid is really serious about enjoying everything, whether it's a trainer or an armored rhinoceros ride, this is the biggest gap between you and him." What Saqi wants Serena to learn most is exactly It is Xiaozhi's heart to take everything seriously.

"You often do things for 3 minutes, and it is common for you to give up halfway. If you really want to walk side by side with him, at least this point, you have to study hard."

"Mom..." This is the end of Saqi's words. As for whether Serena listened to it, it will wait for the future development.

Divider.

The conversation between Serena and her mother, Xiaozhi is not clear, because he is now putting all his heart and soul into cultivating the croaking frog, and expects the handsome ninja frog to appear one day sooner.

Quacking and soaking frogs, uniqueness, free to change.

I remember that in Xiaozhi's previous life, someone put forward an argument. The reason why Xiaozhi's ninja frog in the original book can complete the bond evolution is because the characteristic of the ninja frog is the bond evolution. Of course, this is not groundless.

Because when the Sun Moon game first came out, the official distribution of a ninja frog with the characteristic of fetter evolution was also written in the official encyclopedia, so those people thought that the characteristic of Xiaozhi's ninja frog in the animation was also a fetter evolution.

To put it simply, animations, games, and real worldviews are all different, so it’s better not to be too obsessed with it. If there are still people who want to argue, then just treat it as the setting of this book.

"Quack ~" Back to the topic, although the training is hard, but the croaking frog is very happy, it should be said that it likes to exercise, and its personality is becoming more and more sophisticated.

So he and the fire-breathing dragon almost hit it off. Speaking of it, if you count the experiences in the original book, the two people's experiences are actually somewhat similar, and it seems that their personalities will be in harmony. It seems to be a matter of course.

Moreover, to be able to meet Xiaozhi and these like-minded partners of Xiaozhi, and to be able to walk on the strongest road together, Quacking Paowa lamented that he was really lucky more than once.

If you really want to say it, the path that Xiaozhi walks is actually similar to that of Shen'ao's rival, Shinji in the original book, but the only difference is that he will not force his Pokmon to undertake endless training without limit.

What he wants is for everyone to work together to reach the highest peak together.

202 Jockey Trial.

After several weeks of training, Xiaozhi has been able to complete a normal race on an armored rhino just like Serena, which means that he can pass the assessment.

The so-called armored rhinoceros jockey assessment, like many licenses, is actually not as difficult as imagined. The real difficulty lies in whether you can climb to the top on this road.

This point is actually the same whether it is an armored rhinoceros jockey or a Pokémon trainer.

Here, in order to obtain a license, Xiaozhi, Serena and Saki once again came to the venue in Miare City. Because the place is large enough, in addition to professional competitions, licenses are also provided here Options.

There is also a reason why Miare City is the closest to Asahi Town.

"Xiaozhi, come on, relax..." But before the competition started, Serena was already acting like Xiaozhi's mother, who was extremely nervous when her child was about to take the exam.

"Serena, I'm the one who's going to take the exam, why are you acting more nervous than me?" For Serena who already has a license, shouldn't Xiaozhi be relieved as a person who has experienced it?

"Of course, huh~" As long as it's about Xiao Zhi and you, of course I will be nervous...Of course Serena is too embarrassed to say such things, so she can only pout her mouth after speaking, like that It looks really cute.

"...Okay, Xiaozhi, the time is almost up, you go in first." Seeing that her daughter and future son-in-law seemed to be angry at her again, Saqi, who didn't want to eat dog food, hurriedly chased Xiaozhi away. Go in and take the exam.

At the same time, he also sighed that young people nowadays do not respect the old and respect the virtuous at all, and the dog food is not hesitated at all.Although if Xiaozhi knew Saqi's heartfelt feelings, he would definitely complain that his future mother-in-law is completely old-hearted, and he can't tell that she is a mother with a child.

"... Xiaozhi, come on..." Although she was a little dissatisfied with her mother's behavior, Serena also knew that time waited for no one, so she could only pray outside for Xiaozhi to be on the list once.

"I will try my best." After all, it is not a field I am familiar with, and I have only trained for a few weeks. It is like taking a crash course in the previous life. Xiaozhi actually dare not boast, and guarantees that he will pass the test 100%. .

"Okay~ okay~ I never saw you so nervous when you took the exam." And when Xiaozhi entered the exam room, Saqi couldn't help but touch his forehead when he saw his daughter.

Sure enough, the women's college didn't stay.

"Oh, isn't this Ms. Saqi? It's been a long time~~" And just after Xiaozhi entered the examination room, the Saqi mother and daughter who were waiting outside the examination room met acquaintances, but it didn't matter to Xiaozhi thing.

After entering the examination room, Xiaozhi looked at the candidates coming and going, and lamented the professionalism and rigor of the armored rhinoceros jockey. It really wasn't comparable to the programs provided to little girls like the Triple Crown Satellite Race, while looking for himself. seat.

As I said before, there are actually big problems with the format of the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament. Regarding this point, we will first analyze it from the basic format.

The competition system of the Triple Crown Satellite Competition is the same as the Gorgeous Competition, which is divided into two types: theme performances and free performances.

The first is the themed performance, such as making bouffle or using shapes and small items. There will be a variety of themes depending on the competition area. However, because the theme of the theme performance varies from place to place, all winning standards are also different.

Because the randomness is too large, basically the contestants can only adapt to the situation. It's a bit like some messy programs on talent shows that are specially created to make things difficult for artists.

Although the free show has a single competition system, it is better to say that this is the biggest failure of the Triple Crown Satellite Competition, because this competition system is actually very unfair to newcomers.

Because it is very popular.

Let me take a more extreme example. If the champion Karoni goes to participate in the Triple Crown Satellite Competition, even if the points of the current Queen Carlos and the future Queen Carlos Ai'er are combined, they will definitely not be able to win against Karoni. .

Because as I said before, the Triple Crown Satellite Competition ultimately depends not on the contestant's dancing skills, strength, or bond with Pokémon, but on how much popularity the contestant can gain.

And in terms of popularity, in Carlos' territory, who can beat the champion Carunai?

Although this example is a bit extreme, what I want to express is that according to the system of the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament, as long as the popularity is enough, even an absolute novice can definitely win lying down.

This is also the reason why Xiaozhi lacks interest in letting Serena participate in this competition.

Divider.

Any related technical examinations are actually similar. There are so-called written examinations and practical examinations. The same is true for armored rhinoceros riding, but of course the exams are all about armored rhinoceros riding.

As for the written test, since he had crammed up on the special knowledge of riding an armored rhino before, and the rest of the test questions were actually some basic knowledge, it wasn't too difficult for Xiaozhi.

Basically an extremely flat pass.

But the real test will start next. Even if you pass the written test, if you can't get a considerable score in the practical test, you will be eliminated. In other words, the practical test is the real focus.

By the way, the difficulty of the practical test is like heaven and earth compared to the written test.

In addition to basic physical fitness, the practical test includes interviews, armored rhino contact, and the most difficult riding test.

The interview is actually some basic interviews, asking about the candidate's mental state and other things, and the contact with the armored rhino is to test whether the candidate has the most basic understanding of the armored rhino.

But the most important thing is the riding test.

To put it simply, candidates who take part in the riding test must complete some simple body movements on the back of the armored rhino in the test to prove that they are an experienced rider of the armored rhino, and even ride the armored rhino to complete the race An official race distance.
