Here is Gloria who is running behind and listening to the communication headset. Occasionally, Commentator can tell in advance what the next level will be through Commentator's explanation.
However, the advantages are limited. The explanation of the level in the communication headset will be randomly delayed by 1-3 minutes, making it impossible to predict the distance. Moreover, if you are too far behind, the level you hear may not necessarily be the next level you will face.
After turning the corner, Lilligant performed unpretentious and routine operations, exiting the corner at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour.
The first lap was mostly like this. No one was familiar with the track, and Shen Qi did not dare to rashly improve the performance of the car after the blind bend.
After exiting the corner, the field of view is wide, and you can see the car body of Flower in Water 40 meters away is constantly undulating, and it has already passed half of the uneven road of Rock.
Text lit up on the roof of the car, which was Sensing Film's reminder that Poliwrath or his Co-driver was about to use a skill that would have a large-scale effect.
Rain Dance!
"This is too much..."
Poliwrath itself may have Ability, Swift Swim or Water Absorb related to the sky, but it is better not to run with full power on the first lap.
The speed of Flower in Water on the bumpy Rock road section does not exceed 50 kilometers per hour. The purpose of driving "Rain Dance" is actually to interfere!
Interfering with the car behind!
The Drizzle effect formed by Water Energy will also cause water accumulation and moisture on the ground, making the tires prone to slipping.
But after all, it is the effect generated by the skill. After Poliwrath is far away or the skill duration expires, the accumulated water formed by "Rain Dance" will quickly turn into the natural state of Infinity Energy and escape into the air.
The distance between Servine and Pursuit is within 10 meters, and Primeape is also about 10 meters behind.
By the time their car passed the Rock road section, the water caused by the skill had not dissipated, and they still had to worry about tire slippage and had to slow down.
With "Rain Dance" used properly on the terrain, Poliwrath opened a gap of more than 20 meters with the second place Servine.
It can be seen that the strength of Poliwrath is reflected in all aspects, including steady driving skills, rich application of skills, and relatively good car performance.
Servine is actually similar to Lilligant. It doesn't have many fancy skills and mainly relies on the "growth" gain. It just maintains the second place with delicate driving, which is really impressive.
Moreover, Servine is only in the second stage of evolution and has not yet evolved into its final form. It was just sent by Erika to compete and gain experience, and will become stronger in the future.
"Viewers!"
The words of Commentator came from the earphones, "The ranking of the first echelon has changed. Primeape has moved into second place! It has surpassed Servine!"
"So savage, such a wild running style!"
At the first corner after exiting the checkpoint, the Racing driven by Primeape plunged straight into the center of the corner at a rough angle. The tire and chassis hit the raised Rock. The right side of the car was bounced up to nearly 45 degrees, and the right wheel flew into the air.
Just like what Commentator said, he created a "Blade Overtake" with only two wheels on the left side in a rough way, which scared Servine so much that he ran away.
The operation of Primeape is indeed rough, and it is not completely brainless. Before predicting that the wheel will hit the raised rock, the green Barrier Barrier has already covered it.
Normal-type Skill: Protect
A powerful defensive skill that is extremely difficult to master. If you use the Barrier effect of "Protect" to directly counter Tackle, the car will suffer subsequent shocks and subversions at most, which is also a confidence in the toughness of the car body structure.
"What a lifeless operation..."
Shen Qi still has time to complain, but Lilligant really doesn't have the slightest thought.
The three Racings in front are all 10 meters away, and the Racing behind 5th Place has been holding on tight.
The psychological pressure of being closely followed by your competitors and having no hope of surpassing you can be imagined.
"It's okay, we will definitely break through the Rock level faster than Primeape and Servine."
The distance behind was quite far, and the ground was almost dry when Flower Crown entered the level.
There is basically no hope of overtaking in this game. It is a defensive battle, or a defensive battle.
Protect's current position until the end of the game.
Unable to move forward, and having to prevent the car behind from overtaking me, the atmosphere gradually made me anxious and depressed.
Chapter 204 Stabilized!
"Lilligant! Hold still!"
Shen Qi comforts his own Pokémon's emotions.
This game is really the most psychologically stressful since I partnered with Lilligant.
The Servine in front of 3rd Place is better than Lilligant in terms of driving skills and car performance, and the distance is always maintained at about 30 meters.
After passing the starting line and entering the second lap, there was basically no confrontation between the first echelon.
Flower in Water driven by Poliwrath led all the way, but Primeape overtook Servine once, and then the position was maintained.
Lilligant is in the 4th position from beginning to end, followed by other T3-class driver alternately occupying the position of 5th Place.
There is no hope of improving the ranking, and Racing, who is very capable, is chasing after him, so Shen Qi can feel a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, the one in Poké Ball is Chansey. I have no feelings for Racing and I don't know the situation outside. The skills she releases can be used stably without being affected at all.
Lilligant used "Growth" once, and Skill Pathways was obviously much more turbulent than normal.
Skill Proficiency has reached 85%. Logically speaking, it should be easy to cast. However, when she uses "Growth", Mental Concentration drops a bit, which is obviously due to too much pressure.
If you accidentally slip two people down, you can go home after finishing the race.
In the final analysis, Lilligant's best result was only 9th place in T3-class's competition with Main Race. There was some luck involved, plus it had been a long time since he ran a major competition, so the competitive situation was not as good as before.
Even so, Shen Qi still didn't say much. While calming Lilligant's mentality, Energy Coordination concentrated on Energy Coordination.
"Lilligant, we think the position of Protect is actually not difficult. Anyway, we can't catch up with Servine in front, which means there is no obstacle in front, so we can run freely."
This point mentioned by Shen Qi is indeed a benefit. Another good thing is that Lilligant is easier to coax.
When Mental Concentration and Mental Health Index slide down, Shen Qi only needs a little comfort or two, and the value will quickly go back up.
Taking advantage of this excessive dependence can at least ensure that Lilligant's mentality will not be too bad. The price is that Shen Qi's extra mental load will be very heavy.
There is no way... the most important thing is to stabilize your own Pokémon.
Shen Qi was unable to be distracted and had already turned off the communication headset.
At this time, the game entered the second half of the second lap. Flower Crown was still at 4th Place. We could already see the hope of successfully advancing, but we couldn't be careless.
Racing behind is following very closely, and the distance from 5th Place to the 8th place will not exceed 20 meters.
Once overtaken by a Racing, it is possible to be overtaken continuously, especially since Lilligant, as the direct driver, has endured psychological pressure for so long.
"Huh?"
Shen Qi noticed that 5th Place behind him had changed his car.
In fact, the competition for the position of 5th Place is quite fierce. I have alternated with many Racing along the way, but the one in the rearview mirror... I have never been on 5th Place before.
Wind Horse!
Racing, Wind Horse of Miracle Company.
In the game, there is a company that sells a bicycle for 1 million, and players can get the bicycle for free by using the redemption coupon.
The cars produced by Miracle Company are not considered high-end in the industry, but are relatively affordable and known for their high cost performance.
Among the Driver in the White Cape group, only one is driving Wind Horse.
Cacturne!
Except Poliwrath, Primeape, the last remaining T2 Driver.
Qualifying Race only reached 8th place. Now that the game is coming to an end, Cacturne has overtaken it to 5th place.
When I turned on the communication headset before, Shen Qi didn't hear Commentator click on Cacturne's name at all, which shows that he didn't make any eye-catching maneuvers, and the overtaking progress was also very slow, and he arrived at the current position step by step.
"Lilligant..."
Shen Qi said, "Cacturne is coming up."
Even if there is no prompt, Lilligant will always find it when checking the rearview mirror.
Compared with other visual impacts produced by personal discovery, it is not as direct as Shen Qi.
Sure enough, Lilligant or the hands on the steering wheel became stiffer again.
Cacturne's own T2 level strength is there. From the beginning of the competition to now, he has improved so many rankings. Shen Qi can feel the Pressure he brings.
It's okay when running on regular routes. There is no absolute difference in performance, but every time you go through a corner, you can feel that the distance between Wind Horse is getting closer.
The condition and skills of Cacturne are obviously better than that of Lilligant. Each corner is a little more advanced, and it can be overtaken at a certain distance.
"Lilligant, don't panic, hold on..."
Shen Qi I don't know what to say. I was really surpassed and have nothing to say. The opponent's strength is simply superior to ours.
The comfort now seems a bit pale. Mental Health Index of Lilligant has 83% left, and Mental Concentration has only 89%.
For Driver in competition, this is unqualified.
The shouts from the loudspeaker came from the front, and the cheers from the audience could be heard directly.
There is no doubt that the first one to cross the line is Poliwrath.
Qualifying Race has been leading the competition from the official competition, and there is a clear gap in strength between Qualifying Race and other Driver.
The second place is Primeape, about 5 seconds behind, followed by Servine.
The top three did not change after entering lap 2.
Lilligant remains unchanged from beginning to end.
"The fourth person crossing the line is--Flower Crown!"
With the shout of Commentator, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Lilligant's eyes were a little confused as he drove across the finish line. Mental Concentration dropped to 60% and was in a trance.
Not to mention Lilligant, Shen Qi also found it baffling.
Cacturne didn't catch up!?
At the last corner before crossing the line, the front of Wind Horse was only 1 meter away from Flower Crown.
At that time, the operation of Lilligant was a little deformed and the bending was very rough. With the condition and strength of Cacturne, it can definitely surpass it.
But he did not overtake, but stabilized the position of 5th Place and reached the finish line.
"Lilligant, Lilligant! We have advanced, please stop the car."
