Lilligant I slept for one round in the middle and my energy is still good;
Shen Qi didn't feel tired either. I did a lot of heavy driving before the crossing, and it was common to drive for 8 hours at night.
Staying at the booked Hotel, a standard twin room, the usual price is only 150b. Recently, because Doll Town held a competition, the room price has increased by 100b.
"It's just a Regular Race, the price increase is too much."
'Doll Town Well, it's a small place and there aren't many big events a year. Of course Regular Race is taken seriously.'
The price of the guest room has increased, but the layout is pretty good, with a small balcony that can see the street outside.
Lilligant and Chansey were holding on to the guardrail and looking down, exclaiming from time to time.
The name is Doll Town, and the style is of course related to dolls.
As night falls, Pokémon-themed doll street lights can be seen from time to time in the streets.
'Jigglypuff street light!'
'Hahahaha, that's the Psyduck street light over there!'
'Why are there Mightyena street lights? It's so scary.'
Hearing this, Shen Qi had to say a few words for Mutt. Obviously Mutt is very handsome.
In addition to Pokémon style street lamps, there are also stuffed toys, Air Balloon. Doll Town's main economic pillar is probably like this.
Ordering a large bowl of ramen and two plates with Pokémon food, Shen Qi chatted with the owner of the corner shop.
"Doll Town is so lively, is it because of Regular Race?"
The topic he knowingly asked was exactly what the boss wanted. Regular Race brought rare customer flow and also brought excess income to the store.
It was just before 16:00 in the afternoon, and it was far from dinner time. Counting Shen Qi, there were already four or five tables of customers in the store.
"Gee, it would be great if we could hold more competitions."
The shopkeeper smiled cheerfully, and the street was filled with an atmosphere of joy.
It can be seen from the rewards that the grade of this Regular Race is not high.
The first place reward is only 20,000 b, plus the additional tire prize, the total value is worth 30,000 b.
Therefore, the competition attracts at most Fuchsia City and some nearby citizens, which can already make Doll Town feel a festive atmosphere.
Shen Qi continued to inquire along the topic.
"Organizers doesn't seem to be a local company. Did they have any special thoughts in choosing Doll Town Falling Bear Ravine?"
After successful registration, Lilligant obtained the competition information provided by Organizers to Driver.
I only know that the tracks are chosen at Doll Town and Falling Bear Ravine, the length of a single lap is 33 kilometers, and the outcome is determined by two laps.
"Guest, is this your first time here?"
"Yeah."
"Hey, the Falling Bear Ravine next to our Doll Town is awesome."
Hearing this name, Shen Qi thought that the terrain was so dangerous that even a bear would accidentally slip and fall.
"A very dangerous place?"
"How could it be?" The shop owner shook his head repeatedly, "The track must be difficult, but it won't be a joke with Driver's life."
"Then...Falling Bear Ravine..."
Falling Bear Ravine There are many natural pools, and because the terrain is low-lying and full of water vapor, it rains whenever it rains.
"There are many Teddiursa, Zigzagoon and the like living in the mountains and forests. They are often dizzy due to the rain and cannot find anything to eat, so they wait on the roadside to be fed."
These bears Pokémon were soaked in water and looked miserable, so the corresponding place is named: Falling Bear Ravine
"Ah this..."
Shen Qi How can I find the origin of the terrain name so embarrassingly?
However, we have collected some information about the track.
After Organizers passed the official approval and determined the track, the related Mountain Road was banned from traffic before the event was hosted.
The biggest difference between Regular Race and Off-Road Racing running on Professional Driver is that after the road is closed, Organizers will modify the route through the Pokémon skills, and Driver, which is familiar with Mountain Road, cannot run based on experience.
After the race, Organizers will use the Pokémon skill to restore the track to its original state without damaging the natural environment as much as possible.
From the shop owner, Shen Qi at least knew that the track was very humid and extra attention had to be paid to tires and brakes.
Chapter 96 The boy in the doll suit
Participating in the competition for the first time, Shen Qi tossed and turned on a strange bed in the guest room and didn't sleep well all night.
Lilligant just choose to score a goal and rest, there won't be so much trouble.
On the other hand, Chansey was fast asleep on the other bed, making weird snoring sounds of "Lucky~~~" and "Jili Lucky~~~~".
The next day Shen Qi wandered around for half a day, and the information he got was basically insignificant. At most, he could see the original appearance of the road from the satellite Map, which was not enough.
This feeling is like that of a candidate the day before a major exam, just practice... and there is nothing to practice, so I hang around in various community chat groups and gather gossip.
It wasn't until the red clouds filled the sky that Shen Qi yawned and strolled back.
I didn't sleep well last night. Today I went shopping for half of Doll Town. If I don't have Harvest, I won't have Harvest. At least I will sleep very soundly tonight due to fatigue.
When you buy a snack similar to Shouzhua Bing from a roadside stall for dinner, you can see that the stuffing rolled in the middle is sprinkled with colorful beans and flower petals.
These seasonings will not conflict with the taste of the food itself. They are very common on Doll Town's dishes and are mainly used to enhance the visual color effect.
Just like this town whose main economic pillar is dolls, it is full of bright fairy tale colors such as pink, pink and blue.
Shen Qi also bought snacks for Pokémon. Lilligant stood by the small fountain pool and looked at the fish in the water.
Chansey wanted to split a goldfish with her bare hands, saying it was a survival stunt she performed to get food while practicing in the wild, but was decisively stopped by Lilligant.
There is a Pokémon beverage hall opposite the square, which is similar to the cat cafe and rabbit Coffee Shop Shen Qi saw before traveling through time.
There are many small and cute Pokémon in the beverage hall. Guests can enter and play with Pokémon, and they are charged 20b per hour.
The basic price is not high, and the real profit points are the drinks, snacks and snacks fed to Pokémon.
Through the transparent floor-to-ceiling display window, you can see Sentret, Zigzagoon and other common home door Pokémon, as well as Psyduck and Pichu that are not so easy to catch.
It has to be said that this type of store has a good positioning and its operation strategy is flexible enough.
The price of 20b per hour is affordable for most children. They go in in groups of twos and threes with pocket money. Even if they don't buy drinks or snacks, it brings a steady stream of popularity to the store.
Especially the recent Regular Race has made the Doll Town atmosphere lively and active. The beverage hall has arranged additional staff wearing Wigglytuff doll costumes to distribute free Pokémon Air Balloon to the children passing by.
"It's really not easy."
Although the owner of the beverage hall does not need to teach Pokémon fighting skills, he still has to raise them beautifully and have balanced nutrition so that they can have smooth fur and shiny and elastic skin.
This is a significant cost.
What was even more difficult was the staff member wearing a large Wigglytuff tube puppet costume.
It's summer vacation now... The weather forecast today indicates that the maximum temperature of Doll Town is 31 degrees. Unless the doll suit has its own air conditioner, it will be extremely hot.
When Shen Qi went out in the morning, the staff in doll costumes were already handing out Air Balloon. Now that the sun was setting, he finally filled up the last Seel Air Balloon he took out from the box and gave it to the children passing by.
"You've worked hard today, you can get off work early, send your clothes to be washed, and wear another set tomorrow."
The owner of the beverage hall said something to the staff in the doll clothes. Hearing this, there was no one to change shifts with him. He had been wearing cotton clothes all day on a hot day.
Send the sweat-soaked clothes to the laundry, and wear other doll costumes to continue drying tomorrow.
"Pfft, ha, ssssssss--"
Taking off his hood, the boy with a slightly immature face breathed heavily.
The air in the evening was still hot and dry, but he seemed to be drinking a delicious cold drink.
"Don't stand in front of the store, go to the back and change clothes."
The owner of the cold drink hall reminded me that the boy had been sweating profusely and suffocating in the doll suit for a whole day. He had to replenish water in time to avoid fainting, but the sour smell could be carried by the wind for more than ten meters, affecting the business of the store.
Water Spout By the pool, Poliwag, who was chatting with Lilligant, heard the greeting from Pokémon Trainer and went home for dinner.
Lilligant patted Skirt and stood up, approaching Shen Qi.
'Let's go back to the hotel and rest, we have a game tomorrow.'
"Wait..."
Shen Qi stared intently at the boy who had taken off his doll suit. You could see that he was completely wet with sweat from beginning to end. His skin had even wrinkles due to being soaked in water for too long, and his complexion was quite pale.
"Lilligant, that person... don't you think he looks familiar?"
'Hmm... I don't know you.'
After looking up and down several times, Lilligant still shook his head to express unfamiliarity.
"Our Pokémon High School student, Xiao Ming."
'I heard the name, but I don't recognize it...'
Lilligant rarely comes into contact with students, and when he is not driving, he basically spends time in Behind Pokémon High School's wild areas.
Jili!
Chansey has an impression. She met Chunhe's family the night she rescued Berry Tian.
"Xiao Ming's face was covered in mud that night, I'm really lucky you could recognize it."
But...
Yesterday, Xiao Chun, who was waiting for the ferry at Island 2 Pier, who was working as a porter, said that Xiao Ming was spotted by Club of Fuchsia City and became an intern at a certain Pokémon Battle Club.
The topic of Xiao Ming was also discussed in the social software class group. Everyone had the same impression and was very envious.
In fact...
The boy who was dragging his body tiredly felt something in his heart. He felt that there was a person standing beside him with two Pokémon, so he cast his gaze.
Then, Xiao Ming's eyes became panicked, and he took steps to run away, but because the lower half of his body was still wearing a large doll suit, he tripped and fell to the ground.
"Hey--why are you so nervous!"
