'Don't scare me.'
"Watch that TV station."
Through the perennial mist, you can see the main building of Kanto Radio Station, which looks like a tower.
'What happened to the radio?'
You can see Kanto Radio Station at the front left of the track, and Lilligant couldn't help but raise your eyes several times.
"Kanto Radio Station That tower was originally a tower of ashes."
'Yeah--'
Flower Crown shook slightly, and Lilligant freed up his hand to pat Shen Qi on the shoulder.
'Why are you scaring me all of a sudden!'
"Really..."
Calling it a pagoda of ashes is a bit inaccurate at best, but the general meaning is pretty much the same.
In the earliest red, green and blue version, the tower where Lavender Town stores the spiritual place of Pokémon became Kanto Radio Station in the gold/silver version.
Note that it was remodeled, and "Pokémon Tower" was actually changed to Kanto Radio Station.
As for the things inside that are not known to be ashes or memorial tablets, they have been moved to another underground place called Soul House/House of Memories. There is no Pokémon or Pokémon Trainer inside, and players can only meet Old Man Fuji.
'Don't distract me by saying weird things!'
Not only was Lilligant distracted, but the cars behind were also disturbed.
Because the direction of Astonish, Lilligant's Racing suddenly became unstable, the car body swayed, startling the car behind it, and suddenly slowed down and swayed slightly.
Later, Maractus also became wary...
Abnormality feeling and strange shaking were transmitted in the car array.
Chapter 118 Lavender Town Vision
Seeing Abnormality in the rear view mirror, Shen Qi smiled faintly, Unnerve relaxed a little, and quickly focused his attention again.
The Racing in the first echelon are almost out of the Lavender Town section. Once they get out of the foggy town road, they will speed up.
Clefairy and three other cars form the first echelon. Logically speaking, Shen Qi and Lilligant are ranked fifth.
But... there is also Rose Champagne who has mysteriously disappeared.
What's going on?
There is clearly Drone following me in the sky, why haven't I heard any news from Rose Champagne for so long?
Not only the news about Rose Champagne, but also the communication headset Public Channel has not had commentary audio for a long time.
"It's... a special phenomenon of Lavender Town!"
Shen Qi recalled one of the tips Organizers gave to the players before Regular Race started.
Lavender Town is in a strange situation, sometimes the signal is suddenly lost.
Drone flies high and has less impact. Racing may lose contact temporarily, but just follow the track markings on the roadside.
'Yeah--'
Lilligant exclaimed again, startling Shen Qi who was doing Energy Coordination.
Flower Crown's speed slowed down significantly. Shen Qi didn't need to ask questions. After turning the corner, a dark red Racing appeared about 40 meters ahead.
Rose Champagne!
The driving track is shaky, and the speed will definitely not exceed 20 kilometers per hour, so it may not be able to outrun the electric bicycle.
It's scary enough. If Rose Champagne breaks down, it can stop on the side of the road. There is no need to continue racing at this speed.
The strange signs and the Lavender Town environment made Shen Qi feel chills running down his spine.
Flower Crown's speed dropped to 40 kilometers per hour unknowingly. Racing behind him felt something was wrong, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to overtake. He could see the car leaning to the right in the rearview mirror and wanted to speed up.
After leaning to the right, Rose Champagne could be seen from the car behind him. He observed it for a while... and then shrank directly behind Flower Crown.
"Coward!"
Shen Qi cursed secretly, "Lilligant, let's go. If we continue, Vermilion City will lose at least two or three thousand dollars this time!"
Thinking of losing money, Lilligant suddenly had Scrappy, swung the front of the car and accelerated to overtake.
As the speed of the vehicle approached, Lilligant's body trembled more and more.
'Shen Qi... I'm afraid... Ah!!! Why are you touching my legs!'
"Help divert your attention." Shen Qi's eyes were full of justice, "Quick, Protect!"
Normal-type skill "Protect" creates powerful Barrier defensive attacks.
Previously, Rose Champagne jumped up on continuous mounds, and one of the methods to prevent damage to the car body was "Protect".
This skill... is still Lilligant's worry.
If there had been a highly skilled "Protect" back then, Lilligant might have been able to keep its own Rich Girl.
So...
This time, I must protect my Pokémon Trainer!
'Shen Qi!'
"I know, I'm ready Energy Coordination!"
'No, take your hands off my legs--'
"This is to increase the Synchronize rate. The wired network is more stable than the wireless network."
There is no way to talk nonsense with Shen Qi, Flower Crown is almost on par with Rose Champagne.
Protect!
When casting the skill, Lilligant felt stable skill fluctuations coming from Shen Qi, which strengthened and deepened the unstable "Protect" veins.
The so-so Barrier spawned on the side of Flower Crown, protecting the car body and quickly passed Rose Champagne.
Lilligant didn't dare to look into the next door Racing, so he just drove with all his strength.
Shen Qi boldly took a look inside, Espeon's Pet Carrier was still there, and he didn't know what was going on inside;
Wobbuffet is leaning forward, holding the steering wheel with one hand from the passenger seat with his blue ribbon-shaped arm!
It's so weird, the scene is so weird.
The previous performance of Rose Champagne could never be driven like this by Wobbuffet.
'How's it going inside?'
Lilligant, who didn't dare to look around, cautiously communicated with his soul.
"Don't ask, hurry up and walk!"
Lilligant trembled and quickly speeded up.
After passing Rose Champagne, the route changed away from Lavender Town. The fog gradually faded and the road became a smooth conventional road.
Enable [Racing Energy], and the speed of Flower Crown will increase to a higher level.
Shen Qi pays attention to the rearview mirror, and is also cautious when a car behind passes Rose Champagne.
Maractus even opened a small sun to boost his courage.
The headset returns to normal.
"The first echelon is completely gone Lavender Town!"
At this time, the leading Clefairy was not far away from Lavender Town. Shen Qi realized that their leading distance was limited.
Before entering Lavender Town, Rose Champagne had grabbed the leading position. It is conceivable that due to the strange environment and the abnormal behavior of Rose Champagne, other Racing in the first echelon also slowed down and overtook extremely cautiously, so the distance was not large.
Drone aerial photography, the audience witnessed the whole process on the big screen with a little lag.
Overtaking multiple times should have been a thrilling scene, but the atmosphere in the auditorium of tens of thousands of people was stagnant, and the breathing was quite restricted and unsmooth.
"What's going on?"
"That Class A Car...Rose Champagne is so weird after entering Lavender Town."
"There is Lavender Town..."
"Shh! Stop talking nonsense!"
Soon, Commentator's explanation came, "Viewers, please don't worry, commentator Pidgey has contacted the players in Rose Champagne, Co-driver Wobbuffet said there is no problem."
Having said that, the driving situation of Rose Champagne is full of problems no matter how you look at it.
The car that was supposed to be leading the pack fell to the back of the pack and was ranked 13th.
Racings passed one after another from the window. Inside Rose Champagne, Espeon curled up in Pet Carrier and trembled slightly.
Her expression showed anger, unwillingness, and fear.
Espeon was driving Racing through Psychic type. He was also mentally unstable, and Confusion was even more unreliable than his real hands and feet.
'How was it?'
In the passenger seat, Wobbuffet's hands were holding the steering wheel to prevent Racing from driving off the road.
'Don't worry!' Espeon yelled stubbornly, 'Why don't you directly control the direction and just use one hand to correct me?!'
'Because I believe in you, and His Highness Sabrina also believes in you.'
BuEr...
Psychic type The more powerful it is, the keener its perception.
Espeon... very afraid of spooky and ghost-related smells.
Not only is Ghost-type restraining Psychic-type, Espeon is afraid of Ghost-type Infinity Energy from the bottom of his heart.
Not to mention trying to find a way to deal with Ghost-type Pokémon, as long as Espeon feels this kind of Infinity Energy, he will be so frightened that his body will not obey his orders, and he will curl up and tremble.
'It's okay.' Wobbuffet comforted, 'You didn't give up, you worked very hard.'
