Less than a minute into the game, the leading group has already taken shape.
The ones at the front are four Pokémon.
Ponyta for Fuko, Absol for Chihaya, Luxray for Yushu, and Gogoat for Ramos.
The speed of these four Pokémon is obviously a level higher than other contestants.
Ponyta As a horse Pokémon, it is good at running. Its four hooves fly like a flowing flame.
Absol is known as the "disaster beast". Legend has it that it can predict disasters and rush to the scene quickly to deliver the news. It can't do anything if it can't run fast.
It goes without saying that Luxray is fast. Before Combusken had fully grown up, Luxray was the fastest among Yushu and Pokémon.
Gogoat seems not as sharp as the first three, but its pace is steady and persistent, and it has been following closely.
The four Pokémon are competing for each other, and no one is willing to fall behind by even half a point.
And about not far behind them, the second echelon was also competing fiercely.
Leading the pack are Mightyena of Xiaochun and Stoutland of Unova Rancher.
It's a coincidence that as Pokémon is a dog, these two seem to be hard-wired to deal with.
"Ouch!"
Mightyena made a low growling sound in its throat, seeming to warn Stoutland to stay away from it.
"Woof!"
Stoutland is the equivalent of Arcanine in Unova. Naturally, he was not to be outdone. He bared his teeth and responded with a series of barks from Rage.
Xiaochun grabbed Mightyena's neck, his face turned pale. "Stop making trouble! Concentrate on running! We are here to compete, not to fight!"
Miss Aili of Unova also looked helpless and pulled Stoutland's reins hard. "Be honest with me! Is this the time for a quarrel? If you lose the game, don't even think about eating snacks tonight!"
However, the two dogs did not listen to their owners at all and continued to compete with each other Own Tempo.
Looking back, Whitney and Miltank were carrying her, running with a squeaking sound.
Although Miltank is bulky, it is not slow when running.
"Come on Miltank! We can definitely catch them."
Whitney was riding on the shoulders of Miltank, waving his fists excitedly.
Miltank made a helpless sound Growl.
It also wants to chase, but can its two legs compare with others' four legs?
Aren't you making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger?
But to be honest, because the Miltank level of Whitney is indeed not low, its speed is not too slow.
Although they cannot catch up with those in front, many players are still among the best.
The competitors riding Stantler and Piloswine in the back, their Pokémon is slightly inferior, plus they are too heavy and lack explosive power, they can only watch the team in front of them running further and further away.
As for the competitor riding Persian... His Persian stopped to lick its paws after less than two hundred meters.
"Get up Persian, this is just the beginning!"
Persian glanced at him lazily, slapped him Yawn, and then continued to lick his paws.
He is a noble cat, but the stupid poop scavenger really thinks of himself as a person? How can a noble cat do a rough job like running?
The man. "..."
Did I choose the wrong Pokémon? If I had known better, I should have grabbed a Tauros to ride!
One-third of the way through the race, the situation of the leading group began to change.
Ponyta and Absol gradually occupied the top two positions. The distance between them was always about half a body length, and the competition was extremely fierce.
Gogoat followed closely behind, maintaining a stable rhythm, ranking third.
Luxray is slightly behind by half a position, ranking fourth.
Yushu was riding on the back of Luxray, feeling the strong wind blowing in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He is waiting for the right time.
In fact, Luxray's explosive power is much more terrifying than it appears on the surface. As long as he wants, he can speed up Luxray to surpass the previous ones at any time.
But he didn't do that.
Exposing your full strength too early will only make your opponent respond in advance. It is better to hide your weakness first and wait until the critical moment to make a surprise move.
No, Ponyta and Absol at the front began to have conflicts.
The cause was that when Ponyta was running side by side, a cluster of sparks splashed into Absol's face.
Absol felt pain and made a low sound of Rage.
Fuko quickly apologized. "Sorry, sorry, my Ponyta was too excited and couldn't control it. He didn't mean it!"
A dangerous light flashed in Chihaya's eyes. "It doesn't matter, I'll also make my Absol excited.
As soon as he finished speaking, Absol suddenly made a sharp turn, and the sharp sickle tail swept towards Ponyta's front legs!
Ponyta reacted extremely quickly and raised his front hooves suddenly, barely dodging the blow.
But it also lost its balance, staggered two steps, and slowed down significantly.
"You!" Fuko's face changed.
Chihaya raised his eyebrows:
"What? Only your Ponyta is allowed to set fire, but my Absol is not allowed to use a knife?"
Fuko is not someone to be bullied either.
"Ponyta! We can't lose either!"
Ponyta opened his mouth, and a fiery Flamethrower came out, heading straight for Absol's face!
"Get out of the way!" Chihaya shouted.
Absol swayed and dodged the fire attack at an extremely tricky angle.
But Ponyta obviously didn't intend to stop there, and another series of flames came from Spit Up, forcing Absol to dodge left and right, and his speed was affected again.
This competition is not purely a running competition, it has always been possible to attack.
Chihaya's eyes flashed coldly:
"Absol, we are coming too!"
Absol uses Razor Wind to attack, and the small flame releases Fire Spin to resolve it.
The onlookers let out a burst of exclamations of surprise.
"Good guy, this is not a race, this is clearly a fight!"
"It's so exciting! This is the competition!"
"Ponyta Come on!!"
"Absol Come on!"
There were supporters on both sides cheering and cheering, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
Just when Ponyta and Absol were fighting fiercely, Ramos's Gogoat passed them quietly and firmly occupied the first position.
Ramos stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Young man, you just can't keep calm."
A race is a race, what kind of fight is there?
Isn't this an advantage for an old man like him?
Yushu looked at this scene and almost laughed out loud.
Old man, this is a typical case of the snipe and the clam competing for the fishermen's profit.
Ponyta and Absol fought passionately, but Gogoat took advantage of them.
But... since you are all busy fighting, I won't be polite.
Yushu whispered:
"Luxray, are you ready?"
Luxray let out a deep roar, his eyes flashing with golden light.
"Then... let them see what real speed is."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luxray's body suddenly burst out with dazzling golden Spark!
Electricity jumped between its hairs, making a crackling sound.
Charge!
Use electric current to stimulate the body, bursting out at astonishing speeds in a short period of time.
Luxray's speed suddenly increased, like a golden lightning. In the blink of an eye, it surpassed Ponyta and Absol who were fighting, and chased Gogoat in front!
"What?!"
"That Luxray actually has this hand hidden in it!"
"Damn it, this speed is too ridiculous!"
Before Fuko and Chihaya could react, Luxray had already surpassed them and ran to Gogoat.
Wait! When did Gogoat run to the front!!
Ramos glanced back, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. "Interesting."
Gogoat felt the threat behind him and no longer retained his strength. A layer of green light appeared on his four hooves, which was the wave of Grass-type Energy.
But the speed of Luxray is still improving.
The current is getting denser and denser, and the golden light is getting more and more dazzling.
"Not enough, Wild Charge!"
Luxray let out a thundering roar, and the electricity in his body surged again!
Wild Charge! Speed up!
This time, Luxray directly exceeded Gogoat.
Ramos turned his head and looked at Yushu who was running alongside him. "Yushu boy, you have a moment."
Yushu grinned. "Ramos, I accept it."
Ramos changed the subject. "But it's not that easy to win against me."
Gogoat let out a low cry, and the green light under his feet suddenly became a little stronger.
Grassy Glide!
Its speed increased again, and the distance between it and Luxray was widened again.
Yushu raised his eyebrows.
This old man really does have a trump card.
But it doesn't matter, he has it too.
"Luxray! Spark! Triple stack!"
The hair on Luxray's body stood up from root to root, and electric current swam across its body surface like a snake.
Whoosh!
A golden lightning flashed across the sky!
Everyone just felt like their eyes were blurred. When they came back to their senses, Luxray had already crossed the finish line!
"First place!!!"
Howard announced, "Yushu player from Sinnoh Region and his Luxray won the championship of this racing competition!"
"That's awesome!"
"The speed of that Luxray is simply incredible!"
"I didn't even see how it crossed the line!"
The audience burst into thunderous cheers.
Yushu jumped off Luxray's back and patted its head. "Well done."
A few seconds later, Gogoat of Ramos also crossed the finish line and won second place.
Next came Whitney and Miltank. Who would have thought that this bulky-looking big guy actually won the third place, which surprised many people.
As for Ponyta and Absol... these two lost too much time due to fighting on the road, and in the end they only finished fifth and sixth.
The fourth is Stoutland.
Sure enough, not everyone can be a police dog.
Even on the playing field, the Guts and endurance of police dogs far exceed that of other dogs.
"Hmph, if your Ponyta hadn't made the first move, my Absol would definitely have taken first place!"
"Oh, it sounds like your Absol didn't take action. If it hadn't used its tail to sneak attack, my Ponyta wouldn't have fought back!"
Fuko and Chihaya snorted at the same time, turned their heads away from each other, and thought at the same time.
If it weren't for this person! She would be number one!
That's enough Pokémon food for Snorlax to eat for a month!
