Chapter 122 The spring horse racing begins!

 Alliance calendar year 198, March 25, sunny, Wednesday.

Today is the day of the spring horse racing. After finishing his work in the ranch, Naoki specially brought a few Pokémon to watch and join in the fun.

By the way, let’s learn about the rules of the competition in advance to prepare for his future participation.

  The spring horse races are held on a vast pasture outside the town.

 When Zhi Shu arrived, a lot of people had gathered here.

 Trainers passing by, young couples coming to travel, boys coming to watch the race with their father, old people raising horses, etc.

The grassland is decorated with lights and colors, and the “Ziqin Town Spring Horse Racing Festival” ribbons are hung at the entrance. Not far away is a stall for purchasing horse racing tickets. Behind the stalls are various small prizes and props, all of which can be passed through To redeem horse racing tickets.

At this time, there were already many contestants on the racecourse.

Zhi Shu stood not far away and looked over there with envy on his face.

There, he saw the flaming horse with red flames burning all over its body. The flaming horse was well taken care of and looked particularly dazzling among the horses.

In addition to the normal form of the flame horse, there is also the Galar region form of the rainbow flame horse.

Its body is snow-white, and the manes on its head and tail are as misty and dreamy as colorful clouds.

In addition to the flaming horse, there are also thunder zebras with electric lights all over their bodies, a strong and powerful heavy mud draft horse, and a light brown and slightly fat hippo beast.

Um?

 It seems like something strange has been mixed in.

Isn’t Hippomon a hippopotamus Pokémon? Why can you also participate in horse racing? Hey!

At this time, Naoki heard the voice of the postman Alvin coming from behind.

 He turned his head and saw Alvin running towards him: “Hey! Naoki, are you here too?”

Zhi Shu nodded: “Yes! I’m done with the work in the ranch, so I came over to take a look.”

Ivan took Naoki to the ringside and grinned: “Come here and pick the player you are going to support later! Who are you going to support?”

 To be honest, Naoki hasn’t thought about it yet.

 But he has a question to ask.

Looking at the hippopotamus spitting sand, Naoki asked: “That kind of Pokémon can also participate in horse racing?”

Evan chuckled and explained: “Because there are too few horse Pokémon! Therefore, the town has stipulated that any Pokémon with a horse in its name can participate in the competition!”

 Naoki: “…”

Ivan added: “It’s pretty good now. Last year, there were contestants who brought Mo Haima to compete!”

 I’m sorry, he can’t imagine that.

  After all, Mohaima is a very small animal, and there is no way it can carry a human being who is much larger than it.

“Which player are you going to support?” Ivan asked.

Zhi Shu turned his attention to the group of horse Pokémon, and finally landed on a strong flaming horse.

“Well, that flaming horse looks like it has the potential to win the championship.”

Compared to the Flame Horse, the Thunder Zebra looks a bit too strong, and the Mud Horse’s size doesn’t look like a fast Pokémon at first glance.

As for the flaming horse in the form of the Galar region… its figure is also very strong.

Zhi Shu’s eyes wandered between the two horses, and he was a little undecided for a moment.

Ivan looked over there excitedly and said, “I plan to support that heavy mud draft horse! God, it looks so strong!”

 “You shouldn’t be able to run slowly if you have a big frame, right?” Zhi Shu was a little confused.

Looking at his look, Alvin probably understood what he was thinking, so he explained: “No, no, no, this is not the same as traditional horse racing!”

 Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ivan pointed to the heavy mud draft horse and continued with excited eyes:

“During horse racing, it is allowed to use Pokémon moves. Take the mud horse for example. As long as it uses earthquake while running, the other players will – bang! lose their balance and be dropped. later!”

Naoki: “???”

“Wait a minute, will the trainer ride on the horse during the competition?”

“Of course!” Ivan explained: “But the trainer will wear corresponding protective gear, which can isolate the impact of the Pokémon’s moves to the greatest extent. Even if it is hit, it will not cause much damage.”

 Naoki: “…”

Sure enough, everyone in this world has a super newbie physique, right?

 If this is the case, then he will have to reconsider the objects of support.

Earthquakes can help Mudwander close the speed gap with other horse Pokémon.

 Sand hippopotamus can raise dust and interfere with the sight of other players.

 Thunder Zebra also has a large number of disruptive moves.

 Thinking about it carefully, it seems more difficult to choose. However, the horse racing competition was about to start, so Alvin took Zhi Shu to buy horse racing tickets.

The owner of the stall is a bald man wearing glasses who looks very shrewd. There is a sign on the table in front of him, which states that one person can only purchase 200 horse racing tickets, and the price of one horse racing ticket It is 50 alliance coins.

 There are various props placed in the cupboard behind him.

 The most basic ones are various special elf balls, such as diving **** and lair balls, which all cost 50 horse racing coupons.

The more expensive items are props for Pokémon to carry, including electric **** that Pikachu can carry to increase attack and special attack, hard stones that increase the power of rock-type moves, and black glasses that increase the power of evil-type moves.

 These require 250 horse racing tickets.

In addition, there are also the evolution stones of various attributes that Naoki wants most.

He took a general glance and found that except for the Sun Stone and the Moon Stone, there were other ice, fire, water, and leaf mines.

 Their exchange price is 300 horse racing coupons.

“One horse racing ticket is 50, and 200 tickets are only 10,000. I bought it!”

Zhi Shu waved his hand and bought two hundred tickets from the boss.

 And Alvin also purchased two hundred copies.

At this time, a horn sounded, saying that the first round of competition was about to begin.

 The boss behind him reminded: “Do you two want to start placing bets?”

As he spoke, he took out a table recording the odds of each player.

 The largest one is the sand hippopotamus, reaching an exaggerated figure of 1/57.

The flame horse, the Galar flame horse, and the thunder zebra are all about the same, they are all 1/1.5.

 Horse drawn with heavy mud hovers around 1/3.

“It seems that most people are like me and choose to overpower the flaming horse!” Naoki thought.

Ivan on the side simply bet all his horse racing tickets on the heavy mud horse.

Zhishu hesitated for a while, but still chose to trust his own judgment and placed his bet on the divine flaming horse.

 After placing the bet, Naoki took Gu Lerton and followed Ivan to the auditorium.

Evan’s Pokémon is a small Mililion. He placed the sushi-style Mililion on his head and watched the game with him.

 The audience is gathering here one after another.

 All contestants at the racecourse also wore protective gear and rode on their horses.

With a whistle, all the horse Pokémon on the track ran out at the same time.

Looking at them galloping below, Naoki was extremely envious.

At this moment, he made a decision in his heart: one day, he will have a horse of his own!

Just like King Lei Guan’s ghost horse and snowstorm horse!

Speaking of ghost horses and snowstorm horses, Naoki suddenly thought that he might be able to go to the Galar region.

 Because the current situation of King Lei Guan is not very good. Not only has he been forgotten by the world, but his two horses have also run away.

The plot of Snowy Crown appeared in his mind. Perhaps he could bring King Lei Guan’s horse and people back together.

 Then he borrowed a horse from King Lei Guan to participate in the competition.

but…

The ranch is now in the development stage and cannot be separated from him. Once he leaves, the Pokémon will be hungry.

Moreover, even if he goes to the Crown Snowfield, he may not be able to find King Lei Guan.

But at this moment, Naoki suddenly thought of something. According to the legend of King Lei Guan, it is said that he can see everything in the past, present and future.

So the question is, if he did something beneficial to King Lei Guan in the Pardia region, could He see it?

For example, building an ancestral hall or something, this might be able to gain the favor of King Lei Guan. When he goes to the Galar region in the future, King Lei Guan will take the initiative to come out to see him.

Thinking of this, Naoki decided to go back and build an ancestral hall for King Leiguan in the pasture.

Don’t worry about whether King Lei Guan can really sense it, it doesn’t cost any money to believe it anyway.

  Small Theater “The Diary of King Lei Guan”

On the first day, Lone Sen met the only believer in the world and took a peek at what kind of person he was.

On the twentieth day, Gu saw that the believer had built an ancestral hall for Gu to worship him. He was deeply moved and expected that the believer would come and look for him.

On the nth day, the believer hadn’t come yet and missed him.

Day n+1, O believer! come quickly! Help the orphan grow radishes, and he wants to use the radishes to hang his beloved horse.

Day n+1+18, O my believers! Why haven’t you come to seek loneliness yet?
