Chapter 60: Pokémon Triathlon? Meet Masamune Again!
On the way to Shuimai City, Qianxue followed an aunt in a breeding animal to try to make energy cubes, just like Xiao Yao's scene at that time, and finally brought it to Ah Peng to let him taste what it tasted like.
"Or... Just try it, I just finished eating and can't taste it. Ah Peng waved his hand, and his body subconsciously retreated, but Qianxue pressed forward step by step, forcing him into a corner.
"Ah Peng, you just grow one~"
"That's... I'll try one when you're ready. Ah Peng had no choice but to reluctantly agree. Then Qianxue presented the plate containing the energy cubes, looking at the small cubes of red, yellow, green and blue, he suddenly remembered in his mind that the teacher had said that the brighter the mushroom, the more poisonous it is......
"Die and die. 】
Ah Peng left all this mess behind, grabbed the colorful little squares and threw them into his mouth, forgetting that he only needed to taste one piece.
To say that this energy cube is really juicy and refreshing, it looks like a solid cube, but in fact, it is full of juice of various tree fruits, including blue orange fruit, orange orange fruit, sour pear fruit and ......
"Ahh
Peng grabbed a glass of ice water on the table and poured it into his mouth, but his lips were already swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The (die), is it swollen (how) will you eat spicy eggplant!" "Ah Peng was so spicy that tears came out, I used to always see them in the animation after eating spicy eggplant, but now it's really my turn, it's sour~
In short, the energy cubes made by Qianxue are quite qualified, at least much stronger than those made by Xiao Yao at that time (if you don't put spicy eggplant fruits), it's a pity that Larulas doesn't have so much appetite like Little Kirbymon, so it's cheaper to meow them......
After a half-day journey by car, the two came to a small island, which is not small at all, with a vast water area and an endless land, it is a natural tourist resort!
"It's strange that this island is not marked on the map?" Even the GPS only determined that it was a body of water, and there was no specific name.
However, there are a lot of tourists here, many of them are wearing swimsuits, and some even ride bicycles, looking at the long list of slogans posted not far away, Peng immediately realized that this is a triathlon!
"I'm going!The 6th Pokémon Triathlon Championship on Mingxia Island, what the hell is this?" Peng had never heard of Pokémon being able to hold triathlons, but there were NPCs like cyclists in the gem version of the game.
"It turns out that this island is called Mingxia Island, but why doesn't it show it on the map?" Qianxue was also puzzled after seeing the slogan, and asked a tourist, only to know that this is the name chosen by those tourists after a unified vote a few years ago, and every year a Pokémon triathlon competition will be held on this island, although the scale is not large, but the scene is quite grand! Dozens of strong men are beating drums and blowing horns.
After inquiring, I learned that today is the opening ceremony, and most of the tourists in the eyes of the two are actually contestants, and some have participated in several consecutive sessions. The registration time has not yet ended, and Ah Peng has signed up as a fresh.
The rules of the Pokémon Triathlon are similar to those of the Human Triathlon, which are divided into three stages: swimming, cycling, and long-distance running, except that the former is completed in collaboration with the Pokémon, and no one or one Pokémon reaches the finish line. And compared with the triathlon held by human beings, one of its biggest features is that the distance of the race has become longer, swimming 5 kilometers, cycling 100 kilometers, and running 20 kilometers, which is simply spicy for the eyes! Because the Olympic standard is: swimming 1.5 kilometers, cycling 40 kilometers, and long-distance running 10 kilometers, which is more than double the two!
Peng asked again and again, and finally figured out that the so-called swimming is to take the water system Pokémon to the designated time, not to let the contestants swim by themselves, as for the bicycle and long-distance running, Peng is not clear for the time being, only that the Pokémon can be commanded to interfere with other contestants in the game, Ah Peng heard this, where is it? And the Pokémon used are all prepared by the implementation staff, and there is no such thing as using their own Pokémon.
"The first two items will be drawn immediately, and the last one can be freely chosen, what kind of bird rule is this?" Ah Peng was completely convinced, not to mention how difficult the rules are, just "the contestants can interfere with each other" is enough nonsense, which means that you can compete in Pokémon battles while competing? "Isn't it possible to just kill all the Pokémon of the rest of the contestants?"
"Of course not, when one contestant is too strong, the rest of the contestants will attack him in groups. Qianxue, who understood the rules, hurriedly warned Ah Peng.
[Nani? You Japanese are really good at playing, a small triathlon can evolve so many routines......] The corners of Peng's eyes twitched, such a strange rule, okay, I will definitely go all out!? (?^o^?)?
Ah Peng was already in 66th place when he went to sign up, and he browsed the names of the contestants in front of him, what Kimura, Kawakami, Inoshita, Oda... And so on, Ah Peng laughed out loud at the "poof~", and then hurriedly apologized to the people around him, quickly wrote the words "Ah Peng" and "Zhenxin Town" on the paper and left, and accidentally bumped into a person when he turned around!
"It hurts, who hit me!"
A rough and simple voice sounded, which made Ah Peng feel a little familiar, and when he looked up, he saw that this person was wearing an orange wide coat and bamboo shoes, which was his opponent in the quarterfinals of the Caiyou Conference - Masamune!
"Masamune, it's you!"
"Eh, you're not the one~Oh! I remember, your name is Shenzhipeng, right!" Masamune immediately remembered that the person on the other side was the opponent who defeated him, and he was also the one who won the championship in the end.
"Shh~ Call me Ah Peng outside. Ah Peng hurriedly pulled Masamune aside, if it was known that Shenzhipeng was also coming to compete...... It's not that Peng is worried that he will be hyped up, but because this tournament is not able to use the contestant's own Pokémon, and if he loses the game with his loaned Pokémon, then the headlines of tomorrow's news will be "The former king has lost!" and "The genius boy has fallen" and other nonsense......
"Why are you here? Are you here to participate in the Sinnoh Alliance?" Ah Peng asked, the two of them hadn't seen each other since the Caiyou Conference parted, but since he appeared in Sinnoh, then Ah Peng couldn't think of a better reason than to participate in the Sinnoh Alliance.
"No, I'm here to participate in this Pokémon Triathlon Championship!" Masamune said, pointing to the big slogan. "Why, you're here to compete, too?"
"Uh... It's a whim, just for entertainment. Ah Peng touched his chin, "You say, are there any prizes for winning this competition?" Actually, Ah Peng came more for the prizes, such as the master ball......
"I don't know the prize, but it seems like it won't be announced until after the competition. Masamune thought about it, he really didn't know what the prize was, but it didn't matter, he was here to get the first place!" "By the way, why didn't I see your companion? I remember it was a pair of sisters and brothers." Masamune asked about Xiao Yao and Xiao Sheng, Ah Peng sighed, and said to break up, ah no~ separated, and then introduced Qianxue, who is now traveling with him, fortunately, Masamune is a hot-blooded battle maniac like Xiao Zhi, and he will not complain about himself because of this......
At night.
Ah Peng is lying on the roof looking at the moon, this position to see the moon always feels within reach, calculating the time should also be the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ah Peng thought of his strict father and gentle and careful mother, who used to always work against his father, and was not less beaten, but his mother will always protect herself at critical moments, these memories are not diluted by time, just like the moon is within reach, maybe one day he will really go back, back to the world that belongs to him.
"Who!"
Hearing the sound of "crunch ~ crunch ~", Ah Peng stood up vigilantly, it turned out that Qianxue stepped on the ladder and came up, Ah Peng breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pull her up.
"Did you often go to the roof before?" Qianxue's voice gasped slightly, climbing the ladder was still a little reluctant for her, especially the ladder was not supported by anyone......
"Occasionally, when I'm thinking about things, I'll climb up to look at the moon and meow them. Peng said, and lay down in the same position again, while Qianxue sat next to him.
"Then you have something on your mind now? Qianxue supported her chin with her hands, and her favorite thing was to quietly listen to Peng tell his previous story, and clap her hands when she heard it interesting.
Ah Peng smiled slightly, his eyes were just staring at the moon, his setting was an amnesiac teenager, how could he tell her about his parents...... "I'm thinking, the rules of this game are a bit weird, I always feel that there is something else in it." Ah Peng touched his chin and looked thoughtful.
"You mean the rules, I also think it's a little weird, do you think it's a different situation, it doesn't test the contestant's own strength, but the ability to think, like improvisation or something?"
“!”
"What did you just say?"
"It's like improvisation or something. ”
"No, the last sentence!"
"Examine thinking skills?"
Under the moonlight, the corners of Ah Peng's mouth hooked up a smile, for tomorrow's game, it should be the same as what he thinks......
