Chapter 12: The First Day of Competition
At 10 o'clock, the preliminaries of the first group of the 2000-meter race began.
"Please take your Pokémon to the starting line next to the high platform in order. Once again, I would like to remind all contestants that please instruct your participating Pokémon to compete according to the rules of the competition, and not affect other participating Pokémon in any form, otherwise you will be disqualified from the competition. ”
The 10 Pokémon of the first group are on the starting line, and their owners are communicating with them.
The starting line is next to the high platform, which is convenient for Lei Dong to start the starting order.
There is also an extra drum on the high platform, and there are six people hired by Lei Dong to keep track of the laps and rankings of each Pokémon. The rule set by Lei Dong is that the top two in each group enter the finals, and he is the only one who can't remember.
There's no way around it, Lei Dong can't make a stopwatch, so he can only use this unfair way. But it's still feasible to think about it, after all, the final is only to compete for the top three, and if the group can't get into the top two, it's useless to get into the final.
"When you're ready, please exit the runway and be sure to tell yourself that your Pokémon is signaling to the sound of drums. ”
After the owners of the 10 Pokémon exited the runway, Lei Dong raised the drum stick in his hand.
"Ready, ready. ”
"Boom. ”
As soon as the drums fell, the 10 Pokémon on the track ran hard.
"Now the leader is the number seven monkey monster, followed by a Nidoran, and the chase is fierce. ”
"Behold, Nidoran No. 5 hastened, and he slowly approached No. 7, and it caught up. No. 5 Nidorang caught up with No. 7 Monkey Monster 200 meters before reaching the finish line. ”
"In the first group, No. 5 Nidorang was the first to cross the finish line, and No. 7 Monkey Monster ranked second and entered the final. ”
Lei Dong is also responsible for real-time commentary on the high platform, which has never appeared in this world. In the past, the competition was that the players played on the stage and the audience watched. This is a very novel way for people from the other world to watch the game.
"Now it's time for the second group of runners in the 2000-meter sprint preliminaries to get ready for the start with their Pokémon. ”
Rex's little fire horse was drawn to the second group, and Lei Dong saw him walking to the starting line with the little fire horse on the high platform, and then whispered something in the little fire horse's ear.
"Please leave the track and the race will start immediately. ”
"Ready, ready. ”
"Boom. ”
"The second group of the 2000m sprint preliminaries is now underway, and the No. 3 fire horse is running in the front, getting farther and farther away from the No. 1 Dudu in second. ”
In the end, Rex's little fire horse won the first place in the group without any suspense, and the second was the Dudu who had been running second.
After that, the first place in the third group was won by Catherine Lori's big rock snake. Little Lori danced happily in the contestants' area.
The preliminaries of the 2,000-meter race were all over in the morning, while the afternoon was the preliminaries of the 5,000-meter race.
This is even more of a test of the Pokémon's physical strength. These require their owners to teach them, and at the same time, they also enhance the communication and affection between humans and Pokémon.
"How's it going, Lao Tie, my little fire horse is running well, isn't it?"
Rex came to Thunder's side during the lunch break to show off his achievements.
"Don't be complacent, you're not the only one who has a little fire horse, the first group in the fourth and sixth groups is a little fire horse. Let's talk about it when you win the championship. ”
"I told my little fire horse that you have to run in front of you and break out again in the last half lap. I don't think their little fire horse ran like this, they ran with all their strength the whole time, and by the time they got to the second half lap, they didn't have any strength, so how could they win me?"
Rex triumphantly revealed his strategy.
"It's amazing my brother, and he still has a strategic run. ”
Lei Dong actually saw it, and he just wanted to give him a chance to put on a fork.
"Of course, I'm Rex. No, why am I a brother and not you?"
"Don't worry about that, it doesn't matter. Then again, do you still have a strategy for the 5,000-meter race?"
"Yes, I'm going to. I won't tell you yet, I'll talk about it after the run. ”
Rex also sold a pass.
"Don't talk about pulling down, I'm going to eat, together? I'm almost tired all morning, and I'm going to continue in the afternoon, so I have to take a good rest." ”
"Don't say it, you really have a set of explanations. I've never seen a commentary game before, but it seems to be more exciting after you explain it. ”
"What? Are you interested? Why don't you explain the game in the afternoon?"
Lei Dong saw that Rex seemed to be very interested in the commentary, thinking that if he succeeded him, he would be lazy.
"Can I? I haven't tried, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I get stuck on it?"
Rex was a little moved, but not very confident.
"You can do it, it's the first time I've done this today. Why don't you go up and try it, and I'll watch from the sidelines, and if you can't, I'll go on top?"
"Is that okay? I'll try it, it's kind of fun. Tell me more about what to say when the game starts. ”
"It's very simple, after you start, you have to report the ranking first, and then describe a certain Pokémon that stands out, not too fast, but give people a sense of tightness and excitement. ”
Lei Dong shared his commentary experience with Rex.
"It's still simple, how can you be tight if you don't speak fast?"
"This is up to you to feel with your heart, it depends on talent, you taste it slowly, I'll eat." ”
Lei Dong didn't care about Rex anymore, after a morning of explanation, he was already hungry.
At 2 p.m., the draw for the 5,000-meter race began. After the draw was made, the Pokémon in the first group were also ready at the starting line.
On the high platform, Lei Dong really let Rex explain, and he was responsible for beating the drums.
"Lao Tie, can I really do it? I feel so nervous. ”
Rex's nervous voice trembled a little.
"Calmly, you are Rex, the son of Earl Johnson, how can you be cowardly in the face of such a trivial matter? Come, learn from me, inhale, exhale. Inhale again, exhale again. It's better. ”
"Huh? I don't think I'm that nervous anymore. ”
After a few deep breaths, Rex calmed down and stopped shaking.
"Come on, you can do it. ”
"Well, I can. But what's the matter with coming on, old iron?"
"Well, this is also my hometown dialect, let you work hard. ”
Lei Dong accidentally said the idiomatic words on the earth again, he didn't want to leak anymore, now Rex is an old iron, and his sister Elise also has this trend.
"Well, rest assured. I'll do my best. ”
As Lei Dong expected, this product is still very talented in learning languages.
"The first group of the 5000m sprint preliminaries is ready to start, and I, Rex, will explain it to you. ”
Sisters Elise and Caterina in the contestant section, as well as those who knew Rex well, looked at Rex on the high platform in amazement.
"Wow, Catherine. In the afternoon, it was actually Rex's brother who explained. I don't know if he has the store manager's brother who said it is good? The store manager's brother said it was wonderful in the morning. ”
"yes, Cousin Rex doesn't think he'd done anything like that before. ”
Anne Lori and her little friend Catherine discuss how Rex will explain. The others laughed as they heard their innocent discussions.
"Ready, ready. ”
"Boom. ”
"The first group of the 5000m sprint heats has begun, and now the second Kentay is in the lead. But with this kind of furious running, I think it's hard to keep it that fast the whole time, considering that this is a 5,000-meter race. ”
Sure enough, the speed of the No. 2 Kentyro dropped significantly after one lap, while the distance between the No. 6 Aba Snake and the No. 6 in second place was shrinking. ”
Rex also added his own guesses while describing the situation on the field, which is different from Thunder's commentary style.
"Catching up, No. 6 Aba Snake surpassed No. 2 Kentyro to become No. 1 for the time being. No. 2 Kentyro looked like he couldn't run. It's no wonder that it's running too hard in front of it. ”
Rex slowly got into the groove, and the whole person became passionate as the game progressed.
"Congratulations to No. 6 Aba Snake for winning the first place in the first group of the 5000-meter sprint preliminaries. The second was not the No. 2 Kentaro who led at the beginning, but the No. 9 Nidolan, who came later. Everyone applauded and encouraged. ”
And just like that, Rex's first commentary ended.
"Haha, it's so cool. This commentary game is so interesting, how about letting me come in the afternoon?"
"You come, you come. I'm not going to rob you. ”
Lei Dong still wishes Rex would have continued to explain. Looking at Rex, who volunteered, Lei Dong even had a feeling that the conspiracy had succeeded.
In the afternoon, Rex was immersed in the world of commentary, and even his own little fire horse race just casually said a few words to the little fire horse and returned to the high platform to continue the commentary.
In the afternoon, when there are the most people, even the stone steps are crowded with people. Lei Dong really didn't expect the first day to be so popular, he planned to build two more layers of wooden shelves on the stone steps after the afternoon, and then go to the mercenary guild to ask the two teams of mercenaries to maintain order in the arena for the next few days.
Under Rex's passionate commentary, the preliminaries of the 5000-meter sprint race are all over.
"Lao Tie, I'm so cool today. Thank you for letting me explain the afternoon game. ”
"You're welcome, I'll let you explain if you want to explain in the future. ”
"Really? Then I'll continue tomorrow? Tomorrow is the final, will you give it to me?"
Rex was a little incredulous.
"I think you're better than me, so I'll let you come." That way, the audience will be happy, too. ”
"Do you really think so? Haha, I'll just say I'm a talent for commentary. ”
In this way, Rex was fooled by the lightning to become the queen commentary of this and future games.
"By the way, don't forget to remind your father, Earl Johnson, that he will be presenting the award tomorrow. It's a bit of a hassle for him, and he has to make three trips. Next time, I'll try to put all the award ceremonies on one day. ”
"It's okay, don't worry, I'll come with him tomorrow. Since my father has agreed, he will come no matter how troublesome it is. Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner, and thank you for giving me the explanation. ”
Poor Rex was sold and helped Lei Dong count the money.
