Chapter 345 Miss Junsha: We will win!
"You are the challenger!"
Miss Junsha's victory declaration immediately caused a stir in the backstage, and the contestants who had not paid attention to this place just now all turned their attention.
While they were still wondering who was speaking so arrogantly, some slightly impulsive young people even wanted to step forward and have a verbal battle with him.
But when they saw Miss Junsha in her light casual clothes, it was like a mouse meeting a cat, and all their pride was instantly extinguished.
Especially the Arcanine beside Miss Junsha made the other contestants look fearful. This was a powerful contestant with both speed and endurance, not to mention that Arcanine was a Pokémon trained by the police.
No wonder Miss Junsha could make such a victory declaration before the competition even started.
In response to Miss Junsha's challenge, Luo Mu just smiled indifferently and released the heavy mud horse out of the Poké Ball.
As the heavy mud fell to the ground, the horse was pulled to the ground.
Instantly, the entire venue seemed to have an earthquake and shook violently for several seconds.
The large size and weight of the Heavy Mud Horse made the other contestants' Pokémon more or less nervous.
Especially the Thunderdome and Flamebron that should have been passing by the trainer, they couldn't help but raise their front hooves, their movements filled with anxiety.
Looking at the heavy mud horse, Miss Junsha was more confused than the disappointment she felt when her own Ardennes didn't see Luo Mu's Ardennes.
Can the heavy mud draft horse, which weighs nearly one ton, really keep up with the speed of the wind speed dog when running?
In response, Luo Mu just smiled slightly, stroked the heavy mud horse's thick braided hair, looked into its steady eyes, and said nothing.
Time passed quickly until the mayor, Mrs. Aisha, finished her half-hour tearful speech at the main venue. The contestants began to enter the venue amid the relieved cheers of the audience standing on both sides of the designated track.
There were a total of thirty people participating in the Pingdie Town Marathon, and more than half of them were travelers passing by or trainers who participated in the competition out of interest, just like what Xiaozhi and his friends often did in the animation.
In fact, the number of participants in previous Pokémon Marathon events in Pingdie Town was generally between a few and a dozen people, and this year was surprisingly the one with the largest number of participants.
This is also closely related to the rapid development of the Padya region in recent years.
Under the guidance of the staff, the contestants turned over to the back of the Pokémon and walked in the direction of the numbers drawn with water-soluble paint.
The widest road in Flat Disc Town is wide enough to accommodate contestants numbered one to thirty and their Pokémon.
"Then I'll take the first step."
Miss Junsha rode on Arcanine and waved to Luo Mu.
She was number 25, so naturally she entered the runway before Luo Mu.
Luo Mu nodded slightly, and when the staff came to guide him, he gently patted the heavy mud draft horse that had already achieved tacit understanding during the training, and also turned over and rode on it, walking towards the track.
Walking on the asphalt road, the mud protective gear of the heavy mud horse caused the ground to shake slightly before it even started running.
At this time, the commentator was passionately explaining the contestants, and when Luo Mu entered the venue, he happened to be explaining Miss Junsha.
"Oh! Contestant No. 25 is actually the flower of the police station who protects the peace and safety of our Pingdie Town, the righteous Miss Junsha!"
"Oh my god, her partner is actually a speedster who has both speed and endurance."
"It seems that the No. 6 contestant from the Kanto region, the Flame Horse, the No. 7 contestant from the Kalos region, the One-horned Rhino, and the last champion, the No. 1 contestant, the Fire Kentaro, have met a very competitive opponent again!"
Miss Junsha's appearance obviously set off a round of cheers. Whether it was the residents of Pingdie Town or tourists, everyone had a very high degree of favorability towards Miss Junsha who selflessly dedicated herself to guarding peace.
Along with the passionate introduction of the commentator and the cheers of the audience, the heavy mud horse carrying Luo Mu walked onto the runway.
Riding on the heavy mud horse, Luo Mu first exchanged a glance with Miss Junsha, and then exchanged a glance with Mrs. Aisha, the mayor of Pingdie Town, who was sitting on the high platform and whom he had met several times when registering land information.
Luo Mu could see that Madam Elsa was obviously a little surprised that he was attending the conference.
After introducing Miss Junsha, the commentator began to introduce Luo Mu riding a heavy mud horse.
"Well, the next one to enter is our contestant No. 26. Yes, although he registered as a farmer, I believe everyone knows his identity--"
"Our Padia region's proud champion trainer, Mr. Luo Mu, and his partner, Chong Ni Wan Ma!"
The commentator's voice seemed to tremble slightly with excitement. He never thought that he would be able to commentate on a conference attended by champion-level trainers in his lifetime. His commentary career was regret-free!
The audience all around burst into thunderous cheers. Even the tourists who had just arrived knew what a champion trainer really meant thanks to the popular science explanation by the enthusiastic residents of Pingdie Town.
He was a man almost as strong as the champion of his own league.
And at this moment, I am fortunate enough to see such people personally attending the conference. It is really a good decision to travel to Padia!
Surrounded by cheers, Luo Mu felt helpless and annoyed at this moment.
The downside of having a high profile is that it will be difficult for me to advertise the farm’s milk subscription business as if nothing happened.
It turns out that I’m not thick-skinned enough.
Riding a heavy mud horse to the runway painted with the number 26, Luo Mu looked around.
In addition to several angry parrots equipped with live broadcast equipment and a large screen projecting images, Luo Mu also saw Grandma Juzi in the crowd.
At this moment, she was waving at Luo Mu and Miss Junsha with a kind face, her lips constantly moving, obviously cheering them on.
The contestants beside him include Miss Junsha's Arcanine, No. 27's Lycanroc (in the daytime), and No. 20's Slowpoke and the old man's combination, which is also very eye-catching, making people curious about how they will run.
However, Luo Mu was somewhat concerned about the female rider No. 7, who was wearing professional riding clothes and riding an armored rhinoceros and was said to be from the Kalos region.
I always feel like I have seen this person a long time ago.
After waiting for a while, all 30 contestants arrived and everyone became tense.
Riding on the back of the heavy mud horse, Luo Mu gently squeezed the heavy mud horse with his thighs. Without any communication, the heavy mud horse understood what Luo Mu meant and nodded steadily.
Soon, a staff member holding a starting gun came to the edge of the runway. After making sure that everyone was ready, the staff member lightly hooked his finger and pulled the trigger.
boom--!
As the starting gun blasted, the commands of many contestants mixed with the roars of Pokémon rang out.
Among them, the number of "high-speed movement" commands is the largest, and many Pokémon use their moves to increase their speed and rush forward.
The Flame Horse of contestant No. 6 from the Kanto region and the Fire Kentaro of contestant No. 1, the defending champion, ran out almost at the same time and immediately took the lead.
Contestant No. 13, whose body was flashing with electric currents that were obviously stimulating his muscles to improve his running ability, and Thunder Zebra followed closely behind. Contestant No. 7, who was wearing professional riding clothes, performed even more brilliantly.
She lowered her body, almost sticking to the one-horned rhinoceros, minimizing the resistance of the rhinoceros' running.
Miss Junsha's Wind Speed Dog was like a gust of wind, and almost instantly turned into a ball of red light and jumped out.
She did not choose to use the "High-Speed Movement" move, but instead let Arcanine start with "Charged Flame Attack" at an increasingly faster speed. Although this would not allow it to take the lead at the starting speed, it would allow the body to fully warm up and prepare for the subsequent protracted battle.
In a sense, it should be said that the most eye-catching Luo Mu and Chongni Draft Horse moved a little slower.
next moment.
The audience around clearly felt the ground begin to shake, and then they showed expressions of horror.
The weight of the Heavy Mudhorse is nearly one ton, and it is a relatively slow Pokémon. It should not be suitable for this kind of speed + endurance competition.
But the moment Luo Mu's heavy mud horse started running, the ground began to shake as if there was a sudden earthquake.
Wherever the Mudslinger set foot, huge holes were trampled out even on the asphalt road, and many Pokémon that had not yet distanced themselves from the Mudslinger fell to the ground due to the violent shaking of the ground, as if they had lost the capital to continue running from the beginning.
For a moment, the audience in the entire venue had to grab anything at hand to avoid falling to the ground.
Grandma Mariko was also supported by Masayuki, who was out playing with his wife and daughter. Mrs. Elsa on the high platform almost fainted when she saw the densely packed holes on the asphalt road where the heavy mud and draft horses had galloped past.
How much will the subsequent repairs cost?
Lady Elsa, feeling extremely distressed, looked in astonishment at the several contestants who were eliminated at the start, as well as the heavy mud horse and the figure of Luo Mu on its back going away, feeling puzzled.
No way. I didn't know Luo Mu's identity when the land was transferred, and it was handled in a week, which was considered fast. The other party shouldn't remember this incident and openly retaliate at the meeting.
However, the rules of the competition are also written very clearly. In this Pokémon Marathon, Pokémon can even use their moves, not to mention the impact of simply running.
The commentator's surprised voice sounded.
"Oh my god, the vibration caused by Luo Mu's Heavy Mud Horse just from starting to run directly caused the Pokémon of the six contestants to lose the ability to continue running!"
"However, the ones leading the way are still contestant No. 6's Flame Horse and the defending champion contestant No. 1's Kentaro. No. 25 Miss Junsha and Windy Dog are following closely behind. At the back, contestant No. 13 and Thunder Zebra are almost in a straight line, and contestant No. 7 Saki and One-Horned Rhino are in a straight line!"
"The gap between No. 26 Luo Mu and these explosive players is still too big. It's true that heavy mud can still pull a horse back."
Riding on the speeding wind speed dog, Miss Junsha, who was also able to judge the situation through the broadcasts along the way, looked behind her and saw that Luo Mu and Chongni's horse were nowhere to be seen. She frowned slightly and felt a little regretful. As expected, Luo Mu should have brought that special wind speed dog to the competition.
But in the next second, she could no longer care about those thoughts.
Because she was surpassed!
And not only was she surpassed, but No. 1 and No. 6 were also surpassed. The first player was directly replaced. It was not the Thunder Zebra of No. 13 or the One-horned Rhino of No. 7, but the Old Man and Slowshell of No. 20!
"What a joke."
Miss Junsha's face was full of surprise.
The commentator who was watching the contestants in the front through the Angry Parrot aerial cameraman was also shocked and said, "What a surprise! The least favored contestant before the start of the game, No. 20 Old Man and his partner Slowpoke, actually won the temporary first place. The way they moved was..."
"Teleportation! It's teleportation! They are using teleportation to travel!"
Everyone was stunned as they watched Slowpoke and Old Man No. 20 on the big screen, who were enveloped in thick telekinesis and whose bodies flashed in front of them at high speed even though their feet didn't move.
There is also this kind of operation! ?
Riding on the back of the Mudhorse, Luo Mu looked at No. 27 and her rock-type Pokémon Lycanroc, who were losing strength due to the vibration caused by the Mudhorse's running and finally fell down exhausted, so he looked away.
Attention was focused on the sounds broadcast on both sides.
Even Luo Mu showed a hint of surprise when he heard that Slowpoke and Old Man No. 20, who probably couldn't even withstand the bumps, had temporarily taken first place by teleporting.
Oh my goodness, can I also summon Mewtwo at the next Pokémon Marathon and teleport to the finish line in one breath?
You guys still know how to play.
Thinking of this, Luo Mu discovered that the runway had finally changed from an asphalt road to a muddy field in the wild, which meant that he no longer had to use all his strength to run on the heavy mud horse.
With a smile on his face, Luo Mu said to the heavy mud draft horse that had learned some of the mysteries of the earth from the land god: "It's time to get serious."
"Hui Hui!"
A rare flash of seriousness appeared in the eyes of the man who had always been steady and calm.
Even more powerful vibrations spread out from the heavy mud horse, and when the heavy mud horse ran seriously, it would step out a huge hole in the ground with every step it took.
The contestants who remained in the middle and rear could only watch in horror as the heavy mud horses approached them rapidly, and finally they were thrown off their horses and people in the shaking that was comparable to an earthquake.
“As long as I eliminate all the players ahead of me, I will be number one.”
The contestant who was forced to be eliminated only heard these words in the rumbling ground and air. Even if he regrouped and stood up, he could no longer see the backs of Luo Mu and Chongni's horse.
Most of the 500-kilometer marathon route is in the wild area. After all, Pingdie Town must ensure that transportation is not affected too much.
Even for some Pokémon, running 500 kilometers in one breath is not an easy task. After all, the levels of most Pokémon are actually not that high.
Once they were tired, these players seemed to be haunted by the god of death. The humming sound of the earth behind them became closer and closer, until the Pokémon could no longer withstand the terrifying shock wave and fell to the ground. They could only watch unwillingly as the heavy mud horse walked away.
After the 500-kilometer race was halfway completed, the situation among the six people in the front also underwent a huge change.
With the continuous warm-up, Windy has almost formed a straight line with Infernape and Kentaro and is now tied for first place, with Zebra and Rhino following closely behind.
As for Slowpoke and Old Man No. 20, who were leading at the beginning, it was because Slowpoke's mental power was exhausted, just like a meteor that flashed for a moment, and they voluntarily gave up halfway through the race.
With the commentator's explanation, the characteristics of several people were clearly displayed.
In terms of running speed, the three Fire-type Pokémon, Arcanine, and Incineroar, are almost in the same tier.
The flaming horse with flames burning on its mane seemed to have almost no feet touching the ground when it was running. The fire-breed Kentaro ran like a bull, charging forward without showing any sign of fatigue.
Miss Junsha's Arcanine is top-notch in terms of endurance and speed, and has a tendency to become the first. However, because Arcanine has not yet learned the super speed moves, it has been unable to open up the distance.
Behind them, not far away, were the Thunder Zebra, who used electric current to stimulate his muscles to speed up his running, and the obviously professional No. 7 Sachi and her one-horned rhino.
At this time, the competition between the five people has become fierce and tense, and various moves appear frequently.
What are electromagnetic waves, jets of fire, raging bulls, flash charges and stomps?
The five players' unyielding competition provided a very eye-catching performance for the audience who were watching this Pokémon Marathon Conference, and everyone was thrilled.
In the audience, Masayuki and Grandma Mariko, holding sunflowers, looked at the big screen with some concern.
The Angry Parrot, who had almost all of his strength left, went to film the fight between the top five contestants, resulting in Luo Mu not appearing on the big screen for a long time.
More than an hour had passed since the start of the race, and the race had entered the second half.
There are only about 50 kilometers left to get back to the starting line.
At this moment, in addition to the tense atmosphere between the five leading people and the Pokémon, there is also a deep sense of doubt.
Although several people were busy competing for the first place and attacking each other with moves, they found that since some time ago, the sounds of fighting between the lagging players behind them no longer sounded, and were replaced by the roar of the earth.
At first, everyone thought it was the impact of the stomping of No. 7 Sachi and the One-Horned Rhino, but now it seems that is not the case.
As the roar got closer, the Pokémon began to get tired from the continuous high-speed running and fighting of moves. Behind the five people who slowed down their running speed, a figure who maintained a constant top speed approached quickly.
"They've caught up!" the commentator exclaimed. "They didn't attack, they just ran and eliminated the other twenty or so players. The Luo Mu and Chong Ni Wan Ma duo caught up with the leading five!"
Following the example of No. 7 Thatch, she pressed her body tightly against the back of Windy Dog to avoid the sharp stone attack from Kentaro. Miss Junsha looked behind her in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
According to the broadcast, the gap between Luo Mu and Chong Ni Wan Ma and me was hundreds of kilometers. We were almost at the finish line, but they were still able to catch up! ?
45 kilometers near the finish line, Luo Mu and Chongni Dalima were the first to catch up with the Thunder Zebra of contestant No. 13 and the One-horned Rhino of contestant No. 7.
"Damn it, why isn't it tired at all?" Contestant No. 13 gritted his teeth and looked at the already exhausted Thunder Zebra under his crotch. He knew that he couldn't go on like this, so he gave the Thunder Zebra an order: "Draft!"
The Thunder Zebra roared loudly and approached the Heavy Mud Horse with brisk steps. Its hind hooves flashed with a green halo and it kicked the Heavy Mud Horse hard!
Since electric-attribute moves are almost ineffective against ground-type moves, the only thing left to do now is to use draft moves that are extremely effective against ground-type moves, and improve agility at the same time.
"Contestant No. 13 and the Thunder Zebra attacked Contestant No. 26 Luo Mu and the Heavy Mud Horse first!"
Amid the excited commentary of the commentator, facing the kick of the Thunder Zebra's hind hooves, the heavy mud horse was too lazy to even lower its eyes and adopted a completely non-defensive attitude.
There was only a dull collision sound, and under the shocked expressions of contestant No. 13 and the Thunder Zebra, the attack on the sturdy body of the Heavy Mud Horse not only failed to work, but the contestant also lost his balance and fell to the ground due to the vibration caused by the Heavy Mud Horse's serious running!
No. 7 Sachi looked back and found that No. 13, who had been fighting with her for a long time, had just given up. She was surprised and said, "This is really..."
As the tall bodies of Luo Mu and the heavy mud horse approached quickly, Sachi was silent for a moment, and ultimately did not utter the "heavy trample" command.
If she guessed correctly, the heavy mud horse didn't even use any moves at this time, but only relied on its physical strength, characteristics, and the vibration when running to get here.
Rather than taking risks, it is better to complete the race. This is the purpose of traveling to Padya without telling my daughter and participating in this marathon conference.
It's all about participation.
"Oh oh oh! Following contestant No. 13 and Thunder Zebra, contestant No. 26 Luo Mu and Heavy Mud Draft Horse have surpassed contestant No. 7 Saki. There are only three people left in the front."
"As expected of a champion-level trainer who raises a heavy mud horse, even if it's just a Pokémon on the farm, the pressure it brings is one of the strongest!"
"Contestant No. 1 and Contestant No. 6 seem to have chosen to cooperate and attack the Heavy Mud Horse together because the Heavy Mud Horse is getting closer and closer but its speed is not decreasing at all and it does not show any signs of fatigue at all!"
30 kilometers approaching the finish line, when they were about to re-enter the streets of Pingdie Town, Luo Mu and Chongni's horse completely caught up with the three people in front.
No. 1 Kentaro and No. 6 Flame Horse attacked the Heavy Mud Horse with jets of fire, but after thinking for a while, Miss Junsha finally chose not to join the siege.
She disdains to do such a thing.
Luo Mu knew that he would not be able to deal with the two men in one go once they entered the city. He showed a helpless smile like a victim and said in a deep voice: "You were the first to do it, trample them hard!"
Bathed in flames, the heavy mud horse that completely blocked the flames for Luo Mu behind it looked solemn and neighed.
The front feet, like thick boots, were raised high as the heavy mud was pulled into the horse's body. The ochre-yellow light symbolizing the power of the earth quickly gathered together, and then stepped down heavily!
In an instant, the earth made a humming sound as if it could not bear the weight. The ground trembled continuously under the heavy blows of the heavy mud horse, and cracks spread out like spider webs. The earth-yellow shock wave that spread out with the cracks in the ground almost instantly overturned the Flame Horse and Kentaro who continued to spew flames.
Although Miss Junsha and Arcanine did not launch an attack, they had enough time to put up the barrier to protect themselves.
But when the stomping was over, looking at Flamehorn and Kentaro lying on the ground, as well as contestants No. 1 and No. 6 in a mess, Miss Junsha opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
The main venue on the other side of the screen was also plunged into a state of complete silence.
An idea came to everyone's mind at the same time -
Isn't this just one move to kill it?
Get down from your seat!
What a blessing! I was so inspired when writing this that I accidentally wrote a long article about the conference!
But it just ended later QAQ
