Not a trainer this time

Chapter 340 Horse racing!

On March 25, 1999 in the league calendar, the horse racing meeting officially opened.

Early in the morning, Naoki rushed to the venue with several Pokémon and Adek.

Although it was still early, when Naoki arrived, many people and Pokémon had already gathered on the grassland.

Trainers like Xiaozhi passing by, students wearing Padia Academy uniforms, townspeople coming to watch the game, etc.

The grassland was decorated with lights and colorful, and it was very lively.

The "Ziqin Town Spring Horse Racing Festival" ribbon is hung at the entrance. Not far away is a stall for purchasing horse racing tickets. Behind the booth are various small prizes and props, which can be exchanged for horse racing tickets.

Looking at this scene, Adek couldn't help but sigh: "Wow! It's really lively here!"

Naoki smiled and nodded: "Yes! The horse racing conference here in Zhiqin Town is quite famous. At this time every year, it attracts many trainers to come here to participate."

This kind of activity is just like the insect catching conference held in some small places.

"What a pity. If it weren't for the horse Pokémon around me, I would have signed up to give it a try!" Adek looked regretful.

Naoki thought of Adek's Pokémon in his mind.

Agility Bug, Afro Buffalo, Red Faced Dragon, Double Dodo Ice, Knight Snail, Vulcan Moth.

It's a pity that there is no bull racing competition, otherwise Adek could participate on the afro buffalo.

"Bonnie..."

Ergui, who was following Naoki, looked at the people around him timidly.

Naoki touched its head and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, no one here will hate you."

As soon as he finished speaking, several young trainers were attracted by the two unseen Pokémon, Guluton and Erguifen.

"Wow! A Pokémon I've never seen before!"

One of the trainers took out the Pokédex and scanned it, but received the answer that there was no relevant information in the Pokédex.

Another person took the illustrated book and scanned the Babu woodchuck floating in the air wearing a red cloak. The illustrated book now gave an introduction:

"Baboo is a Pokémon that controls the palm. Although it usually moves slowly, when it has to face a battle, it will defeat the enemy with lightning speed. Its fluffy body hair is a battery. It can store and power electricity. The same amount of electricity as a car.”

"Babu Dog?!" the trainer exclaimed.

He widened his eyes and looked at the Pokémon in front of him in surprise, which was very different from what he had remembered.

The pink fur, silver metal hammer, and red cloak show the majesty of the owner...

Is this Pokémon really the Baboo he knows? !

What's more important is that it actually flew...how did it do that? !

Sensing the shock, confusion and confusion in the other party's eyes, Babu said a friendly hello to them:

"Bamo~"

Then he made fists with both hands and soared into the sky, like a superhero.

"Amazing!!!"

The two trainers who had never seen this scene immediately exclaimed excitedly.

"Sir, are you the trainer of these Pokémon?" the boy on the left asked with adoring eyes.

Naoki nodded slightly: "That's right, the Pokémon here is Gulton, and the Pokémon here is just Ereton, a grass-type Pokémon."

"Guluton?"

"Ergui?"

The boy murmured the names of these two Pokémon.

They looked at the tall Pokémon with a scarlet body and strong muscles.

Gu Luton looked back with a fierce expression.

The aura of the ferocious beast spread instantly, and the two teenagers were frightened.

"What a scary Pokémon!"

Naoki was a little puzzled. He turned his head and glanced at Gulton, then stretched out his hand towards it.

Therefore, Luton immediately put his head up like a big dog.

"Ah gah~"

Naoki: "It's not scary at all!"

The teenagers swallowed, thinking that the way it looked at them just now was not like this...

Adek tried hard to hold back his laughter, but finally couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

"Hahahahaha!"

This Pokémon is so interesting!

The teenagers didn't dare to look at Gu Ledun anymore, so they turned their attention to Egui Chun on the side.

Eguifen noticed their gazes and hid behind Zhishu.

Naoki asked: "Do you think this Pokémon is scary?"

The two teenagers shook their heads like rattles: "It's not scary at all."

"Aren't you afraid of it?" Naoki asked again.

The young man was stunned. They heard the tone of the man in front of them, as if he was confirming something to them.

One of the teenagers asked doubtfully: "Why are you afraid?"

Naoki smiled and said: "It's nothing, Ergui, did you hear that? No one is afraid of you, and they don't hate you."

"Boni..." Erguifen looked around and looked at the lively crowd. A warm current surged in his heart, and then he jumped twice happily: "Boni!"

The two teenagers began to feel anxious: "Sir, can you have a Pokémon battle with us?"

Naoki looked at the people at the registration desk. He came relatively early and there was still some time before the start of the conference. He simply wanted to play with the two trainers for a while.

When Naoki asked them which Pokémon they wanted to battle, they both chose Gulton.

There is no other reason for this, because this Pokémon looks very powerful, and fighting it will definitely be exciting!

So, Naoki directed Guledon to play with the two teenagers.

They seemed to have been traveling for a while, and the Fire Crocodile and New Leaf Meow around them had already evolved into the second stage.

But even so, it was still not enough in front of Gu Lerton.

Naoki was interested in playing with them, so he was not in a hurry to end the battle. He took one move at a time and turned the real-time system into a turn-based one.

After all their Pokémon fell down from exhaustion, Naoki stopped, then said goodbye to them and prepared to go to the registration office to sign up.

Adek stayed where he was, patting his chest and promising, "Don't worry! I will take care of Babu and the others!"

Naoki smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the registration office.

On the way, he met Alvin who was looking for him everywhere.

As soon as he saw him, Alvin asked excitedly: "Have you signed up?"

Naoki: "I'm getting ready to go!"

Ivan patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother, I leave it to you!"

Naoki: "...How many horse racing tickets did you buy?"

Ai Wen chuckled: "It's not much, I just bought 100,000 alliance coins!"

Naoki said speechlessly: "Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"

Alvin's expression suddenly became serious: "That's because I believe in you!"

Then, he said pitifully: "You won't treat me like that, right?"

Naoki: "..."

He pushed Alvin's face away: "Stop!"

Ivan took a step back and said with a smile: "That's it, I'll wait for you in the audience. Come on!"

After saying that, Alvin jumped away and left.

Naoki sighed helplessly.

This guy……

He turned and walked into the registration office.

"Name." The old man with a white beard in charge of registration looked up.

"Naoki."

"Participating horse Pokémon."

"Lingyou Horse."

Hearing this name, the old man paused slightly in the movement recorded in his hand, raised his head and looked over in surprise: "Lingyou Horse? What kind of horse is that?"

"Uh..." This made Naoki not sure how to explain it. He thought for a while and replied: "It's a ghost-type horse Pokémon from the Galar region."

"It turns out they are Pokémon from other regions!" The old man suddenly realized, "Can I take a look?"

"Of course." Naoki nodded, took out Linyouma's poke ball and released it.

With a flash of white light, a completely black horse Pokémon with a blue mane and a light blue tail, and soul-like mist attached to its limbs appeared in front of the registration office.

Looking at this scene, the old man's eyes widened instantly. He ran forward and looked at Lingyouma excitedly, murmuring:

"This strong body, this muscular posture, this jet-black fur, what a perfect horse! I have been raising horses for so many years, and I have never seen such a perfect horse Pokémon!"

Naoki Shin said that was not the case. This was the former ruler of the Crown Snowfield. Although he was later tamed by King Lei Guan, Ghost Horse was not comparable to ordinary horse Pokémon.

"It's called Lingyou Horse?" the old man asked.

"Yes."

The old man nodded: "I know, I remember its name. There is still an hour before the conference starts. You go! I hope you can ride it and perform perfectly in the conference!"

"The waiting area for runners is right at the back. Go get your jersey and track number, and then wait there."

"Okay, thank you." Naoki thanked him politely, then led the ghost horse and continued to move forward.

After passing through a stepped auditorium, they came to an open grassland.

At this time, many contestants have gathered here.

They also all released the horse Pokémon, feeding them sugar cubes and stroking their heads.

Naoki went first to get his number plate and player uniform.

Both are number 06.

This also means that they will compete on runway six later.

Naoki led the ghost horse and stopped to rest on a quiet grassland, while looking at the other players not far away.

Including himself, there were a total of eight players participating in the horse racing meeting this time.

Everyone's appearance horse Pokémon is different.

There is a majestic flame horse with its whole body burning with flames, a thunder zebra with black and white stripes, a tall and strong heavy mud draft horse, and an earthy yellow sand hippopotamus...

What surprised Naoki even more was that there was even a slightly immature little fire horse inside.

The owner of the little fire horse is a young man who doesn't look very old. Compared with the tall and powerful horse Pokémon around him, the little fire horse is really a bit underwhelming.

But compared to that sand hippopotamus, the little fire horse is still a normal horse Pokémon.

But there is no way, after all, the number of horse Pokémon in the Pokémon world is too rare.

These trainers are already pretty good even if they don’t come riding Mohai horses...

Time passes minute by minute.

Gradually, all the empty seats in the auditorium were filled, and with the sound of fireworks exploding, people's cheers swept in like a tide.

Looking at this scene, Naoki couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Because the popularity of this year’s horse racing conference seems to be much higher than last year!

He clearly remembered that last year the auditorium was not full...

Today is different from the past. It seems that Zhiqin Town is becoming more and more prosperous.

Many of those spectators must have come to Ziqin Town specifically after hearing the legend of King Lei Guan.

Just like the people in Kitakami Township use ghost legends as a gimmick to attract tourists and develop tourism.

Seeing this scene, Lingyou Ma on the side also had a faint expression of excitement in his usually smooth eyes.

So many humans...so many Pokémon...

Soon, it will be crowned the King of Horses in front of these people and Pokémon!

"Are you ready?" Naoki put on his protective gear and turned around to ask.

The ghost horse neighed.

"Then, come on!"

Naoki turned over and rode up, and rode into the arena together with other contestants.

"Welcome to Zhiqin Town to participate in this horse racing conference! I am Renping, the commentator of this conference!"

"Then, let me explain this exciting game to everyone!"

"Now everyone can see that our players are already in place! The first one to enter is our No. 1 player!"

"Contestant No. 1's partner is a flaming horse. Wow, look at that flaming horse. How handsome it is! The blazing flames are just like the enthusiasm of the audience!"

When player No. 1 arrives at his position, player No. 2 follows closely behind.

"Next, is our No. 2 player. It seems that our No. 2 player is unusual! His partner is actually a slow sand hippo! But the sand hippo does have the word horse in its name, so Let us look forward to what kind of performance this player and his partner will perform next!"

There was a burst of laughter in the audience, obviously not optimistic about the slow sand hippopotamus.

Then, Contestant No. 3, Contestant No. 4, and Contestant No. 5 entered one after another.

Soon, it was Naoki's turn riding the ghost horse.

"So... the next person to enter is our player No. 6, huh? What kind of Pokémon is that?"

The commentator was stunned for a moment, unable to recognize the name of the Pokémon.

Hearing this, the audience in the auditorium also cast their gazes downward.

I saw a horse as dark as night slowly walking out of the passage.

It has blue mane, and its limbs are covered with purple mist like ethereal clouds.

What is even more eye-catching is the pair of tightly closed eyes on its face.

It obviously had its eyes closed, but it seemed to be able to feel everything around it, and it walked towards its destination accurately.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the auditorium was surprised.

"What's going on? What Pokémon is that?"

"This is incredible! Is that horse blind?"

"How could it see the road clearly with its eyes closed?"

"But that horse is so handsome! I like its feet! So cool!"

After searching through the player's information, the commentator finally found the player's registration information.

"This is so surprising! Contestant No. 6's partner is actually a horse Pokémon that has never been discovered before!"

"Eh? It's never been discovered?!" The audience immediately opened their eyes, becoming even more curious about that Pokémon.

Commentator: "That's right! According to the information provided by player No. 6... Ghost Horse, the name of that Pokémon is Ghost Horse!"
