Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 122 Spring Horse Racing, Start!
In the 198th year of the Alliance Calendar, March 3th, sunny, Wednesday.

Today is the day for the spring horse race. After finishing the work on the ranch, Naoki took a few Pokémon to watch and join in the fun.

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

The spring races are held on a sprawling meadow just outside the town.

When Naoki arrived, quite a few people had already gathered here.

A trainer passing by, a young couple who came to travel, a boy who came to watch the game with his father, an old man raising horses, etc.

There are lights and festoons on the meadow, and the ribbon of "Jianqin Town Spring Horse Racing Festival" is hung at the entrance. There are stalls for buying horse racing tickets not far away. Behind the stalls are various small prizes and props, all of which can be passed through Race tickets to redeem.

At this time, many contestants have already come to the racetrack.

Naoki stood not far away and looked over there with envy.

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

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

Its whole body is snow-white, and the mane on the head and tail are like colorful clouds and smoke, ethereal and dreamy.

In addition to the flaming horse, there is also a lightning zebra covered in lightning, a strong and powerful heavy mud horse, and a slightly fat hippopotamus with a light brown body.

Ok?
It seems that something strange has mixed in.

Isn't Hippomon a Hippo Pokémon?Why can I also participate in a horse race? Hey!

At this time, Naoki heard the voice of the mailman Aiwen behind him.

He turned his head and saw Ai Wen running towards him: "Hey! Naoki, are you here too?"

Naoki nodded: "Yes! I'm done with the work on the ranch, so come and have a look."

Aiwen took Naoki to the side of the racecourse, grinning: "Come here and choose the players you are going to support later! Who are you going to support?"

To be honest, Naoki hasn't figured it out yet.

But he has a question to ask.

Looking at the sand-spitting hippopotamus, Naoki asked, "Can that kind of Pokémon also participate in the horse race?"

Ai Wen smiled and explained: "Because there are too few horse Pokémon! So the town stipulates that as long as the Pokémon has a horse in its name, it can participate!"

Naoki: "..."

Ai Wen said again: "Now it's considered very good. Last year, some players brought Mo Haima to participate in the competition!"

Sorry, he couldn't imagine that picture.

After all, Mohaima is very small, and there is no way to drive humans who are much bigger than it.

"Which player are you going to support?" Ai Wen asked.

Naoki cast his eyes on the group of horse Pokémon, and finally stopped on a vigorous flame horse.

"Well, that flaming horse seems to have the potential to win the championship."

Compared with the flame horse, the thunder zebra looks a bit too strong, and the size of the heavy mud horse does not look like a fast Pokémon.

As for the flame horse in the form of the Galar region... its figure is also very vigorous.

Naoki's eyes wandered between the two horses, and he was a little undecided for a while.

Aiwen looked over there with some excitement, and said, "I plan to support that heavy mud horse! God, it looks so strong!"

"Shouldn't you run slowly if you are too big?" Naoki was a little puzzled.

Seeing his appearance, Ai Wen probably understood his thoughts, and explained: "No, no, no, this is different from traditional horse racing!"

Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ai Wen pointed to the heavy mud horse, and continued with excitement in his eyes:
"During horse racing, it is allowed to use Pokémon moves. Take that heavy mud horse as an example, as long as it uses an earthquake during its running, the other players will-bang! Lose their balance and be thrown behind!"

Naoki: "???"

"Wait, will the trainer ride on the horse during the competition?"

"Of course!" Ai Wen explained: "But the trainer will wear the corresponding protective gear, which can maximize the impact of Pokémon's moves, and even if it is hit, it will not cause too much damage."

Naoki: "..."

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

If this is the case, then he will have to reconsider who he supports.

Earthquakes can help Mud Drawn Horses close the speed gap with other Horse Pokémon.

Sand hippos can raise sand and dust, disturbing the sight of other players.

Thunder Zebra also has a lot of interference moves.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems more difficult to choose.

But the horse race was about to start, so Ai Wen took Naoki to buy a horse race ticket.

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 says that one person can only buy 200 horse racing tickets, and the price of a horse racing ticket is It is 50 union coins.

There are all kinds of props in the cabinet behind him.

The most basic is all kinds of special elf balls, such as diving balls and nest balls, all of which are 50 horse racing coupons.

The more expensive ones are props for Pokémon. There are electric balls that can be carried by Pikachu to increase attack and special attack, hard stones that increase the power of rock-type moves, and black glasses that enhance the power of evil-type moves.

These cost 250 horse race tickets.

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

He roughly scanned, except for the Sun Stone and the Moon Stone, there are other ice, fire, water and leaf mines.

And their exchange price is 300 horse racing coupons.

"A horse racing ticket is 50, and 200 tickets are only 10000. Buy it!"

Naoki waved his hand and bought two hundred copies from the boss.

And Ivan also bought two hundred copies.

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

The boss behind reminded: "Do you two want to start betting?"

As he spoke, he took out a form that recorded the odds of each player.

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

However, the flame horse, the flame horse in the Galar region, and the lightning zebra are comparable, all of which are 1/1.5.

The heavy mud horse is hovering around 1/3.

"It seems that most people, like me, chose to overwhelm the flame horse!" Naoki thought.

Aiwen on the side simply bet all the horse racing tickets on the heavy mud harness horse.

Zhi Shu hesitated for a while, but still chose to believe in his own judgment, and bet on the flaming horse, which is a magnificent horse.

After the bet was completed, Naoki took Guleton and followed Ivan to the auditorium.

Aiwen's Pokémon is a small Mi Lilong. He put the sushi-style Mi Lilong on top of his head and watched the game with him.

The audience gathered here one after another.

All contestants in the racecourse also wear protective gear and ride on horseback.

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

Seeing them galloping below, Naoki was extremely envious.

At this moment, he made a decision in his heart: one day, he will own a horse of his own!
Like King Leicrown's Ghost and Snowstorm!
Speaking of ghost horses and snow storm horses, Naoki suddenly thought that he might go to the Galar region.

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

The plot of the Snowfield of the Crown emerged in his mind, maybe he could abduct King Leiguan's horse and people back together.

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

but……

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

And even if he went to the Snowfield of Crown, he might not be able to find King Leiguan.

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

So the question is, if he does something beneficial to King Leiguan in the Partia area, can he see it?

For example, building a ancestral hall or something, maybe this can increase the favor of King Gaolei. When he goes to the Galar area in the future, King Leiguan will take the initiative to come out to meet him.

Thinking of this, Naoki decided to turn around and build an ancestral hall for King Leiguan in the ranch.

Regardless of whether King Lei Guan can really sense it, anyway, it doesn't cost money to believe it.

　Small Theater "The Diary of King Leiguan"

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

　　On the 20th day, Gu saw that believer built an ancestral hall for Gu, and Gu was deeply moved, looking forward to the believer coming to find him.

　　On the nth day, the believer hasn't come yet, so I miss him.

　　Day n+1, believers!come quickly!To help the orphan grow radishes, to hang the orphaned horse with the radish.
