Chapter 68 The Champion and the Unknown Egg
Starting from the buoy, the second half of the six hundred-nautical-mile turnaround surfing course officially began. The three Pokémon led their trainers around the buoy and accelerated with all their might...
Qi Ren and Yongyue Duck had a slight advantage in starting speed. Yongyue Duck used its feet as paddles and its wings as supplements, and stood out among the three first.
Kairen turned around and said to Xiaozhi and Nemo.
"Xiao Zhi, I'm going to take the first step. And Nemo, although we have to thank you for rescuing us, but now that we are each other's opponents, I want to give my most sincere thanks, that is, I will try my best to defeat you!"
After leaving these words, Yongyue Ya took Qi Ren and left.
"It's a beautiful idea, I won't give in so easily, Run Shui Ya, let's go quickly!"
Xiaozhi said, following closely behind under the tug of Runduck.
"Hey, don't underestimate us..."
As Nemo spoke, she lowered her head and said to the Popper dolphin in front of her.
"Pop Dolphin, even though we have just met, I believe in your strength and we will definitely win the final victory."
"Gululu..."
Popper's dolphin immediately responded to Nemo's words with a high-pitched cry, and then used all its strength to accumulate strength. The muscles on its tail also tightened, and the water flow around it also changed. They all rotated around its body. Suddenly, with a strong force, Popper's dolphin shot out like an arrow from its string. Nemo tightly held the reins in her hands, fearing that she would be blown away by the oncoming waves.
Keiren, who was leading the race at the front, turned his head and felt a little happy when he saw that there were no figures of Ash and Nemo behind him.
"For novices, you are indeed very powerful, but for me, a person who was born on the seaside, you can't keep up with me on horseback. Leap Duck, let's work hard to open an unreachable distance and use water jets!"
The leaping duck was wrapped in the current, and a water column flew in the direction of Danbao Island. The wind whistling by his ears made Kairen's eardrums roar. Suddenly there was a familiar voice in his ears, and Qi Ren didn't take it seriously. After all, the noise in his ears was too loud, and he didn't think that he was being chased by Xiaozhi and Nemo, so he thought he heard it wrong. .
Until out of the corner of his eye, there appeared a Teal that was also wrapped with the water jet skill. After a while, the two Pokémon were walking together. Gradually, Xiaozhi grasped the reins tightly with one hand and pressed it tightly with the other. The hat on his head came to a position alongside Qi Ren.
Xiaozhi's face was distorted by the oncoming wind, and his mouth was drooling, but he still said in a strong tone.
"If you want us to admit defeat... there is no way..."
Kairen looked at Xiaozhi awkwardly, pointed to the goggles on his face, and said.
"Preparations before the game must be done well in advance. I knew it would be a speed competition and did not prepare eye protection tools, but I still wore such a cumbersome hat."
"You mind your own business. This is a hat my mother specially prepared for me to take on a new adventure. I will never leave it behind wherever I go."
Qi Ren was speechless.
"Then it's up to you!"
As he said that, he and Yongyue Duck moved forward at a high speed, but this time, no matter how hard they tried, they were caught up by Xiaozhi and Rundui Duck. They were fighting for the first place without giving up to each other.
This can't help but make Qi Ren have some self-doubt, he thought in his mind.
"Strange, why Xiaozhi and his water ducks are a little different from the brazen ones they met at the beginning. This may be their desire for victory! We will never give in."
On the way back, it is inevitable to pass through the territory of those annoying wild cods again. The difference this time is that in the territory far away, Xiaozhi and others have already done something random before they set foot in it. group.
Looking at the waves stirred up in the chaos from a distance, I could see that the wild popper dolphins and the good and bad stars were spontaneously expelling these wild light cod groups, using their bodies to separate a direct line from the egg bag. island sea route.
"Pipa, those are..."
"That's right, it's the wild Pokémon we rescued before. They're here to help Xiaozhi and the others."
The referee said in amazement.
"This, this is unbelievable. Wild cod have always been a troublesome obstacle in surfing competitions. In previous competitions, contestants have lost their ability to fight when dealing with them... But like this time It’s unheard of for other water-type Pokémon to help!”
Qi Ren said in surprise.
"This is great. No matter what the reason is, it has really helped us a lot. It can make up for the time wasted by the Rockets' farce. If it doesn't end soon, I'm afraid Danbao Island will..."
Just as Xiaozhi and Keito walked hand in hand through that dangerous territory, Nemo and Popper's dolphins once again passed between the two at amazing speeds.
"I'm sorry, you two, I'm going ahead!"
"What! The No. 8 player who joined later is really a dark horse. The astonishing displacement speed of Popper's dolphin, I think it is unparalleled in this sea area!"
Qi Ren shook his head vigorously to wake himself up from the surprise. After all, he was still competing. Popper Dolphin had its own unique strength, but thinking about his own enthusiastic ducks, they had been using his brother and Carnival Wave Duck As a goal, he must surpass the Popper dolphin in front of him.
"Leaping Duck, we are getting closer and closer to the finish line. Use all your strength without reservation and ride to the top!"
After saying that, the Leaping Duck burst out with a more powerful jet of water. The water jetted out with its own body as a dot stirred up layers of ripples and floated far away, leaving Xiaozhi and Runduck behind, chasing after these people. Nemo and Popper go away.
However, even though he had already left behind Xiaozhi and the others, he still kept pace with Nemo and the others. From now on, it became clear that Popper's dolphin was a slow-moving character and was weak at the beginning, but as time went on, As the race continues, it becomes more and more courageous and enters its own state more and more.
Qi Ren gritted his teeth and needed to explode with more powerful power... Just when Qi Ren was thinking this, a monstrous wave passed over their heads, making Qi Ren and Yongyue Duck below look dumbfounded. of.
"That's..., Xiaozhi?"
"It's incredible, the amazing operation from player No. 4 Ash!"
The audience present also saw the unexpected scene on the screen. On the track where they competed and on the sea road they must pass, the low tide revealed not only Danbao Island, but also large and small islands. Different rocks.
Just before, a huge reef was exposed. Nemo and Popper, who were ranked first, had to take a big turn to avoid the danger. Kairen and Jumping Duck also made the same move, but when it came to Xiaozhi, he There are different ways of doing it.
"Run Teal, use the most powerful water jet to rush towards the reef..."
"Gada?"
"...You don't have to worry about me, trust my decision, go ahead!"
Run Shui Ya immediately returned from confusion to serious concentration...
"Ah, Xiaozhi, what is he going to do? He's about to hit..."
Xiao Qing hid her face in fear and did not dare to look. After a while, Pipa gently patted Xiao Qing's shoulder and said.
"Xiaoqing, look quickly!"
Xiaozhi gave an order just before the duck was about to hit the rocks.
"Run Teal, use the water wave knife to attack the reef!"
In this way, the wet duck wrapped in the water jet protrudes a water blade in the water column, just like a water shark and its protruding water shark dorsal fin.
The water wave knife attack hit hard on the reef. The hard reef did not move at all, but a crack was opened by the powerful water wave knife attack. This powerful impact reacted on the water duck, and with the blessing of the water jet attack , the duck jumped high after being bounced off. Xiaozhi also saw the opportunity and used the rocks as a stepping stone to jump high...
In this way, there was no resistance from contact with the water. Xiaozhi and Runduck in the air increased their speed a lot, and jumped over Qiren and Yongyue Duck who were overtaking them.
"how!"
Qi Ren was in a trance, because under the rising water curtain and through the waves, Qi Ren actually saw the figures of his brother and the Carnival Dancing Duck on Xiao Zhi and Rundui Ya.
After a while, the audience on Danbao Island could already see the three contestants approaching the pier from a distance on the sea level with the naked eye.
"Come on, fellow players."
The dock suddenly became lively, and the screen was no longer needed by everyone because they wanted to see with their own eyes the scene of a personal championship.
"It's so exciting. It's such a fierce battle that you can't stop. Will the previous champion Kai Ren and Yue Duck win the championship again, or will it be the unexpected Ash Ketchum and Duck Duck, or the later dark horse Nemo and Popper? What about the dolphins? It’s possible...the winner will be announced soon!”
On the sea surface of the pier, a terminal has been set up for the champion to hit the line.
"Come on, Leaping Duck!"
"Come on, Popper Dolphin!"
"Let's go, moisturizing duck!"
Amidst the clamor of competition, layers of waves aroused and the game ended.
"The first place was won by Nemo and Pop Dolphin, who came in from behind to help others out of the siege; the second place was won by Xiaozhi and Runduck, whose tactics were surprising; the third place was won by veteran players from previous games, Qi Ren and Won by the Leaping Duck... I also want to thank the other contestants for their enthusiastic participation.”
"Great, Popper! We win."
Nemo happily flirted with the pop dolphin, and Xiaozhi also sent his sincere blessings.
"Congratulations, Nemo and Pop Dolphin, you are really amazing!"
"Thank you, Xiaozhi! You and Runduiya are just a little bit different. You really shocked us into a cold sweat!"
At this moment, Qi Ren also came over, with a gloomy look on his face... Just as Nimo was looking at the child, he was about to say something.
Qi Ren raised his head and said flatteringly with a red face.
"You are so awesome, Sister Nemo!"
"Sister Nemo?"
Kairen's sudden words shocked everyone. Xiaoqing and Pipa were also in disbelief. After all, not long ago, he was having a big fight with Xiaozhi and called Xiaozhi "this kid". Unexpectedly, Now he has a different face.
"Let me tell you, Qi Ren, why did you suddenly call Nimo your sister? You had clearly called me that casually before."
I saw that Keiren's eyes were now full of Nemo, and he could no longer hear what Xiaozhi and the others said.
Qi Ren still said reluctantly.
"Sister Nimo, listen to me, are you single? I want to introduce my brother to you. He is a great firefighter. I think you two will be a good match."
Nemo laughed loudly after hearing this.
"Then is he someone who is good at fighting? If he is not as strong as me, I have no interest at all!"
Just when Qi Ren was about to continue to benefit his brother, a whistle "beep" sounded, and the fishing boat with "Deep Sea" written on the hull approached Xiaozhi and the others.
Ash and Nemo shouted in unison.
"Uncle Deep Sea!"
Qi Ren also addressed the other party.
"grandfather!"
"Grandpa? Uncle Deep Sea is your grandpa!"
Looking at Xiaozhi and others who looked surprised, Qiren replied.
"Yes, he is my grandfather. My full name is Deep Sea Keito. Didn't I introduce him like this before?"
"Not really!"
Uncle Deep Sea on the deck immediately taught Qi Rendao a lesson.
"It's so embarrassing. Now you know that there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world! You haven't learned a lesson yet, and you want to benefit your brother to him. If your brother Shenhai Chongren knows that you are like this, he will definitely do it for you. Shame on you!"
Qi Ren said sheepishly.
"I know I was wrong, grandpa...and why did you come here suddenly?"
Uncle Shenhai then became serious, straightened up, and said.
"I'm here now to award the first place prize to champion Nemo!"
Xiaozhi asked curiously.
"Hey, why are you, Uncle Deep Sea, presenting the award?"
Qiren replied to Xiaozhi's question with a proud look on his face.
“That’s because of the East Padia Sea Surf Festival, my grandfather is the founder!”
Uncle Shenhai coughed sheepishly and said.
"Ahem, it's just that when I was young, I was also a person who liked surfing... Let's get back to the subject. Now I want to award Nemo with the first place prize in this competition."
After saying that, Uncle Deep Sea took out something wrapped in a white curtain from the cabin and handed it to Nemo's hand.
After receiving the prize, Nemo slowly pulled down the curtain, and finally, the much-anticipated prize appeared in front of everyone.
What appeared in front of everyone was a Pokémon egg contained in a glass container. The pattern on the eggshell was an orange-red flame pattern.
"What kind of Pokémon egg is this?"
Uncle Deep Sea scratched his head and said.
"I don't know either. I got this by chance after traveling across the world. Only after it hatches will I know what kind of Pokémon egg it is."
Nemo's eyes sparkled as she held the unknown egg in her hands.
"Great, a new companion has joined. Please give me your advice."
