Chapter 344: Pokémon Marathon Conference, Opening!

Chapter 344: Pokémon Marathon Conference, Opening!

Time passed quickly, and several days passed in a blink of an eye.

July 25, sunny, Sunday.

The entire Pingdie Town seemed to be in a festive atmosphere, and the streets were full of people. Although the streets were not decorated with lights and colors, many outsiders appeared because of the popularity of the conference.

This also means that today is the day of the Pokémon Marathon Conference in Pingdie Town.

The starting point of the competition was chosen at the commemorative Pingdie Town Central Square.

The Pingdie Town Central Square was decorated with lights and colors to make it look more formal, and it really looks like there is a festive atmosphere.

In the edge area outside the central square, a group of mobile stalls stopped here, like a festival, full of all kinds of fragrant snacks.

Luo Mu took the Roentgen cat to appreciate the scenery along the way and happened to pass by here.

With his iron-like firm will, he forced himself to ignore the lingering fragrance on his nose. After passing the area where the stalls gathered, Luo Mu arrived at the central square of Pingdie Town.

At this time, in addition to the local residents of Pingdie Town who came to watch the game, there were also many trainers who traveled through Pingdie Town in the Padiya region and lingered here, and even many ordinary students from Orange Academy.

Unfortunately, these students rarely came into contact with Luo Mu and could not recognize his face. Moreover, because the students were in the summer vacation period, they did not need to wear the school uniform of Orange Academy even when going out, so Luo Mu could not recognize them who were not familiar with them.

Perhaps in an unintentional eye contact, these students and wild trainers would meet each other and start a Pokémon battle directly in the open field.

Even Luo Mu received many trainers' invitations to battle because of the domineering appearance of Roentgen Cat, but considering that the registration time was very close, he could only decline the invitation and rush to the registration place.

When Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat came all the way to the registration place, it seemed that they had successfully missed the peak period, and there were no more people queuing here.

Even the several registration points that were originally set up were now operated by only one middle-aged man.

When Luo Mu arrived at the queue, he found that the person in front of him, who was at the end of the queue, looked familiar, and asked in confusion: "Ms. Junsha?"

The moment the voice fell, Luo Mu clearly saw the person in front of him who was wearing professional riding equipment but still couldn't hide her slender curves. Her body stiffened, and she turned to look at him with a face full of shock.

Ms. Junsha, who had wrapped her head tightly with a helmet on a hot day, turned her head in disbelief and looked behind her. She couldn't understand why someone would recognize her when she was just short of covering up all the exposed skin for heat dissipation.

It was not until she saw Luo Mu's face clearly that she lost her voice and said, "How did you recognize that I was wrong? Why did you also participate in the competition!?"

Luo Mu pointed at the Poké Ball hanging on Miss Junsha's waist with a strange look on his face: "Isn't there a police station logo on your Poké Ball? And your hair color is also very rare."

"By the way, has your Caterpie evolved?"

"Are you planning to take it to the marathon?"

"Then why are you hiding it? As far as I know, Miss Junsha is probably the only one with a wind speed dog in the entire Pingdie Town?"

Junsha: "."

Luo Mu's rapid-fire barrage completely silenced Miss Junsha.

After a while, she took off the helmet that almost suffocated her brain even though she bought a ventilated model. She said helplessly, "It seems a bit bad for me to participate in the competition as Junsha."

Suddenly, an old voice sounded not far away, which made Junsha stunned.

"How could that be, Miss Junsha."

As the rhythmic sound of the cane hitting the ground sounded, as if to match the "festival" of Pingdie Town, Grandma Juzi, who was specially dressed in bright clothes, slowly walked over.

Luo Mu's eyes lit up and he greeted her: "Grandma Juzi, long time no see."

Juzi first showed a kind smile to Luo Mu: "I heard you were going to attend the meeting, so I came to watch the game."

After stroking the slowly approaching Roentgen cat, Juzi looked at Miss Junsha: "Miss Junsha usually works so hard to maintain the stability of Pingdie Town. If she heard that you were going to attend the meeting, she would definitely be very happy."

"At least I am already looking forward to the performance of Miss Junsha and her partner. Of course, I am also looking forward to your performance, Luo Mu. ”

“Are you planning to attend the conference with Windy Dog this time?”

Beside Junsha, who was lost in thought after hearing Mariko’s speech, Luo Mu shook his head: “This time I plan to attend the conference with another Pokémon from the farm.”

“Really? That’s a pity.”

“It’s okay. Although it looks a little different from my Windy Dog, Miss Junsha’s partner should also be a Windy Dog.”

“Oh, is this true?”

After a brief conversation, facing Mariko’s curious eyes, Miss Junsha could only nod slightly.

“Not long ago, Growlithe evolved into Windy Dog.”

“This Pokémon Marathon Conference will start from the main road connected to the central square of Pingdie Town and lead all the way to the suburbs.”

“After circling the entire Pingdie Town three times in the suburbs, we will return to the central square. The whole journey is about 500 kilometers. Please make sure that the Pokémon’s physical strength is enough to run such a long distance before signing up.”

The registration officer in front of him explained the general schedule to Luo Mu again with a numb face.

From his speaking speed and expression, it was obvious that he had said it countless times.

Luo Mu nodded slightly: "I understand."

The registration officer did not say much, and asked directly: "Then let's confirm it one last time. The Pokémon participating in the conference is the Heavy Mud Horse, right?"

"There is still a chance to change it now. Once the information is submitted, the participating Pokémon cannot be changed."

Luo Mu affirmed: "Confirmed."

After getting Luo Mu's answer, the registration officer stopped talking, and after registering the information, he handed the long-prepared contestant vest and the number plate attached to the back of the Pokémon to Luo Mu, and pointed in a direction.

"The waiting area for the contestants participating in the conference is over there. There will be staff to receive you there, please rest assured."

"I wish you a smooth competition!"

After speaking, the registration officer continued to register the contestants behind Luo Mu.

Wisely exiting the queue, Luo Mu came to Miss Junsha and Grandma Juzi who had not been waiting for long.

At this time, Miss Junsha asked curiously: "What's your number?"

"26." Looking at the number plate and the contestant's vest in his hand, Luo Mu replied, "It seems that the number of the Pokémon number plate and the contestant's vest are the same."

"I'm No. 25." Junsha also nodded slightly as if in agreement, looking at the almost empty queue on the side, and added: "It seems that including other travelers and trainers who participated in the conference out of curiosity, the total number is about 30 people."

Grandma Juzi smiled and said: "Then I will go to the starting point to take a position first, you all have to cheer."

"Have a good time!"

The two waved to Grandma Juzi, and waited for her back to gradually disappear. After being lost in the crowd, Miss Junsha stretched and sighed: "I was too worried before."

"Thanks to Grandma Juzi, I have the confidence to walk onto the stage of the conference as Junsha."

Luo Mu looked at Junsha thoughtfully: "It seems that you just talked about something."

Junsha nodded, did not deny, and reminded: "Let's go, we should go to the waiting area to prepare, it seems that the mayor will speak later."

The waiting area is an area separated by a curtain in a corner of the central square. There is a passage leading directly to the starting point of the competition. There is no need to worry that the crowds gathered around will scare the Pokémon participating in the competition.

At this time, quite a lot of players have gathered in the waiting area.

Beside these players are the three-headed Totoro, the huge Rock Snake, the lightning zebra with electric current flashing in the black and white striped hair, the one-horned rhino with heavy armor, and the most Padya Kentaro, whether it is the Fire Type, the Water Type, and the Fighting Type.

There is also a Flamehorse that looks extremely majestic, with blazing flames burning all over its body, a strong body and sharp eyes.

Flamehorse is not common in the Padia region. Luo Mu guessed that the trainer of this Flamehorse is likely to be a traveler from other regions who traveled to the Padia region.

But the Pokémon that shocked Luo Mu the most was neither Onix, nor Zebra, nor Flamehorse.

Luo Mu's eyes fell on a gray-haired old man, where there was a pink-bodied, bipedal, cream-colored belly, and a huge gyro-shaped shell biting on its tail. Slowpoke.

Luo Mu was dumbfounded.

Could this be the legendary Slowpoke, which is also a horse?

Then will I have the opportunity to ride Necrozma to participate in the conference in the future?

Fortunately, this is a Pokémon marathon conference, not a Pokémon horse racing conference, so even if you register with Slowpoke, you can pass the review.

"Slowpoke!?"

Obviously, Miss Junsha beside Luo Mu also found the figure of Slowpoke, covering her mouth and whispering an exclamation that only she and Luo Mu could hear.

"Because it's a town meeting, the entertainment aspect is more than the competition, so there are no restrictions when registering."

"After all, Miss Junsha, you can successfully register even though you're wearing a helmet that looks suspicious."

Luo Mu touched his chin thoughtfully, and stabbed Miss Junsha in the process.

".Can you stop talking about it?" Junsha blushed as if her dark history had been exposed, then shook her head and shouted with full momentum: "Come out, Wind Speed ​​Dog!"

The next moment.

A Wind Speed ​​Dog that was nearly two meters tall, with fluffy flaxen hair, tiger-like black and orange stripes on its body, and hair around its feet, appeared next to Miss Junsha, looking even more heroic than the Flame Horse.

The moment the Wind Speed ​​Dog appeared, it attracted the attention of the surrounding players, especially when they saw the combination of Miss Junsha and the Wind Speed ​​Dog, their expressions became more solemn.

The players thought at the same time, they didn't expect that there would be another day to compete with Miss Junsha and her Wind Speed ​​Dog on the same stage, which was a lot of pressure.

Stroking the proud Argyle, Miss Junsha's usually stern face was now filled with a look of determination because of the atmosphere of the conference.

She pointed at Luo Mu and confidently declared victory: "Even if you are the champion, since you don't send your Argyle and Roentgen, the victory will be won by Argyle and me!"
