Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 206 Speed ​​Race, Green Onion Duck

Riding a tropical dragon, he headed to the competition venue with Yang Hao.

At this point, a considerable number of contestants and spectators had gathered at the competition venue.

"Because this is one of the few formal competitions in town, and it has a large following, the Pokémon Riding Race is one of the more influential events in town."

"In recent years, it has even shown a tendency to become the number one event."

Seeing that Su Yu didn't usually pay attention to these things, Yang Hao took the initiative to introduce them.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded, clearly understanding.

After all, this is one of the few competitions that everyone can participate in and everyone can enjoy watching.

Su Yu arrived at the contestant registration desk with a giant green onion duck. After registering, he received a number plate.

"Number 66? Pretty good number." Su Yu immediately attached it to the armored rhinoceros.

Just then, a Tauros that looked enormous happened to pass by. This Tauros was much stronger than its usual kind, and it was riding a Bisharp.

The onlookers also shouted:

"Look, it's Kentaro from the Minotaur Ranch in town! If I remember correctly, that's the ranch that won the championship last year."

"That Tauros looks really strong, it definitely weighs over 600 pounds, it should be the champion again this year."

Su Yu looked at the Tauros and once again showed a speechless expression.

Professor Oak, is this the Tauros you registered, which typically weighs around 88kg?

Your pictorial guide is way too inaccurate! The little yellow calf at the entrance of my hometown village is heavier than this one in your guide.

As it passed by Su Yu, the Commander of the Slashing Beast glanced down at the Farfetch'd and gave him a mocking look.

—Riding such a small caramel, do you really want to compete for the championship?

"Quack..." Upon seeing this, Farfetch'd immediately wanted to take a leek and go up to it to have a go, so it shoved the 1.8-meter-long leek directly into the other's face.

The armored rhinoceros is my best friend, you're not allowed to say that about it!

In the end, Su Yu stopped it and advised it:

"Alright, alright. The match is about to start, so let's stop causing trouble."

"You and the Ironclad Rhino are definitely no weaker than the opponent. Don't worry, I think you can definitely win."

Upon hearing this, the green onion duck calmed down.

After settling the giant green onion duck in, Su Yu handed it a bottle of fruit milk and then headed back to the audience seats along the exit route.

As Su Yu passed the guard post, he saw what appeared to be a group of people placing bets. Several of them said:

"I'm betting on Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse Ranch. I have inside information; they supposedly have a whole convoy. I'm betting on them to win!"

"I'm different. I'm rooting for Minotaur Ranch. Tauros will win!"

Upon hearing the names of these ranches, Su Yu fell silent. He searched the form for a long time before finally finding his own ranch.

"Su Yu Ranch..."

Compared to the other ranches, the name he chose is really lame; it's nowhere near as flashy as the others.

"Looks like I should rename the ranch."

Su Yu thought to himself.

Upon seeing Su Yu arrive, the shop owner asked:

"Want to place a bet, young man?"

"I can recommend a few popular ranches that are strong contenders for the championship in this competition!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yu shook his head and said:

"No, I want to buy [Su Yu Ranch], 20,000 Alliance Coins."

Su Yu immediately placed the highest bet in the shop. His own ranch had a pretty high odds of 1:6. That meant if he won first place, he'd take home 120,000 Alliance Coins.

The boss seemed taken aback when he heard this. He searched for a long time before finally finding the ranch on the form.

"Okay, Su Yu Ranch, right?"

"Young man, are you sure you want to buy this ranch?"

Twenty thousand Alliance Coins is not a small amount, so the shop owner kindly asked a question.

After all, this ranch was relatively unknown and not a strong contender in previous years. The owner really couldn't understand why they would buy it.

"Yes." Su Yu nodded, because I am the ranch owner of this ranch.

After receiving the order, Su Yu turned and returned to his seat. At this moment, the boss shook his head and said:

"What a strange person."

……

……

"Uh, you also placed bets on your own ranch?"

When Su Yu returned to the audience seats, Yang Hao happened to be holding the same betting slip as Su Yu. It seemed that he had also placed a bet.

Yang Hao laughed in response:

"Of course, I believe in your abilities. The Farfetch'd and the others will definitely be fine."

Meanwhile, on the track below, the runners from various ranches were already in position, waiting for the competition to begin.

A huge screen in the opposite stands also began broadcasting the players' progress. After all, this was a rare large-scale event, and it was definitely going to be connected to the television station for a town-wide broadcast.

A young host appeared in the bottom right corner of the screen, holding a microphone, and said:

"Alright, the reporter has sent back footage from the competition. Judging from the athletes' spirits, this year's competition is going to be fierce and exciting."

The screen slowly began to move, showing Dodrio, Mudstalker, and Buffalo among the participating Pokémon.

At this moment, the camera panned to Su Yu's Farfetch'd. It was calmly resting with its eyes closed, looking quite composed, which contrasted sharply with the other Pokémon around it that were preparing for battle.

"Hey! Is that a Farfetch'd? It has such a long leek, it looks really powerful."

The host also exclaimed in admiration.

Beside Farfetch'd stood a Weavile riding a mudsled; it seemed to be quite talkative. Seeing Farfetch'd's composure, the Weavile asked, somewhat puzzled:

"Nura?" Bro, are you asleep?

Bro, aren't you nervous?

If you don't speak, are you pretending to be an expert?

Green onion duck: ...

Weavile's three deadly questions left Farfetch'd completely unwilling to answer. And just then, the match was about to begin.

All the mount Pokémon assumed starting positions and charged off the starting line as soon as the starting gun fired.

"Wow, so many Pokémon starting together, that looks really spectacular!"

"It is said that this time, the number of participating teams in the speed race has reached 385, which means that the champion will be selected from these 385 teams, making the competition extremely fierce."

"I wonder who will ultimately win the championship?"

The commentator remarked as he watched the thick smoke billowing up as the runners started their race.

Meanwhile, Farfetch'd was still riding Rhyhorn, struggling amidst the pressure from a group of Pokémon.

It glanced at Tauros and Commando, who were already far ahead in the distance. The starting order for this competition was based on previous years' results.

As last year's champion, Tauros was naturally placed in the first row of the starting line. Farfetch'd wasn't so lucky; they were placed in the middle, surrounded by a bunch of Pokémon from other farms.

To catch up with Tauros, Farfetch'd and his friends will have to overcome all the obstacles in their path.
