Chapter 397 The Long-haired Troll and the Wool-horned Sheep

Aside from those who recklessly use special moves to ruin others' gaming experience, some players rush out first to become the cool ones leading the team.

"Charge, hairy troll!"

The long-haired troll carrying its trainer had its fur tightly bound together, which enhanced its muscle strength and gave it an advantage in the early stages of the race.

This change is similar to the "tighten belt" move used to defeat the Oni-throwing Oni, and can be understood as a kind of status-enhancing skill based on racial instinct.

A barrage of attacks came crashing down on the long-haired troll, something all the regular participants were well aware of.

Although I may not be the fastest runner, it's fine as long as everyone else runs slower than me.

Rocks falling from the sky block the way, and the earth undulates like waves—this is the effect of countless Pokémon using Dig.

But no one would use the earthquake in this situation; if they dared to use it, they would definitely be eliminated by the other contestants.

Of course, there is another possibility: besides the more blatant looters in the opening circle, there are some super-sixth-ranked players hiding in the team.

Not to mention that this competition was very simple, and the rules were even somewhat rudimentary.

Anyone can participate, provided they have no criminal record. This means there might be some small groups, such as those from the same hometown.

Whoever runs the fastest is the leader, and the others are responsible for dragging others down during the race, pulling down those competitors who are showing their talents.

Such a large-scale and chaotic competition truly requires a behemoth like the Marocomón Group to organize it perfectly.

If the organizers didn't have the capability, the chaos on stage alone would have been enough to give the director a hard time, let alone ensure that viewers who weren't there could see things clearly.

Even if some seeded players can be determined before the competition, if there are not enough camera positions and the staff is not experienced enough, what will be shown to the audience will definitely be a pile of dust that will make them shake their heads.

"Skinned trolls, it's time to show the results of our training!"

"Olon!"

The long-haired troll roared in response to its trainer, and the hair on its right arm clung to a distant boulder, taking off in a relay jump to instantly create a huge distance!

"A combo move developed by the trainer and the Pokémon has appeared!"

The already over-the-top host roared, "Besides their incredible physical strength, the hairy trolls' fur can also function like muscle fibers, allowing them to lock down their opponents with their immense power!"

"Of course, the message from the Pokémon Center in Motostoke also serves as a reminder: if you get tangled in the fur of a Grimmsnarl in the wild, please use a reasonable method to break free."

"Wuhu~"

The way it took off, much like Spider-Man, made both the long-haired troll and the trainer burst into laughter.

After learning the specific format and venue of the competition, he, like many other trainers, spent a lot of time training in the Wild Area.

If you get inspired, set up a tent and cook curry rice with other trainers. If you don't get inspired, go back to Hammerlocke or Motostoke and get some rest.

With the combined efforts of him and the long-haired troll, the results of their special training have come in, and he is now far ahead of the other contestants.

That means it's only in the Wild Area. If you do this in other places, you'll definitely get knocked down by wild Pokémon, or you'll crash into a building and make headlines.

Before landing, the hairy troll had already targeted another target, and the hair on its other arm was fired again.

shhhhh!

A powerful air blade came from behind, but the grizzly troll and the trainer grinned, letting the sharp flying-type attack strike the flying hair.

Do you want me to fall from mid-air and trip?

So young and hot!

Clang!

The Flying-type energy dissipated, but neither the troll nor the trainer fell. The "web" made of hair remained strong, showing no signs of wear.

The Scizor and its trainer behind them both changed their expressions. They had seen the long-haired troll before, but the sound of the air blade slashing was clearly wrong!

"Alright everyone, it's time for our most special feature: customization!"

The host laughed heartily: "The young man from Dance Town has his own unique understanding, and his modification data is now unlocked!"

"A piece of soft armor made of wire, secured by the hair of a long-haired troll—this is the modification direction this young man is heading!"

"The troll's naturally tough fur, combined with the light armor made of steel, greatly enhances its resistance to special attacks and makes it more stable when leaping!"

"Of course, if any trainers are participating with Cinderace, please note that if you are confident enough in your and your partner's abilities, you might want to try using Fireball to predict the location."

The trainers chasing behind immediately wanted to punch the host. They were already amazed that the Scizor's Air Blade could catch up with the Grimmsnarl.

Although flying-type skills inherently have the advantage of speed, and they also involve multiple attacks flying in consecutively for a wide-ranging, sweeping attack.

But everyone admitted they couldn't do it; in their eyes, that Scizor was already a top-tier creature.

As for the host's mention of predicting locations and using fireballs, do you think this is some kind of top-tier dodging technique training?

The images transmitted by the camera not only inspired the trainers of the long-haired trolls, but some of the more timid ones even decided not to go out at night.

Given the grizzly troll's face, if it suddenly appeared in front of people and Pokémon at night using this kind of behavior, it wouldn't be impossible for them to faint from fright.

Aside from the long-haired troll who temporarily played Spider-Man, the directionally challenged trainer riding a fluffy ram in the corner was quietly making a fortune.

It wasn't until this slightly smaller figure appeared that everyone noticed that this guy had unknowingly risen to second place.

Dan Emperor.

"Ah-chan, let's charge!"

The bleating of the woolly horned sheep sounded invincible at this moment, which shows that it cooperated quite well with Dan Di.

Clumps of wool flew precisely forward, and the woolly horned sheep landed perfectly on their own wool.

Whether you can make a boast so exaggerated it seems to fly is unknown.

But sheep can definitely fly.

With a calm gaze, Wooloo launched Leon into the air, each jump creating a significant distance between them and the trainers behind.

Excellent breeding levels give Woofy a strong physique, and the close bond between Woofy and its trainer in battle gives it a calm mindset and excellent target acquisition ability.

Both the man and the sheep wore specially made tactical goggles, a modification that Leon chose based on his friends' suggestions.

Lacking the ability to predict landing points and without any motion assistance programs, the tactical goggles are simple and straightforward, allowing Dan to move freely across vast open areas.

Give directions.

According to a dark-skinned rival who wished to remain anonymous, without this feature, Dan might have been able to lead the Woolhorn Sheep around the field a few times in the first half.

Not only are we going around in circles, but even after going around in circles, we might not be able to find the way!

When it comes to the words "competition" and "victory," Dan, just like Red, has an off-the-charts IQ and thinks Chibana's suggestion is absolutely brilliant.

"Meow!"

With a powerful push, the woolly sheep cracked the ground as it stomped past the woolly troll and its trainer, who were somewhat shocked to see the flying sheep, and successfully took the lead!

"Hairy Troll, Soul Impact!"

"Olon!"

The long-haired troll, its black fur shimmering with pink light, hurtled towards the woolly-horned sheep.

However, when the fist made of hair struck the woolly horned sheep, it bounced off as if it had touched a highly elastic gel, and the force of the rebound even made the woolly troll in the air stagger.

That was close! I almost lost my balance and fell!

"Attacks of that force are useless against my Akagi!"

Leon resisted the urge to take off his glasses, turn around, and give a thumbs up. Doing anything before being completely confident would be foolish, and he would end up like the Grimmsnarl and his trainer, with their opponents closing the gap.

Moreover, thanks to the force of the soul impact, the woolly horned sheep in mid-air increased its speed instead of decreasing, and didn't even need to use the wool springboard left below.

This sudden speed didn't even give other trainers time to make any tricks.

Although wool on the ground is easier to aim at, the woolly sheep seems to expend no energy when she scatters her wool, and the wool itself has excellent defensive capabilities.

They've prepared many landing spots, and it takes a lot of time to fight them, so overall it's a bad deal.

"That's not right!"

A trainer sitting on a bear suddenly exclaimed.

He saw a fleeting green light on the wool board.

"This is cotton's ultimate defensive tactic, only combined with wool from woolly-horned sheep!"

The special move of launching cotton outwards for defense is used as a springboard, meaning that the ball of wool is used as a defensive target.

This approach preserves the wool characteristics of Wooloo to the greatest extent possible, and also makes it difficult for other trainers' special moves to destroy the wool springboard.

A tiny prick, and the emperor is done.

It's not a free kill, it's a triple kill!

The logic is simple and straightforward, but there's no best way to disrupt it in the short term. Trying to sabotage someone else's springboard means you'll fall further behind.

Damn, are all the guys playing this fancy with breeding techniques?!

"Wow, Dandi from Hualang Town has shown us the charm of woolly horned sheep!"

The host, who was on a mission, naturally didn't hesitate to start flattering, after all, his own TV station was also a business of Marokomon, so who else would he flatter if not Dan!

It's hard to say about other things, but the resources that Rhodes gave to Leon were definitely on par with those of a favored son.

"A young man from a historic ranch town has developed a brand-new breeding method: the incredibly elastic wool of the woolly-horned sheep!"

"Starting from their Wooloo stage, these adorable Pokémon continuously grow wool. If they aren't groomed regularly, the rapidly growing wool can make Wooloo unable to move!"

"Perhaps some viewers don't know that wool from woolly sheep cannot be woven into carpets because its excellent elasticity would make the carpet feel like a spring mattress."

"Of course, if the wool of the woolly sheep is used to make a covered cloud trampoline park, its softness and strong safety performance will be the best guarantee for parents to have peace of mind."

"Come on, everyone, let's cheer for Dan!"

Even the less experienced trainers couldn't help but complain about the lack of sportsmanship in these fighting styles.

It was supposed to be a land-based racing game, and while having a Spider-Man was one thing, there was another guy who showed us what a terrifying bouncing sheep looks like.

So, Wooloo is a Pokémon with such potential?
