Elven settlers

Chapter 202 Departure
The overall shape and structure of the saddle that Rock bought is a bit like the western saddle before he crossed.

And in terms of use and main users, it is also very similar to the western saddle, and it is designed to be suitable for the daily work needs of the ranch.

The whole saddle is mainly composed of pile heads, front and rear saddle bridges, seats, skirts, girdles, stirrups, pedals and other parts.

Among them, the pile head, the front and rear saddle bridges and the saddle bone wings connecting the saddle bridges are integrated, forming the inner core saddle bone of the whole saddle.

There are many materials for making saddle bones, and the most widely used is solid wood.The saddle of Geranium is made of a light alloy, so it is very strong while being light.

Since Rock bought the saddle according to the general size of the geranium, the curve design of the entire saddle bone fits the back structure of the geranium very well.

The pile head is an important part of the saddle, and it can be tied to the rope cover, which can play a great role in the daily work of the ranch.

Different from the western saddle, the pile head of Rock's saddle is a horizontal oval ring at the top, which can be used as a handle for holding when riding.

The main reason for this difference is that many saddles in the Pokémon world do not have bridles.So except for some riding spirits used for animal husbandry, basically most Pokémon saddles have a handle instead of a rein.

The elves are still very different from the horses before Rock's crossing. They have more emotions and higher intelligence. In addition, they are also at a higher level in terms of physical strength, psychological will, and status with the trainer. High dimensions, so they don't need any reins to control.

The handles on those saddles serve little purpose other than a place to hold on to, preventing them from falling off the elf's back.

Many saddle handles are directly in the shape of a bicycle or motorcycle handlebar.It is completely based on the comfort of elves and trainers, and there is no need to consider these aspects of riding skills or work practicality.

Most of the saddles in the Pokémon world are designed like this.

And the shape of the top of the pile like Rock's is a ring, which is already considered a relatively professional style.

Connected with the pile head at the lower end of the pile head is the thick front saddle bridge.It can effectively prevent the body from leaning forward and swaying left and right, and it can stabilize Rock's body well when Geranium stops suddenly, flashes and dives downhill.

The rear saddle bridge raised at a high angle also has the same effect, but it prevents the body from moving backwards, and can provide Rock with rear support and comfort.

Between the front and rear saddle bridges is the seat of the entire saddle. This place conforms to the ergonomic design, with a wide seat surface and reasonable unevenness, which can evenly disperse the weight of the human body.

There are also skirts, girdles and stirrups, all of which can protect Geranium and Rock and improve their comfort and stability when riding.

In these respects, Rock's saddle is similar to other saddles and has the same design concept.

Riding elves in the Pokémon world is a very mainstream way of travel, so the manufacturing process of various saddles is very mature and developed.

However, the so-called "riding" here is actually just a larger companion carrying a smaller companion on the road.

It's like before when the geranium was still a chrysanthemum leaf, Rock was holding it on the road, or riding a dragon on Rock's shoulders, judging from the definition of riding in the Pokémon world, it can be regarded as a kind of riding. ride.

So even if many trainers don't have any riding skills, they can still ride their Pokémon on the road.

Of course, if the trainer has certain riding skills, with a more professional saddle, it will make the elf run more easily and comfortably, and at the same time allow the elf to display a greater speed.

Just like the combination of Rock and Geranium, they are very smooth and happy when they run together.

"Gamma!"

Seeing that Rock finally took out his saddle, Geranium pressed his head against his body excitedly, urging him to quickly put the saddle on for himself.

"Okay, I'll put it on for you."

Rock first wiped Geranium's back with a towel to make sure there was no sweat and debris on its back, and then covered it with a soft and breathable saddle pad.

Then put the saddle on the saddle pad, adjust the position of the saddle, and at the same time slightly lift the saddle pad under the front saddle bridge to avoid stress on the Geranium's back muscles.

After checking that the pads and saddle were flat and in place, Rock tightened the girth.

Finally, he reassembled the geranium saddle bag to the saddle, and the whole saddle was finished.

"It's done."

As soon as the words fell, Geranium squeezed away from Rock impatiently, walked to the full-length mirror hanging on the tree when Rock was changing clothes just now, and took a picture with great vigor.

A good saddle is also a beautiful elf accessory, which can enhance the image of elves.

After wearing this exquisite saddle, the geranium did look even more handsome.

This made Abomon, Heluga, and Chenglong who were watching on the side feel a little envious, because the Pokémon saddle can only be worn by certain Pokémon that can be ridden.

Fortunately, they are not as beautiful as geraniums, so I just envy it and pass it.

"Haha, you look a little more handsome than me now."

Rock walked to Geranium and stood side by side with it, looked at their figures reflected in the mirror, and patted Geranium on the shoulder.

"Gamo~"

Having received the praise, Geranium raised her head happily, then walked left and right in front of the mirror, and after posing a few handsome poses, she was reluctantly pushed away by Rock.

"Okay, okay, don't take pictures, we have to set off today."

Rock checked the luggage again, and then put them into Geranium's saddle bag by category, and tied them into the straps.

Then I removed the mirror and sealed it together with some other items into the last box, and finally put all the tool boxes under the awning.

Looking back at the camp, everything was ready.

He put on an off-white linen cowboy hat, grabbed the ring handle of the geranium saddle with one hand, held Chenglong with the other hand, and stepped on the pedal with one foot to borrow strength, neatly He turned over and sat astride Geranium's back.

Sitting on the wide saddle that fits the hips, with both feet stepping on the "L" shaped pedals, a feeling of solidity and stability emerges spontaneously.

This is a different feeling from when Rock was riding before, he couldn't help sighing.

"Sure enough, it will be much more comfortable after having a saddle."

"Ga Mei"

Geranium also nodded in agreement.

The sky has gradually brightened without knowing it, and the warm sun rises from the east, dispelling the mist on the field.

"Let's go!"

Rock put the dragon ride between the seat and the front saddle bridge, held the handle of the saddle with both hands, and set off towards Sunshine Town with the elves in the golden morning light.
