Pokémon Researcher Road

Chapter 84 Challenge Xia Gan Road Hall (5)

Gyarados had an advantage at the start with its excellent bounce, which Guo Mei did not expect.

The match between the two was in a bay on Xiagan Island. It seemed that the wind and waves were not strong here, but in fact it was a meeting point of many ocean currents.Although the path of the game is not stipulated, it actually exists.Because only on that route can we use the power of ocean currents, and if we deviate from this route, we will be hindered by ocean currents and spend more effort.

Xuanjian and Gyarados already had some sailing experience, and they discovered this immediately after entering the water.So he gave up his plan to rush to the pole in a straight line and then return, and instead followed the strongest ocean current.Facts have proved that Xuanjian's choice is very correct. Because it is in the ocean current, the Gyarados swims very easily, and within sight, Xuanma found the vortex produced by the collision of several small ocean currents.If it is not protected by ocean currents, Gyarados will inevitably be weakened by these turbulent currents and eddies, and it will take more effort.

Guo Mei is much more familiar with this sea area than Xuanjian. Relying on her familiarity with ocean currents, Guo Mei directed Blastoise to change the ocean current many times like a car changing lanes, and took a shortcut to catch up with Xuanjian.However, Xuanma noticed that it was not so easy for the water arrow turtle to enter and break free from the ocean current many times, and the water arrow turtle was a little tired with its strong physical strength.

After entering the ocean current where Xuanjian was located, Guo Mei did not change lanes, but drove the water arrow tortoise to follow closely behind Xuanjian, and also advanced with the power of the ocean current, while letting the water arrow tortoise recover its strength.

"Good job, I didn't expect you to find the mystery so quickly." Guo Mei praised.This section of the road was relatively flat, and she didn't intend to overtake the Gyarados immediately, so she chatted with Xuanjian, "Actually, the special challenges are more interesting, because the trainers are all good. When doing the ordinary challenges, I feel like a nurse. I have to follow the rookies into the turbulent area to prevent them from going wrong. In the end, I have to pretend to overtake them, bring them back to the correct ocean current, and then decide whether to release the water based on their performance."

"So that's how it is," Xuan Jian nodded, "I said how many novice sailors can easily win the race. It turned out that it was because of your release of water."

"It's not all because of me," Guo Mei said. "Most elves that are suitable for sailing have an innate talent for sailing. They can make accurate judgments and choose the right path. As long as you choose the right elves, and the trainer doesn't make trouble, they will generally perform well. However, elves like Gyarados do not have the talent to judge ocean currents, and it will be more difficult for you to ride it. Have you done training in this area?"

Xuanjian nodded: "Well, since I decided to challenge the Xiagan Gymnasium, I have been riding the Gyarados all the way here, and I have accumulated some experience. But it is still much worse than you." Like just now, I can't do it by directing the water arrow turtle to cut through the constant switching of ocean currents.

"I'm so familiar with this water area, I can recognize the size and direction of the ocean current with my eyes closed, which you definitely can't do." Guo Mei said modestly, "But you are already very good, and it's rare for me to meet such a knowledgeable opponent. Today I want to have a good time!"

"Um, Ms. Guo Mei is merciful!" With the opponent's level just now, he obviously couldn't beat the opponent.

"It doesn't matter, I'll just put some water for you in the end!" Guo Mei said, "Do you know that this sea racing event actually came from the ancient sea knights. Each of them is a superb navigator, and they control the water spirits freely on the sea. Unfortunately, with the continuous development of technology, ships with better load and stability replaced the spirits, and this profession eventually disappeared."

"So it is!"

"Then, let me show you the demeanor of the sea knight!" Guo Mei's expression became serious in an instant, "Water Arrow Turtle, overtake it!"

After recovering some physical strength, the water arrow turtle immediately accelerated after hearing the order, and caught up with the Gyaradosaurus with an indomitable momentum.The Gyarados also accelerated immediately to prevent Blastoise from catching up, and the two sides immediately galloped together.

"Friendly reminder, the channel ahead is about to narrow!"

Xuan Jian took a closer look and found that different ocean currents have subtle differences in water quality and color, not to mention the creatures in them.Xuanma superimposes perception on the field of vision, and it is easy to distinguish many ocean currents according to the types and quantities of creatures in the ocean currents.Ahead, multiple ocean currents were colliding there. Although the ocean current they were in was very strong, it was weakened a lot by the impact of other ocean currents, and it was almost half thinner. For the two people who relied on this ocean current to move forward, it was the channel that Guo Mei said had narrowed!Undoubtedly, in this case, it will no longer be possible to drive together, and the two will definitely come one after the other.

The channel gradually narrowed, and the distance between the two Pokmon got closer and closer, and their bodies collided suddenly.Although the Gyarados is larger, the body of the Blastoise is undoubtedly harder, and the round body is more stable in the water, so after some collisions, it defeated the Gyarados and entered the narrowing ocean current first.Xuanjian could only follow behind her.

After continuing to swim for a while, the two were already close to the benchmark as the return point, but this is also a large ocean current meeting point, where various ocean currents are mixed, and the ocean current where the two were in before has also turned to the other direction. If you want to get close to the benchmark, you must forcibly pass through the area where various ocean currents converge and hedge.

"Look, this is the Sea Knight!" Ms. Guo Mei turned her head and said to Xuan Jian on the Gyarados, and then said to the Water Arrow Turtle, "Water Arrow Turtle, use Surf!"

As the order was issued, a sea wave surged up from the water, lifting the heavy body of the Blastoise up from the water surface. Compared with using it on land, the effect of using this trick in the water is undoubtedly more amazing.The sea wave did not end after lifting the water arrow turtle. Guo Mei manipulated the water arrow turtle to leave the ocean current it was in with the help of the waves and fall into a new ocean current. Then, she used surfing again. Under Guo Mei's exquisite control, her surfing skills borrowed power from multiple ocean currents to form a new ocean current. Holding the water arrow turtle, she continued to change directions and accelerate. She easily passed through the waters full of eddies and turbulent currents, and finally reached the benchmark position soon, and then started the return journey!With the cooperation of Guo Mei and Blastoise, the turbulent flow area, which would take a lot of time and physical strength, is almost like flat ground!
After seeing Guo Mei's exquisite operation, Xuanjian's blood was also ignited, and he put all distracting thoughts behind him. He only wanted to win, so he ordered Gyarados loudly: "We can't lose, Gyarados, we also use surfing!"

The tyrannosaurus swung its tail and set off a huge wave.Based on its experience with Xuanjian, it is not enough to use the water flow as delicately as Guo Mei and Water Arrow Turtle, but it also has its own methods.

Carried by the huge waves it set off, the Gyarados soared into the air, jumped over the turbulent area, and landed near the benchmark.Although such violent and barbaric methods are not as subtle as Guo Mei's, they are still very effective.But the trainer will suffer some hardships!The moment the Gyarados fell from the sky, its body broke through the sea surface, causing a large amount of water splashing, causing Xuanjian to grin his teeth, and then under the action of inertia, the Gyarados plunged into the sea. Fortunately, Xuanjian was prepared for this, otherwise he would have to choke hard.

Seeing Xuanjian passed through the turbulent area with ease, Guo Mei turned her head and gave it a thumbs up, and then continued to steer Blastoise forward.However, Xuanjian found that the speed of the other party had slowed down a lot. Although there was an obstacle effect of the ocean current on the return journey, the other party must have been releasing water!

"Gyarados, we don't want each other to release water, right!" Xuan Jian asked, touching the horns of the Gyarados.

Gyarados let out a roar in its throat, agreeing with Xuanjian's statement, how could it tolerate the opponent's release of water so that it could win the victory!Besides, the racing just now made it feel like its whole body was on fire. This feeling of galloping recklessly on the sea is really good and fits its character!
"Then, let's use that tactic!" Xuanjian said.The Gyarados uttered a cry to express its understanding, and then plunged into the sea with Xuanma, and disappeared on the surface of the sea.

"Hey, what are they going to do?" A question popped up in the hearts of everyone watching the battle with binoculars on the beach.

The answer will be revealed soon!With the help of the buoyancy generated by the dive, the Gyarados rushed out of the sea surface. When it was close to the water surface, it activated its surfing skills, pushed its body into the air, flew forward for a while, and then fell into the sea again.From a distance, it looks like a dolphin jumping forward.In this way, the resistance of the reverse ocean current to it is weakened to a minimum.The speed of the tyrannosaurus continued to increase, and it caught up with the water arrow turtle in the blink of an eye.

"Surprisingly, there is such a skill hidden!" Guo Mei looked at Xuan Jian who was passing by in surprise and said, this opponent is really satisfying! "Then Blastoise, we don't have to show mercy. Next, use the water jet!"

Hearing the trainer's order, the water arrow turtle immediately retracted its body into its shell, and then a stream of water surrounded its body, lifted it from the water surface, and then rushed straight to the end like a bullet.After the Blastoise activates its skills, it advances against the sea like a hovercraft. The high speed causes severe wind pressure to push away the waves in front. This way of advancing means that it has completely concentrated its energy on advancing and accelerating, leaving all judgments to the trainer.It would be nice for an ordinary trainer to stand firm without weak legs at such a high speed, but Guo Mei stood firmly on the back of the Water Arrow Turtle and issued accurate instructions to help the Water Arrow Turtle adjust its direction. She really deserves to be a sea knight!

"These two are too crazy!" Caesar couldn't help clicking his tongue as he watched the two rush towards the finish line.Both methods are very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will die!Duogui smiled lightly and did not speak. For Caesar, who became a nobleman, although he has suffered a lot, he still lacks the fighting spirit of the elites at the bottom.

"It's the first time I've seen my sister do this, it's so cool!" Ada exclaimed.

Guo Mei and Water Arrow Turtle, who used water jets, caught up with the Gyarados again, and at this time they were less than 100 meters away from the finish line, and the two sides entered the final sprint!
"Gyarados, use Leap after surfing!" Xuanma ordered when breaking through the sea again.These are the only two flying skills that the Gyarados can learn, and now they finally come in handy.

The Gyarados roared, and after using the surf to push its body up, it swung its tail, threw a gust of wind, and accelerated forward again under the influence of the wind.Flew from the air to the finish line.

"I'm going, are you planning to fly over directly?" Ada was also startled by Genma's actions, while Caesar was completely surprised and speechless.Only Duogui tightened his fists in worry and bit his lips tightly.

Seeing the movements of Xuanjian and Gyarados, Guo Mei also ordered: "Shuijiangui, speed up again."

Following Guo Mei's order, the water cannon on the back of the Water Arrow Turtle stretched out to help Guo Mei stabilize her body, and then fired a powerful water cannon from the tail, increasing the speed again with the help of the water cannon's thrust.The advancing wind pressure broke the sea, creating a row of waves.The two displayed their extreme high speed in different ways, and made the final sprint towards the finish line.

Watching the two gradually approaching the coast without slowing down at all, Ada woke up from the shock and shouted: "No, my sister is playing crazy, get ready to rescue!" The finish line is set in the shallows very close to the coast. With the performance of the two, they will definitely rush to the shore.Ada ran to one side and cleared the obstacles near the finish line, allowing Blastoise and Guo Mei enough space to slow down, and began to arrange some protective equipment.

"Come out, Ba Dahu." Before Xuanjian participated in the competition, Ba Dahu had been handed over to Duogui for temporary storage. In addition, Duogui and the elves are very familiar with each other, so it is not a problem to use the elves temporarily.

Before everyone could make more preparations, the two had already rushed over at extremely high speeds, one from the sky and the other from the ground, and both of them crossed the finish line at the same time at extremely high speeds.

"Water arrow turtle, the water cannon is slowing down."

"Gyarados, storm assisted landing."

After crossing the finish line, the trainers on both sides also knew that they were in a dangerous situation, so they took countermeasures and started to slow down.

The water arrow turtle's head and limbs protruded from the turtle shell again, and the limbs touched the ground. At the same time, water cannons were fired forward from the mouth and back, and the speed was slowed down with the help of recoil.And the Gyarados also roared, and a downward air wave blew up around its body, slowing down its descent.Ba Dahu also sent out his thoughts to help Xuanjian and Gyarados further reduce their speed.

However, the sprint speed of the two is too fast. Even though both sides have taken effective measures to reduce the speed a lot, the speed is still relatively fast.The water arrow turtle rushed directly to the beach, and set off a burst of sand and rain on the beach, making a deep indentation, and gliding for a long distance before stopping. Guo Mei flew out of the water arrow turtle's back due to inertia. Fortunately, Ada had the foresight to prepare to block the net.The Gyarados slammed heavily on the beach, making a big hole, and then passed out directly.Xuanjian also couldn't hold onto the Gyarados' body anymore under the violent vibration, and was thrown into the air. Fortunately, Ba Dahuo's quick eyes and hands assisted with his thoughts, so he was not injured!
