Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

In addition to Xiaozhi and Xiaomao's raft, there is also Wang Yao's raft by the river, and the sharp-toothed fish is responsible for towing the raft.

However, the raft driver was not Wang Yao, but a coward.

As for Wang Yao...he was waiting for the results of the competition at the entrance of the forest downstream, and was responsible for presenting prizes to the winners.

Of course, if the team of Cowardly Bug and Sharptooth Fish wins, there will be extra rewards. The naming rights of the base will still be decided by the victory or defeat of the two little brats.

It’s just that - if they ultimately lose to the coward, I don’t think the two little guys will be too happy.

"Eh~"

Since Wang Yao is not here, the refereeing job at the starting position will be temporarily taken over by Xiao Huoma.

"Hey!"

With a jet of flame spurting out into the sky!

Xiaomao and Xiaozhi quickly pushed the raft into the water!

"Come out! Magikarp!"

"Darling! It's all up to you!"

Both sides released their Magikarp at the same time, then quickly threw out the towing belt, with their respective Magikarp biting the rope and pulling the raft in front.

Because it flows downstream, this small river has only a few gentle bends and is not too turbulent.

So apart from the Magikarp responsible for pulling the boat, Satoshi and Shamoo only had a wooden paddle to control the direction and avoid hitting the river bank.

So the main competition is still about Magikarp’s speed and endurance!

"Gugu~"

The Magikarp flapped their tail fins and quickly pulled the raft downstream!

The little fire horse on the shore also trotted to catch up with the raft.

And what about the Cowardly Team? Why can't we see them?

Let's pull back...

What—the Cowardly Team is still pushing the raft on the shore!

"Gooji!"

The cowardly bug tried hard to push the raft into the water bit by bit, but with little success.

"profit……"

The sharp-toothed fish in the water looked extremely anxious.

"Guji..."

This raft is the same model as the one used by Xiaozhi and his friends, but it is really difficult for the cowardly bug to push it.

"Gooji!"

Seeing the anxious sharp-toothed fish in the water, the cowardly bug suddenly had an idea - just throw the tow rope to the sharp-toothed fish first!

Then the two Pokémon, one pushing on the shore and the other pulling underwater.

Finally, the heavy raft was pushed into the water.

"Gooji!"

【Go! 】

The coward jumped onto the raft and launched a charge slogan.

The Sharptooth Fish eagerly swung its tail. In terms of speed, it definitely didn't want to lose to the Magikarp!

……

"Speed ​​up! Magikarp!"

Xiaozhi sat cross-legged on the raft, paddling frantically with the paddle to control the direction!

"Hey! Xiaozhi, you are cheating!"

Xiao Mao, who refused to admit defeat, had no choice but to start paddling as well!

"Who said that! Rafting tests the rapport between the trainer and Pokémon!"

"This is how I truly cultivate Pokémon with my own hands!"

Xiaozhi, who will be able to teach the seed machine gun himself in the future, has his own twisted ideas.

"Even so! There's no way I can lose to you!"

Xiao Mao started paddling with all his might!

boom!

The two rafts are next to each other, one on the left and one on the right. With the joint efforts of Pokémon and trainers, the two are currently moving forward at the same pace.

"I won't lose here!"

Xiaozhi gritted his teeth and paddled hard.

In terms of brute strength... Although Xiaomao is taller, the strength that Xiaozhi gains from his wisdom is also not to be underestimated.

The two rafts chased each other, but they could never open up a gap of body length between them.

But soon! The two rafts next to each other came to the first big sharp bend of the stream!

Because of the turn, Xiaomao's raft on the inside of the river bend has an inherent advantage!

"I will definitely win!"

Xiao Mao did a tailspin, and the raft drifted close to the inner bay, taking advantage of the terrain to widen the gap with his rival!

“—Don’t even think about it!”

Xiaozhi simply dropped the oars, leaned out half of his body and grabbed the edge of Xiaomao's raft, forcibly slowing it down.

"Uncle said - this is a match without rules! You can win by interfering with your opponent!"

This time, Xiaozhi has evidence to rely on.

"Get away!"

Xiao Mao tried desperately to pull Xiao Zhi's hand away, but the raft shook and he lost his balance and had to sit down temporarily.

After Xiaomao's cornering advantage disappeared with this move, Xiaozhi immediately picked up the paddle again and started paddling with all his strength!

In just a moment, Xiaozhi's raft knocked away Xiaomao's raft that had stopped paddling, and then gradually left it behind!

"Idiot Xiao Mao! Hahaha! I'm definitely going to win this time!"

Xiaozhi, who was so proud of himself, turned around and made a face at Xiaomao.

“Aaaaaa——!”

Seeing a powerful enemy triumphant is more painful than killing yourself!

After being ridiculed, Xiao Mao sat firmly on the raft again, gathered all his strength and started paddling like crazy!

The surface of the river was instantly filled with splashes of water - Xiaomao's hands were almost leaving afterimages as he paddled!

"What--!"

Xiaozhi looked back and was shocked by the momentum!

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Xiaozhi also held on to the oars and tried his best not to be caught up.

But even though Xiaomao, who exerted his full strength, could not pull away from Xiaozhi's paddling speed for a while... there was still a gap between the two Magikarps!

Xiao Mao's Magikarp is naturally stronger!

So, even though both sides tried their best, Xiaomao's raft eventually surpassed Xiaozhi little by little.

"Follow me and drink some cold water! Hahahaha!"

Xiao Mao looked at Xiaozhi's raft, which had been left several meters behind, and finally felt relieved and started to taunt.

"Gooji!"

At this moment, Xiao Mao, who was looking back to mock, saw the raft of the Cowardly Bug Team.

Two waves were stirring around the unmanned raft, chasing after them at a speed far exceeding the two of them!

"Nani!"

Following Xiaomao's shocked gaze, Xiaozhi also looked back.

"There are two Pokémon pulling the raft together!"

Xiaozhi sensed something was wrong and paddled hard!

That’s right! The timid bug can swim very fast underwater too!

In order to make up for the time wasted in pushing the raft, it naturally has to go into the water to pull.

Although the Sharptooth Fish can swim very fast, its basic movement speed is actually not as fast as that of the Magikarp, and its acceleration characteristics need to be stimulated by swimming for a period of time.

Now is a good time to catch up!

"It happened!"

Even though Xiaozhi was paddling as hard as he could, he could only watch helplessly as the raft towed by the Chimp and the Sharptooth Fish passed by him!

"It's not that easy!"

Xiao Mao, who is in the lead, certainly doesn't want to lose to the coward.

boom--!

The two rafts collided with each other, one after the other, and the splashes of water soaked half of Xiao Mao's body.

Crash-!

In order to avoid being caught in the middle of a rear-end collision, the cowardly worms and sharp-toothed fish responsible for pulling had to dive into the water instantly.

On the raft in front, Xiao Mao paddled the oars to adjust the direction of the raft, firmly blocking the cowardly bugs behind him!

The river channel is about the width of three rafts placed side by side. Xiaomao's raft is in the middle to intercept. As long as the direction is slightly adjusted, it can block the cowardly bugs behind.

"Gooji!"

The cowardly bug that surfaced from the side of the raft looked angrily at this unsportsmanlike human child!

"This is the wisdom of a trainer!"

Feeling somewhat guilty, Xiao Mao looked away but still spoke stubbornly.

"good chance!"

Because the cowardly raft leaned to the right, in order to block the opponent, a gap was left on the left side of the river!

Xiaozhi chased after him and quickly commanded Magikarp to sail close to the shore!

Swish-!

Xiaozhi's raft was like a flash of lightning, instantly surpassing Xiaomao and Xiaoqiu who were still competing with each other.

"I am still the final winner!"

Xiaozhi has already declared victory in advance.
