The elf wanted to lie down, but I was forced to reach the peak of my life.

"Ah, let's keep this secret for now..." Xiaohui put his index finger on his mouth.

"Ah? What's so mysterious about it?" Yan Ming touched his head, unable to understand.

"Okay, I'm going to train for the competition. You should hurry up and sign up. Don't forget by accident, otherwise you won't have the chance to participate even if you want to." Xiaohui urged. At the same time, he prepared a shoulder bag and took Luochuan to the suburbs.

"Yan Ming is really reckless!" Luo Chuan also asked curiously, "Come to think of it, I don't know which three elves you used for the competition, Master."

"You can take a guess."

"Well," Luo Chuan pinched his chin and thought for a moment, "Among your Pokémon, the one that can be ridden is Houndoom! And the Warrior Eagle that can fly in the sky, and the only one that can swim in the water is Keldeo."

"My guess is wrong."

"What is that? Could it be that he has captured a new elf?" Luo Chuan couldn't figure it out. "Master, just tell me. Don't keep me in suspense."

"Hehe, I can tell you clearly that you didn't guess any of them correctly." The young man was quite confident.

"Huh? How is that possible?" Luo Chuan's mind went blank.

"Okay, you'll know later." Xiaohui smiled awkwardly and took Luochuan to the suburbs.

"Master, are you going to train here?" Luo Chuan looked around. The surrounding mountains and rivers are beautiful. It is a good place.

"I'm not the only one here. Yuheng is also here. Yan Ming should also come after he finishes signing up."

"Speaking of which, isn't Yan Ming's training time too little? Doesn't he still have to go to school?" Luo Chuan was a little concerned.

"No, I heard that the school will be closed for five days before the riding competition. After all, this is the most important competition in this town, and many students will also participate in the riding competition with the elves." Xiaohui explained patiently.

"Is that so? Then I feel relieved." Luo Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he saw someone waving at him not far away. "Master, Brother Yuheng is over there. Let's go over there."

……

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Xiaohui pulled Luochuan and ran all the way to Yuheng.

"I just arrived too." At this time, Yu Heng had already released the Windy Hound and was ready.

Before the two of them could even exchange a few words, Yan Ming arrived at the scene on his Qilinqi.

"Before we start practicing, there are still some things I need to tell you about. You need to pay attention to them in the official competition." Yan Ming said casually. Although this was his first time participating in an elf riding competition, he had watched his father compete many times and had accumulated a lot of experience.

"Go ahead and talk. I'm listening." Xiaohui smiled indifferently.

"Although riding competitions are fair competitions and organizers do not allow cheating, there are often athletes using unconventional means during competitions." Yan Ming said seriously, and it was obvious that he hated foul play.

"Some contestants will use dirty tricks in the competition, letting their Pokémon secretly attack other trainers, making them unable to continue to participate in the competition. This is still considered a light punishment. Some contestants may even suffer lifelong disabilities as a result."

Yan Ming sighed with an extremely serious tone. He had seen this kind of situation many times. His father had also suffered a lot of injuries due to other people's conspiracy when he was young.

"No way, if cheating is really like this, how can the competition go on? Will the officials do nothing about it?" Luo Chuan couldn't believe it. He was obviously too naive. After all, he was still a child.

Once a risky competition like this involves interests, its nature changes, and some contestants will resort to all kinds of tricks to win.

"The authorities can't do anything about it even if they want to. There's no way to monitor the entire competition. Some people will do anything to win. After all, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Human thinking is flexible, and cheating is impossible to prevent." Xiaohui naturally understood this.

"And Taiken's gang will also participate. Based on my understanding of them, they will definitely target you two during the competition, so you must be extra careful!" Yan Ming was very worried.

"Don't worry, I have my own ways to deal with those little tricks they play." Xiaohui was not panicked at all.

"In short, we should not have the intention to harm others, but we must also be on guard against others. During the competition, we must always pay attention to our opponents." Yu Heng concluded. He is very experienced in elf riding competitions.

In short, training matches can only allow everyone to become familiar with the rules and procedures of the game. The difficulty of formal competitions will increase by several levels. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and you never know when others will attack you.

"Okay, it's time to start training. These three are my participating elves!" In addition to Qilinqi who was present, Yan Ming released two more elves.

One is a cute snow-white sea lion of the water + ice type, and the other is a normal + flying type Pidgeot.

In addition to Arcanine, Yuheng's participating Pokémon is Charizard, which is a fire + flying type, and the other one is Lapras, which is a water + ice type.

“Laplace! It’s actually Laplace!” Luo Chuan yelled, his face flushed with excitement. “It’s actually an endangered elf. It’s super super rare!”

"I don't understand, what's wrong with Laplace? Doesn't he often appear on TV?" Yan Ming was stunned. After Luo Chuan said this, he also observed Laplace carefully.

"You don't understand this!" Luo Chuan explained proudly, showing off the information he learned from TV.

Lapras has a gentle personality and does not like fighting. It can carry humans and elves across the ocean. Due to its gentle and cute appearance, it is very popular among people. As a result, it was once hunted by humans in large numbers and is now on the verge of extinction. However, it is said that in the Alola region, Lapras has become a disaster due to over-protection.

Laplaces are intelligent and have a high IQ that can understand human language. Some Laplaces can even communicate with humans through telepathy. Laplaces communicate with each other through singing, passing information about water temperature and ocean currents to their companions in distant places. This method is faster and more accurate than radar.

"Laplace looks really beautiful!" Yan Ming couldn't help but praise.

"By the way, Master, where are your participating elves? What are they?" Luo Chuan asked excitedly.

"Me?" Xiaohui pointed at himself and said, "It's these three."

The boy threw out the elves. Luo Chuan was shocked when he saw it and subconsciously took a step back. "Master, these don't seem to be your elves..."

"What does it matter? As long as we can participate in the competition, isn't that enough?" Xiaohui didn't care. "They and I have a good relationship. We can go anywhere, no matter where we are."
