Chapter 107: Strongly Suggest Carrying Safety Goggles to Challenge the Gym

After being defeated so easily and quickly by Qingyu, Okamoto was already doubting life.

He was an elite trainer who had already stepped on half of the eight Gyms, a strong contender for the Champion title next year!

Now he was actually crushed by a Gym Leader he had never heard of before?

Is this right?

And in this battle that ended so fast, Scyther didn't make any mistakes, and its reaction completely kept up with his commands.

Then, is the problem with me?

But my commands shouldn't have any mistakes; it couldn't be that the gap between me and this Gym Leader Qingyu is so big that I can't feel it at all?

This is not scientific...

Just as Okamoto was doubting whether he was actually the short board in the team, Qingyu had already walked in front of him at some point.

"Using type effectiveness to seize the advantage in advance is quite commendable as a new trainer."

"But it looks like you should already have a certain amount of battle experience?"

"Every command is very decisive, and the judgment of the situation is basically correct; these are not things a newcomer can do."

"If you have higher requirements, your room for improvement is very large."

Okamoto looked up and happened to meet Qingyu's gentle smile.

He didn't expect that even though he had almost no power to fight back, this Gym Leader could still find some details to praise.

However, this kind of "suppress before praise" rhetoric, generally speaking, the turning point later is the key point.

Okamoto didn't speak, quietly waiting for Qingyu's next words.

He was also quite curious, how many shortcomings could he have in the eyes of this Gym Leader?

"Besides the targeted choices before the match, information processing during the battle is also a manifestation of the trainer's level; you still need to improve on this point."

Qingyu continued.

Observing the whole battle, the biggest problem with this classmate Okamoto was that he was too confident and didn't notice his various hints at all.

If he had thought about it seriously for a while, he could have made preparations in advance.

"And the understanding of type effectiveness is too stuck on the surface. Mature trainers often let Pokémon train other types of moves to cover blind spots, so you can't just consider the simple effectiveness relationship."

"And, the last and most important point—"

Qingyu paused halfway, making Okamoto cast a confused look subconsciously.

Why didn't he continue?

I saw Qingyu take two steps forward, came to Scyther, who was sleeping soundly on the floor, and pointed down.

"If Scyther also wants to become stronger, I suggest it's best to use some medicine to change the ability to Technician, so it's easier to adapt to the tactics after evolution."

Although the Steadfast ability is a rare hidden one, its impact on combat power is really too small.

If there are other better choices, it's best to change it.

And looking at this classmate Okamoto's breeding level, it's not bad; Scyther's evolution is sooner or later...

After evolving into Scizor, Steadfast will become the Light Metal ability, which is even more useless...

Of course, he was just making a suggestion; the specifics depend on the wishes of this classmate Okamoto and his Scyther.

"Ah?"

Being said so by Qingyu, Okamoto was stunned.

"Can Scyther actually evolve?"

"..."

Qingyu turned his head, met his clear eyes that didn't contain any impurities, and immediately confirmed that he really didn't know.

Retract the previous statement; you are purely a reckless person!

You are purely a reckless person!

"If you want to evolve, let Scyther carry a Metal Coat for a period of time. After adapting, you can use the communication function to evolve."

In the game, Scyther evolves after carrying a Metal Coat and trading online; the process in the real world is similar.

The mechanism principle of communication evolution is similar to simulating a special magnetic field, making it more convenient for some Pokémon that only evolve in specific scenes to evolve.

This matter is also recorded in Geeta's Breeding Notes.

In the special manga, Scyther was Geeta's first Pokémon, so the recorded content is very detailed, and even the evolution process was completely recorded.

It even recorded Geeta's own finishing move, using Slash to hit a Ghost-type Pokémon, the "sword technique that cuts invisible enemies"...

Is this the breeding power of the protagonist with a cheat?

"Oh, oh oh..."

Okamoto nodded repeatedly, almost taking out a notebook like Nemona to write down everything Qingyu said.

If he had some prejudice against this young Gym Leader before, then after listening to his analysis seriously, it was replaced by complete admiration.

Because he hit the nail on the head.

Coming to challenge the Gym, winning is indeed gratifying, but more importantly, being able to learn useful content from the Gym battle and point out the direction of progress.

In this regard, this Gym Leader Qingyu even surpassed all the Gym Leaders he had seen, and the concise content was full of dry goods.

Even the breeding direction was arranged clearly for him.

It was clearer than what the teachers at Naranja Academy said.

It can definitely be used in the next time!

With a head full of new knowledge, Okamoto ended his Gym battle satisfactorily.

He kept all of Gym Leader Qingyu's suggestions in mind, especially regarding Scyther's ability choice and evolution.

For this reason, he specifically checked the Pokédex.

Sure enough, as Qingyu said, Scyther can evolve into Scizor!

The type also became the more powerful Bug + Steel, which looked like an iron barrier that couldn't be broken at all.

Plus Scyther's already strong offensive ability...

Isn't that invincible?!

After going out, the first thing he did was take out the Rotom Phone uniformly equipped by the school and open the school forum.

"Strongly recommend all classmates to challenge the Sunny Gym in Los Platos!"

"This Gym Leader's strength is unquestionable, and his teaching ability is also outrageously strong. As long as you come to challenge, you will definitely get useful guidance!"

"It's a pity that the Gym rules say challengers can only challenge once a week, otherwise I really want to let the Gym Leader guide me again..."

"By the way, if you want to challenge the Gym, strongly suggest letting Pokémon carry Safety Goggles!"

Although the process of the Gym battle was a bit tortuous, the result was always good.

Okamoto felt it was necessary to let more students know about this treasure Gym; everyone improving together is the right way.

It's not because I've been rained on, so I have to trick others into coming out to lose face!

Starting with classmate Okamoto, ten challengers came to the Sunny Gym in one day. ===== CHAPTER 109 =====
