Chapter 441: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 206

It makes sense, but since Sylveon was discovered, research on other evolutionary forms hasn't yielded results for a long time.

In the game, Penny's team is composed of six Eevees of different evolutionary forms; she is a pure Eevee box-pusher, so it's not strange that she would use Umbreon.

However, why Umbreon of all things?

The arc of Qingyu's mouth lifted even more, and he took the initiative to ask before the battle started:

"Student Penny, why did you choose Umbreon as your starter?"

"Hmm?"

Penny, who was nervously preparing for the start of the battle, seemed not to have expected him to ask this, so after thinking for a moment, she quickly gave the answer:

"Because of intuition?"

"If I have to say it... since I already know that Whimsicott has the Prankster ability and its main fighting style is status move interference, then directly using a Dark-type Pokémon as a starter is the best choice, right?"

"Plus my Umbreon has learned Taunt, so Whimsicott can only fight head-on with itself, which poses no threat to me at all."

"Even if Whimsicott's Moonblast restrains Umbreon, it actually can't cause any effective damage."

After Penny finished speaking, she pushed the black-rimmed glasses on her face.

"I shouldn't be wrong, Teacher Qingyu?"

"Completely correct."

Qingyu smiled and nodded, while silently sighing in his heart:

Worthy of being a super hacker who learned on her own in the future and hacked the Alliance system; her brain is indeed better than other students.

Without needing me to spoil anything, she can sort out all the details herself and use them one by one; it's more reassuring to battle with such a genius!

【Hiss—, this challenger seems to be a tough nut; her ideas have even been acknowledged by Teacher Qingyu; it should be the standard answer for this assessment, right?】

【But everyone knows these contents; similar conclusions have already been reached in the assessments of these two weeks; it still depends on how the actual combat goes.】

【But don't you think... Teacher Qingyu's eyes when looking at her are a bit stringy; it feels like the challenger Teacher Qingyu is most satisfied with so far; even Kato, who was the first to pass this week, didn't have such treatment!】

【Could it be?】

From a bystander's perspective, one can indeed clearly feel Qingyu's satisfaction with this challenger.

However, everything still has to wait for the actual combat to know the result.

And after the simple conversation between the two, Penny also quickly returned to the battle state and decisively made the first-move command:

"Umbreon, Taunt!"

"Whimsicott, Moonblast."

Because of the conversation just now, both of them almost knew each other's ideas.

So Penny chose Taunt to start without hesitation, preemptively suppressing Whimsicott's influence.

Qingyu also quickly reacted and used Moonblast to counterattack.

However, because this Whimsicott hadn't been focused on training to use moves for output, the power was quite average even with attribute restraint.

For the thick-skinned Umbreon, it wasn't very fatal.

In the game, the base stats of all Eevee evolutionary forms are composed of the same string of numbers, and the best distribution is Umbreon.

The high values are all pointed at durability, making its slender figure actually full of power, and its durability is very outrageous.

Plus its slightly quality skill pool, it has a place in battles.

After withstanding the damage of Moonblast, Umbreon backhanded a set of quality finger-hooking actions, and the posture of Taunt quickly made Whimsicott lose its mind and be affected by the move.

Facing the Taunt of other Pokémon, maybe Qingyu could still use Taunt first to forcibly interrupt the opponent.

But Dark-type Pokémon react too keenly; the status moves quickly cast through Prankster can't escape their eyes at all, so it can't have any effect.

Can only eat this move hard.

And after Whimsicott was blocked by Taunt from all status moves, the choices left for Qingyu were obviously not many.

At this time, the most reasonable choice should be to use U-turn to retreat quickly.

However, out of consideration for continuing to examine Penny's level, Qingyu didn't command like that in the end, but repeated a sentence again:

"Whimsicott, Moonblast!"

Qingyu estimated it roughly; with the combat power of this Whimsicott of his, this second attack was still not enough to be fatal.

But after withstanding two attacks, Umbreon's physical strength would come to a relatively dangerous level and might be killed in seconds.

At this time, Penny's choice is very important.

Since we are talking about Umbreon, there is one move that must be learned.

"Umbreon, Moonlight!"

As Qingyu expected, Penny quickly made the command again.

Even without the priority bonus of Prankster, Whimsicott's own action speed is also very fast, grabbing the opportunity to use the move before Umbreon uses the move, blasting out Moonblast again, hitting the same position, making Umbreon feel pain and let out a muffled groan.

As he expected, it wasn't fatal but a bit dangerous, and it could be finished off at any time.

However...

The pained Umbreon quickly took a yellow fruit from its tail, and while biting it down, a relaxed expression quickly appeared on its face.

Obviously, the item it carried was a Sitrus Berry, which is a very normal match for Umbreon.

And immediately after, Umbreon quickly raised its head, looking at the moon that had almost disappeared under the sunlight.

As a favorite of the moon, it naturally has a special connection with the moon.

As the golden ring on Umbreon's head shone with light, gentle moonlight energy descended from the sky, quickly restoring all the damage it had just received.

Moonlight, like Morning Sun, is a recovery-type move similar to Recover, and it will be affected by the weather; the physical strength recovered in sunny weather will be significantly increased.

It is precisely by relying on this move that Umbreon's solid body can be exerted to the maximum extent and become "notorious."

As everyone knows, a single shield player is far from being able to disgust the opponent; it must have other unique skills to stand on the field and make a fuss.

And this kind of recovery move is basically the standard configuration of a defensive team.

As long as you can't break through the opponent directly, you will be repeatedly pulled by recovery moves, and in the end, you can't beat them to death, and you can only stare at each other...

Now it's just such a situation.

After the dual recovery effects of the Sitrus Berry and Moonlight, Umbreon, whose physical strength was originally precarious, recovered its vitality in one breath like a "medical miracle," and its physical strength almost returned to its peak state.

【??? Is this still a Gym challenge? Where did you bring me...】

【How come it feels like the opponent is also Teacher Qingyu's true biography, grabbing the opportunity is recovery and staying on the field; isn't this the idea of Teacher Qingyu playing Substitute-Protect-Toxic before?】

【After watching the battle between these two, I just want to ask where there is sunshine in this Sunny Gym; it's dark without a limit...】

【Umbreon? Dirty Eevee!】

Penny's move directly shocked many comments, but Qingyu didn't make any reaction, still maintaining a mysterious smile.

He really didn't guess wrong; Penny's understanding of Umbreon has something.

And Penny's counterattack next made Qingyu feel even more pleasantly surprised—

"Umbreon, Snarl!"

Seeing that Qingyu didn't make a move for a long time, Penny quickly and decisively commanded, shouting out the move that the audience in the broadcast room were very familiar with.

Snarl!

Although it was used by Umbreon, the most widely known user of this move is naturally a certain universe's number one shell-breaking Pokémon, the Tiger God from Alola!

Of course, Qingyu often uses it when live-streaming.

Umbreon's own combat power is very limited, and Dark-type moves are also very average against Whimsicott.

So this move obviously has another intention.

Through the violent roar that shocks the heart, the Pokémon affected by this move will temporarily weaken its ability to use energy moves.

That is, Special Attack -1.

Whimsicott's combat power was already very average; if it is affected by Snarl again, it can basically be determined that it poses no threat to Umbreon at all.

Next, relying on the almost unsolvable recovery ability, Penny can completely rely on Calm Mind to consolidate her advantages step by step, and finally raise a monster-like Umbreon.

And once it is strengthened, even Kilowattrel cannot be its opponent.

According to the Gym challenge rules, the Gym Leader side cannot actively switch Pokémon; obviously, Penny also penetrated this flaw, which is why she made such a choice.

The situation looks like it has entered an unsolvable situation.

But...

Qingyu smiled slightly, and after Umbreon accumulated energy to use Snarl, making Whimsicott hug itself in fear, he quickly counterattacked:

"Whimsicott, U-turn!"

In this week's Gym challenge, the number of times he used this move is actually very few.

And substitution-type moves, Qingyu can use them normally.

After Whimsicott attacked the opponent with a flying kick, it was quickly recalled by Qingyu.

Kilowattrel quickly appeared on the field, but this time it no longer had Tailwind as a reliance, and its speed was obviously not that fast. ===== CHAPTER 443 =====
