Chapter 464

~6 min read 1,078 words

When the three Sinnoh Elite Four members were watching Qingyu's live broadcast and were shocked by the opponent he encountered.

Qingyu's expression at this time was also equally wonderful.

"Lorelei... Miss?"

After urgently retracting an unintentional remark, Qingyu's brows raised slightly, revealing an intriguing smile.

The beginning of the season is indeed mixed; I didn't expect to encounter this Ice-type Elite Four member from Kanto at the Advanced Ball rank.

Judging from the Trainer image in the game, Lorelei's appearance is a bit high if you say she is thirty.

But in reality...

Qingyu is not very good at detailing this aspect, but it can only be said that living in the ice and snow of the Sevii Islands all year round, and being an Ice-type Elite Four member, she indeed has quite an advantage in "age-freezing."

Although he had gradually become accustomed to matching opponents at the Gym Leader or even Elite Four level, this opponent clearly gave him a wave of intensity.

This is Lorelei; the ruthless character in the Kanto Elite Four who chased Lance and beat him, giving him psychological trauma.

Every one of the Kanto Elite Four is a monster when taken out alone, and their combat power is exaggerated; just look at their points in international competitions to know their level.

Although they are clearly better at wild battles with no rules where Trainers can also enter the field to join the battle, they still maintain the style of being ruthless in the Master rules, and are frequent visitors to the type Master Tournament.

In the Dragon-type Master Tournament, Lance showed his style; although he lost to Cynthia by a narrow margin, it was enough to prove his powerful strength.

【Teacher Yu matched with a "well-matched opponent" again; Lorelei's combat power is no joke...】

【The person above, don't sleep too soundly at night!】

【The Kanto Elite Four are indeed all monsters, but is our Teacher Yu an ordinary person? Didn't Lance lose to Teacher Yu's Bug-type relay team before!】

【I avoid her edge? Take my Sunny Day team!】

【Elite? Our Teacher Yu fights the elite; call Professor Oak to fight her!】

"... Too much, too much; these seniors are all very powerful, okay? It's very normal to have wins and losses in battles; don't recruit black for Teacher Yu!"

After glancing at the barrage, Qingyu immediately had cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Professor Oak in this world has already been confirmed as the holder of the "Battle Legend" title, one of the only two; in this case, using himself, a junior, to porcelain-match others is not putting himself on the fire to roast!

However—

"Relatively speaking, being able to match with Elite Four Lorelei can be considered a relatively good result; after all, the Sunny Day team is really very restraining to her Ice-type lineup."

Qingyu narrowed his eyes, and soon the Trainer image of the opponent disappeared, and the lineup she used appeared on the screen.

"Dewgong, Jynx, Cloyster, Slowking, Lapras, Mamoswine..."

Like most other Elite Four members, it is a pure single-type lineup.

But unfortunately, in Qingyu's view, the Ice type itself is not an excellent type.

Because although it is extremely lethal to many powerful Pokémon in the offensive end, especially restraining Dragon and Flying types, its performance in the defensive end is too dragging.

This also led to the fact that in the previous life's battles, many mainstream Pokémon could pull out some Ice moves, but Ice-type Pokémon were not common.

Everyone wants to learn a hand of Ice-type moves to supplement the blind spot, but doesn't want to be dragged down by it in defense.

Of course, unless you are a stat monster, then you really don't need defense.

Its status in battles is indeed a bit awkward.

However, because in most cases the Ice type will be bound to the Water type, it makes Qingyu's Sunny Day team not so restraining to her lineup.

Therefore, the balance that determines victory or defeat must eventually return to command and thinking.

And very coincidentally, Qingyu is very confident about this.

"I heard long ago that Kanto's Elite Four Lorelei and Agatha are both good at Perish Song; I don't know if I have the chance to see it today?"

Qingyu smiled, and after speaking, he decisively locked his starting Pokémon—

Torkoal!

"We don't need any hesitation here; just start with Torkoal; you can always trust the turtle."

"In the sunny day, the power of Water-type moves will be greatly reduced, so it can be almost ignored; instead, it is Lorelei who needs to think carefully about her opening."

【Teacher Yu didn't predict the opponent's opening this time; I thought I could see Teacher Yu use "Future Sight" again.】

【Sorry, the cheat expired today; I forgot to renew it for Teacher Yu~】

【Because the opponent is Lorelei, who is quite capable even at the Elite Four level, Teacher Yu couldn't predict it accurately, so he just used a conventional deployment?】

"Don't make up your own mind; after all, I'm going to teach you the gameplay of the Sunny Day team system today, so I will also play more formulaically."

In fact, it's not that Qingyu couldn't grasp the opponent, but that there was no need at all.

Even if he guessed it, what could he do? With his Sunny Day team already exposed, could he not use Torkoal at the start?

Sometimes this anti-routine does have a good effect, but if he lets these poor students who can't even play rotation well see it, and then they fumble around themselves...

I estimate that the "good review rate" of my Sunny Gym can still have some room for progress.

"However, I can still analyze the opponent's thinking for you."

He had no hesitation in choosing the opening, but Lorelei was still hesitating on the other side.

Therefore, in the gap while waiting for the battle to start, Qingyu quickly spoke again, his tone also carrying a hint of lightness.

"It is known that the Ice type Lorelei is good at is originally very difficult to fight the Sunny Day team, and there are no Pokémon in her team that can play a harassing role, so..."

"Will the core of victory become the competition for weather?"

"Compared to the Snow, which is of no help to the battle, perhaps the effect of the Rain would be better?"

Just as Qingyu finished speaking, the screen in front of him suddenly changed slightly.
