Chapter 640: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 321

But soon, Qingyu returned to a serious demeanor.

"Before the battle begins, Teacher Yu needs to remind you of one thing—"

"Unlike in the games, in actual combat, sandstorm weather will also interfere with the trainer's vision, creating obstacles for the battle."

"If possible, I suggest that all students coming to challenge the Sunshine Gym in these two weeks should prepare a few extra pairs of dust-proof goggles."

"Besides protecting your Pokémon from the sandstorm's erosion, you can use them yourselves as well."

After saying this, Qingyu was the first to take out a pair of dust-proof goggles from behind him and put them on his face.

The watching students looked at each other, and soon they all responded with action:

Run, run right now!

If Teacher Yu has given such an obvious hint and they still don't go back to Mesagoza to prepare thoroughly, wouldn't they just become negative examples again?

Under Qingyu's smiling gaze, even the first challenger soon silently raised their hand and asked in a low voice:

"Teacher Yu... can I go back and prepare for a bit too?"

"Please do~"

After watching the students leave, Qingyu still maintained a mysterious smile on his face.

【Teacher Yu, you're acting suspicious! It seems the students today are in for a treat...】

【Daily Question: Where exactly is the "sunshine" in Sunshine Gym?】

【Sandstorm team... Teacher Yu isn't going to use a stat-monster like Tyranitar to battle newcomers, right???】

"How is that possible? When have I ever used a stat-monster to fight you all?"

After taking a moment to glance at the comments, Qingyu shook his head immediately.

As everyone knows, as a dedicated Gym Leader, he has always made screening for excellent new trainers his primary goal.

Therefore, the strength of the borrowed assessment Pokémon is relatively average; even that Sniper Kingdra from before had only ordinary combat power.

Of course, the stats are balanced, but the lineup that changes every week can basically be considered a brand-new mechanism for the students.

Without knowing the details, it is indeed very easy to be defeated by a "first-sight kill."

As for whether he will use his main team to accept newcomers' challenges in the future... perhaps that depends on whether he can wait for a challenger with sufficient strength.

At the very least, he did promise Nemona back then that when she "returned as the King," he would send out his main team to have an all-out battle with her.

However, so far there has been no news of Nemona, and even Arven doesn't know her whereabouts.

So Qingyu can only wait for her to appear on her own.

Because most students have mount Pokémon like Cyclizar, the time required to travel back and forth from Cabo Poco and Mesagoza is not long.

Soon, the previous challengers hurried back.

Seeing that they were all fully armed, and besides the dust-proof goggles, they had all changed into thick clothes that could cover their bodies, Qingyu soon showed a satisfied smile.

Their awareness of protecting themselves is not bad...

Under Qingyu's encouraging gaze, the first challenger stepped forward, clutching a Poké Ball tightly in their hand.

"Teacher Yu, please go easy on me!"

"Please go easy on me."

After Qingyu nodded slightly, his expression soon returned to being serious.

"Then, let the battle begin!" ===== CHAPTER 642 =====
