Chapter 644: The League has already decided, you will guard this year's Champion Road!

At first, the students watching aggressively thought that Teacher Yu had changed his nature today.

Perhaps because two months had passed and quite a few newcomers were still stuck in the "newbie village," Teacher Yu deliberately went easy on them, letting them go see the wider world outside.

Receive

Breakthrough the Sunshine Gym, it's today!

However...

Facts proved that they probably thought too much.

Because soon the students discovered that this was all a scam!

Teacher Yu seemed to have deliberately tricked them into coming in to kill them!

The first challenger's lineup was clearly prepared, very much countering the sandstorm team of the Sunshine Gym this week.

So the fact that they could finally get Teacher Yu's recognition, the students also felt it was very normal.

But the lineup of Tauros + Meowscarada, the vast majority of newcomers couldn't take out, so there was no way to replicate their playstyle one-to-one.

Especially after missing Meowscarada, which can use Flower Trick, the truly disgusting part of Sandaconda soon made the students' defenses break.

"Not a buddy, Teacher Yu, are you really treating us like aliens? Sand Veil Sandaconda is here too???"

"Minimize + Sand Veil, I can't see where this Sandaconda is hiding even with glasses on. If I want to use Body Slam to try my luck, I have to know its approximate location first..."

"Besides Flower Trick, are there any other moves that can find the opponent's location? So angry, don't newcomers who didn't choose the grass cat have human rights!"

"And that Hippowdon too, is sandstorm originally such a classy team? Or is it actually Teacher Yu's problem..."

After Monday ended, the discussion posts about the Sunshine Gym's brand-new tactics on the Naranja Academy forum were frantically refreshing, making many students feel the same way.

After all, before this, the sandstorm team they imagined and what Qingyu actually displayed really had a gap that was a bit too big.

With Tyranitar and Garchomp, these two powerful Pokémon, as the leaders, plus the terrifying speed and suppression power of Sand Rush Excadrill, the overall combat power of the sandstorm team should have been incomparably powerful.

Therefore, there was no need for any crooked ways; they just needed to use hard strength to achieve a fair and square victory.

Now it seems that when Qingyu was playing "Pokémon Champion" on the live stream before, he should have held back a bit and didn't use his "true level."

A classy tactic like Sand Veil Minimize Sandaconda, which doesn't know how to describe, can naturally use Body Slam-type moves to hit for sure and cause terrifying damage in the game, but reality is the exact opposite...

For example, the most common Body Slam, even if the attack range is indeed very wide, it can't cover the opponent's entire half of the field.

Therefore, under the cover of the sandstorm, many students actually didn't even know where Sandaconda was, let alone command their Pokémon to counterattack.

And even if this hurdle of Sandaconda could be cracked by "lock-on" moves like Flower Trick or Aura Sphere, there was another harsh instructor waiting for them—

Now walking towards you is the classiest existence in the sandstorm, the Hippowdon, the Wall of Sighs of the sandstorm team, who uses Yawn after starting the weather, scatters spikes and then Roar, and can even Slack Off when free, making students incomparably headache-ridden!

When Qingyu's Hippowdon finally put in all its effort, the students suddenly realized.

So that's it, is this the fundamental reason why Teacher Yu chose Hippowdon as the weather-setter instead of Tyranitar...

Compared to the crushing in stats, Teacher Yu seems to clearly pursue a kind of mental torture.

It's not that they can't beat it; in fact, there are quite a few solutions, such as Taunt, Encore, and other crowd-control moves.

But when they met for the first time, the students still felt the full malice from Teacher Yu.

Regarding this, a high-voted comment on the Naranja Academy forum evaluated it like this:

"Although compared to the crushing that makes people despair in stats, Teacher Yu's seemingly evenly matched battles where there is a chance to win every time are clearly more suitable for newcomers, but..."

"The price is that until you win, you must endure this unwillingness and turn it into the motivation to move forward!"

"Although this might also be Teacher Yu's painstaking efforts, I still want to say—"

"This is no longer ordinary classiness, must give a bad review!"

Clearly, the sandstorm team tactics given by the Sunshine Gym this time also made the "strategy group" of Team Star headache-ridden.

So much so that by Tuesday, students who hadn't obtained a standard solution through the "external brain" decided to stop for the time being, and the number of students coming to challenge this new tactic clearly declined.

As for the batch of "true fans" who still came to challenge the gym, most of them chose to pick a soft persimmon to pinch first, finding their feel first.

So, they turned their eyes to Mewtwo in unison.

I admit I can't beat Teacher Yu, but you, a Pokémon pretending to be a trainer, and just a gym apprentice, I can't beat you!

The performance of Mewtwo in the actual combat assessments of the previous two weeks was witnessed by all the students.

Although it must be admitted that this Pokémon called Mewtwo is very smart and has already begun to adapt to the identity of a trainer in a very short time, this is far from enough.

After all... after the tempering of the Sunshine Gym, the overall level of Paldean newcomers today has definitely undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before.

After walking out of the Sunshine Gym, they found that it was indeed sunshine outside, and it wasn't raining at all!

The degree of "underworld" of other gyms combined doesn't seem to have the classiness of any tactic Teacher Yu casually takes out...

Regarding this, the grateful students certainly need to "repay" well~

So Mewtwo, this gym apprentice, became their primary target for repaying Teacher Yu.

What we learned from Teacher Yu, we must repay you a hundredfold!

So, the students who were originally queuing up to challenge Teacher Yu started to queue up in long lines to challenge Mewtwo one by one.

Qingyu was naturally happy to see this.

Acting as a referee, he sat leisurely on the lawn, watching Mewtwo and the challengers who were fiercely clashing with a gratified expression.

These students don't seem to have realized yet that there is something called big data.

When they enjoy a gym experience completely different from the battle with themselves, Mewtwo is actually consciously learning their command styles during battles and constantly experimenting in subsequent challenges, gradually forming its own understanding.

And the materials they fed Mewtwo during the newbie period were somewhat... classy?

So, with the improvement of Mewtwo's trainer level, it has long since left the newbie period and is no longer the greenhorn who would be unilaterally crushed when Pokémon strength was comparable.

Even Qingyu couldn't help but smile with relief.

"Ninetales, Will-O-Wisp!"

"Ninetales, Encore!"

"Come back, Ninetales."

"Tangrowth, use Sleep Powder!"

Mewtwo's continuous and decisive commands quickly completely collapsed the opponent's psychological defense, making them want to cry.

What the hell is this!

Wasn't this gym apprentice named Mewtwo a greenhorn a few days ago? Even if it really has talent, it's impossible to learn to be bad from Teacher Yu so quickly, right?

It's fine that Teacher Yu's sandstorm team doesn't output; after all, there are indeed many ways to consume the opponent in sandstorm weather.

But what do you mean by playing so dirty with a sunny day team!

What is Ninetales starting with Will-O-Wisp, and then Encore to lock strengthening? Is this something you should learn?!

And that Tangrowth is even more heavyweight...

After taking a step ahead by relying on the Ye Lusu ability, all kinds of messy powder moves are thrown out like they don't cost money.

Teacher Yu reminded them to buy dust-proof goggles before; could it be that he was actually hinting at its tactics?

Just like this, relying on the rapid understanding of "Yu-style" tactics, Mewtwo not only won against several challengers in a row, washing away the humiliation of being unilaterally crushed by students before.

At the same time, its gradually perverted tactical style also made more students shrink back.

Are you kidding!

Your classiness is not much worse than Teacher Yu's. Who dares to battle you!

"That... I suddenly remembered I haven't called my roommate to get up today. I'll go back to Mesagoza first!"

"The weather forecast says it might snow heavily today, I'm going back to prepare for the New Year too!"

The students who were originally queuing up to challenge Mewtwo soon scattered like birds and beasts, and the lively Sunshine Gym suddenly became deserted.

"Why did they all leave?"

Mewtwo, who was originally standing on one side of the battle field waiting for the next challenger, saw this and subconsciously tilted its head, coming to Qingyu's side to ask.

"Nothing... maybe they feel their level is not enough and need to go back and practice more before they can fight you."

Qingyu shook his head and looked at Mewtwo with a smile.

"Fought well. It can be seen that you have made great progress. Among so many excellent newcomer trainers at Naranja Academy, it should be considered a relatively high level."

Sure enough, Mewtwo's learning ability is indeed very strong.

Although what it learned might be a bit crooked, but...

As a trainer, a tactic that can command Pokémon to win is a good tactic!

From being shocked by Mewtwo's tactical style at the beginning to gradually getting used to this change, Qingyu soon accepted this point.

After all, there are only so many trainers who can practice with Mewtwo. They all use underworld tactics learned from him or created by themselves to battle Mewtwo. It's reasonable to raise an incomparably classy Mewtwo by raising insects, right?

It's a bit dirty, but you tell me if it's useful!

Once Mewtwo can stand on its own, after coming into contact with other more excellent trainers whose tactics are more mature, those normal ordinary tactics should naturally be understood and integrated.

Should... right?
