Chapter 669: Too bad, it
"Hoo—"
After a difficult victory, Qing Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but also clearly showed a bit of unfinished business.
It's not just because the game between him and Lucian made him feel excited; after all, he hadn't experienced this quality of game before. Although the process was a bit tortuous, it was still very stable to take the victory in the end.
The main reason is that Lucian took out an item he hadn't imagined.
"Red Card Torkoal, interesting..."
Qing Yu couldn't help but let out
The appearance of the Red Card might have only stemmed from Lucian's flash of inspiration, but it allowed him to see some very subtle changes in strategy.
As a young Sinnoh Elite Four member, Lucian's acceptance of online battles was very high; this could be clearly felt from the changes in his lineup encountered twice in "Pokémon: Champion" during this period.
Therefore, the "Battle Underworld Tactics" that blew up from his side, after spreading in the Pokémon world for a period of time, finally began to significantly influence the thinking of these elite Trainers.
Of course, Qingyu had always known that there were likely many Gym Leaders and Elite Four members silently watching his stream in his broadcast room. Most of them didn't hide it either, often popping up to tip him some gifts as "tuition" for the knowledge they learned.
But this time was different.
Normally, Lucian's tactical style should be more focused on stability, relying on various changing moves of the Psychic type to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, thereby gradually achieving victory.
Yet today, Lucian made several very aggressive choices in a row, which completely didn't fit Qingyu's stereotype.
So after taking this Red Card Torkoal tactic of his, which was completely a gamble, even Qingyu, the opponent, wanted to applaud him and ask how he came up with it.
To be honest, the Red Card Torkoal tactic wasn't necessarily that practical; one could even say it was very rough, and even Lucian, the developer himself, didn't seem to have fully mastered it, but it did indeed leave Qingyu in a state of chaos for a while.
As for the reason, it was simple.
This was a tactic Lucian figured out himself, so when used for the first time, it would inevitably create a gap in information, catching the opponent off guard.
Being forced to switch out a key Pokémon in the team without any preparation would definitely cause many people's mental state to explode in actual combat.
Perhaps this set of tactics was something he prepared for the upcoming Psychic Master Tournament?
And Lucian's change also released a signal to Qingyu—
There were many elite Trainers who came to him to learn strategies, and it was only a matter of time before they stopped being confined to the basic tactics he taught after having an epiphany, and instead started researching unique tactics with their own characteristics.
Perhaps with Lucian today as a dividing line, the opponents he encounters next might also start bringing out more interesting tactics?
As for the quality of the tricks they present...
Qingyu wasn't sure, but at least he was looking forward to the new things he could encounter in the future.
However, looking at his somewhat subtle expression, the viewers in the broadcast room were also amused.
【To be honest, although Elite Four Lucian lost, he seems to be the first Trainer who could disgust Teacher Yu in return, right?】
【I suggest other high-ranked viewers learn from him and come up with more good routines that can also make Teacher Yu feel the quality!】
【Thinking of the scene where Teacher Yu and Lucian battle in the upcoming Psychic Master Tournament, where both sides might be disgusting each other, I can't help but laugh...】
【It's all Teacher Yu's fault for developing such underworld ideas; I feel like the entire battle environment is about to be ruined by Teacher Yu soon! (Sad)】
【Teacher Yu, this prosperous age is as you wish...】
After glancing at the comments, Qingyu realized that he seemed to have forgotten to notify his "loyal fans" about a few things.
Thus, after immediately restraining his gradually unrestrained smile, Qingyu quickly sat up straight, his face full of seriousness, and spoke to the camera:
"Speaking of which, there are a few more things to notify everyone about."
"The first one was mentioned during the last stream, but since students also brought it up, I'll repeat it again."
"I will also be participating in the Psychic Master Tournament at the end of March, so this should be the last stream of the entire month."
"After all, since it's my first time participating in a competition, and it's a Great Ball tier event, I really need to prepare well. The originally planned Snow Team will be put aside for now; let's deal with it after I return from the competition."
"Of course, the offline Gym Challenges will continue next week. The Victory Road is more than halfway through, so students in Paldea, keep working hard~"
Just as he said, regarding the results of this Master Tournament, Qingyu actually had no confidence in his heart at all.
In terms of tactical design and pre-match analysis alone, he was probably confident that he was a unique existence in this world; this could also be glimpsed from his guesses about other contestants in the Dragon Master Tournament.
But theoretical invincibility didn't mean practical invincibility; after all, this was also Qingyu's first time participating in an international competition, and in reality, he was still just a "newcomer."
According to the Pokémon League ranking system, besides the "Master Tournament" which is a Master Ball tier event held every four years, Great Ball events are the highest-level competitive matches.
Therefore, most of the participants in the Type Master Tournament are Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, and famous elite Trainers from various regions.
It couldn't be said that he had no experience battling Elite Four members, but this was indeed the first time Qingyu was playing a serious match.
Therefore, the synergy with Mewtwo and Indeedee before the start of the tournament was very important.
In the time leading up to the start of the Psychic Master Tournament, Qingyu's focus would also be placed on this aspect.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, the comments exploded.
【Ah? No way! If there's no Teacher Yu's stream to watch while eating on weekends in the future... I don't want a world like that!】
【Hiss—, if Teacher Yu hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten. Is this the level a newcomer Gym Leader should have? It's too exaggerated to go and play a Great Ball event in the first year of debut!】
【Although I don't know how Teacher Yu gathered enough Pokémon—I seem to recall that Teacher Yu shouldn't have any Psychic-type Pokémon in his hand—but I still hope Teacher Yu can win the championship and save face for the viewers in the broadcast room!】
【Go for it, Teacher Yu! If you lose, just come back and stream early~】
After a few seconds of shock, the viewers quickly recovered and sent their blessings one after another.
Although the replies he got weren't very serious, seeing these comments that were mostly encouraging, Qingyu still subconsciously showed a smile.
It was also at this moment that several "acquaintances" appeared one after another, appearing in the broadcast room in the form of tipping gifts and highlighted comments, making Qingyu, who noticed them, look stunned.
