Chapter 672: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 341

~11 min read 2,019 words

The video played halfway through, and seeing Qingyu's first battle as an example end, Mewtwo decisively pressed pause, while also noticing his opponent this time.

According to online intelligence, Wusong should be one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Sinnoh region, with strength among trainers considered top-tier.

And more importantly, the attribute he specializes in is also Psychic.

That is to say……

"This time, Qingyu wants to participate in the Psychic Master Tournament, so his opponent should also be him?"

Regarding how strong trainers skilled in using Psychic abilities are, Mewtwo truly has a fairly good understanding.

After all, at that time he had also seen the battle style of Miss Naji.

If the battle mode is wild fighting, then her individual strength alone is enough to easily counter a normal trainer's team, let alone she can also rely on Psychic abilities to enhance her own Pokémon, further boosting combat power.

Taking Naji as a reference, every battle should be quite difficult.

Even if the tournament rules seem to not allow trainers to use this special ability, their Pokémon will not be weak.

Before the Master Tournament officially begins, having prior knowledge of the opponents they will face next is obviously also an important part of pre-tournament preparation.

So, Mewtwo quickly moved the progress bar back again and carefully observed Wusong's battle strategy.

"Wusong's skilled team should be the Space Team?"

"But there is also the Sunny Day Team tactic integrated with space tactics……also worth focusing on."

"Fortunately, Qingyu had already roughly explained the core ideas of these two tactics before, so when we encounter them later, we should also have expectations."

Thinking of this, Mewtwo silently took out paper and pen from the bedside, curled up in the blankets, and began recording his behavior.

Qingyu once said that every trainer has their own tactical style.

So, as long as we can anticipate their thoughts, we will naturally gain an advantage when the battle begins.

And in actual combat, besides the trainer themselves, its on-the-spot reaction is also equally important.

In order for Qingyu to achieve a good ranking and not disappoint his expectations, I still need to work harder!

……

In the following days, Qingyu, besides continuing to fulfill his duties as the Gym Leader, spent most of his time training with his companions.

The main targets were naturally this time's main force, Mewtwo and Aiguan Shi.

Regarding Mewtwo's training plan, Qingyu indeed had no good arrangements, so it mainly focused on meditation and practical application of Psychic abilities.

Speaking of Mewtwo, its ultimate move is theoretically a technique only it can learn: "Psychic Break."

The principle is similar to the Mental Shock that most Psychic-type Pokémon can learn, but the power is significantly increased due to Mewtwo's special nature.

Using its powerful Psychic ability, compressing mental force to almost a substantive state, and blasting it out in one breath, the effect is no less than withstanding a full-force charge from a Kentauros.

Therefore, although it is a special attack move, it has very high demands on the opponent's defense.

Without understanding this point beforehand, it is very likely to produce decent results.

Around this move, Mewtwo's special training quietly began.

"Boom——!"

After another Psychic Break that left marks on the sea surface was blasted out, even Mewtwo at this moment was somewhat out of breath, obviously the ultimate move still consumes a lot of its stamina.

Qingyu then silently observed the trajectory of this psychic energy and secretly measured its travel distance in his heart.

As for the Magikarp and Aggron underwater, they seemed to have already grown accustomed to such commotion, early on diving into deeper waters and disappearing from sight.

Until the energy finally could no longer be sustained, stagnating on the water surface and rapidly dissipating, Qingyu then nodded satisfactorily.

"It should have broken the record, it seems our guess was correct, shaping psychic energy into other forms indeed has a significant impact on its destructive power."

When initially using Psychic Break, Mewtwo's attack method mainly focused on brute force, relying purely on energy pressure to blast out massive water splashes on the water surface, the destructive power seeming astonishing, but in reality the energy was too dispersed, basically only able to serve the purpose of physically blasting fish.

Therefore, based on moves like Psychic Blade and Sacred Sword, Qingyu came up with the idea of changing the energy's form.

From the results, the effect was still quite good.

If wanting to attack more targets, Mewtwo's previous usage method is of course fine.

But in a 1v1 situation, concentrating psychic force at a single point and launching an attack similar to Psychic Blade would obviously be more effective.

"I understand."

Mewtwo nodded, and under Qingyu's gesture, immediately sat down to meditate and recover stamina.

"Lucario……"

Lucario, who was also observing nearby and incidentally completing today's training quota, fell into thought.

Theoretically, Aura Sphere is also transformed from pure Aura energy.

So, could the Aura Sphere I launch also, like Mewtwo's Psychic release, achieve similar effects through changes in energy usage?

Worth a try!

Thinking this, Lucario couldn't help but stop his own actions, imitating Mewtwo's posture by sitting cross-legged and beginning to meditate.

The body needs to be strong, and the use of Aura power also needs to keep up, only then can one be considered complete!

Qingyu did not notice Lucario beside him; at this moment he was looking ahead, gazing at the endless South Paldea Sea, and couldn't help but think——

Fortunately, there was the prior lesson from the Dragon Star Group, which prevented Mewtwo from practicing this move in the Gym!

Because the destructive power of Psychic Break is too strong, these days while practicing this move, Qingyu has been taking it to nearby sea areas for special training.

Fortunately, Xiaoqi Town is located in southern Paldea, and further south a distance away lies the vast ocean, naturally providing him a venue to experiment with high-power moves, very convenient.

As for negative impacts……

It can only be said that in the past few days, when Mewtwo was still unskilled, the number of times Magikarp in the ocean used the Splash move increased significantly, perhaps also helping their future evolution into Gyarados?

……Probably!

The moves Mewtwo can actually learn are quite many; although various attribute attack moves may not have high power, as补盲 choices they might turn out to be decisive when needed.

As for support moves……there are also quite many.

But these moves seem to not require Qingyu to teach them; Mewtwo himself learned them at some unknown time.

Including but not limited to Immobilization, Self-Regeneration, Strange Light, Electromagnetic Waves, Sealing, Provocation, and Will-o'-the-Wisp, even Trick Space can be freely used.

I don't remember teaching it these, could it be that Mewtwo is just naturally gifted?

Qing Yu secretly shook his head, then turned his gaze to the other side, where another figure was also meditating, face grim — the meddlesome caretaker sister.

Compared to Mewtwo, this little guy is obviously much purer.

Although the awakening of its internal potential has made its use of psychic abilities gradually proficient, for some reason, the meddlesome caretaker sister still cannot perform moves like Area Wide Power or Mental Noise.

As a pure support, its move pool is actually fine.

However, I don't know if it's to keep staying at the Sunshine Gym, but the meddlesome caretaker sister seems to hold herself to very high standards.

Although Qing Yu also said he didn't need it to work so hard, everyone has long treated the meddlesome caretaker sister as an indispensable member of the gym, yet it still insists on its own idea.

Qing Yu could only smile helplessly at this.

Compared to that loafer in the gym who just eats, drinks, and sleeps all day, the meddlesome caretaker sister's awareness is terrifyingly high!

That's right, I'm talking about you, Hakimi!

But unfortunately, just as students can't catch up no matter how hard they try in a short time, the meddlesome caretaker sister's diligence seems not to have brought rich rewards.

Even after watching many move machines diligently, aside from the most basic telekinesis moves that many psychic Pokémon are born with, it hasn't learned a single more advanced move.

Even for Mewtwo, whose psychic usage has become instinctive, it can't help much in this regard.

Qing Yu also has no solution for this.

For now, let Mewtwo take the lead, and let the meddlesome caretaker sister also learn and try alongside.

Perhaps it's precisely because Mewtwo was born with psychic mastery, having no learning process at all, so it's not suited to be a good teacher?

Qing Yu secretly had a suspicion.

But… where can we find a teacher who can teach the meddlesome caretaker sister to master psychic abilities?

This problem has troubled Qing Yu for several days.

But soon, this "good teacher" meeting the conditions appeared on its own.

……

In the evening, when Qing Yu brought Mewtwo back to the gym, the guardian Pokémon responsible for welcoming student challenges had just finished work.

Just as the meddlesome caretaker sister was, as usual, preparing to return to the kitchen to make dinner, Qing Yu suddenly noticed the gym seemed to have an "uninvited guest."

"Mieu..."

Qing Yu's gaze fell on the living room sofa, where a pink-skinned kitten with its tail raised in the air, swaying, lay sprawled in the center, sleeping soundly.

It occasionally let out an unconscious murmur.

Appeared, the Sunshine Gym's irregularly refreshing mascot!

Upon seeing Mew, Qing Yu's face unconsciously showed a helpless smile.

This guy must have come to the gym, found everyone absent, no one to play with, so to skip the boring wait, just flopped down and slept, waiting for me to return and wake it up?

Given Mew's personality, this is highly likely.

Just as Qing Yu stepped forward to wake this little guy, his steps suddenly paused, and he instinctively turned his head toward the kitchen where the meddlesome caretaker sister was.

Oh right, isn't Mew just the best move learning machine?

As possibly the oldest Pokémon, after years of wandering the streets, what move hasn't it seen...

Moreover, in using moves, Mew's Xindeti Society is obviously incomparable to the newborn Mewtwo.

So I just need to find a way to fool… persuade it, and that'll do!

Qing Yu quickly stepped forward again, reaching out to gently pat Mew's little head.

"Wake up, Mew."

They say feline animals are very alert, so why do both Mew and Sylveon seem to have zero vigilance when asleep?

Maybe it's because the Sunshine Gym is just too safe?

"Mieu...?"

After being woken by Qing Yu's voice, Mew slowly stirred awake, dazedly opening its eyes, while simultaneously extending its pair of short arms to rub its eyes.

But soon, its expression turned to unease — 【104】 Normally, Qing Yu's way of waking me shouldn't be this gentle, right?

Normally, Qing Yu's way of waking himself up shouldn't be this gentle, right?

Given Mew's understanding of Qing Yu...

Something's off, very off!

Mew's gaze quickly became suspicious, floating in midair, carefully scrutinizing Qing Yu.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, today I took the Pokémon to the seaside, so I completely didn't notice you had already come over."

Qing Yu didn't mind this, and spoke up to explain.

"Mieu..."

Mew quickly sighed in relief.

What, so it's because I left you hanging for a while and felt guilty?

Human emotions are really easy to understand!

For this, the generous Mew my lord quickly flew forward, patted Qing Yu's shoulder, indicating it didn't mind.

Anyway, when I'm bored in the World Tree, I just sleep anyway — where I sleep doesn't matter!

However, Qing Yu's words weren't finished yet.

After seeing Mew return to its usual expression, he secretly laughed, then calmly spoke:

"It's like this, in the coming period I will bring Mewtwo and the meddlesome caretaker sister to participate in a competition, so I might not have time to entertain you~"

"Mieu?"

Upon hearing Qing Yu's words, Mew's smile instantly froze, replaced by a confused little gaze.
