Chapter 677

"Teacher Yu has already been here just now?"

About an hour later, when Datenshi entered the hotel next to the Pokéathlon Dome and prepared to register for the competition, he noticed an extremely familiar name on the same page of paper.

Qingyu!

Therefore, he subconsciously asked Officer Jenny, who was acting as the staff member.

"Yes, Mr. Datenshi, your room is on the same floor as Teacher Yu. Perhaps you can visit Teacher Yu before the competition."

Officer Jenny nodded and suggested politely.

As everyone knows, because of some of Qingyu's videos, the two major families of Jenny and Joy are now die-hard fans of Teacher Yu.

So when Qingyu last appeared in the live broadcast some time ago, the wonderful battle between him and Datenshi also became a topic they talked about with relish.

And saying hello to a familiar trainer before the start of the competition seems to be the most normal behavior.

Regarding Officer Jenny's suggestion, Datenshi was silent for a moment, but still shook his head.

"No, let's forget it."

"I heard that Teacher Yu has been conducting special training recently. If I visit him now, I will more or less notice the Pokémon he specifically prepared for this competition."

"Although Teacher Yu probably wouldn't care, it's better to avoid such off-court factors that have already affected the battle."

After speaking, Datenshi walked into the elevator without looking back, carrying his luggage.

After entering the elevator, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Besides the considerations he just mentioned, there is actually a deeper reason that even he is not very willing to admit, which led him to finally not dare to take the first step to meet Qingyu offline first.

The reason is simple, even a bit metaphysical:

Ever since it was confirmed that Teacher Yu would participate in the Psychic Master Tournament, he has had a faint premonition—

Perhaps, Teacher Yu will become the biggest dark horse of this Master Tournament?

Although he doesn't know the reason, as a psychic, his sixth sense has always been very accurate and has a certain degree of credibility.

Therefore, if he sees any Pokémon that he can't think of a way to deal with before the competition, maybe it will be himself who will have a mental breakdown first.

This is the fundamental reason for Datenshi's hesitation.

"Previously, in the 'Talking about Myths' series of videos, Teacher Yu seemed to be very intimate with Mew."

During the ascent of the elevator, Datenshi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Thinking that he might be about to face a legendary existence, Datenshi couldn't help but feel a chill down his back.

Although Legendary Pokémon are rare, there are not no cases of participating in competitions.

For example, the two Urshifu recognized by the official as Legendary Pokémon are the absolute main force of the Galar battle legend Mustard.

Master Mustard can reign as champion in Galar for many years, and even shine in the Master Tournament. Besides his own level being strong enough, the strength of the Pokémon is also unquestionable.

"However, no matter what, is it a bit too exaggerated to use Mew to fight in a competition..."

"That is an existence that can theoretically learn all Pokémon moves and has an absolutely perfect skill pool. Coupled with Qingyu's command ability, even the Master Tournament would have the power to fight, right?"

"No, it seems that Mew only needs to use Imprison, and other Pokémon will not be able to use any moves at all, and can only struggle on the spot..."

Thinking of this, Datenshi immediately shook his head, not letting himself continue to think about it.

"Being able to tame a legend is itself the best proof of strength, so I admit defeat if I lose!"

"Moreover, Teacher Yu cannot be regarded as an ordinary trainer at all. All I can do is try my best to prepare and use the mentality of a challenger to fight against his currently completely unknown Pokémon."

Actually, what Datenshi doesn't know is...

Besides him, the contestants of this session also have a more or less ominous premonition.

As for the reason, perhaps only Sabrina, who knows about Mewtwo's existence and is also a contestant, knows.

"Sure enough, judging from the observed fragments of the future, at least Mew will not appear on the stage of this Psychic Master Tournament."

Sabrina, who had also entered her room to rest, ended her "sixth sense" as a psychic, or rather, after foreseeing the future, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the combination of Mewtwo + Mew appeared on the field, I'm afraid it would instantly explode in popularity, but at the same time, it would also make other contestants like them feel deeply desperate...

However, fortunately, Teacher Yu can be considered "showing mercy," and only chose Mewtwo, who is still in a growth state.

In this way...

"Defeating Teacher Yu is difficult, but it doesn't seem impossible."

Sabrina couldn't help but think so in her heart, and quickly shook her head again.

"No, you can't think like this."

"After all, it is a battle with Qingyu. Even if I lose, I have no psychological burden. I just need to show myself."

"Not being too obsessed with winning or losing is also an inspiration from fate."

At the same time, in a large villa on the outskirts of Goldenrod City.

"Hey, Cynthia, didn't you say you were coming to the Psychic Master Tournament venue to cheer for me? If you have arrived, do you want to go shopping together today?"

"Oh... so you still have work, and you can only come over tomorrow, Saturday. You've really worked hard!"

"Then what about tomorrow? Before the Master Tournament starts tomorrow, how about we go shopping for a long-lost time? I heard that Goldenrod City has very distinctive flavored ice cream!"

"Ah??? You have already made an appointment with Qingyu to go to the arcade to relax?"

"Then what about the evening? Oh, are you going to discuss tactics with Qingyu..."

"Ahahaha... that's true, after all, Qingyu helped you a lot last time, it's time to repay this favor..."

"I understand, of course I understand."

"..."

"Okay, then I won't disturb your work."

"Mm-hmm, see you the day after tomorrow, goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, a certain blonde loser showed an unwilling and humiliated expression, and even the soft bed under her began to tremble.

"Goo..."

Caitlin gritted her teeth, trying hard not to let the psychic power gradually surging in her body be released at will.

"Hoo—"

After several deep breaths in a row, Caitlin finally calmed down a little.

"I'm not angry, I'm definitely not angry..."

"Whether it's Cynthia or Qingyu, both of them are big pigs, and they are not worth getting angry at all!"

After quickly convincing herself to calm down, Caitlin immediately shifted her attention from Cynthia's words just now to the opponents of this Psychic Master Tournament.

After skipping other opponents who were completely irrelevant, a name that made her expression complicated quickly appeared in her heart.

Qingyu!

"Although I don't know what Qingyu is thinking, that he would suddenly announce his participation in the Psychic Master Tournament, but..."

"It's a good thing that he can participate, it just gave me a chance to meet him in an official competition."

"By the way, let's also settle the damage he and Cynthia have caused me over the past six months!"

"This time, I will let you see how terrifying the strength of the Battle Frontier Brain is when they get serious!"

Thinking of this, Caitlin couldn't help but show a confident smile, and her mood also became much better.

If it were any other type, she wouldn't be so confident that she could win against Qingyu, and it would even be almost impossible for her to participate.

Only Psychic is the type she is best at. In this regard, as a psychic, she naturally has a huge advantage.

It is no exaggeration to say that with her current strength, taking the Elite Four seat in Unova is already a sure thing, but it just needs to wait for the annual seat challenge.

Elite Four fighting a Gym Leader, the understanding of the type is completely not on the same level. Is there any possibility of me losing?

Of course impossible, not at all!

Even if the tournament rules don't allow trainers to use psychic power, it's the same!

Just thinking about Cynthia's surprised or astonished gaze after I win against Qingyu on the battle field, Caitlin is already high!

So...

"Wait to die, Qingyu!"

For some reason, although she is a psychic, when speaking, Caitlin's body clearly carried some black gas.

"Hee hee, for Cynthia, I must win!"

"Achoo—!"

Qingyu, who was resting with his eyes closed in the room, suddenly sneezed, so he muttered in a low voice.

"Is it a bit unacclimatized, or is someone secretly scolding me?"

"However, it seems that there are also sayings that psychics are related to supernatural events, so they are frequent visitors in urban legends."

"Could it be that some psychic nearby is thinking of me?"

"Seems even weirder..."

Qingyu, who was a bit confused, quickly gave up thinking about this question and turned his gaze to the partners who were training in the Pokémon room.

The Pokémon are all working hard, and I also have to sort out my thoughts!

Qingyu quickly threw other distracting thoughts behind him and picked up a small booklet printed with the process of this tournament from the bedside table.

"Similar to the Dragon-type Master Tournament, before entering the knockout stage, you have to fight five rounds in the group stage to finally get the ticket to the top eight."

At that time, as a spectator, watching Cynthia play the group stage was simply a fish pond game. One Pokémon sweeping three was simply not too easy.

However, when it was his turn to act, he realized that this was not a very simple thing.

First of all, it is necessary to consider the differences in types. Dragon types restrain each other, while Psychic types resist each other.

Therefore, if you want to sweep three, you can basically only rely on that Pokémon other than the Psychic type.

And in the schedule planning of the group stage, the first three games are randomly drawn, and it is highly likely to encounter contestants with relatively average strength, and you can't expose too much strength.

If you win all, the last two battles will likely encounter hard bones, and the focus of tactics will undoubtedly be on them.

Compared to the group stage, this tournament format seems to be more inclined to the Swiss system.

After thinking for a while, Qingyu quickly had an idea in his heart—

In that case, then the starters for the first three games will all be left to Lucario.

If it can stably sweep three, it can also retain more trump cards and catch the opponent off guard at the critical moment.
