Chapter 687

After a battle ended easily, the Pokéathlon Dome was silent for a few seconds, and then immediately erupted into a tsunami-like loud cheering.

"It is worthy of being Teacher Yu! Swept three in the first round, let other regions also take a good look at the strength of our Paldea!"

"I somehow feel... the Master Tournament is just like that, no different from Teacher Yu educating students on weekdays?"

"The opponent seems to be a friend, he smiled relievedly after losing, and shook hands with Teacher Yu, woo woo woo, envy being able to have physical contact with Teacher Yu!"

"??? You are not right!"

"It turns out that Teacher Yu's strength is hidden so deep! Wait... does it mean that we also have to fight this thing in the champion assessment later?"

"Scared to tears, Lucario who can't be blocked by Protect is also too terrifying, scarier than a group of Tauros wild charging!"

The friends in the auditorium were clearly already conquered by the strength shown by Qingyu.

"So, so strong!"

After the battle, the black-haired boy who had been focusing on the battle below the stage showed surprise and let out a sincere exclamation.

"So Pokémon battle is this kind of simple game where you kill one with one punch?"

While scratching his head, the black-haired boy slapped his thigh and shouted:

"Decided, I will also become such a powerful trainer in the future! Standing on the big stage with my comrades!"

Regarding his performance, many older viewers around couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Because they have seen the strong, they decided to embark on the road of becoming a trainer, which is originally the most royal dream in the Pokémon world.

Even some of them quickly showed emotion, recalling themselves who were carefree when they stepped on the journey with their initial partners.

"Young man, what is your name?"

A kind middle-aged man sitting not far from him smiled and took the initiative to say hello to him.

"Gold! My name is Gold, the strongest trainer in the future of New Bark Town!"

The boy named Gold showed a confident smile, and while introducing himself generously, he also gave himself a thumb.

Although I don't know if I can do it in the future, but in front of others, I absolutely can't lose face!

"..."

The red-haired boy on the other side didn't make a sound, but his face clearly showed disdain.

This guy, he really knows how to talk big.

Being the strongest trainer or something, it is impossible to do it just by relying on his mouth.

However...

His gaze focused on Qingyu, who was standing in the center of the stage, waving to the audience and enjoying his moment of victory, and his eyes revealed a bit of seriousness.

That arrogant guy was right about one thing: this trainer named Qingyu is indeed very strong.

Being able to see these top-tier trainers, it was really worth coming to this Psychic Master Tournament.

And if you want to become the strongest... besides that man, even Qingyu must be surpassed!

Although it might be very difficult in a short time, at least it gave him a clear direction forward.

The red-haired boy thought so in his heart.

"Tsk..."

On the other side of the stands, a certain blonde little girl in the front row clicked her tongue secretly.

Didn't expect Qingyu to hide so deep, that Riolu evolved unknowingly and became so powerful?

Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway.

The contestants who can participate in the Master Tournament will at least not be too weak, and the opponent was easily swept three, clearly showing that Qingyu's strength is already much stronger than him.

Caitlin of course can see that Qingyu didn't even use his best command and pre-reading to sweep three, relying entirely on the crushing of Pokémon ability to easily achieve victory.

Especially the special attack move of that Lucario, which seems to have a special trick for the application of Dark-type energy, which is particularly deadly for Psychic Pokémon, and even defense is very difficult.

As long as it can't be blocked, it is very likely to be severely damaged or even killed in seconds, which is simply breaking ten thousand laws with one force, completely contrary to the stereotype of psychics playing with martial artists.

So at least in the group round of this Master Tournament, when the opponents are not that strong, this Lucario should be able to cut melons and vegetables at will.

If it were someone else, Caitlin might feel that this person would be a bright dark horse in this Master Tournament.

But it just so happens that this person is Qingyu...

How could I possibly say anything good about him!

"Mere Qingyu... not worth mentioning!"

After tossing her hair tsundere-ly, Caitlin quickly made a judgment.

It is simple to deal with that Lucario, just keep a distance at all times and don't let it have a chance to use moves at close range.

As long as you have a pre-judgment of its fighting style in your heart, it is indeed not difficult to target it.

As for Cynthia sitting beside her, she immediately showed an understanding look, smiled, and touched her head while speaking.

"Feeling pressure after watching Qingyu's battle?"

"Not at all!!"

Caitlin, whose thoughts were accurately poked by Cynthia's sentence, instantly exploded, looking a bit broken.

"When my competition starts, I will prove that my strength is absolutely stronger than his!"

"Cynthia, just wait and see!"

After speaking, Caitlin immediately got up and walked into the exit angrily, as if she was going to enter the contestant lounge in advance to start preparing.

Regarding this, Cynthia just smiled silently, and after watching her leave, she shook her head helplessly.

"Sometimes I feel... Caitlin in this state is quite cute, so I always can't help but want to tease her."

"However, I have great trust in your strength~"

Not long after Caitlin left, Qingyu appeared quickly.

"Where is Caitlin?"

Just now on the battle field, he actually noticed Cynthia and Caitlin, so he appeared immediately after fighting.

According to the schedule, he only has this one battle today, and there will be two games every day for the next two days until all five games are finished.

So there is no need to go back to the lounge to prepare for the battle, he came directly to the auditorium to find Cynthia.

"Hmm..."

After thinking for a while, Cynthia gave a slightly "high emotional intelligence" answer.

"After watching your battle, Caitlin also got serious and is preparing to show her best competitive state."

"Oh?"

Qingyu nodded with a strange face, but didn't think much.

After all, just now his clean 3:0 was fought very beautifully. Caitlin has always regarded him as a competitor, so it is normal to feel pressure.

After sitting in Caitlin's original position, Cynthia quickly clapped her hands with a smile, and then said:

"Congratulations on the first victory~ I didn't expect that the Riolu entrusted to you at that time has become so strong. It seems it was really a correct choice."

"It's all its own practice, it actually has nothing to do with me."

Qingyu replied with a bit of humility, while also secretly complaining in his heart:

If Cynthia really thought I was being humble, then she would be very wrong!

I seem to have done nothing. The cheat is all up to Riolu's own contention, directly speed-running the full set of training in the Armor Island Dojo...

However, as Lucario's trainer, shouldn't it be okay to be a little proud?

Thinking of this, Qingyu quickly raised his head confidently.

It made me so awesome, hands on hips!

"And that move just now... I did hear you say before that Lucario practiced in the Armor Island Dojo for a while, but..."

"I didn't expect that even that senior's unique skill has already been learned~"

Cynthia's tone carried a bit of emotion.

Like Lance, although she is not very old, she has some understanding of seniors at the level of Master Mustard and Professor Oak, and has also watched their battle videos.

The moves shown by Lucario just now can almost be confirmed to be Master Mustard's unique skills, Invisible Fist and Wicked Blow.

Being able to learn these two hands shows that Lucario's talent and strength have been recognized by this great senior.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't it have learned another move, Surging Strikes, together?"

Recalling this, Cynthia suddenly asked.

As a trainer who also cultivates a Lucario, she knows Lucario's advantages very well.

In Qingyu's words, the Fighting type itself represents the ultimate offensive ability, and the Steel type not only provides it with a good resistance surface, but also brings just the right blind spot coverage effect.

Moves that Fighting can't hit, Meteor Mash can perfectly cover, and there is no offensive blind spot for any single type.

If you add Invisible Fist, plus the matching Wicked Blow and Surging Strikes...

For the vast majority of Pokémon, Lucario can achieve very good results. The special attack method of targeting weaknesses and ignoring defense also makes its suppression more amazing.

Counting its Mega Evolution form, the Adaptability ability can further provide output ability, no matter what team it is placed in, it is an absolute general.

Although Qingyu didn't show it in this battle, Cynthia certainly knows that he is still hiding the trump card of Mega Evolution, and it is estimated that he will catch people off guard in the subsequent higher-intensity games.

Regarding Cynthia's question, Qingyu shook his head profoundly and did not give a clear answer.

"You'll know when the time comes~"

"After all, in the group stage, Lucario and Sylveon should appear frequently to hide their main tactics as much as possible for the subsequent knockout stage."

From the beginning, Qingyu made a plan to try not to use the two Psychic Pokémon in his hands, but to use Lucario and Sylveon to try to sweep three.

After all, the tournament rules are a bit harsh for him, just locking himself to Mewtwo and Indeedee, and the only thing that can be flexibly changed is that free seat.

"Hmm, keep working hard later!"

Cynthia nodded with a smile.

Just when she was about to continue saying something, suddenly the appearance of a Pokémon caught her attention.

"Mew~"

At Qingyu's feet, I don't know when "Sylveon" suddenly appeared beside him and quietly rubbed Qingyu's back with the ribbons extending from its neck.

"Sylveon...?"

Cynthia tilted her head, showing confusion.

Is Sylveon's cry like this? Why is it different from the impression in my mind?

Moreover, this cry is also a bit familiar...

Always feel that something is wrong, but can't say it.

Qingyu also immediately discovered this little guy, a helpless look appeared on his face, he reached out and lifted it up easily, and scolded with a smile at the same time:

"You are smart, you know how to disguise yourself well when you come out!"

"Mew~"

"Sylveon" blinked triumphantly, and soon looked at Cynthia with curious eyes, as if it were very unfamiliar with her.

And its performance made Cynthia feel even more wrong.
