Chapter 688: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 351

Given the relationship between Sylveon and himself, shouldn't it have come over to nuzzle him proactively after they met?

Coupled with Xiang Qingyu's nonsensical remark just now, a bold conjecture instantly appeared in her mind.

"Could it be... Mew?"

Champion Zhulan revealed a look of surprise and subconsciously asked in a low voice.

That was it; judging by all the previous signs, this was the only possibility.

It was the Mew she had once seen at the Light Gym!

"Mm, you guessed right~"

Xiang Qingyu nodded and then offered a brief explanation.

"For some reasons, I promised to take it out to see the human world."

"However, if Mew, this Mythical Pokémon, were to appear at the Master Tournament, I reckon people like Lance would be very troubled, so I had no choice but to use this desperate measure to have it disguise itself."

"Mew~"

After Xiang Qingyu finished speaking, Mew nodded seriously as if it were a grave matter, then proactively extended a hand toward Champion Zhulan.

Champion Zhulan was stunned for a moment, but soon revealed a smile and extended her own hand as well.

"Long time no see, Mew."

"Mew~"

The polite greeting ended quickly, and "Sylveon" soon refocused its attention on the battle taking place on the field below, sitting in Xiang Qingyu's arms and watching it intently.

"I really didn't expect that you and Mew would have become this familiar with each other..."

Champion Zhulan couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

Being able to form a bond with a Legendary Pokémon is in itself a very rare thing; even looking back through history, those who have achieved it are few and far between.

And besides Mew, the same is true for that mysterious black Rayquaza in Paldea.

Perhaps it is precisely because of Xiang Qingyu's unique charm that he has attracted the attention of these Divine Beasts?

Champion Zhulan glanced at Xiang Qingyu and couldn't help but think this.

"Speaking of which... Mew's appearance might just hit Cattleya's sweet spot, right?"

A fluffy body, a cute and girlish pink color, and it loves to act spoiled toward humans it is close to.

Plus, it has the Psychic type, which is perfectly compatible with her.

No matter how you look at it, it's the kind of Pokémon Cattleya likes most.

What a pity; if she hadn't left in a huff just now, she might have had a chance to see the adorable Mew.

Champion Zhulan secretly shook her head, expressing regret over Cattleya's missed opportunity.

Why does it feel like every time Cattleya throws a little tantrum, she ends up missing something very important?

Before they knew it, two and a half days had passed in the Psychic Master Tournament, and the group stage had completed four full rounds, entering the final struggle.

Among the clashes in the first four rounds, if one were to name the trainer who left the deepest impression on the audience, it would surely be Xiang Qingyu.

As for the reason, it was very simple—

In all four matches, Xiang Qingyu was able to pull off a ridiculous 3:0 every time, using only two Pokémon in total...

One was Lucario, which had appeared at the very beginning; after slaughtering the first round with an aggressive, no-nonsense Aura Sphere that pierced the defensive line, it went on to win another easy victory for Xiang Qingyu in a different way.

Because the iconic scene from the first round was too shocking, the opponents in the third round clearly realized they couldn't engage it in close combat and had to keep their distance to slowly wear it down.

However, when the opponents actually executed this tactic, they quickly realized something was wrong.

"Lucario, Nasty Plot!"

Upon hearing Xiang Qingyu's command, the opponent's mentality exploded on the spot.

Damn it! Lucario is a mixed attacker!

If you can't hit it in close combat, it just switches to Special Attack, and it even possesses Nasty Plot, which every special attacker dreams of, allowing it to significantly boost its combat power.

And what made matters worse was Lucario's move pool on the special attack side.

Besides the guaranteed-hit Aura Sphere, when facing Psychic-type Pokémon, it could also pull out the powerful Dark Pulse.

As a final trump card, the terrifyingly powerful Steel Beam was also enough to make people shudder.

Is this right, brother?

If you play like this, who is going to battle you in the future!

In the end, the mentally shattered opponent was unsurprisingly swept 3:0.

As for the second and fourth rounds, perhaps to conserve stamina, Xiang Qingyu did not choose to send out Lucario.

But that didn't mean the Sylveon that replaced it wasn't terrifying.

If Lucario represented absolute violence, leaving opponents with no way to counter and only able to accept a regretful defeat...

Then Sylveon, which had learned various "quality" moves from who knows where, caused complete psychological trauma to its opponents.

Moves like Encore, Will-O-Wisp, and Hyper Voice made it impossible for opponents to defend against; after being repeatedly tortured, being easily defeated by a single Shadow Ball became a relief.

What's more, when facing opponents against whom Shadow Ball wasn't effective, Sylveon could still play its "trump card," using a ridiculous move that could even change the surrounding environment.

When the surrounding air suddenly turned light pink, it signaled that the opponent had thoroughly annoyed this "pink devil," and Moonblast would bestow upon them the harshest punishment.

After four rounds, many viewers were left confused:

"Asking because I don't know, isn't this the Psychic Master Tournament? How come Teacher Yu hasn't used a single Psychic-type Pokémon yet???"

"As expected of Teacher Yu, even the tournament rules can't stop him from slaughtering everyone!"

"I'm laughing in frustration; just thinking about how I'll have to face these two monsters not long after I go back, I almost don't want to return to Paldea..."

"Rational discussion: is it possible that Teacher Yu actually can't even field two Psychic-type Pokémon, which is why he's winning matches in such a ridiculous way?"

Opinions varied, and Xiang Qingyu heard some of this while watching the matches with Champion Zhulan.

To this, Xiang Qingyu only wore a smile.

One could only say that the fans' imaginations were still too limited.

After all, in a beginner-level match that one Pokémon could sweep, letting Mewtwo out would be too much of a bully!

As for Indeedee... its battle style is relatively special, so it's better not to mess with the mentalities of these relatively average contestants before the knockout stage.

Just like that, with Xiang Qingyu winning all the way and turning the Master Tournament into his own exhibition match, the draw results for the fifth match were soon announced.

And this time, Xiang Qingyu, who had precisely avoided all the experts to secure four consecutive victories, finally encountered his first opponent with real strength in the Master Tournament—

Will, the Psychic expert from the Johto region, who is very likely to become one of the Elite Four of the Indigo League in the future!

When he saw the draw results, Xiang Qingyu was actually a bit happy.

For him, beginner-level matches offered no benefits other than one-sided crushing.

Xiang Qingyu had been very clear about his purpose for participating in the Psychic Master Tournament from the very beginning.

First, it was to test his current level and check the progress of his own Pokémon in actual combat.

Second, he also had the idea of bringing Mewtwo to play in high-end matches, providing it with ideas while also helping it catch up on lessons.

That was why he hadn't chosen to let Mewtwo play against relatively weaker opponents.

And now, this young man Will's strength was naturally worth seeing.

Although he might still be lacking compared to other strong, veteran Gym Leaders and new Elite Four members,

someone who could become an Elite Four member in the future Indigo League would definitely not be weak.

If he were too arrogant, he might even flip his car.

It seems he would have to be a little more serious for the last round of the group stage in the afternoon!

Before entering the knockout stage, having a full-power battle to let Mewtwo and Indeedee warm up didn't seem bad either.

Xiang Qingyu couldn't help but think this. ===== CHAPTER 690 =====
