Chapter 81: The Scientific Shrink Squad

【Pink devil? Chansey is clearly a little angel! Why would you give it such an evil nickname!】

【The Chansey Protection Association expresses strong condemnation!】

【You are forbidden from eating the eggs laid by our little angel Chansey from now on!】

【To be fair, while the streamer might actually have some skill... does anyone really think Chansey can be used in battles?】

As soon as Qingyu finished his opening remarks, a barrage of comments began to critique him sharply.

It was clear that everyone had very low expectations for Chansey.

Chansey, the Egg Pokémon, the little angel that always spawns in Pokémon Centers.

Saying it isn't suited for battle does have some truth to it.

Perhaps due to its nature, Chansey's offensive capability is extremely poor.

Even with the bond with its trainer maxed out, eventually evolving into Blissey, its output is still nothing to write home about.

For local trainers who prefer passionate, head-on brawls, it is indeed a bit weak.

Of course, since our creator god Arceus closed a window for it, He naturally opened a door as well.

While you can't count on it for offense, the Chansey family is absolutely top-tier when it comes to defense.

Especially in Special Defense, it is a veritable "Wall of Sighs" that drives people to despair.

"Don't be impatient. A master once said, 'There are no weak Pokémon, only trainers who don't know how to use them.' Today, Teacher Yu is bringing you a set of tactics suitable for Chansey!"

As he spoke, Qingyu had already opened *Pokémon: Champion* and selected a round, pink Pokémon in the team editor.

【Why Chansey? Isn't Blissey the final evolution?】

【Maybe to hold an Eviolite? Since it has no combat power anyway, might as well make it tankier.】

【Then how are you going to win?】

Qingyu was not surprised by the confusion in the comments.

After all, in the real Pokémon world, situations where a stall team slowly grinds the opponent to death rarely happen.

Otherwise, it would be too easy to end up in another no-rules wild brawl...

It's not just talk that stall teams tend to have no friends.

"I do intend to use an Eviolite, because it allows Chansey's advantages to expand even further."

"Of course, Blissey can use these tactics too; just swap the item for Bright Powder, and the effect shouldn't be much worse."

Qingyu explained briefly and started the matchmaking immediately.

The stereotypes about the Chansey family were too deeply ingrained, so they wouldn't understand just by him talking.

He had to prove it to his viewers with actual action—

The Chansey family, despite their angelic appearance, is absolutely not a soft target!

Once he reached the Great Ball tier, the number of players dropped significantly, and his matchmaking time grew noticeably longer.

Before, he could find an opponent in a few seconds, but now he had actually waited for a full five minutes.

It wasn't until he finished watching Elesa's new outfit video on PokéTV that the matchmaking pointer finally stopped spinning.

"Great! Our Scientific Shrink Squad can finally go on a rampage!"

Qingyu smiled slightly, observing the opponent's lineup while making sure to keep the atmosphere lively.

"I'll predict your next sentence—"

"Streamer, streamer, what is the Scientific Shrink Squad?"

【What is the Scientific Shrink... holy crap, he's hacking!】

【??? Predicting the opponent is one thing, but you're even predicting the comments?】

【Teacher Yu, hurry up and serve it, I can't wait anymore!】

Seeing the comments clearly livened up after being stunned by his "Future Sight," Qingyu showed a satisfied smile.

"The so-called Scientific Shrink Squad is a tactic centered around the move Minimize, making it hard for the opponent to land hits by constantly shrinking the body."

"It sounds like it relies on luck, but that's not the case."

"For example, in this match, the opponent's Pokémon are all Special Attack-oriented, so we can confidently lead with Chansey."

Entering the battle, Qingyu's trainer avatar immediately threw out Chansey.

The opponent was a young trainer, and his lead Pokémon was Alakazam, known as the Master of Minds.

Right into Qingyu's trap.

"Alakazam, Psychic!"

After both Pokémon appeared, the opponent immediately issued the first command.

Alakazam crossed the two spoons in its hands, purple light bloomed in its eyes, and it quickly fired a violent burst of psychic energy, charging straight toward Chansey.

Chansey's reaction was very slow; even seeing the opponent attacking, it maintained its innocent smile, unmoved.

The psychic wave quickly hit Chansey's body, but unexpectedly, it didn't cause much impact.

The HP bar, which was more than twice as long as the Master of Minds', suffered a tiny bit of damage but remained almost completely full.

"Lucky?"

One could feel the confusion in Chansey's voice through the screen.

As if to say:

Little brother, didn't you eat lunch?

"Master of Minds, are you just scraping the skin? If you're not a physical attacker, don't even think about hurting our Chansey!"

Qingyu immediately issued a command:

"Chansey, Minimize!"

Chansey's body immediately shrank inch by inch, and soon it was only half its previous height.

Minimizing is a survival instinct for Pokémon.

Even Pokémon that don't know the move Minimize might subconsciously use it to dodge attacks when encountering danger in the wild.

At the same time, this is also the storage principle of modern Poké Balls.

After shrinking, Chansey is not only harder to hit, but its smaller size also makes it more agile.

Even though the opponent reacted quickly and switched to using Focus Blast to counter it, it was too late.

Energy waves flew out one after another, but each time they were easily dodged by Chansey with clumsy but practical steps, while it used Minimize again.

After shrinking three times, Chansey's size was almost impossible to track with the naked eye.

Even for Alakazam, famous for its psychic powers, it was almost impossible to hit it again.

"Didn't some viewers ask me how Chansey is supposed to win? Watch closely, don't blink!"

Alakazam's ability might be Synchronize or Magic Guard, so...

There was only one answer!

"Chansey, Seismic Toss!"

Chansey had arrived in front of Alakazam before anyone knew it, its tiny body suddenly erupting with terrifying strength, actually throwing Alakazam directly into the air!

The damage wasn't actually that exaggerated, but the insult was extreme.

Facing this "pink devil" that couldn't be hit and could only be slowly drained, the opponent soon couldn't bear the humiliation and hit the surrender button at light speed.

【Huh? Is this still a Pokémon battle? Where did you send me?】

【Isn't this too dirty?】

【Why do I feel like the streamer's Chansey has such an evil smile? Is it my imagination...】

【You're not imagining it. No wonder the streamer calls it the pink devil. Give us back our cute little angel, ahhh!!!】

Clearly, the shrinking tactic brought quite a shock to the viewers.

"He quit already?"

Qingyu, who was just getting ready to perform, saw his smile vanish instantly. ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
