Chapter 100: I Say Teacher Yu Has High Insight!

"..."

The screen was occupied by the bright red symbol of defeat, and Nessa's mood, which had calmed down slightly, fell to the bottom again.

"Is the Grass type really too much of a counter for me?"

The memory of losing to Gym Leader Milo last time was still vivid, and now she couldn't even get past a Breloom?

Although she was only here to experiment with rain tactics and it was normal to lose, failure is failure after all, and it inevitably makes one feel sad.

If she couldn't even beat a passerby, how could she deal with Mr. Milo's Grass-type army?

Nessa couldn't help but think so.

In her first year as a Gym Leader, with shallow experience, being able to retain the first-tier Gym qualification of the Hulbury Stadium had already met the residents' expectations.

And her next opponent, Mr. Milo, was an object of admiration for countless trainers, with a gap in experience and strength not small compared to hers.

Even losing to him didn't seem like a big deal...

Escapism is shameful but useful, and she really couldn't think of any way to turn defeat into victory right now.

With such thoughts, Nessa lay on the soft carpet, holding her phone high, trying to distract herself with interesting videos.

However, as soon as she opened PokéTV, the live stream content of a certain user appeared on the homepage push.

The title was "Come in and see One Punch Man Breloom!", and the live stream screen just happened to show the familiar "Pokémon Champion" interface.

It couldn't be such a coincidence...

Nessa frowned and clicked on the streamer's personal page before entering the live stream.

"Azure Feather, Gym Leader of the Sunny Gym in the Paldea region, has League certification..."

After comparison, it was indeed exactly the same name as her opponent just now.

She hadn't noticed the opponent's certification icon at all before the match started.

If the opponent was also a Gym Leader, losing to him was understandable.

It looked like he was a veteran trainer good at Grass types, just like Mr. Milo?

With strong curiosity, Nessa clicked into the live stream.

As soon as she entered, she happened to hear the streamer discussing the match he just had with her.

His evaluation of "not very good at dealing with Grass types" hit the nail on the head, accurately capturing her current pain point.

Even against Raihan, who could go back and forth with Leon, Nessa had the confidence to show her own style.

But only when facing Milo did she always feel like she couldn't exert her strength at all, and she held almost no hope for the upcoming ranking battle.

If it were this Gym Leader from Paldea, could he give her advice?

Nessa suddenly felt like she had discovered a deeply hidden treasure.

To show her sincerity, she should follow the rules of the live stream, right...

She didn't know much about this, but she knew that PokéTV had a paid message function.

The most expensive tier was only 100,000 yuan...

If she could get useful advice for a little money, it would definitely be worth more than the price.

Soon, an eye-catching red message appeared in the live stream.

【Nessa: The streamer is very right, I am indeed not good at dealing with Grass-type Pokémon. Do you have any suggestions? This is really important to me!】

【Whoa, it seems to be Nessa herself, she's so cute!】

【I really want to be Miss Nessa's Ludicolo, but Miss Nessa said she likes Drednaw...】

【Kid, you've come to the wrong place, there are no photo albums here!】

【What is called status? Teacher Yu is also doing better; even a Gym Leader has come to ask you for tactics!】

The fact that Nessa herself appeared in the live stream quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the comments.

Facing the comments' skillful provocation, Qingyu couldn't help but click his tongue.

It wasn't that he couldn't teach Nessa how to play a rain team.

On the contrary, there were simply too many theoretical solutions he could think of.

After all, how to get past the opponent's Grass-type "daddy" was a must-answer question for rain teams, and there were different adaptation strategies according to different lineups.

He didn't know what her real appeal was.

【Come to think of it, Miss Nessa and Mr. Milo's ranking battle is next week, right? Last time it seemed like she was miserably defeated...】

【The influence of type effectiveness is still too great, it's very difficult~】

Just as Qingyu was thinking, the appearance of a comment caught his attention.

So he decisively opened PokéTV and, unsurprisingly, searched for the recording of their last battle.

After watching it, Qingyu's expression gradually became complicated.

Under normal circumstances, rain teams would bring Pokémon of other types to cover blind spots, avoiding obvious defensive coverage problems.

He had really never seen a pure rain team as pure as Nessa's.

Of course, he was thinking with a game mindset to some extent, and there would only be more factors to consider in actual combat.

But even so, the two still had many common points, especially in tactical configuration.

In Qingyu's view, Nessa's team shouldn't have been afraid of Grass types to begin with?

"Fortunately, Teacher Yu is kind-hearted. Since you asked so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you!"

After watching the video, Qingyu cleared his throat, and his speech became serious.

"The foundation of your rain team is actually not bad; I feel the problem mainly lies in the mindset—"

"Let me state my thoughts. Of course, what I say isn't necessarily right, just for reference."

He was also quite puzzled.

Clearly, with our invincible General Kyogre, aren't Grass-type Pokémon just easy to kill?

It's not that Qingyu couldn't understand Nessa's unshakable ace, Drednaw.

After all, the soul of Galar battles lies in Dynamax, and every Gym Leader's Gigantamax Pokémon is the guarantee of attendance.

Without Gigantamax, even someone as strong as Piers would find it hard to attract an audience with his own style.

But as long as you are slightly more flexible in the mindset of other Pokémon, it's really not difficult to win against the opponent!

"Fighting a Grass-type Gym Leader, even setting aside the hindsight of whether a Quagsire with a four-fold weakness to Grass could even land an Ice Punch, don't Pelipper and Toxapex both have good counter-effects?"

"Don't take the weather setter too seriously. Even if it rains when fighting a Grass type, you can't use Water-type moves, right? The main role is to let teammates trigger their abilities."

"So in this case, Pelipper can be completely extreme and take an output route; the opponent will find it hard to withstand a STAB Hurricane."

"Or Pelipper and Golisopod have a good combo; U-turn in and suddenly hit a First Impression, it will definitely at least take out one of the opponent's Pokémon!"

"Of course, I still suggest not using Quagsire in the next match. Supplement with a special attacker that can use Ice-type moves and is fast enough, for example..."

"Starmie?"

"If Miss Nessa hasn't trained other main forces, then pretend I didn't say anything. However, type effectiveness is also an important part of Pokémon battles; try to avoid it if you can..."

After finishing his better solutions in one breath like a machine gun, Qingyu finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"The above is my opinion, I hope it can be of some help to Miss Nessa."

After calming down, when he looked at the comments again, he found that the density of comments had decreased significantly.

【Although I didn't understand it at all, it seems very powerful...】

【No, Teacher Yu, do you really know? What are you mumbling about? Is this something I, a Poké Ball ranker, should learn?】

【I say Teacher Yu has high insight!】

Thanks to "I am Master Qiu" and "Zhiyin-chan" for the tips.
