Chapter 184: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 84

Although she is also a half-newcomer who has only succeeded to the Gym Leader position for one person, she has been trained as a Gym Leader successor since she was a child.

Is it that she, who is professionally trained, would actually have such a big gap with her peers?

Sometimes you really have to admit...

Geniuses do exist.

And now, the closest one seems to be standing right in front of her.

Of course, besides discovering this, this battle did indeed give her some gains.

At least through the battle just now, Iono understood a little that her Bellibolt still has some weaknesses that need to be supplemented.

For example...

When facing an opponent with a huge speed advantage, should she use Electroweb, which has a larger range and better slowing effect, instead of Thunder Wave?

Iono's curiosity drove her to ask this question to Qingyu immediately.

After pondering for a moment, the answer Qingyu gave was:

"I remember Bellibolt can learn the move Soak, right?"

Soak, by using a large amount of special water to splash at the opponent, makes the hit Pokémon temporarily become Water-type.

Qingyu actually thinks this ability of Bellibolt is quite strong. It charges when hit, and the power of the next Electric-type move will be very terrifying.

And Bellibolt is a frog-type Pokémon after all, so it wouldn't be scientific if it didn't learn some Water-type moves.

"Since you are pursuing change, why not do it in one step? How about using Soak or Rain Dance directly to make the capture effect of Electroweb better?"

"Anyway, with Bellibolt's solid build, it should be impossible to be killed in one hit."

After Iono heard this, her eyes lit up instantly.

And the two moves Qingyu recommended were for the same effect—

Using the principle that water conducts electricity to maximize the power and coverage of Electric-type moves.

No matter if Bellibolt is hit or not, as long as the opponent is covered in water, it is difficult to dodge an electric therapy.

If you match it with Tera Electric...

The power will definitely be very terrifying!

"So that's it, truly worthy of you, Junior~"

Iono is happy, but the other Paldean students in the broadcast room can't laugh.

【??? Teacher Yu, you've done all the bad things. You let Miss Iono's Bellibolt learn Soak, then my Krokorok wasn't trained in vain!】

【Oh, awesome, there are people who actively help Gym Leaders increase difficulty. Now I have to give the Sunshine Gym a bad review!】

【How can you say a person is this bad?】

To this, Qingyu smiled calmly, indicating that he absolutely does not take the blame.

Which Gym Leader on the Champion Road doesn't use their full strength? They basically adjust their teams dynamically according to the strength of the challenger.

After all, the Champion Road selects a champion, and the assessment is mainly the trainer rather than their Pokémon.

If you still can't win in such a situation where they have released a vast ocean of water, why don't you look for your own problems first and think about whether you are not working hard enough!

A year later, whenever the elite students of this batch, who are full of ambition and aim for the champion victory, stand in front of the Sunshine Gym, they will always think of the figure who drove the entire league with his own strength and rolled the assessment requirements to the point of explosion.

After bitter memories surged into their hearts, they would always take out their phones in unison.

Then, gritting their teeth, they would open the League APP and give a fierce bad review to this gym that doesn't know whether it will leave a name in history or be scolded for ten thousand generations.

Teacher Yu, you've done all the bad things!

After sending Iono away, the Sunshine Gym finally quieted down for a while.

Until watching that girl who was so enthusiastic that she lacked a sense of boundaries disappear, Miraidon finally gathered the courage to take a step toward the gym door.

Then, it returned to its loyal... cat bed?

Because Miraidon has the habit of sunbathing, Qingyu quickly and thoughtfully laid an extra-large cat mat on the side of the gym.

Hmm, Koraidon is an enthusiastic big dog, and Miraidon is a cold cat.

This is very reasonable.

"Gaa-ao..."

Miraidon lazily raised its head and looked in a certain direction.

Although it always felt that lying here was a bit inappropriate, in the face of the warm and comfortable atmosphere, it decisively chose to give up its dignity.

Leisurely days like this seemed to have only existed when it first appeared in front of that pair of humans.

However, that beautiful memory didn't last too long.

Miraidon didn't know how it suddenly appeared in that facility, but at that time, that pair of doctor couples did indeed save its life by mistake, which is true.

So even if they clearly had other purposes, Miraidon was willing to stay by their side for the time being and do some things within its power.

For example, beating those strange-looking creatures they summoned later.

Such days lasted until the last day.

When that cruel guy crossed time and space, appeared in front of it again, and showed a hideous smile...

Miraidon shook its head and immediately stopped the memory.

Let the past be the past, anyway, it is impossible for it to return to that ghost place again.

Now this little guy seems to not know what kind of existence it is, and even feels that it doesn't treat itself as a "Pokémon" in the mouth of humans at all...

But this is also good. After losing almost all its power, it seems that it is not its turn to fight.

Enjoying the warm sunbathing, Miraidon lay in the cat bed, couldn't help but think so.

When it was about to fall asleep, a familiar voice suddenly rang in its ears.

"Hey, Miraidon, it looks like you are doing pretty well here."

The child of that human couple appeared in front of it, waving and greeting it with a smile.

"Gaa-ao..."

After greeting perfunctorily, Miraidon immediately turned its head away.

Sure enough, I can't protect anything...

But it doesn't matter anymore.

As long as you generously admit that you are a waste, you won't be hurt again.

I made a slight modification here:

According to the Scarlet/Violet game line, Arven should be quite disgusted with Miraidon at this time, because he felt that it had taken away his parents since he was a child (the reason is quite complicated), which seems to be the real reason why he found an excuse to throw the ball to the protagonist at the beginning...

But writing it like this feels not very good, so I modified the setting slightly in the end. I still hope that the Pokémon world can be more beautiful and harmonious~ ===== CHAPTER 186 =====
