Chapter 323: Ziyu: We in Unova need Master Yu!

"So you didn't bring Whimsicott?"

Seeing these two Pokémon, Qingyu was immediately amused.

What he actually feared most was Whimsicott, because the Prankster ability could suppress his side, and if it set up Tailwind, his side might have a chance of being countered.

After all, he had no back row left and could almost only rely on this set of Pickup-Fling scraping to slowly torture the opponent to death; once he lost the initiative, he would collapse quickly.

However, fortunately, Ziyu didn't seem to have thought that he would have such a playstyle.

Next...

How should we carry out this pleasant torture?

The strength of Dedenne and Aipom was already very average, and coupled with the Fling move which only had a power of 30, it was scraping among scraping.

After flinging more than ten times, it felt like he could have smashed a big bump on Granbull's forehead, yet he still hadn't finished off the opponent.

However, although the two Pokémon on Ziyu's side hadn't fallen yet, it was clearly only a matter of time.

Dazed by being repeatedly smashed by special items and having no power to fight back, they were just pure living targets at this moment, unable to move at all...

【Too scary, is Master Yu really the Torture King of the Pokémon world? How many times has he smashed them already...】

【In terms of not acting like a human, Master Yu has always been professional; I feel sorry for the opponent young lady for a second!】

【Master Yu, you've done all the bad things!】

Finally, after the last Fling of the King's Rock, even Dedenne was panting from exhaustion, and the last Granbull finally couldn't hold on and collapsed on the field, ending this ultimate torture.

【Finally liberated, I feel like not only the opponent but even the audience is being tortured by Master Yu...】

【This is completely not letting the opponent play the game; this kind of tactic has no battle soul!】

【I don't need the streamer to remind me to know that this tactic definitely can't be used offline; I feel like before the battle is even finished, real-life fighting would start!】

"This set is indeed an online entertainment lineup, because in reality, it's really not certain that you can guarantee the opponent will flinch."

After Qingyu nodded and admitted this, he spoke again:

"However, this tactic can be considered as finding some scenes where the unpopular abilities and moves like Pickup, Fling, and Serene Grace, which are almost never seen in actual combat, can be utilized, right?"

Although he himself felt that it was a bit too unsportsmanlike.

He hoped Senior Ziyu could hold on; he really did play a bit too hard just now...

"I actually lost; this tactic is too outrageous!"

Ziyu, who originally felt that victory was in her grasp, now had emotions that were clearly a bit disappointed.

Actually, there were several times when she thought about just pulling the network cable to end the torture early; anyway, her commands couldn't function at all...

But she endured it in the end.

The reason was also very simple—

After all, this was a rare opportunity to be matched with Master Yu; there might not be another chance!

As long as she could appear in Master Yu's video, even if she was just a background board, she accepted it!

"Worthy of being Master Yu, he can design such... thoughtful tactics even with these cute children."

Ziyu whispered, and suddenly realized one thing—

It seems that the cuter the Pokémon, the dirtier they are in Master Yu's hands?

Could it really be because Dedenne is cuter than Togekiss, so it can infinitely flinch the opponent?

Just like Chansey, whom she thinks is very cute...

And in that Master Tournament exhibition match she watched online before, Pachirisu's tactical style also didn't have anything to do with straightforward attacking.

"Perhaps this is Master Yu's tactical style?"

Ziyu nodded.

It's just a pity that this Master Yu, who understands tactics very well and has very good doubles strength...

Is not one of our Unova people, but a Paldea Gym Leader.

Because the main rules of the League are still based on singles, almost none of the Unova region's Champions, Elite Four, or Gym Leaders are good at doubles.

Even though Blueberry Academy innovatively incorporated doubles rules, there were no sufficiently excellent teachers to guide their progress.

That's why the school spirit of Blueberry Academy is so free, and they even created the "Blueberry League" in the school, letting students spar with each other to improve their strength.

Regarding this point, even Ziyu, who hadn't enrolled yet, knew it.

We in Unova also need a teacher who is proficient in doubles battles like Master Yu!

However, Ziyu suddenly thought of another idea in her heart—

Hasn't Blueberry Academy called Orange Academy a sister school since the school was founded?

If Master Yu could join Orange Academy, would there be a chance for us in Unova to exchange Master Yu over to serve as a battle class lecturer for a period of time in the future?

Thinking of this, Ziyu couldn't help but look forward to it.

However, wanting to get to know Master Yu doesn't seem that easy...

It was also at this moment that her phone suddenly vibrated.

Opening it, it was a call from Nemona.

"Nemona...?"

Seeing the name of this good friend whom she hadn't seen for two years since leaving Unova, Ziyu was slightly stunned.

Although they hadn't met for a long time, they still chatted frequently on the Rotom Phone.

But this was the first time she had called directly.

Moreover, she had heard before that Nemona seemed to have been serving as an apprentice at Master Yu's Sunny Gym for a while.

I always feel a bit envious...

If she could always study by Master Yu's side, maybe Nemona would soon leave her behind!

"Hello, Nemona?"

The ringing tone that sounded again interrupted Ziyu's thinking, making her subconsciously answer the phone, and soon Nemona's energetic voice came from the other end.

"Hey, Ziyu!"

"I plan to travel to Kitakami Village tomorrow, do you want to go with me?"

"Kitakami Village...?"

Information about this region began to recall in Ziyu's mind.

Although located between Sinnoh and Johto, this remote little region of Kitakami Village was under the jurisdiction of Paldea.

Before the aid from Paldea arrived, Kitakami Village had always been a remote backwater, and it wasn't until recent years that it was decided by Geeta, the Top Champion of the Paldea League, to start developing the tourism industry.

However, why would Nemona suddenly invite her to go there?

Just as Ziyu was thinking, Nemona on the other side quickly spoke again:

"I heard that Master Qingyu and Sinnoh Champion Cynthia-san seem to be going to Kitakami Village for a vacation too; it would be great if we could run into them!"

Nemona's meaningful voice came through, seemingly revealing very important intelligence inadvertently.

"?!!"

"I should have time to go; it just so happens that my dad has been doing construction at Blueberry Academy recently, and it's very boring to be home alone."

Ziyu agreed immediately, and after discussing the time and place to meet, the call was quickly hung up.

There is actually such an opportunity...

While Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, she also began to think—

If she could get to know Master Yu, it would probably be easier to invite him to teach in Unova in the future, right?

On the other end of the phone, Nemona revealed a smile that was just as expected.

"Sure enough, I guessed it when we were chatting before; Ziyu, you really are a fan of Master Qingyu!"

Master Qingyu said that besides studying Pokémon, a Trainer's expressions, actions, and inner thoughts are also part of the battle.

She suddenly felt that she seemed to understand what Master Yu meant.

If you can guess the opponent's thoughts in advance, then guiding them into the rhythm you hope for is a very simple matter.

Worthy of being Master Qingyu, I've learned again!
