Chapter 375: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 169

~10 min read 1,876 words

There are actually quite a few Pokémon that can theoretically learn the move Skill Swap.

After all, Pokémon cannot only learn moves of their own type; their learning ability is generally very strong.

Even if they cannot skillfully use Confusion, bringing a Ghost or Fairy type, or being slightly related to psychic powers, learning some auxiliary moves is easy.

Pokémon like Sylveon, Clefable, and even Chansey and Plusle can learn Skill Swap through effort.

And among so many Pokémon that can learn this move, Xiang Qingyu finally chose two optimal solutions.

Medicham, also known as A-San.

It is the evolved form of Meditite that has been marinated in curry after painstaking yoga practice.

This Pokémon itself is a bit mediocre, but it possesses a very awesome ability.

Pure Power.

This ability is amazing; the effect is very simple and crude:

Physical attack power is doubled.

It is exactly the same as the description of the Huge Power ability, full of the simple beauty of strength.

But it's a pity that because the birth era was too early, there are not many Pokémon with Huge Power and Pure Power abilities, and their attack base stats are one lower than the other.

It can't reflect the terror of this numerical monster ability at all.

But it doesn't matter.

Precisely because of years of yoga practice, Medicham, in addition to fighting skills, also learned how to use psychic powers through meditation.

The Psychic + Fighting type combination allows it to possess god-level abilities while also learning the auxiliary move Skill Swap, which can sacrifice itself to strengthen teammates.

As long as Slaking obtains the Pure Power ability, which is the same style as Huge Power...

I heard that the one with the highest attack base stat is Mega Mewtwo X?

Let's see whose fist is harder!

As for the other Alolan Raichu, the usage method is slightly different.

Following the idea of Slaking as the core, Xiang Qingyu's double lineup today quickly took shape:

Slaking, Medicham, Alolan Raichu, Galarian Weezing, Kilowattrel, and an Indeedee.

It can almost be said to be a 5-protect-1 lineup, with full treatment.

Because Alolan Raichu's ability trigger requires Electric Terrain, the most suitable teammate should be one of the four island guardians, Tapu Koko, or Miraidon, which has the Hadron Engine ability and can also lay down Electric Terrain at the start.

But it's a pity that these two cannot log into the game at present, so they can only choose Kilowattrel to manually open the terrain.

Once Xiang Qingyu's lineup was shown, most of the audience's focus was not on Slaking, but on the other few Pokémon that were not very common.

【Is this electric mouse Raichu? Why does it look a bit strange...】

(Alolan Raichu)

【It seems to be the Alolan form of Raichu; it is indeed relatively rare in other regions. It is said that there are individuals who occasionally cross regions by surfing with their tails...】

【It says it's tanned; don't think blindly.】

【I can understand that Raichu's appearance has changed a bit... but what about this Weezing that looks a bit annoying?】

(Weezing, Capitalist Form)

【I know this question; it is said that the air pollution in Galar in the past made the Weezing that purifies the air too burdened, and finally it slowly evolved into its current appearance...】

【Don't look at Galarian Weezing as ugly; it's actually very kind-hearted. Like Grimer, it is a good helper for purifying pollution!】

"As we all know, Pokémon will slowly form different regional forms according to the regional environment."

Seeing that they seemed interested in the regional differences of Pokémon, Xiang Qingyu quickly began to popularize science.

"Like Alolan Raichu, it seems that in order to shuttle between islands, it learned the skill of surfing with its tail, and years of practice in the sun led to changes in skin color, so its appearance is a bit different from ordinary Raichu."

"However, regarding the question of how it mastered psychic powers during the evolution process, there seems to be no theoretical basis for speculation at present, and it is still an unsolved mystery."

In the Pokémon world, anything unreasonable can happen; regional form changes are already a topic that is quite in line with biological common sense.

As for other messy anti-common sense phenomena, many have not yet had a reliable conclusion.

It can only be said that human understanding of Pokémon still has a lot of room for improvement.

【In other words... if a Pokémon lives in a strange environment for a long time, it is possible to have a new form?】

【As expected of Teacher Xiang, it is more professional than what our teachers said, and I can understand it as soon as I hear it!】

【Teacher Xiang, are you really not planning to be a teacher at Naranja Academy? We definitely recommend you to sit in the principal's position!】

【Blueberry Academy students express real-name envy; can you borrow it for us to enjoy...】

【You are not right, but I am really greedy for Teacher Xiang!】

Teacher Xiang's small classroom opened after a long absence, making many viewers shout "Grandpa, you're back."

Actually, he is already an honorary teacher at Naranja Academy...

Xiang Qingyu complained silently in his heart.

Amidst the laughter of the barrage, he quickly matched with the first opponent of the day.

No, it should be better to describe it as a victim?

After the matching interface lasted for a few seconds, it quickly disappeared, and the opponent's Trainer image and ID appeared in front of the screen.

Wearing a tight red suit, with light purple hair draped over his neck, simple glasses could not hide his eyes full of conviction.

A young man who showed incomparable confidence from his standing posture was pointing at him through the screen with his finger.

Trainer ID: Sinnoh Elite Four Lucian.

【Such a familiar Trainer; it seems I have seen him on the Sinnoh Victory Road...】

【Look at his ID and you will know; he is one of the three new Elite Four members in Sinnoh, Lucian who specializes in Psychic-type!】

【Heh, just a mere Elite Four member; it's not enough for Teacher Xiang to fight!】

Ho, another old acquaintance.

Xiang Qingyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Sure enough, do those who play psychic powers have a special preference for doubles?

Then, let me test the strength of this Sinnoh Elite Four member on behalf of Cynthia~

Sinnoh region, Sunyshore City.

It was already two o'clock in the morning, but Lucian's private villa was brightly lit.

"Hoo—, refreshing!"

After drinking the iced drink in his hand in one gulp, Flint, sitting on the sofa, trembled comfortably.

"Sure enough, you should drink ice in winter!"

Seeing him looking like he was high on drinking, Aaron on the side scratched his head and smiled helplessly:

"Are you really not afraid of catching a cold tomorrow?"

"Also, why is it clearly a fruit drink, but you feel like you're drunk..."

"What do you mean drunk? I'm high right now!"

Flint smiled heartily, then directly hugged Aaron's shoulder and continued to shout.

"Don't worry, it's not easy to have a holiday; every second cannot be wasted, we must have a good time!"

"Okay, you're right!"

After being "enthusiastically invited" by Flint, Aaron was also quickly infected, and the two began to be passionate.

"..."

Sitting on the other side, still wearing a suit, with a noble and elegant posture, Lucian, who looked a bit out of place with the two, rubbed his forehead speechlessly.

What exactly are these two busy with?

Clearly, counting from the time Cynthia went to Paldea to participate in the Masters Tournament, at least 80% of the work in this month has been his responsibility...

How did it seem like they had done a lot of work!

However, what Flint said was also quite right; after their big sister Cynthia returned, he could finally enjoy himself a little at the tail end of the holiday.

Thinking of this, the corners of Lucian's mouth lifted involuntarily.

He felt okay about the high-intensity work for nearly a month, but his daily training as a Trainer was inevitably left behind.

In order to go further in this year's assessment, he needed to work harder.

Rest? Non-existent!

Before his strength could keep up with his big sister, he would never relax for a single day!

"..."

For some reason, Flint on the side suddenly shivered and subconsciously looked at Lucian.

Just by looking at each other, Flint immediately saw through the thoughts in this guy's heart:

Good guy, as expected of the veritable "roll king" among our Sinnoh Elite Four; he's on holiday and still plans to continue rolling?

"You guys continue to play; I plan to go up and play some games first."

Lucian's tone was steady, as if it were just a casual sentence.

But after he spoke, the scene quickly fell into a strange silence.

Not only Flint, but even Aaron looked at him with complex expressions.

"You guy, you're going to roll behind our backs again!"

A workaholic like Lucian, he didn't even need to guess what game he would play!

Besides "Pokémon: Champion," what else could it be...

"No, I want to go up and watch the battle too!"

Flint reacted immediately and followed Lucian's footsteps.

Everyone is a new Elite Four member of Sinnoh; if only you secretly improve, wouldn't other Trainers think we are slackers?

No, you roll, then I have to follow!

"... As you wish."

Lucian was expressionless, nodded lightly, and walked up the stairs.

Speaking of which, the styles of the three of them actually conflict a bit, so they often learn from each other.

Flint specializes in using Sunny Day teams, focusing on being headstrong, and starts attacking immediately at the beginning.

Fire-type itself is very restraining to Aaron's Bug-type Pokémon, and the Baton Pass team also needs a period of turnover to exert its full strength, so the game against Flint will become very difficult.

As for the Psychic-type and Trick Room teams he specializes in, they happen to make Flint's speed attack tactics unable to exert their power, and he is forced to play with his brain.

But Flint's brain...

Those who understand, understand.

Instead, Aaron's Bug-type Baton Pass team is very restraining to him, because opening Trick Room will definitely give him a chance to strengthen, and Bug-type moves also pose a certain threat to his Pokémon.

Inexplicably formed a relationship of mutual restraint.

However...

It is indeed necessary to have suitable opponents to keep progressing on the path of a Trainer.

Except for existences with perverted talents like Cynthia.

Speaking of which, the Paldea Gym Leader who teamed up with Cynthia in this Dragon-type Masters Tournament and made a splash with Pachirisu seems to be the streamer that Cynthia recommended to Aaron before?

Not only is he good at singles, but even in doubles, he can cooperate tacitly with the Champion, making the two veteran Elite Four members difficult to handle...

Such an excellent Trainer, how good would it be if he could come to Sinnoh to serve as an Elite Four member?

After walking into Lucian's study on the third floor, Flint was dumbfounded— ===== CHAPTER 377 =====
