Chapter 392

As for how to do it, the simplest way is naturally to understand Teacher Yu's heart through a battle.

In the Pokémon world, there is nothing that a battle cannot solve.

If there is, then have another one!

With this idea, Kieran soon finished the whole Cabo Poco Path, and according to the map guidance of the Rotom Phone, found his target location—

Sunny Gym!

When he arrived at Cabo Poco, he didn't even need map guidance; he already knew the location of the Sunny Gym.

Because not far from a building, the "Ogre" he knew well was stepping on the land, using a mask to guide the power of nature to make the seeds grow faster.

No, it should be called Ogerpon now.

Kieran shook his head.

Once he was also misled by the circulating legends like the villagers, thinking that the Ogre was a terrifying existence.

Only Teacher Yu completely ignored these rumors, chose to believe in his own will, and stood firmly by Ogerpon's side.

So, the Ogre of Kitakami finally became Teacher Yu's companion.

Although he had always regarded the Ogre as his kind and looked forward to meeting it one day and subduing it as a partner.

But...

Watching Ogerpon in the distance with a happy smile on its face, completely different from when it was in Kitakami, Kieran couldn't help but shake his head and didn't go up to say hello.

When he couldn't take that most critical step, he knew very well in his heart that he could no longer become the Ogre's partner.

Only a shining person like Teacher Yu was qualified to subdue Ogerpon.

Kieran hated his weak self at the time, so he wanted to become stronger, so that he could also be as cool as Teacher Yu!

Thinking silently in his heart, Kieran's pace quickened, and he soon walked to the gate of the Sunny Gym.

"Ga-ao?"

On the soft cushion in front of the gate, Miraidon, who seemed to be one of Teacher Yu's partners, glanced at him, and soon narrowed his eyes to bask in the sun.

Did he recognize me?

Kieran was stunned.

In order to break with his past self, he actually changed his hairstyle.

Unlike the sea urchin head that looked gloomy before, he had now moved the excess hair to the back of his head.

According to his sister, this would make him look more energetic?

(Looks roughly like this)

After doing a few minutes of psychological construction at the gym door, Kieran finally summoned the courage to slowly raise his hand and knock on the door.

"Is, is anyone there?"

"I'm here to challenge the gym..."

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, the momentum just now was gone.

"So that's it, didn't enroll in Naranja Academy, just came to challenge the gym?"

After listening to Kieran's words, Qingyu nodded with a subtle expression.

"Yes!"

Kieran nodded fiercely, looked up at Qingyu with sincere star eyes.

"I also want to become as powerful as Teacher Yu, so I want to feel Teacher Yu's heart through battle!"

It's not that there is any problem with his behavior; in fact, cross-regional challenges are reasonable and compliant.

Like Nemona, who challenged gyms in various regions since she was a child, she practiced such a good command foundation.

The main problem is—

Is Kieran's hairstyle a bit dangerous?

In the game, this is the hairstyle that will only appear after he turns dark, representing that he has fallen into the "winner takes all" devil's den, and will even throw a Master Ball at Terapagos without hesitation in order to become stronger.

Qingyu was also the first time to see a local in the Pokémon world playing like this, and he was stunned at the time.

If it is the dark version of Kieran, he seems to have no good way, so he can only use battle to give him "psychological treatment".

But looking at his expression now, he should not have reached the level of turning dark, at most he is just a bit confused, right?

Thinking of this, Qingyu sighed silently.

The gym assessment he prepared this week doesn't seem to be very suitable for Kieran now.

No choice, he can only find a way to make up for it in the battle.

"Then, let's do the questions first."

"Do questions?"

Not only Kieran, but even many viewers were stunned.

【Do questions? Teacher Yu, this is a gym, not a Pokémon school!】

【You don't understand this, right? Exams are also a feature of the Sunny Gym; Teacher Yu's questions will give the tactics and configurations he assesses every week. As long as you can answer the questions, you can get a lot of useful information~】

【A bit interesting, this is really Teacher Yu...】

Although he didn't quite understand Qingyu's meaning, Kieran at this period was still relatively obedient, at least unlike Okamoto and some students of Naranja Academy who skipped this line when they came for the first time.

For many previous tactics, Qingyu actually put the information directly on their faces. As long as they could guess it, even if their strength was average, they could easily pass the assessment.

In this case, they chose to skip the key plot, and then came in and found that they didn't understand the mechanism at all, and gave a bad review in return...

Can this be blamed on him!

Just thinking about it makes my blood pressure a bit high.

Kieran picked up the test paper, which had only five simple questions.

Question 1: Please list the weaknesses of the Dark + Ghost composite attribute.

Question 2: What is the effect of the Prankster ability?

Question 3: The three items in the Choice series have the same side effects; please briefly summarize them.

Question 4: What is the effect of the move Disable?

Question 5: When a Pokémon falls into a situation where it cannot use moves, what will happen?

Five questions that looked completely nonsensical made Kieran frown.

Although he hadn't enrolled yet, he still had some common sense; at least he could answer the first three questions.

So Kieran took out his Rotom Phone directly, clicked on the Pokédex, and began to confirm his ideas.

To this, Qingyu just raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

【Referee! Someone is cheating blatantly!】

【Teacher Yu didn't say anything; it should be allowed to use the Pokédex, right?】

【I feel like Teacher Yu is even a bit gratified? Is he saying "finally someone with a brain came to challenge" 2333】

The barrage really didn't guess wrong, and Qingyu was even a bit moved.

Because in the long time that has passed, the students who came to challenge the Sunny Gym were almost all greenhorns or stubborn people.

Like Kieran, who directly took out the Pokédex to organize information, he definitely counts as an honor student among honor students.

And soon, he locked the answer based on the two keywords of "Dark + Ghost" composite attribute and "Prankster" ability—

Sableye!

(Sableye from the front)

This Pokémon is not distributed in Kitakami, so Kieran doesn't know if it is powerful or not.

However, according to the base stats given by the Pokédex, this Pokémon should be a relatively weak existence, and it doesn't even have an evolution form.

【What an ugly Pokémon, it looks like a bad guy at first glance!】

【There are very few trainers who will use this Pokémon, and it has almost no combat power. Teacher Yu really likes to play with these strange guys.】

【But this is Teacher Yu; maybe he will take out some outrageous routines later...】

【Teacher Yu, is your Sableye okay...】

Because of using the Rotom Phone for live broadcast, Qingyu actually couldn't see what the barrage was saying.

Seeing that Kieran was almost ready, Qingyu soon smiled.

"Because of being promoted to an eight-gym, the difficulty of the Sunny Gym may be slightly increased."

"I understand!"

Kieran nodded.

He actually never thought about winning this time; he just wanted to see how a truly powerful trainer battles.

Being able to have a head-on battle with Teacher Yu was already worth the trip.

Qingyu nodded and looked at the battle field outside the gym.

"Then, the challenge rules this time are..."

"2v2 is fine."

Thinking of the tactics he would use next, Qingyu thought for a while and didn't choose the 1v1 battle mode he used most often before.

If he doesn't let the opponent rotate, it might be difficult to break the game next, and maybe even the mentality will explode.

It's just to guide Kieran's current psychology; it would be bad if it stimulated him further instead.

With this idea, Qingyu soon took out a Poké Ball from his pocket.

According to the test questions just now, Kieran had already guessed his starting Pokémon, and he was too lazy to hide it.

It is exactly the Sableye rented from the league and rarely used by anyone in various regions.
