Chapter 396

To be honest, the mainstream cognition of the Pokémon world really has no big problems.

From the perspective of race values alone, Sableye is indeed completely unsuitable as an output hand, and its performance on the defensive end is a bit short of passing.

Even the speed is not fast enough. Looking at the paper data, it is not suitable for battle at all!

But in the standard of evaluating a Pokémon, numerical value can only be considered a relatively important part.

Otherwise, Slaking, with 670 race values and even reaching the realm of gods, would not be ignored in this world.

If you follow this theory, Mega Mewtwo X should be on the same level as Mega Rayquaza.

Of course, the actual situation...

Those who understand, understand!

Let's not insult a certain counter-attack beast today!

In short, the creator god Arceus closed the door for Sableye to win by numerical value, and at the same time left it a "secret path."

Relying on the hidden ability Prankster and a group of status moves that are not very good, Sableye has a place even in the environment where gods fight.

In the previous life, I believe many players would subconsciously frown when seeing this thing facing them.

The priority +1 status move has a really great lethality in the double battle environment.

Of course, single battle is not bad either.

For example, now, Kieran is facing the predicament created by Sableye.

How can there be such a bad Pokémon!

While he was thinking about how to break the game, the quickly shot Mean Look had already entered Sentret's body.

Due to the effect of Mean Look, its body soon emitted black energy, temporarily blocking the red light that recovers Pokémon into Poké Balls.

Unless a special replacement move is used, Sentret will not be able to be recovered.

But under the influence of the Choice Scarf, it is impossible for it to use any moves other than the "Charge Beam" locked at the beginning.

However, because of the effect of Disable, Sentret is temporarily unable to use the moves it used earlier.

Up to this point, Qingyu's tactics were finally fully displayed.

Unable to escape, unable to use moves, can only consume its own physical strength in endless struggle until it falls exhausted.

Complete blockade with no weaknesses.

【Teacher Yu, be a human, the child is almost crying!】

【Although, Teacher Yu actually let a lot of water go. He hinted at this tactic before the start, and obviously waited for a long time before using Mean Look just now.】

【Indeed, if it were a trainer with quick reactions, he should have recovered the Pokémon on the field, right.】

【That seems to be right. After all, Teacher Yu has always been this style. Compared to cultivating powerful Pokémon, he values the trainer's own level more.】

【Although I can understand, this routine is still very dirty!】

While Sentret was punching the air, Qingyu didn't command Sableye to go up and solve the opponent quickly.

He was silently observing Kieran's facial expression, seemingly waiting for something.

As a "big brother" who understands the plot and also truly knows this little guy who aspires to become the strongest trainer in Kitakami, he knows very well that Kieran is actually a very sensitive and fragile child.

In the game plot, his purpose for becoming stronger is very simple—

Because he lost to the protagonist in the competition for Ogerpon, he stubbornly felt that his strength was not enough, which led to failure.

If he became stronger, maybe the one who got Ogerpon at the beginning would be him.

With this idea, the dark Kieran soon had a group of powerful Pokémon and used them to overturn the entire Blueberry Academy, becoming the "champion" among them.

However, even if he seized the opportunity to forcibly capture Terapagos with a Master Ball, he still lost to the protagonist in the end.

Is he not powerful enough?

Of course not, his team of Pokémon is almost at the level of a real champion.

The reason for this can only be that his heart is still that little brat who doesn't accept failure, and he hasn't grown at all.

So Qingyu is doing something very extreme now—

Showing the huge strength gap between the two sides, making Kieran have to accept failure.

And Kieran's expression is just as he thought; at this time, he is almost about to cry.

He thought his Pokémon would be easily crushed by Qingyu's main force, or "slightly better" after letting water go, giving him enough face.

But he never expected that he would be taken down easily in such an outrageous way, without any room for operation, and could only watch his Pokémon try their best and finally fall.

Why is it like this?

Is it because he is not powerful enough?

Of course, he is just a newcomer trainer, isn't it normal to lose to Teacher Yu?

No matter how strong he becomes, he will still be taken down easily like a child in front of Teacher Yu, right?

But why...

Why does he feel so uncomfortable?

Kieran suddenly realized the essence of Pokémon battles—

So that's it, is Pokémon battle a cruel game where only the winner can win everything?

Since that's the case, he really doesn't want to lose again...

"I, I admit..."

Just when Kieran's eyes gradually lost their light and his whole aura became wrong, Qingyu's voice soon came:

"Kieran, do you remember what I said before the battle started?"

Qingyu's words interrupted Kieran's thinking and forced Kieran to start recalling what he said before this battle started.

Stick to your original intention?

The four words that made a deep impression on Kieran soon appeared in his mind.

At the same time, Qingyu spoke again:

"Actually, I can feel that Kieran, your determination to become an excellent trainer is not fake, and you are also working hard to move in this direction."

"..."

Kieran looked up at Qingyu with confused eyes.

"But if you want to become a powerful trainer, failure is also indispensable."

Qingyu sighed.

"This might be a very difficult battle, but please feel your passion and power through this battle, Kieran."

After the opening remarks before the battle started were said by Qingyu again, even the barrage soon discovered that something was wrong.

【Is that child emitting black energy? Is he going to be turned dark by Teacher Yu?】

【It's just a gym challenge, not to that extent...】

【So Teacher Yu had already anticipated that the opponent would turn dark, so he gave a preventive injection in advance...】

【Haji Yu, you guy is terrifyingly skilled...】

Indeed, as the barrage said, Qingyu had already anticipated what would happen.

Therefore, knowing that Kieran was just a newcomer, he insisted on using this tactic that would fall into an unsolvable predicament if no solution was found.

"If you want to grow, try to walk out of the failure just now, summarize the lessons and come again."

"Failure is not terrible. Being able to summarize experience from it and having the courage to come again is the basic quality that an excellent trainer needs to possess."

After Qingyu finished speaking, he showed a warm smile and looked at Kieran.

"..."

Kieran was silent for a moment, and his eyes were always watching Qingyu.

So, is this what it means?

Did Teacher Yu see through my obsession from the beginning, so he said such words before the battle.

Really...

Kieran shook his head, and his eyes gradually regained their light.

He looked at Qingyu again, and at the same time reached out to silently wipe away the few tears that appeared because he watched Sentret fall.

As expected, Teacher Yu is a very remarkable person, no wonder the students in Paldea are keen to challenge the Sunny Gym repeatedly.

Even the gloomy self was infected by him.

"I understand, Teacher Yu."
