Chapter 421

With the Beat Up team as the core, Xiang Qingyu's lineup was soon determined.

Whimsicott, Arcanine, Annihilape, Maushold, Indeedee (Female), and Dragapult.

The function of every Pokémon in this lineup is very prominent; because of the previous explanation, even the viewers can see it at a glance.

The support Whimsicott, the Justified Arcanine, and the Annihilape that Xiang Qingyu said would have miraculous effects naturally go without saying.

Xiang Qingyu had used Maushold a long time ago; this family mouse from Paldea can also use Beat Up, and it also takes into account a certain combat power and support ability, which is quite comprehensive.

As for Indeedee..., Xiang Qingyu often brings one in the team, because it comes with a field effect at the start and the Follow Me move, which is very suitable for his tactical style.

Finally, Dragapult, it is probably to stably suppress the opponent's speed and hit them by surprise?

In short, it should be a very pure lineup.

【Beat Up team sounds like it's not that underworld; it's similar to the last Weak Armor Rage Onix; Teacher Yu is finally playing some normal tactics today...】

【Where is it normal? Don't forget Whimsicott's ability is Prankster; just this one alone in Teacher Yu's hands can't be righteous!】

【Makes sense; is Teacher Yu going to start bullying his opponents again?】

"Don't talk nonsense; what do you mean by bullying opponents? Isn't this a proper tactical demonstration!"

While Xiang Qingyu was interacting with the comments, he started matching for doubles rankings.

Perhaps because of the influence of his live broadcast recently, or perhaps it's just that this new doubles mode makes many players curious, the number of players in doubles rankings has surged, and not long after it went online, it almost had half the number of the singles mode.

Therefore, the speed of matching opponents is also faster than before.

After lasting about half a minute, the matching interface soon disappeared, replaced by a prominent pop-up window indicating a successful match.

The opponent's image and ID that Xiang Qingyu matched this time soon appeared before his eyes along with the pop-up window.

Indigo long hair as smooth as a waterfall curved unnaturally behind her head, and the long hair that was originally close to the ground reached her buttocks in an S-shape.

A graceful figure paired with a hot and bold rose-red top and short skirt, and a pair of black pantyhose was clearly visible.

Below the bangs that were level with her forehead, a pair of soul-stirring crimson eyes pierced through the screen, as if they had spiritual energy, staring straight at her opponent.

Trainer ID: Psychic Sabrina

【My god, why is it her? Just looking at her appearance, Sabrina is really cute!】

【Isn't this Gym Leader Sabrina from Saffron City in Kanto? It is said that if you fail to challenge her, you will be made into a doll and placed in the gym, so many trainers don't dare to challenge her...】

【Your determination is too low! Being able to have a battle with such a beautiful beauty, even if you die, it's worth it!】

【Hope the person above is okay; this one is a terrifying psychic whose psychic power is far beyond Alakazam, known as a human Pokémon...】

"Tsk..."

Even Xiang Qingyu was stunned.

How did he match with Sabrina?

According to the current timeline, Team Rocket hasn't been destroyed in one breath by a certain genius who appeared out of nowhere.

I don't know if she is the closed-off gym leader in the game and anime lines, or the villain star who joined Team Rocket in the manga...

You must know that among the nine regions that have joined the Alliance, Paldea and the neighboring Galar are definitely the outliers among outliers.

In the Pokémon world, generally every region has one or more ambitious villain organizations ready to cause trouble at any time, and the collision between the protagonist and them forms the main plot of early Pokémon games.

The most classic of these is the evil organization "Team Rocket" that spans two generations of games and occupies the Indigo Plateau.

Of course, Xiang Qingyu probably doesn't need to worry about this part; after all, the two strongest "kid brothers" in this world should have already set off on their journey by now.

If nothing goes wrong, Team Rocket should be liquidated by the super new trainer before next year.

Apart from Team Rocket in Kanto and Johto, villain organizations in other regions are also mostly active in these few years.

Some are brothers, some are... there are nine such villain organizations in total, one per region on average.

Among them, the true villain of Galar is Rose, the Alliance Chairman who is worried about the "Dynamax energy that will dry up after 2000 years" and is preparing to solve the crisis in one breath.

Strictly speaking, he can't be considered a villain; essentially, he is still just for the development of the Alliance.

As for the villain organization in the Galar region, it is even more outrageous.

The "Team Yell" established to support Marnie from Spikemuth, because they wanted to help the local popular idol Marnie become the champion, did a lot of bad things.

To tell the truth, Xiang Qingyu was once an honorary member of Team Yell.

My god, Marnie is really cute!

But this kind of villain organization whose reason for doing evil is even a bit funny is clearly not enough compared to other regions.

Others are all thinking about destroying the world; how come you guys are so disappointing?

Hey, you guys are really the worst villain organization I've ever seen!

Wait... it seems we in Paldea are not much better?

Paldea, where Xiang Qingyu is located, has no sense of crisis at all; everything is easily resolved by Chairman Geeta, the only sun in Paldea.

The protagonist only needs to go to school and run the map; apart from going deep into Area Zero, there is almost no danger...

Moreover, even Team Star, this "villain organization" against school bullying, it's hard to say whether it will even appear after he messes with it.

Today is also a peaceful day in Paldea~

Of course, the safety of Galar and Paldea is actually inseparable from the responsibilities shouldered by the Alliance Champions; whether it is Leon or Geeta, they both do their best to maintain the stability of the Alliance and can definitely be counted as model workers among champions.

It is precisely because of this that these two regions are so safe, right?

While the vast majority of other Alliance regions definitely cannot be counted as stable, especially Kanto and Johto, which have been slow to produce a champion, leading to the huge hidden danger of Team Rocket.

If it's the vengeful Sabrina of Team Rocket, I feel like if I win, I'll be targeted by her...

However, it seems there's not much difference for himself?

Anyway, Kanto and Paldea are a hundred thousand miles apart; even if I win, Sabrina won't cross the ocean to come offline and find me, right?

Thinking of this, Xiang Qingyu soon revealed a smile.

Maybe I can take the opportunity to beat this gym leader and help her find the problems in her command?

"There are also levels among gym leaders; today I'll let you see who is the best fighter among gym leaders!"

【Arrogant, Teacher Yu, arrogant!】

【The streamer seems to have never lost when facing experts; he beats up Elite Four and gym leaders alike; it's outrageous!】

【Is Teacher Yu the one who understands live broadcasting best among gym leaders, and the one who knows how to be a gym leader best among streamers 2333】

Kanto region, Saffron City.

Saffron is the color of shining brilliance and gold.

As the center of the Kanto region, the hub town connecting Cerulean City, Celadon City, Vermilion City, and Lavender Town in four directions, Saffron City is also the largest and busiest city in the entire Kanto region.

Here, not only is there the Silph Co., a leader in world manufacturing and the largest production base for Poké Balls, but it also boasts the most prosperous central business district in Kanto and a maglev train station connecting the Johto region and spanning multiple cities.

The importance of Saffron City to the Kanto region and even the Indigo Plateau is self-evident.

Therefore, there are even two adjacent gyms here, jointly serving as the reliance for defending the city's safety.

However, such a pattern was completely broken a few years ago.

Because the strength of the daughter of the previous Saffron Gym was too powerful, she was enough to guard the entire city by herself, causing the popularity of the other Fighting Dojo to plummet.

If it weren't for the power to issue badges, and some trainers who failed to challenge the Saffron Gym would brush their records, it would probably have been ignored long ago.

And the fundamental reason for the rise and fall of the two gyms is the current owner of the Saffron Gym, the most powerful psychic in Saffron City and even the entire Kanto region, and the future unlimited Sabrina.

"Umm..."

Sabrina, who was holding a doll, opened her sleepy eyes and subconsciously used psychic power to open the phone by the bed, which hovered in front of her.

"It's already twelve o'clock..."

"Today seems to be... the day for newcomers to set off on their journey?"

After lying on the bed and relaxing her brain for a few minutes, Sabrina suddenly recalled this matter.

From today on, the number of newcomer trainers coming to challenge the gyms in various cities should become more and more.

However, it shouldn't have much to do with her, right?

After all, the rumor that appeared from nowhere a while ago about "If you challenge the Saffron Gym, you will be turned into a doll if you lose!" has already caused the number of challengers at the Saffron Gym to drop sharply.

As for where this statement came from...

Apart from the gym leader of the neighboring Fighting Dojo "accidentally saying it" to get back at her, it should only be the little tricks Team Rocket played to put pressure on her and hope she would join them, right?

But regarding this rumor, Sabrina was too lazy to come forward to clarify.

At least her workload had indeed decreased a lot, and she had time to do what she liked.

It's not necessarily a bad thing.

"So troublesome, don't want to go to work..."

Sabrina sighed and sat up from the bed with difficulty.

"Whether it's gym challenges or Team Rocket, they are all so troublesome; it would be better if they were all destroyed..."

This thorn of Team Rocket has been in Kanto for a long time, and it is even said that several gym leaders have chosen to join them under coercion and inducement.

Even the two most senior gym leaders, Blaine and Sakaki, seem to have become members of Team Rocket.

Regarding the choices of other gym leaders, Sabrina indeed couldn't say she didn't understand.

After all, facing Team Rocket with unknown strength with the limited power of a single gym is clearly like throwing an egg against a rock.

It is precisely because she saw through this point that Team Rocket could gradually erode other cities, slowly covering the entire Kanto region with its roots and forming an underground network with terrifying energy.

Today's Team Rocket, I'm afraid only by gathering the power of the entire Alliance could it be wiped out.

Just...

Does the Indigo Alliance, which hasn't decided on a champion for many years and has become accustomed to being loose, really still have the ability to integrate the entire region?

Out of rational consideration, she should join Team Rocket without hesitation now, so that at least she could keep Saffron City operating normally and not be targeted by Team Rocket.

But if she did that, what's the difference from becoming an accomplice to Team Rocket?

"If only I could get the answer using psychic power..."

Sabrina sighed again.

Although foreseeing the future can indeed see some fragments of the future, she doesn't like this feeling of "fate is already set," so she rarely uses this ability to observe her own future.

"Things have come to this, let's play games first."

Sabrina soon gave up thinking and threw the answer to her future self.

Anyway, it's twelve o'clock in the middle of the night now; there shouldn't be anyone coming to challenge the gym at this time, plus the complex teleportation maze in the gym, even if someone really came to challenge, they would have to wander inside for half a day.

(Saffron Gym is the earliest gym to use teleportation traps, which can be considered a classic design in Pokémon gyms~)

Moreover, she felt in the dark—

Perhaps her confusion would find an answer through this game.

The sixth sense of a psychic has always been very accurate, so Sabrina decided to believe in herself.

Therefore, after a simple wash, Sabrina soon came to the console, opened "Pokémon Champion," and started her doubles ranking journey.

Psychics, in order to maintain the ability of highly active thinking during battles, generally take into account doubles battles, allowing themselves to keep thinking at high speed at all times.

Therefore, Sabrina has been slaughtering in doubles rankings since the new season; even though she hasn't played many games, her rank is not low.

And when she soon matched with an opponent, she suddenly frowned.

The opponent's ID is "Azure Feather."

Even if Sabrina doesn't surf the internet much, she has still heard a little bit about this "Teacher Yu."

It is said that he is a very powerful gym leader, and he also has his own understanding of tactical teaching, which is why he can become popular all over the internet.

"Interesting."

Seeing the trainer image on the opposite side, Sabrina couldn't help but hook up a smile.

Regardless of any guidance of fate or other interference in reality, let's just have a refreshing battle with peace of mind!
