Chapter 429

January 19, Monday.

Since it was the workday for open challenges at the Sunshine Gym, Qingyu had already finished washing up early in the morning and sat on the living room sofa to open Baoketv, checking the response to his newly released video from last night.

If you don't look, you wouldn't know; but once you look, it really leaves him stunned.

"What the heck, my video has become a打卡 spot for Miss Junsha?"

Scrolling down from the popular comments below the video, several consecutive pages are filled entirely with Miss Junsha.

Aside from the names and attire being slightly different, their appearances on the avatars can almost be said to be completely identical...

I can't tell them apart, I can't tell them apart!

After Qingyu scratched his head and closed the comment section, he suddenly realized.

"Right, the main force of the Siege Squad is the Swift Dog, so this episode's video is essentially a Miss Junsha lure, isn't it?"

The Joy and Junsha families, two super clans in the Pokémon world, aside from looking almost indistinguishable like clones, their greatest feature is the Pokémon they are bonded with.

The Joy family's Happiny/Blissey, and the Junsha family's Cottonee/Swift Dog.

These two Pokémon have extremely high environmental requirements for their wild habitats, so aside from Paldea, which has exceptionally rich ecological resources, their wild distribution is limited, thus requiring the two major families to artificially breed them to ensure the continuation of the two Pokémon species.

Over time, they have become deeply bonded with the Joy/Junsha families.

And the Siege Squad video I released today is also a valuable tactic worth learning for the Miss Junsha.

After all, Junsha and the police face off against lawless poaching teams or villainous organizations, where fighting them doesn't require following formalities—directly engaging in a brawl gets the job done.

Meanwhile, the Siege tactic holds even greater value in real combat than in the game, after all, in field battles, trainers can trigger the Justice Heart trait multiple times before combat begins, achieving the effect of instantly strengthening multiple Pokémon.

A group of recklessly charging, explosively powerful Swift Dogs, their lethality in real combat is terrifyingly high!

Speaking of which, does this count as me doing a good deed unintentionally?

If the Siege tactic becomes widespread, for the evil forces across regions, it would absolutely be a major disaster.

While Qingyu was mentally complaining, he quickly exited the video again and glanced at today's hot news on Baoketv.

"The most useful episode! Baoketv famous streamer 'Qingyu of the Azure Feather' released the Siege Squad video, sparking Miss Junsha and police operatives across regions to eagerly learn it, possibly significantly boosting regional safety?"

"The International Police under the Hezhonglian Alliance announced they will hold a temporary meeting tomorrow, to be conducted by Dragon-type Elite Mr. Du, training personnel from all regions on the new techniques of the Siege tactic."

"A psychic monster from Sinnoh has landed in Feiyun City of the Hezhonglian Alliance, attempting to challenge the Hezhonglian Four Elite positions."

"What utter nonsense is this..."

After glancing at today's top three hot searches, Qingyu scratched his head.

From the hot search trends, it seems my video this episode has gone a bit too viral, even startling the Dodo Birds of Guandoulian Alliance?

It seems normal enough, after all, currently the most dangerous regions are Guandoulian and Chengdoulian, with Team Rocket occasionally popping up to cause trouble, even gym leaders have received overtures from Team Rocket.

So seeing an opportunity to enhance overall combat strength, the Guandoulian Alliance will definitely seize it.

In fact, compared to the Junsha family, they might be the ones who need this tactic most right now.

But Qingyu never expected even the "Justice Envoy" Du to be so stirred by his video that he couldn't sit still, overnight organizing classes for other police to deepen their understanding...

"No wonder it's me, I've made myself so awesome, Cha Society waist!"

What truly constitutes a Justice Envoy!

Suggestion: Don't be ungrateful, Dodo Bird, hurry up and send me a medal!

As for the final media piece that left Qingyu's desire to complain fully satisfied, it should be about Gaudelia planning to go challenge the entire Hezhonglian Elite Four in the international competitions, challenging Champion Zhulan...

Earlier, when Qingyu traveled to North Shang Village, he had also heard of her decision.

And as he remembered, Gaudelia ultimately embarked on the journey to Hezhonglian to further her path.

The Battle Frontier still holds some renown among elite trainer circles, and as one of the leaders of the Sinnoh-Chengdoulian Battle Frontier, Gaudelia's journey to Hezhonglian to challenge the Elite Four positions naturally drew media attention.

However, this format...

I always feel there will be a follow-up.

Qingyu shook his head; he doesn't have any particular opinion about Gaudelia, only occasionally teasing her out of instinctive reaction.

If she can develop as in my memory, establishing herself in Hezhonglian and becoming one of the Four Elite, that would also be a good thing.

For Gaudelia, not only can she seize this opportunity to successfully prove her strength, but also gain the chance to face Champion Zhulan directly in international competitions, which is indeed better than staying in Sinnoh.

And for Hezhonglian, it would be even more of a win-win situation.

Hezhonglian Champion Adeak was originally a steady and composed champion, but after an accident several years ago that swept through the entire alliance, his initial partner, the Fire Moth, which had accompanied him to the peak, became extremely weak after the battle and departed first, leaving Adeak utterly devastated ever since.

Now he has no heart to manage alliance affairs, only wanting to find a reliable newcomer to entrust the championship to, then spend the rest of his life traveling.

Therefore, currently the connections between cities in the Hezhonglian Alliance basically rely entirely on gym leaders finding their own ways, aside from constructing the Blueberry Academy, there are basically no cooperative projects.

This is also what gave the Plasma Team the opportunity to develop.

"If Gaudelia were here, the Plasma Team probably wouldn't be able to cause such a big commotion, right?"

Qingyu couldn't help but think inwardly.

……

"Boni~"

Outside the Sunshine Gym, Dinggu Plant, as usual, carefully waters a field, two strains of plants with slightly different colors growing vigorously.

With Dinggu Plant, this little chef who can farm and simply prepare food, life at the Sunshine Gym has gradually become rich and colorful.

Through obtaining two kinds of secret传·seasonings by defeating the宝主, they have also gradually become prosperous.

"Gah-oh..."

Outside the gate, the leisurely strolling Miloton glanced at the energetic Dinggu Plant and silently shook his head.

He also doesn't know why this Dinggu Plant is so energetic, but obviously this has nothing to do with me being a layabout.

Having already decided to stay at the Sunshine Gym for retirement, I only need to occasionally fulfill my function as a means of transportation to enjoy free meals and lodging, resting 24 hours a day—a divine life.

How wonderful, how wonderful...

Compared to the time when I occasionally had to battle at the research lab and Zone Zero, now this place is practically heaven!

"Gah-ah…"

But for some reason, thinking about this, Milletun felt no joy in his heart; instead, his mood quickly turned gloomy.

Clearly it was my own choice, so why am I not happy now?

I don't get it.

After letting out a quiet sigh, Milletun quickly walked back to the cushion in front of the dojo and lay down.

It's come to this—let's just sleep!

"Boh-nee?"

The thoughtful Eerkogsoon quickly noticed Milletun's odd behavior and shot him a curious glance.

Come to think of it, it's been nearly half a month since I arrived at the Sunshine Dojo, and I've already become familiar with the other Pokémon, but only this Milletun—who seems unwilling to interact with anyone or any Pokémon and is lonely every day—has Eerkogsoon still not properly greeted him…

With that thought, Eerkogsoon quickly made up her mind—

I must try harder to become friends with Milletun too!

In the Sunshine Dojo, under Qing Yu's gaze, the Fairy Eevee was playing a "brain-boosting" mini-game with the Baby Dragon.

"Bwee~"

The Fairy Eevee skillfully controlled her ribbons, placing a purple energy cube in front of the Baby Dragon.

"Yeep!"

The Baby Dragon snorted hard, and upon catching a whiff of fragrance, quickly broke into a smile.

But just as it was about to chomp down and swallow the energy cube whole, the Fairy Eevee proactively retracted her ribbons, causing it to lunge at nothing.

"Bwee!"

Facing the Baby Dragon's confused stare, the Fairy Eevee helplessly shook her head, tightly wrapped the energy cube with her ribbons, then quickly pulled all four ribbons back behind her; after a few seconds, she placed the four ribbons back in front of the Baby Dragon.

"Yeep?"

Though only a month old, Pokémon growth cycles are inherently absurd, and the Baby Dragon now possesses a certain level of intelligence, so it quickly understood the Fairy Eevee's meaning.

"Yeep!"

After sniffing the scent on each of the Fairy Eevee's ribbons, the Baby Dragon quickly confirmed the answer.

"Bwee?!"
