Chapter 573: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 278

~11 min read 2,037 words

Judging from the various messy interference moves, they seemed to have studied deeply in Teacher Yu's stream, right...

Therefore, Clair quickly discovered the truth—

Why were other Gym Leaders speed-run?

Because the Johto region was a very traditional place; one could clearly feel it from the cultural atmosphere of Ecruteak City, Violet City, and the Blackthorn City where she was located.

The people here were very peaceful, basically busy with their own careers, and a considerable number of people didn't even use mobile phones much.

Especially for Gym Leaders, it was even more so.

Falkner, whose goal was to be a searcher and took his cousin as an idol; Bugsy, who was still in the bug-catching boy period; Master Chuck, who was a martial arts fanatic; Pryce, who had long since retired and was incredibly tolerant of newcomers...

If it weren't for Pryce letting water daily, how could she have served as a gatekeeper Gym Leader with her qualifications.

Thinking about it this way, the old Gym Leaders in Johto with strength were happy to see newcomers pull out new tricks and decisively gave them badges; the newcomer Gym Leaders with relatively average strength were information-lagged and couldn't stop this group of newcomers who had been strengthened by Teacher Yu.

So that's why this scene appeared, right?

Although Clair had tried her best to treat this group of newcomers with high requirements, she still had to admit—

Teacher Yu's teachings were truly useful; this group of newcomers all showed very good competitive strength, and it shouldn't be difficult to get into the top 16 in past tournaments.

Therefore, after assessing them for these days, Clair instead felt that she was a bit unable to keep up with those newcomers...

If she used hard strength to crush them, it felt like it violated the original intention of setting up the Gym.

If she wanted to improve, maybe she should really witness how an excellent Gym Leader assessed newcomers?

It just so happened that cousin Lance gave this opportunity, so Clair decisively agreed.

If you wanted to talk about the most popular Gym Leader who was most welcomed by newcomers, it must be Qing Yu.

Not only was he "highly praised" locally in Paldea, with many challengers coming to accept his assessment every day, but even newcomers from other regions were mostly his fans.

Therefore, in terms of training newcomers, Qing Yu must have his own unique way.

She should also go and learn from him.

Seeing her cousin agree so decisively, Lance, who was still thinking about what reason to find, was silent for a moment and nodded with a straight face.

"I understand."

"I will tell Qing Yu, let's set the time for the day after tomorrow."

Monday morning.

Qing Yu, who had finished washing up, opened the Gym door, faced the cloudless good weather, and the branches that had just sprouted not far away, and stretched shallowly.

Unknowingly, the winter that wasn't very cold passed quietly, and the breath of spring arrived quietly.

Even Miraidon, who was addicted to slacking off, didn't refresh in his big cat nest today, but walked leisurely near the Gym, feeling a series of changes quietly occurring on the surface.

Noticing Miraidon in the distance, even Qing Yu himself rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and after confirming he hadn't seen wrong, he let out a sigh.

"The sun really rose from the west..."

Speaking of which, the five seasonings were almost gathered, leaving only the last Titan Pokémon hidden in Casseroya Lake; theoretically, Miraidon's injuries should have recovered almost completely.

However, this iron-skinned Cyclizar had completely adapted to the leisurely slacking life, and it was impossible to tell whether it had recovered its strength at all.

It was the same in the game; even if it gathered the power of the five seasonings, Miraidon was just a means of transportation.

If he wanted to let it break through its inner demons, did he really have to go to Area Zero to face its nemesis?

Qing Yu was thinking, when suddenly his phone in his pocket vibrated slightly, attracting his attention.

He didn't have many friends on his Navigator, and for a period of time, because he pointed out the archaeological direction of searching for plates, Cynthia had been busy again.

So generally speaking, besides work content, no one should take the initiative to find him.

Opening it, it was actually a message sent by Lance on the Navigator.

The content was also concise and clear.

"Lance wants to come to Paldea with Clair for a trip? And specifically mentioned Casseroya Lake?"

Qing Yu immediately raised his eyebrows.

This matter seemed to really have something to do with him.

Before in the stream, he seemed to have mentioned Casseroya Lake, which was rich in Pokémon populations, and also suggested that Lance come and witness what new-era Dragon Pokémon were...

Since Lance was really interested, Qing Yu, as the host, naturally wouldn't be bad.

After decisively agreeing to Lance's invitation to travel together, the corners of Qing Yu's mouth unconsciously lifted into a smile.

Lance, in two days, I'll show you what Paldea's dragons are!

Because the IP came from the game, early Dragon Pokémon had always been synonymous with strength; the first generation even only had Dragonite as a lone seedling, which was Lance's absolute main force.

With the continuous iteration of game generations, more and more Dragon Pokémon appeared in other regions.

The powerful pseudo-legendary Salamence in the sky, the powerful Garchomp, and various Legendary Pokémon with the Dragon type...

They all fit the image of Dragon Pokémon in Lance's heart.

Powerful, handsome, and full of majesty.

However...

Sir, the times have changed!

In the subsequent regions, people could see dragons whose bodies were completely motorcycle structures, dragons named Exeggutor but with dragon energy, dragons that looked like little bugs crawling on trees, and dragons that were as mouth-watering as sushi...

In short, the definition of Dragon Pokémon was becoming wider and wider, and their images might cause no small impact on Lance's heart, who held "stereotypes," right?

In his mind, the scene of Lance going to Casseroya Lake and seeing a large group of Tatsugiri lining up to bask in the sun and being full of shock emerged, and the smile at the corners of Qing Yu's mouth became even more wanton.

"Boni yo..."

Ogerpon, who was watering the garden not far away, noticed Qing Yu's appearance.

Originally preparing to lean over and say hello to the trainer, and absorb the trainer's energy, it noticed the strange smile on Qing Yu's face, tilted its head in confusion, and the mask also turned 180 degrees.

The trainer seemed to be thinking about something strange, maybe he was going to play a prank on someone?

Since that was the case, better not disturb him...

Ogerpon decisively decided to withdraw its gaze and continue its daily work.

Qing Yu was immersed in his inner world, completely unaware of the world, when suddenly a sound of heavy objects falling came from behind.

"Ying?"

Interrupted in his thinking, he subconsciously turned his head and met the gaze of a Bagon whose head was buried halfway in the mud, struggling with its short legs, trying to struggle out of the ground.

"..."

Seeing this, Qing Yu sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, it had gained a wave of physical fitness from milk powder during this time, making its skull harder; otherwise, this operation might have made it stupid.

It was already silly enough; if it were any stupider, even if it evolved, it wouldn't have any dignity as a Dragon Pokémon...

Walking up in two or three steps, picking up the "free-falling" Bagon and flipping it over, Qing Yu immediately reached out and touched its skull.

Mm, no scars, not even a bump from jumping off the roof, its defense was top-notch.

"Ying!"

After breaking free from the shackles of the earth, Bagon immediately struggled in Qing Yu's arms, soon jumped back to the ground, and continued to run around looking for high places nearby to climb up.

Practicing flying was the life instinct of all Bagon; perhaps only when it truly built confidence and felt that it could definitely fly into the sky would Bagon have the potential to evolve into the sky king Salamence?

To this, Qing Yu expressed great expectations.

Anyway, this kind of behavior wouldn't hurt Bagon, plus there was the secret protection of Sableye, the "male mother," so just let the little guy grow up on its own.

Qing Yu thought so, turned and entered the Sun Gym.

Just as he entered, the guest room door opened, and Mewtwo, rubbing its eyes and looking exhausted, walked out of the room.

"Good morning."

Seeing Qing Yu, Mewtwo quickly greeted politely.

"..."

Qing Yu subconsciously scratched his head.

"Did you stay up late last night?"

Looking at Mewtwo's obviously withered mental state, did it stay up late last night?

But it seemed so; after all, just arriving in human society, it probably stayed up late to supplement knowledge again.

Being studious was of course a good thing, but if it affected its daily state, it was instead a bit of a loss.

"..."

To Qing Yu's question, Mewtwo was silent for a moment, and not knowing whether to lie or not, it chose to avoid it.

Actually, it didn't stay up late, but stayed up all night playing games...

No way, because losing to ordinary humans in the game was too frustrating, so much so that it played until it found that the sky was already bright.

Of course, this also indirectly proved Qing Yu's guess.

After sighing helplessly, Qing Yu immediately extended three fingers.

"For the sake of your health, let's make three conditions."

He couldn't let Mewtwo be raised to waste; otherwise, Mew would laugh at him to death, not even being able to raise a little ghost...

If he were laughed at by the irresponsible Mew, where would he put this handsome face!

Therefore, he absolutely couldn't raise Mewtwo into an internet-addicted teenager!

Mewtwo raised its head, looked at Qing Yu's serious eyes, and immediately lowered its head again.

"Yes!"

At this scene, it, who was already feeling guilty, suddenly had a strange feeling.

Before, Mew joked that it, born from the combination of its and human genes, should call it mother.

As for a father or something, it wasn't needed at all!

But Mewtwo at this moment suddenly felt—

Why does Qing Yu inexplicably have the feeling of an old father in human TV dramas?

No, no, no, it should be its own illusion...

"First, you must sleep before 12 o'clock from now on!"

Although for a Pokémon like Mewtwo that was good at psychic power, meditating for a while could restore energy, but it was only a few months old, and sleeping more in the growth period would make it grow taller!

"Second, you only have two hours of internet time every day from now on!"

For the "underage" Mewtwo, the temptation of the internet world was still too big; even if its intention was to learn, it had to combine work and rest.

"Third, since you want to be a trainer, spend more time getting along well with your Pokémon in the future."

Speaking of this, Qing Yu, who looked a bit angry just now, suddenly smiled and subconsciously reached out to touch Mewtwo's head.

After Qing Yu finished speaking in one breath, Mewtwo raised its head again and quickly nodded heavily.

"I know..."

Qing Yu's three conditions weren't harsh, and they were for its own good.

Therefore, Mewtwo instead didn't exclude them and decisively agreed.

At the same time, new confusion arose in its heart.

Clearly, both were mandatory requirements; why did every word of Giovanni make it feel so disgusted, while Qing Yu didn't?

Humans, they really are complex creatures.

Mewtwo suddenly realized that it might still have a long way to go to understand humans.

After "making three conditions" with Mewtwo, watching it walk into the washroom to wash up, Qing Yu also quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

Regarding how to get along peacefully with Mewtwo, he was actually a bit uneasy. ===== CHAPTER 575 =====
