Chapter 633: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 316

Xiang Qingyu nodded.

Since the audience requested it, he could only comply.

And just as he lowered his head and fell into thought, intending to make his thinking as easy to understand as possible, the Rotom phone on the table suddenly started to vibrate.

Xiang Qingyu subconsciously raised an eyebrow and looked at the phone.

At this time, someone would actually call him?

He didn't think much, and while reaching out to take it, he immediately caught a glimpse of the eye-catching words on the screen, and then stood frozen on the spot.

A video call invitation from the Navigator.

As for the caller—

Zhulan!

"Lost."

Facing the bright red "Failure" sign on the screen, Zhulan shook her head helplessly, but for some reason, a strange smile hung on her face.

In terms of on-the-spot reaction and command level, Xiang Qingyu's strength seems to be even above her own.

Usually when playing ranked, she doesn't really use her full strength, only aiming for relaxation.

Just like when sparring with other trainers with weaker strength, Spiritomb lead and Roserade lead are very common things.

But this time, after successfully sniping Xiang Qingyu, she had actually gone all out.

And, honestly, this battle wasn't exactly fair.

Because she watched Xiang Qingyu's stream and knew he was about to start ranking, Zhulan could know Xiang Qingyu's lineup in advance, so she had more preparation time.

So from the beginning, Zhulan analyzed the function of every Pokémon of Xiang Qingyu in the lineup incredibly seriously and made corresponding solutions in advance.

For example, before the start, she had already roughly guessed that Xiang Qingyu's lead would be Skarmory.

The reason is also very simple—

Xiang Qingyu is indeed very talented in battles, even making them, the Champions, feel very exaggerated.

So, he will definitely make reasonable judgments based on his lineup.

And reasonable means it can be predicted.

As expected, he chose Skarmory as the lead at the start, preventing Lucario from entering the field and directly crushing the weather setter Tyranitar.

It can be said that the development of the first few rounds was roughly within Zhulan's expectations, so she actually had a small advantage at the start.

The only thing she didn't calculate was that Xiang Qingyu would send Garchomp to matchup against her.

And, his Garchomp was actually a durability-focused configuration, withstanding the attack of Outrage and still standing tall.

A very unique line of thought, but the effect was surprisingly good.

It was also from that moment that the balance of the situation began to be broken.

Although there were a few times when there seemed to be a glimmer of hope for a comeback, before she could seize the opportunity, Xiang Qingyu had already realized this and quickly blocked his own flaws.

In the middle stage, the two fell into a pure game of seeing moves and dismantling moves, and the previous layout didn't play a very good role.

Judging from the results, Xiang Qingyu was naturally better.

However...

Although she lost in the game and her ranking dropped a few places, Zhulan only felt happy for Xiang Qingyu, but also felt a bit of a pity.

Compared to returning to Shenao, perhaps inheriting a Gym Leader position is the most correct path for Xiang Qingyu?

If it weren't for those things that happened back then, perhaps Xiang Qingyu's talent would have been shown even earlier...

As she was about to fall into memories, Zhulan shook her head.

The past is already in the past, and the current Xiang Qingyu has already embarked on the path he chose himself.

So, she just needs to support him as always.

So Zhulan quickly took out her phone.

Speaking of which, she was still quite curious—

Xiang Qingyu usually reviews after a battle, right? Like after winning against Mikeli before, he completely and reasonably parsed Mikeli's thinking.

Then, this battle should be no exception, right?

Thinking of this, Zhulan clicked into the stream.

Sure enough, it was just as she guessed, it was exactly when Xiang Qingyu promised the audience that he was ready to start reviewing.

However, it seems Xiang Qingyu is also struggling?

Is it that he hasn't fully figured out her thinking? Or doesn't know how to show it to the audience?

Zhulan was more inclined to the latter.

But in fact, there is a simpler way to make the efficiency of this review greatly improved—

Why not just find the opponent in this battle and connect with them?

Since Xiang Qingyu didn't think of it, then she will give him a little hint~

With such a thought, the corners of Zhulan's mouth quickly rose.

"Garch?"

Garchomp, which had been burying its head to minimize its presence, felt something. As soon as it looked up, it saw its trainer showing a smile.

And...

The connected call interface.

Combined with everything that just happened, even without thinking, it knew who was on the other side.

Garchomp's face collapsed immediately.

Damn Xiang Qingyu!

If it weren't for him, why would it be so embarrassed that it could only squat in the corner now?

If he dares to continue to roast it on the phone this time, it must give him a hard lesson next time they meet!

The sudden video call gave Xiang Qingyu a fright.

However, he also quickly reacted. Zhulan should be in his stream, which is why she would call him at the first moment he decided to review, applying for a "second battle."

Regarding the relationship between him and Zhulan, although it seems it hasn't been explicitly stated in the stream, most of the viewers should probably know some of it.

After all, if he told the truth that he was actually from Shenao and only came to Paldea for work, the students at Orange Academy might have a small mental explosion.

But at least the fact that he and Zhulan have a good relationship is obvious.

Then, since Zhulan has taken the initiative to call now, what else does he have to hide?

"Brothers, because of some sudden situation, let's change the review method today."

Xiang Qingyu spoke with deep meaning.

Just as the comments were still wondering, he had already quickly pressed the answer button.

As the Navigator's prompt sounded, a light screen extended from the Rotom phone's screen, and the video call with the holographic projection function was turned on.

Thus, in the stunned state of the audience, Zhulan's image quickly appeared in front of them.

"??? Teacher Yu, you are really doing it, you even invited the Shenao Champion, do you have to be so outrageous?"

"In terms of connections, Teacher Yu has always had things. Don't mention humans, even Legendary Pokémon seem to be on his social list..."

"No, I came to learn techniques, why are you feeding me dog food? Do you believe I will unfollow you right now?"

"What is called Shenao Champion and Teacher Yu reviewing together? There is such a good thing? Brothers, could it be that I am actually the child of destiny?"

The style of the comments became more and more crooked, but at this time Xiang Qingyu clearly couldn't care about the brothers in the stream.

"Long time no see, Xiang Qingyu."

Zhulan's gentle voice came first, making Xiang Qingyu in the stream screen subconsciously smile.

"Hmm... but we will meet again soon!"

While Xiang Qingyu spoke, he quickly clicked on the battle recording just now.

"Since you are here, let's not waste time and get straight to the point!"

"??? You come back, what is called meeting again soon, Teacher Yu, are you going to hide Zhulan privately!"

"No, how many episodes did I miss? Who can tell me what the relationship between Teacher Yu and Champion Zhulan is, why do I feel like I have no memory of this..."

"If you had watched Teacher Yu's stream commentary on the Dragon-type Master Tournament, you would understand. I can't say the specifics, anyway, these two people are nine out of ten suspicious, there must be an inside story!"

"After winning the Master Tournament at that time, Champion Zhulan specifically mentioned Teacher Yu. Thinking back now... TMD, was I fed a mouthful of dog food at that time?"

"Truth be told, I don't know whether to envy Teacher Yu or Zhulan for a moment..."

The comments scrolled wildly, and a small part of them quickly caught Xiang Qingyu's attention.

"Don't talk nonsense, speaking of which, this matter seems to have something to do with you guys, it's not impossible to say it in advance."

After thinking about how to say it, Xiang Qingyu spoke again quickly.

"I will go to the Chengdou region at the end of the month to participate in the Psychic Master Tournament, so the Sunshine Gym will be temporarily closed for a period of time."

"So if the students of Orange Academy want to challenge the Gym, remember to come a few days early or late~"

As soon as this was said, the audience was shocked.

"Wait a minute? What does the Psychic Master Tournament have to do with you, Teacher Yu? Do you have Psychic-type Pokémon to participate???"

"I know this one. Didn't Teacher Yu just release a popular science video about Mew yesterday? This time it's a live demonstration, but is it a bit bullying for a Mythical Pokémon to participate?"

"Teacher Yu is still too comprehensive. How long has he debuted, and he's already playing in the attribute Master Tournament. Is he going to prepare for the Master Tournament next..."

"I understand the truth, but even if I take a step back, Teacher Yu really hid two Psychic-type Pokémon, meeting the participation requirements, what does it have to do with Champion Zhulan?"

"Psychic user Natsume:..."

At this moment, Natsume, who was far away in the Guandou region, had a frozen expression for a moment.

Teacher Yu is going to participate in the Psychic Master Tournament?

Then, the Pokémon he will carry seems to be very obvious.

There will likely be a spot for Mewtwo.

As for the second Pokémon required by the rules...

It couldn't be Mew, right?

Thinking of this, Natsume's mood suddenly became complicated.

If it was just Mewtwo, although the growth potential is very high, it shouldn't be too powerful at present.

But Mew... she had seen Xiang Qingyu use it with her own eyes.

The terrifying transformation ability, the instant movement that could not observe energy fluctuations and thus could not be countered, plus the outrageous effect of the terrifying move pool combined with sealing moves.

If it's a combination of Mewtwo + Mew, this Master Tournament should have no suspense, right?

Thinking of this, Natsume couldn't help but shake her head.

However, having a chance to face Teacher Yu head-on, it feels quite good?

As long as you don't aim for the Champion, but think about how to learn more ideas from the battle and strive to improve yourself...

Is this Master Tournament quite meaningful?

Natsume couldn't help but think so.

After thinking everything through, her gaze returned to the stream.

Clearly, while video calling with Xiang Qingyu, Zhulan was also paying attention to the comments in the stream.

So before Xiang Qingyu could explain, she spoke first:

"Because a friend and Xiang Qingyu are both going to participate in this competition, I will also go to the scene to cheer for them~"
