Chapter 690: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 352

~10 min read 1,964 words

And this Psychic Master Tournament was the preliminary verification of his thoughts.

On the battle field that attracted much attention.

Xiang Qingyu looked at the young man in front of him wearing a black mask and looking a bit chuunibyou, and chose to speak proactively.

"Hello, contestant Will."

"Let's have a passionate battle."

Xiang Qingyu's voice penetrated the cheers and shouts from the stands, making Will on the other side slightly stunned.

(Will, can't even find a picture without a mask)

But soon, he also revealed a smile, placed one hand elegantly on his chest, and bowed politely to Xiang Qingyu.

"Teacher Yu, it is my honor to have a battle with you."

"There are too few opportunities to challenge you online, I didn't expect to meet you first at the Attribute Master Tournament."

Good guy... even you are a fan?

A complex look appeared on Xiang Qingyu's face.

If you count the several seeded contestants who are familiar with him, this Psychic Master Tournament is really just a fan tournament for the "Azure Feather" live broadcast room!

"Please give me your advice."

After Xiang Qingyu nodded, the two stopped talking and turned their eyes to the referee on the side.

"Then... the battle begins!"

While the referee made the announcement and quietly ran to the safe area behind him, Xiang Qingyu and Will each threw out their first Poké Ball.

At the same time, both sides were also secretly thinking.

From this moment on, the game between each other quietly began.

In the previous group stage, Will had used Xatu, Jynx, Slowbro, and Exeggutor, and was a very pure single-attribute trainer.

Therefore, theoretically, if Xiang Qingyu sent out Lucario, which was already known to counter the opponent, the advantage would be very large.

Will thought so too.

However... when the Pokémon of both sides appeared, everyone, including the two of them and Lance at the commentary table, was shocked for a moment.

"Contestant Will has sent out a brand new combat force that has never appeared before—"

"Not a Psychic-type, but the Fairy Pokémon from Mt. Moon, Clefable! Will it be the trump card against Xiang Qingyu?"

While Miss Hu Tao began her passionate commentary, Lance turned his gaze to the Pokémon on Xiang Qingyu's side.

Then, his eyes narrowed immediately.

Mewtwo...

After solving the Viridian Gym and Giovanni, Mewtwo chose to follow Xiang Qingyu to the Paldea region.

Regarding this, Lance was naturally 100% at ease.

As a "justice messenger" who spent his whole life pursuing absolute justice, he could feel the irrepressible sense of justice in Xiang Qingyu's heart.

He had a vague feeling from the beginning—

If it were Xiang Qingyu, he might indeed be able to gain Mewtwo's final recognition through long-term interaction.

However, he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

How long had it been, and Xiang Qingyu had already successfully captured Mewtwo, who chose not to trust humans because of Team Rocket?

And...

This was not an isolated case.

Like Mewtwo, even more ridiculous things had happened to Xiang Qingyu.

For example, he had witnessed with his own eyes that at the closing ceremony of the Dragon Master Tournament, a black Rayquaza suddenly killed its way to the field just to give Xiang Qingyu a special Mega Stone as a gift.

At that time, it shocked many contestants and viewers, and even made the news.

And in the decapitation operation against Giovanni, the close cooperation between him and Mew...

Could it be that like his own innate Viridian Force, Xiang Qingyu also possessed some special physique that attracts Divine Beasts?

However, compared to how Xiang Qingyu captured Mewtwo, Lance was more curious about one point:

As a product of Mew's genes, what is the strength of Mewtwo after normal growth? Does it have the strength matching the legend?

Although thinking this might be a bit excessive for Will, but...

When Mewtwo appeared, Lance didn't need to think about the outcome of this battle anymore.

Compared to Lance, who knew a little bit of the inside story, other viewers were clearly confused by Mewtwo's appearance.

"Wait a minute? Can any expert tell me what kind of Pokémon that is on Teacher Yu's side, why haven't I seen it before?"

"Don't worry, let me check the Pokédex first... holy crap, even the Pokédex can't find it???"

"Ah? A Pokémon that even the Pokédex can't find, is it a monster that Teacher Yu brought out from some deep mountain and old forest?"

"You guys are ignorant, this one is called Mewtwo, it's an apprentice in Teacher Yu's gym, it used to battle back and forth with us!"

"It's really on the scene this time, it's true that Teacher Yu has never hidden Mewtwo, but whether it can battle... brothers don't seem to know either, aren't you a Pokémon that wants to be a trainer, why are you playing in a match!"

"No, you said Teacher Yu was hiding trump cards, you really hid an Explosion?"

Will was also confused.

Although he had seen this Pokémon once on Xiang Qingyu's live broadcast, he knew nothing about its strength.

All he knew so far was—

With the powerful Psychic flow on its body that had almost materialized, it was clearly a Pokémon very proficient in Psychic power.

Is this the first trump card Teacher Yu intended to hide until the knockout stage?

A clear information gap appeared at the beginning, making the match increasingly unclear.

However, Will became excited because of this.

"Battling is about challenging the strong, that's more interesting!"

"Clefable, use Shadow Ball to attack first!"

Will made the command first, declaring the official start of this battle.

"Mewtwo, defend against it first, use Teleport to dodge."

Xiang Qingyu thought for a moment and didn't confront it head-on at the beginning.

In actual combat, Teleport is not just for switching out, but a very versatile move, possessing stronger functionality than Protect or Detect.

It can be considered a relatively simple and powerful versatile application of Psychic power in actual combat, and it also makes the Pokémon's actions very flexible.

Therefore, even if he locked a defensive move at the beginning, it didn't matter to Xiang Qingyu.

"I understand."

Mewtwo nodded and immediately assumed a defensive stance.

It should have been a normal scene, but after Mewtwo spoke, many viewers were confused again—

"This, this, this... this is not right! How can a Pokémon speak human language???"

"It's one thing for this Pokémon to have a human form, but it even learned human language? No wonder Teacher Yu thought about training it to be a trainer..."

"Making a fuss, this kind of thing can't even get on the table in our Sunshine Gym, it can't even beat students with average levels!"

"... Really? Do you mean that you Paldeans are all experts?"

"O-Of course! Is winning against Mewtwo something worth being happy about? You probably won't even get a Gym Badge!"

"That's right, the students of our Orange Academy are not inferior to Mewtwo at all! (Referring to trainer level)"

After Mewtwo appeared, more and more mysteries emerged in the minds of the viewers, making people unable to help but feel curious and want to understand this special Pokémon full of mystery.

At this time, Lance at the commentary table spoke again:

"I do know a little bit about this Pokémon."

"As a Psychic Pokémon in Xiang Qingyu's hands, its potential is unquestionable. As for what kind of competitive level it can show, it depends on its performance next."

"Currently, Xiang Qingyu's command thinking is still very conservative. It seems he intends to see the opponent's tactical layout first, and then quickly come up with a corresponding solution. This is also a counterattack idea that Xiang Qingyu is relatively good at."

"So, has contestant Will thought about how to use this?"

On the battle field, the Shadow Balls thrown by Clefable were easily dodged by Mewtwo using Teleport, and the two Pokémon quickly pulled away from each other.

Currently, both sides are still testing.

However, Will soon chose to make the first move.

"Clefable, use Minimize!"

After making such a command decisively, a confident smile appeared on Will's face.

The Minimize tactic can be traced back to a live broadcast Xiang Qingyu did a long time ago explaining the battle techniques of Chansey. At that time, he silently noted this move, but he didn't expect to use it in front of the master today.

Using this move against an unknown Pokémon does have certain risks. If the opponent uses a move with a huge coverage area, making the body smaller won't do any good.

But since Shadow Ball couldn't hit Mewtwo, why not give it a try.

He could even treat this move as a display of "course results" in front of Xiang Qingyu.

"Tsk..."

Xiang Qingyu's face sank, and he instantly understood Will's idea.

Should I say as expected of a fan, why are the ones I meet all not normal?

One starts with a naked Hypnosis, one starts with a feint and then Minimize, all are despicable means that are ridiculous and of very poor quality!

But thinking that these two moves seemed to be taught by himself, Xiang Qingyu wanted to laugh a little relieved.

However, there is a way to deal with this move.

"Mewtwo, deploy Psychic Terrain!"

Xiang Qingyu quickly thought of a solution, and while speaking, he also let Mewtwo understand immediately, and it nodded.

As a product of Mew's genes, Mewtwo's use of Psychic power was already like an arm and a finger, so almost the moment the thought appeared, a thick Psychic power quietly spread from under its feet.

Wherever it went, the residual energy covered the ground, forming a pink net layer.

For viewers in many regions, including Johto, the four major terrains are a bit unfamiliar and are not very common moves.

However, because he had made up lessons during Xiang Qingyu's live broadcast, and the assistant Indeedee he often used is a good hand at opening Psychic Terrain, Xiang Qingyu's students are relatively familiar with this move.

So soon, under the explanation of enthusiastic fans, other viewers also understood the effect of this move more or less.

Strengthen the power of Psychic moves, and at the same time, let some priority moves be affected by Psychic power.

Although it is not known what it is useful for, it is indeed very consistent with the theme of the Psychic Master Tournament. Could it be another unique skill of Xiang Qingyu?

"Clefable, use Substitute after Minimize again, disappear in front of the opponent!"

Will ignored Mewtwo's actions and continued to execute his own ideas.

It must be said that this wave of operations of his was a wonderful move with considerable ideas in Xiang Qingyu's eyes.

Minimize itself is an act of confusing the opponent to reduce the hit rate of moves. If you add a Substitute to let the opponent split, if you are not careful, it is really possible to let Clefable "disappear" completely.

After losing its trace, Clefable can even keep throwing attack moves like Future Sight, thereby ensuring its own safety and slowly consuming the opponent's stamina.

However...

"Too naive!"

Xiang Qingyu suddenly shouted with great momentum, and then waved his hand to command:

"Mewtwo, use Expanding Force!!!"

Expanding Force, one of the best moves of the Psychic attribute.

The reason is of course not just because it matches Psychic Terrain, and the power will be very terrifying when used in the Psychic Terrain.

Another more important reason is—

Due to the resonance of Psychic power existing in the Psychic Terrain, the attack range of Expanding Force is greatly increased, and it can even expand to any place where the Psychic Terrain spreads. ===== CHAPTER 692 =====
