Chapter 70: Our Paldea is Truly Full of Talent

The subsequent battle had entered garbage time in advance.

It was the exact opposite of what the comments originally thought: the streamer "trying his best, finding it hard to defeat" Paldea Elite Four Rika.

Even though Qingyu's offensive rhythm remained unhurried, it wasn't something Rika's Flying squad could handle.

Even if Talonflame was a durability-oriented configuration, the output after Bulk Up strengthening wasn't bad.

Coupled with Acrobatics, which doubled in power after the Flying Gem was stolen, the suppression it caused was almost no less than Brave Bird.

Not to mention it also had the dual suppression of speed and Gale Wings, allowing it to steadily seize the right to move first from the opponent.

At this time, the advantage of using Acrobatics instead of Brave Bird was demonstrated.

Rika had no good way to deal with it. Even though he forced Talonflame into a heavy injury once, it stubbornly recovered with Roost.

Without the pressure of Brave Bird's recoil increasing the HP line, Talonflame, with feathers like flames all over its body, directly transformed into the legendary phoenix, stubbornly sending away all the opponent's remaining Pokémon single-handedly.

In the end, the score was fixed at 6:1.

It was a big victory for Qingyu.

This victory in the promotion match also meant that Qingyu's rank had finally reached Great Ball.

【Turtle, the streamer can even crush an Elite Four member?】

【A tactic that can defeat an Elite Four member is definitely a good tactic; give it to me!】

【Learned it; tomorrow I'll take my Talonflame to offline-kill the streamer!】

The violent aesthetics performed by Talonflame made the audience marvel. Who would have thought that a mere regional bird could have the strength to almost solo an Elite Four team?

The logic was also incredibly simple and clear.

Seize the opportunity to use Bulk Up to strengthen, then rely on the recovery efficiency of Roost accelerated by Gale Wings, and finally transform into a ruthless bulldozer to stomp everything.

This seems like it can really be learned!

However, although it seemed to be only a step away, he was still far from the Master Ball tier, which required being in the top 100.

After all, the strength of the players in the Great Ball tier is not bad, and occasionally they will be matched with regional backbones like Rika.

Qingyu had this confidence, but judging by his progress, it would indeed take quite a bit of time.

"Sure enough, I lost..."

Rika put down the controller listlessly, his whole body slumped on the sofa.

He was clearly very happy when he had just finished eating the grilled rice ball after getting off work.

In the end, why did I start this game?

Rika felt that he might have made the most wrong decision tonight.

However, it could be considered a blessing in disguise, as he had witnessed an interesting Flying-type tactic.

Not a loss, right?

Rika sighed inwardly, suddenly remembering something he had been quite concerned about since the start—

Which region's little genius was this user with the ID "Azure Feather," who actually thought of a new way to play Talonflame.

Even in actual combat, this tactic had a considerable degree of feasibility.

It was especially valuable for Trainers who needed to fight long-term battles, such as for newcomers challenging the Champion Road, it was a rare loss-prevention strategy.

Should be a very creative young Gym Leader, right?

According to the battle record, Rika clicked into "Azure Feather's" homepage.

Then, his eyes widened instantly.

"Ha?"

Paldea Sunny Gym Leader, Qingyu.

So this guy is a Gym Leader from our Paldea region?

Rika gasped.

Recently, a wave of newcomers had just joined the Gym Leaders; he didn't expect there to be an expert?

Our Paldea is truly full of talent!

"But the Sunny Gym..."

Unlike Kanto, which has a terrifying number of Gyms spread throughout the region, the scale of Gyms in Paldea is strictly controlled.

So he did have an impression of the name of this Gym.

If he remembered correctly, the two Gym Leaders who were responsible for guarding the team when they entered Area Zero for exploration were from this Gym, right?

After they went missing, the Gym Leader qualification should have been transferred to...

Rika stood up immediately, went to the computer, entered the League's internal network, and quickly found the identity information of this Sunny Gym Leader.

Qingyu, 18 years old.

Previously had no battle experience, a pure newcomer Trainer.

Even the Gym had been closed for half a year, and he was included in Geeta's key assessment list.

This isn't right, is it?

Rika frowned slightly.

With the tactical level this child just displayed, becoming a Champion might still need to be questioned.

But if it was just to be an ordinary Gym Leader, it should already be enough.

That supreme Top Champion of the League, the only sun of Paldea, actually had times when she misjudged?

The League is currently short of people; it would be a pity if such an excellent young talent were buried.

Rika sighed, silently took out his phone, and dialed a string of numbers.

"Hello, Geeta?"

"There is a young man you might want to focus on."

"As for why..."

"After watching the recording I sent over, you should find the answer."

Paldea region, northwest of Mesagoza, Paldea League.

"This is truly the first time; Rika actually took the initiative to call after getting off work?"

A woman in a neat suit, thin but revealing a heroic spirit, sat in front of the desk and snapped her fingers at the woman who had hung up the phone on the other side.

"Rika recommended a newcomer to me."

Geeta smiled and walked quickly to her, her wild, long black hair swaying slightly with her steps.

"Is the person you asked me to check just now named Qingyu?"

"Yeah, at your age, you shouldn't have the trouble of senile dementia, right?"

Hassel was speechless for a moment, complaining spicily.

Originally, it was already her time to get off work, but she had to stay behind because of an accident.

Sinnoh Champion Zhulan visited Paldea today but didn't inform the League.

This matter itself wasn't a big deal; after all, even Champions need their own private time.

However, Geeta felt that perhaps she could take this opportunity to deepen cooperation with the Sinnoh League, so she specifically entrusted her to investigate the purpose of Champion Zhulan's visit.

As a result, Champion Zhulan only stayed at a Gym in Poco Path that was about to close down for a while before leaving?

Is that little time enough to do anything?

It couldn't be that she came for a blind date...

Hassel complained inwardly, but suddenly a flash of inspiration struck, and she looked at Geeta and asked subconsciously:

"Rika's call also has something to do with this kid?"

"You guessed right; even I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." ===== CHAPTER 72 =====
