Chapter 708: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 363

He really couldn't understand why Teacher Yu was suddenly so friendly to him.

At least from his life experience over the years, sudden kindness is not necessarily a good thing.

All gifts of fate have already been marked with a price, but he just couldn't see it.

"There is no why, I just think that perhaps you will become a trainer who can amaze quite a few people."

"Moreover, it's just recommending you, a 'prospective trainer,' to Professor Elm; whether any Pokémon will be attracted to you and be willing to become your partner will ultimately depend on your own performance."

Xiang Qingyu shrugged, speaking lightly.

"... I understand."

After taking a deep breath, Silver no longer hesitated, and his eyes became more serious.

"Thank you very much for your guidance, Teacher Yu."

"If I can become a trainer, I will definitely not let you down, and I will become the world's number one strongest Pokémon trainer."

"There's no need to be too obsessed with being number one."

Xiang Qingyu interrupted his words with a smile.

"Just strive to become an excellent trainer; keep working hard towards this goal!"

"Yes, I understand."

As Silver nodded solemnly, an inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in his heart.

It seems that today's impulsive act might become the most correct decision he will ever make in the future...

Silver left quickly. After watching him disappear at the end of the street, Xiang Qingyu also quickly walked towards the hotel.

There are no rest days in the main tournament; he will face Lucian head-on tomorrow afternoon, so he must let his Pokémon relax well today to prepare for the battle in a better state.

After he left, a black-haired boy with slanted bangs suddenly emerged from the bushes near the gate where he and Silver had been talking.

"Geez, they actually talked for so long; they really made me wait for a while..."

Gold scratched his hair and looked in the direction where the two had left.

"That Teacher Yu seems like a pretty good guy; no wonder so many people kept talking about him while watching the battle."

Originally, he really didn't know Xiang Qingyu, but after watching a few matches, even Gold developed considerable curiosity about this "Teacher Yu," whose popularity even exceeded that of the Elite Four in other regions.

So, after asking other spectators, Gold finally learned Xiang Qingyu's true identity.

He became a Gym Leader for only half a year and could become so strong; what does that explain?

It explains that after a genius like me debuts, my future achievements will definitely be above his!

"However... I didn't expect that before me, there would actually be a newcomer of the same period who could get his recognition!"

The image of the red-haired youth who looked a bit cocky just now appeared in Gold's mind, and he immediately became gnashing his teeth.

Originally, he also held the same idea as Silver, wanting to try his luck to see if he could chat with Teacher Yu.

As a result, by the time he arrived, he had already been beaten to the punch by that cocky guy; if he appeared at this time, wouldn't it look like he was eavesdropping on their conversation?

"Damn it, saying you want to become the strongest, that's my line, hey!"

"That guy is called Silver, right? I've remembered you; if we meet in the future, you'll definitely get a taste of my wrath!"

Gold, gnashing his teeth, wrote down the name.

It just so happens that on the trainer's path, he is still missing a rival who can serve as an experience pack, so it's decided to be you!

Thinking of this, Gold's mood instantly improved a lot, and he soon left swaggeringly.

At the same time, in an unknown corner of Goldenrod City.

In the closed training room, Lucian was sitting in front of the computer, repeatedly sliding the progress bar below the video, watching Xiang Qingyu's entire competition footage in this Psychic Master Tournament over and over again.

"Sylveon's attack method is relatively monotonous, mainly based on Fairy-type moves; it shouldn't need key attention."

"As for Lucario... if I encounter it, using Bronzong or Metagross should also have a chance to fight."

"However, it is necessary to focus on preventing its Mega Evolution; with the proficiency shown by Teacher Yu, it is impossible that he wouldn't use Mega Evolution."

"And this surprise troop, Indeedee, fortunately, it has already been exposed in the battle with Cattleya; the tactics can basically be determined. If it has no other backup plans, it is also not worth worrying about."

While muttering in a low voice, Lucian recorded all his insights in his notebook.

Soon, he had filled half a notebook with theories on how to target Teacher Yu tomorrow.

Among Xiang Qingyu's five known Pokémon, he had already made detailed plans for three, which would definitely be applied to the upcoming actual combat.

However...

For the other two names, even Lucian, who had developed a super information processing ability in the Sinnoh League and could be compared to the strongest brain, couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly.

"Mewtwo, this Pokémon is really a bit too evil; any Psychic-type Pokémon facing it probably won't have any advantage, so I can only try to find a way to deal with it through other means."

"And that Ogerpon, which is the most headache-inducing..."

Thinking of the other trump card Xiang Qingyu revealed in the battle just now, Lucian couldn't help but feel irritable.

Compared to Mewtwo, if Xiang Qingyu sends out Ogerpon in tomorrow's match, that is the most terrifying thing for him.

According to current intelligence, Ogerpon might as well have written "invincible" on its face.

Its first battle in cooperation with Xiang Qingyu swept through Kitakami, continuously defeating four Pokémon revered by the villagers; its strength is already clearly not right.

But the more exaggerated part is yet to come.

According to the different masks chosen during the battle, this Ogerpon can even change attributes on the spot; while the Ivy Cudgel is on fire, its most skilled Grass-type offensive is also not left behind...

Cattleya suffered this loss; if it weren't for Xiang Qingyu clearly being "worldly-wise" at the end, she would probably have lost even more miserably.

From a comprehensive performance perspective, the suppression Ogerpon gives to opponents is no less than Mewtwo's, and its flexible and changeable style also makes it impossible for a trainer like him, who prefers to collect data and fight based on information gaps, to figure it out.

Even with Cattleya, that unlucky person, helping him reveal some information, it is still far from enough.

Undoubtedly, the combat power of both Mewtwo and Ogerpon has surpassed ordinary Pokémon, at least above the "pseudo-legendary" level divided by trainers.

Even compared to ordinary "late-blooming Pokémon," it has become even more troublesome to target these two Pokémon with less information.

Lucian has always believed that he is a trainer with a similar style to Xiang Qingyu, but now he estimates that he can't compete in commanding, and there is also a gap in the cultivation level of Pokémon...

Just thinking about it is difficult enough.

"..."

For a moment, Lucian even had the thought of "why not just go through the motions, anyway, it's a loss in the end."

Only when Teacher Yu becomes an opponent can one truly feel how terrifying he is.

It seems he has been a Gym Leader for less than half a year, and he has already reached a strength that makes the Elite Four tremble a few times.

If Teacher Yu evolves for a while and then goes to participate in other competitions, wouldn't he be able to slaughter randomly and brush international points fiercely...

How on earth are you supposed to fight Teacher Yu, who is cheating!

No, I haven't even fought yet and I've already lost in momentum; how can I win tomorrow?!

Lucian patted his cheeks, forcing himself to focus all his attention on thinking about how to break the situation.

Even in a desperate situation, there might be a glimmer of hope.

Even if I lose, I must be like Cattleya today, show my own style, and get Teacher Yu's recognition!

Otherwise, after this fight, won't I be fiercely laughed at by those two guys, Flint and Aaron...

This kind of thing absolutely cannot happen!

Thinking of this, Lucian's eyes gradually became firm.

After thinking hard for a while, a bold idea really came to him.

Since Mewtwo and Ogerpon are both hard to deal with, what if I change my thinking...

First, target this Indeedee, who looks limited in strength and easiest to break through, and output fiercely, striving to form a situation of more against less?

As long as the number of Pokémon occupies an advantage, the one who should be anxious is not me, but Teacher Yu.

I can also master the initiative of normal battles because of this, and even slowly win the match through reasonable consumption!

That's right, I have a trump card in my hand!

As long as I can open Trick Room, any Mewtwo or Ogerpon will be nothing to worry about!

Thinking of this, Lucian couldn't help but take a deep breath, and at the same time revealed a confident smile.

"It's not just you, Teacher Yu, who is making progress!"

"After the last online battle, I have also put in a lot of hard work on the Sunny Day space system."

"It just so happens that this time I will complete my gorgeous debut in front of Teacher Yu!" ===== CHAPTER 710 =====
