Chapter 412 The Era of Amazing Antics Bringed by Transformation Tactics (12/36 Unfilled)
For the next hour, Qingyu continued to use this "essential" transformation tactic, dominating the doubles arena.
"Please, Mega Kangaskhan, use Power-Up Punch on your opponent!"
"The tedious game of strategy is over; it's time to end this farce with a self-destructive charge!"
"What do you mean I'm low on health again? That life drain punch will heal me back to full health, won't it?"
"One more self-destructive charge!"
Despite it being a completely different, serious team-pushing tactic from the usual underworld tactics, Qingyu unexpectedly found himself enjoying it.
As for the viewers who had been watching the entire process of "Teacher Yu beating up the kid," they were already somewhat numb by now.
[Stop! This isn't a Pokémon battle at all! How can your Kangaskhan be using Swords Dance and attacking people at the same time, Mr. Yu?!]
[If you don't understand, is a 180-force head-on collision legal?]
[Such powerful Pokémon, how can you have two or even three at the same time?!]
[Who understands the feeling of redemption that comes from when a Mega Kangaskhan, acting as a pilot, ambushes Alakazam with an elbow strike, nearly wiping out its health bar?]
[I'm completely stunned by Mega Kangaskhan's power—it's too strong, Mega Kangaskhan-sama!]
[It's clearly a sunny tactic, so why do I feel a chill down my spine?]
By 7:30 PM, Qingyu had already achieved a 10-game winning streak at lightning speed, and with the "enthusiastic" support of the audience, he successfully ended today's live stream.
However, before ending the broadcast, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and left a few meaningful words: "To be honest, the students should also be able to see that this transformation tactic is different from any other tactic before, allowing users to fully demonstrate their creativity."
"So, as a long-awaited in-class assignment, please put your clever little brains to work and develop more different transformation tactics for Mega Evolvers over the next period of time~"
"So I won't be making a video this time. If you share your ideas on Pokémon TV, I'll give a thumbs up to interesting tactics as encouragement!"
After saying that, Qingyu disappeared, leaving behind a group of students staring blankly at the screen.
What did Teacher Yu mean in the end? Did he mean we should develop other Pokémon based on this tactic?
[That's interesting—now that you mention it, it's true. The core idea is that Ditto or Smeargle uses Transformation to copy a Mega Arm. It wouldn't matter if you replaced Kangaskhan with something else!]
However, the limitation of only being usable in doubles is rather restrictive. It would be great if it could also be used in singles.
[Isn't this a good thing? Singles points are valuable, doubles are just for fun, so losing points doesn't matter. That's why Coach Yu specifically asked us to try out tactics in doubles mode!]
[Teacher Yu, you are so gentle————]
Mega Blaziken is ready to battle! Its dual speed-up ability is invincible just thinking about it!
And so, thanks to Qingyu's actions, Pokémon Champion became even more lively after his broadcast ended.
Suddenly, all sorts of strange Pokémon appeared in ranked matches, and the appearance rate of Mega Evolution Pokémon, which was previously relatively unpopular, also increased significantly. Many trainers began to try to incorporate their own understanding into this "transformation tactic" strongly recommended by Yu.
Matches like double Blaziken for a speed boost and double Gardevoir for double the fun are still considered minor skirmishes.
After all, many of the students who regularly watch Qingyu's live streams are true geniuses.
so----
Next up is a Mega Scizor, whose Bullet Punch is twice as fun after its power is increased!
Mega Ice Ghost Guardian, double the Ice Skin Explosion!
Mega Sable Eyes can deflect almost all of the opponent's variation moves!
And even more insane is the double fire-breathing camel—whoever moves slowly will be instantly killed by their teammate's earthquake!
Suddenly, all sorts of abstract maneuvers emerged in doubles ranked matches, often causing both sides to burst into laughter during the game.
Forget about whether it's useful or not, just tell me if it's new or not!
In a sense, Qingyu also ushered in an era of massive pranks that would last for quite some time, truly a heinous crime.
Of course, in addition to the students' development ideas, there was another group of experts who watched Qingyu's live stream from beginning to end.
Aside from new trainers from Padia and other regions, elite trainers who frequently appear in various competitions clearly make up a significant proportion of the active users in Qingyu's live stream.
Among them was a reliable middle-aged man from Kanto who seemed thoughtful after watching today's live broadcast.
"A combination of Kangaskhan and Ditto? —"
"That's interesting. If transformation could perfectly replicate the power of a Pokémon in reality, then the practicality of this tactic would be far more than what Aoba has shown."
"However, its feasibility still needs to be tested in actual combat."
"It just so happens that a newcomer whom Qingyu really likes has booked a challenge for tomorrow, so let's give him a try."
"Since even Qingyu says he can inherit the Viridian Dojo and the mysteries of the earth," then it's normal to have even higher expectations."
Let's go back to Monday at the Tokiwa Dojo.
"Hoo—, ha, ha—"
After several fierce battles (one-sided beatings), Qinglu was so exhausted that he couldn't even stand up from the ground. He could only lie on the cold floor of the dojo, panting heavily.
Around him, his proud companions lay sprawled on the ground, clearly exhausted from the battle.
Qinglu felt as if she had just passed through hell.
I was so stupid—I should have realized it sooner—
He originally thought that Gym Leader Giovanni would only send out one super-sized Mega Kangaskhan to deal with him, just like Blaine.
If that's the case, then maybe I still have a chance to defeat him.
But when the battle officially began, Qinglv was instantly dumbfounded.
What was initially thought to be a favorable 7v3 (Kangaskhan mother and baby + Giovanni) matchup instantly turned into an absolute disadvantageous 7v13 situation after all five Ditto appeared at the same time!
As expected, all the gym leaders in Kanto are not human; they've all gone astray along with Yu-sensei!
Even though he reacted immediately and tried to stop Ditto from using its transformation, he was forcibly thwarted by Kangaskhan and Giovanni, and ultimately failed.
Due to the overwhelming numerical advantage, I was already in a terrifying situation where I could only passively take hits from the very beginning of the game.
If he and his trusted companions hadn't withstood the test of Emperor Yan, they probably wouldn't have been able to endure even those five minutes of hell.
It was just a regular dojo exam, there was no need to go to such lengths, Mr. Sakaki!
The green leaves seemed to weep, but no tears came.
Just then, the image of Teacher Yu suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Keep it up, I really believe in you!"
Damn it, Teacher Yu is still pursuing me!
Completely exhausted, Qinglu stumbled on the ground.
The words of encouragement Teacher Yu gave me on the plane back then, now they sound a bit jarring to me.
Could it be that all the trials I've experienced along the way were also part of Teacher Yu's calculations?
The price of becoming a champion is terrifying!
The green color subconsciously recognized the head.
However, the thought that Crimson might have suffered just as much as she had made Green feel a strange mix of pain and pleasure.
As my thoughts drifted away, my consciousness gradually became blurred.
"snort"
On the other side of the field, the calm and reliable man in a suit, Sakaki, watched his struggling expression and shook his head helplessly.
"Has it reached its limit?"
Although this kid named Green was probably seeing this tactic for the first time, he had only sent out one Mega Kangaskhan and five Dittos. He didn't expect that they couldn't even put up a decent counterattack and lost so easily.
I really don't understand how a kid like him could be valued by Qingyu, who even said he would surpass him soon.
However, at least he had achieved his goal.
After the "warm-up" just now, he had clearly felt the limitations of the transformation tactic in actual combat.
While the Mega Kangaskhan that Ditto transforms into certainly possesses physical strength comparable to its original form, the difference in combat experience between the fake and the real thing is simply too great.
Even a small Kangaskhan that has never participated in a battle can execute its own tactics very well, constantly harassing its opponent in battle.
The transformed Ditto seems to have inherited the slow reaction characteristic of their race, and in battles, when controlling the transformed Kangaskhan mother and baby at the same time, it is always difficult to keep up with the pace.
If the opponent is stronger, perhaps we can really seize the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
However, these problems are actually not troublesome.
After all, once the tactics are fixed, these Dittos will only need to imitate one Pokémon in the future.
If you train these Dittos to the point that fighting becomes second nature, they can unleash considerable combat power, which is much easier than training other Pokémon.
It's an unconventional but potentially surprisingly effective way to become stronger.
After finishing his thought, Sakaki remained calm.
If it were my past self, I might have had the executives spread the shrinking tactic to every member of Team Rocket, just like I did with Aoba.
As for now—
There are more important things for me than the Rockets.
"Hey kid, can you still stand up?"
After shedding his previous disguise as the gym owner, Sakaki took a few steps forward and spoke to Aomori in a cold tone, while simultaneously kicking Aomori's arm with the tip of his leather shoe.
However, no reply was received.
Sakaki was not surprised by this.
Ultimately, although he was an excellent newcomer recommended by Qingyu, we really shouldn't have had too high expectations for him.
With this kid's strength, getting eight badges might not be too difficult, but if his goal is to become the champion, he's still a long way off.
Although reluctant to admit it, after getting to know Qingyu, that troublesome Dodo bird did indeed improve its strength considerably. Consequently, the other four Heavenly Kings couldn't remain inactive and let him break the balance to become the champion.
Therefore, becoming this year's champion is significantly more difficult than ever before.
Even if he were to inherit the Viridian Dojo that he himself left behind, he would absolutely not be qualified.
As a weaker person, even if you try your best, there will always be people you can never catch up with.
Therefore, hard work alone is far from enough; the world has no shortage of hard-working people who deceive themselves.
Besides extraordinary effort, one also needs the unwavering belief to burn everything in order to become stronger; this is the way for the weak to win.
Unfortunately, I didn't see that in Qinglu.
Therefore, you failed.
but----
Just as Sakaki was about to turn and leave, his foot, which had taken half a step, was suddenly grabbed by someone.
"It's not over yet—"
Sakaki, who was about to pull away, suddenly paused.
He immediately turned around and realized that Qinglu did not seem to have regained consciousness.
In other words, you made a mistake in your judgment?
Was his behavior just now entirely instinctive, or has it been etched into his body's memory?
Sakaki was slightly surprised, but then suddenly smiled.
Judging from his performance just now, it's enough to confirm one thing—this kid must have fought quite a few tough battles before.
The body seems to be getting used to the same difficult battles as before.
Moreover, he never gave up even once, and always persevered through sheer willpower.
"That's interesting."
Sakaki withdrew his foot and looked at the boy lying on the ground with his eyes closed, but his expression remained resolute.
He suddenly realized that Qingyu's judgment wasn't as bad as he had thought; at least in this young man, there was indeed a possibility of him becoming stronger.
Well then, let's try and see where his limits really are.
"Get some rest first, kid."
With a sudden burst of strength in his legs, Sakaki broke free from Aoki's grasp.
However, his expression and tone softened considerably at this moment, as if he had reverted to the Gym Leader mask he wore when facing challengers.
"Starting tomorrow, I will set aside half an hour each day to accept your challenge."
"Until I am satisfied."
Sakaki's voice faded into the distance with each step he took, until his last words suddenly echoed just before he disappeared completely.
"If you can do that, I can confidently hand over this dojo, which I've poured a lot of effort into, to you."
Monday, October 5.
While Green was suffering at the Viridian Dojo, Padiya welcomed a warm spring day.
The "Sunshine Dojo Expansion Plan" that Qingyu envisioned a couple of days ago has officially been put on the agenda today.
"So the Pokémon world has such a professional renovation team!"
Gazing at the renovation team working together in a clear division of labor not far from the dojo, Qingyu couldn't help but sigh.
The old construction craftsman in charge of plastering and building the framework, the superhuman strength to unload heavy objects from the vehicle, Promlum, which was specially modified to be a load-bearing vehicle, and the human foreman directing the work on site.
In just one morning, this fully-equipped renovation team had created a basic structure for the expanded area.
The only way to describe them is as a professional team.
Qingyu nodded in satisfaction.
Looks like the Salamence will get a new little nest tonight —
This expansion is mainly to create suitable separate residences for the Pokémon living in the gym.
After all, the Sunny Gym didn't initially expect to accommodate so many rentable Pokémon.
It would be better to give them larger and more comfortable living areas rather than having everyone crammed together.
This is especially true for Salamence.
Even if Mewtwo could temporarily shrink it, its weight wouldn't change. Mewtwo would still need to constantly use its psychic powers to support it to prevent its weight from breaking the floor.
Perhaps this is the price of growing up.
Qingyu sighed, and at the same time, she caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards her out of the corner of her eye.
It's Nemo.
"Teacher Qingyu, is Sunshine Dojo finally going to expand?!"
After quickly coming closer, Nemo took the initiative to speak, her tone seemingly tinged with excitement.
"That's wonderful! If we expand it a few more times, we'll be able to reach the Sunny Gym just by stepping outside!"
"Please keep up the good work, Aoba-sensei!"
Subconsciously glancing at the villa where Nemo lived in the distance, Qingyu couldn't help but let out a retort: "No, no, no, even if President Yeci gets approval, it's unlikely to expand to the point of swallowing up the entire Little Key Town, right?!"
"Moreover, it's just about creating a more comfortable living environment for Pokémon, and it won't take up much space."
"I see."
For some reason, Nemo suddenly felt disappointed.
Was the future she had just imagined—"seeing Aoba-sensei as soon as she stepped out the door, and then a thrilling Pokémon battle ensuing"—just her own fantasy?
it's a pity!
However, as a person who is synonymous with doing things her own way, Nemo was only disappointed for a moment before she quickly recovered her energy.
"Oh, by the way, Ms. Qingyu, I came to see you today for something else!"
As Qingyu cast a curious glance at her, Nemo had already reached into her pocket and taken out a commemorative ball that was given as a gift after purchasing a large number of Poké Balls.
"A while ago, I encountered a very interesting Pokémon at the nearby lighthouse, and I caught it after a battle!"
As she spoke, Nemo had already pulled the trigger in the center of the Poké Ball, and then a red light flashed.
Soon, a uniquely shaped Pokémon appeared on the ground in front of Qingyu.
At first glance, it looks like a very ornate old-fashioned treasure chest, and you can't tell at all that it is actually a Pokémon.
Inside the half-open treasure chest, special coins, half-filled with them, gleamed in the sunlight.
However, if you look closely, you can actually see an arm sticking out of the coin.
"A money-gathering spirit?"
Qingyu raised an eyebrow, quite surprised by the appearance of this Pokémon.
"Yes! Teacher Yu really does recognize it!"
After Qingyu spoke, Nemo immediately showed an expression of "I knew it," and at the same time squatted down and grabbed the arm that was sticking out of the gold coin.
Soon, a Pokémon with gray fur and eyes that looked very similar to gold coins appeared before them.
(The Money-Seeking Spirit)
"I thought I'd stumbled upon a treasure chest full of riches, but when I tried to get the coins, this guy suddenly appeared and wouldn't let me touch the coins inside even after we won the battle!"
"However, since we've met, it must mean we have a special connection, so I'll try to tame it!"
Nemo angrily gave a brief retelling of what had happened.
It has to be said, it's very much her style.
Qingyu nodded, but her gaze remained fixed on the somewhat shy money spirit.
In a sense —
This thing might be more valuable than treasure!
