Chapter 104 How could a person be so evil?

"I lost……"

Reluctantly watching the exhausted, swollen-eyed electric frog, Qi Shu quickly admitted his defeat.

Then, the moment he used the Poké Ball to recall his Electric Bellyfrog, his expression changed to one of delight, and he took a few steps to stand in front of Qingyu.

"What a wonderful battle! Just as everyone said, you're amazing! No wonder you're a genius who could even defeat that cold-blooded interviewer, Sister Xin Li!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Qishu."

Qingyu nodded slightly, a pleased smile on his face, and leaned down to whisper something in her ear:
"I also have to thank Senior Qishu for showing mercy. If Electric Belly Frog had used Too Crystallization, the outcome might have been reversed."

In Qingyu's view, this was just a polite remark.

After all, we're all just Padiya workers who see each other all the time, revolving around Yeci, this ever-revolving planet. Building good relationships with each other can only be beneficial.

But to Qishu, these words were rather intriguing.

"Hahaha……"

After giving an insecure smile, the corner of Qi Shu's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Is it because you don't want to use something too crystallized?

It's just that the pace of the entire battle was so fast that she didn't have time to use the Crystal Beads!

As the Electric-type Gym Leader, she always possesses a Crystal Bead.

However, unless you use Crystallization at the very beginning, it's not very meaningful to use it later.

Because they couldn't hit Riolu at all, they were led by the nose by Aoba's side the whole time...

Every attack launched by the electric frog was met with a very strong counterattack. When it tried to use sleep to regain its posture, it was instantly defeated by a well-planned kick.

Is this junior colleague really a newcomer?

Like everyone else, Qishu couldn't help but think to himself.

Although he was also a newcomer who had only succeeded one person as the gym leader, he had been trained as the successor to the gym leader since childhood.

How could someone with formal training like myself be so far behind my peers?
Sometimes you really have to admit it...

Geniuses do exist.

And now, the one closest to me seems to be standing right in front of me.

Of course, besides discovering this, the battle did bring her some gains as well.

At least through the battle just now, Qishu has come to understand that his Electric Belly Frog still has some weaknesses that need to be addressed.

such as……

When facing an opponent with a significant speed advantage, should we use a power grid, which has a larger range and a better deceleration effect, instead of electromagnetic waves?
Driven by her curiosity, Qi Shu immediately asked Qing Yu this question.

After a moment's thought, Qingyu's answer was:
"I remember that the Electric Belly Frog can learn water-immersion moves, right?"

Immerse, by splashing a large amount of special water on the opponent, temporarily turning the Pokémon hit into the Water type.

Qingyu actually thinks that Electric Bellyfrog's ability is quite strong. It charges up after being hit, and the power of its subsequent Electric-type moves will be terrifying.

Besides, Frog is a frog-type Pokémon after all, so it would be illogical if it didn't learn some water-type moves.

"Since we're looking for change, why not take it one step at a time and use flooding or rainmaking to improve the grid's capture efficiency?"

"Anyway, given the Electric Belly Frog's sturdy build, it's unlikely that it would be instantly killed in one move."

Qi Shu's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.

Both of Qingyu's recommended moves are for the same effect—

By utilizing the principle that water can conduct electricity, the power and coverage of electric-attribute moves can be maximized.

Regardless of whether the electric frog is attacked or not, it will be difficult to avoid a burst of electric therapy if its opponent is wet.

If it's paired with Taijing Electric...

Its power will be absolutely terrifying!
"I see, as expected of you, junior!"

Qishu was happy, but the other Patia students in the live stream couldn't laugh.

【?? Teacher Yu, you've done so many bad things! You made Miss Qishu's Electric Belly Frog learn how to soak in water, so all my training with the Mischievous Crocodile was for nothing!】

[Wow, amazing! Someone's even intentionally making the difficulty higher for the gym leader! I have to give Sunny Gym a bad review now!] [How can people be so wicked?]

In response, Qingyu smiled calmly and said that she absolutely does not stick to the pan.

Gym leaders on the Path of Champions rarely use their full strength; they generally adjust their teams dynamically based on the challengers' abilities.

After all, the Road to Champions selects champions, and the main test is on the trainers, not their Pokémon.

If you still can't win when faced with a vast ocean, why don't you first look for your own problems and think about whether you haven't tried hard enough?

A year later, whenever this year's elite students, filled with lofty ambitions and aiming for the championship, stand in front of the Sunshine Dojo, they will surely remember that figure who single-handedly led the entire league and pushed the assessment requirements to an explosive level.

When bitter memories flood their minds, they always instinctively pull out their phones.

Then, gritting his teeth, he pulled out the League app and gave this dojo, whose fate was uncertain—whether it would be remembered in history or condemned for eternity—a terrible review.

Teacher Yu, you've done so many bad things!
……

After seeing off the strange tree, the Sunshine Dojo finally quieted down for a while.

Only after watching the enthusiastic girl, who seemed to lack any sense of boundaries, disappear did Milerton finally muster the courage to step out of the dojo's gate.

Then, it returned to its loyal...cat bed?
Because Milton has a habit of sunbathing, Qingyu quickly and thoughtfully laid out an extra-large cat mat on the side of the gym.

Well, Milton is an enthusiastic big dog, while Milton is a cool and aloof cat.

This makes sense.

"Gah..."

Millerton lazily raised his head and looked in a certain direction.

Although it felt a little out of place lying there, it resolutely chose to abandon its dignity in the face of the warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Such leisurely days seemed to have only occurred when he first appeared before those humans.

However, that wonderful memory didn't last very long.

Millerton had no idea how he suddenly ended up in that facility, but it was true that the doctor couple had saved his life by sheer coincidence.

So even though they clearly had other motives, Milton was willing to stay with them temporarily and do what he could.

For example, defeating the strange-looking creatures they later summoned.

This continued until the very last day.

When that cruel guy transcends time and space, reappearing before him with a sinister smile...

Millerton shook his head and immediately stopped reminiscing.

Let bygones be bygones; I can't possibly go back to that godforsaken place anyway.

This little guy doesn't seem to know what kind of being he is, and it doesn't even seem to see himself as a "Pokémon" as humans call him...

But that's fine too. After losing almost all of his power, it seems that it won't be his turn to fight anymore.

Enjoying a warm sunbath, Milton lay in his cat bed, thinking to himself.

Just as it was about to fall asleep, a familiar voice suddenly rang in its ear.

"Hey, Milton, looks like you're doing pretty well here."

The human couple's child appeared before him, smiling and waving in greeting.

"Gah..."

After giving a perfunctory greeting, Millerton immediately turned his head away.

As expected, I can't protect anything...

But it doesn't matter anymore.

As long as you openly admit that you are useless, you will no longer be hurt.

Here are some minor modifications:

According to the Zhu Zi game's timeline, Piper should have a strong aversion to Milerton at this point, because he felt Milerton had taken away his parents when he was young (the reasons are rather complex). This seems to be the real reason why he found a pretext to pass the ball to the protagonist at the beginning of the game...

But I didn't feel comfortable writing it that way, so I slightly modified the setting in the end. I still hope the Pokémon world can be a more beautiful and harmonious place.
