You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 120 Poor Tom, manipulated at will.

"Ok?"

Upon receiving the message, Qingyu immediately clicked on it.

It's a group photo of Cyndaquil, Garchomp, and Jangmo-o.

In the picture, Cynthia is smiling and making a peace sign, while holding a small Pokémon that is crawling on all fours and covered with scales of different sizes in her other hand.

On its head, a huge golden heart-shaped scale is particularly eye-catching.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that it is called Heartscale Treasure.

(Heartscale Treasure, I've always thought it's the cutest dragon.)
Beside Cynthia, Garchomp, with a serious and impatient expression, crossed its arms, seemingly taunting someone off-screen.

"It can't be that it's being used against me, right..."

Qingyu's lips twitched, but she didn't pay attention to these details.

His attention was mainly focused on the Heartscale Treasure in Zhulan's arms.

As a "late bloomer" Pokémon that first appeared in Pokémon Sun and Moon, Jolteon is much easier to raise than its predecessors from earlier generations.

At level 45, it can undergo a second evolution, evolving into the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon, also known as the "Fighting Dragon".

Although there is no ranking system in reality, it can still be roughly compared to other systems. For champions, the development cycle will naturally be very fast.

Cynthia is an expert in raising pseudo-gods, and Gible has been raised by her since birth, so it's a perfect match for her expertise.

However, since they are intended to be the main reserve force for the Dragon Attribute Master Tournament, their selection in all aspects must be carefully considered.

[Qingyu: This Heartscale Treasure looks pretty good, but what are its characteristics?]

The Dragon family has three characteristics: bulletproof, soundproof, and dustproof. Overall, they are more defensive, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

[Bamboo Orchid: It's for soundproofing.]

Its soundproofing property is a technique that can isolate sound types.

Because sound-based attacks can penetrate Stands and attack the user, this move is quite effective defensively.

At the same time, it can also block interference-type moves such as End Song, singing, and ultrasound.

If the audience has this characteristic, they won't be affected by your "loud shouting" and "threats," which is very useful.

Next, Qingyu had a long video call with Zhulan about the breeding direction of Kommo-o and the selection of moves for Kommo-o.

Until Zhu Lan blinked and then asked:
"Since you know so much about the Heartscale Treasure, Qingyu, why don't you just use it in the game later?"

Qingyu thought about it and realized that it made perfect sense.

With Pokémon Champions, many battle-related issues can be resolved simply by playing a couple of games.

"Okay, log in!"

It wasn't until the match was about to begin that Qingyu belatedly realized what was happening—

Wait a minute?
I still need to edit videos, so when did I agree to play games with her?
……

After several games, the win rates for both sides were roughly 50/50.

Kommo-o is a very unique Pokémon, and there are many strategies that can be used with it.

Whether it's using the combination of Soul Dance Sonic Boom and the item Throat Spray to achieve a multi-stage buff and directly push the team, or maxing out the Abdominal Drum buff and then relying on the Blood Demon Absorption Fist to create a build that is both offensive and defensive, and can stay alive for a long time.

They can even use the Dragon's Roar to inspire their teammates and guide their roars and taunts, becoming pure stat-based support.

The overall tactics were very simple and straightforward, and even the champion-level Rosamund Pear suffered a considerable loss when they first encountered them.

It's a pity it was born in the wrong generation; if it had been born before the Fairy type was introduced, it would definitely have been a popular Pokémon in competitions.

Its weakness of being four times weak to Fairies is amplified in Alola, a version where all four legendary Pokémon are extremely effective against it, causing this pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have little presence.

However, it still holds considerable sway in the Dragon-type mirror matches of the Dragon Masters Tournament.

Unless there really is a sixth brother who brings along the "dragon traitor" mega Tanabata.

Because of the time difference, nighttime in Qingyu is equivalent to dawn in Sinnoh.

Zhu Lan was also clearly getting sleepy and started yawning repeatedly. Seeing that it was almost time, Qing Yu also prepared to end today's game time under the pretext of editing a video.

"Oh, right, there's one more little thing."

Just then, Zhu Lan spoke first.

"Because I'm coming to Padia to participate in this month's Dragon Masters Tournament, I should arrive about three days in advance to adjust to the time difference."

"But in the Parthian region, it seems like you're the only person I know..."

"So, during the Masters tournament, can I stay at the Sunshine Dojo temporarily?"

???

The topic that Zhu Lan brought up casually instantly broke through the Qingyu's defenses.

"This……"

Although in my memory, because they were childhood sweethearts, the two of them often visited each other's homes and slept in the same bed quite a few times.

But those are all things from my childhood...

Can it be the same as it is now?

Qingyu was unsure what to say for a moment.

Should I agree, or agree immediately?
"is it not OK?"

Seeing Qingyu suddenly lower her head and start thinking, she didn't give a definite answer for quite a while.

Zhu Lan suddenly spoke again, but this time her tone was clearly tinged with grievance, as if she hadn't expected Qing Yu to refuse.

"Of course, no problem! Stay as long as you want!"

Sensing the change in the blonde girl's emotions on the other end of the video call, Qingyu agreed to her request almost immediately without hesitation.

The girl, who had initially looked aggrieved, suddenly smiled faintly, and her eyes narrowed as she smiled.

"Okay, see you in a few days~"

With a light and cheerful voice, it travels through space using holographic imaging technology.

The call was quickly disconnected.

It was only then that Qingyu suddenly realized what was happening and subconsciously reached out to touch her cheek.

It's a bit hot.

"Have I been tricked again...?"

Qingyu muttered something under her breath, then took a deep breath to barely suppress her wildly beating chest.

He suddenly remembered a very popular Tom and Jerry meme from his past life.

Poor Tom, he was completely manipulated.

Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could that Cabbage Sister be a scheming girl with countless layers of tricks?

I must be overthinking it.

"They've been childhood sweethearts, it's perfectly normal for them to meet up..."

"Besides, they're only staying for a few days. Sunshine Dojo has rooms, there's no need to be so anxious..."

After being repeatedly brainwashed with words, Qingyu finally calmed down.

It seems that because of the interference from the system at the time, I have been viewing Zhu Lan's purpose with prejudice, which is definitely not a good thing.

To assume she's interested in me before we've even had any real contact offline is just too much!

"Since things have come to this, let's finish the work at hand first and get a good night's sleep!"

Qingyu shook her head, clearing her mind of all distractions.
