You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 128 Teacher Yu is getting more and more unrestrained... (Bonus chapter, 55 chapters)

Salting, the signature move of the Salt Stone Giant.

The effect is also very simple and straightforward:

While dealing damage, it also inflicts a salted state on the opponent, causing continuous damage similar to poisoning.

If that's all there is to it, then the salting process is probably just so-so, and the only difference between it and poisoning is that it belongs to a change in state and an abnormal state, respectively.

The advantage of this move is that it is more painful when the opponent is a Steel or Water type Pokémon.

Numerically speaking, the damage will be doubled.

With its simple and straightforward signature moves, coupled with extremely powerful base stat distribution, this Pokémon is incredibly lethal in single battles.

It would easily rank in the top three on the must-eat list in Pattaya.

At the same time, it is also the main character of today's live broadcast.

As viewers flooded into the live stream, Qingyu quickly opened the game and instantly locked in Saltstone Giant in the team editor.

Then, the smile on his face gradually became impossible to suppress.

[Is the streamer not playing doubles today?]

[Given Teacher Yu's recent style, will this episode feature another set of high-quality tactics...?]

[Host, your laughter is terrifying! My mom asked me why I'm watching this weird uncle's livestream!]

Has Teacher Yu been letting loose more and more lately?

Ignoring the complaints in the chat, Qingyu quickly put together a lineup that looked like it had no damage output at all, and returned to solo play to start his "ranking up" journey for the day.

Incidentally, his lineup is:
Saltstone Giant, Scorpion King, Superbad Star, Earth King, Crystal Flower, and Chansey.

For Qingyu, from the moment this lineup was chosen, winning or losing was no longer important.

There has to be one of you who can laugh, and it's most likely you'll be the one laughing.

Because of his high score and high win rate, he now spends at least five minutes queuing for a ranked match.

So, while waiting, Qingyu took the opportunity to showcase his talent for playing games.

After the gold miner's third level was defeated at lightning speed, the viewers, who were at lunchtime, immediately gulped down three large bowls of food, and the live stream room was filled with laughter.

[As expected of Teacher Yu, all her talent must have been put into combat!]

[This is the most appetizing live stream I've ever seen! I can already smell the aroma of food as soon as I click in!]

[Although, the streamer is already trying really hard to strike gold, haha]

Qingyu couldn't help but scratch his head.

I remember this game was supposed to be very simple, right?
The game ended in the blink of an eye, and as soon as the rankings were announced, Qingyu stood at attention.

Goodness, the number one ID, "Zufoch Daigo," has a score in the nine figures...

It was almost twice as high as the second place.

Even online game mining requires competing for first place? Truly a hardcore grinder...

Just before the start of the second game, he was matched with an opponent in Pokémon Champions.

I just caught a glimpse of Daigo's ID in the mini-game. Could it be such a coincidence that I'll run into this Prince Devon in ranked matches?

For some reason, Qingyu vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

Once you enter the game interface, your opponent's information will immediately pop up.

Because his opponent's features were so distinctive, Qingyu recognized him at a glance.

Good news: It's not Daigo.

Bad news: Not much difference.

A green-haired youth wearing a white sailor hat and extremely revealing clothes appeared on the screen. He looked somewhat demonic, yet inexplicably exuded a noble aura.

He leaned back with his hands behind his head, a calm smile playing on his lips, looking utterly confident. Trainer ID: My goal is to become a triple crown winner in the Grand Festival!
Gazing at the handsome man before her, Qingyu couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

There's probably only one man in the whole world who dares to dress like this; who wouldn't recognize you now...?

The Water Prince of Hoenn, the people of Sootopolis who have lived since ancient times, and the Sootopolis Gym Leader hidden in the ocean.

He is also Daigo's best friend.

Mikoli!
……

The Hoenn region, the Pokémon League.

It was late at night.

"You mean you're going to the Parthian region for the next month, so I'll have to continue with my regular work here?"

In the champion's private office, Mikoli's angry yet mocking laughter echoed through the room.

"If you wish, you can also delegate the work to the other Heavenly Kings; you don't need to worry about their abilities."

"Of course, if something really big happens in the Hoenn region, I will definitely be there for you immediately."

An image of an elegant young nobleman was projected from Rotom's phone, and his casually spoken words instantly caused Mikoli's blood pressure to spike as he listened patiently.

"You shouldn't have let me become the champion in the first place."

Michael covered his forehead, looking quite troubled.

Since I knew from the beginning that this guy was unreliable, and that he was willing to give up the championship job to outsiders for mining, I should have worked harder and decisively defeated him on the road to the championship.

"It's a pity, I was the better player that day."

Daigo flashed a bright smile, then glanced down at Rotom's phone and was immediately startled.

"Oh no, my phone's about to die. I guess I'll have to leave it at that for now!"

"..."

The lie was so clumsy that even Mikkelsen was speechless.

As the general agent for Rotom phones in the Hoenn region, how could Steven, the eldest son of Devon Corporation, not know that this thing is completely self-sufficient?

"All the trainers in Hoenn bear the responsibility for letting someone like that become the champion..."

After a long while, Mikoli finally muttered a casual remark.

Of course, he couldn't possibly be unaware that Steven, as a powerhouse that has been almost unparalleled in the Hoenn region for decades, possesses absolutely reliable combat strength and deserves the title of champion.

But how can a champion possibly only play in the region for less than a month a year?

Even when it's just me, Adam-sensei helps take care of the gym when I'm participating in the Grand Contest!
and many more……

Isn't it me who's helping Daigo fulfill his champion duties?
Thinking of this, Mikoli couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Forget it, the champion doesn't really have much work to do anyway, let's help him one last time."

The work of the acting champion has long been over, and now it's time for him to de-stress late at night.

In order to win his third consecutive Contest of the Year next year, he plans to use the game to discover more moves that can showcase the beauty of Water Pokémon.

In a sense, his defeat in the battle against Daigo was a good thing for him.

If he becomes the champion, he probably won't have time to participate in the Grand Prix anymore, and he won't be able to achieve the highest peak or the longest river in the field he truly loves.

Of course, even though his focus is no longer on Pokémon breeding, his strength has absolutely not declined.

Mikoli opened the game and quickly began a long matchmaking process.

About ten minutes later, the matchmaking screen stopped spinning, and the opponent's information quickly appeared.

Trainer ID: Azure Feather.
