Chapter 140 Teacher Yu, is this referee correct?

Because he needs to accompany Zhu Lan during her training, Qing Yu has no plans to stream before the start of the Dragon Attribute Master Tournament.

Therefore, he goes to bed very early at night.

Sunshine Dojo is quite large; it has always been a three-bedroom, one-living room setup.

In addition to the rooms for Qingyu and her parents, there was also a guest room, which was just enough for Zhulan to stay in temporarily during this period.

Time quickly came to the next day.

Perhaps it was because there was someone else at home to talk to, but Qingyu slept exceptionally well last night.

When Cynthia woke up, she found that Cynthia was already outside training her Garchomp and Kommo-o.

When Qingyu finished washing up and went out, besides Zhulan, there was a group of trainers dressed as students standing outside the gym.

They stood neatly about fifty meters away from the dojo, seemingly watching Zhu Lan's training, occasionally turning their heads to whisper a few words to their companions.

"Wow, it's Garchomp! That older sister must be really strong to be able to catch such a powerful Pokémon!"

"With such a powerful figure outside, who would dare to go in and challenge a gym?"

"Hey, do you guys think it's possible that this Garchomp trainer actually didn't pass Teacher Yu's test?"

"Hiss—, isn't that a bit perverted?"

Because of the noise from the training and the students, Milton, who usually sleeps 25 hours a day, was unusually awake and sitting in his cat bed, questioning his existence.

"Gah!"

Upon seeing Qingyu emerge, Milton immediately let out a dissatisfied groan, came up behind him, and nudged his back with his head.

The meaning is clear.

You, help me deal with these guys who are disturbing my sleep!

Qingyu could only smile helplessly.

彳庍口巴.

Qingyu quickly stepped forward, and the students immediately came to greet him upon seeing him.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the time when you're in school, right?"

"You guys are actually skipping school just to challenge the dojo?"

Qingyu frowned.

Although he didn't know why the students were crowding around him at this time, he still had to deal with their truancy seriously.

After all, Orange Academy will eventually have a group of students who are disobedient and skip classes.

Regardless of the background, this behavior is extremely egregious, especially since he hasn't yet seen any bullying at Orange Academy.

These students bully their own dojo every day; their negative review rate is probably among the lowest in the world...

"How could that be, Teacher Yu? We are among the best students!"

Startled by Aoba's serious expression, the students began to express their opinions, and Okamoto, who was leading them, explained why they were there:
"Because there is a competition in a few days, the battle plaza in the city center of Tabletop is temporarily closed to the public, so the school has simply given us a holiday."

"If we weren't so eager to improve, why would we come to Sunshine Dojo to be tortured and... instructed by Teacher Yu as soon as we have a holiday, right?"

These words immediately drew nods of approval from the surrounding students.

To be fair, Okamoto's statement is actually quite accurate.

After all, the Sunny Gym is so discouraging at first sight...

It's like those trash games where you just left the starting village and immediately faced a boss you can't beat right at the entrance, making the difficulty level skyrocket.

Only true masochists and exceptional trainers who desperately want to improve can endure this sense of frustration and keep challenging themselves.

In other words, if they can overcome even the stumbling block of the Sunny Gym, they will definitely become pillars of Padia in the future!

"Is that so?" Qingyu really didn't know, after all, he was the head of a rural dojo in Xiaochi Town, and he generally didn't know much about the news from the city.

"If that's the case, why don't you go into the dojo?"

"Hey, Ms. Yu, look over there."

Okamoto suddenly pointed mysteriously in the direction of Chikuran and whispered:
"That Dragon-type female trainer looks really strong. Could it be that she suffered a setback at the Sunny Gym before, and is now seeking revenge with those two dragons?"

"Teacher Yu, if all else fails, let's go to Zhuotai City and hide there for a few days!"

Aoba was speechless at Okamoto's guess.

"What is all this nonsense...?"

Why do you guys have such vivid imaginations at a time like this!

"Everyone knows that Tabletop City is going to hold a Masters Tournament, so this person must be a participant, just temporarily staying at Sunny Dojo."

"As for the player information, check it out on the official website."

After saying that, Qingyu walked straight towards the battle arena outside the Sunny Dojo without looking back, leaving only a casual remark:
"If you want to challenge the gym, come over now."

The remaining students stared at each other blankly, but soon someone realized what was happening and opened the Alliance APP.

Soon, the identity of the Garchomp trainer came to light.

The newly crowned champion of the Sinnoh region, a young world-class trainer, and a strong contender for this year's Dragon-type Masters Tournament—

Bamboo orchid!

"what?"

The students, led by Okamoto, experienced a momentary mental freeze.

This is the Sinnoh Champion! How can Teacher Yu even recognize such a terrifying monster?
Is this the network of a master-level tactical trainer?
……

After a few minutes.

Qingyu and a student from Orange Academy stood facing each other on the battlefield.

"Since the dojo students are absent, I will be temporarily serving as the referee for the Sunny Dojo today."

"The rules of the dojo challenge are 1v1, with the challenger going first, and the first one to lose the ability to fight is considered the loser!"

Zhu Lan stood at the center line of the field, her energetic voice reaching the ears of the surrounding students.

Teacher Yu, is this referee right?
It's outrageous to have a champion as a referee!
The challenge of the Sunny Gym is no longer limited to the Pokémon themselves; the pressure is mounting even outside the gym...

Noticing that the boy's hand was trembling slightly as he held the Poké Ball, Okamoto couldn't help but feel a chill for this young man who was taking on the challenge for the first time.

The battle began with Qingyu's Salt Stone Giant Spirit taking the lead.

The opponent is the Fierce-Legged Locust.

Upon seeing the spy cloak draped over Lie-Leg Locust's body, Qingyu couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly.

"As expected, it's the same old trick again. It's useful, but we can't just use it to copy homework!"

"Saltstone Giant, use Rock Blockade!"

After a few rounds, the Salt Stone Giant, which had not used salt to preserve itself, easily won by taking advantage of its elemental advantage.

The little brother who failed to copy the homework was also "praised by name" by Qingyu, who analyzed his flawed command frame by frame.

Qingyu was immersed in commenting, the younger brother was immersed in being scolded, and the other students were immersed in watching the drama unfold.

The harmonious scene brought a knowing smile to Zhu Lan's face as she quietly observed from the sidelines.

It seems that Qingyu is doing a pretty good job as a gym leader and has already gained the approval of these challengers.

Of course, it would be even better if he could return to Sinnoh as a Gym Leader or an Elite Four member, or even inherit the Champion title from me...
