You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 164 Do we even need to think about the weaknesses of the Dodo bird?
For most amateur trainers, items are basically not something they should be considering.

After all, Pokémon battles involve a lot of complexities.

Even excluding some legendary Pokémon that are almost impossible to encounter, there are still nearly a thousand types of Pokémon, not to mention thousands of bizarre and wonderful moves.

Having a basic understanding of the Pokémon found in one's region and knowing how to train Pokémon already makes one a qualified or even excellent trainer.

In addition to this, mastering combat also requires additional features such as special abilities and move development.

Only those who can integrate these factors and form their own unique understanding are qualified to become a senior trainer.

As for the props...

Although the artisans in the Pokémon world have handcrafted many strange and wonderful things, most of which are not particularly expensive, very few people actually have the opportunity to use them.

The reason is also very simple——

This thing requires a trainer's comprehensive understanding of Pokémon, and even needs to be carefully designed based on the opponent to achieve good results.

Many people simply don't have the ability, so they basically just bring a tree fruit to save time, or they use props that don't require much brainpower, such as elaborate series props or imposing sashes.

Therefore, most trainers do not focus on them, but instead concentrate on honing the Pokémon's own strength.

That's no problem, after all, there's more than one way to become stronger, and if your stats are high enough, you can overcome any obstacle with sheer force.

But when Qingyu's carefully prepared weakness insurance for Cynthia proved to be surprisingly effective, countless trainers in the live stream suddenly realized—

So this is how fun it can be when you use the props correctly?
Thanks to its hidden weakness, Kommo-o, which was clearly weaker than the Triceratops at the start, almost managed to defeat the opposing Elite Four level team.

Don't go too far!
While the Masters tournament rules play a role, using them effectively is itself a key to victory.

Combined with Qingyu's previous game live streams, many people are eager to try it out and incorporate their own interpretations into the game.

His brief appearance at the Masters tournament quietly brought about a major change in the Pokémon battle landscape...

Qingyu was unaware of this.

After the first semi-final match ended, while waiting for the next match between veteran stars Awatari and Genji, Cattleya, who had always been at odds with him, looked at him with a puzzled expression and took the initiative to ask:
"You didn't teach me how to configure bamboo orchids, did you?"

Based on her understanding of Cynthia, if Cynthia were to make the decision herself, she would definitely send out Garchomp Ace against Ace and win the match fair and square.

And even by the time she reached the finals, her Garchomp hadn't made an appearance yet...

So weird.

Therefore, Gadria speculated that Qingyu might also be involved.

On the other side, Tsubaki also turned her gaze to Aoba, silently pondering Gadria's words.

It's actually very likely, because Qingyu uses different items and tactics almost every time in her Pokémon TV videos, which often surprises even her cousin, Lance.

"It was just a small suggestion."

Qingyu did not refute this, but simply shrugged helplessly.

Wow, these kinds of incredible tactics are definitely the work of streamers!

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

I have a feeling that maybe Coach Yu would be more professional as a coach...

Qingyu completely ignored the teasing comments in the live chat.

Soon, Zhu Lan, who had returned victorious, reappeared in the audience and sat down next to him without hesitation.

"The next match is about to begin. Do you think your opponent in the final will be Mr. Watari or Mr. Genji?"

Zhu Lan chuckled and asked Qing Yu in a slightly teasing tone.

"It's hard to say, or rather, it could be anyone," Qingyu gave an ambiguous answer.

In his view, the Dodo, whose raw strength is undoubtedly in the champion tier, is slightly stronger.

But when it comes to the actual battlefield, the outcome depends more on the performance on the day.

"Both sides will likely target their respective trump cards; it will come down to who is better prepared."

Just as Qingyu finished speaking, the renovation work on the site was nearing completion.

In the battle just now, Hachisaku's Aluminum Steel Dragon used Dragon Star Cluster, which caused significant damage to the field.

Therefore, the post-war cleanup also took longer than yesterday.

Qingyu was also seriously considering a question at this moment—

As you advance to the eighth gym, the challengers you encounter will become increasingly stronger, so the probability of them using wide-range, high-powered moves like Dragon Star and Earthquake will also increase accordingly...

We really need to find a professional team to take charge of the daily maintenance of the dojo's battle arena, right?
As the sweet voice of the host of this year's Masters Tournament, Qi Shu, reappears, the next match is about to begin.

The viewers in the live stream once again focused their attention on the two players who were waiting to take the stage.

[Dodo, stop hiding! Bring out your red Gyarados!]

Knowing that the opponent is a Flying-type Elite Four member who infiltrated the Dragon-type Master Tournament, wouldn't it be better to just copy the homework of another Elite Four member from Kanto, Lorelei...?

[To be honest, do we even need to think about the dodo's weaknesses?]

[You dare say "Auntie" like that? Be careful, you might end up eating an absolute zero meal in the middle of the night!]

[These two kings in the semifinals are nothing more than defeated opponents of Teacher Yu; the streamer will crush them all!]

The sheer volume of discussion surrounding A-Du demonstrates just how famous this dragon messenger from the Quartz Plateau is.

Regardless of whether the comments are jokes or genuine haters, his fame far surpasses that of any other superstar; even champions don't receive this kind of treatment...

Black and red are also red!
"Then, what follows is a contest between the two Heavenly Kings."

After watching the two players quickly step onto the battlefield, Qingyu narrowed his eyes and began to observe their current state.

Often, you can tell at a glance whether someone is in good spirits or not.

Just like with Xiaochun before, anyone with eyes could tell from her nervousness that she was drifting away.

"Mr. Genji still had a serious demeanor, and was very calm and reliable."

"As for A-Du, he also seems to be in excellent condition?"

Halfway through her sentence, Qingyu's tone suddenly became somewhat uncertain.

because……

Although A-Du's expression remained tense as usual, Qingyu had a vague feeling that he seemed quite relaxed, even...

Suppressing laughter?

Given his personality, it's unlikely he would do something so frivolous before the match, right?
Qingyu quickly shook her head.

It must be my own illusion.

As he continued his introduction, Xiaochun's expression on the other side became noticeably strange.

Based on her understanding of her cousin, A-Du's current expression...

It's obvious they're holding back a big move. Just thinking about what they're going to do next almost made them burst out laughing!
