Chapter 170 Rat-Headed Earth Dragon: What Sandstorm Brother are you?
"Both players are in position, and the match can begin at any time!"

After Qingyu finished speaking, she glanced at the comments section.

[Teacher Yu, who do you think will win this match?]

Does it matter who wins? Aren't they all "disciples" who came from our live stream? They're all our flesh and blood!

[It's true, Yu-laoshi is getting better too. The Masters Tournament finals have really turned into a friendly match...]

Even though I know the comments are just joking, it's really hard to hold back when I see these kinds of comments.

Especially when you are the main character.

Qingyu's lips twitched a few times. After taking a deep breath, she tried to respond in a calm tone:

"At this level of competition, winning or losing is no longer important; we just need to appreciate the excellent performances from both sides."

Qing Duanshui Master Yu made an important speech at the Masters Tournament finals.

Don't think we don't know, the streamer actually hopes Zhu Lan will win!

[Teacher Yu, you've changed. You have a cute side now...]

[Sigh, Sinnoh's move was too ruthless! Can't we use the same trick to lure Yu-sensei here? Blueberry Academy needs you, Yu-sensei!]

"This is just baseless slander. Don't spread rumors that didn't happen!"

Qingyu frowned slightly, looking quite angry.

But he quickly changed the subject and said:

"However, after this Masters tournament ends, I do plan to go to Sinnoh and Kitakami to rest for a while during my vacation."

"The viewers in the live stream might not know, but actually..."

"I was indeed born in Sinnoh, but I inherited my parents' gym in Padia."

"So it doesn't seem wrong to call them Sinnoh people."

Upon hearing this, countless viewers in the live chat were instantly dumbfounded.

【Huh? We were just joking, and you actually did it???】

[Now I'm really worried that Champion Zhulan will kidnap Teacher Yu... No, you can't!]

[Teacher Yu, come back soon! Padiyah will be issuing gold bars next year!]

[I'm going to give Sunshine Dojo a good review right now, come back to my proudest dojo master, Teacher Yu QwQ]

Even Gadriya, who was sitting next to Qingyu, couldn't help but frown.

Go to Sinnoh and Kitakami-go?
with who?

It couldn't possibly be just one person, could it?
Cattleya had a vague feeling that things weren't so simple, but...

Zhu Lan didn't seem to have mentioned this to me at all, so I couldn't very well shamelessly ask her about it...

That wretched Zhu Lan! You don't need your best friend anymore now that you have a man, huh!

For some reason, Qingyu always felt that the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Just then, a whistle blew, signaling the official start of the match.

After two flashes of red light, Zhu Lan and A Du made their debuts simultaneously.

"Alright, let's turn our attention back to the battle!"

Qingyu instantly switched back to his professional commentary mode, observing the two Pokémon on the field and quickly offering his analysis.

"Adu's team started with a standard Dragonite, and Cynthia also chose her ace Garchomp. It was a clash between ace cards right from the start!"

Because Cyndaquil hadn't used Garchomp in previous battles, Garchomp was really going all out today.

Its thunderous roar upon entering the arena was enough to prove that it was in excellent condition.

Viewers may not be aware of just how powerful her Garchomp is, but Qingyu certainly is.

During the trials of the Road to the Championship, it single-handedly defeated Kikuno Tenno's entire team.

Even someone as skilled as Wataru, who is close to the champion, could easily suffer an upset if he's not careful. Wataru, on the other hand, seemed to understand.

It really is this Garchomp.

It's not difficult to get information about Cynthia; there are records of her challenging the Champion Road on Pokémon TV.

Therefore, A-Du is very clear about its battle record.

Unfortunately...

Dragonite's Ice Punch is equally deadly to Garchomp!
"Dragonite, Ice Punch!"

Without hesitation, A-Du took the initiative and made the first move.

Meanwhile, Zhu Lan revealed a meaningful smile and quickly retaliated:
"Garuda, dodge and unleash a sandstorm!"

Although both are Garchomp, Garchomp's speed is no slower than the Flygon that Dragonite faced yesterday.

With some precautions in place, Garchomp's explosive start instantly dodged Dragonite's Ice Punch attack, and at the same time, its roar echoed throughout the stadium.

Soon, a sudden gust of wind swept across the field, followed by a sandstorm carrying gravel and sand.

"sandstorm?"

Adu was stunned for a moment, but when he noticed that Garchomp's figure was already difficult to see with the naked eye in the sandstorm, he quickly reacted.

It's the Sand Cloak ability!
But in his mind, Cyndaquil's Garchomp should have rough skin, right?

"It seems that Cynthia temporarily changed her Pokémon's ability to Sand Veil for this battle."

Qingyu raised an eyebrow and explained to the audience.

"Garuda's other feature, Rough Skin, is obviously more practical. When it comes into contact with an opponent's close-range attack, it can use its skin to scratch the opponent and cause some damage."

"But because its opponent is Lance's Dragonite, Ice Punch poses a great threat to Garchomp, so it needs to avoid being hit by its opponent as much as possible in this battle."

"In situations like this, the Sand Cloak trait becomes much more useful."

[Wash traits? Is that even possible?]

[The special plaster can be bought in the Parthian region, but it's a bit pricey...]

[So if I change it to a strongman and then Slacker, wouldn't I be invincible?]

"What are you thinking? If it were really that easy, it would have already fetched astronomical prices..."

Qingyu sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

Ability Plasters and Ability Capsules are brand new items invented in recent years. They are very powerful and can directly change a Pokémon's ability.

However, they obviously cannot be created out of thin air; they can only switch between the abilities that Pokémon can possess.

As for other illegal features, there's no other way besides having them as gifts from friends.

Garchomp, once a powerful member of the Sandstorm team, may not be as prestigious as a certain true Garchomp, but it still has its own advantages.

Rat-headed Earth Dragon: What kind of sandstorm brother are you?
The Sand Cloak ability allows Garchomp to swim easily in sandstorms, and even Dragonite can't do much against it for a while.

Moreover, the sandstorm played another role in this battle—

As countless pebbles whistled through the wind, the multiple scales on Dragonite's chest, which effectively mitigated the impact, began to shake rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, most of them had fallen off.

A-Du quickly realized what was happening and immediately gave instructions:

"Dragonite, Tailwind!"

If you can't even find Garchomp when you can't find a target again, you naturally can't disrupt your opponent's rhythm.

Therefore, A-Du's idea was simple: use relative wind force to counteract the sandstorm's effects, while simultaneously putting himself in a tailwind position to further increase Dragonite's speed.

As Dragonite flapped its wings, a strong gust of air rushed from behind, blowing away most of the sand and revealing Garchomp's silhouette.

however……

When he saw Garchomp's crimson eyes, A-Lun quickly realized that his reaction was a beat too slow!
