You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 18 I can't take it anymore, I'm going to explode!

Phadoya region, Niangguang Dojo.

"I need to find out who this guy is. I don't think I've ever heard of this dojo before..."

After losing to Qingyu, Qishu, whose winning streak was ended, naturally lost the mood to stream.

But after the broadcast ended, she became even more concerned about the identity of this "Azure Feather".

At least I can be sure that there is no such person among the eight dojos in the Padiya region, so it can only be from other amateur dojos.

"But to come up with two highly refined and entirely original tactics, one should at least be a seasoned trainer..."

"But how come I've never heard of such a person before?"

Although she had only recently taken over the position of gym leader from her parents, she was still very familiar with the famous seniors of the Padilla League.

The more Qishu pondered this, the more curious he became.

Qishu has always been a man of action; once a problem arises, he will inevitably find a way to solve it.

And the method to get the answer is very simple—

As a gym leader, she naturally has access to the league's internal network, so it wouldn't be difficult to find out who this anonymous gym leader really is.

But this investigation almost made her become withdrawn.

"Sunny Gym... So there really are League Gyms that aren't named after cities? And it's located in Keytown in the South District? What a remote place..."

"Huh? This dojo has been closed for six months?"

The reason is...

"The dojo owner and his wife went missing during exploration work in Area Zero???"

Staring at the archives bearing the official seal of the Padiya League, the Qishu people were dumbfounded.

Every Parthian knows about the major event that happened in District Zero six months ago.

The exploration of the mysterious Zone Zero has been a major focus of the Alliance for the past decade.

Under the direction of Dr. Orin and Dr. Futu, the first few expeditions yielded good results, and several observation posts were successfully established inside.

They even revealed the principle behind the amazing phenomenon of tert-crystallization, thus enabling the mass production of tert-crystallized beads.

However, six months ago, when the doctor and his wife defied all advice and ventured deep into the Taijing Mine in Zone Zero to build a time machine, an accident occurred.

To this day, no one knows exactly what happened in Zone Zero.

But so much time has passed, the people who went missing back then should have long since...

Kishu sighed. If she had known beforehand that it would be such heavy news, she probably wouldn't have wanted to find out.

Since the gym leader and his wife have disappeared, the only ones who can inherit the Sunshine Gym now are their children, right?
As expected, the information regarding the dojo's successor has been updated.

Qingyu, 18 years old, leader of Sunshine Dojo.

The identity matches the streamer named "Qunqing Zhiyu," so it is indeed him.

So the guy who just defeated me is actually so young?

Are they the same age as me?
Qi Shu's pupils dilated several times in an instant.

Although the world is never short of geniuses, there are many who become champions at the age of eighteen.

But compared to those vague legends from other regions, this peer named Qingyu is actually the closest to him.

An eighteen-year-old tactical mastermind.

If it weren't for these unexpected events, he would probably already be vying for this year's championship title, right?

pity……

It's likely that just recovering from the shock of his parents' disappearance has already taken all his energy.

Perhaps this foray into the live streaming industry is his first step out of the shadows?
Qi Shu suddenly felt a pang of regret, recalling how he had recently planned to use Qi Shu to gain attention by stepping on him, and a strange sense of shame welled up inside him. Qi Shu was already in such a sorry state; he really couldn't bring himself to compete with him anymore…

After losing to Qingyu, her mindset did indeed change slightly.

After learning the true identity of this "Wings of Azure Skies" through official channels, I felt a deep admiration for this strong young man.

Do you want to give him a hand?

Just as she sighed and prepared to shut down her computer and stop thinking about these messages...

A notification appeared from Pokémon TV.

"The video creator you follow, 'Qunqingzhiyu,' has just released a new video!"

……

At midnight, Qingyu was fast asleep, holding Eevee.

The videos he had previously edited and produced appeared on Pokémon TV on time.

As soon as it was released, a large number of eager viewers flocked to it.

【Oh, oh, oh, here it comes!】

It's only 12 o'clock, you didn't think I was asleep, did you?

[I was actually there this time! The streamer's self-destructing spike trap forced Miss Qishu to surrender. I've never seen such a gruesome tactic before!]

Most of the people who tune in to Pokémon TV on time are fans from Qingyu's live stream, waiting for him to give them a more comprehensive and detailed tutorial so they can use it to climb the ranks.

Especially when Qingyu said in the video that this tactic was time-sensitive and would not be as effective if others knew about it, the audience remained silent for a long time.

Everyone was focused intently on Qingyu's video tutorials, and the density of bullet comments decreased significantly.

Since this tactic was only used once, the material for this episode obviously comes from his match against Kiju.

Whether it's Skarmory that enters the fray despite type disadvantage and lays down crucial spikes;
Or perhaps it's the bronze bell that uses magic to reverse the situation and finally makes the most of its remaining power with a big explosion;
Even the Metagross Monster, who can take down a child with a single punch and showcase the aesthetics of violence.

They undoubtedly left a deep impression on the audience.

Kiju's decisive surrender at the end seemed to validate the feasibility of this tactic.

Soon the video reached its end, and Qingyu gave her final summary:

"Simply put, use spikes to press down the opponent's health bar to gain a health advantage, and after taking down one of the opponent's Pokémon, use Explosion to further expand the advantage."

"'I can't take it anymore, I'm going to explode!' That's the core of this tactic."

"Besides the Pokémon used in the video, there are many other options to join the team, and we'll adjust that according to the students' ideas."

[So that's how you use nails... I've learned it, I'm going to use it to rank up!]

[Guys, I suggest you bring more Pokémon with the Damp ability in your teams these next few days. Don't ask me how I know!]

I hadn't encountered this much before, so I didn't realize how much impact a few nails could have on the whole situation.

Qingyu actually had a little something going on in these two live streams. The tactics he chose were relatively simple, and as long as you understand the principles, you can quickly get the hang of them.

After watching the video, many viewers said they felt confident and were eager to enter ranked matches, hoping to gain a significant advantage by exploiting this information gap.

As the video progress bar scrolled to the end, Qingyu anticipated the viewers' thoughts and posed a thought-provoking question:
"After watching this video, I believe you all have a better understanding of the importance of nails in singles."

"So, today's homework will help you broaden your thinking—"

"Since nails are so disgusting, what methods do we have to remove the nails our opponents have scattered?"

The audience was clearly stumped by the question.

What should you do if you don't know the answer?

Of course, you should go to the comments section and find the class representative!
