You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 188 Teacher Yu, keeping cute things to yourself is a capital offense!
After one match ended, Qingyu played several more matches in a row.

Perhaps it was because the "military training" had finally yielded results, or perhaps it was because the tactics of the Heavenly Grace Pokémon were widely known, that half of the trainers chose to focus their fire on his small plane.

Then, the BOSS entered the second phase.

With their Pick Up ability, a combination of throwing moves and items, Dedora and Apokolips dominated in Doubles ranked battles, scaring away all their opponents with their relatively weak throwing moves.

"Phew—thankfully I'm a cut above the rest."

After yet another opponent, unable to bear the humiliation, decisively chose to unplug the network cable and run away, Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

This two-stage combination has almost no countermeasures against Pokémon that are not fast and have no priority moves; it can be said to be a sure-win tactic.

But the cost is also obvious—

A game can drag on for a very long time.

He only played five ranked matches in an hour, which is ridiculously inefficient compared to his usual performance.

Even considering waiting time in advanced balls, the average time per game is much shorter than with this lineup, and the pace of doubles is even faster than that of singles.

[Another poor soul driven to the point of unplugging the internet cable...]

[Teacher Yu, have some decency! Let's switch to a tactic more suitable for human players!]

[The "entertainment tactic" refers to a strategy where only you can have fun, and the opponent can't play at all, right?]

[No wonder the students from Padia like to give Sunnyside Gym bad reviews, now I finally understand!]

Qingyu lay back in her seat, stretched, and then looked at the time on her computer.

It's almost time to end the broadcast.

Just as he was about to cast the spell at lightning speed and immediately shut down the live stream after finishing his closing remarks, the door behind him was suddenly opened.

"Qingyu, would you like some fruit?"

Zhu Lan appeared in the room carrying a fruit platter, walking towards Qing Yu with a smile.

[Holy crap, something's wrong! There's a woman's voice in Teacher Yu's room!]

[Judging from the voice, it sounds like Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion, doesn't it?]

[Impossible, absolutely impossible! Miss Zhu Lan, who is so aloof in front of the camera, would never speak so gently. I don't believe it!]

[Teacher Yu, hoarding cute things is a capital offense! Have you truly betrayed the Chu Nan class?!]

Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously grabbed the Rotom phone that was circling around her and serving as the live stream camera, and forcibly turned it off.

"Guys, I suddenly remembered I left the gas on at home, I'm going offline now!"

After offering a forced explanation, a flash of white light appeared on the live stream screen before it quickly went dark again.

【What? Is it because the following content can't be broadcast? I've been a fan of Teacher Yu for ten years, please check what's wrong!】

[This streamer is really adorable! Didn't he say he was going to become the King of Battles?]

Brothers, things have come to this, let's just leave bad reviews first!

That makes sense, I'll definitely make you give me a flood of negative reviews!

……

Did I interrupt your live stream?

After shutting down the computer, Zhu Lan walked over to Qing Yu, put down the fruit plate she was holding, and tilted her head to look at Qing Yu.

"..."

"It's not that bad, it was time to end the broadcast anyway."

Qingyu scratched his head.

Actually, he didn't know what he was thinking just now; he subconsciously blurted out a clumsy lie.

This is the legendary...

My mind is in turmoil, and my knife is drifting?

Qingyu's gaze was somewhat complicated. After taking the colorful fruit platter from Zhulan, she forked a piece of banana-flavored fruit and put it in her mouth.

As we all know, most of the berries in the Pokémon world have amazing properties.

Banana berries are a type of nutritious tree fruit that, in addition to quickly restoring stamina, also has the unique effect of stabilizing a Pokémon's emotions. Since humans and Pokémon are inseparable in the Pokémon world, it should have some effect on him as well.

It wasn't until she took a bite and the juice burst out that Qingyu suddenly realized why the banana-scented fruit had a calming effect on emotions.

It tastes very sweet, and generally speaking, sweet fruits have a good recovery effect.

But the bitter taste that followed made Qingyu gasp, and her thoughts instantly became much clearer.

So they're forcibly waking people up with their smells...?

But the effect was actually quite good.

After showing off several pieces of fruit, Qingyu suddenly noticed that Zhulan was silently watching her with a smile.

"...Would you like to try a bite?"

After blurting it out subconsciously, Zhu Lan blinked, seemingly not expecting him to say that.

But after thinking for less than a second, she decisively reached out and smoothed the few strands of hair that were blocking her temples, and slowly leaned forward a little.

Until his line of sight was level with Qingyu's.

"Ah~~~"

His gaze was fixed on Zhu Lan's beautiful face, which was so close to his own, and he could even glimpse a hint of pink from her half-open, rosy lips.

Does she want me to feed her?

Qingyu's pupils widened instantly, but she tried her best to remain calm, picking up a piece of mango without batting an eye and offering it to him.

The moment the fruit touched my lips and tongue, I pulled the fork back as if I'd been electrocuted.

“It’s quite sweet.”

Licking her lips, which were stained with juice, Zhu Lan smiled slightly, her bright and captivating amber eyes radiating a mesmerizing light.

"..."

Qingyu sat in the chair and unconsciously turned her head away, avoiding eye contact with her.

Even her unintentional movements are so charming.

She truly lives up to her nickname, "Sister Cabbage."

Seeing Qingyu turn her head away, Zhulan's smile seemed to widen even more, but she quickly regained her composure and said:

"Oh right, I almost forgot what I wanted to tell you when I came here."

"Remember to go to bed early tonight. Let's set off for Beishang Township tomorrow so we can return to Shenhe Town before the New Year."

"it is good."

Qingyu nodded.

In the suggestion I promised Chihran, besides going back to Sinnoh, there was also a part about traveling to Kitakami-go and soaking in hot springs.

Although Kitakami Village belongs to Padia, Sinnoh and Johto are clearly closer to it in terms of distance.

Therefore, even if you travel to Beishang Township for a few days now, you will definitely have enough time to return to Shenhe Town for the Lunar New Year.

……

As night fell, before going to sleep, Qingyu began researching information about Beishang Township online.

It is largely consistent with my understanding of my previous life.

Although Beishang Township is part of the Padiya League, its geographical location makes it difficult to maintain constant control over the area, thus granting the local residents a high degree of autonomy.

Aside from a general tourism development plan given by Yeci, the only time they really connect with Padiya is during the summer camps each year when students from Orange Academy come to Kitakami Township.

The main storyline here only begins when Orange Academy and Blueberry Academy launch a joint summer camp.

A management style very much like Pokémon.

However, speaking of Beishang Township, every player must be concerned about that cute and adorable creature, which is inexplicably mistaken for a "ghost" by the villagers, right?

Thinking of this, Qingyu sighed.

I wonder if I'll have a chance to meet the kind-hearted Ponpo this time...
