You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 212 New semester, new season, let's start with some doubles tactics!
After seeing Mu Fei off, Qing Yu began to ponder the last few words he had left behind.

Is President Yeci planning to open Zone Zero ahead of schedule?
Internal documents from the alliance reveal the following:
After the two doctors' research trip to Sector Zero resulted in an accident, the entire Sector Zero has now been overrun by various powerful Pokémon.

Some of them are even special Pokémon that have never appeared in Padia and have only been recorded in the notes left by Hezer. They are more violent than other Pokémon and pose a great threat to humans.

Therefore, after the first Pokémon that was very similar to Donphan escaped, the Padilla League quickly and completely sealed off the entrances and exits to Sector Zero.

According to the game's storyline, the Zero Zone should be reopened only after the protagonist becomes the champion and all members of the protagonist's team are at the champion level.

However, now Zone Zero is preparing to open a year ahead of schedule?

Let alone Xiaoqing and Xiaochun, the two designated protagonists of Padia, even Nemo, the champion, is nowhere to be seen yet...

Could it be that my appearance caused the butterfly effect again?
The more Qingyu thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. After all, he and Pipa would have to go to Zone Zero sooner or later to see if they could find any clues.

With himself as the gym leader, it seems that as long as Nemo becomes the champion, the future strength of the Sunny Gym should be enough to explore District Zero.

Thinking of this, Qingyu silently made a mental note.

Sector Zero, the deepest and most dangerous hidden place in Padiya.

Besides the various paradoxical Pokémon that shouldn't exist in theory, there should also be another "Paradise Guardian Dragon" in the game.

In the deepest void of Zone Zero, there lies the Talebaghs, the origin of terrestrial crystallization, which has slumbered since ancient times.

It was these very things that drew the attention of Hyde hundreds of years ago, and his writings have influenced the two Pokémon professors of modern Padia.

The two doctors' discovery in Zone Zero ultimately revealed the principle of terrecrystallization, but their research into finding the source of terrecrystallization ultimately led to an accident.

Now, all that's left is for a capable individual to break through Zone Zero, ushering in a new era for humanity's millennia-long exploration of Zone Zero.

Thinking of this, Qingyu couldn't help but sigh.

Although I make it sound so easy, the price I paid in the process was clearly not small.

Despite being a pioneer, Heitzer is still regarded as a fraud to this day;

It was possible that Hai Zhe's companion, the man from Beishang Township, had to take Egui Peng far away from home.
So much time has passed, and there's probably little chance of saving his parents, the PhD couple, and many researchers.

Qingyu didn't want to consider whether it was worth it; she only hoped that in the not-too-distant future, she could personally bring this exploration journey spanning a thousand years to a fairly perfect conclusion.

……

night.

With the new semester approaching, Qingyu needs to start preparing new tactics to teach her students both online and offline.

However, when Qingyu turned on his computer, he discovered—

Has the season for Pokémon Champions been updated?
Last season, his record was pretty good. In singles, he almost went from zero to Masters with a terrifying win rate of over 90%.

This is the result of him sometimes using tactics to create some entertainment value. If he took every game seriously, he might really have a 100% win rate.

If the dojo hadn't gotten on track later and I hadn't been a little lazy with the live stream, it wouldn't have been difficult to climb up the ranks in one go.

However, although he lost a few points after the season update, it wasn't much, and he still maintained his mid-level rank in the advanced ball category.

As for doubles, because he joined relatively late, he didn't play many games, so his rank is only Super Ball.

To balance the skill levels of both sides, Qingyu decisively decided to stream doubles ranked matches tonight.

Aside from the season update, there aren't any other updates for Pokémon Champions for the time being.

They simply dangled a carrot in front of the players:

Game Freak Studios has officially partnered with Devon Corporation in the Hoenn region to try adding the mysterious Mega Evolution phenomenon in an update this year, expanding the game's tactical options.

"Oh?"

Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

Mega Evolution?

I know this very well. I know everything about Pokémon, not just ordinary ones, but even the Mega Evolutions of legendary Pokémon!

First, kick Mewtwo X and Garchomp out of the team!
While the content mentioned this time is still just a promise, it did give players a small hint—

Mega Evolution is almost here, so how far away are Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Crystallization?

……

It is said that Qingyu has returned to Padiya, and many viewers guessed that he would probably go live tonight, so they waited in the live broadcast room early.

With a blinding flash of white light, the live stream started streaming, and Qingyu's computer screen appeared on the viewers' screens.

[Finally, you're here! Teacher Yu, you'd better make up for all the updates you've missed these past few days!]

[Teacher Yu is truly the epitome of a single nobleman like us. I almost misunderstood before, thinking you were going to stay in Sinnoh and never come back...]

[I just slid in to eat, do you know how I survive without streamers?!]

Aside from making up for one live stream on the day she returned to Sinnoh, Qingyu has basically forgotten that she also has the identity of "Pokémon TV's top streamer" these days.

The long holiday has left the audience eagerly awaiting his updates on other interesting tactics.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting. Today, taking advantage of the new season, we'll have a tutorial on doubles lineups. We can also use this opportunity to introduce a high-level ball and match it with the singles rank." Qingyu said with a smile, which quickly drew comments from the live chat.

Good grief, he's not even bothering to act anymore, going up to the advanced ball is just a piece of cake for him, huh!

[I was actually there this time, I'm a pro!]

[Something's not right with you!]

"Today we're going to have some research-driven lineups. When it comes to doubles, heavily modifying Pokémon is definitely a must-do."

As he spoke, Qingyu opened the team editor and pulled a strong, white-clad figure into the team.

There is a Pokémon that is in the same boat as Regigigas, the Toilet King.

Despite possessing a formidable physique comparable to a legendary Pokémon and boasting impressive theoretical combat power, it is a choice rarely used by ordinary Pokémon players.

That's right, it is—

(The King of Leave)

[The King of Taking Leave? Teacher Yu, are you planning to have him take down one enemy at a time?]

Seeing this Pokémon reminds me of the Gym Leader's Pokémon. If it weren't lazy, it would be quite terrifying, but...

[You should change your Pokémon's ability before battling again. Who wants to train a disobedient Pokémon?]

The appearance of "Fake King" quickly sparked enthusiastic discussion in the live chat.

This Pokémon is very famous, but most of the reviews are negative.

The reason is also very simple.

Slaking is arguably the most unconventional Pokémon in the world.

Its body possesses exaggerated power, but Slaking is unwilling to realize this talent. Instead, after evolving, it becomes lazy and refuses to participate in even daily training.

It is precisely because of this genetic defect that the Pokédex describes its trait as lazy.

This characteristic means that after using a move, it will inevitably slack off for a while, which may cause it to miss a valuable opportunity to attack, thus greatly affecting the trainer's mentality.

Aside from a very few exceptional cases where this flaw was overcome, Slaking is almost universally recognized as one of the Pokémon least suited for trainer training.

"It's true that the Sloth trait greatly affects combat power, but since I chose this Pokémon, I naturally already have a way to modify it."

After keeping everyone in suspense for a moment, Qingyu continued.

"If Slaking gained other powerful abilities, how would its combat strength be?"

"Don't you find it interesting?"

In fact, it was precisely because of this characteristic of the "King of Taking Leave" that it became a unique subject in the doubles format of the previous life.

Right now--

How to get the "Sick Leave King" to unleash his full potential, or even surpass his own limits.

Through the brainstorming of countless geniuses, several excellent solutions were eventually developed, all of which left a deep impression on Qingyu.

Allowing Pokémon to unleash their full potential is also a reflection of a trainer's skill level.

What, you don't want to fight?
It’s not up to you!

How can you sleep soundly at your age if you haven't won a match?

[Slacker's ability has been modified? It seems like it would be really effective in doubles with a teammate!]

[Can we have a Slacker? That punch would probably be too much for even a pseudo-legendary character to withstand!]

[As expected of Teacher Yu, her tricks today seem quite interesting!]

[Looks like we'll have to use a trait swap?]

"That's right, the soul of our tactics this time is the move 'Show-Off'."

After noticing one of the comments, Qingyu nodded.

Ability Swap is a status move that many Psychic-type Pokémon can learn. Its effect is to temporarily swap the abilities of the user and the target.

In singles, this move is somewhat useless because the opponent's characteristics are completely unpredictable.

Although it may occasionally produce surprising results, its overall presence is very low.

However, it's a different story in doubles.

For Pokémon like Slaking that desperately need to trade abilities, this is a divine intervention!

and……

Among the Pokémon that can learn this move, there happen to be two teammates who are very suitable for Slaking.

Çalhan and Raichu (Alolan form)
