You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 217 That day, the students finally remembered the fear of the Sunny Dojo...

The next day, when the sun rose.

Many viewers who battled through the night in Pokémon Champions are still awake.

The reason is also very simple——

The person who can sleep soundly while looking at that sea of ​​red battle results must have an incredibly stable emotional state.

She could even date the shiny Machamp, the female lead in the famous Pokémon movie "My Sassy Girl".

The overnight defeat brought tears of regret to countless viewers.

I shouldn't have opened the game!
Teacher Yu, you're lying to us again! How come the actual gameplay is completely different from how you play?

At first, the game was quite easy, and thanks to the explosive combat power of the "Sick Leave King" and his team, they easily scored a wave of points.

But as the night went on, things started to feel increasingly off.

what's the situation?
How come even a human knows to provoke Çalhan?

There's no way to trade its ability with Slaking, and it's locked down by the opponent's Black Gaze or even Gothicourt with the Shadow Tag ability, so it can't switch out...

Even if they get smarter later and start with Alola Reciproca and Galarian Weezing, the opponent can still guess what they're going to do and quickly counter it.

I feel like I'm the one who's been completely figured out. How am I supposed to play this game?

Looking at the sun rising high in the sky, a viewer in Qingyu's live stream sighed and took out his phone to check the time.

Then, suddenly I realized—

Damn, did Teacher Yu already update her video yesterday?

No wonder these guys all know how to counter this tactic; they're here specifically to exploit this scoring method!

Pokémon battles are a very brutal thing.

Some savvy viewers felt that they should start ranking up as soon as possible, so they rushed into ranked matches after Qingyu's stream ended, hoping to gain points by taking advantage of the information gap before the team compositions became too common.

However, they still underestimated the influence of the name Qingyu, or "Qunqing Zhiyu".

Smarter players are already waiting for Teacher Yu's video updates on time, using his counter-tactics to catch these "clever little devils".

This new video is titled "Slaking's Overhaul Project: How to Give a Flawed Pokémon a New lease on life?"

It was released at midnight, which is only 6 hours ago.

But the number of views broke through a million at an alarming rate, and the number of people watching at the same time was close to five figures...

With such a large user base, it's no wonder that I encountered many teams tonight that specifically targeted those who wanted to take leave.

After stretching helplessly, he quickly clicked on the video.

[Just a heads up, this video is going to be super entertaining, haha!]

[Teacher Yu's latest masterpiece, heading straight down the highway of dirty tricks with no turning back!]

[Today's victim: Sinnoh Elite Four member Shomon!]

"Hello everyone, I'm Qunqingzhiyu, a new host."

Ignoring the frantically scrolling comments, all that reached my ears was the same formulaic opening line.

They already have millions of followers, yet they're still pretending to be newbies.

Shameless! I spit on you!
and many more……

It seems that Teacher Yu has only been live streaming for two months. From a time perspective, it's fair to say he's a newcomer.

The video continued playing quickly, and Qingyu's voice reappeared.

"How to modify the lazy nature of the 'Slacker' and make him the undisputed core of the doubles team is the topic we are studying today."

Next, Qingyu gave a brief overview of the function of each Pokémon in her team and how they would assist Slaking.

Medicham and Alolan Raichu with their abilities swapped with Slaking;

Utilizing its own "chemical change gas" property, Galarian Double Blast Gas can simultaneously negate the effects of both the opponent and Slaking's properties.
The electric storm petrel, which can be manually activated with a tailwind and has a certain degree of lethality;
And due to its "Psychic Creator" trait, it possesses a Psychic Field that prevents opponents from using priority moves to attack Slaking's Esper.

"Yeah, isn't this the one?"

The viewer scratched his head, thinking, "Isn't that how I play?"
The lineup was almost exactly the same as in the live stream, and the strategy remained unchanged.

Even the game records used for demonstrations were played live; those who watched the live streams learned the techniques just by observing.

However, seeing that there was still nearly half of the progress bar left, he decided to continue watching.

"This tactic looks simple, but it's actually not complicated at all. It's a very easy-to-use, fun lineup."

"Why do I emphasize that it's an entertainment lineup? Because..."

Qingyu paused for a moment.

"Once you understand the mechanics, you'll find that Slaking is actually quite easy to counter." "If there's a fast enough Taunt user who can interrupt Slaking's ability swap before Medicham can, Slaking will become useless on the field."

"Even though Alolan Raichu is faster and it might be harder to interrupt its attack, it's actually the same as Weezing. We just need to find a way to keep them on the field and focus our fire on them first."

The lineup in Qingyu's video quickly changed, listing several options that could provoke the opponent.

"For example... Shadow Tag ability or Black Eye?"

"The Shadow Tag ability may be relatively uncommon because there are very few Pokémon with it, but its effect is definitely very powerful."

Hearing this, the viewers finally understood—

It turns out my opponent wasn't a person, but rather a countermeasure developed by Teacher Yu!

No wonder I ran into so many Gothic ladies late at night.

It has to be said that the effect is really good, because Alolan Raichu needs to swap abilities, and it will inevitably be affected by the Sloth ability once next time.

Therefore, it had no chance to activate the electric field for Slaking, and it was also unable to escape the reset ability under the influence of Shadow Tag.

As expected of Teacher Yu, she even foresaw this level in advance?

In the video, Qingyu also listed the effects of having the Shadow Tag ability, as well as Pokémon that have this ability.

It can prevent the opponent from rotating normally, forcing them to use some moves to escape, which is indeed a very terrifying feature in battle.

Especially in doubles, having two Pokémon locked up is equivalent to losing half of your total strength.

However, perhaps because the effect is too powerful, there are currently only three types of Pokémon known to possess this ability.

Wobbuffet, Gothic, and Mega Gengar.

So there's really no choice, since Mega Evolution hasn't been implemented in the game yet, and Wobbuffet's direct combat power is almost negligible.

Miss Gothia is the best choice.

By using Shadow Tag, you can force your opponent, whose ability has been swapped, to stay on the field for a rest. Whether you quickly focus fire on Slaking or continue to limit your opponent, it's entirely up to you.

The lucky viewer suddenly felt that he hadn't lost unjustly.

It turns out my tactics were outdated!
He wasn't facing an ordinary trainer, but Yu-sensei, who had broken down counter-strategies and was trying to teach the audience how to use them...

What's the point of even hitting it then!

Thinking of this, the viewer suddenly smiled with relief.

He suddenly felt that he could fall asleep again. After all, he had basically lost to Teacher Yu, so how could it be considered shameful?
As he studied and filled in the blanks in his mind, the video quickly came to an end.

Besides introducing the doubles tactics and counter-strategies of the player who requested leave, Qingyu also left a few casual remarks in this video.

"Finally, let me also give you all a little plug~"

On the phone screen, Qingyu's voice suddenly became unserious, as if he had returned to his live stream style.

"The Christmas and New Year holidays are over, and Padiya is about to welcome a new school term and new classmates."

"This year, the Sunshine Gym in Keytown, where I serve as the gym leader, will be one of the eight testing gyms on the Road to Champions. Please do your homework before challenging this gym!"

"Because we are tasked with selecting outstanding trainers to participate in the next round of assessments in the League, the difficulty of this year's Sunny Gym assessment will be 'slightly' increased. Please be prepared for this, young geniuses."

In the video, Qingyu makes a pinching motion with her fingers.

"That's all for now. I hope you'll continue to support me this year!"

As expected, the comments section at the end of the video erupted in groans of despair.

[Huh? Teacher Yu is the examiner for the Eight Dojos? Does that mean the pass rate this year will be extremely low...?]

Forget about it. Because our Padiya Alliance doesn't have a regional tournament system, there aren't many newcomers who can actually get eight badges each year. Basically, no more than ten people can even enter the Alliance to participate in the second round of exams.

[After all, there's only one champion a year. I heard that President Ye Ci will go easy on you in the battles, but only if you clear all eight gyms and defeat the Elite Four first!]

On the bright side, at least Teacher Yu is only a gym leader, not an Elite Four member yet. Otherwise, who could pass the championship test...?

[I'm so scared I'm crying.jpg. I just can't believe they're only increasing the intensity a little bit...?]

The viewers who had been hoping to get a good night's sleep were now on the verge of tears.

What, you mean...

Let me take on the most difficult challenge, Teacher Yu?

He was also a new student at Orange Academy this year. He originally planned to rely on the understanding he learned from Teacher Yu to dominate the entire Padia League and become the champion.

After staying up all night, I discovered that my teacher had become the gatekeeper boss on the road to victory.

Who can sleep now?!
That day, the students finally remembered the fear they had experienced at the Sunshine Dojo!
Moreover, based on their understanding of Teacher Yu, these viewers who watch the live stream every day...

Teacher Yu, who has even higher standards, will never let anyone pass easily, so you can imagine how difficult it is to get the badge!

Therefore, if they want to break through to the championship, all they can do is give it their all and try to show their strength or command ideas so that Coach Yu can recognize them!
Will it win?
Will win!
