You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 242 How could someone who likes Eevee be a bad person?
Friday, September 1st.

Since the challengers who are keen on gym battles (and suffering) have already come and gone, the Sunny Gym is a bit deserted today.

During this period, it wasn't that no other talented young people passed Qingyu's test.

However, overall, the pass rate is still a bit low.

It's not fair to blame Qingyu for having high standards, since he had already shown all his tactics to the challenger, and even the two Pokémon he chose were relatively ordinary.

If we can't get through this, it's purely because our command has been completely overwhelmed by our own negligence.

What is the goal of this championship run?
Choose a new champion to replace the busy Chairman Yeci and explore Zone Zero to find the real reason why the accident happened in the Great Void of Zero.

The difficulty of this mission was obviously high, because the group that went down to investigate with the two professors was a group of elite trainers, and even Qingyu's parents, who were both gym leaders, were there to keep things in order.

As it turned out, something still went wrong.

This also shows just how outrageous the overall strength of the four main characters in the game is.

The main character is even more formidable; it can even go toe-to-toe with the ferocious Milton/Guleton, and on its second exploration, it even brought Talebages home with it...

Although he didn't know why Ye Ci was preparing to open Zone Zero a year ahead of schedule, and Qing Yu had no idea where the game's protagonist, Xiao Qing/Xiao Chun, was, since the alliance had made such a request, he was naturally obligated to take full responsibility.

The standards are higher now, and the champions selected are relatively more reliable.

Although it is highly likely that this year's champion will be Nemo, who has disappeared, Qingyu treats all other challengers equally.

Who knows if a dark horse will suddenly emerge, injecting new vitality into the Padiya Alliance and becoming Ye Ci's most favored new executive (ox-horse)?

His high standards seem to have become the most attractive aspect of Sunshine Dojo for challengers. In the first few days of this week, he had already accepted dozens of challenges and was almost exhausted.

Fortunately, there don't seem to be many customers today, so it will be a relatively leisurely day.

Qingyu was happy to have some free time and was planning to take a nice nap while holding Sylveon.

[Good grief, so you're going to stream yourself sleeping since no one's challenging you at the dojo? Yu-sensei, you're something else!]

[It's reasonable to suspect this is a completely new way of live streaming. Teacher Yu is too amazing; she can even come up with new ideas for live streaming...]

Wow, Sylveon is so cute!

[Wait a minute? How could a trainer as heartless as Teacher Yu raise a Sylveon?]

Rotom continued his diligent live stream on his phone, while Qingyu's "laissez-faire" attitude of slacking off and sleeping on the sofa quickly sparked discussion among the viewers.

Just as Qingyu's consciousness was gradually fading, a knock came from outside the dojo, forcibly pulling his consciousness back into his body.

And just by sheer coincidence, another guest arrived.

Qingyu shook his head, having to temporarily abandon his idea of ​​taking a nap, and quickly got up and headed towards the dojo gate.

Pushing open the door, a girl with red bangs, black-rimmed glasses, and an Eevee backpack, dressed in a gender-neutral school uniform, appeared in front of Qingyu.

"Teacher Yu, I'm here to challenge the dojo..."

The girl, who seemed a bit socially anxious, looked up, made a quick eye contact with Qingyu, and then her gaze returned to the ground.

(Peony, a female fan of the Eevee family!)
?

Qingyu scratched his head.

Why was he able to recognize that it was a young girl at a glance?
Of course, it's because I've suffered losses in games!
Peony, the hacker and witty character in the main cast of the game "Vermilion/Purple", left a fairly deep impression on Qingyu.

Who would have thought that Peony is actually female, while Gurusha is male!
However, although Qingyu knew her and was familiar with her personality, they had obviously never met in the Pokémon world.

"Hello, are you here to challenge the gym?"

So Qingyu decisively chose to take the initiative to speak up, preventing this somewhat shy girl from continuing to suffer from social anxiety.

In the current timeline, she shouldn't have founded Team Celestial yet; she should just be an ordinary Galar exchange student, right?
Therefore, she must have only one purpose in coming to the Sunshine Gym—

To challenge the path to the championship, take the badge from your own hands!

Thinking of this, Qingyu quickly narrowed her eyes.

"Yes, it is……"

Peony nodded immediately, clasping her hands together, looking a little shy.

Seeing Qingyu's puzzled look, she quickly spoke again:
"Um... Ms. Yu, I heard you have a Sylveon pet, is that right? May I see it?"

Good grief, so they came for Ibrahimovic?

Qingyu paused for a moment, then quickly nodded.

"of course can."

"Thank you so much!"

After receiving Qingyu's permission, Mudan's expression quickly became excited.

"Buy?"

Seemingly hearing someone call her, Sylveon, who had been dozing on the sofa, suddenly got up and poked her head out from behind the sofa.

Your little cutie suddenly appears!
"Wow, it really is Sylveon!"

Upon seeing her "real target," Peony, who was initially experiencing some social anxiety, instantly became excited and took a few steps to Sylveon.

"Such shiny fur, and its body is more robust than that of a typical Sylveon. No wonder it's a Sylveon raised by Teacher Yu..."

After only a few glances, Peony made a simple judgment.

From this perspective, the leader of the Tianxing team, who later nurtured an entire Ibrahimovic squad, is indeed a die-hard Ibrahimovic fan.

"Booy?!"

Her comments quickly gave Sylveon a jolt.

What do you mean by "more robust"? Isn't that just a way of saying you're fat? To call someone fat so directly on the first meeting is incredibly rude of this kid!

Sylveon quickly turned its head away, looking as if it no longer wanted to pay attention to Peony.

"Well……"

Peony quickly realized she had said the wrong thing, so she immediately opened the backpack behind her and took out a jar of paste-like ingredients.

"Um, this is an apology for what I just said!"

When Peony opened the can, a fragrance immediately filled the entire Sunny Gym, causing Sylveon, who was initially a little angry, to instinctively turn its head curiously and glance at it unintentionally.

then……

"Bu-i!!!"

Sylveon immediately bristled, jumped up from the sofa, and disappeared in a flash, leaving only the sound of the bedroom door clicking shut.

Also drawn by the aroma was Milton, who was lying outside the gate. It had been sunbathing, but soon poked its head out and looked around the dojo, seemingly searching for the source of the fragrance.

But when it noticed the shape of the food in the challenger's hand, it immediately pulled its head back and hastily withdrew a Millerton.

"..."

Qingyu was speechless for a moment.

Judging from its appearance alone, it really does look no different from the food I made myself...

Could it be that I've given them psychological trauma?
Shouldn't it?

"how so……"

Peony, on the other hand, looked like she was questioning the meaning of life, muttering to herself silently.

"This should be the flavor that Eevee and its friends like the most..."

"Cough-cough-"

After Qingyu coughed lightly, he walked to Mudan's side, thus drawing her attention.

"Is this Galar curry?"

Peony is an exchange student from Galar, so it's quite normal that she knows how to make this kind of thing.

However, Aoba always wanted to complain, why is it that the food of Galar, whose prototype is an English word, is almost entirely curry?

But upon closer reflection, it seems surprisingly reasonable.
"Uh-huh!"

After Sylveon left, Peony returned to her shy demeanor.

Qingyu was quite interested in curry, but since he was currently live-streaming and his main role was still that of a gym leader, he decided to avoid such irrelevant topics for now.

"Sylveon probably won't be coming out for a while, so how about we have a thrilling gym challenge first?"

Qingyu gave a thumbs up, revealing a row of white teeth with a smile.

"OK……"

Without Sylveon, Peony seems to have lost interest in challenging the gyms.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, her goal in coming to the Sunny Gym was to meet Sylveon?

Challenging gyms is secondary.

This is quite the opposite of what other challengers have done.

No wonder he's a die-hard Eevee fanatic; how could someone who likes Eevee be a bad person?
It seems that she mentioned in the game that she didn't really like fighting, so she always wanted to solve problems in a relatively peaceful way. Later, she also felt that her "Sky Star Battle" was a bit foolish.

However, like Piper, although they all felt that they were not very suitable for battling, their Pokémon' levels were all very high...

The only word to describe it is talent.

So, Qingyu is really curious about what level this Tianxing team's BOSS is at now.

Such a talented child, if properly nurtured, might be much stronger than Qingyu remembered.

With this in mind, Qingyu quickly led Mudan to the battlefield.

……

On the battlefield, Qingyu, having finished explaining the rules, quickly threw out a Poké Ball.

This week, the nightmare of countless challengers, the Wind Fairy, makes a dazzling appearance.

"This kid is my first Pokémon. You can think about which Pokémon to use to deal with it."

After Qingyu gave a brief explanation as usual, Mudan across from him quickly shook her head.

"No need, Teacher Yu."

After entering the battle, Peony, who was originally a bit socially awkward, suddenly became more imposing, as if she had switched personalities, staring intently at the wind fairy in front of Qingyu.

“I often watch Teacher Yu’s live streams, so I’ve already figured out how to deal with this week’s dojo challenge.”

"My choice is..."

"I choose you, Umbreon!"

After Peony spoke loudly, she gently tossed out a red and white ball.

As a beam of red light shot out, a Pokémon similar in size to Sylveon, but with completely different colors and fur, appeared.

This is another branch of Eevee's evolution.

Umbreon!
