Chapter 254 Sunny Day Team's Lesson: Weather Master Teacher Yu!

When it comes to Mega Evolution, Qingyu actually thinks of the three legendary Pokémon from Hoenn first...

Although strictly speaking, Kyogre and Groudon are not considered Mega Evolutions, but rather a more special Primal Reversion phenomenon, Rayquaza's Mega Evolution cannot be compared with regular evolutions.

However, it's probably unlikely that you'll see the Hoenn Trio in the Pokémon games.

Conversely, a certain Pokémon that evolved to have the highest physical attack stat but had almost no moves available in actual battles also escaped unscathed.

Besides these impressive legendary Pokémon, other powerful creatures such as Gengar, Kangaskhan, and Salamence are also incredibly strong, each forming its own distinct system.

For example, the legendary Los Angeles team had already achieved great skill in the Black and White era, and after entering the Mega version, they even completed the last piece of the championship puzzle, achieving the infamous reputation of "even my grandma can reach 1800 points".

Unfortunately, for the same reason as the Hoenn trio, Qingyu never had the chance to use this incredibly powerful lineup.

So, among the Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, what other interesting ones are there?
Some brothers, yes.

Qingyu's gaze quickly settled on a very famous Pokémon.

Charizard!
(Original skin spray)

As one of the starter Pokémon that appeared in the first generation, and also Ash's main force in the original series, Charizard was extremely popular in its previous life.

Generally speaking, most of the Pokémon that appeared early on suffered from the limitations of their time, and gradually faded from the trainers' sight as more powerful Pokémon appeared later.

But Charizard is clearly not in this category.

Whether it's the appearance of the Hidden Ability in the Black and White Generations, the Mega Evolution in the X and Y Generations, or the Gigantamax in the Sword and Shield Generations, this old Deinhardt, ranked in the top ten of the Pokédex, has always kept up with the times and remained active at the forefront...

At the same time, it is also one of only two Pokémon to have two different Mega Evolution branches, which is really "lucky".

(Charizard's Counterattack, Douban rating 10.0)

While the X-spray is undeniably cool, especially given its outstanding performance in the anime, Aoba's target this time is the Y-spray.

Mega Charizard Y is a Pokémon that can be considered the leader of Team Sunny Day.

After Mega Evolution, some Pokémon will temporarily change their abilities, allowing them to use some unique tactics.

For example, seizing the right moment to use Mega Evolution after entering the battlefield to reliably gain the initiative in weather control is a classic example of this strategy.

The characteristic of Y-jet is that it can change the weather into a sunny day.

Coal Turtle? Nothing special!

Although the Mega Evolution system has not yet been officially implemented in Pokémon Champion, it is clearly only a matter of time.

With this in mind, Qingyu quickly finalized her teaching lineup for today.

He has already taught his students the basic concepts, from the most fundamental attribute relationships to team defense, field control, and rotation, through practical experience.

Now, it's time to increase the intensity and introduce some systematic content.

and so……

Sunny Day Team, let's go!

……

At 6:30 PM, it was time for Qingyu to start her live stream.

Because the live streams for the past few weeks have all featured doubles matches, many viewers who had been waiting in advance have started to complain.

[Do you guys think Coach Yu has become addicted to doubles? It's definitely fun, but it feels like a lot of what he's learned is useless in actual matches!]

[The person upstairs doesn't understand, does he? Teacher Yu's tactics are extremely important to us Guandu people!]

[Speaking of which, it seems like Mega Evolution is almost available in the game. I wonder if Teacher Yu knows about this. It seems like the two stones necessary for Mega Evolution haven't been found in the Padilla region, right?]

Is it possible that Teacher Yu's Sunny Gym Badge was made based on a Mega Stone, so I feel like it shouldn't be difficult for him...?

Just as the chat was buzzing with discussion, the previously dark live stream room suddenly lit up, and then Qingyu's voice quickly reached the ears of countless viewers.

Good evening, everyone!

What is Teacher Yu going to do today? Are there any less-than-sportsmanlike tactics?

[It's time for my favorite show to watch while eating!]

Teacher Yu, forever a legend!

After the live stream started streaming, the popularity skyrocketed, quickly reaching six figures, and the trend even increased instead of decreasing.

"I've already shared several doubles team compositions with you all recently. I just heard that Mega Evolution is coming to the game soon, so today we're going back to singles to warm up for the new version."

After a brief introduction, Qingyu quickly opened Pokémon Champion.

“In the past, I might have preferred to introduce the tactics of a particular Pokémon, but today I’m going to change my style and introduce a relatively simple tactical system.”

"That is—the Sunny Day Team!"

The moment these words were spoken, the live chat exploded with excitement.

[Oh my god! Is Teacher Yu finally going to go all out?]

[It seems like we haven't seen Teacher Yu use weather teams much. Aside from giving Lulina some guidance once, there hasn't been any follow-up, right?]

[You don't actually think Teacher Yu doesn't know the Sunny Day Team, do you? I feel like there's no tactic Teacher Yu doesn't know!]

"Hurry up and bring it up, I can't wait!" "..."

Sometimes Qingyu feels that her reputation is a bit too good. Whether it's students online or offline who challenge her, they all praise her teaching.

Even for the "sunny day" tactic, which they had never used before, most of the viewers in the live chat started to look forward to it without hesitation.

But why is it that despite being so beloved, my dojo has such a high rate of negative reviews...?

Qingyu didn't quite understand this question, but now was clearly not the time to dwell on it.

They're still streaming, it's only for an hour. If they keep spacing out, they probably won't even get to play a few games, let alone give a tutorial.

"The so-called Sunny Day Team is a team built around the concept of a sunny day."

Qingyu quickly shook his head and began to explain.

"We all know that weather is a very important part of Pokémon battles. Sunny, rainy, snowy, and sandstorm weather each have their own advantages."

"In my opinion, the biggest advantage of the Sunny Day team is—"

"Simple and straightforward!"

"This is a team with abundant offensive firepower that is easy to pick up. Their core tactic is to relentlessly attack the opponent until they are overwhelmed and ultimately achieve victory easily."

Because it was the first time Qingyu had explained a systematic tactic, she considered the pros and cons before finally choosing the less brain-intensive Sunny Day team.

The audience's reaction was not unexpected.

[That's great! I could never learn Coach Yu's predictions and command skills. Simple tactics are always the best!]

Wake up! The "simplicity" that Teacher Yu talks about might not be the same thing as what you understand as simple!

[Teacher Yu: I've taught you such mindless tactics, how come you still can't learn them? Is there something wrong with my teaching?]

[However, I really didn't expect Teacher Yu to have a hidden "Sunny Day Team" strategy. Is Teacher Yu actually a weather master?]

Just as the barrage of comments was scrolling wildly, a golden light suddenly flashed before Qingyu's eyes, and then a message immediately popped up in the lower left corner of the screen.

[User "Will of Fire" has gifted 10 Master Balls!]

Will of Fire...

Is it a large leaf?

Upon seeing the unfamiliar boss's name, Qingyu was initially taken aback, but quickly came to her senses.

I almost thought I'd wandered into the Naruto movie set by mistake.

"Thank you so much, King Ye, for the generous donation! May you live forever!"

Qingyu spoke fluently, thanking him for the gift as usual, while also noticing the eye-catching message he had sent.

[Will of Fire: Teacher Yu, please teach Team Sunny Day how to counter Team Trick Room! Something simple and easy to learn would be great! A generous reward awaits you!]

"..."

Qingyu immediately raised an eyebrow.

He had already automatically filled in the unspoken hints for Da Ye in his mind.

You want to learn how to fight Wusong from me, right?
Shouldn't you Sinnoh Elite Four members be best buddies for life? How come you've started secretly targeting others?
You big-eyed, thick-browed Ye, I never knew you were so cunning!
"Whether the needle is aimed at the Space Team is another matter. I hope my Sunny Day Team tutorial today will be helpful to Big Leaf King."

Qingyu smiled slightly and uttered very formal, polite words.

The Elite Four members of the Sinnoh region are indeed practically family, but he has never actually met Dai-yee...

What if things go wrong? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

While the probability of an upset is indeed low, it's definitely not zero in the chaotic environment at the beginning of the season.

This is a valuable experience that Qingyu has gained from many years of battles.

As they spoke, Qingyu had already opened the team editor and dragged a憨厚老实的煤龟 into the team.

At the same time, he quickly spoke up:
"Since today's team is the Sunny Day Team, let's take this opportunity to talk about two ways to activate the weather."

"The first and most common method is to manually activate the weather using a move. The advantage is that it doesn't discriminate against Pokémon; basically, as long as the type is correct, every starter Pokémon can activate the weather automatically."

Qingyu has been playing Pokémon Champions for quite some time and often encounters opponents who use weather teams.

But generally speaking, their weather teams are quite inflexible.

Perhaps it's because I don't know much about Pokémon and only use the Pokémon I recognize, or perhaps it's simply because I like those few Pokémon?
In short, Qingyu believes it is indeed necessary to popularize some more general basic concepts to them.

"However, I still recommend using the second method."

"That is, to use the characteristics of Pokémon to activate the weather immediately upon launch."

"Torrell's ability is Sunlight; whenever it appears, it quickly turns the weather in the area into a sunny day."

"In this way, we not only don't need to give commands, but we also make the opening options more diverse."

"Especially for Coal Tortoise, a sunny start means it also has the potential to be an attacker, sometimes catching the opponent off guard."
