You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 263, Teacher Yu, is it legal for your dojo to lock the weather like this...?

on Monday.

After getting up and washing up, the first thing Qingyu did was open the dojo door and put the teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll-shaped ornament) hanging outside back into her pocket.

The brilliant sunlight shines on the ground, creating a warm atmosphere even in winter.

Milton, basking in the sun, squinted comfortably. He glanced at Qingyu as she left, then continued to enjoy the sunbathing that made even the motorcycle feel good.

Qingyu shook her head, feeling both helpless and amused.

Someone who didn't know better might think it was being charged by solar power...

Then, he looked up at the golden sun high in the sky.

The teru teru bozu (sunny doll) really works! The weather forecast said it would drizzle last night, but today there isn't a single cloud in sight.

While using Sunny Day on a Pokémon can achieve the same effect in the short term, the duration is obviously far shorter than using technology directly.

In order for today's dojo strategy to be successfully implemented, Qingyu has made ample preparations.

Recently, Sunny Gym's tactics have been mainly based on weather systems, and they are only changed every two weeks.

So, he decided to use what he had to do something fancy.

For example, the weather for this week's gym battle will be forcibly locked as sunny, and next week challengers who have a general understanding of their sunny weather team system will be allowed to use weather to override the sunny weather.

In this way, even though they are the same Pokémon, they can present a wider variety of tactical styles in actual battles, deepening their understanding.

At first, Qingyu thought his teaching methods would at least make the students understand, but after so many gym battles, he had come to realize a truth—

Preaching is useless!

Only children who have been thoroughly trained by the tactics you've taught can remember them, and they grasp the concepts much faster than those who attend classes...

After losing once or twice, and observing how others lose, they'll get a general idea of ​​the situation.

Want to learn how to play the Sunny Day Team? First, watch how Teacher Yu plays; you'll understand once you've been beaten up!
It's basically a haphazard approach, but it's surprisingly effective for the students at Orange Academy.

Once the first student (referring to Okamoto) takes the lead in rolling it up, everyone else is quickly drawn in and has to keep up...

After being brutally beaten by Teacher Yu, others learned new tactics and their skills improved rapidly. If you saw this, would you learn them?
I have to learn it, even if it kills me!

Everyone is making progress. If you don't keep up, aren't you just waiting to fall behind and become the worst student in the school sooner or later?
Don't do this kind of thing!
So, unexpectedly, starting with Qingyu, the gym leader who received rave reviews, all the students at Orange Academy began to study like crazy.

Even though attending classes isn't mandatory during the championship run, students often come back for extra lessons to catch up on the basic skills they've missed.

Under the influence of such a competitive campus atmosphere where if you don't study, there are plenty of others who will, the entire Orange Academy is full of vitality and thriving.

Qingyu had heard some of what had happened about this.

His opinion on this is:

This is definitely a great thing! That's so me!

The students not only became more obedient, but their abilities also began to skyrocket.

The serious bullying incident that Qingyu was so worried about never actually happened...

There isn't enough time to read books and learn tactics from Teacher Yu. How much free time do you have to bully other students?
Not only the students, but also the dojo masters who are responsible for assessing them, as well as the temporary teachers in charge of basic theory courses, have been feeling immense pressure lately.

Especially Kiju-senpai from the Brewmaster Dojo, I heard that ever since his most proficient tailwind strategy was exposed by him, it has recently become a breakthrough point for students to boost their confidence...

I hope Senior Qishu is alright.

"Speaking of which... even though the problem of school bullying has been resolved without us even realizing it, did Peony still establish the Tensei Team just like in the original timeline?"

Qingyu suddenly remembered Mudan, who had come to challenge the dojo last week.

Although she looks a bit delicate, Peony's initiative is among the best of the students.

With her first challenge to the dojo earning Qingyu's approval and the highest rating she's received so far this year, Mudan quickly gained a certain reputation among the students.

Based on this, it seems quite natural to establish a Tianxing team with a slightly different purpose than the original one, but which is more acceptable to people.

The current Tianxing team has nothing to do with school bullying anymore; it was established purely to provide students with a platform for mutual learning and discussion.

Even Ye Ci's side approved the request to establish a club at lightning speed.

Of course, compared to student organizations, there is another aspect of this brand-new Tianxing team that also makes Qingyu want to complain.

Besides discussing the matches, the Tianxing team is also known as—

Teacher Yu's Fan Club!
"Something feels off..."

Qingyu sighed, and just then he suddenly heard a strange noise from above.

Looking up, I saw that my precious dragon had sneaked out at some point and somehow climbed onto the roof, where it was grinning at me.

Then, under Qingyu's wide-eyed gaze, he jumped down.

"..."

Qingyu instinctively reached out to catch it, but quickly realized what was happening, and her expression became slightly complicated.

Has this day finally come?
Soon, with a loud "thump," the top-heavy baby dragon crashed headfirst onto the ground.

The hard iron shell provided the best protection, shielding it from falls, but it also caused the baby dragon to get stuck on the ground, struggling to wriggle its little feet and try to break free.

Seeing this, Qingyu smiled helplessly, stepped forward, and pulled it out of the ground with both hands.

"Hey!"

After letting out a silly laugh, Baby Dragon quickly broke free from Qingyu's grasp and skillfully climbed onto the roof from the side of the dojo once again. Qingyu watched its movements silently, without saying a word.

According to the Pokédex, Bagon is a Pokémon that longs for the sky and desires to one day be able to fly.

Therefore, once their bodies have developed to a certain extent, they will begin their "great flight".

Simply put, it means finding a high place and jumping off a cliff.

In any case, due to their top-heavy body structure, they will only crash headfirst to the ground, and their hard heads can even smash huge rocks to pieces while protecting them from any damage.

Therefore, in the Pokédex, Bagon is classified as a "Solid-Headed Pokémon".

Qingyu, this precious dragon, has an even more obvious hard-headed trait; it's definitely a headless monster...

However, perhaps it is precisely because of this day-to-day behavior that the baby dragon was able to evolve one day and spread its blood-red wings to soar through the sky.

see it?

If you're sincere enough, any Pokémon might have the potential to fly!

……

The time soon came to noon.

The first group of challengers arrived on time as expected.

After switching his Rotom phone to live streaming mode, Qingyu quickly began fulfilling his duties as a gym leader—

Give the students a good lesson!
Because the tactics for this week's assessment were announced in advance, the first challenger came prepared.

"The battle rules are 2v2, with the challenger going first, and the Gym Leader cannot change their Pokémon."

"By the way, since the gym assessment this week is for the Sunny Team, the weather for the Sunny Gym will be set to sunny this week. Is that alright?"

"I have no opinion."

The short trainer opposite nodded, thinking to himself—

Just as the tactics were explained in yesterday's live stream, I really made the right decision to come here!

As a newcomer who excels at Water-type Pokémon, every one of his Pokémon can cast Rain, easily covering up sunny days.

Without the weather advantage, Solar Beam simply couldn't be used, let alone against those Fire-type Pokémon, who were completely countered by their own side.

Break through the Sunshine Dojo, today!
With this in mind, today's first "lucky one" began his challenge.

"Carnival Dance Duck, use Rain Dance!"

Full of confidence, the opponent immediately made a call to action at the start of the match.

however……

As he spoke, he noticed that Teacher Yu across from him suddenly smiled, and he inexplicably felt a little flustered.

Teacher Mingyu hadn't done anything yet, just quietly waiting for his Carnival Dance Duck to use Rain Dance, and he was already feeling an invisible pressure...

It seems like I just made a wrong decision.

And the facts were just as he had guessed—

Soon, the Carnival Waves Duck finished charging up and injected water-attribute energy into the sky, attempting to form dark clouds to temporarily block out the sun and create localized rainfall.

However, this high-purity water-attribute energy dissipated immediately after taking off into the sky, and nothing happened.

Seeing that his opponent was completely dumbfounded, Qingyu smiled and reminded him:

"This challenger, I've already warned you beforehand. This week's gym battle will be set for Sunny Day, so I can understand your understanding of the Sunny Day strategy."

"If you want to use other weather tactics, you can try it again next week."

Although the underlying principle is unknown, this thing produced by the system seems to possess some kind of power of rules; as long as the weather is successfully changed, it will affect the entire day.

Other weather-related moves and abilities are almost impossible to use under this intense sunlight.

The opponent was immediately filled with despair.

He excels at water-type attacks, making him a perfect counter to Teacher Yu's Sunny Day Team...

However, in sunny weather, the power of water-type moves is reduced by half, so there is absolutely no type advantage!
Ultimately, unsurprisingly, it was a lightning-fast loss.

After witnessing their opponent go from being full of confidence to being utterly humiliated, the audience couldn't help but start making sarcastic comments.

[Teacher Yu, is it legal for your dojo to lock the weather like this...?]

While some special rules are normal in gym battles, how exactly is Sunny Day locked in? Is there a Pokémon outside constantly using Sunny Day?

[Teacher Yu is still too much of a supermodel!]

The challengers who were originally in line exchanged glances after watching the battle, and then turned and left.

Teacher Yu is so scary! She anticipated their predictions and knew that she would use the Rain Team to counter their attempts to skip class...

My stomach suddenly hurts a bit, so I'll try the Sunshine Dojo next week!
As most of the challengers quietly left, by the time Qingyu realized it, only one student remained in front of him.

And this one actually looked somewhat familiar to Qingyu…

(A familiar challenger~)
