Chapter 53 One-Punch Man: Mushroom!

That evening, it was time for Qingyu to start her live stream.

Before turning on the live streaming app, he also checked how to obtain Taijing fragments.

To help Eevee adapt to other types of crystal energy as soon as possible, a large number of corresponding crystal fragments are needed.

The main source of this item is the Prism Gem. Apart from digging deep into Area Zero, only a few wild Pokémon that accidentally wander into Area Zero will possess it.

However, this farming method, which is similar to that in the game, is far too inefficient, and Qingyu certainly doesn't have the time to do it.

So, are there any more convenient and less complicated ways to obtain them?

Some brothers, yes.

You can place your order directly at the Messenger Bird Shop, saving you a lot of time grinding in the Crystal Pit.

Pokémon games require players to spend a lot of time online, but in the real world, if you're willing to spend money, you can get a lot of things in one go...

Money really can buy anything.jpg
After placing an order for a batch of steel-attribute crystal fragments and balloon props at lightning speed, Qingyu opened the familiar live streaming software.

The title of this live stream is:
Shocking! The Sunny Gym's entrance exam featured this Pokémon!

As the live stream began, countless eager fans clicked in to enjoy tonight's dinner, "Cyber ​​Pickled Mustard Tuber".

[Shocking! Teacher Yu actually leaked the dojo's secrets; the enemy is at the Burnt Tower!]

[Upstairs, come report to the Messenger Bird Daily tomorrow! We need someone like you!]

[I felt like something was missing from my dinner tonight, turns out the streamer hadn't started broadcasting yet!]

"Hey guys, class is starting again!"

Qingyu has been doing live streams several times, and he thinks the cheerful and relaxed style of the chat is quite good.

[One person wrote a petition in blood for the streamer to reveal his face; with such a nice voice, he must be a handsome guy, right?]

[Sure, you still won't turn on your camera? Are you that insecure? The chat room is full of guys, what are you afraid of?!]

[Are you there? Let me see!]

"Hmph, if you want to see what the streamer looks like—come and challenge the gym, you bunch of bastards!"

"If we don't get any challengers, our Sunny Gym will go out of business!"

Qingyu started with a zero-frame attack, unleashing a roar similar to that of a certain number one Pokémon in the universe, which had a remarkable effect on the audience's eardrums.

Why are you yelling so loudly! I'm going to solo kill that streamer offline tomorrow!

Wow, if they're playing this dirty online, I can't even imagine what tactics they'll use to torment their viewers offline!

[Joey, who works hard: I've already met the streamer in person, and he's definitely a sunny and cheerful handsome guy!]

Wow, bro, you smell amazing...

[Holy crap, there's a gay guy here! Guys, grab your weapons!]

"Alright, alright, I'm not messing around with you guys anymore."

Seeing the comments getting increasingly outrageous, Qingyu smiled and steered the conversation back on track.

"Just like the title suggests, the Pokémon I'm going to demonstrate today is the gym exam question for next week."

"If you guys want to see just how handsome the streamer is, or simply want to improve your skills, you're welcome to challenge the Sunny Gym in Little Key Town!"

As he spoke, Qingyu opened the game and dragged a Pokémon standing on two legs with a mushroom on its head into the team editor.

"The test questions have already been leaked to you in advance. Surely no one will be too scared to challenge the gym, right?"

【Flammulina? You think you can stump me with this Pokémon?】

It is said that wherever there is a forest, there will be groups of mushrooms, and this Pokémon can be found in almost every region...

[Indeed, quite a few have been discovered in Kanto in recent years!]

Breloom, evolved from Mushroom, has a combination of Grass and Fighting attributes.

As the comments on the screen say, this Pokémon species is widely distributed, and its presence can be found in every region.

In the grasslands and forests of the western Padiya region, mushrooms are abundant.

But precisely because of this, it's incredibly easy to rent a Breath of Fire that meets Aoba's requirements.

"Puffing-shrooms are indeed very common, but that doesn't mean they're weak!" "Then let me ask you, what are the characteristics of Puffing-shrooms?"

While the match was being made, Qingyu skillfully used a trick she had learned from a certain teacher to deceive the barrage of comments.

[What, you think I don't have a Pokédex? Spores, poison, and technical prowess!]

[The power of science is truly amazing.jpg]

[Hiss...wait a minute? It even has some tech experts? That actually seems pretty good?]

After Qingyu asked this question, many people belatedly realized what was going on.

How weak can a Pokémon with such technical prowess be?

This is a noble and practical damage-boosting effect, especially for newcomers, it is a god-level feature that can directly improve combat power!
"The technical expert feature is indeed good, but that's not what we're going to use today."

Qingyu offered an explanation in just a few words.

"Actually, poison therapy is also a very good feature."

[Poison therapy paired with a deadly poison orb? Isn't this the signature move of the vegetable grower in the Sinnoh region?]

To be fair, although its stamina recovery effect is better than Leftovers, given Breloom's durability, it's hard to say it can play any crucial role...

Indeed, any Breathaur that doesn't deal damage is a crooked approach!

【It's useless. If I use the Arrowhawk, you'll just explode, won't you?】

Upon noticing the comments on the screen, Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

Cai Zhong is the Grass-type Gym Leader of Sinnoh. In addition to her ace Roserade, she often uses Breloom and Torterra as her starting lineup.

So it's not surprising that you would think of this.

After all, the elite trainers in this world are quite capable, and such simple tricks are no challenge for them.

but……

His tactics are not that simple!
"Who says you can't deal damage with poison healing? Today I'll show you the One-Punch Man Mushroom with its off-the-charts damage output!"

As they spoke, the matching pointer slowly came to a stop.

According to the pattern summarized by Qingyu, he usually needs to win two or three matches before he starts to increase the intensity and matches with trainers of roughly the level of Gym Leader.

However, this time the matching mechanism did not follow the established pattern.

The opponent's trainer image and ID appear together.

She is a sporty girl wearing a swimsuit, revealing a large expanse of healthy, tanned skin, with a few drops of water dripping from the roots of her smooth, long hair.

Trainer ID: Lulina.

"Lurina..."

Qingyu's expression was strange.

This black pearl lady from Galar is so distinctive, it's hard not to recognize her, isn't it?
Is it because I'm also a gym owner? Why does it feel like the probability of being matched with other players is so high after reaching the advanced ball rank...?

[That's Lurina from the Galar Water Boat Arena across from us! She's so cute!]

[The opposing team's Pokémon setup is all Water-type. Compared to other single-type Gym Leaders, Yu-sensei really doesn't seem like a Gym Leader at all www]

[I'm also quite curious, what attribute does the streamer excel at? Is he really proficient in all attributes?]

"I wouldn't call myself an expert; I just know a little bit about each attribute."

As Qingyu spoke, she observed the opponent's lineup.

Pelipper, Swamp King, Golem, Superbad, Brutus, and Slug.

A very traditional rainy day team, with a few dirty guys hiding in the team.

However, the only one that poses a threat to the Breloom, the Big-headed Gull, is also slightly slower.

The problem is not big.

After a few seconds of brief analysis, Qingyu quickly flashed a confident smile.

"I'll kill indiscriminately!"
