I'm popularizing ecology in the Pokémon world.

Chapter 124 You won't even call me Little Blackie

The dojo examiner activated the weather, while Chen Mu activated the arena accordingly!

This scene caused quite a stir on the sidelines.

The skill required to master the field is very difficult, and it is relatively rare to see it in professional-level assessment battles.

At this moment, the minor internet celebrity was still muttering to herself in self-deception, trying to comfort herself, "Maybe it's just a bluff? Maybe this venue is all show and no substance, just a bluff!"

When Golduck charged forward with a stylish "Z" shaped maneuver, only to be blasted away by Gardevoir's Ring Shock Wave, the little internet celebrity finally fell silent.

He's become an internet celebrity, which shows he has some good judgment.

He knew very well what this ring-shaped shockwave represented!

At that moment, an audience member in the front row asked a question in confusion.

"Strange? What move did Gardevoir just use? It was a Psychic-type move like 'Psychic' or 'Psychic Shock,' and I remember the textbooks saying they were single-target, linear projectile moves?"

The online celebrity sighed and spoke helplessly.

Before coming here, he never imagined that one day he would become the one explaining things to Chen Mu, making him, a hater, seem like a fan.

"That's because this Gardevoir has learned to control the way it releases its skills."

The textbook demonstrates "mental power" as an air cannon fired in a straight line forward.

This isn't wrong; most Psychic-type Pokémon do indeed use "Psychic" in this way.

But as a minor internet celebrity, he has seen a bit more of the bigger picture. Even if his own Pokémon can't do it, he at least understands one thing: in the eyes of true masters, Pokémon moves are never bound by so many rules and regulations!

Just like what Yishu taught Chen Mu these past few days—superpowers should be free!

The gym leader anticipated that Gardevoir would use "Psychic," but his response was to have Golduck use its increased speed due to the rain to try and dodge the move.

The shockwave from a straight-line projectile could actually be deflected by a fancy duck-like zigzag movement.

Unfortunately, Chen Mu's Gardevoir unleashed a ring-shaped burst of psychic energy!

"Huh?"

Golduck, with its carefree nature, only had time to let out a bewildered quack before it was unsurprisingly sent flying!

The mental field can amplify all superpower attributes and skills in every way!

This attack sent Golduck flying halfway across the arena, nearly crashing off the edge.

The audience member in the front row who had just asked the question exclaimed in amazement: "Wow! One hit sent a professional-level examiner's Pokémon flying that far! And without any type advantage! No wonder he's my idol!"

The young internet celebrity sitting behind this person twitched her cheek.

The camera and microphone on his chest were still on.

He recorded this part in the live stream; anyone who didn't know better would think he came here specifically to promote Chen Mu!

Damn it! I came here to expose the fraud! I came here to reveal the truth and expose the official's malicious deification!

At this moment, Chen Mu gave the order again: "Gardedoll, use Magical Fire!"

The little girl in the front row immediately turned around, her eyes sparkling, and asked the internet celebrity again, "So why use a Fire-type move in the rain? And against a Water-type Psyduck?"

The online celebrity sneered, "Hmph, so clever of you!"

After making a sarcastic remark, he looked at the girl in the front row with a curious gaze, and his professional habit as a broadcaster still compelled him to answer.

"Magic Flame, since its name contains magic, is naturally different from ordinary flames and has unique functions. Now Chen Mu is using the function of Magic Flame: after hitting, it will lower the opponent's special attack by one level, thereby offsetting the bonus that rain brings to Water-type Pokémon."

As the online celebrity said, Gardevoir moved forward while unleashing a barrage of flames.

Although Magic Flame is a fire-based move, its name suggests that it is inextricably linked to magic. Therefore, it can burn brilliantly even under the rain, like a blooming balsam flower.

Golduck tried its best to use its speed advantage to dodge, and even used the "Water Gun" skill to extinguish several flowers, but in the blink of an eye it was still accidentally stained by a gorgeous flame, and immediately showed a painful expression.

Immediately, Chen Mu gave a forceful order: "Attack with all your might! Don't be afraid to exchange blows!"

Even at the same time, the gym examiner very boldly ordered Golduck to use its powerful move "Water Cannon"!

Gardevoir, undeterred, opened its arms, gathered its psychic power, and unleashed its impact!

Use "strong mental focus" to fight against the "water cannons" in the rain!

The young girl in the front row exclaimed again, "Is the professional assessment going straight to 'water cannons'? Is this skill level too high?"

The internet celebrity sneered again.

As a result of that sneer, he missed the opportunity to explain that "this is not excessive."

By the time he opened his mouth again, the result on the field was already out: Gardevoir was not at a disadvantage in the battle!

The concentrated psychic energy almost cut off Golduck's water cannon in mid-air. Not only did it deflect the opponent's attack by using a counterattack, but it also pushed back with undiminished force, knocking Golduck back again.

The internet celebrity's face stiffened again, and the corner of her mouth twitched repeatedly as if she had a spasm.

As he expected, the front row immediately erupted in cheers of great surprise: "Wow! That's amazing! They won!"

The little girl turned her head and was met with the stiff expression of the internet celebrity.

"Hmph, nothing special."

"Hehe, you're actually just shy about cheering, aren't you? You're quite aloof."

Because of her sneer, she missed the best opportunity to explain, and now whatever this little internet celebrity says sounds like she's just being stubborn.

What?! What do you mean by "sorry to cheer"?! I'm clearly here to expose this person's fraud!

I'm a hater! Don't you know what a hater is?! Show me some respect!

The little internet celebrity's heart was screaming.

Unfortunately, the situation was very favorable for Chen Mu at this time, and even if someone wanted to criticize him, the small internet celebrity couldn't find an angle to attack him.

Some outdoor streamers are quite discerning; these small-time internet celebrities can't just resort to forced criticism when they have no material to back up their claims.

The gym examiner used another rotation opportunity, put away Golduck, and put away Poliwag back in.

The special attack reduction effect caused by magical fire can be restored by leaving combat.

In competitive battles, using Poké Balls to retrieve items is the fastest and most reliable way to disengage from combat.

The dojo examiner immediately ordered, "Use the Song of Destruction!"

Perish Song: A very special move that puts any Pokémon that hears the song into a countdown to extinction. If the Pokémon cannot break out of battle during this time, it will be severely damaged the moment the countdown ends!

It is a move with certain rules.

The girl in the front row started to complain again, "Why are the skills the examiners used today so advanced?"

The internet celebrity sitting in the back row let out her usual cold snort.

This time he learned his lesson, and after snorting, he quickly spoke.

"This isn't beyond the scope of the exam; it's just forcing the examinee to change their Pokémon. The extinction countdown can be quickly cleared by disengaging from combat."

As expected, Chen Mu made a very rational move on the field, taking back Gardevoir and replacing it with Ibrahimovic.

At that moment, the little girl in the front row suddenly perked up again.

"Oh, I get it! Does this mean Chen Mu's Gardevoir has passed the test? So the examiner is forcing him to send out a second Pokémon to be tested!"

He beat a Pokémon so easily! No wonder he's my idol!

The online celebrity instinctively exclaimed, "Huh?"

His face showed disgust, as if he were talking about steamed goose heart with vermicelli.

But just as he was about to retort, his mind suddenly went blank.

Upon further reflection, given the current situation, it's possible that what this little fan said is actually true!

Gardevoir has demonstrated Psychic Terrain, Psychic (which allows for customizable casting), a rich pool of non-STAB moves including Magical Flame, and a powerful Special Attack stat that can suppress a professional Golduck.

Even if he wanted to criticize, his basic observation skills and combat etiquette as a streamer could only tell him helplessly: Gardevoir had indeed just demonstrated strength sufficient to pass the test!

That's definitely a super-powered Pokémon with professional-level combat strength! There's no doubt about that!

Therefore, at this moment, the internet celebrity inevitably experienced a brief pause.

There is a serious discrepancy between the original purpose of pursuing traffic and the conclusions drawn from subconscious analysis.

This caused his mind to go blank for a moment.

In that brief moment, the little girl in the front row let out a quiet giggle.

"You're being shy again, that's so dishonest~"

Oh my god! The little internet celebrity's inner voice is about to explode and breathe fire!

I'm embarrassed for no reason! What do you mean I'm not frank? What frankness do I have to offer?!

This is an insult to my stance! You have absolutely no respect for my traffic! You still won't call me a hater!

Unfortunately, the current situation leaves small online celebrities with no angle to approach the issue.

On the field, even after evolving into Vaporeon, Eevee can still fight on par with Poliwag, a pro-level gym leader!

They even gradually began to gain the upper hand!

Poliwag tried several times to use "Tidal Whirl" to control Eevee, but Eevee's "Water Pulse" easily shook it off!

Poliwag then alternated between using "Water Gun" and "Bubble Beam," but Chen Mu's command remained calm, and timely instructions allowed Eevee to steadily dodge the "Bubble Beam" attacks that could have slowed it down.

As for the low-powered "water gun", Little Eevee can easily withstand it and then take the opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack!

In the blink of an eye, the Mosquito Coil Frog King was about to be worn out.

The little girl in the front row hummed excitedly again.

"Hmph~ As expected of my idol, why isn't the examiner using their ultimate move now?"

The online celebrity immediately defended the examiner, hoping to take the opportunity to shatter the illusion created by her fans.

"The examiner was being meticulous; he was preventing Ibrahimovic from 'imitating' his skills."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the gym examiner inexplicably abandoned his caution and ordered, "Potato King, use Water Cannon!"

As a result, he was immediately caught by Chen Mu.

"Little Ibu, do it!"

In the rain, two powerful water-type moves with a combined power of 110 collide!

Despite Poliwag's advantage of going first, the initial collision point of the water jet is much closer to Eevee's side.

But soon after, the point of impact between the two water jets slowly but resolutely advanced toward the Mosquito Coil Frog King!

One second, two seconds—

Three seconds—

"boom!"

A loud bang!

Eevee's Water Gun completely overwhelmed Poliwag's Water Gun! A glorious victory of the bootleg over the legitimate one!

Poliwag was directly knocked out of the arena by the powerful impact, becoming the first Pokémon to be eliminated!

The gym examiner wasn't sad at all; instead, he happily retrieved the Poliwrath from the Poliwag and sent Golduck out again.

Then, Chen Mu, who was right in front of them, continued to order: "Do it again!"

Before Golduck could make a move, Eevee immediately followed up with another "Imitation"!

At this point, the "imitation" is still just mimicking a water cannon!

Although Ibrahimovic herself doesn't know how to use this move yet, she has already unleashed two water cannons in this match!

Golduck had barely entered the field and hadn't even gotten its speed up when it was immediately knocked back up and took a solid hit from a STAB move boosted by rain!

At this point, the internet celebrity sighed silently, feeling that the assessment was completely unwatchable.

There are absolutely no flaws, passing the test is a sure thing!

At this moment, the little girl in the front row turned around again and delivered a psychological blow to him.

"Your prediction was so accurate! You must be a fan of Teacher Chen too, right?"

The young internet celebrity leaned back in his chair, silently gazing at the sky.

At this moment, he would rather be called a jinx than hear the phrase "Your prediction was so accurate."

Damn! What am I even here for today? He asked himself.

After Eevee firmly suppressed Golduck, Chen Mu also let Eevee demonstrate its unique fighting style.

"Switch to Sylveon form, then finish the match with a high-pitched scream!"

Little Eevee let out a happy "bue-bue-bue" sound, and immediately a flash of white light appeared, transforming it into a beautiful Sylveon form.

"~"

With a bright high note, and thanks to the fairy skin, Golduck was easily defeated!

Battle over!

If you say you're ending the game, then you end it!

The internet celebrity in the audience was seething with hatred – how despicable, he's really pulled off another stunt!

By now, he has realized that Chen Mu's two Pokémon, as well as his own trainer's command skills, have firmly surpassed the professional level.

Unlike other examiners who rack their brains just to satisfy the examiners and be grateful for a passing grade, Chen Mu can even defeat both of the examiners' professional-level Pokémon with ease and pass the test with a perfect victory!

Unable to find any fault with him, the minor internet celebrity could only try to salvage his image by saying, "Hmph! This Teacher Chen Mu's skills have clearly already surpassed the professional level threshold. He could have come for the assessment much earlier, but he deliberately dragged it out until now. He's got too many schemes!"

He had too many thoughts on his mind—this was the only angle he could find to approach the issue at the moment.

But a young female fan in the front row immediately pointed out, "But Teacher Chen has been busy with other things. Didn't the official announcement just say that Teacher Chen participated in repelling the plasma team terrorists in the city?"

......

Now that things have come to this, the young internet celebrity is finding it difficult to speak out, to expose the truth, to debunk the official deification, and to refute the claims of fabricated achievements in the official report.
