You are not allowed to be a Pokémon Trainer!

Chapter 159 The Strange Tree: Fortune changes every thirty years, never underestimate a young girl's potential!
Xia Chi didn't expect that even without the mask, E Guipeng's 30% form was still somewhat forceful.

But it was just a fleeting moment.
Is the Babu Tubo of Qishu too weak?
It's a proper Gym Leader level Pokémon, after all, and it's not much weaker than Lin Qunzhi's Pokémon.

There's only one truth: Ponpo's values ​​were way too high.

Xia Chi rubbed his forehead and said, "Let's stick to 10% strength, Ponpo."

“Boni.”

Egui Peng, who had just picked up the thorny vine, nodded sheepishly.

She didn't really care. This training battle was Xia Chi's request; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to fight such a weak elf.

I don't like fighting at all!
With that, Erguipeng, carrying a thorny vine club, charged toward Babu Tubo, who had just gotten up and was still a little dizzy.

Qi Shu frowned and shouted, "Babu, use the Freeze Fist!"

Although it was still a flash of lightning, both its speed and power were reduced by two-thirds compared to the first strike.

It's clear that Ponpo has very precise control over her body.

After searching the entire Pacific Ocean, Babu Tupo finally detected the trajectory of the Evil Phantom's attack.

Ice energy surged from his palm, and then he threw a straight punch diagonally forward!
The monster perfectly captures the fear that Grass-type Pokémon of this level have of Ice-type moves, retreating repeatedly during its collision with Babubo.

Looking behind him, Xia Chi felt that Ponpo could compete with Pikachu for an Oscar.

Seeing that both Erguipeng and Babutubo had adapted to the rhythm of the battle.

Xia Chi said, "Then, the training battle officially begins! Evil spirits, playful banter!"

------

Three minutes later.

Having exhausted all his strength and methods, Babu Tubo lay peacefully on the battlefield, but ultimately fell into a "fainting" state, unable to fight.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ponpo."

Xia Chi walked onto the battlefield and patted Ponpo's little head, but the latter shook his head.

What's so hard about it? I haven't even broken a sweat!

Qi Shu didn't seem too frustrated, after all, his opponent was Ergui Peng, who, although he suppressed most of his power, was still a legendary spirit.

In coaching, the important thing is not winning or losing, but the process.

"Let's go to the medical room and talk about the battle we just fought."

Although Ponpo could easily play a hundred more matches like this, Xia Chi chose not to continue.

Reviewing the old helps one understand the new; too much information at once is too much for the tree to absorb.

"Evil Pine isn't a Ghost-type Pokémon, so why not take the free Fake Out at the start?"

"After the lightning flash, Babu Groundhog could have used [Quick Counter] to make him flinch, so why did he use [Freeze Fist]? Is dealing a little more damage really worth the brief control?"

"Ponpo relied on Ground-type [Stomp] for damage in the mid-game. Even though it was weak to it, why didn't it use [Electric Double Strike] to cancel out its Electric-type attributes?"

"."

Qi Shu, who felt he had played quite well, was almost at red-hot level after hearing Xia Chi's detailed and specific critiques.

Fortunately, she wasn't the type to be overly concerned with saving face, and she didn't throw up her hands and say something irrelevant like, "Babu keeps telling me to give orders, how am I supposed to give orders?"

Instead, he listened attentively and asked Xia Chi for advice on what areas could be improved.

After treating Babu Tubo, the two returned to the battlefield.

The next mentoring match is between Evil Spirit and Nightmare.

Xia Chi originally wanted to demonstrate how to use Mismagius by swapping Pokémon, just like in the game.

Unfortunately, Ponpo absolutely refused to let Kiju take command, so there was no other way but to continue playing normally.

Two hours before bedtime is just enough time for Ponpo to train, treat, and explain each of the six spirits of the Strange Tree, going through the entire process.

After a lot of fuss, the first day of intensive training finally came to an end around 10 p.m. Xia Chi and Qi Shu practically dragged their exhausted bodies back to their rooms to shower and go to sleep.

Before going to bed, Tilley and Dream Fairy, as usual, asked Xia Chi for permission to go to Niangguang City to experience the local nightlife.

Xia Chi, who had spent most of the day helping Qi Shu with special training, felt guilty for not spending enough time with them and naturally agreed.

Victini's Pokémon egg was also brought over and is now being looked after by Ponpo, who is still full of energy after playing for two hours.

Although it's called taking care of things, there's really not much to do.

It's more like two legendary spirits communicating through an eggshell.

My first day in Niango City wasn't as relaxing as I'd imagined, but it was definitely more interesting than just a simple vacation.

Exhausted from a long day, Master Xia lay down on the unfamiliar yet soft bed and quickly fell asleep.

------

Sunday, August 2th.

Something happened that broke the hearts of many who wanted to challenge the Brewmaster Gym and the fans of [Kiki's Tales] who had been waiting patiently in the live stream.

Qishu released an announcement titled "Suspension of Dojo and Live Streaming Activities for Half a Month".

However, the reason is perfectly legitimate and reasonable: to prepare well for the World Electric Attribute Experts Tournament, which will be held in a week and will last for a week.

In response, many "tree protectors" have issued sharp comments.

[I suggest that Teacher Qishu not make such confident statements. A two-week vacation is a bit long; eight days would be enough!]

Who's getting eliminated in the first round? Who's getting eliminated in the first round? That's called advancing to the quarterfinals!

[Speaking of which, the number of slots for this year's competition has increased, so it should be the top ten, right?]

[Please stop with the baseless criticism. Kiju-sama is ranked sixth out of ten in total points; he doesn't need to fight in the qualifying rounds for two main draw spots, okay?]

Those four electric-attribute experts who could be suppressed by Master Qishu are truly amazing!

[It seems to be those regions that don't have official Electric-type Gyms, but they just don't have the title of Gym Leader, which doesn't mean they're not strong enough to be considered Gym Leaders.]

The banner congratulating Teacher Qishu on reaching the top eight in the Electric Attribute Expert Competition has been ordered and will be delivered in a few days!

Everyone doubted you, and you just didn't live up to their expectations.

[@Qishuqishu, Teacher Qishu, please don't read this, it's a negative review!]

【.】

"I'm so angry! What do they mean by this?!"

While scrolling through the comments section on his phone, Qi Shu became completely red-hot.

Xia Chi dared not speak.

He felt that before he met Qishu, Qishu's fan base was quite normal.

Although there are some people who enjoy abstract entertainment, they are ultimately a minority and their voices are not loud.

After getting to know herself, perhaps because the audiences on both sides merged too closely, her fans also picked up the bad habit of being abstract.

The comment section has basically been overrun by this "anti-fan" sentiment.

Fearing it might affect Qi Shu's mentality, Xia Chi thought for a moment and still encouraged him, "Don't worry, the winner is justice. When you win the championship, the comments section will only be filled with praise."

Xia Chiguan's motivational quotes, given his recent reversal of public opinion, are highly authoritative.

Qi Shu, still feeling somewhat depressed, put aside his negative emotions and nodded firmly.

"Alright, let's continue training!"

With the mindset of "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a poor girl!", Qi Shu once again devoted himself to training with full concentration.
