You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 3 Why is your Cocoa Dora only level 1?
Is the streamer really the owner of a museum in the Parthian region?

[Azure Feather... Could it be Uncle Aoki?!]

Why don't streamers show their faces? Are they afraid of looking ugly and disappointing their viewers?

The first batch of viewers in the live stream numbered only a handful, all of whom came because of the title, and the questions they asked were basically what Qingyu had expected.

"I am not Aoki, but the current gym leader of Sunny Dojo in Spoontown."

Qingyu replied with amusement, and couldn't help but admire the netizens' excellent ability to make connections.

That's Aoki, the Padiya workaholic who juggles multiple jobs, working three jobs and 48 hours a day.

How could I possibly have time to do a live stream?

"As for why they don't show their faces, the answer is simple."

"Because I didn't prepare a camera, and I was too lazy to go out and buy one."

Even when you're in the wrong, you still act tough.jpg
Goodness, they're not even acting.

[The streamer is so genuine, I've unfollowed her, but don't let her down!]

Perhaps because he spoke very honestly, he left a fairly good first impression on the audience, so some comments quickly started making memes.

Qingyu nodded silently.

If nothing unexpected happens, these people will be his first batch of fans.

We need to find a way to keep them here.

【Sunshine Gym? We have a gym in Padiya?】

[Ouch—, my head is so itchy, I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before.]

[I remember now! It's that dojo that hasn't been open for six months!]

[I work in the neighboring town of Pingchai. Since all the other gyms are named after towns, yours is the only exception, which is why I vaguely remember it!]

At this moment, a viewer named "Hardworking Joey" sent several comments in a row.

"That's right, the dojo is temporarily closed because of some things that happened."

Qingyu nodded, surprised that someone actually still remembered Sunny Gym.

And this audience member seems to be Joey from Flatbutter?
Although he was a little curious, he didn't dwell on it out of politeness and respect for privacy.

"Now that we have viewers in the live stream, everyone, let's play Pokémon Champion today!"

Qingyu spoke up at the right moment, steer the conversation back on track.

He had already started the game as he was speaking.

It's a new account, so the rank is still at the beginner level.

The game has five major levels: Beginner, Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, and Master Ball.

It aligns with the competition tiers in this world.

The title of the live stream, "Starting from Zero to Master Ball," is taken from the highest rank in the game.

His reminder quickly caught on to the comments section.

[Hey classmate, is the streamer a teacher?]

[Is the streamer really confident he can reach Master League level?]

"How could that be? That's a rank only achieved by players ranked in the top 100. He's just some unknown gym owner; I think he's just trying to attract attention!"

[Indeed, reaching Master level is a bit of an exaggeration, but I'm slightly more inclined to believe in Advanced level.]

Looks like another prodigy who popped up out of nowhere. He'll behave himself after a few ranked matches!

What are you going to hit?

Most of the comments section clearly began to question the situation.

Qingyu expressed her understanding but offered no explanation.

If a new account suddenly pops up claiming it's aiming for the world's top 100, most people probably wouldn't believe it.

So he decided to get straight to the point and let the audience understand his abilities first.

Open the team editor.

Faced with the bottomless Pokémon pool, Qingyu couldn't help but scratch his head.

He had a hard time making decisions.

"Oh dear, how am I supposed to choose from so many Pokémon..."

"Never mind, let's just go with random!"

Sometimes knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing. He can roughly figure out how to use many Pokémon just by glancing at them.

This, however, made him somewhat hesitant.

In order to protect her few remaining brain cells, Qingyu decisively pressed the button to randomly generate a team.

[666, they've even used random Pokémon! If you can beat me, I'll just eat you!]

[I almost fell for your trick! I thought you were a real master from somewhere, but it turns out you were just pretending...] [Watching a newbie play the game is quite entertaining. I can already picture the streamer's heart breaking expression later, lol.]

Seeing his outrageous actions, most viewers instantly labeled him a "newbie".

After all, anyone who has played the game knows how massive its database is, covering the vast majority of Pokémon from the nine regions.

Even a Pokémon professor would have a hard time recognizing them all.

This is just the most basic understanding; playing against a randomly generated lineup will only be more difficult.

Do you really think Pokémon battles have no barriers to entry and can be started just like that?

Some viewers in the live chat are already looking forward to the scene where Qingyu gets slapped in the face.

Unless you're incredibly lucky and happen to have all the local Pokémon from Padia, let's see how you win.
Qingyu certainly didn't expect that his unintentional remark would actually help him leave a lot of comments.

After pressing the random button, the six empty slots in the lineup editor were quickly filled.

Sand Hippopotamus, Snow Swallower, Arrowhead Eagle, Cocoyora, Cottony, Gardevoir.

[Oh my god, isn't that my wife Gardevoir? Come home with me!]

[Hello, is this Officer Jenny? Yes, it's that dreamy old fox again. I suggest he be shot!]

Gardevoir is quite popular in this world, as evidenced by the comments on the screen.

Once the lineup was revealed, Qingyu felt that her luck was pretty good.

Most of them are Pokémon found in the Padina region, and there are also Talonflame and Gardevoir, two Pokémon in their final forms.

With the glory of the home bird and the support of the wife beast, this lineup is more than enough to climb the ranks.

[Does the streamer recognize that white Pokémon? It's incredibly strong, I'm not kidding!]

But after noticing this comment scrolling by, a bold idea instantly popped into his mind.

There is indeed a well-known tactic regarding Coco Dora.

Moreover, this lineup happens to have teammates who can synergize well, so it would be a shame not to play a game with it and make the most of the random lineup.
"This student has a good understanding. CocoDora is indeed very powerful. Let's use it as our main weapon today!"

Qingyu couldn't wait to put Cocodora in the center position, and after quickly adjusting the Pokémon's item bar, she started matchmaking immediately.

Because he was so skilled, he performed a series of actions that even the audience couldn't see clearly.

[He's not a buddy, do you really believe him?]

The anchor is an honest person, but there are bad people among the crowd!

Wait a minute... something feels off about the streamer's straightforwardness. Is he just teasing the audience?

[Impossible! Unless the streamer is a top-tier player like Steven, the Hoenn champion, there's absolutely no way they could win with just Cocoyada!]

Most of the comments were pessimistic, but Qingyu hummed a little tune and ignored them.

No rush, let the bullets fly a little longer~
Since the account had never played a single ranked match, the matchmaking speed was surprisingly fast.

They quickly identified their opponent.

The default ranking system in Pokémon Champions is 6v6.

Although official competitions in the past primarily used doubles as the main rule, the 6v6 all-player battle rule is indeed the mainstream in both games and anime.

As for the combat method, it relies on real-time voice commands, and there is no restriction on the four moves.

Apart from that, the overall gameplay is pretty much the same as the previous game.

"Gyarados, Charizard, Aerodactyl, Ampharos, Iron Claw Lobster, Tropius..."

After noticing the opponent's lineup, Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

"Good heavens, so many Pokémon with 'dragon' in their names, and not a single one of them is a real dragon!"

Are you cosplaying as a dodo bird?

[This is ridiculous! Our Kanto Dragon-type Elite Four member only uses Flying-type Pokémon!]

[The King of Flying-Type Epics (correction)!]

[You've smeared the dodo again! Warning! Next time, you'll get a taste of the Fat Ornamental Punch!]

It seems that jokes about Kanto Tenno Awatari are also widely circulated on the internet in this world.

There was a classic meme from a previous life: Guess which Pokémon in it is a Dragon-type?
Dodo: I can't tell, I can't tell!

Qingyu couldn't help but think of this and burst out laughing.

But as the streamer who respects Mr. Adu the most on the entire internet, he certainly wouldn't make fun of him casually.

Unless you really can't help it.

Of course, his smile wasn't because of the respected Mr. A-du; he was just thinking about something happy.

Just as the live stream was filled with laughter and cheers because of the opponent's outrageous lineup, a comment caught Qingyu's attention.

[Did the streamer adjust the level? Why is your Cocoa Dora only level 1?!]

The new book is here!
The author already has a completed Pokémon work, so their integrity is guaranteed.
I'll probably sign the contract tomorrow. During the new book period, I'll update twice a day, Monday and Tuesday. Please, dear readers, keep reading!
