Chapter 306 Teacher Yu, something's not right with your dojo apprentice... (1017 chapters owed for monthly votes)

Having come up with a path that might help Mewtwo, Qingyu quickly took action.

Far away in Saffron City, Kanto, Sabrina, who was meditating, vaguely sensed something and instinctively took out her phone.

He immediately noticed the message from Qingyu.

She was immediately confused, but then quickly realized what was going on.

It's probably related to the Pokémon named "Mewtwo".

According to Mr. Adu, Mewtwo and Mew both left with Qingyu in the end, probably going back to Padia with him.

As expected of Teacher Yu, she actually managed to gain the legendary approval of the Dream...

Recalling Qingyu's calm demeanor at the Viridian Dojo, Sabrina's face quickly showed a hint of admiration.

As expected, only the most outstanding trainers are qualified to be favored by legendary Pokémon.

However, why would Teacher Yu ask me about my experience using superpowers?
This special ability that she was born with was something that Natsume couldn't explain how to use for a while.

Just as living beings can see the world as soon as they open their eyes, the use of superpowers can also be regarded as an instinct, which is why some superpowered individuals with naturally strong telekinesis are prone to going berserk.

The ability to use superpowers at will is like the ability of human eyes to distinguish different colors of light—it's something we're born with...

Those who can learn don't need to be taught, and those who can't learn are pointless to teach.

While there are some cases where people learn these skills later in life, those individuals can only perform basic functions such as bending a spoon or moving objects with their minds.

Even if I teach her, it seems like Teacher Yu might not understand it very well.
After all, in Sabrina's memory, Qingyu should not have any superpowers, otherwise she would have been able to sense it when they met.

Therefore, instead of communicating with Qingyu, it's better to let Mewtwo understand your thoughts directly.

After thinking it through, Sabrina quickly used her telekinesis to control her phone, putting it into recording mode and suspending it in the air.

Soon, Qingyu received a reply from Nazi.

However, it wasn't text content, but rather a video recording that lasted several minutes.

Sabrina's unique understanding of superpowers is all concentrated in every movement in the video. Even with a thought, the table and chairs in front of her immediately shrink a bit, eventually turning into more cartoonish toy shapes.

"???"

Several question marks quickly appeared on Qingyu's head.

So the animation was actually a documentary? Sabrina really knows this trick!

Although it looked impressive, Aoba had absolutely no idea how Sabrina had done it.

Of course, it wasn't important to him either.

If I don't understand, Mewtwo definitely will.

After calling over Mewtwo, who had just finished washing up and looked much more energetic, Qingyu showed it the video that Sabrina had just sent.

At first, Mewtwo was a little puzzled, but after noticing the somewhat familiar human in front of the screen, it quickly understood Qingyu's idea.

"So that's how it is. There are actually monsters among humans who can control such terrifying mental power..."

Mewtwo couldn't help but let out a sigh.

During that great battle, its own circumstances did not allow it to observe the outside world, so it did not notice the terrifying superpowers that Sabrina used during the battle.

It's several times stronger than ordinary Pokémon, and might even be slightly stronger than myself now that I've reached a certain level...

And this terrifying reserve of superpowers actually appeared in a human?
Mewtwo fell silent as it watched the "human" on the screen casually and unfazed by the use of superpowers.

But can superpowers really be used like this?
Not only can it be used to boost Pokémon's power and enhance their strength in a short period of time, but it can also forcefully break through the evolution barrier of Pokémon with a massive amount of psychic power, and complete a short-term evolution under a sudden enlightenment.

In theory, the techniques for using this superpower are very similar to those for Mega Evolution.

So, maybe it can also be used to verify one's own conjecture?

With this in mind, Mewtwo focused its attention even more.

The techniques she demonstrated were not difficult to learn; they basically relied on sheer strength to fly bricks and use her powerful superpowers to forcefully break through obstacles.

And I am equally good at this.

Mewtwo quickly focused on learning Sabrina's psychic tricks, and Qingyu, seeing this, also quickly smiled.

Given Mewtwo's learning ability, it might be able to replicate it very soon.

Starting today, let's begin its practical training.

……

At noon, students began to appear in Little Key Town.

Now, every student at Orange Academy knows Teacher Yu. The live streams every weekend are basically a required course for Padia. Even Principal Mufei takes the lead in promoting Qingyu's tactics at the school.

Therefore, everyone basically expected that the new tactic this week would be the rain team.

Rainy days are fine, anyway, they are not alone now, but a whole team working hard!
Only after the new student Peony established the Tianxing Team did the students suddenly realize—

Was there really such a way to improve?

Compared to racking your brains to study Teacher Yu's live streams and videos on your own, only to remain confused, discussing with others is clearly a more cost-effective approach.

As a result, within just three weeks of the Tianxing Team's establishment, most of the students had already joined this authoritative organization.

The students at Orange Academy have never been so united.

And they have only one goal—

Everyone beat Teacher Yu and crushed this great demon king of Padia under their feet!
Students are always eager to challenge Teacher Yu and Sunshine Dojo.

After all, one of the purposes of Peony establishing the Tianxing Team was to serve as a support group for Teacher Yu and to find like-minded people in Orange Academy.

Black fans are also fans!
Even now, the Tianxing team has spontaneously formed multiple sub-teams, maximizing the students' potential.

The "Strategy Team" is responsible for studying Yu-sensei's videos and devising strategies for students to challenge gyms; the "Vanguard Team" is responsible for going to Sunny Gym every Monday to test their strategies in actual combat; and the "Logistics Team" is responsible for assisting students in raising Pokémon and providing high-nutrition diet plans and training programs.

After the strategy team's overnight analysis, the weaknesses of Qingyu's rain team were finally exposed.

The seemingly well-rounded rain team actually has a fatal flaw!
Once the protection of rain is lost, other Pokémon that have infiltrated the rain team can easily be wiped out by Fire-type Pokémon!
Therefore, the Sunny Day team that Teacher Yu guided last week is exactly the optimal solution for the Rainy Day team this week.

Especially the Nut Dumbbell, which is considered a wall of despair, has absolutely no ability to form a defensive synergy in the Sunny Day system, and can be easily broken through with a single fire-type move.

After figuring this out, the students couldn't help but exclaim:
"The tactics are all interconnected, and each week's tactics are linked to the previous teaching content. You really deserve to be called Teacher Yu!"

Thus, the first "vanguard team," mainly composed of Fire-type Pokémon, arrived at the Sunny City Gym to try to turn theory into reality.

Obviously, it's safer to challenge other tactics that have already been overcome, and it's also a better way to obtain badges from Qingyu.

But who are the Tianxing team?

They are a group of pure humans who have transcended low-level interests, whose minds are filled only with battles, and who want to dedicate their lives to the god of Pokémon battles!

Now that we have a new tactic, we should take it down as soon as possible!

Anyway, as long as you can pass the Sunshine Dojo's test, the difficulty of the other seven dojos will drop significantly, so it shouldn't be too difficult to complete the Champion's Road in the first half of the year.

Then... with that thought in mind, the students were all dumbfounded when they arrived at the Sunshine Dojo.

What?! The intelligence was fake?

Today's opponent isn't Teacher Yu at all?

"Oh, everyone's here."

Seeing the students arrive one after another, Qingyu, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly smiled.

"Congratulations! The Sunny Gym has recently welcomed a rather talented gym apprentice, who is also a new trainer. I hope you can learn something from each other's training."

As he introduced himself, Mewtwo, who was standing behind him, quickly stepped forward.

"Who is the first challenger?"

???

A pink Pokémon that looked somewhat humanoid and exuded an aura of oppression appeared before them, and Qingyu personally acknowledged its status as a gym apprentice, leaving the students stunned.

What's going on here...?

Teacher Yu thinks we students are too useless, and we still haven't passed the Sunny Gym's test, so he deliberately found a Pokémon to impersonate a trainer to provoke us.

And how come this Pokémon can talk like a human?!
Despite the students' puzzled looks, Qingyu maintained her smile and calmly spoke:
"Don't underestimate this kid. There's no rule that says Pokémon can't be trainers, right?"

“In the world of wild Pokémon, Oranguru, Slowking, and even Brimwyn all have good command abilities and can be regarded as trainers.”

"Furthermore, Mewtwo's strength should surprise you."

With Qingyu's words as a guarantee, the students gradually withdrew their skeptical gazes.

The idea of ​​a Pokémon becoming a trainer is quite novel...

However, Teacher Yu also said that it is just a newcomer, right?

Then there's nothing to be afraid of!
A student quickly straightened his chest and stood in front of Mewtwo.

"Hello, I'm here to challenge the Sunny Gym."

Mewtwo nodded and quickly arrived at one side of the battlefield.

Seeing this, the challenger quickly followed.

After Qingyu briefly explained the gym rules, the challenger sent out his Pokémon first.

"Go, Nine-Tails!"

A nine-tailed fox with fiery fur appeared on the field, and the weather quickly cleared up a bit.

"...The Nine-Tails?"

Mewtwo nodded slightly and quickly used its telekinesis to retrieve a Poké Ball from behind it.

"Then, this is the child I will send out."

As Mewtwo finished speaking, the Poké Ball popped open on its own with a quick "pop".

Wearing sunglasses and seemingly unlovable, Squirtle makes a dazzling appearance.

Whether it was the intense heat of the sunlight or the overwhelming presence of the Nine-Tails in front of him, Squirtle quickly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Squirtle???"

Not only the opponents, but even the other newcomers who were just watching were stunned.

So what Teacher Yu said was true. This really is a new "trainer" who just received his starter Pokémon?
Even with the elemental advantage/disadvantage relationship, it was completely offset by the clear weather, and the huge difference in combat power made the outcome of the battle seem like a foregone conclusion.

How can a starter Pokémon that hasn't evolved and has only average strength compete against a Ninetales that has been raised for a long time?

It seemed that only Qingyu maintained his mysterious smile throughout the entire venue.

Thinking about what would happen next, Qingyu, who had originally wanted to appear serious, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

On the other side of the battlefield, a flash of blue light appeared in Mewtwo's eyes, causing Nine-Tails, which is extremely sensitive to psychic abilities, to instinctively shrink back.

"I see. So its strength is roughly on par with Incineroar in the gym?"

After muttering something to itself, Mewtwo slowly raised its arm and pointed at the Squirtle in front of it before the battle began.

As it moved, a sudden gust of wind inexplicably rose up on the battlefield.

then……

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Squirtle's body suddenly flashed with a dazzling evolutionary glow and immediately soared into the sky.

Soon, a Blastoise, several times larger than the previous one and even more robust than the Nine-Tails on the other side, appeared on the field.

The students were stunned.

What... what's going on here?

It's one thing to evolve before the battle, but to evolve twice in one go?
Teacher Yu, something's not right with your dojo apprentice...

Noticing their complicated expressions, Qingyu's smile widened.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I forgot to tell you. Our new apprentice at the Sunny Gym knows a little bit about using psychic powers to boost his Pokémon."

"Therefore, the Pokémon he sends out to battle you will definitely be of similar strength."

"When Pokémon are all roughly equal in strength, what truly matters is the trainer's skill level!"

After Qingyu finished speaking, Mewtwo looked at him and held up four fingers.

It roughly means "only 40% of the effort was used".

Such an outrageous battle style is actually not unfamiliar to newcomers to Kanto.

Isn't this exactly the same routine that Master Naz uses?

This is true.

Even Qingyu didn't expect that Mewtwo would master the techniques for using these superpowers after watching the videos sent by Sabrina a few times.

With superpowers as a prerequisite, the dojo entrance exams will obviously become fairer in the future.

In the past, when I was in charge of the dojo assessments, the later stages were always easier because the routines had been analyzed to a large extent, and it all came down to raw skill.

However, Mewtwo is the complete opposite.

Mewtwo, who currently has no battle experience, is probably still a bit inexperienced; in terms of battles, he's a complete rookie.

But it has a strong comprehension ability, and I believe it won't be long before it gradually adapts to the intensity of the battles and makes good use of its existing knowledge.

Standing as the referee in the center of the battlefield, watching Mewtwo with an extremely serious expression and a face that clearly showed its desire to win, Qingyu felt even more satisfied.

Mewtwo, you must strive to become stronger and amaze all the newcomers!

You can't even beat the Pokémon commanded by a Pokémon? What are you newbies good for?!
