You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 338 Shocking! Teacher Yu actually made the child cry...

"Bonnie~"

The Poké Ball trigger clicked, and as a beam of red light shot towards the ground, a humanoid Pokémon appeared, sporting a fiery red stove mask on its head and pulling out a thick, long thorny vine from its back.

Appeared!
Finally, the rumored "ghost" from Beishang Township made its appearance, and Xinli, who had been watching from the sidelines, immediately became interested and focused her attention on it.

She had never been to Beishang Township herself, so she didn't know much about the rumors of "ghosts".

However, as Ci mentioned several times recently, Qingyu successfully captured a Pokémon named Urquid in Kitakami Township and commanded it to defeat four legendary Pokémon in one go, including the resurrected Buddy and the mastermind, Momots.

This not only solved the potential major problems in Beishang Township, but also corrected the erroneous history passed down by the residents of Beishang Township.

After the Sanbaoban were replaced with Qingyu and Eguipeng, it is said that the tourism industry in Beishang Township has reached a new high during this period.

The villagers, who had become more obedient after being taught a lesson by Qingyu, also contributed a considerable amount of funds to the alliance.

Of course, these are not the main points; the Padiya League is not short of a few measly gains.

The key point of this Beishang Township incident lies in the strength demonstrated by Qingyu and Eguipeng.

The fact that it could defeat four legendary individuals of unknown strength single-handedly proves that this Evil Creeper's combat power must not be weak.

Therefore, from the very beginning, it was included in Xinli's list of key targets for observation.

After all, what if its strength is too great, and the gatekeeper wipes out all the students with a single blow...?

Thinking of this, Xin Li couldn't help but sigh.

But it seems that even without this Grimmsnarl, Blue Feather could still sweep aside other newcomers with just the other Pokémon.

Besides Lucario, who performed well and escaped unscathed despite fighting two opponents alone, Sylveon also seemed to be acting strangely earlier.

I've never seen its Blood Moon move before, but I can tell from the changes in the surrounding environment that it's a fairy-type move.

And it was this move that almost caused Poppi's ace, the Bronze Elephant, to be instantly defeated despite the attribute disadvantage...

It's fair to say that something just doesn't feel quite right.

Xinli raised an eyebrow, her gaze focusing on the Pokémon whose body was hidden behind a giant mask and which didn't seem so threatening.

If the first two are like this, what about this one, the Egui Pong, which seems to be the strongest on paper so far?
She wasn't the only one who shared the same thought.

When sending out the Evil Spirit, Qingyu also had some mixed feelings.

the reason is simple--

Although the Evil Creeper looks very cute and doesn't look as imposing as the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

However, based on its current team composition, Urgot's combat power is still far ahead, even surpassing the growing Mewtwo.

After all, Ergui Peng hadn't been idle in Guishan, Beishang Township for over a hundred years; it wasn't easy to subdue all the troublemakers on the mountain.

If you could see the level directly, it would be at least level 70, which is the level of a champion main force.

Therefore, Egui Peng's intervention means that this somewhat comical match is about to end.

After all, of the three Pokémon remaining in the back row, Mewtwo is a genuine legendary Pokémon, and it's highly likely that, like Lucario, it won't hold back.

Since neither the Armored Dragon nor the Sister of Love is available for the time being, we can only bring out the already semi-public Evil Phantom.

Qingyu also felt somewhat helpless about this.

Perhaps after I'm done with this busy period, I should start raising one or two more normal babies from scratch to expand the depth of my team?
I wish I could find an ordinary Pokémon on the roadside that I could raise, participate in, and fully enjoy raising.

"Great Bronze Elephant, earthquake!"

Just as Qingyu was pondering, Bopi on the other side quickly reacted and immediately gave instructions.

Her idea was simple: this Pokémon clearly had a Fire-type attribute, so using a Ground-type move that was super effective against it would definitely be very effective.

Furthermore, using an earthquake can also prevent the Pokémon with the stick from getting close to you to some extent, making it relatively safer.

However, she never expected...

The moment she gave the command, Qingyu's expression suddenly fell, and even the corners of her mouth began to twitch.

If students with extensive experience in such challenges were observing at this moment, they might immediately exclaim in surprise—

"It's here! It's Teacher Yu's most hated skill, number one!"

As everyone knows, Aoba hates the Earthquake move.

Because earthquakes indiscriminately attack the surrounding environment, their use will damage the site, and continuous use may even lead to ground collapse.

Contacting the construction team to handle the situation is troublesome, and the museum would have to be closed temporarily for at least one or two days, making it a completely undeserved disaster.

Therefore, whenever the students used this move, Qingyu's expression would become very "kind," and then he would inadvertently reveal his true strength.

The sudden increase in difficulty, by countless levels, once shattered the resolve of several students and made them question the meaning of life.

Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?
Over time, the "five moves that should never be used when challenging the Sunny Gym" has become an urban legend in Key Town and Tabletop City, and is widely circulated among students.

And now...

Since he had decided to finish the battle quickly, and had already conceded a point earlier, Qingyu immediately stopped hesitating.

"Evil Spirit, use the Thorn Vine Staff to interrupt its earthquake!"

This time, Qingyu's voice was noticeably more passionate as she gave the instructions.

You shameless little Bopi! I was just thinking about how to go easy on you, and when I turned around, you actually wanted to demolish our Sunshine Dojo's grounds.
That's interesting.

Then let's talk to our Ponpo's thorny vines!

The best way to deal with the Evil Spirit right now is to change into different masks, use the same thorny vine club, and smash the opponent's dreams with one blow.

"Bonnieyo!"

Upon receiving Qingyu's command, Egui Peng immediately raised his head, his gaze beneath the fiery red mask becoming even more focused.

Since its opponent was Pidgey, which was skilled in Steel-type Pokémon, Urgot had already changed into its Flame Mask, which was effective against its opponent, before emerging from its Poké Ball.

As the Evil Creeper's attention began to focus, the thorny vine club it was gripping in its right hand also changed.

The thick vines that had been wrapped around it were quickly ignited, and the raging flames reflected on its huge stove-like surface, instantly increasing its imposing presence.

After taking a step, Egui Peng's figure quickly transformed into a blur, rushing towards the Great Bronze Elephant at an extremely terrifying speed.

Limited by its bulky size, even knowing that it was about to rush over and strike it hard with its big club, the Great Bronze Elephant could not do anything to avoid it.

Having just withstood the opponent's strange energy attack, it was now powerless to withstand any more attacks.

Therefore, it only has one choice—

Let's fight them!
"Roar--!"

The bronze elephant spewed out scorching air from its steel trunk, and with its sharp eyes, it took a sudden step, causing the ground to tremble.

Starting with the first step, the Great Bronze Elephant is unleashing its full power with the Earthquake move, striving to eliminate its opponent before it can attack.

However, it still misjudged the speed of the Evil Phantom.

Just as the Great Bronze Elephant raised its right foot, about to bring it down, Egui Peng had already arrived in front of it, raising his fiery thorny club high in the air.

"Bonnieyo!"

Ergui Peng gripped his hands tightly and swung his thorny club downwards, aiming directly at the hard, steel trunk of the Great Bronze Elephant.

From Qingyu's tone, Egui Peng could clearly sense his anxiety.

Therefore, this strike was delivered without any restraint; it was entirely aimed at finishing off the opponent in one blow.

"boom--!"

The burning thorny vines transformed into a fire dragon in the air, bombarding the body made of hard steel, and even the surrounding air vibrated.

The simple, unadorned strike didn't even cause any changes in the surrounding environment like the Blood Moon attack that Sylveon had just used.

But the power of this move should not be underestimated.

Almost the instant the attack hit, Qingyu watched as the bronze elephant, which had been full of energy and had a resolute look in its eyes, suddenly rolled its eyes and lost consciousness on the spot.

"..."

Upon seeing this, Xin Li secretly widened her eyes.

This pure fighting style feels a bit like the Great Blacksmith of Popi.

but……

Judging from its strength, this Egui Pong seems capable of wiping out the entire Bopi team in one go.
This terrifying power is almost on par with legendary Pokémon, at least on par with the Servant of the Moon in Yaji's hands...

Was Qingyu not fully serious just now, and is this her complete form?
No, no, no, it's already absurd to think that you could have a champion-level Pokémon. It must have just been a coincidence that you formed a bond with this Urgot.

Although it was a match that was almost a one-sided massacre, Xinli at least managed to glean some information about Qingyu from it.

For example, his two rather strange Pokémon, and this Ursaring with strength comparable to the champion, just looking at these three, they are definitely at the level of the Champion!

So... where should Qingyu be placed?

If Evil Spirit is the final boss, then by all accounts it would be at the level of the lowest or even the champion among the Four Heavenly Kings.

But it doesn't seem quite right to have the students fight against both Aoba and Yeci.

Thinking of this, Xin Li couldn't help but shake her head.

After the battle, she suddenly felt that she was the one who was the most mentally exhausted.

This kind of thing is better left to Ye Ci to worry about.

Since she couldn't come up with a definite answer, Xinli quickly gave up thinking about it.

The score is currently 3-1, which may seem very close, but in reality, Popito's squad is almost completely depleted.

After her trump card, the bronze elephant, fell, all she should have left was...

Magneto and the Bronze Bell?
Bronze Bell is a Pokémon with a more defensive style, and it's hard to say it has any resistance against this Deviant.

So once Magneton is dealt with, it means she's completely out of the game.

Despite having honed his skills for several months in preparation for this challenge against Qingyu, he ultimately suffered a crushing defeat almost identical to the last one.

Perhaps it's too early for Popi, but...

The path of a trainer is destined to be filled with failures and frustrations. Only a mature trainer who adapts to these setbacks and develops a strong mindset can be considered truly powerful.

Hopefully, Bopi won't burst into tears later.

Xin Li suddenly had a somewhat wicked thought.

Seeing that the Great Bronze Elephant was easily killed by Egui Peng with a single blow, Qing Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, given the size of the Bronze Elephant, if it were to actually unleash an earthquake, the arena for my Sunshine Gym would probably have to be renovated from scratch.

But if that happens, Poppy will soon run out of Pokémon, right?

When Qingyu looked at Bopi again, he could read a hint of regret, a touch of despair, a dash of resentment, and a dash of bewilderment in her blank expression. "Damn it..."

"Next one!"

Bopi quickly clenched his little fists and looked at Egui Peng with a competitive gaze, while silently retracting the fallen bronze elephant.

"I choose you, Magneto!"

Soon, a mechanical creature resembling a disc-shaped flying object appeared on the field, with a large eye in the center staring straight ahead.

Magneto evolves from Magneto through a special magnetic field.

However, in recent years, some scholars seem to have discovered that Thunder Stones can also induce Magneton to evolve.

The combined properties of electricity and steel make it extremely disadvantageous against the Evil Spirit when it wears the stove mask.

This also shows that Bopi's lineup has been basically wiped out, so he has no choice but to send it out to counterattack.

It seems the battle can be declared over ahead of schedule.

Just as Qingyu was thinking this, Bopi suddenly reached out again and took out a somewhat familiar-looking black sphere from his pocket.

Upon seeing this, Qingyu immediately raised an eyebrow.

So that's how it is, they're planning to use crystallization...

"Use this special power to defeat your opponent, Magneton!"

Bopi spoke quickly, while simultaneously gripping the somewhat heavy Taijing Bead with both hands, and finally managed to throw it away with all her might.

The familiar scene unfolded once again, with scattered fragments of the crystal covering the Magneto's entire body, quickly causing a layer of silvery-white energy armor to form on its surface.

Judging from the crystal crown on its head, it should be a flight-type character.

Qingyu nodded to herself.

Magneton doesn't have many weaknesses. After using Crystal Fly to change its type, it can avoid fatal Ground and Fighting moves, making it a very good defensive choice.

but……

Since the opponent has already demonstrated their crystallization, I might as well show off my own skills as well.

As Qingyu smiled, she took out the Taijing Bead from her pocket and looked at Egui Peng, who was turning around and staring at her.

“Let’s use teratogenicity to deal with teratogenicity, Egui Pong.”

"Bonnie~"

After responding enthusiastically, Erguipeng raised his mask high.

Seeing this, Qingyu no longer hesitated and immediately threw out the Taijing Pearl in her hand.

Although both are terrestrialized, there are actually quite a few differences between Evilpec and Magneto.

As the only Pokémon with a unique crystallization effect, Ursaring doesn't store all of its energy in a specially made mask when using crystallization, unlike other Pokémon.

The wondrous chemical reaction between the crystallization and the mask not only produces the same effects as ordinary crystallization, but also activates the mask's true power.

Soon, the Fire Stove Mask, having absorbed all the energy from the Taijing fragments, expanded slightly, completely covering Egui Peng's body, while its eyes and the mask's outline began to burn with raging flames.

Combined with the already angry expression on the stove mask, it evokes a sense of a legendary ghost or deity.

"Bonnieyo!!!"

After unleashing the full power of the mask, it seemed that the wildness within the Evil Spirit had also awakened, causing it to unconsciously let out a powerful roar.

Depending on the mask worn, the amplification effect that the Evil Spirit gains after entering the Crystallization Realm will also vary.

The stove mask, on the other hand, provides the most basic and unassuming bonus of +1 physical attack.

Combined with the exceptional properties granted by the Fire Stove Mask and the amplification from the Crystallization, Egui Peng's combat power has more than doubled compared to before.

It fully exemplifies what is meant by the aesthetics of violence.

“Evil and strange, thorny vines and clubs.”

Seeing that Egui Peng was ready, and Bo Pi was still hesitant to make a decision, Qing Yu calmly spoke up.

With this strike, the battle should be over, right?

"Magneto, fly up to dodge the attack, then use your electric net!"

The moment Qingyu spoke, Bopi immediately followed up with a command.

Qingyu could completely understand her thoughts.

Magneto can fly using magnetic fields, and it becomes even more adept at flying after it learns to fly with its crystal.

If the Evil Pine has no aerial combat ability, it will obviously be difficult to deal with it, and it can only be interfered with by the electric net it casts, and then it will be a matter of constantly wearing it down with various moves.

but……

"Use a lightning bolt to dash over, jump on its head, and don't give it a chance to take off."

Qingyu reacted immediately and countered.

Just like when Lucario faced Corviknight, Pokémon that are good at close combat do have a lot of trouble when they are facing opponents that can fly.

But as long as we don't give it a chance to widen the gap, wouldn't the problem be solved?

With this in mind, Qingyu decisively gave the order.

"Bonnieyo!"

Evil Phantom took the first step, and as Magneton began to float upwards, it unleashed a speed far more terrifying than before, closing in on its opponent in just a few breaths.

With a powerful stomp on the ground, the Evil Phantom landed smoothly on the broad back of the Magneton.

"Magneto, use the railgun to shoot it down!"

Bopi was clearly getting anxious and immediately gave instructions.

As Magneto's ultimate attack, the Railgun is indeed terrifyingly powerful and has a large enough charge to paralyze its opponent. Its only drawback is its very low accuracy.

However, this is almost negligible when in close combat.

Unfortunately……

When the Evil Spirit got close, it was clear that it had no chance to activate again.

“Evil and strange, thorny vines and clubs.”

After Qingyu casually uttered a sentence, the two small hands that emerged from under the mask of the Evil Phantom raised the thorny vine club, which seemed to have expanded even more, high into the air, and then slammed it down on the Magneton below, which was charging up its energy.

The results speak for themselves.

Soon, some burn marks appeared on the Magneto's metallic body. Before it could even take flight, it lost all its strength and crashed to the ground.

"I lost……"

Bopi lowered her head dejectedly, her once energetic expression turning into one of grievance.

Although it still has a bronze bell, its combat power is indeed relatively average, and it is not on the same level as the other four.

Within their own team, Bronze Bell is generally responsible for unleashing magic space to deal with some rather special opponents.

Even if it, as the last hope, were to appear, it probably wouldn't be able to withstand two rounds of the Evil Spirit's fierce onslaught...

Thinking of this, Poppi became even more frustrated.

Why does it feel like Gym Leader Qingyu is on a completely different level from all the other trainers I've ever met... Even Sister Xinli has never given me such a strong sense of frustration.

As a result, both of his attempts to challenge himself ended in failure.

Especially this time, despite being very well prepared, she was still easily swept aside by Qingyu.

She even sensed that the Azure Feather Pavilion Master had held back; otherwise, if he had attacked this Evil Spirit directly from the start, she seemed to have had no way to deal with it at all...

Compared to the last time when she was "just a little short," this time after completing the challenge, Bopi felt a bit more helpless.

It seems I had no chance of winning from the very beginning...

But I'm not willing to give up!

Seeing that Bopi had conceded defeat, Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately looked at Bopi, quickly noticing that she seemed quite downcast.

If I don't offer some words of comfort...

Shocking! Teacher Yu actually made the child cry!

Maybe tomorrow I'll see a whole new reason for the negative review.

“Great way to play, Poppi.”

Just as Popi was feeling down and looked like she might burst into tears at any moment, Qingyu's gentle voice suddenly came, making her subconsciously look up at Qingyu, who was smiling and watching her.

"Although I'm not very skilled at commanding Pokémon in battle, which sometimes leads to significant mistakes, but..."

After Qingyu spoke, his first sentence, which used a technique of building suspense before praising, quickly had a good effect, making Bopi look forward to what he would say next.

"But I can sense that your Pokémon trust you a lot and are willing to grow with you, a trainer who is not very experienced. Even when they are at a disadvantage, they always work together with you to find a way out."

To be fair, the battle just now was indeed one-sided, but what Qingyu said wasn't a lie.

For an eight-year-old trainer like Poppi, this performance is already quite good, but the trainer's skill level still needs improvement.

With a little nurturing, he might become a champion in the future.

How about... like with Mewtwo, we suggest she come to our gym as an apprentice for a while?

Putting everything else aside, at least at the Sunny Gym you can often spar with other newcomers, and you also have individual guidance from Teacher Yu, so your trainer level will definitely improve rapidly.

The moment this thought crossed Qingyu's mind, Xinli, who had been silently observing the conversation between the two, also felt a bad premonition.

"That was a really good match."

So, before Qingyu could speak, Xinli decisively interrupted his spellcasting.

"Now that everything's taken care of, and it's getting late, I'll take Poppi back first~"

As she spoke, Xin Li couldn't help but think to herself:
How could I have almost forgotten about this?

It is said that the Sunny Gym is very popular, mainly due to the high level of trainers and their excellent guidance skills, who can provide very practical advice to newcomers.

But if we completely follow Qingyu's advice...

The trainers' thinking has been broadened, but their tactics will inevitably lean towards what Qingyu taught them.

In layman's terms: It will get dirty!
Therefore, it might be too early for eight-year-old Poppi to be exposed to Qingyu...

Let's wait until she develops her own trainer style before letting Qingyu give her some pointers!
