You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 341 Space and sunny weather are indeed a perfect match.
While it was still dinnertime in Padia, it was already late at night in Sinnoh.

Within the Sinnoh League, a passionate voice quickly broke the silence.

"Hurry, hurry, get off work quickly, Teacher Yu's live stream is about to start!"

It was easy to guess from that impatient tone that the speaker was none other than the Sinnoh Fire-type Elite Four member, Bigleaf, who was skilled with the Sunny Day team.

Upon hearing his words, the two people sitting next to Da Ye quickly stopped what they were doing and glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen.

At 1:30 a.m., many people may already be fast asleep, but for the Elite Four members of the Sinnoh League, it's just the beginning of their nightlife.

"You idiot, you haven't been timing this whole time, have you...?"

Sitting in the middle of the three, A-Liu sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation, but her hands moved quickly, putting the documents and reports into the drawer almost exactly in sync with Da-Ye, making the desktop tidy again.

"Otherwise what? Since we agreed on off-get off work time, we can't afford to waste even a second!"

Da Ye chuckled heartily, then looked at Wu Song.

"..."

Wusong didn't say anything, but silently did the same actions as them.

At the same time, he was also thinking:
Ah Liu, how dare you criticize others? I've seen you flip through that thin page dozens of times...

Although he really wanted to refute them immediately, today was an exception, so he didn't say much.

Because they weren't originally required to work overtime at the league on Sundays.

Even with all the affairs in the Sinnoh League, Champion Ellen Chikara and another elderly Utah Champion, Kikuno, were unable to share the workload. The three of them were not so busy that they needed to work 24-hour shifts.

In reality, as superstars, they only need to handle a portion of the most important work. The workload may be a little heavy, but they can still manage it.

As for why they all appeared here in such unison today, the reason is quite simple—

Sunday night is Qingyu's first broadcast day.

For many Elite Four members, gym leaders, and even champion-level trainers, Yu's live-streamed lessons are very meaningful.

Qingyu's understanding is actually not complicated, but before this, very few people would have specifically thought about these Pokémon.

However, it must be admitted that some Pokémon that are relatively rare in their eyes can be used in all sorts of fancy ways in Qingyu's hands, which can also be of some inspirational value for actual battles.

Therefore, watching Teacher Yu's live stream has become a must-do for these superstars and gym owners every Sunday.

Even if you can't use most of the tactics you learn from Qingyu, the more tactics you know, the clearer your strategy will be when you face them in the future.

In short: Just learn!

That's why Da Ye suggested a long time ago that since they were all going to watch Teacher Yu's live stream anyway, why didn't the three of them just get together every Sunday to watch it and exchange ideas to deepen their understanding?

That's why they pretended to work overtime on Sunday, but in reality, they were waiting for Qingyu's live stream to start.

However, compared to Daye and Aliu, Wusong was actually working diligently.

But since it was almost time, he decided to give himself a short break and watch a live stream to cheer himself up.

Soon, the three of them opened their respective live streams, and at the same time, Qingyu happened to appear on the screen.

"Speaking of which, today's content should be about the Sandstorm Doubles team?"

A-Liu suddenly spoke, her expression immediately turning playful as she looked at Da-Ye and Wu-Song on either side.

"How so? Do you have any ideas?"

"Trainers can't run away in the face of battle! Charge! Charge! Charge!"

Da Ye immediately echoed this with great enthusiasm, and at the same time, the two of them turned their gazes to Wu Song.

"..."

Wusong remained silent, only nodding silently as a hint of agreement.

The riddle between the three is quite simple—

Sniper Teacher Yu!

While playing against Teacher Yu often leaves you drenched in sweat, the rewards of playing against a master are unmatched by other high-ranking casual players.

In particular, Coach Yu changes different tactics every week, making him an ideal sparring partner who can help test whether there is room for improvement in one's lineup.

Even if you lose, it's a kind of victory in a sense!

Especially for Gosho, who had lost to Aoba in a head-on confrontation, he was even more addicted to it, experiencing both pain and pleasure.

This is also the main reason why they enjoy it so much.

However, for certain reasons (definitely not because Qingyu doesn't play Pokémon Champions much except for streaming!), it's almost impossible to run into him in the game normally.

Therefore, a reasonable approach quickly became a consensus among elite trainers.

Although the gym leaders and elite players who were lurking in the live stream didn't mention it to each other, many people gradually realized what was going on after Michael appeared twice in Teacher Yu's live stream.

If you start ranked matches while Qingyu is streaming, the chances of encountering him will greatly increase!
Thinking of this, Wusong couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

Before the Superpower Master Tournament begins, if I could have a sparring match with Teacher Yu, I'd probably gain some insights.

Even in doubles, that's enough.

and……

He had a vague feeling that he would be one of the "lucky viewers" in today's live stream.

As a superhuman, his premonitions have always been very accurate.

However, wasn't Teacher Yu's tactics a bit strange today, or rather... eerie?
Clefairy? What can this Pokémon do?

As Qingyu began building his lineup during the live stream, Daye and Aliu soon voiced their confusion.

Even knowing that Teacher Yu must have his reasons for taking action, many viewers still subconsciously felt that way about this cute creature that looked completely powerless.

Even Wusong subconsciously thought so.

"Never mind, maybe this is a good thing. Let's match first. If we can beat Teacher Yu, we'll have something to brag about!"

As always, Da Ye couldn't hold back any longer and made his move the moment Qing Yu started matching.

"I'm coming too!"

A-Liu followed closely behind.

Wu Song merely smiled dismissively at their performance and did not follow the same path as them.

too naive!

Anyone who studied the matchmaking system for ranked games would not have made such a hasty decision!
Since all three of them are at the mid-level of Master Ball, and there is a gap between them and Qingyu, who is at the bottom of the Master Ball rank, they may not be able to match up immediately.

Therefore, starting your ranked matches early to avoid the upcoming "clash of teams" is the best option!

Therefore, he had already started matchmaking silently the moment he opened the live stream.

About ten seconds later, as the matchmaking screen popped up, Yu Laoshi's trainer ID appeared on the screen, and Wusong immediately showed a confident smile.

Sure enough, it worked!
"Damn it, how did I get matched with you!"

"I'm never playing matchmaking with you again! You're doomed!"

"Hey, who's afraid of who!"

In contrast to Wusong's group, Daye and Aliu were coincidentally matched together and started trash-talking.

Wusong didn't care about this, and silently calculated in his mind the Pokémon combinations that Qingyu might use.

Soon, he had already found the answer in his heart.

Speaking of which, the last time I battled against Teacher Yu, it was also in doubles mode. I think I was completely crushed by that Slaking with the Huge Power ability...

Thinking of this, Wusong's eyes gradually hardened, and he silently turned off the live stream on the screen.

Now that the sniping was successful, Wusong himself would never resort to such underhanded tactics as spying on the screen to obtain the opponent's selection information in advance.

"This time, I'll show Teacher Yu how much I've improved!"

……

"Wusong, it must be another space team, right?"

Knowing something about his opponent, Qingyu quickly muttered something under his breath.

For a trainer, specializing in a single attribute has both advantages and disadvantages; it depends on what type they are good at.

For example, the relatively balanced water and fire attributes offer a good balance between offense and defense, a wider range of choices, and a built-in weather system, making them an excellent choice.

As for specializing in superpowers... putting reality aside, it's definitely pretty bottom-tier in the game, at least.

The range of attacks from the superpower attribute is really poor, and the defense isn't much better either, which Qingyu thinks is quite a disadvantage.

Of course, trainers skilled in this attribute usually possess psychic abilities, making them far more effective in actual battles than in the game—a significant advantage. As for Gosho…

His lineup will probably remain the same as before, making choices between two constant systems: one that keeps the team ahead and the other that keeps the team in check.
After a moment's recollection, Qingyu quickly remembered the lineup of Wusong that he had seen before.

Then there shouldn't be a big problem.

This lineup is quite effective against Trick Room teams. Even with a favorable speed boost, it might not be as effective as Excadrill's Sand Rush.

However, upon seeing Wusong's lineup, Qingyu immediately fell into deep thought—

Bronze Bell, Dumbshell Beast, Coal Turtle, Fire-Breathing Camel, Miss Skirt, Circle Bear.

The lineup is completely different from the previous one; it's almost impossible to see any trace of Wu Song, the Super King.

But from Qingyu's perspective, Wusong might actually have become stronger after abandoning this "purity".

Could it be that he has already had an epiphany?
The so-called Trick Room team, apart from a few Psychic Pokémon that can deal damage, is mostly just a support for setting up Trick Room. It is true that fusing with other types will have a much better effect.

"We're still using Bronze Bell as our space maneuver, and the opponent's overall lineup still has a very low speed."

"However, it's hard to say. After all, with the addition of the Sunny Day team, the lineup has become more flexible, and the hitting range has also expanded."

Qingyu immediately began analyzing Wusong's team composition strategy.

"Space and clear skies are inherently a very compatible system, and this is even more true in the current Mega Evolution version of the game..."

"I mentioned a long time ago that Mega Camerut is an excellent attacker in Trick Room teams, but I didn't expect that its first appearance in our live stream would be against the other side."

Sunny weather and spaciousness are indeed a perfect match. It seems that Wusong has realized this, which is why he has started to try new team composition ideas in the game.

After making a remark, Qingyu looked at the other Pokémon again.

"Besides Camerupt, which will probably choose one of Slowbro as its core, there is another Pokémon in his team that can perform very well even when Trick Room teams are countered."

After saying that, he pointed to the rather inconspicuous dress.

Although it wasn't the Emerald Green form, but rather a regular Skirt Lady with a single Grass attribute, it was still enough to catch Qingyu's eye.

"This Miss Skirt is possibly even faster than our Dragon Head Mole."

"And that Ursaring... a choice made to further expand the coverage of attacks. I believe that the infamous reputation of Ursaring in Mt. Silver is well known to trainers in the area."

"In short, Wusong's lineup has changed a lot this time, so we need to be more careful in probing his strengths."

Qingyu's team is still using the Sandstorm team, so seizing the right weather becomes extremely important.

So without hesitation, he chose the Sandstorm Brothers as the starters, and in the backcourt, he chose Pipi and Aiguanshi.

"If you don't equip Tyranitar with a Mega Stone, Yu suggests you just give up on the risky tactic of trying to steal the weather at the start of the game."

After selecting her opponent, while waiting for her to join, Qingyu casually added a sentence.

He had previously taught students some basic concepts about weather battles.

Because weather conditions can be replaced, the slower the weather handler and the later they appear, the easier it is for them to steal the weather.

Tyranitar is significantly faster than Torkoal, but this isn't necessarily a good thing; on the contrary, it gives Torkoal a considerable advantage when it comes to weather conditions.

However, since Tyranitar can trigger the Sandstorm ability again through Mega Evolution, it can almost guarantee that it will have a sandstorm to cover it when it moves.

This is the fundamental reason why he chose to forcefully seize the weather at the start of the game.

Following Qingyu, their opponent Wusong also quickly finalized his starting lineup.

Once the battle begins, both trainers stand on the battlefield and quickly throw two Poké Balls each.

There's no need to elaborate on Qingyu's side.

The Sandstorm duo, Tyranitar and Excadrill, have already revealed the tactics they intend to use.

As for Wusong on the other side, he chose a relatively conservative combination of Coal Turtle and Miss Skirt.

Once both sides revealed their lineups, their intentions were obvious even to the audience.

A battle between sunny weather and a sandstorm, huh? That's interesting...

[Did you guys notice? This time, Teacher Yu didn't seem to use his precognitive abilities. Is it because his opponent got stronger?]

[That's understandable, considering that Teacher Yu himself said Mr. Wusong has improved a lot. But... just looking at the lineup, it feels like he's been possessed by Da Ye, which is a bit strange!]

[For victory, I'm even willing to abandon my own comrades.jpg]

"Tsk, now that you've discovered you can consistently control the weather, are you planning to use Miss Skirt to get the first move and wear us down?"

The moment Qingyu saw Wusong's lineup, he immediately realized what was going on.

So he immediately and decisively spoke up—

"Come back, Dragon Head Mole."

"Tyranitar, Mega Evolve and use Rock Slide!"

Qingyu's idea was simple.

The opponent's Torkoal and Sylveon both rely on Special Attack as their main source of damage, so they are relatively less of a threat to Tyranitar.

If Excadrill were to take a direct hit from a Sunny Weather Ball, even if Missa's move wasn't a STAB move, the power would be enough to essentially cripple Excadrill.

The pace of doubles is very fast, and even if Bangilas leaves the court to wait for a chance to regain the weather, it is difficult for him to find a suitable opportunity to come back on the court.

Therefore, while ensuring Excadrill's safety, Qingyu chose to have Tyranitar Mega Evolve immediately, using the second Sandstorm to cover up the sunny weather and prevent Torkoal from using Solar Beam to eliminate him.

As he gave the instructions, Wusong immediately spoke up:
"Coal Turtle, breathe fire!"

"Miss Skirt, Weather Ball, target Excadrill!"

Just like Qingyu's thinking, Wusong's idea was also to deal with the most troublesome Excadrill first, completely ignoring Tyranitar, which was already flashing white light and starting its Mega Evolution.

However, Qingyu successfully anticipated his intentions and acted before the attack could arrive, returning Excadrill to its Poké Ball.

Instead of it, Qingyu was greeted by her beloved younger sister, Aiguan Shi.

The moment she appeared, the downward-curving horns on the top of Aissagi's head suddenly flashed with light, and then pure psychic energy spread outward from her feet, quickly covering the entire arena.

"Indecisive's hidden ability is Psychic, which is similar to a weather-type ability. It creates a Psychic Terrain at the start of the battle, providing special effects during the battle. I've used it more than once before."

After Qingyu gave a brief explanation, she saw that Miss Qun'er on the other side of the screen had finished charging up and, with the help of the clear sky, condensed a ball of fiery energy, which she then threw fiercely towards the direction of her sister Aiguanshi.

Weather Ball is a move that almost any Pokémon can learn. It changes its type depending on the weather, making it very versatile.

On sunny days, the Fire-type Weather Ball is quite powerful and poses a great threat to Excadrill, a Ground/Steel type.

If bombarded repeatedly by a Weather Ball and a Coalossal's fire-breathing attack, even an Excadrill wouldn't be able to withstand it.

However, it's not too fatal for Aikan Samurai, who has excellent durability.

Faced with the incoming fireball, Aisuke on the field of Qingyu did not panic at all. Instead, in the midst of the extreme tension, he took out a pink seed from his pocket and swallowed it in front of everyone.

Then, its body quickly emitted bursts of orange light, and its eyes became increasingly confident.

As the weather ball drew closer, a loud boom was heard, and Aisin easily withstood the opponent's attack with his physical body.

Judging from its exhaustion, even with the added benefit of clear weather and its incredible power, the weather ball didn't seem to pose much of a threat at all.

[After the opponent changed to the Heavenly King, Teacher Yu's prediction started again. As expected, the Heavenly King is easier to handle, isn't he! (evil laugh)]

To be honest, isn't this power a bit too weak? Could it be related to the props the servant used to eat earlier...?

[It couldn't have been from eating a pomelo beforehand to boost his energy, could it? It doesn't seem like that...]

Qingyu didn't mince words and smiled as she spoke:
"It is a spiritual seed, a standard prop for Aidservants."

Just as the four weather conditions have corresponding items that can extend the duration of the weather, the four terrain conditions also have seed items that can take effect in the corresponding terrain and enhance a certain ability of the holder.

The Spirit Seed corresponding to Spirit Field, once triggered, will further boost Indeedee's already excellent Special Defense to another level.

Therefore, for Esper, blocking a mere Weather Ball is not a problem.

As she spoke, Qingyu looked at the other side of the screen again.

While the bullet hell and both sides of the battle were focused on Assassin, Tyranitar was not idle either.

As a beam of light shot into the sky and then quickly went out, Mega Tyranitar made his appearance, unleashing a deafening roar that echoed throughout the entire arena.

Due to the effects of Mega Evolution, Tyranitar's Sandstorm ability is triggered again.

Before the slow-moving Coal Turtle could make its move, the originally clear weather quickly turned into a sandstorm, completely blocking out the sun overhead and making it difficult to even absorb sunlight.

Without the blessing of sunny weather, Torkoal's moves are not only much less powerful, but it also loses the opportunity to use Solar Beam.

Thus, Qingyu easily neutralized the Sunny Day Quick Attack system that Wusong had chosen at the start.

Now it's his turn to attack!
