You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 347 Cattleya: Hehe, I must win! (Bonus chapter for monthly votes: 728)

"Did Teacher Yu already come by?"

About an hour later, when Wusong entered the inn next to the Pokémon Dome to register, he was surprised to find an extremely familiar name on the same page.

Blue Feather!

So, he instinctively asked Ms. Officer Jenny, who was in charge of staff.

"Yes, Mr. Wusong, your room is on the same floor as Teacher Yu's. Perhaps you can visit Teacher Yu before the match."

Miss Officer Jenny nodded and offered her suggestion politely.

As we all know, due to the influence of some of Qingyu's videos, both the Officer Jenny and Joey families are now die-hard fans of Teacher Yu.

So when Qingyu made his last appearance on the live stream a while ago, his exciting battle with Wusong became a topic of much discussion among them.

And greeting familiar trainers before the start of a competition seems to be a perfectly normal thing to do.

After a moment of silence, Wusong shook his head at Officer Jenny's suggestion.

"No, forget it."

"I heard that Teacher Yu has been undergoing special training recently. If we visit him now, we will more or less notice the Pokémon he has prepared for this competition."

"Although Teacher Yu probably won't care, it's best to avoid these off-field factors that have already affected the battle."

After saying that, Wusong picked up his luggage and walked into the elevator without looking back.

He breathed a sigh of relief after entering the elevator.

Besides the considerations he had just mentioned, there was actually a deeper reason, one that he was reluctant to admit, which prevented him from taking the first step to meet Qingyu in person.

The reason is simple, even somewhat mystical:

Ever since it was confirmed that Teacher Yu would participate in the Superpower Masters Tournament, he had a vague premonition—

Who knows, maybe Yu will become the biggest dark horse of this Masters Tournament?

Although the reason is unclear, as a superhuman, his sixth sense has always been very accurate and has a certain degree of credibility.

Therefore, if you encounter a Pokémon before the battle that you have absolutely no idea how to deal with, you might be the one who has a mental breakdown first.

This is the real reason why Wusong hesitated.

“In the previous ‘Talking about Myths’ video series, Teacher Yu seemed to be very intimate with the dream.”

As the elevator ascended, Wusong couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The thought that he might be facing a legendary being sent chills down Wusong's spine.

Although legendary Pokémon are rare, there are cases of them participating in competitions.

For example, the two Urshifu, officially recognized as legendary Pokémon, were Galar's main force in the battle against the legendary Mash.

Master Ma's ability to win the Galar championship for many years and even shine in the Master Tournament is not only due to his own skill level, but also to the undeniable power of his Pokémon.

"However, isn't using Dream World to compete a bit too much...?"

"That's someone who can theoretically learn all Pokémon moves and has an absolutely perfect move pool. Combined with Qingyu's command abilities, they could even put up a fight in the Master Tournament, right?"

"No, it seems that Mew only needs to use the seal to prevent other Pokémon from using any moves at all, leaving them only able to struggle in place..."

Thinking of this, Wusong immediately shook his head, stopping himself from thinking about it any further.

"Being able to subdue a legendary being is the best proof of strength, so I accept the defeat!"

"Moreover, we can't treat Yu-sensei as an ordinary trainer at all. All I can do is prepare as well as possible and face the Pokémon that are still completely unknown to him with the mindset of a challenger."

What Wusong didn't know was...

Besides him, the other contestants in this year's competition also had a sense of foreboding.

As for the reason, perhaps only Sabrina, who knows about Mewtwo's existence and is also a contestant, knows.

"As expected, judging from the observed fragments of the future, at least Dream will not appear in this Superpower Master Tournament."

Sabrina, who had also gone to her room to rest, finally breathed a sigh of relief after ending her "sixth sense," or rather, her ability to foresee the future, which she possessed as a superpowered individual.

If Mewtwo and Mew were to appear on the field, it would probably instantly generate a lot of buzz, but at the same time, it would also leave the other contestants feeling deeply hopeless...

Fortunately, Yu-sensei showed some mercy and only chose Mewtwo, which was still in its growth stage.

Thus……

"Defeating Teacher Yu is difficult, but it doesn't seem impossible."

Naz couldn't help but think this to herself, but quickly shook her head.

"No, you can't think like that."

"After all, it's a battle with Qingyu. Even if I lose, I won't feel any psychological burden. I just need to show my true self."

"Don't be too attached to winning or losing; this is also an inspiration from fate."

……

Meanwhile, inside a large villa on the outskirts of Manjin City.

"Hey, Zhu Lan, didn't you say you were coming to the Superpower Masters Tournament to cheer me on? If you come, do you want to go shopping together today?"

"Oh... I didn't know you had work to do. You can't come over until tomorrow, Saturday. That's really kind of you!"

"What about tomorrow? Before the Masters Tournament starts tomorrow, how about we go for a walk together, something we haven't done in a long time? I heard that Goldenrod City has some really unique flavored ice cream!"

"Huh??? You've already made plans with Qingyu to go to the arcade to relax?" "What about tonight? Oh, are you going to discuss tactics with Qingyu...?"

"Haha...that's true. After all, Qingyu helped you a lot last time, so it's time to repay that favor..."

"I understand, of course I get it."

"..."

"Okay, then I won't disturb your work."

"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow, goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, the blonde woman, who had lost out, showed an expression of resentment and humiliation, and even the soft bed beneath her began to tremble.

"Mmmm..."

Cattleya gritted her teeth, forcing herself to suppress the surging superpowers within her.

"call--"

After taking several deep breaths, Cattleya finally calmed down a little.

"I'm not angry, I'm not angry at all..."

"Whether it's Zhulan or Qingyu, they're both big jerks and not worth getting angry over!"

After quickly calming herself down, Gadriya immediately shifted her attention from Zhulan's words to her opponent in this Superpower Master Tournament.

After ignoring the other insignificant opponents, a name that gave her a complex expression quickly came to mind.

Blue Feather!

"Although I don't know what Qingyu was thinking, suddenly announcing his participation in the Superpower Masters Tournament, but..."

"It's a good thing that he can participate in the competition, as it gives me a chance to meet him in an official event."

"And by the way, let's also settle the score for the harm he and Zhu Lan have caused me over the past six months!"

"This time, I'll show you just how terrifying the leader of the Battle Frontier Zone can be when he gets serious!"

Thinking of this, Gadriya couldn't help but smile confidently, and her mood improved considerably.

If it were any other attribute, she wouldn't be so confident of winning against Qingyu, and it would be almost impossible for her to participate.

Her greatest strength lies in superpowers, giving her a natural advantage as a superpowered individual.

It's no exaggeration to say that with his current strength, securing the top spot in Unova is a foregone conclusion; he just needs to wait for the annual challenge for that spot.

The Heavenly King is fighting the Gym Leader, and their understanding of attributes is on completely different levels. Is there any possibility that I can lose?

Of course not! Not even a little bit!

Even if the competition rules don't allow trainers to use superpowers, it's still the same!
Just thinking about the bewildered or surprised look in Zhu Lan's eyes after she defeated Qing Yu in a head-on battle made Jia Deliya incredibly excited!

and so……

"Just wait to die, Qingyu!"

For some reason, although she was a superpowered person, Cattleya's body was clearly surrounded by a dark aura when she spoke.

"Hehe, I must win for Zhulan!"

……

"Ah sneeze——!"

Qingyu, who was resting with her eyes closed in her room, suddenly sneezed and muttered something under her breath.

"Is it because I'm not used to the new environment, or is someone secretly badmouthing me?"

"However, it seems that some people say that superpowered people are all related to paranormal events, so they are frequent visitors to urban legends."

"Could it be that some superpowered person nearby is thinking about me?"

"It seems even stranger now..."

A little confused, Qingyu quickly gave up thinking about the problem and turned her attention to her Pokémon partners who were training in the private room.

The Pokémon are all working hard, so I need to organize my thoughts properly too!
Qingyu quickly put other distracting thoughts aside and picked up a booklet from the bedside table that contained the competition's schedule.

"Similar to the Dragon Attribute Master Tournament, before entering the knockout stage, you have to fight five rounds in the group stage to finally get a ticket to advance to the top eight."

As a spectator, Qingyu watched Cynthia play in the group stage, which was like a complete pushover; one Pokémon easily defeated three opponents.

However, when it came time for him to make a move, he realized that it was not a simple matter.

First, we need to consider the differences in attributes. Dragon attributes are mutually restraining, while superpowers are mutually resistant.

Therefore, the only way to defeat three opponents at once is to rely on a Pokémon with a non-psychic attribute.

In the group stage schedule, the first three matches are randomly selected, so you will most likely encounter players with relatively average strength, and you cannot reveal too much of your strength.

If we win all our matches, we will most likely face tough opponents in our last two games, and our tactical focus will undoubtedly have to be on them.

Compared to the group stage, this format seems to be more like a Swiss system.

After thinking for a moment, Qingyu quickly came up with an idea—

In that case, Lucario will start all three matches.

If it can consistently win three games in a row, it can also retain more cards and catch its opponent off guard at crucial moments.
