You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 364 When a Mastermind Meets a Mastermind Belike… (534 chapters owed for monthly votes)

Time quickly came to March 29th, Sunday.

Today is also the final day of the Superpower Masters Tournament.

The Superpower Masters Tournament, which was highly anticipated by countless viewers before the competition, has finally come to an end with its final curtain call after numerous exciting battles.

In terms of combat strength alone, many of the contestants in this year's competition have left a deep impression.

Moreover, unlike the previous Dragon Attribute Master Tournament where veteran players clashed, this year's participants are all very young, with the two finalists being just adults and definitely promising for the future.

Among these outstanding newcomers, Qingyu is undoubtedly the most dazzling one.

Whether it was his five spectacular 1v3 victories in the group stage or his dominant style in the main tournament, his performance was enough to impress the audience. Already quite famous, he gained even more fans through this opportunity.

In particular, Mewtwo and Ursaring in his team, two Pokémon that are not even recorded in the Pokédex, brought viewers an incredibly novel experience.

In today's final, Qingyu will face a semi-local player, Sabrina, the newly appointed Gym Leader from Saffron City in Kanto.

What kind of sparks will fly between these two young and promising geniuses?

"Wow! This is truly a grand event worthy of a High Ball; even the Pokémon Dome, which is supposedly impossible to fill, is packed with people..."

After struggling to squeeze into the audience seats through the entrance aisle, A-Jin smoothed his disheveled bangs, which had become a mess from being squeezed in, and looked down at the almost full seats, letting out a sigh.

"If I could play a match in a place like this, I would be willing to meet Ms. Kurumi in person and shake her hand!"

"However, I'll be able to do this kind of thing through my own efforts sooner or later!"

"Compared to Miss Walnut, today's match is definitely more important. If we miss it, who knows when the next local high-level golf tournament will be..."

After shaking his head, Ah Jin immediately seized the opportunity, weaving through the crowd until he finally found a corner with an empty seat.

"I wonder what Pokémon Teacher Yu will use today? I can't wait!"

"From today onwards, I'm a long-time fan of Teacher Yu!"

Just as the entire Pokémon Dome was immersed in the frenzied atmosphere before the battle, somewhere on Pokémon TV... in a well-known corner, an ordinary live broadcast room suddenly started.

【What the heck? Why am I getting Yu Laoshi's live stream on my homepage? Aren't you going to play in the finals?】

[Teacher Yu is streaming while playing in the Masters tournament, is he that confident?]

[Refresh! Why is the person streaming the video so cute?! !!!]

Hello everyone!

Before viewers, who had already developed muscle memory for it, could even react, Zhu Lan, smiling at the camera, had already appeared on the screen.

The viewers in the live stream immediately let out a series of "Oh!" and then realized what was happening—

[Oh, it's the adorable substitute streamer! That's great! I've disliked Teacher Yu for a long time, I support Champion Zhulan to be a regular in the live stream!]

【Qingyu? He's a complete stranger! (Compassionless)】

[Why would I dream of a professional commentator playing the game offstage while the champion is providing commentary in the live broadcast studio?]

Since the battle hadn't started yet, Zhu Lan was holding a Rotom phone and occasionally saw the comments scrolling across the screen, which made her smile knowingly.

"That's right. Today, I was asked by Qingyu to share his joy of winning the championship with the viewers in the live broadcast room."

"So I'll temporarily take his place and start the live stream."

"Tsk..."

Upon hearing this, Gadriya, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but click her tongue loudly, while silently complaining.

"He's already declaring himself the champion before the competition even starts? He's so arrogant. He doesn't even consider the other players as serious rivals!"

"However... I have to admit, he does have the right to say that, damn it!"

As soon as Gadriya spoke, the live stream audience heard her voice simultaneously.

[Is that Miss Gadriya? She must have been very upset after losing to Teacher Yu last time, but she's so cute~]

Why... even though it's supposed to be a critique of Teacher Yu, does it somehow sound like I'm hearing a "loser" vibe?

[Teacher Yu specializes in charming the adorable, but she's also done all sorts of mischievous things!]

After Zhulan started broadcasting, viewers who were unable to attend the match in person quickly gathered in the live stream room. As the number of viewers increased, the pre-match discussions also became more and more heated.

After the lively atmosphere lasted for a few minutes, Hu Tao appeared on the big screen, signaling the official start of the finals for this year's Superpower Masters Group.

……

The two competitors quickly emerged from the players' tunnel.

When Qingyu stepped onto the battlefield and faced off against her opponent, Natsumi, her expression was unmistakably serious.

As longtime fans who have interacted both online and offline, Qingyu and Naz have a pretty good relationship. After all, they communicated and cooperated quite a bit during the process of thwarting Team Rocket's conspiracy.

However, this is the first time they've met as rivals.

"Teacher Yu, I can sense that this battle may be very difficult. Even the fragments of the future I have glimpsed are constantly foreshadowing this."

Before Qingyu could speak, Naz, who seemed rather taciturn, spoke first, her face serious and earnest.

"But even so, I want to defy fate occasionally and contribute a game without regrets in my best condition."

"Since meeting Teacher Yu, I have grown a lot, so..."

Halfway through her speech, Naz paused for a moment, and her previously worried face melted away, revealing a warm smile.

"Witness my all-out tactical effort, Teacher Yu!"

Qingyu nodded solemnly.

As expected of Sabrina, the aura she exuded while speaking was incredibly powerful, even making him momentarily think he was facing a Pokémon as powerful as Mewtwo...

Moreover, as expected, gym leaders always say something that sounds very sophisticated before a battle; it's become a professional habit.

Since that's the case, I can't be negligent!

"No matter what tactics are used, they are meaningless to me, not even to Miss Sabrina who can foresee the future."

"No matter how many times you derive it, there will only be one final result."

After Qingyu finished speaking, he suddenly revealed an aggressive smile, which was completely different from his usual calm demeanor.

"Then... try to defeat me, Sabrina."

After saying that, the two smiled at each other and turned around in unison.

"Both teams are in position!"

"The game officially begins!"

With the referee's whistle, the two remaining players on the field simultaneously threw Poké Balls, except for one who was fleeing the scene at top speed.

"Come on, Teacher Yu, the championship is today!!!"

"Miss Naza, you have to stop Teacher Yu! Let us see hope that we can beat him, okay...qwq"

"Quack, seeing such an exciting and earth-shattering battle, even if I were to turn into a Ghost-type now, it would still be worth the ticket price!"

In the stands, the roars and cheers of the audience rose and fell.

"Qingyu's choice is more conventional, sending out Ai Guan Shi, who has performed well as a surprise player in the main competition."

"Same style as before, Indeedee immediately triggered his Psychic Creator ability upon entering the field. The released psychic power temporarily covered the ground, which not only enhanced the power of psychic moves but also prevented offensive preemptive moves from both sides."

"Serena has chosen... one of Eevee's evolved forms, Espeon!"

Lance, who was about to introduce the Pokémon appearing on both sides, suddenly became more intense in his tone.

"Miss Sabrina had never used this Pokémon before entering the finals. It seems she's been saving it as a last resort until now???"

(SunEevee)
It's perfectly understandable that A-du would be a little surprised.

After all, it's incredible that someone would actually keep a key player hidden until the finals, catching everyone off guard by starting them.

As expected of a student trained by Teacher Yu... their tactical arrangements before the battle even began showed their professionalism, making it immediately clear who their mentor was.

Even Qingyu, who loves to use this information gap strategy, was caught off guard and was clearly stunned when he saw this Espeon.

But when he noticed the light blue light still shining in Sabrina's eyes, Aoba suddenly felt relieved.

That's right, Sabrina can briefly glimpse the future...

Although it's likely just a few possible timelines, it can still help her obtain a lot of useful information.

For example, my starting lineup will be Ai Guan Shi Mei Mei.

Espeon's single Psychic type poses no threat to Qingyu.

The problem is that the tactics he had meticulously designed for his servant had already been used once before, and it's estimated that Sabrina has already figured them out thoroughly.

Assassin's uniqueness comes from its ability to absorb the opponent's emotions during battle, so it must use various means to manipulate the opponent.

The best method is naturally to... use a variety of skill combos to overwhelm the opponent, making them feel disgusted and constantly generating various negative emotions, until Aissagi accumulates enough energy to unleash his treasured ultimate move.

Unfortunately, these moves were clearly ineffective against Espeon.

Espeon's hidden ability is Magic Mirror, which can reflect most status moves, making Qingyu's tactics impossible to execute from the start.

Therefore, he is a very troublesome opponent for Abbot.

"You've got a knack for it..."

As Qingyu spoke, her eyes grew increasingly fervent.

"But that's what makes the finals interesting—it has to be this kind of opponent!"

"Agent Chaperone, Shadowball."

Qingyu immediately gave instructions, intending to test Naz's reaction first.

"SunEevee, electromagnetic waves!"

Asterisk's actions seemed to be entirely within Sabrina's expectations. After a cold laugh, she quickly made her choice, ordering Espeon to harass the opponent with Battery Wave, which can paralyze the opponent.

"Tsk..."

Qingyu couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

The Magic Mirror is indeed quite unfair in singles, almost preventing its own side from using any variation moves, while Sabrina's side is having a blast using them!
Now that things have come to this, there's no point in interrupting Indeedee's Shadow Ball, which is almost finished, to block it with a Protect. After all, Espeon's move will hit sooner or later thanks to its speed advantage.

Therefore, he chose to hurt each other.

As Abbot conjured a Shadow Ball, Espeon unleashed a high-speed electromagnetic wave from its tail. Neither of them chose to dodge, and instead clashed head-on.

After being hit by a Ghost-type move that was weak to it, Espeon gritted its teeth and withstood the attack, still looking fiercely determined despite being seriously injured.

Aiguanshi, on the other hand, was invaded by electromagnetic waves, and his body quickly began to emit crackling currents, and he fell into a state of paralysis.

At this moment, the chaotic current coursing through its body made the situation even more uncontrollable.

After all, if you're unlucky, the electric current might suddenly spurt out before you can unleash your attack, causing you to convulse and potentially interrupting your move, thus missing a golden opportunity.

"Why didn't Qingyu use the invincible Mewtwo as the starting go-to ...

In the live stream, viewers who were immersed in watching the game online suddenly heard the girl's question, and then realized that it was Gadria muttering to herself.

Clearly, the oppressive feeling brought by Mewtwo had left a deep impression on Gadalia, so much so that she had her eye on this Blue Feather's "ace" Pokémon right from the start.

The viewers strongly agreed with this assessment.

[Yeah, Mewtwo just swept through three opponents in one go, what was Yu-sensei thinking?]

[Perhaps it's to let other Pokémon participate? After all, it's the finals, and the teammates need to feel involved!]

[Uh... Teacher Yu probably isn't that confident, is she? Disrespecting your opponent with gimmicks in the finals is a huge no-no; losing would be a lifelong disgrace...]

"Qingyu certainly has his own ideas."

Zhu Lan shook her head helplessly and pointed to the Espeon on the field.

"I think Miss Sabrina should have already considered this. If this Espeon is equipped with Focus Sash, it wouldn't matter if it could withstand Mewtwo's attack."

"If we can paralyze Mewtwo, its threat will be greatly reduced, and the Mega Gengar that comes out next might be able to sweep the team in one fell swoop..."

"In this situation, we need to be more conservative. In my opinion, Qingyu's decision is correct."

After a brief explanation, Gadriya suddenly understood.

"Indeed... that Mega Gengar is a real headache. It seems no one has figured out a way to deal with it yet. Once you get your shadow pinned to the ground, you're stuck fighting it to the death."

"But if it appears from the beginning, it might have its stamina depleted by Qingyu first, thus greatly reducing its suppressive power."

"So both sides ultimately opted for a more cautious approach of probing. As expected of the finals... the level of competition was indeed quite impressive!"

"Yes, so Qingyu's choice is the main event next."

Zhu Lan nodded slightly and then turned her gaze back to Qing Yu below.

These crucial moments, where on-the-spot decisions can influence the entire course of a match, truly test the trainer's intuition.

If it were Qingyu, what would he do?

"No problem, right, Aisin-san?"

"Hmm!"

On the field, Qingyu glanced worriedly at the little maidservant in front of her. Only after receiving a strong reply from her and a small hand that secretly made a V-sign behind her back did she breathe a sigh of relief.

At this point, if a rotation were implemented, it would definitely be a disadvantage for his side.

Because the paralysis lasts for a long time, it does not heal slowly when you return to your Poké Ball.

Even if they leave safely, they will still be troubled by the same problem when they return to the stage.

Therefore, we have no choice but to tough it out and trust in Abbot's determination to win!

"..."

For some reason, Qingyu, who had been ignited with passion, suddenly fell into an eerie silence after a moment of contemplation.

Wait a minute, it seems like Aikanjima was dragged into the competition by me from the very beginning, so can I really trust her competitive spirit...?

No, now is not the time to think about these things!
Since we can't get energy replenishment from our opponents, we're left with only the most primitive method—

It's very simple, just let Eden push himself a little, right?
"Aiguanshi, use Shadow Ball again!"

After Qingyu decisively gave the order, she immediately added in a low voice.

I didn't want to use this move, but it seems I have no choice but to use all my trump cards today!

"As long as you defeat your opponent, you can eat whatever you want when you get back, and have a picnic with everyone in the dojo!"

"Huh?!"

Having a picnic with everyone...?
Aisin's eyes instantly cleared, and his body, which had been instinctively curled up due to the electric current, straightened up instantly.

As a reward for victory, Qingyu's promise was indeed quite attractive to it.

Just imagining a pile of sandwiches or rice balls standing like small hills on a lawn at sunset makes it subconsciously feel happiness calling to it, and its thoughts drift away to distant places.

Like Snorlax, there's an endless supply of delicious food all around you...

So happy……

So when the servant raised its head again, its gaze had become incredibly firm, and even the two horns on the sides of its head, which had been drooping, gradually rose, as if power was constantly surging from them.

Soon, it reached out again, enduring the twitching sensation in its arm, and gritted its teeth to condense a rapidly expanding ball of dark energy.

Although I have little battle experience, I will never lose to any Pokémon in my determination to win (and keep my job at the Sunnyvale Gym)!
Anyone who tries to stop me from eating their fill, get the hell out of here!!!

"Wow! Qingyu's companion suddenly unleashed an amazing aura! So it's the kind of reliable partner who gets even more excited in adversity?!"

"With such astonishing power, mere paralysis must be nothing to them!"

In the stands, Hu Tao noticed Ai Guan Shi's resolute gaze and immediately spoke up.

Sabrina, as its opponent, also noticed the change in its aura and subconsciously frowned slightly. This scene didn't seem to have appeared in any of the previously observed fragments of the future.

Was it Qingyu's whisper that had an effect?
Just one sentence is enough to ignite the Pokémon's fierce fighting spirit; no wonder it's Master Yu...

But the desire for victory is just as strong on their side!
Therefore, the outcome will not change at all!

"Eevee..."

After a slight hesitation, Nazha gritted her teeth and spoke.

"Use Morning Light."

Both Espeon and Umbreon have their own unique ways of healing.

Before the weather changes, the not-so-bright sunshine becomes the strongest logistical support for SunEevee.

Moreover, due to the influence of electromagnetic waves, its attack speed is much faster than that of Esper.

Bathed in sunlight, Espeon quickly showed an expression of enjoyment. As the sunlight washed over it, the wounds on its body gradually faded, and it soon regained its strength to a healthy level.

Her thoughts were now self-evident.

As the darling of the sun, Espeon cannot learn any Dark-type moves, and Shadow Ball, which is usually effective against Psychic-type moves, is ineffective against Absolute.

Therefore, the only way to defeat an opponent is to slowly wear them down.

By utilizing the effects of electromagnetic waves, Seibou can continuously replenish its energy, maintaining a healthy state so that it won't be instantly defeated by Esper.

At this point, all you need to do is wait for Aikan Samurai to be paralyzed, and then launch a surprise attack the moment her attack is interrupted. This will allow you to continuously deplete her stamina and slowly whittle down her chances of victory.

As Espeon quickly recovered its stamina, just as Saber had predicted, even Indeedee's full-power Shadow Ball attack failed to take it down in one hit.

Seeing this, Naz breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this playing style is a bit subtle, and I always feel like I've already lost to Teacher Yu, it's really effective.

And... for some reason, it felt strangely satisfying?
Noticing Qingyu's furrowed brows, for a fleeting moment, Naza seemed to suddenly understand Teacher Yu—

Why is it that even though he's so skilled, he always uses all sorts of outrageous tactics to torment his opponents during live streams and dojo battles?

Because it really feels great!
"..."

Compared to Sabrina's joyful expression, Aoba's expression was more like a "pain mask".

Isn't this the standard strategy for a team that's already on the defensive? How come all the players I've encountered in this Masters tournament have their own unique skills?

It's unrealistic to expect Absorb to exhaust Espeon with Dawn Surge right now.

If this drags on, something bad could easily happen. If Ai-Guan Shi lets his guard down for even a moment and gets paralyzed, interrupting his attack, the situation could turn around.

To overcome this incredibly powerful Espeon, a direct confrontation is probably out of the question. I should have had Mew teach it Precognition...

Therefore, we must find another way.

Following this line of thought, Qingyu's eyes quickly focused, and he swiftly devised a way to break the deadlock.

"Aiguansai, trait swap!"

Qingyu decisively opened her mouth.

"I see. So you want to use Ability Swap to break Espeon's likely Magic Mirror ability?"

Suddenly, A-Du on the commentary platform slapped the table, revealing his passionate side.

"As expected of Qingyu, what a genius idea! Because the target of the attribute swapping includes both the opponent and himself, it cleverly avoids the conditions for the magic reflection state to take effect!"

"It's a pity it's too late. If I could have used this move before Aisin was paralyzed, the effect would have been absolutely devastating!"

After saying this, A-Du suddenly paused, then immediately calmed down and shook his head.

"No, predicting the opponent's moves at the start is almost impossible, let alone Espeon's attack speed, which is even faster than Indeedee's. It seems we're going to take this Thunder Wave no matter what..."

"Perhaps Natsumi even considered this point."

Viewers were all amazed and impressed by A-Du's ambidextrous fighting skills.

"Although I can't understand it, he truly lives up to his reputation as Mr. Awatari!"

"I can only understand the first layer of the complex game between Teacher Yu and Miss Nazi..."

"It's okay, understanding even one layer is already pretty impressive!"

Upon hearing Qingyu's command, Sabrina, standing opposite him, immediately reacted and instinctively spoke:
"Hold on!"

However, this almost instinctive reaction quickly made her realize that she seemed to have made a harmless little mistake...

Protect can only stop Qingyu's attack once; her Espeon will still have to take the hit the same way next time.

Therefore, it's better to just use offensive moves from the start, which will also save a valuable skill slot.

Hopefully this won't be foreshadowing something...

Naz suddenly had a bad feeling and could only try to comfort herself.

Just as Sabrina had expected, after Espeon blocked Indeedee's first ability swap, Indeedee immediately repeated the same move.

This time, Naz had no choice but to confront it head-on.

Although its power is not high, it can still deplete some of Aisin's stamina.

After all, this is the last move that Espeon can use. If it doesn't use an offensive move, its threat will be instantly eliminated.

In order to weaken her opponent as much as possible, Sabrina chose to take advantage of the dissipating Psychic Field on the field to unleash a powerful wide-area attack. Even though the effect was mediocre, it still caused significant and effective damage to Indeedee.

Electromagnetic waves, morning light, defense, wide-area combat power.

At this point, Espeon's moves have all been revealed, and the ability swap also temporarily gave Indeedee the Magic Mirror ability.

At present, it seems that even if Esper has the Magic Reflection effect, it is meaningless when the opponent's moves are revealed, and the variety of moves she can use is also quite limited.

But for Qingyu, her goal had already been achieved.

"Servant, meditate!"

Noticing that the super-powered field spread out on the ground when Aigumi appeared was gradually dissipating, Aoba finally revealed a confident smile and decisively gave Aigumi instructions.

"I see……"

Zhu Lan, who was intently watching the battle, suddenly narrowed her eyes. The moment she understood Qing Yu's thoughts, she smiled.

"That's really a tactic very much in Aoba's style; it fooled everyone."

"Tsk, he really is a bad thing!"

Cattleya chimed in with a similar comment.

The viewers in the live stream were completely baffled, failing to understand their "encrypted call."

[No riddle tellers! Riddle tellers get out of the live stream!!!]

Can someone translate this? What does it mean?

Hmm, I think I understand a little bit, but I don't completely understand...

What are you doing here?

Just as the viewers were getting impatient, Gadriya spoke up and finally cleared up their doubts.

"When everyone thought that Qingyu would use the ability swap to gain the Magic Mirror ability and then use a move to bring both sides back to the same starting line, Qingyu made a very bold choice."

"From the beginning, the ability swapping was just a ruse, and the purpose was very simple—to find a way to trick Espeon into using all its moves."

"Miss Sabrina did make a slight mistake, using Guard prematurely, which wasted a skill slot, but it didn't affect the overall situation."

"Because no matter what, Qingyu will definitely guide Naz to use this move, it's just a matter of replacing it with other skills."

After saying that, Gadriya took a breath and continued her explanation.

"Only after confirming Espeon's move lock-on did Qingyu dare to let Aissagi use Meditation to strengthen herself."

"Because while most Psychic-type Pokémon can't learn Taunt and can't stop their opponents from boosting their stats, they have a simpler, more straightforward solution—"

"Self-suggestion!"

Self-suggestion, a general attribute-changing move, has the effect of applying a hypnotic suggestion effect to oneself, thereby granting oneself the same ability changes as the opponent.

This move completely renders Qingyu's enhancements useless, and the situation will remain awkward.

"But through the deliberate guidance just now, even Sabrina was completely caught off guard..."

"Qingyu's true purpose is to use the Master Rules to allow Ai Guanshi to regain the initiative!"

After she finished speaking, a look of astonishment clearly appeared on Gadriya's face, and she looked at Qingyu as if he were a monster.

"Is this really his first time participating in a formal competition under the Master Rules? How come he seems to have adapted completely so quickly, and is even starting to use the rules to create an advantage?"

"This guy's learning ability is terrifying!"

Compared to Qingyu, I feel like I'm just a beginner...

"Well, that's true."

"Miss Naz has actually done a very good job. She must have anticipated all sorts of possibilities before the competition."

"Unfortunately, her opponent this time is Qingyu. Unconventional tactics are routine for him, so the current situation has obviously exceeded Natsu's expectations."

Zhu Lan smiled and spoke, adding a couple more sentences as she did so.

"Now, Miss Naz has only two choices."

"Due to the effect of Psychic Field, the Wide Field attack just now was actually quite powerful. Even with the resistance to special attacks provided by Meditation, using it a couple more times might have given me a chance to completely defeat Aoba's Attendant."

"As for the other option... that is to rotate them directly, which is equivalent to giving Aisin a chance to enhance his safety."

"If it were me, I would definitely choose the former, at least to avoid making the situation too passive."

Just as Zhu Lan spoke, Natsumi, after careful consideration, finally reacted before Aisin could finish a meditation session—

"Eevee, Wide-Area Power!"

Like Rin, Natsume once again chose to exhaust the servant's stamina as much as possible.

After all, with its moves already locked in, Espeon's threat level is actually quite low. Rather than holding onto it and letting its teammates expend too much energy, leading to a complete defeat, it's better to go all out against Absolute now.

At least she still has Gengar as her trump card, so it's really hard to say who will win.

Next, both sides entered a very violent offensive phase.

After a meditation-enhanced buff and without the added power of Psychic Field, Espeon's wide-area attack power has been significantly reduced.

Therefore, even though Aiguan's sister's physical strength is not very good, she can still withstand its attack without much problem.

However, with the decline of one side and the rise of the other, its Shadow Ball is now extremely powerful. The Dawn Blast, which used to barely keep Espeon healthy, has now lost its effect.

Despite the continuous Shadow Ball attacks, even though Absorb's fatigue caused it to become paralyzed and interrupt its attack once, giving Espeon a chance to counterattack, the result was still not significantly affected.

Finally, after withstanding another wide-area attack from her opponent, Esper's sister managed to stay on the ground and used her last strength to unleash a deadly Shadow Ball.

After being repeatedly exhausted, Espeon had no strength left to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the attack came, closing its eyes in resentment.

With a loud "boom," Espeon collapsed to the ground.

"As expected, Qingyu's side has the upper hand."

Noticing that the Poké Ball icon light below Sabrina's portrait on the big screen had been turned off, Cynthia couldn't help but sigh.

"However... the price was not small either; victory was not as easy as before."

Not only Jia Deliya, but also the viewers in the live stream shared the same sentiment.

[To make Teacher Yu so stressed out, Miss Naz is no ordinary person; she truly deserves to be called an outstanding viewer in the live stream...]

Both sides were really pushing the limits; I never expected a match to go this far. It was incredibly exciting, the final was absolutely thrilling!

[When a master of manipulation meets another master of manipulation, belike:]

"Um..."

Seeing his opponent finally fall, Aiguanji also breathed a sigh of relief.

It simply plopped down on the ground, and while struggling to stay upright, it turned around and looked at Qingyu behind it with expectant eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ai Guan Shi."

With a smile, Qingyu gave the hero a thumbs-up and then whispered something.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely keep my promise to you when we get back to Sunny Gym!"

"Now, let's come back and get some rest."

After saying that, Qingyu took out a Poké Ball, retrieved the almost burnt-out Aisman, and showed a helpless smile.

For Esper, the obsession with food is indeed greater than anything else; he can still unleash his full power to this extent even when he is clearly being targeted.

In a sense, it is quite pure.

"..."

Compared to Qingyu's relaxed and cheerful demeanor, Naz didn't seem too downcast, as if the defeat hadn't caused any cracks in her mentality.

Considering the opponent was Teacher Yu, it's actually quite good that they performed like this...

Although it wasn't a one-for-one trade, the actual effect was pretty much the same. With Aisume's sister's stamina nearing its limit, there was basically no possibility of her going back into battle.

However, even this is not enough.

After recalling the fallen Espeon with its eyes glowing golden, Sabrina immediately took out her second Poké Ball, and her gaze towards Qingyu became incredibly focused.

"Teacher Yu, I'm going to go all out now."

"If possible, I hope you can also show your full strength."

"Let me see just how big the gap is between myself and the real genius, Teacher Yu."

After saying that, without waiting for Qingyu's response, Sabrina threw out her second Poké Ball.

It's not hard to guess Naz's choice from what she just said.

She was the absolute core of the team, overwhelming the opponent with her Shadow Tag ability after Mega Evolution and extremely violent output.

Gengar!

Seeing that Naz had already reached out and grabbed the keystone necklace around her neck, Qingyu instantly understood.

Is she planning to use Mega Mewtwo to have a head-on clash with her...?

Since that's the case, Qingyu naturally had no reason to refuse.

So, seeing the expectant look in Naza's eyes, he quickly smiled and spoke:
"If I spoil the mood in this kind of atmosphere, no one will forgive me, right?"

"So... next, please try your best to hold on for a while longer, and don't let the battle end so quickly~"

After saying that, Qingyu took out a second Poké Ball from his pocket and threw it while making a similar gesture to Sabrina's.

Raise your right hand high, and place the two fingers of your left hand in a V-shape on both sides of the key stone on the wristband.

As the red light flashed and Mewtwo made its dazzling entrance, the two trainers on the field simultaneously shouted:

"Show your greatest strength / Respond to my expectations!"

"Gengar/Mewtwo!"

"Mega Evolution!!!"

In an instant, two beams of evolutionary light appeared simultaneously, completely enveloping the entire battlefield and making it impossible for the spectators outside to see what was happening inside.

Until about ten seconds later.

As the dazzling light gradually faded, Mewtwo and Gengar appeared in even more powerful forms, staring at each other with eyes full of fighting spirit.
