Chapter 365: Teacher Yu is the real numerical monster!

After the white light symbolizing evolution dissipated, Qingyu, who was still maintaining the gesture, quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the commotion caused by Mewtwo's evolution was big enough that probably no one would notice that their Key Stone wasn't glowing at all.

That's right. Although Qingyu had already used Mega Evolution with Mewtwo in the previous semi-finals, it seems that the process was pretty much the same whether he was there or not...

After all, Mewtwo didn't have its own Mega Stone, and Aoba didn't know where to find it. From the beginning, the premise that trainers could transfer power to Pokémon through the connection between Key Stones and Evolution Stones was impossible.

As for how Mewtwo managed to do it, Aoba didn't know either.

After yesterday's match, the sharp-eyed Cattleya had already noticed this and reminded him.

However, because this evolutionary phenomenon is too unconventional and feels like it would only bring trouble to himself and Mewtwo, Qingyu has no plans to announce it for the time being.

That's why he meticulously designed this move to maximize his ability to conceal himself from other viewers when using Mega Evolution; everyone probably just thought he was showing off.

So far, the results seem to be quite successful.

Qingyu nodded in satisfaction, then lowered his right hand that was raised to the sky and looked down at the front of him.

After transforming into Mega Mewtwo Y at the start of the match, Mewtwo maintained a serious expression, calmly watching the enormous purple creature in the center of the opponent's field.

Gengar is a very powerful Pokémon in the Ghost series, not to mention that it has also shown a brand new Mega Evolution form.

Mewtwo had a strong impression of Mega Gengar because it had seen it in the game before.

It is incredibly fast, has abundant firepower, and also possesses very troublesome characteristics.

Thinking of this, it immediately lowered its head and surveyed the surrounding area.

As expected.

The moment Mega Gengar appeared, its shadow came to life, extending in all directions at a terrifying speed and quickly covering the entire area, devouring and locking down all shadows within its range.

A strange sensation quickly came from beneath her feet, causing Mewtwo to frown.

Once locked on, the shadow seems to have temporarily lost the ability to leave the area, unless it has a means to move freely within the shadows...

so troublesome.

"However, if I defeat you, all the problems will be solved, right?"

"Thinking about it this way, it seems much simpler."

Mewtwo raised its head again, extended a finger toward Mega Gengar, and its upturned smile looked very provocative.

"Mewtwo, Psychic Breaker!"

Qingyu immediately understood and made a decisive command.

Mega Gengar is undoubtedly a powerful offensive turret. Its terrifying special attack and impressive speed make it extremely difficult to deal with, especially in actual battles.

However, every Pokémon has weaknesses, and Gengar's problem lies in its durability.

Most Ghost Pokémon have relatively low HP, and even Gengar, which looks very sturdy, cannot escape this characteristic.

After all, Mega Evolution has a negligible impact on a Pokémon's HP, so even if overall durability is improved, this problem remains very obvious.

Therefore, the best way to deal with Mega Gengar is—

Use the output to overwhelm it!

If it were a head-on collision, Mewtwo's small size would actually be the one that wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

As a legendary Pokémon, its impressive durability allows it to employ fast-paced, attrition-based attacks, making it an absolute match for Gengar.

"Gengar, create some distance. If you can't dodge, use Protect to block!"

Naza quickly realized that she couldn't win by directly attacking Qingyu, so she chose to observe Qingyu's arrangements first.

"Kou Jie!"

As Mega Gengar burrowed into the shadows and fled backward, Mewtwo clenched its raised right hand, and a surge of psychic energy instantly solidified, quickly materializing above its head.

"boom--!"

With a speed that cuts through the air and bursts forth instantly, even faster than a sonic boom, the Psychic Blade flew out. Relying on Mewtwo's psychic perception, it accurately captured Gengar's exact location and attacked the opponent at full speed like a wave missile.

"Kou Jie?!"

Gengar, which had been lurking in the shadows and thought it could escape, was taken aback. It immediately gathered its power to form an invisible barrier that attached itself to the ground.

What should have been a clash between spear and shield turned out to be nothing more than an unexpected reversal.

When the two powerful energies from Mewtwo and Gengar collided, they quickly shattered, leaving behind crystals made purely of energy on the ground, which eventually dissipated slowly.

"I see……"

Seeing that Gengar's physical form was still hidden in the shadows, Qingyu quickly understood Sabrina's thoughts.

In the previous semi-final, Gosho had tried to use his Stand to block Mega Mewtwo's fierce attack in order to buy himself a chance to catch his breath.

However, Mewtwo saw through his plan at a glance and used its powerful and exaggerated psychic abilities to forcibly change the trajectory of the attack, instantly finishing off Metagross with a counterattack.

Like Lucario, this move puts more pressure on the opponent's defense, and they may even have to choose to fight Mewtwo head-on to avoid losing out.

However, there is indeed a unique way to counter Gengar.

Gengar is both a Ghost-type Pokémon and has the ability to easily travel between different dimensions.

Using this ability, it can completely hide its main body underground, so that Mewtwo's attack trajectory cannot be significantly altered under any circumstances.

In this way, holding the line will make it easy to stop them.

As expected of Sabrina, she has an absolute grasp of Pokémon's characteristics and has even developed corresponding strategies...

Qingyu shook her head.

But if that's all there is to it, it's just prolonging its existence.

Mewtwo's offensive won't stop just because it's blocked once.

"Mewtwo, keep using Psychic Strike!"

Qingyu spoke again, and Naz gave the same instruction.

"Geng Gui, same fate!"

Her voice immediately made Qingyu frown, and Mewtwo also reacted instantly, retracting its raised arm and interrupting its attack.

"Tsk, they actually pull this stunt."

As Qingyu shook his head helplessly, a complex meaning appeared in his eyes as he looked at Nazi.

As expected of someone who came from their own live stream, they're ruthless!

With Mewtwo's fighting power, a single Psychic Strike could easily defeat Gengar, and even leave it with a significant amount of stamina.

After all, psychic powers are very effective against Gengar's poison type.

But because of this, they were tricked by Naz.

If Mewtwo were to intervene now, and Gengar could use Destiny Bond, a one-for-one exchange would inevitably occur.

Reality isn't a game. Speed ​​does have an impact, but who can say for sure? At least Qingyu and Mewtwo are on the same page; neither of them wants to gamble on a risk that can be completely avoided.

Therefore, the situation has become slightly delicate.

Fortunately, Mewtwo's fighting power is still reliable. If it were any other attacker that couldn't instantly defeat Gengar, Sabrina would probably be chanting Perish Song...

With the combination of End Song and Destiny Bond, plus holding on to stall for time, at worst, they can exchange blows with their own side.

How did she even come up with this tactic?!

After roughly guessing what Sabrina was thinking, Qingyu silently complained to himself.

However, for Mewtwo, dealing with Gengar's messy moves is still quite simple.

"Geng Gui, the song of the end!"

"Mewtwo, Taunt." Sabrina's command was as expected, and Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that even Sabrina's ability to foresee the future has its limits. By now, she probably has no idea what she should do next.
Because she had planned to use this tactic to deal with Mewtwo from the beginning, she also benefited from the misfortune and had a safe opportunity to provoke it.

The advantage of a rich skill pool in actual combat is well demonstrated in the Master Rules.

With Mewtwo's powerful move learning capabilities, whatever Sabrina's plans, he can quickly react and find a suitable solution.

Just like when I commanded Dream...

This kind of superhuman experience is so awesome!

The two sides clashed again soon after.

"Kou Jie~"

After emerging half its head from the shadows, the Mega Gengar, with its slightly pointed head, opened its enormous mouth and began to sing a strange song that, while somewhat cute, sent chills down one's spine.

However, as soon as its song began, Yu Guang was unconsciously drawn to Mewtwo on the other side of the field, and subconsciously turned his gaze to it.

Mewtwo was gently twitching its finger, watching it with a mocking gaze, as if it were taunting it.

For some reason, a nameless fire suddenly rose in Gengar's heart, and it abandoned its original plan, thus abruptly stopping its song.

"As expected, if I want to use a new tactic against Qingyu, I still need to plan more carefully."

Suddenly, A-Du spoke up from the commentary booth.

"It's not that Miss Sabrina's decision was wrong. In fact, it's quite ingenious to come up with such a tactic. It's just that her opponent happened to be someone who was even more proficient in it..."

"Miss Naza's plan not only failed to achieve its effect by relying on information asymmetry, but was also immediately cracked by Qingyu."

"And no one expected that Mewtwo was still hiding a provocation..."

The commentary ended there, and A-Du shook his head helplessly.

As expected of a Pokémon created from the Mew gene, Qingyu's incredible learning ability has been fully developed, turning it into a terrifying monster...

However, apart from Qingyu, there may be no other trainer who can make Mewtwo lower its guard and fully accept him as its trainer in a short period of time.
Fortunately, I entrusted it to Qingyu back then.

When Qingyu commanded Mewtwo to use Taunt, the battle between the absolute cores of both sides was already over.

The reason is also very simple.

Mewtwo and Gengar have similar damage output and are also counters each other, making it a very risky situation.

Kanna had no idea just how resilient the small-sized Mewtwo Y really was...

Perhaps due to the fusion of excellent human genes, Mewtwo is a Pokémon with a very strong physique, and even has a Mega Evolution form that focuses on power.

Therefore, even if it's Gengar's Shadow Ball or other moves, Qingyu is confident that Mewtwo can withstand them!
Qingyu's gaze darted back and forth between Mewtwo and Gengar, finally revealing a smile.

This information gap, though seemingly subtle, was enough to secure victory.

"Mewtwo, Psychic Breaker!"

Gengar... Shadow Ball!

After hesitating for a moment, Naz hesitated for a moment before deciding to suppress the unease that had been creeping into her heart since earlier and make the decision to attack.

If you rotate the Pokémon at this point, the Pokémon that comes out will be no match for Mewtwo, and Gengar will still soon have to face this very troublesome Mewtwo...

So, we have no choice but to give it our all!

"It looks like this is the last resort."

After Mewtwo, now considerably smaller, delivered its final verdict, it gazed at Mega Gengar, which was dragging its body out of the shadows and gathering powerful shadow energy in its mouth, and slowly raised its hands.

As before, the supersonic psychic creation flew out instantly, arriving right in front of Gengar the same moment it launched its Shadow Ball.

Two thunderous booms rang out in succession, and the entire battlefield was immediately covered by smoke generated by the bursts of attacks, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that the terrifying explosions, which had gradually subsided, finally stopped.

As the smoke cleared, Mewtwo remained standing, maintaining its stance of blocking the opponent's attack with both hands.

Although she still appeared calm, but...

Its front end is several meters long, with very obvious drag marks indicating that it has experienced intense friction, and even its body surface has some scratches.

However, compared to Mewtwo, Sabrina's Gengar clearly suffered a more terrifying impact.

In the center of Sabrina's half of the field, with Gengar lying on the ground and regressed to its original form as the center, a shocking hole extends deep into the ground and even far beyond the field's boundaries.

"Gengar...Gengar is unable to battle!!!"

Even the professional Ms. Walnut was clearly affected by this terrifying scene when she spoke, and she started to stutter slightly.

As she announced this, Sabrina's second Poké Ball on the big screen went out.

[No way, isn't Teacher Yu the real stat monster? Mewtwo just wiped out the opponent again, that's outrageous!]

[Statistical anomaly? You've already forgotten about the battle between Absolute and Espeon? Maybe the opponent was too weak, and Yu-sensei didn't even have the mind to take it seriously, so he usually just plays around with tactics to amuse everyone...]

[Now that you mention it, it's true. Teacher Yu has both impressive stats and a well-developed system; it's amazing how a combination of muscle and brain can exist in one person!]

In the live stream, viewers who witnessed this scene quickly gained a new understanding of Qingyu.

Meanwhile, the students of Padia were once again on the verge of tears.

[Teacher Yu, please stop! If you keep fighting like this, no one will be able to get past the champion this year...]

"call--"

Mewtwo breathed a sigh of relief and silently put his hands behind his back.

At this moment, it has to admit...

It seems I underestimated my opponent a little. Gengar's Shadow Ball move is a bit tricky even for it.

If the power were greater, it might not be a scar, but a bleeding wound.

Fortunately, Qingyu was not disappointed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mewtwo."

Upon noticing its subtle movements, Qingyu immediately smiled knowingly.

"Now, let's leave it to Lucario."

With the score at 2-0, the outcome is basically decided.

Therefore, he chose to let Mega Mew return to the Poké Ball for a short rest, giving Lucario a chance to compete.

"..."

Naz fell silent again.

If the first battle was a difference in the trainers' skill level, then the battle just now was a complete crushing defeat in terms of experience and Pokémon strength.

The gap between myself and Teacher Yu is indeed still too big...

Perhaps because she had already anticipated this, Naz didn't seem too discouraged.

After all, losing to Teacher Yu is not shameful.

Since we've already reached the final step, let's not think too much and just enjoy it.

and so……

"I choose you, Alakazam!"

As Sabrina threw the Poké Ball, Qingyu pulled the trigger.

"So, my choice is—"

"Lucario!"
