You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 379 Teacher Yu, you're quite the all-rounder!
While Qingyu and Nemo were playing their game, the students watching all showed great respect for Nemo.

"Although I don't know her very well, I have to say, this Nemo is really brave!"

"Teacher Yu hates it when challengers use skills that destroy the terrain... It seems like Tuotuoyin's eyes changed after he used Dig, it's so scary!"

"However, does anyone know what Teacher Yu is trying to do?"

"Hmm... I remember that Teacher Yu's Sylveon's ability is Fairy Skin, right? Even if it uses Mega Sound to penetrate the ground and attack Worm, its power should still be quite average..."

"It might be a mistake for anyone else, but if it's Teacher Yu, it must be because our level is not up to par and we didn't understand his ideas!"

"To be honest, that's true. I hope Nemo is alright."

If we disregard other factors and only look at the Pokémon and moves used by both sides, the situation is indeed as the students thought.

Loud Roar, a Normal-type move.

It attacks by giving the opponent a loud and powerful vibration, and while having an extremely wide attack range, it even has the ability to penetrate Stands.

Under the influence of Sylveon's Fairy skin ability, the power of its moves will be increased and it will change to the noble Fairy type.

Because Sylveon is more adept at using fairy energy, the actual power of this move will vary more significantly than the data suggests.

Therefore, in many situations, the benefits brought by the demon skin are quite considerable.

But not now.

Worm is a Steel-type Pokémon with excellent natural resistance to Fairy Energy. In addition, the ground also disperses the power of moves to some extent, so it should be of little use to Worm.

However, since Qingyu chose this move, he must have his own unique understanding of it.

Upon hearing Qingyu's command, Sylveon instantly understood.

It immediately trotted towards the opponent's field, opened its mouth wide, and roared at the hole it had left when it entered the field.

"Buy!!!"ヽ(#`Д)

In an instant, piercing sound waves penetrated the air and stimulated everyone's eardrums, and their brains began to vibrate.

Fortunately, the students covered their ears in time, which temporarily shut out the "hellish cute sound" emitted by Sylveon.

So cute... but also so scary!
If even the students who were merely affected by the aftershocks were like this, it goes without saying that the worms buried deep underground were even worse off.

Then, under Qingyu's calm gaze, a strong tremor soon came from beneath the ground, as if the Tuotuo worm was struggling in a sorry state after being attacked.

"..."

Seeing this, Nemo frowned in confusion and looked at Qingyu.

Even if Teacher Yu's Pokémon are all very powerful, with the power of Sylveon's move, it shouldn't be enough to make Worm look like it's in so much pain, right?

"As I said, the ground is also a good medium for sound, and you should learn that when you go back to Orange Academy for a make-up class later."

"Furthermore, the Pokémon Worm is quite special."

Without Nemo needing to speak, Qingyu proactively smiled and offered an explanation.

"As a Pokémon that mainly lives underground and feeds on iron in the soil, Worm itself does not have an organ for hearing sounds."

"But on the other hand, its surface cells are highly sensitive to their surroundings, and therefore extremely sensitive to changes in the environment."

"Therefore, when the loud noise causes the soil around it to vibrate violently, its senses will quickly become disordered."

"Furthermore, the burrowing marks it leaves behind act as a natural amplifier, so even if a loud noise doesn't have a significant effect on the Tuotuoworm, it can immediately sense the danger, and thus—"

"I crawled out instinctively."

As soon as Qingyu finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and a red metal head suddenly emerged from the continuously shaking ground.

Just as he had predicted, the worm that had burrowed underground had indeed returned to the surface.

Its pupils had even begun to dilate, and its head was shaking, somewhat resembling a state of confusion.

"..."

There was an eerie silence at first, then one of the students started clapping, and soon cheers erupted from the field outside the Sunshine Dojo.

"As expected of Teacher Yu, was this part of your calculations???"

"If I remember correctly, this involves knowledge of physics and biology, which are separate disciplines from combat, right? Teacher Yu, I didn't know you were such a jack-of-all-trades..."

"As expected, the nickname was correct. Teacher Yu really did look like a 'teacher' just now!"

Although a significant number of students didn't quite understand what Teacher Yu meant, since the result was the same as what he said, it proved that Teacher Yu was right.

While the Pokémon world does have some idealistic elements, it is relatively scientific, and Pokémon schools in various regions teach students basic academic knowledge.

But as everyone knows, the first thing after enrolling in Orange Academy is to go on a treasure hunt throughout Padonia, challenging various gyms along the way.

So... it's normal that they couldn't quite understand Qingyu's thoughts before the Road to Champion ended and the students returned to Orange Academy for make-up classes next semester.

After all, although Qingyu looks young, the theoretical knowledge he inherited from his previous life is absolutely overwhelming for most Pokémon students who are no more than 15 years old.

Even Nemo is the same.

"Hmm... I don't quite understand, but anyway, Teacher Qingyu broke this move, right?"

Nemo awkwardly scratched the striking green highlights on her forehead, but quickly regained her energy and punched her right palm with her left hand.

"Then we'll have to take it by force!"

"Cheer up, drag the worm!"

After Nemo shouted, the still dazed Tuotuo worm suddenly jolted awake, and its body, half-hidden in the ground, instantly emerged.

Good heavens, is this the legendary "Rejuvenation Roar" exclusive to the protagonist?
Seeing this, Qingyu secretly raised an eyebrow.

He had initially thought that Tuotuo Yin would fall into complete chaos, but he didn't expect it to recover so easily...

However, it didn't have a significant impact on the overall situation.

"Wasu, use Iron Tail to attack in one go, don't give Sylveon a chance to dodge!"

"Sylveon, use Quick Attack to dodge, then use Sunny Day."

The two sides clashed again, and this time Nemo chose to take the initiative and launch a decisive attack, while Qingyu switched to the defensive side and calmly directed the attack.

The worm has a huge body, so it can swing its tail over a wide range, but because of this, it can only twist its body very slowly.

This gave the fairy Ibra the opportunity to create distance.

"Buyi!"

After surveying the surroundings and identifying a safe landing spot, Sylveon used a flash of lightning to propel itself away at such speed that Worm had no time to react.

While other characters use Quick Attack to close the distance and launch a quick attack, Sylveon uses it in the opposite way, making it its most common method for dodging attacks.

Seeing Sylveon dodge and immediately prepare to gather energy, Nemo reacted instantly—

Sylveon itself may not have a good way to deal with Worm, but once the weather turns sunny, the power of the Weather Ball is definitely enough to threaten it.

I believe that Teacher Qingyu thinks so too.

Therefore, she made a decisive decision. "Tuotuoworm, use tail severance!"

Upon receiving instructions from its trainer, Worm, which was about to continue waving its tail to attack its opponent, immediately stopped.

Then, the tail, which is the last segment of the worm's body, suddenly broke off on its own and immediately separated from the body, quickly forming the Substitute Pokémon doll that the trainer recognized very well.

As for the body of the worm, Nemo took the opportunity to collect it into her ball.

Logically, when a Pokémon leaves the arena, its Substitute, having lost its power source, should also disappear immediately.

However, even after Nemo threw the Poké Ball again, the motionless little monster on the field remained unchanged.

"The rest is up to you, Lycanroc!"

Along with Nemo's voice appeared a wolf Pokémon with light brown and white fur and imposing pale blue eyes.

Lycanroc, a Rock-type, is a member of the Sandstorm team and is a typical fast attacker.

Depending on the weather during its evolution, Lycanroc will present three different appearances. As for Nemo, who is crawling on all fours and looks more like a Rockdog, it is clearly the "daytime appearance".

Information about it immediately flashed through Qingyu's mind, while at the same time he also paid attention to the last substitute left behind by Tuotuo Yin.

Tail-cutting is a survival instinct possessed by very few Pokémon. Besides Worm, only Sceptile and Lizard can learn it.

Although doing so will consume a lot of energy, it allows the worm to leave behind a substitute when it leaves the field, giving it an advantage for the next Pokémon to perform.

As long as a substitute exists, it can at least help block one attack, and the Pokémon that enters the field can take the opportunity to strengthen itself.

It's a good move because it combines the dual functions of rotation and protecting teammates.

Qingyu originally thought that Nemo would send out the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, but she also had her reasons for choosing the Mane Rock Werewolf instead.

such as--

"Lycoon, hide behind your substitute and use Sword Dance!"

Nemo quickly revealed her thoughts.

Using the substitute left behind by the worm, Lycanroc, which already had a speed advantage, was able to complete its power-up first, and then overwhelmed Sylveon with its surge in combat power.

The idea is good, but a little naive.

"Sylveon, use Mega Sound again."

Qingyu calmly gave the order.

Perhaps Nemo was playing it safe, not daring to gamble that Worm would complete its tail-severing escape sequence before Sylveon could use Weather Ball, or perhaps she simply wanted to leave her Stand so that Lycanroc could make its move.

But she clearly overlooked one point.

That means Stands can be directly penetrated by sound-based attacks.

"Buyi!"

Sylveon immediately realized what was happening and opened its mouth again, letting out a roar.

This attack not only blasted the Stand left behind by the worm into nothingness, but also caused extremely terrifying damage to the Lycanroc that had just completed its Sword Dance.

With a snap, the ribbon tied to the mane rock werewolf's tail suddenly broke.

"Hiss—it's actually an aura sash?"

"That makes sense. Lycanroc doesn't have much durability to begin with, and Sylveon's attack just now might have really knocked it out instantly, which is why the Focus Sash came in handy."

"But what good is it if it still has some energy left? Sylveon can't withstand a single Thunderbolt, can it?"

Many students couldn't understand Nemo's ideas.

This back and forth resulted in maximum losses. Not only did it not harm Teacher Yu's Sylveon, but it also caused Totoro to lose a lot of stamina, and even Lycanroc's stamina was like a candle in the wind, and it could collapse at any time.

After all, Teacher Yu had already shown off the "Loud Voice" move before, so isn't it a bit too careless to be completely unprepared?
"Sylveon, finish with Quick Attack."

Qingyu didn't think much of it. After seeing the mane rock werewolf struggle to get up from the ground, he immediately ordered the finishing blow.

Against the fast-moving Lycanroc, it's obviously safer to use Quick Attack.

However, he frowned when he noticed Nemo's calm, even slightly excited, expression.

What is Nemo thinking?
Soon, the answer was revealed—

"Rockwere, use Iron Head to charge straight in!"

Seeing that Sylveon had already rushed into her half of the field, closing the distance to a delicate range where Lycanroc would be able to attack even if she immediately turned around, Nemo immediately spoke up excitedly.

Yes, it's a trap!
From the moment she sent out Lycanroc, Nemo had been thinking about how to deal with Yu-sensei's Sylveon.

Those who frequently clash with Pokémon should know that speed is also an important component of the power of melee moves.

Furthermore, since forces are reciprocal, the faster Sylveon is, the more painful Lycanroc's Iron Head will be if it manages to withstand the attack, so it can definitely severely injure Sylveon.

Even if Sylveon stops in time, Lycanroc's Swords Dance attack is powerful enough to kill it instantly.

Although it seems like I'm losing out by doing this, there's no better option right now. The other Pokémon in the team have no chance against Sylveon, so I can only let Lycanroc have to take it down.

Soon, the two extremely fast Pokémon collided.

There was a muffled thud.

Despite being of similar size, they did not engage in any physical struggle. The moment their heads touched, they both lost consciousness, clutching their foreheads with their paws and collapsing to the ground, unable to rise again.

"..."

Qingyu's lips began to twitch slightly.

I don't think I taught Nemo this kind of move that kills eight hundred enemies but also injures a thousand of my own.
It feels like this kid is learning too many different things... no, it should be said that he's going too wild.

However, the results were surprisingly good.

Sylveon, who thought she could wear Nemo down for a while longer, was actually defeated in a one-for-one trade by Nemo's self-destruct attack.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sylveon."

After sighing, Qingyu immediately withdrew Sylveon, who was covering her forehead and had tears in her eyes, and looked at Nemo, whose expression was equally complicated, and spoke calmly.

"Next, I'll use Lucario."

"It seems you've made quite a few preparations beforehand, so now go ahead and show me what you've got."

"If I'm not mistaken... you'll use the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, right?"

Upon hearing Qingyu's words, Nemo felt a surge of excitement, but quickly revealed a somewhat guilty smile.

"Is it that obvious? It really can't be hidden from Teacher Qingyu after all."

"Then, this child is my choice!"

As Nemo spoke and threw out a Poké Ball, Qingyu did the same.

"Go, Lucario!"
