You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 386 Ye Ci: Qingyu is the future of Padia!
Qingyu had no idea what was happening in Galar, nor was he aware that a handsome, dark-skinned man had been secretly watching him.

After defeating Dan and briefly reviewing the game, he quickly started a few more ranked matches.

Perhaps because it's a doubles match, there aren't that many high-scoring players who frequently rank up in this mode, so the subsequent opponents were mostly familiar faces to Qingyu.

The game gradually became absurd.

First, they used a Trick Room team plus Shroomish to counter their own Gravity Hypnosis master, and then a few geniuses came along who wanted to use priority moves to deal with Psychic Rumblebee.

but……

When assembling the team, Qingyu had already thought of different solutions for facing various lineups.

You like using Shroomish-type mushrooms, right? You like using Arrowhead and Brave Bird to charge in, right?
"Turn the tide, my sweet and cold queen!"

When Qingyu sent out this Pokémon that had previously been largely ignored by viewers, Qingyu's fans suddenly realized—

[Holy crap, so Yu-sensei only used three Pokémon to beat Leon, and even let Leon win with a Sweetie Queen from the back row!]

So what exactly is this Pokémon for? I've never seen it before in Kanto!

[This Grass-type Pokémon appears to have been first discovered in Alola and is also widely distributed in Galar and Padina. It's said that some beauty salons use it as a selling point...]

Is your beauty treatment... serious?

The Pokémon Sweetie is indeed relatively unfamiliar to trainers in most regions.

Even though it theoretically has a habitat in the Galar region, the Giant Rock Field is relatively dangerous, and many wild Pokémon with the power of Dynamax build nests nearby, so not many people have actually seen it.

But soon, with the arrival of Selena Gomez, they quickly understood the purpose of this Pokémon.

[Wait... why couldn't Sweet Cold Queen use her Brave Bird Attack after just glaring at her opponent? ? ? ]

[A sweet and cool queen's solo pusher has appeared uninvited. The answer is actually quite simple—one of the Queen's common traits is "Queen's Majesty," which prevents opponents from using their priority moves when the Queen is on the field!]

【My goodness, Your Majesty!】

[Hiss... Why do I suddenly feel a little satisfied after being glared at by the sweet and aloof queen?]

Something's off, sis!

In fact, this scene appeared more than once throughout the live broadcast.

Whether it's Sableye's Mischievous Heart, Talonflame's Gale Wings, or even Dragonite's Extreme Speed ​​at maximum speed, they all seem utterly laughable in front of Sweet & Cold Queen.

"In conclusion, Sweetie is a Pokémon with a very clear advantage in countering Pokémon."

After easily winning several games and racking up points from the viewers, Qingyu gave a brief summary of Tian Lengmei's performance.

"Although most of the time the opponent will not fall for the trap, if you are sure that the opponent will use a preemptive move, you can suddenly send out Sweet & Reiko to take away most of the moves, thus making the opponent's mentality explode."

"It's great for fun lineups that are afraid of priority moves, and the one-way priority move blocking effect is easier to use than Psychic Terrain."

"Besides the tactical value provided by the Queen's Majesty trait, Sweetie Queen's own offensive capabilities are also excellent. As a Grass-type, it can even learn Triple Slash. Such information gaps may play a role in turning the tide of battle at crucial moments."

[Teacher Yu... This might have been a rather obscure piece of trivia before you mentioned it, but now that you've said it, it'll probably spread all over the world very soon!]

[Yes, yes, now everyone on Earth knows. Teacher Yu's information network is really outdated~]

[Want to be hit by a triple spin attack from a sweet, cold beauty... or even a flying knee kick!]

Viewers were already used to Qingyu suddenly pulling out an unfamiliar Pokémon and analyzing its conventional logic at length.

So far, it seems that Teacher Yu has not used the same routines much, and the Pokémon he uses are all kinds of strange and wonderful.

If he could update more frequently, he might be able to introduce all the Pokémon currently known in the Pokédex within a year or two...

However, it is obviously impossible.

"By breeding with other Grass-type Pokémon or by directly using Imitation Vanilla, Sweetie can learn the very useful Photosynthesis..."

When the minute hand struck the 6 mark again, Qingyu, who had been rambling on and on about the tricks that Tian Lengmei used, suddenly snapped to attention and then waved happily.

"Time to go home!"

"Well then, everyone, see you next week!"

【What? Not even a second longer? Finish what you were saying first!】

[Are you there? You truly are the most dedicated streamer!]

[Although we can roughly guess it's photosynthesis, Teacher Yu's typing speed is just unbelievable...]

If only we could give bad reviews in the live stream, I'd make sure you got a flood of negative feedback!

……

Because the tactics of this Gravity Hypnosis team were rather entertaining, and it was also a doubles match that wasn't very familiar to everyone, Qingyu's live stream and videos didn't generate much buzz.

Of course, Qingyu was happy to have this.

Since becoming the owner of the museum, he has come to understand his overworked senior, Aoki, more and more.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication—such a simple yet profound statement…

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, a peaceful and leisurely life is always intoxicating and captivating.

And so, over the next few days, Qingyu enjoyed his daily life while also taking time to suppress the genius teenagers who came to challenge him.

Time quickly came to Friday, December 10th.

Today, the newly opened Sunshine Dojo immediately welcomed a distinguished guest.

"Long time no see, Qingyu."

When Qingyu opened the dojo door and suddenly saw the black-haired woman smiling and greeting him, he was completely dumbfounded.

It felt like someone had dropped a flashbang into my head...

"President Yeci?!"

After finally realizing what was happening, Qingyu's tone became somewhat strange, and she subconsciously began to think—

Did I do something wrong during this period that even President Ye Ci, who is busy in the league and wished he could work 24 hours a day, was alarmed?
That can't be right. Apart from going to the Psychic Masters Tournament, haven't I always stayed in the gym and never gone out?

Oh, wait!

Could it be that……

Is it because the recent special assessment requirements were too high, leading to a collective complaint from students?

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with the students."

Noticing Qingyu's increasingly embarrassed expression, Yeci quickly saw through his thoughts and explained with a smile.

"Although Sunshine Dojo's negative review rate has always been... outstanding, considering that your assessment mode is also quite special, the alliance will not interfere too much with your decision-making."

“Aside from the negative reviews, Sunshine Dojo actually has a surprisingly good reputation among students, a point that even Hachisaku often mentions to me.”

"As a new gym leader, you have done an excellent job in maintaining high popularity and gaining the trust of students."

"..." Qingyu felt that Ci was praising her, but she inexplicably felt that she was being sarcastic.

What do you mean by ignoring the negative reviews?!

Of course, faced with this only sun in Padia, Qingyu's complaints could only remain as muttered thoughts in his mind.

"I'm here mainly for three things."

Seeing that Ye Ci quickly got to the point, Qing Yu, who knew they were going to talk about serious matters, immediately stood at attention, waiting for Ye Ci to continue.

"First of all, on behalf of the Padia League, I would like to congratulate you, Qingyu, on your outstanding performance in the Superpower Master Tournament."

"When you suddenly said you wanted to participate in the Attribute Master Tournament, I thought you were just going to practice on a big stage. I never expected that you would actually bring back the championship trophy on your first participation..."

Ye Ci's tone carried a hint of surprise, but more so, a sense of relief.

"As a reward for the newcomer, I have granted the Sunshine Gym's account the highest level of access on behalf of the league and transferred enough LP to redeem a Master Ball."

"I hope you can continue your efforts and grow into an excellent trainer who can shoulder the future of Padia."

After hearing Ye Ci's words, Qing Yu's first reaction was—

The league really went all out this time!
LP (League Point) was a union payment point exclusive to Padiyah, used in daily life to replace currency payments, and could be considered a union currency in another sense.

As for Masterball...

Anyone who has played Pokémon games knows that this thing is amazing.

As a product of cutting-edge technology from Silver Corporation, the largest manufacturer of Poké Balls, the Master Ball not only boasts an exaggerated catch rate of 100% success against any Pokémon in theory, but is also advertised as being able to catch legendary Pokémon.

Of course, what the facts are is another matter entirely.

At least in the game, using a Master Ball to catch a turtle is indeed half the battle won.

Moreover, Silver's inexplicable confidence demonstrates the power of Masterball.

Unfortunately, the materials used to make Masterballs are very special, which makes it impossible to increase production, making them exceptionally rare.

I heard that to redeem a Master Ball within the league, you not only need to unlock the highest level of access, but also need points accumulated by a top player over a year.

I doubt the entire Parthian League has much stock left...

Qingyu was truly surprised that Yeci could be so generous.

However, perhaps she was also afraid that Cynthia would lead her back to Sinnoh?
Qingyu hadn't actually thought about that at all.

After all, Sinnoh already has the standard setup of eight gyms and four Elite Four members. In fact, Padia needs him more right now, so running away with a bucket at this time is a bit...

Besides, he's almost a superstar himself, and he's built a "deep" bond with the students of Orange Academy. He can't bear to part with Sunshine Dojo, the warm home full of memories.

There can only be one sun in the sky, and in my heart there is only one sun, Yeci!
"The second thing, Xinli should have already talked to you about before."

While Qingyu was pondering, Yeci quickly continued the conversation.

"During the summer's Champion's Road assessment, Qingyu, you will serve as the temporary King and become the students' first examiner."

After a moment of silence, Ye Ci suddenly added a sentence with a complicated expression.

"Hmm... I'll still remind you, don't go overboard and make it impossible for the other newcomers to pass. Just make sure the later Heavenly Kings also feel a sense of participation."

"Although we have high expectations for this year's champion, we can put aside the fact that we can't enter Zone Zero. With Aoki guarding Jinhui Town, there shouldn't be any problems in the short term."

"If all the students are eliminated, it will greatly affect the teaching in the second half of the year and even dampen their morale for participating in the championship next year."

"……clear."

Qingyu nodded, her expression also somewhat strained.

Where did this stereotype come from...?

I'm not some kind of devil, of course I know to go easy on them!

However, the reason why Sunshine Dojo has a low pass rate is not because they are not being lenient, but because they have tried their best to create openings, but the students just don't notice!
Especially with the recently opened "Teacher Tianwang Yu" assessment, even Nemo, who has performed relatively well, is still a bit lacking in Qingyu's opinion if she wants to surpass him and become the champion, and needs to further improve her strength.

As for the other students...

All I can say is that there is still a lot of room for growth.

"I'm just giving you a heads-up, since the students all see you as a devilish teacher these days, you know?"

Ye Ci smiled and then made a couple more teasing remarks.

"I heard that Orange Academy recently established a student organization called the 'Sky Star Team,' whose main purpose is to study the various routines of Sunshine Dojo and strive to help more students pass your test."

"Because of the appearance of the Tianxing team, the campus atmosphere of Orange Academy has improved a lot."

"In a way, it has reignited their enthusiasm for battles. It seems that making you, Qingyu, the gym leader was indeed the right decision."

"..."

Qingyu fell silent.

The formation of the Tianxing team is actually somewhat related to myself.

After all, it was only after fighting against himself that Peony made up her mind to return to school and form the Tianxing team.

But who could have imagined that the Tianxing team, which originated from bullying, would end up like this after I appeared?
"As for the last thing..."

When it came to the last and most important thing, Ye Ci suddenly paused for a few seconds before speaking softly.

"Two days ago, Guild Master Roz from Galar contacted me, saying that in order to strengthen the exchange between the two gym leaders, he plans to send their popular star, Chibana, to Padia to spar with our gym leader."

"Although his reason sounds legitimate, his target is most likely you, Qingyu..."

"After all, they just won a championship in an international competition. Their purpose in coming to challenge us at this time is too obvious."

"However, it's clear that President Loz didn't consider this—"

Halfway through her sentence, Ye Ci suddenly revealed a somewhat cold smile on her face.

"If their strongest gym leader, Kibana, can't beat you, Qingyu, wouldn't that just give you more momentum?"

"So, are you confident you can beat him?"

Faced with Ye Ci's question, Qing Yu subconsciously began to think.

Is Cibana very strong?

In Galar, of course, that's true. He's a powerful gym leader who can fight evenly with Dante, and he even maintains a respectable tenth place in the international rankings.

But with his main force being Gigantamax Duraludon, he doesn't seem to be that difficult to deal with.

Moreover, it seems that aluminum-steel bridges haven't been discovered yet at this point in time, right?

Qingyu thought for a moment and nodded gently.

"should be no problem."
