You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 45 Science Squad

[A pink devil? Chansey is clearly an angel, why give it such an evil nickname!]

The Chansey Egg Protection Association strongly condemns this!

You're not allowed to eat the eggs laid by our lucky angel, Chansey, anymore!

To be fair, while the streamer might actually be skilled... does nobody really believe Chansey is viable in competitive battles?

As soon as Qingyu finished her opening remarks, many comments began to criticize her.

It's clear that people are very pessimistic about Chansey.

Chansey, the Egg Pokémon, is a little angel that regularly spawns at Pokémon Centers.

There is some truth to the claim that it is not good at combat.

Perhaps due to its personality, Chansey's offensive capabilities are very poor.

Even with a strong bond with its trainer, and eventually evolving into Blissey, its damage output is still insufficient.

For local trainers who prefer intense brawls, this is rather weak.

Of course, since our creator god Arceus closed a window, he would naturally open a door as well.

While their offense may not be reliable, the Chansey family is definitely a formidable force in defense.

Especially in terms of special defense, it can be described as a despairing wall.

"Don't worry, a master once said, 'There are no weak Pokémon, only trainers who don't know how to use them.' Today, Teacher Yu will bring you a set of tactics suitable for Chansey!"

As they were talking, Qingyu had already opened Pokémon Champion and selected a round, pink Pokémon in the team editor.

Why Chansey? Isn't Blissey the final evolution?

[Maybe it's to carry Evolution Stones? Since they don't have much combat power anyway, it's better to increase their durability.]

So how are you going to win?

Qingyu was not surprised by the confusion expressed in the comments.

After all, this is the real Pokémon world, so it's unlikely that a team will simply grind down the opponent to death.

Otherwise, it would be too easy to start another no-holds-barred brawl...

It's not just a saying that being on the wrong team makes it easy to have no friends.

"I do intend to bring an Evolution Stone, because it will further amplify Chansey's advantages."

"Of course, this tactic can also be used with Lucky Egg. If you replace the item with Light Powder, the effect shouldn't be too different."

Qingyu gave a brief explanation and then started the matching process.

The stereotypes about Chansey are so deeply ingrained that they can't be understood simply by talking about them.

We need to prove to our fans with concrete actions—

Despite their angelic appearance, the Chansey family is anything but pushovers!

Once he reached the advanced ball rank, his matchmaking time became significantly longer because the number of players decreased considerably.

Previously, I could find an opponent in seconds, but now it took a full five minutes.

He watched all of Agatha Christie's new outfit videos on Pokémon TV before the match pointer finally stopped spinning.

"Great! Our science transformation team can finally dominate the battlefield!"

Qingyu smiled slightly, observing the opponent's lineup while also trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"I predict your next sentence will be—"

"Hey streamer, what's this 'scientific squad transformation' thing?"

[What is scientific shrinking... Holy crap, this is cheating!]

【What?! Predicting your opponent's moves is one thing, but predicting even the comments in the live chat?!】

[Teacher Yu, please bring it up quickly, I can't wait!]

Seeing that the comments section was clearly buzzing with excitement after his "predicting the future," Qingyu smiled with satisfaction.

"The so-called scientific shrinking squad is a tactic that uses shrinking techniques as its core, making it difficult for opponents to hit you by constantly reducing your size."

"It sounds like it depends on luck, but it's not."

"For example, if the opponent's Pokémon are all special attack-oriented, we can confidently start with Chansey."

Upon entering the battle, Qingyu's trainer phantom immediately threw out a Chansey.

His opponent was a young trainer whose starting Pokémon was Alakazam, known as the "Master of Alakazam." This was exactly what Qingyu wanted.

"Hu Di, be mentally strong!"

After the Pokémon from both sides entered the field, the opponent immediately made the first move.

Alakazam crossed the two spoons in its hands, its eyes flashing with purple light, and quickly unleashed a burst of violent psychic energy, charging wildly towards Chansey's location.

Chansey's reaction time is very slow; even when it sees its opponent attacking it, it remains unmoved with its innocent smile.

The psychic energy quickly struck Chansey's body, but surprisingly, it didn't have much of an effect on it.

Despite suffering a minor injury, its health bar, which was more than twice the size of Master Hu's, remained almost fully restored, an astonishing level of stamina.

"Lucky?"

You can almost feel the confusion in Chansey's voice even through the screen.

As if to say:

Hey bro, haven't you eaten yet?
"Master Hu, are you doing some kind of gua sha here? If you're not a physical attacker, don't even think about hitting our Chansey!"

Qingyu immediately gave the order:

"Chucky Egg, shrink!"

Chansey's body immediately shrank inch by inch, and soon it was only half its original height.

Shrinking is a survival instinct for Pokémon.

Even Pokémon that don't have the ability to shrink might instinctively use this move to dodge attacks when encountering danger in the wild.

This is also the principle behind the storage of modern Poké Balls.

Not only is Chansey harder to hit after shrinking, its smaller size also makes it more agile.

Even if the opponent reacts quickly and attacks with a True Qi Bullet that counters it, it will be too late.

Energy beams flew out one after another, but Chansey easily dodged them each time with its clumsy but practical movements, and then used its shrink function again.

After shrinking three times, Chansey's size is now almost impossible to discern with the naked eye.

Even Alakazam, known for its superpowers, would have almost no chance of hitting it again.

"Didn't some viewers ask me before how to win with Chansey? Watch closely, and don't blink!"

Alakazam's abilities might be Synchronize or Magic Defense, so...

There's only one answer left!

"Chicago, throw on Earth!"

Chansey had somehow appeared in front of Alakazam, and its tiny body suddenly unleashed terrifying strength, sending Alakazam flying!
The harm wasn't actually that exaggerated, but it was extremely insulting.

But faced with this "pink demon" that was impossible to hit and could only be constantly worn down, the opposing team quickly lost their temper and surrendered.

[Huh? Is this still Pokémon battles? Where did they put me?]

[This is so dirty!]

Why does the streamer's Chansey smile seem so evil to me? Is it just my imagination...?

[You're not mistaken, no wonder the streamer called it the Pink Devil! Give our adorable little angel back!!!]

Clearly, the shrinking tactic brought quite a shock to the viewers.

"You've already ordered?"

Qingyu's smile vanished instantly as she was about to make her move.

I finally got to play a game as the defender, and you give me a chance to play as the stunner!

As a pure Pokémon player, he found the points from victories rather uninteresting than the joy of battling.

"This is the power of the Science Team. Chansey's special defense is ridiculously high. With the boost from the Evolution Stone, as long as it can catch a special attacker, it is very likely to be boosted to the limit in one go."

"I think I don't need to tell you what to do next, right?"

Qingyu smiled slightly, and amidst a screen full of comments like "dirty, dirty, dirty" and "Learned it, delete it now!", she started matchmaking again.

After waiting for two or three minutes, another "evenly matched opponent" appeared opposite him.

Chansey is theoretically easy to counter; everyone knows one punch is enough to take it down. But actually encountering one is still disgusting. The pink devil truly lives up to its name.
