Chapter 5 One trick, and you're set for life
In her previous life, Qingyu was a streamer in the Pokémon battle section, so she is quite familiar with most of the strategies.

Looking at the history of Pokémon battles, there are very few strategies that can form a complete system based on just one move.

Among these powerful and far-reaching techniques, there happened to be one simple and straightforward move that left a very deep impression on Qingyu.

That was exactly the brute force that Cocodora had just used.

If used properly, even a level 1 Pokémon can potentially defeat the entire opponent's team.

[What just happened? Did I see that right? A level 1 Cocodora one-shotted Charizard?]

[How could I dare to speak?.jpg]

The viewers quickly recovered from their shock and began to review Qingyu's actions.

I looked up the move "Brute Force," and its effect is to make the hit opponent's HP equal to the user's HP, which is why it instantly killed Charizard...

[A combination of sturdiness and brute force? No wonder they're using a level 1 Pokémon, that's interesting!]

[It's not that simple, is it? The hippopotamus that just appeared and activated the sandstorm was also quite strategic; without the sandstorm, the fire-breathing dragon wouldn't have died.]

I understand the logic, but I'm more curious about how CocoDora fully recovers her health.

"It's a seashell bell. I brought a seashell bell for Cocodora."

Qingyu nodded and offered to reveal the answer.

Although the audience may not be able to keep up with his understanding, they are certainly not stupid. With a little thought, they can basically figure out his tricks.

The weak level 1 Pokémon relies on its sturdy build to lock in health, brute force it to deal considerable damage similar to "Destiny Bond", and then uses the Sandstorm weather ability to finish it off, achieving the effect of instantly killing the opponent.

The principle itself is not complicated.

However, it simultaneously meets the three conditions of being reckless, possessing the sturdy characteristic, and not being affected by teammates' sandstorm backlash...

The only items you can find in the entire encyclopedia are Cocodor and Donphan.

This is why Qingyu immediately decided to use this strategy after seeing the lineup.

Of course, if you just use brute force to take down a Charizard, this tactic obviously wouldn't be as impressive to the audience.

The essence of brute force tactics lies in their ability to be reused repeatedly.

"The effect of the Shell Bell is to restore a small amount of HP after each instance of damage dealt, and the effect is related to the damage dealt."

Qingyu continued to explain.

Seeing that his opponent seemed to be stunned by his move and had not sent out another Pokémon for a long time, he simply stretched.

"For a level 1 Cocodora, this amount of recovery is more than enough to restore its health."

"At that very moment, having returned to full health, it will reactivate the effect of the Sturdy trait, allowing it to continue to withstand damage and unleash smooth mini-combos."

As if to verify Qingyu's commentary, Cocodora, with its health fully restored, raised its head high on the screen, its eyes filled with fighting spirit.

[666, this tactic is interesting! How did the streamer come up with it?]

After watching the streamer's performance, all I can think of is a senryu poem: "Sturdy shell bell, Coco Dora, a level one god, brute force wipes out the entire field."

[A true god-tier player, let's start a ranked match and dominate!]

In the live stream room, which had just started broadcasting, the density of bullet comments increased rapidly.

Judging from the number of spectators, there must have been at least a hundred people who witnessed Qingyu's unscientific tactics.

In theory, Cocodora can easily wipe out the team by simply repeating brute force.

Of course, this is just theory.

There is obviously no perfect strategy in Pokémon battles, and people soon discovered the limitations of brute force tactics.

[Streamer, your strategy is indeed very impressive, but if the opponent uses a Aerodactyl, you're doomed, aren't you?]

At the same time this comment appeared, the opponent also took this into consideration.

After much deliberation, the fossil pterosaur was quickly cut out.

Although it is not a noble dragon, as a Rock/Flying hybrid Pokémon, sandstorms have no effect on it and can even increase its durability.

However… “Cocodora, don’t be reckless!”

Before the fossil pterosaur could even react, it saw a small, metal monster charging headfirst into it.

Although Cocodora is still at full health, its brute force at level 1 is still outstanding, and the fossil aerodra almost instantly lost all its health.

Taking advantage of Aerodactyl's confusion after being injured, Qingyu immediately commanded his trainer's avatar on the screen.

Cocodora, which was performing a backflip in the air due to inertia, was retrieved, and Gardevoir made a dazzling appearance, using its psychic powers to elegantly finish off Aerodactyl before its attack could arrive.

As the score reached 2-1, Qingyu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"The sandstorm might not be able to finish off some Pokémon, but Acodra has teammates, right?"

Using sandstorms to get kills is just a clever trick; as long as you can cripple the opponent, there are countless ways to deal with it.

Compared to the three types that can ignore sandstorms, brute force tactics might be more afraid of Ghost Pokémon that cannot be used.

However, their opponent in this match clearly did not have such concerns.

Despite the vast difference in strength between the two Pokémon, after Akador's impressive display of power, the opponent was the first to give up and surrender.

The huge victory icon took up half the screen.

The barrage of questions that had filled the screen before the battle began had fallen silent, and it took them quite a while to come to their senses.

[Wow... Now I really believe the streamer is the master. I'd take this idiot for a newbie coming up with such an outrageous level 1 tactic.]

[This is even more outrageous than opening one! CocoDora is amazing!]

[Give the streamer 3 minutes; I want to see a complete tutorial on this tactic!]

Qingyu smiled without saying a word, immediately returned to the homepage, and resumed his journey to climb the ranks.

He knew very well that while brute force tactics had distinct characteristics, they were by no means an unsolvable tactic.

You can easily break their moves by using multi-hit attacks or facing off with Ghost-type Pokémon.

But the problem is...

Because we are now in the real world of Pokémon, the ways to get in touch with Pokémon are not as simple as in the games. Without the Pokédex, many trainers don't even know the moves of Pokémon.

Not to mention the fish fry in the fishpond.

So Qingyu immediately led Cocodora to dominate the beginner level, quickly achieving a ten-game winning streak and successfully advancing to the mid-level of the Poké Ball rank.

In less than an hour, it was sprinting at full speed toward the Super Ball level.

"Simple and easy~"

After easily winning another game, Qingyu leaned back in her chair, stretched comfortably, and noticed that the number of viewers in the upper right corner had somehow broken into four digits.

It seems they gave quite a few gifts as well.

Although we're all poor guys, we won't hesitate to show our support, and it adds up to a considerable amount of income.

It seems my first live stream was quite successful.

"Brothers, we feel like we've hit the mark for today. Let's keep pushing for higher scores tomorrow!"

"If you haven't followed yet, please do so. Liking and following won't hurt. Tomorrow, the streamer will use other Pokémon and brand-new tactics to climb the ranks, aiming to reach Master Ball rank this season!"

Qingyu's live stream wasn't actually very long, but he played one set of tactics for almost an hour, and he figured the audience was getting tired of it.

So, after giving the audience a little something to look forward to, he prepared to end the broadcast.

He has an endless supply of tactics in his mind; at this rate, he should be able to gain widespread recognition very soon.

Just then, "Joey who had been silent for a long time" suddenly posted a comment, which was seen by Qingyu who was about to end the broadcast.

[Hey streamer, did you come up with this strategy tonight? I couldn't find it on Pokémon TV!]

[If possible, could you make this into an instructional video and upload it online? I think a lot of people would like this style of tactic!]
