You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 56 I say Teacher Yu's opinion is brilliant!

"..."

The screen was filled with bright red failure symbols, and Lulina's mood, which had just calmed down a little, plummeted to rock bottom again.

"So, the Grass type is still too much of a counter to me after all?"

The memory of losing to Gym Leader Yaro is still fresh in my mind, and now I can't even get past a Breloom?

Although I was just there to test rainy weather tactics, it's normal to lose, but failure is failure, and it's always unavoidable that it makes people feel sad.

If he can't even beat a passerby, how could he possibly handle Mr. Yalo's Grass-type army?

Lulina couldn't help but think this.

In her first year as a gym leader, with limited experience, she was able to retain the top gym status at the Water Boat Arena, which already met the residents' expectations.

And the next opponent, Mr. Yalo, is someone admired by countless trainers, whose experience and strength are far behind his own.

Even if I lose to him, it doesn't seem like a big deal...

While escaping is shameful, it's useful; I really can't think of any other way to turn the tide right now.

With that thought in mind, Lulina lay down on the soft carpet and held up her phone, trying to distract herself with some interesting videos.

However, as soon as she opened Pokémon TV, a user's live stream appeared on the homepage's public chat screen.

The title was "Come and see One-Punch Man Breloom!" and the familiar Pokémon Champion interface appeared on the screen of the live stream.

It can't be such a coincidence...

Lulina frowned and opened the streamer's profile page before entering the live stream room.

"Azure Feather, the Sunlight Gym Leader of the Padilla region, is a League certified..."

After comparison, it turned out to be exactly the same name as his opponent's.

She didn't notice her opponent's authentication icon at all before the game started.

If the opponent is also a dojo master, losing to him would be understandable.

It seems he's a veteran trainer, like Mr. Yalo, who specializes in Grass-type Pokémon?
Driven by intense curiosity, Lulina clicked into the live stream.

As soon as I entered, I overheard the streamer discussing their recent match.

His comment that he "is not very good at dealing with Grass-types" hit the nail on the head, accurately capturing his current pain point.

Even when facing Qibana, who was on par with Dan, Lulina was confident that she could show her own style.

But when facing Yalo, she always felt completely powerless and had almost no hope for the upcoming ranking battles.

If it were the curator of this Padiya, could he offer some guidance?
Lulina suddenly felt as if she had discovered a deeply hidden treasure.

If you really want to show your sincerity, you should follow the rules of live streaming...

She didn't know much about this, but she did know that Pokémon TV had a paid comment function.

The most expensive one is only 10 yuan...

If you can get useful advice for a small amount of money, it's definitely worth it.

Soon, a striking red message appeared in the live stream.

[Lurina: The streamer is right, I'm really not good at dealing with Grass-type Pokémon. Do you have any advice? This is really important to me!]

……

[Wow, it looks like Lulina herself! She's so cute!]

[I really want to be Lurina's Ludicolo, but Lurina says she likes Devourer Turtle...]

【Kid, you've come to the wrong place. We don't give away photo albums here!】

[What do you mean by "impressive presence"? Teacher Yu is really doing well now; even the gym leader came to ask you for tactical advice!]

The fact that Lulina herself appeared in the live stream quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the chat.

Faced with the skillful instigation of the comments, Qingyu couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

It wasn't that he couldn't teach Lulina how to play a rain team. Quite the opposite, it was that he had far too many theoretical solutions in his mind.

After all, figuring out how to defeat the opponent's Grass-type overpowered opponent is a must-know question for rain teams, and different team compositions require different strategies.

He himself did not know what her real demands were.

Speaking of which, Miss Lurina's ranking battle with Mr. Aro is next week, right? I think she suffered a crushing defeat last time...

The effect of elemental advantage is still too great; it's very difficult!

Just as Qingyu was pondering, a comment caught his attention.

So he promptly turned on Pokémon TV and, unsurprisingly, found the recording of their last battle.

After reading it, Qingyu's expression gradually became complicated.

Generally, rain teams will bring Pokémon of other types to cover weaknesses and avoid obvious defensive synergy issues.

He had never seen a team as purely focused on rain as Lulina.

Of course, he was thinking about it with a game mindset to some extent; in actual combat, there are many more factors to consider.

Even so, the two still have many things in common, especially in terms of tactical configuration.

In Qingyu's opinion, Lulina's team shouldn't be afraid of Grass type in the first place, right?

"Fortunately, Teacher Yu is kind-hearted. Since you asked so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you!"

After watching the video, Qingyu cleared her throat and began to speak more seriously.

"Your foundation for the rain team is quite good; I feel the main problem lies in your approach—"

"Let me share my thoughts. Of course, what I say may not be correct, and is for reference only."

He was quite puzzled.

With our invincible General Geyora around, Grass-type Pokémon can't just kill them all at will, can they?

Qingyu could understand Lulina's unwavering trump card, the Berserker Turtle.

After all, the essence of Galar battles lies in Dynamaxing, and each Gym Leader's Gigantamax Pokémon guarantees high attendance.

Without Gigantamax, even someone as strong as Nie Zi would find it difficult to attract viewers with his own style.

But as long as you're a little more flexible in your approach to other Pokémon, it's really not difficult to win against your opponent!

"Even putting aside the fact that Quagsire, which is 4x weak to Grass, might not even survive to use Ice Punch, Pelipper and Toxapex both have decent counter-effects, right?"

"Don't take the weather setter too seriously. Even if you activate Rain, Grass-types can't use Water-type moves, right? The main purpose is to allow teammates to trigger their abilities."

"So in this situation, Pelipper can go to the extreme and go for an offensive build, as its STAB Hurricane will be hard for the opponent to withstand."

"Or Pelipper and Golisopod could also have a good combo. Quickly switch in and launch a surprise attack, which could definitely take down at least one of the opponent's Pokémon!"

"Of course, I still suggest not using Quagsire next time. Instead, bring in a special attacker that can use Ice-type moves and is fast enough, such as..."

"Gem Starfish?"

"If Miss Lurina hasn't trained any other main Pokémon, then disregard what I said. However, type advantage is a crucial aspect of Pokémon battles, so it's best to avoid it if possible..."

After rattling off his ideas for the better solution in one breath, Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"These are my thoughts, and I hope they can be of some help to Miss Lulina."

After calming down, when he looked at the comments again, he realized that the density of comments had decreased significantly.

[I didn't understand a word of it, but it sounded really impressive...]

【Wait, Yu-sensei, you're really good at this? What are you babbling about? Is this something a Pokémon Ball player like me should be learning?】

[I agree that Teacher Yu's opinion is brilliant!]

Thank you to Master Qiu and Zhiyinjiang for the generous donations.

Diary of a Fallen Hero, May 5.11
I've completed three rounds today, which is much better than being eliminated in the first round of the last book qwq
Rain teams are a staple of Pokémon, with the rain team members ranking high over the generations. However, some of the better Pokémon from previous generations are still viable.
