You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 69 Professor Oak liked my post?
Staring at the prominent word "failure" on the screen, A-Du's expression was full of astonishment, which finally turned into a relieved smile.

"I lost as expected."

To be honest, he had a vague feeling halfway through the battle that he might lose to this team of seemingly weak Bug Pokémon.

The opponent's tactical level and predictive ability far exceeded their expectations, and each Pokémon in a single team was equipped with an innovative combination.

This is evident from the fact that he equipped the Speaker Crawler with the "missed safety" item at the start of the game, which directly gave even a weak character like the Speaker Crawler the ability to disrupt the opponent's rhythm with his first move.

If the opponent is a bit luckier, the situation might become even more unfavorable for them.

There are also small combinations that rely on maintaining speed and strengthening without taking damage, which are highly compatible with baton-passing tactics.

Even the balloon dragon king scorpion that tricked him and the fire orb Heracross that fought to the death left a deep impression on Awa.

What’s even more terrifying is——

A-Du could even sense that the team wasn't very coordinated.

If it weren't for the opponent's apparent obsession with using Bug Pokémon in their team, the strength would likely be several levels higher.

This team, which was still a bit far from perfect, was repeatedly suppressed by the opposing trainer, until they finally pulled off a magnificent comeback at the last moment...

He suddenly became curious about the level of his opponent.

Judging from the command skills and creativity shown by this trainer, he must be a key figure in the league, right?

Could it be a champion's alternate account?
But aside from the Unova champion, probably no other champion would bother with Bug Pokémon...

But it's even less likely that the champion, who is openly looking for a successor, would be in the mood to play video games.

So, just like the opponents Qingyu had been matched with before, Adu, whose curiosity was piqued, clicked into his profile.

Then, unsurprisingly, he froze.

Before the battle, he was so focused on looking at the opponent's lineup that he didn't notice how young the opposing trainer was.

She looks no older than twenty.

Without a doubt, he was a brilliant young man with impeccable command skills, but he came from Padia, a place he knew nothing about.

If it were the nearby Sinnoh or Hoenn, he might really be tempted to get to know this trainer named "Azure Feather".

By the way, ask him how he came up with the idea of ​​making the speaker turn on and off...

The Song of Annihilation, or the Song of the End, is a very special move, and the tactical system built around it is generally very complex.

In the Kanto region, both Granny Kiku and her nemesis Lorelei are masters of using the Extinction Song system.

Maybe we can trick him... and recommend him to the Indigo League for intensive training.

"There are more and more child prodigies coming from other regions lately."

He knows of many regions that have recently welcomed new champions, and the Sinnoh region and even the entire league have almost all been replaced by young players.

Adu, overwhelmed with emotion, suddenly froze in his seat.

Since that legend retired, the Indigo League championship has been without a winner for many years. The four kings have been competing for more than a decade without being able to produce a winner.

Shouldn't we take advantage of this last Quartz convention before the Masters Rules are implemented to give young people a stage to showcase their talents?
The same applies to the work of the Alliance Investigation Department. If they are just following behind and cleaning up after others, it will be difficult for these newcomers to gain experience and grow.

Perhaps it's time to let go and allow them to become familiar with the Rocket Team's and poaching organizations' modus operandi and activity range?
……

Sinnoh League.

"Am I seeing things???"

After witnessing an incredibly exciting battle, Da Ye was completely stunned, mechanically turning his head to look at his two friends on the other side.

In the live stream, the dazzling victory symbol was extremely eye-catching.

"That's right, Mr. Wataru, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, actually lost to this streamer..."

The most powerful dragon, commanded by what is arguably the world's best dragon tamer, lost to a team composed of the weakest bug Pokémon.

Wu Song, whose expression had remained calm throughout, now showed obvious shock on his face.

This was an incredibly exciting match; if it were an official tournament, it would definitely be a contender for the best of the year!
The victory was not solely due to the unfamiliar trainer's formidable command skills, which were in no way inferior to Lance's.

more importantly……

He seems to have truly maximized the power of each Bug Pokémon!
"Is the person Sister Zhulan is talking about really a master with insect attributes?"

If we're talking about the viewer who understands it the most, it has to be A-Liu, who is also a Bug-type trainer.

For him, both the Speaker Cricket responsible for controlling the field and interfering with the field, and the One-Punch Super Bug Heracross with Perseverance and Flame Orb, were novel concepts.

Each Bug-type Pokémon has its own unique strengths. The key to a Bug-type team is to use Pokémon that excel at creating advantages to pave the way for a stronger Pokémon with clearing abilities, thus creating opportunities for victory.

Although he had only watched an online game match, A-Liu felt that he had gained a lot.

No wonder the boss recommended this trainer, he's incredibly strong!
"There were so many details in this match, I wish I could save them so I could review them carefully..."

Ah Liu shook his head helplessly. If he had known that the quality of this match would be so high, he would definitely have recorded it.

Just as he was feeling regretful, Wusong revealed a mysterious smile.

"Don't worry, I recorded it all. I'll review it with you guys after I finish work."

"Great! As expected, Wusong, you're the most reliable!"

……

After a resounding victory against A-du, Qingyu played two more ranked matches.

Without an Elite Four level trainer as an opponent, his Bug Baton Pass strategy finally had room to be implemented.

Starting with a Kryptonite that has its safety deactivated, it gains a boost opportunity regardless of whether the boost hits or not, and then passes the baton to the next Pokémon.

Through repeated cycles, the final form of the Dragon King Scorpion is incredibly powerful, capable of taking down children in one bite.

But the final record was one win and one loss...

"What??? The speaker was defeated in one hit???"

"Come back, you useless thing!"

When did the streamer learn the art of face-changing?

[Speaker Guy: One C, one lie-down, one half-hearted effort, the so-called "mixed learning"...]

[This is perfect! This is the speaker I know!]

[If you want to win, why not just optimize the speaker?]

After three matches, the audience quickly realized that the speaker was still too fragile, and that having a "missed" safety feature was a bit of a gamble.

If you encounter a high-damage team like the Sunny Team, you can easily be wiped out instantly, which is equivalent to losing one person.

"Damn it... I still can't do it?"

As expected, Qingyu sighed silently after losing a match.

"Since that's the case, then—"

"Shame on you!"

Under the watchful eyes of countless viewers in the live stream, the screen went black instantly.

[Is this your escape route?]

To be honest, if Dragonite could end its stream half as quickly as a streamer, the Dodo would have won just now!

【You come back here!】

...November 12th, Wednesday.

As the clock struck midnight, Pokémon TV was deserted... In a corner where thousands of people were waiting, a video titled "The Counterattack of the Speaker Cricket, 10.0 Rating from 10,000 People" quietly passed the review.

[Sending a video in the middle of the night, did you think I was asleep?]

[Teacher Yu is right. My name is Wanren, and I gave the speaker a score of 10.]

[Is the Speaker Cricket going to make a comeback? Evolve a bit more before you try again!]

[You'll be unhappy if it really evolves, but you'll be crying when Bug-types rise to power!]

As is Qingyu's usual practice, the theme of this video is naturally the lineup he used today: the Insect Relay Team.

"A Bug Relay Team is a relay team composed of Bug-type Pokémon. Of course, it's just a formality. Using other Pokémon that are suitable for a relay team would be better."

"When it comes to Bug-type Pokémon, the one with the highest online buzz is naturally our top choice."

"Now, please welcome today's star—Speaker Scrat!"

[A speaker-wielding stuntman? Don't laugh, huh? Then you win.]

[I was actually there this time, just wait and see, the impact of the speaker will far exceed your imagination!]

[Did you, Teacher Xinyu, get MVP with your Speaker Cricket, or do you believe my Caterpie can evolve into Rayquaza?]

As soon as Qingyu's voice finished playing, the chat room immediately entered an incredibly joyful atmosphere.

After the introduction, we move on to the main practical section.

The moment the opponent's ID appeared, a storm of question marks, composed of countless bullet comments, swept in.

[Holy crap, it looks like a Li bird, a dodo!]

[Mr. Adu is getting better too; he's even getting matched with our top streamers now!]

[A bug team encountering a flying-type team? Your game's matchmaking system is quite interesting!]

The difference in video quality between Qingyu and other tutorial bloggers is immediately apparent from the skill level of the opponents she is matched with.

Everyone else's victims are random passersby recording videos, how come all your victims are top-tier agents?!

A match lasts only a few minutes.

When the progress bar was more than halfway through, the density of the bullet comments decreased significantly.

No one could have imagined that, under extremely unfavorable circumstances, Qingyu's Bug Pokémon would display remarkable resilience, turning the tide several times.

It begins with Speaker Cricket and ends with Speaker Cricket's reappearance.

When the silencing song began, the previously laughing and joking viewers in the live chat were completely swept up in the atmosphere and started cheering for the speaker.

[Damn, let's get this fired up!]

[Don't let Heracross's Flame Punch go to waste! Use Last Song on Dragonite!]

Go for it, Speaker Hero!

After Qingyu won a crushing 6-5 victory, the usually dense barrage of comments surprisingly had a brief period of silence.

Many viewers only realized it when the progress bar had completely reached its end.

……

When I woke up, the new video had unsurprisingly topped the Pokémon TV charts.

Qingyu, who had gradually gotten used to this feeling, didn't react much. She simply clicked into the comments section as usual, hoping to find some interesting comments to pass the time during breakfast.

The comment with the most likes completely stunned him.

【Oki Yukinari:
It's been a long time since I've seen such a high-quality battle video. To be able to put on such a wonderful showdown with Lance, this young trainer's skill is beyond doubt.

But more than that, I'd like to praise the spirit he wanted to convey to the audience—

Don't conclude that a certain type of Pokémon cannot become strong just because of the base stats in the Pokédex.

In fact, there are quite a few trainers' ace trainers who don't seem particularly strong at first glance, but they possess extremely terrifying strength.

The potential of a Pokémon is not simply determined by its base stats; the trainer's training methods are also crucial.

Therefore, please treat your Pokémon well; they will certainly not let you down!

It was a very long comment, and although the language was a bit old-fashioned, it was convincing.

The user's profile picture is of a sprightly, white-haired old man wearing a white coat, whose kind face is very familiar to Qingyu.

"what?"

Professor Oak liked my post?
Qingyu was stunned and subconsciously clicked on his homepage.

As expected, he is the official GOAT certified by the Pokémon League, and he is also the GOAT in both the Pokémon TV knowledge section and the daily life section.

However, besides the well-known identity of the Pokémon Professor in the Kanto region, there seem to be a few more lines of smaller text.

The 18th Quartz Conference champion, former Quartz League champion, three-time Masters Tournament champion, and holder of the "Battle Legend" title...

"This is too outrageous!"

Based on what she found online, Qingyu firmly believed that she was in the Pokémon world of the game.

But this Professor Oak really did come straight out of the special manga set!

No, that's not right!

Professor Oak in the game simply doesn't explicitly mention his Pokémon or his past experiences; it doesn't necessarily mean it's a special episode filled with monsters and demons.

Furthermore, if we follow the plot of the special episode...

By now, the Indigo League is practically finished, so how did I end up encountering a Dodo in the game?

Shouldn't he be busy destroying the world?
After figuring out the logical relationship, Qingyu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

I almost scared myself!
After liking all the popular comments as usual, Qingyu finished her breakfast.

According to the schedule for preparing for the dojo assessment, today is a very important day.

To save energy for Friday, he plans to let Ibrahimovic and Riolu relax tomorrow so they can be in top form for Sinri's test.

Therefore, Wednesday is the final training day, and also the day to test the results of the training against the Earth King tactics.

Even the mischievous Eevee was unusually early today, and was eating a special energy cube that was "supposedly very delicious" with Riolu.

Energy cubes are not a staple food, but they are a very good temporary food when you need to exert a lot of physical strength.

Many breeders have the habit of feeding their Pokémon Energy Cubes before battles, for the same reason: to slow down the depletion of their Pokémon's stamina.

After a full day of training and a day of complete relaxation for the little ones, Friday arrived quickly.

The day of the dojo's assessment has finally arrived!

Halfway through writing, I realized that this training scene would probably be three or four thousand words long, which might affect the overall flow.

I've been thinking of trying to get into the Three Rivers again these past couple of days, but I can't afford to miss the follow-up reading, so I'll skip it for now and save the tactical suspense for the assessment.
Some readers have complained that it wasn't very scientific for me to just use the rented Breloom directly and coordinate it with other items. Also, the previous book didn't really have much actual training content.

Actually, this is just a matter of my personal style.

I'll skip over anything I feel is unnecessary, like practicing tactics with Breloom, but I might spend too much time on important parts, making it impossible to finish in a day, which could affect the reading experience. I'll try to correct that...

However, even though a lot of content has been deleted, there will still be at least 6k today!
