You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 95: A Little Sunshine for the Newcomers - A Gym Surprise (Seeking First Subscription!)
Only after Okamoto lowered his head and put Mimikyu back into his Poké Ball did Aoba finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The battle portion of the dojo assessment is over, and now it's time for me, as a dojo master, to give advice to the newcomers.

"You commanded this battle quite well, Okamoto-kun. I can feel your improvement."

Aoba walked a few steps to Okamoto, whose expression of disappointment was hard to hide, and smiled as she spoke.

"Whether it's your understanding of tactics with your Pokémon or your ability to quickly think of ways to break through in a match, I think you're already a very good trainer."

"However, the same issues still need to be noted."

"Pokémon battles are not just about attacking. An overly aggressive offensive will also expose your weaknesses. While attacking, you should also consider your next move."

Qingyu actually gave a very high evaluation to this challenger whose name alone is impressive, because his rate of progress is indeed fast enough.

If she can be properly refined, she might become a formidable rival to Nemo on her path to the championship.

"I understand."

Although he didn't know whether Master Qingyu was actually praising him, Okamoto quickly composed himself and bowed politely.

"I will challenge you in better condition next time. Please take good care of me, Master Qingyu."

He really had no temper when he lost to Qingyu; if he couldn't beat him, he simply couldn't beat him.

At least Sunny Gym has real substance; the advice they give every time I come for a challenge is very practical, and they even change their tactics to completely different styles every week.

It's much better than those gyms that are only average and just give up on challengers.

This is why Okamoto was willing to take on the challenge a second time, and there may be a third or even more in the future.

Yes, this shouldn't be called a defeat, but a strategic victory.

It's a process of accumulating strength for the next success!

Moreover, with Master Qingyu's weekly guidance, wouldn't my progress be as fast as a rocket?
Maybe they even have a chance to win the championship next year?

Thinking of this, Okamoto's gaze toward Aoba gradually became somewhat fiery.

I really want to improve, Master Qingyu!

Please continue to whip me!
……

Okamoto left quickly.

Only Qingyu and Nemo remained in the entire dojo.

Qingyu was about to go out to check on Milton's situation when Nemo reached out and tugged at her sleeve.

"Teacher Qingyu, can other Pokémon learn this Substitute/Protect/Poison strategy from today?"

Nemo blinked her sparkling eyes and looked at him expectantly.

"Of course you can. Any Pokémon that can learn both Substitute and Toxic can use it."

Qingyu smiled and gave an affirmative answer.

"But why are you asking this? Buttocks can't learn how to use poison."

Could it be that I influenced Nemo?
That maverick battle maniac has actually started learning how to play as a defensive team...

Qingyu, you've done so many good deeds!
"Ok, I know!"

Nemo nodded repeatedly, then quickly revealed a憨厚 smile and took out a Poké Ball from her pocket.

"This is the little earth dragon I tamed yesterday, and it seems to have learned to use poison on its own, so I wanted to try to learn Teacher Qingyu's tactics!"

Earth Dragon's younger brother?

Qingyu gazed at the Pokémon lying inside the translucent shell of the Poké Ball.

The younger brother of the Earth Dragon, the Earth Serpent Pokémon, is a Normal-type Pokémon, and its evolved form is Earth Dragon Segment.

This Pokémon... is actually quite obscure. I didn't expect Nemo to catch one.

This type of Pokémon possesses a powerful move called Power Drill, which can ignore Protect and Predictive. Of course, in addition to offense, it also has interesting double battle strategies such as Serene Grace Rock Slide and Fearless Pin Missile, making it a great Pokémon for creating fun and engaging gameplay.

Moreover, as Nemo said, the Earth Dragon brother can learn to use poison, and also has the potential to learn Stand and Protect.

"Sure, I'll explain this tactic tonight."

Qingyu nodded and agreed to Nemo's request.

Using a substitute to defend against poison isn't a difficult tactic to learn; mastering the timing of using poison and a substitute is enough to get started.

This is a relatively simple and effective tactic for Nemo.

However, given this trend...

When Nemo challenges the gym leaders or even the Elite Four champions next year, will she have graduated from being a clueless rookie who only knows how to fight with passion and transformed into a high-quality player?

How about giving them a little shock and spreading the fame of Sunshine Dojo?
……

evening.

After Qingyu finished making sandwiches of various flavors, Milton, who had been basking in the sun all day, returned to the gym by the smell.

"Gah!"

A crisp electronic sound echoed throughout the venue; Qingyu didn't need to understand it to comprehend its meaning.

I'm hungry, I need to eat!
"Don't worry, you'll get your share!"

Qingyu patted its shiny head helplessly.

Although it looks like a completely mechanical body, it feels a bit like rubber when you actually hold it, and it's quite pleasant to touch.

To be honest, although this thing is the cover of the Legendary Pokémon series, it doesn't seem to match the level of a Legendary Pokémon at all, whether in the game or in the one in front of me...

If Gulliverton is a passionate, energetic big dog, then Milerton is definitely a lazy, big cat.

It emphasizes a Buddhist-like attitude.

After losing his original power in the Zero District due to the battle, he didn't seem to have any intention of regaining his strength to go back and take revenge. Instead, he simply set up his own dojo and decided not to leave.

They can lie down outside and sleep all day long, but they're completely unreliable when it comes to work. However, they're the most enthusiastic when it's time to eat.

If Qingyu hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn't have believed that a legendary Pokémon could be so inactive.

That's pretty outrageous.

Moreover, this guy can really eat a lot; it probably consumes more fuel than dozens of sandwiches per 100 kilometers.

Because of Milton's presence, the Engel coefficient of the Sunny Gym has increased several times over.

If the dojo didn't have ample funds, we really couldn't afford to keep it.

After finishing the meal for the whole family, Qingyu quickly returned to her bedroom and began preparing for today's live stream.

He promised to teach Nemo the strategy of using substitute poison.

When it comes to the poison-fighting tactic, the best driver has to be Scorpion King, right?

Qingyu quickly came up with an idea for today's live stream, so she turned on her computer and quickly enabled the live stream function.

In an instant, countless comments flooded in.

[Who understands the happiness of just sitting down to eat, only to find a live stream popping up on your phone's homepage?]

Hurry up and bring it up, I've been waiting so long!

[Teacher Yu, what fun tactics have you prepared today?]

Faced with the barrage of comments, Qingyu simply smiled slightly:
"Don't rush, today I'll give you a really interesting tutorial on the 'substitute defense' tactic!"

3rd update. While writing, I realized that I probably won't be able to finish writing the battle in 5 updates -.-, maybe I'll have to add another update. I'll try my best.
