Chapter 468 A Super Student in Teacher Yu's Eyes
After the match was successfully matched, Qingyu and Chihong each pressed the confirm button, and the lineups for both sides quickly appeared before their eyes.
Upon seeing the crimson formation, Qingyu suddenly raised an eyebrow, realizing that things seemed to be more complicated than they appeared.
Pikachu, Espeon, Snorlax, Venusaur, Charizard, Chansey.
At first glance, it does look like his team, with most of the main players present, plus some of his own clever touches.
Venusaur is primarily a tanky defensive unit, and to showcase its offensive capabilities, it needs to be closely integrated with a Sunny Day team.
Therefore, Red chose Charizard as the weather setter, and if nothing unexpected happens, it should be a strong offensive route starting with Charizard Y. In sunny weather, Espeon can also continuously replenish its health with the morning light.
As for Pikachu—it's a matter of faith; anyone who can pull out this adorable creature is a genius.
In theory, Crimson's tactics should be a standard sunny-day-biased team, but the extra Chansey made Aoba feel that something was not right.
Since the opponent is oneself, each of the Pokémon in Red must have its own unique understanding.
So, what would happen if we combined Chansey, which shrinks, with Espeon, which has self-suggestion?
Thinking of this, Qingyu immediately smiled.
"Isn't this the prototype of the Science Transformation Squad? As expected of you, Crimson!"
Even if the other party doesn't necessarily think that way, what does it mean that they would think of putting a Chansey in their team?
This means that the crimson color had already been thoroughly marinated by Teacher Yu.
No, it's that Red is indeed a master of tactics, and he's even incorporated his own new understanding into the shrinking team concept that I introduced back then!
Snorlax was originally the core member of the defensive team, and it can disgust opponents to no end just by sleeping. If you add Chansey, Venusaur, and Espeon, it becomes even more unpredictable.
That's why he could become the champion; when it comes to creating entertaining moments, you have to look to him!
His subtle changes in expression, from initially appearing somewhat serious to suddenly bursting into laughter, were naturally noticed by the students in the live stream.
[Oh no, this seems to be a top student taught by Teacher Yu. Judging from Teacher Yu's pleased smile, this person is no ordinary individual!]
[Now the little filth has been exposed as a big filth; can Teacher Yu's students still be decent people?]
[Using area-of-effect attacks in the live stream, huh? But it doesn't seem wrong ————]
[Who is this opponent? I don't think I've heard of him before. But someone who can make Teacher Yu sit up and fight him... could he be a genius from another region?]
Speculation about Crimson's identity quickly became a hot topic in the live stream.
Of course, it may not be long before they get to know this young man and remember his new identity as the Kanto champion.
After a moment's thought, Qingyu finally chose a starting combination of Gengar and Amoonguss.
Whether facing a Sunny Day team or a shrinking strategy that relies on durability to stall for time, these two can flexibly find solutions, and can also be switched in time if necessary.
For the backcourt, he chose Mari Luli and Mastiff Godfather, leaving the audience puzzled about his decision.
Crimson quickly followed suit, securing their starting lineup.
After the scene on the screen changed, we arrived at the center of the battle castle in the Carlos region.
The Mega Evolution version is coming to an end, and perhaps when the game changes to the Crystallization version, the scene before us will also change to the Padia region.
As Qingyu thought to himself, he watched as his trainer image walked out of the player tunnel and came to Red, who was marked by a red and white hat and a Pikachu on his shoulder.
The battle was about to begin, and four Poké Balls were thrown one after another.
On Qingyu's side, Gengar, a chubby purple creature sticking out its tongue and making faces, and Agaric, with a mocking expression, appeared at the same time, instantly making the scene a little unserious.
Red's starting lineup consisted of Charizard and Snorlax.
"Did you not choose to start with Chansey because you knew your strategy revolved around eliminating songs, and that the release of these songs wouldn't be affected by accuracy?"
Qingyu nodded, completely seeing through the underlying logic of his two starter Pokémon.
"However, since we're fielding Charizard, it means our opponents will be playing a Sunny Day team this time, so—"
After a moment's thought, he immediately spoke.
"Gengar, Mega Evolve, then use Thunderbolt on Charizard!"
"Come back, you exposed mushroom!"
This tactic was perfectly understandable to the students; it was a very prudent choice and consistent with Teacher Yu's usual tactical style.
While Mushroom has the "god-tier" ability to put opponents to sleep with its Spores, it is very slow. So if it tries to put an opponent to sleep, it is likely to be instantly killed by a Mega Charizard.
Qingyu has always been known for his meticulousness and ability to anticipate several steps ahead, so it's impossible for him to rush in at the start.
His idea quickly became a reality: "Charizard, Mega Evolve, use Flamethrower on Breathless!"
"Snorlax, use Yawn! Target Gengar!"
The two trainers' phantoms simultaneously raised their right hands, revealing the Key Stones on their wrists, thus beginning the first round of their battle.
Before the white beam of light formed, Qingyu immediately recalled the newly deployed Mushroom and sent out the Marill in the backfield for a defensive gank.
Judging from the crimson command just now, his choice in this step was indeed crucial.
Flame Burst is extremely dangerous for Shroomish, especially against a powerful Mega Charizard Y with Sunny Day.
However, for a Water-type Amalurie, the damage is generally not too outrageous, and it can easily withstand this attack.
With no worries about the future, Qingyu began to focus her trainer image on Gengar.
Therefore, it was the first to complete Mega Evolution. Its originally cute square body transformed into a turret, its limbs resting on the ground like a support frame, revealing a pair of sinister eyes and a somewhat malicious smile.
At the same time, Gengar's shadow, which had merged with the ground, seemed to come alive and was rapidly spreading outwards at an extremely terrifying speed until the entire area was swallowed up.
The Snorlax and Charizard on the opponent's field seemed unaware that their shadows had been completely locked by the opponent, making it impossible for the trainer to actively retrieve them using Poké Balls.
Soon, lightning crackled from Gengar's mouth, and it swiftly unleashed a powerful burst of electricity, shooting straight towards Charizard!
But the moment the move was unleashed, Qingyu could clearly feel that the brightness of the screen suddenly increased significantly, and at the same time, the evolution glow of the opponent's half of the field gradually dissipated.
Clearly, Charizard also completed its Mega Evolution and displayed its most powerful form.
The king of the sky spread its wings in the air, bathed in the increasingly intense sunlight, and let out a clear roar in the direction of Gengar.
The Thunderbolt hits its opponent with perfect accuracy, but Mega Evolution Mega Charizard Y has greatly increased resistance to special attack moves, so even moves that are super effective against it are not fatal.
After enduring the opponent's attack with its own body, it disdainfully flapped its wings and turned its gaze to the Marill beside it. Then, without hesitation, it launched a blazing fire attack with zero frames.
After the blazing fireball was unleashed, it went straight to the unsuspecting Marill, and upon exploding, it instantly extended in five different directions, displaying the essence of the move in a "big" shape.
If the mushroom is exposed, it probably won't be able to withstand this attack at all.
Fortunately, Qingyu anticipated this moment and immediately made a substitution, which allowed him to successfully neutralize the opponent's first wave of attacks using Mariluri.
After the two Mega Paws acted one after the other, Snorlax, whose reaction was always a beat slow, finally arrived late, yawned loudly at Gengar in the distance, and then lay down on the ground again.
In the first round of the match, both sides tested each other and neither suffered significant physical exertion.
On paper, Qingyu undoubtedly profited. After all, Charizard, as the weather setter and core damage dealer of the Sunny Day team, had its HP significantly reduced by Qingyu's Thunderbolt. If he had taken a gamble, he might have been able to defeat it instantly.
However, due to Snorlax's yawn, Qingyu had to consider whether to compromise and stay on the field to deal with Charizard first, or retreat immediately to protect his Shadow Tag Mega Evolution.
The answer is actually very simple.
"Come back, Gengar!"
"Marilure, use Belly Drum!"
Qingyu immediately made a decisive command, recalling Mega Gengar to the back field and sending out Mastiff Godfather to replace it.
He knew very well that he absolutely could not be greedy at this time.
Because if you force Gengar to stay in the field and Charizard uses Protect to delay the game, causing Mega Gengar to fall asleep, then the game is already over.
Therefore, even if we suffer a small loss, we cannot let the most crucial core of the team lose its fighting power.
At the same time, a crimson command voice rang out: "Charizard, protect!"
"Snorlax, use Body Slam on Azumarill!"
When facing Qingyu, Chihong also made a relatively safe choice.
Although the audience didn't fully understand the intricate power struggle between the two, they could roughly guess what had happened.
[Teacher Yu seems to have anticipated the opponent's thoughts again, which is outrageous!]
[The opponent was also afraid that Teacher Yu would not play by the rules, so they played it safe, and as a result, nothing happened on either side.]
[This is obvious. Our opponent is Teacher Yu. If you try anything fancy, you'll be in big trouble and won't win in a second. We have to play it safe!]
[Teacher Yu's predictions are still so artistic, but this time the opponent's performance was also quite good. As expected of a newcomer who can gain Teacher Yu's approval, he's as strong as a monster.]
Amidst the barrage of comments, Aoba's Marill had already started pounding her belly with all her might, playing a completely chaotic belly drumming routine.
After using this move, its stamina instantly shrank by nearly half, but its fighting spirit was visibly high, and even the muscles on its arms were clearly visible.
Belly Drum Strongman Marill is a simple and practical tactic that anyone who has played Pokémon Champions will inevitably encounter sooner or later.
After the abdominal drumming, Mariluri followed the procedure and took out a grapefruit from behind her back, swallowed it in a few bites, and instantly restored the energy she had lost from the abdominal drumming to a healthy state.
It wasn't until it had finished its mission that Snorlax, who was always slow due to its size and personality, finally arrived.
Suddenly, Snorlax on the Crimson Field pushed off with its feet, leaving a deep rut in the ground. Its massive body then leaped into the air with incredible agility, transforming into a black shadow as it plummeted towards Azumarill's location.
"boom--!"
Snorlax's weight of up to half a ton is an unbearable burden for most living creatures under normal circumstances, not to mention that it further amplifies the power of its moves by using gravity in the air.
If it were a smaller Pokémon, it wouldn't be surprising if it were crushed into a meat patty by this.
Even someone as strong as Marilullie couldn't withstand its "flesh-ball impact" and was immediately pinned down, her strength diminishing as a result.
The good news is that at least its tendons weren't compressed, so it didn't become paralyzed.
At this point, Crimson's target naturally fell on Mariluri.
One reason is that its physical strength is not very good, and another reason is that it is quite threatening after its abdomen bulges. It might be killed instantly by a water jet.
Therefore, without even thinking, Crimson immediately decided to give orders in front of the computer—
While Marill is a powerful fighter, it has a fatal flaw: it is not fast, so it can't gain the upper hand against Y-type jets.
With its built-in Sunny Day system, the Y-type spray only needs one Sunbeam to immediately deplete its remaining health, allowing it to continue fulfilling its turret role.
But the words were on the tip of her tongue, and Chi Hong swallowed them back down.
Because he instinctively felt that something was amiss.
Given Teacher Yu's tactical expertise, it's impossible that he didn't know that Azur Lane could be defeated by Charizard.
But he still sent out this Marilloli.
In a sunny weather team, it not only can't counter Charizard, but it can also be countered by Venusaur, making it absolutely useless.
Against other ordinary opponents, this extremely simple belly drum tactic might be understandable.
Teacher Dan Yu —
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
The crimson silence lasted for several seconds until he suddenly remembered the bizarre tactics he had encountered when he passed through Cerulean City and challenged Misty, the Cerulean City Gym Leader.
Herbivorous?
A bead of cold sweat instantly trickled down his flushed cheek, giving him a lingering sense of fear.
That's right, Teacher Yu's Marill might not necessarily have the Huge Power ability; it could also be the Herbivore ability specifically designed to counter Grass-type Pokémon!
Using the Sunbeam rashly might not only fail to instantly defeat Amarillie, but could also lead to endless troubles and create problems for oneself.
.——
Thinking it over, Crimson immediately made a decision: "Charizard, come back first!"
"Snorlax, keep using Body Slam to reduce Azrael's HP!"
As he spoke, a smile suddenly appeared on his crimson face, and he looked meaningfully at the trainer image of Qingyu on the screen.
As expected of Teacher Yu, I almost fell for his trap.
Only opponents of this caliber can truly test whether I am qualified to challenge for the championship.
