Chapter 466 Teacher Yu teaches you how to play the Annihilation Song!
Sunday, August 28.
Ever since he used his signature Z-Move a few days ago, which ended before he even realized what was happening, Professor Kukui has been relentlessly pursuing him, determined to find out exactly what happened with that move he used against Sylveon.
Of course, the results of the subsequent tests can all be described in four words:
He's addicted to bad food!
Sylveon is already very skilled at sketching, and having already mastered the technique of releasing its aura while sketching Blood Moon, its control over the power of Z-Moves is also perfect.
Under such circumstances, the Z-Move "Mirror Flower Water Moon No Return Dream" that Qingyu and it developed together should not be underestimated.
Whenever Dr. Kukui is affected, he instantly loses consciousness and becomes immersed in one of the most regrettable moments in his memory.
Until consciousness returns to the body.
After several attempts over several days, with July fast approaching and the Padilla Championship Roadshow about to begin, Qingyu, as the "number one tough guy" on this championship roadshow, naturally needs to return as soon as possible.
For this reason, although Dr. Kukui wanted to conduct further experiments to see if repeated exposure could eventually lead to resistance to "dreams," he was clear about the priorities and had to temporarily abandon the experiment.
So, after declining Dr. Kukui's kind offer to stay, Qingyu returned to his most loyal Sunny Gym.
This trip to Alola took about the same amount of time as my last trip to Sinnoh, but it was much more relaxed and leisurely.
After all, it was humans who took the initiative to decipher the Sinnoh Pokémon, and he spent most of his time communicating with the legendary Pokémon, plus assisting Cynthia's archaeological work, which required him to process a lot of information every day.
Although this earned them their friendship and allowed them to readily summon the Sinnoh Trinity for support, it also left them physically and mentally exhausted.
As for Alola, he basically doesn't need to worry about anything.
Before Necrozma awakened, Alola's crisis was limited to the Ultra Beast level; even without Necrozma, the International Police and the island guardians would be responsible for quelling it.
Therefore, this trip was his real vacation.
And the harvest was quite good.
In addition to the Z-Crystal from Sylveon, Dr. Kukui also gave him a complete set of 18 type Z-Crystals as "commentary wages," further expanding his arsenal.
He's already mastered Mega Evolution and Crystallization, and now he has Z-Moves. All that's missing is Dynamax, and he can already call himself a "master of all four systems," which might truly be a first in the Pokémon world.
"However—with my Pokémon's current strength, wouldn't it be too unfair to go all out on the Champion Road?"
After returning home, Qingyu sat on the living room sofa and fell into deep thought.
With only a few days left until the championship, the students are all preparing with intense excitement. Even the number of posts on the Orange Academy forum has decreased significantly in the past few days.
If we let those students who are full of expectations stop here, it feels like Sunshine Dojo's already precarious positive review rate will hit a new low.
However, if they don't demonstrate their strength and let too many people pass through their side, they won't be able to explain themselves to Chairman Yeci.
Moreover, the champion will most likely have to go to Zone Zero with me for training. If too many students pass through the Path of the Champion this year and the overall strength is too weak, there might be trouble if we encounter the Paradoxical Species.
What is a way to make myself not too cautious in my fighting, for fear of making my opponent cry with one move, while also allowing my students to adapt to my intensity?
Some brothers, some.
Qingyu suddenly recalled how he played when he first became a gym leader.
In the beginning, in order to broaden the students' knowledge, and since there weren't that many Pokémon in the gyms, I chose a model of renting and rotating tactical assessments.
The students were both furious and resentful of his endless tricks, yet they had to admit that these tricks were indeed effective and improved their strength very quickly. It was at this point that many students officially embarked on the path to becoming trainers.
So why not just repeat the same trick on the road to the championship, reveal your Pokémon tactics to the students, and then let them come up with strategies to counter you?
Qingyu nodded and quickly left the dojo.
He hadn't been back to Padilla for many days, and his main Pokémon were now lying outside the small house he had expanded outside the gym, leisurely basking in the sun around Milton.
"Bonnieyo~"
When Qingyu appeared, Erguilan was the first to notice him and waved enthusiastically.
Since it was sunbathing time, the evil spirit put its mask back inside its clothes, revealing its round face that looked as innocent as a child, and its smile became a little more naive.
In stark contrast to its intimidating appearance when wearing a mask, it's impossible to tell that they are actually the same Pokémon.
"I'm just wandering around, don't worry about me."
After Qingyu finished speaking with a smile, he took the initiative to walk over and lean against the somewhat rough wings of the Salamence, while turning his attention to his main force.
If you include Mewtwo, the team has three legendary Pokémon, and even the other Pokémon each have their own formidable skills.
Needless to say, if it gets serious, even Nemo's main team would have a hard time withstanding one hit from it. When it comes to the Road to the Championship, we must repeatedly remind it to hold back a little.
As for Milton, although theoretically it is the player with the highest base stats in its team, for various reasons (especially its personality), it has become the player that Qingyu is most at ease with at present.
After all, he could hardly imagine that this chubby dragon, who did nothing but eat and sleep, would suddenly become powerful, and its acting skills were also very professional.
Then comes Sylveon.
"Bu-i?"
When Qingyu turned his gaze, Sylveon also turned its head at the same time, looking at him with curiosity.
"It's nothing, but considering the championship journey in a few days, it's better to temporarily seal your Z-Move, otherwise I'm afraid it will leave a psychological scar on the students."
Qingyu patted its head and explained with a smile.
At the same time, I was secretly sweating bullets.
Pure martial arts fanatics like Dr. Kukui are a minority; otherwise, how could he become a regional champion?
If the students' "nightmares" are played repeatedly, they might be driven to the brink of collapse, and eventually lose the courage to challenge themselves.
Therefore, Z-Move is more suitable for high-level games.
Moreover, even without its own Z-Move, Sylveon's strength is already quite impressive, and it also has all sorts of strange and underhanded tricks learned through sketching.
If possible, it would be better to use damage-dealing moves like Blood Moon as little as possible, and instead assess students through mechanics.
Qingyu then turned her gaze to Lucario, who was focused on practicing his sword in the distance.
Since acquiring the Blade of Calamity and learning sword techniques and attack skills against "giant creatures" from the Sword and Shield Dogs, Lucario has embarked on his path of mastering both fists and swords.
In close combat, it not only has fists the size of sandbags, but also powerful slashes that are wielded with great force, capable of unleashing ice-attribute sword energy and possessing the rudiments of a giant beast slash.
The only minor problem is that it's a bit reckless in its attacks, so the Champion's Road should probably confiscate its sword for a while first.
In this way, the few kids in the team who were giving him a headache had their strength suppressed by a lot. Even the students should be able to exchange blows, or even fight back and forth—right?
Qingyu sighed and looked at the Salamence behind him.
Because it hasn't evolved for very long, Salamence's combat power isn't particularly strong yet, unless you count its unrestricted Mega Evolution.
In terms of evolution, her strength might even rank below that of Aisume in the team.
However, it does have its advantages, namely, it makes up for the team's most lacking air combat capability, and can repeatedly harass the opponent in actual combat with its extremely fast flight speed.
This can be considered a special test question for the students.
If you can't fight Salamence in the air, you should at least have a Pokémon that can deal with aerial enemies; otherwise, you'll be completely helpless when facing flying opponents.
Regular quizzes are fine, but to become a champion, you can't have any obvious weaknesses to be considered balanced.
As for the last little maidservant—
"Hmm?"
When Qingyu cast a glance at her, Aiguanshi blinked, looking somewhat curious.
"It's alright, I trust you the most."
Qingyu smiled and shook her head.
This little maidservant of ours, who came to us seeking adoption, might only be an average dojo mainstay in terms of combat strength, with her most powerful moves limited to wide-area attacks.
But when it comes to cunning tactics, Aizen is the undisputed leader in the entire dojo.
Apart from Mewtwo, even Sylveon, who can sketch, would have to admit defeat.
Whether it's the "Hypnotic Field" that Darkrai learns after casting Dark Hole, or the emotional control that absorbs the opponent's negative emotions to feed back to oneself and makes the opponent more ruthless the more they are vulnerable, it's perfect for testing the students' mentality.
Speaking of this, Qingyu suddenly remembered what he had seen and heard during his commentary on the Ice Attribute Master Tournament.
Kona's tactics were simple and brutal, but the key factors in winning the championship were not just the obviously overpowered Articuno.
The Song Annihilation tactic designed around Laplace is also invaluable; Qingyu would call it the "Charge Song Annihilation" or "Ice Song Annihilation" tactic.
It was completely different from the way he had imagined the Annihilation Song strategy, but there was no inherent superiority or inferiority in the tactics themselves; any tactic that could lead to victory was a good tactic.
But it's a song of annihilation—
When it comes to this move, the first thing that comes to mind for Qingyu is naturally the famous Shadow Step Annihilation Song tactic.
This tactic has indeed been used in the Pokémon world; Agatha Christie, who lived in the Kanto region at the same time as Professor Oak, was one of its pioneers.
The strategy for Shadow Tag Perish Song is very simple: use the effect of the Perish Song move as the core, lock the opponent on the field with the Shadow Tag ability while Perish Song is triggered, and then use Protect to delay as much time as possible.
Especially in doubles, this tactic is arguably the most cunning finishing move; once the opportunity is seized, the only outcome is often a slow and painful defeat.
Two of the four Pokémon were immediately eliminated, and the win rate plummeted from that moment on, with no chance of recovery.
However, in singles battles in the Pokémon world, this move is not that effective, but it is good at consistently eliminating opponents and is very suitable for testing the opponent's skill level.
It is the purest form of mechanic-based kill, and it also aligns with the goal of the Champion Road to select elite trainers.
so----
Qingyu immediately made a decision and looked at Sylveon.
Let's use the "song-annihilation tactic" as the exam paper for this "final exam"!
There aren't many Pokémon that can use the move End Song; normally, you shouldn't have any Pokémon in your team that can learn this move.
But Aoba asked himself honestly—it seemed like none of the Pokémon in his team had ever been legal.
As the chosen one of the creator gods, it would be quite reasonable for Arceus to use the technique of the End Song in his sketching skills!
It was 6:30 p.m.
Although Qingyu has stopped his tactical live streams for a while and has been busy streaming the Ice-type Masters Tournament recently, many students and trainers from other regions still habitually turn on Pokémon TV at this time, hoping that "Teacher Yu will return like lightning."
[To be honest, the Road to Champions opens in a couple of days, why is everyone still stuck in the live stream? Aren't you going to prepare?]
[Fun fact: The first champion on this road to the championship was Teacher Yu, so I've given up all hope and will just go for the fun of it.]
[Teacher Yu is already sitting at the judges' table, why is she still here to evaluate us newbies?!]
[Is it possible that Teacher Yu is also a newcomer? I think he only became the dojo master last year?]
[What?! You're writing a novel here? From rookie gym owner to attribute master champion in a year—wait a minute? Holy crap, the information seems to be true!]
Just as the students were chatting idly and suddenly discovered an extremely outrageous truth, a white light flashed on their cell phone or computer screens, and then Qingyu, dressed in a cool, island-style outfit, appeared in front of them.
"Hey everyone, Alola~"
Qingyu greeted him with a smile and a slight Alola accent, instantly causing the live chat to explode.
Of course, he didn't really pay much attention to what the comments were actually about.
Today's live stream is crucial, serving as a final review of key exam points for students before the road to the championship begins. We need to get them into the zone quickly.
"This live stream is mainly to give all the students of Padia a heads-up. After all, as you all probably already know, I, Teacher Yu, will be temporarily taking on the role of the King of the Hill and becoming the first examiner on the Road to the Champion."
"Just like the previous gym challenges, before the road to championship begins, I will introduce the tactics I plan to use to the students. As for how to break through—"
"Now it's time to put your clever little brains to work!"
Qingyu suddenly became excited and shouted with a laugh—
"So, today Ms. Yu will teach you your last lesson of the semester!"
"Let's change the title of this live stream to 'Teacher Yu Teaches You How to Play Annihilation Song'~"
