Chapter 409 The Mega Kangaskhan Who Makes a Child Cry
Let's go back to Sunday evening.
Qingyu is thinking about what lineup to use today to bring a surprising performance to the students who are looking forward to his "lesson".
Just as he opened Pokémon TV, preparing to find some inspiration, he suddenly noticed a new video posted on the homepage.
[Unveiling the Mystery of Mega Evolution - Pokédex #115, Kangaskhan]
The title looked so old-fashioned that Qingyu would normally have no interest in clicking it.
However, on the one hand, the name Kangaskhan suddenly brought back some interesting memories, and on the other hand, the user who posted the video was "Oki Yukinari".
The highest mountain in the world of Pokémon battles, the longest river in the field of academic research, even on the Internet, my number of fans is still some distance from this senior.
Qingyu knew that Professor Oak's two trump cards were Dragonite and Kangaskhan.
"I never expected Professor Oak to start researching Mega Evolution."
Qingyu raised an eyebrow.
He knew from the beginning that Pokémon Champion would be the first game to feature Mega Evolution, and that the Hoenn and Kalos regions would definitely provide strong support.
After all, being able to promote one's region's unique characteristics to the whole world is definitely beneficial to the region's reputation and international prestige.
Moreover, as long as they can quickly generate buzz in the early stages, they won't need to do anything more afterward. Interested people will naturally gather and eventually uncover the mechanism of Mega Evolution.
Now even Professor Oak has become curious and started trying out these new tricks.
In that sense, the terrecrystallization of Padia is actually following the same path.
It's worth studying carefully.
So Aoba clicked on Professor Oak's video.
Although the team consists of researchers, the "Yukinari Oki" account has a warm and humorous style, especially in its sharp and witty commentary on Professor Oki's impromptu senryu.
However, when it's time to be serious, Professor Oak will still give a very formal introduction.
"Unlike other Pokémon, Mega Kangaskhan's growth is primarily driven by the baby in its mother's pouch."
"The mother gave up most of her energy, allowing the baby marsupial to grow temporarily, enabling it to fight independently and become competitive due to its desire to protect its mother."
"The kangaroo mother is filled with joy as her child grows and becomes very motivated."
"Perhaps when the mother Kangaskhan sees her child's back after Mega Evolution, she sometimes thinks about the day of their inevitable parting—"
"At this moment, I really want to compose a senryu!"
"Kangaskhan Mega Evolution: A High-Five Attack Showing Parental Love, and It Even Boosts Its Punch!"
After watching the video, Qingyu had only one thought: experience makes all the difference; he was completely at ease with the situation.
Originally, popular science content should be very hardcore, but the team easily instilled complex knowledge into the audience's brains amidst the noise and commotion.
Professor Oak's ideas on how Mega Kangaskhan would perform in actual combat impressed Aoba.
"As expected of a battle legend, they were able to come up with the idea of having the mother and baby Kangaskhan use Fake Out and Boost Punch respectively, getting a free boost right from the start —"
"Or you can use a high-five to surprise two Pokémon at once, restraining two Pokémon with your own strength, which can create a terrifying advantage in wild battles."
"Anyone would be shocked to encounter such an unreasonable playing style in a match!"
"In addition, Professor Oak also gave a fairly detailed explanation of Kangaskhan's other common moves, such as Return, Suicide Slam, and Tackle."
Qingyu seemed to be deep in thought, and soon her eyes became playful.
"Since that's the case, let's follow Professor Oak's line of thought today and supplement the tactics for Kangaskhan in the game. Let's play with 'numerical' tactics again after a long time."
When it comes to Mega Evolution, Lava Hound is definitely a name that can't be ignored!
It's 6:30 p.m.
This point was originally supposed to be the usual segment of "waiting and expectantly cursing Teacher Yu".
However, Qingyu's appearance time today was much earlier than usual.
As viewers gradually flooded into the live stream, Qingyu had already opened Pokémon Champion and was giving pointers in the team editor interface.
"In short, today we're going to play a very formulaic doubles team composition for climbing the ranks!"
"In the Mega Evolution version, there is a Pokémon whose original strength may not be considered strong, but after Mega Evolution, it undergoes a complete transformation and becomes a super popular main force in teams."
"That's right, it is one."
"Mega Kangaskhan!"
【Who are you? The Yu teacher I know would never start a broadcast early!】
[Indeed, something's off 90% of the time. Teacher Yu didn't even use the basic tactics today. Is this the end of my youth?]
[Kangaskhan — Professor Oak seems to have introduced this Pokémon as well, but it always feels like it has a very low profile, and not many trainers use it.]
[After all, Kangaskhan are social Pokémon and rarely come into contact with humans.]
[Occasionally, Teacher Yu will personify a Pokémon and play around with some less common Pokémon to give everyone a lesson. You'll get used to it!]
"Don't underestimate Kangaskhan, especially after Mega Evolution. Kangaskhan can definitely be the core of the team!"
Although Qingyu had a very high opinion of Kangaskhan, the comments from the viewers were rather lukewarm.
However, he could understand it.
After all, the power of Mega Kangaskhan cannot be fully demonstrated by simply looking at its Pokédex entry.
In the Pokédex, Kangaskhan's base stat total is 490, which is not high. Even after Mega Evolution, it only has 590, which is even lower than some of the late-blooming Pokémon in their normal state.
Ultimately, however, racial stats are only one factor influencing combat strength.
Other factors such as traits, skill pool, attributes, and compatibility with the team are all very important.
There was a widely circulated meme about the "Los Angeles team" in the past, which was based on the Los Angeles Lakers, an NBA team with a star-studded lineup and incredibly strong roster on paper.
In Pokémon, Team Los Angeles generally refers to a team consisting of Mega Kangaskhan, Landorus, Thundurus, Cresselia, Heatran, and another support Pokémon (usually Sylveon or Amoonguss).
In this stable setup, all four Pokémon except Mega Kangaskhan are legendary Pokémon.
Being able to sit at the same table as mythical beasts and become the core damage dealer in the team shows just how powerful it is.
Therefore, Mega Kangaskhan's initial counterpart was the core player of the real Los Angeles team, and he earned the nickname "Kangaskhan".
With the perfect coordination of Lao Da and several legendary Pokémon, this Leng Wuque team has an extremely high potential and is very versatile. Just looking at their average base stats of nearly 600, you can tell that they have almost no weaknesses.
Although the lineup doesn't have a fixed strategy and relies on adapting to different situations, requiring a high level of proficiency, it can definitely produce terrifying results in the hands of Qingyu, who has played thousands of matches with this lineup in her previous life and uses it with unparalleled skill.
After all, you really couldn't rank up if you didn't use this strategy back then!
To rank up, don't be afraid to shiver.
Unfortunately, Pokémon Champions does not include data on legendary Pokémon, so it is impossible to use them.
Therefore, Qingyu had no choice but to use a low-spec lineup.
Soon, a lineup appeared before the audience.
The first one to be affected is naturally Kangaskhan, the core of this team and who has already secured the Mega Evolution rank.
Most of the other Pokémon are also quite familiar to everyone.
The Tutu dog that Qingyu uses most often;
Incineroar, which he called the "number one Pokémon in the universe";
Despite being extremely afraid of Fairy-type monsters, Hydreigon, a pseudo-god of Unova, still holds a place in battles.
And a Scizor, which is excellent for team defense and has a Ditto whose purpose is unclear.
"Kangaskhan is a single Normal-type Pokémon, so it only has one weakness: Fighting-type attacks. And most Fighting-type attacks are physical attacks."
"Therefore, the best way to protect a Kangaskhan is to bring a deterrent, not to mention that Incineroar has other uses besides deterrence."
While editing the team configuration, Qingyu explained.
"In addition, Hydreigon can be used to cover some of the types that Kangaskhan struggles against, such as Ghost-type Pokémon."
"The Scizor is a very reliable alternative for both defensive and offensive purposes."
"As for Smeargle and Ditto—let's keep that a secret for now."
The team, though seemingly a bit thin, has all the essential elements.
At least Qingyu thinks it's okay.
[Seeing the Teddy Bear makes me laugh. Teacher Yu still can't forget about Shield-shrooms and Spores, huh? Thinking of all sorts of hypnotic tactics!]
[A reassuring little dog named TuTu; when I was a puppy, seeing it made me sleep for three hours straight!]
[Can Ditto really be used for battles? — It feels like a very awkward choice. I remember it only mimics other Pokémon?]
[Is Incineroar appearing a bit too often? Are Pokémon from Alola really that powerful? —]
[Teacher Yu's Picks: When you're unsure which team to use, like the Defeat Balloon, bringing one is always a safe bet. I've already reached the High Ball level thanks to this team-building strategy!]
[Alright, alright, I wish you success in defeating Teacher Yu soon!]
Regarding the audience's predictions, Qingyu only gave a mysterious smile and didn't say anything more.
Since Smeargle's sketch can record many Pokémon moves, theoretically there is no limit to how many it can capture.
While mushroom spores are a reliable way to hypnotize opponents, this Tutu dog's role today goes beyond that.
I'm so angry and cold. Can't a Tutu dog be the big brother?
"You'll find out exactly how to use this lineup in actual combat."
"Only through actual combat can the core strategy of this lineup be clearly demonstrated, so let's start with matchmaking."
""
After Qingyu finished speaking, she decisively pressed the match button and began her "torture" journey in ranked matches today.
Because it's doubles, he often uses unconventional and fun lineups, so his ranking score isn't as high as in singles. He's only at the upper level of advanced balls, and there's still a bit of a gap between him and the master ball rank.
However, precisely because of this, it has become much more difficult to snipe him.
The matching process lasted less than a minute, and soon a pop-up window appeared in front of Qingyu, showing a young trainer who looked very motivated.
The usual pattern of playing a familiar opponent in the first match every day has been broken; this time, the opponent was clearly just an ordinary random player.
Trainer ID: I love cute Pokémon the most!
For some reason, Qingyu suddenly felt a strange sense of guilt.
If, like his ID, this young student became a trainer and achieved a relatively high rank in the game using Ultra Balls because of his love for cute Pokémon—
If I were to defeat him with Kangaskhan, it would feel like it would destroy the beliefs that this trainer has always upheld.
Moreover, he doesn't seem that old, and the fact that he made a child cry seems to contradict his usual gentle and kind image.
But now that we've already been matched with an opponent, we have no choice but to go for it!
""
After hesitating for a moment, Qingyu still chose to press the confirm button.
The opponent also seemed to have gone through a long period of careful consideration, and only made the difficult decision to play against him at the very last moment of the match countdown.
While facing Teacher Yu as an opponent certainly puts a lot of pressure on me, if I can learn something from it, it will definitely become a valuable asset for life.
Many students share similar thoughts, which is why they persist in challenging the Sunshine Dojo despite countless failures.
And countless facts have proven this point; battling Qingyu can indeed lead to rapid improvement.
Even the kings and champions can have their shortcomings pointed out by Qingyu.
With both sides confirming the match, the opponent's lineup quickly came into view.
Azumarill, Togekiss, Metagross, Dragapult, Greatsmith, Gardevoir.
At first glance, there seem to be quite a few cute Pokémon, but in reality, there are also two powerful pseudo-legendary Pokémon mixed in, so the overall battle strength is not bad.
If you rely solely on your cuteness, it will indeed be very difficult to maintain your high-level ranking in an increasingly competitive environment.
However, the moment Qingyu saw the opponent's lineup, he subconsciously frowned and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up in a smile.
This lineup —
I feel like I've seen this before.
There's a subtle feeling that once you choose your team, you're bound to encounter opponents who use those Pokémon.
Qingyu blinked and, without hesitation, selected her Pokémon for the 4 out of 6 doubles battle.
The starting lineup consists of Kangaskhan and Smeargle, while the backcourt is Incineroar and Scizor.
Soon, the opposing team also made their starting lineup selection.
The scene on the screen quickly changed, bringing us to the center of the magnificent battle castle.
The trainer phantoms of both sides quickly appeared on either side and simultaneously threw a total of four Poké Balls.
On Qingyu's side, the combination of Tutu and Kangaskhan was already known to the audience.
The opposing team fielded a starting lineup consisting of Marilluri and Pokkis.
[Is the plan to have Togekiss use "Look at Me" to attract attention, then have Amari use Belly Drum to boost her power to its peak and start pushing the team?]
To be honest, the opponent's ID looks a bit shady, and their playstyle could easily mislead you!
[Hmm—not bad at all, no wonder it ranks so high in the advanced ball rank.]
[It's a pity we ran into Teacher Yu. Teacher Yu couldn't possibly have missed such a simple tactic, could he?]
After half a year of continuous teaching from Qingyu, the level of the bullet comments has indeed improved significantly, and they can even immediately see through the opponent's thoughts.
As for Qingyu, upon seeing his opponent's choice, he immediately and without hesitation gave the command: "Kangaskhan, Mega Evolve!"
"Smeargle, transform! Target: Mega Kangaskhan!"
While using mushroom spores can significantly reduce the opponent's combat power, there are actually even more outrageous uses for Thumbelina in this lineup.
That is—to have two Mega Kangaskhan on your field at the same time!
