"wrong!"
When Qingyu shouted out the name "Entangled Crane," Nemo, who had been looking serious as if she were fighting against Teacher Yu on the field, suddenly frowned and slapped her thigh.
"you"
You've taken a picture of the wrong person!
Pipa's lips twitched, but after noticing that Nemo was completely absorbed in her own world, she could only shake her head helplessly.
Once Nemo enters this state, she simply can't listen to anyone else. "This Flamingo's abilities are definitely a perfect match!"
Nemo stood up excitedly, her eyes fixed on the third Pokémon that Qingyu had sent out.
As soon as she spoke, many students began to whisper among themselves.
"Performing together on the same stage, what kind of characteristic is that?"
"It seems to be Flamingo's unique ability, but we don't have that kind of Pokémon in Unova—"
"Why worry about so much? Just scan it with the encyclopedia and you'll know~"
Soon, many students took out their Rotom Pokédex and learned about the unique ability of this Padia Pokémon.
"Performing together on stage—the effect is that upon entering the scene, the abilities of your companions will be copied???"
The simple and clear effect had a significant impact on them.
After all, since Teacher Yu has already used it, it means—
The dodge boost from shrinking will most likely be inherited as well?
Generally speaking, novice trainers would scoff at such a trait, because it's essentially equivalent to having one less trait in a single battle.
Those with some experience in doubles might find that this characteristic can occasionally prove surprisingly effective.
For example, after a successful enhancement, can there be two big brothers on the field at the same time?
But Teacher Yu chose the strategy with the most comments: he copied the shrinking tactic!
When the flamingo appeared, it immediately looked at its teammate Mud beside it.
After its incredibly sharp gaze locked onto its opponent, its body began to shrink rapidly, just like Mud.
Muk's body also underwent some minor changes, but they were not very noticeable.
【What are you doing, Ms. Yu?!】
[Holy crap, they shrunk twice as big! Luckily, Smeargle died quickly, otherwise both Pokémon would have disappeared!]
To be honest, I'm not surprised at all that Teacher Yu came up with such a bizarre idea!
"I already said it's a scientific shrinking team, right? In doubles, it can directly copy your teammate's shrinking count, doubling the effect. Isn't that scientific?"
Ignoring Du Ruo, whose face had turned somewhat pale, Qing Yu smiled and spoke.
It's a pity that the opponent was Du Ruo, whose team had a lot of firepower. Otherwise, Tu Tu Quan might have been able to last another round.
In this way, two Pokémon shrunk to their minimum size will be standing on the field. If you don't use moves that are super effective against shrinking, your opponent might not be able to touch you at all by the end of the battle.
However, the desired effect has already been achieved.
"Du Ruo, you did a great job, but let's put the match on hold for now."
Qingyu waved to the other person, indicating that he could leave.
After all, it was just a teaching demonstration; if it really came down to a fight, it might not be a good thing.
Du Ruo didn't want to fall into any dirty tricks. He was also worried about what would happen if he got caught in a dragon's dive and crashed into the car, or even if he was unlucky enough to be instantly killed.
That would be embarrassing.
Therefore, leaving blank space is the best choice!
"Many Pokémon are unpopular, but that's only because the current meta is singles battles, so some of their abilities can't be utilized."
"For example, the ability to perform together on the same stage can be greatly utilized in doubles."
After Du Ruo left, Qing Yu smiled again.
"And that's the idea I wanted to share through this shrinking tactic."
"Since the main battle style in Blueberry Academy is doubles, students can also try to find these less common abilities or Pokémon to find new battle styles that suit them better."
"In a sense, isn't this also a kind of 'treasure hunt'?"
"As expected of Teacher Yu!"
Nemo was indeed the first to respond to him, but her gaze remained fixed on Muk, which had returned to its normal size.
She didn't really know much about the Alolan form of Muk, so she had a lingering question: "Teacher Yu, what is the ability of this Muk?"
Nemo always asks questions directly, and this time was no exception.
Qingyu was somewhat surprised by her question, but at the same time very pleased.
He felt that giving the students some guidance would be enough, so he didn't mention anything about Mud.
But since Nemo asked, he wouldn't hide it from her.
"It is a characteristic of chemical forces."
"The effect is that when a teammate is knocked unconscious and leaves the field, Muk inherits its ability."
"So actually, the moment Flamingo appeared, Muk immediately changed to the Mood Swirl ability."
In actual gameplay, the impact of fluctuating mood is not significant; it won't directly trigger two different colored lights and provide text prompts like in the game.
However, experienced trainers can still tell the difference.
Muk's eyes have become sharper, and its body has become softer, clearly indicating a significant increase in attack power and a decrease in defense.
This is also why it pairs with Smeargle – it's already difficult to hit Smeargle after shrinking, and if its defense or special defense is further boosted by its ability, it becomes even more outrageous.
"I see--"
After listening to Qingyu's words, Ziyu seemed to be deep in thought.
She felt she had gained a new understanding of the shrinking tactic.
But I still care about it!
"Teacher Aoba!"
After thinking for a moment, Zigan suddenly raised his hand and asked his question after receiving a nod from Qingyu.
"While Smeargle allows Muk to use Shrink relatively safely, it's pointless if the opponent has a move like Dragon Dive, right?"
"And it feels like just dodging to buy time isn't enough to take control of the battle—?"
"That's true."
Qingyu agreed with her.
"But what if we look at it from a different angle?"
After all, the Squad is a more entertainment-oriented lineup, often used to torment opponents.
To truly make the squad strong, it still needs a big brother riding a dark horse.
Relying on its high speed, Dark Knight can immediately use self-suggestion to copy and increase its evasion rate upon entering the field, and it is not very afraid of pressure-type moves. Dark Knight's only weaknesses are Ghost and Dark, and these two types have no moves that counter shrinking in the generation in which it appeared.
Therefore, the shrunken Black Horse King doesn't need to pay any price to minimize the probability of being hit.
Its explosive firepower means that the Squad doesn't need to rely on Mud to poison and stall for time to win; they can simply use Starburst to overwhelm the opponent.
Ugh, the stars are shattered!
This is the true, complete form of the Shrink Squad.
Unfortunately, the Calycanthus is currently lying dormant somewhere, so I won't be able to get my hands on it for the students as material for their research.
It's a bit of a pity, but there's nothing we can do about it.
We can't just go to the Crown Snowfield for something like this!
After giving the students a brief lesson to broaden their thinking, Qingyu planned to have them randomly pair up and explore more new tactics through practical combat.
The morning passed quickly, and Nemo and the other two had a great time, experiencing a doubles match that was a rare sight in Padia.
Especially Pipa—
His Pokémon are perfect for doubles battles; they can coordinate well with any partner and have all sorts of unusual moves.
When the Salt King appeared, the opposing team, whose lineup mainly consisted of Water-type Pokémon, was so scared they almost cried.
Even Nemo and Purple Pole's team were no match for him, easily defeated by Pipa and Peony.
With Pipa's abilities, it would be a waste for him to be a researcher or breeder. Qingyu has felt regret for countless times.
But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, Piper's own wishes are the most important. He just enjoys the fun of raising Pokémon and has little interest in commanding them to battle.
The Pokémon world emphasizes diverse development, and only a minority are willing to specialize in the path of a trainer. In any case, the students learned a lot in this class, and Qingyu also made his debut as an "interaction teacher", which is truly commendable.
During the afternoon's free time for the students, Qingyu didn't forget that he had important business to attend to: he needed to go to the Dragon Spiral Tower to retrieve the Light Stone that Reshiram had transformed into.
After saying goodbye to Principal Xi Lan, Qing Yu mounted the Salamence and flew in the direction indicated by Rotom's mobile phone map.
The Dragon Spiral Tower is located in the northern part of Snowflake City and is said to be the site where the Thousand-Year War of the Unova ended.
When Qingyu arrived in the nearby airspace, he easily discovered this very special building.
Time has left many cracks on the tower, and there are many gaps on the outside, through which one can vaguely glimpse the interior.
Inside, there were collapsed stone pillars everywhere, but for some reason, the overall structure of the spiral tower did not collapse as a result, as if a delicate balance had been achieved.
Perhaps it was caused by the power of the two dragons?
Qingyu didn't think about this problem in depth, since even if it collapsed, everyone would always rebuild it.
This is the oldest building in the history of the Union Empire, and it is also the birthplace and final resting place of the Black and White Dragons. If it were to collapse, it would be a very bad omen.
But does United States have such a saying?
"Click!"
"Good job, Salamence!"
The Salamence landed slowly on the top of the tower, and Qingyu leaped off its broad shoulders.
Since he has flying Pokémon, he certainly doesn't need to climb up layer by layer like in the game, or even have to overcome numerous obstacles and accept challenges from every trainer who makes eye contact with him along the way.
Qingyu's target for this trip, the "Stone of Light," was placed openly and legitimately on the stone steps at the very center.
As he approached, the once unremarkable white stone began to gleam, as if guiding him to continue forward.
"...
Qingyu was speechless for a moment.
Is this considered a traditional skill in the Pokémon world?
The two gems of Hoenn seem to have been placed directly on the top of the mountain, as if afraid the villains wouldn't know their location.
Unova is at least better, since although this one is also made of rock, it is at least a legendary Pokémon and has its own consciousness.
If it is taken by someone who does not approve of it, it may incur the wrath of a god.
So even Quixote probably wouldn't dare to provoke such a bad influence.
Qingyu then walked straight forward and lifted the seemingly heavy Light Stone high.
"Reshiram, get★daze!"
After uttering a famous line, Qingyu suddenly felt a little bored.
"Did I acquire it a little too easily? I don't feel any sense of accomplishment at all—"
"Logically, shouldn't N be riding Zekrom straight over here, fighting me head-on, and then using words of wisdom to successfully win him over?"
[—Czechrum is not here; it has left to follow its chosen "ideal hero."]
However, if you're really interested, you can head to Raven City now.
I can feel the presence of Czechoslovakia.
The telepathic connection from Reshiram reappeared, confirming Qingyu's suspicions.
It was indeed not asleep at all; the stone form was probably just their usual charging mode, conserving energy for when necessary.
"Raven City—did they go ride the Ferris wheel?"
Qingyu seemed to be deep in thought.
He suddenly remembered that N did seem to have a fondness for riding Ferris wheels.
Perhaps it's to make up for lost time in childhood?
Anyway, I don't have much to do lately, so I might as well go.
Even if you don't find N, you can still experience this most vibrant entertainment city.
Just consider it a vacation for yourself!
However, just as Qingyu was preparing to ride away on the Flying Dragon, he suddenly felt several whooshing sounds coming from the air.
Looking up, a desert dragonfly with rapidly flapping wings had already arrived above the Dragon Spiral Tower, and it seemed that someone was sitting on its back.
He was an elderly man whose hair and beard were completely white, yet he appeared very energetic.
The muscles beneath the white shirt, covered by overalls, were quite exaggerated, making him look nothing like an elderly man.
Qingyu immediately knew his identity the moment they met.
Mayor of Shuanglong City, head of Shuanglong Dojo, and Du Ruo's grandfather.
Shaka!
The desert dragonfly did not make a move, but cautiously approached him gradually.
Therefore, Qingyu was not in a hurry to leave, and simply stayed where she was to wait for the other party's next move.
As far as I can remember, the family represented by Shaka is responsible for guarding the genetic wedge, and therefore has a close relationship with the Black and White Dragons.
It may even be directly related to the bloodline of those two heroes.
So when they sensed someone had arrived at the Dragon Spiral Tower, they rushed over immediately, right?
Since he was recognized by Reshiram himself as the "True Hero," there was nothing to be afraid of.
Once the desert dragonfly reached low altitude, Shaka on its back finally recognized the newcomer and visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"So it was you—"
"It seems that Mr. Qingyu has already gained Reshiram's approval and become the 'True Hero' of this generation?"
Xia Ka quickly jumped down and landed not far in front of Qing Yu, reaching out his hand to him.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Aoba."
"I am Shaka, the leader of the Twin Dragons Dojo."
