Chapter 469 The Mastiff Godfather: Hmph, trying to escape?
"Oh? We were found out~"
When he saw the bright red trainer image on the screen raise his hand, Qingyu immediately realized what he was thinking and smiled knowingly.
That's right, the approach just now was indeed a carefully prepared trap.
In general, most people would assume that Amarrelle's ability is Strongman, and the fact that she just used the classic combination of Belly Drum and Soursone further reinforces this notion.
Once fully formed, the Belly Drum Warrior Marill is a world-destroying force, earning her the nickname "Dragon Slayer," capable of taking down dragon-type minions with a single punch.
This incident was also recorded in the previous Ice Attribute Master Tournament, and it was a surprise move by Xiaosong, the head of the Snow Peak Gym.
Therefore, students who lack a comprehensive understanding of Pokémon and have given up on calm thinking will mistakenly believe that he intends to use Marill to sweep the team and that they must immediately counter it.
But Crimson was different. He realized something was wrong almost immediately—Marillium's speed couldn't possibly be faster than Charizard's, so it was very likely that it would be instantly killed by Charizard's Solar Beam.
However, with just one more step of thought, one would realize that Qingyu had set a trap.
Besides its Huge Power ability, Azumarill's ability list also includes the bizarre Herbivore ability, which means that Grass-type moves not only don't harm it, but it can also absorb the energy and use it for its own benefit.
Therefore, Crimson made the decision to replace Y-Spray.
When the situation is still unclear, rotation can indeed give him some initiative, and at least it can preserve Y-spray's stamina.
but----
"Even if they change the personnel, it won't make a difference; this is a well-laid plan!"
Qingyu smiled slightly, then calmly spoke.
"The Mastiff Godfather uses 'Relentless Bite' on the Pokémon that has been rotated out."
"Marillion, use brute force on Snorlax."
After both sides quickly gave their instructions, the situation on the field immediately changed.
First, Red decisively raised his hand, recalling his top-tier Mega Charizard Y, and commanded Snorlax to perform a Body Slam.
When Gengar was present, rotating was a very difficult thing for him.
However, once Gengar was forced back, the shadow that surrounded the entire field and locked onto the shadows of every Pokémon also disappeared, allowing him to freely rotate out his Mega Charizard Y.
But soon after, Qingyu's two Pokémon acted one after the other, arriving in the opponent's half of the field before the red light of their Poké Balls flashed.
After replacing Mega Charizard Y, Crimson chose to send Venusaur as a defensive unit, seemingly confident that Blue Feather would use the window of opportunity after Solar Beam to focus fire and take it down, so she took advantage of Venusaur's type and tankiness to avoid it as much as possible.
However—he was being somewhat presumptuous.
Marill's target was never Mega Charizard Y, but rather the Snorlax sitting on the ground, looking quite imposing.
Even without the Hercules ability boosting Amarrelle's attack power, its strength after Belly Drum is extremely exaggerated, and it can even easily lift a Snorlax weighing half a ton.
As a Water Bulbasaur Pokémon that is very good at boxing, it is also full of martial virtue and can naturally learn some fighting-type moves, which are extremely effective against Normal-type Snorlax.
for example----
A brute force with a power of up to 120!
After delivering a decisive punch, Snorlax let out a mournful cry and immediately began to fall backward.
Even with its ridiculously high durability, it still faces a somewhat precarious situation when confronted with a Marill after it has bulged its belly.
Because Snorlax's solid health bar was dropping at an absurdly rapid rate and was quickly plummeting to the bottom.
As its stamina bar emptied, Snorlax collapsed to the ground with a thud, unable to get up again.
As for the situation on the other side, it didn't seem to be much better. The seemingly ordinary and even somewhat unfamiliar Mastiff Godfather seized the opportunity when Venusaur had just rotated into the battle and was not yet ready to fight, and attacked with zero frames, biting directly into the flower stalk blooming on its back.
Venusaur immediately let out a cry of surprise and instinctively tried to shake off its opponent, but after struggling to move its body, it realized that it was futile.
After successfully landing the attack, the Mastiff Godfather seemed to be locked up with it, completely clinging to Venusaur.
Venusaur's stamina, like Snorlax's earlier, was almost completely depleted in an instant. However, the good news is that it still had a sliver of health left and did not collapse on the spot.
"."
'
On the other side of the screen, the crimson expression instantly turned into one of extreme terror.
What happened?
He could understand why Snorlax was defeated by Marill, since his decision was indeed a bit too aggressive. He wanted to use Body Slam to lower Snorlax's HP while gambling on a paralysis effect to completely cripple this big guy after Belly Drum.
But how did that mastiff godfather manage to do it?
Not only was Chi Hong dumbfounded, but the viewers in Qing Yu's live stream also stared wide-eyed, wondering what had happened.
[What's going on? I can accept that Azumarill KO'd Snorlax, but Mastiff Godfather shouldn't be that strong, otherwise no one would have developed any tactics for it.]
[I know the answer to this question! Teacher Yu's Mastiff Godfather should have the Stealth ability, which will produce incredibly powerful results when attacking a Pokémon that has just switched in!]
Even if it's a stakeout, it still feels ridiculous—wait, is Teacher Yu wearing a special headband to enhance its power?
[I did the math with a calculator, and if we're talking about the headband, it makes perfect sense. Theoretically, such terrifying power could easily wipe it out instantly, and Teacher Yu's luck was actually a bit bad —]
Regardless of what Qingyu did just now, the result is already certain: the moment Crimson rotated out of the field and sprayed Y, his team immediately suffered heavy losses.
Not only was Snorlax, the strongest shield, directly elbowed away by Marill, but Venusaur, which had just entered the field, also had its health bar almost completely depleted, leaving only a few stamina points.
"Now you know why I'm bringing the Godfather Mastiff around, right?"
Qingyu smiled and, while Chihong was thinking about which Pokémon to replace Snorlax, casually explained his thoughts.
"As Teacher Yu mentioned before, the core of this Shadowstep Annihilation Song system is only one thing, which is the Mega Evolution that is unique to this system."
Gengar.
"After Gengar sings its Extinction Song, the mental pressure it puts on the opponent is immeasurable. In addition, Shadow Tag prevents the opponent from freely rotating, leaving them with no choice but to try a strong attack."
"But in fact, there are some situations where this dilemma can be resolved, and that is by using proactive substitution techniques."
After Qingyu finished speaking, she added a few more examples.
"For example, using techniques like taking over, or throwing out threats, or using counterattacks, can all ignore the effect of Shadow Step and force a retreat."
"Therefore, if the opponent has a clear enough mind, they will realize that offense is not the best way to deal with Annihilation Song."
"After all, once the opportunity is seized to play the Extinction Song, Gengar and its teammates can rely on Protect and Substitute to repeatedly stall for time until the opponent can't hold on and falls down first, and then recall them at the last minute."
"There are usually only one or two real opportunities to attack, and it is extremely difficult to take down Gengar in one hit."
"So rotation is still a more reliable option."
"The situation just now was similar. In fact, because Gengar wasn't there, the opponent, who wasn't under pressure to rotate, didn't have much of a psychological burden and was able to make a decisive rotation."
Qingyu smiled and pointed to the mastiff godfather.
"This is where the Mastiff Godfather comes in."
"The Crouch ability allows it to deal massive damage to Pokémon that switch in, and the Stealth move can also replace Gengar to some extent, creating an effect similar to Shadow Tag."
"A Pokémon that's already low on health from the start has no chance to escape; what awaits it is naturally~"
"Marilure, water jet!"
"Godfather Mastiff, keep using Bite on the next Pokémon!"
At this point, Qingyu had completely completed a special infinite loop fighting style. The mistake made by Crimson earlier caused Snorlax to fall down instantly, and Venusaur was worn down to only a sliver of strength by the attacks of the Mastiff Godfather.
The Pokémon that Red just entered the field will be forced to stay in the field by the Mastiff Godfather using the "Take a Bite" technique.
While some viewers might find the idea of using a water-type jet attack on Venusaur a bit abstract, they have to admit that after Belly Drum, Azumarill's priority attack is definitely enough to finish off low-health enemies.
At this point, the art was complete.
With the opponent's two Pokémon no longer able to act simultaneously, Qingyu managed to create a 2-on-1 numerical advantage in a fair doubles battle.
[Teacher Yu's move was absolutely ruthless! I wonder how traumatized the opposing viewers are!]
[Teacher Yu: Even top students can't solve the problems I set. Now you know what it means to treat everyone equally!]
[Can the mastiff godfathers that are everywhere in Padia really be this powerful? There's probably no Pokémon in this world that Yu-sensei isn't familiar with —]
【I understand the logic, but—Teacher Yu, have you forgotten that today's tactical theme should be Shadow Step and Annihilation Song?】
[The Shadow-Treading Finger Dog Godfather locks his opponent's throat, preventing them from leaving the arena; the Extinction-Song Finger Mari Luli takes them down one by one with a single punch, using physical means to lull them to sleep. Is there anything wrong with that?]
You're a real genius!
Red immediately realized the current situation and had no choice but to defend for the time being. He commanded Venusaur and the Charizard that replaced it to use Protect, which temporarily held off this round of attacks.
However, in terms of the overall situation, holding both sides and delaying the situation did not actually play any role; it only gave him a little more time to think.
As for the solution?
The situation was already a dead end.
Venusaur does pose a certain threat to Azullivan, but it will definitely be killed by Azullivan's Water Jet before it can even make a move.
Y-Spray cannot fire a Sunbeam. Although it may be possible to force a trade to deal with this troublesome Marill, it will also cause the Mastiff Godfather to consume a lot of his stamina.
After Venusaur falls, the Mastiff can put immense pressure on the next Pokémon to enter the battle. It only needs to deplete the Venusaur's stamina as much as possible, thus setting the stage for the upcoming 3v2 battle.
And after Charizard finally managed to defeat Azumarill—
What awaits it is a Mega Evolution with good stamina, faster speed, and the ability to use Perish Song to completely seal the victory.
Gengar.
No matter what, he has no chance of winning anymore.
At this moment, Crimson, sitting in front of the screen, showed no remorse but instead revealed an extremely joyful smile.
As expected, the sense of pressure emanating from Teacher Yu is unmatched by any other gym leader!
The gym leaders he had challenged in Kanto before, although most of them could be seen to have studied Yu-sensei's understanding, were still far inferior to the real Yu-sensei.
So, is the shortcut to becoming stronger to repeatedly challenge Teacher Yu?
Crimson couldn't help but think, and at the same time, she suddenly felt a little envious of the students who were born in the Parthian region.
They are so lucky to be able to challenge Teacher Yu every week. I'm sure everyone can grow a lot from this experience.
I wish I could challenge Teacher Yu in person someday.
Chi Hong sighed, then suddenly remembered what Qing Yu had said when the show started earlier today.
Speaking of which, it seems that Teacher Yu is going to serve as the temporary champion on the Road to Champions in a couple of days?
The timing seems to be completely out of sync with Kanto. It's a pity I don't have any badges from Padia, so I probably don't qualify to participate.
But the thought of having the chance to fight against "King" Yu, who was showing a portion of his skill, made Chi Hong realize that missing this opportunity would be a great regret for him.
Or, after this match is over, should we ask Teacher Yu?
With an idea in mind, Crimson once again threw himself into the online battle on the screen.
Even though defeat was inevitable, he would never give up and would fight to the very last second!
Three minutes later, the game was decided as expected.
From the moment Snorlax fell, the balance of power completely tipped in Qingyu's favor.
In the ensuing garbage time, even though Red used all his strength, employing his last Pikachu and Charizard to defeat the Azulori, it was still to no avail—
When Qingyu's Gengar appeared, the Mega Charizard Y, which had been heavily attacked by the Mastiff Godfather and was not in good physical condition, was the first to fall down. Then Pikachu also fell to the ground under the repeated attacks of the two Pokémon.
With that, Qingyu easily won this not-so-difficult match, and the score was set at 4:1.
[Stop bombing! Stop bombing! Our viewers are getting traumatized by Teacher Yu!]
[You fry fish, I fry fish, newbie becomes master in no time!]
[Teacher Ke Yu has already reached Master rank! — But for Teacher Yu, it seems there's really no difference between this and playing in a low-skill game?]
To be honest, Teacher Yu's tactics are too demanding in terms of skill. Are there any more basic tactics suitable for beginners?
[This is a tactic before the final exams! If it's too easy, I'll seriously suspect that Teacher Yu is going all out, which is even more terrifying!]
Qingyu didn't seem to care about the students' discussion.
However, just as he was about to say a few words, he suddenly noticed that his phone was vibrating.
