Chapter 473 Now, I am even weaker!
H
After a brief silence, Okamoto sighed.
It seems we have no choice but to go all out. We must try to take down this meddlesome servant before the Steel Cannon Shrimp loses consciousness!
"Steel Cannon Shrimp, Water Cannon!"
"Love to serve, guard."
Okamoto: ? ? ?
As Okamoto watched as Aisuke easily blocked his desperate attack, and as the Steel Cannon Shrimp fell asleep after exhausting his last bit of attention, Okamoto was completely numb at this moment.
Surely not, Teacher Yu!
Are you treating me like a fan and messing with me? Do you even want me to pass this level?
Meanwhile, Aoba was equally puzzled, and his gaze toward Okamoto held a hint of inquiry.
"Didn't you bring any tree fruits?"
"what?"
Okamoto was stunned again when Yu-sensei suddenly asked him this question.
Seeing his expression, Qingyu roughly understood what was going on.
"You guys didn't read the battle rules carefully, did you? Because you need to fight four Heavenly Kings in a row, you can freely use any battle items during the assessment."
"For example, the Zero Fruit can relieve sleep, or the Wood Seed Fruit can relieve all abnormal states."
As Qingyu explained, she smiled, already relieved.
These silly kids are actually quite honest; they're even hoping for a fair fight against the Heavenly King!
If it were me, I would have already filled a backpack with tree fruits for all times.
"————"
Noticing the obvious hint of "this year's students aren't very good" in Ms. Yu's eyes, Okamoto felt a flush rise to his face.
He didn't prepare any tree fruits, or even bring a backpack. He only kept a few energy blocks in his pocket, intending to use them during the breaks between challenging the Heavenly Kings.
Unexpectedly, it was Teacher Yu who took the initiative to remind me to use the props.
But now that things have come to this, he can only attribute it all to his lack of experience on his first attempt at the championship.
This will definitely be useful next time!
Okamoto shook his head helplessly, temporarily putting aside emotions unrelated to the battle, and began to seriously consider how to break the deadlock.
The Psychic Field that the Serpent set up after it appeared must have been problematic, because my Steelix only had a chance to be affected by the field when it came into contact with it.
If you haven't lost much energy and have just temporarily fallen asleep, it's not a big problem.
After all, Teacher Yu just said that his beloved servant wouldn't use any offensive moves, so hypnotizing him would be pointless.
Even recycling is unnecessary; we can simply wait for it to wake up.
"Wake up, Steel Cannon Shrimp!"
Okamoto immediately unleashed a Rejuvenating Roar, attempting to counteract the Pokémon's abnormal state with Bond.
This move is actually quite common and practical in the eyes of trainers. When the move works, it shows that the bond is indeed useful and that a very deep bond has been established between them.
If that doesn't work, it can be explained by the fact that the bond isn't strong enough.
As for this time, it clearly didn't have a good effect.
The steel-armed shrimp could barely lift its right claw before losing all its strength and falling asleep again.
As Okamoto grew increasingly anxious, Aoba immediately added a command: "Aikoshi, the Song of the End."
"Mmm~"
Ai Guan Shi's younger sister nodded, cleared her throat briefly, and immediately began to play the "Hellish Symphony" that she had just learned.
Normally, Abbot wouldn't be able to learn this move, but unfortunately, Aoba's family has too many illegal Pokémon.
Not only does it have Mewtwo, which inherits the genes of Mew and can learn any move, but it also has Sylveon, which can break through its own limits by sketching.
If Mewtwo dares to teach, his other Pokémon will dare to learn —
The End Song technique used by Aikan Samurai can be described as "surpassing its master," and with its completely off-key cute voice, it successfully achieved a double blow on both the physical and mental levels!
After giving his instructions, Qingyu immediately put on his earplugs and waited with great interest for Okamoto and his steel cannon-armed shrimp to react.
"Mmm~~~"
When Ai-kan's sister spoke, Okamoto instinctively shivered, feeling as if his head had turned into mush, and all he could hear were indescribable whispers.
He instinctively covered his ears in fear, trying to reduce the interference of this move by physically isolating them.
What's going on? So the Song of the End also works on trainers?
A hint of doubt arose in Okamoto's mind, and he looked at the steel cannon-armed shrimp in front of him. Sure enough, the shrimp, which had just fallen asleep peacefully, was now frowning, as if it had turned from a sweet dream into a nightmare, and even had cold sweat on its head.
Or is it a combo attack?
Okamoto dared not hesitate any longer and decisively took out a Poké Ball to recall the Steelix.
Although the Scorbunny in the Poké Ball couldn't break the sleep state, and would actually sleep even more soundly due to the comfortable environment, he had no other choice at the moment.
After listening to the entire Song of the End, even if it ate an energy cube, it probably wouldn't be able to continue fighting.
"The rest is up to you, Rogue Crocodile!"
Okamoto made another rotation choice, and the red-faced, bullying-looking crocodile made its dazzling appearance.
Indeedee is a Normal/Psychic type, and its only weaknesses are Bug and Dark. Krookodile is a good counter to it.
If you can defeat Indeedee, you can also trigger its Overconfidence trait, giving you an advantage in the upcoming battle.
Okamoto's idea is actually quite good; it might actually be effective in gym battles.
Unfortunately, before it could even establish itself properly after its appearance, Qingyu immediately added a command: "Aiguanshi, continue using the Song of the End!"
Upon its first appearance, the rogue crocodile was affected by the song, suffering a severe mental blow.
At the same time, its remaining time also began to count down.
"Rogue Crocodile, crush it!"
"Love to serve, guard."
Okamoto's rapid, aggressive attack was immediately neutralized by Aoba.
Then, Qingyu gave him a second lesson.
"Rogue Crocodile, keep using Crunch!"
"Agent, dark eyes!"
Another somewhat illegal move appeared, catching Okamoto off guard.
His original plan was to take advantage of the time difference in Teacher Yu's "Song Annihilation" to have as much impact on the situation as possible, and then time it perfectly to recall the Rogue Crocodile before "Song Annihilation" takes effect, thus achieving a damage-free attrition.
In this way, even if he can't kill this troublesome servant instantly, he can slowly wear down his opponent.
But with the black gaze striking—
Everything was rapidly heading towards a worldline that Okamoto was completely unprepared for.
After barely managing to withstand the attack from Krookodile, even with the advantage of type advantage, Indeedee didn't seem to have suffered much damage.
The energy it threw back didn't harm the crocodile, but it successfully intimidated it, leaving a strange feeling in its heart.
If the rogue crocodile can't defeat Esper in one fell swoop and prevent her from singing again, then it will definitely be Esper who falls.
Because Esper can be retrieved at any time, while Crocodile is already locked in by the Black Eye and can no longer escape.
etc----
Qu Ben suddenly realized a very serious problem.
Theoretically, the Song of the End should also affect the user, right? Why hasn't Ai-chan fallen down after all this time?
Confused, Okamoto turned to look at Aoba's attendant on the other side.
Sure enough, between the other person's slightly drooping, croissant-like cheeks, a pair of unremarkable earplugs appeared before his eyes.
No wonder the Spirit Seed effect didn't trigger immediately when the maidservant appeared earlier—
So you used a "physical" type item, right?
Having gone through so many trials in such a short period of time, Okamoto was already somewhat numb.
This battle is clearly over; forget about successfully challenging Master Yu, he might even have trouble dealing with two Pokémon.
And the facts were just as he had imagined.
"Rogue Crocodile, keep using Crunch!"
"Love to serve, guard."
Okamoto's self-destructive, suicidal attack failed to achieve any results. After the attack ended, the crocodile completely lost all its strength and abilities, its vision went black, and it sat on the ground, unable to continue fighting.
About ten minutes later.
"I lost—"
After the last Scizor fell to Yu-sensei's Lucario, Okamoto seemed a little downcast.
I thought I had become much stronger. Even if I couldn't beat President Ci, I should be able to put up a fight against the Four Heavenly Kings, right?
But reality taught him a very vivid lesson.
As it turns out, Teacher Yu is indeed Teacher Yu, the strictest instructor for the new recruits of Padia.
Throughout the entire match, he was almost completely outmatched by Coach Yu. Apart from successfully breaking the deadlock and scoring a point when he brought out the Steel Cannon Arm Shrimp, he was constantly being led by the nose by his opponent.
This encounter made him realize even more deeply the gap between himself and the Heavenly King.
It seems I still have a long way to go to become a truly powerful trainer.
Okamoto sighed silently to himself.
I'm not much different now than I was when I challenged Sunny Dojo and had my defenses broken by Yu-sensei; I'm still just as powerless.
force.
As expected, I still can't do anything.
But at least it was Teacher Yu who lost, so it doesn't seem so shameful.
Just as he was comforting himself, Qingyu had already recalled his Pokémon, quietly came up to him, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Well played."
"I could clearly feel that your strength has improved a lot in this battle. All the hardships you've endured along the way have become part of your strength."
"So don't worry too much about the outcome of this match. There are many more opportunities to challenge for the championship."
"yes!"
After being comforted by Aoba for a few words, Okamoto's originally dejected expression improved significantly.
Noticing the change in his expression, Qingyu paused for a moment, then continued to smile and speak.
"When you get back, remember to review the battle with the students from the Tianxing team. They should have all watched your fight."
"It's always better for a group of people to think than for one person. If you can refine your skills properly, you might be able to get past me soon."
Okamoto: ?
At this moment, Okamoto, who had been engrossed in the battle, suddenly remembered—
It seems that Teacher Yu did mention that the entire Road to the Championship challenge would be broadcast live to other students. Before I came in, I saw a large screen outside that didn't have a picture yet.
so----
My terrible game just now was probably seen by the whole school?!
No way!
This is what they mean by social annihilation!
If he could, Okamoto really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl out of.
Why did I have to be the first one to challenge them? If I had realized this earlier, I should have played more conservatively!
Okamoto once again felt Yu-sensei's wicked humor, and when he looked up at him again, his eyes were filled with a much stronger fighting spirit.
Now that things have come to this, the only way to make the other students forget what just happened is probably to defeat Teacher Yu in his Uranus form.
Was this also part of Teacher Yu's calculations?
Okamoto took a deep breath, then solemnly declared, "Ms. Yu, I'll definitely beat you next time!"
"I'm really looking forward to it."
Aoba nodded calmly, then watched Okamoto leave the venue.
Indeed, there are many ways to inspire students' fighting spirit, beyond the path to becoming a champion.
After Okamoto, Aoba easily defeated several more students who came to challenge him.
The students waiting outside also watched the big screen intently, afraid of missing any detail of their battle.
The members of the Tianxing team's strategy group were particularly noteworthy. They accurately recorded every command Qingyu made during the battle and immediately began in-depth analysis.
"Teacher Yu's affectionate servant is acting strangely. We need to be extra careful with the combination of Black Gaze and Song of the End."
"Just like in the intelligence, that Lucario can shatter the barrier formed by the Guard with its punches, so we need to find a way to limit its output —"
"And the props too. Teacher Yu has already explicitly told everyone to bring more tree fruits, which means there must be other ruthless tricks coming up."
"Why does it feel like Teacher Yu's style is getting wilder and wilder, even more outrageous than when he was the dojo master? —"
Sitting among a group of students diligently taking notes, Nemo couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed by their incessant chatter.
"Seriously, why take it so seriously? It doesn't matter if we lose, we can just try again!"
-
"As long as I keep fighting, I'll beat Aoba-sensei someday, right?"
As an "experience-based" person, Nemo doesn't dwell too much on these theories; she prefers to make adjustments based on her own personal experience in practice.
Pipa didn't respond to her, only giving her a subtle look.
As expected, talented people don't have much empathy. Nemo may never realize how outrageous she is.
Given Nemo's independent and unconventional personality, even if she loses, she can continue to pester others for battles without batting an eye until she gets tired of it or defeats her opponent.
No wonder he's a battle maniac recognized by Qingyu-ge.
Just as Nemo was focused on her吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to roast or criticize), Pipa was secretly complaining, and Peony was eavesdropping on Nemo's words behind her, another battle came to an abrupt end.
And the next contestant to challenge for the championship —
It was Nemo, who had been waiting for a long time.
