Chapter 522 Teacher Yu, please, please stop destroying the children's dreams!
Time flew by, and soon it was the opening day of the first Miare Doubles Championship.
Since the news of Qingyu's confirmed participation had already spread across the internet, the tournament's popularity was undeniably high, even rivaling the viewership of the previous Masters Championship.
After all, Yu himself has admitted that he is actually better at doubles than singles, so he was considered a strong contender for the championship title from the beginning of the competition.
If the list of contestants for this year's competition hadn't been so outrageous, perhaps all the "strong contenders" would have been changed to "predetermined champions."
But there was nothing they could do; two legendary masters had suddenly emerged in the competition.
Whether it's the well-known Professor Oak or the highly respected Master Mash in Galar, their trainer careers are full of legendary stories.
Moreover, it is said that before retiring, Professor Oak had never lost in an international tournament, making him a well-deserved "undefeated champion".
How similar are the stories of He Qingyu!
"There are no undefeated legends in the world of competitive gaming. I think even Professor Yu might be able to defeat Professor Oak!"
"But even the veterans can't argue with that. They've fought more battles than we've eaten meals; their experience is just too much —"
"I'm saying Teacher Yu will definitely defeat Professor Oak in one hit, does anyone understand?"
"Instant hair loss!"
"Instant kill!"
Of course, the most popular part among netizens—comparing combat power—is indispensable.
The discussion about whether Qingyu or the two veterans were stronger or weaker indirectly contributed to the popularity of this tournament.
Before the opening ceremony began, Qingyu, who was sitting in the athletes' lounge scrolling through her phone, came across the latest trending topics and casually offered a brief comment—
"This is ridiculous!"
"Anyway, I won't lose anything by losing to Professor Oak, so I'll just treat it as a chance to gain experience in the competition."
"Winning is a huge profit, losing is no loss; at least mentally you're already in an invincible position!"
Zhu Lan, sitting on the other sofa, smiled gently.
"Indeed, having a good mindset has a significant impact on winning or losing."
"But Aoba, you really want to win, right?"
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have prepared so many special tactics."
Recalling the results of Qingyu's special training two days ago, which she had kept secluded herself at home, a hint of helplessness flashed in Zhulan's eyes.
How to put it—
At the very least, she absolutely did not want Qingyu to be her opponent.
Because no matter whether you win or lose, your mentality will definitely explode in the end.
But this seems to be Qingyu's consistent tactical style?
"Of course, the purpose of playing a game is to win. Saying things like 'friendship first, competition second' is just polite talk."
Qingyu nodded seriously.
"Besides, we have a reason not to lose this time."
"The points earned from winning the Attribute Master Tournament once are not enough to enter the world's top eight. I need to earn more points if I want to qualify directly for the Master Tournament."
After all, he and Zhu Lan are still newcomers. Although they have won championships in international competitions to prove their strength, they are still a bit lacking compared to the real veterans.
If you can make it into the top eight based on your points, you will not only qualify directly for the most important "Masters" level tournament, the Masters Championship, but you can also skip the qualifying stage and focus on facing other more important opponents.
The advantages are still very significant, and we should try to make it happen no matter what.
Even if I don't want to, I have to try to help Zhu Lan!
"I don't really care, as long as I have fun."
Zhu Lan's tone remained calm; she seemed genuinely indifferent to these empty titles.
After all, her motivation for becoming a trainer was wanting to travel with Gible, and also hoping that Aoba, who had left God Village, would see her on television again.
And now, it seems that all her wishes have come true.
It seems I no longer have a reason to fight?
Zhu Lan shook her head, immediately putting such a thought out of her mind.
At least in the next Masters tournament, I will have the opportunity to compete against Qingyu on the same stage.
For trainers, the best way to confirm each other's feelings is naturally through battle, so—
Let's look forward to the future a little more.
"You seem to be in a good mood?"
Seeing Zhu Lan's smile grow warmer and warmer, Qing Yu felt as if she had been healed, so she asked curiously.
"yes."
Zhu Lan squinted, but couldn't hide the bright smile in her amber eyes.
"After all, life goals are very important."
"With it, you won't lose your way."
"Life goals?"
Qingyu raised an eyebrow and subconsciously began to think about whether she had ever thought about her life goals.
If we remove options like being on the same soccer team as Zhu Lansheng, it seems he's never seriously considered it before.
However, everyone has different ideas!
For Qingyu, he hopes that his life will always be a "discovery" full of new experiences, so his set goals may not need to be so clear.
The exciting future is long, so just enjoy life!
"Hey! Crimson, our location is here!"
"6
'
A few minutes before the opening ceremony, a pair of trainers dressed in red and green walked through the audience area.
-
Qinglu finally breathed a sigh of relief after she was seated in her own seat.
"Thank goodness, I almost missed it."
"This is the most interesting competition of the year, it would be a real shame to miss it."
"Fortunately, Grandma Kikuko actually managed to persuade Grandpa to make a last-minute comeback to participate in this competition, which is how we got such a good number of tickets for relatives and friends—"
While seemingly talking to herself, Qinglv was actually secretly observing Chihong's actions.
Seeing the other person nod silently and sit down to carefully observe the venue, he suddenly remembered what had happened some time ago, and his eyes became resentful.
"Speaking of which, no wonder I couldn't find you in Pallet Town before. Turns out you secretly went to Padia for special training with Teacher Yu."
"You think you can beat me that badly?"
"————"
Crimson remained silent for a long while before shaking his head.
"No, I just wanted to test my abilities."
"Besides, I already asked you, and you clearly said you were busy—"
Hearing the somewhat aggrieved tone in Crimson's voice, Green pondered for a moment before recalling what had happened.
What was I doing at that time?
It seemed he had just recovered from Mr. Sakaki's assessment and was preparing to rest for a few days before preparing for the next stage of his championship journey. At that time, he was absolutely exhausted, both physically and mentally. If he had just stumbled and crawled away from the Viridian Dojo and then been stopped and severely tortured by Mr. Yu—
Wow, that's terrifying!
"Okay, I forgive you."
Even though she realized that it seemed to be her fault, Qinglu just gave a haughty snort and then changed the subject.
After buying a few bags of sunflower seeds and potato chips from a passing vendor, Miaomiao, the opening ceremony soon officially began.
Perhaps because she inherited the scientific research lineage of the Oki family, Qinglv was actually quite curious about the cat that could actually speak human language.
But compared to that, the battle itself is definitely more important!
In addition to Grandpa's match today, Teacher Yu and Zhu Lan will also be competing!
With both of her favorite players making an appearance, Qinglu had to admit she was quite excited.
Whether it's Grandpa or Teacher Yu, what I can learn from them will definitely come in handy when I challenge for the championship in the future!
A mere championship is within easy reach!
Crimson seemed to sense his feelings and nodded in response.
Before becoming a trainer, Crimson didn't understand why Green had such a heavy burden.
However, as his understanding of Professor Oak became clearer, he was able to roughly understand the other's line of thinking.
Forty years ago, Professor Oak (youth version), who had just debuted, dominated the League and maintained an undefeated streak in international competitions for many years.
He has won the Masters Tournament Championship, the ultimate goal for trainers, three times in a row!
If he hadn't retired so early, he might have won many more championships.
With a grandfather who was not only full of martial virtue but also unparalleled in the field of scientific research, Qinglu must have been under tremendous pressure since childhood.
Fortunately, during this year-long journey, Qinglu also grew along the way and eventually resolved her inner conflicts.
Seeing her close friend grow makes Chi Hong genuinely happy for them.
Therefore, if the two must determine a winner on the road to the championship—
Regardless of who wins or loses, there will be no more regrets, only genuine happiness for the other person, right?
However, as expected, I still didn't want to lose.
With a serious expression, Crimson quickly turned his gaze to the battlefield below.
The simple opening interaction session ended quickly, and the four teams of contestants took the stage at the same time.
The first doubles tournament was so popular that 64 teams of qualified players were formed.
Therefore, the matches of the first two days had to be held simultaneously in order not to affect the established schedule.
He didn't really remember the names of three of the contestants, but he did recognize the duo of Ma Shide and Mi Ye.
Galar's most legendary champion, a battle legend on par with Professor Oak.
Although his wife doesn't seem to be well-known in the competitive gaming world, she is said to be a very successful investor, and buying ownership of the Isle of Armor was one of her major investments.
The outcome of the battle was exactly as he had expected.
Master Ma didn't even send out his two famous martial arts bear masters. With just Master Weasel and Aunt Honey Leaf's Lucky Egg, they quickly overwhelmed their opponents.
All those who can become champions are very skilled, let alone "battle legends".
In Yu-sensei's words, for him and Professor Oak to participate in a competition of this level was no different from frying fish.
Although this statement seems to apply to Teacher Yu herself as well—
When three monsters emerge in a high-level golf tournament, whose skill level far surpasses that of ordinary players, can this "fish pond" still be called a "fish pond"?
Crimson was unaware of these things; all he knew was that he wanted to see Teacher Yu's tactics when facing them as soon as possible.
It's going to be really exciting!
Crimson felt a deep sense of anticipation.
The skill gap between the players in the first round was significant, so the match proceeded faster than the audience expected, with almost all of them being one-sided.
Soon, the segment that the audience had been eagerly anticipating arrived: "I want to see what kind of abstract and amazing tricks Teacher Yu has prepared today."
"Thump—!"
When the Qingyu & Zhulan duo appeared on the stadium's big screen, the audience erupted in cheers as expected.
"Finally, you guys are here! I've been waiting forever just to see Teacher Yu learn some techniques!"
"Dude, you're really not here for the fun of it? Guess what Teacher Yu is going to use to bully the kids today~ (laughs)"
'
"Teacher Yu, please, please stop destroying the children's dreams!"
As Qingyu walked through the players' tunnel, listening to the noisy but vaguely understandable sounds outside, her smile suddenly froze.
"Your fans are so interesting~"
Zhu Lan, standing to the side, half-covered her face with her hand, her tone clearly carrying a hint of teasing.
Qingyu: "————"
To be honest, is this really meant to cheer me on? It feels more like they're yelling at me!
Oh well, haters are fans too, so I'll just take it as encouragement.
For Teacher Yu, who has long been accustomed to all kinds of storms, these are just minor hardships and not worth mentioning at all!
As the commentator introduced them, Qingyu and Zhulan quickly took the lead and walked onto the opposite platform.
Opposite them stood a pair of young girls who looked quite young, but whose eyes held a resolute determination.
NS?
Right, right?
Qingyu shook her head, finally remembering that the two kids who looked like they were good at doubles were actually siblings.
Xiaofeng & Xiaonan are the Gym Leaders of the Mossdeep Gym in the Hoenn region.
Although they may not look very old, anything is possible in the Pokémon world, and an underage gym leader is nothing special.
but----
Seeing the two men's eyes filled with a sense of death, unwavering determination, and fearlessness, Qingyu's lips twitched again.
It's just a competition, it shouldn't be taken this seriously!
"Teacher Yu!"
Just as Qingyu was pondering, Xiaonan, the younger brother who looked rather timid, suddenly raised his hand and looked at him.
"We are all your fans, so————"
"Yes, I understand."
Qingyu nodded, instantly understanding the other party's intention, and then smiled and spoke again.
"I knew our livestream room was full of talented people! We even ran into some viewers while playing a high-level ball game!"
"So don't worry, Teacher Yu will definitely teach you something real this time!"
'
For some reason, Xiao Nan's face suddenly turned deathly pale as soon as he finished speaking, giving Qing Yu the illusion that she might burst into tears at any moment.
"Okay, stop scaring the child."
Zhu Lan shook her head helplessly, pinched Qing Yu's palm, and then looked at her two little rivals with a very kind smile.
"Let's work hard together from now on!"
After exchanging a glance, Xiao Feng and Xiao Nan seemed to finally muster up their courage and nodded emphatically.
"good!"
After a brief exchange, the four of them quickly went to the baseline of the field and threw out a Poké Ball.
"Go, Sunrock/Moonstone!"
Xiao Feng and Xiao Nan fielded a classic doubles partnership.
Meanwhile, on Qingyu and Zhulan's side—
What appeared in the bamboo orchid field was a strange bonsai exuding a sinister and terrifying aura, the Flower Rock Monster.
Qingyu's choice, however, was simply, "Go, Ancient Cauldron Deer!"
After a flash of red light, a strange Pokémon with a giant cauldron on its head appeared, instantly filling Xiaofeng and Xiaonan on the other side with instinctive fear.
wrong!
When did this Pokémon join Teacher Yu's team?!
