You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 4 Is it turned on or off?
[How come your Cocoa Dora is only level 1?!]

Qingyu was not surprised by the appearance of this comment.

After a quick glance at the team editor, he immediately noticed that Pokémon Champion actually has a level system that doesn't exist in reality.

It's quite similar to the game from my previous life.

Perhaps this is a balance made to simulate the difference in strength during battles.

Normally, the default rank is the highest, but Qingyu tried it and found that it can be lowered manually.

It was this discovery that truly convinced him that the tactics built around Cocodora were absolutely feasible.

Moreover, not only Cocodora, but another hippopotamus is also at level one.

"Don't worry, the host has a brilliant plan!"

After Qingyu swiftly confirmed the starting lineup, he immediately pressed the confirm button, completely locking in the lineup for this match.

Enter battle.

The starting Pokémon on both sides are Charizard and Hippowdon.

As soon as it appeared, the sand hippopotamus's sand-spraying ability was immediately triggered, and the originally sunny field was instantly covered in sand.

Pokémon with sandstorm characteristics will automatically generate sandstorm weather when they enter the battle.

It wasn't until then that the viewers in the live chat belatedly realized that Qingyu, the sand hippo, was also level 1...

One click might be a slip of the hand, but two clicks are definitely intentional!

Perhaps because it was facing a level 1 Hippopotamus, the opponent actually sent a "Slowpoke question mark" emoji.

After all, games assume everyone is at the same level, so when a complete idiot suddenly appears, the opponent is completely bewildered.

Seeing this, Qingyu was not to be outdone and followed up with a "Psyduck scratching its head".

His tactics only work when the opponent attacks him, so he directly gives the initiative to his opponent and focuses on interacting with him.

—Even if he wanted to steal it, he couldn't outmaneuver the more agile Charizard.

After all, the difference in levels is undeniable.

Before the command began, the two sides exchanged emojis back and forth, neither giving an inch.

"Charizard, spit fire!"

Just as he was sending several emojis in a row, the other side finally couldn't hold back anymore and took the lead in commanding the Charizard to breathe out a mouthful of flame.

【Wait, why are you interacting with the other side? Don't you know why they're wondering?】

[Is the streamer still pretending to be a pro by remaining silent? That flamethrower is too much for even 100,000 lives to withstand!]

[What a clueless newbie! Doesn't he know this game has voice commands? It's making me so anxious!]

[Just one last minute, watching any more makes me feel like my blood pressure is about to explode!]

His outrageous behavior drew a barrage of positive comments, but Qingyu remained unperturbed.

He had no intention of giving orders; he simply watched as the raging flames approached.

Sometimes, a Pokémon leaving early can be more effective than lingering on.

The moment it came into contact with the attack, the hippo's face was blackened, its health bar was instantly emptied, and it collapsed heavily to the ground.

"Thank you, Sand Hippo!"

Qingyu wiped away non-existent tears and immediately retrieved the sand hippo.

Although it was only a supporting player in this match, this hippopotamus has already made a great contribution by bringing out the weather.

The hippopotamus is the MVP!

After the first round of combat, Charizard's HP under the ravages of the sandstorm underwent a slight change.

During sandstorms, Pokémon that are not Rock, Ground, or Steel type will be eroded by the sandstorm, causing continuous, mild damage.

At the same time, Qingyu also made her next move:
"Go, Coco Doraemon!"

A tiny monster with a steel head appeared, looking exceptionally small in the sandstorm. "Flame Blast!"

This time, the opponent made a decisive command without any hesitation.

Another burst of flame shot out from the mouth of the opposing fire-breathing dragon, hurtling towards Cocodor.

[I'm speechless. This is another level one player. If the streamer doesn't want to win, he should just say so...]

So, the question is, how do you plan to win?

[It's probably due to its sturdiness, though I don't really understand it. But why do I suddenly feel like this streamer is really going to start doing something funny?]

[Prophet, if there's a plot twist later, you'll be the first one I kill!]

The viewers in the chat guessed correctly; the Cocodor in Qingyu's team does indeed have the Sturdy ability.

The effect of the Sturdy ability is similar to that of the Focus Sash; Pokémon with this ability cannot be knocked out in one hit when their HP is full.

This gave him a chance to operate.

Before his opponent could react, Qingyu's lips unconsciously curled up slightly, and he immediately spoke:
"Cocodora, charge!"

Facing the fierce flames spewing from the mouth of the fire-breathing dragon, the silver-white, metal-skinned little monster, Cocodora, showed no fear, revealing a resolute look in its eyes.

After the trainer gave the command, it charged at Charizard without hesitation.

The moment its steel head touched the jet of flame, its green health bar was almost completely wiped out.

A level 1 Pokémon is roughly equivalent to a newly hatched Pokémon. Expecting it to deal with a Charizard that is clearly not on the same level of strength is obviously asking too much.

The viewers in the live chat were stunned by the scene.

With Coco Dora's small frame, what's the difference between going straight for it and sending it to its death?

Some viewers were about to type in the comments when they were stunned by the next scene in the live stream.

With its health bar already at rock bottom, Cocodora quickly broke through the flame blockade, its last red glow on its head standing out vividly.

Even his opponent was stunned for a moment, and Qingyu immediately seized the opportunity.

"reckless!"

The small monster, made entirely of steel, mustered all its strength and rammed its head into the belly of the fire-breathing dragon, which was caught off guard and unable to react.

A headbutt without warning instantly depleted Charizard's HP almost completely.

If it hadn't been still standing, its health bar would have been completely black, with only a tiny, barely perceptible red mark remaining at the very end.

Cocodora, whose health was already on the verge of collapse, had its red health bar instantly restored to full after being hit by an attack, as if it had been launched into a rocket.

This scene, which can only be described as a medical miracle, left all the viewers in the live broadcast room dumbfounded.

【what happened? 】

[My Charizard's health bar is so big! How did it just disappear???]

[The streamer's on? This Cocoa Dora thing is weird, how did it recover to full health? What kind of move has such a crazy effect?]

[If it is not closed, it is open? 】

The game has only been out for a month, and most players are still newbies who don't know much about Pokémon battles. They've never seen anything like this before.

With just a gentle bump from Cocodora's small body, Charizard's health bar was instantly emptied as well.

No, even though its health is almost gone, Charizard hasn't fallen yet!

Viewers quickly realized what was happening.

however……

At that very moment, the sandstorm left behind by the hippopotamus before its departure began precisely on time.

The Charizard, which had been barely holding on, stumbled as the sandstorm slammed into its face.

Having exhausted its last bit of strength, it completely lost its ability to fight.

The "Overpowered Acolyte" tactic, which originated in Generation III and reached its peak in Generation V, is a unique strategy that has evolved across multiple generations and is one of the most distinctive tactics in Pokémon battles.
