You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 77 Watching Teacher Yu's live stream really does improve your manners!
The cheers from above the arena were deafening.

Standing on the left side of the battlefield, the burly Yalo revealed a knowing smile.

Miss Black Pearl is indeed too young. She's been using the same tactics for so long, and all the trainers will be specifically targeting her now.

Without adaptability, even the best tactics will gradually reveal their weaknesses.

This is why many newcomers have good results at the beginning of the season, but they often lack strength in the mid-to-late stages, and even fall into the ranks of second-tier dojos at lightning speed the following year.

If Yalo hadn't discovered this, he could have foreseen that Lulina would inevitably suffer a series of crushing defeats the following year.

So, let me give you a lesson in advance.

"Beautiful flowers, sunny day!"

Reaching out to feel the rain soaking into his hands, Yalo immediately gave instructions.

Just like Qingyu's prediction.

"As expected, when Yalo saw the same matchup opening as last time, he subconsciously lowered his guard..."

Qingyu muttered to herself.

"So, Lulina's next command is—"

This was naturally within Lulina's calculations.

"Publicer, Storm!"

The two spoke almost at the same time.

As the trainer gave the command, the Pokémon on both sides began to move in sync.

Yalo's beautiful flower gathered a ball of fiery red energy, preparing to slowly hurl it into the air to dispel the layers of dark clouds piled above the field.

Once the energy sphere is launched into the air, the weather will soon turn into a clear, sunny day.

The beak gull was clearly a step ahead. After flapping its wings a few times, a gale carrying rain and mist swept past, piercing the beautiful flower before it could even make a move, like a sharp blade being drawn from its sheath.

The exceptionally strong gale during the rain was unavoidable.

Before the beautiful flower could even make a move, it was instantly swallowed up by the storm and collapsed to the ground.

The move was naturally interrupted.

The audience erupted in uproar after the fatal blow.

Holy crap, that was a steal! Where did that huge beautiful flower go?!

[Mr. Yalo's beautiful flower, which was chosen as a weather setter, must have undergone considerable training in terms of durability, yet it was still instantly defeated?]

[This damage isn't right, is it?]

Not to mention the comments section, even Yaro himself was stunned for a while before he reacted, staring at Lulina's Pelipper with a complicated expression.

This beaked gull is wearing fancy glasses!
Only Qingyu in the live stream snapped his fingers, everything was exactly as he had expected.

"Lelina, this Pelipper, wears sophisticated glasses that can lock down moves. She's an incredibly violent damage dealer, and activating her weather ability is just a side effect for her."

I did mention to Lulina that she could use Pelipper's damage output, but I didn't expect Lulina to actually listen to my advice and go for the most extreme approach.

The "Effective" series of items have a significant boosting effect on Pokémon. For example, the "Effective" glasses that this Pelipper is wearing have a powerful effect of directly increasing its Special Attack by about half.

But the cost is also considerable.

Pokémon carrying such items will only be able to use their first move, completely losing their flexibility.

Of course, the outcome so far is good.

Since Lulina, the Pelipper, has always been a useless character who just uses the weather and then leaves, Alo never thought it would be able to deal damage.

"It's fatal that Yalo didn't get the first clear weather buff. If they bring it on again and disrupt the weather, they might just keep feeding kills."

This unexpected turn of events eliminated a crucial weather expert for Yalo, significantly relieving a huge amount of pressure.

Without sunny weather, it's almost impossible to use the Grass-type move Solar Beam, giving Lulina's Quick Attack a chance to follow up.

"So, he'll probably play Lucky Duck Kappa..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yaro had already thrown his second high-level ball, and out came the round-figured Lucky Kappa, who had anticipated the attack from above. Lucky Kappa, also known as the Duck God, is one of the quick and agile players often seen on the Rain Team.

Since its type is Grass/Water, and it can also benefit from Lurina's Rain ability with Swift Swim, it's normal for Yarrow to use it to counter Rain.

"The Duck God can't generate thunder, but its speed in the rain is enough to guarantee it can unleash a Thunder Punch. Four times the strength against Pelipper, it can't withstand even 100,000 lives..."

"Oh, wait a minute?"

Qingyu suddenly realized something, and her eyes instantly brightened.

"I see, that's why Lulina included Swamp King in her team!"

Before he could explain, the two in the center of the arena attacked again, and a battle was about to break out.

"Lucky Kappa, Thunder Fist!"

Just as Qingyu had analyzed, Yalu gave the order without hesitation, attempting to take down the troublesome beak gull by speed.

But it's clear that Lulina anticipated this move.

"Come back, gull."

After a red light brought the Pelipper back into the ball, Lulina desperately suppressed the wildly upturned corners of her mouth and threw out a second diving ball.

"Go, Swamp King!"

The Swamp King, who has an extremely close relationship with the Earth King and also has an adorable appearance, has appeared.

At the same time, Rakuten Kappa threw a punch.

However, against the ground-type Swamp King, the Thunder Punch that unleashed sparks of electricity failed to cause almost no damage.

"Using Swamp King as a defensive unit, you're such a genius!"

Qingyu's expression was somewhat complicated.

Using elemental advantages and disadvantages to create coordinated defenses is a very common tactic.

At first glance, this zone defense looks incredibly cool, completely ignoring the opponent's attacks.

But has Lulina forgotten that the Water/Ground family is four times weak to Grass?
"Lotte Kappa, energy ball!"

Yaro reacted instantly and once again gained the upper hand when the Pokémon on both sides were extremely close.

The rich grass-attribute energy condensed into an elemental ball, which Ludicolo used to make a dumpling with his hand and then attacked Swamp King with one hand!
However, Swamp King, who was hit head-on by the energy ball, did not immediately lose his ability to fight.

The ribbon wrapped around its tail suddenly snapped, and Swamp King actually withstood the attack by relying on its momentum.

"Huh? The Swamp King with the imposing sash?"

Qing Yu was dumbfounded; this move was completely beyond his expectations.

"Swamp King, thief!"

Lulina decisively launched a counterattack.

With the effect of the aura sash already in effect, Swamp King, using the thief move, skillfully reached for the rain-collecting plate on Lucky Kappa's head and took out a purplish-red life orb.

[666, that's incredibly polite!]

[As expected of someone who came from Teacher Yu's livestream, they're quite the expert at using dirty tricks...]

[I knew watching Teacher Yu's live streams would improve your manners; now we have the first real-life example!]

"To be honest, is this something I taught you...?"

Qingyu's lips twitched. Who on earth is playing with such a bizarre setup?!
But to be honest, although Lulina's tactics were quite outrageous, they really did leave Yalo completely bewildered.

Am I being too conservative?

Diary of a Fallen Hero, May 5.21
Good news: It seems we won the PK (player kill/player kill)!
Therefore, the new book release period should still be a little over a week. There will be an extra chapter on Sunday and Monday before it goes on sale. Thank you for your support, dear readers!

By the way, some readers have said that I've been padding out the story lately. Actually, I've been writing in more detail, so the content seems much longer than in previous chapters. Plus, as the plot unfolds, there's more and more content to write...

The author carefully considers every word they write each day and would never intentionally pad the word count; I can guarantee that.
Once it's officially released, I'll try to update more frequently every day so readers can enjoy it to their heart's content!
