Chapter 461 Just how influential is Teacher Yu...?
"Blazing Roaring Tiger, use Overheat to rapidly increase temperature!"
Qingyu's guess soon became a reality.
After all, for the Royal Masked Man, when the Incineroar's actions were disrupted by the Boar's blizzard, it was almost impossible for him to unleash the Incineroar's signature close-quarters combat.
For now, his only option is to try to mitigate the power of the little boar's blizzard and find a way to restore the heat of the Blazing Roaring Tiger before making any further plans.
"roar--!"
Without hesitation, the Blazing Roaring Tiger immediately stored up the heat in its body and quickly expelled the cold air that had been injected into its body during the blizzard, forming wisps of white mist on its body surface.
"The royal masked man actually chose to use overheating to free the Blazing Roaring Tiger from the possibility of being frozen!"
As Qingyu explained, she nodded to herself.
"Given the current situation, using this method is indeed the most reasonable choice. It can quickly restore the temperature and also has the potential to withstand the blizzard to some extent."
"Although the downside is that the special attack ability will be temporarily reduced after using this move, it is not that critical for Tiger God."
On the field, the Royal Masked Man's thoughts were almost identical to Qingyu's.
However, with such an obvious arrangement, Liu Bo, as a senior, could easily see through it.
However, he simply squinted and smiled, then casually waved his hand, directing the little boar to use another move.
"Little boar, dodge the opponent's attacks and find an opportunity to activate Quicksand Abyss."
A simple change of move, seemingly effortless, but in Qingyu's eyes, it was full of confidence.
He had no doubt that his little wild boar could easily dodge the Fiery Roaring Tiger's attacks.
And that is indeed the case.
"Pfft pfft—!"
Under the trainer's command, the boar immediately stopped unleashing its Blizzard attack. Its slender body suddenly burst forth with an absurd speed, easily dodging the Incineroar's all-out flame attack.
At the same time, he didn't forget to look back and gaze at the ground.
"??? When?"
When the Fiery Roaring Tiger finished its full attack and was in a weakened state, the Royal Masked Man suddenly noticed that the ground beneath its feet seemed to be loosening, and the ice shards blown out by the blizzard began to slowly rotate towards the center in a regular pattern.
Did you secretly use Quicksand Abyss while dodging and attracting everyone's attention with your move?
At this moment, he was already feeling a bit drenched in sweat.
Every move made by the senior opponent was completely beyond his expectations; he hadn't even noticed when the opponent used a move.
Indeed, experience is the best teacher!
"The Royal Masked Man is completely suppressed. Once the Quicksand Abyss takes shape, the Blazing Roaring Tiger, which will be caught in it, will not be able to move freely, and even its normal use of moves may be interfered with."
Qingyu shook his head, thinking that this round was probably already over.
There's nothing we can do about it. Who would have thought that an unknown old man, nearing retirement, could actually overwhelm the current Alola champion, who doesn't like to show his face?
Qingyu suddenly realized the advantages of the "Royal Masked Man" pseudonym—
For Dr. Kukui, who loves to "play around," wearing a disguise not only allows him to unleash his true nature, but also ensures that even if he loses, it won't have any negative impact on the Alola region.
If you win, you make a fortune; if you lose, you don't lose anything.
No wonder he's a PhD and a champion, his brain works really well!
The audience at the scene and those watching online were also incredibly shocked by what they saw.
[W-What's going on? You mean the little boar suppressed the Fiery Roaring Tiger?]
[Where does this leave the reputation of our livestream's number one cute baby who just hatched? How could I have such a dream???]
[I already told you—Uncle Liu's boar and Delibird are really scary. Back when he was the Gym Leader at the end of the gate, those two were our biggest fear.]
[Just kidding, these two are probably the weakest Pokémon Liu Bo has, otherwise there's no way to explain why the Boar hasn't evolved.]
【? ? ? 】
It seems that only those from the city who had traveled there had a clearer understanding of Liu Bo's strength.
Qingyu nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that even though Liu Bo in this world hasn't revealed his identity as the "masked man," his strength is still terrifyingly powerful.
Trainers in Kanto and Johto indeed have an unusually high chance of encountering monsters!
After a moment of reflection, he quickly turned his gaze back to the battlefield.
Even though Incineroar was on the verge of being swallowed by the quicksand abyss, the royal masked man still maintained a bright smile on his face, and even took the time to shout to Uncle Liu: "What terrifying strength! Just how powerful a trainer must be to raise a little boar that can be called a monster!"
"However, I'm going to get serious now!"
"Blazing Roaring Tiger, prepare to use that move!"
"Pay close attention to the rotation of the quicksand abyss!"
As he spoke passionately, the royal masked man extended his hand, revealing the Z bracelet on his right wrist.
A deep red Z-crystal, resembling Fire Z in seven or eight parts but slightly duller, was embedded within it, and it began to shine simultaneously when he spoke.
"It's here! It's the royal masked man's ultimate move!!!"
"The starting stance for the Z-Move is coming!"
Hearing the cheers from the local audience below, Qingyu raised an eyebrow and subconsciously sat up straight.
The masked royal just mentioned "rotation".
His gaze fell upon the Blazing Roaring Tiger in the center of the quicksand abyss. Half of its body was already submerged, and it appeared completely immobile, only able to spread its arms to maintain its balance as much as possible.
However, upon closer inspection, the truth is quite the opposite!
It wasn't that the Blazing Roaring Tiger was locked onto by the quicksand abyss, but rather that it had adapted to the rotating sand hell beneath its feet and maintained its rotation at the same speed, which is why its body hadn't completely sunk in!
"That's right, rotation is very important —"
Qingyu murmured.
He seemed to have already guessed the royal masked man's next move.
"Blazing Roaring Tiger, use DD Golden Hook Arm—"
'
The royal masked man clenched his fists, and after gracefully completing a dance, he suddenly spread his arms out as if making a diving motion.
"Our signature Z-Move, Extreme Dark Leap Smash!!!"
In an instant, the ultimate aura was activated by the royal masked man and the Fiery Roaring Tiger, shining with golden light on the field and rapidly accumulating on the Fiery Roaring Tiger's body.
"roar--!"
The Blazing Roaring Tiger roared to the sky, letting out a powerful roar. Its spinning speed increased immediately, quickly forming a whirlwind-like afterimage that swept up the surrounding soft sand.
Rocks and ice shards collided repeatedly in "Tiger Cyclone," making a crackling sound, and the entire arena floor trembled as a result of this powerful signature Z-Move.
"Z-Move? — This is the first time I've ever seen one like this."
Uncle Liu kept his eyes narrowed, calmly watching the attack that was rapidly approaching him and the little wild boar, and even took the time to utter a sigh.
"It's really interesting, but it's still a bit lacking in finesse."
"If we weren't so hasty, this move might actually be able to deal considerable damage."
After speaking, Uncle Liu spoke again, looking at his little wild boar in front of him.
"Little boar, use the digging tool to burrow to the other side of the field."
"Pfft pfft—"
After a casual command, the little wild boar instantly understood, immediately plunging into the ground and using its soft snout to quickly dig through the surface and hide deep underground.
"hiss----"
Qingyu gasped.
Digging to dodge attacks is a fundamental skill in understanding moves, and even novice trainers can use the principles behind this move to avoid powerful attacks.
But isn't using this tactic in an exhibition match a bit too respectful to the opponent?
After all, Z-Move can only be used once. As long as you dodge it, you won't have to worry about Incineroar's most threatening move. Boar can continue to use the Blizzard tactic to forcefully stop Incineroar's attack.
"Tsk—"
The royal masked man clearly realized this as well, and subconsciously clicked his tongue in amazement.
However, he quickly laughed again.
"In that case, let's dig three feet into the ground and find our opponent!"
"Blazing Roaring Tiger, spin in place and use the force of your rotation to dig through the earth!"
"boom--!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the venue began to shake violently, as if ten super armored rhinos had simultaneously unleashed an earthquake.
"???"
"Those masked royals are really into it! What if they damage the arena and ruin the match later?"
"Stop! This is just an exhibition match, please stop fighting!!!"
In the audience, many people gasped in surprise. Even Qingyu was stunned for a few seconds before giving the masked royal man a thumbs up.
Demolishing your own home during an exhibition match, truly worthy of you, Ku—the Royal Masked Man!
Because the Fiery Roaring Tiger made such a commotion, it had already drilled a deep pit into the ground while spinning. At the same time, the countless flying sand and stones generated by its friction were also swept up by its rotation, forming a brief sandstorm around the perimeter of the arena, making it impossible for the audience to see what was happening inside.
Only after the Blazing Roaring Tiger's spinning attack ended and the sand and dust gradually settled did Qingyu finally notice that the sand and dust had been pierced through.
The battlefield had become dilapidated.
And the two Pokémon in the center of the arena.
The Fiery Roaring Tiger attacked the little boar from both sides with its arms in a pincer movement, and then maintained the attack posture.
The little wild boar withstood the blow solidly and remained motionless, with only its fur fluttering as it breathed proving that it was still standing firm.
T
Qingyu's lips twitched.
He thought to himself:
What kind of monster is this little boar? Even Z-Moves can't hurt it at all. On the contrary, Incineroar got dizzy from spinning around.
I've personally experienced Incineroar's Z-Move firsthand; even Lance's main Dragonite had to temporarily avoid its power.
However, given his seniority, it's normal for him to be a bit stronger, right?
Seeing that neither side's Pokémon were moving, and that Liu Bo hadn't given any further instructions, Qing Yu already knew the answer. So he decisively said, "What a wonderful battle! It seems to have ended in a draw, with both sides losing their ability to battle simultaneously!"
"However, due to the impact of this battle, the group stage process may be slightly delayed."
Although the damage to the terrain caused a minor problem, this is something that is already commonplace in the Pokémon world.
Everyone who can participate in the Attribute Master Tournament is a master, and it's only natural that they would break through the field when they go all out. Therefore, Alola has naturally made ample preparations.
With the help of the Machamp and the construction team (Alola Form) led by the old builders working hard to repair the damage, the group stage of the Ice-type Master Tournament officially began about half an hour later.
Although there was some delay, the waiting time wasn't too long.
In addition, Qingyu, as a professional commentator, told a long series of "Pokémon short stories," which captivated the audience.
"A long, long time ago, a little fire horse came to the riverbank—"
"Have you heard the story of the Firestorm Beast? It happened in the Washgreen region—"
Qingyu had prepared a lot of such content in his mind.
Although I never expected that what I heard in my past life would come in handy at this time, it really did.
At least the audience listened with great interest.
[I don't think this Attribute Master Tournament is a must-watch. Aren't Teacher Yu's wonderful little stories more interesting than this?]
"No way! It's fixed already? I haven't had enough!"
[Teacher Yu, how about we skip work? It's not worth it to commentate on this mere Masters tournament!]
"Happy times always fly by, and it's time to say—no, the exciting show is just beginning!"
Qingyu, who seamlessly switched to commentary mode, witnessed many strange things on the first day.
"You all probably know Kona, she's a regular in our livestream, so please begin your performance!"
"Hey—no, it's three against one and you're still going to sing the 'Death Song'? The kid on the other side looks like he's about to cry!"
"Alright, let's turn our attention to Song, the Gym Leader from Sinnoh, and see what special skills she has up her sleeve?"
"By the way, this is also one of the fans that Teacher Yu has verified~"
"Holy crap, Bean Song's Tapu Fist—Marilluri—simply used brute force to put the opposing Blizzard King to sleep!"
"Ice Fist is still ice, no problem!"
"And then there's our fellow contestant from the Padia region, my good buddy Glusha, he's definitely a true trainer!"
"??? What did his Weavile throw after it slammed down?"
"Holy crap, how did they get poisoned? Did they throw a deadly poison orb?"
"What about the second one? We don't have anything else to lose, right?"
"Wait a minute? Who taught you to use cold water and freezing wind to forcibly freeze the opponent, and you even triggered an elemental reaction?"
Over the course of the day, Qingyu actually saw quite a few strange tactics that were chaotic and without any rhyme or reason.
The only thing they have in common is—
They actually won.
At this point, the viewers in the live stream chat will ask:
【Hey Teacher Yu, I'm just a random passerby and I don't understand, so I'm asking: why are all the viewers in our livestream room so filthy?】
Teacher Yu's influence is just too overwhelming; everyone in the Attribute Master Competition has his shadow. No wonder he got himself a seat on the judging panel.
What do you mean by "dirty"? That's called making good use of the move mechanics, understand?
Although Qingyu's face was already somewhat flushed, he had to admit that quite a few of these strange things seemed to have been taught by him.
That's fine then, we'll just have to put up with it.
And so, amidst the laughter and joy in the live stream, Qingyu and his viewers enjoyed a very pleasant day.
