Five minutes later.
Throughout the battle, aside from the initial appearance of Chili Pepper using the outrageous combination of Refuge Backpack and Leaf Storm, the rest of the time was almost entirely dominated by Qingyu's Blazing Roaring Tiger.
Relying on his agile retreats and repeated sidesteps, Melo was completely disoriented by the constant pulling and tugging.
If you keep following Qingyu's actions and immediately recall and rotate your Pokémon when their stats are lowered, it's obviously a waste of time.
However, if they don't do this, it will be difficult for either Azure Blade Demon or Black Luminosaurus to launch any effective counterattacks after their abilities are reduced.
Finally, by repeatedly pulling and seizing the opening, Qingyu's Incineroar used DD Hook Arm and Cross Chop to easily defeat Melok's two Pokémon with both elbows.
[Hiss—, isn't Teacher Yu's move a bit like killing him psychologically? It seems like even a direct confrontation with this challenger wouldn't be a match for him...]
[Because more than winning or losing, Teacher Yu is mainly assessing the trainer's own skill level. He often deliberately creates openings, but they usually go unnoticed.]
Now I finally understand why Sunshine Dojo has so many bad reviews; it turns out Teacher Yu did it too!
[To be honest, if I were tortured by the constant back-and-forth jumping, I'd definitely give the gym a bad review after I left! (Thumbs up)]
"I lost."
Although the process was grueling, Meloco, as the challenger, accepted his defeat with composure.
"Thank you, Teacher Yu, for teaching me a lesson..."
Actually, Melok didn't really know what she had learned. All she knew was that Teacher Yu's two Pokémon were like ghosts, pulling and tugging at her back and forth, which quickly caused her to break down mentally first.
Of course, the main reason might be that the type of the starting Pokémon on their side was not well chosen, so there were no effective countermeasures and no way to limit Yu's rotation.
Ultimately, their failure was to be expected.
but……
As the second "warrior" to challenge the gym this week, Melok didn't have high hopes of defeating Master Yu in one life.
She was only there as the vanguard of the newly formed "Tianxing Team" to test the difficulty of Teacher Yu's dojo this week.
As it stands, the first encounter might be very challenging, but as long as you have a basic understanding of his tactics and prepare in advance, you can at least put up a fight.
Anyway, I can continue to challenge myself next week, so I might as well treat it as accumulating experience.
For these students, the Sunshine Dojo's assessment battles are very interesting, unlike those of other dojos.
Teacher Yu changes his tactics every week and intentionally or unintentionally shows his strengths and weaknesses in the game, leaving a deep impression on the challengers.
When you first encounter it, you may feel that you can't beat it at all, but after reviewing your performance, you will quickly discover many deliberately exposed flaws.
According to Yu himself, when the strength of both sides is not much different, the outcome of a Pokémon battle largely depends on information.
The ability to devise unexpected tactics or strategies, and to anticipate the opponent's intentions, is the most fundamental way for a trainer to achieve victory.
Understanding this isn't actually difficult; it's just that what's so easy for Teacher Yu is something they really struggle to replicate, and even learning it is a bit difficult for them...
The reason is simple: the fundamental gap is just too large!
In fact, Melok himself had never heard of a trainer like Teacher Yu who could master any tactic immediately and even change tactics every week.
It is precisely because of her excellent basic skills that Teacher Yu is able to pull off so many fancy moves.
For example, in the battle just now, rotating is already a very basic operation in the game.
Generally, trainers will choose to rotate to create an advantage only when they are at a disadvantage in a matchup or when they defeat their opponent and gain an opening.
However, Qingyu's actions just now were something few people had thought of before.
It turns out that besides targeting specific opponents, rotation itself can limit the opponent, and the back-and-forth movement can even put immense pressure on the opponent.
Because you never know when your opponent will stop stalling and just end the fight quickly with a single blow...
From this battle, Melo felt he had learned a great deal.
Especially on a sunny day, you don't necessarily have to insist on a strong attack. You can also use this pressure to gradually build an advantage and finally finish off your opponent in one go.
Just like Teacher Yu defeated himself, it was utterly devastating...
Thinking of this, Melo quickly smiled.
I understand now! I get it all!
When I get back, I'll go to the club and share my experience from the challenge with everyone!
Teacher Yu started streaming this year's dojo battles, which is definitely a good thing for the students.
Not only will you have more time to watch other students have fun when they fail at their challenges, but you can also learn some details that you might not have noticed during your own battles.
Sometimes, standing on the sidelines can provide a much clearer view than being on the battlefield yourself.
Moreover, the formation of the Tianxing team has also allowed a group of students who want to make progress to start exchanging ideas. We can review today's match with them after we get back.
The effect of communicating with a group of people is obviously much better than thinking alone.
Especially their captain, Mudan, is a formidable person who received the highest praise on her first challenge against Teacher Yu, and she is also willing to share her experience with them.
Under Peony's influence, the student atmosphere at Orange Academy has changed significantly, which Meloco finds very encouraging.
So even if she lost, it didn't matter; her mind was now entirely focused on going back to school to find Mudan.
"Well then, goodbye, Teacher Yu! I'll be back to challenge the gym next week!"
"You're welcome anytime."
After watching Melok leave with a smile, Qingyu also breathed a sigh of relief.
After pulling out his fully-fledged, back-and-forth tactical maneuver, he was a little worried that this style of play would cause his opponent's blood pressure to spike. He had a feeling that he might make the seemingly quiet and reserved Melo cry...
If it were the seemingly roguish leader of the Tianxing team that Qingyu remembered, he wouldn't be so worried.
If the students were to actually be beaten to tears, it would be a further blow to Sunshine Dojo, whose reputation had already plummeted. Even Qingyu himself was a little scared.
Are we really going to have to live with "overwhelmingly negative reviews" for the rest of our lives?
Even some other games can't hold onto their number one spot in terms of negative reviews...
Fortunately, this did not happen.
After seeing Melo off, Qingyu couldn't help but think—
To some extent, the transformation of the Tianxing team is inseparable from their own efforts.
Those rebellious kids seem to have all turned into the school's top students and never skipped class again!
It seems like I'm somewhat of their mentor in life?
That's so true to me!
