Chapter 589 I’m still dirtier than you, Teacher Lu!
After the opening ceremony, the first day of qualifying will begin.
The winners of the preliminaries will advance to the top 64 of the tournament and compete in a 3v3 knockout round.
Xiaozhi, Shinji and others went to different venues, and tourists also dispersed from the main hall to various venues.
Since Mr. Lu had the privilege of a seeded player, he could watch the game leisurely on the first day.
"Are you going to watch Xiaozhi and the others compete?" Since he had nothing to do, Lu Ye looked at Xiba who was standing beside him with his arms crossed.
Xiba had a calm expression on his face, and he folded his muscular arms, with his strong chest exposed to the sun.
Lu Ye suspected that fighters all had the habit of their clothes bursting, so he simply didn't wear any clothes.
Xiba, Asi... all have this problem; the girls represented by Caidou and Korni wear competition vests.
As for Li in the pink vest...oh, that's because she can't afford clothes.
"Okay." Xiba nodded slightly and reached into his dirty white trouser pocket.
Lu Ye thought he was going to take out his nunchaku to try it out, but he actually took out a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Hmm..." Xiba glanced at Lu Ye and handed over another steamed bun: "Do you want it?"
Lu Ye declined the offer.
Behind Hiba is a muscular monster; behind Mr. Lu is a "swimming" Gengar.
On the way to the branch venue, it attracted a lot of attention.
The two men walked into the stands from the audience passage as usual and arrived at their seats.
However, when Shiba sat down, there was no one in the four or five seats around him.
Lu Ye: “…”
Sheba: "They seem to be afraid of me?"
Lu Ye: "...it won't happen if you put on your clothes."
The audience would certainly stay away from a shirtless man with scars all over his body and a fierce look on his face! "I didn't bring a change of shirt." Xiba said vaguely while chewing a dirty steamed bun.
Lu Ye: “…”
It's really minimalism.
However, with Shiba as a "bodyguard", the view of the game is much broader.
"Next, please welcome contestant Xiaozhi from Pallet Town!" the commentator said loudly.
Amidst the cheers, Lu Ye said to Xiba:
"They all have eight badges, but the players' levels vary. Xiaozhi's opponent in this match..."
Xiba listened to Mr. Lu's explanation, nodding from time to time, and felt that it was much more professional than the on-site explanation.
"Teacher Lu." Xiba interrupted: "Have you ever considered being a commentator?"
"After all..." Xiba clenched his fist and coughed, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that your opponent has a very bad experience in the tournament."
Hearing this, Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
Serve as a commentator?
Seems like a good proposal.
As a tactical master, his understanding and vision are naturally much higher than those of the commentators. I will not participate in the Baby Cup (crossed out) in the future... It is not a bad idea to serve as a commentator in the League Conference.
"I'll consider it." Lu Ye nodded.
While chatting, Xiaozhi successfully won the preliminaries and excitedly high-fived Pikachu.
Lu Ye and Xiba followed the crowd out of the venue and started a group chat.
After looking through the chat history, I found that Ami had arrived at Lily of the Valley Island and was now staying with Xiaolan.
This shy and cute big eater girl took the initiative to help Xiao Lan promote her business, which unexpectedly had a good effect.
Xiba chewed the angry bun and said vaguely: "Well, I'll go back first, Teacher Lu..."
Lu Ye nodded, looked at Xiba's burly back, and was about to say that the hotel was not in that direction -
"That's the route to the vendor district."
Lu Ye suddenly realized that Xiba was going to buy freshly baked angry buns, and touched his chin:
"If the Rockets can successfully go public, it will be thanks to your contribution, Shiba..."
…
At sunset, the first day of preliminaries came to an end.
Satoshi, Shinji and others advanced without any suspense, and the draw for the top 64 was officially announced.
Lu Ye stood on the green lawn and looked at the huge vertical screen, on which the players' portraits were grouped in pairs.
"I've matched with Kaoping... This name sounds familiar." Lu Ye murmured, "Is he a minor character in the original work?"
Satoshi was not matched with Shinji, and the two made eye contact before leaving to prepare for battle.
Unexpectedly, they both walked to Lu Ye's side.
"Why are you here!" Xiaozhi was startled.
"I have a question to ask you." Shinji looked up at Lu Ye with a cold expression.
"Teacher." Shinji bowed and asked in a cold tone: "I would like to ask you what is the real way to get along with Pokémon."
This question has been bothering Shinji and causing him great pain.
Shinji cannot express his "passion" for Pokémon like Satoshi does. He believes that his relationship with Pokémon is nothing more than that of a coach and a teammate.
There is nothing wrong with a ruthless coach picking talented players and reaching the top of the league.
However, there are also trainers like Ash who become friends with Pokémon.
Shinji was confused for a moment, and now he looked up and almost questioned Teacher Lu.
"This is the question that Professor Oak has been exploring."
Lu Ye pondered for a moment and said slowly: "What kind of relationship should there be between trainers and Pokémon... How can we improve this relationship? There are different viewpoints and different training methods."
"There is no one right way." Lu Ye smiled: "There are always pros and cons... The key is to find the relationship that suits you best."
Shinji fell silent, and only heard Mr. Lu say: "I look forward to the moment when you can use Mega Evolution, Shinji."
"I believe that by then, your relationship with Pokémon, as well as your own strength, will have a new breakthrough." Lu Ye said with a smile.
Shinji slowly clenched his fists, looked at Xiaozhi deeply, bowed and left.
Maybe now I...can't get the recognition from Teacher Lu.
However, Pokémon and I also have a "relationship" that is unique to us.
Xiaozhi stayed where he was, looking at Shinji's back, thoughtfully.
The growth that Shinji brought him even exceeded the teachings of Qingluo and Lu Ye.
"I will definitely defeat him." Xiaozhi said to Lu Ye.
"I may not necessarily cheer for you." Lu Ye said with a smile: "Because I admire Shinji's tactical level..."
Xiaozhi nodded in understanding.
"Besides, I'm here to win the championship as well," Lu Ye said.
Xiaozhi scratched his head in relief and said with a smile: "Then let's wait until the finals to meet, Mr. Lu!"
After Lu Ye and Xiao Zhi lightly bumped fists, they left towards the contestant channel, muttering to themselves, "In the next round, let's send Young Kiras!"
Sending a baby to play baby cupping…that makes perfect sense!
Not far away, a young man wearing glasses seemed to be in tears.
His name is Kaoping, and he is a trainer who specializes in space tactics.
In addition...he had also received tactical enlightenment from Teacher Lu.
I didn’t expect that in the first round, I would be matched with the big devil! “Calm down, calm down!”
Kaoping patted his cheek, took a deep breath, and pushed the frame of his glasses and said:
"I might be able to win a point by taking advantage of Mr. Lu's carelessness... maybe!"
** As night fell, Lu Ye returned to his residence and mentioned Shinji and Xiaozhi to Sirona.
"I've been following both of them."
Sirona put her hand on her chin and smiled slightly.
"Different trainers, different Pokémon... I'm really looking forward to what kind of sparks will be created when they meet."
"Aren't you looking forward to my next round?"
Lu Ye was surprised and said, "They are all contestants with eight badges, so they are evenly matched, right?"
Teacher Lu did think so... After all, the name "Kaoping" sounded familiar, and since he could play a supporting role in the conference, he might be a powerful character.
Let the young Kiras take the lead first - if that doesn't work, send the Blastoise! This is exactly the teacher Lu who has become more steady after defeating Arceus...
Sirona rolled her eyes at Lu Ye.
If only the champion of the tournament was eligible to challenge the king, she would have wanted Lu Ye to be directly admitted to the championship league.
However, what he said does make sense.
Sirona was gradually infected, her eyes flickered, and she said thoughtfully: "Indeed, you need to be prepared..."
If Kaoping knew that the two champions cared so much about him, he would definitely burst into tears.
It’s worth it, my life is worth it!
** The next day, Lily of the Valley Conference.
The top 64 advanced to the top 32, the competition scene.
According to the preliminaries, Kaoping excels at spatial tactics, and his trump card is the Night Slayer, who is obviously a player who is good at being sneaky.
Lu Ye became more alert and walked slowly out of the contestant channel. The cheers gradually became more real and enthusiastic.
"Here he comes, that man is bringing his baby to the league conference!"
"I haven't heard about Mr. Lu's ascent to the top of the Quartz Plateau for five minutes!"
"Quickly go to Miss Water Cannon, Teacher Lu is embarrassed!"
Cheers rose one after another, drowning the two trainers on the field like a tide.
Kaoping pushed the frame of his glasses stiffly and stared at Teacher Lu in front of him.
Take advantage of his carelessness and get one point, and you win!
"Both players please send out your elves!" the referee ordered.
Lu Ye became more and more steady, throwing the dark ball and a beam of white light flew out.
"Go ahead, young Kiras!"
A young Kiras with green armor, red belly scales, and blunt horns on his head emerged from the white light.
"Yoji~! (▼へ▼メ)"
The audience cheered in an unexpected yet understandable way.
"Are you really going to use the League Conference to level up?!"
"Because young Kiras is slow, he can attack faster in space. This time, Mr. Lu is too good!"
"Although he is a quasi-god cub, he is still inexperienced... the possibility of failure is not small, right?"
"Maybe they are deliberately not letting the young Kiras evolve, waiting until the big event to fully develop him into full health and mana!"
“Hiss—so dirty!!”
Listening to the discussions of the audience in the front row, Lu Ye's eyelids twitched.
It's obvious that he's an old friend! "Go ahead, Huhu!" Kaoping threw the Poké Ball.
Boom! When the pot fell to the ground, a deep hole was created, which showed that the shell was strong and had amazing defense.
The next moment, the outer shell of the pot glowed with a sharp metallic luster, and it began to strengthen its "iron wall" directly! "This is also an old friend!" The audience exclaimed.
"It's disgusting!"
"I suggest that Mr. Lu teach us on the spot what it means to be a master of dirty tricks!"
It can be dirty, but it doesn't have to be.
Lu Ye started with a big move, stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist: "Doragong, swing to death!!!"
The dragon-type trump card move, enhanced speed and destructiveness, Dragon Dance!!
"Why are you yelling so loudly!"
"This young Kiras also learned the Dragon Dance?!"
"Oh no, the opponent is the space team!"
A sharp red light rose up around Little Kiras, who jumped on the ground in place, raised his head and cried: "Yoji!!"
The hungry dragon roars!
The violent ground shaking affected Huhu as well, and Kaoping's eyes twitched wildly.
Your "Dragon Dance" also has a built-in stomp effect?! When you evolve into Banguilas, won't it have a built-in ground crack?!
"Yoji! (▼へ▼メ)"
With a "crack", Young Kiras swung his fist with great force and smashed it to the ground. The gravel flew up from the ground with white light. The white light turned into a large number of rocks that flew out and fell from the sky in a black mass! Rumble——
Rockfall! Huhu shrank back into its shell, still buried by the massive rock layer. It let out a mournful cry while its shell faintly shattered!
This is the "Iron Wall" with two ends of the defense! Kaoping's eyelids jumped and he said nervously: "Spiral ball!"
Huhu spun up, broke free from the rock formation, and turned into a beam of red light, which was taken back into the Poké Ball by Kaoping.
Anyway, this is also within my tactical considerations!
Staring at the incredibly fast young Kiras, Kaopin threw the Poké Ball: "Go, Night Demon!"
A strange black fog filled the venue, and the Night Demon emerged from the void, staring at young Kiras with its single dark eye and waving its two giant palms.
The two men's commands sounded at the same time.
Kaoping: "Jugglery space!"
Lu Ye: "Provocation!"
In an instant, Kaoping's face turned pale and he looked at Teacher Lu who was concentrating.
He didn't let his guard down at all!
Always read the opportunity for me to open "Magic Space"!
"Hiss... Fighting the Space Team is indeed a hidden provocation!"
"Teacher Lu's classic prediction!"
The Night Demon was about to swing his giant palm, but he saw Young Kiras with his hands on his hips, staring at him arrogantly: "Yoji!"
I am arrogant, what can I do?
"Provocation" is one of the most feared moves by almost all space players.
Based on the commentary, the audience also understood the situation of the battle.
"Who are you playing tactics in front of?"
"I'm still dirtier than you, Mr. Lu!"
The Night Demon's forehead jumped, and his figure approached young Kiras like a ghost.
At this point, they had no choice but to attack. Kaoping shouted, "Night Demon, Shadow Fist!"
The fist of the Night Demon gathered into an afterimage, wrapped in white light and swung towards young Kiras.
"Bite it up!"
Young Kiras opened his bloody mouth and flew towards the Night Demon, biting its spirit-like fist directly! "The Shadow Fist...seems to have been bitten directly into pieces?" the commentator said in a daze.
Kaoping held his face with his hands, doubting the state of his life.
"Your move is illegal, Mr. Lu!"
Lu Ye smiled awkwardly. There are many things that are illegal...
BANG!!
Dust and smoke were flying, and the night demon was lying on the ground with circles in its eyes.
Young Kiras smacked his lips: "Yoji~"
This tastes not good...
Kaopin looked strange, then he let out a long sigh.
After all, I was facing Mr. Lu...
It’s not shameful to have your tactical intentions discovered!
"Go ahead, big tongue lick!" Kaoping said, "Use belly drum!"
A white light flashed, and a big tongue licker appeared on the field.
Boom, boom, boom! As the belly drum sounded, Big Tongue Licking's eyes gradually turned bright red and he roared angrily.
Since you can’t create space, have you chosen to attack by force?
Based on the "power of overcoming", Lu Ye issued the order for the Dragon Dance.
Young Kiras stepped on the ground, his armor suddenly glowed with a sharp light, and his aura increased even more.
Under the astonished gaze of the audience, young Kiras picked up a piece of rock, suddenly jumped up, and swung the "brick" at the big tongue!
Kaoping's expression changed slightly: "Get out of the way!"
BANG!!
However, there was no room for the big tongue to turn around, the rock layer shattered, and the latter staggered and fell to the ground.
When dealing with space, he would provoke it; when dealing with a strong attack, he would counterattack with a more violent attack! Teacher Lu perfectly demonstrated the basic qualities of being a tactical master.
Kaoping, who was read remotely first, was in tears, and the last pot was also buried under the rock.
"The winner." The referee said: "Lu Ye!"
"Yoji~" young Kiras shouted and raised one hand.
Lu Ye burst into laughter, and cheers came from all around.
"Fuck! This is the on-site teaching bureau!"
"That's great. I also want to be taught a lesson."
"Here we go, the tradition of shutouts in every Baby Cup!"
Kaoping calmed down, shook hands with Lu Ye, and said with tears in his eyes:
"I'm still dirtier than you, Mr. Lu!"
“…That doesn’t sound like a good thing.”
"Truthfully!"
…
The first day of competition has come to an end.
Teacher Lu advanced to the top 32, which caused widespread discussion outside the competition.
According to the post-match review, all players reached a consensus.
When you meet Teacher Lu, you can either attack directly or push forward in a quick wave.
Or just surrender, so you can still buy a ticket home.
Don't play any tricks in front of him... otherwise you will be caught clearly!
"The good news is that Mr. Lu only brought a team of pets. The bad news is that Gengar is also considered a pet."
"The arrangement for the top 16 has been announced. Teacher Lu VS the bard Shang Zhi!"
Shang Zhi is a coordinator with a gorgeous playing style and a humble personality, and he is widely praised.
Of course, Mr. Lu also has many fans who got to know him through the gorgeous competition.
"What a magnificent battle..."
Lu Ye looked at Togepi's Poké Ball and fell into deep thought.
As we all know, there are many types of trainer fighting styles.
Xiaozhi's "all tactics turn into a swallow-back attack", Shinji's "rotational spike defense"...
Teacher Lu can use these very easily.
Of course, as a master of coordination, Mr. Lu's playing style can occasionally be very gorgeous -
Lu Ye: "Elegance never goes out of style!"
Cong Youbing thought it was great: "Ga~()"
