Chapter 524 Carlos Tournament × Teacher Yu's Divine Beast Launch Event √
After the match, Qingyu and Zhulan returned to the players' lounge.
However, before they even reached their room, they encountered Professor Oak, who seemed to be waiting for them.
"That Pokémon is really interesting, Aoba!"
Professor Oak smiled and stepped forward, handing him the red and white color-blocked tablet.
"Although I haven't studied its physical stats in detail yet, judging from the battle just now, it should be a Pokémon with an Aura-type ability, right?"
"It's like—"
Professor Oak suddenly frowned, seemingly struggling with how to describe it.
"Intimidation?"
"It doesn't feel quite right either; it's more like some kind of field effect where Pokémon will stay as long as they're present."
"That's true."
Qingyu nodded, thinking to herself:
As expected of Professor Oak, who has spent most of his life studying Pokémon, he guessed almost everything about the ability's effects after only watching one match.
"The Ancient Deer's ability is very unique, and there probably aren't any other Pokémon with the same effect."
"I named it the Cauldron of Calamity."
"The Cauldron of Calamity? Why is it a calamity?"
Professor Oak was somewhat confused.
Judging from its appearance and aura, it does indeed inspire some fear, but as for disaster—
Isn't this a bit too much?
Qingyu could completely understand the other party's curiosity.
After all, the original four calamity treasures were tainted with the purest malice, while the ones in his hands were in their original form, purified by the "system," so they naturally didn't have such strong resentment.
Then, Aoba briefly told Professor Oak the story of the Treasure of Calamity.
"So that's how it is—it's from that mysterious region."
After listening, Professor Oak nodded thoughtfully and looked at the simple wooden scroll in Qingyu's hand.
"Then it's not surprising."
A priceless treasure from the East, dating back thousands of years, gained power under the influence of human spirit and brought immense disaster to Pardia.
There are actually many similar urban legends in this world, and most of them are directly related to ghost or dark-type Pokémon.
It's just that the severity wasn't as great as in Parthia.
Ultimately, many ghost Pokémon are created under similar circumstances, and their behavior patterns largely depend on the spiritual energy they absorb.
"But then again, does that mean it can be considered a legendary Pokémon?"
Professor Oak has discovered the key point.
"And there are actually three other corresponding Treasures of Calamity!"
"This is a huge discovery! If we can organize and summarize their data, we'll have a relatively clear understanding of the power of legendary Pokémon!"
"And those two Pokémon named Milton and Ursaring too!"
"We received the data you sent when you recorded the Pokédex entry a while ago, but the data was too limited to determine its strength!"
"Now that we have the chance, let's solve it all at once!"
When the topic turned to his field of expertise, Professor Oak immediately became much more enthusiastic, and it looked like he was about to grab Aoba's arm and head straight for the research institute.
but----
"Professor Oak, we're in Lucerne City now, you know?"
Seeing this, Zhu Lan, who was standing nearby, immediately asked in a puzzled tone.
They had just finished the match, and hadn't even reviewed the game or planned their tactics for the next one, when Qingyu was suddenly kidnapped.
"Oh, it's alright!"
Professor Oak patted his chest and continued speaking with great pride.
"I came to Carlos specifically to see Qingyu, so I brought along the researchers from the institute who had some free time recently."
"We can organize the data in Carlos just as well by using Dr. Blatano's nearby research institute!"
""
Qingyu's lips suddenly twitched.
As expected of you, Professor Oak!
So, playing in the competition was just a side trip; was his real purpose really to do scientific research?
"Cough cough—!"
Just as Professor Oak was about to pull Aoba away, the door to the adjacent lounge suddenly opened, and a hoarse, indifferent cough came from inside.
Professor Oak, who had been in high spirits, suddenly froze on the spot, and the smile on his face instantly became much stiffer.
"Old man Oki, after all these years your ability to read the air is still so bad."
Surprisingly, Grandma Kikuko didn't get angry like last time. Instead, she looked at Zhulan next to Qingyu with a hint of nostalgia.
Young people are so easy to understand; their emotions are impossible to hide, they're all condensed in their eyes.
It's likely that only that old man, Daiki, is completely oblivious and is still trying to stir up trouble for this interesting young couple.
Kikuko suddenly slammed her cane on the ground with a loud thud.
"Since you're already an old man, don't interrupt the young people's conversation—let's talk about serious matters. Research won't make a difference if you don't do it for a few more days."
"Besides, I haven't settled the score with you for what you just said. Don't think I didn't hear you!"
"this----"
Professor Oak looked reluctant, glanced at Aoba who seemed a little embarrassed, and nodded after a long while.
"That's true, my request does seem to be affecting your preparations for the match."
"Then just forget what I just said."
Professor Oak nodded nonchalantly, then cautiously leaned closer and whispered to Qingyu.
"We'll talk about what happened earlier after the match!"
"Daimu—you old bastard!"
Clearly, Grandma Kikuko was no longer young, but her hearing was still very good.
Qingyu could only smile helplessly at the grudges between the two elderly people, and looked at Zhulan, who also looked embarrassed, and they remained silent.
"Actually, it doesn't have much of an impact. You don't really need to cram at the last minute for a match."
After exchanging glances with Cynthia, Aoba looked at Professor Oak, who was being glared at by Granny Kikuko, and said with a smile.
"Furthermore, I am also very interested in the various physical data of the Treasure of Calamity. It would be great if I could confirm them."
"However, it's still match time, so leaving early probably wouldn't be a good idea."
"I will come to see you, Doctor, after dinner."
"Of course, in order not to affect the upcoming competition, how about we set the research time at two hours per day for now?"
'
"good!"
After unexpectedly receiving Aoba's compromise, Professor Oak immediately nodded repeatedly.
His match with Kikuko was scheduled for the next day, so they weren't actually supposed to play today.
Although waiting until evening is a bit of a hassle, there's an old saying that "good things come to those who wait," so let's just be patient and look forward to it!
Moreover, in this way, even Kikuko probably wouldn't refuse.
Thinking of this, Professor Oak immediately glanced at Granny Kikuko without making a sound.
Sure enough, although there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, she eventually nodded.
"Since the young people have said so, then let's do it this way."
So on the first night of the Kalos Doubles Championship, another collaborative video suddenly appeared and quickly topped the Pokémon TV trending list.
The reason can be found by looking at the two contributors who collaborated.
"Oki Yukinari" & "Ultramarine Feather"
One is a renowned Pokémon professor who almost single-handedly developed the modern science of Pokémon.
Another is Qingyu, who has been frequently appearing on social media in the past year and has become a big star.
The titles of the videos submitted by the two individuals were also very simple and direct.
Why not come and meet a brand new legendary Pokémon?
For the audiences of both contributors, the topic of legendary Pokémon is very appealing.
Therefore, countless people clicked on it immediately after seeing it.
[Front row, front row! Wasn't Teacher Yu playing a match this afternoon? How come he suddenly collaborated with Professor Oak to release a video?]
Is it possible that these are drafts from the archives?
[—Having watched it a second time, I can tell you that this time it really was recorded after the match!]
This episode is amazing!
The barrage of comments scrolling wildly across the screen is proof enough of the audience's enthusiasm.
Upon clicking, a very unique Pokémon immediately comes into view.
The voice of Qingyu, feigning seriousness, came from beside him: "It has a giant cauldron on its head, and its aura is astonishing."
"It, the embodiment of disaster, is a nightmare to be conquered."
"Let's welcome our guest for this episode, one of the four great calamities of the Parthian legends, the Ancient Cauldron Deer!"
After the sound disappeared, Qingyu's figure did not appear on the screen, and even the photo of the ancient cauldron deer disappeared along with it.
The scene shifts, suddenly showing the invitational venue for the Carlos Doubles Championship.
The match between Qingyu & Zhulan and Xiaofeng & Xiaonan.
When Qingyu threw the ancient cauldron deer, a gasp suddenly came from the audience.
Meanwhile, Professor Oak's booming voice seemed to be deliberately mimicking the audience as he began his performance.
"I never expected it to be Deerclops, that legendary Dark/Ground type Pokémon!"
"Legend has it that it, along with other calamity treasures, destroyed the Kingdom of Pardia a thousand years ago and was sealed within four shrines in Pardia. It sounds incredibly powerful!"
"Its Calamity Cauldron ability is even more formidable; it can lower the Special Attack of all other Pokémon nearby except itself, making it a nightmare for any Pokémon that excels at Special Attack!"
"And then there's that ridiculously powerful move, Cataclysm, which can cause any Pokémon it comes into contact with to rapidly lose a huge amount of HP—it's an utterly unreasonable move!"
"As expected of a legendary Pokémon, it's amazing!"
Although there was a bit of flattery involved, the audience did enjoy it, so they didn't mind.
[Are you there, Teacher Yu? How did you manage to get this senior colleague to come?]
[Fun fact: Professor Oak's team often puts on short skits, introducing Pokémon gameplay in a rather awkward way —]
Compared to the PhD student's original ideas, this one is actually quite normal, haha~
[Teacher Yu: I didn't show up. I just said I wanted to film something a little awkward, and it was related to a legendary Pokémon, and suddenly Professor Oak showed up!]
[Pokémon + Mini-Theater: What Professor's Trap?]
Professor Oak has never been pretentious, so his presence didn't feel out of place at all.
Even this slightly awkward yet perfectly timed commentary style was exactly what the audience wanted to hear.
However, since this was still an educational video, Professor Oak and Aoba immediately appeared on the screen as soon as the battle between Aoba and Cynthia ended.
"Ahem—first, let me clarify beforehand, the little skit we just did wasn't my idea; Professor Oak himself said it would be really fun!"
Qingyu skillfully shifted the blame right away, while pointing to the robust Ancient Dinglu behind her.
"Anyway, it's the star of our video this time!"
Having been purified by the system, the Ancient Cauldron Deer appeared very docile, showing none of the characteristics one would expect from a "treasure of calamity".
After Qingyu pointed at it, the three-meter-tall creature immediately knelt down on its front paws, displaying its entire figure in front of the camera.
"Some viewers might be wondering why this legendary Pokémon is here—"
The answer is actually quite simple.
Professor Oak quickly took over the conversation, asking a question in a mysterious manner, and then immediately answered it himself.
"After all, Qingyu has already subdued all the calamity treasures and purified the malice that corrupted them~"
"Thanks to Qingyu, we were able to encounter a Legendary Pokémon that was willing to cooperate for the first time, record its various stats, and unlock its Pokédex!"
Professor Oak's heartfelt words quickly sparked a storm of question marks in the live chat.
【? ? ? 】
[So this is the first time humans have recorded a legendary Pokémon? After watching Yu-sensei for so long, I thought this kind of thing was quite normal!]
To be fair, comparing Teacher Yu to other trainers is a bit of a gross underestimation.
[Teacher Yu: Legend? Which one do you want to see? Can I shake it over for you right now?]
Wait a minute—? Professor Oak didn't come to Kalos for the tournament just because of this vinegar, did he?
? ?
[You know too much.jpg]
As the comments said, Qingyu has indeed come into direct or indirect contact with many Pokémon, but since he is not a professional Pokémon professor, he has not thought much about it.
After all, the two truly professional Pokémon professors in Padia are currently stuck in the past and future and can't come back.
In the following video, Professor Oak spent a few minutes providing detailed information about this Ancient Deer and the moves it used in the match.
Of course, this was done with Qingyu's consent.
Even the audience felt that it would be better to keep these data a little under wraps, since Teacher Yu still has to compete, and releasing these things would definitely have an impact.
However, Qingyu herself didn't care at all, and even raised her hand in welcome.
The reason is very simple—
He seems to have too many cards in his hand.
From the round of 64 to the final, only 6 matches are needed in total, and there are already 4 types of the Treasure of Disaster that can be revealed one by one.
If he wanted to, he could easily field a different legendary Pokémon in every match, perhaps even more.
Therefore, he had absolutely no intention of using duplicate Pokémon.
Just like Professor Oak said, let's treat this tournament as a launch event for legendary Pokémon!
