Chapter 302: The Rule-Changer
Chapter 302: The Rule-Changer
"What did I just see? He's secretly starting a live stream!"
"Didn't he already conquer the Battle Tower? Why is he streaming again? Where's his Ghost Pokemon? Is it recovered?"
"Challenging two Battle Facilities in one day? Which one is he attempting now?"
"Wait! Did I read that right? Is Teacher Jing He really challenging the Battle Pipeline?"
"Is he prepared to stream for an entire month without stopping?"
"..."
As soon as Teacher Jing He's live stream titled 'Teacher Jing He's Guide to Dominating the Battle Frontier' began, a flood of viewers rushed in.
Among them, while some were familiar with the rules of the various Battle Frontier facilities, most were still clueless.
So, he thoughtfully posted the rules of the Battle Pipeline challenge on the live stream.
"Whoa—140 rooms relying on luck? Teacher Jing He, you're fearless!"
"I heard someone was trapped for a whole month!"
"Speak up! Who gave Teacher Jing He the wrong idea about his luck?"
"..."
The live chat instantly became lively.
Standing before the intimidating Arbok entrance of the Battle Pipeline, Teacher Jing He, though not watching the stream or the chat, could guess what the viewers might be saying.
He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
Hmph! Today, I'll show you all the true luck of the Jing family!
Determined to set the record for the fastest Battle Pipeline completion, he resolutely stepped inside.
Soon, he reached the first empty room, where three doors appeared before him.
In the special episode, Mirat's luck was notoriously terrible; he had to explore 140 rooms before finally finding the Battle Pipeline leader in the 140th room.
"Hachubo, it's your turn now. Don't overthink it; just choose one door based on your instincts." Teacher Jing He instructed.
"Hachuu?"
Hachubo tilted his head, blinking his eyes.
Seriously?
So, Hachubo's tail randomly pointed to one of the doors.
However, Teacher Jing He didn't move towards that door; instead, he rubbed his chin and muttered,
"Excellent, one wrong answer eliminated."
Hachubo: ??
Then, Teacher Jing He turned to Kira Kyi and communicated via Wave Guide Power,
"Kira Kyi, it's up to you now. Two options, choose based on your instincts."
Upon hearing this, Kira Kyi's small eyes sparkled with excitement.
This is fun!
Choosing rooms is much more entertaining than the previous Battle Tower; she feels involved now.
{This one! Jing He, this one!}
This time, Teacher Jing He didn't hesitate and entered the room.
But the room was empty, devoid of any danger, trainers, or Pokemon.
"Damn! That's blatant cheating!"
"Is this a strategy? Using Hachubo as a decoy?"
"The rules don't specify that trainers can't seek help from Pokemon, but it's a bit unethical."
For a moment, Teacher Jing He's actions stunned everyone.
Is this even allowed?
Teacher Jing He thought,
If it weren't for the fact that having Gramps use his Ghost Body to phase through walls would be too obvious, I could have him find the Battle Pipeline leader right now.
But after some thought,
Just because I don't do it doesn't mean others won't think of it.
So, Teacher Jing He looked at the camera for the first time and said,
"There's another method, but I'll demonstrate it, and you must promise not to imitate me."
Then, he turned to the shadow behind him and said,
"Gramps."
"Hachuu?"
Gramps rubbed his eyes, yawned, and emerged.
Teacher Jing He gestured, "Go in and check if there's any danger."
"Hachuu!"
Upon hearing this, Gramps became spirited and let out a maniacal laugh.
Entering rooms indiscriminately?
I'm an expert at this!
And so, to the disbelief of everyone watching, Gramps entered another room.
Then, he quickly poked his head out, holding an extra potion.
"Hachuu~~"
There's someone inside, but I took this when they weren't looking.
He had a mischievous grin on his face, looking quite pleased with himself.
In an instant,
The live chat was flooded with question marks.
Teacher Jing He looked at Aida, whose face was also full of question marks, and smiled slightly, saying,
"I don't recommend this method. Right, Mr. Aida?"
Aida's expression froze, and he nodded subconsciously, saying,
"I'll amend the rules immediately."
After this statement,
The live chat exploded with comments again.
"Damn! This guy's not human! He's preventing us from cheating!"
"We might not be human, but Teacher Jing He, you're a real dog!"
"I'm crying; is this the teacher's instinct? Not letting students cheat!"
The Battle Pipeline tests one's luck.
It's not just the trainer's luck but also the Pokemon's luck.
So, relying on Hachubo and Kira Kyi's "powers" is well within the rules.
But using Ghost-type Pokemon like Gramps to phase through walls has nothing to do with luck.
Even if Teacher Jing He didn't suggest it, someone would have eventually thought of it, and the rules would have been adjusted accordingly.
The viewers naturally understood this.
So, their mockery was more playful than serious.
After all, it's not often they get to tease Teacher Jing He.
However, from that day forward, Teacher Jing He gained a few new titles—
The Rule-Changer.
Or, in short, The Rule-Changer.
"That's so like Teacher Jing He," Yasha, who was watching, couldn't help but exclaim.
Da Wu and Du Juan exchanged a smile.
Perhaps it's Teacher Jing He's genuine and unpretentious nature, without the typical teacher's airs, that makes him so likable?
In the depths of the Battle Pipeline, the leader, Xiao Ji, watched the live broadcast, her expression perplexing.
This Teacher Jinghe is quite interesting.
With the combination of Hachubo and Kira Kyi, Jinghe's path ahead was smooth sailing.
Not only did she encounter any major troubles, but she also collected quite a few items like Potions and Berries, which were originally intended for trapped Trainers and their Pokemon.
For most Trainers, the Battle Pipeline, which required preparation for prolonged battles, was cleared by Jinghe in less than an hour.
In the final room, Xiao Ji was ready.
Xiao Ji wasn't a talkative girl, with a rather reclusive personality. So, upon seeing Jinghe, she didn't engage in much conversation, only saying, "You'll have to defeat me to get the Emblem!"
In Jinghe's impression, Xiao Ji was a Trainer skilled in using Poison-type moves or, to be more precise, the Substitute Poison Strategy.
Among the viewers in the live stream, there were some who knew of Xiao Ji's prowess as a Trainer.
"Substitute Poison Strategy? Tsk, is there anyone better at it than Teacher Jinghe?"
"Today, Teacher Jinghe will teach you how to counter the Substitute Poison Strategy!"
"Water Pipe Queen Xiao Ji? I can handle her!"
"..."
At the referee's signal, both Xiao Ji and Jinghe had their Poke Balls ready.
As the referee's flag dropped, they both released their Poke Balls simultaneously.
"Go, Hutto!"
Xiao Ji summoned a Pokemon that resembled a small turtle. Its body was a hollow red shell with numerous holes, allowing access to its interior, where it could store Berries. Its head and limbs, in a golden hue, protruded from some of these holes.
It looked cute and harmless.
"Hutto, the Fermenting Pokemon, is a Bug/Rock-type. It's a Pokemon that can store and ferment Berries, ultimately producing delicious juice. It's a Lotom!"
The Lotadex explained.
Jinghe was familiar with Hutto.
Although it wasn't a Poison-type, it was indeed one of the best Pokemon for the Substitute Poison Strategy.
Hutto was a unique Pokemon, appearing harmless, and its base stats truly reflected that.
With a total of 505 base stat points, 230 of them were allocated to Defense and Special Defense, totaling 460. The remaining 45 points were distributed among HP, Attack, Special Attack, and Speed. Even if all were added to Attack or Special Attack, how much of a threat could it be?
But Hutto's harmless appearance was only skin-deep.
Combined with its abilities and moves, it could adapt to various tactics.
In Jinghe's words, it could be quite versatile.
It was unclear how much Xiao Ji understood about Hutto's potential.
Alongside Hutto, Jinghe's Gigaforg made its entrance! Against opponents who use Poison-type moves or excel in the Substitute Poison Strategy, nothing could be more suitable than a Steel-type Pokemon.
"Cha~ Cha~! (｀)Ψ"
Gigaforg slammed its hammer onto the ground, causing it to crack and form intricate fissures. It revealed a "kind" smile.
Yasha, watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but glance at Aida with a hint of pity.
Earlier, she had mentioned that Teacher Jinghe's battles didn't damage the arena?
Well, now they would see.
Let's show you what a 'Field Wrecker' is.
Battle start! Facing the Steel-type Pokemon Gigaforg, Xiao Ji's preferred Substitute Poison Strategy was less effective, but that didn't mean she had no other tactics.
With a wave of her hand, she commanded, "Hutto, Power Split!"
[Power Split: The user's Attack and Special Attack stats are added to the target's, and the average is taken, ignoring ability changes during the addition.]
Hutto's Attack and Special Attack base stats were only 10, and its appearance didn't suggest it was a Pokemon that trained in strength.
If Gigaforg were to split its power with Hutto, what's the difference between that and having half its power taken away? A psychic power extended from Hutto, enveloping Gigaforg.
How could it dodge this?
It seemed impossible to avoid.
This move seemed a bit unreasonable, the viewers thought to themselves.
But Jinghe smiled and commanded, "Gigaforg, hide behind the rock!"
Rock?
Where would a rock come from on this barren field?
The next moment.
Boom!!
Amidst the loud boom, a massive rock suddenly rose, standing between Hutto and Gigaforg.
"There's... really a rock?"
"No! That's not a rock, it's the field standing upright!"
"Is this even possible?!"
Aida, under Yasha's deliberate gaze, had a stunned expression.
Even Xiao Ji, who was battling Jinghe, showed a look of surprise.
"Gigaforg, Giga Hammer!"
Avoiding Power Split, Gigaforg charged towards Hutto with its hammer.
In Hutto's fearful gaze, it stomped its feet and leaped into the air.
Grabbing the hammer, its twin tails danced, and the hammer was enveloped in a gleaming metal glow.
"Hutto, Protect!" Xiao Ji exclaimed.
However.
Boom!!
As the massive hammer slammed down, everyone felt like an earthquake had struck, and the ground shook violently.
In the Battle Arena, no, the entire ground now, had a massive crater, with rocks everywhere, broken and shattered.
Hutto was unable to battle!
Aida couldn't breathe!
