Happiness’ Egg’s strength was downright touching.

Rock Slide had smashed into Bronzong for over thirty rounds now, nearly burying it, yet Bronzong remained sturdy.

Though it hadn’t lost its fighting power, Bronzong was locked down by Rock Slide, unable to move at all.

The red light of the Poké Ball was blocked by the falling rocks, making it impossible for Wu Song to recall Bronzong.

It looked like just a scratch, but for the opponent, this was pure torture…

If sound effects were present, the livestream would already be filled with sharp gasps: “Hissss—”

“Teacher Lu, are you even human?”

“For heaven’s sake, just finish it already!”

“No way.” Lu Ye sneered. “Like swapping fields? Happiness Egg, keep using Rock Slide!”

This strategy, which Lu Ye dubbed the “Etiquette Rock Slide Team,” was an entertainment lineup but could sometimes work wonders.

Especially with full-screen attacks, it left no room for swapping fields.

At that moment, Wu Song, who couldn’t issue any effective commands, gaped blankly.

“Teacher Lu really is…” Da Ye, with his bright red afro, looked odd.

“So dirty!” shouted Aaron.

“Is he from the Joy Family?” Da Ye asked Aaron. “Otherwise, why would he know so much about Happiness Egg and Chansey?”

Aaron shook his head. “Well… in any case, I definitely don’t want to battle him…”

On the other side, Wu Song, sweat pouring from his forehead, let out a long sigh. “I can’t win…”

“After all, Teacher Lu’s commands are on par with Mr. Lance’s,” Aaron joked.

“I’m thinking of trying Teacher Lu’s lineup next time to see if I can rank up…”

Wu Song pushed his blue-framed glasses and smiled bitterly.

“Even Mr. Lance can’t do anything against him… I really wonder what lineup this guy is using.”

Aaron and Da Ye exchanged glances.

Aaron’s green cowlick twitched as he said seriously, “Definitely a super dirty one!”

Haunter suddenly sneezed.

“Gengarr?” It scratched its head in confusion.

Lu Ye glanced at it. “We’re having ginger cola for dinner. If you’re going out to train, make sure to come back later!”

“Gengarr! (๑`▽´๑)۶”

After Cynthia left, Lu Ye felt a bit down.

Haunter noticed this and decided to train even harder to cheer Lu Ye up.

It’s settled—time to practice Shadow Ball this afternoon!

In the livestream, the incredibly dirty Rock Slide Team received unanimous praise from the audience.

This tactic was similar to Togekiss with the Serene Grace ability.

But if Rock Slide missed, Happiness Egg could immediately switch to the Minimize Tactic, seamlessly continuing the torment.

In terms of “etiquette,” it was clearly a step above.

But since Happiness Egg and Togekiss were extremely rare in real life, Lu Ye considered this just an entertainment lineup.

Compared to the previously popular Spikes Team in the Master Ball-level tournament,

“Teacher Lu Teaches You Battle 07: Rock Slide Team” returned to the basics, focusing on entertainment value.

On the level of dirty tricks, it reached new heights.

Almost as soon as the video was posted, it shot to the homepage.

“Stop! This isn’t even a Pokémon battle anymore!”

“Happiness Egg is supposed to be cute… How can it be used this dirty?!”

“It’s not the Happiness Egg that’s dirty—it’s Teacher Lu!”

“To be fair, as dirty as it is, it does suit Happiness Egg…”

In addition to earning over 3000 BP and a few Scaleseed Berries, Lu Ye’s follower count reached 1.8 million.

In his private messages, Lu Ye was surprised to find several Joy Family fans.

“Teacher Lu, I work at a Pokémon Center, and some rude Trainers often cause trouble… So I taught Happiness Egg Rock Slide, and things have been peaceful ever since (╹▽╹).”

“Teacher Lu, I work in Kanto, and yesterday I drove off a group of Team Rocket members! My Happiness Egg is surprisingly strong! Thank you, Teacher Lu!”

Lu Ye looked up and imagined a Happiness Egg crushing people with Rock Slide, while Nurse Joy dragged them away, leaving a trail of blood…

“Cough… Well, that’s better than Joy getting hurt herself…” Lu Ye coughed and nodded.

These messages weren’t isolated cases.

Not every Pokémon Center had guards.

And not every Joy, unlike the prosecutor Joy, had a Latias.

Many Joys weren’t great at battling, but by following Lu Ye’s tactics, dealing with thugs and even Team Rocket grunts was no problem.

Lu Ye rubbed his chin and muttered, “Such a dirty strategy… yet it still has social value…”

“As expected of me!” Lu Ye clapped his hands in admiration.

“Reforming the Pokémon Center medical system?”

The president of the Sinnoh Pokémon Association frowned as he looked at the proposal submitted by Wu Song.

“You know, Wu Song, the cost would be astronomical…”

Wu Song, dressed in a burgundy suit, his blue hair falling to his shoulders, nodded.

“This proposal aims to improve security at Pokémon Centers, addressing medical disputes and criminals.”

“But assigning guard Pokémon to every center isn’t feasible. So my suggestion is…”

Wu Song pushed his blue-framed glasses. “Enhance the medical staff’s combat ability.”

Wasn’t this just solving the problem by getting rid of the troublemakers?!

The president was stunned. “Go on.”

“The cost wouldn’t be high,” Wu Song smiled.

“We just need to add a Rock Slide course at Chansey Nursing School and promote Happiness Eggs that master Rock Slide to head nurses.”

“Even though Happiness Egg’s Rock Slide isn’t powerful, its deterrent effect is significant… This would also ease the burden on the Officer Jennys.”

The president frowned in thought.

Recently, many regions had seen an increase in Team Rocket members abusing Substitute-Protect-Toxic and Minimize Teams, straining security efforts.

If Wu Song’s proposal worked…

It would not only protect medical staff but also cut security costs for Pokémon Centers.

“And one more thing,” Wu Song raised a finger, smiling.

“Happiness Eggs without the Healer ability are often discriminated against.”

“This is because Healer is more suited for nursing work.”

“But Happiness Eggs with the Serene Grace ability are perfect for Rock Slide… This would give them a better career path.”

The president looked thoughtful. “I’ll get back to you. If feasible, we’ll start with a pilot program.”

Wu Song smiled, pushing up his glasses.

“And if this gets promoted, please mention the proposal’s source.”

The president chuckled. “Of course… Mention your name, Wu Song?”

“No.” Wu Song flicked his blue curls and smiled. “A Trainer from Donghuang…”

Thinking of Lu Ye’s carefully crafted strategies, Wu Song sighed.

“A Trainer with noble ideals… Lu Ye.”

Without realizing it, Lu Ye had earned towering respect among both Team Rocket members and the Joys.

On one hand, he was the master of Substitute-Protect-Toxic; on the other, a pioneer of medical reform…

Meanwhile, Teacher Lu was still striving to pay off his five-million debt.
