--------------------------------
Canalave City's luxury hotel.
A certain Sinnoh Champion hadn't left her room for two days.
On exquisite hand-woven carpet, stacks of thick books and materials were piled; all retrieved by Cynthia from the Canalave City library.
Mythology, history, ruins...
Even during vacation, Cynthia was passionate about these.
As evening fell, Cynthia in a white T-shirt, lifted her slightly haggard face, lazily stretching.
"Mm~"
Lying on the desk, her proud figure fully displayed, Cynthia accepted the water glass handed over, smiling. "Thanks."
Lucario silently nodded, continuing to the balcony on guard.
Roserade neatly arranged the books Cynthia scattered around, using calming fragrance to dispel Cynthia's fatigue.
Glaceon nimbly leapt onto the desk, licking Cynthia's cheek with its cool little tongue.
Cynthia squinted, smiling.
"Alright, I know. Tomorrow I'll take you out."
Slacking days were always pleasant yet brief.
Thinking about League formalism gave Cynthia some headache.
But maintaining the Sinnoh region's stability was Champion's duty. Even Cynthia couldn't always do as she pleased.
Fortunately, living in the moment was Cynthia's life creed.
"Alright! To celebrate returning to League tomorrow, I'm rewarding myself with all-night gaming!"
Cynthia nodded to herself. Previous fatigue swept away, she skillfully connected to the display.
[Cabbage Ice Cream] was Cynthia's alt account. The friend list only had [Diantha] and [Did Teacher Lu Feed Today].
Diantha rarely played games, only playing one or two matches under Cynthia's strong requests.
Thinking of that trainer excelling at Perish Song tactics, Cynthia brushed her golden hair, mouth curving upward.
Today I absolutely won't lose again!
[Cabbage Ice Cream: Get online, play games.]
Lu Ye was somewhat dazed.
Why did someone always jump out asking to play a game whenever he wanted to study seriously?
Refusing was impossible. This lifetime, refusing to game with rich ladies was impossible.
Personality was adorably silly, speech was pleasant; he super loved rich ladies who gave him money!
[Teacher Lu: Received.]
[Teacher Lu: Voice chat?]
[Cabbage Ice Cream: Voice chat for what?]
[Teacher Lu: Voice chat charges separately. After all, commentary costs extra.]
[Cabbage Ice Cream: No, I understand, we will play without Voice Chat.]
Though doubting the rich lady's statement, customers were gods.
First-time practice-partner Lu Ye connected to the game, somewhat nervously asking.
[Teacher Lu: Gentle style or direct?]
[Cabbage Ice Cream: ?]
[Teacher Lu: Tactical style. I know quite a few.]
[Cabbage Ice Cream: Use what you excel at.]
Lu Ye relaxed.
If clients wanted a violent playstyle, Lu Ye genuinely wasn't proficient.
Tactics like Life Orb Conkeldurr, Dragon Dance sweeping weren't suitable for old foxes like Lu Ye.
Lu Ye cheerfully dragged Gengar into the team.
Ultimately, I excel most at SubToxic!
"Watch carefully. This is your future tactic!" Lu Ye called Gastly.
"Kekeke!" Gastly nodded excitedly.
The match began. Seeing the opponent's Pokémon, Lu Ye was immediately stunned.
Water splashed. A pure milky-white Milotic with two cherry-colored hanging locks raised its head, emitting ethereal cries!
Seeing this Milotic, Lu Ye immediately understood the opponent's tactics:
Coil could raise Milotic's Attack, Defence, and Accuracy one stage.
Milotic could continuously use Coil, finally making Hypnosis nearly guaranteed to hit!
But once identified, breaking it was easy.
Lu Ye smiled slightly. "Comparing tactics with me? You're still too young!"
On the other side, seeing familiar Gengar, Cynthia's mouth curved slightly.
But what surprised Cynthia was that Gengar didn't choose first-move Toxic or Perish Song.
Instead, it floated in place, eyes emitting ghostly light, face showing a sinister, terrifying grin!
"Nasty Plot?" Cynthia murmured. "Why'd he suddenly change tactics?"
Nasty Plot greatly boosted Gengar's Special Attack but exposed Gengar's fragile frame to enemy fire.
But facing Coil Milotic with insufficient power, rushing attacks was the best choice!
"Gengar, Thunderbolt!"
On screen, rumbling Thunderbolt suddenly struck, directly reducing Milotic to red HP!
Gastly looked at Lu Ye strangely.
"Kekeke?"
I was thinking this isn't SubToxic tactics?
Lu Ye was somewhat embarrassed. "This doesn't suit you. Next tactic will be."
Second Pokémon, Cynthia sent out Togekiss.
Lu Ye originally thought Gengar's speed would far exceed Togekiss's.
Unexpectedly, this Togekiss carried Choice Scarf, greatly boosting speed.
Helplessly, Lu Ye could only make Gengar use Explosion to reduce Togekiss's HP slightly.
Explosion sounds rang. Full screen showed "fragmented" Gengar.
Gastly: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Could the tactic you want me learning be this?!
Lu Ye coughed awkwardly.
"Not this... no wait, might also be this..."
Opponent's tactical changes exceeded Lu Ye's expectations, but he steadied himself.
Ultimately, Lu Ye won 5-6 with thread HP.
The battle ended. Lu Ye weakly leaned on the chair back, murmuring, "This is too exhausting!"
"Rich lady's money isn't easy to earn!"
Phone buzzed.
[Cabbage Ice Cream: Again.]
[Teacher Lu: Again?]
[Cabbage Ice Cream: One match five thousand, lost match three thousand.]
[Teacher Lu: Coming!]
Sky gradually darkened.
Aching Lu Ye lay in his seat, laboriously sending a message.
[Teacher Lu: Really can't anymore!]
One entire evening, five full 6V6 matches.
Five matches; Lu Ye barely won two, losing three after exhausting all efforts.
"Good thing I lost." Lu Ye murmured.
"Otherwise might've been best-of-seven!"
On the other side, highly competitive Cynthia smiled, curving her mouth, lazily stretching.
[Cabbage Ice Cream: Skills are good.]
[Cabbage Ice Cream: Total twenty-one thousand. I'll transfer shortly.]
Lu Ye swallowed.
Twenty thousand... this matched half his monthly income!
What Boss Red, all fake.
This was the real big shot!
[Cabbage Ice Cream: Other games, still playing?]
[Teacher Lu: Playing!]
[Cabbage Ice Cream: Didn't you say you couldn't anymore!]
[Teacher Lu: Can or can't, you'll know shortly!]
Though this world lacked EA, Nintendo gaming giants, online games still existed in plenty.
They chose FPS games similar to Resident Evil.
Lu Ye, being a console player, naturally handled FPS games.
Until 1 AM, as the stage BOSS fell and cutscenes appeared, the boss sent a message.
[Cabbage Ice Cream: Actually cleared this stage...]
[Teacher Lu: Don't tell me such simple stages you couldn't clear?]
[Cabbage Ice Cream: ...Logging off.]
This light-speed logout caught Lu Ye somewhat off-guard.
Good grief, my stream logout speed isn't even this fast!
But this rich lady absolutely couldn't be offended.
Lu Ye pondered momentarily, editing a message, sending it.
[Teacher Lu: Rest early.]
After waiting two minutes, Lu Ye sent another message.
[Teacher Lu: If you can't sleep at midnight, remember to call me to game.]
Seeing no opponent reply, Lu Ye tossed his phone aside.
It was late at night. Outside rang wild Pokémon cries.
Looking up, Gastly sprawled on the ceiling, already in dreamland.
Lu Ye yawned, unconsciously closing his eyes.
Half an hour later, the phone screen suddenly lit up.
In the pitch-dark room, Cynthia lay on the bed, slender fingers lightly tapping the screen.
[Cabbage Ice Cream: Okay.]
