Blissey's resilience was truly remarkable. Despite enduring more than 30 rounds of Rock Slide attacks that nearly buried Bronzong, it remained resilient. While Bronzong hadn't lost its fighting spirit, it was effectively pinned down by the relentless onslaught of Rock Slide. Lucian struggled to recall Bronzong into its Poké Ball, but the red light was blocked by the continuous Rock Slide, making it impossible.
The live broadcast room echoed with audible gasps from the viewers, who were clearly shocked by the situation.
"Teacher Luke, are you even human?"
"Give it a break, please!"
"No way," Luke sneered, "Enjoying Ally Switch, Blissey, keep up with the Rock Slide!"
Although Luke had labeled this tactic as the "Quality Rock Slide Team" and considered it an entertainment lineup, it often delivered miraculous results. The full-screen assault left no room for opponents to execute Ally Switch effectively.
Lucian, who couldn't provide effective commands, could only gape in astonishment.
"Teacher Luke... this is..." Flint, with his red afro, looked bewildered.
"So dirty!" Aaron exclaimed.
"Is he related to the Joy lineage?" Flint asked Aaron. "Why else would he be so familiar with Blissey and Chansey?"
Aaron shook his head. "I don't know... I just don't want to face him."
Meanwhile, Lucian, sweating profusely, sighed heavily. "I can't win..."
"After all, Teacher Luke's strategy can rival Mr. Lance's," Aaron chuckled. "I'm thinking of trying out Teacher Luke's lineup next time, just to see if I can score..."
Lucian adjusted the blue-tinted glasses on his nose and said with a bitter smile, "Even Mr. Lance couldn't beat him... I really wonder what kind of lineup this guy uses."
Aaron and Flint exchanged glances, both recognizing the incredible skill and dirtiness of Teacher Luke's tactics.
Aaron's green hair stood on end, and he remarked, "It must be incredibly dirty!"
...
Haunter suddenly sneezed.
"Jie jie~?" Haunter scratched its head, looking puzzled.
Luke glanced at it and said, "We had ginger cola for dinner. If you're heading out to train, make sure to come back later!"
"Jie jie~! (๑`▽´๑)۶"
After Cynthia's departure, Luke's spirits had taken a dip. Haunter noticed this and decided to train harder to cheer Luke up. It was settled; Haunter would continue its Shadow Ball training in the afternoon.
In the live broadcast room, the "Rock Slide Team," with its exceptional quality, garnered unanimous praise from the audience. Many viewers commented on the unconventional and dirty tactics employed by Teacher Luke.
"This doesn't even feel like a Pokémon Battle!"
"Blissey is so adorable... who knew it could be used this dirty?!"
"It's not Blissey, it's Teacher Luke who's dirty!"
"As the saying goes, 'Dirty is as dirty does,' and it suits Blissey perfectly..."
In addition to earning over 3,000 BP and acquiring a few Salac Berries, Luke's fan count had also reached 1.8 million.
Among his private messages, Luke unexpectedly found several fans from the Joy family.
"Teacher Luke, I currently work at a Pokémon Center, and there are often unruly Trainers causing trouble. So I taught Blissey Rock Slide, and the situation in town has improved a lot (*╹▽ ╹*)."
"Teacher Luke, I'm stationed in Kanto, and I recently managed to drive away a group of Team Rocket members! Can you believe it? My Blissey turned out to be this strong! Thank you, Teacher Luke!"
Luke gazed up at the sky, picturing Blissey using Rock Slide to confront someone, and then Nurse Joy dragging the troublemaker away, leaving behind a trail of blood...
"Cough... It'd be better if Joy didn't get hurt," Luke coughed and nodded.
These private messages were not isolated cases. Not every Pokémon Center had security personnel, and not every Nurse Joy possessed legendary Pokémon like Latias. Many Nurse Joys were not skilled in battle, but with Luke's guidance, they could handle troublemakers and even Team Rocket grunts.
Luke rubbed his chin and mused, "Such a dirty tactic can actually serve a social purpose..."
"It's all thanks to me!" Luke applauded himself.
...
"Advocating for Pokémon Center Reform?"
The Chairman of the Sinnoh Pokémon Association furrowed his brow as he reviewed the proposal submitted by Elite Four Lucian.
"You must be aware, Lucian, that the costs involved could be astronomical..."
Lucian, in his red suit with shoulder-length blue hair, nodded confidently.
"This proposal is aimed at enhancing the security of Pokémon Centers, particularly addressing issues involving medical staff and criminals."
"But equipping every Pokémon Center with guard Pokémon is obviously impractical. So, my suggestion is..."
Lucian adjusted his blue-tinted glasses and continued, "to enhance the combat abilities of the medical staff."
After all, what difference did it make if those solving problems were humans or Pokémon?
The Chairman appeared intrigued and said, "Go on."
"The costs won't be excessive," Lucian replied with a slight smile. "All that's needed is the addition of a Rock Slide training course at the Chansey Nurse Academy. Blissey that have mastered Rock Slide will be promoted as nurses."
"Blissey's Rock Slide may not be particularly powerful, but its vigilance is crucial... This can also alleviate the burden on Officer Jenny."
The Chairman furrowed his brows but remained silent.
Recently, there had been a surge in Team Rocket members using strategies such as Substitute-Toxic-Protect-Paralysis and Shrink Squad in various regions, putting immense pressure on public safety.
If Lucian's proposal proved effective...
It could not only ensure the safety of medical staff but also reduce the security costs borne by Pokémon Centers...
"There's one more thing," Lucian added, raising a finger and smiling.
"In the breeding process of Blissey, those that do not possess the Ability 'Serene Grace' face discrimination."
"This is a man-made issue, as 'Serene Grace' is more suitable for nursing work."
"Blissey with the 'Serene Grace' Ability would be more suitable for Rock Slide moves... I believe this would be a better solution for handling these Blissey."
The Chairman was visibly moved, contemplating the proposal. After a moment, he said, "I will provide you with an answer later. If it's feasible, we'll consider launching a pilot program."
Lucian nodded with a smile and adjusted his blue-tinted glasses.
"Also, if this proposal is approved, please mention the source of the idea."
The Chairman chuckled, "This is a proposal with a long history, and I am well aware... During its promotion, should I credit you, Lucian?"
"No," Lucian replied, lifting a strand of his pale blue curly hair. He smiled and said, "It comes from a Trainer in the Orient Region..."
Reflecting on the tactics that Luke had meticulously developed, Lucian couldn't help but sigh.
"A Trainer with lofty ideals... Luke."
Even Luke himself was unaware of it.
Unbeknownst to him, he had become a respected figure in the hearts of Team Rocket members and Nurse Joys alike. On one hand, he was the master of Substitute-Toxic-Protect-Paralysis, and on the other, he was a pioneer of medical reform.
At this moment, Teacher Luke continued to diligently repay his five-million-yuan debt and work hard to achieve his goals.
