Qingyu's latest masterpiece went live, and countless viewers flooded in the moment it appeared, instantly rocketing it into the top ten overall.
Starting at midnight every Monday, Teacher Yu's new video would reliably spend at least a full day at the top of the rankings, delivering a little tactical shock to Poké TV's battle viewers. Most of them had long since gotten used to it.

[Teacher Yu's rubbed off on everyone. We're all turning into bright, cheerful young men now. What a sunny battle environment we have! (Biggest lie ever)]
Countless comments immediately overran the newly uploaded video.
"Rank the brothers who battle in rain; Palafin deserves a spot in the chain."
"Hello, class. Today, we'll introduce the thinking behind a rain doubles lineup built around Palafin~"
