Chapter 86: Never Would Have Guessed_1

Long-Eared Rabbit agreed to teach!

With that answer, Fang Yuan was exhilarated.

He immediately picked up Eevee like a diligent student, showing a thirst for knowledge in his eyes.

"Bwoo?"

Eevee instantly slumped.

Long-Eared Rabbit kindly came to deliver Tree Fruit, thinking it could have a feast, but little did it know, three sentences from Fang Yuan changed everything, turning the place into a Moves teaching scene...

What an evil Trainer.

Fang Yuan pondered aloud:

"Learn diligently! If you learn the Payback Technique from this Miss Long-Eared Rabbit, I'll let you play on the cell phone for an extra half an hour every day."

Eevee became flustered, the same tactic again.

But... irresistible.

After Fang Yuan finished speaking, Eevee thought for a moment, analyzed earnestly, and then jumped out of Fang Yuan's arms, calmly approaching Long-Eared Rabbit.

Long-Eared Rabbit: ???

The rapid change in Eevee's attitude caught it off guard.

Soon after,

Long-Eared Rabbit began to teach seriously.

During this time, all Fang Yuan could do was watch.

Firstly, he couldn't understand Long-Eared Rabbit's language, and secondly, Long-Eared Rabbit lacked Eevee's exquisite acting skills, so the teaching process was as incomprehensible to him as a heavenly book.

"Thankfully Eevee has already matured..." Fang Yuan thought.

A mature Eevee, with learning ability at MAX, didn't need a Trainer anymore.

...

During the teaching, both Pokemon were extremely serious.

Long-Eared Rabbit had never taught Moves before, and perhaps would teach Coiled Ear in the future, but for now, it could only try to describe to Eevee the feeling of using Gratitude as best as it could.

Whether it's Rage Energy or Payback Technique, there's a precondition for use: they can only be used when harboring strong Emotions.

For instance, when Long-Eared Rabbit used Rage Energy, it channeled Energy of Anger.

It imagined Fang Yuan and Eevee as enemies that had harmed Coiled Ear.

When using Payback Technique, it was driven by a fierce maternal instinct. The Rabbit converted its affection for its offspring into offensive power, and when it comes to intimate relationships, the bond between mother and child withstands the test of Payback Technique.

In the use of these two Moves, Long-Eared Rabbit had one feature in common: first, stir up Emotions, generate Emotional Energy, and then feel the existence of Emotion!

This feeling had to capture Emotion and Emotional Energy in an energy-like manner to be considered successful.

In fact, some Ghost-type Pokemon feed on Emotional Energy, like Dream Demon, who particularly enjoy consuming the fear of those who are Shocked.

"Meel!"

"Bwoo..."

"Meel?"

"Bwoo!"

After a deep exchange, Eevee gradually understood; to master the Payback Technique, it needed to learn to stir up Emotions and feel Emotional Energy first.

It remembered all the times it had had with Fang Yuan, recalling the images of being carefully nurtured by Fang Yuan from birth...

But before it could reminisce for too long, Eevee suddenly got distracted!

So looking forward to the next episode of "Meilishaep and Big Wolf Hound"...

"Meel."

Watching Eevee trying hard, Long-Eared Rabbit nodded in satisfaction and proceeded to the next step.

Having learned to harness emotions and feelings, the next step was to start perceiving their existence within the body. If one could capture them as a form of energy, then mastering Moves wasn't far off.

As Long-eared Rabbit finished explaining, Eevee found itself stuck at this stage.

It just couldn't sense this so-called Emotional Energy, no matter how Long-eared Rabbit kept describing and teaching techniques, it was hard to feel it.

Taken aback, Long-eared Rabbit could only temporarily skip this step and move on to the next one.

This Emotional Energy could effectively excavate potential within the body that hadn't been tapped into yet.

All Pokemon have potential, the issue lies in whether it's been excavated or not, it's not a matter of having or not having. Strong will and powerful Emotional Energy could promote the full development of a Pokemon's potential, continuously surpassing itself.

This process was also a challenge, as learning to use Emotional Energy to unearth potential wasn't that easy, it required a certain talent.

Finally, once all three steps were completed, the unearthed potential of the Pokemon would burst out in the most primal way, during which, the Pokemon would find it difficult to control other energies!

Just like Long-eared Rabbit, whether it was using Frustration or the Payback Technique, it utilized its prided ears to perform the slap.

During this, Long-eared Rabbit also demonstrated the Payback Technique to Eevee. Although it seemed no different from a normal slap, it was more powerful, and it felt more impactful.

Summon emotions, capture Emotional Energy, dig into one's own potential with this energy, and burst out with force instantaneously...

This was the principle behind the use of Gratitude.

"Is it over?"

Fang Yuan asked.

Long-eared Rabbit and Eevee nodded.

Clearly, Eevee had not managed to learn on the spot.

However, it now understood the principle behind Gratitude and had a direction for training, so it wasn't without gains.

If it continued trying as Long-eared Rabbit taught, perhaps it could grasp it soon.

After the teaching session ended, it was time for Long-eared Rabbit to leave. Before leaving, it pointed to the Orange Fruit it had put down.

It meant to leave those for them.

Fang Yuan thought about it, but chose not to take the Orange Fruit and gave them back to Long-eared Rabbit.

The Tree Fruit on this mountain were all transplanted by rangers and were scarce, for him and Eevee, they were at best for satiating hunger, but for Long-eared Rabbit and Coiled Ear, they could be life-saving. Now that Long-eared Rabbit was practically Eevee's half-mentor, they couldn't accept the Orange Fruit.

"Bwoo!"

Though Eevee was a bit hungry, it understood the situation and obediently pushed back the Tree Fruit. Importantly, this training session would end soon, and there would be a feast waiting once they got back anyway.

...

In the end, Long-eared Rabbit couldn't persuade Fang Yuan and Eevee, whose minds were made up, and took back the Tree Fruit.

Seeing Long-eared Rabbit take back the Tree Fruit, Fang Yuan finally felt at ease.

"Eevee, after we return, you must study Gratitude well..."

"The condition from earlier still stands."

As Long-eared Rabbit departed, Fang Yuan said to Eevee.

"Think about our bond! Think about our memories!"

"Bwoo..." Eevee felt troubled, it was too difficult.

After this little episode, Fang Yuan and Eevee resumed their journey, advancing toward the mountain peak.

Compared to the Secret location, the distribution of Pokemon on this mountain was sparse.

So, for Fang Yuan and Eevee, the challenge wasn't great, they actively avoided many dangers before encountering them.

Even if luck was bad and they met a group of Pokemon, none were strong, and Eevee could settle the fights within minutes.

As a result, before three in the afternoon, Fang Yuan and Eevee had reached the peak of the mountain without any surprises. But what they never expected was that Lin Jing and Liu Le had already arrived there.

Then, what Fang Yuan never expected was...

…Lin Jing and Liu Le were there because they had been eliminated early...

What exactly had they encountered?
