Little Phoenix King Cup
Eevee was able to build the sandcastle as it wished, thanks to the Sand Attack move.
Besides the specific effects in the game, Sand Attack also helps Eevee manipulate the sand more easily, making the sand on the beach more "obedient."
Coming out for this trip, besides deepening the bond with Eevee again, the Sand Attack move can be said to be the biggest gain.
So far, the little Eevee, whose age has just reached "9 days," has mastered four moves, namely Tackle, Growl, Tail Whip, and Sand Attack.
Although Growl and Tail Whip have some effect, Fang Yuan despaired after letting Eevee use them a few times. They were completely harmless and had no threat at all.
However, what made Fang Yuan more gratified was that he had cultivated sufficient interest for Eevee. As for how many days this enthusiasm could be maintained, Fang Yuan didn't know, but anyway, Eevee's current state was very good, looking forward to the training methods that Fang Yuan said could make it stronger.
Eevee also wanted to become stronger, as majestic as the protagonists in movies and battle videos, becoming the focus of attention in the battle arena.
Whirr~~ After staying on the beach for a whole day, Fang Yuan and Eevee immediately took a shower after returning to the room to make themselves more refreshed.
Don't look at them playing all day, but both of them were as tired as dogs, especially little Eevee. Using the Sand Attack move to manipulate the sand for a long time was very exhausting.
At dinner time, Eevee even drank two large bowls of warmed Milk before burping contentedly. After entering the growth period... its appetite increased! Dong…Dong…Dong…
Just when everything was about to be finished, and Fang Yuan and Eevee were planning to find a movie to watch, the room door was suddenly knocked.
"Hi, Fang Yuan, Eevee, wanna play cards?" Lu Jie said outside the door.
"Eevee?" Little Eevee was stunned, what was that?
"Want to go see?" Fang Yuan said to Eevee.
Eevee nodded.
"Coming." Saying that, Eevee jumped onto Fang Yuan's shoulder, and they started following Lu Jie to the opposite room.
"What did you do with Eevee today? You both look very tired."
"You might not believe it if I told you..." Fang Yuan said with a smile.
After arriving at the opposite room, Fang Yuan found that the other three were already here, so he explained the day's experience to them, listening to several people with wide eyes.
"Like that... you comprehended the Sand Attack move?" Senior Tang Ying said in a daze.
She might be a fake Trainer.
"My Graveler wants to hit someone after hearing that. I remember it learned it through special training," Meng Zicheng said.
"You're too lucky," Du Ai said.
"Unexpectedly... the man who wants to become a professional Trainer really has some skills." Lu Jie sighed. He could see that although they had only been together for a few days, the relationship between Fang Yuan and Eevee was really good.
"Unintentional actions yield results." Fang Yuan said calmly.
"Maybe Eevee and I are too tacit."
"Eevee!" Eevee nodded proudly.
"Showing off again."
"You two are showing off together, little Eevee has been spoiled by you." Du Ai said, "Hey! Hey! Little Tang, show him the promotional poster we found today."
"Uh, what poster?" Fang Yuan asked.
"The Little Phoenix King Cup Rookie Trainer Tournament," Tang Ying said.
Rookie Trainer... Tournament?
Little Phoenix King Cup?! "It's a tournament in Modu specifically for prospective senior high school students like you who have just received their starter Pokémon. It's sponsored by Dawn Group, and the prizes are very generous," Lu Jie said.
"What they mean is, they want you to participate and see you get crushed," Meng Zicheng laughed.
Fang Yuan: "..."
"A rookie trainer participating in a tournament? I think I'll pass. Eevee and I haven't even... uh..."
Taking the promotional poster from Tang Ying, Fang Yuan's expression suddenly changed.
"Wow, the champion's prize is a Soothing Bell."
A Soothing Bell, a bell with a pleasant tone, is a Pokémon-related item. Pokémon carrying it are soothed, allowing them to feel at ease and calm their minds.
Most importantly, it can make Pokémon more easily affectionate with their trainers.
This is exactly what Fang Yuan needs. Only by cultivating a strong bond with Eevee will he be able to evolve Eevee through friendship in the future, without relying on evolution items.
"You know this bell?" Tang Ying asked.
"I remember the bell's sound can calm Pokémon, right? Yeah, the internet jokingly calls it a Pokémon's sleep aid," Du Ai said.
"But this kind of bell is very rare. I haven't seen it sold anywhere other than by Dawn Group," Lu Jie said.
You don't understand...
Fang Yuan decided that he must get this bell and put it around Little Eevee's neck.
"Champion's prize: Soothing Bell, 100,000 yuan in cash, Dawn Group membership card."
"All of this can be obtained for free," Fang Yuan said.
"Wake up, you can just participate with Eevee to experience it. It's about participation, you really think you can win the championship?" Senior Tang Ying patted her forehead, helplessly.
"The Little Phoenix King Cup is one of the most famous events in Modu. The number of participants will probably be much more than all the students in Peaceful City First High School combined. Even the preliminaries won't be easy to pass."
Fang Yuan also calmed down.
That's right... If you could easily win a tournament in a metropolis like Modu, that would be too much.
But...
The Soothing Bell, he wants it.
100,000 yuan in cash... he also needs it.
The Dawn Group membership card offers discounts on Dawn Group products. He can buy Miltank Milk cheaper then, he shouldn't pass it up.
These people are really bad, actually using the Little Phoenix King Cup to tempt him. The key is that he actually took the bait.
"The event is held in mid-August, before the start of school. I have about a month and a half to prepare..." Fang Yuan said, "If Eevee and I train hard for this month and a half, is it possible to achieve something? Even second place has a 50,000 yuan cash reward, and the top sixteen all have prize money."
The members of the Psychology Club almost forgot that Fang Yuan's family conditions were not very good. After thinking about it, Lu Jie said, "It's not impossible, but other people who are preparing to sign up will definitely be working hard to train their Pokémon's battle abilities during this time. If you really want to try, you have to hurry."
Fang Yuan nodded. He had originally planned to go back and train with Eevee, and now, a goal that was very close to him had appeared, which gave Fang Yuan even more motivation.
"Eevee."
At the same time, Eevee glanced at the pendant-like silver bell ornament on the poster, thought it looked pretty good, and called out, thinking it was worth a try.
"Then it's decided?" Fang Yuan said to Eevee.
"Wait a minute, I think... we seem to have gotten off topic. Are we still playing cards?" Du Ai said blankly.
"What are we playing? Let's help this kid Fang Yuan figure out how to train Eevee. He's a member of the Psychology Club after all. It would be too embarrassing to be eliminated in the preliminaries."
