After Fang Yuan's match, the preliminary selection continued in an orderly manner.
Each school received news of their own contestants' battles, and the teachers and students were either happy or worried.
However, this stage didn't mean that losing necessarily meant elimination; anything was possible, mainly depending on the referee's judgment.
...
"The team battle groupings should be out soon, right?"
The Individual Battle and Team Battle were held simultaneously, so it was inevitable that some contestants and Pokémon would experience a significant decline in condition, making them unsuitable for participating in the Team Battle.
Therefore, there were many unstable factors in the Team Battle... which was what worried the teachers the most.
Compared to the results of the Individual Battle, the teachers were more nervous about the upcoming Team Battle.
"It's out, the Team Battle groupings are out!!"
"Our opponent in the first Team Battle is..."
At this time, Fang Yuan had already returned to the Peaceful City First High School's Players' Lounge to rest.
As the first to compete, Fang Yuan was also the quickest to return.
A match could take as little as two or three minutes, or as long as... like Fang Yuan's, where the referee had barely said "begin" before the opponent was gone.
It couldn't be blamed on the opponents being too weak... it could only be said that the Rookie Trainers at the level of School Team Captains from each school were unbelievably strong, as if they were cheating.
It wasn't just Fang Yuan's match; one-sided situations were occurring in other areas as well.
"Ah... Great Peace Middle School??" After hearing the Team Battle groupings and the information about their first opponent, Fang Yuan's expression was as strange as could be.
You could say, wasn't this a coincidence?
Just yesterday, he had used Magnemite to consecutively defeat two substitutes and two regular members of their team, and today they were meeting again in the Team Battle?
Fate, how wonderful.
"Who, who, who???"
"Who's our first opponent?" Liu Le asked, looking incredulous as soon as he returned.
Great Peace Middle School... pfft.
"What are you laughing at?! Can you even compete?" Dean of Teaching Wu Pingqiu frowned at the laughing Liu Le.
Liu Le immediately wilted.
In the first round of the preliminary selection, Peaceful City First High School had three wins and seven losses, and he had also lost.
Snorlax had been abused♂ by the opponent's Machop and had already been sent for treatment.
"Our opponent was the vice-captain of Martial Advance High School , very strong... I couldn't beat him." Liu Le said with a mournful face, "When does the Team Battle start? I don't know if I can make it, but we fought very hard in the previous match, and even if Snorlax recovers, it probably won't be in the best condition."
Liu Le also reflected on why he lost. It must be because he hadn't spent enough.
Director Wu sighed. Three wins in the first round of the Individual Battle... the results weren't too bad. He glanced at Fang Yuan, who was already playing games with Eevee, and rubbed his temples. Were all geniuses this unique? "Fang Yuan, we need you to participate in the upcoming Team Battle. As for the others, I'll make a decision after considering the ten contestants' Pokémon types and the results of the Individual Battles from Great Peace Middle School. You and Eevee remember to rest."
"Okay." Fang Yuan nodded, then kept his head down, continuing to play Contra with Eevee.
Don't ever think that he doesn't value the competition; on the contrary, Fang Yuan is a Trainer who can clearly understand the situation. It is precisely because the upcoming competition is very important that he will take the time to play games with Eevee.
In the next few days, if Eevee is kept in a good mood, the effect of the Payback move it uses will definitely be better...
"Eevee, Eevee!!" Eevee's eyes were fiery. It could even play on the Phone during the competition. Fang Yuan was so good to it. It would have no regrets even if it died. Charge!!
To give an example, it's like when the final exam is approaching, the teacher not only doesn't give you homework, but also plays anime in class to relieve stress. Most students will definitely be very happy... and Eevee is the kind of freak that can really turn a happy mood into combat power.
...
There were four groups in the Team Battle.
Peaceful City First High School was in the third group, first facing off against Great Peace Middle School.
In terms of strength, if Peaceful City didn't have Fang Yuan, the two schools wouldn't be too far apart, but there are no ifs.
Liu Le ultimately failed to play. He really tried too hard in the first battle. This made the other team members and teachers look at him with new eyes. This kind of quality is rare in Liu Le and Snorlax. Was he stimulated? In the end, the candidates were decided. The lineup for Peaceful City First High School's first Team Battle was Fang Yuan, Lin Jing, Yue Chenfei, Zhang Yan, and Zhang Huanyu.
Although Liu Le didn't play, he watched his opponents gloatingly from the Players' Lounge.
One of the Great Peace Middle School team members walking towards them, unlike Liu Le, didn't look very happy.
"Damn it..." He looked at Fang Yuan.
This person was the Trainer with Snorunt who was defeated by Fang Yuan and Magnemite yesterday...
On the Great Peace Middle School's Players' Lounge side, there were also three people staring unhappily at Fang Yuan, who was leading the team.
After being abused for so long, they found that the other side hadn't used their full strength at all, which was too stimulating.
It is worth mentioning that.
Team Battles are all on special battlefields. This time, the battle drew a Rock Battlefield. After the two teams entered, the central Ground separated...
Rumble.
The ten-sided Rock Battlefield slowly rose, and the uneven terrain would limit the movement of some Pokémon, further testing the coordination and reaction abilities of the Pokémon.
Seeing the Rock Battlefield, Fang Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he stood in his position.
...
"Late, late..."
In the outer reporter area, Lu Shuang rushed over and immediately showed joy after discovering that Fang Yuan was playing for the Peaceful City First High School team.
She found that Fang Yuan and Eevee's position on the battlefield was the center of the team, which meant that this battle would be fought with Eevee as the tactical core. Now Lu Shuang was very curious about what kind of tactics Fang Yuan and Eevee would show.
After both sides were ready, the Referee nodded and, with an order, the battle began!!
At the beginning of the battle, both the players and teachers from Great Peace Middle School were very surprised.
Because Eevee rushed out alone at the first moment, attracting all the attention and putting itself in the best position to be focused on.
What does this mean? The choice now facing the Great Peace Middle School players is whether to focus their fire and eliminate the running Eevee first.
Eevee, running to the center of the battlefield, seemed to be mocking the incompetence and weakness of its opponents all the way... running with a pace that recognized no one, unscrupulously.
At this time, the Great Peace Middle School School Team Captain's thoughts were like a storm. After the chaos, he immediately opened his mouth and ordered his Ariados to attack, but...
A second or two after the Great Peace Middle School's contestants successively issued commands, they realized that their Pokémon's condition was not quite right, and they were not responding to the Trainer's commands at all.
"Bu pei~~" Eevee made a contemptuous gesture... it was these Pokémon that interrupted its game. Facts proved that a good mood could also be manually converted into angry emotions, all within Fang Yuan's calculations.
In the next moment, the Pokémon of the Great Peace Middle School team rushed towards Eevee frantically, seemingly wanting to tear Eevee apart...
"Hehe, with that Eevee's Psychic Power level, in this competition, it is estimated that only a very few Pokémon can resist its Swagger move." Zhuang Xin, a Professional Trainer from Peaceful City, appeared in the audience for the first time. After taking a look at the trend of the competition, she laughed.
This tactic was first to have Eevee enrage the entire opponent, and then use Eevee's Shadow Ball, Growlithe's Flamethrower, Cloyster's Spike Cannon, Murkrow's Dark Pulse, etc... these long-range attack moves, to smash towards the opponent.
In the process, the irrational Pokémon in the Great Peace Middle School team would have their strength and quality improved due to the influence of Anger Energy. There was no doubt that there was still a risk in fighting them at close range. In this case, making good use of the distance of the battlefield, and the fact that the opponent could not react to the Trainer's commands at all and had difficulty fighting rationally, adopting long-range bombardment methods was almost like hitting a live target, and victory was almost guaranteed.
In short: Anger Bombardment Style.
"Damn." In an instant, the contestants from Great Peace Middle School also lost their minds and were at a loss!
