A One-Man Stage
"So, you're finally going all out?"
In the match between Peaceful City First High School and Calm Sea High School, Eevee finally displayed its other abilities.
Professional Trainer Zhao Yan, along with some teachers from Wuzhou First High School who came to watch the battle, felt complicated.
They all knew that this Eevee's close combat ability was no less impressive than its Psychic Power.
The impact of instantly penetrating the Fire Vortex, knocking away the Magmar, and cracking the wall was not just for show.
Moreover, as the discoverer of the Anticipation Ability, Eevee's reaction speed had definitely reached a level that Rookie Trainers could hardly achieve.
"Headache, although the members of Wuzhou First High School have improved a lot, this Eevee seems to have improved even more. I knew I shouldn't have bet with Yang Han..."
...
Bang!!
On the battlefield.
Vigoroth's Slash collided with Eevee's Iron Tail, their strengths evenly matched.
But suddenly, Eevee's tail exerted force a second time, successfully bouncing itself away.
Vigoroth thought Eevee was scared and didn't dare to engage in close combat with it.
But the next moment, an attack descended, hitting Vigoroth and leaving it dumbfounded.
It endured the pain and looked back, only to find that it was its teammate who had rushed up.
The teammate had wanted to attack Eevee just now, but because Eevee noticed and dodged, the attack hit Vigoroth instead.
"Ooo!!!" Vigoroth was extremely angry and shouted loudly.
Grandma's legs, it's one thing to carry you guys, but now you're even hitting your own people.
That damn Eevee was right, you guys are Pig Teammates.
Vigoroth cursed, and Calm Sea High School almost had internal strife.
"Vigoroth, calm down, use Uproar to see if you can wake them up."
Calm Sea High School's captain, Guo Xuan, was extremely calm at this time. He knew he couldn't panic, because if he did, it would all be over.
His teammates were desperately calling out to their Pokémon, and he had to help.
Heal Bell couldn't resist Swagger, and now he could only pin his hopes on Vigoroth's Uproar.
However, before Vigoroth could open its mouth, Eevee stomped hard and attacked again.
Eevee's movement was flexible, and it was not afraid of the attacks coming from all directions.
At the same time, Eevee was surrounded by white light.
This was its Payback move!
Payback manifested as a Quick Attack-like, self-sacrificing charge, the Normal-type Energy forming a shockwave with astonishing power! With terrifying air currents sweeping around its Body, Eevee directly crashed towards Vigoroth's chest, this momentum... directly forced Vigoroth to use Counter.
"Jump!" Seeing this, Fang Yuan shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Eevee instantly concentrated its power in its legs, jumped up with force, and leaped over the Vigoroth using the "Payback Splash".
Boom!!
Because of Eevee's jump, the Heracross, which was flying towards Eevee to strike with its horn, directly crashed into the Vigoroth...
The expressions of Vigoroth and Guo Xuan... froze instantly.
...
"Its strength is not only evenly matched with Vigoroth..."
"Its control, reaction awareness, and grasp of the overall situation are even better. No one would doubt that it has been trained specifically for two or three years..."
The judging panel highly approved of Eevee's performance.
Guo Xuan's Vigoroth, in terms of physical strength and close combat ability alone, is definitely among the best in this competition, ranking in the top three, capable of overpowering Fighting-type Pokémon despite the type disadvantage.
However, the seemingly frail Eevee showed no weakness, whether it was the power of its Iron Tail or the explosive force of its Quick Attack.
If they hadn't watched this match, no one would have believed that Eevee could compete with Vigoroth in strength.
And most importantly, Eevee doesn't just have strength; its Combat Awareness is the most terrifying aspect.
"No, hindered by its Pig Teammate, Vigoroth simply can't display its due strength..."
"If it were a one-on-one battle, Guo Xuan wouldn't be so passive."
The teacher from Calm Sea High School revealed an embarrassed expression. This is not a Team Battle at all.
Instead, Eevee alone is holding back five Pokémon. Is that even reasonable?
In other words, this has already become Fang Yuan's solo stage.
"It's over."
In the audience, the teacher from Peaceful City First High School didn't know how to express their feelings.
Amazing! At the beginning, when Fang Yuan said he wanted to try letting Eevee engage in close combat with Vigoroth to attract firepower, they thought Fang Yuan was crazy.
As the captain of Calm Sea High School, Guo Xuan's Vigoroth also had a record of three wins in three battles during the Selection Examination, each battle lasting no more than half a minute, with each attack being a one-hit kill.
The Vigoroth that sent opponents flying with a single punch had also left a deep impression on many people.
However, such a powerhouse, even fiercer than Fighting-type Pokémon, was evenly matched with Eevee in strength?
With Eevee simultaneously holding back five Pokémon, if Lin Jing, Liu Le, and others still couldn't defeat their opponents one by one, Peaceful City First High School could just forfeit.
Until the end, Vigoroth, covered in wounds from its teammates' attacks, was still very angry. Now, it had no strength left, and half of the wounds, which were supposed to be the marks of honor for a warrior, were left by its teammates.
"Ooh!!!" Vigoroth felt extremely sad, looked at Eevee in a daze, and then collapsed with a sigh of relief...
"Ee-hee hee~" Eevee stuck out its tongue in mockery, finally taking down this big fool.
...
"So strong."
As the match ended, reporter Lu Shuang murmured.
"This performance definitely has a chance to win the championship..."
Looks like the "Rookie King" and "Strongest Rookie" that he boasted about might actually become reality? In that case, he would be a "prophet."
...
"Was that too reckless?"
When Fang Yuan and the others returned to the Players' Lounge, Teacher Bai Ning said worriedly, "You still have Individual Battles coming up."
In the Team Battle, Fang Yuan and Eevee shouldered all the pressure, one person holding back an entire team, so the consumption they underwent must have been terrifying.
Fang Yuan still had two Individual Battles today, could he persevere?
Liu Le, Lin Jing, and the others also looked at Fang Yuan. No matter how strong Fang Yuan and Eevee were, they were still made of flesh and blood... there should be a limit, right?
"Just this once, I won't dare to play like this after the Main Competition," Fang Yuan said.
He just wanted Peaceful City First High School to maintain a perfect record in the Team Preliminary, and he had the ability to do so.
Among the twenty high schools, only a maximum of four could maintain a perfect record in the Preliminary, what a great honor that would be for Peaceful City First High School? However, according to Eevee's reaction, that Vigoroth's power was really exaggerated. If Eevee's control over its Body wasn't a bit stronger, if it didn't know some techniques to dissipate force, and if it didn't have Reflect to support it, the injuries to its Body would definitely be more serious now.
As for the results obtained by Fang Yuan and Eevee's efforts, they were also worthy of affirmation.
Soon, heated discussions spread online.
"Peaceful City First High School, a newly promoted super high school!!"
"Does a perfect record in the Preliminary mean that Peaceful City First High School has the same foundation as famous schools such as South University Affiliated High School, Martial Advance High School , and Abundant City Middle School?"
"Comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of high schools that broke through..."
And Fang Yuan, who caused these heated discussions and allowed Peaceful City First High School to successfully rank alongside those well-known high schools, also became the main subject of discussion.
Even before breaking through the Preliminary, many universities in the province threw olive branches at Fang Yuan, promising reduced admission scores and generous treatment after enrollment.
But these... naturally couldn't move Fang Yuan.
After all, his goal was the stars and the sea! The added value brought by winning next would only increase, and the Bonus was secondary.
Which university wouldn't want a student with extraordinary potential who also liked to win glory for the school?
