"Torkoal is unable to battle…"
Two minutes later, with Torkoal falling, Xu Jing from Heavenly Heart Dojo advanced, and Xiao Wenyu was regrettably eliminated.
The slow-moving Torkoal was completely stifled against an Pokémon like Abra, which could run and fight.
The result was as expected.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan sighed.
He was going to have a final battle with this Psychic, Xu Jing.
And his confidence in victory… was only fifty percent.
This was his only battle he wasn't very confident about.
With the match over, Fang Yuan didn't plan to wait for the Commentator to review the battle. After saying hello to Lin Jing, he left directly, heading straight for the warm-up area provided for the contestants.
Only two matches had been held this morning, so there was still a long time before the final. During this time, he and Eevee could prepare a little more.
This preparation… left them exhausted.
...
"Thank you."
Inside the Infirmary of the Oriental Pearl Arena, after a Pokémon Doctor's Chansey restored Eevee's stamina, Fang Yuan thanked them.
"Eevee."
Eevee jumped onto Fang Yuan's shoulder and also said thank you.
"This is the second time you've been here this morning. Although we will do our best to let Eevee battle in top condition, the more treatments you receive, the less effective they will be in the short term." The Pokémon Doctor said with a wry smile.
"This should be common sense. Continuous treatment of Pokémon will create resistance to healing moves."
"This is definitely the last time." Fang Yuan said awkwardly.
"But your will to win is worth encouraging. Good luck in the finals!" The Pokémon Doctor said.
Fang Yuan and Eevee thanked them again.
Because the competition organizers would ensure that the Pokémon were in top condition, Fang Yuan and Eevee did a small test before the final began.
The test was to find out where Eevee's limit was.
And the method of testing was to constantly use moves like Quick Attack and Sand Attack.
For the upcoming final, Fang Yuan simulated the approximate battle situation of the two Pokémon in his mind.
Based on the fighting styles of Eevee and Abra, their battle would be a Stalemate.
In a short period of time, neither Eevee nor Abra could do anything to each other.
Both sides repeatedly attacked, trying to knock down the enemy, but were immediately dodged. The confrontation time was particularly long, and the consumption was particularly high. They were evenly matched, like a Stalemate.
During this period, as long as one side made a small mistake, they would lose everything.
Eevee's advantage was that it had a lot of stamina and was very resistant to hits. This was all honed in its Tree stump training and Bite Special Training against Rattata, which was a real advantage.
And Xu Jing's Abra, with its unpredictable movements and powerful attacks, can be seen as a combination of Fang Yuan's previous opponents, Misdreavus and Snorunt, while also bringing together the strengths of both.
Therefore, if Eevee can win, the main reason must be its stamina and willpower.
After coming out of the Infirmary, Eevee stood on Fang Yuan's shoulder, looked at the sky, and felt some emotion about the efforts of these days.
The next moment, Eevee felt its head being touched, it looked down and saw that it was indeed Fang Yuan.
"Don't feel pressured."
"Even if you don't win, I'll buy you a Phone, after all, you've worked very hard." Fang Yuan said with a smile.
Eevee: (ω), immediately showed a surprised expression.
Afterwards, Eevee breathed a long sigh of relief, as if it had put down some burden.
At this moment, Fang Yuan suddenly felt a softness in his shoulder.
He took a closer look and found that Eevee immediately showed the temperament of a salted fish.
It almost wrote "I don't want to work hard anymore" on its face.
Fang Yuan was immediately shocked.
Shouldn't you be more moved, and then explode with one hundred and twenty percent of your combat power to fight? Why did you suddenly collapse? This is not following the script at all.
"Big problem..." Fang Yuan thought to himself, and missed the time when he first did Special Training with Eevee.
At that time, Eevee was still a good child, unable to bear to see Fang Yuan, as its Trainer, suffer, and worked hard in training, without complaint or regret.
But now...
Fang Yuan felt that Eevee's state was not good.
Very bad.
He immediately added:
"Even if you don't win, I will buy you a Phone, but I can't buy too expensive one, you also know, we are short of money."
"I'm going to buy you an old-fashioned Phone like my Grandmother's, with a small body, loud sound, and simple operation, very suitable for you."
Eevee: ??? As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yuan felt his shoulder become much heavier again.
Eevee suddenly bristled, its whole body tensed up, and it stood up abruptly.
Immediately afterwards, Eevee patted Fang Yuan's shoulder to reassure him.
"Eevee!"
It called out confidently, as if to say that it was sure to win this championship! "That's the kind of fighting spirit I want!" Fang Yuan said with satisfaction.
"Let's go, let's have a good meal at noon today."
...
Time passed little by little.
Whether it was the Little Phoenix King Cup Official Website, the Official Forum, or the Shuguang Live APP that broadcasted simultaneously, they were all very lively.
The Little Phoenix King Cup has progressed to this point, nearing its end, with only the final battle remaining.
Watching these Rookie Trainers battle is quite interesting. Perhaps, looking back a few years later, one might discover that these Rookie Trainers have already grown into renowned Professional Trainers, or even national idol-level Elite Four members or Elite Four champions.
This feeling is very peculiar.
Fang Yuan, as a Dark Horse, broke into the finals as a non-Seed Player, attracting the most attention.
Although the Little Phoenix King Cup doesn't have a huge influence, for a Rookie Trainer, gaining such attention is something to be proud of.
That afternoon, the time for the final battle slowly approached.
The audience arrived at their seats early, waiting for the start of the final battle.
On the other side, the guests also arrived one after another, discussing what the final result would be as they walked.
"This Fang Yuan is really unexpected. Principal Shen, aren't you the most fond of poaching people? The school Fang Yuan attends seems to be just a very ordinary high school. If you can invite him, he might be very willing to transfer."
"After next year's College Entrance Examination, he might be another top student at Modu University."
"You talk too much." The person called Principal Shen glared at the guest who spoke to him, but he began to calculate in his heart.
Their school doesn't lack money, but it lacks talent. When these graduates become Professional Trainers in the future, the graduating school will also benefit.
"Let's investigate after it's over. If he's suitable, we can talk." Principal Shen thought to himself.
Ten minutes later, everything was in place, and the Referee and Commentator arrived at their respective positions.
As the match time approached, Fang Yuan and Xu Jing walked out of the player tunnels on both sides amidst the applause of the audience.
Xu Jing looked very ordinary, no different from ordinary high school students, but her eyes were very beautiful, making people unable to help but want to look at her for a few more seconds.
Fang Yuan coughed and looked at her, just about to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Jing: "Shh, quietly wait for the match to start, okay."
"..." Fang Yuan.
What's going on? They won't even let me talk? How come the players nowadays are more delicate than the last.
