Eevee was resisting, but South University Affiliated High School wouldn't give Eevee a chance to break through.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~ The three Pokémon also failed to stop Houndoom and Flareon from strengthening themselves. After their strength rose a level, they began to counterattack. At this time, Zubat also flew across the river, launching a Feint Attack.
South University Affiliated High School... began to launch a strong attack.
...
"That Ralts, actually knows Destiny Bond??"
Zhuang Xin had already resigned herself and sat down. Once entangled by the Destiny Bond move, even a god couldn't escape.
And the other Professional Trainers said in disbelief.
Even they had never heard of any Ralts that could use the Destiny Bond move.
"It's a hereditary move."
"That Ralts was hatched from an egg that its Trainer specifically bought from a Breeder. It's a special Pokémon with a hereditary move."
Beside them, Master Xu Zhi smiled: "This is one of the trump cards that South University Affiliated High School prepared for this Team Battle. It was originally prepared for Martial Advance High School and Abundant City Middle School, but they actually hid it until now and used it on Peaceful City First High School. It seems that both their teachers and players value this Fang Yuan very much."
"Indeed, if that Eevee is allowed to continue, the outcome is still unknown. Consuming and restricting it in a one-for-one exchange, and then victory is guaranteed."
"They really think highly of us..." Zhuang Xin snorted.
Although she expected to lose, Nanjiang Affiliated High School was too dirty, using moves like Destiny Bond to take down Eevee, which was hard to accept.
Including Zhuang Xin, all the teachers of Peaceful City First High School did not expect that the opponent had hidden advanced moves like "Destiny Bond" and "Wonder Room", and only used them now.
...
In the end, facing the strong attack of South University Affiliated High School, Peaceful City First High School, without Eevee, was simply unable to resist.
Four against four.
Lin, Liu and the others only held on for about twenty seconds before being completely defeated by the opponent.
In such a short period of time, Eevee had just broken free from the Curse Power.
The price was that it was already unable to carry out high-intensity battles.
"Eevee..."
Looking at the teammates falling one by one, and the ferocious Haunter, Houndoom, Zubat and other Pokémon in front of it, Eevee took a small step back, and then bared its teeth.
If you have the ability... come at me one by one.
...
The result was obvious.
So far, the only schools that have maintained a complete victory record are South University Affiliated High School and Martial Advance High School .
"Phew..."
Returning to the Players' Lounge, Fang Yuan was still a little unwilling.
"Don't take it to heart, it's just a battle. Prepare seriously for the next battle." Teacher Bai Ning said.
Liu Le, Lin Jing, and the others lowered their heads.
This battle ended too quickly; they didn't even have room to resist, so the psychological gap was huge.
"Cheer up!"
As if anticipating that the Peaceful City First High School team would be in this state of mind, Zhuang Xin specifically left the guest seats and came to the players' lounge, frowning as she looked at them.
"You're already discouraged? Have you forgotten how I taught you?"
"You were able to win the previous few battles largely due to Fang Yuan and Eevee's contributions. However, a Team Battle isn't just about one Trainer. This time, the opponents' team strength, coordination, and tactics were clearly stronger. Your loss is also a valuable one!"
"Instead of being discouraged, you should think about how to improve yourselves. Which Trainer hasn't lost before?"
Liu Le, Lin Jing, and the others nodded embarrassedly.
After a moment of silence, Zhuang Xin called Fang Yuan aside.
Looking at Zhuang Xin, Fang Yuan said:
"I also bear responsibility this time. I didn't expect moves like 'Wonder Room' and 'Destiny Bond' to appear..."
Fang Yuan sighed. If he had been able to detect them, even if they lost, they could have lost more spectacularly.
At least he could have taken away a few more of their Pokémon...
But there are no 'ifs' in battle.
Zhuang Xin smiled: "It's the first time I've heard you say something like that."
She thought that a genius like Fang Yuan wouldn't be able to accept defeat.
"But don't just blame yourself. Even a group of Professional Trainers didn't anticipate it. Inherited moves... no one would think in that direction."
"The knowledge involved is too broad."
Fang Yuan scratched his head, still reflecting on himself.
"Alright, the main reason I came down here is to tell you that in the upcoming Team Battles, you should selectively participate and perform. Focus on your Individual Battles."
"Although it's an Individual Battle, you also represent Peaceful City, so don't have any concerns."
It's impossible to maintain a perfect record in the Team Battles. Neither South University Affiliated High School, Abundant City Middle School, nor Martial Advance High School are pushovers. The overall quality of Peaceful City First High School isn't high, and Fang Yuan and Eevee alone can't carry them.
Therefore, Zhuang Xin also understands that it's necessary to make trade-offs when necessary. Now, Fang Yuan's individual performance should be prioritized.
At the very least, the Team Battles shouldn't be a drag on Fang Yuan.
"Are you referring to... that Shadow Ball?" Fang Yuan said softly. The Spiral Shadow Ball move is difficult to use in an Individual Battle without teammates helping to stall for time, unless he uses tricks.
He originally had a chance to show it off in the Team Battle against South University Affiliated High School, but because the match ended too quickly and the opponent's suppression was too strong, he couldn't find an opportunity to use it...
"Yes." Zhuang Xin nodded.
Fang Yuan immediately understood Zhuang Xin's meaning.
"Okay, I will win the Individual Battle championship."
...
"Eevee!! Eevee!!"
After recovering its condition, Eevee, holding the Phone, gesticulated at the reporters' reports.
"Jiang Ran's first confrontation with Fang Yuan, Jiang Ran is more skilled, Fang Yuan is defeated."
"Eevee, falling into the trap, can no longer lead the team to victory."
"Based on the Team Battle, some analysis of the Individual Battle is conducted..."
Various reports and posts emerged one after another, and Eevee became more and more angry as it read them.
"Look, isn't there also praise for you?"
Seeing that Eevee was angry, Fang Yuan comforted it and opened a post from a user he followed called "Xiao Shuang-chan".
"Tenacious willpower, withstanding the powerful Pokémon using Destiny Bond, I, Xiao Shuang-chan, am willing to call you the strongest Eevee!"
Eevee: "..."
Eevee silently scrolled through the comments. Fortunately, there were still many supporters of it in this post.
Seeing this, Eevee couldn't help but feel a little better.
"Eevee!!" Eevee cried out, complaining to Fang Yuan that Growlithe and Snorlax were not strong enough.
Lin Jing and Liu Le must treat it to a meal.
"Easy, easy, it should be." Fang Yuan nodded.
Indeed, Eevee was too wronged. It was schemed against by the opponent's Dirty Tactics right from the start... In this kind of Team Battle, without the strength to defeat nine opponents alone, it's really difficult to win.
Even if you are slightly stronger, you never know what method the opponent will use to scheme against you.
Fang Yuan considers himself not clean, but this time... they were obviously the ones being schemed against, and he would get his revenge sooner or later.
In the Individual Battle.
Fang Yuan continued to browse the reports. Due to the failure of the Team Battle, the internet was becoming less optimistic about him and Eevee.
In the previous championship prediction, he and Jiang Ran were 40-60.
He was 40, Jiang Ran was 60.
But in just a short while, the prediction had actually changed to 30-70.
