Chapter 95: The One-Eevee Army
"Eevee! (╬￣皿￣)"
Eevee bared its teeth fiercely. Other than me, who dares to hurt Torkoal like this? How dare that Scyther?! Eevee gave Torkoal's battered shell a couple of thumps, signaling that it would take revenge. Torkoal, with its bruised and swollen face, smiled stupidly.
"Round 3 of the individual match: Lu Ye vs. Su Yu!"
Having lost 2 matches in a row and being in an away game, Modu University was clearly at a disadvantage.
Zhai Wenyang just patted Gu Zhong's shoulder, smiling. "Don't stress, just go heal Torkoal first. Oh, right—this is the Oran Berry Pokéblock Teacher Lu left for you."
Han Xiaoxiao grinned. "Apparently, it's Teacher Lu's special recipe!"
Gu Zhong awkwardly took the Oran Berry Pokéblock, staring at it for a long time before nodding firmly.
As Lu Ye entered the field, the audience buzzed with chatter.
"What's with this Eevee? It hasn't evolved yet?"
"Su Yu is too strong! Is he going for a 3-KO streak?"
"Maybe even a 5-KO streak!"
Mr. Wang from Jinling University frowned. "This Lu Ye… Why have I never heard of him before?"
"I heard he's a Finance Department student," Cui Yuanshan said, smiling. "But his skill is extraordinary."
"A non-professional Trainer?!" Zhao Xianyong exclaimed. "I thought Teacher Lu was at least at the pro level!"
Qin Yu glanced at Zhao Xianyong. "You seem to know a lot about him?" A cold sweat dripped down Zhao Xianyong's forehead. After all, his fan badge in Teacher Lu's livestream was already level 10…
"A Finance student making the school team is impressive," Mr. Wang nodded. "But Su Yu is the Rookie King of Jiangsu Province, his strength—"
Before he could finish, Mr. Wang's eyes suddenly widened. Gasps filled the audience.
"Whoa! He's attacking right out of the Poké Ball!"
"Is this even allowed? An immediate Quick Attack?!"
Lu Ye just nodded calmly toward Su Yu. As the referee blew the whistle, he tossed the Poké Ball. A burst of white light shot out, slamming into Scyther's abdomen, making its eyes bulge!
"Scyther!" it groaned, swinging its scythe down, but only slicing through a Substitute.
Su Yu's eyelid twitched. "It's behind you!"
But his command was a beat too slow. Eevee flipped through the air, its Iron Tail glowing with a sharp white light as it smashed down!
"Hiss—" The pain of the head strike was beyond words. Scyther let out a pained screech and collapsed!
"Eevee!" Eevee kicked some sand onto Scyther's head and shook its head disdainfully.
The field fell into stunned silence. The Jinling University crowd gaped in disbelief. They knew Lu Ye was strong… but taking down Su Yu's Scyther in a single move?! At least give us time to mentally prepare! This battle ended in under 3 seconds—how could it be over so fast?!
Su Yu opened his mouth, staring blankly at Lu Ye, replaying the battle in his mind. From the moment the Poké Ball was thrown, he had anticipated Scyther's movement… And the coordination with Eevee was flawless… Is this guy really just a student? Is something wrong with the world?!
"I know what you want to say," Lu Ye smiled, his gaze sharpening. "Next."
Su Yu froze, his words stuck in his throat, his face flushing with embarrassment.
The audience also fell silent. Did he really mean to say… he'd use Eevee to sweep all 5 opponents? That's impossible!
In Jinling University's player section, Feng Zhe spoke coldly, "Coach, I'm up next!"
Cui Yuanshan frowned and nodded. "Be careful…" Years of coaching gave him a sharp intuition. Lu Ye's strength might be far beyond his expectations… but this was Jinling University's home field.
Cui Yuanshan chuckled, shaking his head. "An Eevee sweeping 5 opponents? Impossible."
Zhao Xianyong muttered under his breath, "With Teacher Lu's skills… it's not impossible…"
Feng Zhe stepped onto the battlefield, saying coldly, "An Eevee team sweep? You're dreaming."
"That's what I'm saying—these days, nobody believes the truth." Lu Ye sighed. His words were always so sincere. If people didn't believe him, he'd just have to prove it with actions.
Feng Zhe threw his Poké Ball, and a muscular Primeape appeared, snarling. The whistle blew.
"Primeape, Karate Chop!" Feng Zhe roared.
The furious Primeape charged at Eevee, screeching. Eevee bristled. "Eevee! (▼皿▼#)" I didn't yell at you—why are you yelling at me?!
Eevee's ears twitched, and its fur stood on end. Its Anticipation ability kicked in, boosting its alertness.
Lu Ye raised an eyebrow, glancing at Primeape's move list. Counter… a serious threat to Eevee.
"Eevee, Quick Attack into the air!"
Eevee darted across the field, leaping high.
Feng Zhe smirked coldly. Reckless face-to-face tactics, huh? You think my Primeape will blindly charge in too? "Primeape, Counter!"
"Eevee, Swift!"
As Eevee descended, Primeape swung its fist but was suddenly struck by a barrage of star-shaped beams. The relentless Swift attack hit Primeape repeatedly, and Eevee landed gracefully, its Iron Tail swinging down hard!
Thud!
Feng Zhe blinked, stunned by the sight of Primeape sprawled out, unconscious. This guy… wasn't he supposed to use Quick Attack? How did he anticipate my command?!
Primeape was knocked out of bounds. Feng Zhe's face turned ashen.
The arena was dead silent, except for Lu Ye's calm voice. "Next."
Han Xiaoxiao shivered, resisting the urge to cheer for Lu Ye. He'd beaten 2 opponents already. If he lost now, it would embarrass Modu University!
Zhai Wenyang frowned deeply. Thanks to Su Yu and Gu Zhong's matches, this friendly game was already heated. But Zhai Wenyang was fired up too. Jinling University wanted Su Yu to make a name for himself? Did they think Modu University was easy to bully?
"Jiang Chen, if Lu Ye loses, you're up next," Zhai Wenyang said coldly. "We have to win this!"
Jiang Chen nodded hesitantly, then laughed bitterly. "Coach, I don't think I'll get the chance…"
Zhai Wenyang froze. A dark blur flashed by, and a Rhyhorn was sent flying by Eevee's Iron Tail, crashing into an ad board. In just 10 seconds, Lu Ye had taken down another player?!
The audience murmured in disbelief.
"Did Eevee just knock out Rhyhorn?"
"Such a big size difference, yet it got one-shotted…"
"This Eevee is way too violent!"
"Eevee!" The small, adorable Eevee bared its teeth fiercely, standing beside the cool-looking young man.
Lu Ye glanced at the nervous Su Yu in the player section and smiled calmly. "Next."
