Greatest Pokémon Trainer

For the victory tomorrow, Fang Yuan and Eevee once again started studying their opponent that night.

The other party was Seed Player of Group C, whose Pokemon was Dream Demon.

Like most Ghost-type Pokemon, Dream Demon floated in mid-air and was very skilled at concealing its form; in the battles of the past few days, almost all its opponents had been defeated by its sudden appearance and surprise attacks.

This point, however, was not much of a concern for Fang Yuan and Eevee.

Now that Eevee had learned the Bite Technique, the Ghost Type—previously their most troublesome attribute—was no longer an unsolvable problem.

"If the other side doesn't have any hidden cards, the first battle tomorrow should end very quickly," Fang Yuan chuckled.

"Bwoo?"

Eevee first looked puzzled, but after seeing Fang Yuan's mischievous smile, it instantly understood.

This Dream Demon was good at hiding and then ambushing, so what they needed to do was to stay put honestly, wait for their prey to take the bait, and then strike to kill in one blow!

Betting on who had faster reactions, Eevee had never been afraid of anyone until now.

...

The top 16 battle, unlike the previous days.

Not only would there be teams from local TV stations coming to gather materials, but the whole process would also be broadcast live on the Dawn live streaming platform.

Without much thought, one knew that the attention on the upcoming battles would be even higher.

Among them, the most popular battles historically should be the finals and the first few battles of the first day.

Fang Yuan and Eevee were the second to enter the arena, an excellent sequence.

Perhaps because of yesterday's interview, when Fang Yuan went to the player's room to rest on the day of the match, many staff members greeted him.

This couldn't help but make Fang Yuan feel a bit elated. Was this what it felt like to be famous?

"There seem to be some new guests here today, and I heard that there are several Professional Trainers."

"Marsh Jumping Fish TV Station's team is also here; their programs are very well-known in the Trainer Domain."

Overwhelmed with excitement, Fang Yuan walked all the way to the player's room and sat for a long time before calming down.

"Student Fang Yuan, are you ready?"

In the player's room, the door suddenly opened, and Lin Jing, who had arrived from nowhere, sat down next to Fang Yuan with a grin.

"How did you get here? I thought you would find a cool spot early on and wait to watch the match."

"Actually, watching from anywhere is pretty much the same. You're going to play in a moment, and I'm here on behalf of all our classmates to give you a personal boost!" Lin Jing said.

"Well, thank you," Fang Yuan said.

"emmm you didn't check the group chat yesterday, did you? Let me tell you a secret, everyone in the class already knows that you're participating in the Little Phoenix King Cup; they're all waiting to watch your battle live, so you'd better perform well. Anyway, I've already bragged about you in advance..." Lin Jing said.

"Everyone knows,"

Fang Yuan laughed. Indeed, with Lin Jing participating in the Little Phoenix King Cup, the class had already started to pay attention to the event, and with yesterday's interview being broadcasted, there was no way he could have kept it a secret.

"Alright, don't worry, I'll certainly astound you all,"

Fang Yuan clenched his fist and waved it.

...

Inside the arena, after the commentator introduced the guests, the first battle was about to begin.

This was a battle between the Seed Players of Groups A and B, Scyther versus Mr. Mime!

The Psychic System Elf's Confusion could be said to be quite troublesome for the Pokemon of this stage.

As Scyther approached Mr. Mime, it was unexpectedly controlled by Confusion, its movements became sluggish, and it was unable to exploit its speed advantage.

Then, Mr. Mime controlled several magical leaves to strike, and only after enduring one attack was Scyther able to break free from Confusion.

Free from the control of Confusion, Wang Jie quickly gave an order, and in a moment, Scyther moved to Mr. Mime's side, launching continuous slashes with relentless aggression.

At the same time.

Mr. Mime quickly retreated, its fingertips generating a strange force field that solidified the air, creating actual walls to block the attacks.

However, Scyther did not intend to stop attacking. Fearful of Confusion, it constantly pressured Mr. Mime, preventing it from concentrating again.

In the end, since Mr. Mime was not good at close combat, it gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

"When battling against Psychic System Elves, the key is to prevent the opponent from concentrating and gathering Confusion energy. That was nicely done."

Fang Yuan nodded, it seemed that Eevee's opponent in the afternoon would be the Scyther.

Time ticked away, and Mr. Mime finally fell, with the end of the first match prompting the audience to burst into cheers and discussions once more.

"Who are the two contestants in the second match again?"

"It's Wang Jie and Fang Yuan... and their Pokemon are Dream Demon and Eevee."

"Ghost Type against Normal Type, looks like a match of both love and rivalry, haha."

In the midst of the audience's discussions, Fang Yuan and his opponent Wang Jie emerged from the contestants' tunnel and made their way to opposite sides of the central arena.

Then, the commentator reintroduced the information about both contestants, sparking another wave of enthusiastic interaction in the live broadcast and the stands.

"Fang Yuan, fight on!!"

"Fang Yuan, sister here is rooting for you!!"

"Eevee is so cute!!"

"Wang Jie, don't lose!"

"Go Dream Demon, charge!!"

"Take down that cute Eevee!"

Feeling the audience's passion, both Fang Yuan and Wang Jie smiled.

With only sixteen contestants left, the audience was already familiar with them and began to pick sides, cheering for their favorite Pokemon.

"Please give me your guidance."

Suddenly, Fang Yuan said politely.

"Uh... Please give me your guidance."

Wang Jie was a bit unaccustomed, why couldn't he remember Fang Yuan being so polite?

With confusion, Wang Jie sent out Dream Demon, and Fang Yuan sent out Eevee.

Looking at Dream Demon, whose hairstyle resembled Ghost Fire, Eevee bared its teeth, showing an expression that was both fierce and cute.

Seeing this, Dream Demon smiled mischievously, as if ready to treat Eevee as a new plaything to tease.

Bang!

At the referee's signal, Eevee quickly kicked up a cloud of dust, taking the initiative with a Sand Splash move.

Dream Demon promptly concealed itself, making it impossible for Eevee to locate its position.

Fang Yuan was silent, and so was Wang Jie; the atmosphere in the arena became instantly tense.

As time elapsed, Eevee's expression grew more cautious, constantly looking around in vigilance.

"Now's the time..."

"Dream Demon, Mental Fluctuation!"

Finally, Wang Jie issued the command, believing it to be the perfect moment for a sneak attack.

Dream Demon, ghostly as ever, launched an attack from a very close angle to Eevee's flank; nobody in the audience except for Wang Jie knew how it got so close to Eevee.

Seeing this unfold, Fang Yuan secretly thought he had it in the bag.

After witnessing Eevee's battle yesterday, Wang Jie and Dream Demon still had confidence in their sneaking tactic; they really were bull-headed.

The miraculous Thought Wave swept over swiftly. If it hit, Dream Demon's advantage would be established...

It must be said, Wang Jie and Dream Demon's sneak attack was spot on. If Eevee waited for Fang Yuan to realize what was happening, give a command, then for it to receive the command and respond, it would probably be too late.

However, Fang Yuan, having anticipated such a situation, didn't need to communicate with Eevee. In last night's tactical planning, he had already told Eevee about several possibilities that could occur.

Eevee, possessing the ability Dangerous Premonition, didn't even look in the direction of the incoming attack and instantly dodged using Quick Attack at the first opportunity.

Immediately after, it powered up its forelimbs, abruptly stopping its run to turn around, then stared at the direction from which the attack had come, leaping towards it aided by the Quick Attack.

Eevee, leaping up, formed a wheel of Dark Type Energy teeth in front of its mouth right under Dream Demon's panicked expression and viciously bit into Dream Demon's body.

Chicken-flavored, crisp and delightful.

"Bwoo—" In an instant, Dream Demon let out a cry of pain; Eevee secured a one-hit kill, and the fluid motions left Wang Jie and Dream Demon no time to react.

Thus, the match between Fang Yuan and another seed contestant was conclusively decided.
