Greatest Pokémon Trainer

"It's Bite!"

In the guest section, several guests who had been seated since the start of the competition exclaimed in surprise.

"Such a well-hidden move, only revealing it when facing a Ghost-type Pokemon. What a surprise strategy."

"To defeat a Dream Demon, you have to make a quick decision. After all, opportunities for a counter like that only come once," another guest added.

"However… the reaction speed of this Eevee really startled me. Even when faced with the elusive Ghost-type Pokemon, it was able to respond swiftly, which is unbelievable."

A new Professional Trainer in the guest section curiously asked, "Wasn't that dodge just luck?"

"Of course not." A representative from the Magic City Trainer Association said with a smile, explaining to these Professional Trainers who had not seen the previous battles.

He particularly emphasized Eevee's Sixth Sense and quick reflexes.

"I see, so it has an extraordinary Sixth Sense and reaction speed?"

A few Professional Trainers stroked their chins, their curiosity about Fang Yuan and Eevee growing.

"Come to think of it, isn't that Fang Yuan the one from the interview video?"

Some Professional Trainers recognized Fang Yuan and expressed their surprise.

That's because the comments Fang Yuan made in the interview did not seem like those of a New Trainer.

It wasn't long before the battle between the seeded players of Group E and Group F commenced.

The Onix from Group E battled against Zhang Huan's Beedrill from Group F!

"That Zhang Huan has encountered a tough opponent indeed."

By this time, Fang Yuan had returned to the contestants' stand and began watching the match with Lin Jing.

Discovering that the one who had eliminated him, Zhang Huan, had encountered a challenging opponent, Lin Jing immediately cheered up.

"Beedrill up against Onix, huh? Looks like Zhang Huan's journey ends here."

"On the contrary, though Onix seems to have the advantage, it's actually not that hard to deal with," Fang Yuan said, interrupting her daydreams.

He and Eevee were not worried about Onix. As for Beedrill, which was more agile and also capable of Flying, there was even less reason to fear.

Although Onix was strong and had formidable defensive power, its large size made its movements extremely slow. A New Trainer would not be able to overcome this weakness in a short period of time.

When faced with a speed-oriented Pokemon, Onix was like a live target. It was their luck that they hadn't encountered nimble Water or Grass-type Pokemon before.

"As long as Beedrill is a bit careful and doesn't get hit by falling rocks, the rhythm of the battle will slowly shift in Beedrill's favor," Fang Yuan explained.

"Oh…"

Lin Jing nodded as if she understood.

Indeed, once the battle started, it played out exactly as Fang Yuan described. Beedrill adopted the Kite Strategy, and even without Eevee's reactive instincts, it slowly whittled down Onix's physical strength with Energy Gathering, Spike Cannon, and Poison Jab.

"That Beedrill is so strong," Lin Jing remarked.

After speaking, and before the next battle started, she began playing with her phone. A little while later, Lin Jing suddenly said, "People in the group chat want you to show up. Many are asking why you've become so powerful. Aren't you going to say something?"

What is there to say…

Fang Yuan shook his head, "No, let's focus on preparing for the matches instead."

Before doing anything serious, grouping by water... affects passion.

...

For the fourth match, Fang Yuan watched especially closely, and Lin Jing noticed Fang Yuan's expression.

"Are you really concerned about that Xu Lan?"

"She is an apprentice of the Winter Dojo, and that Snorunt's Ice-type moves are very powerful. In groups E and F, whether Onix wins or Beedrill wins, in my view, it will mostly end with them being eliminated by this Xu Lan," Fang Yuan said.

"A group's Xie Ming, H group's Xu Lan, as well as... L group's Xu Jing and her Casey, P group's Xiao Wen Yu and his Torkoal are probably among the top of the seed players,"

Xie Ming, Xu Lan, Xu Jing, Xiao Wen Yu, these four were the seed players Fang Yuan paid most attention to.

If Fang Yuan hadn't misjudged, these people would be his main opponents in the coming matches.

"H group's Xu Lan is likely going to beat Zhang Huan, and L group's Xu Jing and P group's Xiao Wen Yu should also advance. Between the two, it's hard to say who will win, but I lean more towards that Casey," Fang Yuan said.

"Is this all your analysis?" Lin Jing was surprised.

Fang Yuan scratched his head: "Someone analyzed it on the forum, but it's pretty much what I was thinking."

"Tch..."

In the fourth match, as expected, Winter Dojo's Xu Lan won.

Having watched the whole match, Fang Yuan had a chill in his heart. That Snorunt's Ice Energy was so pure, every time it managed to defeat the opponent in one or two moves. He absolutely couldn't let Eevee be attacked, otherwise it would be disastrous. However, given the current situation, the threat to the extremely quick-reacting Eevee wasn't too big, because Snorunt's attack speed was too slow.

The outcomes of the other groups didn't exceed Fang Yuan's expectations.

It wasn't until group K and L's battles that Fang Yuan turned his attention to the guest seats, picking up some vigilance as Xu Jing appeared.

He looked towards Lu Hai of Demon Capital University, a college student being a guest in such an event not only spoke of his strength but also his background. As an apprentice of Heavenly Heart Dojo, Lu Hai was one of the few psychics in the country.

And this Xu Jing, according to the leaks on the forums, was also a Heavenly Heart Dojo apprentice, a psychic as well.

So in Fang Yuan's eyes, that Casey seemed even stronger than Mr. Mime. He had a feeling that Xu Jing and Casey were the most dangerous of all the competitors, even though they hadn't shown their full strength yet.

As for why he felt this way, it might be because Fang Yuan was scared by Nastina in the Pokemon animation when he was a child.

Psychics who could turn people into dolls with just a gesture were not to be trifled with.

However, this Xu Jing probably wasn't that powerful; after all, those psychics shown on TV shows who could bend spoons with their minds were considered very powerful.

The final battle of groups O and P didn't bring much surprise, even against another seed player, the opponent couldn't withstand Xiao Wen Yu's Torkoal's Flame Vortex Offensive.

"Facing that Fire Vortex, probably only with Counter Shield would Eevee be able to protect itself," Fang Yuan thought to himself.

In less than a morning, the top eight were decided.

Pokemon in need of recovering physical strength and healing from injuries were completely taken care of by the Elf Doctors hired by the organizers. The injuries from these newbie-level battles were nothing to those Elf Doctors, just a healing move from an accompanying Chansey was enough to restore the Pokemon's condition without even needing medication.

Unfortunately, Chanseys were controlled by the state and ordinary trainers found them very difficult to acquire, otherwise, Fang Yuan would also like to obtain one.

Self-sufficiency would be so cool!

After the contest ended, Fang Yuan bade farewell to Lin Jing and hurriedly left.

This afternoon, he was the first to battle. After having his meal, he still had to continue discussing tactics with Eevee!
