Pokemon Master

Thanks to the sand attack move Eevee was able to build the sandcastle as it desired.

In addition to the specific effect in the game, the sand attack could also help Eevee control sand more easily, making the sand on the beach more "obedient".

In this trip, in addition to deepening the relationship with Eevee, the sand attack move could be said to be the biggest harvest.

So far, little Eevee, who has just reached the age of "nine days", has control of four moves; Tackle, Growl, Tailwhip, and Sand attack.

Although the Growl and Tailwhip had little effect, Fang Yuan gave it up when little Eevee used it a few times, as it was completely harmless and there wasn’t even a little threat.

However, Fang Yuan was grateful that he had cultivated enough interest in fighting for Eevee. As for how long this enthusiasm can last, Fang Yuan is not sure. But anyway, at present, Eevee was in a very good state and was looking forward to the training method that Fang Yuan mentioned which could make it stronger.

Eevee also wants to be strong, like the protagonists in movies and battle videos, and become the focus of attention on the battlefield.

Vee~~

After spending the whole day on the beach, Fang Yuan and Eevee went back to the room and immediately took a shower to refresh themselves.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that they have been just playing all day, both of them were tired as dogs, especially little Eevee. It has been using the Sand Attack to control the sand for a long time which was very demanding in energy.

At dinner time, Eevee drank two big bowls of warm milk, and hiccuped with satisfaction, as it was in its growth period—- it ate more!

Knock…Knock… Knock.

Just when everything was finished, Fang Yuan and Eevee had decided to continue looking for a movie, but then there was a knock on the door of the room.

“Hey, Fang Yuan, Eevee, want to play cards?” Lu Jie outside the door said.

“Vee?” Eevee wondered what it was.

“Let’s go and look.” Fang Yuan said to Eevee.

Eevee nodded.

“Coming” after Fang Yuan said, Eevee jumped onto his shoulder, and then they followed Lu Jie to the opposite room.

“What did you do with Eevee today? You both look tired.”

“You might not believe…”  Fang Yuan smiled.

After arriving at the opposite room, Fang Yuan found that the other three were already there. He explained the experience of the day to them, after hearing everyone’s eyes widened.

“So… it understood the Sand Attack move?” senior sister Tang Ying said in astonishment.

“If my Graveler hears it, it might want to beat me. I remember it learned the move through special training.” Meng Zicheng said.

“You are so lucky.” Du Ai said.

“I did not expect….  A man who wants to be a professional trainer really has some skills” Lu Jie sighed. He saw that although Fang Yuan and Eevee had been together for just a few days, the relationship between them was really good.

“The flower you're nourishing doesn't bloom but the willow you accidentally planted grows into a big one,” Fang Yuan said.

(TN: it means that the work you put in effort doesn't turn out to be a good outcome but some other things that you do without much effort bring you unexpected outcomes)

“Maybe Eevee and I have a good mutual understanding.”

“Vee!” Eevee nodded proudly.

“Bragger.”

“You two are now bragging together, little Eevee has been damaged by you.” Du ai said: “Oh, little Tang, show him the poster we found today.”

“Uh, what poster?” Fang Yuan asked.

“Young phoenix King cup rookie trainer competition.” Tang Ying said.

Rookie trainer…. Competition?

Young phoenix king cup?!

“It's a local competition held by Shanghai for prospective high school students like you. All the participants are newcomers who have just got their beginner pokemon. It's sponsored by the Shuguang Group, and the prizes are very rich.” Lu Jie said.

"What they mean is, they want you to come in and watch you get whipped." Meng Zicheng laughed.

Fang Yuan: “…”

“Participating in the rookie trainer competition? I think it’s better to forget, Eevee and I haven't started training yet…”

After taking the promotional posters that Tang Ying passed over, Fang Yuan’s eyes suddenly changed.

“Wow, the championship prize is actually a Soothe bell.”

Soothe Bell, a bell with a comforting chime, was a pokemon related item. The pokemon who carries it would immediately feel soothed, which makes the pokemon’s spirit calm and at ease.

Most importantly, this bell makes it easy for the Pokemon to become friendlier with the trainer.

“Do you know about this bell?” Tang Ying asked.

“As far as I remember the chime of the bell seems to calm pokemon, doesn't it? Yes, the internet jokingly calls it an assistant for helping Pokemon sleep.”

What do you guys know?…

Fang Yuan decided that he must get the bell and put it on little Eevee’s neck.

“Championship prize, Soothe bell, 100,000 yuan cash, and a Shuguang Group membership card.”

“Young phoenix king cup is one of the most famous events in Shanghai City, and the number of participants is estimated to be much more than all the students in Pingcheng No. 1 High School. Even the preliminary matches are not so easy to pass.”

Fang Yuan calmed down.

That's right… this kind of metropolitan competition in Shanghai, you can’t win the championship casually.

But…

The Soothe bell, he wants it.

100,000 yuan cash… he needs it too.

The Shuguang Group membership card offers discounts on the products of the Shuguang group. In the future when he buys milk of Miltank it would be a little cheaper.

This group of people was really bad, actually used the Young phoenix King Cup to tempt him. The key was that he really got hooked.

“It is going to be held in the middle of August before school starts. I have almost about one and a half months to prepare…” Fang Yuan said, “If Eevee and I train hard in this one and a half months, is it possible for us to achieve results? Even if we are second, we will get a cash reward of 50,000 yuan, the top ten have bonuses.”

Several people in the psychology club almost forgot that Fang Yuan's family condition was not very good.  After thinking about it, Lu Jie said: “It's not impossible, but other people who are going to sign up will certainly work hard to train their pokemon’s fighting ability during this period. If you really want to try, you have to seize the time.”

Fang Yuan nodded, he was ready to go back and train with Eevee. Now that a close goal has appeared in front of him, it gave Fang Yuan more motivation.

“Vee”

At the same time, Eevee looked at the silver bell pendant on the poster and thought it was pretty good-looking, so it called out saying that it would give it a try.

“So then it's decided?” Fang Yuan said to Eevee.

"Wait a minute, I think… we seem to have gone out of topic. Aren't we going to play cards?

Du Ai said blankly.

“What play? We have to help Fang Yuan to figure out how to train Eevee. He is a member of the psychology club. It would be humiliating if he gets eliminated in the preliminaries.”
