"It seems I was overthinking it; even without evolving, this Eevee's strength is still quite exceptional," Zhuang Xin thought to himself.
The evolutionary stone prepared by the Ping City Trainer Association for Fang Yuan was now useless due to Eevee's physical examination report. Originally, Zhuang Xin was concerned that without evolving, Eevee's progress wouldn't keep up with the other new trainers' evolving Pokémon, but now it appeared there was no such issue.
So... what kind of trump card was Eevee still hiding?
"Eevee, use that one."
At that moment, Fang Yuan said.
The move they hadn't used yet was naturally the Spiral Shadow Ball.
At this point, Eevee didn't have much physical strength left. After creating a Substitute, using the Spiral Shadow Ball one more time should be its limit, and it was the perfect move to finish things off.
Upon hearing this, Eevee acknowledged.
After the Substitute was created, Yang Han and Zhuang Xin looked on intently, only to see the original Eevee and the Substitute come together and start to concentrate on a move that both professional trainers were very familiar with.
"Shadow Ball?" Eevee had already displayed the Shadow Ball in the battle just now, so it wasn't surprising that Yang Han was puzzled to see Eevee use the move again.
However, his confusion quickly disappeared.
With the help of the Substitute, the Shadow Ball began to undergo significant changes.
The constantly rotating Shadow Ball emitted a buzzing sound; its energy structure rapidly changed. Then, with the help of the Substitute's Helping Hand, this unstable energy began to stabilize. After a few seconds, the Shadow Ball suddenly shrank, and the terrifying tearing and devouring power was compressed together. With a flick from Eevee, the Shadow Ball rapidly flew towards Charizard!!
"Roar~"
For the first time, Charizard felt threatened by this Shadow Ball.
It immediately emitted blazing flames, confronting it with a Flamethrower attack.
The next moment, upon collision with the flames, the Shadow Ball exploded instantly. The compressed tearing and devouring power produced a great force, tearing through the oncoming flames!!
The dark purple energy continued to push through the flames towards Charizard, causing it to widen its eyes in dismay and reluctantly increase the strength of its Flamethrower.
Seeing this move, surprise flashed across the eyes of Yang Han and Zhuang Xin.
The power of this Shadow Ball...?
If this move hit successfully, at this stage of being a new trainer, even a Dark Type Spirit would definitely be knocked out in an instant.
"Substitute and Helping Hand, huh?" Zhuang Xin quickly stood up, murmuring to himself.
Multi-tasking? Lateral application of the Helping Hand move? Is this really a new trainer!
Utilizing Substitute and Helping Hand to change the original structure of a move, even at Zhuang Xin's level, he was very impressed by Fang Yuan's ingenuity.
On the other side.
As Charizard struggled to fend off the Spiral Shadow Ball, Yang Han also said, "Tell me, can the speed of this move be increased?"
The Substitute, along with the few seconds of preparation, completely allowed any opponent to react.
If it were a one-on-one match, this move would be too trivial, and Yang Han instantly saw the downside of the Spiral Shadow Ball.
"No more, if we want to be quicker, then we can only shorten the attack distance," Fang Yuan said.
"It's sufficient enough," Zhuang Xin said, "What we need to consider now is how you can become the core of a team, and have four teammates coordinate around you to perform."
Zhuang Xin realized, indeed, Fang Yuan and Eevee didn't need to adapt to their teammates; instead, it was the teammates who needed to keep up with their pace. Only in this way could their advantage be maximized.
Upon seeing the Pretentious moves and Spiral Shadow Ball technique, Zhuang Xin offered a prayer for Pingcheng's opponents.
