Seeing Eevee emerge, sensing that Fang Yuan still had plans to fight, Electivire chuckled mockingly, scoffing at the duo's overestimation of their abilities.
Looking at the petite Eevee, with a scarf and a bell like a good baby, Electivire really couldn't fathom where Fang Yuan's courage came from.
Indeed... compared to Electivire's physique, Eevee seemed too harmless.
The next moment, electricity covered Electivire's body, turning it into a golden afterimage that streaked towards Eevee, with a mighty force within that felt like it could tear Eevee apart in an instant.
"Eevee, Reflect Wall!"
Fang Yuan spoke with unmatched calm, Eevee's Reflect Wall, formed by powerful mental strength, was an impenetrable defense for new trainers from Su province, but against Electivire, it shattered into pieces almost instantaneously.
Behind the Reflect Wall, Eevee, forming a Shadow Ball, launched an attack directly at Electivire's Thunder Punch coming head-on.
Electivire's fist was weakened by the Reflect Wall first and then collided with the Shadow Ball, an intense wave of energy exploding on impact; Electivire shielded its eyes with its other arm while firmly standing its ground, while Eevee was blown away by the fierce gust, tumbling in the air a few times before landing steadily.
"Good!" Seeing Eevee unaffected by the electric shock from Thunder Punch, Fang Yuan sighed in relief. Agreeing to let Eevee battle Electivire wasn't without consideration of the odds.
If it was a completely one-sided battle, he as a trainer would have to think long and hard, but now, Eevee was wearing an Insulation Ring, which could greatly reduce the damage from Electivire's Electric Moves!!
If that was the case, this battle might not be unwinnable!!
Swish!! Swish!! Swish!!
At Fang Yuan's command, Eevee created Shadow Clones; ten brown figures moved rapidly in an attempt to disrupt Electivire, and simultaneously, ten dark purple Shadow Balls were hurled towards Electivire.
But powerful electricity might not harm Eevee, it didn't prevent Electivire from using it for defense!!
"Argh!!" Electivire roared angrily as its emitted powerful electricity spread out in all directions, surrounding the Shadow Balls.
Golden light formed an electric net, blocking all the Shadow Balls; in the midst of the thunderous explosions, Electivire, faster than Eevee, moved again. This time, it didn't use Thunder Punch but Fire Punch, the same move it used against Little Magnetic Monster earlier.
Facing Electivire's ultra-fast speed, Eevee concentrated its spirit to the limit.
Sweat poured down Eevee's entire body; under the high-speed onslaught of Electivire, any slightest negligence would result in being hit disastrously, and this time, Electivire held nothing back.
The direct punch with sparks flew by as Eevee deftly anticipated Electivire's attack trajectory, using Payback to tap the ground repeatedly for an explosive burst of speed that narrowly dodged the move, its fur brushing past the flames.
Eevee flipped its body, and Iron Tail went swinging, but it was blocked by Electivire's crossing tails. Between Electivire's grinning, it released a terrifying electric shock along its tail, and despite the protection of the Insulation Ring, Eevee was inevitably flung away, finally looking at Electivire in a disheveled state.
The proud reaction speed brought about by Dangerous Premonition had no advantage over Electivire's reflexes and combat experience.
Thunderbolt!!
Although sensing that Eevee wasn't too fearful of Electric Moves, Electivire still preferred to attack using electricity!!
A massive current morphed into a golden bolt of lightning that careened through the air, sending rocks flying in disarray.
"Quick Attack!"
Eevee moved swiftly, pursued relentlessly by the Thunderbolt. As it moved, Eevee created afterimages that the Thunderbolt rolled over, devouring them all—
Suddenly, the Electivire let out a fierce cry, and the electricity it released doubled in strength. The speed of the Thunderbolt increased, and the thicker current instantly engulfed Eevee!!
Under the glow of the golden light, Eevee's body could be seen charred at a visible speed, and then... it completely disappeared!!
"Eevee, Shadow Ball." Fang Yuan's voice rose again, for what the Electivire had struck was only Eevee's Substitute. Eevee's real body had taken advantage of its shadow-making to move in the opposite direction, concealing itself in a blind spot, waiting for a chance to ambush.
The dark purple Shadow Ball that had formed in front of it was hurled for the second time. The moment the Substitute disappeared, the Electivire realized something was amiss. When it turned its head, Eevee was already leaping up, hurling the Shadow Ball directly at its head!
Boom!!
The intense Ghost Energy exploded on contact with the head. The Electivire, struck squarely, felt dizzy and experienced an echoing boom in its spirit, hit once again. The Electivire's red pupils glinted with a sliver of light, its anger surging. With crackling sounds at its feet, it harnessed Electromagnetic Power to instantaneously launch itself forward, sprinting at a speed even faster than Quick Attack.
"Not good!" Seeing the Electivire transform Electromagnetic Force into Explosive Power for a sprint, achieving unprecedented speed, Fang Yuan realized that Eevee might not be able to dodge this attack.
Facing the fleeting shadow that came before it, Eevee's expression tensed.
Bang!!
The newly landed Eevee was instantly grabbed by the throat with one hand by the Electivire and violently lifted into the air.
"Cough." Eevee was in extreme pain.
"Eevee, break free!!" This situation was dire; Eevee had a hard time resisting. Under the intense sense of suffocation, Eevee could only use the Payback Technique, unleashing a powerful surge of energy throughout its body in hopes of breaking the grip.
The Electivire hadn't anticipated Eevee to burst forth with such formidable strength, and its arm, shaken by Eevee's vigorous force, trembled briefly but still did not release its hold!!
However... what it was holding was clearly no longer Eevee.
It was the scarf around Eevee's neck, along with the bell attached to it.
Observing this, the Electivire curled its lips, glanced at Eevee backing away to a distance, revealing a taunting expression, and then... stretched out another arm, grabbing Eevee's silk scarf with both hands and ripping it apart!!
The white scarf, under the Electivire's tearing, was instantly shredded. Subsequently, the Electivire gathered its Fire Punch, and the torn scarf was slowly engulfed by the fire, with the Soothing Bell dropping to the ground.
The crisp ring of the bell reached the ears, followed by the Soothing Bell being crushed under the Electivire's foot, causing Eevee's pupils to shrink instantly.
At that moment, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky cleared.
