Forget it, no use in thinking that far ahead for now.
Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Since direct use of psychic powers doesn't work, Solar Spirit, use Sand Splash."
Sand Splash?
Hearing Fang Yuan's command, Xie Qingyi and the Fairy Spirit both thought the Solar Spirit was going to use the kind of Sand Splash that spins.
But the next moment.
The Solar Spirit still used its mental power!
However, this time was different, once countless pebbles appeared on the ground, Psychic power covered them directly, and as the Solar Spirit manipulated them, the countless pebbles flowed backward, spreading in the air, creating a sandstorm-like layer over the field.
"This is..." Xie Qingyi suddenly realized.
First, create sand with Sand Splash, then control the sand with Psychic power, with the addition of psychic power, even the compressed pebbles could produce a destructive effect!
Reality is different from games, such as Dark Type Pokemon being more likely to break free from psychic control and unaffected by Superpower, so, if you use Superpower to control a few rocks or bullets to attack Dark Type Pokemon?
As the Solar Spirit used its excellent Coordination Ability to gather the pebbles in the air, in an instant, the droplet-like pebbles rained down on the Fairy Spirit like a torrential downpour.
Xie Qingyi's expression changed subtly. It seemed that the Solar Spirit's mighty mental power was not its only strong point.
Its most remarkable ability was its control over various energies with its mental power, along with its coordination of moves!
Fang Yuan smiled slightly, that's right, since Eevee was born, it has developed a variety of skill-based trump cards. Its coordination ability and mental power complement each other.
"Fairy Spirit, use Fairy Wind," Xie Qingyi declared with a wave of her hand, the Fairy Spirit's ribbons danced, and a pink whirlwind formed in an instant.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~
The raindrop-shaped pebbles, powered by psychic force, violently intermingled with the Fairy Wind, setting off countless ripples, and in an instant, the sky was filled with sand, with most pebbles, despite the enhancement of psychic power, unable to break through the defense of the Fairy Wind.
Then suddenly.
There was a dull sound in the Fairy Wind created by the Fairy Spirit, and a hole was pierced through the middle, exposing it to the Fairy Spirit's eyes, causing its pupils to shrink.
This was a bullet made of pebbles, slightly larger than the others, about as thick as a forearm.
It was this bullet that pierced through the Fairy Wind in an instant. Looking like a high-speed rotating drill head, Xie Qingyi's smile contained a touch of sarcasm; Fang Yuan had actually combined that spinning Sand Splash with Psychic power perfectly...
The penetrative force brought on by high-speed rotation was something the Fairy Wind could not stop, but the Fairy Spirit remained calm and composed, forming a thin, faint screen in front of itself to block the attack with a Protective Move.
The pebbles rotated rapidly, the sharp drill head violently attempting to penetrate the Fairy Spirit's protective film, but in the end, the Solar Spirit's mental power, too, could not ignore the opponent's Protect Move and gradually faded...
"Phew..." Fang Yuan wiped the sweat off his brow nervously. So this doesn't work either?
...
After that, Fang Yuan and the Solar Spirit tried many different methods.
Spiral Shadow Ball, Explosive Awakening Fire, whether it was the Shadow Ball or the Awakening Fire, under the more potent mental power of the Solar Spirit, their form became more stable, but still, they only made the Fairy Spirit expend an equal amount of energy and failed to seriously injure it.
Fang Yuan was fighting more and more desperately.
"Not fighting anymore?" Seeing that Fang Yuan and the Solar Spirit did not move on to the next attack, Xie Qingyi asked.
"I'm out of trump cards already. If we continue like this, even if the Solar Spirit's mental power is exhausted, it won't be able to cause much damage to the Fairy Spirit..." Fang Yuan said.
"Alright then." Xie Qingyi's lips curved upward. Although the Fairy Spirit ranked lower in her team, it was still not something a Trainer like Fang Yuan, who had just stepped beyond the beginner stage, could handle. It indeed counted as bullying Fang Yuan.
"Let's stop here," Xie Qingyi recalled her Fairy Spirit and looked at Fang Yuan.
Now, the biggest problem for Fang Yuan and Solar Spirit was their lack of depth!
Not in terms of resources like nutrition but in terms of high-level Moves Secret books.
Resources can be obtained easily, but inheritance is hard to come by.
This is also a hurdle most Trainers face before reaching the Professional or Master level.
For Fang Yuan, who has no inheritance, something like a high-level Moves Secret book can only be discovered through his own exploration.
Of course, there are other methods, such as joining a dojo as an apprentice and finding a master, which might yield a decent inheritance.
However, Xie Qingyi herself belonged to the kind of Trainer who had created her own style along the way, and what she now saw in Fang Yuan was a reflection of her own novice days. Although she wouldn't interfere too much with Fang Yuan's growth, Xie Qingyi was very curious to see what path he would choose in the next four most important years.
Would he become an apprentice,
or carve out his own path,
or perhaps draw on the strengths of many and find his own way.
...
Xie Qingyi left.
After sending Sister Xie away, Fang Yuan took a long breath and felt a great sense of relief.
Having spoken about Eevee's situation and found a solution, he felt much lighter.
Next, he had to focus on how to develop Chimchar as well.
With further evolution, the Trio Magnet Monsters can greatly enhance their strength.
The same goes for Chimchar, but it's lacking accumulation.
Fang Yuan's short-term goal was to evolve both the Trio Magnet Monsters and Chimchar to their final forms.
Doing so would qualify him to join the Magic University Team.
Of course, Fang Yuan felt he might not even need to join the Magic University Team. Joining was mainly to enjoy the concentrated training of the school.
But if he could gain the school's attention as a Researcher, the benefits he would receive would not be any less, only more.
At least, School Sister Xie Qingyi did not join the team, nor did she participate in the National Competitions. After thoroughly researching the Fairy Type, she directly underwent the Professional Trainer assessment and then broke through the King's Tournament, becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the first Fairy Type Master.
In the eyes of such a person, the National Competition, contested among a bunch of college students, seemed like child's play.
But Fang Yuan knew that the standard of the National Competition was actually not low.
The captains from Demon Capital University and Emperor Capital University over the years almost all had Professional Trainer caliber.
The only thing lacking for those who weren't Professional Trainers might just be the number of Pokemon or passing an assessment.
If having three outstanding Pokemon is the standard for joining the Magic City University Team, then there are also conditions to participate in the Professional Trainer assessment.
That is, having trained six Pokemon; without six Pokemon in hand, one does not meet the requirements to take the Professional Trainer assessment.
Owning six Pokemon is the foundation of being a Professional Trainer. As to how to step by step obtain the qualification of owning six Pokemon, this is also a way for the Trainer Association to screen and preliminarily test Trainers.
