While waiting, Fang Yuan also quietly made his plans.
In a high-end restaurant like this that holds battling events, they probably wouldn't haggle over discounts, and since it's limited to college student activities, the trainers he'd be facing should be around this level.
To have professional trainers come for a discount battle in the restaurant is definitely impossible, unless the boss has a screw loose.
The chance of facing a seasoned trainer is also not high, as such trainers could be employed by high schools or various Trainer's Clubs. However, considering this restaurant could hire a Cultivator Chef to cook Pokemon food, Fang Yuan remained cautious.
"Let the Trio Magnet Monsters take part, just to be safe," Fang Yuan thought to himself.
If the Trio Magnet Monsters, capable of matching university team levels, weren't up to the task, then the restaurant's sincerity would be seriously lacking. Fang Yuan guessed that not many college students across the country could enjoy discounts here. After making his decision, he started to wait.
"Ah, I'm so hungry. When the server comes over, let's have them prepare the food first," Liu Le suddenly said, holding his stomach.
Fang Yuan indicated that he was fine with it.
Before long, the waiter in the tuxedo returned, apologizing, "Sorry for the wait, gentlemen. You can now proceed to the battle room."
...
The restaurant's battle room was nothing special in terms of decoration, pretty standard, but having such a room in a restaurant indirectly showed that the boss behind the scenes had broad connections and was no ordinary person.
When Fang Yuan and Liu Le, guided by the server, arrived at the battle room, Fang Yuan's opponent was already waiting on the other side of the battleground.
"She's my opponent?" Fang Yuan was a bit surprised, no... very surprised after noticing the girl. She should be about their age, right?
Liu Le was the most surprised, almost popping his eyes out. What's going on, why does Fang Yuan encounter a beautiful girl even in a battle event?
"Uh... Boss, I suddenly feel a bit guilty. It's my treat, after all, how can I let you exert yourself in battle? Let me take over," Liu Le quickly changed his mind and said to Fang Yuan.
"We're not strangers to each other, don't worry, I won't lose. If I do, I'll treat you," Fang Yuan chuckled and stepped forward first.
Liu Le was stunned. It's not that I'm afraid you'll lose, man, I just genuinely want to battle her myself!!
Du Yishan had been observing Fang Yuan and Liu Le all along, and she let out a slight sigh because the two didn't seem like very strong trainers, probably at the freshman or sophomore level, and most likely not from Imperial City University, or she would have recognized them.
Especially Fang Yuan, who gently picked up the Eevee from his shoulder and placed it beside him after stepping forward, giving Du Yishan a mixed feeling of amusement and disbelief. A guy with an Eevee... somehow seemed so weak.
"May I ask which year you're in?" Fang Yuan looked up at Du Yishan and she asked subconsciously.
"Freshman," Fang Yuan replied truthfully. With his experience as president of the psychology club, he speculated that she might go easy on him because of his answer.
Just as Fang Yuan analyzed his opponent's psychology, indeed, Du Yishan hesitated and then chose not to bring out her ace, but another main Pokemon from her Poké Ball.
"Are both participants ready?" The server took the role of referee proactively and started guiding the battle formally.
"Yes," Du Yishan responded after the server explained the rules, releasing her Pokemon first. As the challenger, Fang Yuan had the right to choose his Pokemon type second.
"Go, Venom Rose!!"
As Du Yishan sent out her Pokemon, a fragrance filled the area, the strong scent immediately relaxing Fang Yuan's mind and also making him somewhat sentimental.
The breeding is not bad... The flowers of an energetic Roselia will emit a fragrance, and the stronger the fragrance, the better its condition.
"Trio Magnet Monsters, let's battle," Fang Yuan also quickly threw his Poké Ball. After entering the field, the three eyes of the Trio Magnet Monsters immediately looked toward the opponent, with the two magnets in the lower middle extending forward, ready to launch an attack.
"Huh, Trio Magnet Monsters? So Fang Yuan is going easy as well," observed Liu Le with surprise upon seeing that Fang Yuan did not release the Solar Spirit but chose the Trio Magnet Monsters instead.
Roselia was petite, with three thorns on its head and green leaves covering its body like a dress, with a blue rose on the left hand and a red one on the right. As it slowly raised its hands, Du Yishan gave the command.
Her expression slightly solemn, she somewhat regretted not sending out her ace. As a competent Trainer, Fang Yuan could infer something from Roselia's fragrance, and she too discerned something from the temperature change after the Trio Magnet Monsters entered the battle.
The very act of floating with an electromagnetic wave caused a rise in the temperature of the field, making Roselia frown. This Trio Magnet Monsters definitely had a high degree of control over electromagnetic waves!! Moreover, Roselia was at a disadvantage due to her type!
"Grass Flute!" Du Yishan immediately made a judgment; to win, it was best to use Variable Type Techniques rather than brute force.
After Roselia raised its hands, the blue and red roses swept past its mouth, and the comfortable sound of the flute slowly spread, sweeping spirit sound waves across the entire field!
The Grass Flute could put an opponent to sleep, and Roselia's move with its wide-range sound waves was indeed remarkable, potentially playing a key role in reversing the tide in team battles!
However... as the sound waves passed, the Trio Magnet Monsters only flickered with electric light and showed no reaction whatsoever, not even a hint of sleepiness.
"Magnet Bomb!" Fang Yuan spoke, and Du Yishan's face changed. The Grass Flute was ignored? This meant... the Trio Magnet Monsters' spiritual power far exceeded Roselia's, and it was also adept at using spiritual power to reduce the effectiveness of Hypnotic Moves!
With such strength...
As Fang Yuan spoke, Du Yishan was about to command Roselia, but she saw that the Trio Magnet Monsters' Magnet Bomb was incredibly fast. Accompanied by the leaps of electromagnetic light around its body, a scorching beam instantly hit Roselia, blasting it to the edge of the field!!
Roselia crossed its hands, its awareness not bad, and by relying on its Venom Strike Moves to react in the midst of the flickering electromagnetic light, it protected its vital points and used Rooting to reduce the impact force. Even so, it was still hurt by the Trio Magnet Monsters' Magnet Bomb, which had been accelerated through the magnetic field!
The intense electric current translated into heat, charring Roselia's arms and causing it to show an expression of pain.
"How is that possible!!" Du Yishan was incredibly shocked inside and urgently shouted, "Quickly use Photosynthesis."
Seeing this, Fang Yuan was slightly surprised... it held on?
"Thunder!" Fang Yuan was certainly not going to give his opponent a chance to recover. As he issued another command, golden electricity spread across the body of the Trio Magnet Monsters, and a powerful golden pillar descended from the sky. The formidable Thunder Strike Skill struck Roselia with lightning speed!!
Since it was an Electric Move, it did not cause significant damage to the Plant system Roselia, but the strength of the Trio Magnet Monsters was ultimately far beyond Roselia's. The temperature generated by the electric current was enough to trouble Roselia, and almost instantly, the Roselia penetrated by the Thunder Strike Skill panted out a white breath in pain and collapsed overheated.
At the same moment, the waiter, who was initially stunned, quickly announced the result.
"Impressive," Liu Le was taken aback, Fang Yuan's Trio Magnet Monsters were so strong. With this intensity of electricity, probably even the seasoned members of the Battle Society would find it hard to compete.
"You…" Compared to Liu Le's exclamations, the suddenly defeated Du Yishan was a bit mentally shaken. After taking a deep breath and recalling Roselia, she gave Fang Yuan a scrutinizing look, realizing if she didn't recognize that Fang Yuan was not just an ordinary university student, she would be too dull.
"According to the event, you can dine here at a forty-nine percent discount, but can you tell me which school you are from?"
"I'm a student at Imperial City Film Academy," Fang Yuan said with a smile.
Du Yishan was taken aback, Film Academy? Could it be that he was aiming to be a star Trainer with real acting skills?
She looked carefully... and indeed, Fang Yuan certainly had the looks to qualify…
