"Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, it's up to you," Fang Yuan said.
As the Poké Ball flew and a red light flashed, the UFO-like figure of the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster appeared on the battlefield. Its red pupils fixed on the Mane Rock Werewolf; the gaze of both collided, sparking the flames of battle between them.
Self-detonating Magnetic Monster?
Fang Yuan's choice caught most people by surprise.
"That's right, the extended leave Fang Yuan took at the start of school must have been to evolve the Trio Magnet Monsters," Tang Sheng realized as he saw Fang Yuan's decision to send out the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster. At first, he was perplexed, and then suddenly understood.
It seemed that the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster had caught up in strength and earned Fang Yuan's recognition.
Fang Yuan actually cared quite a bit about the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster and looked forward to its growth. The resources he invested in it were no less than he had invested in Eevee.
If you don't count the Life Orb from which he hadn't gained any tangible benefits yet, Fang Yuan had not really invested much in Eevee. Eevee's achievements today were largely due to coincidences, almost as if it had cheated; sometimes Fang Yuan even wondered if Eevee had stolen his protagonist's halo.
In summary, the breeding house that sold him the Eevee Pokémon Egg suffered a huge loss...
But the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster was different; it was a true warrior forged with gold.
Just evolving from Little Magnetic Monster to Trio Magnet Monsters had cost millions of yuan. Apart from that, the First Class Mountain Association's gift, a Special Magnet worth millions, was now fully absorbed by the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster. Its iron hide was almost shining with gold.
However, the rewards were spectacular. Now its strength was on par with Sun Eevee. Although it lacked a deeper foundation, its overall quality was not inferior. This was the power of spending lavishly.
Perhaps others could nurture a Pokémon of equivalent strength with several times fewer resources, but the time they would need to invest would definitely be longer than Fang Yuan's—perhaps five years, or ten. Fang Yuan hadn't even been cultivating the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster for two years in total.
The investment of resources was reflected not only in strength but also in time.
...
"Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, huh..." Zhuang Rui's eyes were uncertain as he said, "Then let's begin!"
The Mane Rock Werewolf and Self-detonating Magnetic Monster were both ready, the Trainers had no issues, and an instructor acting as the Referee gave the command. The battle immediately unfolded!
With one command,
The floating height of the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster gradually rose, and the Mane Rock Werewolf looked up directly, using a technique Fang Yuan was quite familiar with—Pretentiousness!
Zhuang Rui's Mane Rock Werewolf specialized in infuriating its opponent, shortening the distance between them, and luring the enemy into attacking. Then, it would strike back with a Return Fist, aiming for a fatal blow.
The stronger the opponent, the fiercer the fighting spirit; to win, it wouldn't mind getting hurt.
Facing the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, it started with infuriation, but...
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster serenely continued to ascend, completely ignoring the other's provocation. The strength of its spiritual power was one reason, but in addition, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster was surrounded by electric arcs, controlling its Emotions. Its grasp on its own emotions was not inferior to the Mane Rock Werewolf.
Even Zhuang Rui, who had been through countless battles, did not anticipate this outcome.
Was this Self-detonating Magnetic Monster not one to get angry? A coward?
"Instructor Zhuang, this is our self-developed Electrotherapy Skill. It can effectively heal emotional trauma. So Pretentiousness won't work..." Fang Yuan's voice drifted over slowly, catching Zhuang Rui off guard.
As Fang Yuan explained, Zhuang Rui listened carefully; several seconds passed this way, and when Zhuang Rui came to his senses, he cursed Fang Yuan for his slickness.
As long as the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster flew high enough, it could drag out for one minute...
"Thunderbolt!"
"Rock Climbing!!"
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, floating high above, was enveloped by golden electricity that concentrated on its two magnet-like parts. It then unleashed a massive arc of lightning, and Thunderbolt rapidly rolled over the field, heading straight for the Mane Rock Werewolf.
However, as the Mane Rock Werewolf dug its hands into the Ground, the field trembled instantly. Several-meter-high special Rock walls were pulled straight from the ground, withstanding the mighty Thunderbolt.
Then, the Mane Rock Werewolf climbed the special steps and agilely closed in on the Self-detoxing Magnetic Monster, quickly reaching a similar altitude.
"Truly a Master Level Trainer!"
The nearby instructors exclaimed in surprise. To create a Rock Climbing Combination Skill using Earth Power to become immune to Thunderbolt was a stunning coordination between Zhuang Rui and the Mane Rock Werewolf, a technique not easily replicated by ordinary Trainers.
And it undoubtedly contained a special training method.
"Fang Yuan is indeed impressive..." Tang Sheng, on the other hand, was surprised by Fang Yuan. Initially asking his friend to teach Fang Yuan's Pokémon Sunny Day, and now... Fang Yuan had somehow learned Rain Dance?
Are you going to pursue Sunny Day or Rain Dance?
Boom!
As Tang Sheng watched, Fang Yuan struck back. The energy that had been building up during the Thunderbolt slowly rose; dark clouds quickly gathered above the Mane Rock Werewolf, who had just climbed up. Amid the dark clouds, golden electric arcs flashed continuously, carrying immense might. Illuminated by the light, the figure of the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster seemed like a deity controlling Thunder and Lightning...
Drip.
The first raindrop fell beside the Rock where the Mane Rock Werewolf stood. The Werewolf, climbing high, realized something was wrong.
