"Are you kidding me..."
"Perhaps Master Ni Feng is testing with a probing attack?"
"Hmm, certainly, it must be that."
On the Ocean Battlefield, one is an Eevee, seen as a pet, and the other is a Gyarados, hailed as the overlord of the seas.
After Gyarados used Water Gun, the expected course of events should have been Eevee immediately swallowed by the giant wave... then weakly, pitifully, helplessly scooped up.
However, the result was an Eevee standing leisurely on the sea surface, easily tearing through the Water Gun with Confusion... causing the water flow to scatter in all directions like flower petals dropped by heavenly maidens.
Faced with this scene, the trainers spectating couldn't think of any other explanation other than that Master Ni Feng hadn't given it her all.
An Eevee, can it really have the ability to contend with a master level trainer's main Pokémon?
Keep in mind that not even in the Little Phoenix King Cup or the Su province rookie contests, which are competitions for newcomers, was anyone optimistic about Fang Yuan winning the championship with an Eevee. As for now, in master level battles, even fewer people would place their bets on an Eevee.
In fact, that is the case. Even after Fang Yuan published his paper on the Dangerous Premonition ability, the trainers who can develop such a strong Eevee are still a minority, and no one is willing to train one. If they have the effort, isn't evolving more fragrant?
The inherent impression is hard to change: Eevee before evolution is not suitable for battles, but merely as a pet, that's the view of most people.
Eevee wants to grow stronger... Evolution is the only way.
When it comes to tapping into Emotional Energy and enhancing the life level in the form of Eevee to become a partner Eevee, Fang Yuan might be the only trainer in the world with such a creative idea, even among the top trainers.
"What an eye-opener..." Master Ni Feng murmured to herself. As the trainer of Gyarados, she knew full well that her Gyarados hadn't been holding back. This is precisely why she was the most shocked of all.
This Eevee... at least with that last strike, its move's power was definitely above that of Gyarados's Water Gun!
"Roar!!!!"
Gyarados opened its wide mouth, spattering water from within, and a terrifying expression swept across its face as fierce eyes bore down oppressively toward Eevee.
Master Ni Feng waved a hand, issuing commands, with the doubts in her heart still unresolved. Can an Eevee truly be trained to have such strength?
"Roar!!!!"
During the roaring, Gyarados combined the expertly mastered Ghost Face and Glare moves, and with the surge in emotions, its Ability Power was fully activated!
Boom!
The materialized aura was intimidating, causing the sea itself to churn. At this moment, the aura of Gyarados was so intense that even the trainers outside the arena could feel it clearly... as if facing an Asura.
"Baby-Doll Eyes," Fang Yuan stated calmly, and upon his command, Eevee faced the terrifying aura unflinchingly, its eyes reflecting an unusual light. With a step of its forelimb, it began a gaze that seemed to mesmerize the heart, confronting Gyarados head-on.
Both using Variable Type Techniques to confront each other, Eevee faced Gyarados's aura head on. With a "boom" as if space itself collided, the entire Water Arena was enveloped in the massive auric fields of both sides.
The evenly matched clash of aura and tangible changes to the field made the trainers who had just judged that Eevee could not possibly be that strong slap themselves in the face.
To create such an influence with Variable Type Techniques... both Pokémon are definitely stepping into the domain of masters!
"Baby-Doll Eyes..." Seeing the use of Baby-Doll Eyes by Eevee, Master Yun Miao, the Sect Leader of the Qinglong Dojo, narrowed his eyes, finding it slightly familiar.
To think that an Eevee's aura could actually match that of Gyarados... it was simply inconceivable!" Master Zhang Yuhai said heavily, "Now, both sides are trying to suppress each other with their auras. Whoever falls into the disadvantage will end up in a bad position."
"Indeed..." Master Yun Miao nodded his head. Compared to Eevee's use of Baby-Doll Eyes, he was more familiar with the technique being used by Ni Feng's Gyarados at the moment.
Emphasizing the training of Gyarados's aura, suppressing the opponent with Ghost Face and Glare moves to build momentum, as long as the opponent's aura is suppressed, Gyarados's confidence will naturally be enhanced. The surge in emotions will also drive an overall ability increase for Gyarados, which is a more advanced application of the Ability Power based on excessive confidence.
Hearing the conversation between Masters Zhang Yuhai and Yun Miao, the surrounding trainers' worldviews were nearly shattered.
An Eevee can actually reach such levels...
"Roar!!!!"
After a moment of standoff, a tinge of crimson flashed across Gyarados's eyes.
"Bwoo!!"
Eevee refused to back down, and its small body burst forth with tremendous aura, causing a slight change in Master Ni Feng's expression.
"Crack," sounded as if the space itself shattered, with Gyarados and the seas beneath Eevee's feet instantly churning away from them as the epicenter.
During this moment, Gyarados's spirit seemed to have taken a heavy blow, causing its body to suddenly stiffen.
The aura of determination that Gyarados had gathered was directly crushed in the blink of an eye during the clash; Eevee's Baby-Doll Eyes had successfully hit Gyarados.
"Not good!!" Master Ni Feng was taken aback... noticing something wrong with Gyarados.
The Round Eyed Method wasn't simple; Eevee was also using combination skills.
The crimson in Gyarados's eyes represented a deeper layer of technique behind the Baby-Doll Eyes.
"Fury… Chaos…" The observing Trainers also noticed Gyarados's current state, showing signs of going berserk.
"I remember now, this usage of Baby-Doll Eyes, it was Xie Qingyi... but this Eevee is obviously executing it even better..." Master Yun Miao said slowly.
Eevee's Baby-Doll Eyes were a medium for the Illusion Technique. During the skirmish, Eevee used Illusion Techniques with Pretentious moves at its core, inciting Gyarados's emotions of rage, sending it into chaos.
In the clash of auras, within a moment of confrontation, Eevee shattered the unwavering belief Gyarados had mustered... Many Professional Trainers were already rubbing their eyes hard.
Master Ni Feng's Gyarados... had actually fallen into a disadvantage.
Exactly who was this Eevee?
Could it be that a Master is going to be defeated by a college student wielding an Eevee?
"It's not over yet... Gyarados has iron-hard scales, able to ignore most damage. On the other hand, although Eevee possesses strong spiritual power, its physical strength is a disadvantage, which is a restriction of its species. After the two engage... the situation will flip once again!"
Most Trainers who have battled Gyarados understand how formidable its physical strength is, with teeth hard enough to crush rocks and scales tough as steel. With such a huge species disparity, how can Eevee, with its delicate flesh and blood, compete?
Moreover, although Master Ni Feng seemed to be at a disadvantage, many noticed that he remained calm.
On the field, Master Ni Feng narrowed his eyes and quickly ordered: "Gyarados, take this opportunity to use Outrage and wreak havoc..."
"ROAR!!!" At the command, Gyarados subconsciously responded.
Reversing the fury that Eevee had stirred, thereupon strengthening itself!
The rough-natured, destructive Gyarados entered the Neck Scale State; the more furious it became, the more it could suppress chaos, then unleash incredible destructive power. In the space of one command, Master Ni Feng turned the tide from a disadvantage to an advantage, shifting from passive to proactive.
Seeing Master Ni Feng's judgment, many people held their breath. An Outraged Gyarados was most certainly a fearsome God of Destruction, capable of ignoring pain, with greatly enhanced strength. Once it went berserk, it wouldn't calm its violent energy until it had defeated Eevee or exhausted all its physical strength. During this time, surpassing limits was also possible... definitely not an easy opponent to deal with.
"Overly clever, only to be outsmarted!" Seeing the situation reverse with just one command from the Trainer, Yun Guancheng, who was worried for Fang Yuan, spoke regretfully.
As expected... battling a Master with an Eevee was too difficult. Facing the Outrage Gyarados, the species gap between the two Pokemon would be completely exposed.
"As I would have guessed... This way, we should be able to see the full power of the Electric Partner Technique, right?"
However, at the same time, Fang Yuan wasn't overly concerned.
Outrage Gyarados was indeed terrifying, highly aggressive, and capable of ignoring pain, but it was also at its weakest in reaction consciousness and least capable of defense.
Even a Pokemon retaining clarity of consciousness in the Outrage state would be somewhat affected in reaction speed.
In such a state, the Pokemon has essentially become disconnected from its Trainer, essentially a live target.
As Gyarados entered the Outrage state, Eevee just "swished," extending a paw into the water...
Even for Trainers with extensive experience in battling within the Water Arena, they couldn't predict Eevee's next action at this moment, nor could they discern Fang Yuan's tactical intentions.
Fang Yuan's idea was simple... use the Outraged Gyarados as a test subject for the Electric Partner Technique.
Zap!!
Almost instantly, beneath Eevee's paw pad, a ball of electricity appeared. As the electric ball dispersed, it seemed as if golden electric serpents emerged, flowing into the water, ferociously making their way toward Gyarados. In mere moments, the golden electricity transformed into a terrifying electric net, turning the seas around Gyarados into a sea of thunder!!
BOOM!!!!
The sea of thunder roared, and electric arcs surged, swiftly engulfing Gyarados from every direction. The previously enraged Gyarados was instantly swept up by the intensively paralyzing current, feeling so much pain as if it had lost control over its body!!
