After having the idea, Fang Yuan immediately had Eevee start executing it.
"You first gather energy, but don't attack."
"Eevee…"
Eevee pondered for a moment, then returned to its pre-attack state.
Energy flowed through its entire body, making it feel warm and full of power, which was exactly the feeling of its potential being tapped.
In this state, Eevee's body strength limit had greatly increased.
"Eevee…"
After maintaining this state for eight or nine seconds, Eevee began to tremble, its expression becoming strained.
It felt like its body was about to give out. Although using emotional energy to tap into its body's potential could instantly grant it a burst of power, it also placed a significant burden on its body.
"Attack!"
Seeing this, Fang Yuan quickly said. Eevee finally breathed a sigh of relief and released the energy in one go, subconsciously crashing into the rubber wall.
...
When Eevee slowly walked back, Fang Yuan hesitated and asked, "Just now, after I said 'attack,' did you feel like you were using the 'Tackle' move?"
"Eevee." Eevee recalled and nodded.
During that time, it not only couldn't sense other energies, but it was also difficult to control its own body. It subconsciously released the energy in the form of a Tackle.
The activation of its body's potential brought a sudden surge of power, so it was normal that Eevee couldn't control it well.
However, the power of Payback was indeed strong, and it could currently be considered Eevee's strongest move.
In terms of destructive power alone, Quick Attack and Bite were inferior.
"Is there a way to make emotional energy mainly act on specific parts of the body?"
"For example, the limbs, or the tail?"
Fang Yuan asked tentatively.
Eevee shook its head, not knowing, but it could try.
It once again fell into the previous state…
The Soothing Bell shook, and Eevee's expression became more and more solemn.
"Eevee!!" It glanced at the pebble at its feet, vigorously flicked its body, and whipped its tail at the target. The next moment, the pebble flew out and hit the rubber wall.
The force… probably wasn't even as strong as Fang Yuan's throwing force.
However, this experiment by little Eevee was enough to illustrate some issues.
Through conscious control, the attack form of the Payback move could be changed!
In less than a week of training, Eevee's tail could definitely not have such power as it did now.
This was naturally not Iron Tail, but Payback.
However, compared to using its tail to perform Payback, it was easier and more powerful for Eevee to use Tackle to perform Payback!
Just like Lopunny, their ears have always been their weapons. There's absolutely no problem using their ears as a medium to perform the Payback move.
But, wanting Eevee to use its ears to perform Payback is simply wishful thinking.
"Without a doubt, emotional energy can also unlock the potential of other body parts, allowing that part to instantly gain strength and power beyond the ordinary."
Fang Yuan smiled.
Half of his speculation had already succeeded.
At the same time.
After recovering, Eevee shook its tail. Just now, it indeed felt that its tail was full of power.
"Next, let's switch to the limbs..." Fang Yuan said.
Eevee nodded, trying its best to use emotional energy to unlock the potential of its limbs and then attack, according to the feeling just now.
However, the attack with the speed of Quick Attack that they imagined did not appear.
Instead, Eevee jumped up in a panic...
It was like a charged high jump... Eevee's eyes met Fang Yuan's in the air.
Fang Yuan: "..."
Eevee: "..."
Immediately afterward, due to not being fully prepared, Eevee lost its balance in the air and fell to the ground.
"Eevee..."
After painfully getting up, Eevee glanced at Fang Yuan with resentment. This was completely different from what was expected.
"I didn't ask you to use Splash, don't exert force upwards!"
"After your legs have power, you have to push off the ground backward like Quick Attack. Because the action of force is mutual, when you push off the ground backward, the ground will also give you an explosive force to move forward." Fang Yuan said helplessly.
He understood that this was because Eevee couldn't control this power well yet.
There was no need to rush this.
Judging from the tail strike just now, as long as Eevee adapts, it can completely control the power proficiently. At that time, Eevee's Payback move will not be so simple.
If Eevee's Frustration move was equivalent to Tackle at the beginning.
Then, Eevee's Payback move is now equivalent to Take Down.
When it adapts to using emotional energy to simultaneously unlock the potential of its legs, the Payback move can be upgraded to a move "with the speed of Quick Attack and the power of Take Down".
Combining speed and power will make Payback Eevee's next trump card.
"Eevee..." Eevee cried out twice with a sad face.
It already felt that its tail and legs were starting to ache. Those two times just now seemed to have overloaded it...
Especially the tail, it's super painful!
"It's starting to hurt? I'll take you to the Pokémon Center right away."
Fang Yuan didn't say anything else and took Eevee to the Pokémon Center.
Finally, as the examination results came out, Fang Yuan's speculation was completely confirmed.
The Payback move, which breaks through the original form restrictions, has a very good training effect on the corresponding body parts!
Eevee was fine; this was just a manifestation of long-term training. The examination results told Fang Yuan that Eevee urgently needed to replenish a lot of nutrition.
"Just like I imagined, Eevee's training of its tail is not as strong as other parts of its body, so its adaptability will be slightly weaker. Because it instantly tapped into its potential, it caused Eevee to experience an effect similar to overtraining."
Overtraining is very common in athletes. After they have basically adapted to a certain load stimulus, they must increase the load appropriately and moderately to exceed the original load so that their athletic ability can continue to grow.
The current Eevee is in a state of overtraining. After replenishing enough nutrition and resting appropriately, its pain will recover. Then, whether it is the strength of its legs or the strength of its tail, Eevee will be able to increase it significantly.
This is the benefit of tapping into the body's potential by breaking through the original form restrictions.
It saves several hours of effort compared to Eevee training directly, and the efficiency is extremely high!
However, the cost is also very high. Although Pokémon have much stronger adaptability than humans, if they don't replenish a lot of nutrition in time, it will definitely leave hidden injuries.
The improvement in training efficiency also means that Fang Yuan needs to invest more resources.
"Let's take this as a good thing for now..."
"In this way, as long as I use the Payback move appropriately, Eevee will soon be able to master Iron Tail."
"After the strength of its legs increases, its speed will also be faster!"
