Fang Yuan was naturally confident.
Even Liu Le's Snorlax and Lin Jing's Growlithe, Eevee was now confident in quickly dealing with.
The others were even less of a problem.
Only a month had passed since the Little Phoenix King Cup, and Eevee's strength still had a natural advantage.
Faced with Fang Yuan's confidence, the four teammates were speechless.
Okay... you're amazing, we'll listen to you.
And so, Fang Yuan's team chose to heed Fang Yuan's advice.
Adopting the simplest and most violent tactic, through cover, burst, and then direct suppression!
While exchanging information, Fang Yuan's mind surged.
"Eevee's leg strength has been through three overload trainings, its explosive power is at least twice as strong, its speed is much faster than during the Little Phoenix King Cup, and its Double Team has therefore increased to eight afterimages. As long as we seize the opportunity tomorrow, we can end the battle quickly."
"In the end, the Rookie Trainers around me are just too weak!"
Fang Yuan sighed inwardly, this kind of assessment was simply not suitable for him.
...
The next day.
To watch this team battle assessment, almost all the training course teachers came.
After the battle schedule was arranged, Fang Yuan discovered that they were actually the first to battle... Immediately afterward, he spotted their first opponent at a glance.
Zhou Xueyao's team...
Among the five members of this team, Zhou Xueyao of Class 7 was the captain. Fang Yuan remembered that her starter Pokémon was Bulbasaur.
During the Little Phoenix King Cup, Lin Sen's Bulbasaur was dealt with by Eevee, so Eevee naturally wouldn't be afraid of this Garlic Bulb Turtle.
Zhou Xueyao's teammates were even weaker, and it could be said that their overall level was not high.
"Xueyao, if they attack head-on, can we stop them?"
A petite girl in Zhou Xueyao's team asked nervously. After their investigation... Fang Yuan's strength seemed to be much stronger than theirs.
"We can't stop them, but we can struggle a bit."
Zhou Xueyao's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and a shallow worry swept across her face. Meeting Fang Yuan in the first battle was really unlucky.
At the same time, Lin Jing and Liu Le were relatively fortunate that they didn't meet Fang Yuan in the first match, which was simply lucky. They hoped they wouldn't meet him in the second match either.
Inside the Battle Arena, on the newly drawn decagonal battlefield, under the direction of a teacher, Fang Yuan's team and Zhou Xueyao's team entered.
Because it was just a school, there were only ordinary battlefields here. Special battlefields like Grass battlefields, Rock battlefields, and Water battlefields were only available in large-scale events.
However, for Rookie Trainers at this stage, ordinary battlefields were enough for them to perform.
The decagonal battlefield was much larger than the one-on-one battlefield, with a very wide space. After the ten Trainers each stood in an area, Fang Yuan looked at the Trainer next to him.
Because of tactical needs, he chose a position on the edge of the team, rather than the center.
Only the two positions on the edge would allow him to quickly resolve an opponent ahead of time.
"Doduo..."
Remembering the boy's Pokémon, Fang Yuan smiled.
A Flying-type Pokémon not good at flying, huh? This time, he was even more confident.
"What are you smiling at?"
Before the battle started, seeing Fang Yuan suddenly smile at him, the boy felt a little choked up.
Being assigned to an edge position already put a lot of psychological pressure on him, and now... the pressure was even greater.
"I remembered something happy," Fang Yuan said.
"What happy thing?" the boy asked.
"My Pokémon isn't good at flying either," Fang Yuan said.
The boy frowned, a little annoyed.
...
"Generally speaking, the core Pokémon of a team are in the center. It seems that this Fang Yuan doesn't plan to take the usual route."
Outside the battlefield, a group of teachers were paying attention to the positioning of the two teams.
In most competitions, the five Trainers of a team are positioned together on one side. Only a few competitions incorporate rules that shuffle the positioning order. This assessment uses the most common positioning rule.
On Fang Yuan's team, the positioning order in the five-corner area of the decagonal battlefield was Fang Yuan, Miao Ran, Li Meng, Zhang Huanyu, and Jiang Lili.
From the positioning, Li Meng was the safest, while Fang Yuan and Jiang Lili were most likely to be involved in the battle first.
However...
The teachers saw Fang Yuan's intention at a glance.
"The strength gap is too big. That Fang Yuan wants to quickly eliminate an opponent and thus expand the advantage. He's really overbearing."
The teacher of Zhou Xueyao's class shook his head, feeling sorry for his student.
"Unfortunately, Xueyao didn't anticipate the opponent's arrangement... but even if she had, she wouldn't have been able to deal with it well due to the lack of Pokémon choices."
"Let's mainly observe each student's teamwork. At this stage, we don't need to ask for too much," another teacher said.
At the same time, Teacher Bai Ning of Class 12 also looked at Fang Yuan, thoughtfully.
Just then, the Referee issued the first command.
Almost the instant the Referee gave the order, both teams released their Pokémon simultaneously. With the second command, the Eevee, without waiting for Fang Yuan's command, burst out with its fastest speed, rushing towards the Doduo closest to it. Fang Yuan and Eevee had obviously discussed this in advance.
Eevee's movement attracted the attention of Zhou Xueyao's team. Watching Eevee's rapidly moving figure, everyone's pupils shrank, realizing something was wrong.
The Pokémon of Zhou Xueyao's team wanted to provide support,
However, Fang Yuan's team preemptively used ranged moves to seal off the area.
Two Water Guns, one Thunder Shock, and one Vine Whip swept across, separating the battlefield and forcing the other four Pokémon to respond by dodging or counterattacking.
"Not bad accuracy." Fang Yuan praised as he saw his four teammates successfully block the positions.
At this moment, Eevee, transformed into a blur, had instantly arrived next to Doduo!
Whoosh! Doduo also used Quick Attack, but compared to Eevee's speed, it was like heaven and earth. Before long, Doduo was caught off guard by Eevee and taken down in one hit.
With Doduo defeated, the defeat of Zhou Xueyao's team was a foregone conclusion. Although the other eight Pokémon were evenly matched, with Eevee's entry, the situation quickly became one-sided.
"This Eevee's speed... how is it so much faster than when school started!" Teacher Bai Ning was surprised throughout.
As Fang Yuan's teacher, she should have been very clear about Fang Yuan's growth, but now Eevee's performance was really beyond her expectations.
"The leg strength is stronger, the improvement is almost explosive, did the New Star Plan do some kind of special training?" she guessed.
...
Before long, after the two teams were divided into victory and defeat, Bai Ning came to Director Wu's side.
"Director Wu, how was it?"
"The suggestion you made before... don't let this Fang Yuan participate in the team training in the future. After the official members are selected, let him join in the break-in period. Otherwise, it will be a waste of time for him and others." Wu Pingqiu shook his head.
"I hope his personal strength advantage can be maintained, so that when he really participates in the competition, there will be more tactics to choose from," Director Wu said.
"Maybe this is genius," Teacher Bai Ning nodded.
