After returning home, Fang Yuan immediately busied himself with the Yunnan Bai... Pui, medicinal cream for learning Iron Tail that Yang Han had given him.
"This packaging, if you didn't tell me its use beforehand, I would really think it was Yunnan Baiyao," Fang Yuan said, stroking his chin.
However, the method of using this medicinal cream was very special. After diluting it with water, it was sprayed on the tail, then smeared evenly and kneaded, giving Fang Yuan the illusion that he was marinating a Slowpoke tail.
Late at night, Fang Yuan not only had to give Eevee a massage, but also apply medicine to it. With a clear conscience, he felt that he could be nominated for the annual "Top Ten Touching Flower Country Trainers."
"Pfft... the metallic taste is so strong!"
...
Saturday, Nanwu Town, Back Mountain.
"Listen up, your task today is to go to this place and collect some Poison left behind by Beedrill!"
The second field combat training this weekend proceeded as usual. Fang Yuan, Lin Jing, and Liu Le were once again brought to Nanwu Town Back Mountain by Zhuang Xin, and were currently receiving their mission.
As Zhuang Xin slowly stated the goal of this mission, even Fang Yuan revealed a bitter face.
"This is a habitat for a Beedrill swarm. There are about twenty or so Beedrill. What you need to do is to take the Poison from the trees they inhabit."
"In order to train their twin needles, Beedrill often sharpen their needles on trees. Over time, many grooves will appear on the trees they inhabit. In these grooves, their Poison mixes with tree sap to form a new Poison."
"This Poison is one of the main ingredients of a certain antidote. In addition to specialized beekeepers, pharmaceutical factories often hire Trainers to collect this Poison from Beedrill habitats in the wild. Overall, it is considered a relatively common and simple task."
Simple...
Fang Yuan felt that it was not simple at all. The simplicity in Zhuang Xin's mouth should be judged by the strength of Professional Trainers, or those who, although not Professional Trainers, make a living as Trainers.
Letting the three of them, newbies, challenge Beedrill, one of the eternal villains, only a devil could come up with such a training mission.
"This time... can we burn it..." Lin Jing asked quietly.
She was still thinking about the last time she started a fire on the mountain. She felt very aggrieved that Growlithe was not allowed to set fires in the wild.
This time, with the cooperation of two teammates, even if a fire really started, they could put it out. They should be able to fight to their heart's content.
Zhuang Xin said unhappily, "This time, I won't interfere with your methods. Everything is based on your own safety, but don't cause any big trouble."
After explaining the precautions, Forest Ranger Captain Wang Dahu once again brought two Forest Rangers to follow and protect Fang Yuan and the others.
Although Zhuang Xin was training the three as Professional Trainers, even she, in the early stages, did not dare to be so careless as to throw them into the deep mountains and ignore them.
After all, if any of the three were injured or killed during training, it would be difficult for her to explain to their parents. Everything had to be done step by step.
"They're gone again. This time, do you want them to suffer a collective setback? Twenty or so Beedrill, they can't handle it with just the three of them."
After the group set off, Forest Ranger Captain Wang Dahu came to Zhuang Xin's side.
Zhuang Xin nodded and said:
"Yes, they are too popular in school. The best Growth combines both smooth sailing and adversity. My training is to make them understand that they are far from good enough. Especially Fang Yuan, this time I also want Fang Yuan to experience the feeling of frustration. Occasional failures are actually beneficial to him."
...
Shasha shasha~~ Shasha shasha~~ Wading through the grass, Fang Yuan said to Lin and Liu, who were following behind him, "The Beedrill habitat on the map is very far from us. According to the progress of the last mountain climb, it will take 3 hours to reach."
"And there are still 9 hours until dark, which means we have plenty of time to get there. As long as we complete the task before dark, that's fine. What we need to do now is to conserve our strength and move forward in a planned way."
"Good to talk, but Sister Zhuang is not generous. I applied for compressed biscuits, but she didn't even give me one. How about... sharing some of your food with Snorlax later?" Liu Le rubbed his hands and said.
"Don't even think about it."
"Don't even think about it."
Fang Yuan and Lin Jing refused righteously at the same time.
"Uh..." Liu Le was stunned. Could it be... he had to sacrifice himself again to feed Snorlax? Along the way, thanks to Fang Yuan (Eevee) leading the way, the three of them encountered almost no danger.
While Fang Yuan was reaping the admiration of Lin Jing and Liu Le, he was also thinking about how to take the Beedrill's Poison.
"With twenty or so Beedrill, even if the three of us work together, it will be difficult to deal with them head-on," Fang Yuan said.
Lin Jing and Liu Le did not refute. Although the Beedrill inhabiting this kind of place couldn't be too strong, they couldn't withstand the large number.
Even if Eevee, Growlithe, and Snorlax could fight against many opponents, what about the three Trainers? Who would protect them?
Just obediently lie down and wait for the remaining Beedrill to favor them? "So, we can only use tactics!" Although Fang Yuan also hoped that Eevee could defeat all the Beedrill, it was simply unrealistic.
"What Boss said is right... Why don't we let Growlithe set a fire under the Tree and smoke the Beedrill away?" Liu Le said, "That way, we can safely take the Poison."
Fang Yuan and Lin Jing were silent. What kind of unconventional brain circuit was this?
"Although I do have plans to let Growlithe use Fire-type moves to fight... but, directly burning down their residence is too immoral, right?" Lin Jing said.
"How should I put it, it's like you stole someone's things and burned down their house..."
Liu Le scratched his head.
"But the general idea can be determined," Fang Yuan said, "If we want to avoid a direct battle, we need to find a way to lure the Beedrill away."
"One person attracts the Beedrill, and the other two collect the Poison?" Liu Le asked doubtfully.
"Then who will attract the Beedrill... Even if we run, we can't outrun the Beedrill, they can fly."
The three of them suddenly stopped.
Lin Jing glanced at her Growlithe and shook her head. This silly dog was definitely difficult to complete the task.
Liu Le also glanced at his Snorlax and shook his head. It was hard to imagine that Snorlax could survive.
On the other side...
Eevee: "???"
Looking at Fang Yuan's gaze, Eevee took a step back.
"Eevee!!" Eevee strongly protested, even it didn't want to face so many Beedrill.
"Don't worry, of course I won't let you go. No matter how powerful you are, it's unlikely that you can succeed... It's too difficult." Fang Yuan also shook his head. He was telling the truth, he had no intention of pushing Eevee into the fire pit.
However, the more Fang Yuan told the truth, the less Eevee wanted to hear it.
Its brow furrowed, what did this mean, looking down on it? "Eevee?!" After thinking for a while, Eevee stopped and decided to try out the latest training results...
It stood in front of the three people and the other two Pokémon, and in their surprised gazes, it created a Double Team.
Double Team?
No... Looking at this vivid expression and movement, it should be Substitute.
After four times of overloaded training, Eevee, supplemented with a large amount of nutrition, has undergone a qualitative leap in its physical fitness.
This change has also greatly increased its physical strength, allowing Eevee to have new insights into the practice of Double Team and the learning of Substitute.
With its current physical strength, it seems to have the extra strength and energy to create some more advanced Double Team or Substitute.
Fang Yuan widened his eyes and said, "When did this happen?"
"Eevee!" Eevee thought for a while, it seemed to be this morning... but it hadn't had time to try it yet.
After being provoked by Fang Yuan, Eevee suddenly realized that since it was not suitable to lure away the Beedrill, it could let the Substitute go.
...
Man proposes, God disposes. Zhuang Xin, who was preparing to watch Fang Yuan suffer, would never have thought that Eevee, who had been learning for a month and a half in order to play games simultaneously, had successfully comprehended Substitute.
