"I'm sure."
Fang Yuan nodded.
There were many reasons why he chose Reflect.
Reflect is a Psyshock-type move, and Psyshock Power is the application of mental strength.
Just like Sand Attack, Bite, Payback, and Quick Attack are applications of Ground-type, Dark-type, emotional, and Normal-type energy, respectively.
Most Pokémon have mental strength, but only Psyshock-type Pokémon and a small number of Pokémon that can learn Psyshock-type attack moves can skillfully use mental strength to fight.
So it is very difficult for Eevee to train its mental strength.
Mental strength, that is, willpower, is a special energy released by the consciousness of life. Fang Yuan thought of many ways to train this energy well, but he didn't know how.
But now, there is an opportunity.
With the Psyshock-type Move Manual, he should be able to get some inspiration for training mental strength, right? Although Eevee can't learn moves like Psyshock and Psyshock, its Substitute move is closely related to mental strength, so Fang Yuan has to pay attention to it.
Mental strength is related to the proficiency of Eevee's Substitute move. Fang Yuan believes that the tactical significance of Substitute is much greater than Double Team.
In the case of not daring to directly let Eevee develop its brain through the Payback move, training mental strength to develop the brain is Fang Yuan's only choice.
In addition, Magnemite also needs to train its mental strength the most.
Its Awakening Power is Psyshock-type. After its mental strength becomes stronger, its grasp of Awakening Power will definitely increase. Therefore, Fang Yuan may be able to use the Reflect Move Manual on two Pokémon!
...
Seeing Fang Yuan make a decision, Zhuang Xin wanted to say something more, but finally gave up.
She was more worried that Eevee would not have enough energy to learn both Shadow Ball and Reflect at the same time.
If Eevee can skillfully master the Ghost-type Shadow Ball, coupled with its current basic qualities, its strength will definitely be in the first tier in the upcoming Provincial High School Pokémon Battle League.
However, now Eevee has to devote energy to learning Reflect, which is no less difficult to master than Shadow Ball. Zhuang Xin is afraid that Eevee will not have enough energy, so that neither side will benefit.
"Since you've already decided, let's do it this way."
"Trainers should trust their first instincts."
At this time, Yang Han walked over and said to Fang Yuan.
"Um..." Fang Yuan didn't explain why he chose the two most difficult moves to learn. He couldn't say that Eevee's basic qualities, because of the Payback training method, hardly require time to train!
For Eevee, the energy invested in the most time-consuming basic training can be completely invested in studying moves, so that both... sides can advance side by side.
"By the way, you can read the teaching method of Shadow Ball first."
After Yang Han came over, he smiled and took out a notebook and handed it to Fang Yuan.
"Shadow Ball was exchanged by me from a Professional Trainer in the provincial capital, and it cost me a lot."
"The Reflect Move Manual is something left here by a senior of the Peaceful City Trainer Association in the past. Although it is not a profound Move Manual, it is also very precious because of its Psyshock-type characteristics. So, you have taken a big advantage."
Yang Han said slowly.
"Uh..."
Fang Yuan became alert.
This kind of development... how does it seem a bit like the foreplay he used when coaxing Eevee? Oh well, never mind.
Afterward, Fang Yuan opened the Move Manual for Shadow Ball, he simply glanced at it twice... and immediately felt a darkness before his eyes.
It was said to be a learning method, but more than half of it was about how to master Ghost-type energy through various resources.
The whole article was filled with two big words—whale-feeding.
Very realistically using salary to create happiness.
"The Association should provide resources for learning Shadow Ball, right..." Fang Yuan blinked and asked.
He looked at Zhuang Xin. Every time he performed well in practical training, surpassing Lin Jing and Liu Le, Zhuang Xin would give Fang Yuan rewards and subsidies.
"Hehe..." Zhuang Xin didn't answer, and looked at Yang Han.
This look made Fang Yuan understand that the reason he could get the Move Manuals for Shadow Ball and Reflect so early was mostly because of Yang Han.
"Even if you participate in the New Star Plan, it doesn't mean you can get resources without limit. The New Star Plan aims to cultivate... so only excellent newcomers who have shown good training results will be given more resources," Yang Han said.
"I can do it." Fang Yuan's expression was serious.
You can distrust me, but you can't distrust Eevee.
"What you say doesn't count, but well, there happens to be an opportunity for you to perform next," Yang Han finally revealed his fox tail.
Is that so... expected...
Fang Yuan, a master of the coaxing system, saw through it but didn't say it, instead asking, "What opportunity?"
"A few days ago in the provincial capital, I met an old friend, he is also a Professional Trainer, from the Wutong Tree City Trainer Association. After reminiscing... we decided on something."
"Seeing that the Provincial High School Pokémon Battle League is coming soon, in order to let the participating students from both cities warm up in advance and test their own strength, we two decided... everyone will have a friendly exchange, mainly a friendly exchange," Yang Han said with a smile.
He emphasized "friendly."
Old friend? More like old rival.
Fang Yuan could tell something was wrong just from Yang Han's tone. The tone of comparison was very strong. This didn't seem like the usual Yang Han, he was very childish...
He glanced at Zhuang Xin, only to see Zhuang Xin with an indifferent attitude.
In fact, Fang Yuan had already guessed the truth... this was not a friendly exchange at all, but a battle of wills between two old rivals.
"I understand." Fang Yuan's words had a double meaning. Trainers... it's normal to have a few rivals who are also friends when they are young.
Don't you see Ash with a bunch of rival harems... like Shigeru and Shinji.
"The number of people for the exchange is to be determined, but it will not exceed ten people. They will be selected from your School Team. The exchange time will be after your school starts. In addition to me, there will also be teachers from the school accompanying you," Yang Han said.
"This exchange is very important. There will inevitably be battles during the process. Do you have confidence?"
"Wutong Tree City is richer than Peaceful City, and has more geniuses than Peaceful City. There are three key high schools there. The one we are going to this time is Wutong Tree City First High School, which has the strongest teaching power."
Wutong Tree City First High School... judging from the name, its prestige isn't much higher than Peaceful City First High School.
Fang Yuan was slightly stunned, and said, "If I defeat them, can I get the resources for Shadow Ball and Reflect..."
Fang Yuan's words fell, and Yang Han and Zhuang Xin were immediately stunned. This kid…
What he said was right, but was it really okay for him to be so blunt?
