Although he was told that he might become the School Team Captain.
However, for Fang Yuan now, school life hasn't changed much.
Because the School Team hasn't officially started intensive training yet, and even the official members haven't been selected, his so-called captain position, even if approved, is currently just a nominal title.
During training class, when Fang Yuan told Lin Jing this news, Lin Jing said:
"I heard that the School Team will start the Selection next week."
Today, the training classes in each class returned to normal, still focusing on basic training.
"A total of twenty-five people, and they will be eliminated until only seven remain."
While Growlithe and Eevee were training aside, the two Trainers chatted while doing physical training.
"Next week is next week, is there any news about the other two candidates for the New Star Plan?" Fang Yuan was more concerned about this.
"Not yet." Lin Jing shook her head.
"I see… By the way, has your Growlithe made any progress in terms of moves recently?"
As Fang Yuan's next teammate, Fang Yuan still cares about the Growth of her Growlithe. If his teammates are stronger, then Peaceful City First High School School Team will have a greater chance of winning the Provincial High School League!
The better the competition results, the more Bonus he can get.
"Hee, besides Flame Wheel, Growlithe has also learned Fire Fang." Lin Jing's mouth rose, and she said, "Moreover, the learning of Flame Burst is also coming to an end. Within a week, Growlithe should be able to Grasp Flame Burst."
Lin Jing is quite satisfied with Growlithe's speed of progress.
Now Fang Yuan is her goal to catch up with. Since taking Fang Yuan as her goal, Lin Jing has been very attentive in training.
"So fast?!" Fang Yuan was shocked.
But after thinking about it, it's also normal.
He and Eevee learn new moves completely on their own, while Lin Jing has a Professional Trainer who can ask for advice at any time. The other party's advantage is too great.
"Of course."
Seeing Fang Yuan's surprise, Lin Jing was even happier. Next, Growlithe can also learn Agility, Flamethrower, Crunch, Heat Wave, and even Flare Blitz and other moves. A complete training route has been clearly planned. After all the moves are learned, Growlithe's strength will surpass Eevee without any problem.
And these training methods are naturally passed down from her family, which Fang Yuan can't envy.
"I just don't know how Liu Le's Snorlax's training progress is. Let's ask him on the weekend." Fang Yuan changed the subject, feeling a little depressed.
Now, Eevee is still using old moves, and the progress after returning from the Little Phoenix King Cup is not significant. If he doesn't hurry, he may really be surpassed by Lin Jing.
...
Friday.
The fifth day that Eevee comprehended the Frustration move.
With the help of the Soothing Bell, it finally comprehended the Payback move, but the premise is that it can be used smoothly only when wearing the Soothing Bell.
"Very handsome, I'm really a genius..."
This day, Fang Yuan combined the Silk Scarf and Soothing Bell for the first time.
Because Eevee wasn't used to the Collar, Fang Yuan took it off and left it at home.
Instead, there was a scarf tied around Eevee's neck that looked like a cape.
And the Soothing Bell was threaded through the scarf and tied at the knot on the chest.
"Eevee!"
Eevee shook its body and then showed a satisfied expression.
Silk Scarf plus Soothing Bell...
Double the happiness!
Feeling the smoothness of the Silk Scarf and the pleasant sound of the bell, Eevee was in ecstasy.
"Stop showing off! Let's try the Payback move." Fang Yuan interrupted its fantasy.
At the old place where Frustration was used, in front of the Training Ground's rubber wall, Fang Yuan and Eevee arrived again.
This time, Fang Yuan wanted to see the power of the Payback move more directly.
"Eevee, use all your strength and use Payback to attack that wall."
Eevee nodded and looked at the rubber wall. Unlike when using Frustration, now... Eevee had a lot of initiative in controlling Emotional Energy.
To describe it more specifically, when using Frustration, Eevee was dominated by anger, while when using Payback, it dominated this Emotional Energy.
Before attacking, Eevee turned its head and glanced at Fang Yuan, brewing its emotions.
Don't think Fang Yuan is always hū yōu Eevee, but the bond between him and Eevee is definitely not comparable to other Rookie Trainers at this stage.
Fang Yuan's careful care at birth, the sweat they shed together while working hard towards the Little Phoenix King Cup, and the joy of finally achieving training results.
Few Rookie Trainers have experienced so much with their Pokémon at this stage.
And those little daily routines of mutual kēng hài have not become a barrier between Fang Yuan and Eevee. On the contrary, both sides feel very warm when they think about it. The relationship between Trainer and Pokémon is not a cold master-servant relationship, with only command and obedience.
Therefore, Eevee has never regretted becoming Fang Yuan's Pokémon.
As it recalled these memories, this emotion turned into Eevee's power. The crisp sound of the Soothing Bell entered its ears, allowing this warm current to quickly flow through Eevee's body.
As white light filled its body, Eevee suddenly crashed into the rubber wall.
With a "bang!!" sound... the rubber wall began to dent, and Fang Yuan also showed joy. The power was almost twice that of Frustration.
It seems that Eevee's feelings for him are much deeper than for a Phone!
"Something's wrong... big problem." After Fang Yuan's initial joy, his heart sank.
So... does that mean he's worth about two Phones?
After Eevee happily returned, it saw Fang Yuan pondering there, and couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.
"Eevee?"
Fang Yuan's expression was strange. Forget it, forget it, don't take it seriously. Since when did Phones become a unit of measurement for power?
The bonds between himself and Eevee were not something that mere Internet Addiction could defeat.
"The power is much greater than Quick Attack, but the speed is still a weakness," Fang Yuan said.
"Eevee…" Eevee heard this and seemed thoughtful.
Indeed, it was aware of this point as well.
Whether it was Frustration or Payback, they were just crude applications of Emotional Energy, a simple and brutal way to unleash power, very primitive… without any skill to speak of.
To put it in perspective… it was the difference between Tackle and Quick Attack.
Tackle was a crude application of energy, while Quick Attack was a skillful application of energy, which could elevate a Pokémon's speed.
"I wonder if I can train Eevee's lower limbs and tail strength through the Payback move!"
"If Emotional Energy can unlock a Pokémon's body's potential, then it should be divided into specific body parts. For example, when Lopunny uses Payback, it attacks in the form of an ear 'slap', while Eevee attacks in the form of a body 'slam'. If this form of restriction can be broken through, it might be very helpful for training other moves as well."
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up.
Could unlocking the potential of the lower limbs make the speed of Payback comparable to Quick Attack?
Could unlocking the potential of the tail accelerate the mastery of Iron Tail?
