That evening, Eevee's appetite increased significantly.
Most importantly, it went to bed very early.
It didn't even play on the Phone for very long, showing how exhausted Eevee really was.
Eevee fell asleep early, and after Fang Yuan finished his homework, he didn't idle around either, starting to check Magnemite's training progress.
Unlike Eevee, Magnemite only needed to practice one move, and that was Awakening Power.
"There's improvement."
As Magnemite manipulated a 2B eraser to float in the air for a full minute, Fang Yuan praised.
Compared to a few days ago, Magnemite's progress was visible to the naked eye. This was even under the circumstances where Fang Yuan hadn't invested many resources. Otherwise, Magnemite's progress could have been even faster!
However, the only pity was that, apart from detonating electrical appliances, Magnemite was currently unable to effectively convert Awakening Power into an offensive move.
In other words, the current Awakening Power had no lethality yet.
Whoosh!
Under Fang Yuan's command, the eraser was suddenly flung out by Magnemite, hitting the dartboard on the wall accurately.
Judging from the sound, the power was much greater than it had been two days ago, but it was still far from being able to injure a Pokémon.
...
Saturday.
Fang Yuan once again arrived at Pingcheng Building to participate in the New Star Plan training.
This week was a theory class, so there was no need to go to the wild for actual combat, so Fang Yuan came with a relatively relaxed mood.
"13th floor... the usual place."
After showing his ID to the security personnel, Fang Yuan got on the elevator and arrived at the room where they had been given their backpacks last week.
The room was empty. Fang Yuan was the first to arrive. Because he was too bored, he could only play with his Phone.
Soon, Lin Jing and Liu Le also arrived. After the three greeted each other, they waited together for Zhuang Xin.
Creak—
A few minutes later, the door was opened again, and Zhuang Xin, the overall head of the New Star Plan, finally arrived.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
After coming in, she nodded towards the three of them, said a simple greeting, and then pulled open the teaching all-in-one machine on the wall.
"Liu Le, please answer, what are the more common Trainer Team Battle rules in the country?"
While turning on the machine, Zhuang Xin looked at Liu Le.
"Uh."
Liu Le's face was bitter. Why was it him again?
Do I look that much like a bad student?
"Team Battle is a 5-on-5 battle mode where each side fields 5 Trainers, and each Trainer can send out one Pokémon to battle. All Pokémon will battle simultaneously on the Decagonal Battlefield. When all 5 Pokémon on one side are unable to battle, the match is decided."
Although unable to use some professional terms, Liu Le still described the general rules.
It's somewhat similar to an upgraded version of Double and Triple Battles in the games and anime.
It's also somewhat similar to the Royal Battles in the Alola region in the anime.
However, that battle involves 4 Trainers each as 1 faction, battling in a 1-on-1-on-1-on-1 format.
While the Team Battles active in various competitions on Earth involve 10 Trainers divided into 2 factions for a 5-on-5 battle.
Generally, university leagues often feature this Team Battle mode, and even in the World Pokémon League Conference, Team Battle has always been popular.
The upcoming Provincial High School Pokémon Battle League that Peaceful City First High School will participate in will use these rules for Team Battles.
"That's about it. Do you remember what I told you when I came back last week?"
"If there are any difficult tasks next time, it's very likely that the three of you will be executing them together. A three-person team is barely a prototype of a five-person team, so this week's lesson is to tell you how to cooperate with each other to maximize the strength of a team." Zhuang Xin said.
Fang Yuan could tell that the New Star Plan and the Peaceful City First High School School Team's training were proceeding almost in parallel.
Next week, the school will probably start teaching Team Battles as well.
This feeling of getting a head start... isn't bad?
Sure enough, what Zhuang Xin said next confirmed Fang Yuan's thoughts.
"Next, as members of the Peaceful City First High School School Team, you will also come into contact with relevant theories at school. However, there are still some differences between the two," Zhuang Xin said.
"In Secret Realm exploration, Professional Trainers form teams for better survival. The Trainer is equivalent to the commander, and the Pokémon are equivalent to the army. Battles with wild Pokémon, even foreign forces and illegal groups, are sometimes not simple Pokémon battles, but are carried out with the primary goal of killing the opposing Trainer; at this time, Pokémon not only have the responsibility of fighting, but also need to protect the Trainer from harm."
"The Team Battles in various competitions mainly focus on cultivating the Trainer's team awareness. Under the restrictions of the rules, they ensure appreciation and safety, and are not as cruel as actual combat."
"But even so, there is a lot to learn in Team Battles. I'll show you a video first."
Zhuang Xin clicked on a video.
The screen loaded, and the figures of Pokémon appeared on the battlefield.
The types of Pokémon on one of the teams are very interesting...
They are Tyranitar, Sandslash, Garchomp, Gliscor, and Skarmory.
Seeing this lineup, Fang Yuan blinked. Are they going to battle around the Sandstorm weather?
Sure enough, the battle began, and Tyranitar stirred up a Sandstorm. With the blessing of the special weather, the five Pokémon crushed their opponents in no time, a violent *overwhelming victory*!
After the video ended, Zhuang Xin said:
"The winning side is the Didu University School Team, and the losing side is our province's Jianghai University School Team. The entire battle lasted less than a minute. Does anyone know what the problem was?"
As soon as Zhuang Xin finished speaking, Liu Le cleverly answered, "It's tactics, it's cooperation! The Didu University's tactics and cooperation are wonderful!"
"Bullshit! Didu University is obviously a team of rich people, how can our province beat them! Cough, but the reason why Jianghai University lost so quickly is partly due to the difference in strength between the two sides, but the strength of the core tactics is also very important," Zhuang Xin said.
"The five Trainers from Didu University formed a systematic team, using Tyranitar's Sandstorm move as the core tactic, twisting the power of the five Pokémon together! In comparison, although the opponents also used some tactics, their power was still scattered, so they were suppressed so miserably!"
"During the student phase, the number and types of Pokémon a Trainer can capture are limited, making it difficult to form a systematic Pokémon team on their own. However, in Team Battles, you can leverage the strength of other teammates to maximize your own value."
...
Zhuang Xin emphasized the importance of team composition and tactical coordination in Team Battles, leaving Fang Yuan in thoughtful silence. Indeed, a one-versus-five scenario was still the simplest and most direct approach.
His Eevee... didn't seem like it could coordinate well with Lin Jing's Growlithe or Liu Le's Snorlax, no matter how he looked at it.
The Team Battle concept in this book continues the core theory of the previous book.
