Chapter 211: Bursting Flame_1

"Bwoo~"

Looking at the pitcher plant in front of it, Eevee's eyes blazed with excitement, and it turned its head back.

As if to ask, fire beats grass, right?

"Hmm…" Fang Yuan nodded.

…

"Begin!" The referee once again issued the command to start.

Whoosh!

The Carnivorous Flower's vine, like a whip, slender and curved, swung towards Eevee, creating only two shadows, but its speed formed afterimages.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~

The sound of the forceful wind pressure made the nearby freshmen gulp, not only fast but also not weak in power.

However, Eevee ignored this attack, first launching a Shadow Ball, then steadily walking forward.

Smack!!

Smack!!

As the vine shadows struck, Eevee easily dodged using the secret technique "Double Team."

If you were to say, after evolving into a Solar Spirit, which aspects of Eevee saw the most significant improvement, spiritual power was one, and the second was reaction speed.

Its predictive ability was once again enhanced.

Keep in mind, a Solar Spirit can predict an opponent's actions and the weather by feeling the flow of air through its body's tiny hairs, showing how advanced a Solar Spirit's predictive ability is.

And Eevee had been training this ability since birth, with its Dangerous Premonition trait's training never stopping... so reaction and prediction were its absolute strengths.

Even though it could not achieve the Solar Spirit's level of predicting the weather and the opponent's specific actions, avoiding such high-speed Vine Whips was effortless for Eevee.

"It actually dodged it!"

The members of the Battle Society exclaimed in surprise; two vine whips, one to bait, one to wound. Dodging one wasn't hard, but to avoid both was not easy even for their Pokemon... and Eevee appeared to do it with ease?

Boom!

On the other side, the Carnivorous Flower twirled its leaves, slicing the Shadow Ball in half while it was still in the air.

Suddenly, Eevee accelerated, its body enveloped in white light, closing in on the Carnivorous Flower using Quick Attack.

Hum!!

At the same time, red light filled Eevee's eyes as the Pretentiousness mental wave swept forth, and the Carnivorous Flower, fixated on Eevee… was immediately afflicted!

Clearly, its spirit was far weaker than Eevee's.

"Ah!!!!" In a confused state, the Carnivorous Flower began to furiously attack with its vine whips and flying leaves.

Meanwhile, Eevee continued to close in at high speed, the opponent's unconscious frantic attacks unable to even touch it.

Afterimage!

While moving, Eevee's afterimages absorbed all attacks, using its high-speed movement to create Shadow Clones that interfered with the Carnivorous Flower's judgment.

"Impressive—" Not panicking in the face of the Carnivorous Flower's confusion, Tao Yi took a sniff, detecting a sweet scent, which meant the Carnivorous Flower should regain its senses soon by its self-produced aroma.

"How long do you guess my Carnivorous Flower will take to recover?" Tao Yi asked.

The Carnivorous Flower, with its ferocious nature, wouldn't hesitate to devour intruders into its territory, and when enraged, it attacked more frequently than anyone anticipated, forcing Eevee to dodge attacks like a downpour.

Of course, this meant the Carnivorous Flower's physical strength diminished rapidly.

"Guess my ass." Fang Yuan muttered under his breath, really treating me like a junior he thought to himself. Wait till he sees what I've got planned.

"Substitute!"

At Fang Yuan's command, Eevee split in two, with the Substitute taking the attack head-on as a Reflect Wall went up, absorbing all the attacks. The furious onslaught gradually caused cracks in the Reflect Wall until it finally shattered with a crack.

Plunk!!!

The next moment, Eevee's Substitute was shredded by the swiftly swaying Vine Whip, exploding into smoke and dissipating like an explosion.

Fang Yuan cracked a smile.

Meanwhile, Tao Yi, who was closely watching the change of the field, suddenly turned pale, his heart pounding as he looked towards the actual Eevee at the side.

Substitute, the real body, using moves at the same time??

If it were just that, Tao Yi would not be so panicked, believing that even a Shadow Ball wouldn't be able to knock out the Carnivorous Flower immediately; instead, it could swiftly awaken it.

But...

A fireball as dazzling as the sun appeared in front of Eevee, making Tao Yi's eyes widen instantly.

Watching the fireball rotate like a fiery wheel, he couldn't understand why Eevee would use a Fire Type Spell!!

...

Boosted by the Solar Energy stored within the Destruction Gene, Eevee's Awakened Fire was terrifyingly potent. Moreover, due to Eevee's habits, the rotating fireball was endowed with an explosive nature.

This quality was similar to the explosive flames of the Flame Splatter Technique, but without the help of a Substitute, the fireball was very unstable, and its range was an issue... but now, Eevee was very close to the Carnivorous Flower, and distance was no longer a problem.

Eevee swung its body, launching the Awakened Fireball. With a "boom!!", the fireball exploded right in front of the bewildered Carnivorous Flower.

A giant shadow of flames emerged as wave after wave of frenzied flames, as if they yearned to devour the Carnivorous Flower, clawed through the air.

Threads of fire scattered everywhere, the scorching flames ruthlessly devouring everything in their path, and the Carnivorous Flower's figure was swiftly engulfed.

Suddenly, the venue fell silent.

What... What?

Not just the freshmen, but even the Battle Society's judges were thrown into disarray.

"Senior, I win, right?"

At the same moment, Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Although he wasn't sure if the flames were enough to incapacitate the Carnivorous Flower, severe injury was certain, and Fang Yuan refrained from ordering Eevee to finish it off as a form of restraint; otherwise, the Carnivorous Flower definitely couldn't have held on.

Tao Yi felt mixed emotions, sharing the same thoughts as Lv Liang had earlier. How could he be so foolish? With so many freshmen to choose from, why did he have to provoke Fang Yuan?

...

A moment later, the sports hall erupted into noise.

"Holy shit, did this Eevee grow up eating a Fire Stone?!"

"Eating a Fire Stone should make it evolve into a Fire Spirit Pokemon, how is it still in an Eevee's state..."

"Maybe it was an Everstone eaten together with a Fire Stone; anyway, it's a freak."

Eevee wielding flames was something neither the freshmen nor the upperclassmen could easily accept for a time.

It wasn't until the name of the Move, Awakened Power, spread quickly that they came to a sudden realization, but even so, it was hard to accept.

An upperclassman of the Battle Society... couldn't last more than a few moves against Fang Yuan??

Could it be... Fang Yuan already qualified for the school team?

However, entry to the school team required at least three Pokemon with a certain level of strength, and Fang Yuan definitely didn't meet this criterion...

But this strength... was also too uncharacteristic of a freshman!

"Alright... let's go welcome Fang Yuan, our Battle Society has a new member," said Xu Changliang, president of the Magic University Combat Club from the auditorium, breaking his silence before speaking up.

"Though, I think it won't take him two years to pass the school team selection..."

Freshmen acquainted with Fang Yuan were once again deeply impressed by him, while those who didn't know him now recognized Fang Yuan.

On the campus forum, a post swiftly appeared, titled "Flame-wielding Eevee burns down Carnivorous Flower"...

Fang Yuan was of course aware that defeating an upperclassman on his first attempt would attract much attention, but this didn't matter. Having popularity in college at most meant receiving a few more love letters, but what Fang Yuan wanted was the third Pokemon. Now, at last, he could go select a Pokemon.

Bulbasaur, Chimchar... these were the choices Fang Yuan had carefully considered, but which one to pick would depend on the specific talents of the Pokemon.
