Chapter 51: The Top 16
Compared to the quick battles with quick decisions, protracted battles show the basic skills of the Pokemon.
The first to be physically exhausted was Ivysaur, its penetrating vine whip has become a drag on it, and it could no longer be swung so fast.
"Saur~"
The tip of Ivysaur's nose was slightly wrinkled, it accidentally inhaled the blowing dust, and felt that its vine whip was very heavy, and at the same time, its body almost lost its center of gravity.
And even Eevee who was fighting for a long time was not without consumption.
Although it slowed down to save physical strength, the brain was very tired, especially performing the quick dodge time and time again made Eevee bear a lot of loads.
Fortunately, there was no injury. This kind of physical exhaustion could be recovered soon after the battle.
Eevee's advantage was getting bigger and bigger, like a snowball, gradually becoming a behemoth through slow accumulation that overwhelmed the last line of defense of the Ivysaur’s body.
As the figure staggered and moved, Eevee's clone interfered with the judgment of Ivysaur and Lin Sen.
The Eastern Pearl Arena was an open arena, and Lin Sen, who had been in a state of tension under the sun, was already sweating profusely and had a tendency to get a heat stroke.
The battle was also a competition between the trainer's physical strength and response. Compared with Lin Sen, Fang Yuan's state was obviously much better, and he could give more hints to Eevee in the battle.
"Saur~"
At the same time, Ivysaur, which had been knocked out of the air one after another, had risen three times in a row. Its willpower was far superior to the opponent's Fang Yuan and Eevee had encountered before, but at this moment, it has little stamina and strength left. The stinging pain from the body could no longer let it continue to fight.
Puff!
Finally, Ivysaur’s body began to sway, and then quickly fell on the court, now it is estimated that it couldn’t even move normally.
After the countdown, the referee reacted quickly.
"Ivysaur lost the ability to fight,… the contestant Fang Yuan advances to the top 16."
On the other side, the commentators also explained in surprise.
"After a long confrontation, Ivysaur fell down first. First of all, I would like to thank contestants Lin Sen and Fang Yuan for bringing us this wonderful game…"
Seeing Ivysaur’s fall, Fang Yuan turned down his hat slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. The seed contestants were even more difficult to deal with.
This time, Eevee’s strong reaction ability was completely exposed, and the next opponents would probably prepare in advance, like conceiving tactics to limit Eevee’s range of activities…
However, it would be a matter of time before all the hidden cards are exposed, and it is not so easy to target Eevee's reflexes.
After the referee announced the result.
The audience began to talk, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"It feels like holding your breath for a long time. It’s exciting. What was going on in this match? That Eevee's movements are so flexible, it was like Ivysaur was hitting the empty space. What’s that phrase… …"
"Fighting with the air?"
“That's right, that's how it feels."
Immediately afterward, the audience began to applaud the two contestants in the game. This match looked very interesting. The most important thing was that it lasted long enough to watch the back-and-forth moves of Ivysaur and Eevee, which was enjoyable
"No, that Lin Sen and Ivysaur are already powerful enough. If they confront my Cacnea, it will definitely not be able to withstand the intensive attack of the vine whip."
"How did that Eevee do it… When they were playing against us, they weren't like this at all."
On the steps, Han Jia, who was eliminated by Fang Yuan's trash talk, suddenly showed a complicated expression. She didn't expect Fang Yuan to win at all.
The next battle continued, but Fang Yuan's success left a deep impression on the hearts of the guests.
Several posts about Fang Yuan also appeared on the official forum of the Young Phoenix King Cup. As the first dark horse to eliminate the seed player, Fang Yuan attracted much attention for a time.
…
"Why are you shocked? Didn't I say that we won't lose?"
After Fang Yuan returned to the contestant platform, he waved in front of Lin Jing's eyes.
"You and Eevee… how could you guys be so powerful." Lin Jing said inconceivably.
She learned from her father, who was a professional trainer, that the Young Phoenix King Cup could be said to be a very high-level competition among the rookie trainer competition. The rookies who can enter the top 16 have a professional trainer behind them and big background.
And Fang Yuan…
"Isn't it easy, Eevee and I could even survive in a place like secret realms?" Fang Yuan smiled.
This was of course just a joke.
Fang Yuan was somewhat pleased to be able to enter the top sixteen because starting from the top sixteen, there were bonuses.
First place, 100,000 yuan bonus, plus a pokemon item and a Suguang Group membership card.
Second place, 50,000 yuan bonus, plus a pokemon item.
Third place, fourth place, 30,000 yuan bonus, plus a pokemon item.
The fifth to eighth place, 10,000 yuan bonus, plus a box of pokemon food.
From the ninth to the sixteenth, is awarded a prize of 5,000 yuan.
In addition, there is a trophy for first place.
Although the top 16 bonus is not a big deal in the eyes of the rich, for Fang Yuan, it was a huge sum of money.
"As long as you win one more game, the prize money can be doubled. When it comes to the championship, it will be twenty times!"
Fang Yuan was happy in his heart and planned to give his parents a happy message first.
Although Fang Yuan's father and mother didn't know much about the Young Phoenix Cup, after hearing that Fang Yuan had won the ranking and bonus, they were still very happy.
Immediately afterward, Fang Yuan also told the good news that he had entered the top sixteen, the uncle Shan of the Xingyao Battle Club.
After hearing the news over there, there was silence for a while, and then simply said continue to win!
Fang Yuan didn’t care and continued to announce the good news. The most violent reaction was Liu Le. Fang Yuan entered the top sixteen, which means that their plan was successful. At this moment, Fang Yuan's image in Liu Le's eyes suddenly became taller.
There was also a group of people… who seemed to be relatively silent. They were just a few seniors from the psychology club who were not optimistic about Fang Yuan's entry into the top 16.
After learning that Fang Yuan had really entered the top sixteen, they began to wonder what kind of perverted person their junior brother was.
"When are you going to leave?"
Fang Yuan asked Lin Jing on the platform of the Eastern Pearl Arena.
"I am living at my aunt's house and I have time, so I plan to go back to Pingcheng after watching the complete Young Phoenix King Cup." Lin Jing said.
"If you can make it to the last day of the Young Phoenix King Cup and you are not eliminated, we can go back together."
Fang Yuan touched his nose.
"Um… it's not impossible, Eevee and I will win all the way."
