It seems to possess even greater strength than the huge Dragonites of Dragon Island.
It looks like I need to reassess the power levels of these champions... It appears that Hirona and the others most certainly possess this strength as well.
Now, Fang Yuan's Eevee, in its normal state, has the combined might of a high-level Guardian God and can suppress Eevee. The power of this Dragonite is formidable; if it were on Earth, it would be nearly invincible!
Although Fang Yuan is currently amazed by Percy's power, what's more shocking, clearly, are the reactions of Percy and Erika.
On the ground, a small figure emerged from the smoke, shook off the dust from its body, and Eevee spat out a "Pui."
Fortunately, after reverting to its original form, it inherited the double defense and physical strength of its evolved form. So even if Eevee is at a disadvantage in a collision, it doesn't affect it much. If it were an ordinary Eevee, it would have already lost most of its physical strength and be covered in wounds.
"Are you monsters?" Percy couldn't help but speak out from his side of the field.
Even though Dragonite had the upper hand, he felt no joy whatsoever.
What a joke.
Dragonite's Extreme Speed, a Tackle attack on Eevee, and the result is Eevee hardly getting hurt???
If Percy is shocked, then Lady Rika is already standing there in a daze, having lost the ability to think, completely stunned.
This... Is this the power Eevee can muster???
Definitely not possible!!
Lady Rika couldn't help but widen her eyes...
The battle continues.
"Mr. Lance, don't get distracted, the fight isn't over yet," Fang Yuan said with a smile. "Eevee, Psyshock!"
Upon Fang Yuan's command, Eevee stood up, its pupils instantly filled with a blue glow, and a bluish ice Confusion attack instantly appeared beside Dragonite's body.
This was the ability Eevee gained after reverting from its evolution into Glaceon, a fusion of Ice Type power and mental power forming a new variant of Psyche Up different from the merging of Solar Energy and mental power. Its advantage no longer lay in destructive power, but in control ability.
The moment Confusion appeared, above in the sky, Dragonite felt as if it were in the depths of winter, its body stiffening up, unable to move, bound by the psychic force, and its spirit frozen solid.
"Roar!!!"
Dragonite's gaze hardened, the Blood of Reverse Scale boiling within, combining with its own psychic characteristic to forcibly break free from the encompassing blue psychic energy.
Bang!!
In the next moment, the psychic bonds fell like snowflakes, but the dazzling light that followed made Dragonite feel a fatal threat.
"Fire Punch!!"
Fortunately, at that moment, Percy's voice rang out in time, and Dragonite, without much thought, concentrated flames, following the direction of the airflow, and met a pink orb, like a small typhoon, with its fist enshrouded in fire.
With a "boom," it was now Dragonite's half of the sky that was filled with thick smoke.
First, Eevee used the blue Confusion to restrain Dragonite's speed. Then, with the ability to multitask, it simultaneously concentrated a Fairy-type Partner Skill attack. Sadly, Percy was quick to react and reminded Dragonite to use Fire to resist the Fairy and withstand that move.
The second collision sent out intense shockwaves that "cracked" and "cracked" the glass of the huge room where the battlefield was located. It was only missing one last push to completely shatter.
At this moment, even Lady Rika was almost shaken from her referee's position.
Not long after, Dragonite's figure reappeared in the sky, scarcely marked.
And on the ground, though Eevee was slightly out of breath, it was also in prime condition.
"Dragon Star Group!"
After the second exchange, Percy's gaze sharpened, and he instinctively spoke. By now, he realized that this Eevee was even more difficult to handle than some champion aces he had encountered.
With psychic power imbued with Ice Type properties, formidable Fairy-type Moves, and terrifying physical strength—these almost didn't give Percy time to think whether this was really an Eevee. At the moment, all he could do was continue issuing urgent commands according to the situation.
Fang Yuan was doing the same.
"Eevee, unleash the Ice that covers the land far and wide!"
Above in the sky, Dragonite had begun to concentrate one of its most powerful Great Moves; a myriad of stars formed energy phantoms behind it, while Eevee, standing below, started to emit an extreme cold aura. The frigid air spreading out turned the battlefield into a layer of ice almost instantly.
No matter the opponent, Fang Yuan didn't want to lose. His gaze intense, he swung his arm, revealing the Z-Ring on his wrist, which already held the Ice Type Z Pure Crystal embedded by Fang Yuan. Combined with Eevee's Ice Series Partner Technique, even if they were fighting above their level, they might still stand a chance against Dragonite.
Fang Yuan's left hand's index and middle fingers came together, gently brushing over the Z Pure Crystal.
The terrifying cold burst forth, and even without the Z-Move taking form, the entire gym had already turned into a world of ice and snow. By then, up in the sky, Dragonite once again felt a fluctuation more deadly than the Fairy orb from before.
"Damn." At the same time, Rang couldn't help but curse under his breath.
Z-Move?
Fang Yuan has this sort of thing??
And most importantly, your Eevee knows how to use Glacial Gleam Extreme Z-Move???
As Frost Power spread, Rang was already dumbfounded on the other side, thinking, you rookies have no respect for the code of conduct. I mean, your Eevee is outrageous, you yourself are outrageous, why the hell did you pull out a Z-Move in the middle of a good fight?
That being said, the arrow was on the bowstring, and he had no choice but to shoot—
Unless someone could grab the arrow in time.
"You guys... you guys stop fighting already!!" Lady Erika, who grabbed the arrow, stood at the referee's position, fists clenched, casting away her former composed ladylike demeanor, and shouted, "If you keep on fighting... my gym... my gym is going to disappear!!"
"Sorry, my gym's facilities... can't hold up to your battle!!"
Lady Erika almost cried out, stop fighting, stop fighting, I don't want to watch the battle anymore.
I don't even want to watch Venusaur anymore.
Just from the aftershocks of the two collisions, Erika already felt the damage to the gym this time was more severe than any time before.
Rang, Fang Yuan: "Uh."
With Erika's cry, Fang Yuan stopped the Z-Move, Eevee slid on the ice out of boredom, and in the sky above, after a moment of surprise, Gyro Dragonite also dispelled the meteorites filling the sky and created some flame to keep warm.
After glancing at the surroundings, Fang Yuan and Rang fell silent; indeed, the facilities here seemed to be lacking somewhat.
If Dragonite's Draco-Meteor and the Z-Move were to clash, this gym would surely be destroyed.
Forget the gym, even the surrounding buildings would probably be affected...
After exchanging glances again, Rang was left with nothing but a profound sense of defeat. He had hoped to lighten his mood with this battle, but now, he felt even heavier in spirit.
He really felt like wiping out a Rocket Gang base to vent his frustration.
"We're not fighting anymore..." Rang sighed, "I'll see you... at the World Championship."
"Okay," Fang Yuan said with a smile, alright then, one more of you doesn't make much difference.
At that moment, Lady Erika looked at the two men exchanging words, feeling almost collapsed, her head spinning.
What kind of battle had she... witnessed?
Just who exactly is this Fang Yuan, when that Venusaur, compared to his Eevee... is simply not in the same dimension?
An Eevee that can be discussed in the same breath as Rang's Dragonite?
Lady Erika's view of the world had completely shattered today.
...
That night.
Seven Island Region.
Inside a blue-toned room on Frozon Island, Heavenly King Ke Na walked out of the bathroom, shaking her wet red hair.
Just then, her private communication device suddenly rang.
It was a message.
"Rang's?"
After a moment of surprise, Ke Na opened the message.
[Rang: The Fang Yuan you asked me to meet, I've made contact with him, and we even had an unfinished battle.
His Eevee is very strong, no less so than my Dragonite... Now it's your turn to keep an eye on him for me, please. I feel that he will be another strong competitor at the Championship, alongside others like Da Wu and Hirona, etc. That's all.]
Ke Na smiled upon seeing that Rang had already met Fang Yuan and even battled him, impressed by Rang's efficiency.
But when Ke Na read further, her pupils shrank, and she wore a look of disbelief on her face.
Rang... are you serious???
