What should I do if my pet loves watching anime?

On the sidelines, Professor Li's eyes lit up: "This is... a terrain-related characteristic? This Mare the Sheep..."

Su Wenya's eyes widened in surprise: "Electrical Creator? How is that possible? Shouldn't it be Electrical Site Skills?"

"No!"

Professor Li denied it categorically.

"It might not be noticeable whether a high-level Pokémon uses this skill or its special ability, but for these beginners, the fluency of their skills and the density of the energy in the field are completely different."

This Mare the sheep, its defining characteristic is definitely that of an electrician!

Su Wenya was so shocked she couldn't speak.

However, what's even more amazing is yet to come!

"Electromagnetic wave!" Gu Beiri seized the moment when Ibu's movements froze.

The static electricity on Mareep's body coalesced into a tiny but precise arc of electricity, which shot towards Eevee.

Ibrahimovic tried to dodge, but the interference from the electric field slowed him down.

"Sizzle!"

Electromagnetic wave hit!

Ibrahimovic froze, and a numbing electric current surged through his body.

"Oh no!" Zhou Mingxuan's expression changed drastically. "Ibrahimovic, use Shadow Ball! Quickly!"

Eevee barely opened its mouth, gathering shadow energy.

But the paralysis took effect—movements became sluggish, and the speed of energy condensation slowed down by more than half.

"Electric shocks, continuous attacks! Don't hold back!" Gu Beiri wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

The static electricity on Mare the sheep was amplified by the electric field.

Golden bolts of electricity struck Eevee from all directions.

"Bang bang bang!"

Ibrahimovic was hit by electric shocks repeatedly and cried out in pain.

But it was well-trained after all, and it still managed to condense the shadow ball.

"Launch!" Zhou Mingxuan roared.

A dark purple energy ball shot towards Mare the sheep.

"Get out of the way!"

Mare the sheep jumped to the side, but the Shadow Ball was too fast and still grazed its hind leg.

"Baa!" Maa Li staggered, seriously injured.

Lacking practical experience, Mare the sheep overreacted to being attacked.

Continuing to drag this out will be detrimental to Gu Beiri!

"Continue with the electric shocks!" Gu Beiri decided to take a gamble.

Despite the pain, Mare the sheep released another electric shock.

Ibrahimovic tried to dodge, but the paralysis made its movements seem like slow motion. It was hit twice more.

"Ibrahimovic, stand up! Use Quick Attack!" Zhou Mingxuan cried out anxiously.

Ibu struggled to his feet, a white light flashing around him—

Then, the paralysis recurred.

It stood frozen in place, unable to move.

opportunity!

"The final blow, electric shock!" Gu Beiri ordered.

Mareep concentrated all its remaining power, unleashing an arc of electricity twice as thick as before towards Eevee.

"Ibu, get out of the way!" Zhou Mingxuan shouted in despair.

But Eevee, in its paralyzed state, has no chance to dodge.

"boom!"

The electric current exploded, sending Ibu flying several meters. After landing, it twitched a few times and then lay still.

The entire room fell silent.

Professor Li checked Eevee's condition and announced, "Eevee is unable to fight. The winner is Gu Beiri."

Silence, then a huge murmur of discussion erupted.

"You won?!"

"That Mare the sheep... is so strong!"

"The electrical field! I saw it with my own eyes!"

Zhou Mingxuan stood there, stunned, his face as pale as paper.

He lost.

I lost to a farm sheep.

He lost to that country bumpkin he looked down on.

Gu Beiri walked over to the sheep and squatted down to check its injuries. Its hind leg had been grazed by the shadow ball and was bleeding, but it wasn't serious.

"Well done," he said softly, taking out a wound spray.

The sheep bleated, its eyes filled with the joy of victory despite the pain.

Professor Li walked over and carefully examined Mare the Sheep: "Electrical Maker Characteristics... Gu Beiri, Mare the Sheep, have you experienced any special events?"

Gu Beiri's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm: "Why does the professor ask that?"

"Ordinary Mare sheep cannot awaken this trait," Professor Li said with great curiosity.

Gu Beiri recalled that rainy night, the golden light and shadow churning in the clouds.

But he couldn't say.

"It's possible that there was an electrical fault on the farm, and it got electrocuted. When it woke up, it was like this," he replied, half-jokingly.

Professor Li gave him a deep look and didn't ask any further questions.

Everyone has secrets; let's leave it at that.

"Anyway, it's been well-nurtured."

Although the Pokémon lacks practical battle experience, its ability usage and tactical choices are excellent. He rarely showed an approving expression. "You don't need to write an analysis report for this battle; it's excellent."

"Thank you, Professor."

Professor Li turned to Zhou Mingxuan, who was still in a daze: "Zhou, as agreed, you will clean the training ground for a week. Starting tomorrow, you will stay at school for two hours after class every day."

Zhou Mingxuan trembled and lowered his head: "...Yes."

He gritted his teeth, his nails digging into his palms.

A humiliating disgrace.

Gu Beiri! You just wait!

I will definitely get my revenge!

…………

In the evening, Gu Beiri took Meiliyang to the school clinic to treat her wounds.

While disinfecting and bandaging Mareep, Dr. Zhang exclaimed, "That's truly remarkable. That Eevee was very well-bred; under normal circumstances, Mareep would have a very hard time winning."

"I was lucky," Gu Beiri said.

"It wasn't all luck." Dr. Zhang shook his head. "You set up the electrical field right from the start, which interfered with the trajectory of the flash of lightning. That judgment was very accurate."

Then came the electromagnetic paralysis, which limited Ibrahimovic's speed advantage.

If Eevee isn't contained at the start, Mareep will be constantly kited and will only suffer a slow death.

For a novice trainer, the tactics were executed perfectly.

After bandaging her leg, she said, "It's all set. It'll be fully healed in a couple of days. But be careful, Mare's leg injury will affect its movement, so don't train it for the next few days."

"Understood, thank you doctor."

It was already late when I left the school clinic.

Gu Beiri did not return to the dormitory immediately—the summer program provided accommodation, although it was the most basic four-person room, but at least he did not have to travel back and forth every day.

He took Mare the sheep to the artificial lake at school and found a bench to sit down.

The lake water rippled in the evening breeze, and a few carp occasionally leaped out of the water.

"You've had a hard day." Gu Beiri patted the sheep's head.

"Mwah..." The sheep leaned against his leg, looking tired, but its eyes were still bright.

It was very happy to win.

"But we can't be complacent," Gu Beiri said softly. "Zhou Mingxuan won't give up easily, and... our victory was actually very close. If Ibrahimovic had reacted a few minutes faster, if the paralysis hadn't worked..."

Many "what ifs".

The strength is not enough.

Far from enough.

"I need to become stronger." Gu Beiri gazed at the lake, "strong enough to win no matter who the opponent is or what the situation is."

Mali nodded vigorously.

A man and a sheep sat quietly in the twilight.

In the distance, the teaching building was brightly lit.

In the library, students are still studying diligently; on the training field, people are still practicing extra.

And... Professor Li is really terrifying; he recognized Mare the sheep's unusual characteristics at a glance.

The research community is indeed full of hidden talents!
