Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

The overwhelming momentum drew slight nods from the teachers watching the competition. To cultivate such outstanding Golems during high school, this "uncle" and his Golems were quite remarkable, even in a highly competitive recruitment competition.

So what about Ibrahimovic, who was unanimously considered to be "something special" before the match?

All the spectators looked down in the direction of Machamp's hand, only to find that Eevee, who had been motionless since her appearance, finally opened her eyes just before the iron fist smashed into her head.

Ibu's usually adorable big eyes now revealed a sharp and piercing look.

The hunt has begun!

…………

Still as a virgin, swift as a rabbit – that perfectly describes Ibrahimovic at this moment.

Faced with the seemingly immense power of Machoke's Brick Break, Ibrahimovic did not choose to roll away, but instead lowered his stance and buried his head.

In the next instant, Ibuki's entire body lay sprawled on the ground, seemingly transforming into a soft, brown blanket.

The palm strike made a whooshing sound, but it stopped precisely above the "blanket," less than ten centimeters away.

"...force?"

Not feeling the expected impact, Guai Li lowered his head in surprise, then revealed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"force?"

What kind of move is this?

[Flattened]?

How can you... dodge attacks like that?

It wasn't just his incredible strength; even the experienced professors from the Department of Combat at Kyoto University were amazed by Ibrahimovic's boundless imagination.

"Did he calculate that the downward brick-splitting attack could only hit enemies in that specific spot...? That amazing reaction and confidence, youth is truly wonderful..."

"More importantly, it's about composure. Look at the trainer and that Eevee's expressions; they remained calm throughout, as if everything was being calculated."

"More importantly, Xia Chen only commanded one sentence from beginning to end: 'Release [Self-Improvement],' yet Eevee was able to dodge in this way the instant Self-Improvement ended. The tacit understanding between the trainer and the Pokémon is truly amazing!"

"Xia Chen's talent for commanding battles is probably no less than his talent for nurturing!"

……

The teachers were surprised to see such a big surprise at the end of the first round and discussed it excitedly.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the fighting continues.

But now, it's time for Ibrahimovic to strike back.

"Eevee, support power!"

Chapter 108 He knows more about Pokémon than we do!

Support Power, a very peculiar Psychic-type special attack move.

The more you enhance your abilities, the greater the power you will unleash when attacking your opponent with accumulated power.

Its base power in the game is only twenty, but it has an effect that the power of the move increases by twenty for each level the ability is upgraded.

In other words, one instance of self-motivation can improve one's performance by 40, and two instances of self-motivation can improve it by 80!

In reality, although there is no such thing as fixed damage for moves, the effects of moves are the same.

Therefore, after a self-motivation at the start of the game, without considering STAB bonuses, Eevee's support power is already comparable to Swift's damage.

There is only one reason why Xia Chen chose to use Support Power instead of Swift: his opponent is Machoke, a Fighting-type!

The double-strength support move is the one that Eevee currently knows best for fighting Machoke.

Ibrahimovic looked up, his unfocused eyes fixed on Hagoromo.

At this moment, the function of her eyes changed from forming vision to releasing superpowers.

An invisible force of telekinesis shot out from Eevee's lifeless eyes, and the powerful impact sent the muscular Machot repelled four or five meters away.

"force..."

The power boosted by self-motivation was indeed remarkable. With just one move, the fully-powered Hao Li was already clutching his chest, panting heavily after being hit.

…………

Behind Hao Li, Wu Fang's expression was no longer as calm as before the battle began; his brows were furrowed into a deep frown.

A Pokémon knows its own Pokémon best. If it's a minor injury, a strong Machoke wouldn't even bother to cover its wound.

That's normal. The support power boosted by self-motivation not only increases the damage of the support power's own moves, but also strengthens the special attack, plus type advantage...

Wu Fang was having a headache; it was the first time he had ever felt that Ibrahimovic was so difficult to beat.

This applies not only to offense but also to defense.

With Ibrahimovic's "flattening" technique just demonstrated, Machoke will no longer be able to use Brick Break, a fighting move that relies on both hands.

So, what about using leg-powered techniques like a low kick or a kick that knocks someone down?

It seems... this is the only way.

There was no time left for him to think; Ibrahimovic's second boost was about to arrive.

With this in mind, Wu Fang no longer hesitated and shouted, "Haoli, charge!"

This time he was smarter. He didn't shout out his moves right away. He wanted to wait until Machoke charged in front of Eevee before shouting, so as to catch her off guard!

"force!"

Haoli roared with great momentum and charged forward again.

After Machamp was repelled by the support power, the two Pokémon were closer together, but only four or five meters apart.

If leg-based fighting techniques are used, the distance will actually be even shorter.

But when faced with Maverick's charge, at the critical moment, Xia Chen simply said, "Ibu, be careful to dodge."

"Buyi!"

Ibrahimovic responded seriously, getting up and preparing for battle.

…………

Xia Chen's command silenced the teachers on the sidelines.

Are you a beginner?

This is how you command a battle!

It would be better to shout "Get out of the way!" and try to awaken the bond between you and the spirit!

Several teachers who had just praised Xia Chen's conducting ability facepalmed. Were their guesses all wrong?

Was it a lucky accident?

What they didn't know was that Xia Chen had his own thoughts.

Commanding Io and commanding Milotic are two completely different things; the former is experienced and quick-witted, while the latter is the complete opposite.

Xia Chen had also tried to command Ibrahimovic in every detail, but the result was that it was exhausting and time-consuming.

Ibrahimovic's reaction speed is much faster than Xia Chen's, and he can always find the optimal solution in a given scenario.

Just like the Brick Break just now, if Xia Chen were in charge, he would definitely shout "Roll to the right to dodge!" the moment Ibrahimovic finished his self-motivation!

Sound takes time to travel, Ibrahimovic takes time to receive information, and then takes even more time to react.

Is it comparable to the temporary "flattening" effect?

Now, he has read that his opponent will likely use leg-based fighting techniques such as low kicks after charging in, but he cannot give advance notice.

What if you command "jump up to dodge," but the opponent changes their mind and shouts "split the tile" instead?

Since he didn't know how to protect him yet, the only thing Xia Chen could do was trust Ibrahimovic's judgment and reactions.

Therefore, when commanding Milotic, Xia Chen would choose to be hands-on, but when commanding Ibrahimovic, Xia Chen emphasized a "laissez-faire" approach.

Only issue the most critical decisions, or provide reminders in situations where Ibrahimovic cannot see them but I can.

Otherwise, his own unnecessary commands would become a burden to Ibrahimovic.

…………

Wu Fang was amused by Xia Chen's command. He breathed a sigh of relief and kept his eyes fixed on the distance between the two elves.

Just as the distance between them shrank to about half a meter, he suddenly launched a sneak attack, shouting, "Low kick!"

It must be said that Wu Fang's command was quite good, which enabled him to participate in the entrance examination competition of Peking University.

His timing in issuing the command was very subtle, just in time for Hawley to use a low kick to perfectly hit Ibrahimovic's position.

As soon as Wu Fang gave the order, the charging Macho man quickly crouched down, and then his left leg whipped out like lightning along an arc, aiming straight for the farthest point of the arc: Eevee!

Perhaps it was because Ibrahimovic had seized the initiative in this match that Ghalib felt humiliated, so this low kick was executed flawlessly.

The power, speed, and suddenness... all reached the pinnacle that an amateur-level Goli-class can achieve!

However, this seemingly sure-fire low kick still missed...

Hagoromo stared in astonishment at Eevee leaping high to dodge his whip kick, a sense of foreboding rising within him.

He wanted to quickly pull his leg back to avoid his opponent's counterattack, but by the time Hawley noticed that Ibrahimovic's eyes had become glazed and lifeless again, it was already too late.

A dangerous aura approached again. Although he couldn't see the trajectory of the ray, Machoke knew that Eevee's next support power had arrived.

"Haoli, raise your arms to block the damage!"

The trainer's voice came just in time, and Machoke instinctively raised his arms to shield his chest, trying to alleviate the overwhelming force.

However, the familiar impact on his head the next second shocked him.

He's been read...

This was the last thought in his mind before he lost consciousness.

…………

The audience generously applauded the exciting match, and Yi Shifu's fans who rushed to the scene cheered wildly in the live chat.

The atmosphere was strange only among the teachers watching the game in the guest seats.
