Facing the Snorlax that had turned into a ball, Fang Yuan issued a simple command.
"Eevee, carefully approach it, then use Sand Attack!"
Eevee was very clever. Its time spent with Fang Yuan allowed it to understand the deeper meaning behind most of Fang Yuan's commands.
As soon as the command was given, Eevee slightly raised its forelimbs, then gently placed them back on the ground, walking slowly step by step towards the Snorlax that had turned into a ball.
Watching Eevee stroll over like a pampered pet of a wealthy lady, Liu Le's expression changed, a little annoyed.
Little did he know that Eevee's Anticipation Ability was most sensitive when it was most relaxed.
Eevee walked very slowly, each step causing great pressure in Liu Le's heart. The key was that he couldn't let Snorlax take the initiative, because speed wasn't Snorlax's advantage.
So he was still waiting, waiting for Eevee to approach Snorlax.
After a while, Eevee finally walked to a distance that Liu Le considered appropriate.
"Snorlax, Lick!"
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, because Lick was a Ghost-type move, and its effect on the Normal-type Eevee was minimal...
Unless this Liu Le was stupid, then there was a trick.
Fang Yuan had been prepared for this, but he was still surprised by the change in Snorlax.
The Snorlax, which had turned into a ball, somehow gained a boost, and rolled towards Eevee with a white light all over its body. The speed was very fast, a bit like the Rollout move, but not quite.
"By disguising itself as a ball to hide its mouth, and then using the force of Lick to roll the ground to give the body an acceleration, making the Tackle move seem like Rollout..."
"I say, Lao Liu, your kid is clearly a genius."
Shan Mi said in surprise.
Although Liu Le's father didn't say anything, he was quite satisfied with Liu Le's little cleverness. Of course, it would be better if Liu Le's attitude could be more serious.
However, what surprised Shan Mi even more was yet to come.
Faced with this sudden attack, Eevee's expression didn't change at all, and it jumped away nimbly. Snorlax's already increased speed seemed insignificant in its eyes.
"This Eevee's reaction speed is good, and its body is also very flexible. It can dodge in such a crisis, it should have undergone targeted training." Shan Mi added.
Snorlax's attack didn't stop. Liu Le knew that Snorlax's speed was very slow, so he came up with such an attack mode.
By turning round, Snorlax curled up into a ball. Because the mass distribution of the ball was uniform and symmetrically distributed, the height of the center of gravity did not change when the ball rolled on a horizontal surface, so no energy was consumed. Therefore, if other external forces were ignored, once the ball rolled, it would keep rolling.
Although Snorlax was subjected to friction during the attack, it had the Lick move to push and change direction, so maintaining a stable moving speed was not a problem at all.
If it were someone else... they might have already fallen for it.
Now Fang Yuan was convinced that the opponent's nineteen-game winning streak was not of low quality, because this Snorlax had barely overcome the disadvantage of being slow.
Unfortunately...
It met Eevee.
It met Eevee, who could already use Quick Attack quite skillfully, and could move freely in the intricate Dense Forest.
Nimblely dodging Snorlax's rolling Tackle again and again, Eevee showed a sly smile, as if teasing Snorlax.
"Use Sand Attack continuously." Fang Yuan immediately commanded.
Although it made up for the speed defect, Snorlax's next defect was also exposed.
After rolling into a ball, Snorlax found it difficult to see the direction, and its attacks relied on brute force. As long as you didn't confront it head-on, it would be difficult for it to harm Eevee.
"Eevee!"
Upon hearing this, Eevee patted the ground, and a large amount of sand and dust was raised. It moved while creating sand and dust, making the air in the entire field turbid. This made it even more difficult for Snorlax to judge Eevee's specific location.
"Gang! Gang!!"
After a while, Snorlax let out an uncomfortable cry, then quickly stood up and looked around in a panic.
It covered its mouth and nose, looking for Eevee's trace, but Eevee's skin color was very close to the color of the sand and dust, so Snorlax could only attack randomly.
"Calm down, Snorlax, Eevee is right in front of you, gamble with the Metronome move." Liu Le said.
Hearing the Trainer's command, Snorlax stopped being anxious, and its fingers shook rhythmically. The next moment, a layer of white light filled Snorlax's fist. The randomness of the Metronome move was very high. By shaking its fingers to stimulate its brain, it wouldn't be strange to use any move. Right now, Snorlax used Mach Punch through Metronome.
"What is this move..." Liu Le was stunned.
The effect of Mach Punch was very good. It belonged to the Fighting-type and could greatly increase the speed of Snorlax's punches, which was far more daunting to Eevee than Tackle. It was a move that could contend with the speed of Quick Attack. Although Liu Le didn't understand, it didn't affect his discovery that Snorlax's punching speed had become much faster.
After Liu Le's face lit up with joy, he ordered Snorlax to attack, but he didn't realize that Snorlax's body had become quite uncoordinated. At this time, the speed brought by Mach Punch was more harmful than beneficial to Snorlax. This speed was not something Snorlax could master at all. It could be said that it was exactly what Fang Yuan wanted.
"Mach Punch... good luck, but it's still useless. Eevee, take the initiative and use Quick Attack."
"Eevee!"
Eevee showed a victorious smile. The moment Snorlax rushed out of the sand and dust, it pounced to the side of Snorlax and used Quick Attack with all its strength.
When Mach Punch came, Eevee easily dodged it. Snorlax subconsciously wanted to change the direction of its punch, but the awkwardness of its body made it miss the best attack opportunity. At this time, Eevee had already staggered its body and jumped behind it. Without hesitation, Eevee once again cleverly changed direction multiple times by stepping on the ground, interfering with Snorlax's judgment, and aimed at the weakest part of Snorlax, the back of its head.
Snorlax waved Mach Punch randomly, panting from exhaustion, but it couldn't touch Eevee at all, which made it very upset.
Until Eevee delivered a fatal blow.
With a "bang", the back of Snorlax's head suffered a heavy blow, and its whole body swayed dizzily. In a few seconds, it sat on the ground.
Eevee also landed at the same time, but the attack posture was not canceled.
"What's going on?" Liu Le widened his eyes, not understanding why Snorlax's body had become more sluggish than before.
"It's Sand Attack. After Eevee used Sand Attack continuously, not only was the air filled with sand and dust, but the ground was also covered with a layer of sand. When Snorlax was rolling, its long body hair, which could even hide food, was already full of sand. This is the main reason why it is uncomfortable and sluggish." Fang Yuan explained.
It's over...
The referee glanced at Snorlax's condition and directly announced the result: "Snorlax is unable to battle, so the winner is Fang Yuan."
...
"It looks like the result is out. This Fang Yuan is really beyond my expectations. In addition to its physical strength, this Eevee has trained all its basic qualities to a higher level than Snorlax, especially in terms of speed, which is far beyond Snorlax. However, what surprised me the most is that this kid didn't directly rely on this advantage, but chose to continue to expand it. This is a very prudent approach." Shan Mi said in the audience.
"How do you say that?" Liu's father looked at Shan Mi.
"I originally thought that Sand Attack was just to interfere with Snorlax's vision, but I didn't expect that he wanted to use this method to make sand accumulate in Snorlax's hair... For Snorlax, it would definitely not be a comfortable thing to have its body hair full of sand. This will stimulate its fat and affect its senses, causing it to lose its battle rhythm."
"Okay, let's go down."
