"Scyther, continue to create distance, then look for an opportunity to attack."
After finding a way to deal with the enemy, Xie Ming revealed a confident smile.
Fang Yuan's words before the match were also thrown to the back of his mind.
Xie Ming continued to give orders, while recalling Eevee's advantages.
What if its reaction speed is fast? Scyther flies in the sky, with a wide field of vision and strong mobility. If one strike misses, it will create distance and attack again, until Eevee is forced into a corner!
You must know that in terms of moves, it is difficult for Eevee to fight against Scyther, whether it is Bite or Quick Attack.
Two Scythes, two wings, the horn on its head, and the spikes on its legs are all Scyther's weapons!
And what does Eevee have?
Scyther is like a warrior in armor, while Eevee is no different from a pet.
"It seems that Fang Yuan is really going to stop here this time."
"Yes, Pokémon like Scyther are born warriors, and this one is quite well-trained. It is too difficult for Pokémon like Eevee to win."
"Being able to confront Scyther to this extent, this Fang Yuan and Eevee are already amazing."
The Professional Trainers in the Guest Seats expressed their views. Judging from the current situation, Eevee is already powerless to recover.
"Unless Scyther makes a serious mistake, or Eevee uses other New Moves, otherwise, based on Eevee's previous performance, it can no longer pose a threat to Scyther." Lu Student said, "However... these situations are unlikely to happen."
At the same time.
Scyther launched another attack from the air. It first circled Eevee quickly several times, interfering with Eevee's judgment, and then seized the opportunity to unleash Fury Cutter.
Eevee looked cautious and reacted immediately, dodging. However, after dodging, Scyther used its faster flying speed to launch a continuous suppressive offensive.
"When attacking continuously, Scyther's whole body is full of flaws, but unfortunately Eevee doesn't have a good opportunity to counterattack." Fang Yuan sighed.
The alternation of attack and dodge became a beautiful scene on the battlefield.
Seven or eight seconds later, Eevee was the first to show a flaw.
Seeing this flaw, Xie Ming and Scyther were overjoyed, and the Professional Trainers on the stage showed regretful expressions.
It's over.
Eevee was forced into a dead corner and it was difficult to dodge again. The outcome was at stake.
Scyther quickly adjusted its direction and swung the final blow towards Eevee.
Is there no way...
Expose it then.
"Use Sand Attack."
At this last moment, Fang Yuan was not flustered at all, but spoke calmly.
Sand Attack?
Hearing this command, Xie Ming didn't take it seriously. The Scyther spread its wings, ready to blow away the sand and dust.
"Is this a last-ditch effort?"
The Professional Trainers on the platform were all surprised by Eevee's actions.
Everyone present knew that Sand Attack couldn't stop Scyther, as Scyther had already countered this move too many times.
However—
Whoosh!
In the corner of the battlefield, as Eevee's paw pads lightly scraped the ground, its forelimbs moved rapidly. At the same time, the continuous high-speed collision of Ground-type Energy generated a special updraft. Centered on Eevee, this updraft began to stir the sand and dust, causing it to rotate at high speed and highly concentrate the sand grains, forming several sand ropes similar to lassos!
The high-speed rotational force flung these condensed sand grains. Seeing this change, Scyther vigorously flapped its wings, but it couldn't blow away the rotating Sand Attack at all. It unleashed a Scythe, but the second sand rope quickly followed, and with a muffled sound, this rotating Sand Attack struck Scyther's body, wings, and face with considerable force.
After a painful cry from Scyther, it was forced to land. Eevee seized the opportunity to pursue, and a swift Quick Attack struck Scyther's most vulnerable abdomen, followed by a mouthful of Dark-type Energy that bit into its wing joint.
"Impossible!"
In the next moment, several guests suddenly stood up, looking solemnly at Eevee on the battlefield.
What was that Sand Attack just now...?
"I told you, we prepared a secret weapon, and told you to be careful, why didn't you believe me?"
"There's no basic trust between people anymore." Fang Yuan said with a smile.
Rotating Sand Attack!
It would be more accurate to call it the Sand Attack Version of Counter Shield.
This technique, which Fang Yuan had improved based on the Counter Shield tactic in the anime, was revealed for the first time.
The entire venue was silent.
"Un... unbelievable, Eevee used a Sand Attack form that has never appeared before. This move directly put Scyther at a disadvantage, a major reversal!! A major reversal has occurred in the match!!" the Commentator shouted excitedly.
Looking at Scyther's falling figure, the guests and spectators who had already decided the outcome of this battle in their hearts couldn't believe it.
After the Referee quickly announced the result, the audience seats erupted completely.
"Did you all see that just now, that Sand Attack." Among the guests, a Professional Trainer spoke.
"Lu Student, can you do that?" he asked Lu Student, the youngest of the guests.
"This... the principle is to make the move rotate to increase its attack range and force, transforming it into a move that combines offense and defense. As long as you are very proficient in one move, it is not difficult to do. However, that is only limited to attack-type moves condensed from energy, such as Flamethrower and Thunderbolt, but if it is Sand Attack... it is very difficult. This Eevee can do it, there must be unique techniques involved." Lu Student said honestly.
"That's right, if it were other moves, it would only mean that this Eevee is very proficient in that move, but Sand Attack..." This Professional Trainer pondered, "I can't figure out how it practiced to this extent in a short time. Eevee is clearly a Normal-type Pokémon... not a Ground-type."
"Incredible, this kind of technique would actually appear on a Rookie Trainer."
"What's going on, did we win?!"
"What happened just now? Is there a replay!"
Not only the guests, but also the audience in the stands and in the live broadcast room were shocked by the fleeting Sand Attack Version of Counter Shield technique just now. After the silence, there were constant inquiries.
Looking at Fang Yuan and Eevee's figures on the battlefield, in the Guest Seats, another Professional Trainer asked.
"What's Fang Yuan's background? Is he the child of some Professional Trainer? Which high school does he attend?"
"He's not a local from Modu; he's from Peaceful City, a small city…" said the representative from Dawn Group.
At the same time, feeling the gazes around him, Fang Yuan took a breath. He had reached the Top Four, but it was also a pity because their last trump card, Counter Shield, had been completely exposed.
The road ahead would be even more difficult.
