Uncle Shan is a practical man.
He wanted to start guiding Fang Yuan and Eevee that very day.
"You don't have anything else to do, right?"
"Nothing, I can even live here," Fang Yuan said shamelessly.
"That won't do, minors still need to go home before dark," Uncle Shan said.
He considered it and continued, "How about this, you and Eevee wander around for a bit, and I'll let you know when I'm ready. It won't take long."
"No problem," Fang Yuan nodded.
After saying that, Uncle Shan left directly, looking like he was preparing training equipment for Fang Yuan and Eevee.
As a "distinguished guest" of the Star Glory Battle Club, Fang Yuan certainly didn't want to be idle, so he wandered around with Eevee.
"Eevee!"
After taking a few steps, Eevee called out to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan suspiciously picked it up from his shoulder, looking at it, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Eevee…" Eevee stared at Fang Yuan.
Then, it happily pointed to the surrounding Battle Arena.
"You still want to battle?" Fang Yuan asked.
"???" Eevee's smile gradually disappeared, and then it began to argue.
After Eevee reminded him for a long time, Fang Yuan finally understood what was going on. It was about the previous battle with Liu Le.
Liu Le promised that if Snorlax won the battle, it would get a big meal, and Eevee said it wanted one too.
"So that's what it is…" Fang Yuan felt tired and said, "Here, you can have this."
He took out a bag of Orion pies from his pocket, and Eevee happily took it.
Looking at the happy Eevee, Fang Yuan felt a sense of guilt. The main thing was that Eevee was too easy to fool.
He didn't have a good breakfast himself, and a bag of spare snacks he casually packed was enough to send Eevee away… Who said Pokémon are hard to raise? Fang Yuan looked serious. He's a bit tight on money lately, but when he has money, he'll take Eevee to eat those real big meals. For now, he'll just use snacks to cope.
Sure enough, it didn't take long. After a while, Uncle Shan came back.
He greeted Fang Yuan and Eevee, who were still wandering around, and said that he would first start special training targeting Bite.
"Uncle Shan, how long will it take for Eevee to learn Bite?"
"Eevee might be able to master it within a month."
"…" Fang Yuan was speechless. There were only three weeks left until the Little Phoenix King Cup, so learning Bite in a month wouldn't work.
"If Eevee takes it seriously, it's not impossible to halve the time."
"I can't guarantee anything else, but Eevee will definitely not slack off, right, Eevee?" Fang Yuan said.
Eevee patted its chest, acknowledging Fang Yuan's words.
"Not bad..."
"Let me explain it to you first."
"The learning of Bite is divided into three stages. The first stage is to familiarize yourself with Dark-type energy, the second stage is to accumulate Dark-type energy, and the third stage is to utilize Dark-type energy." Uncle Shan said, "The main reason it's a bit complicated is because Eevee hasn't been exposed to Dark-type moves before. Otherwise, you could directly start from the third stage."
Familiarize... Accumulate... Utilize...
While Fang Yuan and Eevee were pondering these three words, Uncle Shan had already led them to a room.
This was also an independent Battle Arena, without any fancy training equipment, which was quite unexpected for Fang Yuan.
However, when he followed Uncle Shan to the vicinity of a glass platform, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
One... two... three... four... a total of four Poké Balls.
What was he going to do? Under the astonished gazes of Fang Yuan and Eevee, Uncle Shan directly threw out the four Poké Balls. The next moment, four large Mouse-like Pokémon appeared on the Battle Arena.
Rattata...
As the evolved form of Rattata, Rattata is much larger than Rattata. Its rapidly growing incisors can bite through steel. There had even been news of a Rattata group biting down a reinforced concrete building, so their strength was much stronger than Rattata.
"These four Rattata are all Pokémon in the club. Not only can they use the Bite move, but they can also use the Crunch move. The so-called familiarization with Dark-type energy is to let Eevee battle with these Rattata and learn. Don't worry, they will show mercy, so you don't have to worry about Eevee being bitten to death."
Are you a demon? How could I not worry!
Eevee looked at the four plump Rattata and their large incisors, and couldn't help but swallow. This... this is the first stage of learning the Bite move?! "They will prioritize using the Bite move to attack. What Eevee needs to do is to feel the attack method of Bite after being attacked in battle."
"Perhaps it's more appropriate to use a personal experience of Bite."
"Secondly, after each day's battle, you can take a Seven-Horn Berry from the club for Eevee to eat. The Seven-Horn Berry is a subspecies cultivated from the Spiny Horn Berry. It doesn't have the spiciness of the Spiny Horn Berry and contains Dark-type energy that is more easily absorbed by Pokémon. If you insist on eating it for a period of time, Eevee should have some feeling for Dark-type energy."
"The last stage can be said to be the most difficult, or it can be said to be the simplest. It depends on Eevee's comprehension. No one can say for sure whether it can use Dark-type energy and master Bite. Okay... one last reminder, it's best not to exceed one hour for the special training on Bite every day. Being too eager to achieve success is not conducive to Eevee's development, and if Eevee is seriously injured, you must take it to the Pokémon Center immediately. Don't rely too much on healing potions."
"Okay... I will do it." Fang Yuan said.
"Then that's it." Uncle Shan smiled.
Uncle Shan only told Fang Yuan so much, and then began to introduce Fang Yuan and Eevee to the four Rattata.
From Eevee's point of view, it certainly didn't want to get involved with these big Mice and then go through those devilish special trainings, but when it thought that these were necessary processes to become stronger, Eevee gritted its teeth and endured it.
On this day, under the personal guidance of Uncle Shan, the four Rattata and Eevee launched the initial special training.
These Rattata were obviously professionally trained, and their basic qualities were stronger than Eevee's. As sparring Pokémon of the Star Glory Battle Club, their foundation was definitely not comparable to that of a new Trainer's Pokémon.
So in the battle with the Rattata, Eevee felt very passive, with a feeling of being unable to resist.
Its experience of teasing Snorlax just now was repeated at this time, but the object was changed.
However, in the battle, Fang Yuan and Eevee also had an unexpected discovery, that is, it seemed that they could completely rely on the current battle to continue to hone the Anticipation Ability.
Eevee's speed was not as good as the Rattata, and these Rattata liked to besiege, so it would be very difficult for Eevee to avoid attacks and launch counterattacks. This situation was very suitable for Eevee to use the Anticipation Ability to deal with stronger enemies through the Ability.
This can be said to be a rare opportunity, it would be even better if Eevee's eyes could be covered
