How to comfort others...
Baidu gave many answers.
Fang Yuan carefully selected, but couldn't find a suitable one.
In the end, Fang Yuan simply gave up.
"Forget it, Lin Jing should be a very strong little girl, let her heal herself."
Lin Jing was eliminated.
Since Growlithe was injured and needed to be checked, she didn't return to the Players' Stand. Fang Yuan watched the morning's matches alone.
Holding Eevee's Poké Ball, Fang Yuan didn't know if Eevee could advance unscathed in the next match like before. If it could, that would be the best.
Considering Eevee's Ability, Fang Yuan was actually quite confident.
After the morning's matches, the list of the top 32 was also released.
Among them, all sixteen Seed Players advanced without any surprise, and were already considered by the audience as the most likely candidates for the top sixteen in the afternoon.
Before the afternoon's matches started.
The Pokémon Doctors invited by the organizers checked the condition of the Pokémon of the thirty-two players, including Fang Yuan, and after confirming that there were no problems, the battle for the top sixteen was about to begin.
"Boss, you must cheer up."
Fang Yuan was in the Players' Lounge holding his Phone, constantly hearing Liu Le's voice in his ear.
"This is your third call already."
"Eevee!" Eevee on Fang Yuan's shoulder also showed a dissatisfied expression.
Originally, Fang Yuan's Phone was in its hands, and it had already picked out several brands of Phones in its Taobao shopping cart. Unfortunately, this fatty disturbed it and didn't let Eevee enjoy its shopping.
"OK! This is definitely the last call. I checked the Official Forum, and it seems that your next opponent is a Seed Player, but I believe in you, crush him!"
Fang Yuan hung up the Phone.
But it wasn't over yet.
The small group chat of the Psychology Club was also very lively.
Senior: "Top 32... it's incredible. Does that mean that as long as you win the next match, you can be on the Live Platform?"
President: "You didn't secretly use an Evolution Stone to evolve Eevee, did you? Flareon or Jolteon? Or is it Vaporeon?"
Du Ai: "I feel like it's the credit of the trash talk I taught..."
Vice President: "Wait a minute... at this rate, is he really going to make it into the top sixteen?!"
Fang Yuan: "Don't panic, basic operation, sit tight, just wait and watch the live broadcast."
After speaking, he also closed the group chat.
...
"Hi."
Time: 13:00.
Fang Yuan, sitting in the Players' Lounge, was patted on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Lin Jing had returned.
"Is Growlithe okay?" Fang Yuan asked.
"It's fine," Lin Jing said.
"I just called my dad and told him about losing the match. Guess what he said? He said it's normal because all we've been doing is basic training..."
"It's not yet the Golden Growth Period for Growlithe's strength, so there's no need to rush to improve."
"So that's how it is," Fang Yuan said, surprised.
"Yeah." Lin Jing's face was slightly red.
Although she didn't know why, she always wanted to explain losing the battle.
Just like losing a game and blaming the internet, or failing an exam and saying you forgot to review the questions... Having a reasonable excuse makes you feel better.
Fang Yuan pretended to understand and turned his head. Eevee jumped onto his shoulder, and they both fell silent.
"It's almost my turn to go on stage."
"I know, I'm ready to take pictures. If you lose the match, just wait to be exposed by me in the group," Lin Jing threatened.
"Impossible to lose."
"Eevee," Eevee also agreed with Fang Yuan's words.
It was impossible to lose the upcoming battle.
The Seed Players in Group A, Group B, and Group C still advanced smoothly, becoming the top sixteen.
The three intense matches also made the spectators somewhat believe in the list of Seed Players released by the Official Forum.
As expected, those listed as Seed Players had some skills.
"Group C is over, next is Group D. I remember... the contestants are that Trainer named Lin Sen and that handsome guy named Fang Yuan, right?"
"That's right. Alas, I actually hoped the cute Eevee would win the match... I didn't expect a Pokémon like Eevee to even make it to the top thirty-two. I really wanted to see it continue to win."
"Impossible. Didn't you see the battles of the other Seed Players? So far, not a single Seed Player has been eliminated..."
At the edge of the audience, two acquainted spectators discussed.
"Yes, that kind of Trainer who only knows how to take shortcuts can't possibly continue to win," a girl passing by gritted her teeth and said silently in her heart.
Although she was wearing sunglasses, it was not difficult to see that she was the Han Jia who was eliminated by Fang Yuan's trash talk.
She and her Cacturne were really miserable...
Originally, after losing the match, Han Jia wanted to go back directly, but for some reason, she especially wanted to see Fang Yuan lose the match as well, only then could she vent her anger.
So, she came back to watch the battle.
At the same time.
"Group A, Scyther, Group B, Mr. Mime, Group C, Misdreavus, if I win next, Eevee will have to face a Ghost-type Pokémon. Try not to reveal Bite, maybe it will make the next opponent lower their guard, thinking Eevee has no means to defeat them."
"However, to deal with this Ivysaur, Eevee also needs to be serious."
In the Players' Lounge, Fang Yuan walked there alone, waiting for his turn to appear.
After this match, he could enter the top sixteen.
The top sixteen not only get to show their faces and battle on a Live Platform with millions of views, but also get interviewed by reporters. For a high school student, this is a rare achievement and an affirmation of their two months of hard work.
"If my parents find out I'm being interviewed, they'll be very happy." The corners of Fang Yuan's mouth rose slightly.
...
"Okay, next is the fourth match this afternoon, Lin Sen versus Fang Yuan. Presumably everyone is already familiar with their names..."
In the commentator's words, Fang Yuan and Lin Sen walked out.
Lin Sen's expression towards Fang Yuan was a little strange, because he had watched Fang Yuan's previous battles, and had specifically asked Fang Yuan's previous opponent, so he knew some of Fang Yuan's tactics.
Looking at Fang Yuan, Lin Sen thought to himself, "I'm already mentally prepared. If he still wants to interfere with me with trash talk, then he's just walking into a trap."
"He will also be distracted when he speaks. It is a double-edged sword. As long as I seize this opportunity and let Ivysaur launch a fierce offensive, it will be no problem to defeat that Eevee."
Thinking of this, Lin Sen smiled.
"It seems you're very happy to see me." As soon as the two appeared, Fang Yuan said in surprise.
However, Lin Sen didn't want to pay attention to Fang Yuan... and threw a Poké Ball towards Fang Yuan.
As the two threw out their Poké Balls, Ivysaur and Eevee also stood on either side of the field, glaring at each other.
