Chapter 22 Am I really that amazing?

Emperor Engine.

This isn't actually something from the Pokémon world; it's a special technique from King, the "strongest hero on Earth," in the manga One-Punch Man.

Of course, everyone who has read the comics knows this—

This trick doesn't actually exist. It's just that King, an ordinary person, had an excessively loud heartbeat due to extreme tension, which was eventually transformed into this fictional sign.

This is very similar to the feeling that Eevee currently gives off, so Qingyu immediately made the connection between the two.

Of course, it's not entirely the same. Ibrahimovic doesn't have the ability to summon a terrifying bald head at crucial moments, so the current situation is somewhat awkward.

If I had to put it in a specific way, it's actually somewhat like a sense of oppression.

The sense of oppression is a very interesting characteristic. Almost only legendary Pokémon possess this noble characteristic, which reflects their overwhelming power over ordinary Pokémon.

However, at the same time, its effect is almost negligible...

Although it temporarily fooled the preemptive striker, making it unsure whether to continue its attack, if this stalemate continued, it was only a matter of time before it was exposed.

But for this reason, Qingyu no longer intends to command Eevee.

In this state of extreme tension, taking command might actually increase the pressure on the plant.

Whether Ibrahimovic can overcome his personality flaws will determine the outcome of this battle.

Therefore, you should cooperate with it as much as possible.

"Bubo, summon your courage and keep charging forward!"

Following Qingyu, Nemo quickly reacted as well and continued to give strong commands.

"cloth!"

After hearing the trainer's voice, Bup was visibly relieved.

It shook its head, its two hind legs ready to push off, and its eyes refocused on Eevee.

However, at that moment, Ibrahimovic took the initiative.

It remained in a forward-leaning posture, its forelimbs subtly raised, completing a small, easily noticeable movement.

Qingyu's pupils widened suddenly, then returned to normal in an instant.

Because Ibrahimovic's forward leaning posture causes him to lose his balance, an opponent with keen observation skills should be able to notice it immediately.

If you use Quick Attack at this moment, Eevee will have no chance to dodge.

Nemo was also a little confused.

Why does this Eevee look so unsteady, as if it might lose its balance at any moment?

How could a Pokémon bred by a gym leader make such an obvious mistake in a battle?
Bang, bang bang bang!
The frenzied marching drums grew increasingly rapid, highlighting the opponent's excellent condition.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Nemo quickly rejected her first reaction in her mind.

She is indeed a rookie trainer full of enthusiasm, but she is not entirely without experience in battles.

It can be confirmed that this was a deliberate attempt to give Bupa an opportunity to get close to Ibrahimovic.

"Before embarking on this journey, I want to make sure that you and Pokémon share the same feelings."

Nemo suddenly remembered what Qingyu had said before the battle.

At first she didn't understand, but when she noticed that Qingyu had completely given up command and handed over all the decision-making power to Eevee, she suddenly had a sudden realization.

Is this a reminder that I cannot make blind commands and must pay attention to Bu Bo's ideas?

But Bubo clearly didn't want to get any closer to his opponent...

I understand, I understand everything!
So this is Mr. Qingyu's assessment method!

Nemo flashed a confident smile, put one hand on her hip, and pointed at Eevee.

"Bubber, use electric shock!"

Her Fizz has the Iron Fist ability, making it more suitable for close combat, but how could an Electric-type Pokémon not know any special attack moves?

The two Pokémon weren't far apart, so when Brutus's cheeks started to emit a slight crackling sound, Eevee immediately realized what was happening.

A bolt of lightning shot out from the electric sac on Brutus's face, but Eevee dodged it almost instantly, leaping up to avoid it. Seeing this, Qingyu immediately understood.

In the Pokédex, the effect of the Anticipation ability is:
You can detect the dangerous moves your opponent possesses.

Is it because it's so afraid of getting hurt that every attack is deadly enough for it...?

My Eevee seems illegitimate in every way.

If he weren't so timid, he would have doubted whether he had actually driven it.

With its attention highly focused, its reaction speed was even faster than lightning, which was truly outrageous.

If developed properly, its danger prediction capability might be terrifyingly strong!

However, the most important thing right now is to win this match so that Ibrahimovic can gain initial confidence in the fight.

"Eevee, wondrous light!"

Taking advantage of the opponent's attack gap, Qingyu finally made a command before Eevee landed.

After dodging the attack, before it could even catch its breath, Eevee heard Qingyu's voice and acted almost instinctively.

Its tail quickly flashed with an eerie light, then swung violently in the air and fell straight down towards Bubo.

Before Bubo could react, the moment the strange light entered his body, he felt dizzy and his surroundings spinning.

The strange light took effect, and Bubo immediately fell into a state of confusion.

"Bubber, hold on!" Nemo's panicked voice rang out again, "Use the electric shock one more time!"

Upon hearing the trainer's voice, Bubo subconsciously began to gather his strength.

however……

Bang, bang, bang, bang!
The already continuous heartbeat suddenly reached its peak at this moment, and the suffocating pressure quickly caused circles to well up in Buba's eyes.

Its movements were also affected, and it began to vent electrical energy in all directions.

The result was that it quickly used up almost all of its strength, but failed to hit the stationary Eevee on the other side.

"Buy?"

Noticing that his opponent's mental state seemed a bit off, Ibrahimovic couldn't help but let out a confused cry.

"Again!"

Taking advantage of the chaos in Bubo, Qingyu decided to press her advantage.

As another burst of energy entered Bubo's body, its body once again began to uncontrollably release electric currents.

If Ibrahimovic learns these two moves during his special training and uses them properly in actual combat, the effect is not simply 1+1>2.

Moreover, Qingyu had no idea that Eevee's "Emperor Engine" would further exacerbate the chaos caused by Eevee.

It is especially lethal to weaker Pokémon.

"Stop! Stop!"

Nemo tried to rouse Bubo's senses with words, but to no avail.

After releasing the current multiple times in succession, the electric bladder used by Bubo to store electricity was completely emptied, leaving him with no strength left, and he quickly collapsed to the ground.

In this situation, it's impossible to expect it to get back up and fight again.

"Bubo has lost his ability to fight."

Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly made a judgment.

"Since the challenger's Pokémon was defeated, the Sunny Gym has won this battle."

"Buy?"

It wasn't until then that Ibrahimovic, who was still highly tense and afraid that his opponent might launch another powerful attack at any moment, finally reacted.

I think I won?
Moreover, he was unharmed and achieved a complete victory by exhausting his opponent in just two moves.

Am I really that amazing?

Eevee's lips unconsciously curled into a smile. It raised its round little head and turned to look at Qingyu, its eyes filled with smugness.

Hmph, so battling isn't that hard after all!
