Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

…………

As expected, the unhurried command came from the other side of the field, making Jiang Pei feel even more depressed.

Although the sandstorm obscured his vision, it could not block his mental probing.

Xia Chen smiled slightly. Would he let you escape so easily?

With a flash of cold light, the sharp blade was drawn, and Excadrill's drill-like claws left a deep bloody gash on Gardevoir's body.

Although his mind was still a little dizzy from the magical flames, he understood how dangerous it was to leave Gardevoir outside, so he had no choice but to return the way he came.

Most Psychic-type Pokémon don't rely on their bodies to move, but rather on psychic powers to levitate. The stronger they are, the faster they are.

Perhaps this is the trust that a great trainer has in their ace Pokémon.

Before he could even reflect on his actions, Xia Chen immediately shouted, "Gardevoir, get ready to dodge!"

To be precise, the head is inside and the lower body is outside.

At the critical moment, a strange psychic power flashed again, and Gardevoir disappeared from Excadrill's sight for the second time.

Only after Xia Chen gave the order did he vaguely guess what had happened, and resolutely commanded, "Dragon Head Groundhog, dig a hole!"

Although it didn't use Teleport, that doesn't mean Gardevoir is slow.

Accident?

It wasn't really unexpected. The area was covered in solid ice, making it even more difficult to get out from other places. Gardevoir was just too easy to ambush.

On the bright side, although Excadrill ate another magical flame, doesn't that also prove that Gardevoir wasn't meditating?

Seeing that the visibility had improved significantly during the sandstorm, Jiang Pei knew that time was running out for the Dragon Head Mole.

However, once Jiang Pei uses teleportation to dodge, he will definitely seize the opportunity and let Dragon Head Groundhog use Iron Head to launch a counterattack.

A locator missile is not a tracking missile. Even if Gardevoir knew that it might have teleported behind it, Excadrill couldn't defy physics and turn around on the spot.

It was the buttocks before, now it's the head.

The dragon-headed groundhog, which had been roasted from head to toe, was now using its almost cooked brain to think about a problem.

With Gardevoir's current strength, although it is certainly not as strong as Excadrill in the sandstorm weather, it still managed to float to a position about five meters away from its opponent before the end of its Swords Dance.

Excadrill was astonished to find that Gardevoir was not hiding behind it as it had imagined, preparing to launch a sneak attack.

Gardevoir hid in a spot not far away; in fact, she used a clever trick to teleport to the place where Excadrill had launched its attack.

An invisible hypnotic wave containing special energy suddenly struck, heading straight for the dragon-headed ground squirrel whose body was still dancing and whose momentum was constantly increasing.

What else could it be? Just stalling for time!

Gardevoir suddenly opened its eyes and immediately activated the Psychic-type energy gathering move within its body. At the same time, it moved its body and floated towards the location of Excadrill.

Unlike Xia Chen, Jiang Pei doesn't have the ability to see through the sandstorm.

The impending magical flames did not deter him.

Perhaps it was because he had been roasted twice and inexplicably developed some kind of resistance, or perhaps it was because his claws finally hit his opponent, causing his adrenaline to surge.

All she had to do was meditate and wait for the dragon-headed mole, or even Jiang Pei's own, to be trapped in a dead end.

Thinking about it, it's not impossible. After all, Excadrill has already taken two magical flames. From his perspective, Gardevoir has a better chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

What is Gardevoir doing teleporting there?

The dragon-headed groundhog was puzzled, but Jiang Pei understood the purpose of doing so.

With a remarkably agile reaction and speed befitting its bulky size, this bronze-headed, iron-boned mole evaded the almost certain hypnotic spell.

Jiang Pei's voice reached his ears, and the dragon-headed ground rat looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a graceful and tall figure standing about thirty meters away from him, near the edge of the battlefield.

Another opportunity.

Gardevoir and Xia Chen had already witnessed firsthand just how terrifyingly fast this Sand Smash Excadrill was from the match footage they watched before the battle.

Where is she?

Gardevoir, I've found you!

However, the expected sensation of the steel claws making contact with the body did not occur.

At this time, visibility on the battlefield was increasing, which meant that the sandstorm was not far from ending.

Once the sandstorm ends, the speed of the core leader, the gopher, will be greatly reduced.

A sandstorm team without sandstorm weather, can it still be called a sandstorm team?

Jiang Pei, who came from the Huangsha Dojo, understood that if that situation really happened, then the end of the competition wouldn't be far off.

Gripping the Poké Ball tightly, Jiang Pei was ready to switch to Hippowdon and unleash Sandstorm again at any moment.

The dust has settled

After a few days of fuss, it's almost over.

The experiences of the past few days have been quite moving.

Gambling can really turn a person into a monster.

The uncle I was very close to when I was a child is now so disheartening.

First, they swore they would never drag my family into this mess, and that they would borrow money to get us out of it.

Then, the day before, they said they had borrowed 500,000, but the next day they said it was gone.

Today they came up with some new plan: zero down payment for home purchases to help us move to a new home.

They made all sorts of promises, but the real meaning is that the down payment money was all transferred to the subsequent loan.

We still have to pay the money, and we still have to pay millions in mortgage payments.

Numb

After consulting with a lawyer, the only good news was that we would receive half of the proceeds from the court's auction of the house.

Because only my father signed the guarantee, but the house is the joint property of the couple.

But the real estate market is bad right now, and it's a foreclosed property, so who knows if you'll even get a million in the end.

Second-degree anesthesia

My dad asked me to decide whether to use this money and the family savings to take out a loan to buy another house in Suzhou, or to go back to my hometown to buy a house.

I can't afford a house in Suzhou anymore, and since I don't want to be a mortgage slave and prefer to just lie around and do nothing, I decisively chose the latter.

So, I guess that's the end of the matter.

What can you do if you find your relatives disgusting?

The only thing we can do is never see each other again.

Finally, I'm truly sorry that this matter has affected updates and everyone's mood.

I'm taking the last day of the month, but I'll definitely be updating as usual tomorrow.

If I don't update soon, my perfect attendance record will be gone.

Be prepared off the field, and don't waste time on the field.

Although Jiang Pei knew that Gardevoir used Teleport to teleport to the far end of the battlefield in order to delay the Sandstorm, he had no choice but to let Excadrill continue its offensive posture.

I am already at a disadvantage. If I continue to hesitate, my chances of winning this battle will only decrease.

"Dragon-headed Groundhog, charge!"

Under Jiang Pei's decisive command, the dragon-headed ground squirrels in the sandstorm accelerated once again.

Whether it was due to the reduced effect of the sandstorm or a problem with its stamina, the speed of the Dragon Head Mole decreased significantly compared to the previous two times.

It took nearly three seconds to cover a distance of about twenty meters.

For those three seconds, Gardevoir remained motionless and stood still.

As Jiang Pei watched Gardevoir closing the distance to Excadrill while remaining unmoved, suspicion arose in his heart.

Why isn't Xia Chen giving the order?

He was mentally prepared for both magical flames and hypnosis, and had different ways of dealing with them.

Gardevoir seemed unwilling to do anything, which really stumped Jiang Pei.

Is he planning to use the same old trick again, instantly teleporting to the other side of the battlefield to continue delaying time?

It's not impossible.

Seeing that Excadrill was only a few steps away from Gardevoir, Jiang Pei didn't care about anything else and resolutely commanded, "Excadrill, Metal Claw!"

At this moment, he had already thought of various countermeasures to deal with Gardevoir's different reactions.

If it's magical fire, then just take the damage head-on. If it's hypnosis, then you can switch to the hippopotamus to restart the sandstorm weather.

With everything ready, Jiang Pei gripped the Poké Ball tightly, prepared to recall Excadrill at any moment.

However, what happened next on the battlefield as the sandstorm gradually dissipated stunned him.

…………

But Gardevoir did not use any of the moves Jiang Pei had imagined in front of Excadrill, which was wielding its steel claws. Instead, it allowed Excadrill's sharp metal claws to slash across its body.

Jiang Pei was stunned. Why wasn't Gardevoir resisting at all, and didn't even use Teleport?

Was the teleportation you just used too far and too energy-consuming?

Jiang Pei had just formed this thought and was preparing to press his advantage.

The next second, a dark light suddenly shone in Gardevoir's eyes, shattering all his fantasies.

It's a black gaze!

Jiang Pei was startled and instinctively raised the Poké Ball in his hand to try to recall Excadrill.
