Chapter 56: On the Right Track
"Naked prostitution? Such low character."
On the sidelines, Hidemasa Kurosaki subconsciously made a comment.
The term "naked hypnosis" refers to the direct use of hypnotic skills in a battle without any prior setup.
This behavior is highly profitable, but the success rate is correspondingly low.
Whenever they succeed, the audience inevitably exclaims, "What class! What class!"
However, this time Umbreon reacted quickly and responded promptly, preventing its good intentions from succeeding.
He quickly closed his eyes, avoiding looking at Ralts's hands that were about to wave.
At the same time, he jumped back, quickly creating distance to further avoid the influence of hypnosis.
Seeing that the hypnosis was about to fail, Chen Mu was not anxious but laughed instead.
"Cancel the hypnosis, use the Life Drops!"
He ordered the skill to be canceled for the second time and changed the move on the spot.
This requires a very high level of understanding and bond between the trainer and the Pokémon.
Trainers themselves need to have frame-rate-level reaction speed and clear thinking.
If the command is given too slowly, the Pokémon in front will have already used its move, and there won't be a chance to change it.
Therefore, Pokémon battles are often a sport that tests your reflexes.
At this moment, Ralts successfully changed tactics, releasing "Life Drop" to heal herself.
Umbreon, having already jumped back, was too late to pounce and stop it.
Seeing this, Youzhen couldn't help but exclaim, "Teacher Chen's pulling is really good. I feel that as long as we maintain this rhythm, we can win."
The three children were completely confused.
Kurosaki Hidemasa asked, puzzled, "Ralts hasn't even done any damage to Umbreon yet, how can we say we've won?"
"Was it a bit hasty?" he wondered.
Yuzuru smiled and explained, "Indeed, Ralts hasn't made any effective attacks yet, but it's clear that Teacher Chen is on the right track. He has figured out Umbreon's weaknesses."
"Umbreon's weakness?"
Hidemasa Kurosaki thought about it, but he was still puzzled.
"Eevee's appearance rate in professional matches has been very high last month. The analyses I've seen all say that it's a very versatile Pokémon."
Yuzuru raised an index finger and shook it. "The analysis you read is correct, but you have to understand that those match analysis columns are only evaluating Ibrahimovic on the field."
A Moon Eevee who can compete in professional matches must have been developed to be as perfect as possible in terms of skills, experience, and teamwork.
I don't deny that these elves have great potential; they can be developed into very well-rounded creatures, which is an advantage that many other elves can hardly match.
But that doesn't mean they are naturally all-around gifted.
In the arena, Umbreon shook its head, its eyes becoming even sharper, and pounced again, attempting to unleash its signature move "Bite" once more!
But this time, Chen Mu gave the order with much more confidence.
"Ralts, use Charm again!"
This time, it was Umbreon's turn to dodge, voluntarily giving up its attack.
Yuzuru continued to explain from the sidelines, helping the three novice students understand.
"Umbreon's biggest advantage is its durability. They are very resilient and can withstand a lot of damage even without training."
However, this is also their weakness. Their base stats are heavily biased towards HP, physical defense, and special defense, resulting in a lack of offensive capabilities and the ability to finish off opponents.
Teacher Chen played very cleverly. His best strategy was not to rush into a direct attack on this Umbreon, but to first find an opportunity to weaken the opponent, and then heal himself, slowly stalling for time.
Seeing that it couldn't deal a serious blow to Ralts, Umbreon was unwilling to risk being further weakened by pouncing on its opponent.
So he simply jumped back, creating distance and getting out of the range of the "acting cute" skill.
Then a bright yellow halo appeared around his entire body, emitting star-shaped rays.
Ranged attack: High-speed star!
This is indeed a way to break the deadlock, but Chen Mu was prepared.
"Use teleportation to dodge and create distance!"
Umbreon voluntarily retreated, which Ralts was naturally very happy about.
Because next—
"Use meditation!" Chen Mu shouted the order.
Seeing this, Yuzuru smiled approvingly once again and continued explaining.
"The second drawback of regular Umbreon is that they don't have any boosting abilities."
This deficiency can actually be remedied through training.
Normally, any player who is qualified to compete in a professional arena will learn a technique called "self-suggestion".
In this way, when an opponent strengthens themselves, they can steal the opponent's strengthening level through "self-suggestion".
However, most amateur and wild Eevee players do not have the opportunity to learn this move.
Teacher Chen is currently using this point to repeatedly pull his opponent back and forth.
Yuzhen's analysis is absolutely correct.
This is exactly what Chen Mu is thinking!
As long as Ralts levitates and assumes a meditative stance, even if Umbreon knows that its opponent might change its move midway, it still has to step forward to stop it!
If the opponent is allowed to strengthen, Umbreon will only find itself in an increasingly passive situation.
So Umbreon had no choice but to push off the ground with all its might.
Skill activation: Lightning Flash!
"Cancel meditation, tough it out, then use a Life Drop to recover!"
The advantage of Flash of Lightning is its speed, but this move doesn't deal much damage.
Moreover, this isn't even Umbreon's STAB move.
Just as Umbreon, charging towards him, opened its mouth, preparing to unleash its STAB "Bite" to deal crucial damage—
"Ralts, Hypnosis!"
Chen Mu's command once again made Umbreon feel extremely uncomfortable.
Frustrated, Umbreon dared not gamble and could only abandon its move and retreat once again.
Yuzhen continued to nod and said, "Then there's the third point that Teacher Chen's approach was correct: he kept using hypnosis as a deterrent."
Not seeking the benefits of hypnosis, but rather using this move to repeatedly disrupt Umbreon's offensive rhythm.
At this point, Yuzuru suddenly laughed.
"Actually, Umbreon has a way to break this situation. The simplest way is the skill he uses at the start: Shadow Clone."
With its main body and clones attacking together, Umbreon has a chance to deliver a crucial bite if Ralts's hypnosis fails to find the correct target immediately.
Unfortunately, this move was immediately shut down by his own child.
Upon hearing this, Minami, Kiyoren, and Kurosaki Hidemasa couldn't help but laugh.
"Well done, little Eevee!" Minami couldn't help but praise.
After laughing, Hidemasa Kurosaki was still deep in thought.
"Even so, Ralts can only manage a stalemate with Umbreon at best. How exactly is Teacher Chen going to win this battle?"
While Luna is weak offensively, on the other hand, they are incredibly tanky!
This is one of the most frequently used front-line tank Pokémon in professional matches, and I'm not kidding!
Yuzhen deliberately kept everyone in suspense, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Just wait and see what Teacher Chen has to say."
He was confident because he had learned during their previous conversation that Little Ralts possessed a rather unusual skill.
He believed that Chen Mu, with such qualities... cough, such wit, must also be considering which move to use to lay the groundwork, waiting for the decisive opportunity to arrive.
