"Torkoal has lost its ability to battle..."
Two minutes later, as Torkoal fell, Xu Jing of Heavenly Heart Dojo advanced, while Xiao Wenyu was regretfully eliminated.
Slow-moving Torkoal had been utterly stifled against a Pokémon like Abra, which could both run and fight.
The result was no surprise.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan sighed.
He would be facing Xu Jing, the Psychic Power user, in the final battle.
And his confidence in winning... was only fifty percent.
This was the only battle he did not feel particularly confident about.
With the match over, Fang Yuan did not plan to stay for the commentators' post-battle recap. After saying goodbye to Lin Jing, he left directly and headed for the warm-up area reserved for contestants.
Only two battles had taken place that morning, so there was still a long time before the finals. During that time, he and Eevee could make some more preparations.
And those preparations... left them utterly exhausted.
"Thank you."
In the medical room at Oriental Pearl Arena, Fang Yuan thanked the Pokémon Doctor after her Chansey restored Eevee's strength.
"Eevee."
After jumping onto Fang Yuan's shoulder, Eevee thanked her as well.
"This is already your second visit this morning. We'll do our best to ensure Eevee enters the match in peak condition, but the more often it receives treatment, the less effective that treatment will become in the short term," the Pokémon Doctor said with a wry smile.
"This should be common knowledge. Repeated treatment causes Pokémon to develop resistance to healing moves."
"This will absolutely be the last time," Fang Yuan said awkwardly.
"But your determination to win is worthy of encouragement. Good luck in the finals!" the Pokémon Doctor said.
Fang Yuan and Eevee thanked her again.
Since the organizers would ensure that Pokémon entered matches
