Ancient Power was a special kind of energy. Although it was classified as Rock-type, Xiao Ran felt that it had no direct connection to that type.
It was simply that the Pokémon capable of mastering Ancient Power were mostly Pokémon revived from ancient fossils, so the move generally manifested as rocks.
Under the barrage of shattered stones, Sylveon and Umbreon could no longer stay where they were and keep using Baby-Doll Eyes and Snarl. They both leaped aside.
Freed from their interference, Machoke immediately charged at Sylveon. However, Machoke could hardly be called fast, and Sylveon easily dodged.
Faced with such a muscular Pokémon, Sylveon clearly had no desire to get close either. Instead, Sylveon kept a safe distance, toying with the opponent using Swift and Sand Attack.
On the other side, after dodging Ancient Power, Umbreon charged straight at Tyrunt, closing in with Quick Attack before lunging forward with Bite.
However, Tyrunt had a tough hide. Though the Bite hurt and injured Tyrunt, it did no serious damage. Tyrunt retaliated with the same move, snapping at Umbreon, only for the opponent to deftly dodge.
Tyrunt's massive jaws were a powerful weapon. Getting caught in them would be anything but pleasant.
"Keep your distance, then use Shadow Ball!" Seeing that fighting up close was not working well, Ye Ling immediately had Umbreon pull back and wear the opponent down with ranged moves.
A comical scene unfolded on the field. Both Eevee evolutions kept their opponents at a distance, refusing to get close and whittling them down with ranged attacks.
Yet Yin Jiao and Qiu Feibai could do nothing about it. Their Pokémon's lack of speed was a fundamental weakness, and at their current level, they had no answer.
"Damn it! You two play so dirty! Have you got no shame?
