On Rustboro Academy's sports field, the students all stared wide-eyed with tension.
There was no other reason-this top-level match was a little beyond them, teacher!
Slaking, whom Young Master Mao had caught off guard with Full Counter, had actually sent Eevee flying with a backhand punch despite being unable to exert force with one arm!
Eevee-chan performed several consecutive backflips in midair before barely managing to dissipate the force and land steadily!
"Wait, isn't this thing supposed to have Truant?" Young Master Mao complained, speechless.
"That's right~" Norman spread his hands. "But that last hit just used momentum to swing the fist out. It wasn't a move."
"Fine, fine, fine..." Young Master Mao's mouth twitched. So that's how you're playing it?
Nice. If I don't say it's over, it doesn't count as the next turn...
After forcing Eevee back, Slaking lay down again and continued picking his nose with his usable hand.
Crack, crack... Young Master Mao extended his right hand and loosened his joints. "In that case, we won't hold back either. Umbreon Mode, Return!"
"Vee!" Eevee licked the wound on her side and abruptly switched to the black-furred Umbreon Mode.
This mode was the best state for exerting force.
Boom! Blue flames of light ignited all over her body, and Eevee-chan shot forward in an instant!
The first explosive step was so powerful that even the turf beneath her feet flew up!
"Catch it!" Norman's gaze grew solemn.
"Yalu-k!" Slaking disdainfully extended his right palm to meet Eevee's charge head-on.
Boom! The instant they made contact, Eevee-chan abruptly jumped and arched her back, dodging Slaking's palm before hooking her two front paws around his wrist.
Then, a terrifying Return at maximum stats activated!
"Vee! (Get lost!)" Under everyone's dumbfounded gazes, Eevee-chan executed an earth-shattering shoulder throw!
Boom! Watching
