Chapter 71 The Taijing Transformation into Hidden Items—Who Would Have Thought of That?! (Please Read On!)
After emerging from its Poké Ball, Eevee stared at the Earth King, which was several times larger than itself, and its body immediately began to tremble slightly.

The Danger Detection ability was activated without its knowledge, telling it that the Pokémon opposite it was not to be underestimated.

It might be the most powerful opponent it has ever encountered...

Trainer, didn't you say this battle wouldn't be difficult?
big liar!
Within a few breaths, the heavy, drum-like sound of a heartbeat suddenly resounded throughout the venue, the rapid rhythm drawing everyone's attention.

This is……

Noticing that Eevee's fur was starting to tremble slightly, Ye Ci suddenly remembered a perfectly apt word.

The warrior was shocked.

A phenomenon widely observed among martial arts practitioners.

The general idea is that when a strong person faces a major challenge, their body may tremble due to high levels of excitement or tension.

To the uninformed, this might seem like an instinctive reaction driven by fear, but in reality, it's quite the opposite.

This is a stance that only appears after fully entering combat mode.

Is Eevee a creature with the heart of a warrior...?

Ye Ci raised an eyebrow, beginning to look forward to Qing Yu's next performance.

While everyone was observing Eevee, Qingyu's gaze was focused on the Earth King opposite them.

[Earth King (Female)]

[Attributes: Poison + Ground]

【Characteristics: Simple】

[Moves: Toxic, Earthquake, Sludge Wave, Super Horn Attack, Yawn, Amnesia, Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rock, Pounce...]

Just by looking at this move list, you can tell its strength is absolutely outrageous; no wonder it's the Elite Four's main Pokémon.

However, just as Qingyu had guessed, this Earth King did not have any means of long-range attrition, so the plan was still feasible.

"Ibrahimovic, it's time to show the results of your special training!"

Qingyu took a deep breath and took out a black iron ball from his pocket.

Because the dojo master goes first in the assessment, Xinli won't interrupt him before he makes his move.

This gave him the opportunity to tell a story... no, to teach Taijing.

"They started by crystallizing right away? That's certainly decisive."

Xin Li stood still, observing Qing Yu's movements with great interest.

The Earth King's two STAB moves can indeed utilize type advantages to minimize their power.

However, excessive crystallization cannot be transformed into composite properties.

and so……

It should be a steel property, right?

After the crystal bead was activated, it immediately shone with a holy silver-white light, and some mineral fragments drifted down from the gaps.

Qingyu immediately threw it above Eevee's head.

As the Crystal Orb exploded, countless fragments fell onto Eevee's body, quickly forming a thick layer of silver-white armor.

At the same time, a symbol resembling a sharp axe appeared on Ibrahimovic's forehead.

"Taijing Steel Eevee? Not a bad idea."

Ye Ci smiled slightly and understood Qing Yu's thoughts almost instantly.

Xinli's strength lies in Ground-type attacks, but her ace Earth King is even more adept at using the venom within its body to disrupt its opponents.

but……

While Taijing Steel can effectively evade the deadly poison of the Earth King, it also exposes its extremely fatal weakness.

Earth King's Ground-type moves will be extremely effective against Eevee.

But since Qingyu chose Taijing Steel, it means he must have already come up with a plan.

For example, carrying balloon props?
"Eevee, wondrous light."

After the crystallization was complete, Qingyu immediately gave instructions, attempting to maximize his first-mover advantage. If he didn't control the pace first, he might be countered by the Earth King.

Most of these seemingly dull-witted Pokémon have the ability to yawn and assimilate their opponents.

Upon hearing Qingyu's command, Xinli couldn't help but smile.

Strange Beam is a special disruptive move that confuses the Pokémon it hits, potentially causing it to attack itself.

The Earth King's speed is ridiculously slow, making it highly unlikely that he can dodge the attacks.

Since that's the case, then let's not try to avoid it.

The best defense is offense!

"King of Earth, earthquake!"

After Xin Li gave the order, the Earth King was a beat slow to react.

Even though it had been hit by the strange light, it was temporarily unaffected because of its slow reaction, and soon the attribute energy within its body began to resonate with the earth.

The earth rumbled incessantly, and the surrounding ground began to tremble violently.

As a Ground-type move, Earthquake's power is obviously not to be underestimated, yet Qingyu unconsciously frowned.

Considering the fighting strength of the Heavenly King's main force, the power of this move did not seem to meet his expectations.

Even if the Earth King isn't particularly good at offense, using an earthquake should theoretically have some impact on the surrounding terrain.

He even considered taking this opportunity to deliberately guide Xinli to use Earthquake a few more times, so that he could directly ask the League for money to rebuild a larger Sunshine Gym...

So they released water?
That makes sense, after all, it's just a dojo assessment. It would be too unfair to go all out.

For this reason, the arena battlegrounds of the dojo are designed to be very spacious and as far away as possible from inhabited areas.

In the Pokémon world, tournaments at the Ultra Ball level and above are even held in specially built arenas, just in case a battle would directly alter the surrounding environment...

Qingyu quickly understood and immediately shouted to Yibu:

"Ibrahimovic, jump!"

"Buyi!"

As Qingyu gave the command, Eevee leaped high into the air.

"It's no use. The aftershocks of an earthquake last a long time. Unless you have the ability to fly, it's impossible to avoid all the damage."

Xin Li smiled gracefully and pointed out the flaws in Qing Yu's command.

Having imagination and courage is a good thing, but he still lacks practical experience.

As Ibrahimovic jumped, she confirmed that Ibrahimovic was not tied to the balloon, so there was no possibility that he used the balloon to glide and avoid the earthquake.

"Not necessarily!"

Qingyu returned a confident look, then turned to look at Eevee.

Just as Eevee's body paused in mid-air after jumping to its maximum height, two forks suddenly appeared on the axe-shaped protrusion on its head.

Then, it began to rotate slowly like a propeller.

As the bamboo dragonfly demonstrated its function, Eevee's body also defied common sense, moving left and right in the air as if it had grown a pair of invisible wings.

Ye Ci and Xin Li were both stunned.

It wasn't because Qingyu pulled out a strange little gadget that looked much more flexible than a balloon.

There are many strange and wonderful items in the Pokémon world that craftsmen are willing to make, but due to factors such as cost and production efficiency, most of them are not developed into specific functions and just gather dust.

What surprised them was...

Qingyu, that kid, started by using Taijinghua, but he actually had another purpose?
Is the raised symbol representing an attribute that naturally appears on Eevee's head after crystallization being used as a decoy to hide the item Eevee is carrying inside using visual effects?
Who would have thought of this!
"interesting."

Xin Li quickly came to her senses and looked at Qing Yu with admiration once again.

Unexpectedly, we underestimated this young man's creativity.

Although it's infuriating, you have to admit the results are surprisingly good.

It's worth learning this trick; you might be able to use it to trick people in the future.

It's Monday again, time for another battle! So today's three chapters will be released separately, while the other two will be at the normal time. Please stay tuned! qwq
