The team match between the two sides officially began after a short break. As expected, the Jiang Ling Da side still had a lineup of six Eevees, which looked utterly bizarre no matter how you looked at it.
As soon as the match started, the Jiang Ling Da players collectively used their skills: "Eevee, Double Team!"
After the six Double Teams from Jiang Ling Da were unleashed, a large number of Eevees instantly appeared on the field. Looking at the dense Eevees in front of them, before the Liu Ling Da side could make any moves, Jiang Ling Da's second wave of attacks began.
"Eevee, evolve."
An extremely dazzling white light flashed among the Eevee swarm. As the white light disappeared, a wide variety of Eevees appeared on the field.
Xia Hu Nao wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This human wave tactic is really hard to bear. How does Double Team calculate the number of clones?"
"Coach, please stop talking. You guessed it right. With so many Eevees appearing at once, I'm already dizzy. How are they supposed to fight?"
Xia Hu Nao and the others, who were half-observers off the field, were already dazzled. It was even more so for the students of Liu Ling Da who were caught in the thick of it on the field.
However, no matter how many people you brought out, there were only six to fight. Moreover, Xia Hu Nao had already prepared some follow-up moves.
"Butterfree, Four Powder Whirlwind!"
"Crobat, Four Powder Whirlwind!"
Butterfree, in cooperation with Crobat, unleashed a peculiar "Four Powder Whirlwind" that caught Jiang Ling Da off guard.
"Four Powder Whirlwind? What is that?"
Everyone knew that the so-called Double Powder Whirlwind was to blow two powder-type moves together with air currents. But what was this Four Powder Whirlwind? Could it be that Butterfree could use five moves? That would be too outrageous.
In fact, the so-called Four Powder Whirlwind was when Butterfree released four types of powder, and other Pokémon were used to create strong winds to move the dust for an attack.
Seeing the variously colored powders drifting through the air, the Jiang Ling Da team quickly counteracted: "Eevee, Fire Spin to block it!"
The Fire Eevees on the field all opened their mouths and spat out Fire Spins. However, as soon as the sparks came out of their mouths, a violent explosion occurred.
Watching the Jiang Ling Da team being disoriented by the sudden explosion, Chu Xiao Die smiled: "Coach Xia's move is indeed very effective. Then, Butterfree, another Powder Whirlwind, you choose which powder!"
This was a kind of auxiliary method for Xia Hu Nao, like a lucky draw. Anyway, the powder was blown out, as for what kind of powder it was, or how many kinds, it all depended on your luck.
After the first Four Powder Whirlwind, everyone on the field knew that the skills involved were Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, and Poison Powder, but this misfired attempt sealed the Fire Eevees' evolution. One powder alone could deplete a quarter of their health, and a few more times would wipe them out.
The fact that Jiang Ling Da dared not use Fire Eevee was good news for Liu Ling Da, because this would reduce a type weakness for Butterfree. As for Steelix, it was invincible. With Thunder Fang, it could bite anyone. Come at me if you dare with a Water Eevee.
After a period of chaos, with no Water or Fire Eevee, Steelix could roam the field with impunity. Furthermore, due to the effect of the powder, the large number of Double Teams on the field had completely vanished, and the field had returned to a six-on-six situation.
With Steelix blocking the front, the Liu Ling Da team began to unleash their full output. Butterfree kept an eye on the Eevees, and whenever one dared to turn fiery, it would cooperate with Crobat to cause a powder explosion.
However, the Jiang Ling Da lineup, apart from its exceptionally large move pool, was also exceptionally difficult to deal with. A Espeon used Protect to hold the front line, while the others took turns evolving into Leafeon or other Pokémon to restore their health. This kind of attrition tactic really stalemated the situation.
Xia Hu Nao looked at the matchups on the field: "Dragging this out is too disadvantageous. Eevee can continuously evolve and de-evolve to exploit bugs, but we can't. Our skill energy is limited and will run out as we fight. We still need to find a way to end this quickly."
Wei Chi Ting, seeing the opponent healing, also thought of a way: "I'd like to use Earthquake, but then only Butterfree and Crobat would be left..."
Everyone looked at Wei Chi Ting: "Just use it boldly. We'll deal with the consequences later."
Tan Yue, however, offered a different opinion: "Chun Yu, keep an eye on my Steelix. I plan to bite with Fire Fang."
With Tan Yue's words, everyone understood. They would use powder to apply status effects to the opponent, and then use Fire Fang to try to detonate the powder status on the opponent.
With the idea in mind, everyone began to try. Just as Steelix was cooperating with Butterfree with Fire Fang, the Jiang Ling Da players directly counterattacked with Water-type moves. And it was a six-on-one attack. Even with Blissey healing, Steelix's health could not be maintained, and Steelix was the first to be knocked out.
Without Steelix blocking the damage in the front, Jiang Ling Da's output became much more arbitrary. Various moves were directed towards the Liu Ling Da team. Seeing their condition rapidly declining, Wei Chi Ting made a desperate move: "Xing Kai, cooperate with me for an attack."
Xing Kai nodded, then commanded: "Mawile, use Bind!"
Mawile extended its part, which could be hair or tentacles, and tightly bound Jiang Ling Da's Pokémon. The Eevees were temporarily unable to move. Wei Chi Ting seized this opportunity to launch his attack: "Baltoy, use Earthquake!"
I have to say, the Jiang Ling Da system had been practiced for a long time. A Pokémon that was originally a Water Eevee suddenly became an Espeon using Protect to block the Earthquake attack. The Liu Ling Da side, however, was in a difficult situation. Apart from Butterfree and Crobat, who could dodge with their Flying type, the rest were truly all hit, and their combat effectiveness instantly dropped by a large margin.
This kind of completely disadvantageous and unrewarding fighting style was too unbearable. Fortunately, after suffering a slight loss, Wei Chi Ting promptly adjusted his strategy, elevating the priority of Butterfree and Crobat again, forcefully controlling the opponent's Pokémon, and thus managed to regain some ground.
However, the Jiang Ling Da players suddenly used the Double Team technique again, once again filling the battlefield with Eevee's figures.
Xia Hu Nao sighed: "This t/"
Upon hearing Tong Ruo's exclamation, the Liu Ling Da members turned to look: "What's wrong?"
Xia Hu Nao waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you. We are discussing what to do after falling in the semifinals again. You are students, but I am a coach. This affects my career."
After dismissing the students' questions, Xia Hu Nao continued to say to Tong Ruo: "I might have to go out for a while these past two days. Go, see them off."
"Okay, I understand."
