Chapter 33-Counter-Shield

 

At noon, after the special training, Fang Yuan sat in the Pokemon center.

Without any surprise… The special training ended with Eevee losing the ability to move.
This half-day was really exhausting for the little guy.

“No.
18, Fang Yuan.”

After hearing the announcement, Fang Yuan stood up and went to meet Eevee.

The Pokemon Center was indeed a magical place, watching Eevee who was lively again, Fang Yuan took it.

Immediately afterward, Eevee crawled on Fang Yuan’s arm, climbed to his shoulder, and then stretched out its claws, seeming to want to open Fang Yuan’s backpack.

“Not now.”

“Vee…” Eevee’s paws stopped and it pouted.

“Don’t worry, wait until after the meal.”

When leaving the Xingyao Battle Club, Uncle Shan took Fang Yuan and Eevee to receive today’s share of Hepta berry.
Although Eevee doesn’t know how the Hepta berries taste, it was something to eat after all, so it was still looking forward to it.

After the meal, After the meal…

Hearing Fang Yuan’s words, Little Eevee looked forward to lunch again and began to urge Fang Yuan.

“Good……”

Looking at the carefree Eevee, Fang Yuan also sighed, he also wanted this mentality.

After each high-intensity special training, even eating the cheapest snacks and watching the most nutritious drama, Eevee could be very happy and quickly forget the troubles of the day.

However, he was different.
In order to prepare for the Young Phoenix King Cup, he had been under great pressure.

“Is it because I’ve been single for a long time, could it be because my father’s education is right?” Fang Yuan held this doubt, finished lunch, and finally returned home with Eevee.

Xingyao Battle Club, there should be nothing today, so the afternoon time was arranged by the Fang Yuan and Eevee themselves.

Although the special training in the morning has been very hard, time was money.
Just after the little Eevee had eaten the Hepta berry, it was pulled by Fang Yuan to have a talk.

To be more appropriate it was spiritual torture

“Vee?”

After looking at the picture Fang Yuan picked up, Eevee’s eyes widened in confusion.

This was a piece of white paper, on the white paper, there were two fairy-like pokemon.

Eevee’s paw tremblingly pointed to the Pokemon below and asked Fang Yuan if that was itself.

“Yes, you are the Pokemon standing on the ground, and the Pokemon flying in the sky can refer to all flying type Pokemon.”

“I thought about it, after learning Bite, and with your speed and ability, you don’t have to be afraid of ghost pokemon, but other than that, If the opponent is a flying pokemon, You will be very passive as you don’t have any long-range attack method.”

Eevee nodded thoughtfully.

“Also, in today’s morning special training session, I have summarized.
If the opponent is faster than you, you don’t have a good counterattack method.”

Eevee nodded again.

And suspected that Fang Yuan was targeting it.

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said, “So, in the face of these two problems, I think it is necessary to conduct additional special training.
In this way, if there is one more card, the winning probability of the game will be greater.”

“Vee~” Eevee yelled, which meant `what is your plan?’

“Speaking of which, I got inspiration when I was doing the problems…” Fang Yuan pulled a physics workbook on the table and opened the first page.

There was a question about centrifugal force.

Centrifugal force is a kind of virtual force, an inertial force, which keeps the rotating object away from its center of rotation.
To put it plainly, it was an effect brought by rotation.

Fang Yuan thought of a tactic he saw in the animation.

Counter-Shield

This was the tactic developed by the animation protagonist Ash in the Diamond & Pearl series.
This tactic successfully prevented Fantina, the top coordinator and master of the gym, from using Hypnosis.

It became the key to Ash’s victory.
Even Fantina, who was an opponent, appreciated this tactic very much and named it.

The Counter-Shield could be used for both attack and defense purposes.
In essence, it is also the use of rotation.

The Pokemon rotates in a place so it allows to no longer concentrate the move in one direction, but to cover a very large range, turning the damage-type moves into both offensive and defensive moves.

Ash’s tactics were inspired by his companion Dawn’s simple performance in the Pokemon Contests.
From another perspective, the move wraps the Pokemon’s body without any dead ends, so this small idea became the source of Ash’s inspiration.

After that, this tactic shined brilliantly in the Lily of the Valley Conference, and was also learned by Ash’s arch-rival Paul and companion Dawn, and has been extensively used, which could be said to be one of the tactical skills most shown in the animation.

Perhaps this technique was not unusual for some masters, but it could definitely help Fang Yuan and Eevee to become their new trump card.

“If you can complete this tactical technique, then even if you face an opponent who is faster than you or an opponent who is flying in the air, you will have a very good counterattack.”

After Fang Yuan explained the principle of the counter-shield to Eevee, Eevee showed a dazed expression.

What moves should be used to complete the Counter-Shield?

It couldn’t be done with a Quick attack.

“Of course it’s best to use an attack technique that releases energy, but you can’t learn those fancy moves at all.
I think Swift is fine, but even if you can learn Swift in a short period, it is probably difficult to use it skillfully…”

“The most important thing is that you have to learn to Bite.
Let’s not think about Swift, just give up.”

“I think that Sand-Attack is also good.
After all, you are quite skilled in Sand-Attack.
Although Sand-Attack is not lethal, it has a very strong interference effect on the Pokemon.
Think about the previous fight, Munchlax because of your Sand-Attack lost the rhythm of the entire battle, allowing you to win easily.”

“This kind of interference… plus the inertial force imparted by the rotation, it is not impossible to use it as attack or defense.
Using it well is definitely an excellent counterattack method.”

“And the enemy must have never thought that Sand-Attack could be used in this way!”

The more Fang Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that he could give it a try.
Little Eevee had good control of the energy of the ground type, which could be seen from the process of comprehending the Sand-Attack.

However, there was another difficulty, that is, Sand-Attack was a change-based move, which was very different from the flamethrower, thunderbolt, and other release-type attacks.
How to use Sand-Attack to complete the counter- shield tactics requires further thinking.

“Veevee……”

After listening, Eevee patted the ground with its tail and yawned, indicating that it did not want to use its brain.

You make all the arrangements!

“That’s a good decision, then let’s go downstairs and try it first.” Fang Yuan said excitedly.
