"Very good! Casey's reaction speed and control over Confusion is getting slower and slower."

"As it wears down, it's likely to run out of steam before Eevee does!"

"So, Eevee and I just need to maintain our current rhythm."

Fang Yuan focused on the battle while predicting the situation.

Before the match, he tested Eevee's limits twice, specifically to better handle this kind of situation.

If planning for a battle of attrition, one must understand a Pokemon's limits.

If the opponent is the first to falter, then that's undoubtedly the best outcome.

But if the situation is reversed, and his side is the first to falter, knowing the Pokemon's limit can allow for riskier tactics before reaching that limit, to increase the chances of victory.

Fang Yuan knew where Eevee's limit was, so he now had a rough judgment of the match's situation.

Just as he had initially expected, a battle of attrition favored Eevee, who was clearly in a more stable condition than Casey and still had strength to spare.

Although it seemed that the initiative was with Casey, it was quite difficult for it to inflict any substantial damage on Eevee.

And for Eevee, as long as it managed to interrupt Casey's meditation, Casey would never be able to turn the tables.

"Is this really a rookie?"

Watching the standoff on the field, Lu Hai in the guest seats couldn't help but express his anxiety.

Is meditation as a bait not working?

Even at such close range, Eevee could still use Shadow Clone and Sand Splash to mitigate the impact of Psyshock, which was beyond his and Xu Jing's expectations.

All one could say was that Fang Yuan and Eevee were very well-prepared; this is the benefit of detailed research before a match.

That being said,

Fang Yuan's palms were also completely sweaty, the back-and-forth battle between Eevee and Casey on the field making him quite nervous.

He worried that Eevee might make a mistake due to fatigue at any moment.

A little mistake could ruin the rhythm of the battle, giving Casey the opportunity to capitalize.

However, fortunately, up until now, a strong belief has kept Eevee highly focused mentally.

"The situation is clear now, Xu Jing and Casey are being led by the nose by Fang Yuan and Eevee, the advantage in stamina will become the key factor in Eevee's victory,"

"unless a change is made right now."

Suddenly, a representative from the Magic City Trainer Association spoke up.

The Psychic Type Casey, with its Teleport and Psyshock, is indeed powerful, but still seems to lack something when compared to Eevee, who has balanced qualities in all areas.

Moreover, Fang Yuan's side has had the upper hand in terms of tactical options and preparation for the battle.

"This is not looking good."

"However, there's still hope for a turnaround..." Lu Hai also said with a frown.

Casey's advantage lies in its elusive Teleport and the powerful Psyshock.

If Casey can seize the right moment to Teleport next to Eevee and land a direct hit with Psyshock, then it could secure the victory.

This has been Casey's previous fighting style—simple and brutal.

However, faced with Fang Yuan, Xu Jing hesitated and didn't dare to use this mode of attack.

Instead, she retreated a step and chose to use meditation to lure Eevee into attacking and then employ Psyshock at close range.

Lu Hai understood Xu Jing's concerns.

The reason she did this was because she was worried about Eevee's Sand Splash, also known as Counter Shield.

If Casey teleported next to Eevee for a close-range sneak attack, Xu Jing wasn't sure if Eevee would use Counter Shield first, or if Casey could execute Psyshock first.

This was a big risk.

If Eevee reacted first and was quicker than Casey, then given Casey's defense, it would immediately be caught off guard and led to defeat.

Xu Jing was not very confident about such a gamble.

Thus, before reaching a dire situation, she also chose to let Casey engage in a battle of attrition with Eevee and try to find an opportunity in this process to defeat Eevee securely.

One could say, in this battle, both Fang Yuan and Xu Jing had conducted quite thorough research on their opponents.

However, at this moment, since Eevee made no mistakes, it was Casey who had fallen behind.

Xu Jing bit her lip, clearly unwilling to continue like this; she didn't want to lose.

She fully understood her own Casey, just a little longer, and Casey would probably succumb to spiritual power exhaustion and fall asleep.

Although Eevee was covered in wounds, Casey hadn't been hit even once, yet Casey's energy consumption was tremendous. The energy expended by Teleport and Psyshock was incomparable to Quick Attack and Sand Splash, thus the first to falter would definitely be Casey.

This was something Xu Jing was acutely aware of.

"Eevee's condition has also declined, maybe we can risk it," she thought.

Xu Jing clenched her fists, no longer willing to drag this out with Fang Yuan; she wanted to settle this battle in the simplest way possible.

Casey, Teleport close to Eevee!

Then use Psyshock!

These two straightforward commands had been designed by Xu Jing as secret signals before the battle, so that Fang Yuan and Eevee wouldn't be able to react immediately.

They dared not underestimate Eevee's sixth sense and reaction speed; giving direct commands would undeniably provide Eevee with more time to react.

Teleport, Psyshock.

The most crucial moment of the battle, Casey didn't use Teleport to increase the distance but instead to close in on Eevee.

Seeing this, whether it was the guests or Fang Yuan, all had a shiver in their hearts.

The final outcome was about to be decided.

Above the moving Eevee, Casey's figure appeared in an instant, and at the same time, Eevee also changed its move. The high-speed rotating Sand Splash, accompanied by an upward air current, directly formed a Counter Shield.

At this moment, Eevee too had been waiting for too long.

Speed, it was Eevee who was a bit faster; the sand-rope-like Sand Splash struck out, disrupting Casey's concentration of spiritual power, causing Casey to suffer briefly. But the Sand Splash alone, even with Casey's low defense power, wouldn't be enough to incapacitate it. So, seizing this opportunity, Eevee didn't continue maintaining the Counter Shield but instead leaped forward, taking advantage of this brief window to use the Bite Technique.

However, this maneuver also had its drawbacks, too many variables.

Casey recovered.

And more importantly, it didn't give up on concentrating for the Psyshock. As Eevee jumped, the interrupted concentration process began once more, and the moment Eevee bit into Casey, the powerful Psychic Orb also struck Eevee.

With simultaneous "Bang!" noises,

dust billowed, and both Pokemon fell from mid-air to the ground.

The collision in the blink of an eye did not give everybody time to react before Casey and Eevee landed one after the other.

Both incapacitated at the same time?

This question emerged in everyone's minds.

A draw was unheard of in the Little Phoenix King Cup.

"No, wait, there are a few seconds left!" the Commentator suddenly spoke, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the Referee.

At the same time, Fang Yuan and Xu Jing both quickly looked to their respective Pokemon, calling out to them together.

In the following ten seconds, whoever between Eevee and Casey could stand up and endure until the Referee announced the result would be the ultimate victor.

It's just that neither of the two Pokemon appeared capable of standing up again.

The audience couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.

Perhaps an extension match would also have been an acceptable outcome... Fang Yuan and Xu Jing were also ready to give up.

But, just at that moment, Fang Yuan suddenly thought of something.

He gave up on the call of "Stand up!"

Instead, he shouted towards Eevee, "Two parts, two smartphones!"

No sooner had the words fallen than Eevee's blurry consciousness seemed to be stimulated. Its ears twitched first, followed by a slight twitch in one leg, and then, Eevee painfully opened its eyes and weakly called out.

"Bwoo..."

And just like that, in the last few seconds of the Referee's countdown, Eevee slowly stood up, dragging its crippled body, with a look of determination in its eyes.

The audience was shocked.

"My goodness!! Such a strong will! Under the caring call of Trainer Fang Yuan, Eevee... the heavily injured Eevee actually stood up. Could this be the power of friendship?!" the Commentator exclaimed.

"The final victor... has emerged!!" the Commentator shouted.
