"Sentret..."
Ding Xue was stunned.
It actually won.
Although the process seemed a bit coincidental, Sentret seemed to believe it.
At this moment, Sentret was looking at its claws, revealing a surprised expression.
Immediately afterward, Sentret looked at Ding Xue, showing off its victory.
"This works?" Ding Xue's worldview collapsed at once.
This President of the Psychology Club, just cooperated with Eevee to act and fool Sentret, and Sentret actually began to enjoy the joy of victory in battle.
At the same time.
Fang Yuan's expression also changed drastically. Under Sentret's gaze, Fang Yuan ran to Eevee in a panic and squatted down.
"Eevee, are you okay, Eevee."
"Eevee..."
Eevee slowly opened its eyes and blinked at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan looked tragic and looked at Ding Xue and Sentret, saying, "Your Sentret is so strong, but we won't admit defeat. If you have the ability, don't leave after school this afternoon. I'll wait for you at the School Gate. Let's have another battle."
Ding Xue was stunned for a moment and hadn't reacted yet, but she saw Sentret take the lead in shouting, and then looked at Eevee with arrogance.
"Da Qiu—"
The transformation from timid to inflated was too fast, making it a little difficult for Ding Xue to accept for a while.
...
The battle ended, Ding Xue took back Sentret, and Eevee jumped onto Fang Yuan's shoulder, yawning sleepily.
Now, Lin Jing and Liu Le were convinced.
Ding Xue couldn't believe the change in Sentret, and said, "Is this okay?"
"No, it's not over yet." Fang Yuan said, "This level is not enough. We need to let Sentret win more victories and build greater confidence!"
"Whether it's people or Pokémon, after tasting the sweetness of victory, no one will be willing to fail again. This is a very simple psychological problem."
Fang Yuan said seriously.
Especially Pokémon, the battle genes in their bodies are still very strong. Every move is a combat skill they have honed for survival. No matter how weak a Pokémon is, this is the result of natural selection.
What they need to do next is to make Sentret like battling psychologically.
This is also what he learned from several Seniors and even Teacher Li.
After learning these things, in the process of getting along with new Pokémon in the future, many wrong ways of getting along can be avoided.
Fang Yuan asked again:
"Ding Xue, does your Sentret have anything it likes?"
Ding Xue thought for a moment and said, "It likes to eat fruit... it likes blueberries the most."
"Then you can buy some later, as a reward for its victory in the battle tonight," Fang Yuan said.
Hearing this, Ding Xue and the others understood Fang Yuan's intention, but one person... or rather, one Pokémon, suddenly realized something was wrong.
Eevee tilted its head, feeling that this routine was inexplicably familiar.
"Liu Le, Lin Jing, you two come and help tonight as well. During the afternoon exercise break, you don't have to go. Let Eevee train Snorlax and Growlithe."
"Train them in what?"
"The Self-Cultivation of Actors," Fang Yuan said.
...
The Psychology Club's helpfulness doesn't require rewards, but Ding Xue insisted on treating them to a meal to express her gratitude.
It was hard to refuse such kindness.
After the meal, Fang Yuan talked about some precautions, such as how Ding Xue should get along with Sentret after today.
"After continuous victories, Sentret should like this feeling, so at this time, you need to strike while the iron is hot, move it with emotion, persuade it with reason, and entice it with benefits, to establish a feasible goal for it. In this way, it will crave training, and then, if it suffers setbacks again, you don't have to worry."
"Our Psychology Club has follow-up services. We have countermeasures for several possible situations that may arise later..."
Fang Yuan spoke eloquently.
Ding Xue was very grateful to Fang Yuan.
Without Fang Yuan and Eevee, she didn't know when her Sentret would change.
Lin Jing and Liu Le followed behind Fang Yuan and also learned a lot.
It could be summarized in two words: coaxing.
Coaxing Ding Xue's Sentret, so that Sentret no longer rejects battles.
But don't mention it... it really works...
In the afternoon, during the exercise break.
The three of them didn't go, but sneaked into the Clubroom Classroom.
After Eevee's brief training, Snorlax and Growlithe understood what a qualified actor should be like.
They also had a very difficult task tonight, which was to try to lose to that Sentret...
It sounded simple, but it was a technical job.
The two Pokémon's talents were obviously not as strong as Eevee's. The pretending-to-be-dead part was always particularly exaggerated, especially Snorlax, who actually fell asleep after pretending to faint...
"No matter how you look at it, Eevee is still amazing."
Lin Jing said with emotion while cooperating with Growlithe.
Who would have thought that Eevee, who was so strong, would fall down as if it had been deliberately touched by a rookie Sentret.
Fang Yuan said that these were all basic operations.
Eevee is currently only at the student stage and cannot be considered an excellent actor yet.
The truly amazing one is a certain Pikachu, who can be world-destroying one moment and defeated with a single blow the next. Battles are like acting, all relying on performance.
"Make your expression more natural, Growlithe."
"After the battle, put away that fierce expression of yours."
Fang Yuan said.
"Liu Le, wake up your Snorlax, let's do it again."
"Don't underestimate this training. Even in battles, acting is very important. For example, pretending to be injured or exhausted during a battle, if it's realistic enough, can completely make your opponent careless. These are all tactical applications."
While Fang Yuan was talking, Eevee shook its head.
Not every Pokémon is as talented as it is.
...
After school in the afternoon.
The four people gathered together again.
This time, Sentret easily defeated Eevee for the second time.
It could be seen that its condition was much better this time. At least when using the Scratch move, it dared to look Eevee directly in the eyes.
In addition, Growlithe and Snorlax were also unexpectedly defeated by Sentret.
However, because their acting skills were too clumsy, Sentret had to put in a lot of effort to win.
This battle process made Fang Yuan and the others sweat. If Growlithe and Snorlax hadn't controlled their strength well, this Sentret would have been miserable.
Fortunately, although there were twists and turns in the three battles, they ended satisfactorily.
The newborn Pokémon's mind was obviously not mature yet. After tasting the sweetness of victory, and with Ding Xue's cooperation and Fang Yuan's further coaxing, Sentret completely changed.
On the battle arena, Sentret stood on its tail, which was longer than its body, striking a victory pose, extremely excited.
Fang Yuan stretched. Everything was going smoothly. Next, he could go home and continue working on his thesis.
Thanks to Fatty Chicken for becoming an alliance master.
