Greatest Pokémon Trainer

After his battle ended, Fang Yuan theoretically should have hurriedly taken his Pokemon for healing, because doing so would prepare him better for the upcoming tournament fights.

Hera's departure was more urgent. Her first two Pokemon were fine, only having fainted due to severe injuries.

But the last four Pokemon had it much tougher, not only were they brutally beaten, but their physical strength was completely drained, and they were poisoned as well.

If it wasn't for the world championship gathering the best Pokemon doctors and nurses from around the globe, this battle would have ended Hera's competition, leaving her unable to compete for at least three days.

"Well... one day is about the same," Fang Yuan said.

He himself had no intention of seeking treatment; his Venusaur barely took any damage. It was just a bit overworked, which didn't necessitate any treatment. It would be better to let it recover slowly in the Poke Ball, as natural greenery aids in maintaining good health.

"Little Tang, give it your all." Fang Yuan decided not to seek treatment so that he could stay and cheer on his teammates. Not long after the first battle ended, the second match began immediately.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Xinlan looked at the battle screen, where Cairo, the second contestant from the Egyptian team, who had fought against Fang Yuan before, was waiting.

"Don't be nervous," Shang Ren said, noticing Tang Xinlan's expression. "Even if there's a slight mishap, I'm still up next, along with the tournament fights."

Turning her head, Tang Xinlan replied, "No, I'm just contemplating how to take on six..."

Laughing, Mu Fan said, "Wow, that's harsh. So, Shang Ren's chances to fight are slim, huh?"

Zheng Hongyi remarked, "But the opposition's captain is in a different league compared to the four members. Facing Saeed, it might be difficult to take on six... However, if we encounter him in a team battle, as long as he doesn't possess top-level power, I can beat him up!"

Fang Yuan added, "It's a pity I didn't face their captain... No matter how strong he is, taking on six would just mean swapping a frog for a monkey."

Listening to the discussion of the four, Shang Ren's face darkened.

What kind of people are these, am I getting old? Why do I feel so out of place with my teammates?

What's all this nonsense about taking on six, frogs, and monkeys? This is the world championship!!

The highest level of competition!!

Do you have any idea how hard I worked to fight my way back into the world championship team? Show some respect!!!

"The team's atmosphere has been completely corrupted by this Fang Yuan," Shang Ren thought, his face still dark.

Since when did the national team start constantly talking about taking on multiples?

Uh... It seems I'm also a victim.

............

Cairo's strength was clearly higher than Hera's.

A year ago, when he fought Fang Yuan, his ace was just an average Master Class Mud Puppet Giant.

A year later, this Mud Puppet Giant had ascended to the upper levels of the Master Domain, with its Steel Fire Fists threatening even to Venusaur, requiring extra caution.

This level of power could pose a threat to the Tree Field.

Unfortunately for him, his opponent was not the Second Frog Gardener, but Tang Xinlan's Snow Demon Woman.

This Snow Demon Woman was one of Tang Xinlan's nearly top-level powers.

She was the kind of dominant Pokemon that, even if Venusaur underwent MEGA evolution, would still pose a considerable challenge in battle.

Tang Xinlan was by no means polite. Before Cairo could deploy his ace, she had the Snow Demon Woman repeatedly use strengthening moves as much as possible.

In between, she mixed in Kiss of Absorption to drain the opponent's physical strength.

A typical Fang Yuan strategy for taking on six alone.

And the final result was that even with Cairo's Mud Puppet Giant taking the field, it still couldn't withstand a single Blizzard from Tang Xinlan's Snow Demon Woman.

Defeated by a one-versus-six tactic, again!

Cairo from the Egyptian team was utterly dumbfounded.

All the hardships to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, just for this?

The Egyptian team was completely demoralized. With the Snow Demon Woman's capabilities, she could have been a core member of China's First Team in the previous World Pokémon Alliance conference. This time, how could she casually appear in the Second Team?

Cairo would rather have battled that Venusaur!

At this moment, Hua Nation's bigwigs watching the World Championship were all smiling as they watched the match, four years was enough time for the Hua Nation Trainer domain to advance a level.

If anyone still held the last tournament's standard against any major country or power, they would only be disadvantaging themselves.

In short, Tang Xinlan's battle style was even better than Fang Yuan's, swiftly and stylishly resolving her battles. Just a moment ago, the internet was still singing Fang Yuan's praises, but after one fight, more than half of the spectators switched sides, becoming fans of Tang Xinlan.

"I tried my best," Tang Xinlan said after returning, taking a deep breath.

What she meant was that she tried hard to win one against six and also concealed her strength.

She didn't send out her trump card, Empoleon, and the Snow Demon Woman only showed off her Ice Type skills, saving her Ghost Type abilities.

She looked at Fang Yuan, how about it, that was pretty perfect, right?

"Not bad, but after the one vs. six, your Snow Demon Woman looked too arrogant. That could be improved; if she showed a weak, forced, or struggling expression, the effect might have been even better," Fang Yuan shared his unique experience with his teammates.

Tang Xinlan was silent; she shouldn't have asked Fang Yuan.

Shang Ren and the others were thoroughly convinced, how could someone be like this...

How could such a person become a Ron Award winner, The Fifth King???

Show fatigue after beating a noob? They hadn't seen him pretending to be tired.

"It's my turn," said Mu Fan, eager for the next match to start.

Fang Yuan's Venusaur had Photosynthesis, Rooting, and Ultimate Absorption; Tang Xinlan's Snow Demon Woman could absorb physical strength with her draining kiss. Embarrassingly, Mu Fan also had an Earth Plate Turtle that was nearly at the top level and could replicate Fang Yuan's tactics. Although he couldn't pull off Tree World Coming, he could copy the Crazy Plant Tactics and Recovery Tactics.

"The target isn't the people." Mu Fan thought to himself.

Soon after, a scene that made the Egyptian team cry out in despair emerged. Under Fang Yuan's lead, the Hua Nation contestants collectively outperformed the human standard, achieving a one vs. six victory in three matches.

"Damn, is our second team really that strong? They can hang the other countries' first teams out to dry. I remember Egypt being quite strong over in Africa, right?"

"World Pokémon Doctor, Dawn Group heiress, Head of the Evergreen Daoist Arena for Hua Nation's Ground series spirits, you aren't paying attention to the lineup of our second team..."

"If the second team is that impressive, imagine how strong the first team is. Can they thrash the Americans?"

The Hua Nation audience was completely ecstatic. Although Hua Nation was one of the five core countries of the Pokémon Alliance, the international status of Hua Nation's Trainers wasn't high. Tourists and international students often faced discrimination in some Western countries, and foreign media loved to smear Hua Nation. Now, instead of pointless arguing, what could be a more powerful retort than seeing the China National Team thrashing national competitors on the world stage?

"Support the Crushing Tactics!!"

"I suggest being more arrogant in the post-match interviews...!"

At this point, Fang Yuan and the others were naturally unaware of the Hua Nation audience's thoughts. The group battles followed the individual ones and began immediately, with Zheng Hongyi taking to the stage for China, while the Egyptian team was led by their captain, Saeed.

"The same order, the same identity," a refreshed Mu Fan remarked after his victory.

During the China-Japan exchange match, it was Zheng Hongyi who lost to the captain of Team 2 of Japan in the group battle. Now, here at the World Championship group matches, he was facing the champion of Egypt... what luck.

Zheng Hongyi said nothing as he took the stage arrogantly.

With his three teammates winning in a dominating fashion, he absolutely couldn't lose.

In this round, pressured by his teammates, Zheng Hongyi performed exceptionally well.

Of course, it had something to do with the so-called champion of Egypt being too weak. Despite having three Attribute Spirits close to the top tier, facing an Interpol agent like Zheng Hongyi, experienced in group battle and having faced Top-Level Combat Power, the Egyptian champion was dealt with swiftly and cleanly.

The Egyptian team severely underestimated the power of China's Second Team; this match was not much different from a crushing defeat.

"Huh, four consecutive victories. Doesn't that give us 8 points and a direct win?"

"Shang Ren hasn't even taken the stage yet... I was still looking forward to the platform matches," remarked the audience in various discussions.

When Zheng Hongyi came back, he just silently patted Shang Ren on the shoulder. Listen, even though you didn't go on stage, people are still talking about you.

"I... damn..." Shang Ren almost spewed blood. They were really winning four in a row.

How could that champion of Egypt be so bad, not even having a single Top-Level Combat Power?

He's not even as good as Japan's second team! So weak!!
