Greatest Pokémon Trainer

```

May 3 is a date worth celebrating.

The Chinese National Team II, after consecutively defeating the champion teams of four nations, successfully dominated the seventh region of the World Championships and advanced to the decisive championship tournament.

As the referee announced the final result, the audience from Hua Nation erupted.

"So, does this mean that in the upcoming decisive championship tournament, our Chinese team will have two teams?"

"Hahaha, wouldn't it be something if the final champion and runner-up were both from our side?"

"Dream on! But what if the first match of the decisive championship tournament is a civil war..."

Inside Rainbow Arena, the audience excitedly discussed.

Feeling the heated atmosphere of the venue, the members of China's Second Team, though smiling, did not let themselves relax.

"The real challenge is up next, everyone be prepared," Fang Yuan said as soon as he returned.

Winning the regional championship was expected.

Breaking through the preliminary round was merely a beginning.

Regional preliminaries were far from being the true stage of the World Championships.

Including Attribute competitions that the first team participated in, they could at most be considered a warm-up for the decisive championship tournament.

On May 7, the decisive championship tournament involving 32 strong teams from around the world will be most thrilling part of the World Championships.

That is where the titans will clash, a battlefield for the gods.

"Okay!"

Shang Ren, Mu Fan, Tang Xinlan, and Zheng Hongyi, the four, responded. After all, with Fang Yuan leading their team, a monster trainer who is no less formidable than any of the Four Heavenly Kings of other nations, their ambitions naturally soared.

Having witnessed Fang Yuan's Cloth God taking on three of Longzaki Heavenly King's Pokémon single-handedly, and seeing today's Monferno spectacularly defeating all comers, they were brimming with confidence.

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

On the same day, the Fighting Attribute event concluded, with Xu Haoran finishing in fourth place, narrowly missing a medal.

In the Dark Type competition, Hua Nation likewise did not win any awards.

The following day, both the Poison series and the Steel Series competitions kicked off one after another, with Hua Nation still not winning any awards.

On May 5, the last two Attribute competitions, Ground and Fairy Type, will take place.

"Ahhhhh."

Fang Yuan, having rested for two days after the regional matches, lay on his bed and repeatedly went over the 16 Attribute events that had already taken place, scratching his head in frustration.

"This is too hard."

"I can't solve this problem," said Fang Yuan, with his phone in hand, then rolled over. Among the 80 trainers from the 16 seeded teams, although one couldn't say that everyone had a top-level combat power Pokémon, they were almost there, with only a few exceptions.

Even without top-level combat power, these individuals could easily bring out Pokémon capable of briefly holding their ground against top-level fighters.

Without any unexpected developments, the teams advancing from the preliminaries would face against the 16 seeded teams in the first round of the decisive championship tournament.

After giving it some thought, Fang Yuan realized the pressure on Little Tang, Little Mu, and Little Zheng would dramatically increase during the championship tournament. No matter which player they faced, their odds of winning would not be high; only Shang Ren could possibly hold on by a thread.

In such a situation, the order of appearance was extremely crucial. Before, they could muddle through with a draw, but now it's indeed a battle of wits and psychological tactics between the two teams.

Not to mention, if Shang Ren were to face the strongest opponent by chance, and Fang Yuan confronted the weakest, there was a high likelihood that their team could be defeated with a score of 8:2.

In the preliminaries, China's Second Team won with impressive scores of 8:0 and 8:2 against other nations, which suggested the possibility of a comeback in the final championship.

"Will it stop at the top 32, or the top 16? Is there a chance to get into the top 8?"

As the captain of the second team, Fang Yuan was contemplating how far his team could go. Although, if all else fails, they could still spar with the first team, Fang Yuan naturally hoped that the second team could progress further.

By doing so, he would have more opportunities to battle with his Pokémon.

Working for both the first and second teams, he was earning double the experience and wages, which was quite satisfying.

"Time to go, Rotom, call for Fang Yuan!!!" Just as Fang Yuan was lost in deep thought, Rotom suddenly flew over.

After the regional preliminaries ended, there was a three-day rest before the final championship, and the trainers from the sixteen champion teams could now choose their victory rewards.

The championship reward was the top-tier quality Spirit egg that Mu Fan had mentioned before.

There were 151 Spirit eggs to choose from, and Fang Yuan had already looked over all the information regarding the types of available eggs, including The three great families, quasi-gods, various attributes, and Pokémon from different regions.

Yet, even so, Fang Yuan had no interest in taming even a quasi-god at this point.

With Pokémon he had already tamed but not yet fully trained, he wasn't too keen on nurturing new ones unless they came with the corresponding Super Stone, just like his Garlic Head did.

But in reality, after receiving special intelligence for so long, this special intelligence unit had not found even one new Super Stone and Key Stone.

Now, Fang Yuan realized that finding Super Stones was not as easy as he had imagined, especially since the special intelligence unit only had slightly more authority than Rotom, which had only found one Stone. It was normal that they hadn't found any in a short time.

However, Fang Yuan was not in a rush. He now possessed mysterious scientific technology and had a ready Beedrill Mega-Stone at his disposal. After the World Championship, he might attempt to replicate the Sundial from the Pokémon World's Kalos Region, in Lumiose City, to create a Super Stone detection device.

With the ability to detect the wave motion of Super Stones, searching for those hidden around the world should become much less difficult.

In any case, at this point, unless he encountered a Pokémon he particularly liked, with a personality that suited him to a tee, it was probably only mythical or Legendary Pokémon that could spark Fang Yuan's desire to tame them.

Therefore, while the other 79 advancing competitors had all chosen their Pokémon from the egg information provided, Fang Yuan still hadn't made his choice and instead told the hosts directly that he wanted to visit the breeding facility in person to select an egg.

Fang Yuan thought that since he wasn't interested in the textual information about Spirit eggs, he might as well see the actual condition of the eggs in person.

Other Trainers might not understand the merits of a Spirit egg, thinking the parents' information was more valuable, but it was different for Fang Yuan.

Being a Psychic, a Wave-guide Messenger, and the holder of the Power of the Heart, even if he was interacting with a mere Spirit egg, he could roughly judge its compatibility with himself.

If he encountered an egg that resonated strongly with Mind Induction, he would choose it for careful nurturing.

If not, selecting a docile creature to keep his parents company was also a decent option.

"Then let's set off," Fang Yuan said to Rotom. "Let's hurry, so we can catch Sister Xie's match in the afternoon."

This morning was the Ground type competition, and this afternoon would feature the Fairy type — a time when Sister Xie was sure to shine. After all, among the 136 participating countries and several hundred Four Heavenly Kings, there were only two Fairy Kings.

.........

Alliance Island, Silver City, The 18th Breeding Base.

Fang Yuan had made an appointment and arrived here with his Eevee.

After getting off the vehicle, Fang Yuan thanked the driver, casually closed the car door, and turned his gaze to the vast breeding base in front of him.

"It's really luxurious, way more so than the breeding house where I bought you."

"??" Eevee on Fang Yuan's shoulder wasn't pleased to hear that.

"Too bad, no matter how luxurious the breeding base is, we won't find another Pokémon as outstanding as you."

Eevee: (｡◕‿◕｡)ﾉ?

May 5th, clear skies. After casually petting Eevee to maintain its daily good mood, Fang Yuan saw the person in charge walking out from the breeding facility and went up to meet them.
