Greatest Pokémon Trainer

June 2020, the end of June.

Magic City.

Sun and Moon Forest.

Fang Yuan Institute.

By the time Fang Yuan returned, it was already nearing July.

When Fang Yuan left, he left Venusaur behind to renovate the place.

Now, more than half a month later, the Fang Yuan Institute has been completely transformed by Venusaur's renovation.

And near the institute, the completed Fossil Elf Sanctuary, which needed greenery, was well tended by Venusaur.

As for the Sun and Moon Forest, its vast area is still under renovation by Venusaur, but work has already begun.

"Venusaur!!! Venusaur!!!"

In the backyard of the institute, Venusaur and Luo Ke grumbled that Fang Yuan, the Trainer, was too heartless.

He actually left it alone here for more than half a month, with only one video call during that time!

Is there no love between them anymore! What about being each other's angels as promised!

Under the sun, the Ninetales Luo Ke, lying on a wooden chair with sunglasses on, glanced at the big guy watering plants and complaining and cleared its throat.

This cough contained a lot of meaning.

Venusaur immediately understood.

"Venusaur (Although Fang Yuan left me alone at the institute, I have to admit, this training task is awesome)!!!"

"Venusaur!! (I feel that my strength has greatly improved.)"

"Is that so, not bad at all," said Fang Yuan's voice, coming from not too far from Venusaur, having just returned to the institute and overheard Garlic Turtle slandering him behind his back, damn it.

It's been just over half a month, hey!

And didn't they stay in touch by phone after all!

Look at Xiaozhi, who leaves his Pokémon to fend for themselves for more than a decade without a single mention.

"Venusaur!! (Mutter mutter.)" Seeing Fang Yuan, Venusaur's eyes smiled, well, it still counts on Fang Yuan to gift it the Super Stone, taking it to see the beloved Shaymin in the future.

...

After Fang Yuan came back, he praised Venusaur for a long time, then immediately asked Butler Luo Ke about the recent situation at the institute.

All was well.

After confirming that there were no major situations, Fang Yuan took only a short rest before calling over all his Pokémon.

In the spacious backyard of the institute, Eevee, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Monferno, Gengar, Milotic, Dragonite, Venusaur, Rotom, Ditto, Klink all stood together obediently, waiting for Fang Yuan to start the meeting.

These were all the senior members.

On the side, Luo Ke, who was teasing the Rock Puppy, also came over to watch the excitement.

It ultimately could not resist its training spirit, nurturing spirit, and protective spirit, after cultivating Regal Garlic Venusaur, it started working on the Rock Puppy.

Fang Yuan didn't know what trick Luo Ke used to woo the Rock Puppy into a daze, but since Luo Ke was willing to train, he let it take over training for a while.

Fang Yuan didn't believe that a simple-minded Rock Puppy, with its Alaska-like temperament, only knowing how to charge around, could be trained by Luo Ke to do anything fancy.

Apart from Luo Ke, Darkrai, the Nightmare God, who brought over five Fossil Spirits from Nightmare Island for a walk, also came over to join the fun.

There were never such lively events on Nightmare Island.

"Alright, it's been who knows how long since the last Fang Yuan Conference."

"A year? Perhaps longer, in any case, the event that was delayed due to the world competition should be resumed!"

"Excited?!!" Fang Yuan said.

"Bwoo..." Eevee yawned sleepily.

"Grumble grumble..." the Glutton rubbed its growling stomach.

The Dragonite, with a silver feather around its neck, took this opportunity to sneak a peek at Milotic beside it.

The rest of the Pokémon, indifferent-face.jpg.

Fang Yuan: "?"

MMP.

Won the World Champion and already so high and mighty, not taking the team competition seriously anymore??

Fang Yuan glanced at Monferno and nodded in satisfaction, at least, at least Brother Monkey had some fighting spirit.

However, although spirited, Monferno was still quite troubled, exaggeratedly so. Eevee and the others were excusable, but how did Milotic and Dragonite become so strong?

Sigh...

Monferno took a deep breath, in any case, this Fang Yuan conference must be the one with the highest gold content yet, right? With Milotic and Dragonite having such strength, if it could take first place again, wouldn't that be even better!

Fight!

"Rotom, update!"

Fang Yuan announced loudly, "Version update, Fang Yuan conference 5.0, fully integrating with the elegant competition of the Fang Yuan Cup in August, rules changed to elegant competition mode..."

"Surprised or not, unexpected or not, excited or not, thrilling or not, happy or not."

Eevee, Exploding Magnet Monster, Monferno, Glutton, Dragonite, Venusaur, and other Pokémon: ???????????

Milotic: (✿◡‿◡)

Although a little embarrassed, compared to the other Pokémon who were rather shocked by the news, it seemed to have gained an advantage.

Because Fang Yuan had told it about participating in the elegant competition performances in August, Milotic had taken the time to secretly practice for elegant battles.

"Well, any Pokémon without a partner can only rely on their own strength to compete, signup is voluntary... I won't explain the rest, meeting adjourned. For the rules of the elegant competition, ask Rotom. Oh, and for this conference's champion, besides the basic rewards, I can fulfill one wish of theirs, as long as it's within my capability, consider it an extra reward."

"Also, no need to rush; the conference will give you plenty of preparation time, let's say 10 days, the competition starts after 10 days. If there are any technical issues during that period, you can consult me." Fang Yuan said cheerfully, hands clasped behind his back, turned around, and left in one fell swoop, leaving the Pokémon in a state of disarray.

...

The time Fang Yuan left for these Pokémon was, first, indeed for them to train specifically on their own, and second, because in the last few days, he also had to fulfill the promise he made to Darkrai.

The Fossil Elf Sanctuary was completed, and the five Fossil Spirits brought by Darkrai immediately went to live there.

Compared to the environment of the institute, that place was more suitable for them.

Besides that, it was time to revive the 78 Fossil Spirit fossils Darkrai and the others brought from Nightmare Island... This was no small feat.

To revive them... to settle them... all required a certain amount of time.

However, before starting the work, Fang Yuan took out his phone and sent a message to School sister Xie Qingyi, inviting her to come visit the institute in a few days.

He had prepared a surprise for her.

As for what the surprise was, while he was cultivating in the Spirit World, the China Association had accidentally collected a Super Stone from abroad, and this Super Stone belonged to Decidueye.

Although there were trainers from the Dragon Lineage with greater strength, without a doubt, such things must first be experienced by one's own people. If it wasn't for the fact that there was only one Key Stone available now, Fang Yuan felt he could even gift the over-evolution tools to Sister Xie.

After all, she had helped him significantly in the early stages, saving his life... allowing him to join her research team for practice... not to mention helping with Eevee's data...

If it wasn't for Sister Xie, he wouldn't have encountered Rotom... or Dragonite.

You could say, without Xie Qingyi, there would be no Fang Yuan today.

If Fang Yuan remembered correctly, Sister Xie's Beginner Elf was Decidueye, so Fang Yuan had already decided, this Super Stone, he would apply for it himself and give it to Xie Qingyi. As for the Key Stone, they would think of a way when more were available.
