Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Four days later.

July 2nd.

Fang Yuan looked at the Pokemon data in his hands and nodded in satisfaction.

After moving the revival device from Demon Capital Fossil Restoration Institute, he finally managed, through four days of hard work, to revive all 78 Fossil Pokemon he brought from Nightmare Island and settled them in properly!

Although he had only been to the Fossil Restoration Institute once or twice, Fang Yuan was very skilled with the machinery there.

Among these 78 Pokemon, there were 8 Tirtouga, 14 Cradily, 12 Archen, 18 Anomalocaris, and 22 Kabutops.

And 4 Fossil Pterosaurs.

Plus the 5 Pokemon that were the earliest to be revived on Nightmare Island and had already been nurtured into Carracosta, Cradily, Multi-Spined Flower Stone Beast, Ancient Armor, and Scyther by Darkrai,

there were now a total of 83 Fossil Pokemon in the Fossil Elf Sanctuary.

These Pokemon, split into 6 clans, are living in six large areas of the reserve.

The variety of fossils from Nightmare Island clearly reflect that the original environment there was close to the sea.

Therefore, fossils of Pokemon such as Regice that lived in the ancient cold lands didn't exist at all.

This was also good; the more complex the types of Pokemon, the more complex the habitat requirements for the Fossil Elf Sanctuary. For now, it seemed just right.

Now that he had helped Darkrai fulfill its wish, Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Darkrai was quite satisfied with the Fossil Elf Sanctuary and was now like a doting father, training those newly revived Fossil Pokemon that were still like babies.

Fang Yuan expressed that it was good as long as the Nightmare God was happy.

However, from this perspective, it seemed quite similar to Luo Kuo...

Speaking of which, Luo Kuo had also taken Rock Puppy to join the hustle and bustle at the Fossil Reserve, right...

Fang Yuan set down the data list organized by Rotom with a deadpan expression and then fell into contemplation; he didn't have any particular thoughts about these Fossil Pokemon.

As long as nothing went wrong, whether they kept living freely there or someday wished to follow trainers suitable for them, Fang Yuan didn't mind.

But with Darkrai managing, there should be no mistakes; maybe in ten years, his institute might enjoy the sweet protection of a Spirit army, just like World Tree Dreams.

"Have I slowly become more dreamlike? It's a pity, apart from the Fossil Pokemon, they have the World Tree and Trilogy Deity Pillar as security guards but on my side, well..."

Fang Yuan shook his head... if only those four fossils could be revived.

In these past days, the most regrettable aspect for Fang Yuan was that those four Destructive Bug fossils still couldn't be revived, not even with the help of Darkrai's Dream Energy.

The Destructive Bug fossils... just like the Mysterious Sprite Egg, conventional methods simply didn't work on them.

As for reviving the Destructive Bug by using other powers, such as utilizing the science of Mystery and Beedrill Mega-stone as an energy core, although Rotom was researching it, there were no results yet.

......…

At ten o'clock in the morning, just as Fang Yuan was about to go to the Fossil Reserve for one last research observation, he happened to receive a call from Sister Xie.

Last time Fang Yuan contacted her, Xie Qingyi was conducting research with her team in Moon Cave Domain, so the two agreed to meet after her side was done.

As Fang Yuan learned, after the end of the World Cup, Xie Qingyi seemed to return to her previous state, half-research, half-training.

Her research was still focused on exploring the secrets of Domains related to the Fairy attribute, which also didn't hinder the advancement of a trainer's strength, especially since she specialized in Fairy Type...

Xie Qingyi's research mode was once Fang Yuan's aspiration, leading a research team in and out of Big Mystery locations, studying secrets...

Fang Yuan even made efforts towards this, trying to find teammates, but his enthusiasm lasted only three minutes before being distracted by other things.

However, Fang Yuan understood that his fleeting enthusiasm was purely because others didn't give him face...

Back when Fang Yuan invited some geniuses to join the research team as a university researcher without much fame, he now thought it was no surprise they didn't agree.

So, not having succeeded in forming a research team, Fang Yuan had an epiphany.

Compared to that research model, he seemed more suited to replicating research achievements from his memory... Rotom was his true love.

"Truly, only Pokemon can be relied upon," Fang Yuan reflected as he was going downstairs, bumping into the Eevee who had returned from its morning workout.

Eevee was panting and climbing the stairs from the first floor to the second, its long ears twitching as it passed by Fang Yuan.

These past few days, Eevee had been working very hard, for the Fifth Fang Yuan Conference in six days... To be precise, for the reward of the Fifth Fang Yuan Conference, Eevee wanted another first place.

The extra reward was a wish, and Eevee already had an idea about it.

Eevee scoffed, just Coordination Ability, right? If Milotic thought she would have the upper hand with that, she was way too young! Did she forget who trained her Coordination Ability?

```

Don't understand how terrifying the ability to perform five tasks with a focused mind can be?

It's said that with each generation of conferences, a new god emerges while older deities like Cloth God are nerfed, but this time Eevee has decided to fight back.

To let them know who's the real boss.

"Why didn't you use Swap Field to come upstairs today?"

Fang Yuan picked up Eevee as it passed by, curious.

"Bwoo!!" Eevee flailed with its limbs, demanding to be put down.

"Sister Xie is coming over, come with me to meet her."

"Bwoo!! (Go by yourself!!)"

Eevee made a fierce gesture, signaling that after its morning exercise, it was time for Eevee and its four Substitutes to team up for a gaming session.

Meeting someone was a task requiring no skill, and Fang Yuan even wanted a Pokémon to accompany him, how unambitious.

"No response means you agree."

Eevee: ???

...

Ultimately, Eevee failed to resist and was carried by Fang Yuan on his shoulder to meet Xie Qingyi.

Both the Fang Yuan Institute and the Fossil Elf Sanctuary were established within the Sun and Moon Forest.

The Sun and Moon Forest, although called a small Secret Location, is not small in size.

After all, this 'small' is relative to Earth space and the human continent.

For any regular Trainer, the Sun and Moon Forest could be considered a massive natural labyrinth.

Fortunately, the Pokémon within this natural labyrinth, under the leadership of the Thousand-year Gengar, are quite docile and can coexist peacefully with outsiders.

Thus, the Ranger Defense Line established outside several entrances to the forest connecting to the city is actually rather unnecessary.

When Fang Yuan arrived at the Ranger Defense Line, he spotted Sister Xie from afar.

Beneath the sunlight, Xie Qingyi's slightly curled tea-colored hair flowed to her shoulders, and she wore a black trench coat. Around her neck, she donned a delicate silver collar inlaid with a small Ice Gemstone, which protected her from the light and heat.

Compared to the bookish Sister Xie from three or four years ago, she now looked much more mature... especially after changing her hairstyle.

"Sister Xie... why did you switch to long hair..."

When Fang Yuan arrived, he immediately noticed her image had changed.

Long hair looks so ugly.

Xie Qingyi gazed at Fang Yuan and Eevee with eyes as clear as spring water and pondered before saying, "I heard from Tang Xinlan that long hair suited me better... is there a problem?"

Tang Xinlan? You've chosen the wrong path.

"No, it's just that I think short hair is more suitable for exploring secret locations," Fang Yuan said.

"Bwoo!!" Eevee expressed disbelief.

Fang Yuan changed the subject, "Sorry to keep you waiting; by the way, I was about to visit the new Fossil Reserve outside the institute. Do you want to come?"

He hadn't told Xie Qingyi about the Super Stone yet; he wanted to retain a sense of mystery.

The Fossil Reserve is quite spacious, which would be perfect for experiencing Mega Evolution, and there's enough room for a battle!

"Bwoo!!" Eevee tapped Fang Yuan, suggesting that since she'd come all the way here, couldn't he at least invite her to have water or a meal at the institute first?

Who in their right mind would be interested in visiting an ugly bunch of Fossil Spirits?

"A Fossil Reserve?" Xie Qingyi's eyes lit up, "You mean resurrected Fossil Spirits?"

"Yes, all recently revived."

Since the dawn of the Fossil Resurgence Domain by Fang Yuan, numerous Researchers have shown interest in this field, including Xie Qingyi.

Especially since the world's first Fossil Restoration Institute was established in Demon Capital and the leading doctor was Fang Yuan, it was natural for her to want to get a head start in understanding it.

Maybe in the future, Fairy Pokémon might be resurrected from fossils.

Even if it's not her main research field, she might spend more time in the Fossil Restoration Institute than Fang Yuan, who, ever since establishing this domain, except for urging his successors to develop new revival machines to help him resurrect the Destructive Bug, hardly ever did anything else...

"Sounds fascinating," Xie Qingyi said.

Eevee: You're really going? ???
