Greatest Pokémon Trainer

"Come on, you've just recovered, it's better for you to rest a bit."

"Plus, our opponent hasn't announced the rules yet."

Fang Yuan pushed Monferno back.

This damn creature, after getting the Fire of Life, Victini and Menas combo, started to become reckless.

It's already been through two consecutive battles, isn't that enough?

It's about time for Eevee and the others to get back into the fight too.

"You... I... it..." Uncle Shen Gong pointed at Monferno, weren't you just fighting twenty minutes ago!

How did you arrive so quickly!

I wasn't ready yet.

And this Monferno, how come it's alive and kicking again? You must be pretending, just to scare people!

"It's recovered already?"

Shen Gong's expression was strange, he still didn't believe that Monferno could have fully recovered in just a dozen minutes.

"Monferno? It's doing fine, all thanks to the Fire of Life."

Fang Yuan scratched his head and said.

Even Master Tao Xiuying, who has had the Fire of Life for decades, wouldn't believe this claim.

Tao Xiuying: ₍₍(̨̡‾᷄ᗣ‾᷅)̧̢₎₎ I didn't know the Fire of Life was this powerful??

Or is it that it never really showed its full power when it was with me?

Only Fang Yuan's Pokemon knew what was really going on.

It's all thanks to the secretly present Victini and Menas within the Poké Ball...

Injuries from the fourth door... are much easier to heal than those from the fifth, a continuous treatment for 10 minutes is enough.

"Forget it."

Shen Gong took a deep breath, it probably wasn't a full recovery, so no need to worry.

He said, "I am the Gatekeeper of the eighth gate, Shen Gong, and the rule for this gate is 12vs1; I will send out one Pokemon, while you can send out twelve to fight together."

"My partner is this one."

Fang Yuan had never heard the name Shen Gong before.

He was very unfamiliar with this uncle, but since the man was the Gatekeeper of the eighth gate, he must be quite strong.

This rule... definitely suggests his power.

Challengers can use two teams, but the opponent can only use one Pokemon...

Boom!!!

In the vast rocky region, the ground shattered with a loud noise, and a huge Crystal Steelix emerged from the rocks, looking at Fang Yuan and his group with red pupils.

"Roar!!!" It let out a roaring greeting, and the sweeping foul wind made Fang Yuan and his group take a step back in unison.

What a stench... Not exactly stinky, more like a sour metallic smell.

"Oh no, can't be," as he looked at the sudden appearance of this huge creature and felt its strength, Fang Yuan's mouth twitched.

What is this creature, a Guardian God Level Shiny Steelix? No, wait, this appearance, it doesn't look shiny at all, rather it seems like a regional variant.

Fang Yuan indeed saw a Crystal Onix in the cartoon, but this is the first time he has seen a Crystal Steelix.

A Guardian God, huh.

No wonder it's 12VS1, so what will the ninth gate be? Six Pokemon challenging one Guardian God? And the tenth?

At this moment, Fang Yuan was speechless. How on earth had Fu Hei Brother managed to get through this freakish path?

If it wasn't for Victini, Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Fang Yuan might have already been done for in the previous four gates.

However, it's a pity... all these are just hypotheticals, a smile crept up Fang Yuan's lips. A Guardian God, huh?

In the cartoons, Brock's MEGA Steelix could take a Fire Type Z-Move without much damage. Fang Yuan wondered if this scene could be reenacted in this battle.

......

After President Wen actually invited Shen Gong and the Crystal Steelix to come out, the Twelve Branches in the meeting room had mixed emotions.

There was anticipation, regret, anger.

This Shen Gong really wasn't pulling his own weight, with such good conditions, a little effort could have earned him a spot in the Twelve Branches and then, Hua Nation Association could have had another Guardian God Level Combat Power.

It's a shame, once he passed the Professional Trainer assessment, the man became complacent.

"It's mainly because his talent isn't really up to par, not suited to be a Trainer, his father was the same," Jiang Kui casually said.

"Haha, talent, who can truly speak highly about it?"

"In any case, now he has another chance to battle, and his opponent happens to be Fang Yuan, a Trainer full of talent, potential, and vitality. I wonder if Shen Gong can find some joy in battling again during this fight," Master Qiao Jing said.

President Wen spoke, "If possible, a few years from now, he could also turn up as one of Hua Nation's representatives in the battle of the Guardian Gods."

"However, in this battle, Fang Yuan is going to have a tough time, although Monferno seems to be in good shape, it probably hasn't fully recovered. Armed Magnemite, Super Gengar, Secret Techniques, Dragonite, Milotic... I can't see how these Pokemon could contend with that Steelix," Kong Hai said.

"Not necessarily, if the Secret Techniques hit their mark, if Super Gengar's Destiny Bond hits, and the other Pokemon inflict some damage, a deadlock situation might arise. Considering Fang Yuan's performance in the previous battles, he indeed has the potential to contend with Guardian God Level," Master Qiao Jing said.

If only Monferno could recover seventy or eighty percent... then there would be even more hope... Still, the others found it hard to believe that Monferno had mostly recovered.

......

The location of the eighth gate.

Steelix stood tall on the field, imposing.

Shen Gong smiled, although it had been a long time since his last battle, he still had a solid foundation, and he had studied Fang Yuan's battle style.

If it's a team battle, Fang Yuan should excel at Team-up Tactics and Crowd-control Techniques.
