Greatest Pokémon Trainer

"Uh, I can ask around, what do you need to do?" Jiang Ran asked.

She indeed knew a few people who possessed Banette, including some of the trainers who came to Shanming County this time, but she wasn't sure about their strength.

"It's nothing, just asking." Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

"..." Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran's abilities were too weak, and her perspective was limited; asking her would be of no use, so Fang Yuan decided to ask Jiang Li instead.

It was a pity Jiang Li didn't have a Banette, otherwise, it would have been nice to let him experience using the Super Stone.

Now, only Fang Yuan could casually arrange for the use of a Super Stone. Mega Evolution, regardless of the country, was surely to be prioritized for those with the highest combat power to maximize its effects.

Whether it was a Master level spirit relying on Mega Evolution to possess top-level combat power or a top-level combat power figure using Mega Evolution to achieve Guardian God Level combat power, the changes brought about were obvious, with the latter gaining greater benefits.

Of course, although Jiang Li's current strength wasn't very strong, as a member of the Four Heavenly Kings and a Champion, his growth was only a matter of time, and it was comparable to the Twelve Earthly Branches. Eventually, items like the Key Stones, Super Stones would still be passed down to their generation.

So it wasn't out of the question to select trainers with sufficient talent and potential for early investment, after all, like moves and abilities, Mega Evolution requires day and night practice to master.

Fang Yuan already had plans for the distribution of the collected Super Stones within his country.

Since there was only one Key Stone, they could only start by using it in the form of an experience card for those with peak combat power to try.

Fang Yuan believed that although the current situation was rather bleak, he would one day, like the wealthy and handsome Da Wu, casually throw out a few sets of over-evolution tools.

......

From a little after one in the morning until six in the morning, Jiang Ran spent five hours to finally seal this Spirit World Mystery, with Fang Yuan and Teacher Lin Feng also lending a hand. In front of others, Jiang Ran didn't reveal Fang Yuan's identity and kept referring to him as "Quartz".

Although this Spirit World Mystery was sealed, the potential dangers still existed; it was only a temporary solution. More fractures might appear in the same spot, so the best solution would be either to have a ranger reside here permanently or to relocate Jade Stone Village altogether.

Early in the morning.

Teacher Lin Feng, along with those three students, had already fallen asleep, while Jiang Ran had only dozed off a little before starting to check for any possible loopholes in the seal.

As for Fang Yuan, he hadn't slept at all. As a Psychic, a Wave-guide Messenger, he was brimming with energy—he even had time to ride his Dragonite nearby to buy breakfast.

"Here, want some breakfast?" Fang Yuan, carrying several cups of soy milk and a bag of fried dough sticks, greeted Jiang Ran.

"...Where did you buy this from?"

"Shanming County," Fang Yuan said. Taking a round trip on Dragonite just took a few minutes, a speed that not many trainers could replicate.

"Thank you, but no need." Although she saw that Fang Yuan bought several portions, Jiang Ran really didn't feel hungry and declined.

Then... because he was practicing martial arts and was in a growing phase, Fang Yuan, with a substantial appetite, ate all the breakfast. As it turned out, even though he bought a lot, he didn't waste any food.

Jiang Ran: "..."

"Do you know the situation with the Spiritual Realm Fracture near Huanggang Village?" After finishing breakfast and wiping his mouth with a napkin, Fang Yuan turned to Jiang Ran and asked.

"I haven't been there yet... I have very little information," Jiang Ran said.

The Spiritual Realm Fracture outside Huanggang Village corresponded to a special location where a top-level Flower Rock Monster was sealed. Bug Queen Ye Hui was guarding that place.

"You're going there?" Jiang Ran asked. "I heard that the Flower Rock Monster could escape from its seal at any moment. It's better not to get close."

"Is the situation severe?"

"Yes," Master Ye Hui initially predicted the Flower Rock Monster to be top-level, but as the seal loosened, more energy leaked out, making it very likely that its strength is approaching Guardian God Level."

"That means the Flower Rock Monster is probably one of the many Guardian Gods in the Spirit World, just sealed for some reason," Jiang Ran stated seriously.

"It seems quite serious. Apart from Master Ye Hui, are there any other trainers there?" Fang Yuan inquired.

"Master Jiang Liu is also there. She's a Two-Star Professional Trainer," Jiang Ran replied. "Oh, right, she seems to have a Banette, but I don't know how strong it is."

"Thanks~," Fang Yuan turned and waved his hand, saying, "I'll leave this place up to you then, I'm going to take a trip over there."

Jiang Ran: "Ah!!!"

"I already said it was very dangerous, why does Fang Yuan still want to go there?"

Although she was much weaker than Fang Yuan, Jiang Ran immediately worried about Fang Yuan's safety. She was very clear that Fang Yuan was a national treasure level person now, and there couldn't be any mishaps.

.........

Two-Star Professional Trainer Jiang Liu, Fang Yuan didn't have a deep impression, but he knew of Jiang Liu's child.

At the moment, Ditto had already returned to the Poké Ball, and Rotom had also retreated back into the phone, helping Fang Yuan investigate the data.

Jiang Liu, a Two-Star Professional Trainer, female, 44 years old, was considered an old two-star master. Her team had more than one top-level combat power, with considerable strength.

Hearing the information provided by Jiang Ran, Fang Yuan was considering whether or not to go to Huanggang Village. But just then, a call from Jiang Li suddenly came.

"Hello," said Jiang Li, "I heard from Jiang Ran that you're still there? The latest information— that Flower Rock Monster is very likely a Guardian God from the ancient era of the Spirit World, sealed long ago. Stop messing around and leave immediately, leave it to the professionals."

"Guardian God...?" Fang Yuan said, "Is it that fierce? Can Master Ye Hui and Master Jiang Liu handle it?"

Jiang Li said, "Generally speaking, just after breaking the seal, the Flower Rock Monster would hardly be able to exert its full strength. They might not win in a one-on-one battle, but both of them are old masters who master multi-core tactics. They should have no problem handling it as a group."

Fang Yuan said, "Why not send a top-level trainer over then, just to be safer?"

"Do you think top-level trainers are as common as cabbages?" Jiang Li was speechless, "Without full confirmation of the danger level, they generally won't directly employ top-level combat power, as they have other more important tasks."

"I always feel like you guys aren't reliable," Fang Yuan said, "Never mind, let me ask you something. Among your lineage, does any trainer own a Banette?"

"A Banette with strength would preferably be very formidable, like one that has been trained to its species limit," Fang Yuan asked the question he had previously asked Jiang Ran, repeating it to Jiang Li.

"What do you need that for?" Jiang Li wondered, "Our lineage rarely cultivates that kind of spirit. Mainly because the stronger a Banette is, the bigger its grudge—and it is very difficult to deal with. The only one who cultivated a Banette to the top level was Master Jiang Liu, but her Banette's strength has not met the level you mentioned—only about as strong as Gura's Volcarona."

About as strong as Gura's Volcarona... So, a Top Level Third Phase??

Fang Yuan shook his head, damn, why is everyone so weak? They won't be able to unleash the power of the Super Stone at all.

"Only her?"

"Only her," Jiang Li confirmed, "What do you need this for?"

"What kind of person is Master Jiang Liu?"

"???" Jiang Li said, "She is my aunt; she's a good person."

"Then there is nothing," Fang Yuan pondered, "Rest assured, I won't act recklessly."

"That's good," Jiang Li nodded, then heard the words "bye-bye" from the other end of the phone.

"..."

"When you're weak, that's called recklessness; when you have a trump card, that's called a strong leg." Fang Yuan hung up the phone and shook his head. How could sending a Super Stone experience card be considered recklessness? That Flower Rock Monster would be just the right challenge to train for Mega Evolution, and he needed to go and provide the two masters with assistance.

Yet, a Flower Rock Monster that was suspected of being at the Guardian God level... This Spirit World Mystery was just too exaggerated. If such a sprite appeared in a small country, a whole city would cool down.

"Hold on, if I can defeat such a formidable sprite, doesn't that mean the Mysterious Elf Egg will immediately hatch??" Fang Yuan suddenly realized. Indeed, it could be possible; after all, the stronger the opponent, the more the elf egg flashed, something Fang Yuan had already verified.

This Flower Rock Monster Guardian God, rather than leaving Master Ye Hui and Master Jiang Liu to struggle against it, he would take it on himself.

"Rotom!"

"You and Dragonite return to Magic City for a moment and call Darkrai over."

With Dragonite's speed, flying from Qi Lu to Magic City, even without going at full force, it would be more than enough in an hour. Moreover, with Rotom following along, Dragonite would not be mistaken for an intruder and be taken down, so Fang Yuan could rest assured sending them over.

"Rotom??" Rotom looked at Fang Yuan, they had agreed to be just friends, so why the sudden craving for its power?

"You don't understand, this is all for the sake of our child," Fang Yuan said.
