Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Letting Dragonite use the Silver Feather and Milotic train in the Sea of Origin was naturally a must.

This was another purpose of Fang Yuan's visit here.

However, there was another matter.

"Let's not talk about that for now, Manafei, take a look at this for me," Fang Yuan said.

Fang Yuan pulled over his backpack, took out the Spirit egg inside, and showed it to Manafei.

"This is a Spirit egg I obtained by accident. Human instruments couldn't detect anything about it, can you tell what type it is?" Fang Yuan asked expectantly, holding the hatching device.

Manafei was the only known Phantom Elf that he knew could lay eggs, so it was definitely right to ask it.

"This is..."

Manafei looked at the Spirit egg without any patterns and showed a surprised expression.

It slowly approached the Spirit egg, its curious large eyes observing intently, its expression becoming more and more astonished.

Although Darkrai couldn't see through the secrets of the Spirit egg, Manafei seemed to have made an unexpected discovery about the egg's uniqueness.

It closed its eyes, attempting Mind Induction with the Spirit egg, but quickly opened them again and shook its head.

It had failed.

But it was even more certain now.

"Manafei, what do you think?"

"The Spirit inside the egg, its life level is not inferior to mine," Manafei spoke.

"What?"

Fang Yuan was taken aback and looked at the Spirit egg, his guess apparently confirmed. Indeed, this egg at the very least, was a Phantom Beast Egg!

"Do you know how to hatch it?"

"When it wants to come out, it will come out. But the main reason might be a lack of nutrition," Manafei said, tilting its head.

"Typically, eggs of Elves with higher life levels start off like this. As they absorb enough nutrition, patterns will emerge on the shell, and that's when it should be close to being born," Manafei said.

"So, to hatch it, we need to prepare enough nutritional substances."

"Moreover, although it might absorb any kind of nutrition, it's best to provide it with the nutrients it needs the most."

"For instance, I originally preferred the emotional waves emitted by Water-type Spirits over the power of the great sea," Manafei admitted, somewhat embarrassingly.

"Is that so?"

Fang Yuan understood, so to hatch the Spirit egg, he still needed to keep battling continuously.

"Thank you, Manafei," Fang Yuan said.

With Manafei's explanation, Fang Yuan somewhat figured it out. It wasn't that his hatching method was incorrect, just that the conditions for hatching a Phantom Beast Egg were more stringent than those for an Ordinary Elf egg!

"Did you hear that, Darkrai?" Fang Yuan said to a certain Poké Ball.

"Ah, ah, ah."

Before the Poké Ball could respond, Manafei suddenly shouted, looking at Fang Yuan and at the Spirit egg, utterly puzzled.

It had just realized, why an egg of an Elf with a life level as noble as itself was picked up by Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was just too lucky.

It had been so cautious and meticulous in trying to breed with Elves of the same level, yet Fang Yuan had easily found one, and perhaps the Spirit hatching from the egg would even call Fang Yuan "father." Thinking of this, Manafei felt unbalanced in its heart.

Why, oh why?

"I heard it."

While Manafei was envious, Darkrai emerged from the Poké Ball on its own, looking at the Spirit egg in Fang Yuan's hand. So, it needed to hatch through battle after all.

The egg it found, just how sacred was it? Now not only Fang Yuan was curious, but Darkrai itself was very curious as well.

Compared to Fossil Spirits, this egg, though given to Fang Yuan by it, was something it also held dearly, as if it were its own child.

Now that it had come out from Nightmare Island, of course, it needed to ensure the egg's safety, for it to hatch smoothly and healthily.

Darkrai nodded silently, having decided to accompany Fang Yuan to challenge more powerful beings to speed up the egg's hatching.

Meanwhile, as Darkrai appeared, Manafei, who just a moment ago had been envious, froze on the spot.

With the appearance of Darkrai, Manafei, the Prince of the Sea, quickly backed away, looking at Darkrai with an exaggerated expression.

It was already enough that the life level of an egg was not inferior to its own.

Now another entity had appeared… and this individual, it seemed even stronger than Manafei!!

And this individual, was it actually coming out of Fang Yuan's Poké Ball?? Oh, God, what exactly was happening.

It had been only a year since they last met, how did Fang Yuan manage to subjugate such a monster.

Although Darkrai's strength might not match that of Lugia, Kyogre, or the Thunder God, Manafei could sense its extraordinariness.

At this moment, Manafei's worldview completely collapsed, staring at Fang Yuan in shock.

"Ah... sorry, I forgot to introduce you. Manafei, Darkrai is another Spirit that helped Dragonite with its sleepwalking. It is the Nightmare God."

"Darkrai, before you, it was Manafei that helped suppress Dragonite's sleepwalking. It's the Prince of the Sea."

Fang Yuan saw that Manafei was scared by Darkrai and hurriedly introduced them to each other.

The next second, Darkrai, the Nightmare God, nodded to Manafei.

And Manafei, still in a daze, nodded back, and then, had an epiphany.

Fang Yuan was strong.

He could... He could actually subdue such Spirits.

No wonder he was the Trainer it had set its sights on.

Originally, Manafei had wanted to nurture He Xiaomai to surpass Fang Yuan, but now Manafei understood that it was impossible. Fang Yuan was on the same level as it, no, he had even surpassed it.

A Phantom Beast Egg, a Nightmare God, behind Fang Yuan and Eevee, there was also a powerful being that Manafei couldn't comprehend. Manafei felt that Fang Yuan was even more unfathomable.
