Greatest Pokémon Trainer

"What if..."

"Watch the match!"

Doctor Qizao said, not thinking too much.

During The Beast War era, countless sinister experiments on Pokemon life were banned. Such cruel experiments yielded nothing, and with the current research domain, it's even less likely.

Doctor Qizao understood that what he mentioned was only theoretical. There were too many impractical theories in the world, and he wasn't naive enough to believe that such epoch-making research results could emerge easily... after all, even he had no clue.

Because he knew the depth, he was aware of the difficulty of this path.

If Fang Yuan could study evolution beyond limits with just a freely-evolving Eevee, then he, a Dr. Loen Award recipient, might as well crash into an Onix and die.

Evolution beyond limits... Any researcher who could achieve such a thing, and find a definite and viable method, would be a god, a god who pioneers a new Spirit Era, worth ten Dr. Loen Awards!!

Doctor Qizao's eyes blazed with fervor, then he shook his head again.

................

Every corner was discussing Eevee's free evolution.

Different groups saw different research values.

But Fang Yuan had long stopped caring about these things. Back when his status was insignificant, he needed Sister Xie to manage a double identity for Eevee, to conceal the truth, to prevent Eevee from being coveted, to avoid getting entangled in too much trouble. But now, they were World Champions, Dr. Loen Award winners.

"So cool," exclaimed Sister Xie, unable to help herself as she looked at Eevee upon Fang Yuan's return. "To be precise, also very cute. It's a pity your Eevee is a girl... otherwise, it would have made a good match with my Fairy Eevee..."

"Bwoo!" Eevee on Fang Yuan's shoulder shook its head vigorously. It was only three years old, plus, isn't it better to stick with a smartphone?

"I suspect that my Eevee will spend its life with a smartphone," Fang Yuan teased.

In his team, the only Pokemon that might find a partner seemed to be the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster.

But though the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster was a great battler and chef, capable of winning another's stomach, its lack of gender and having two kids out of wedlock probably counted against it, haha.

"Praise to the Cloth God!"

On the other side, Jiang Li, Su Shu, and others were influenced by Shang Ren, all coming to worship Eevee. Goodness, this Eevee was a monster raised by Fang Yuan, seemingly cute, but with exaggerated strength and potential.

"Bwoo bwoo (Stay calm, stay calm)!" Eevee jumped off Fang Yuan's shoulder and ran back to its seat. Defeating a Japanese Champion was one thing... wait until they see Mega Evolution and Z-Moves, then they'll be Double Teaming again. Eevee had already seen through everything.

Meanwhile, the match continued.

With the Japanese Champion Kamiki's defeat, the Japanese Team had completely lost their morale.

With the loss of their admiral, and China Team still having a full-strength Jiang Li, Su Shu left, the Japanese Team had no idea how to approach the tournament.

Of course, that was assuming they could even get to the tournament stage.

The second match: China's Su Shu VS Japan's Nakamura Kenshin.

Nakamura Kenshin was very strong, even stronger than Su Shu who wasn't using Superpower.

Unfortunately for him, the external amplifiers proved more superior. Su Shu used the limit of his tolerance for Superpower Amplification throughout, escalating his team's overall strength to another level, which undoubtedly led to Nakamura's quick defeat.

Of course, after that, Su Shu himself felt dizzy too. Although his Pokemon weren't all out of fighting capacity, he himself had lost the ability to fight.

In such a state, he couldn't command or use Superpower Amplification in a short time. He might need to meditate for a while to recover.

Su Shu fought so fiercely because he felt the Japanese Team might not make it to the tournament round, so there was no need to conserve physical strength. He followed Fang Yuan's lead and ended the battle as quickly as possible.

The third match, Jiang Li VS Japanese Dragon King Longzaki, the outcome was naturally clear.

In the group battle, China Team had one loss and one win.

In the end, as Su Shu speculated, the Japanese Team didn't end up with an 8:0 defeat, but a score of 8:2 was not very flattering either, and they didn't make it to the tournament round.

"This Japanese Team is definitely not weak. Kamiki has two strong aces, Nakamura Kenshin's Iaido brings 'fast', 'accurate', and 'ruthless' to the extreme. The main forces, aside from lacking the stamina for too many powerful moves, are otherwise flawless... The other Kings also have a couple of Top Overlords each, but..."

"It's Fang Yuan from the China Team who's the abnormal one, completely disrupting the rhythm of the Japanese Team."

The international Trainers concluded that this World Championship's China Team had two national Champion-level individuals, Jiang Li and Fang Yuan, and Su Shu was also the kind of Trainer who had a chance to threaten national Champion-level competitors.

China's lineup was unprecedentedly luxurious.

"America's team also has the freak Gura. Among the other four Kings, Ghost King Chaks and Flying King Katie, their strength would not be any weaker than Nakamura's... Their lineup is equally freakish."

"It'll be interesting when America's team and China's team meet again..."

"And there's England's Kani, Russia's..."

The audience buzzed with discussion. The players of this World Championship had improved more than just one level compared to the tournament four years ago.

Four years ago, having a Top-Level Combat Power was enough to be considered a first-tier competitor, but now, possessing a second-tier combat strength was necessary to have a chance at becoming a Hall of Fame Trainer. And then there were monsters like Gura, who mastered a Top Level Third Phase combat power. It was truly impressive.
