Chapter 867: Chapter 726: ZI Wan's Prediction_1
Mega Evolution... MEGA Evolution... Million Evolution... Evolution beyond limitations...
In any case, the name is no longer important.
The moment Fang Yuan's Super Gengar demonstrated absolute power, channeling the Power of Spirit Realm, and sweeping everything away with Azure's White Flame, the world had already been shaken by Fang Yuan.
USA, UK, France, Russia, Japan... At this moment, trainers from all around the world went crazy.
It included all the major factions of the Pokémon Alliance, which had never placed more importance on Fang Yuan than at this moment.
Originally, when Fang Yuan successfully researched the Elf Fossil Revival Device, the news, like a bolt from the blue, shocked countless people.
But that was only limited to the academic community.
Now, the Super Evolution System that Fang Yuan announced completely equated to dropping a nuclear bomb in the entire Trainer Domain and the entire Elf Domain.
If popularized... the academic community establishing a "Fang Yuan Award" comparable to the "Ron Award" would be justified.
"If my Charizard..."
"If my Pidgeot..."
"If my Giant Swamp Monster evolves again..."
"Then, it must be able to reach that Domain."
Around the world, trainers stuck at the bottleneck between the Top Tier Domain and the Guardian Deities' Domain were more curious about the Mega Evolution mentioned by Fang Yuan than exploring the secrets of the Mythical beasts or pursuing the traces of Legendary Pokémon.
"I understand."
At the top of the Silver Arena, standing atop the pinnacle structure, Fu Hei, a top trainer from Hua Nation dressed in a black cloak, holding a communicator, nodded silently, "Leave it to me."
Only the safety of Fang Yuan could make him, a top trainer from Hua Nation, temporarily give up guarding the World Tree Mystical Realm and come to the world tournament site.
Next, during and after the World Tournament, it was necessary to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from contacting Fang Yuan. This task, with only Kong Hai responsible, was obviously not enough.
At this moment, Battle God Fu Hei looked towards the field with an annoyed expression, realizing that the new topic about the influence of life power on Pokémon's strength that Fang Yuan talked about, was this it?
Speaking of which, could it be that the special Fossil Pterosaur from the Mount Everest Secret Realm was a result of Mega Evolution?!
Despite having fought the Fossil Pterosaur more times than anyone, why was it Fang Yuan who researched this earth-shattering outcome...???
"Doubting oneselfing..."
Combining the inside information and the current situation, with an odd expression, Fu Hei thought, Fang Yuan was only 20 years old, not yet a college graduate, yet he was about to become one of the Twelve Earthly Branches just by his research achievements? That's so insane.
"Ababa ababa ababa..." The Principal of Magic Big Old in the spectator seats was already tired of jumping, realizing that a life of hacking doesn't need guidance!
......
At this moment, Fang Yuan was almost at the player's seats, the feeling of being the focus of the world... was still so exhilarating.
Since the first round of the decisive championship, he had always felt this kind of attention, and Fang Yuan had gotten used to it. However, this time, he felt an even bigger storm was coming.
Fang Yuan was curious, with the spread of Energy Blocks and the announcement of Mega Evolution, how long would it take for the Trainer Domain on Earth to reach the level of the Pokémon World.
Five years... is that enough?
"Doctor Fang Yuan..."
After returning to the player's seat, just as Fang Yuan was about to give his teammates another lecture on Mega Evolution, Jiang Li and the others hadn't yet recovered from the almost suffocating shock when a sweaty official from the tournament hurried over to tell Fang Yuan that Chairman Antonio really wanted to see him.
"President Antonio..."
Fang Yuan looked back and saw indeed, the Honorary President of the Alliance, the elderly Antonio, had disappeared from the presidential stand.
"Of course," Fang Yuan nodded, "Lead the way."
Although he really wanted to show off his knowledge to Sister Xie and the others, discussing incomprehensible topics such as "Traitor of Dragon Clan Decidueye," "Too bad, Little Jiang, your ace doesn't have the qualification for Mega Evolution," "Hudidi is simply born for Mega Evolution!", "Charizard is going to become a real Dragon!" and so on, it seemed more important at the moment to discuss big business with the Chairman of the League.
After telling the stunned Jiang Li and the others that they didn't need to wait for him for lunch, Fang Yuan called Eevee and quickly followed the official to the meeting room.
......
"President Antonio."
"Doctor Fang Yuan."
Soon, Fang Yuan met the old man with white goatee, nearly a hundred years old.
However, upon meeting Antonio, Fang Yuan discovered that there was a little creature following him; he saw the Illusionary Songstress Meloetta also coming over, peeking behind a chair observing Fang Yuan who just came in.
"Meloetta?"
Fang Yuan looked over.
"Melo..." Upon noticing Fang Yuan's attention, the Meloetta quickly ran out and politely bowed to greet him.
Meloetta: (◡‿◡✿)
"Bwoo!!" Fang Yuan and Eevee could understand that she was saying "hello," and Eevee replied directly on behalf of Fang Yuan with "hello to you too."
And at this moment, Fang Yuan was already sitting down with President Antonio, smiling happily.
"Doctor Fang Yuan, the Mega Evolution you spoke of, is it really a power system that can be popularized?" President Antonio asked with anticipation.
"At least among the top Trainers, it can be," Fang Yuan nodded.
With a wry smile, Antonio said, "You have said before that you hoped to usher in a third wave of Trainers, and at the time, I was shocked but didn't take it seriously. Now it seems, I was wrong."
Mega Evolution could raise the ceiling of a Trainer's strength.
And to lower the threshold for becoming a Trainer… Suddenly, Antonio thought of the Energy Blocks announced by Fang Yuan. Could it be that Fang Yuan had high hopes for such nutritional products?
The direction in which the entire Pokémon Alliance was working hard—could it be that Fang Yuan had truly taken the lead…
With this thought, Antonio couldn't help but ask wistfully, "Doctor Fang Yuan, have you heard of the prophecy by ZI Wan?"
The prophecy by ZI Wan?
Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "Not very clear… ZI Wan, the prophet from France?"
"Yes and no."
Antonio's gaze turned to Fang Yuan as he said, "During The Beast War era, the world was in chaos because of the demonic beasts, and disasters were frequent. At that time, a woman named Aster wished upon a shooting star and encountered a Pokémon resembling a star, Kira Pray."
"Her wish was simple; she hoped to foresee disasters in that chaotic era and possess the power to change them."
"After making her wish, she soon discovered she had a superpower and also developed a special Predictive Ability."
"The current Master ZI Wan in France is the daughter of the protagonist in the story; she inherited her mother's superpower perfectly… becoming the Second Generation ZI Wan."
Fang Yuan's expression changed subtly, Kira Pray?
The Wishing Star that awakens once every 1,000 years with the ability to grant any wish…?
This is indeed one of the rarest Mythical Pokémon.
And to think this Lilac Master encountered the Wishing Star; she's really lucky…
"The First Generation Aster can be said to be a core founder of the Pokémon Alliance. She played a very significant role in ending The Beast War era, but she also passed away early due to the spiritual power she overexerted from making prophecies," Antonio said with regret:
"Before she passed, she made one final prophecy, that Earth would fall into unprecedented disasters due to the arrival of special secret locations..."
"These disasters pointed to the seas drying up, the expansion of the land, torrential rains flooding everything, chaos in time and space leading to the collapse of the world, to the end of all life and the withering of all things, and to the disappearance of light and the eternal night, along with the invasion of Ultra Beasts... An endless list of disasters was prophesied by Master ZI Wan all at once."
"Even if just one of these prophecies is true, it would be an unimaginable disaster for Earth, and the solution provided by Master ZI Wan was the Trainers, who could counter these disasters with their strength," Antonio continued:
"After exploring further, the Pokémon Alliance discovered that these disasters were very similar in nature to the abilities of Legendary Pokémon; therefore, many believe that it is the arrival of these special secret locations and the descent of the Legendary Pokémon that bring disasters with them…" Antonio explained. "To counter these disasters, member nations of the Elf Alliance felt compelled to promote the second wave of the Trainer boom, and are still striving to promote a third wave."
"In the meantime… the Pokémon Alliance has indeed detected anomalies in Earth space…"
"Moreover, the Second Generation ZI Wan also prophesied similar visions, with the first world-class disaster expected to occur in four years…" Antonio said with a worried expression.
"So, when you, Doctor Fang Yuan, said you hoped to herald the coming of the third wave of Trainers, I thought you knew about the prophecy..."
"I had no idea at all," said Fang Yuan, his expression unchanging. The prophecy by ZI Wan was news to him. A disaster resulting from the arrival of a secret location harboring Legendary Pokémon??
That's quite alarming!
Surely it can't be, another misunderstanding like the Prince of the Sea?
But considering the ceaseless squabbling of the Two Fools of Fang Yuan, he thought it not entirely impossible.
Yet, considering the Pokémon like Groudon and Kyogre, which have the power to affect continents and oceans, and the Brilliant God that could instantly deprive the Sun of its light, Fang Yuan felt the chances of Earth's Trainers successfully resisting the threat were practically nil… Maybe not through battle power? Fang Yuan shook his head, thinking they'd just better avoid boiling anything down to bones.
Couldn't the prophecy be a bit more specific?
Antonio was silent; a long time ago, the Pokémon Alliance was divided into two factions: those who believed in the prophecy, and those who were skeptical. Antonio was part of the believers, for the prophecies made by both generations of ZI Wan had so far been 100% accurate, so he was definitely the most powerful proponent of initiating the third wave of Trainers.
At the same time, he hoped more outstanding Trainers would emerge from Earth, constantly keeping an eye on the World Championships.
Now, seeing the hope for promoting the third wave of Trainers in Fang Yuan, how could he not be excited?
"Doctor Fang Yuan…" Antonio cut to the chase and asked if Fang Yuan would be willing to publish more detailed data on Mega Evolution. Antonio felt that if the top Trainers from various countries mastered the power of Mega Evolution, they would have a better chance of withstanding the impending disaster.
Mega Evolution, an evolution beyond limits, seems to have been created to rival Legendary Pokémon.
"Sorry…" Fang Yuan shook his head, "I have only finished half of this research. If the prophecy is true, I naturally hope that skilled Trainers can master this power in the future… So for now, I need the Alliance's help to assist me in my research. That way, we can achieve results more quickly and begin popularizing it."
Fang Yuan chose to believe in the prophecy, mainly because there was something amiss with Meloetta at the World Tree. He planned to return to his country and visit the World Tree again to inquire further, prioritizing latching onto Meloetta's substantial support.
As for Mega Evolution, making it public directly was out of the question.
"I would like the Alliance to establish a special agency focused on researching and managing Mega Evolution," Fang Yuan got straight to the point. He needed to maintain enough control over the popularization of Mega Evolution.
Mega Evolution, even if to be popularized, would start with the Hua Nation.
Antonio nodded…
Rightfully so, as the chairman of the most legendary resource and the Five Divine Regions Management Committee, Antonio understood the necessity of this move. Before long, Fang Yuan's status as the chief researcher of the Super Evolution Institute was all but confirmed.
