Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Qilu region, Shanming County.

This is a small-scale city with relatively poor economic foundation.

Besides, the transportation is not very convenient.

Compared to Quancheng and Qindao, this place is quite remote.

At this time, this obscure little city had a special visitor.

The visitor was dressed in a blue-purple hoodie and black long pants, with short auburn hair styled like a hedgehog's spines.

Also, hanging on his chest was an accessory resembling a Poké Ball.

If it were a viewer who had watched the Pokémon series, upon seeing this person, they would definitely shout "Xiao Mao"!

"Awesome, awesome, awesome," Fang Yuan had lost count of how many times he had said the word "awesome" on his way here.

Right now, this youth who looked very much like Xiao Mao was none other than Fang Yuan, or more precisely, Fang Yuan after disguising himself.

By now he was somewhat of a celebrity, and showing his face would probably cause quite a stir.

So, it was necessary to disguise himself accordingly.

Disguising was something that could be easily done with some Illusion Technique from Eevee standing by his side, or alternatively, using Ditto to change his face.

But those were more troublesome, after all, one can't always have Eevee using Illusion Technique or have Ditto sticking to one's face.

Therefore, Fang Yuan decided to settle for second best: change his hairstyle, his clothes, and put on some makeup.

However, Fang Yuan hadn't anticipated that Ditto was not only skilled in transforming faces but also came with a full set of disguise abilities.

It could become various types of makeup and even scissors to help Fang Yuan with his haircut, proving to be quite versatile.

Moreover, Ditto's makeup skills were also top-notch, mainly because it incorporated some of its bodily components into the makeup, making Fang Yuan look like a completely different person after the makeup was done.

Although it wasn't a flat-out face change, Fang Yuan couldn't even recognize himself now, which was telling of the success of the disguise.

This was the first time Fang Yuan had let Ditto help him with makeup, and the result was outstanding; he was very satisfied, at least it was enough to deal with ordinary people.

He had traveled all the way from Magic City without a single passerby recognizing him, perfect.

"I used to cosplay as Red Grandpa, and now Xiao Mao, maybe in the future I could also cosplay as Du, Da Wu, Giovanni, Hirona, uh, never mind, let's skip Hirona," Fang Yuan mused as he walked through Shanming County.

In any case, Fang Yuan had decided to let Ditto focus on practicing disguise techniques when he had spare time. This skill was amazing; from now on, the Xiao Mao persona would be one of his handy disguises.

...

This time Fang Yuan came out to search for and assess Bug King Ye Hui.

According to Fang Yuan's investigations, as the head of the Forestry Association, the target wasn't at headquarters but was in his hometown, probably on vacation.

After all, the documents showed that he had a deep affection for his hometown area and would take care of the wild Bug Type Pokemon whenever he had the time.

Now, seizing this opportunity to assess whether he was eligible for Mega Evolution was the most suitable course of action.

From the data, this Uncle impressed Fang Yuan in every aspect; he believed that the Bug King should be able to handle Mega Evolution, but whether that was really the case, it was better to meet him in person.

"It's getting late."

Fang Yuan glanced at the time; it was already past 6 pm when he arrived in Shanming County, and it would soon be dark. It was better to find the person tomorrow.

Having made his decision, Fang Yuan casually took out his Rotom phone and rented a room. Then, after eating a bowl of noodles by the roadside, he was ready to head to the hotel.

However, as Fang Yuan passed by a dimly lit alley, he suddenly made a peculiar expression.

Fang Yuan's shoulder Eevee also displayed a very strange expression.

In the alley, the cry of a baby was continuously heard, eerily sharp, especially in such a dim setting, it prompted one to think of something unclean.

"Bwoo!!"

As Fang Yuan scratched his head in confusion, the Eevee on his shoulder gestured for him to go and check it out.

"If we're going to look, let's look," Fang Yuan laughed and entered the alley, walking forward. However, after about five minutes, the alley that appeared to be short enough to see to the end at a glance still hadn't come to an end for Fang Yuan, yet the crying became louder and closer.

Soon, the crying sounded from behind Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan cooperated and turned around, only to see a baby about one or two years old, sitting on a trash can. The baby was dressed in purple and had seaweed-like hair and a curved, closed mouth like an arc line.

At the moment, its mouth was wriggling constantly, and it was confirmed that the cry was coming from there...

"Hehehehe..."

The next second, the baby's mouth suddenly opened wide in Fang Yuan's view, revealing bright red inside, along with laughter.

Fang Yuan, Eevee: ?

Baby: ?

After examining the baby for a few seconds, Fang Yuan silently picked up a rock from the ground, gathered both Aura and Confusion into the rock, and then, looked towards the baby.

"I knew at a glance that you're not human!"

"Great Heaven... anyway, have a taste of my Wave-guide Missile!"

After speaking, Fang Yuan threw the rock covered with Aura at the baby, who obviously startled and was then hit directly.

"Bwah~!!" Amidst a painful scream, the scenery around Fang Yuan suddenly changed, and there was no longer a baby on the trash can, but a dark green Ghost-type Pokemon, Dream Demon.

After being hit by Fang Yuan, the Dream Demon immediately became furious, and the conspicuous red beads around its neck began to shimmer, seemingly in preparation to counterattack. But suddenly, it was overwhelmed by a chilling coldness. Fang Yuan's shoulder Eevee, now making a ghastly face, radiated an endless wave of malicious energy...
