Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Fang Yuan's Eevee looked helplessly at his shadow.

Eevee said to Glutton that it had beaten the food for him, but whether he could manage to eat it was another matter entirely.

Glutton: >̣̣̥᷄⌓̣̣̥᷄⌓

"Although this spirit has gotten stronger, it should be fine as long as we disperse it," Fu Rong said.

"Is that so…" Fang Yuan pondered.

"By the way... Hibiscus King, do you know the origin and purpose of this Aegislash?"

"It must be the chief culprit behind the anomaly at God Sending Mountain!"

Fang Yuan looked at the Aegislash, still wanting to get a clear picture before proceeding.

"Yes!"

Fu Rong nodded and quickly started to recount the legend of Aegislash and Pandora Kingdom.

This Aegislash was the primary cause of Pandora Kingdom's downfall, creating Ghost Pokémon, it was certainly this one—

"Pandora Kingdom?"

Listening to Fu Rong's description, Wan Long nodded. As a novelist, she, of course, knew this history like the back of her hand.

However, Fang Yuan was completely unaware of Pandora Kingdom's notoriety, as it never appeared in the original story.

However, the Pokédex entry for Aegislash did indeed mention that it was a Pokémon that fought beside kings and caused the downfall of a nation.

It seems it belonged to a kingdom more obscure than Old Wang's empire… even less renowned.

At least Old Wang's empire was destroyed by a Legendary Pokémon, but this kingdom was ruined by an Ordinary Pokémon.

Fang Yuan shook his head.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Aegislash wanted to replace its Trainer and become the king of Pandora Kingdom, hence the murder of its own Trainer."

"After Pandora Kingdom eliminated Aegislash, it, due to its deep-seated obsession, revived in the form of a soul."

"When it controlled us, we could sense some of its ambitions."

"This guy..."

"Refusing to accept its demise, it still aspires to become 'king' after its revival."

"So it created so many Ghosts, intending to make a comeback and establish its own kingdom again."

"Such high aspirations..." Fang Yuan scoffed, thinking about how in history, very few Pokémon actually succeeded in establishing their own kingdoms.

This Aegislash still had a long way to go.

"Well, although I don't know how it manages to preserve the souls of other Pokémon, if we handle it first and then deal with the other Ghosts, this matter should be able to come to a close," Fang Yuan said.

"Just as the legends describe, utterly corrupt," Wan Long said with a look of anger.

Normally, after Pokémon die, their souls gradually dissipate and undergo Transmigration.

But this Aegislash, hiding in the Spirit World, somehow exploited the advantage of God Sending Mountain's graveyard, desecrating the souls of the Pokémon buried there by their Trainers, turning them into puppets to serve as its soldiers.

Such actions infuriated Wan Long.

As a Guardian of God Sending Mountain, Fu Rong also felt very angry. Trainers buried their deceased Pokémon here, not for Aegislash to manipulate their souls.

"Such an evil spirit should be devoured!" Fu Rong proclaimed.

Fang Yuan, Wan Long: "..."

Glutton: nodding.jpg

"Mr. Fang Yuan, don't feel guilty. This kind of spirit is really just like a Grudge, no longer considered a living being, and there's no fundamental difference from Nightmare or fear energies," she said.

No, I haven't got a problem.

I'm just worried my Glutton might upset its stomach.

After all, this Aegislash looks all too unsettling.

"If it's really nourishing..." Fang Yuan looked at the shadow.

"Then... maybe cook it before eating?"

Once cooked, it probably wouldn't be harmful to consume.

Glutton: ┗|｀O′|┛ Wow~~

Once it received Fang Yuan's approval, Glutton immediately reappeared, its eyes shining.

Hearing Fang Yuan's instruction, it nodded vigorously.

Roast it thoroughly, it understood!!

Scrambling back to the site of the spirit body, Glutton's body suddenly grew massive.

Boom!!

In just an instant, a terrifying Phantom coalesced.

Glutton's body surged with energy, swiftly forming a gigantic Phantom based on its original form.

Dark Phantom!

Glutton seemed set on using its long-unseen Ghostfire Armor technique!

Exhibiting a vast Phantom, Glutton quickly appeared much more defined in structure.

Now shaped like a Giant, its body was entirely shrouded in Ghost Energy, and it morphed to create huge arms, legs, and a head; its torso was impeccably complete. Additionally, copious amounts of strange White Flames spread throughout by burning energy, forming White Ghostfire Armor.

Compared to its original version, having become more proficient with energy and Ghost Fire, Glutton's technique now essentially amounted to constructing its own Gigantification body from the Dark Phantom and then covering itself completely in flames.

"A Gigantamax Combination Skill imitation?"

"This state must consume a lot of energy."

"However, the extensive flames could indeed 'cook' the spirit body."

Seeing Glutton's state, Wan Long and Fu Rong were visibly taken aback.

And as Glutton reached out with its massive claw engulfed in burning White Flame to grab the dissipating body of Aegislash, and its mouth widened, its likeness to a Gigantamax Gengar grew even stronger.

Furthermore, Glutton's White Flame, after having Devoured a Chandelure, now also bore the property of burning Souls.
