Greatest Pokémon Trainer

The courtyard of Furong family.

Besides the old lady from before, Furong's grandfather was also inside, preparing the tea and refreshments to entertain their benefactor.

The short-statured grandfather, his face full of wrinkles and a smile, warmly welcomed Fang Yuan and the others upon their arrival.

After the five of them sat down together, they began to talk about the recent Ghost incident.

Everyone couldn't help but sympathize with the plight of the Pandora Kingdom.

Fortunately, there were not many Pokemon with a Soul talent like Aegislash, otherwise if every Pokemon could continue to live on in Soul Form after death, the world would be in chaos.

At the same time, Furong's grandparents repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Fang Yuan.

Furong's grandfather said, "Mr. Fang Yuan, I heard from this girl Furong that you have something to discuss with us?"

Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, indeed I have something I'd like to ask of the both of you."

Furong's grandmother smiled and said, "Dear child, there's no need to be so formal. Just tell us what you need, make yourself at home."

"Indeed," Furong's grandfather added.

Furong and Wan Long both smiled. It seemed that this elderly couple had quite a good impression of Fang Yuan, the upright Wave-guide Messenger.

Fang Yuan glanced at them and sheepishly said, "Then I'll just say it. I heard that God Sending Mountain has two beads, a Red one and a Blue one, and I would like that..."

"Pff——"

As he finished.

Furong spat out the tea she had just sipped.

Furong's grandparents' expressions also froze.

Wan Long, not understanding why, passed Furong a paper tissue.

What happened?

Wan Long observed the atmosphere of the room with a puzzled look.

Did Fang Yuan say something particularly grave?

"Eevee, go wipe the floor..." Fang Yuan coughed and commanded.

Eevee: "..."

At this moment, Furong and her grandparents' gazes toward Fang Yuan changed.

Furong's lips twitched.

Furong's grandfather, now with an extremely serious expression, said, "You want the Red and Blue Orbs??"

"What are those??" Wan Long asked curiously.

Furong's grandmother also looked at Fang Yuan and said, "Do you know what they are intended for?"

Fang Yuan nodded and replied, "According to legend, they are Super Ancient Tools created by the ancient humans to control Groudon and Kyogre."

"What... there are such tools on God Sending Mountain??" exclaimed the Wanda Dragon King from the side.

Could control Groudon, Kyogre?

That powerful??

Wouldn't anyone who obtains those beads become invincible?

Furong's grandfather said, "Since you know the purpose of these two tools, you should also understand that the best way to handle them is to seal them away permanently, and they should never reemerge, otherwise the world would be doomed."

"Although I'm not sure how you found out about the beads being on God Sending Mountain, this request..."

Furong's grandmother also shook her head and said, "Since many generations ago, beginning with Furong's great-great-great...grandmother, our family has guarded these two tools to prevent them from appearing in the world again and falling into the hands of those with ulterior motives. While we don't know what you want with the beads, we really can't assist with this."

"We are very thankful that you saved God Sending Mountain, but the Red and Blue Orbs absolutely cannot fall into the outside world, no matter the reason."

Furong silently watched Fang Yuan, not expecting that he would approach her grandparents for the Red and Blue Orbs.

Even if Fang Yuan had helped God Sending Mountain and saved her once, Furong believed that her grandparents would never disclose the location of the orbs.

After all, if such beads were to be mishandled and got out, they could lead to the destruction of the world. Although Fang Yuan seemed like a good person, at times like this one had to speculate with the greatest malice about people's intentions.

But then again, would a good person want to get beads that controlled Ancient Creatures?

"You've misunderstood," Fang Yuan said with a wry smile, knowing that they would get the wrong idea.

"It seems the beads really are on God Sending Mountain."

"Let me explain."

"Groudon and Kyogre awaken once every thousand years to fight for Natural Energy, right? Every time they fight, it leads to a disaster in the Area of Fragrant Fate..." Fang Yuan looked at everyone watching him and continued.

"Could it be that you want to use the orbs to control them, to stop their fighting?" Wan Long asked.

Even if that were possible, it seemed too risky.

"No, the orbs aren't actually tools for controlling the Ancient Creatures. That's just a rumor. Instead, the two orbs contain a vast amount of Natural Energy, far richer than what they would fight over. In fact, the orbs are the very items that the Ancient Creatures themselves have lost. If the orbs are returned to them, they will no longer fight over the Natural Energy, preventing disasters in the Area of Fragrant Fate."

Everyone: "..."

Your explanation sounds more like a rumor, right?

Furong: "I feel like what Wan Long mentioned might be more likely to succeed..."

Fang Yuan: "..."

Furong's grandparents looked at Fang Yuan with an odd expression. How did Fang Yuan come up with such a far-fetched story?

No... they absolutely could not hand the beads over to Fang Yuan, who seemed so unreliable.

"You're not suspecting that I want the beads in order to control the two Ancient Creatures and then dominate the world, are you!!" Fang Yuan said exasperatedly.

Furong and her grandparents: (Indeed, that's a possibility...)

Wan Long smiled slightly: "According to how novels develop... it really is possible, haha, but of course, I'm joking. I believe in you, Fang Yuan."

However, although Wan Long was willing to believe, she also thought that Fang Yuan's explanation didn't seem reliable.

Return the orbs to Groudon and Kyogre? Dream on.

Fang Yuan helplessly covered his forehead and said, "Do Groudon and Kyogre still need to be controlled with a Treasure Bead?"

"I understand, I'll prove it to you. Hibiscus King, would you dare to engage in a double battle with me to validate the truth of my words?"

Hibiscus: "Ah?"

Why a battle again.

Thinking of Fang Yuan's Eevee and the strength of his Super Ghost, Hibiscus had no confidence at all.

Was he planning to take the Treasure Beads by force if sweet-talking didn't work?

...

On the open ground outside the residence, under Fang Yuan's insistence, Hibiscus reluctantly agreed, curious to see how he would prove his point through battle.

Hibiscus's grandparents also followed, deeply thoughtful.

As for Wan Long, she had her notebook ready, planning to enjoy the show, feeling that she might gather some good material.

A double battle means it's 2VS2, but the twist is sending out two Pokémon simultaneously for the fight.

Hibiscus watched anxiously across at Fang Yuan, unsure of what he planned to do.

However, she wasn't going to give in easily in a battle, even though Fang Yuan was strong. To have the opportunity to duel with a master like Fang Yuan was not to be squandered.

"So... should I act as the referee?" Wan Long said.

Next, under Wan Long's signal, the match began, with both trainers throwing out two Poké Balls at the same time.

"Go, Dusclops, Gengar!"

"Go, Groudon, Kyogre!"

As the trainers' voices fell, Hibiscus sent out her ace Dusclops along with an assisting Gengar.

Both Pokémon were incredibly strong and stared down Fang Yuan with great momentum, even feeling a bit like beating up Fang Yuan's wasteful Glutton.

However, on Fang Yuan's side...

It wasn't the Glutton or Eevee that were sent out.

He took out the Poké Balls of Groudon and Kyogre and released them.

Two flashes of white light...

"Roar!!!!"

"Roar!!!!"

A massive Pokémon with a body covered in red, plate-like skin that acted like armor, roared as it made its entrance. As it appeared, the sky instantly cleared, and the originally dim environment of God Sending Mountain was swiftly engulfed in the blinding sunlight.

People on God Sending Mountain, no matter where they were, instinctively looked up.

Following another roar, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, and the fierce sun that had just appeared was instantly covered by the dark clouds.

A thunderous "boom" left the trainers on God Sending Mountain even more baffled.

Groudon threw a glare at the blue Fat Fish that was competing with it for control of the weather.

At this moment.

Not only had the sky changed.

The expressions of Hibiscus, Wan Long, and Hibiscus's grandparents also changed dramatically, reflecting an unimaginable shock.

Their mouths hung open as they looked at the behemoth standing on the ground and another floating in the sky through Superpower.

The Creator of the Earth, Groudon? The Ocean Creator, Kyogre?

The names Fang Yuan had just called were these two, weren't they?

"I told you, I was telling the truth; you have to believe me."

"Don't treat me like those clumsy ambition-driven people from Magma Team and the Water Fleet."

Control Groudon and Kyogre without the need for Treasure Beads?

"It can't be real..."

"I don't believe it."

Watching the two bickering Super Ancient Pokémon across from her, Hibiscus was utterly shocked.

The two Pokémon in front of her, feeling the terrifying aura of the opponents, also had their pupils drastically shrink.

"It's true, you don't need to have a double battle really, you can call out all your Pokémon to verify their authenticity..." Fang Yuan.

With an incredulous expression, Hibiscus almost clenched her teeth and commanded, "Dusclops, Shadow Claw!"

"Gengar, Shadow Ball!"

She still couldn't believe it.

On Groudon and Kyogre's side, there was no need for commands from Fang Yuan.

Groudon didn't even spare a glance at Dusclops, unaffectedly took a hit from Shadow Claw, then with a swing of its arm, it slapped the approaching Dusclops into a streak of light, sending it flying hundreds of meters away.

Kyogre, with a mere flick of its fin-like flippers, scattered the Shadow Ball, and then an ensuing terrifying Hurricane produced by the flipper's motion instantly tore open the ground, sweeping the panic-stricken Gengar hundreds of meters away as well.

The power didn't even compare.

The two Super Ancient Pokémon continued their squabble.

Witnessing these fearsomely powerful and short-tempered, continuously roaring Ancient Creatures, Hibiscus, Wan Long, and the grandparents of Hibiscus were nearly petrified.

It seemed... to be true...

Their shocked expressions turned toward Fang Yuan, who nodded.

Is it really true...

Their expressions were incredibly shaken, and they still hadn't regained their ability to speak.

Could a human really have tamed Groudon and Kyogre?

This world was just too crazy.

Who exactly was Fang Yuan...
