Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment.

In the end, he decided to play the villain this time.

At this moment, in Shaymin's eyes, he must be a "Major Villain," right?

Next, under Luo Kuo's guidance, Shaymin would step out of its comfort zone to slap this villain in the face, becoming even better.

After that, Venusaur and Shaymin truly becoming a perfect match would be fitting!

Unlike Milotic and Dragonite, who are already outstanding, both Venusaur and Shaymin still had room for growth.

Fang Yuan was truly putting a lot of thought into this.

"Isn't this better than just getting together and both of you going back to the research center as passionate gardeners?"

"Bwoo!"

Venusaur cried, but there was nothing wrong with retreating to the mountains to plant flowers and grass with its beloved Pokémon.

According to Teacher Lorca, this was called "cultivating emotions through immersion" and "using the mundane to refine one's state of mind."

Before Fang Yuan could say anything, with a "Bwoo!" Dragonite suddenly appeared, reveling in schadenfreude as it slapped its good buddy Venusaur on the back and earnestly began to lecture it.

"Bwoo! (Love that hasn't been tested is not enduring.)"

"Bwoo! (What you get too easily, you often grow tired of quickly.)"

Venusaur: テ_デ Bwoo...

The principle was just that.

Moreover, it quite liked the demeanor of Shaymin, the favorite of fortune.

But, it just couldn't feel at ease entrusting Shaymin to Luo Kuo... Is it reliable or not?

"Bwoo... (It should be reliable, right?)"

While Venusaur was imagining the future, Dragonite quietly whispered in Fang Yuan's ear:

"Bwoo... (Isn't the size difference between Venusaur and Shaymin a bit too much?)"

Dragonite had been wanting to ask for a while now, as it and Milotic were a match made in heaven, but Venusaur and Shaymin...

A Bulbasaur and Shaymin would be reasonable, but a 4-meter-tall Venusaur was just too much.

"I always told you to read more."

Fang Yuan glanced at Dragonite, "Grass type Pokémon, the vast majority of them lay eggs via vines."

Vines, after all, are very convenient... their size is controllable.

"Bwoo, bwoo...?" Dragonite was taken aback, its eyes widened, suddenly feeling like it had gained some awkward knowledge.

Apparently, it was time to go ask Rotom for a refresher session.

"Bwoo."

On the side, Eevee, who had no interest in these topics, sighed at the sky and then patted Fang Yuan on the shoulder.

Was it time to go back? It hadn't had the chance to do intensive training today.

"Oh, let's head back then."

Eevee, whose phone had been confiscated, was surprisingly well-disciplined.

...

While Fang Yuan was worrying over the love between Venusaur and Shaymin...

The shocking news that he'd directed Venusaur to easily defeat a Guardian Grade Illusion Elf had already spread like wildfire.

Inside the China Association, President Wen and a bunch of the Twelve Branches were completely dumbfounded.

Especially President Wen, who had kept his communication with Master Kong Hai at the scene uninterrupted since the start of this farce.

But when Fang Yuan really won, President Wen fell into deep contemplation about life.

"That Venusaur turned out to be so strong."

"The combination of Mega Evolution, exclusive Z-Move, and Aura resulted in a strike on par with a Top Guardian God…"

"We have seriously underestimated Fang Yuan, he is not just hopeful for the Guardian God battle but clearly can be Hua Nation's most powerful trump card!!"

"That Venusaur has perfectly integrated several of the advanced powers developed by Fang Yuan. It seems that its strength in this state might even surpass Darkrai now, becoming his strongest trump card!"

As he analyzed nervously for several minutes during the communication, President Wen couldn't help but chuckle. With Fang Yuan there, wasn't the battle of the Guardian Gods a sure win? Moreover, with the Huge Gyro Dragon, they'd definitely be able to divide up a lot of resources.

With these resources, the growth pace of Hua Nation's Trainers Domain for the next few decades was unimaginable.

"President Wen, there's something I'm not sure if I should say," Master Kong Hai pondered aloud.

President Wen: "Speak your mind."

"That Venusaur might not be Fang Yuan's strongest Pokémon..."

"Before this battle, he had a match with Shang Ren... His Monferno effortlessly launched a punch without any Mega Evolution, without any Z-Move, without any Aura power, and it delivered a strike on the level of a Top Guardian God, pulverizing Shang Ren's Mega Tyranitar's Z-Move with one hit."

"In other words, that ultimate move of Venusaur was just like Fang Yuan's Monferno throwing a casual punch."

Master Kong Hai used a relatively trendy explanation to state a fact that even gave him a stomach ache.

As expected, once he finished speaking, there was a loud clang from the other end.

"What did you just say?!?!" Immediately after, Wen's loud shouts came through the communicator.

A strike on the level of a Top Guardian God resulting from the combination of Mega Evolution, Z-Move, Dominant Field, and Aura already left him in shock.

Now you're telling me that's just a casual punch from Fang Yuan's main Pokémon?

"If you don't believe me, go ask Fang Yuan yourself," Master Kong Hai said with a headache, suspecting Fang Yuan's other main Pokémon weren't weaker than Monferno. It was up to President Wen how much he could find out.

...

Soon after.

Fang Yuan returned to the hotel.

By then, Xiao Mai, Master Kong Hai, Shang Ren, and others had all come back as well.

Kong Hai, Shang Ren, Lin Sen, and others stared at Fang Yuan in silence.
