Greatest Pokémon Trainer

"President Loz, this person's information is very strange."

"They participated in championships in both Kanto and the Area of Fragrant Fate. However, aside from one public competition record, all of their information has been encrypted."

"Their identity contains numerous doubts."

Olive looked up solemnly at President Loz.

As Loz's secretary, and with Loz as the president of the Galar League—a part of The Pokémon Alliance—their level of access was considerable.

Yet even so, they had hit a wall trying to investigate a Trainer with a championship ranking higher than 600. Who was this person?

"Use my authority," Loz had noticed the change in Olive's expression early on.

Olive: "I've already done so."

Loz: "…And it still didn't work?"

Olive: "That's the situation."

The Marlocom Group's office suddenly fell eerily quiet.

Afterward, Loz revealed an expression of interest.

Although the regional Alliances all belonged to the larger Pokémon Alliance, they were as much in competition with each other as they were cooperating.

Sometimes not having access to each other's information was perfectly normal.

However, having information that not even a regional Alliance president could investigate was incredibly rare and definitely not just the simple records of a Trainer.

Normally, it was information of great strategic and economic significance, a vital secret.

Even though Loz could investigate some past experiences of the Four Heavenly Kings and Champions from other regions, this Trainer named Fang Yuan was different… What had he done?

To have the Quartz Alliance, the Fangyuan Alliance, and the Sinnoh League encrypt information jointly suggested something extraordinary about Fang Yuan.

In fact, even among the Quartz Alliance, Fangyuan Alliance, and Sinnoh League, the information about Fang Yuan was not shared.

It was Hirona from the Sinnoh League who had handled the information because, at that time, Fang Yuan truly had no notable experience, so nothing significant came up from the investigation.

As for the Quartz Alliance, Fang Yuan had only done one thing: he rallied a dozen Legendary Pokémon to annihilate the Rocket Team. That alone had caused major factions within the Quartz Alliance to fear him. Coupled with the support from people like Dr. Oak and Champion Percy, it was practically impossible to obtain Fang Yuan's history from the League Headquarters.

Regarding the Fangyuan Alliance… Personalities such as Da Wu, Mikkeli, and Hibiscus King had witnessed Groudon and Kyogre emerge from Fang Yuan's Poké Balls themselves. With information like that, would they encrypt it or blatantly publicize it in the news???

One could say that due to Fang Yuan's various exceptional experiences, at this moment, even Loz, the president of the Galar League, could not find any significant details when investigating Fang Yuan. Apart from one public battle record, everything else was shrouded in mystery.

"This only implies that the identity of this person..."

"…is completely beyond our imagination, outside of our understanding..."

"Olive, what about Danti?"

"Let's bring Danti along and take a look at this Mr. Fang Yuan's battle. Colored Bean has done a good job this time…"

Loz's gaze sharpened.

This Pokémon World Championship—Loz had spent a considerable price to ensure the elimination finals would take place in the Galar Region. His ambition was to make Danti the strongest Champion, solidifying the Galar League's influence among the major leagues.

Originally, Loz thought that Danti's biggest competitors were Percy, Da Wu, Hirona, and others. However, now, seeing the absurd level of encryption on Fang Yuan's data, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

…

"Ah, Achoo."

In Trace Town, Fang Yuan, who had come here alone, sneezed.

He was still wearing the thin red and white battle suit.

Walking along the dirt road, Fang Yuan shook his clothes and glanced at the sky.

"With my current physique, it's not possible to catch a cold from flying, which means someone must be talking about me..."

"Heh… I didn't expect that just less than an hour after leaving, Eevee and the others would miss me so much."

Fang Yuan shook his head.

He didn't bring many Pokémon with him to Galar this time, due to leaving Eevee and the others behind for individual training.

However, the few he did bring were of astonishing strength and quality.

The Near-Legendary Armed Magnetic Monster, Monferno, and the top Guardian God Gengar, along with the high-level Guardian Dragonite, Milotic, and the junior group consisting of Mane Rock Werewolf and Ditto, made up his Pokémon team.

It could be said that even without using the Armed Magnetic Monster and Monferno, Fang Yuan's current lineup was strong enough to compete with some Champions.

Earth and the Pokémon World have different nomenclature for the strength of Pokémon.

In the Pokémon World, Trainers refer to top-level fourth-stage combatants who have reached their Species Limit as King Level.

What Earth calls Guardian God Level is known in the Pokémon World as Champion Level.

Just as Earth differentiates between Ordinary Guardian God, High-level Guardian, and Top Guardian God, the Pokémon World's Champion Level has a wide gap, which can be roughly divided into Ordinary Champion Level, High-ranking Champion Level, and Top Champion.

In the Pokémon World, a team of King-level Pokémon is the standard for the Alliance's Four Heavenly Kings, with a few strong regional Kings commanding Champion Level power.

Regional Champions, as a standard, have at least one Champion Level Pokémon. However, if a League Champion has only one ordinary Champion Level ace, that Champion is definitely weak, and so is their League.

For example, Percy's Dragonite is at the pinnacle of Champion Level, equivalent to a top Guardian God on Earth.

Hirona's Garchomp is the same, and even the relatively weak Kalos League's Champion Karune's Gardevoir, after Mega Evolution, boasts High-ranking Champion Level strength.
