Greatest Pokémon Trainer

The Dumb King is an evolved form of Slowpoke, standing on two feet with an orange and white structure around its neck similar to an umbrella, and wearing a massive crown on its head.

Although it appears unhurried and content, retaining Slowpoke's honest and simple nature, there is indeed a sense of great wisdom contained within.

In the outside world, there is no existence of the Dumb King.

Fang Yuan had even exchanged the Dumb King's evolutionary conditions for Meditation Method from Tianxing Style.

Now it seems that the Earth is not without the Dumb King, it's just hidden very deeply, undiscovered by humans.

"Welcome."

The Dumb King used Mind Induction to speak to Fang Yuan and the others.

"Manafei~~"

Manafei smiled broadly, this deep-sea island's collective power, if not counting the Huge Gyro Dragon, was even stronger than Dragon Island.

This Dumb King sage was very powerful, and although somewhat dull in character, Manafei had still reluctantly made this friend.

This was the place it had found for He Xiaomai to choose her Beginner Elf.

Clearly, this was an island of the Water Series, with countless Water-type Spirits inhabiting it, including deep-sea overlords and their offspring, and even the bloodlines of several Ocean Guardian Gods, making it absolutely the best place to choose a Beginner Elf.

"Manafei (as per the agreement)~~"

"Dumb king!~" The Dumb King nodded its head.

Its gaze finally landed on He Xiaomai, this girl, she must be the Temple Envoy spoken of by Manafei.

......

"You... Hello."

Facing the Dumb King, He Xiaomai didn't know why but she felt an oppressive force, and tension rose in her heart.

Subconsciously, He Xiaomai's Aura began to emanate uncontrollably.

Prince of the Sea and Fang Yuan both watched silently from the side, clearly, the Dumb King was testing He Xiaomai.

As the Aura flowed, the Dumb King understood, no wonder she could become the Prince of the Sea's Envoy, this human girl had quite impressive talent.

However, she seemed a bit immature.

Lacking confidence.

This meant that even with the power of Aura, it would not be easy for her to gain the recognition of her character's charm by some Spirits.

After all, the Water-type Spirits here were not like those in the outside world; they were all descended from deep-sea top overlords, each with a very proud nature.

"However, there shouldn't be a problem."

With the power of Aura... it's possible to befriend some Water-type Spirits that have Waveguide Talent, and the Dumb King hoped that He Xiaomai could smoothly find a suitable partner here.

As the Dumb King pondered, it suddenly found its oppressive aura interrupted, a hand was placed on He Xiaomai's shoulder.

It looked over and found it was another male human next to the Prince of the Sea.

Who is this person??

The Prince of the Sea, Manafei, had said that only its Envoy, a young human girl, would come to pick a Spirit companion.

Fang Yuan clearly was not part of the Dumb King's memory.

At this moment, Fang Yuan also looked towards the Dumb King, locking eyes with it.

Fang Yuan revealed a smile, as a way of greeting.

In that moment of eye contact, the Dumb King perceived many things.

Fang Yuan was also a special human with the power of Aura, much like He Xiaomai.

Only, their levels in manipulating the power of Aura, were worlds apart.

He Xiaomai gave it the impression of a beginner.

But in Fang Yuan, the Dumb King sensed a dangerous aura that could threaten it.

"Here, take this." After placing his hand on He Xiaomai's shoulder, Fang Yuan handed her the backpack he had prepared in advance.

"This is...?"

"Nothing much, just high-quality Energy Blocks."

Fang Yuan chuckled, as Sect Leader, he couldn't sit back and offer no help in a Heart Origin Disciple's selection of a Beginner Elf.

This pack of Energy Blocks was of the type most loved by Water Series Spirits, meticulously crafted by Self-detonating Magnetic Monsters.

Even a willful top-level combatant had to succumb obediently to the deliciousness of gourmet food.

Such a high-caliber gourmet weapon was more than enough to tempt Beginner Elves for He Xiaomai.

Although the Spirits that bonded well with He Xiaomai didn't necessarily need this extra lure, the Spirits on the island weren't solitary beings; their elders' approval was required. Without it, they would be reluctant to let their offspring go, and He Xiaomai would have a tough time.

At a critical moment, the Energy Blocks could offer He Xiaomai tremendous help.

With the Aura's power, Prince of the Sea, Energy Blocks, and Dumb King's face involved, He Xiaomai should finally be able to strut around this island, shouldn't he?!!

......

Next, He Xiaomai and Golduck followed what was either a clone or the real body of Manafei into the island.

The island was vast, and there were many dangerous areas. It wasn't easy to quickly find a Spirit suitable for oneself, but with the company of a Manafei clone, He Xiaomai wouldn't have too many problems.

As for Fang Yuan, the reason he didn't accompany He Xiaomai was that Manafei had asked him to stay beforehand, ready to discuss important matters with Dumb King.

Through Manafei's introduction, Dumb King only then learned that Fang Yuan was He Xiaomai's master and a top-level powerhouse among humans with Guardian God Level Combat Power.

Seeing Manafei treat Fang Yuan as an equal, Dumb King also immediately realized Fang Yuan's extraordinary nature.

As for why Manafei kept Fang Yuan behind, it was because of that prophecy of Zi Wan Fang Yuan mentioned.

Dumb King was known as the Wise Man of the Sea; his mind often surged with ideas that could change the world, possessing extraordinary wisdom and inspiration.

The weaker a Dumb King was, the less obvious this wisdom would be, but the more powerful a Dumb King became, the more terrifying its abilities would be.

Just like the Dumb King before him, Manafei knew that it had a highly exceptional Predictive Ability, able to foresee events far into the future.

If a disaster were to occur, shouldn't this Wise Man of the Sea know something about it?

Manafei held onto hope!

"A disaster four years from now?"

"I am sorry, I can only foresee the most imminent major calamities."

However, faced with Manafei's inquiry, Dumb King just shook its head.

"Manafei..." Manafei felt disappointed; I was really looking forward to it.

As for Fang Yuan, he wasn't too surprised; even his Eevee, after training with the Time Flower, couldn't predict the future years ahead, so how could a Dumb King possibly do that?

"This disaster you speak of—is it terrible?" Dumb King inquired.

"It's not about whether it's terrible or not," Fang Yuan said.

"It might involve the descent of those Legendary Pokémon."

"A slight mishap could affect an entire region, an entire continent."

After receiving an answer, Dumb King pondered, gazing into the distance... as if pondering how to face the end of the world.

Dumb King: Aba aba aba aba...

Truly leisurely; seeing Dumb King's reaction, Fang Yuan was speechless.

Manafei's idea to stay behind and work on a strategy with Dumb King was completely off the mark.

"Xiao Mai is alright on her side, isn't she?" Fang Yuan turned and asked.

"Mana!" Manafei nodded.

Fang Yuan no longer entertained the idea of following them anyway; with a Manafei clone accompanying her, letting He Xiaomai train by herself wasn't a bad idea.

Next, Fang Yuan, Eevee, and Manafei all waited for Dumb King to finish thinking.

But this fellow's thinking time seemed a bit too long.

Fang Yuan felt it would be better to spend the time training his Pokémon instead.

"Manafei, you know the Thunder God, Kyogre, Lugia, don't you?"

"How powerful are they?" Fang Yuan dusted off his clothes, no longer waiting for Dumb King, and started chatting with Manafei.

"Mana??" Manafei was startled, touching its chin.

"Mana? (Would you like to see?)"

If they used Soul Swap, it could allow Fang Yuan to see the power of its friends.

"You can do that??" Fang Yuan was startled.

Before Fang Yuan could react, Manafei flew to his side and used Soul Swap.

The next second.

When Fang Yuan opened his eyes again, he was in another world.

His body seemed to float above a huge island.

The island's area was roughly hundreds of square kilometers, and at that moment, the entire airspace above the island was shrouded in dark clouds... within the clouds lightning flashed, with a golden-yellow figure moving constantly through them.
