Greatest Pokémon Trainer

The Rotom that can possess a microwave naturally also has its cooking skills maxed out.

Moreover, now it has the help of a 3D Dragon.

If the kitchen at Fang Yuan Institute were a bit more advanced, they could pretty much cook automatically, making a dish every five minutes, a full Manchu Han Imperial Feast in half an hour.

"This Pagoda meat is really not bad."

After tasting the tender and glutinous Pagoda meat, Master Kong Hai gave a high rating to Rotom's cooking.

"What's this dish called?"

Fu Hei pointed to a plate of fish with his chopsticks and asked.

"Porgy Rivers and Mountains Picture, utilizing four different parts of the Porgy to create a specialty dish that embodies the styles and flavors of the Imperial Capital, Sichuan, Magic City, and Canton. You could say it's one dish, or you could say it's four dishes," Fang Yuan replied casually.

The Chinese little chef's emotions were complex.

It was something that Fang Yuan had Rotom come up with when he was bored.

Although it was not as astoundingly delicious as imagined, not hallucinatory or clothes-bursting, it was still very tasty.

Besides that, Fang Yuan had Rotom come up with dishes like "Magical Mapo Tofu," "Phoenix Crystal," and "Black Bone Chicken Rice" among others.

Under Fang Yuan's tutelage, Rotom had transformed into a top-notch chef, becoming an indispensable member of the cooking team just like the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Venusaur, and Gengar.

It's a pity that, with Venusaur absent, some of the dishes involving greens were not up to par...

Kong Hai and Fu Hei ate to their satisfaction.

Fang Yuan was quite indulgent, eating better than them on regular days.

After finishing their meal, both gentlemen drank a bowl of soup, and then Old man Kong Hai said, "Young Fang, do you have any fun places here?"

Master Kong Hai was not shy about asking, and Fang Yuan, stroking his chin in thought, said, "A tour, huh? No problem, there are plenty of fun places."

"What's so interesting about a tour, Fang Yuan, how about a battle?"

Fu Hei was keen on having a battle with Fang Yuan.

Having watched Fang Yuan challenge the Road of Champions last time, he'd been itching for a match.

He had challenged nearly all the top Trainers of Hua Nation, but due to various circumstances, he hadn't yet had a battle with Fang Yuan.

This was a great opportunity!

"Bimi??!"

Upon hearing about a battle, the Victini that was still clearing daily tasks upstairs with Eevee suddenly twitched its ears.

"Bwoo!" Eevee told Victini to sit down.

Even when clearing daily tasks, one must stay focused! Do you still not understand why you're this bad?! Put your heart into it!

Eevee predicted that Fang Yuan would not accept the battle.

"Next time for sure, mainly because I have an appointment this afternoon."

Fang Yuan indeed declined.

One high-intensity battle per day was enough.

This afternoon was the date he and Darkrai had agreed upon for a taming battle, which Darkrai had been preparing for two days. He couldn't stand Darkrai up.

Being flaky is a bad habit.

Even with Victini's recharging, if he went through two high-intensity battles, Fang Yuan's interest in battling would decrease significantly, entering a sagacious period; he couldn't waste the opportunity to fight Fu Hei like that.

"Uncle Fu Hei, let's have a battle when another opportunity arises after some time."

"Fine," Fu Hei said, "but you mentioned you have an appointment this afternoon. Is there something else going on?"

"It's nothing big, won't affect touring you guys around."

"Remember Darkrai I brought back from Nightmare Island? We've agreed to have a formal battle. If I win, it will agree to officially become my Pokémon!" Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"Pfft."

At Fang Yuan's words, Master Kong Hai nearly spat soup from his mouth but managed to control it with Superpower just in time.

Fu Hei also looked down and coughed, saying, "That Nightmare God Darkrai??"

Hasn't that Darkrai already been captured in your Poké Ball for a while, what are you playing at!!

"The taming battle... will it be an endurance battle, a group battle, or 1VS1?" asked Master Kong Hai, wiping his mouth.

The relationship between Fang Yuan's Darkrai and that French Fairy King with Di Anxi was roughly the same.

Although it could be called into battle from the Poké Ball, the Trainer himself hadn't personally trained any Pokémon that surpassed this particular one in strength.

This was clear information to Fu Hei and Kong Hai.

Now, Fang Yuan was intending to rightfully tame Darkrai with raw power. This implied Fang Yuan believed that his own strength was on par with, or even surpassed that of the Guardian God-level Nightmare God.

Master Kong Hai's question was critical.

Both had seen Fang Yuan's performance on the Road of Champions. If it was a team battle, even just a double battle, with Victini's help, Fang Yuan could disregard most Guardian God-level Pokémon.

But if it were a one-on-one, even with Mega Evolution and Z-Move, Fang Yuan wouldn't be able to defeat the Nightmare God so easily—a fact they were both well aware of.

Which was why they were curious about how Fang Yuan planned to battle Darkrai.

If it were an endurance battle or a group battle, they could begrudgingly accept Fang Yuan's victory over Darkrai.

But if he managed to win in a one-on-one, it would mean that Fang Yuan had the strength to defeat them as well.

Such a rate of growth was frightening indeed.

"It's probably a one-on-one battle," Fang Yuan said.

Kong Hai, Fu Hei: (ノ°ο°)ノ it's really a one-on-one battle.

They were shocked inside.

"Yes, one-on-one," Fang Yuan confirmed.

If an Armed Magnetic Monster can fit into one ball, then it's considered one Pokémon, no problem!

......

Afternoon.

Master Kong Hai and Fu Hei said they would not tour anymore, only wanting to witness the battle between Fang Yuan and Darkrai.

Fang Yuan was helpless and scratched his head several times, but since Darkrai didn't care, neither did Fang Yuan, so he moved forward the battle.

Fossil Reserve.

The gentle sunlight shone on every area, and the breeze swept the scent of plants, drifting continuously into the distance.

Not only Master Kong Hai and Fu Hei, but also Eevee and Victini, Monferno, Glutton, Dragonite, Milotic, and Rotom, as well as Luo Kuo, all came to watch the battle.

Furthermore, nearly a hundred Fossil Spirits from the Fossil Reserve and a Phantump basking in the sun, who hadn't shown itself, were also witnesses to this battle.

Outside Nightmare Cave.

Darkrai floated calmly, its billowing white, hair-like substance covering most of its face, revealing only a pair of bright dark blue eyes full of fighting spirit.

"This Darkrai... its aura is much stronger than when we first saw it," remarked Master Kong Hai from a distance, surprised.

This rate of improvement meant it might not take long before it could compare to the Huge Gyro Dragon on Dragon Island.

"After all, it's a battle-type phantom spirit, and it should be in a rapid growth stage until it reaches the Legendary Realm," said Fu Hei. "Growing to the power level of those phantom spirits in the League of Divine Realm should not be a problem."

As a Guardian God with Nightmare Power, its strength was even higher than Guardian God Level monsters such as Flower Rock Monster and Crystal Steel Snake. Kong Hai and Fu Hei really couldn't figure out how Fang Yuan would win a one-on-one battle against it.

They roughly knew Fang Yuan's Pokémon data.

And at this moment, Fang Yuan had moved to one side of the designated battlefield, and after a glance, Darkrai floated over as well.

Darkrai understood Fang Yuan's power better than others, so it didn't dare to be careless and decided to go all out.

"Come on."

"Come on."

Fang Yuan and Darkrai stood facing each other.

After both uttered the words, Fang Yuan took out a Poké Ball and slowly pressed it down towards the battlefield.

The next second, a white light burst forth, and a brand-new Pokémon, the Armed Magnetic Monster, appeared on the battlefield.

Unlike the previous Armed Magnetic Monster, this one had a large gear floating vertically in the center of the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster's magnet, like the saw-like arms of the Armed Magnetic Monster, constantly rotating and slicing through electromagnetic force, exuding an air of dominance.

Blue electrical currents, like lightning, twined around the Armed Magnetic Monster's entire body, radiating astonishing authority, causing Darkrai to involuntarily look serious.

Indeed, this was the Pokémon.

Darkrai had to admit that Fang Yuan's rate of progress was terrifying.

If it had not broken through with Fang Yuan's help before, it certainly would not be a match for the current Armed Magnetic Monster.

Even now, after making its breakthrough, facing the Armed Magnetic Monster with countless trump cards, it did not have full confidence.

"Bwoo-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu~~" Amid the spreading blue lightning, the six gears on the body the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster's body shifted like gears, speeding up, as the Guardian God of the Electric Series displayed and unleashed its power without restraint.

Boom!!!

Following that, Darkrai also unleashed part of its power, with its dark red Nightmare Realm colliding with the Armed Magnetic Monster's golden blue Electromagnetic Domain.

In the process, countless fragments of rock got entwined with black shadows and blue electric arcs, twitching and floating up from the ground!

"What... what's happening?"

Initially, Kong Hai and Fu Hei were curious about which Pokémon Fang Yuan would use to battle Darkrai.

Now that Fang Yuan finally made his choice, their confusion hadn't diminished, but had increased!

Is this... Fang Yuan's Self-detonating Magnetic Monster that has been reinforced with two gears??

In just one year since the world championship, did it already possess Guardian God Level strength??

Most importantly, wasn't it agreed that this battle for subjugation would be a one-on-one??!

It was as if sensing their confusion when the spectating Rotom, eating melon seeds and explaining at the same time, said, "Indeed, it's one-on-one, haven't you noticed? The Self-detonating Magnetic Monsters, they all came from the same Poké Ball, Rotom."

Kong Hai, Fu Hei: (⁼̴̀д⁼̴́)

Oh, yeah!

Even though they look like three Pokémon, why did they come from one Poké Ball!

The confusion of Kong Hai and Fu Hei grew even larger.

Little heads, big doubts.

"It looks a bit different from before. The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster didn't have that big gear before, did the gears evolve??" Fu Hei muttered upon seeing the appearance of the Armed Magnetic Monster.

"Correct, the two gears have evolved, and after evolution, some special changes occurred between the Self-detonating Magnetic Monsters, similar to Slowpoke and Shellder. You can think of it as the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster and the two gears evolving together into the Armed Magnetic Monster, Rotom!!" Rotom used a comparison to explain to the two men.

Kong Hai, Fu Hei: (.ớ₃ờ)
