Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Mid-to-late June.

During this time, quite a few high school students will be registering as New Trainers on New Trainers' Day.

In the year 2020, due to Hua Nation's world championship victory, the number of people registering as New Trainers in Hua Nation reached a historic high.

Now, in 2021, the Trainer craze that swept through Hua Nation has not died down.

If anything, it's become even more fervent, thanks to Energy Blocks and the grandeur of competitions.

This year, the number of people registering as New Trainers in Hua Nation has hit a new peak.

Although not all of this can be attributed to Fang Yuan's achievements, the role that Fang Yuan has played in this is irreplaceable.

At this time, Fang Yuan was still almost obsessively engaged in researching new technology within the research institute.

If he couldn't see the end in sight, Fang Yuan might have felt bored, but with the chance to change the world right before him, there was hardly any reason for him to slack off.

The Third Stage of the Fairy Transport Tech!

This project, which was expected to take two months to complete, had achieved significant progress in just one month.

Currently, within the local transport network surrounding the Sun and Moon Forest, Fang Yuan and his team were able to carry out normal Pokémon transportation.

Even now, they had already begun the experimental research of derivative programs.

Inside the Fang Yuan Institute.

Eevee was somewhat bored, cooperating with Fang Yuan in a new experiment.

It stood on the platform of a transport device and, looking at the video phone next to it, cried "Bwoo."

On the other side of the video, there was a small river where Fang Yuan and Rotom were taking a walk against the current.

"Eevee, can you hear me?"

"Bwoo Bwoo."

"We've reached the Fossil Reserve now, next we'll randomly capture a Fossil Spirit using this Poké Ball equipped with a transport device."

"According to the program set in the Poké Ball, after it captures a Pokémon, it should automatically transport it over to you, so keep an eye out for the reception."

Inside the Fossil Reserve.

Fang Yuan, holding one of the latest research achievements—a Poké Ball programmed with automatic transport, was looking for a target to capture.

The transport device in this Poké Ball had been reprogrammed twice by Rotom and Dragon 3D.

It could not only transport between two devices but could also automatically transport to a designated point in the wild where network signals were available.

This technology is reflected in both the anime and the games.

In the original series animation, with already six Pokémon in his possession, Xiaozhi captures a Krabby at the beach.

According to the laws of that world, a regular Trainer is only allowed to have six Pokémon, so when Xiaozhi captured Krabby, the automatic transport program in the Poké Ball was triggered, sending Krabby to Professor Oak's Research Institute's kitchen, the starting point of Xiaozhi's journey.

Now, what Fang Yuan and his team are experimenting with is a similar process.

"Bwoo Bwoo!!"

Eevee urged, hurry up.

It still had training to do.

Such a clumsy Substitute Technique, Eevee could never have imagined that, even after nearly three months of training, it still hadn't been able to successfully eliminate the Dream gene.

Wuu wuu, QAQ.

However, Eevee had a premonition that it was close, very close—only one step away from becoming stronger!

"Okay."

Fang Yuan kept responding agreeably, it was great, even Eevee knew the value of hard work.

It's just... Eevee's expectations for the Return to Elementary Education Method seemed a bit too high.

He had just blurted it out at the time; what if it turned out to be ineffective...

...

The research institute, Fossil Reserve, Sun and Moon Forest—all were covered by the local transport network created by Fang Yuan and his team.

There were only two final destinations for transportation, both inside the research institute, so there was no need to worry about Pokémon or Poké Balls disappearing in the process.

However, as with all experiments, there are risks.

Fang Yuan couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be any mishaps that caused the captured Pokémon to be transported to some unknown corner.

So, he could only experiment with Pokémon that he was familiar with.

That way, even if a Poké Ball ended up inside some otaku's computer, it wouldn't cause a situation where a Pokémon hurt people... At most, it would just scare someone a bit.

But these worries were mostly unnecessary, as Dragon 3D had long since begun monitoring everything in the local network.

It could very clearly see the movements of Poké Balls in cyberspace and track them, so the likelihood of problems arising wasn't very high.

Thanks to the advanced upgrade data gifted by the National Defense University, which covered a wide array of skills, the current Dragon 3D had become a top-tier programmer and hacker master.

Otherwise, the progress of Fang Yuan's research would certainly not have been this smooth.

"You're it."

Shortly after entering the Fossil Reserve, Fang Yuan and his team immediately picked a random Fossil Spirit to capture.

It was a Multi-Spined Flower Stone Beast chilling by the river, taking a Rest.

"Assemble!!!!"

Upon seeing the Multi-Spined Flower Stone Beast, Fang Yuan immediately issued the instruction.

Almost instinctively, the Multi-Spined Flower Stone Beast was startled awake and immediately stood up.

These were after-effects from Luo Kuo's training...

"Ano?"

The Multi-Spined Flower Stone Beast was really shocked.

It wondered, isn't it the holiday? Why is there still a call for assembly?

"Ano..."

Once awake, the Multi-Spined Flower Stone Beast looked at Fang Yuan and Rotom, who were smiling, and felt speechless, realizing what was happening.

It seemed Fang Yuan was teasing it; the demon instructor Luo Kuo wasn't there.

As long as it wasn't Luo Kuo, everything was fine...

"Ano~!"

Upon realizing it was Fang Yuan, the Multi-Spined Flower Stone Beast breathed a sigh of relief; its tentacles waved cheerfully in welcome.
