Greatest Pokémon Trainer

The evolution of the 3D Dragon made the subsequent construction of the transportation network much smoother.

Fang Yuan summoned all available 3D Dragons from Hua Nation, letting his own 3D Duck lead as the coordinator, guiding them to work overtime to establish and maintain Magic City's transportation network.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

August 6th, Hua Nation, Magic City.

The Magic City Pokemon World Expo was about to begin, drawing people from all over the world.

Originally, the expo was managed by the Twelve Branches Rabbit of Mǎotù, but as the event drew near, competitors from various countries received the latest intel that a new manager was added for the expo, Fang Yuan, one of China's Twelve Branches – The Dog.

And this time, the expo would be held in a new way.

As the host of this year's event, Hua Nation would showcase some of its competing products right after the opening ceremony, as a warm-up.

"Warm-up my Fur Ball, Fang Yuan is not playing fair, planning to drop a king bomb right at the start," someone muttered.

"After he presents his research results, will there still be a need for others to make an appearance?"

In a certain place in Hua Nation, Kong Hai and Fu Hei of the Twelve Branches twitched at the corners of their mouths as they looked at the publicity for this year's Magic City World Expo.

Eager for the legendary resources, many powerful and major countries enthusiastically participated in the competition.

And the actual situation might be, after watching the opening ceremony, they wouldn't want to stay in Hua Nation for one more second.

One can't help but feel sorry for the competitors of this expo.

"Is he serious?"

In the Magic City World Expo VIP area, the resting Alliance Honorary President Antonio looked at the publicity of the Expo's various events and also had a bad premonition.

Fang Yuan scheduled himself to go first as a warm-up. What kind of trick was he planning...

This guy, he couldn't really be eyeing that legendary resource, could he?

"President Antonio, you're here! Welcome, welcome," greeted Fang Yuan as he knocked on the door and came in to attend to this high-ranking member of the League.

Seeing Fang Yuan, Antonio stopped thinking and asked with a chuckle:

"Doctor Fang Yuan, a few months ago, you said you wanted to participate in this edition of the Expo and win the legendary resource for free – were you serious?"

Usually, he wouldn't participate in the Pokemon World Expos, but because this time the prize involved a legendary resource, President Antonio made an exception to join this one.

Of course, not to compete in matches, but to serve as a judge for the conference.

"Of course, I was serious," Fang Yuan said.

"It seems the China Association is well-prepared this time. I'm quite curious about what kind of research results you will compete with for the reward," said Antonio, stroking his beard.

Fang Yuan replied, "Well... to be precise, it's not simply to compete for that Spirit World legendary resource."

"I think, after the research results are made public, the Alliance could give me two more legendary resources, and that would still be reasonable. The Spirit World legendary resource is just incidental to the competition."

President Antonio: ????

"Dr. Fang, what kind of nonsense are you talking about…"

Fang Yuan said, "I'm quite serious. The research results have an impact that 100% surpasses Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and Energy Blocks, comparable to Dr. Ron's research on the Poké Ball. Awarding two legendary resources shouldn't be considered excessive, right?"

It was the first time Antonio had heard such information directly from Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was actually saying... the value of his research was comparable to Dr. Ron's Poké Ball research???

It could be said, without Dr. Ron's invention of the Poké Ball, the profession of Trainer wouldn't have been possible.

From this, one can understand the monumental significance of the research on the Poké Ball.

Even Mega Evolution couldn't match up to Poké Ball technology.

And now, where was Fang Yuan's confidence coming from, or rather, what exactly had Hua Nation concocted?

Antonio's expression gradually turned to one of amazement and he said, "It seems for this edition of the World Expo, for the legendary resource, the China Association is going all out to give the world a big surprise."

"With you saying that, I'm getting more and more expectant. I hope the research results from Hua Nation will be worthy of your high praise for them."

Fang Yuan replied, "Eh... to be more precise, it's not that the China Association is going all out. These research results were produced from my efforts over these few months... No choice, it's all for the Pokemon."

"But Mr. President, it's agreed, right? If the research results are widely recognized, considering the Spirit World legendary resource, the Alliance should give me two more legendary resources. That wouldn't be too much, right?"

"I hope it doesn't take too long, as I still have many Pokemon that lack legendary artifacts. I'm really in need."

Antonio: ????

Fang Yuan was speaking gibberish, and it made President Antonio's stomach ache.

However, Fang Yuan indeed harbored this ambition. The public announcement of special Poké Ball technology combined with Fairy Transport Tech was a benefit to the entire world; a single Legends Resource would not suffice.

At least two more would have to be secured, he thought.

Right now, he was in communication with President Antonio, who managed the Legends Resources, hoping for his assistance in securing more when the time came.

After Fang Yuan left, President Antonio, unsettled, took a sip of tea and started making calculations to himself.

No way, could what Fang Yuan said be true?

It must just be the boasting of a young man...

Could Fang Yuan truly present research achievements that rival the creation of Poké Balls??

If that were the case, the China Association and Fang Yuan would definitely apply for Legends Resources from the League, and the League would have to grant them.

Just that...

"If it's true, Fang Yuan alone would have taken six Legends Resources from the League; the collection of Legends Resources is almost depleted by him alone."

"If he comes up with some new trick in these two years, how could the Guardian God Wars even take place? There wouldn't be any Legends Resources left to award."

President Antonio fell into a great introspective pondering.

He was very concerned that even before the Guardian God Wars could be held, the Legends Resources would be emptied by Fang Yuan.

To take three Legends Resources from the League as one person was already unprecedented, and now, Fang Yuan had set his sights on three more???

.........

On August 7th, the Magic City Expo officially began.

Inside a venue capable of accommodating a hundred thousand people.

After President Wen of the China Association attended and delivered a speech, the hosts took turns introducing the distinguished judges.

This year's Expo had judges of extremely high prestige.

Among them was naturally the Chairman of the League, Antonio. Aside from him, figures like Dr. Luigi, who recommended Fang Yuan for the Ron Award and, also being a Ron Award recipient, developed "Mysterious shuttle technology," and Doctor Qizao, an authority in "Evolutionary Studies" and a Ron Award winner, were also judges of this Expo.

A panel of seven judges, with three being Ron Award recipients.

Beyond them were important representatives from various nations, all influential figures in their own right.

This detail alone underscored how seriously the League took this Expo, attracting so many big names of the research world; it was almost impossible for participants to gain any notable achievements by presenting meaningless products.

However, at this moment, all seven judges were looking rather troubled at the central stage.

The gaze of a hundred thousand attendees was captured by a silhouette at the center stage.

The host picked up the microphone and said, "The first to present their product is Doctor Fang Yuan of Hua Nation. Everyone is surely familiar with Dr. Fang Yuan. His research in Fossil Revival Techniques established a new Domain, and his work on Mega Evolution and Energy Blocks ushered in a new era."

"Initially, Dr. Fang Yuan proved himself for the first time through the Expo. This time, as the Expo takes place in Dr. Fang Yuan's hometown, we have invited him as a special contestant. Dr. Fang Yuan will present his latest research achievements and compete amicably alongside corporations from various nations."

"Next, let's see what kind of groundbreaking new research Dr. Fang Yuan has brought us!!"

Fang Yuan was the first to enter the stage!!

Without a doubt, Fang Yuan was currently the most renowned researcher in the field. His first appearance served as an exceptional warm-up for the event, undoubtedly top-notch.

As the host finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted, and media from all countries frantically recorded the young figure on the central stage.

The reason the judges and other contestants felt vexed was that Fang Yuan simply wasn't on the same level as the ordinary contestants!

Other Ron Award recipients, they were of judging caliber.

Yet Fang Yuan had come down to compete.

This wasn't to say that research achievements of Ron Award winners were guaranteed to overshadow all others.

In fact, the opposite could be true; even the latest work of a Ron Award laureate might turn out to be unremarkable.

After all, not every Ron Award researcher could continuously produce world-shattering, era-defining results.

This was also why other Ron Award heavyweights couldn't be bothered to compete. If one couldn't bring anything truly awe-inspiring and with such a prominent reputation, why suffer the ordeal of competing and then being eliminated?

Why allow the audience to harbor excessive expectations only to be let down? That would be just slapping one's own face.

Better to relax and be a judge, to sit back and enjoy the show.

Therefore, compared to other Ron Award winners, Fang Yuan's appearance in the competition was quite conspicuous.

"Dr. Fang Yuan has actually come to compete..."

"Is it Dr. Fang Yuan's own idea, or is the China Association leveraging the fame of our dear Doctor?"

The audience buzzed with confusion and anticipation.

The judges were also very solemn, wondering the purpose of this young prodigious researcher's move.
