Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Fang Yuan ascended the central stage with Rotom.

When Fang Yuan climbed up, his image appeared clearly on the giant screens in all directions.

In this way, the nearly hundred thousand spectators on-site could also see the situation on the central stage through the big screens with perfect clarity.

At this moment, Fang Yuan, smiling, said to the audience all around, "Hello everyone, I am Fang Yuan."

"As the person in charge of the Pokémon Expo this time in Hua Nation, let me start by showing you all some interesting things."

Fang Yuan said, "Poké Balls, you must all be very familiar with them."

"Poké Balls, invented by Dr. Ron, are the foundation of the Trainer industry, successfully making the profession of Trainer active in the world. It's the greatest invention of the past century. Today, the research results I am bringing are actually some minor modifications to the Poké Ball."

At the end of Fang Yuan's speech, the whole venue was abuzz.

Modifications to the Poké Ball??

Ever since Dr. Ron invented the Poké Ball, countless researchers have continued to devote themselves to the study of the Poké Ball.

However, the results have been less than satisfactory.

"Modifications to the Poké Ball, I wonder what kind of modifications."

President Antonio, serving as a judge, was the first to ask curiously. He never imagined that Fang Yuan's research results would concern the Poké Ball!

Fang Yuan said, "Before me, many researchers have made certain modifications to the Poké Ball."

"For example, modifications to the flash and sound that change the color of the flash and sound effects when the Poké Ball releases or captures a Pokemon."

"Or the installation of projection devices that make it more convenient for Trainers to know the condition inside the Poké Ball."

"And there are others…"

Next, Fang Yuan introduced several modifications to the Poké Ball that researchers had come up with since its invention.

Most were changes in the flash or sound effects, and the most practical modification was just the addition of projection devices.

Beyond that, there were no other new research results.

"All these modifications are based on existing features of the Poké Ball and do not affect the Poké Ball's basic functions. The modifications I am bringing next, however, directly enhance the original functions of the Poké Ball," Fang Yuan continued.

At this point, Fang Yuan took out a Poké Ball painted pink and white and placed it on the display table.

This Poké Ball had no discernible difference from the standard red and white one except for its color, at least in the eyes of the audience.

The red and white color scheme of Poké Balls is a standard set by The Pokémon Alliance, which is why there haven't been flamboyantly painted Poké Balls from different countries.

Now, Fang Yuan brought out a differently colored Poké Ball, causing the crowd to wear puzzled expressions.

Among them, President Antonio was the most perplexed. This looked like just a Poké Ball that had been painted a new color. The enhancements to the Poké Ball's original functions Fang Yuan mentioned surely must be more than just a difference in color, right?

"You might be wondering why it's pink. Quite simply, because its manufacturing material and method are not based on modern Poké Ball technology," Fang Yuan explained.

"It's made from entirely new materials, using a completely novel forging method."

"The method to manufacture Poké Balls is not unique. Dr. Ron merely found one of the possible ways."

"And I have discovered a new method."

Boom!!

With Fang Yuan's words, the expressions of the seven judges finally changed noticeably.

"How is that possible!"

"A new manufacturing method??"

"Isn't that supposed to be an impossible feat?!"

Due to different levels of knowledge, the audience only felt that Fang Yuan was very impressive.

But those researchers who deeply understood the Poké Ball technology were utterly shaken.

Since Dr. Ron's development of the Poké Ball, the materials and methods of manufacturing had been almost set in stone.

Altering it even slightly made it impossible to create a Poké Ball, which was one of the reasons other researchers couldn't tamper with the basic functions of the Poké Ball.

Now, Fang Yuan had researched a new method to create Poké Balls…

No wonder Fang Yuan said he had enhanced the basic functions of the Poké Ball!!

"Doctor Fang Yuan, what exactly is the function of this pink Poké Ball, and where does it excel compared to a regular Poké Ball?" Dr. Lucci couldn't help but inquire.

He had been very optimistic about Fang Yuan when recommending him for the Ron Prize at the London Expo, and he had high expectations for Fang Yuan's Poké Ball technology this time.

He immediately believed Fang Yuan and eagerly pressed for an answer.

From this beginning, it seemed Fang Yuan was about to reveal something truly incredible.

At this time, Doctor Magevolution Seventh Stove, Fang Yuan's superfan, was also wide-eyed.

Worthy of Fang Yuan, initially he felt helpless about Fang Yuan's lack of attention to proper affairs, but now it seemed Fang Yuan truly had cross-domain talent.

President Antonio, meanwhile, completely narrowed his eyes.

Interesting, a complete overturning of Dr. Ron's research on Poké Balls?

No wonder Fang Yuan said his research results could rival those of Dr. Ron.

The hundred thousand spectators on-site, as well as the Trainers watching the expo through television and online channels, were all fixated on the pink Poké Ball in Fang Yuan's hands.

Just what magical properties did this Poké Ball possess?

Fang Yuan quickly moved on to the next step, and with a nod from him, a staff member quickly brought over two Caterpies and some leaves.
