Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Meanwhile.

Liu Le sighed as he recalled Little Kabigon.

Fang Yuan also called back Eevee, who, apart from having used up some physical strength, hadn't sustained any injuries.

Facing an opponent whose speed was far inferior to his own and who hadn't undergone much training, if Eevee had gotten hurt, then the three weeks of special training would have been for nothing.

"Fang Yuan… Fang Yuan…"

The chubby kid Liu Le, after recalling Little Kabigon, kept muttering Fang Yuan's name as if he had just remembered something.

Facing the peer who had easily defeated him, although he felt a little frustrated, he had to admit that he and Little Kabigon were just a bit lacking compared to the other side.

"Did you just say your name is Fang Yuan?"

"That's right, what about it?" Fang Yuan asked, puzzled.

"Damn, Fang Yuan, the tough guy from class 12?" Liu Le finally remembered.

A secret location appeared in Nanwu Town, and a student from Pingcheng No.1 Middle School managed to hold on for several hours in the secret place after encountering danger, successfully waiting for rescue; and it seemed like his name was also Fang Yuan.

Of course, all this he had seen on social media.

"Are you the unlucky one who accidentally entered the secret location?"

Fang Yuan's mouth twitched, had he really become that famous?

"I am that unlucky guy."

"Bwoo..." Eevee chuckled to itself.

"So it really is you! Never mind then, losing is losing." Liu Le accepted his fate; winning or losing didn't matter, the other guy was tough enough to survive in a secret location.

To the common person's eye, a secret location has always been associated with danger and casualties. It was just Fang Yuan's luck that the disaster level in the secret location he encountered was not high, which allowed him to survive by a fluke.

Just like the secret location that appeared in Liaoxi Grand Canyon last month, the carnivorous ancient Pokémon there were nothing like Rattata and Spearow could compare to.

The overlord of that secret location, Fossil Pterosaur, even chased and fought against four professional trainers!

Fang Yuan had also seen related news.

At this moment, Mr. Shanmi and Liu Le's dad came down from the audience seats.

Hearing the conversation between Liu Le and Fang Yuan, Liu Dad was also surprised. He was clear about the situation in Nanwu Town and had not expected Fang Yuan to be the one who had met with danger.

Compared to him, Mr. Shanmi was much more composed. He already knew most of the information about Fang Yuan through Yang Han.

After walking over, Mr. Shanmi clapped his hands and said, "That was quite an exciting battle; hard to imagine it was between two new trainers."

"Indeed." Liu Dad revealed a kindly smile, looked at Fang Yuan, then seriously turned to Liu Le and said, "Liu Le, look at him and then look at yourself. If you don't work harder, later on don't blame me for not acknowledging you as my son!"

Ahem...

Fang Yuan had a strange expression on his face; had he also become the "child of someone else's family"?

This feeling… wasn't too bad.

"This…" Seeing Fang Yuan's smug smile, Liu Le shrugged his shoulders. Alright, after losing the battle, he just couldn't summon the energy to speak confidently.

"Let's call it a day. I need to take care of some things later on, Liu Le, let's head home first," Liu Dad said, glancing at Liu Le's helpless expression and chuckling to himself, already having thought of a way to deal with his son.

"I got it," Liu Le said.

...

Liu Le and his father didn't stay long at the Starshine Battle Club. After Mr. Shanmi sent them away, he started attending to Fang Yuan.

"Let's get reacquainted. I'm the person in charge of the Pingcheng Branch of the Starshine Battle Club. You can call me Uncle Shan."

"Uncle Shan," Fang Yuan said.

"Bwoo!" His Eevee on the shoulder echoed.

Mr. Shanmi smiled slightly and said, "Your performance was good. I'll give you a contract to look at in a moment."

Fang Yuan was delighted in his heart. There was money to be made.

"Alright, let's end the talk about work here and move on to the main issue," Mr. Shanmi said.

"Yang Han has told me everything about you. You're planning to participate in the Little Phoenix King Cup, right? From the battle situation just now, it seems you've really put a lot of effort into training Eevee. It's quite comprehensive. I think among the New Trainers of your batch in Pingcheng, you should be at the very front."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan felt understood. The hardships he and Eevee had gone through during their special training were known only to them.

"Yang Han asked me to help you shore up any weak areas. I think I know what to do now. Do you and Eevee have any methods to deal with Ghost-type Pokémon?" Mr. Shanmi asked.

"No," Fang Yuan shook his head and then said, "I was thinking of getting an item for Eevee to bite, to see if it would learn the Bite Technique that way... but someone told me it wouldn't work."

"Of course that won't work. Bite involves the use of Dark Type Energy–it's a use of Dark Type Energy. Teeth are just carriers of the energy. Even if the teeth are sharp, without understanding how to manipulate Dark Type Energy, you'll never learn Bite," Mr. Shanmi explained.

"And, Dark Type Energy is relatively scarce in the outside world; learning Dark Type Moves isn't that simple. However, the strength of a Normal type Pokémon like Eevee lies in its adaptability. If we find the right method, it should be able to master Bite in a short time."

"Then... what about Shadow Ball?" Fang Yuan greedily asked.

In the game, Bite was a move Eevee could learn by leveling up, while Shadow Ball could only be learned through a Moves disc.

The difficulty of learning the two could be understood at a glance.

"Shadow Ball..." Mr. Shanmi laughed: "Don't even think about that. I don't have the Moves Secret book for that move, and even Yang Han would have to pay a hefty price to get it. You must remember, the secret books of moves like Superpower, Ghost, Dragon are the rarest. Ordinary Trainers are not willing to share them with others."

"Of course, if you have the talent, you can also create your own set of moves teaching Secret book. When you can do that, you'll be one step closer to becoming a Professional Trainer."

Fang Yuan: "..."

A Professional Trainer must possess a minimum of training insight, which at the very least includes having created an Advanced Technique Secret book.

Fang Yuan was, of course, aware of this, but for now, it was just a thought.

"I've talked too much about other things. As you've seen, I will be your personal coach. It's a private matter between Yang Han and me, so I'd be embarrassed to ask anyone else. During this period, I'll teach your Eevee the Bite technique free of charge."

"Besides that, I heard your Eevee was lucky enough to eat a Sand Scale Fruit, and the effects of the Tree Fruit probably haven't been fully discovered yet, right? I'll help you out with that as well."

"As for other things... we'll see when the time comes."

Fang Yuan nodded, and so did Eevee. It seemed that after completing his training at the Starshine Battle Club, he would have a way to deal with Ghost-type Pokémon.

However, Fang Yuan felt that this alone wasn't enough. Eevee's foundation was already up to standard, and its Moves pool would soon be complete, but if there was an area where it had an advantage, it was probably only the training targeted at its abilities.

Should he consider... giving Eevee another ace up his sleeve during this period?

He almost had an idea.
