Greatest Pokémon Trainer

May 7.

Inside the Silver Arena, a total of 16 national confrontation matches took place.

Among them, in the fifth match, China First Team competed against Mi Country Second Team, and as expected, China Team crushed their opponents with an absolute advantage of 8:0.

On the Mi Country Second Team, there were two players with top-level combat power.

However, these two individuals didn't have the capabilities like Fang Yuan's and were fundamentally unable to affect the China Kings.

Moreover, with China's Second Team having dealt a heavy blow to the Mi Country Champion, today was a very celebratory day for Chinese spectators.

............

Night.

The atmosphere was quite good in the China Team's area.

Second Team had come to terms with their situation and were just waiting to see the First Team and Fang Yuan dominate the world competition.

Furthermore, just like during the regional preliminaries, players would compete one day and rest the next.

This day of rest was incredibly precious because starting from the first round, the gap in strength between the two teams would gradually narrow.

By the time of the last 16, quarter-final, and semi-final battles... the short one-day rest wouldn't allow for a complete recovery from the injuries sustained in the previous fights through normal methods.

That's why every player treasured this day especially.

As they walked towards the athlete's village, Jiang Li laughed and said, "Su Shu was rather unlucky today, he didn't get to compete."

With an 8:0 victory over the Mi Country Second Team, it was only natural that one China Team player didn't get to participate.

This person was the unfortunate Su Shu, there was nothing he could do... because of Gura's interview, the First Team also inherited the good luck of China's Second Team in drawing lots for the counter-attack.

Then, Su Shu just had bad luck... and drew fifth.

"This proves that I didn't cheat using superpowers," Su Shu claimed earnestly.

Fang Yuan and the others laughed, but indeed, if Su Shu had used superpowers to cheat, with Jiang Li and the others' abilities, it would have gone completely undetected.

Su Shu immediately professed his integrity.

Outside the Silver Arena, on the street leading to the athlete's village, the China Team chatted amicably as they walked.

However, all of a sudden, a five-person team approached them from the opposite direction, seemingly having come over intentionally.

This team, consisting of four men and one woman, wore uniforms of three colors—yellow, white, and green—quite unusual. On their chests was the symbol of a blue wheel, composed of 24 spokes.

These uniforms... they somewhat resembled the flag of a certain country.

"We meet again." The five-person team, led by the Indian Champion Rest, approached with a smile to greet Jiang Li.

"Oh, it's you guys," Jiang Li and his group stopped as well and responded.

India was the next opponent for China First Team tomorrow.

But instead of heading back to the village to rest after a whole day of competition, the Indian Team seemed very keen on blocking their way this late at night.

"Something the matter?" Jiang Li asked.

"Nothing much, just that we're going to compete tomorrow and wanted to come over to wish you well," said one of the short-haired young men next to Champion Rest.

His gaze was fixated on Su Shu the entire time, with a taunting intent that was extremely fervent; Su Shu glanced at him as well, then silently turned his head away, not engaging.

Don't look at me, you freak.

"Ah well, let's all have a good match the day after tomorrow," Jiang Li responded nonchalantly.

"Then, see you tomorrow," Rest said with a smile. "By the way, Dr. Fang, your match today was really cool. We almost became your fans."

Before leaving, Rest suddenly seemed to remember something and glanced at Fang Yuan in the crowd.

"Oh."

Fang Yuan was surprised, judging from the emotion waveguide of the other party... eh, they weren't particularly insincere?

So, it seems that Monferno and he really did look very cool?

The Indian Team's arrival was unexpected, and their departure was just as abrupt, leaving the ten people somewhat disconcerted.

"Su Shu, that guy with the short hair seemed to have quite a grudge against you," Xu Haoran commented.

"Maybe it's because I won the gold medal?" Su Shu replied, rubbing his nose. The short-haired young man he just noticed was Jia Lan from India, one of the three top superpower users in superpower events worldwide, and India's Super Power King.

"Plus, Teacher Kong Hai doesn't get along well with his teacher, so it's normal for there to be some hostility," Su Shu remarked nonchalantly.

Their teachers, both top superpower users in the world, had old grievances.

Now, Su Shu and Jia Lan were naturally set to perfectly inherit this animosity.

"Judging by his expression, if he gets to face you during the match, he will probably be very pleased," Jiang Li said.

"Yeah, we'll discuss it further in the meeting tomorrow. I think that Jia Lan might be even more dangerous than their champion. If any of you encounter him, you should be very careful," Su Shu mentioned.

Jia Lan was ranked second in India's scoring for the competition, just after the champion, but he rarely exerted himself to use superpower amplification during domestic games, so Su Shu believed that Jia Lan was hiding his true strength and might not be weaker than India's Champion.

The teacher of the other party was, after all, an authority in the psychic world, and Jia Lan himself was a top-tier psychic talent... Su Shu couldn't afford to underestimate him.

This populous nation, just like Hua Nation, produced a great number of Psychics. Additionally, being the birthplace of Yoga, Psychics, and Meditation Methods, it was impossible for their level of psychic ability to be weak.

"Ah, Psychics," Fang Yuan looked towards their retreating figures... wondering who would be stronger or weaker compared to his waveguides.

What a pity, he was just a substitute and probably wouldn't get a chance to confront them.

............

That night, all members of the China Team rested very well. Right now, the China Team's morale was high, and they didn't believe that India had the strength to eliminate them, so everyone slept soundly.

The next morning, Fang Yuan got up early and went to the Spirit Center to pick up his Monferno.
