Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Is that it?

Crystal Steel Snake and I get beaten up for no reason... and it's over?

Coughing up blood.

The folks behind the scenes in the Twelve Branches are also feeling queasy, but still, it's a relief for everyone.

It seems they no longer need to step in.

In the meeting room, while the Twelve Branches breathe a sigh of relief, President Wen looks at the young man explaining the situation to the Pokémon on the screen, and falls silent again.

Terminate the challenge, huh...

It's less about Fang Yuan breaking the rules, and more that he's too strong, they've banned his account.

He didn't register, but judging from the situation, there's no doubt that Victini belongs to Fang Yuan.

President Wen chuckles inwardly; he never imagined the day would come when someone would fear challenging the Road of Champions he created.

"It looks like we'll need to add a new rule to the Road of Champions... No challengers may use Phantom Elves or Legendary Pokémon..." President Wen felt choked.

He didn't feel choked up for long before he said to Fang Yuan on the screen, "The Road of Champions is always open for you. Since you've made your decision, come back and take up your post in the Twelve Branches."

The Road of Champions is quite resource-intensive whenever it's launched, and this was only a half-opening.

If all ten challenges were to be initiated, at least three Guardian God Level powers would need to be employed. Even if the current Twelve Branches wanted to use it as a training ground, President Wen would not allow it.

But for Fang Yuan, he decided to make an exception, because he could see that Fang Yuan was indeed using the Road of Champions for his own training. For such a young man with unlimited potential, the Road of Champions is worth opening multiple times.

"Take over a position among the Twelve Branches, huh..." Fang Yuan nodded.

Almost forgot, that's the urgent matter.

Even though he failed the challenge of the Road of Champions, it couldn't stop him from becoming one of the Twelve Branches.

After all, it was his research achievements, not his combat power, that were key to becoming one of the Twelve Branches.

However, speaking of combat power, unless Hua Nation has some hidden high-end Guardian God Level Combat Power, Fang Yuan felt that the combination of Victini and Darkrai would be very difficult to solve...

September 1st, 2020.

7 PM.

Many Trainers turn on their televisions as usual, tuning into the Trainer Channel to catch up on Trainer Domain news.

For the vast Trainer Domain, those who follow the news via television are only a small fraction.

More people are accustomed to using the internet to receive some of the more important information.

Besides that, some higher-ups in the association have their own exclusive channels to receive the latest information.

In this ordinary start of the school season, a significant event occurred in Hua Nation.

This event not only shook Hua Nation but also sparked various degrees of reaction in over a hundred countries around the world, including the U.S.A., France, Russia, Japan, and the U.K., within the Trainer Domain.

A short video spread rapidly across the world.

In the video, a man in a suit is shown.

He's undergoing the award ceremony to become a Dog of the Twelve Branches of China.

20 years old... member of the Twelve Branches. It's outrageous, but when applied to this person, not all that surprising.

While a major nation undergoing such a change is noteworthy, it's Fang Yuan's multiple identities and the mission entrusted to him by China Association that have caught the attention of the entire world.

The figurehead of Hua Nation's third Trainer Tide.

At this moment, those who knew Fang Yuan, and those who didn't, all experienced very complex emotions when they saw the young man on the screen.

Especially the younger generation...

Being born in the same era as Fang Yuan, is it a good thing, or a bad one...

The Pokémon Alliance described him thus:

"Fang Yuan, with his passion for Pokémon and his exploration of the unknown, has created one world-class miracle after another. His talent is the most precious gift given by God to the Trainer Domain. This exceptional young man will not only be the catalyst for the third Trainer Tide in Hua Nation but will also set off the world's third Trainer Tide. A new era will arrive with his presence, and the name of this era will be 'Fang Yuan'."

The name of this era will be Fang Yuan...

Only someone like Union President Antonio could put it so boldly; the old man must be very eager to flatter Fang Yuan to the point where Fang Yuan would publicize Mega Evolution.

But Fang Yuan isn't falling for it; he's rather narcissistic and takes it all as truth.

Regardless, after today, with his new status in China's Twelve Branches added to his previous fame, Fang Yuan's name will echo throughout the entire world's Trainer Domain.

On the same day.

At the summit of Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, a small fissure appeared, and a pink Pokémon emerged, flitting about near inhabited areas.

After a while, the little creature perched in front of a family's window and froze upon seeing the news about Fang Yuan on the television.
