Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Before they knew it, two days had passed.

As the event of the Mewtwo game drew nearer, unrest grew within the Hua-Day Two Nations.

In these two days, the Mane Rock Werewolf still had no solution for the black energy in the energy crystal.

Similarly, Fang Yuan was at a loss with the enigmatic vault of Dream.

Damn Dream!

Why make the vault so secretive.

Fang Yuan sighed helplessly and eventually gave up.

Let's just go and prepare for the Mewtwo game and meet the president of the association and the Twelve Branches of this space and time.

"Are you leaving now?"

After Fang Yuan and his party decided to leave, He Xiaomai asked.

She had learned from Xie Qingyi about their next goal—to participate in the Mewtwo game.

He Xiaomai wasn't the least bit disinterested in the Mewtwo game.

She too wanted to save the hundreds of thousands of hostages and to understand why Mewtwo challenged Dream.

However, neither she nor the Trilogy Deity Pillar could leave the World Tree Remnants.

"Yes, but we will come back."

"It should be after the Mewtwo game," Fang Yuan said.

"Please be careful," He Xiaomai said.

"Wait for our good news," the future senior sister said to He Xiaomai with a smile.

Although she had not seen Fang Yuan fight, simply by virtue of Fang Yuan having tamed Darkrai and Victini and being a World Tree Guardian, the future senior sister was convinced that Fang Yuan was not weak.

Plus, Fang Yuan claimed to be the strongest trainer in that space and time, which filled the future senior sister with confidence in him.

She believed that Fang Yuan could definitely resolve the Mewtwo incident smoothly.

Now, what the future senior sister was most curious about was which Pokemon in Fang Yuan's team was the strongest.

Darkrai, Victini?

Or the special Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Eevee?

Or perhaps the Mega Evolving Venusaur, Gengar?

She would likely find out soon.

...

That day, Fang Yuan and the future senior sister arrived at the Trainer Association Headquarters.

Fang Yuan was still in his red and white battle suit, and wore a matching red and white cap which covered the upper part of his face, giving him an air of mystery.

Actually, Fang Yuan wanted to put the Eevee lounging on his shoulder into the Poké Ball.

It would have been fine in his original world, as everyone there was used to it.

But in this world, his persona was that of the strongest trainer from a different time and space. It simply wouldn't do for the strongest trainer to have an Eevee on his shoulder—it wasn't becoming.

It wasn't conducive to establishing his enigmatic persona. He should probably switch to Shiny Gengar, Darkrai, lord Venusaur, or the Guided Form of Mane Rock Werewolf following behind for increased prestige.

"Bwoo!"

On his shoulder, Eevee squashed Fang Yuan's idea, absolutely refusing. Worse came to worst, it could just friendly challenge the Twelve Branches later to prove its worth!

Chilled by the thought, when would Eevee finally stand up for itself? Was it wrong to look cute?

"Let's head over," said the future senior sister walking ahead of Fang Yuan: "The Twelve Branches should be waiting for us in the reception hall."

"Then let's go," Fang Yuan said.

At that moment, in the reception hall of the Trainer Association Headquarters.

The core leaders of the China Association had indeed gathered there.

President Wen, Rat Kuei, Tiger Pay Black, Dragon Cloud, Wu Ma Machenzong, Rooster-Xu Yifeng, Wei Yang Qiao Jing, Mǎotù Yang Su, Sìshé Miao Ji, Ugly cow white white, Shēnhóu Sun Hǎicháo.

A total of eleven people.

If Kong Hai hadn't been detained as a hostage, there would be twelve, all present.

This gathering was more complete than when Fang Yuan challenged the Road of Champions in another space and time.

Because of the Mewtwo game, a major event affecting the whole of China, even Chǒuniú and Shēnhóu, who were usually abroad on missions, had specially returned.

However, although the Twelve Branches were all in the country, these individuals each headed different departments, and it was not an easy task to gather them all in one place.

The Mewtwo game was fast approaching, and there was so much that needed to be handled.

Each of these people was incredibly busy, yet they had all come together here because of one individual.

The Strongest Trainer in a Different Time and Space.

Fairy Champion Xie Qingyi, who was also considered part of the upper middle echelons of the China Association, had brought information that was too shocking.

Now, the Twelve Branches had gathered to witness the Strongest Trainer in a Different Time and Space for themselves.

Thunk!

The future senior and Fang Yuan had an unobstructed journey to this place. In the reception hall, among the eleven individuals, some were standing, some were sitting, but when Fang Yuan and his companion entered, all eyes unanimously turned to them.

The gaze that fell on the future senior lingered for but a moment before turning to Fang Yuan.

There he was, Fang Yuan, hanging an Eevee on his shoulder, looking even a few years younger than Xie Qingyi.

Silence.

Utter silence.

The Strongest Trainer in a Different Time and Space, huh?

Although they had already learned from Xie Qingyi that 'Chi' was a very young and special trainer, they had not expected Fang Yuan to be just over twenty years old.

Someone who could be called the strongest should be at least in their thirties, after all, that is when a Trainer's experience is most abundant.

After entering, Fang Yuan didn't initiate conversation but slightly tipped his hat upward, and Eevee, paying no mind to the Twelve Branches, started observing the surroundings.

Even though it's a parallel universe, people looked the same; Eevee found it uninteresting.

However, Eevee thought Master Kong Hai was quite pitiful to be absent. They should hurry and rescue him.

"President, dear seniors, this is 'Chi'."

Seeing the silent president and the Twelve Branches, the future senior knew it would be this way.

What could she do? She was also in despair. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have been able to believe it.

"Hello," President Wen was the first to speak.

"President Wen, no need for formalities," Fang Yuan smiled. "Even though we're from different times and spaces, you're all my seniors. Master Kong Hai has been kind to me, so I will give my all in the Mewtwo game."

"By the way, for certain reasons, 'Chi' is my alias. I will use this name during the Mewtwo game."

Chi, the name obviously fake, was clear to the Twelve Branches, though they didn't point it out.

And for Fang Yuan, there was no need to hide anything from these people.

After all, he'd be discussing "big deals" with them later; it was better to be open, and using an alias during the Mewtwo game was enough.

"My real name is 'Fang Yuan', the World Tree Guardian of another time and space, and also one of the Twelve Branches of the China Association, the Dog."

Fang Yuan smiled.

He laughed, but President Wen and the rest of the Twelve Branches were stunned.

They looked towards Xie Qingyi.

Xie Qingyi hadn't told them that Fang Yuan was one of the Twelve Branches from a different time and space!

Faced with the gazes of the Twelve Branches, Xie Qingyi nodded; since Fang Yuan was using an alias, she hadn't reported much about him…

"One of the Twelve Branches…"

President Wen and the other twelve went silent.

They couldn't believe they had allowed a young man in his early twenties to become the Dog.

In the end, he was still too young.

The other Twelve Branches observed Fang Yuan, who seemed somewhat different from what they had imagined.

But that seemed normal; if Fang Yuan was the World Tree Guardian from another time and space, they should compare him to He Xiaomai from this universe. They were all well aware of He Xiaomai's age.

Perhaps Dream liked it that way, favoring younger people.

Yet could such a young man really claim to be the strongest in space and time, wandering around with an Eevee at that, which didn't sound very convincing.

After the silence, President Wen and the Twelve Branches glanced at Fang Yuan tacitly.

No matter if it was about being the strongest in space and time or about the Twelve Branches, they were ultimately quite unfamiliar with Fang Yuan.

That is to say, no matter what, they needed to test Fang Yuan here.

Even if Fang Yuan really was the strongest trainer, currently, with the Guardians Gods of Hua Nation here and able to be commanded, testing Fang Yuan was still feasible.

After all, no matter how strong a trainer was, their Pokemon were at best of the Ordinary Guardian God level, and Fang Yuan, observing the Twelve Branches, awaited their test. He always felt the Mewtwo game was no simple matter, and it seemed like a setup where figures of the Twelve Branches' caliber would only be going to their defeat.

Master Kong Hai was an example. His strength was among the top within the Twelve Branches; yet, he was taken down in a second. Fang Yuan truly hoped not to have too many teammates dragging their feet, so he had to find a way to dissuade them.
