Greatest Pokémon Trainer

The fourth round's first battle of the Hua Nation was seized by Fang Yuan with minimal effort.

There wasn't the slightest surprise on the China Team's side.

Among the Miguodui's individual fighters, aside from Gura, no one else posed a threat to Fang Yuan.

However, the extent of Monferno's progress completely blindsided everyone!

Facing their questioning gaze, Fang Yuan said upon returning, "I did mention before, didn't I? Master Tao Xiuying brought her Fire of Life over to heal Monferno."

"Well... after recovering, Monferno broke through quite by accident," Fang Yuan grinned, without a care for the mixed emotions of Jiang Li and the others.

"You guy." Jiang Li felt stifled. What baffled them was the degree of his improvement; just a few months ago, Fang Yuan needed him as a bodyguard. Now, a few months later, Fang Yuan's prowess seemed to be slowly surpassing his own...

Sun Eevee, Monferno... even he no longer held the confidence to beat Fang Yuan reliably.

"You bunch of cheaters." Xu Haoran muttered under his breath. Last time he fought against Monferno, it wasn't yet a top-level combatant; now it could oppress Jiang Li's ace, if this wasn't cheating, then what was?

"..." Yun Kai remained silent, already contemplating retirement. These newcomers, whether it be Xie Qingyi or Fang Yuan, were profoundly exhausting for him, and he felt as though the dignity of his seniority had vanished.

Xie Qingyi was most familiar with Fang Yuan's Monferno. After all, Monferno had followed their research team everywhere since it was a Chimchar. She understood better than anyone that Fang Yuan's Monferno was merely an ordinary Pokemon raised by the Magic Big Breeding House, making its current achievements all the more remarkable.

"Damn," everyone was emotionally moved while Su Shu was freaking out.

Su Shu looked at the battle screen in agony, a splitting headache throbbing in his temples.

"Second battle, Gura VS Su Shu!"

In the middle of the arena, Muye Liuji, perched atop a Pidgeot, slowly announced the next battle's participants.

The battle screen also displayed Gura and Su Shu's portraits.

"It's over," Su Shu groaned upon seeing the scene.

He couldn't possibly win if he fought.

Going all out could be an option, but that would surely knock him out of the finals.

And he'd have to rest for half a month afterward, quite a difficult choice!

Whom should he save his explosive psychic trick for, Gura or Carlos?

"My head hurts." Su Shu rubbed his temples.

"Do your best," Jiang Li said after seeing the battle list, having no idea what strategy advice to give Su Shu anymore.

No one could have predicted that this World Championship would be filled with such monstrosities. Among these beasts, Su Shu's explosive skills were not ideal to use against any of them.

"Ah..."

Fang Yuan was slightly taken aback when he saw the list. Gura was facing Su Shu?

He just didn't know what Su Shu was planning to do...

"Don't overthink it, I'm still here. Whether it's Gura or Carlos, I'm confident in dealing with them," Fang Yuan assured Su Shu, fearing that an outburst might take Gura out of the picture.

"Ah, this." Su Shu knew Fang Yuan and Jiang Li were trying to comfort him, making him feel even more distressed.

Su Shu's expression changed over and over again...

"Alright, I believe in you guys."

Eventually, Su Shu let out a sigh.

One a Four Heavenly Kings' champion and the other a Wave-guide Messenger, a Pokemon Doctor, Su Shu chose to trust Jiang Li and Fang Yuan could counter the Fire God Gura, so he decided to save his explosive skills for Di Anxi, whom he had no hope of defeating.

Compared to meeting Volcarona, facing Di Anxi was a true cause for despair. Su Shu couldn't think of anything other than his reckless outburst that might severely damage that Di Anxi.

For the sake of becoming a world champion, he decided to give up this battle and focus on wearing Gura down as much as possible.

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

In the Miguodui's seats, Gura viewed his opponent's portrait with a serene expression.

In the individual battles, facing either Jiang Li or Su Shu was no surprise to him.

Su Shu might possess explosive psychic skills...

But Gura didn't regard it at all. Su Shu's ace hadn't even reached the Top Second Stage; relying on psychic outbursts, Pokemon might attain Top Second Stage in strength but what about the Top Level Third Phase?

Russia's previous champion's Glalie was a top-level third-phase combatant and still fell effortlessly before his Volcarona.

Moreover, his Volcarona was now even stronger than before.

Soon, the battle between Gura and Su Shu erupted.

People in the chairman stand, guest seats, players' seats, and audience seats all watched this battle with the utmost attention.

Gura's lead was his second ace, Incineroar, with Top Second Stage combat power.

As a Fire and Dark Attribute Spirit, Incineroar had a great advantage over Su Shu's main force.

On Su Shu's side, he directly sent out his ace, a peculiar Hudidi.

Su Shu's Hudidi could be described as extraordinarily gifted.

For instance, Zheng Hongyi's Hudidi, despite possessing significant psychic abilities and high intelligence, was incredibly weak physically.

Not just Zheng Hongyi's Hudidi, most Hudidis were not known for strength-based moves, which became even more evident after Hudidi's Mega Evolution, when all its muscles had atrophied.

However, Su Shu's Hudidi was astonishingly strong, able to physically endure the Destruction Dead Light, making one wonder if it had the characteristic of a strongman.

This uniquely talented Pokemon immediately reminded Fang Yuan of Brock's Little Lucky Egg from the animation. In the game, Little Lucky Egg had the lowest attack stats, fighting capacity worthless, but what was extraordinary was that Brock's Lucky Egg possessed significant strength, being able to lift a boulder larger than Rolling Rock and effortlessly toss it tens of meters high, the perfect template of a god beast.
