Greatest Pokémon Trainer

"If it can't be stopped by Destiny Bond, how do we fight?"

"It's more than that. Did you see that pitch-black tearing attack? Just the wave motion it emitted caused a crack in the arena, but it only left a mark on the Light Wall. That Di Anxi is too ridiculously strong."

Inside the Silver Arena, it was a cacophony of noise.

"There's no helping it, without the destructive power of Guardian God Level Moves, it's impossible to inflict serious damage on it."

From the VIP stand, Lady Zi Wan, someone who was quite familiar with Di Anxi, knew very well the strength of its defensive power, but could Guardian God Level attacks occur on this stage?

There was hardly any chance of that. Guardian Gods... On the whole Earth, the Trainers who possess such level of power can be counted on one hand, and the World Tournament is just a youth event after all.

"This year's World Tournament really started an unfortunate precedent," President Antonio mused silently, wondering if Fang Yuan over there would get angry...

Currently, the entire audience in the Silver Arena had their eyes glued to the battle screen.

As Fang Yuan's avatar appeared, Fang Yuan himself walked out from the Hua Nation players' entrance.

On his shoulder still sat the signature Eevee. The pressure from Di Anxi seemed as though it wasn't felt by him at all.

"Leave it to me."

As he passed by Jiang Li, Fang Yuan spoke up, and Jiang Li just smiled wryly. This year's World Tournament was truly taxing.

The Hua Nation contestants who saw Fang Yuan and Jiang Li pass by each other all fell silent. They were already a bit afraid to watch the battle unfold.

.........

Silver Arena.

Central battlefield.

Fang Yuan had now arrived across from Carlos.

Di Anxi, having defeated its opponent, was still standing strong on the field. The battle with Jiang Li did not seem to drain much of its energy, which showed that the pressure Su Shu put on Di Anxi might have been even greater.

Before Fang Yuan sent out a Pokémon, Carlos and Di Anxi couldn't help but look towards Fang Yuan, trying to understand the meaning of his words from earlier.

Although the phrase was also recorded in the Diamond Mine Nation, due to the passage of time, Di Anxi simply could not comprehend the meaning of Zhenyas's words.

"Doctor Fang Yuan, what exactly did you mean by what you said yesterday?"

Facing Fang Yuan who stepped onto the battlefield, Carlos asked.

"I meant it literally," Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"Lord Fang Yuan... please do your best," Di Anxi pleaded on the field.

Fang Yuan had a calm expression; after all, he didn't really know much.

Fang Yuan's actions led Carlos and Di Anxi to mistake that Fang Yuan did not wish to answer. Carlos took a deep breath and said, "Doctor Fang Yuan, if we can win this battle, may we request to become your students and learn about Mega Evolution from you?"

"I will do my utmost!!" Di Anxi promised.

Carlos and Di Anxi's each and every word left the Head Referee Maki Noboru-hime in the sky dumbfounded, wondering what was going on.

The allure of Mega Evolution, huh?

Could a Phantom Pokémon even undergo Mega Evolution?

"While I understand your feelings, this is the first time I've heard of this kind of wager for a battle," Fang Yuan said, speechless.

"Moreover, you don't really think that, with your current strength, you can be invincible, do you?"

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Carlos and Di Anxi were taken aback. They, of course, didn't think they were invincible, but on the stage of the World Tournament, even against Fang Yuan's Super Ghost shown earlier, Di Anxi was confident it could cope.

They couldn't imagine how they would lose.

Seeing the bewildered Carlos and Di Anxi, Fang Yuan's expression remained unchanged. His shoulder's Eevee sighed and then leapt down, stepping onto the field one step after another.

"Bwoo..."

As it walked, Eevee's body sparkled with white light, and by the time it arrived on the battlefield, it had successfully evolved into Sun Eevee.

Its gaze, fixed on Di Anxi, was exceptionally calm.

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

"No way... did you all hear their conversation?"

"Yeah... Carlos wants to learn about Mega Evolution and is using the battle as a wager."

"And Doctor Fang Yuan... just outright said they don't think Carlos will win???"

Faced with a Legendary Pokémon, Fang Yuan... still so confident??!

"Could it be that Sun Eevee can also Mega Evolve?"

"How could that be possible, the ability to freely evolve and devolve is already unfathomable."

On the VIP stand, Antonio and Lucymia started to let their imaginations run wild due to Fang Yuan's confidence.

It was Kong Hai who kept a serious expression throughout; he knew that this Eevee had genes that appeared to be from a Legendary Pokémon.

Speaking of which, was the full combat strength demonstrated by this Eevee previously its limit?

It was impossible to judge.

"This Eevee is quite exceptional," Lady Zi Wan remarked after observing Sun Eevee for a moment, affirming its quality. However, she still did not believe that Fang Yuan could defeat Di Anxi.

It was a matter of the disparity between species.

Now, as Sun Eevee and Di Anxi began their standoff, every spectator in Silver Arena held their breath.

The Hua Nation contestants like Jiang Li even clenched their fists tighter, beads of sweat rolling down.

"Di Anxi!!"

Facing Fang Yuan, although Carlos felt confident, there was still certain pressure, and she unexpectedly began to initiate attack orders.

Under Carlos's command, Di Anxi's gemstone-like pupils instantly deepened, brimming with a will to fight.
