Greatest Pokémon Trainer

```

Before participating in the World Championship, Fang Yuan had always wondered what it would feel like to actually become the world champion.

Would it be like playing a game where, after kicking the Four Heavenly Kings' butts and punching out the league champion, he'd be so hyped he'd explode?

In reality, of course, it might be even more thrilling.

But when it was all over, Fang Yuan felt more and more tired, just wanting to get some sleep.

May 16, 2020.

Lying in bed and sound asleep, Fang Yuan only felt like he'd had a very long dream.

From the breeding house and power plant in Pingcheng, the small puddles, to the breeding house in Magic City, the Sun and Moon Forest, and then to Dragon Island in Binhai, that dream had been so lengthy, Fang Yuan slept very soundly.

"My face hurts..."

In his sleep, Fang Yuan muttered groggily as, by the bed, an Eevee was using telekinetic control to manage several smartphones while continuously slapping Fang Yuan's face with its paw pads.

Next to them, Rotom was muttering to itself, indeed, Fang Yuan's physical strength wasn't as good as Eevee's, huh. Shortly after the match ended, Eevee was immediately lively as ever, while Fang Yuan had been sleeping like a log for a whole day.

"Damn." Under the assault of Eevee's face-slapping, Fang Yuan finally woke up with a start, opening his eyes wide, and looked at Eevee, then at the Rotom in mid-air.

Fang Yuan remembered that after using the Z-Move to defeat Carlos, he still felt spirited, but after completely winning the competition, he became increasingly exhausted, as if the string that had been taut all this while had suddenly snapped.

He had just made it to the contestant seating area, not even having the chance to brag with his teammates or to accept the worship from people like Jiang Li, when he sat down in his seat like Detective Conan drugged with sedatives and drifted into a heavy sleep.

Oh, Wave Guide soothes the mind, MEGA harms the body, and Z-Moves lead to oblivion.

Although these cheats are useful, he can't rely on them anymore...

"Rotom, what's the situation now?" Fang Yuan wiped the drool Eevee had slapped out of his mouth and asked.

"Uh... you've been asleep for a day, Rotom, and the award ceremony is already over," Rotom shrugged its shoulders as if to say what else could it be.

"Then why did you wake me up?" Fang Yuan rubbed his eyes, wouldn't it better to let him sleep a bit longer?

"You've been chosen as a Hall of Fame Trainer for this session, you need to take a group photo with the participating Pokemon, Rotom, and the time is this afternoon," Rotom explained. "Also, according to my analysis, you've already rested long enough, and there is no longer an issue with lack of spirit or physical strength, Rotom."

Grrumble, grrumble...

Fang Yuan touched his loudly grumbling stomach and got up, saying, "Nonsense."

"Bwoo!!" Eevee, busy playing with the game, also rubbed its stomach, expressing understanding, because it was hungry as well.

"Hurry hurry, book me a serving of stir-fried lamb with green onions over rice, and make sure the green onions are of the Fighting Attribute like the ones from the Farfetch'd," Fang Yuan said.

The Farfetch'd in Asia are of normal attribute while those in Europe are of the Fighting Attribute. The green onions from both types of Farfetch'd are extremely delicious. Even those green onions rejected in battle by the Farfetch'd, which are considered inferior, taste much better than ordinary ones...

"Ah, Rotom..." Rotom scratched its camera, signaling its understanding.

But soon, Rotom thought of something more important, halted, and said, "There's one more thing."

Fang Yuan's eyes blinked.

Mobile phone Rotom projected a fast image, and on the screen, a Pokemon egg was seen glowing brightly, the glow lasted for several seconds before stopping.

```

"Rotom... just as you were victorious, the spirit egg at the research facility started to stir again,"

"That egg..."

"This must be the second time that egg has shown activity. The first time was when we were at the World Tree... forget it, let's not worry about it now," Fang Yuan said. "Luo Kuo is watching over it, nothing will go wrong."

Compared to that, the pup egg they had chosen as the regional champions would probably hatch within a week; he'd have to hurry and collect it from the nursery.

Additionally, the rewards for the world champion were quite generous, though they were in a collective form, which Fang Yuan didn't care too much about, letting Jiang Li and others pick first.

.........

After Fang Yuan awoke, his teammates who had been battling alongside him this whole time came to visit him one by one in the player's village. Seeing that Fang Yuan was fine, they all felt relieved.

Because Su Shu had it worse than Fang Yuan; he was still meditating to this day.

What are their future plans? That was the topic of conversation.

In the second team, Zheng Hongyi said he was going back to being an international police officer and would train himself around the world.

Mu Fan shared that he would focus on managing his dojo after returning, aiming to promote the Evergreen Flow into the world's strongest Ground type stronghold.

Tang Xinlan expressed her wish to challenge the King's Tournament and participate in the world championship again in four years as one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Shang Ren also had the same plan, preparing to travel all over the country for training and to rechallenge the King's Tournament.

In the first team, Jiang Li planned to retire this year and, like his predecessors from the Spirit World Lineage, undertake a year of rigorous training in the depths of the Spirit World.

Yun Kai was likewise close to retiring in the next few years but planned to take a position within the association.

And Xu Haoran, planning to retire and, learning from someone, ascend Mount Everest to train in solitude to inherit the power of Extreme Martial Arts.

As for Xie Qingyi, being the youngest among the Four Heavenly Kings and eligible for the next world championship, she too planned to keep improving herself, aiming to become the champion of the Four Heavenly Kings, of course, assuming Fang Yuan doesn't participate in the King's Tournament...

As for Su Shu, he was still in meditation, but after retiring, he would likely shoulder the future of the Superpower domain of Hua Nation, just like Kong Hai.

Last but not least, Fang Yuan's plans... His plan was to quickly finalize the Energy Blocks, the Grand Contest, and the systematization of Mega Evolution, after which he could roam free. However, what concerned him most was President Antonio's prophecy about Zi Wan. If it were true, he thought it wise to sense some urgency.

Though they say when the sky falls, there'll be tall ones to stand against it, Fang Yuan didn't want to face situations that left him helpless.

What about legends descending? Even if he couldn't beat them... he could still spend this time hugging the thighs of Pokémon similar to Dream during this period!!

.........

"Doctor Fang Yuan, congratulations!!"

That afternoon, the photographer who was responsible for taking photos of Fang Yuan and his team congratulated him. She was Chinese, and ever since the match ended yesterday, the Chinese audience had been in an extremely excited state for the whole day. She was no exception, and seeing Fang Yuan in person only amplified her excitement.

"Thank you," Fang Yuan replied with a smile, and at the same time, he called over his Pokémon who had been eagerly waiting.

Eevee, the self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Monferno, Gengar, Milotic, Dragonite, Venusaur, Ditto, Klink... one after another, the Pokémon scrambled to find their places.

Eevee even climbed onto Fang Yuan's shoulder, stealing the spotlight.

Of course, the centerpiece of the photograph was still the trainer in the red and white battle uniform, wearing a red cap, at the center. The group photo centered around Fang Yuan... after its completion, it would be placed permanently in the League Hall of Fame.
