Greatest Pokémon Trainer

A day later.

Although the secret location had been promptly sealed off by the Trainer Association, quite a few Pokemon still managed to make it outside through the dimensional passage...

So, because they were not at ease about Fang Yuan's grandparents continuing to live in Nanwu Town, Father Fang and Mother Fang brought them to Pingcheng.

Fang Yuan and Eevee naturally came back as well.

After returning, somehow the news of his incident spread, causing the entire school to become aware of it, and even the school leadership personally visited his home to pay their respects.

In the class group chat.

Fang Yuan scrolled through the chat history for a long time and found out that the news started spreading from here. He couldn't help but @ the culprit.

Fang Yuan: @Lin Jing

After a while...

Lin Jing: Sorry, I couldn't keep my mouth shut, (｡ŏ_ŏ).

Lin Jing: I heard from my dad that the person who encountered danger this time was a student from Pingcheng; to think it was actually you. Are you alright?

Lin Jing: Now everyone really admires you. Come on, tell us what you experienced in the secret location.

Zhang Jiale: Fang Yuan has risen from the dead!

Li Mu: Fang Yuan has risen from the dead!

Repeat message x11.

Fang Yuan: ...Got something on. Gotta slip away.

Fang Yuan immediately closed the group chat. In just a few seconds, several spam messages popped up; he just couldn't deal with it.

His phone had just been repaired, and now he didn't want to face an onslaught of messages.

Speaking of which, Lin Jing's father also seems to be a Professional Trainer; just not sure if he went to Nanwu Town this time.

"Eevee!"

"Keep your voice down, I need to do my homework."

Sitting relaxed at his desk, Fang Yuan took a deep breath, and then called out to the living room.

The Eevee watching TV in the living room reluctantly turned down the volume: (눈‸눈)

"Next, let's just take a day's brief rest, as a holiday for both me and Eevee. Should I do this math homework or this Chinese homework."

Fang Yuan looked at the two workbooks on the desk.

In the end, he opened his computer.

Let's make a training plan for Eevee for tomorrow!

Suddenly, for some reason, the Eevee in the living room sneezed...

As evening approached, with a "thump! thump! thump!" the Eevee with tears streaming down its face hit the pause button on the remote control, though what it had watched was unclear.

"Bwoo?"

Fang Yuan also came out of the bedroom, somewhat puzzled; who could it be this late?

"Coming."

He called out and quickly hurried over to open the door.

The man outside had an average build, a well-proportioned waist, strong limbs, broad and round shoulders, and a high, proud chest. He looked very sturdy, and most importantly, he had a very bad complexion, as if Fang Yuan owed him a lot of money.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan's mouth twitched, and he was baffled inside. How had he not noticed before that the man looked so fierce?

"Brother Yang, what brings you here?"

The ill-tempered uncle standing before him was none other than the Professional Trainer Yang Han, who had rescued him and Eevee from the secret location on his Charizard.

"Looks like you both have recovered quite well," Yang Han remarked as he sized up Fang Yuan and the Eevee that ran over.

Compared to before, their spirit qi seemed much better now.

"Brother Yang, come in and have a seat," Fang Yuan hurriedly said, forcing himself to call him 'brother' a few times. Old Yang was nearly old enough to be his father and still liked to act young—he must be single!

In the house, Fang Yuan looked everywhere but couldn't find anything suitable to offer as a drink. He could only boil some water. However, his visitor clearly hadn't come just to see him and didn't mind the lack of hospitality.

Sitting on the sofa, Yang Han looked at Fang Yuan and said, "The type of seed core has been analyzed. It's a Sand Scale Fruit. The tree guarded by the Pidgeot is also a Sand Scale Fruit Tree."

"That fast?!" Fang Yuan was startled, it had been only one day, well, actually, it wasn't too fast.

"Since the fruit tree is fully protected by the Trainer Association, the value of the seed core isn't very high. Even so, as the discoverer of the Sand Scale Fruit Tree, I've received a decent amount of Merit Value, which is very helpful for my promotion," finally, a smile appeared on Yang Han's face.

"As long as it's useful. By the way, has the Pidgeot been dealt with?" Fang Yuan asked.

"Don't worry, the secret location is no longer dangerous. This time, it wasn't a difficult one to deal with. The most powerful Pokemon there was just that Pidgeot."

While speaking, Yang Han stared at Fang Yuan, "The Sand Scale Fruit was eaten by your Eevee, right?"

Fang Yuan nodded.

"I heard from Doctor He that you and your Eevee are planning to enter the Little Phoenix King Cup in Magic City, so you've been specially training in that dense forest?"

"That's correct."

Yang Han thought for a moment and then said, "Those seed cores are indeed useful to me, so consider me in your debt. I stand by my word, and don't be in a hurry to refuse. I don't like to beat around the bush, so I plan to repay you as soon as possible. But before that, I have a question for you."

"How did you and your Eevee spend those few hours in the secret location?"

Fang Yuan and Eevee were both taken aback. Why ask this...

Fang Yuan recalled the events and simply described their battles and escapes.

"Bwoo~"

His vivid description made Little Eevee feel as though it was back in that situation, causing it to shudder violently.

"The truth?"

"The truth."

"Good, I'll give you two choices," Yang Han said, "Your compensation for mental damage will be issued in a few days. The first option is that I'll try to get you as much compensation as possible, which should be very helpful in nurturing your Eevee."

He had heard almost everything about Fang Yuan from Doctor He. For a New Trainer who was reluctant even to buy nutritional supplements, a substantial sum of compensation would indeed be very beneficial.

"What's the second option?" Fang Yuan asked.

"In the time before the Little Phoenix King Cup, I can arrange for someone to give you and your Eevee some targeted training. Additionally, I'll provide you with a way to make money so you can buy some nutritional supplements or training equipment for Eevee. To be honest, with your current level and that of your Eevee, you wouldn't make it to the end of the Little Phoenix King Cup."

"The situation in Magic City is not like in Pingcheng."

Having said that, Yang Han waited for Fang Yuan's response.

I want both!!

Forget it…

"I'll choose the second option," Fang Yuan immediately said.

"But, Eevee and I still need to train. We hardly have any time to work..."

"Who says you can't earn money while training?" Yang Han replied, "There are quite a few New Trainers like you who, in order to earn money, often hang around the public battle grounds, challenging well-off New Trainers with money as the wager. However, without strength, I wouldn't recommend this method as it's very inefficient. The winnings might not even cover the cost of treatment and restoring Physical Strength, let alone gaining some practical experience."

"Battling for money..." Fang Yuan's eyes lit up. How had he not thought of that? After all the training, he was very confident in Eevee's abilities. Against other New Trainers, there shouldn't be a problem.

"Don't even think about it. That method wastes too much time. Even if you wait for two or three days, you might not encounter a suitable 'deal'. I'm going to introduce you to a more suitable job," Yang Han said.

"Take this." Yang Han handed Fang Yuan a silver card.

It read "Starshine Battle Club" in seven big characters.

Starshine Battle Club...

Fang Yuan was stunned. It was one of the most well-known large battle clubs in the country with branches in many cities, including Pingcheng.

"Battle Club, sparring partner, interested?"

"There, I'll also arrange for an experienced coach to help you and Eevee make up for deficiencies. How about it?"
