Greatest Pokémon Trainer

"We won't know until we try." Polun knew that Gura sent him out as the first one up was essentially a gift for the opponent, but he was not willing to give up without a fight.

Fight?

Watching Polun's stubborn figure, Gura, Katie, and Chaks shook their heads slightly. Even against Jiang Li and Su Shu, Polun could make use of his attribute advantage to fight and wear down the two.

But the one exception was Fang Yuan...

From the previous battle between Kamiki and Fang Yuan, the prowess of Fang Yuan's Sun Eevee had been made very clear.

After Fang Yuan used Wave Guide, the vertical enhancement of Eevee's power was not significant, but the horizontal improvement was terrifying. His profound mastery of Wave Guide was a bane of all Normal type Pokémon and Dark Type Spirits alike.

If you treat that Sun Eevee as a normal Psychic Type Elf, you'd be making a huge mistake.

"However, it's interesting that the Hua Nation Team is still sending Fang Yuan first instead of saving him for the team battle," Gura and the others mused as their expressions changed, while competitors from other countries also found this decision by the China Team rather puzzling.

...

It's not Gura!!!

Meanwhile, arriving on the field and seeing that his opponent wasn't Gura, Fang Yuan immediately lost interest.

Does this mean he won't get a chance to fight Gura until the ring battle? If Jiang Li and the others push hard, there might not even be a ring battle at all. Glutton would cry; it had been longing to beat up the Volcarona for a long time and was almost going crazy from the eagerness these past few days, having gotten significantly thinner from the hunger.

"The Champion killer, huh? Then let's see just how strong you are," said Polun across from Fang Yuan, stretching out his hand with a stern expression and pulling out his Poké Ball.

"As you wish." Although it wasn't Gura, the battle had to go on. Fang Yuan took out Monferno's Poké Ball, intending to end the battle quickly.

...

"Ladies and gentlemen, spectators friends!! The World Sprite Alliance Tournament semi-final battles are about to begin!!!"

"This match is surely one that everyone is highly anticipating. Our invincible contestant, Fang Yuan, is taking the lead once again. How will he end his opponent this time? Let us wait and see!!!"

As soon as Fang Yuan appeared on screen, the national TV stations of Hua Nation didn't even have to think.

Hype!

Hype to death!

That's all there is to it.

Fang Yuan to lose?

He might be in danger if it were a personal match against Gura, but against a Dark Type King, he would definitely not lose.

Silver Arena.

Rock and Normal terrain.

Individual battle 6VS6 duel, amidst the thundering noise of the venue, all eyes in the chairman's stand, guest seats, contestants' area, and the spectator seats were focused on the field, waiting for the two contestants to release their Pokémon.

...

On the field.

Fang Yuan was calm, while Polun was ablaze with the desire to fight; without any unnecessary words, as the referee gave the command, they both released their Pokémon at the same time.

"Three Headed Evil Dragon!!"

"Monferno!!"

Boom!!!

At the instant when the two Pokémon entered the field, the audience got immediately excited.

Polun sent out his ace, the Dual-Series top tyrant, the Quasi-god Three Headed Evil Dragon!

The Three Headed Evil Dragon was an incredibly ferocious Spirit, resembling theropod dinosaurs with blue as the dominant color of its body, covered in black fur, and its three pairs of wings on its back slowly fluttering.

Its three heads looked incredibly menacing, akin to corpses, matching the two rows of purple patterns on its abdomen, making it appear as if it had emerged from Hellfire.

Like most quasi-gods, the Three Headed Evil Dragon sees anything that moves as an enemy and attacks viciously; thus, its strength is unquestionable.

A massive wave of Evil Intent emanated from it. Although it was not as profound and mysterious as the power of Kamiki's Zororark, it was filled with a different kind of brutal and murderous aura that chilled people to the bone!!

"Roar!!!!"

After appearing on the field, Monferno faced the roar of the Three Headed Evil Dragon with a face as placid as water, its aura completely contained, unbothered.

"Top..."

Outside the field, some individuals with Special Abilities and Breeders and Trainers skilled in observing Pokémon could tell from the flames winding around Monferno's limbs and the never-extinguishing flame atop its head, just how powerful Monferno had now become.

Fang Yuan's Monferno used to rely on activating the Thunder Flame Mode to erupt with top-tier might, but now, even with its energy fluctuation completely contained, Monferno seems extraordinary, suggesting it might have undergone a complete metamorphosis.

As one of the Top Fire Trainers, Gura noticed Monferno's significant improvement in strength right away, possibly exceeding even that of Volcarona, which made him clench his fists tightly.

So, how much power could Monferno exhibit in a one-on-one fight?

Gura was very curious.

"Not Sun Eevee, but Monferno?" asked Polun.

"Eevee? It's still napping inside the Poké Ball," Fang Yuan replied with a smile, causing Polun's expression to stiffen.

Whether it was the Three Headed Evil Dragon or Monferno, both were seen as exceptionally well-bred by some top Breeders.

Although Monferno did not respond to the Three Headed Evil Dragon's oppressive aura, it was clear to the discerning eye that the gap in strength between the two was not very pronounced.

But this was merely Monferno's normal state!!

Now combined with Fang Yuan's Power of the Heart, Monferno could even open the third gate on its own with just a light injury.

Its strength had reached the pinnacle of the Top Second Stage.

Whenever Monferno's basic attributes improved, it could assimilate the power of the Thunder Flame Mode, using much stronger Lightning Flame Energy at a lower cost!!

"Three Headed Evil Dragon, use Evil Fluctuation!!" At the start of the battle, Polun waved his hand, furrowing his brows, and initiated an offensive probe.
