Greatest Pokémon Trainer

In the deep sea.

The Temple of the Sea kept moving.

An hour had passed since they left Deep Sea Island.

At this moment, in The Square of Sea, Xiao Mai's recently tamed Pokemon were playing in a water pool.

Coming to the outside world, especially to the Temple of the Sea, was extremely novel for them.

On the side, He Xiaomai watched them with a beaming smile.

Seeing Golduck acting like a senior and playing with them, He Xiaomai was especially happy.

"As a Trainer, I should always interact with Pokemon."

"Next time I'll play with them too."

Fang Yuan's voice sounded in He Xiaomai's ear, making her turn around.

"Teacher."

At this time, Fang Yuan, the Eevee Gang, and Manafei came out from the other's treasury.

It wasn't that Fang Yuan was scouring for treasures, but that he used Tree Fruit from Deep Sea Island to make a lot of Energy Blocks as food, which he naturally wanted to give to Manafei before leaving.

Manafei still rather liked Fang Yuan's Energy Blocks, but more than eating them itself, it preferred the function of the Energy Blocks that could lure others.

He Xiaomai looked at the Eevee and asked, "What kind of interactions do you and your Eevee usually have, Teacher?"

Usually, the thing she did most with Golduck was to watch battle videos and do chores together.

But if it were Teacher Fang Yuan, there must be some special way he gets along with Pokemon, right?

"There's a lot, 'Pokemon Glory,' 'Survival in the Secret Location,' 'Pokemon Fight the Landlord,' 'Pokemon Kart,' 'Dungeon & Pokemon'... (and many other games go unmentioned here)"

He Xiaomai: ??

......

After Fang Yuan read off a list of games he played with Eevee like reciting a menu, He Xiaomai was stunned.

Although there were many names she hadn't heard of, she was familiar with some popular mobile games, having accessed the internet for a year.

Hey hey hey, is your way of interacting just playing games??!

Isn't that a distraction from main goals??

Before He Xiaomai could figure out the connection between mobile games and world champions or Poke-mon Doctors, Manafei nudged Fang Yuan.

"Mana?? (Is that Big Fish Eat Little Fish game fun??)"

"Bwoo!! (It's not fun!!)" Eevee answered first.

It was too easy and too boring.

"Mana... (Then never mind.)"

In their brief conversation, Fang Yuan always felt like he missed the chance to coax Manafei out of there.

Forget it.

"After arriving in Binhai City, I'm planning to go back to Magic City, what about you, Xiao Mai, are you going back to Xi'an?"

Fang Yuan had already prepared to part ways with He Xiaomai and the Prince of the Sea once they returned to Binhai City.

He Xiaomai had already obtained Beginner Pokemon, and from here on out, it was her own journey of growth.

As for Fang Yuan, he had many matters to deal with back in Magic City and couldn't stay with He Xiaomai indefinitely.

"Yeah. I've been out too long; I need to go back and check in." He Xiaomai said.

"My parents are still not comfortable with me being out for too long..."

"It'll be better once you're in university. By the way, are you planning to apply to Mo Da or Emperor Capital University?" Fang Yuan laughed.

She was still at high school age, a girl no less, so it was normal for her parents to worry.

He Xiaomai really wanted to say to Fang Yuan, "Asking whether to apply to Mo Da or Emperor Capital University" was an easy way to get mocked.

But after careful consideration, she replied, "I'll choose the same university as you, Teacher."

Not only because Fang Yuan graduated from Mo Da, but also because He Xiaomai's idol, Xie Qingyi, was a graduate of Mo Da.

It was her unequivocal choice.

Fang Yuan wasn't surprised; he smiled and said:

"Two years, to become a Professional Trainer within two years."

"Strive for this goal."

"By the way, if you're interested, you might consider signing up for the Gorgeous Contest in August."

In the Temple of the Sea, Fang Yuan gave his final instructions to He Xiaomai with a smile.

Opposite Fang Yuan, He Xiaomai nodded repeatedly.

Becoming a Professional Trainer in her freshman year was something she had never dared to imagine before.

But now that Fang Yuan had asked, she would strive to achieve it.

When Fang Yuan first brought He Xiaomai to the Temple, he and Manafei made a three-year agreement.

Manafei wished for He Xiaomai to become its envoy, traveling to various seas and islands to spread the name of the Prince of the Sea.

Undoubtedly, traveling in various sea areas was a dangerous affair.

Not the King of Pirates... I mean, being the envoy of the Prince of the Sea isn't so easy.

Although Manafei would ensure He Xiaomai's safety as much as possible, Fang Yuan still hoped that He Xiaomai would build her strength first before joining Manafei on the journey.

In doing so, she would actually gain more.

Therefore, Fang Yuan negotiated three years for Xiao Mai to improve herself.

There's no rush to become an envoy.

Manafei, naturally, also agreed with understanding.

"Manafei!!" Knowing that He Xiaomai was about to leave, Manafei bade her farewell.

Manafei looked towards He Xiaomai, smiling, indicating that it would wait for her and welcomed her to visit the Temple anytime to play.

"Manafei Manafei~~~"

The training location here is always open to He Xiaomai.

Although, the two most precious places have already been wrecked by your master.

Manafei turned its head: glaring...

Fang Yuan: (￣_￣)

...

That day.

The Temple of the Sea returned to Binhai City.

Before long, Fang Yuan and He Xiaomai bade farewell to the Prince of the Sea.

On the same day, Fang Yuan helped He Xiaomai with the procedures for becoming a Trainer and possessing Pokemon.

Fang Yuan asked He Xiaomai about her next goals, to which she expressed a strong interest in taking part in the Little Phoenix King Cup that Fang Yuan had joined, and was also very interested in the Gorgeous Contest mentioned by Fang Yuan; she would strive for it.

"The Little Phoenix King Cup... the Gorgeous Contest..."

Fang Yuan mused over the names of these two tournaments, filled with emotion.

No need to mention the Little Phoenix King Cup, a purely novice competition, not very difficult, He Xiaomai is bound to win the championship, but speaking of the Gorgeous Contest, he would still need to attend an opening ceremony in August for it.

He and Milotic needed to perform a gorgeous exhibition match, and a gorgeous battle for the opening event, which was already confirmed.

He also needed to prepare now; during the performance, he had to not only shock the novices, but also take the experts by surprise.

As the founder of the Gorgeous Contest, if he didn't have anything impressive to perform, it would disappoint some of the audience who were looking forward to the Gorgeous Contest.

Fang Yuan had many ideas for the Gorgeous Contest, but he hadn't really put them into practice much during regular training.

But this time...

After Fang Yuan and He Xiaomai parted ways, he decided to return to Magic City immediately and made a decision.

He decided, the fifth Fang Yuan conference would be held following the rules of the Gorgeous Contest!

This was to get himself accustomed to the rules of the Gorgeous Contest in advance!

He just didn't know how Eevee, Monferno, and the others would take to these rules...
