Fang Yuan arrived at the city governed by the Dianyuan Mountain China Trainers' Association, and inside Qiefeng Airport, a woman wearing sunglasses was waiting for Fang Yuan.
She stood quietly in the waiting area, her black hair blowing in the cold wind, her pale face beneath the large sunglasses appearing almost bloodless, her cherry-red lips slightly pursed...
The temperature in the Dianyuan Mountain area was very cold, but the woman was simply wearing a coat. In contrast, Fang Yuan, who had specifically looked up the climate of Dianyuan Mountain, was prepared with cotton-padded clothes and down jackets.
He, Fang Yuan, never made himself suffer!
"Fang Yuan? And... Luo Kuo?"
As Fang Yuan walked out of the airport, the waiting Sun Qianshang approached Fang Yuan and Luo Kuo, took off her sunglasses, and asked.
"I'm Fang Yuan. Are you... Miss Sun Qianshang?"
Fang Yuan inquired back, and aside from Luo Kuo, Fang Yuan had also found another bodyguard, the best candidate recommended by the branch of the Dianyuan Mountain China Trainers' Association after School Sister Xie Qingyi had made contact for him.
In the branch of the Dianyuan Mountain China Trainers' Association, there were two Master Level Trainers stationed, and in addition, there were no shortage of Professional Trainers.
Sun Qianshang, although only twenty-nine years old, was already a standout among Professional Trainers.
"Yes, follow me, I'll take you to the Association," Sun Qianshang said.
...
Even though Dianyuan Mountain was a perilous place, with the wilderness occupying a vast area, the city area carved out by humans was not small either.
After Fang Yuan got into Sun Qianshang's vehicle, about fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the local Trainers' Association.
Upon entering the Association, Fang Yuan and Luo Kuo followed behind Sun Qianshang,
Under the guidance of Sun Qianshang, Fang Yuan and Luo Kuo were brought to a reception room.
In the room, there was a man in his fifties or sixties, reviewing documents, and nearby, a Nature Bird perched on a faux tree.
When the man saw Fang Yuan and company enter, he slowly put down his pen and warmly greeted with a smile:
"Welcome, I am Xiang Enkun, Vice Chairman of the Dianyuan Mountain China Trainers' Association."
After entering the room, Sun Qianshang kept her eyes on the man. She had been in a hurry when she received the order and had gone to pick up Fang Yuan momentarily, not yet clear about the Vice Chairman's intention for arranging such a bodyguard mission for her.
Fang Yuan looked just like a college student traveling with his girlfriend, and yet they wanted a Professional Trainer to pick up and protect him. Could it be that he was the heir to some major enterprise?
But visiting a place like Dianyuan Mountain for tourism... the possibility was practically nil, even though there were many fools who liked adventure, Fang Yuan did not seem to be one of them.
With money and a girlfriend, wasn't it good to just live?
"Chairman Xiang, hello," Fang Yuan immediately greeted.
Xie Qingyi told Fang Yuan that Xiang Enkun, the Vice Chairman of the Dianyuan Mountain China Trainers' Association, was a One-Star Professional Trainer enjoying the Master title, a Flying-type Master. It might not be difficult to earn the Master title in a small country, but in a great nation like China, it wasn't easy...
"Have a seat," Chairman Xiang gestured.
Then, continuing with a smile, he asked, "The two of you should be acquainted with each other, right?"
"Qianshang, this Student Fang Yuan is a student from Demon Capital University. He has come to Dianyuan Mountain to evolve his Sprite Tri-Magnet Monsters. During this process, you must protect their safety well," he stated.
"Qianshang is the one amongst us in the Dianyuan Mountain Hua Country Trainer Association who is most familiar with the ins and outs of Champion Mountain. Since becoming a Professional Trainer, she has destroyed four poaching gangs that fled into our region from Hua Nation, totaling eleven people," Chairman Xiang said to Fang Yuan.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan was slightly surprised; that number was no small feat.
What an accomplishment!
At the same time, Sun Qianshang nodded, too. Although she did not reside in the mainland of Hua Nation, she had heard of the reputation of Demon Capital University.
After all, Magic City University is one of the top institutions in Hua Nation. In this way, Fang Yuan was entitled to protection from Professional Trainers, which was somewhat justifiable.
"So, have you decided which Magnetic Zone to go to?" Chairman Xiang asked again.
"Yes, I have. Let's head to the Yin Stone District," Fang Yuan replied.
Champion Mountain contained several special magnetic fields. Among them, the Pokemons that evolved through the special magnetic field of the Yin Stone District could better tap into their electric potential.
Fang Yuan had done his homework before coming. For his Trio Magnet Monsters, it was not the Steel Series' potential that should be excavated, but rather, he should further explore their electromagnetic capabilities, which was the Magnemite's strong point, the one that needed to be strengthened.
"Oh? Yin Stone District?" Chairman Xiang smiled.
The Yin Stone magnetic field was not a permanent magnet field. The magnetic force here would only erupt into extremely strong special electromagnetic waves once every three days at Noon.
Only during that time could Pokemons evolve.
This period was not long, and although it was sufficient for Pokemons to use this massive amount of energy to evolve, the extremely special high-intensity electromagnetic waves were not easily absorbed by the Pokemons. Therefore, it was impossible for Pokemons to evolve smoothly here, as in the other special permanent magnetic fields in the area.
However, this also had its advantages: only if a Pokemon had a strong enough foundation could it withstand and absorb more electromagnetic waves gain more benefits after evolving.
The difference was similar to using a low-purity Evolutionary Stone versus a high-purity Evolutionary Stone for evolution.
Occasionally, even trainers would bring their Pokemons here to evolve, causing an Electromagnetic Storm.
The Pokedex described that too many Trio Magnet Monsters together could cause an Electromagnetic Storm. However, it's not something that a single Trio Magnet Monster could achieve just by strength alone. The special environment of the Yin Stone District's magnetic field gave the Trio Magnet Monsters a brief opportunity to trigger an Electromagnetic Storm by themselves. Researchers studying the Yin Stone District Magnetic Field believed that Trio Magnet Monsters capable of causing an Electromagnetic Storm during evolution would have great potential in the future—the stronger the Electromagnetic Storm they could create, the more potential they had.
Of course, while there were benefits, there were also downsides. If the Pokemon could not with stand the sudden surge of special electromagnetic waves, not to mention evolving, they might even fall ill due to "electromagnetic imbalance."
...
That day, Fang Yuan was arranged to stay in a dormitory within the Trainer Association. Staying here, his safety was absolutely guaranteed.
However, Sun Qianshang, who had arranged Fang Yuan's room, was puzzled all along.
With this confusion, she sought out Chairman Xiang alone.
"Chairman Xiang, I have no problem protecting him, but what about that woman with him? Is he planning to bring family along into Champion Mountain?"
Chairman Xiang did not explain Luo Kuo's presence to Sun Qianshang the whole time, until now when Sun Qianshang came to ask. Chairman Xiang then smilingly said, "I didn't expect you to be deceived by appearances."
Sun Qianshang: ?
"That Fang Yuan is a university student Researcher with a bit of fame in the country. This time, it was the Fairy King himself who personally requested that we take care of him. However, apart from you, he also has another bodyguard, and that is the person beside him," Chairman Xiang looked at the Nature Bird he intentionally released, still somewhat astonished.
Even though his primary focus was on the Flying-type, he also knew about his Nature Bird's supernatural power level...
But even so, he had difficulty seeing through the Illusion Technique created by the Pokemon named Luo Kuo. The bodyguard that Fang Yuan brought with himself probably wasn't inferior to the ace of a Psychic Type Master.
