Atop Ice Tundra Mountain.
The Fighting United Dojo.
A tall, young man with deep-set eyes, clad in a white robe, was battling a Trainer dressed in a fighting suit.
Each commanded their own Pokemon, and moments later, with the fall of a Machamp, the tall young man with a white headband withdrew his Death God Coffin and said, "I've won."
The tall young man was the captain of the Egypt Training Team, Cairo.
"Congratulations," said the Ice Origin Master with an expression that revealed no joy or anger. This was the second time the Egyptian Trainer named Cairo had challenged the dojo, and also the second time he had battled him. The first time had been a draw, but this time, the opponent had claimed victory.
The Ice Origin Master inwardly marveled at the opponent's speed of growth... in just two days, the opponent had managed to decipher his tactics. Even though Egypt was only a regular powerful country, it seemed that their Trainers' talents were hardly any inferior.
"Thank you, I'll come again. Next time, I hope to challenge a master... from the Extreme Martial Arts faction," Cairo said slowly. As far as he knew, among the four masters in the Fighting United Dojo, the Extreme Martial Arts Master was the strongest.
This master shared the same Fighting heritage as Xu Haoran, one of the members of the upcoming World Tournament and one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hua Nation. Cairo hoped to gain better training by challenging this master.
The Ice Origin Master said nothing. Why were these Trainers clinging to one dojo like a persistent illness? Wasn't it better for the eight United Dojos to share the honor evenly?
Outside the field, the watching Professional Dojo Defenders remained silent. Aside from the captain of the Egypt Training Team, the other members were also troublesome... they hadn't gone without challenges over the past two days.
"Cairo, something bad has happened."
Cairo's battle with the Ice Origin Master had just ended, and before the Ice Origin Master could speak again, another member of the Egyptian Expedition Team in the spectator stands hurriedly stood up, grabbed a cell phone, and ran toward Cairo.
"What's going on?" Cairo frowned.
"It's Ayasa and the others; they've encountered a strong Trainer at the public arena."
"Ayasa's Vullaby and Excavation Rabbit were both easily defeated by the opponent. Sean didn't last long in battle either, and now they're specifically asking to battle you..."
Cairo's expression changed, "A strong Trainer? Interesting, let's go there now."
Besides the Trainers of the United Dojo, Cairo hadn't expected their teammates would encounter a strong Trainer on public grounds.
And... someone who wanted to challenge him seemed to be up to no good.
Before leaving, Cairo turned to the Ice Origin Master and said, "Sorry for the disturbance, we will come to challenge again, and I hope we can have even more exciting battles next time."
"You're always welcome," the Ice Origin Master said.
"Let's go," Cairo told his teammates, then turned and left.
Soon, they stepped out from the United Dojo's battlefield.
Watching the two Egyptian Trainers leave in haste, the Ice Origin Master and the surrounding Professional Dojo Defenders were puzzled...
At that moment, in the spectator stands, a Professional Dojo Defender from Wind Fist Flow dojo, Feng Yin, started laughing. He had been looking at his phone, which had just received a message.
It was from a Wind Fist Flow Dojo Apprentice who was watching at the public field and had sent him the information.
"What happened?"
"The Egyptian Expedition Team that was holding court at the public arena finally met their match after being on a winning streak for quite a while," Feng Yin laughed.
Currently, all the formidable Trainers of Ice Plain City were gathered at the United Dojo. The Egyptian Expedition Team setting up their own challenges outside naturally didn't encounter any powerful Trainers to battle against, so they seemed unbeatable. But now, finally, an outsider had stepped up to challenge them.
"I remember Fang Yuan was planning to leave Ice Plain City today; this group of people were really unlucky to run into him on the last day."
.........
In the public battle arena of Ice Plain City, after Monferno took out Ayasa's Vullaby and Excavation Rabbit in seconds, Fang Yuan waited for the arrival of the Egyptian Expedition Team's captain. During this time, the two teammates behind Ayasa became restless and stood up to battle first.
As Fang Yuan was waiting, he figured he might as well pass the time with a battle. On his side, Monferno was naturally the one to go up, and the rules remained 2 vs. 2.
By the time Cairo, the captain of the Egyptian training team, arrived, Fang Yuan and Monferno had already completed an impressive streak of one against six.
"This." When Cairo saw the nearly three-meter-tall Mud Puppet Giant lying at the feet of Monferno, whose attribute was clearly at a disadvantage, he fell silent.
He quickly glanced at Monferno's Trainer, a young man dressed in red and white casual wear, showing a grave expression. Was this the man who was challenging him?
Cairo, with an expressionless face, walked over to Ayasa's side and said, "I'm here."
"Cairo, that Monferno is very strong, probably not inferior to your three main Pokemon," Ayasa said.
"It's okay... I've already accumulated a lot of experience in battling Fighting-type Pokemon."
While the members of the Egyptian training team were conversing, Fang Yuan smiled. Finally, their Boss had arrived. At that moment, Fang Yuan looked at Monferno and said, "Are you tired? Come back and rest awhile."
"Bwoo?" Monferno looked back blankly, not quite understanding. Wasn't that just a warm-up?
Fang Yuan took out Milotic's Poké Ball: "We should leave some opportunities for the other teammates as well~ Or how about you watch the battle?"
Monferno got it; his mission this time was to clear the way for Milotic by dealing with the small fry, and the big boss battle was Milotic's to handle.
Monferno: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
However, Monferno really didn't want to go back so early and, still huffing, chose to watch the battle, sitting next to Fang Yuan.
It was curious to see how much Milotic had improved during this time.
"Fang Yuan recalled Monferno?" Seeing Fang Yuan recall Monferno, Cen Mingzhi in the audience was puzzled. Although there had been several battles, Monferno didn't seem to get hurt much. The strongest Trainer from the other side had just come back, and Fang Yuan was now recalling Monferno, who had Master-level combat power... Could it imply that the Pokemon Fang Yuan was about to send out was even stronger than Monferno?
"Bwoo." Beside him, the taciturn Eevee seemed to have read Cen Mingzhi's thoughts and spoke indifferently. That was not likely. Monferno was indeed strong, and without relying on external forces, even the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster would have a hard time beating Monferno's Thunder Flame Mode. Although the side effects were significant, at full burst, Monferno still had the potential to be the second strongest in the team.
Eevee guessed that this time, Fang Yuan simply wanted to give Milotic an opportunity to showcase the results of its training.
"I accept your challenge." Meanwhile, after understanding the situation, Cairo approached and said, but when he saw Fang Yuan recall Monferno, he expressed his doubt, "If you're worried it has used up too much Physical Strength, we can set another time for our battle."
Of course, if possible, Cairo naturally hoped to battle Fang Yuan's strongest Pokemon. That Monferno had swept through his three teammates with unbeatable strength...
"Don't worry about it. I have other Pokemon," Fang Yuan said. "The battle rules are still 2 vs. 2, how does that sound?"
"As you wish." Seeing that Fang Yuan had no change of mind, Cairo no longer insisted and walked onto the field, taking out his own Poké Ball.
After Fang Yuan and Cairo exchanged glances, both pressed their Poké Balls at the same time.
At this moment, the other four members of the Egyptian expedition team were silent. Only those who had battled Fang Yuan knew how formidable he was, and the three team members that were defeated by Fang Yuan were also unsure whether their captain could defeat him.
However, Cairo had a good chance of moving from an alternative to a starting member in the Egypt World Tournament, so he shouldn't lose to a Hua Nation youth Trainer whose fame hadn't reached the big stage, right?
After all, Fang Yuan wasn't a renowned figure like the Four Heavenly Kings of Hua Nation.
"I heard that this Trainer dressed in white just won against an Ice Origin Master..." Besides the Egyptian training team members being surprised by Fang Yuan's strength, in another section of the audience, some Trainers had also received news from the Fighting United Dojo and were becoming rather pensive after learning this information.
