Fang Yuan's meeting with the mining tycoon Ray Pembra was confirmed for half a month later.
By then, Fang Yuan would travel to America in person.
The other party hoped to utilize the mature Fossil Revival Techniques of the Mo Da Fossil Restoration Institute to revive a Fossil Spirit, while Fang Yuan intended to take this opportunity to search for the Z Pure Crystal in Hawaii.
The acquisition of the Brilliant Stone wasn't difficult, but as for the Z Pure Crystal, Fang Yuan had never seen it on the market, so he could only go to Hawaii to check in person.
As far as Fang Yuan knew, the secret location environment in Hawaii was almost identical to the Alola Region in the Pokémon World, and there might be some unexpected discoveries.
Besides, there might also be Z Pure Crystals among Ray Pembra's special collection.
The World Pokémon Expo in London, UK, had thoroughly spread Fang Yuan's fame, and in the academic community, most people had heard the name Fang Yuan.
Even within the Trainer Domain, Fang Yuan's name was frequently mentioned.
Bang!
As Fang Yuan was contemplating, he suddenly sensed a whiff of danger. Just as he thought of instinctively dodging, he was a tad too slow.
Eevee, who was holding a phone next to Fang Yuan's seat, reacted first, but didn't move, continuing to scroll through videos because the Glutton in Fang Yuan's shadow had reacted faster, turning into a Shadow Shield that caught the pen cap wrapped in Confusion.
"Huh."
Looking at the pen cap floating beside him, Fang Yuan raised his head to look at Kong Hai approaching from a distance.
"You've made progress."
Kong Hai walked over with his hands behind his back. This was a flight heading to the Hua Nation, and the pen cap was launched using his Confusion, intended to test the results of Fang Yuan's recent psychic ability training.
Although the pen cap posed no real danger, Kong Hai had deliberately simulated a dangerous aura before the attack, aiming to treat this sneak attack as a real threat.
The outcome proved that the Eevee playing with the phone was the first to sense the danger and even discerned that the dangerous aura was just a simulation, hence it took no action. However, Kong Hai was curious whether the Eevee would have been able to save Fang Yuan in the nick of time if the Glutton had not reacted?
The next to react and make a judgment was the Glutton in Fang Yuan's shadow, which quickly turned into a Shadow Shield to intercept the pen cap. With the Glutton's strength, it could have stopped even a sniper rifle bullet.
As for Fang Yuan himself, he also noticed the danger but didn't manage to react in time. However, his progress was significant, as Kong Hai knew very well Fang Yuan's level just a few days ago. Reaching this step now was already extremely fast progress.
"Elder Kong, what should I do next to improve?"
Fang Yuan had been ambushed by Kong Hai more than a dozen times these past few days, and he hadn't perfectly dodged even once on his own, which caused Fang Yuan some frustration.
"Next? Just focus on nurturing your two Pokémon."
```
Mr. Kong Hai looked at Fang Yuan, wondering if he really believed he could rely on his superpower to perfectly dodge danger.
"That's true..." Fang Yuan mused, but he himself was quite fond of abilities similar to "Kenbunshoku Haki."
Even if he couldn't train to Nastina's level, he should at least possess the ability to take on ten at a time!
"In the face of danger, even psychics of our level like Su Shu and me need help from Pokémon. Compared to Pokémon, humans are inherently weaker in physique and spiritual power," Mr. Kong Hai said.
"By the way, I didn't ask before, how's your Eevee doing?"
Mr. Kong Hai was one of the first to know the secret of Eevee, having played a part in the arrest of Chen Shengcong, so he and Xie Qingyi were both lifesavers to Fang Yuan.
"Since then, as long as one can master this power, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. The destruction gene brought by the medicine can be seen as a Pokémon amplification item, only with higher difficulty in mastering it and greater risk," Fang Yuan said.
"Being able to master it... is truly remarkable."
"It's the Emotional Power of the Mind, right? To suppress the violent R Medicine, no power is more effective than the power of the soul," Mr. Kong Hai stroked his chin and looked at Fang Yuan with admiration. Chen Shengcong conducted numerous experiments and all ended in failure, yet in the end, Fang Yuan and his team managed to master the R Medicine. Rather than coincidence, it seemed more appropriate to say there was something unique about Fang Yuan and his team.
"Yes, that's why I began focusing on the domain of Emotional Energy of the Soul after I went to Mo Da," Fang Yuan said.
Even though he held a grudge against Elder Kong for previously refusing to take him as a disciple, Fang Yuan still respected the old man. Fang Yuan later talked with Sister Xie about the time he was hospitalized. The R Medicine researched by Chen Shengcong was ferocious yet powerful, with tremendously high potential and exceptional value. After the higher-ups arrested Chen Shengcong, it was impossible for them not to recognize the true value of the R Medicine.
As the only Eevee adapted to the R Medicine, it was coveted by many at that time and seen as an unstable factor. Under these circumstances, even though Mr. Kong Hai had only met Fang Yuan once, he and Xie Qingyi came forward to support and vouch for Fang Yuan. This assistance was significant for Fang Yuan at the time, and he didn't let them down, later successfully helping Eevee suppress the destruction gene and gradually developing its power.
"This is your opportunity," Mr. Kong Hai smiled, noting that countless Pokémon had become Chen Shengcong's experimental subjects. Fang Yuan and his team were able to turn a crisis into an opportunity, which was also quite impressive.
Everyone has their own opportunities. Mr. Kong Hai became a top superpower user also due to a special opportunity. Although opportunities are valuable, not everyone can seize them. In Mr. Kong Hai's view, Fang Yuan's ability to grasp opportunities several times typified the charm of his personality. With such talent, even without the incidents involving Chen Shengcong, Emuritto, Sun and Moon Forest, or the Temple of the Sea, Fang Yuan's future achievements would still be significant.
"Do you have confidence in helping Eevee master this power?" Mr. Kong Hai asked.
"Hmm, of course," Fang Yuan replied.
Fang Yuan glanced at Eevee next to him who was disinterested in the conversation and engrossed in its phone. Being able to master the power would be best, but if not, it wasn't an issue; Eevee's safety was paramount.
"Do you know what became of Chen Shengcong later on?" Mr. Kong Hai inquired.
"Didn't he commit suicide?"
"I mean his research findings. All his research outcomes, including the remaining R Medicine, were taken over by the Trainer Association. After the researchers in genetics, including Dr. Li Qing, failed to analyze the remaining R Medicine, it was sealed away as a taboo," Mr. Kong Hai explained, shaking his head. From this perspective, although Chen Shengcong was crazy, he indeed had considerable talent; it was just a pity that he took a wrong path.
"I have been in contact with Principal Sun and Dr. Li Qing... If you are confident in harnessing it, how about letting you take over the remaining R Medicine and its related research findings?" Mr. Kong Hai looked at Fang Yuan. Among Hua Nation's researchers, only Fang Yuan was qualified to take on Chen Shengcong's legacy.
