Two days later.
Fang Yuan and Jiang Li returned to Hua Nation.
Upon arrival to Hua Nation, Jiang Li couldn't wait to leave.
Being Fang Yuan's bodyguard for so long was unbearable for him. Had he known, he would have turned down this mission at all costs...
He had no idea how he would face this substitute member months later at the World Championship.
Whereas Fang Yuan, full of gains, immediately returned to the institute.
First, he stored the four Genesect fossils and the Beedrill Mega-stone, along with the mysterious elf egg from Darkrai and the last bottle of R potion, in the same place.
The mysterious elf egg still showed no signs of hatching. R potion and Genesect fossils were not for research now, Fang Yuan planned to study them one by one when he had time.
Compared to these, Fang Yuan's current mission was to further digest the other two gains from his trip to Hawaii.
...
Two days later, in the backyard of the Fang Yuan Institute.
Fang Yuan, with his wrists wrapped in bandages, leaped down from a rock. Behind him in the void was a dissipating sea of white fire and blue lightning.
Within the white fire sea, Glutton devolved back from the Super Ghost state, and the Armed Magnetic Monster also completely separated.
Fang Yuan lifted his arm to test how much strength he still had.
A low spirit, a weary body, these were symptoms of using the Power of the Heart excessively.
Fang Yuan shook his head and said without surprise, "It's good enough. Under the amplification of the Heart Power, Super Ghost can now maintain a fierce battle state for 3 minutes, but it's still not quite enough. It would be better to keep it over 5 minutes!"
"Fierce battle state" referred to Glutton continuously using White Flame against the enemy. At this time, Glutton possessed the immense strength of the Top Second Stage, unstoppable!
"Glutton, Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Gear child, rest for a while," Fang Yuan said.
To fight against Super Ghost, naturally, it was the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster in full power state after a comprehensive armament upgrade.
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster was now an electric, steel, and superpower Nearly-Top Level Overlord in its own right, while the two Gears, after enhancement with the Evolution Miracle Stone and the Special trait enhancement capsule, gained a higher endurance charging ability.
Thus, the Armed Magnetic Monster, too, became a Top Second Stage combat force.
Maybe now Monferno and Ditto, opening three gates forcefully, could achieve the strength of a Top Second Stage, but they were nowhere near as stable as the current Armed Magnetic Monster.
The Armed Magnetic Monster was in a state of near perfection.
"In a 1-on-1 fight, Super Ghost could be considered my absolute trump card for now, and in a 3-on-3 fight, the Armed Magnetic Monster, able to exhibit Top Second Stage strength, would have no problem taking on '1 vs 3', especially under the amplification of my Heart Power, which could make it even stronger."
For now, the strength of Super Ghost and Armed Magnetic Monster gave Fang Yuan great comfort.
Do the Four Heavenly Kings and Champions of a team have Top Second Stage combat power?
Jiang Li probably did, but even so, there surely wouldn't be many. Fang Yuan was becoming stronger and stronger, and the gap between him and the Four Heavenly Kings and Champion was closing.
"Cackle~~~" Hearing that there was time to rest, Glutton revealed a greedy smile. After the fight, he was hungry.
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster and Klink fell silent. After the fight, they still had to cook for the opponent. What kind of world was this?
Not caring about them anymore, Fang Yuan dragged his weak body towards another area. Super Ghost and Armed Magnetic Monster would definitely be his two trump cards at the World Championship, but the other Pokemon were also not weak.
Thud, thud!
From this area, the sound of strikes kept emanating. It was Monferno and Ditto in special training. Seeing Fang Yuan coming over, Monferno, who was training, made an invitation, asking if Fang Yuan wanted to join the workout.
"Oof."
```
Monferno's gaze flickered. As a Fighting Type Pokemon, it naturally hoped to have a Trainer accompany it in physical training... to Fang Yuan's misfortune, his willpower was simply too weak.
"Didn't I just train this morning?" Fang Yuan unwrapped the bandages from his fists and said, "Let's call it a day, I used the Power of the Heart just now, I'm tired."
"Woo~" Seeing Fang Yuan so lacking in enthusiasm, Monferno pouted and turned its gaze to Ditto, which had turned into a sandbag... Indeed, Ditto was more capable of enduring hardship.
Sandbag Ditto: ...
Currently, Monferno was practicing its Coordination Ability and could control its strength, so it wouldn't cause too much damage to Ditto, even in its sandbag form.
But there was still some fundamental damage, especially since Ditto had just used a Special trait enhancement capsule and needed some time to digest it...
This training method was also to improve Ditto's durability and its transformation skills.
At the same time, Ditto could personally judge the progress of Monferno's training... It was practically a win-win training method.
If Monferno's Thunder Flame Mode were to advance further, allowing its strength to break into the Domain's Second Stage, mastering its Coordination Control Ability was indispensable.
"The time is set. The day after tomorrow, we'll pay a visit to King Xu Haoran," Fang Yuan said to Monferno and Ditto.
These days, under the forced training by the exerciser and the substantial resources Fang Yuan had applied for, Monferno could achieve Nearly top-level power just with its Explosive Rage or Lightning Armor.
And the first gate, Thunder Flame Mode, although for some reason it couldn't induce a metamorphosis in Monferno's Lightning Flame attribute or physical strength, its combat power at that time should barely allow it to grapple with the weakest of the top-level power.
Currently, another set of Inferno Shock Turbo Guards had been ruined by Fang Yuan's training, but the sacrifice was worthwhile; all of this was to enable Monferno to carry the guard and open the second gate with minor injuries.
These injuries referred to both itself and the Turbo Protector. Now, the new protector was almost complete and was being crafted by Rotom and the Attribute Wheel.
"Woo ah." Monferno nodded, indicating that it understood.
What Fang Yuan meant was... if you don't want to get beaten up by the Four Heavenly Kings' Pokemon, you better practice hard. A tough battle is coming.
Fang Yuan had high expectations for Monferno. During the World Championship, Monferno should be able to reach a stable top-level performance with the Inferno Shock Turbo Guards. With Ditto's support, it might even reach the same level as Super Gengar and Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, a no-injury top Second Stage.
And if it could master the fourth door...
Fang Yuan didn't entertain high hopes, after all, even if Monferno could enter the fourth door, it probably wouldn't be able to continue competing in the World Championship.
With Fang Yuan, Monferno also possessed great potential to become the team's trump card.
Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Gengar, Monferno... These three Pokemon were Fang Yuan's great hopes. As for Milotic and Dragonite, Fang Yuan judged that unless they encountered a special miracle, it would be difficult for them to attain top-level power before the World Championship.
However, if they could at least hold their own against top-level power by pushing their limits using Machamp's overwhelming strength or Nightmare Mode, that would naturally be the best outcome.
Besides them, what concerned Fang Yuan the most was Eevee.
In the past two days, Eevee had devoted most of its time to researching Z power according to Fang Yuan's training methods.
Fang Yuan had told Eevee everything he knew about the principles of Z-Moves. Now the most crucial point was whether Eevee could better harness the Solar Energy from natural energy, as light energy was the core of Z-Moves.
These days, Fang Yuan and Eevee had already attempted to use Z-Moves, but it had ended in complete failure.
Eevee indeed could harness Solar Energy through the Destruction Gene, and Fang Yuan could indeed induce the power of the Brilliant Stone to coordinate with Eevee.
But just when the three forces were about to merge into Z power, there was an issue on Eevee's side. It couldn't control the Z power at all.
Fang Yuan concluded that, as expected, the formed Z Pure Crystal was more stable...
However, Fang Yuan wasn't in a hurry. In fact, this already proved the possibility of "Autonomous Z Move" from Gratitude 5.0. Next, it was up to Eevee to practice controlling the Solar Energy. If it could initially master Z power before the World Championship, then among the four Pokemon, it remained to be seen who would ultimately become Fang Yuan's trump card.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan also started to arrange another important matter.
The evolution of Bulbasaur!
