"He Xiaomai."
"Gender, female."
"Age: 15 years old."
"Born into a wealthy family, her father is a business owner. After the birth of He Xiaomai, due to her congenital defects, her parents began to pay attention to the blind community."
"They have donated a large sum of money through the Blind Association, helping the poor blind, and from the information on hand..."
Three days later.
Fang Yuan had already obtained most of He Xiaomai's family information. Her family background was not beyond Fang Yuan's expectations and could be considered well-off.
After all, Golduck is quite rare among Guide Pokemon, and a Golduck with superpowers can help the blind do many things.
And a regular blind family, even if they could afford to buy Guide Pokemon, would mostly have Meowths, Pikachus, and the like.
"From the information on hand, He Xiaomai's parents are very loving social elites, having even been interviewed by CCTV. As for He Xiaomai herself, she is an excellent student in the school for the blind, with a kind, open, and strong personality. She also serves as the psychological committee member of her class, providing considerable mental health support to her classmates and other blind friends around her."
"Bwoo."
On Fang Yuan's shoulder, Eevee looked at the information reported by Rotom and patted Fang Yuan, quite surprised.
This girl, like Fang Yuan, had also served as a psychological committee member.
"Indeed, it's a connection of fate, but what's most commendable is that she can maintain such a good character under these circumstances. Having such responsible parents is a stroke of luck for this He Xiaomai," Fang Yuan said reflectively, not regretting asking Rotom to take the time to investigate He Xiaomai's information. Now he was becoming more and more optimistic about her.
If no one were to unearth her potential, He Xiaomai might end up working in a profession related to the blind in ten years, living an ordinary life. She comes from an affluent family, which is not a bad thing, but that presupposes she is just an ordinary person.
With a superpower talent or Wave-guiding Power Talent, combined with the dream of becoming a Trainer, these factors have already ensured that she won't be ordinary.
This He Xiaomai currently just lacks someone to guide her talent.
"Before we leave Xi'an, let's go see her once more."
"Have you already decided, Rotom?" Rotom asked.
This He Xiaomai, by all the conditions, aligned very well with the standard of the Heart Source Style, the Trainer culture Fang Yuan created. Perhaps they are about to welcome a second Trainer?
"Decided what?"
"Bwoo!" Eevee spoke up, meaning to take her as a disciple.
"Not taking. Teaching a disciple is too troublesome. Even if I were to consider it, it would be in the future when I have nothing else to do. It's just not possible now," Fang Yuan shook his head.
After Fang Yuan spoke, Rotom and Eevee looked bewildered for a moment.
Really not taking?
This was, after all, a girl who potentially possessed the Wave-guiding Power Talent. Although she might not be the only one in the world with such talent, it would certainly be very hard to find another.
Eevee, Rotom: stare...
"Don't tempt me."
Fang Yuan coughed dryly, feeling uneasy, and said:
"I could... consider it. But with my level, I could at best help guide her into the beginner stage..."
"There's no future following me," Fang Yuan said. "If she's willing to pursue the path of a Trainer, I could indeed send her to the Prince of the Sea."
"Whether it's superpowers, Power of the Heart, or Wave-guiding Power, Manafei can help her develop better, and most importantly, her eyes."
"If Manafei takes a liking to her, she might even regain her sight."
Fang Yuan continued to organize his thoughts and said,
"The Binhai City Association and Su Shu haven't contacted me, which means they haven't found a suitable candidate yet. Since they haven't made a choice, I will decide on the candidate myself."
When Fang Yuan spoke, Rotom was slightly startled, and Eevee suddenly remembered the promise between Manafei and Fang Yuan.
A Psychic who specializes in Water Series Pokemon, a kind-hearted girl.
Although He Xiaomai hasn't become a Trainer yet, her first Pokemon partner, Golduck, is a Water attribute, and moreover, possesses a Superpower Talent!
He Xiaomai perfectly fits Manafei's requirements!
At the same time, her suspected Waveguide Talent also perfectly meets the standards of the Heart Source Style!
Heart Source Style is about recruiting, with the Prince of the Sea in charge of teaching, this...
It's no wonder Fang Yuan had plans all along, thought Eevee and Rotom upon their realization.
Eevee, Rotom: Stare...
Fang Yuan: What's with those looks?? I didn't think that much.
A moment later.
"It's just that I don't know if Manafei wants to find a Legacy Trainer, is looking for a saintess for the Temple, or has some other idea... Forget it, we'll talk about it when the time comes," Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
...
During three days in the deep mountain, Xu Haoran passed on the secrets of Extreme Martial Arts to Fang Yuan, and within those three days, Fang Yuan felt like his bones were about to fall apart, suffering unbearable pain.
Monferno also became more proficient in using Enhanced Fist under the guidance of Xu Haoran's inscrutable and top-level Abilang.
However, the same could be said for Monferno, who also took quite a beating. Only able to enter the first gate of Thunder Flame Mode·Eight Gates, it was no match for a true top-level combatant.
Since Fang Yuan also needed to train, naturally he couldn't use the Power of the Heart to amplify it.
Nevertheless, the two battles brought significant growth to Monferno.
This time, Fang Yuan and Monferno both grew through the beatings they endured.
"From now on, as long as you maintain this level of training for three years, you can certainly become an outstanding Fighter,"
"Even without the identity of a Trainer, you could become a champion boxer just by participating in fighting competitions," Xu Haoran said as he wrapped a bandage around his wrist, giving Fang Yuan his final admonishment.
"I'll try...?" Fang Yuan thought silently. He could forget about that level of intensity. To train like this every day just to use the Power of the Heart more easily was simply not worth it.
Not to mention the huge waste of time, the most important thing was that after the training was done, being exhausted would make it inconvenient for Fang Yuan to do other things, such as researching, cultivating, or training.
So Fang Yuan planned to take it slow... take it slow. He believed Su Shu probably thought the same. Fang Yuan was beginning to understand Su Shu; after all, not everyone could train in the deep mountains with Pokemon every day like Xu Haoran, who has that much time!
Xu Haoran looked at Fang Yuan and Monferno beside him. Even though they were still immature, they already had the makings of strong fighters. He began to look forward to other countries' second-string Trainers encountering Fang Yuan.
"If you want better training results, you can go to those harsh environments, where you'll get more gains,"
"Like Ice Plain City in Ice Tundra Mountain?"
"Right, the cold environment of Ice Plain Mountain in Fighting City is very suitable for Fighters and Pokemon to train their physique. Besides that, beside molten lava and under waterfalls are also good choices," Xu Haoran smiled, "Of course, this kind of secluded mountain environment without outside disturbance is also a good place for deep training. The most important thing, as I said, training for fighting is all about becoming one with nature."
"Battle God Fu Hei, known to be the top Trainer closest in strength to the chairman, trains all year round at the summit of Mount Everest. That is why he and his Pokemon possess such formidable strength and inner peace. How about it, are you tempted now?"
Battle God Fu Hei? That former former... former Four Heavenly Kings Champion? Fang Yuan forgot which competition specifically, but it seemed like such a formidable person existed.
That being said...
But.
"Nope, not tempted at all," thought Fang Yuan.
