The next day, Fang Yuan took He Xiaomai away.
He was surprised that Mr. He trusted him enough to hand over his daughter, as he had thought at least one parent would be concerned enough to come along.
Fang Yuan also explained to Mr. and Mrs. He the purpose of this trip to Binhai City, which was related to treating He Xiaomai's eyes.
In the best-case scenario, He Xiaomai's eyes might recover their sight.
If that couldn't be achieved, the Prince of the Sea could still help He Xiaomai develop superpowers, thus allowing her to better perceive the world around her.
With this, the impact of blindness on He Xiaomai would become smaller and smaller.
On the flight to Binhai City, He Xiaomai, who was sitting next to Fang Yuan, asked, "Teacher, what about that uncle from yesterday?"
"His name is Su Shu, not uncle."
"He's only 27, calling him uncle might be a bit early..."
He Xiaomai nodded solemnly, indicating she understood.
As for where Su Shu had gone, as expected, he ended up going to the deep mountains to PK with Xu Haoran.
............
So far, Fang Yuan was the only Trainer who knew how to find the Temple of the Sea and summon the Prince of the Sea.
Therefore, even though Fang Yuan had decided on the candidate himself, the Binhai City Association, as well as several other superpower inheritances, couldn't say much.
After all, it was an agreement between Fang Yuan and Manafei, and besides, Fang Yuan had given the Association a chance, but they failed to seize it.
Besides doing his own investigation on He Xiaomai, the Trainer Association Headquarters also had a department that investigated He Xiaomai's family.
Such matters involving Legendary Pokémon can't be taken lightly, but just like what Fang Yuan's investigation revealed, He Xiaomai truly was the most suitable candidate.
Upon reaching Binhai City, Fang Yuan and his team were received with great honor by the Binhai Association.
At the same time, Fang Yuan sent out Dragonite to search for the Temple of the Sea following the method told by Manafei, while he himself waited for news with He Xiaomai in Binhai City.
Also, Fang Yuan began to use his spare time to start the most basic instruction for He Xiaomai.
"Your superpower is called the Power of Aura, do you know what Aura is?"
He Xiaomai, sitting primly in her seat, shook her head.
"How about the move Aura Sphere?"
He Xiaomai's mouth opened slightly before she quickly nodded and said, "I know, there is a Rare Pokemon called Lucario that masters this move."
Fang Yuan nodded, "Correct, Lucario is a species naturally able to wield the Power of Aura; they are extremely rare and powerful, and obtaining their recognition is highly difficult for Trainers. Even a newly hatched Lucario won't recognize the first creature it sees, but will follow the Aura to find a suitable partner. Their habits are different from most Pokémon."
He Xiaomai listened intently, for the knowledge Fang Yuan was teaching was all new to her.
"Having the Power of Aura, you may have the chance to earn Lucario's recognition in the future."
"What about you, Teacher? You must have earned Lucario's recognition, right?" He Xiaomai asked.
"Me? If a Lucario came to me now, asking to be my Pokémon, it's not about whether it recognizes me anymore, but whether I would recognize it," Fang Yuan said with a slight smile. "Remember, when capturing Pokémon, their potential and talent aren't the only criteria to consider; it's whether they are suitable for you."
He Xiaomai paused for a moment, pondering the meaning behind Fang Yuan's words...
Meanwhile, Eevee, who was listening to Fang Yuan's boasting on the side, almost fell over. Fang Yuan was definitely becoming conceited.
Right now, Fang Yuan wasn't educating He Xiaomai about Aura; he was teaching her how to boast and talk big.
"The Power of Aura is a type of Mental Energy closely related to the spirit of every living being."
"Strength originates from the 'Soul', which is the reason behind the name Heart Source Style. To become a powerful Trainer, to become an excellent Wave-guide Messenger, you first have to treat your Pokémon as friends, as your closest partners, and never abandon or neglect them. Pokémon should not merely be tools for battle or for completing tasks. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"I... I wouldn't do that. I am very thankful to Golduck and the other Pokémon. Without them, I wouldn't be who I am today," He Xiaomai quickly denied, her eyes unable to see. Her time spent with her Guide Pokemon meant her bond with Pokémon was far more genuine than that of most Trainers.
"I know, but even in the future, don't forget your initial intentions," Fang Yuan responded with a nod.
In terms of bonds between Trainers and their Pokémon, Fang Yuan might not be the person with the deepest understanding on Earth, but he had his own unique insights.
Eevee, Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Monferno, Glutton, Milotic, Dragonite, Rotom... The bond between each of Fang Yuan's Pokémon and him was inseparable.
If he hoped for He Xiaomai to become a Psychic Trainer in the Heart Source Style, Fang Yuan naturally wished that she would cherish every Pokémon and not treat them merely as tools, like some Trainers do.
If she couldn't do that, then even if He Xiaomai had the Power of Aura, she would certainly not be able to unleash its full power.
"About the Power of Aura, I learned it by accident," Fang Yuan continued.
Next, Fang Yuan began to explain to He Xiaomai the history of the Power of Aura, where in history, some people could sense and control the Aura, who were known as Aura Users. They traveled around to do good deeds and passed on their skills to those who could use the Power of Aura...
