Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Appearing not far behind Fang Yuan and the others was a woman wearing a purple short dress, her legs wrapped in black silk stockings, and a large black bow at the back of her purple mushroom haircut.

She was a few hundred meters away from Fang Yuan and the others when she shouted loudly, seeming to lock onto their location from afar through her black-framed glasses in this dim environment.

"Are they really humans?"

Fang Yuan muttered to the Eevee on his shoulder, despite the considerable distance between them.

How did the other party discover them?

On his end, he had only just noticed her approach.

"Bwoo!"

Definitely not an ordinary human!

Maybe she's a cheater like us!

Eevee analyzed thoughtfully.

"Do you mean, a Psychic?"

"Otherwise, she's a powerful Trainer."

Fang Yuan stood still, watching as the woman rapidly approached.

Upon reaching Fang Yuan, the woman holding a red notebook glanced at Fang Yuan, then at Eevee, and said:

"Hello, are you Trainers?"

"Hasn't the Spirit Center already issued a warning to gather everyone in town?"

"It's very dangerous near God Sending Mountain right now. Okay, I'll take you down the mountain."

As a novelist, Wan Long had wanted to go up the mountain for inspiration, only to encounter a solitary Trainer.

Seeing how unreliable Fang Yuan and Eevee seemed, Wan Long sighed internally, deciding to bring them back to the Spirit Center and leave them with Miss Later.

"Very dangerous? Don't worry, this Eevee has undergone professional training; we are strong and not afraid."

Fang Yuan smiled at the woman, realizing it was her.

Wan Long: ...

Wan Long: (ー`´ー)

Alright, got some inspiration. Time to write this fearless guy to death in a novel.

"No, you must come down with me!"

Wan Long took a deep breath and issued one last warning.

Although she didn't yet understand what had caused the changes at God Sending Mountain, she knew the current environment was undoubtedly dangerous for Ordinary Trainers.

As one of the Four Heavenly Kings of United, she had to bring this death-seeking Trainer back to town.

"Never mind me for now. Miss Wan Long, as one of Unova's Four Heavenly Kings, why are you here?"

Fang Yuan looked at the woman, remembering her immediately upon seeing her.

This person, isn't she the Ghost Type Elite Four from Unova?

While being an Elite Four Trainer, she was also a novelist and knew Caitlin and Hirona. The three of them often discussed novel details together.

However, it seemed she did not recognize him.

"I..."

Caught off guard by being recognized, Wan Long was momentarily startled, but quickly composed herself, understanding it wasn't strange to be recognized as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of United.

"Since you know who I am, just be good and listen, it's really dangerous here..."

"Could you tell me about it? I'm also very curious about this area."

"Right, with this, you should be convinced I won't encounter any danger."

Fang Yuan took out his phone and opened the Pokémon World Championship APP's personal information page, showing his profile picture and his latest ranking of 531 after defeating Tower Lord Lila in battle.

Generally speaking, Trainers in the top 1,000 of the championship, although not at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings, were entirely capable of having one or two King Level Pokémon in their team.

This ranking was enough to prove Fang Yuan's strength.

Even Wan Long was slightly surprised when she saw Fang Yuan's credentials.

"You're a Championship Trainer?"

After seeing the data Fang Yuan presented, Wan Long paused and looked at him.

Ranking 531 in the championship was enough to overpower most Dojo Trainers.

It seemed he wasn't just a reckless intruder at God Sending Mountain, but someone very confident in his own abilities.

"Yep," Fang Yuan nodded.

"Okay then..."

Considering she had also sneaked up to gather material, Wan Long nodded, realizing it wouldn't be easy to convince Fang Yuan to leave.

If that was the case, she decided to try a different approach.

Taking Fang Yuan as a source of inspiration for her novel, she would follow him. As an accomplished novelist, Wan Long believed that having enough experience was essential to writing a good story.

For this reason, the Trainers in her novels were often based on real-world Trainers, like N, Telegram, Handsome Guy, Adick, Ohba, Kiku, and Juyeh...

With the sudden event and a bold Trainer in front of her, Wan Long gripped her notebook, sensing another good story in the making.

...

"So, are we traveling together now?"

Fang Yuan asked, looking at Wan Long who was following beside him.

"You wanted to investigate the strange phenomena happening around here, right? It just so happens I'm very interested in that too," Wan Long said with a smile.

"I can tell you everything I know now."

Walking beside Fang Yuan, Wan Long explained, "Normally, when Pokémon or humans die, all consciousness, including the soul, gradually dissipates."

"However, if the obsession before death is too strong, some lives with special talents can temporarily remain in this world in a Soul Form."

"Additionally, Elite Four Kikuko from Kanto's mother, Spirit World research expert Doctor Juyeh, had an important research finding before she passed: the Spirit World's unique magnetic field can interfere with the Soul Form of Pokémon and humans after death, allowing the soul to be preserved within the magnetic field."

"And now, the phenomena occurring at God Sending Mountain involve a large number of 'Ghosts' in Soul Form making a mass appearance here."
