Chapter 1504: Chapter 1123: Hoopa Unbound!_2
Xiao Mai wasn't surprised by Fang Yuan's strength, knowing full well his comprehensive abilities after training with him so long at the Temple of the Sea.
However, she was now curious about the whereabouts of his Nine Tails.
Once the battle ended, Nine Tails disappeared.
He Xiaomai thought for a moment that Nine Tails, so intelligent and with such enigmatic speech, might have its own capabilities.
Since Fang Yuan couldn't always be mentoring her, following Nine Tails and learning from it for a while was surely beneficial.
But the current problem was, Nine Tails had vanished.
As soon as Fang Yuan returned and went into his room, Xiao Mai followed right behind to inquire.
"You want to train with Locke?"
In the room, Fang Yuan looked at Xiao Mai oddly.
Damn! What had Locke told her? That despicable Locke, enticing Xiao Mai like this, no, what if she gets deluded into being some kind of sulk?
Currently, in the Heart Source Style, big disciple He Xiaomai, second disciple Nastina, and Xiaozhi who hasn't been initiated, Xiao Mai was the only normal one, she couldn't afford any mishaps—
"Remember, don't believe anything Locke says."
"Ah?" Xiao Mai was stunned.
Now Fang Yuan was relieved that Locke had a new disciple, Shaymin, otherwise, He Xiaomai might not escape Locke's clutches.
"Anyway, don't mind Locke, just focus on the missions I've assigned you."
"For the next few days, challenge all the slightly famous trainers from various countries on Alliance Island."
"Then go and win a championship at this World Tournament, along with Shang Ren and Xie Qingyi," Fang Yuan instructed earnestly.
"Right, I have a tougher task for you."
"I was planning to challenge the top Guardian Gods of Alliance Island, to test the new moves of Eevee and the others."
He Xiaomai: "Hmm..."
"But now that I think about it, it's not that interesting, just a matter of one-hit victories. You should try your hand at catching Legendary Pokémon when you're free."
He Xiaomai: ?
"The task of challenging the three top Guardian Gods on Alliance Island, I'll leave that to you."
He Xiaomai stood up: "Ah, but my Pokémon are only..."
Fang Yuan said, "What does it matter? I'm not asking you to defeat them anyway. Besides, I was planning for you to use the Rainy Day Group Tactics for the challenge, and while you're at it, bring Manafei along to support you."
"It has an ability that allows Water-type Pokémon to communicate their "soul" as a group. This, when aiding Water-type Pokémon using Rainy Day Tactics, is stronger than my group Power of the Heart. That's Manafei's strongest ability..."
Fang Yuan hadn't forgotten the memory fragment Manafei showed him; this fellow was a master of legion tactics.
A full deployment of the legion could match the power of legends, making it comparable to a mini Kyogre.
Fang Yuan trusted Xiao Mai's strength in one-on-one battles, but for group tactics, he couldn't teach much. In this regard, Manafei was the best teacher.
"Then, then I'll give it a try," she said.
He Xiaomai looked distressed. She didn't even possess Guardian God Level Combat Power yet, and Fang Yuan was asking her to challenge the Earth's top combat powers, the top Guardian Gods.
Was this how one trained disciples?
"Remember... to become stronger, one must take the unusual path. Manafei hasn't told you much about its abilities, has it?"
"Take this opportunity to really make it work for you!"
Fang Yuan managed to coax He Xiaomai away.
At the same time, he had also sold out the Prince of the Sea.
But Fang Yuan wasn't about to rest; a call from the China Association came through.
It was President Wen...
Fang Yuan fell silent for a moment, knowing what President Wen would want at this time without even having to think.
"President Wen, what's up?"
Upon answering the call, a complicated voice from President Wen came through.
"What's up? What's the deal with your Venusaur?"
"And I've heard from Kong Hai, your Monferno... a top Guardian God???"
"Such a huge improvement, why didn't you tell us about it!"
President Wen spoke frantically. This guy was too good at keeping secrets.
He was young, yet he didn't seem interested in showing off to others at all.
They had only just found out now.
Fang Yuan: "..."
Dammit, this is a tricky one to explain.
If I tell them everything truthfully, I can't exactly say that I've already captured three Legendary Pokémon, right?
That would scare someone to death.
And to report only partially is too troublesome since I'm getting stronger all the time.
So, I'll just go with the flow.
Fang Yuan also knew why President Wen was in such a hurry; it was to prepare for the battle of Guardian Gods. Currently, the latest intelligence on China's top combat power is being monitored in real-time by the Association.
Now, selecting the participants for the Guardian God battle is a top priority for each country's Association.
After all, it involves at least a dozen Legendary Resources, nearly a hundred top-tier resources, and a vast number of top-level resources.
"Actually, it's just a few Legendary Resources. There's no need for such tension and urgency," Fang Yuan said.
President Wen: ?
What kind of statement is that? President Wen wondered if he had dialed the wrong number. This didn't sound like Fang Yuan's style at all.
Isn't Fang Yuan the one who has always been clamoring for Legendary Resources?
Who is it that's always applying for Legendary Resources through the Association like crazy?
Fang Yuan was all serious; he used to be quite fond of Legendary Resources, but now, he has a bunch of them that he doesn't need a bit.
The battle of the Guardian Gods? It was just for training the second-string Pokémon. Maybe not even the Mane Rock Werewolf would bother to participate.
Compared to the Guardian God battle, aren't the Y God annihilation battle, the Rayquaza sniping battle, and the Thundurus subjugation battle more appealing?
...
While Fang Yuan and President Wen were shooting the breeze.
In one of Earth's parallel past dimensions where tablets were scattered.
The small Celebi from the Pokémon World had been sent here by World Tree Dreams to look for the tablets.
The past is no match for the future; in that time period, forget about the legendary Pokémon like Groudon, Kyogre, or Mewtwo, there were hardly any Guardian God Level Pokémon at all.
At that time.
Many secret locations had yet to merge with Earth.
Pokémon were still referred to as demonic beasts.
The first war between humans and Pokémon, the Monster War, was not yet over.
The Pokémon Alliance had not been established either.
The profession of Trainer was still called Monster Messenger.
It could be said that this was a time when the Earth Trainer Domain had not developed yet, even many years away from the first Trainer Tide.
For the small Celebi dispatched by Dreams to find tablets in such a time period, it was naturally a very easy task.
However.
Due to the influence of time travel, just as the history of the future and the present was altered, the history of the past dimension experienced some changes as well.
A secret location that should not have appeared in this past dimension unexpectedly merged into this space-time.
"Are you looking for this?"
"If you play with Hoopa, Hoopa will give this to you."
"Hoopa, fetch, fetch!!"
"Help (Save me~!!)———"
A huge ring appeared in front of it; feeling the terrifying Super Demon God aura of the other, the small Celebi who came to find the tablet was scared out of its wits and immediately jumped into the time-space passageway to escape.
However, even in the time-space passage, the small Celebi could still feel the other's strong presence, an aura more terrifying than World Tree Dreams.
Ah, it knew the task of finding tablets wasn't going to be easy.
Why, why is there a Hoopa Unbound in this space-time!!!
Though Hoopa Unbound's combat abilities aren't strong, its manipulation of space-time far surpasses the Temporal and Spatial dragons in some respects. Moreover, as a Ghost-type Pokémon, it also has the ability to control the consciousness of other Pokémon, even the will of Legendary Pokémon.
In a normal battle, it could control Legendary Pokémon, but it couldn't defeat them. Likewise, ordinary Legendary Pokémon couldn't defeat Hoopa, so, with its mischievous character, Hoopa is completely an uncontrollable troublemaker.
Apart from a few Pokémon like Arceus and the Brilliant God, there are probably no Pokémon that can perfectly suppress it.
The small Celebi nearly ran back crying for help from Dreams.
This is bad, this tablet is unattainable!
