Greatest Pokémon Trainer

At the present time, there were no Poké Balls, so even after seeing the combination of Fang Yuan and Eevee, and deducing that Fang Yuan was a Monster Messenger, she still did not believe they possessed the skills to travel through the wilderness.

The forest's Beedrill, Decayed Wood Demon, and Spearow are not vegetarians, after all.

"So that's how it is..."

Fang Yuan, too, looked at Eevee, realizing that the disdain chain among Pokémon existed even back then. It seemed Eevee had been looked down upon for being weak since ancient times...

Indeed, being cute is an original sin.

"Bwoo..."

Eevee also had a face full of exclamation marks!

"These are not important... the important thing is, you just mentioned Hoopa, right? What is that, can you tell me about it?" Fang Yuan said to Zi Wan.

The purpose of his trip was to solve the Hoopa issue and retrieve the Tablet. The Celebi had even transported him close to Hoopa. It seemed that Hoopa and this city had some kind of connection?

"Hoopa..."

Zi Wan's expression turned grave as she said, "No matter how you got here, if you have the ability to leave, then leave as soon as possible."

"The Desert City is very dangerous right now, Hoopa will come to destroy it in just one day."

"Destroy??"

Fang Yuan frowned.

"Yes." The young girl Zi Wan's expression was complex.

The story of Desert City and Hoopa began several months ago.

Previously, there were many towns around here, but due to the arrival of a Large Secret Realm, people were forced to leave their homes.

However, in an era without transportation networks or a Trainer Association, it was too hard for ordinary people to leave their homes to avoid disasters.

In the wilderness areas teeming with Pokémon, even Monster Messengers who had earned the friendship of Pokémon found it difficult to pass through.

Thus, people could only struggle to survive in this vicinity.

Whether they were ordinary people or Monster Messengers, everyone was trapped in this region, confined within a Large Secret Realm, unable to reach the outside world.

This Desert City was the only town nearby with a human settlement.

Many Monster Messengers and ordinary people lived here. Originally, this place was not safe, resources were scarce, and order could collapse at any moment.

However, with the arrival of a Giant Spirit "Hoopa" from a circle ring one day, everything changed.

This Pokémon "Hoopa" was different from those aggressive ones emerging from the Secret Realm. Not only did it possess reason, but it also communicated through Mind Induction, allowing it to interact normally with humans.

In an era where Monster Messengers were considered superior beings and creatures that were close to humans were regarded as "Protector Deities," the people of Desert City naturally did not dare to offend Hoopa. They started worshipping it like a God because, from Hoopa's appearance and size, it looked very powerful.

After that, all sorts of fresh fruits and vegetables newly gathered from the wild were first offered to Hoopa.

This approach had a certain effect; ever since Hoopa arrived in the town, no Wild elf approached the place any longer.

However, the good times did not last long. Due to the scarcity of resources and Hoopa's great appetite, the town soon ran short on food supply.

The people of Desert City could only explain their difficulties to Hoopa. Just when they thought Hoopa would become angry, an unexpected event took place.

In an act that astonished everyone and seemed unbelievable, Hoopa summoned an endless supply of fruits, vegetables, and water from its circle ring.

"Hoopa is strong! Hoopa can do anything!!!"

Only then did people realize, they had underestimated Hoopa; it was truly a divine being!

After Hoopa demonstrated its abilities, the people were overjoyed and worshipped Hoopa even more devoutly.

With Hoopa's Helping Hand, Desert City slowly prospered, and food was no longer scarce.

Water, shelter, food, clothing—all sorts of wishes were made by the humans here.

The originally barren town became a large prosperous city in a short period, with Hoopa's assistance.

Humans made various wishes, and Hoopa fulfilled them, everything was developing in a positive direction.

Yet, with the good came the bad; as time passed, the people became increasingly accustomed to Hoopa's presence. They stopped working, stopped exploring the outdoors, and whenever they had a demand, they simply made wishes to their deity Hoopa, initiating unbridled requests.

The people began to see Hoopa merely as a tool for fulfilling wishes and gradually demanded more outrageous ones. It was around this time that Hoopa started to get bored.

Zi Wan shook her head and said, "It seems that one day Hoopa's personality underwent a tremendous change and began to exude a malevolence unlike before. The demonic beasts in the city felt it and became incredibly fearful..."

"I think it might have been the people's limitless desire for more that angered Hoopa."

"As a result, Hoopa wanted to destroy this city that had been built up by its abilities. However, perhaps out of a playful attitude, instead of causing destruction directly, Hoopa summoned Wild magical beasts through the circle ring to attack the city."

"Since then, Hoopa treated this as a game, summoning a horde of demonic beasts every other day to wreak havoc. At first, we could barely hold them off, thinking Hoopa was just joking, but Hoopa seemed to become happier and the summoned demonic beasts grew increasingly strong... There have been several injuries, and the city has sustained substantial damage."
