Greatest Pokémon Trainer

When the Dragonite woke up, the Milotic had already used Life Droplets to finish its treatment, and it was called back into its Pokeball by Fang Yuan.

The top-level battle had produced injuries on the Dragonite that were nothing short of severe.

The Black Dragonite itself was in a half-resting state, with extremely strong recovery abilities, yet even in such a state, it had lost consciousness due to serious injuries, which indicated just how severe its injuries were.

But with injuries as grave as those sustained by Dragonite, a single Life Droplet from Milotic had almost completely healed it.

Even the toxins clinging to Dragonite's body were mostly purified.

Of course, Milotic also had the ability to help Dragonite recover more perfectly, but there was no need for that, because the chances of it having to battle again consecutively were slim...

So, as long as it was conscious and had the physical strength to fly, that would suffice. The remaining injuries and the replenishing of its physical strength... could be comfortably recovered by Dragonite itself using "Feather Nest", so as not to waste Milotic's energy.

"Bwoo!!!!"

After coming to, Dragonite, like a bolt from the blue, touched its scales with its little short arms, astonished. Was the treatment already done??

Where were Milotic's Life Droplets... It hadn't even felt the comfortable sensation of being treated with the Life Droplets yet!!

Not a single droplet remained on its body...?

Dragonite's expression froze.

"Don't space out, we're heading to the next area to check in," Fang Yuan said upon seeing that Dragonite had recovered.

He knew exactly what Dragonite was thinking...

Elsewhere.

King Ye Hui was also treating Alidos.

His Pokemon, which resembled a firefly, "Volbeat", was using the Healing Wish move to heal Alidos, like casting a spell.

There was also a Pokemon that looked like a small turtle, "Pot-Pot", hugging Alidos's mouth, feeding it fermented healing juice.

However, both these Elves were only at Master Level, so the healing process was slow. By the time Dragonite was lively again, those two were still exerting themselves to heal Alidos. Ye Hui was also rummaging through his bag, looking for other healing potions...

Looks like I really need to get to a Spirit Center... Ye Hui lamented inwardly.

No sooner had this thought crossed his mind than Fang Yuan's group had already finished resting. When Ye Hui looked up, he saw Fang Yuan climb onto Dragonite's back, preparing to take off.

"Master Ye Hui, goodbye." Fang Yuan waved at him, then disappeared in a flash...

Ye Hui: "..."

What? Dragonite recovered that quickly???

After Fang Yuan flew away, only Ye Hui was left in disarray.

The onlookers from the Twelve Branches were also speechless; had the healing taken more than 1 minute??? Clearly, Fang Yuan had found a way to deal with consecutive challenges. That Milotic's healing ability... indeed was just as strong as Master Qiao Jing had guessed.

........

"The third challenge is up next."

The time was 7:17 am.

It had been 77 minutes since Fang Yuan started the challenge on the Road of Champions.

During this time, he had successfully passed two challenges and had arrived in front of the third.

Dragonite slowly landed, and Eevee also hopped off Fang Yuan's shoulder.

Next to them, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster and others had also stopped flying, while the Monferno had ended its jog...

"You're joking, right???"

According to Rotom's introduction, the third challenge area was a wasteland, a very open and barren place. Fang Yuan was originally curious about who the next Gatekeeper would be, and had a few guesses in mind...

However, when he actually saw the figure standing in the wilderness, he suddenly felt a sense of physical discomfort.

This person in front of him... can he even be called a human?

The other party was over two meters tall, clad in red and yellow armor, with an energy core on the chest. No matter how you looked at it, he resembled a robot.

Fang Yuan almost thought Iron Man had run over from the next film set.

"Nice to meet you, Doctor Fang Yuan," said the armored man as he saw Fang Yuan. At the same time, a part of his facial armor suddenly slid away, revealing the weathered face of a middle-aged man.

"I am the third gatekeeper, a Two-Star Professional Trainer named Tang Tianrong."

Tang Tianrong...

Fang Yuan only pondered for a moment before he knew who the middle-aged man was.

"Mr. Tang, hello," said Fang Yuan slowly.

Tang Tianrong was a scientist, a researcher, one of the high-ranking members of the Dawn Group, and likely a relative of Tang Xinlan, Fang Yuan's teammate from the world championship. The man was also a well-known maker of Elf Tools and a classmate and partner of Sìshé, currently one of the Twelve Branches...

All in all, Tang Tianrong was not a pure Trainer, but it was precisely such Trainers that Fang Yuan found even more difficult to deal with.

"Bwoo!" "Waaah!" "Bwoo!" "Blublublublu!" Fang Yuan was guessing the purpose of the other party wearing this armor when his Pokémon, including Dragonite, suddenly became excited.

This set of armor looked pretty cool.

Especially Dragonite, who even made some gestures, wondering if it could fit in it.

Milotic would definitely like it...

"Cough," Fang Yuan coughed dryly. What are you getting excited about, eh? It's obviously not meant for you to wear.

"So, Mr. Tang, what are the rules for the third gate?" Fang Yuan asked.

"The third gate is a 3+1 team battle, which means Trainers can also partake in the combat themselves," explained Tang Tianrong. "In this challenge, the three Pokémon I use will not change. However, you can swap out your Pokémon an unlimited number of times within the time limit to take on the challenge."

Fang Yuan didn't pay much attention to the latter part, but his eyes lit up at the rule of "Trainers joining the battle"...

This rule was quite interesting.

For instance, Psychics, during official Pokémon battles, could use Superpower Amplification on their Pokémon but were not allowed to use Confusion to directly attack the opponent's Pokémon.

With this rule, however, Trainers could also use offensive tactics during battles.

Monster-class Psychics like Nastina and Caitlin, under this rule, could enter the arena themselves and defeat the opponent's King-level Elves for victory.

Not just Superpower, but with the current rules, Trainers could also use firearms and tech weapons, kinds of non-Elf Tools, to assist their Pokémon in combat.

In the series, the villainous Rocket Team had used tech weapons several times to easily control powerful Pokémon, and now, all of that was allowed.

This was also part of the Road of Champions challenge rules.

Among the 10 gates, some had this kind of rule. Fang Yuan had not encountered it in the previous two gates, but now he finally had. This was also the reason Fang Yuan had prepared Sealing Objects. If it was this rule, he could also pick up a Sealing Object and use it to seal the opponent's Pokémon.

A Waveguide User joining the battle would be absolutely broken!

Of course, Pokémon directly attacking Trainers was still not permitted.

Although in real combat, enemies wouldn't care about the wellbeing of Trainers, this was still a challenge exam after all.

Both gatekeepers and challengers were national talents. If an accident resulting in injury or death occurred because of the exam, that would be a huge loss.

"To let a Waveguide User join the battle is the biggest mistake of the rules..." Fang Yuan thought to himself.

However, after Fang Yuan took a closer look at his opponent, he fell silent—damn it, Waveguide was overpowered, but the opponent cosplaying as Iron Man was cheating too!!

Although he didn't know the functions of the armor, given the opponent's identity, Fang Yuan had a bad feeling about it.

This armor...

It couldn't possibly shoot an Ultraman Beam, Kamehameha, or anything like that, right?
