Chapter 774: Chapter 669: Alliance Island, The Third Trainer Tide_1
```
After a long conversation with Miss Liu Qin, Fang Yuan returned to his living quarters.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
2020, March 30.
With less than a month to go before the World Competition, Fang Yuan left Hua Nation and prepared to head to the Pokémon Alliance.
The award ceremony for the Ron Award is held on April 3 every year, because Dr. Ron of Jade Rainbow University passed away on April 3.
In memory of this Elves Researcher who made significant contributions to human progress and civilization, people chose to hold the Ron Award ceremony on the anniversary of Dr. Ron's death.
However, although the Ron Award banquet is held every year, no one has won the Ron Award for many years in a row.
This time, when rumors suddenly emerged that there would be a winner, the bigwigs in the academic community didn't need to think too hard to know who it was.
With so many candidates waiting for so many years without being selected, it was even less likely this year.
The only possibility was Fang Yuan, and apart from the significant impact of the Fossil Revival Techniques, this was also a result sought after by the research community of Hua Nation.
Although the final winner hadn't been announced, Fang Yuan was not very worried. Judging by Miss Liu Qin's behavior, he had an eight or nine out of ten chance of winning the Ron Award, otherwise, she wouldn't have asked him to think about applying for Legends Resources so early.
Given the current impact of the Fossil Revival Techniques, it would be unconscionable not to bestow the award on Fang Yuan.
After all, no other researcher's achievements in recent years have surpassed the impact of Fang Yuan's Fossil Resurgence Techniques.
As for the next few years...
In the field of research, Fang Yuan felt, unless someone developed the Elf Transmission System, no matter what research results emerged, they would be overshadowed by Energy Blocks and Mega Evolution.
The only one who might surpass him, might be himself.
............
March 31.
In the morning, Fang Yuan arrived at the area where the Alliance Research Institute was located.
Alliance Island was very large, and this area was known as the Holy Land of the academic world, with its Chinese name "Jade Rainbow City".
In this place, there was the largest international Elves research university in the world, Jade Rainbow University. The students of Jade Rainbow University were mostly Official Researchers from various countries. Jade Rainbow University had once invited Fang Yuan, who was studying at Magic City University at that time, to come here for further studies. However, Fang Yuan was busy training Pokémon and had no time for research, so he declined.
This time, as an important figure in the Ron Award banquet, Fang Yuan received a warm reception as soon as he arrived.
Eventually, Fang Yuan and others temporarily stayed at the Jade Rainbow Big Hotel.
"Why me again."
This time, accompanying Fang Yuan was not only a bunch of Pokémon but also a person, Old man Kong Hai, one of the Twelve Earthly Branches of Hua Country. Mr. Kong Hai felt helpless as being a bodyguard for Fang Yuan was something that could be done by Jiang Li, Su Shu, right?
Oh, they need to train, what about the other top Trainers then?
However, upon reflection, among the Twelve Earthly Branches, the Trainers with combat capabilities were idle just like him.
Mr. Kong Hai was responsible for the Psychics within Hua Nation, and since Psychics were a minority, the workload was very relaxed.
"Er," Fang Yuan and Eevee came out after taking a bath and were taken aback to find Mr. Kong Hai watching TV and sighing.
As for Jiang Li and Su Shu, having them as bodyguards was not very meaningful. They might not even be able to beat Fang Yuan.
It was extremely rare for someone from the Twelve Earthly Branches to serve as a bodyguard twice for Fang Yuan.
An Official Researcher's status was a step higher than that of the Four Heavenly Kings or the Champion, roughly equivalent to the presidents of Demon Capital University or Emperor Capital University, but a step lower than one of the Twelve Earthly Branches or a regional Trainer Association president.
So, Mr. Kong Hai's status within the Association was higher than Fang Yuan's. To have someone with a higher status than oneself serving as a bodyguard was something only a freak like Fang Yuan, who could receive the Ron Award at the age of 20, could manage.
"Senior, this is a rare chance to travel," Fang Yuan chased Eevee away and let it play games with Rotom, and then said,
"After all, the World Competition will start soon, and you'll be able to watch Su Shu's performance on-site."
Mr. Kong Hai muttered, "What's there to see at the World Competition? With Su Shu's ability, there are hardly any opponents for him."
"Uh," Fang Yuan heard Mr. Kong Hai say so and chuckled, asking, "Su Shu, the Heavenly King, must still have some trump cards, right?"
"I heard from Jiang Li before that the one he least wants to face among the Four Heavenly Kings is Su Shu. Doesn't the Tianxing Style have even more exaggerated Amplification Techniques?" Fang Yuan inquired curiously.
As the Heavenly King, Su Shu's strength was naturally beyond doubt, and although Fang Yuan had once defeated his Sun Eevee, he had never felt that Su Shu's strength was inferior.
Su Shu's Superpower Amplification Techniques were no less potent than Fang Yuan's Heart Power Amplification Techniques, and might even be stronger. Being boosted to full strength, it should be easy for one or two Pokémon to reach the top Second Stage combat power, right?
Aside from not being as durable as himself, the explosive power triggered without regard for consequences should not be much less than Jiang Li's, and that is the power of an external aid.
"Of course, not to boast to you, but even Jiang Li would struggle against the Fire Type Champion from America. The only hope for Hua Nation in the World Competition to defeat the Fire God Moth might just be Su Shu," Mr. Kong Hai confidently stated, clearly satisfied with the disciple he had trained.
Superpower augmentation techniques had many applications. They could evenly amplify several main forces or explosively strengthen a single Pokémon, with varying side effects. In critical moments, facing unbeatable adversaries, Jiang Li might not be as useful as Su Shu.
"Senior Kong, don't worry. It's just a World Competition, don't take it too seriously," Fang Yuan told the old gentleman not to get too worked up.

With him around, all those random American Fire Type Champions and Trainers are useless.
Even if that French little princess with Quasi-guardian god level combat power that Xie Qingyi mentioned comes, she'd be sent home by Eevee's Z-Move.
Armed with both Mega Evolution and Z-Moves, two cutting-edge systems, and working with Jiang Li and Su Shu among others, Fang Yuan would have to announce his resignation from the group if he fails to secure a world championship for Hua Nation again.
"Eh." Seeing Fang Yuan's confidence swell, Kong Hai was stunned. It was one thing to be confident in your research, but to be this confident about the world championships too?
Right, he had heard that Fang Yuan single-handedly challenged the Japanese Dragon King; he definitely had grounds for his confidence...
"Are you hiding something else?" Kong Hai asked.
"Hmm, I'm currently researching a new topic, on the impact of Life Power on Pokemon's strength," Fang Yuan replied with a smile.
He had long since passed on the research results from Mount Everest through Fu Hei, the second-ranked Trainer of Hua Nation, and applied for the leadership of a special intelligence group within the Association. Soon, a world-class storm named Mega Evolution was about to sweep across the land.
......
April 1st and 2nd.
Fang Yuan initially wanted to go sightseeing, but the endless stream of distinguished guests made it difficult for him to get away.
These guests were high-caliber researchers from various countries, and interacting with them was definitely more beneficial than harmful for Fang Yuan.
On the afternoon of April 2nd, Fang Yuan changed into formal attire, ready for an interview with The Pokémon Alliance.
This was a pre-reception interview, and Fang Yuan estimated there would be another one after the award ceremony. Since it was an official interview, Fang Yuan happily accepted it.
Right now, what he needed most was to boost his visibility, which would be convenient for advertising later on.
In the hotel room, the journalist Morleen and her interview team made ready. With a graceful posture, she smiled at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan smiled back. It's her again, he thought. He remembered that before the last Pokemon World Expo, she was the journalist who interviewed him.
To be honest, Fang Yuan had encountered many journalists throughout his growth, but the one who left the deepest impression was Xiao Shuang, Dawn Group's intern journalist during the Little Phoenix King Cup. So far, only she could keep up with his train of thought.
"I wonder if that journalist Xiao Shuang is still working at Dawn Group. Once the Glamour Contest Company gets on track, I could possibly poach her over. Little Tang probably wouldn't mind, right?"
As Fang Yuan's mind wandered, the blonde, blue-eyed journalist Morleen began the interview.
Fang Yuan's responses to questions related to the Dr. Ron Award were proper and to the point. However, one of his answers during the interview suddenly became a hotspot.
[If I said my initial research on Pokemon was out of curiosity, then my subsequent research has been about fulfilling a dream of mine.]
[During the Beast War era, to resist disasters in secret locations, the first wave of Trainers came into being, and a great number of Trainers were born. After the foundation of The Pokémon Alliance, countries established the Trainer Association, and the profession of Trainers was institutionalized, leading to the second wave of Trainers. My dream is to drive the arrival of the third Trainer wave.]
As to how to promote it, Fang Yuan did not elaborate.
This speech by Fang Yuan no doubt attracted widespread attention.
A 20-year-old young man, hoping to lead the arrival of the third Trainer wave?
This undefined goal impressed both laymen and professionals alike, and they simply smiled and moved on.
The Chairman of The Elf Alliance also saw Fang Yuan's interview responses; the third Trainer wave? He, too, just smiled. For this goal, for resisting the upcoming disaster, the entire Pokémon Alliance was putting in effort, but even now, hope seemed distant.
To be successful, the third Trainer wave must satisfy two conditions, based on the foundation of the previous two Trainer waves.
The first is to lower the threshold for becoming a Trainer.
It is not too difficult to make knowledge more widespread, but Pokemon resources are limited. Ordinary food cannot satisfy a Pokemon's energy needs during its growth stages.
To this end, countless Breeders have been working hard, researching all kinds of new Pokemon food and nutritional supplements.
But merely lowering the entry barrier for Trainers is not enough.
The second is to raise the ceiling of a Trainer's strength.
So far, the limit of combat power that Earth's Trainers can reach is Guardian God Level, having a single Pokemon possessing Guardian God Level strength is seen as the pinnacle of a Trainer's career.
The Legendary Realm is even beyond reach, without even a chance to touch it.
After over a hundred years of development, the Trainer Domain has hit a bottleneck, with countless experts stuck at the Quasi-guardian god level threshold, finding the step beyond exceedingly difficult.
For Earth's top Trainers to master Guardian God Level combat power is also something that the third Trainer wave needs to accomplish.
Without considering other conditions, these two alone have stumped The Pokémon Alliance for countless years.
However, the emergence of ambitious young people like Fang Yuan is something that many behind-the-scenes powerhouses are happy to see. Only with such ambition can the field of Trainers continue to flourish.
Hua Nation.
At the headquarters of the Trainer Association, an elderly man with white hair also saw Fang Yuan's interview, and then he looked at an unpublished paper lying beside him on the desk.
The third Trainer wave, perfectly aligning with the strategic goals of the Alliance's various nations, but could it possibly be realized in a young man of just 20 years old?
