Capítulo 718: Chapter 643: Four Months Later!_1
Fang Yuan and his team left Dragon Island just as the National Day holiday began.
This edition of the World Championship would start at the end of April 2020.
And now, it was October 2019.
There were six months left before the World Championship.
As time became increasingly urgent after the trip to Dragon Island, Fang Yuan decided not to wander around anymore. He resolved to stay put and train seriously, making a sprint for it.
During the National Day holiday, Fang Yuan went from Binhai to Magic City and then returned to Pingcheng to host the fourth Fang Yuan's Championship.
The rules of the fourth Fang Yuan's Championship had some changes compared to the third one.
That is, the battle rule was 1VS1!
This was also a new rule Fang Yuan set for this championship in preparation for the World Championship.
This meant that on the battlefield, only one Pokemon could appear at a time. Of course, Eevee's Shadow Clone and Substitute were considered moves and did not violate the rules.
The Partner System was severely restricted by the rules, so Klink and Ditto could no longer fight alongside the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster and Monferno.
So, there were significant changes in the rankings of this Fang Yuan's Championship.
First place was Glutton, the 1VS1 battle rule didn't affect it at all because Mega Evolution was still permissible. Although other Pokemon's Partner Systems were limited, it wasn't an issue here, as Fang Yuan being a human, could still participate simultaneously even in official matches.
Of course, for relative fairness, in this Fang Yuan's Championship, Fang Yuan only used Mega Evolution and did not use the Power of the Heart.
Even without using the Power of the Heart, the Mega Glutton was still a top Second Stage force, overwhelmingly overpowering other Pokemon.
Second place went to Eevee, whose Substitute Joint Fighting Technique in Partner and Sun Forms was like facing two top-level powers for the Glutton. This championship, Eevee posed the greatest threat to the Glutton, but ultimately lost to the more profound Super Evolution System.
Third place went to the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster. The advantage of being nearly top-level in three types made it almost unshakeable below the top. Even without Gear child, it still managed to exhibit blue lightning to perfection.
Fourth place, Milotic. As its strength improved, the number of coordinated Combination Skills, second only to Eevee's, together with Cleansing Water, fully demonstrated its strong practical value. If it weren't for the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster's element counteracting Milotic and its ability to float, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster might not even be able to win at the same level.
Fifth place, Monferno, no longer aided by Ditto and having just broken the latest Inferno Shock Turbo Guards before the match, could only start with one door. It dropped directly from the first place in the third edition to the fifth.
The battle with Dragonite was extremely tough for Monferno, as the Nightmare Dragonite's strength was far superior to a one-door Monferno.
However, fortunately, without the assistance of the Power of the Heart, Dragonite could only control Nightmare Mode for a limited time. By the rules, Dragonite would automatically lose if it went berserk in Nightmare State, so just before the limit, Dragonite would voluntarily awaken.
This rule greatly restricted Dragonite's Nightmare Mode. Additionally, it seems that Dragonite was an easy target, and to avoid finishing last and encountering the last battle, Monferno forcibly activated the second door against Dragonite. Although it collapsed again afterward, Monferno successfully held onto the fifth position.
Hence, because the Nightmare Mode was not mastered, Dragonite was once again at the bottom, making it want to cry yet again.
Previously, at least Milotic was fifth, and it was sixth, very close to Milotic. But this time, while Milotic had improved, it remained at the bottom, which seemed excessively cruel from the Monkey!
As the competition was based on a points system, each Pokemon had victories and defeats. Under the scrutiny of the mobile Rotom, the fourth Fang Yuan's Championship came to a complete end.
After the competition, taking advantage of the lingering excitement, Fang Yuan called over the two Gears, Ditto, and Bulbasaur for a juvenile Fang Yuan's Championship.
In the end, Ditto was first, Bulbasaur second, and the two Gears tied...
As the holiday came to an end, Fang Yuan finally returned to the research institute in Magic City and began his intensive training for the final push.
This special training lasted for four months.
Over a hundred days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Fang Yuan rarely left the research institute, dedicating all his energy to helping his six nearly top-level Pokémon break through to the top tier.
This was Fang Yuan's last struggle before the World Competition.
How far he could go in the World Competition depended on the strength of the top-level combat power, and in this regard, he was clearly lacking in comparison to the real powerhouses.
Unfortunately, over the four months, Fang Yuan didn't achieve much.
This once again made Fang Yuan realize how difficult it was to overcome the bottleneck of reaching the top level.
On Eevee's end, there was no overall change in strength. Although Gratitude 5.0 had matured further, the autonomous Z Move still couldn't be successfully executed, and its partner form hadn't reached the peak of all nine types, being stuck at a bottleneck.
For the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, there wasn't much change either in its normal state or its Electromagnetic Armed Form.
The same went for Glutton. However, thanks to the successful creation of the Attribute Wheel accessory, with the help of this training tool, its combat skills have seen a great improvement, being able to pre-store a dozen attribute marks in advance and switch freely between them in battle.
In addition, Glutton has also become more skilled in Mega Evolution.
As for Milotic, other than some development of Ice-based Spells, there weren't any significant changes.
And Dragonite, its Nightmare Mode has become more proficient, able to last even longer, yet still no qualitative changes.
Fang Yuan tried very hard over these four months, but now he understood Shang Ren's feelings—the top tier was truly not that easy to cross.
He had the status of a top researcher, the treatment of a King, access to legendary resources, an abundance of top-tier resources, and his Pokémon all possessed special powers. After spending four months striving, it was normal that his Pokémon had not achieved much improvement or that none could consistently break through to the top tier domain, just as Shang Ren had been stuck for two years.
However, Fang Yuan did have some gains. The Monferno, which ranked fifth in the fourth Fang Yuan Conference, gave Fang Yuan a big surprise, becoming the second Pokémon in Fang Yuan's Team to enter the top tier domain through its own power.
After destroying another set of Inferno Shock Turbo Guards and wrecking the Forced Exerciser ordered by Fang Yuan, Monferno can now almost initiate the second gate of Thunder Flame Mode autonomously without serious injuries.
Without relying on accessories, Ditto, or Power of the Heart, it could possess top-level power!
Due to the improvement in strength and the proficiency of its skills, the regular material of the Inferno Shock Turbo Guards proved completely useless to Monferno. Rotom no longer needed to keep making them, and Ditto still played a critical role. With its assistance, Monferno could now enter the third gate, and after an intense battle, it only needed to rest for a day or two to recover.
At this time, Monferno possessed the powerful strength of a Top Second Stage, emerging as another major group battle trump card for Fang Yuan, but it remained unclear what the scenario would be if it forcefully opened all four gates. However, with time pressing, there was no longer time for Fang Yuan and his team to try, as they couldn't afford the risk of potentially significant side effects...
"Top-level combat power, only Eevee, Glutton, and Monferno now, with just two months left. Judging by this pace, it will be difficult to see further improvements..."
"But over these four months of training, my Power of the Heart has become more stable. With Heart Power Amplification, the entire team is at top level! Going to compete in this state isn't too bad," Fang Yuan sighed. During these four months, he hadn't been idle, practicing the Meditation Method, martial arts, creating training plans, and requesting resources... He was extremely busy.
Additionally, he had begun preliminary research on the R Medicine, but neither he nor Rotom had made any significant discoveries yet.
During this period, they also tried to resurrect those four Fossils, but failed.
As for the Mysterious elf egg, it still showed no reaction.
Now, Fang Yuan was planning to end the special training.
One reason was that the efficiency was getting lower and lower, and the other was that with the World Competition approaching, all the backup candidates from the second team who had gone to train around the world had already returned. The association planned to conduct the final substitution selection to determine the final members for the second team, and soon after that, the World Competition would start.
Of course, this wasn't the main reason for Fang Yuan to end his intensive training. He was doing so because something significant had recently happened on Mount Everest... and it had shaken the Trainer Domain!
