Shanming County, Jade Stone Village.
After the Quick Dragon Envoy returned to its old profession with the Rotom with the mobile hanging around its neck flying toward Magic City, Fang Yuan looked back at Jade Stone Village. Then, he directly left.
He walked towards Huanggang Village, stepping nearly a hundred meters at a time. Each time his foot landed, a shadow would form, flickering with ripples of space.
Fang Yuan's way of rushing on the journey was not out of laziness but to train Gengar's Spacial Moves…
Among Fang Yuan's Team, Gengar was not the first Pokémon to understand Space Class Moves, but it had the greatest potential in this area.
Gengars were like Different Spaces within their bodies, capable of holding a lot of things.
The stronger their power, the larger the space inside their bodies. After Mega Evolution, Gengar's ability in this regard had reached its pinnacle.
Even when not used for attack, purely for assistance, it was a very powerful skill.
In the words of the fantasy enthusiast Luo Kuo, "Space rules supreme, Time commands respect"; Gengar had the makings of a great emperor!
Before long, Fang Yuan arrived outside the blockade near Huanggang Village.
By this time, the Eevee on Fang Yuan's shoulder had already furrowed its brow.
"Bwoo!" Eevee alerted Fang Yuan that the sealed Flower Rock Monster might be very powerful; even from a great distance, it could feel a dangerous aura.
"Is that so?" Fang Yuan looked into the distance and asked, "Compared with Darkrai, which is stronger?"
"Bwoo!" Eevee was taken aback.
After careful analysis, it concluded that Darkrai, being a Phantom Elf wielding Nightmare Power, could easily beat the opponent.
Darkrai's talent was truly great, and aided by Fang Yuan's Wave-guide Breakthrough to Guardian God Level, Eevee could clearly feel the opponent's power increasing rapidly each day, to an extent that scared it.
"Then there's no problem," Fang Yuan said, unsurprised, with the potential and talent of Darkrai, similar to Di Anxi, growing to Semi-legendary Level should not be an issue.
After all, one was an existence that could arm wrestle with the Time-space Twin Gods, while the other was a spirit capable of blocking the God of Death's Ultimate Move.
Although most of Fang Yuan's Pokémon wielded powers that were not low in level, they were not innate to their species. When lined up against these Phantom Elves and Legendary Pokémon in terms of talent and potential, there was a difference.
"By the way, can you judge how long it will take for the opponent to break the seal?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Bwoo." Eevee hesitated and then nodded, indicating it could try.
...
Elsewhere.
Outside the Spirit World Channel that sealed the Guardian God Level Flower Rock Monster, the area was heavily blockaded, and a temporary battle center had been established.
King Ye Hui, a Two-Star Master, and Mrs. Jiang Liu were serving as the person in charge of the battle center.
Over the past two days, some other Master Level Trainers and Professional Trainers had also arrived at their respective stations, bracing themselves and ready to fight at all times.
Although they were aware that the Flower Rock Monster was constantly breaking through the seal, Masters Ye Hui and Jiang Liu had no solution and could only wait passively.
"It's no use! We've already tried using three types of talisman papers, but they still can't affect that Bizarre Tower. The sealing methods are completely incompatible," said Mrs. Jiang Liu, the Two-Star Master dressed in a white Taoist robe, regretfully in the main command room of the battle center.
Opposite her, a middle-aged man with withered yellow short hair, looking at the tower-shaped building in a wall photograph, expressed confusion, "Even for your Spirit World Lineage, there is no record of such a seal?"
"None."
"The Flower Rock Monster is said to be a ghost created from the gathering of 108 souls, sealed within a Wedge Stone by some mysterious spell, and to this day, we do not know the principles behind the spell that seals souls into the Wedge Stone, let alone the second layer of seals that contain it..." Master Jiang Liu said.
"It seems that strengthening the seal is no longer viable; we can only wait for the Flower Rock Monster to break free and defeat it then," Master Ye Hui said.
"That's the only way," sighed Master Jiang Liu.
However, the biggest problem now was that they did not know exactly when the Flower Rock Monster would fully emerge.
They could choose to actively destroy the seal, but that would not wear down the Flower Rock Monster.
In the process of breaking through the seal, the Flower Rock Monster was also expending its energy.
So, waiting for the Flower Rock Monster to come out on its own was the best option, as it would be at its weakest then.
Within the combat center, Ye Hui and Jiang Liu started discussing suppression tactics.
Although they were both ranked among the top Two-Star Masters in the country and possessed commendable strength, they were still extremely nervous facing what could be a Guardian Level Flower Rock Monster.
Decades ago, Guardian Level Spirits were considered the protective gods and totems of faith for a nation.
Even if this one might be in a weakened state... it was still highly formidable.
"Hold on, there's a call."
Just after Ye Hui and the other had settled on three sealing tactics, suddenly Master Jiang Liu's communicator rang.
After answering, Jiang Liu nodded and showed a serious expression, saying, "I understand."
About a minute after the conversation, she hung up the call.
"What happened?"
Seeing Jiang Liu's serious expression, Ye Hui thought that the other party had received new intelligence and quickly inquired.
"I just got word... Doctor Fang Yuan is around this area," Jiang Liu let out a breath.
"Doctor Fang Yuan? The Fang Yuan who defeated Di Anxi in the World Championship?"
Ye Hui, who had been following the World Championship, naturally knew of Fang Yuan and immediately said, "How could he be here?"
"How would I know? It was a junior of mine who called me; he asked me to keep an eye out and if I see a young man with an Eevee, to send him away quickly and prevent him from wandering around here..." Jiang Liu could sense the helplessness in the voice on the other end of the call.
On the other end of the phone was Jiang Li.
After hanging up with Fang Yuan, Jiang Li thought deeply and felt that Fang Yuan wouldn't leave so easily.
Concerned for Fang Yuan's safety, he finally decided to contact his younger aunt.
But right after ending the call, Jiang Li slapped himself, darn it, Fang Yuan was already stronger than him, why was he still worried about Fang Yuan's safety???
He only worked as Fang Yuan's bodyguard for a short time; he shouldn't have developed an occupational hazard!
"We should still try to find him first," said Mrs. Jiang Liu in the combat center.
"That young man, his strength might not be inferior to ours," Ye Hui said: "With his abilities, is there a need to worry?"
"That's true, but do you feel at ease letting him wander around here alone?" Jiang Liu said: "If something were to happen to him, it could be more serious than the Flower Rock Monster escaping."
Ye Hui and Jiang Liu exchanged glances and agreed; after all, there was a threat of a Guardian Level ghost nearby, and there seemed no other choice.
