Bab 698: Chapter 628: Superpower? Power of the Heart?_1
Eevee was the first to look over, and Fang Yuan followed Eevee's gaze to the girl walking on the sidewalk.
She seemed to be around high school age, dressed in sporty shorts and a T-shirt, with her hair tied back in a ponytail, radiating youth and vitality. Her demeanor reminded Fang Yuan of his high school classmate, Lin Jing—they both had such a lively spirit.
However, the reason Eevee and Fang Yuan were both paying attention wasn't due to this; it was because, among all the ordinary people they had encountered for so long, she was the only one with the potential for superpowers.
"Bwoo," Eevee said seriously. Using superpower to describe it seemed inappropriate; the faint wave motion emanating from the girl was similar instead to Fang Yuan's Power of the Heart, something Eevee had never felt from other psychics, not even from Su Shu or Kong Hai.
"So you mean to say, this girl's superpower is somewhat similar to the superpower bestowed upon me by Emuritto?"
"Bwoo~," Eevee nodded, but then shook its head. The wave motion was similar to the Power of the Heart, but in fact, the girl didn't possess superpowers—she simply had the potential to learn them. Likely, she wasn't even aware of her own potential for superpowers.
It was only after Eevee and Fang Yuan learned the Tianxing Style meditation method that they acquired the ability to observe whether others had the potential for superpowers.
"However..."
Fang Yuan looked at the girl who was laughing and talking with a Golduck beside her, and fell silent for a moment.
The girl was holding a cane, and her eyes were closed.
She was apparently a visually impaired blind girl, guided entirely by the Golduck's lead as she walked.
"A Guide Pokemon, huh…" Fang Yuan's expression subtly changed.
In the Earth of the past, Hua Nation had over 18 million blind individuals, but they were rarely seen in everyday life because various things that many people took for granted, like vehicles and greenery, could become serious obstacles for the blind, making them less visible despite being a large population.
Of these, only a very small number of blind individuals could receive the assistance of trained guide dogs, which could lead them to walk safely and guide their owners around danger. The small number of owners was due to the fact that breeding guide dogs was tough, time-consuming, and thus they were very limited in number.
On the present Earth, although the number of blind individuals had decreased, it was still a huge group. However, with the arrival of the Spirit Era, ordinary guide dogs had retired from history, replaced by trained Guide Pokemon, which enabled the blind to live more easily.
Even a Caterpie could possess the ability to aid the blind in living normally, something common animals couldn't match.
Furthermore, training Pokemon was much simpler than training ordinary animals.
The arrival of the Secret Location of Pokemon brought many disasters but also hope and changes to many aspects of life. In Hua Nation, it was not difficult for the blind to acquire a Guide Pokemon, and it was even simpler than a regular person registering to become a Trainer. It was these changes that made Fang Yuan wish to push for the arrival of the third Trainer wave, to integrate Pokemon into every household on Earth, just as in the Pokémon World.
"Let's follow her," Fang Yuan told Eevee.
Having finally encountered an ordinary person with the potential for superpowers, Fang Yuan's curiosity got the better of him, compelling him to make contact.
.........
Although it seemed harmless at first, after several minutes of following a girl, Eevee, perched on Fang Yuan's shoulder, began to feel odd.
Just following her like this gave it the impression that Fang Yuan didn't seem like a good person.
However, fortunately, the blind girl soon reached her destination—a public battling ground in Xi'an.
A battling ground?
She logically shouldn't be a Trainer, as it's very difficult to become one without passing a physical examination.
Following her, Fang Yuan arrived at the spectator seats near the battleground, leaned over the railing with interest, and watched the battle that the girl was observing.
How could she want to watch a battle when she couldn't see?
"Let's get closer," Fang Yuan observed the girl for a while, then suggested, moving to sit beside her.
By now, Golduck had noticed Fang Yuan and Eevee. It cast a wary glance at them but didn't pay them too much mind, since although Fang Yuan and Eevee behaved like they might be bad guys, they didn't look the part.
"Golduck, has the battle ended? It was… Pikachu won, right?"
As the battle below came to an outcome, He Xiaomai asked the Golduck sitting beside her.
Just as Golduck had arranged its thoughts and was about to speak, Fang Yuan on the side had already preempted with an answer, "Yeah, Pikachu won."
"Bwoo?" Golduck was utterly baffled. Who are you, and why are you also calling for Golduck?
And when she heard Fang Yuan's voice, the blind girl, He Xiaomai, wasn't surprised, for she knew there was someone sitting near her.
"Thank you." As the stranger voiced his thanks, Fang Yuan went on to ask, "Classmate, do you like Pokémon battles?"
He Xiaomai smiled faintly and said, "Although I can't see, I do like Pokémon battles… I don't know why, though."
Sometimes even He Xiaomai wondered about this, but while watching Pokémon battles, she always felt a comforting sense of peace, as if she could sense the fierce emotions emanating from the Trainers and Pokémon engaged in the battle.
"Oh…" Fang Yuan nodded, then looked at Eevee sitting next to him, What should I do now?
Eevee turned its head to look at Fang Yuan, It was you who wanted to come here, now you're asking me what to do?
"That classmate… Can I get to know you a bit?" Fang Yuan's repeated inquiries made Golduck next to He Xiaomai alert once again, probably not a good person, right.
"He Xiaomai, my name is He Xiaomai, and this is Golduck, my friend." He Xiaomai put her hand on Golduck, signaling it not to worry, she felt Fang Yuan was not a bad person, not just because his voice was gentle, but also because of a special intuition of hers.
Golduck obviously had a close bond with He Xiaomai and chose to heed her words.
"Hello, my name is Fang Yuan, and this is Eevee."
"Bwoo." Eevee also voiced a perfunctory cry as Fang Yuan introduced himself.
At this time, Fang Yuan was making an effort to communicate with Eevee telepathically. Psychics were few and far between in Hua Nation, pitifully few, to the point where numbering them in the hundreds would have to include Psychic Apprentices, the newbies. But every accomplished Psychic was a precious treasure, not just for the Trainer Domain but for societal development as well. Moreover, this Psychic's situation seemed somewhat similar to his own. Should he just walk away as if she were a stranger?
After discussing with Eevee for a while, Fang Yuan continued to ask, "You're not a Trainer, right?"
He Xiaomai shook her head, "I'm only 15… But even when I turn 16, I definitely won't get past the medical exam."
At this point, He Xiaomai's voice grew softer.
15 years old… that is to say, not yet a New Trainer without her own Pokemon.
Golduck didn't count; a guide Pokemon couldn't be considered one's personal Pokemon.
It was at this point that Fang Yuan suddenly had a bold idea, but for now, that was enough. He made small talk with her for a bit longer before saying his goodbyes and leaving the place.
"Eevee, you think, as the Sect Leader of the Heart Source Style, our Sect can't just have me alone, right? That girl has a special ability potential similar to mine. How about I coax her into joining us?"
Coax?
Eevee gave Fang Yuan a skeptical look.
"I misspoke, it's about fulfilling her Trainer dreams. Even as a Psychic who is blind, there should be a way for her to become a Trainer," said Fang Yuan, stroking his chin.
"Never mind, never mind. It was just a whim." But after some serious thought, Fang Yuan shook his head again. Teaching students was too tiring. He was, however, keeping an eye on He Xiaomai. Her special ability potential should not be buried. As to what would happen next, Fang Yuan would need to understand more about her and her family background through other channels.
"Bwoo."
