Through the interrogation of Kim Yunmi, Jeong Byeongha obtained extremely useful information.
The most powerful trainers present were Natalie and Fang Yuan, while Chen Meilin and Yoko Suzuki seemed easy to deal with.
The most mysterious of them was Fang Yuan, the first trainer to find Emuritto and possibly having had deeper contact with it.
At the very least, Fang Yuan absolutely had to be detained, and must undergo their strict scrutiny.
Thus, the main targets of their attack were locked on Natalie and Fang Yuan.
Hum——
A strong psychic power swept over from the Dreamweaver on the other side, aiming to control and hypnotize Fang Yuan with psychic powers to accept the inspection.
Facing the blue mental fluctuation, Fang Yuan squinted his eyes.
At the same time.
With a "Boom!", an even more powerful psychic power erupted.
The Sun Eevee beside Fang Yuan took action immediately, crushing over with a far more immense mental power, unleashing astonishing force. Under the psychic shockwave, the Dreamweaver's head buzzed, feeling somewhat groggy.
Thump!
The Dreamweaver stepped back, rubbing its head.
"Roar!!" At the same moment, a canine Pokemon that resembled a hellhound in black charged at Sun Eevee. The Sharped, with its gaping maw, was incredibly fast and seemed intent on ripping Sun Eevee apart, aiming to neutralize its combat ability.
"Indeed, not an ordinary trainer!!" Seeing Sun Eevee's strength beside Fang Yuan, Jeong Byeongha frowned.
Sharped rushed forward; the Dark Type Sharped was clearly sent specifically to counter Sun Eevee in order to restrain the other's superpower. However, before Sharped could react, a huge and terrifying shadow suddenly emerged from the ground in front of it.
The suddenly appearing shadow, like a giant wrapped in purple flames, had a very eerie body. Confirming that a fight was imminent, Glutton immediately blocked Sharped's path, cackling.
It was its turn to act.
Whooosh!!
Purple Ghostfire spewed forth from Dark Phantom in an instant, transforming into a vortex of flames that devoured Sharped.
"Fools!!" Jeong Byeongha chuckled inwardly, as if he could already envision Sharped breaking through the flames and instantly obliterating Ghostss.
Facing a Sharped unaware of its ability, using Ghostfire was truly rookie behavior.
His Sharped's ability was Flame Pull.
"Swap," Fang Yuan said unflappably to the Sun Eevee beside him.
The next moment, the purple Ghostfire suddenly darkened. After that, Ghostss used a sinister Black Ghostfire. The Black Ghostfire wound around Sharped, enveloping it in a ball of black flames, and within the fire, Sharped let out terrifying screams of agony.
Hearing the Growl, Jeong Byeongha's expression changed drastically.
Behind Ghostss, Sun Eevee felt its newly acquired power, savoring it in detail—so, this is the power of Fire Pull?
Indeed interesting.
Under the Ability Swap Moves, Sharped, now deprived of its Flame Pull attribute, couldn't adjust to the new ability. Faced with Glutton, whose Black Ghostfire could not be dispersed due to its undying nature, there was only despair.
Glutton's laughter became even weirder as it thunderously passed through Sharped's body.
In the initial clash, the adversary's vanguard Sharped was directly obliterated.
The professional trainers from Korea were just too weak.
Although they had two professional trainers, in Fang Yuan's eyes, their forceful scrutiny was no different from a joke.
Fang Yuan, who had just obtained superpower, and with his Pokemon concealing many secrets, naturally wouldn't submit to a foreign power's inspection, especially since… Fang Yuan detested violence.
And at this moment,
Next to Fang Yuan, the Self-detonating Magnemite concentrated a powerful magnetic field, with nine steel bombs orbiting within it, securely locking onto the enemy.
However, it seemed unlikely to need to take action, nor did the Fierce Fire Monkey.
Bang… bang… bang…
Bang… bang…
Across them, the Pokémon surrounding the four Korean Trainers, including those around Kim Yunmi, suddenly rolled their eyes and fainted under the influence of a terrifying wave of mental power.
One after another, the Pokémons' collapse was a direct and shocking stimulation to the hearts of those few people.
The battle hadn't even started... and it was over?
Chen Meilin and Yoko Suzuki, who were panicking at the thought of an imminent conflict, now looked at each other, at a loss for what had happened.
What just happened?
Kim Yunmi was also hung up in the air, her scalp tingling with horror as she turned to look at Fang Yuan's side.
The Pokémon that had caught up to Natalie and engaged in battle with her also turned their heads upon hearing the commotion, only to see their Trainer, wearing an expression of disbelief, suspended in mid-air by an unknown force; with the Trainer taken hostage, they dared not move.
Suddenly, this entire searching squad was wiped out, without any capacity for resistance.
"This guy..." Natalie noticed the anomaly and shuddered. Was this Fang Yuan's doing? She was suddenly somewhat relieved that she hadn't clashed with Fang Yuan at the time.
An elite search squad had revealed their intention to attack Fang Yuan and, in less than five seconds, was completely defeated.
This power also greatly shocked Natalie.
The Self-detonating Magnemite, Sun Eevee, Glutton, and the Fierce Fire Monkey standing next to Fang Yuan looked at Luo Kuo, who was gradually revealing her form and emanating red light from her eyes, with a chill in their hearts.
Just how strong is this lady's true strength...?
"If you want to interrogate me, first ask whether my country agrees or not," Fang Yuan took out the vibrating locator and looked up at the sky.
In the clear blue sky, three large Pokémon with an orange hue, ridden by Trainers, were descending while emitting roars like those of dragons.
Fang Yuan's expression suddenly became strange; he stared at the descending three Pokémon, taken aback.
Sun Qianshang, who had previously acted as Fang Yuan's bodyguard, was also among the trio. This was Hua Nation's Trainer Team, but what Fang Yuan hadn't expected was that they would arrive so quickly, and even more... they had deployed at least three Dragonites as flying transports. Had he known it would be like this... Fang Yuan would have simply delayed and waited for them to solve the problem for him.
After descending to the ground, Sun Qianshang, wearing a look of surprise, turned her gaze toward Fang Yuan. At the same time, she also observed the situation around her and her expression turned sour.
"What happened?" Sun Qianshang asked.
"It seems we have Spirit Hunters disguised as Korean Trainers who not only attacked important researchers of Hua Nation but also attempted to steal Pokémon. Truly despicable, yet their strength was weak and, in turn, they were subdued..." Fang Yuan said after a pause.
At his words, the Trainers suspended by Luo Kuo's psychic powers instantly widened their eyes.
"Understood," Sun Qianshang nodded: "Take them into custody."
…
Half a day later, at the Dianyuan Mountain China Trainers' Association's headquarters, Fang Yuan, dressed in new clothes, met an important figure who had come from within the country.
In the presence of this person, the Deputy Chairman of the Dianyuan Mountain China Trainers' Association, a Master Level Trainer, followed like a subordinate.
The disheveled old man who resembled a wandering beggar scratched his head and looked at Fang Yuan with a wide grin. Although the man's clothes appeared much tidier, Fang Yuan immediately remembered him.
He was the mysterious old man who had lost to him and handed over the secret technique manual on Pretentiousness in Jinling No. 19 Street...
The true identity of this man was that of a top Psychic Master in Hua Nation and one of the most elite Trainers, a member of the Association's headquarters' Twelve Earthly Branches, known as "Hai".
