Chapter 326: Fang Yuan = James?_1

"Luo Kuo... did you use Illusion Technique just now?"

The Onix turned away and left with a show of confidence, making Fang Yuan feel like something was missing.

He had thought a fight was imminent.

"Sorry, I forgot to cast the illusion earlier, it left on its own," Luo Kuo said.

Left on its own?

Fang Yuan fell silent. So, did that mean this Onix didn't have any intention to attack?

Although the Onix looked big, its strength wasn't necessarily powerful. As long as Pokemon like that didn't appear in groups, Fang Yuan felt it was still manageable.

If the other Wild Pokemon here were also like this Onix, lacking the intent to attack, that would be great.

"It's a pity I don't have extra Poké Balls on me, otherwise the depths of Champion Mountain... would definitely be a good place to capture Pokemon," Fang Yuan thought to himself.

...

Now, Fang Yuan faced two paths.

One was to head to the outer areas and leave as quickly as possible; the other was to continue wandering here in search of Emuritto. And whichever he chose, without his backpack having been transported, he would have to find food again.

"Tsk, no signal?"

None of the communication devices on Fang Yuan, including his cell phone, had a signal.

Champion Mountain's magnetic field was complicated to begin with, and this being the depths of Champion Mountain, it seemed there was no hope of contacting Sun Qianshang and the others.

Now, Fang Yuan could only hope that the few special navigation devices he carried would still work and allow others to find him.

"Let's look for Emuritto."

Having come this far, Fang Yuan naturally couldn't just give up; he chose to continue his search for Emuritto.

First, Fang Yuan had the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster fly high to scout the terrain.

"Blub blub blub blub~~~" After floating up high, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster saw a conspicuously large lake.

A lake...

As Emuritto was known among the Lake Gods, searching for it naturally started at a lake.

Soon after the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster landed, Fang Yuan set his destination.

The lake wasn't far from them; if they traveled at full speed, they should be able to reach it before nightfall.

"Same old rules, Self-detonating Magnetic Monster and Glutton, scout ahead."

"Eevee, Luo Kuo, protect me and the Fierce Fire Monkey..."

Fang Yuan said this with an expectant expression and timidly, while the Fierce Fire Monkey beside him was embarrassed, but what Fang Yuan said was all too true.

Here, Fang Yuan and it were the least useful.

Good for nothing, except for being number one in eating.

Wait... that was before, ever since Glutton joined the team, Fierce Fire Monkey wasn't even number one in eating anymore.

"Acha~~" Fierce Monkey shed tears.

Hmm~~

The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster led the way, scouting from the skies, while Glutton nodded, turned into mist and disappeared into the ground, weaving through the valleys.

The Sun Eevee obediently stayed by Fang Yuan's side, it had to protect this Trainer that caused nothing but worry.

And Luo Kuo followed behind Fang Yuan. This way, she could immediately react if Fang Yuan ended up in danger.

...

Natalie was extremely vigilant now, even her nerves were tensed up.

Just moments ago, she had sent out Raven Boss to scout the area and encountered a self-detonating Magnemite flying in the sky; neither Pokemon attacked, but upon its return, Natalie's extensive experience led her to believe there might be other human Trainers nearby.

Natalie, clad in camouflage, hailed from Israel and was one of the female Trainers who had seen Emuritto, similarly transported here by it.

She was a professional Trainer from Israel, with considerable strength, but in such a place, even a Professional Trainer merely qualified for self-protection.

"Which country are they from," Natalie muttered to herself.

In Asia, the level of Professional Trainers is highest in Hua Nation, primarily because of the multitude of Trainers there, which means the selection of Professional Trainers is more stringent.

Every nation's Trainer Association has different assessment standards for Professional Trainers.

The strength of Professional Trainers from other countries might not reach the level of a superpower like Hua Nation, but as a developed country, Israel's Professional Trainers wouldn't be too far behind, certainly much stronger than those from lesser-known small countries.

Natalie now only hoped that she would encounter a regular Trainer.

"It would be bad if it's a Hunter."

Natalie was ready for battle, and she was in a terrible mood.

Suddenly transported here, she was left with only three Pokemon, while the other three had remained at the camp, not having been transported with her.

For a Professional Trainer, having an incomplete team significantly limited their capability.

However, what gave Natalie some comfort was that for some unknown reason, since arriving here, she had encountered many wild Pokemon, some extremely strong individuals, but these Pokemon did not seem to have the intent to attack her when they saw her.

And Natalie, naturally, had no intention of provoking them.

If all these Pokemon were like this, she was confident she could safely exit Champion Mountain.

However, if she was about to face human Trainers, Natalie couldn't judge their intentions.

The thoughts of humans are much more complex than those of Pokemon.

Stopping in her tracks, Natalie began setting traps as a precaution.

But just as Natalie was being very cautious and her three Pokemon were also on guard, a figure appeared out of nowhere, sitting on a rock not far from Natalie, smiling at her, a self-detonating Magnemite behind him.

Whoosh!

As soon as Natalie noticed Fang Yuan, she quickly drew her gun, aiming at him, while her Pokemon reacted instantly, positioning themselves protectively behind Natalie, glaring fiercely at Fang Yuan.

"He actually has a gun," Fang Yuan was quite surprised inside. It was his first time seeing a Trainer with a gun. And although Natalie had a gun in hand, Fang Yuan felt no fear, for she was aiming not at him, but at an illusion.

She couldn't recognize Luo Kuo's Illusion Technique!

Having confirmed this, Fang Yuan relaxed slightly.

"Who are you?" Natalie asked in Hua Nation's language.

Due to its international status, Hua Nation's language was quite important in Asia, and generally, Professional Trainers from various Asian countries were skilled in it. Rather than using the language of Israel, it now seemed more appropriate for Natalie to use Hua Nation's language or English when addressing a Trainer of unknown identity.

Oh?

Hearing Natalie's question, Fang Yuan was amused.

Clearing his throat, he said,

"Since you have asked so earnestly, I shall magnanimously tell you, 'to prevent the world from devastation, to unite all peoples within our nation, to denounce the evils of truth and love, to extend our reach to the stars above, the handsome and charming...'"

"Shut up! I asked for your name," Natalie furrowed her brows, thinking, maybe he's brain-damaged?

But, this person seemed quite young, perhaps juvenile would be a better description.

"How boring," Fang Yuan couldn't help feeling resigned. Luo Kuo really wasn't cooperating with him, such interesting lines and Luo Kuo found them embarrassing?

"My name is James," Fang Yuan said after pondering.

James? Natalie's expression turned grave.
