Chapter 853 Island Protectors_1

Fang Yuan coming over?

This bit of news gave Master Niu Bai Bai quite a headache.

He dragged his slightly overweight body to his feet, his eyes darting around in confusion.

What's going on?

Why wasn't Fang Yuan busy spearheading the third wave of the Trainer movement back in the country? Why come here?

Oh right, Fang Yuan seemed to have taken a vacation... Maybe he came over to enjoy a beach holiday?

Soon, Fang Yuan's voice came through again.

"Master Niu, I've reviewed the reports on the Many Island Secret Realm, and it's quite fascinating. Here's a piece of advice for you all—don't even think about the resources of the secret location, no matter what you find, even if it's Legendary Level resources... don't get any ideas..."

"I know a bit about the inside story of this secret location. I'll give you the details when I arrive, but for now, I can give you a brief overview."

Upon hearing this, Master Niu Bai Bai was stunned.

Fang Yuan said, "At the heart of the Many Island Secret Realm are four uniquely environmental massive islands."

"Each island is home to its own Island Protector."

"These Protectors are not what we refer to as having Guardian God Level Combat Power; they are actual Legendary Pokémon with divine power."

"At least four of them."

"Their duty is to protect the natural resources of the islands."

"So, no matter what treasures you find, don't rush to take them away, or it will cause trouble..."

High above a certain sea area, Fang Yuan, sitting on Dragonite, gave his instructions.

In this setting, these four creatures are no saints.

For instance, Tapu Koko is known to love attacking humans and Pokémon who ruin its mood; it's a deity with a fierce temperament.

Tapu Lele, while possessing an innocent side, also harbors a ruthlessness that can destroy its foes.

Tapu Bulu, though not fond of conflict, will never forgive those who harm nature.

And the same goes for Tapu Fini.

With just a hammer in hand, Fang Yuan could figure out the first thing those international exploration teams would do upon entering the secret realm.

Loot resources, of course!

This is undoubtedly an act of harming nature.

"Four... Legendary Pokémon?!" Niu Bai Bai was shaken.

"We haven't done anything improper, have we?" Fang Yuan asked.

"Well... no, our Trainers are quite respectful of the rules," Niu Bai Bai replied.

Big-country Trainers have seen a lot and won't be as desperate as those from small countries' Trainer teams.

Exploring the secret realm with a sense of reverence has always been the Hua Nation Trainers' way of conducting themselves.

This approach has brought many benefits to the Trainer Association, such as earning the friendship of some wise Pokémon, for example.

And it's precisely due to this approach that the first batch of Trainers from the Hua Nation Association to enter the Many Island Secret Realm didn't suffer any casualties.

"That's good," Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Following the rules is a good thing.

This exploratory attitude might seem cowardly to some foreign Trainers, but it's effective.

For now, it's only been the Overlord Spirits taking action; the situation isn't that severe yet. If the second wave of top-tier Trainer teams went in and dared to fight the Overlord Spirits, forcing the Island Protectors to show up, then things would really go downhill.

The attitude of the Island Protectors towards Earth Trainers is still unclear.

Fang Yuan planned to meet them in person.

As for whether Fang Yuan would be attacked, there's basically no need to worry about that.

Fang Yuan is a Guardian of the World Tree, and the World Tree is the key to maintaining the natural ecosystem of the Pokémon World.

These four Island Protectors are guarding just a section of the island ecosystem, but behind him, the Pokémon called Dream is protecting the ecosystem of an entire planet.

Consequently, for whatever reason, the Island Protectors will only show respect for Fang Yuan, the Guardian of the World Tree, rather than hostility.

Unless Fang Yuan was asking for trouble... but how could he possibly seek death when there's fun to be had elsewhere!

In short, he would definitely not be attacked by the Island Protectors.

But as for other humans, that's not necessarily the case.

............

Shortly after,

Fang Yuan arrived at the location of the Trainer Association branch.

Because of Fang Yuan's communication, Master Niu Bai Bai unexpectedly did not send the recently assembled top Trainer Team off immediately.

Although he didn't know where Fang Yuan's information came from, he believed Fang Yuan would not speak recklessly about such matters.

Upon arriving at the Association branch, Fang Yuan finally met with Master Niu Bai Bai, who was plump and had very fair skin.

"Master Niu."

"Dr. Fang."

After their secret meeting, Fang Yuan got straight to the point.

"Most of the information about the Many Island Secret Realm I heard from another Phantom Pokémon."

"Right, that Pokémon is the Prince of the Sea. You should know about it, Master Niu."

Currently, apart from Fang Yuan, Dream did not want to reveal its existence to anyone else, so Fang Yuan had no choice but to pin the blame on it.

"The Prince of the Sea, Manafei?!"

As soon as the Prince of the Sea was mentioned, Master Niu Bai Bai immediately realized—it had long been rumored that Fang Yuan had gained the recognition of Manafei. Since the information came from the Prince of the Sea, there was no problem.

It must be true.

After all, all these secret locations appeared out at sea, and it was quite normal for Manafei to know some insider information.

Frankly speaking, the mention of Manafei carried more weight than if Fang Yuan said he was told by Dream.

"The second exploration team is still on standby, so what should our next move be?"

Master Niu Bai Bai decided to consider Fang Yuan's opinion.

"Should we call them over and discuss a strategy?"

Fang Yuan said, "Other countries have already taken action, right? Then our team should proceed as normal, too; however, I want to go with them. Moreover, the command of this team should be handed over to me."

Giving up on entering the Many Island Secret Realm was out of the question.

However, this time Fang Yuan was leading the Trainer Team from the China Association not to snatch resources,

but to help the Overlord Spirits, the Island Protectors, protect the resources of the secret realms.

In this way, the China Association would most likely gain the friendship of the Island Protectors.

Regarding those they recognized, the Island Protectors were not stingy.

Like in the original story, the Island King and Queen of the Island were all Trainers chosen and recognized by them.

For the Trainers they recognized, they would even directly gift Brilliant Stones and Z Pure Crystals.

In any case, forming a good relationship with the Island Protectors was definitely wiser than offending them.

The current international situation was such that the more recognition a country gained from Legendary Pokémon and Phantom Pokémon, the stronger it became.

In comparison, fighting for the resources of some secret realms was shortsighted.

Even in the original story, where human technological force could contend with Legendary Pokémon, the attitude of The Pokémon Alliance was still to prioritize good relations with the Legendary Pokémon.

After all, their power was truly a formidable deterrent to humans.

"But,"

Master Niu Bai Bai frowned, letting Fang Yuan enter such a dangerous secret location??

"It's no problem,"

Fang Yuan said lightly. As he spoke, Darkrai appeared behind him without Master Niu Bai Bai noticing at all. In addition, perched on Darkrai's shoulder was a cream-colored Pokémon waving at him with a smile.

The Nightmare God… Darkrai.

The Victory God, Victini.

Fang Yuan had actually brought these two with him.

Master Niu Bai Bai was momentarily speechless. Fang Yuan was already strong on his own, but with the support of these two Pokémon, he could easily pass the Road of Champions.

Perhaps even the President, Battle God Fu Hei, would be at a disadvantage against Fang Yuan.

Ah… with two Phantom Pokémon as bodyguards, there's nothing to worry about. Go ahead then.

Those uninitiated might think you were going to overthrow a country or something…
