Chapter 1074: Darkening, Three Times Stronger_1

Fang Yuan and Da Wu discussed the collaboration, and it went rather smoothly.

There were three reasons for this.

First, after obtaining Devon's technology, Fang Yuan wouldn't use it in the Pokémon World, so there was no threat to Devon Corporation's status.

Second, Fang Yuan offered too much.

Whether it was the mysterious science or the technology from Rocket Team, both could make up for Devon's shortcomings and expand its scale; no one lost out.

Third, knowing Fang Yuan's strength, Devon was willing to make friends with such an expert, considering Fang Yuan could easily annihilate Rocket Team and joke around with numerous Legendary Pokémon.

Beyond these three points, there was actually the most important one.

Da Wu was drooling over the stones from Earth!

He was constantly thinking about Fang Yuan inviting him to play on Earth...

"If I told my dad about your identity, he might seek to collaborate with you even without you mentioning it..."

"After all, the original intent behind his research into the Dimensional Transmission Device was his desire to collect rare stones from other dimensions."

In a seaside villa in Kanaz City, Da Wu once again hinted at Fang Yuan about when he would invite him to visit Earth.

"You and your father... are really harmless..." Fang Yuan said with a face full of resignation.

Fang Yuan had almost forgotten that the current president of Devon Corporation, Da Wu's father, was an even more fervent stone enthusiast than Da Wu.

Da Wu's hobby for stones was inherited from his father.

For Devon's father and son, the greatest benefit of collaborating with Fang Yuan was the chance to collect stones from another dimension.

Although Fang Yuan had some trouble understanding their hobby... it must be somewhat similar to his own fondness for befriending Legendary Pokémon, right?

Thus, it was often these sorts of folks with odd hobbies who ended up changing the world.

"Uh... better not tell your esteemed father, I don't want too many people to know about my identity."

"I know! My collection hasn't surpassed dad's yet, so I won't let him have the chance to go to Earth before me—"

"Hey—I haven't said I'd take you to Earth yet!!"

Fang Yuan felt like spitting out blood.

Taking someone from this world to Earth, Fang Yuan feared Dream and Celebi would strangle him to death.

However, considering that Da Wu had proactively handed over the Steel Stone Tablet, taking him for a visit to Earth wasn't out of the question.

[Come to think of it, Rang, Da Wu, Mikkeli, Danti, Hirona, these guys are all under 30 years old. If I could form a World Championship team with them and cause an uproar at the Earth World Championships, now that would be interesting...]

Fang Yuan imagined the scene in his head, and not to mention shaking up the World Championships, even if the Guardian Gods of various countries joined in, these few could probably crush them.

If these five teamed up, even ordinary Legendary Pokémon would likely have to skirt around them.

"Don't be so heartless..." Da Wu said helplessly.

By now, it was Fang Yuan's third day at Devon.

In these three days apart from discussing the partnership, the Steel Stone Tablet had already fallen into Fang Yuan's hands.

During this time, Fang Yuan and his company pretty much made themselves at home in Devon.

Rotom and 3D Dragon took up residence in Devon's research center, embracing their studies early on.

Eevee and Victini became obsessed with VR games Devon was currently developing, completely enchanted.

In just three short days, the two Pokémon helped Devon uncover a bunch of bugs and offered numerous suggestions for improvement, becoming Devon's honorary game designers...

As for Fang Yuan, most of the time he was using Armed Magnemite to PK with Da Wu's Metagross Mega.

After each PK session, Armed Magnemite would instruct Metagross Mega on Soul Heart techniques, and Metagross Mega would teach Armed Magnemite how to use Superpowers. In the process of mutual improvement, they also became good friends.

Without the Trainers' commands, these two Pokémon would probably be evenly matched, each having their wins and losses.

"Okay, I might take you to Earth someday... But when we get there, you can't just dig everywhere you like."

Before Da Wu could respond, Fang Yuan suddenly looked out to the distant ocean.

Beneath the azure sky, against the vast expanse of the sea, a speck was approaching quickly.

The sea breeze blew, revealing more clearly the creamy figure and the person upon it.

"Is that Mikkeli...?"

"Uh, seems like it is."

Fang Yuan's visit to Devon had been fortuitously discovered by Mikkeli, who immediately contacted both Da Wu and Fang Yuan, stating he would come over too.

Da Wu and Fang Yuan hadn't expected Mikkeli to act so swiftly, foregoing conventional transportation and instead riding his ace Pokémon across the sea from Liuli City...

......

"That's too much..."

As Mikkeli's Milotic approached the shore, he looked at Da Wu and Fang Yuan waiting for him and displayed a pained expression.

He had been the first to invite Fang Yuan; why had Fang Yuan come to Da Wu's place as a guest first?

Was this the price for ditching Da Wu to find Fang Yuan?

"Mikkeli, don't you have matches to attend? Taking so many days off and still having the time to run around," Da Wu said with a smile as he looked at Mikkeli.

Even though he was a Champion, Mikkeli, the Master of the Gorgeous Battle, was even busier than Champion Da Wu.

A Champion could slack off because there were four other Kings to act as workhorses, but Mikkeli had to run around the Gorgeous Battle venues in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Shinnoh by himself, which was exhausting.

"It's okay... besides the Mikkeli Cup, missing the other matches wouldn't have much of an impact," Mikkeli said as he dismounted from Milotic, then turned to Fang Yuan, "Speaking of which, Mr. Fang Yuan, have you ever participated in a Gorgeous Battle?"

Fang Yuan forced a smile. Not only had he participated, but he was also the creator of the Gorgeous Battles.
