Chapter 1081: Fang Yuan's Idea of Pulling Strings_1

"Really..."

"To think it hasn't even been a day..."

Mikkeli stood beside his own Milotic, slightly straightening his white hat, trying to cool his brain a bit.

(´ー∀ー`) Did I ever say it took 15 months of training with Milotic to master the entire skill?

And on Fang Yuan's side, it had been less than a day since he was given the key information about coordinating multiple forces.

If I had known, I wouldn't have said anything, he thought, watching the Power of the Heart swirling around Fang Yuan and Milotic, gradually coming to an understanding...

(╬ ̄皿 ̄) Is this showing off?

Even Da Wu, who is known for his extravagant spending, would be envious of this ultimate power—

For the Psychics, the Wave-guide Messengers, these Trainers who cultivate Pokemon, breakthroughs indeed make no sense.

"Pwoo..."

Dragonite glanced at Mikkeli and his Milotic.

Sure, Fang Yuan's Power of the Heart is strong, allowing him to wield Trick Power, making Pokemon believe anything he says, but wasn't it the greatest contributor to Milotic's breakthrough?

If it hadn't desperately helped Milotic snatch the Endure Moves Secret Book, showing Fang Yuan how to guide, how could Milotic possibly have broken through so quickly!

So, the victor of this wave is it, not Mikkeli and his Milotic.

Relying on Mikkeli's Milotic teachings, it would take ages...

Huh, ages?

Dragonite's eyes widened in surprise. Was Milotic's easy breakthrough possibly due to...

It turned its head to look for Monferno's figure, but regrettably, Monferno was not in the vicinity for special training.

Dragonite breathed a sigh of relief, fearing its credit would be stolen.

Although Milotic currently possesses the Power of the North Wind, acquired during the Azure Mountain BUFF period, it couldn't possibly still be under the BUFF's inertia after so long. All the credit should belong to it!

"Fuwoo~~~~"

After the breakthrough, Milotic slightly raised its head, feeling its own power.

Thanks to the breakthrough of Mental Power, it perfectly intertwined the Cleansing Water, the Power of the North Wind, and the Freezing Fog around itself in harmony.

On Milotic's beautiful body, crystalline droplets flowed, and around its body, Power of the North Wind whisked up a mist of Freezing Fog, encircling Milotic.

What was different this time was that when Fang Yuan, Mikkeli, and Dragonite looked at Milotic, they weren't first drawn by the three Legendary Powers, but rather instinctively noticed Milotic itself, only afterward perceiving the Legendary Power.

This distinction between primary and secondary made Fang Yuan smile like a proud father.

Speaking of which, in Fang Yuan's team, Milotic is the Pokemon that has been in contact with Legendary Power the most.

As such, its influence from Legendary Power is the deepest.

From evolving at The Lake of Purification to its breakthrough at Sea of Origin, then receiving the Power of the North Wind from Shui Jun... its growth was constantly blessed by the Legendary Power.

By comparison, though several other Pokemon like Monferno are also heavily reliant on Legendary Power, their influence isn't as significant. For instance, Monferno never even touched half a whisker of the Black and White Dragon.

The so-called Intersected Force is all its own mix of Awakened Electricity and Will of Flame, simulated by the help of Fang Yuan, Ditto, and Rotom, mimicking Legendary Power rather than truly receiving a Legendary blessing.

So this force has always been its own power and doesn't have the issue of being affected by Legendary Power like Milotic.

"Perhaps in the future, Milotic can try to harmonize the Legendary Power into a new force, and find its own path?"

Seeing Milotic transform once more, genuinely stepping into the Champion/Guardian God Level, Fang Yuan's heart was full of joy.

Now, with Milotic's relatively perfectly coordinated Legendary Power, it might possible match the one that has reached the High-level Guardian God Level, Mikkeli's Milotic.

Although the chances of winning might not be high, the gap surely isn't as vast as before.

Fang Yuan looked at Mikkeli, and Mikkeli looked back at Fang Yuan.

Both had the impulse to battle each other.

However, just at that moment, a cry came from the sky, and a Skarmory flew swiftly toward them.

The silver shadow passed by, and the figure on the Skarmory became clear to them.

"Da Wu??"

Seeing the figure on the Skarmory, Mikkeli faltered slightly.

"It's me!"

The Skarmory slowly descended, and Da Wu landed with an expression that was far from calm.

"Where are the Self-detonating Magnetic Monsters?"

"Fang Yuan asked."

"Didn't Da Wu take Huge Gold Monster, Armed Magnetic Monster, and Glutton to try out various Energy Block recipes?"

"The Pokémon World's beauty contests and Devon Corporation are considered the birthplace of Energy Blocks, boasting a number of cherished recipes that far surpass those researched and developed by Fang Yuan and Earth's Researchers."

"So in the process of the Armed Magnetic Monster teaching the Huge Gold Monster, it also had the opportunity to encounter many new recipes. As for Glutton, it would certainly not miss out on such a delightful task of taste-testing, and Venusaur, I assume, is responsible for using the leftover cores to produce Tree Fruits for them..."

"They'll be here soon."

"Actually, I'm here to tell you that I've suddenly received a message that I might have to leave for a while," Da Wu said with a wry smile.

After getting off Skarmory, Da Wu turned to Fang Yuan and Mikkeli and asked, "Do you two remember the Water Fleet and the Magma Team?"

The two nodded.

The Water Fleet was annihilated by Fang Yuan using Darkrai and Victini's combined Hypnosis; afterward, two-thirds of their executives were arrested at that time by Interpol, together with the Fangyuan Alliance.

As for the Magma Team, they got involved in the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, and after heavy losses, Da Wu, Mikkeli, and Thousand Miles jointly captured most of their executive forces.

It could be said that with Fang Yuan's meddling, these two villainous organizations in the Area of Fragrant Fate didn't even survive until the start of the plot; they nearly all capsized and perished.

"They? What happened?" Mikkeli frowned.

"The leaders of the Magma Team, Red Flame Pine, and the Water Fleet, Archie, have escaped from the undersea prison with their main deputies."

"How is that possible—" Mikkeli started in astonishment.

Da Wu shook his head, "There must be a mole within the Alliance; I've had my suspicions for a while now, and it's pretty much confirmed. We need to pursue and investigate immediately."

"The Larousse Group?" Mikkeli asked.

The Larousse Group is the second-largest enterprise in the Hoenn region, specializing in high-tech product research and development, and a competitor to Devon, each holding significant sway within the Fangyuan Alliance.

Laurus City, the high-tech city and headquarters of the Larousse Group, is also the setting for the movie "The Space-Time Visitor: Dialga, Palkia, Giratina."

"The Larousse Group..." Fang Yuan quietly listened on the side, as if he had heard some incredible news.

That made sense; with Devon being so powerful, surely there were numerous business rivals.

Flame from the Magma Team and Spring from the Water Fleet were both core employees of the Devon Corporation, but later, for unknown reasons, they defected and joined the two villainous organizations. Now, it seemed possible that the Larousse Group was behind this if they were indeed pushing from behind.

"I'm not sure, but it's worth suspecting," Da Wu said.

"Then I'll go with you," Mikkeli added.

After all, the forces of the Magma Team and the Water Fleet were not small, and if the Larousse Group was truly behind their actions, he wasn't comfortable with Da Wu going alone.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Fang Yuan asked in turn.

Da Wu turned to him, "There's one thing; I'm concerned that if the two organizations resurface, they'll once again target the power of the Ancient Creatures. If you can contact the two Ancient Creatures, Fang Yuan, I hope they can be careful..."

It wasn't that he feared the Ancient Creatures would be harmed by the two organizations, but rather he was afraid that agitating them again would lead to even greater trouble. Da Wu would much rather deal with the Larousse Group than angry Ancient Creatures.

"No problem, leave it to me."

...

In just a short moment, Fang Yuan was left alone in the villa.

Da Wu had to attend to his rare work commitments, and Mikkeli, as Da Wu's friend, volunteered to help. No wonder Da Wu later passed the Champion title on to Mikkeli.

This was like starting the Champion's duties before even taking on the title.

Fang Yuan also wanted to help, but after thinking it over, with Da Wu and Mikkeli there, there wasn't much for him to do. It might be better to follow Da Wu's advice and watch over Groudon and Kyogre.

"Groudon is with me, and Kyogre knows where it is..."

There shouldn't be any issues.

"Alright, with Da Wu gone, once Rotom finishes receiving some of Devon's technologies, it will be time for me to leave as well."

"But before that..."

Fang Yuan looked at Milotic practicing new abilities by the sea and Dragonite approaching her, stroking his chin.

He felt worried for Dragonite.

Should he... give Dragonite a hand?

If it succeeded, everyone would be happy.

If rejected, Dragonite might even have a breakthrough.

He could also understand where the problem lay and find a more targeted way to help Dragonite win Milotic's favor. A single failure isn't the end!

Steady, true to himself.
