"Have I... changed some of the plotlines without realizing it?"
Afterward.
Fang Yuan, who was enjoying a feast at Oak Research Institute, fell into contemplation.
According to the normal storyline, Xiaozhi should have immediately gone to the Orange Archipelago, but there was no plot where he stayed to challenge Hirona.
The first encounter between Xiaozhi and Hirona was supposed to happen in the Sinnoh Region.
"Forget it."
Fang Yuan shook his head, deciding not to care anymore.
Let it change however it will; it's not like I haven't changed space-time histories before.
Maybe it's even for the best. At least, Xiaozhi probably won't have the chance to release his Pidgeot while on his way to the Orange Archipelago.
I suppose I've done a good deed.
Brother Eagle—You don't have to wait 20 years for Xiaozhi anymore.
"Mr. Fang Yuan, Brock said that Miss Hirona is the Champion of the Sinnoh Region, and since you're a Trainer from the Sinnoh Region too, you must be well acquainted with her, right?"
Fang Yuan was eating when Xiaozhi, who was also devouring a plate of curry rice, asked for information while eating voraciously.
"Quite acquainted, yes. Her strength is formidable... if you plan to challenge her, you'll need to prepare your tactics well," Fang Yuan thought with a smirk.
"Of course!!"
Xiaozhi was full of fighting spirit.
"By the way, Mr. Fang Yuan, do you also plan to challenge Miss Hirona?!!"
"It's hard to say, fifty-fifty," Fang Yuan said as he touched his nose.
Mewtwo warned me not to be too high-profile, and if I beat Hirona too badly, there would definitely be problems... certainly.
If I only showed mediocre strength, others wouldn't bother with me.
But if I displayed Champion Level strength, people like Dr. Oak and Hirona would definitely investigate thoroughly.
"But it doesn't matter. From another perspective, I can also make my identity more 'legitimate' through Dr. Oak and Hirona," Fang Yuan thought.
After all, both of them were quite righteous people.
"Xiaozhi, you little kid—what do you know? Fang Yuan's mind is probably not on battling."
Off to the side, Brock suddenly wrapped an arm around Fang Yuan with a "I know what's up" expression on his face.
"Huh?" Xiaozhi was clueless.
"Ah—" When Misty saw Fang Yuan and Brock arm in arm, she was shocked, not expecting Fang Yuan to be the same kind of person as Brock.
Fang Yuan: "???"
I mean, I didn't say anything.
Are the kids in your world so precocious?!!
"Pika—" "Bwoo—"
The helpless atmosphere around Fang Yuan ended quickly as Pikachu and Eevee ran over. Eevee climbed onto Fang Yuan's shoulder, satisfied with the day's gains, having taken on a student with great talent in acting.
Pikachu was also very happy, climbing onto Xiaozhi's shoulder, grateful for meeting Eevee and realizing what path it should take going forward.
Life's like a play, only action gets respect!
It aimed to become a Pikachu deity that could lose to rookie Pokemon yet dare to challenge god beasts.
At this moment, neither Fang Yuan nor Xiaozhi had realized the severity of the issue.
Fang Yuan said with an embarrassed smile:
"Whether it's about battling or not, anyway, I really want to meet Miss Hirona. Please let me disturb everyone again tomorrow."
I have nothing to do with tomorrow's matters, and seeing this Champion can only rely on Xiaozhi's relationship.
However, if Fang Yuan really wanted to be involved, it wouldn't be difficult—just showing that he knew more about ancient civilizations than anyone present would be enough.
After all, he was the man who had captured the Ancient Gigantic Rock Lycan!
"Don't worry!! Leave everything to me." Xiaozhi patted his chest with loyalty. The unfinished battle with Fang Yuan would have to wait; he needed to focus on preparing for his upcoming challenge against Hirona.
The fickle Xiaozhi, compared to Fang Yuan, was indeed more eager to challenge Hirona.
"Waiting to see you get thrashed," Fang Yuan thought to himself.
Having seen Hirona's battle videos, he knew her Garchomp could take on the main attacks of the Elite Four's main force, Ace rank Pokemon unscathed through sheer physical strength. This power could, at a minimum, match a High-level Guardian, and possibly even a Top Guardian God.
No wonder she was a Trainer with the qualifications to compete for the title of the strongest Champion...
"I should also start preparing."
.........
After the banquet, Fang Yuan turned down Xiaozhi's invitation and went off to pitch a tent in the suburbs, planning to visit again tomorrow.
"Bwoo..."
In the pitch dark of the night, lit by the moonlight, there was a certain beauty.
As Fang Yuan was setting up inside the tent, Little Eevee, bored, came over and asked when they could go to Rainbow City Game City.
"Just wait a little longer. As soon as I've met Hirona in person, we'll set off right away, okay!" Fang Yuan agreed reluctantly, vigorously rubbing Eevee's ears.
"Bwoo bwoo bwoo!" Eevee rolled around.
It always felt things wouldn't go so smoothly. Its premonitions hadn't been wrong yet.
"Relax. I'll wake Rotom up now; it should have loaded a lot of information about this world by now. Why don't you start by figuring out what interesting games there are in Game City through it?" Fang Yuan suggested with a smile.
Eevee: .ﾟヽ(｡◕‿◕｡)ﾉﾟ.:｡ Confetti rain!
Fang Yuan is the best.
A short while later.
After being woken up, Rotom helped Fang Yuan research Hirona's Champion lineup. Learning it had to wait until after the lineup review to see the game previews, Eevee ran off to the tent's shadow to cough up blood.
