The Pokémon World Championship has concluded.
In fact, it has been less than half a year since Fang Yuan first arrived in the Pokémon World.
If you count carefully, it's just over four months.
Before this, nobody in the Pokémon World knew of Fang Yuan.
But now, the name Fang Yuan might become a legendary symbol in the Trainer Domain of the Pokémon World.
"Mr. Fang Yuan, congratulations,"
Inside the Palace Arena, after everything had ended, President Loz of the Galar League approached Fang Yuan, who was just about to leave, to offer his congratulations once again.
Fang Yuan looked at the middle-aged man, dressed in a grey suit and always smiling, and laughed, "Thank you, President Loz."
"Do you have any plans for what comes next, Mr. Fang Yuan?"
"I need to take a long trip for some important training."
"I see... Then I wish you all the best, Mr. Fang Yuan. Oh, and if you ever visit Galar again, please let me personally show you the local customs and culture," President Loz invited him once more.
"Sure."
Fang Yuan nodded. As Marlocom Group dominated the Galar Region and delved deepest into the research on Dynamax Energy, he thought he might have the opportunity to collaborate with President Loz in the future.
But that might have to wait until he was less busy. With this departure from the Pokémon World, he estimated he wouldn't return for a year and a half.
After the two had shaken hands and said their goodbyes, President Loz of the Galar League watched the Trainer walking away with Eevee, his gaze flickering.
"Next time we meet, I'll extend the invitation again."
"If I can make him understand, the Galar Region might have a bright future ahead."
...
In Fang Yuan's villa, as he was packing up to leave, Ash and the others burst in, quite flustered.
"Tea... Teacher!!"
Ash was yelling even before he entered the door.
Fang Yuan had just sent them a message, telling them to hurry up; otherwise, they would have to make their way back to Johto by themselves.
"You made it."
Looking at the panting, squinty-eyed, perverted Brock, along with Misty, who was dressed in a refreshing mermaid outfit, and the tense Ash, Fang Yuan smiled.
"Phew." Ash and Pikachu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Fang Yuan was still there.
"I'm leaving now. Are you staying in Galar to look around, or heading back to the Johto Region? If you're going back to Johto, I can give you a lift... just like when I dragged you here, I'll instantly send you back."
"Of course, we're going back to Johto, to Goldenrod City!" Ash confidently said, glancing at Pikachu: "We're going to challenge the Goldenrod Gym, and this time we definitely won't lose."
After receiving special training from Fang Yuan for a few days, Ash felt extremely confident and believed he could definitely defeat that big Milk Tank.
"Alright, and don't forget to bring back a Silver Conference Champion title," Fang Yuan said, though he felt that it was unlikely for the time being.
Although Ash had just begun to learn Wave Guide and could at most use it to playfully lift a girl's skirt, the strength and speed Pikachu and Ash could muster through their Gratitude Cheat Book training had just barely surpassed Quick Attack. They still had a long way to go with their Gratitude Training Method.
It would probably take another region visit, and after reaching the Hoenn Region, Ash might grow up a bit.
By then, he would probably have the time to return to the Pokémon World to see for himself...
And witness Ash becoming Champion... and also take the opportunity to send him to train under this timeline's World Tree, where Lucario the Wave-guide Messenger and the World Tree Dreams also needed to be saved. At that time, while he provided a safety net, it would serve as a trial for Ash, letting him re-experience the movie as a true Waveguide User.
"The Silver Conference Champion? No problem!"
Ash immediately agreed again, causing Brock and Misty to sigh beside him.
If Ash in such a state were to win the championship... it would be a huge embarrassment for the Pokémon League!
After chatting with Ash, Pikachu, Brock, and Misty for a while, Fang Yuan called Little Hoopa to prepare to transport them back to the Johto Region.
Outside the Golden circle, they said their farewells to Fang Yuan.
"Goodbye, Teacher~~ Next time we meet, I will definitely become stronger!!" Heart Origin Ash waved his fist as he spoke.
"Mr. Fang Yuan, thank you for your care these past days." "Goodbye, Mr. Fang Yuan~" Brock and Misty waved their hands as well.
"Goodbye."
"Bwoo~!"
Fang Yuan and Eevee both nodded.
Then, he watched them disappear into the ripples of the Golden circle.
...
After Ash and the others had left, Fang Yuan stretched lazily, feeling sentimental about how great it is to be young. Idiot... don't let me down. Hopefully, you can develop a bond with your clever Pikachu and eventually become a real Pokémon Master, which would also fulfill his dream.
Eevee solemnly nodded its head, yes, after all, Alpha Leather (Pikachu) was also its half-student; he couldn't afford to be weak.
"Is he the third student you were talking about?"
At the edge of the villa's eaves, Nastina sat there, watching Fang Yuan say goodbye to Ash and the others, swinging her legs wrapped in black stockings with an awkward expression. She knew Ash, of course; both Ash and Fang Yuan were people from her prophecy. However, compared to Fang Yuan, Ash seemed much more naive in her eyes. Fang Yuan had mentioned to her before about having another little junior, but Nastina had never imagined it would be Ash. The more she thought about it, the less reliable the Heart Source Style seemed to her.
