The skies above Galar were clear and blue today, the weather still pleasant.
Fang Yuan, as if on a tour, had once again come to the Galar region.
At this time, there was less than a week left until the end of the regular season of the Pokémon World Championship.
Fisk City.
As the center of the Galar region a long time ago, this place was very important.
The Energy Mansion that provided Dynamax Energy to the energy points of each town and city, ensuring that Gigantamax battles could be promoted throughout Galar, was established here.
Fang Yuan walked along Fist Pass Street, looking at remnants of the city walls and buildings resembling those of the medieval period, enjoying the sights along the way.
"The historical atmosphere is quite rich, isn't it?"
At the moment, Fang Yuan was quite lonely, able to only sight-see and entertain himself.
He didn't have a single Pokémon with him now.
Since Monferno was in intense training, the other Pokémon, refusing to be lazy or relax, still stayed in the Alamos Town Secret Area for training.
Even Venusaur and Mane Rock Werewolf, who had few resources to utilize, were training hard.
After all, during this period, Monferno was constantly on the verge of severe injury, if not already heavily injured.
It could be judged that this time, the buff was definitely an enhanced version.
Haven't you seen Darkrai instantly become almost Legendary Level, and even Fang Yuan barely winning against a true Legendary Level Darkrai?
If you don't strive hard at this moment, then when?
Thus, Fang Yuan, who had come to Galar to climb the rankings, had become a lone figure.
But it wasn't a big problem.
Even alone, he wouldn't encounter any danger.
Fang Yuan's mobile phone could connect at any time to the Rotom in Mewtwo's mobile phone.
He himself was top-level combat power.
He also carried a Psychic Tablet with him, so even Groudon's Full Power Precipice Blades couldn't harm him.
Besides, Fang Yuan also had a ring from Hoopa in his backpack, which could send Pokémon from the Alamos Town Secret Area or Base Island to him at any time.
A full sense of security.
"Qibana, oh Qibana, where are you~"
Fang Yuan, while experiencing the local culture of Fist City, was using his superpower to search for Qibana.
Qibana didn't seem to be very popular.
In the Baiyong Town Secret Area, when Fang Yuan asked who wanted to battle against the Champion Level Qibana, not even Venusaur or Mane Rock Werewolf showed much interest.
Only Victini showed a bit of interest, and of course, it was not interested in fighting itself, but in watching Fang Yuan win.
To wake up the adorable Kira Pray sooner, it couldn't miss any meal of King Level or above.
Although there were often battles on Base Island and in the Baiyong Town Secret Area,
after all, these were meals Victini had eaten many times before.
Even if it was luxurious, eating the same thing repeatedly would get boring.
So a new battle was still a very attractive seasoning for Victini.
"I'll just randomly draw two to battle later."
Treasure Pavilion!
This was an important location in Fist City.
This place housed portraits relating to the legends of the Galar Region.
Qibana, known as "the strongest Gym Leader of the present Galar League," was responsible not only for his duties as Gym Leader but also for managing the Treasure Pavilion.
Emerging from the back door of the Treasure Pavilion, Qibana, with his dark skin and fashionable attire, walked out with one hand in his pocket. For the coming period, he probably wouldn't have time to manage the Treasure Pavilion.
With the final championship approaching, he must reclaim his title as one of the Eight Masters before that.
If at this moment a championship contestant ranked within the top 20 came to challenge him, it would be perfect...
Qibana yearned immensely.
"Grant me an opponent!" he shouted into the sky.
Then, someone stood before him.
"You're 'Storm of Dragons' Qibana, right?"
The Trainer standing in front of Qibana looked at him with a smile.
"Holy shit..."
Qibana jumped back in surprise.
Damn, when did he appear?
How did he show up without making a sound?
He looked at the youth in front of him, his eyes narrowing; the other party had actually found this place?
Because of his keen interest in the Championship, he had carefully studied the information on the top 50 trainers of the championship.
He quickly recognized Fang Yuan's identity.
"Ranked tenth in the Championship, Fang Yuan."
The man who, with a terrifying speed in the rankings, tamed the powerful Darkrai and, following Sir Shinto and Tobias, was hailed as the third 'Beast Man'???
Was he here for him?
"How about a Championship battle?"
Fang Yuan pulled out his phone, looked at the amiable young man, and got straight to the point.
Qibana paused for a moment, then immediately smirked.
"Great, I was just struggling about what opponent to look for next, and unexpectedly someone has come to challenge me."
It wasn't just him struggling; the Galar League was struggling too.
They wanted Qibana to replace Kukui and become one of the Eight Masters again, but to guarantee victory for the upcoming battles, they were still trying to screen for a suitable opponent on their end.
Qibana was originally waiting for news from Miss Olive, but he didn't expect someone to come challenge him on their own accord!
Lucky!
He didn't have all those complicated thoughts like the league; for him, having an opponent was enough!
As a man with Champion Level strength who stayed in Galar to defeat Danti, Qibana feared no challenge.
Of course, the main reason was that he didn't think he would lose, even if the opponent was Fang Yuan, ranked tenth in the Championship, whose win rate and appraisal appeared quite exaggerated.
After all, he himself had reached the top eight at his highest; there was no reason to fear the challenge of a Trainer ranked tenth in the Championship.
"So you're saying, you accept?"
If he could 1 against 2 and overwhelmingly defeat Qibana, it would definitely cause Fang Yuan's points to skyrocket. Not only could he become one of the Eight Masters, but it was also possible for his ranking points to jump into the top few immediately.
