"Fuck, how did you guys make such a big fuss?"
When Fang Yuan and He Xiaomai arrived at the China Preparation Zone, Shang Ren was baring his teeth at them.
Can you keep it down? You've got the Huge Gyro Dragon showing up and arriving on it... Aren't you afraid other Guardian Gods will see it as a taunt, and what if it leads to conflicts?
If that happens, it'll be him, the Island King, having to beg the Kapu Guardian Deities to clean up your mess.
"Really?"
After dismounting from Dragonite, Fang Yuan said with a smile.
I mean, there don't seem to be any strong Pokémon on this island at all.
Aside from the four Kapu Guardian Deities, he couldn't sense any other powerful presences.
"(●°u°●)」 Bwoo~"
Eevee felt the same way; it seemed like the Battle of the Guardian Gods was indeed fish in a barrel.
But for creatures like the Mane Rock Werewolf, Venusaur, and Ditto, there might still be some pressure, and Eevee wasn't sure if they could successfully defend the arenas.
"Greetings to all the seniors."
He Xiaomai also got off the Super Ancient Quick Dragon, looking towards President Wen and these seniors from the Twelve Branches to greet them.
"Yes, let's get you settled in first," President Wen said, smiling as he eyed the Giant Garchomp Guardian Deity.
A Dragonite at the Top Guardian God level, if someone like Fang Yuan or a Waveguide User like He Xiaomai could direct it to perform a Z-Move, it would be invincible below the Legendary Level.
But they were all curious about how He Xiaomai had managed to control the dragon's Super Ancient Transformation.
Meanwhile, two figures finally climbed up to Dragon Island through the fog.
Rocco and Shaymin wanted to cry; how did Dragon Island manage to move? They had been flying for who knows how long, almost getting shaken off.
"Jiemi~~ (Master Luo, where should we go next?)" Shaymin turned to ask.
"Let's head straight to the God Battle Location; we're running out of time for you to gain experience on Dragon Island," Rocco said, looking into the distance.
Besides wanting Shaymin to broaden its horizons, he was also eager to see how his other two disciples would perform...
...
That day, members from various nations and Guardian Gods were gradually arriving at God's War Island.
Representatives from the Pokémon Alliance, like President Antonio, naturally came as event guests, representing the Alliance since he managed Legends Resources.
In addition to him, there were also special invitees like Chairman Lucymia of the Nature Foundation, an organization dedicated to reaching agreements with high intellect spirits for peaceful coexistence, not affiliated with any country, and a core member of the Alliance. With countless powerful Pokémon at their disposal, and with Lucymia's daughter Lusamine becoming the Queen of the Island recognized by the Kapu Guardian Deity two years ago, the Nature Foundation's status had risen even higher.
President Antonio of the Pokémon Alliance, Chairman Lucymia of the Nature Foundation, and the Second generation Lilac Master were the special guests responsible for the Battle of the Gods from the human standpoint; they, along with the four Kapu Guardian Deities, would supervise the fair conduct of the Godwar.
"It's the same old crew from the World Championships back then."
In the China Preparation Zone, Fang Yuan tidied up a bit and, after entering his room, picked up the Battle of Gods Manual from the dresser, lamenting as he reviewed the rules and Legend Resources rewards once again.
There were sixteen Legend Resources, competed for in an arena format, with no referee and a random resource announced as the reward for each match—quite a spiritual randomizer. Fang Yuan was now considering whether to go for a straight 10-victory streak from the start or to pick his battles.
After all, although most of these Legend Resources were somewhat weak, with low-ends like Silver Liquid Metal, which Fang Yuan wouldn't even bother with as it was even less useful than the magnets made by the Armed Magnetic Monster, there were still two or three decent ones.
Like that so-called Decayed Sword, likely the former weapon of Zacian and a key item to trigger a PY Legendary Elf. Even though Fang Yuan was sure he could get his hands on a Legendary without it, it wouldn't hurt to collect it first.
"Fang Yuan!"
As Fang Yuan was looking at the Battle of Gods Manual distributed by the Alliance to each room, Shang Ren came running over, seriously informing him about the incident of Kapu Koko possibly detecting a Legendary presence.
Then, Shang Ren saw Fang Yuan's expression turn extremely solemn.
"If it really is a Legendary Pokémon, then a few creatures in my team might have a tricky time if they encounter it..." Fang Yuan said seriously.
Shang Ren: w(ﾟДﾟ)w?
Human language?
What do you mean a few Pokémon might have a tricky time if they encounter it???
"Forget it, don't worry about it. It's just a Legendary, no big deal, we're not exactly without Legendaries of our own," Fang Yuan said, laughing afterward.
"We have one too?!" Shang Ren's eyes lit up.
"Which one is it, the Shui Jun, or..."
Or the mysterious Legendary Pokémon that Kapu Koko mentioned, the one behind Fang Yuan.
Naturally, Kapu Koko was referring to World Tree Dreams.
Fang Yuan chuckled, looking over to Eevee who was picking up a phone by the bedside.
"It's this one. No ordinary Legendary can match it; to beat it, you'd need something at the level of Yveltal, which appeared in France before."
Shang Ren: ???
"(╯‵□′）╯︵┴─┴ Damn it, you've got me all wrapped up in battle secrets, say it or don't." Shang Ren was exasperated, why not just say you're at the Legendary Level yourself.
Even Kapu Koko wasn't confident it could win against Yveltal in a one-on-one fight; that's a higher level of Legendary being, damn.
Shang Ren looked at Eevee; don't think he didn't know what this Eevee was capable of. Shang Ren was aware Eevee had undergone special training with the Kapu family, reaching its peak potential after fundamental training, which was already staggering for Eevee. Now, not even a year had passed since then, and considering Fang Yuan's absurdity, an Ordinary Guardian God? Even if it were a Higher or Top Guardian God like Eevee, he'd accept it, but Fang Yuan claiming it was on par with the Kapu family's Legendary Level was just too much. Did he really think Shang Ren could be fooled that easily?
