The Beginning of the Third Trainer Tide

This was not the life Fang Yuan yearned for.

Among China's Twelve Earthly Branches, the trainer most familiar to the public was Master Ma Chenzong.

He was the president of the National College Competitive Games Committee and was responsible for discovering promising young trainers.

He appeared as a guest at nearly every National Competition, and he had also shown up at numerous competitions of all sizes.

Fang Yuan became one of the Twelve Earthly Branches at the beginning of September. Starting around then, Grand Festivals began to be held successively in all nineteen first-tier cities across the country.

Compared to ordinary Pokémon Battle competitions, Grand Festivals, paired with Energy Cubes, were what Fang Yuan considered key to driving the Third Trainer Tide.

If he attended in person and reformed the shortcomings of each event, it would definitely do more good than harm to the development of Grand
