Chapter Summaries

Fang Yuan returned to Peaceful City First High School, encouraged the school team to build strong bonds with their Pokémon, and challenged Teacher Bai Ning to a battle. The chapter ended as Bai Ning sent out Beautifly and Fang Yuan, having forgotten Eevee, sent out Gastly for its first Trainer battle.

• Fang Yuan challenged Teacher Bai Ning, who agreed to battle him.
• Teacher Bai Ning brought Fang Yuan to the gymnasium to speak with the school team, and Director Wu introduced him to the students.
• Fang Yuan told the students that Trainers should put their hearts into their relationships with their Pokémon, and Director Wu added his advice to their training slogan.
• The school team and teachers gathered to watch Fang Yuan's exhibition battle with Teacher Bai Ning.
• Fang Yuan and Teacher Bai Ning sent out Gastly and Beautifly, respectively, beginning Gastly's first battle against another Trainer's Pokémon.

Fang Yuan and his newly acquired Shiny Gastly battled Teacher Bai Ning’s Beautifly in a school demonstration, impressing the audience despite losing. Bai Ning pointed out Gastly’s slow responses, then learned Fang Yuan had only had it for three or four days.

• Fang Yuan sent Gluttony Ghost to battle Teacher Bai Ning’s Beautifly, surprising the teachers who recognized Gastly as a Shiny Pokémon.
• Gastly used Will-O-Wisp, but Beautifly countered with Ominous Wind and water-based moves before increasing its speed with Agility and Quiver Dance.
• Fang Yuan used Double Team and Shadow Sneak to surround Beautifly with phantom attacks, but Beautifly fought back and the battle ended without a win for Fang Yuan.
• Bai Ning praised Gastly’s strength but said its slow responses and Fang Yuan’s poor coordination had cost them opportunities.
• Fang Yuan said he had owned Gastly for about three or four days, leaving Bai Ning and the others stunned.

Fang Yuan and Magneton created Golden Energy Cubes that restored and strengthened Pokémon while revealing a new use for Gastly’s stored Life Energy. The chapter ended with Gastly discovering that Life Energy could make its Will-O-Wisp persist even when others tried to extinguish it.

• Fang Yuan bought Berries after training Gastly and planned more battles for his Pokémon.
• Fang Yuan and Magneton made four Golden Energy Cubes, which Gastly, Eevee, Magneton, and Monferno eagerly ate.
• Fang Yuan found that the cubes replenished Life Energy, helped heal injuries, and improved Pokémon’s vitality.
• Gastly discovered that Life Energy from the cubes could fuel its Will-O-Wisp.
• Gastly’s Life Energy-fueled Will-O-Wisp stayed lit when Eevee and the others tried to extinguish it.

After Gastly mastered an exceptionally persistent black Will-O-Wisp, Fang Yuan planned to build its training around the flames and their offensive potential. When Monferno worried that it could not keep up with the others, Fang Yuan revealed a training path based on its lightning talent and introduced Thunder Armor.

• Fang Yuan tested Gastly’s black Will-O-Wisp and found that its flames and burns resisted common ways of extinguishing or healing them, though using the move consumed Life Energy.
• Fang Yuan decided that Gastly would make Will-O-Wisp the core of its training and considered combining the flames with moves such as Shadow Sneak to create Will-O-Wisp Armor.
• Monferno grew restless after Gastly surpassed it and asked Fang Yuan how it could keep up with the other Pokémon.
• Fang Yuan explained that Monferno’s Iron Fist Ability alone would not be enough to stand out among the team.
• Fang Yuan pointed out that Monferno could control lightning as well as fire and taught it the idea behind Thunder Armor, a technique meant to boost vitality, reaction speed, and combat speed.

Fang Yuan explained his Thunder Armor technique to Monferno and proposed using Mimic to help it understand how electric energy could enhance its body. The next day, Monferno had already learned Mimic through Eevee’s unconventional teaching method, leaving Fang Yuan stunned.

• Fang Yuan explained that Monferno could refine Thunder Armor by using Mimic to copy Abilities that affected its body.
• Fang Yuan sent Monferno to learn performance and imitation from Eevee while he researched how to teach Mimic.
• Eevee protested that teaching Monferno would cut into its phone time, but Fang Yuan insisted it help for ten days or half a month.
• The next day, Monferno told Fang Yuan it had learned Mimic and demonstrated copying Gastly’s Levitate Ability.
• Eevee revealed that it had used Ability Swap to change Monferno’s Ability, helping it learn Mimic, and had mastered Ability Swap itself in the process.

Fang Yuan learned that Monferno had independently mastered Mimic, but delayed its Thunder Armor training until it could use the move proficiently. He asked Teacher Li Chang to help find Pokémon with useful Abilities to imitate, and received a list of possible training partners in Flat City.

• Monferno told Fang Yuan it could imitate another Pokémon's Ability for up to twenty seconds, though unfamiliar Abilities were difficult to control.
• Fang Yuan postponed Monferno's Thunder Armor training and ordered Eevee to practice Ability Swap with it.
• Fang Yuan messaged Teacher Li Chang for help arranging training with a Marowak that had Lightning Rod and finding Trainers whose Pokémon had suitable Abilities.
• Teacher Li Chang sent Fang Yuan a list of Flat City Trainers and Pokémon, including a Zebstrika with Electric Engine, a Jolteon with Volt Absorb, a Raichu with Static, a Mightyena with Quick Feet, and a Machamp with Guts.

After the New Year, Fang Yuan reunited with Liu Le and Lin Jing, who described the grueling training and fieldwork at her police academy. Lin Jing agreed to battle Fang Yuan, but Liu Le warned her that Fang Yuan had recently defeated Didu University’s strongest trainers.

• Fang Yuan postponed his training plans for Monferno until after the New Year, and his family celebrated Spring Festival in Nanwu Town.
• After returning to Flat City, Fang Yuan, Liu Le, and Lin Jing met at Liu Le’s family café.
• Lin Jing described the police academy’s intense training, her wilderness experience, and how she and Arcanine helped capture a wanted criminal.
• Lin Jing told Fang Yuan and Liu Le that she had caught a Staravia and a Lilligant, and Fang Yuan shared how many Pokémon he had caught.
• Fang Yuan invited Lin Jing to battle, and she accepted, eager to test her evolved Arcanine against his Pokémon.
• Liu Le warned Lin Jing that Fang Yuan had defeated Didu University’s freshmen, Competitive Club president, and school-team vice-captain, leaving her stunned.

Fang Yuan took Lin Jing and Liu Le to the Lightning Club, where he arranged an appointment with Coach Ellie to train against her Pokémon. The chapter left Ellie watching Fang Yuan battle Lin Jing and realizing he had likely sought her out because she owned a Magnezone.

• Lin Jing struggled to believe Liu Le's claim that Fang Yuan was Didu University's team vice-captain, but insisted on battling him.
• Fang Yuan brought Lin Jing and Liu Le to the Lightning Club and asked the staff to arrange an appointment with Coach Ellie, who owned a Zebstrika with Electric Engine.
• Ellie returned to the club after Fang Yuan and his friends had gone to Battle Room C12.
• Fang Yuan's Gastly overwhelmed Lin Jing's Lilligant with Will-O-Wisp.
• Fang Yuan sent Magneton against Lin Jing's Arcanine, and Ellie recognized that he likely wanted to spar with her because she owned a Magnezone.

Fang Yuan's Magneton defeated Lin Jing's Arcanine, and Coach Ellie told him Magneton was ready to evolve once it reached a special magnetic field. The chapter ended with Ninetales leaving the Sun and Moon Forest Secret Realm, angry that Fang Yuan had not returned with her promised gift.

• Lin Jing sent Arcanine to battle Magneton, and Arcanine used Flare Blitz and Extreme Speed to fight through Magneton's Gravity Field.
• Magneton split into three with Electromagnetic Force to dodge Arcanine, then struck it with Thunder and won the battle.
• Lin Jing recalled Arcanine and vowed to train harder, while Ellie approached Fang Yuan and praised Magneton's readiness to evolve.
• Ellie offered to recommend special magnetic-field locations, but Fang Yuan said he had come for another reason and that Monferno needed training.
• Ninetales left the Sun and Moon Forest Secret Realm, furious that Fang Yuan had forgotten her promised gift and taken Gluttony Ghost away.

Fang Yuan trained Monferno to develop his Thunder Armor technique by having it endure Zebstrika’s electric attacks and recover with Energy Cubes. After sixteen days, Monferno produced a powerful Thunder Punch, but Fang Yuan saw that the technique still caused severe side effects and needed further development.

• Fang Yuan arranged for Zebstrika to spar with Monferno and serve as its Mimic Move target at Lightning Club.
• Fang Yuan began training Monferno by having it Mimic Zebstrika’s Electric Engine Ability and endure increasingly strong electric attacks.
• Fang Yuan fed Monferno Energy Cubes to help it recover and instructed Magneton to join Zebstrika in shocking it once Zebstrika grew tired.
• Over more than half a month, Monferno Mimicked several Abilities that Fang Yuan believed could help it develop Thunder Armor.
• On the sixteenth day, Monferno used Awakening Electric energy to unleash a powerful Thunder Punch, but the strike left its arm numb.
• Fang Yuan judged the technique incomplete because it did not yet cover Monferno’s whole body, improve its speed and explosive force, or avoid severe side effects.

Fang Yuan received approval to travel to Power Supply Mountain and planned to evolve Magneton there. When he returned to Magic University, he found Ninetales Beauty had come to stay with him and offered to teach his Pokémon techniques, prompting Eevee to reconsider after Fang Yuan promised illusion skills could help it enter offline e-sports competitions.

• Fang Yuan received his travel permit and chose Power Supply Mountain as the place for Magneton's Special Evolution.
• Fang Yuan returned to Magic University after a month away, during which Monferno improved with Thunder Armor and Gluttony Ghost increased its Life Energy storage.
• Fang Yuan found Ninetales Beauty in his dormitory, where she asked him to let her stay temporarily.
• Ninetales Beauty offered to teach Sunny Day and illusion techniques in exchange for staying with Fang Yuan.
• Eevee objected to Ninetales Beauty moving in, but Fang Yuan convinced it that illusion skills could let it compete in offline e-sports as a human.

Fang Yuan and Eevee welcomed a Ninetales who chose the name Luo Ke and hoped to learn illusion techniques from her. As Fang Yuan prepared to leave for Power Supply Mountain, Luo Ke agreed to stay behind, while Fairy Champion Xie Qingyi learned of his travel plans and messaged him.

• Luo Ke chose to sleep on Fang Yuan's Snorlax plush, and Eevee agreed to let her stay in hopes of learning illusion techniques.
• Fang Yuan suggested the name Luo Ke after she rejected Su Daji, and Ninetales accepted it.
• Fang Yuan told Luo Ke that he and his Pokémon would travel abroad for a week, and she agreed to remain at the dorm because she lacked an ID Card.
• Xie Qingyi learned that Fang Yuan's international travel permit had been approved and messaged him asking if he was going abroad.

After Xie Qingyi warned Fang Yuan that Pokémon Hunters might target his rare Pokémon abroad, he agreed to bring a bodyguard on his trip to Power Supply Mountain. He arrived at Kanto Airport with a young woman and prepared to seek out a Special Evolution Magnetic Field for Magneton.

• Xie Qingyi called Fang Yuan and warned him that Pokémon Hunters could target his Shiny Gastly and rare Espeon at Power Supply Mountain.
• Xie Qingyi advised Fang Yuan to hire a Professional Trainer bodyguard and contact the China Trainer Association Branch; Fang Yuan agreed and mentioned he had a possible bodyguard nearby.
• Two days later, Fang Yuan boarded a private plane with a young woman in modern clothing and flew away from Magic City.
• Fang Yuan arrived at Kanto Airport in Power Supply Mountain and prepared to find a Special Evolution Magnetic Field for Magneton.

Fang Yuan arrived in Power Supply Mountain to evolve his Magneton in the Silver Stone Zone and met the local Trainer Association leaders and his assigned bodyguard, Sun Qianxiang. Xiang Enkun revealed that Fang Yuan was a well-known researcher personally entrusted to them by the Fairy Type Elite Four, while Luo Ke was a powerful Pokémon disguised by an illusion.

• Fang Yuan arrived at Kanto Airport, where Sun Qianxiang met him and Luo Ke and drove them to the Trainer Association.
• Xiang Enkun welcomed Fang Yuan and instructed Sun Qianxiang to protect him while he evolved his Magneton.
• Fang Yuan chose the Silver Stone Zone, whose intense Thunder Waves could strengthen Magneton's potential but risked Electromagnetic Imbalance.
• After arranging Fang Yuan's dormitory, Sun Qianxiang asked Xiang Enkun about Luo Ke, and he explained that Fang Yuan was a well-known researcher personally recommended by the Fairy Type Elite Four.
• Xiang Enkun revealed that his Natu had struggled to see through Luo Ke's illusion, suggesting Luo Ke was as powerful as a Psychic-type Master's ace.

Fang Yuan and Sun Qianxiang traveled to the Silver Stone Zone, where Espeon encountered a mysterious fairy-like Pokémon at a lake. They reached the magnetic field region and found many Trainers and Pokémon waiting for the Special Thunder Wave.

• Fang Yuan and Sun Qianxiang took a helicopter as far as the magnetic field allowed, then continued on foot with Luo Ke and Espeon.
• Luo Ke's illusion kept them from encountering other Trainers or Wild Pokémon during their two-hour walk.
• At a lake, Espeon saw a tiny fairy-like phantom that resembled it and heard it invite Espeon to play hide-and-seek, but the others could not see the Pokémon.
• Espeon followed Fang Yuan onward after promising the mysterious Pokémon that they would play next time.
• Fang Yuan and Sun Qianxiang reached the Silver Stone Zone, where more than ten Trainers and groups of Nosepass and Magneton were waiting for the Special Thunder Wave.

Fang Yuan and Sun Qianxiang reached the Silver Mountain Zone to evolve Magneton with the coming Special Thunder Wave, where two Trainers from Seoul tried to make them wait. Fang Yuan refused, and as the wave arrived, the Wild Pokémon surged toward the zone’s core.

• Fang Yuan’s group arrived in the Special Magnetic Field Zone, and two Trainers from Seoul asked Sun Qianxiang whether they planned to catch or evolve Pokémon.
• Sun Qianxiang said they had come to evolve, and Fang Yuan refused the Seoul Trainers’ request to take their turn first.
• The two Trainers left after arguing with Fang Yuan, while Sun Qianxiang joked about provoking them so she could knock them out and claim compensation.
• Fang Yuan released Magneton to get used to the environment as the Wild Nosepass and Magneton moved toward the zone’s core.
• The Special Thunder Wave arrived, and the Wild Pokémon surged forward with Electromagnetic Power crackling around them.

Fang Yuan's Magneton absorbed the Special Thunder Wave in the Silver Stone Zone, drove off the competing Pokémon, and evolved into Magnezone. Its new power left the watching Trainers stunned and established it as one of Fang Yuan's strongest Pokémon.

• Wild Pokémon and Trainers' Pokémon rushed toward the core of the Silver Stone Zone as the Special Thunder Wave began to form.
• A Seoul Trainer's Magneton used Magnet Pull to seize the central area and repel the Wild Pokémon, while Fang Yuan's Magneton studied the growing magnetic field.
• Fang Yuan's Magneton created an expanding Electromagnetic Storm that swept aside the Nosepass and blasted away the Seoul Trainer's Magneton.
• Magneton absorbed the Special Thunder Wave until Evolution Light enveloped it, and it evolved into Magnezone.
• Magnezone controlled a torrent of iron sand with its Electromagnetic Power, frightening away the Wild Pokémon and astonishing the watching Trainers.

After Magneton evolved into Magnezone, Fang Yuan and his companions prepared to leave the Silver Stone Zone. Foreign Trainers tried to arrange battles and Pokémon exchanges for Magnezone, but Fang Yuan refused and left with Sun Qianxiang, who warned him to stay cautious.

• Magnezone showed off its new voice after evolving, while Eevee plotted to use illusions to look like it was training while slacking off.
• Sun Qianxiang told Fang Yuan that their purpose in the Silver Stone Zone was complete and that they should leave.
• Nearby Trainers rushed over to ask Fang Yuan to battle or exchange Pokémon, but Fang Yuan refused and recalled Magnezone.
• Fang Yuan and Sun Qianxiang left, and Sun Qianxiang warned him that Pokémon Hunters might be offered a reward for his Pokémon.
• On the way back, the group passed the lake again, but Espeon sensed no mysterious Pokémon there.

Fang Yuan watched Eevee test its new illusion abilities and discovered that Eevee had unknowingly encountered the Legendary Pokémon Emrit. The next day, Xiang Enkun learned that Trainers from other countries had seen Emrit, while no Chinese Trainer had, leaving the China Trainer Association without a lead.

• Magnezone evolved, gained strength, and learned Barrier, while Eevee continued developing its illusion abilities under Luo Ke.
• Eevee used Mirage Beam to show Fang Yuan an illusion of a marketplace, then later revealed an image of Emrit at the lake where they had rested.
• Fang Yuan realized Eevee had encountered Emrit, the Legendary Pokémon known as the God of Emotion, and regretted not learning about it sooner.
• Xiang Enkun received intelligence that Trainers from at least two countries had seen Emrit at lakes in Power Supply Mountain and that their associations were searching for it.
• Xiang Enkun worried that no Chinese Trainers had seen Emrit, leaving the China Trainer Association with no leads.

Fang Yuan revealed that he had encountered Emrit, which had invited him to play hide-and-seek, and agreed to remain at Power Supply Mountain to help find it. The Association planned to keep his connection to Emrit secret, but Sun Qianxiang received news that his Magnezone had been targeted by a bounty.

• Sun Qianxiang urged Fang Yuan to leave Power Supply Mountain because the Association was focused on searching for Emrit.
• Fang Yuan revealed to Vice President Xiang Enkun and Chairman Xiang that Eevee had seen Emrit at a lake and that it had invited him to play hide-and-seek.
• Fang Yuan agreed to stay at Power Supply Mountain and help search for Emrit, while Chairman Xiang decided to keep his involvement secret and arrange more protection.
• Sun Qianxiang showed Fang Yuan and Chairman Xiang a new report that Fang Yuan's Magnezone had been put under a bounty and Pokémon Hunters might be after him.
