Chapter Summaries

After learning that a bounty had been placed on him, Fang Yuan stayed at Power Supply Mountain to search for Emrit while China investigated the hunters. He asked Sun Qianxiang about the Hunter Network and considered joining under a false identity, but she told him to leave it to the professionals.

• Chairman Xiang assured Fang Yuan that China would investigate the bounty, though hunters might still target his Magnezone now that its information had been exposed.
• Fang Yuan decided to remain at Power Supply Mountain and search for Emrit with help from Eevee and Luo Ke.
• Fang Yuan planned to use Eevee's Emotional Energy and Future Sight to draw Emrit out of its hide-and-seek game.
• Sun Qianxiang explained that the Hunter Network connected many hunter organizations and revealed that she had registered as a Pokémon Hunter to access its shallow forum.
• Fang Yuan asked to register an account, but Sun Qianxiang refused, so he kept his imagined aliases James, Jessie, and Meow and the name Team Rocket Trio to himself.

Fang Yuan asked Sun Qianxiang to make the search for Emrit more useful by adding battles and wilderness training. After Sun Qianxiang agreed, Fang Yuan encountered a huge flock of Spearow and prepared to fight them.

• Fang Yuan decided he would not spend more than a few months searching for Emrit without results and asked Sun Qianxiang to make the journey more productive.
• Sun Qianxiang agreed to let Fang Yuan battle Wild Pokémon and learn wilderness skills, while keeping the search for Emrit the priority.
• The group continued traveling through Power Supply Mountain and came upon a giant tree filled with Spearow.
• Fang Yuan refused Luo Ke's offer to handle the Spearow and ordered Magnezone to prepare for battle as the flock gathered before them.

Fang Yuan’s Magnezone drove off a Spearow flock but struggled to cover every enemy at once, so Sun Qianxiang proposed teaching it Rain Dance to strengthen its Thunder. The other Professional Trainers began offering lessons for Fang Yuan’s team, and a bearded Trainer demonstrated his Ledian’s unusual Iron Fist Ability.

• Fang Yuan sent Magnezone to repel more than a hundred Spearow with repeated electric attacks.
• Fang Yuan recognized that Magnezone needed better area attacks, and Sun Qianxiang suggested it learn Rain Dance from her Blastoise.
• Fang Yuan realized that rain would let Magnezone’s Thunder cover a much wider battlefield and planned to develop its weather-based abilities.
• A bearded Professional Trainer asked whether Monferno had Iron Fist and showed Fang Yuan his Ledian’s hardened, steel-colored fists.

Fang Yuan spent more than a month exploring Power Supply Mountain, learning Ability training, wilderness survival, and poison techniques from five Professional Trainers while searching for Emrit. Frustrated that nobody had found it, Emrit used Spatial Teleportation to bring the marked people closer, while a passing Magikarp watched it.

• Wang Tie explained how Monferno could develop its Iron Fist Ability into Hardened Iron Fist by increasing the hardness of its fists.
• Luo Ke, Sun Qianxiang, Wang Tie, the twin Trainers, and Sister Poison taught Fang Yuan and his Pokémon techniques as the group continued through Power Supply Mountain.
• Sister Poison gave Fang Yuan's Gastly a colorless, odorless Toxic poison that could cause mental disorientation.
• Fang Yuan spent over a month battling and training on Power Supply Mountain, but he and the others still could not find Emrit.
• Emrit realized the five people and Pokémon it had marked were far away, so it used Spatial Teleportation to transport them closer.
• A passing Magikarp saw Emrit using its ability and watched with a strange light in its eyes.

Emrit used its Spatial Teleportation ability to summon Trainers from around Power Supply Mountain for a hide-and-seek game, and Espeon resisted long enough to bring Fang Yuan and his companions along. They arrived deep in the mountain, where a gigantic Onix appeared but left without attacking.

• Suzuki Yuko and several other women were suddenly teleported away, alarming their bodyguards and companions.
• Espeon resisted the force of Emrit's teleportation and sensed a voice calling to it.
• Espeon warned Fang Yuan and the others to get in the car, then teleported them away with Confusion.
• Fang Yuan and his companions appeared in a valley near Power Supply Mountain's highest peak and guessed Emrit was nearby.
• A gigantic Onix rose from the ground, stared at the group, and left without attacking.

Fang Yuan continued searching Power Supply Mountain for Emrit and encountered Natalie, an Israeli Professional Trainer who had also been teleported there. After Fang Yuan gave her the name James, Natalie took him seriously.

• Fang Yuan chose to keep searching for Emrit and headed toward a large lake with his Pokémon.
• Natalie, separated from half her team, prepared traps after Honchkrow spotted Magnezone and suggested another Trainer was nearby.
• Fang Yuan approached Natalie under Luo Ke's illusion, and Natalie drew her gun at the apparent figure.
• Natalie asked Fang Yuan who he was, and he introduced himself as James.

Fang Yuan broke off his tense standoff with Natalie to rescue Suzuki Yuko from an Aerodactyl, then recognized her as the daughter of the Suzuki Conglomerate chairman. The battle continued with help from a Honchkrow that Fang Yuan recognized as Natalie's Pokémon.

• Fang Yuan and Natalie paused their standoff when a distant battle sent a wounded Pidgeot and its Trainer fleeing toward them, pursued by an Aerodactyl.
• Fang Yuan rode Magnezone into the fight and used Smack Down to knock Aerodactyl from the sky, giving Suzuki Yuko and Pidgeot a chance to land.
• Suzuki Yuko thanked Fang Yuan and introduced herself as the daughter of the Suzuki Conglomerate chairman, which Fang Yuan connected to the Ability Capsule.
• Aerodactyl resumed fighting Magnezone, and a Honchkrow joined the battle; Fang Yuan recognized it as Natalie's Pokémon.

Fang Yuan and Natalie rescued Suzuki Yuko from Aerodactyl and agreed to protect her while seeking a way out. The group reached a vast lake and suspected Emrit was hiding on the island at its center.

• Natalie helped Magnezone and Honchkrow drive off Aerodactyl, which had attacked after Suzuki Yuko provoked it.
• Fang Yuan questioned Suzuki Yuko, and she admitted that she had been teleported there after encountering Emrit.
• Suzuki Yuko revealed she was the Suzuki Conglomerate heiress, and Natalie recognized the company behind the Ability Capsule.
• Fang Yuan and Natalie agreed to protect Suzuki Yuko and escort her to safety, while Fang Yuan hoped she might reward him with an Ability Capsule.
• Fang Yuan, Natalie, and Suzuki Yuko reached a large lake before nightfall and spotted an island at its center.
• Two other female Trainers who had been teleported nearby arrived, and the group concluded that Emrit was likely on the island.

Fang Yuan, Natalie, and Suzuki Yuko crossed to Lake Heart Island to search for Emrit, but found no trace of it. The next morning, two more Trainers approached the island, and the group prepared to meet them.

• Suzuki Yuko urged the group to wait until morning before crossing the lake, but Natalie decided to take her across that night while Fang Yuan traveled separately.
• Fang Yuan used Magnezone to lift a makeshift steel flying device and headed to Lake Heart Island ahead of Natalie and Suzuki Yuko.
• The group reached the island after dark and searched for Emrit, but found no sign of it.
• The next morning, a Trainer on a Fearow and a female Trainer on a Dewgong approached the island, and the group prepared to make contact.

Fang Yuan and four women who had been teleported by Emrit gathered at Lake Heart Island and discussed how to get home. As they searched the lake for Emrit, Magnezone sensed a strange spatial fluctuation nearby.

• Fang Yuan's group stopped Chen Meilin and Kim Yoon-mi, who explained that Emrit had suddenly teleported them there.
• Natalie led the five in discussing how to survive and find a way back, then proposed searching the nearby lake for Emrit.
• Fang Yuan recalled that Emrit lived in a Different Dimension and doubted they could find it without Pokémon that could use spatial abilities.
• Emrit noticed the group searching nearby and altered the surrounding space to help them sense its Different Dimension.
• Magnezone sensed a special fluctuation similar to a Space Magnetic Field nearby.

Fang Yuan realized that the spatial changes on Lake Heart Island could help Pokémon learn spatial moves and focused on training his team instead of searching for Emrit. Magnezone mastered Teleport, while Espeon began to sense the technique and Gluttony Ghost remained distracted by hunger.

• Magnezone sensed changes in space and told Fang Yuan that it might be able to learn Teleport there.
• Fang Yuan urged Espeon and Gluttony Ghost to sense the spatial changes, believing they were caused by Emrit hiding in a Different Dimension.
• Magnezone trained for an hour and used Teleport to appear more than ten meters away.
• Espeon began to grasp the sensation of spatial movement, while Gluttony Ghost grew hungrier as it trained.
• Fang Yuan praised Magnezone and claimed his theory about Space Magnetic Fields was correct, leaving Magnezone exasperated.

Fang Yuan and his Pokémon trained their spatial abilities on Lake Heart Island while searching for Emrit, who kept escaping into different dimensions. Espeon helped Magnezone find Emrit, and Emrit offered Magnezone one small wish as the winner.

• Magnezone learned Teleport, but found it much harder to use outside Lake Heart Island, where spatial conditions were different.
• Fang Yuan discovered that Suzuki Yuko's Clefairy and Chen Meilin's Curse Doll had sensed the spatial changes, though Magnezone remained ahead in learning spatial moves.
• Emrit repeatedly moved between different dimensions to evade Magnezone, which eventually mastered Teleport and learned Wonder Room but still could not find it.
• Fang Yuan realized Emrit could move while hiding, then devised a plan with Espeon to expose its location.
• Espeon used an incomplete Future Sight to send a sphere of Confusion into Emrit's dimension, allowing Magnezone to locate and pull Emrit out with Wonder Room.
• Emrit accepted defeat and offered Magnezone one small wish.

Emrit offered Magnezone a wish, but rejected its requests for extra wishes, the power to fly out of Earth, and Shiny Metagross’s looks. Magnezone wished for Fang Yuan to experience Pokémon emotions, and Emrit began granting it by changing Fang Yuan’s Psychic Power.

• Emrit insisted that Magnezone alone make the wish, while Fang Yuan and Espeon tried to influence its choice.
• Magnezone asked for more wishes, then for the ability to fly out of Earth and to look like Shiny Metagross; Emrit rejected each request.
• Fang Yuan urged Magnezone to choose a wish connected to emotions, prompting Magnezone to recall how Fang Yuan had treated it.
• Magnezone wished for Fang Yuan to experience Pokémon emotions, especially the pain of being made to do cleaning duty.
• Emrit accepted the wish and sent a peculiar wave around Fang Yuan, altering his Psychic Power.

Fang Yuan discovered that Emrit’s gift let him sense Pokémon’s emotions, giving him a valuable advantage as a Trainer and researcher. Emrit gathered the other Trainers and Pokémon, ended the hide-and-seek game, and proposed an Emotion Exchange Game before sending them away.

• Fang Yuan sensed that his new Psychic Power let him perceive Pokémon’s emotions and feel their moods himself.
• Fang Yuan realized that sensing emotions could help him build bonds for Mega Evolution and advance his research.
• Emrit brought Natalie, Suzuki Yuko, Chen Meilin, and Kim Yoon-mi and their Pokémon to Lake Heart Island.
• Emrit announced the end of hide-and-seek and asked everyone to play a second game, promising to send them away afterward.
• Emrit explained that the Emotion Exchange Game involved removing a living being’s emotions and giving it new ones.

Emrit made the Trainers and their Pokémon play its Emotion Exchange Game, swapping and bestowing emotions in ways that changed their moods and personalities. The game also helped Pokémon develop their Emotional Energy, so the Trainers continued playing as Lake Heart Island descended into chaos.

• Emrit swapped Clefairy's bashfulness with Curse Doll's resentment, making Clefairy lash out at Roserade and Curse Doll act shy until the effects wore off.
• Clefairy used Payback after experiencing resentment, surprising Suzuki Yuko by learning a new move.
• Fang Yuan realized the game could strengthen Pokémon through Emotional Energy and decided it was worth continuing.
• Emrit copied and amplified some of Fang Yuan's emotions before giving them to Natalie's Honchkrow, which began showing off its appearance and physique.

During Emrit’s Emotion Exchange Game, Fang Yuan’s Pokémon developed new ways to use Emotional Energy, and Monferno discovered that rage could intensify its flames. The group’s game ended with Emrit preparing to send the Trainers and their Pokémon away.

• Emrit continued the Emotion Exchange Game across Lake Heart Island, where Magnezone developed Thunder Shock that could improve a creature’s mental state.
• Gluttony Ghost discovered how to manipulate fear energy, creating frightening phantoms and using its terrifying presence to intimidate opponents.
• Emrit empowered Monferno with Anger Energy, and after battling Pokémon and Emrit, Monferno began gaining control over some of its anger.
• Fang Yuan imagined Monferno mastering Rage Fire and using it to strengthen its Fire-type abilities, while Monferno vowed to master its anger.
• After a day of games, Emrit gathered the five Trainers and their Pokémon and prepared to send them away as promised.

Fang Yuan and the others returned to Power Supply Mountain’s outskirts after meeting Emrit, but a South Korean search team tried to detain them for information about the Legendary Pokémon. The chapter ended as the team launched an attack on Fang Yuan and his companions.

• Emrit transported Fang Yuan’s group of five back to Power Supply Mountain’s outskirts, where their Positioning Devices began working again.
• A South Korean Trainer Team found the group and reunited Kim Yoon-mi with her bodyguard.
• Natalie and Fang Yuan prepared to leave, but Professional Trainer Zheng Binghe ordered the group to recall their Pokémon and submit to a review.
• Zheng Binghe and his companions summoned their Pokémon when Fang Yuan and the others refused to cooperate.
• After ten seconds, the South Korean Trainers’ Pokémon attacked the group.

Fang Yuan defeated the Korean Trainers’ search team when they tried to force him into a review, and China’s Trainer Team arrived to take the group into custody. Later, Fang Yuan met Hai, the powerful Psychic Master he had once encountered in Jinling.

• Zheng Binghe targeted Fang Yuan and Natalie for review, and his Drowzee attacked Fang Yuan with Confusion.
• Fang Yuan’s Espeon and Gluttony Ghost defeated Zheng Binghe’s Drowzee and Houndoom, while Luo Ke used Psychic Power to incapacitate the Trainers and their Pokémon.
• Fang Yuan told Natalie, Chen Meilin, and Suzuki Yuko that the attackers might be Pokémon Hunters, and Sun Qianxiang arrived with China’s Trainer Team and ordered them taken into custody.
• Half a day later, Fang Yuan met Hai, the mysterious old man who had once lost him a Secret Manual for Swagger in Jinling.

Fang Yuan met Three-Star Professional Trainer Kong Hai and explained how Emrit had granted him Psychic Power. Kong Hai left without taking Fang Yuan as a disciple, while the China Trainer Association prepared to search for Emrit.

• Fang Yuan learned that the scruffy old man he had met was Kong Hai, one of the Twelve Earthly Branches and a renowned psychic.
• Kong Hai recalled Fang Yuan’s growing list of major accomplishments, including his role in the Chen Shengcong Incident and the Sun and Moon Forest incident.
• Fang Yuan recounted his encounter with Emrit, and Kong Hai focused on whether Legendary Pokémon could awaken Psychic Power in other humans.
• Fang Yuan expected Kong Hai to ask him to become a disciple, but Kong Hai judged his Psychic Power potential insufficient and left without making the offer.
• Fang Yuan anticipated that Trainers from many countries would search for Emrit and concluded that trying to control the Legendary Pokémon would not earn its genuine friendship.

After the Power Supply Mountain incident, Fang Yuan learned who had placed the bounty on Magnezone and returned to China, where he spent two peaceful months studying Psychic Power and publishing research papers. The semester neared its end as a trainer version of military training gave him a reason to pause his research.

• Sun Qianxiang told Fang Yuan that a Korean trainer involved in the Silver Stone Zone magnetic field incident had placed the bounty on Magnezone, and Fang Yuan discussed seeking compensation.
• Fang Yuan invited Sun Qianxiang to join his future Research Team as a bodyguard, but she said they could discuss it after he became a Senior Researcher.
• The Power Supply Mountain China Trainer Association gave Fang Yuan a valuable magnet before he returned to China, and he reviewed the Pokémon training gains from his trip.
• Fang Yuan returned to Magic University in secret and spent two peaceful months training and studying his new Psychic Power.
• Fang Yuan published five papers, impressing the professors in Magic University's Research Department with his research on emotion and Pokémon.
• As the second semester of Fang Yuan's freshman year neared its end, a trainer version of military training interrupted his research.
