Chapter Summaries

Fang Yuan investigated strange Water-type Pokémon approaching Binhai City and found that an unknown force seemed to be affecting their minds. On the fourth day of his training, a B-Class Disaster Warning announced a Pokémon siege near the Dragon Tower of the Azure Dragon Dojo.

• Fang Yuan sensed something abnormal about a school of Tentacool and fled ashore with Milotic as they attacked.
• Fang Yuan's team subdued the Tentacool and Tentacruel, but Eevee's hypnosis and Milotic's charm yielded no answers, and Fang Yuan could not sense their emotions.
• Fang Yuan released the Pokémon and spent the following days investigating other Water-types that also resisted his Psychic Power.
• Fang Yuan dismissed the danger as the authorities investigated and continued training Milotic along the coast.
• On the fourth day, an orange B-Class Disaster Warning sounded as dozens of Gyarados and over a hundred other Water-type Pokémon gathered to create enormous waves near the Dragon Tower.

Fang Yuan joined Binhai City’s response to a mass Pokémon assault and watched Master Ni Feng’s weather tactics freeze a giant wave before it reached the shore. As the immediate threat was stopped, Fang Yuan wondered whether his varied team could make him a Fire-Type Elite Four.

• The Trainer Association warned Binhai City that nearly a hundred Gyarados and other Pokémon were gathering offshore and raising enormous waves.
• Fang Yuan asked to join the front line, but the organizer assigned him to the rear until Yun Miao told him to act with Yun Guancheng.

• Fang Yuan admired the weather tactics and wondered whether his mixed Pokémon team could make him a Fire-Type Elite Four.

After a massive Water-type Pokémon Siege, Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng learned that an unknown Pokémon might be behind the attacks, and Fang Yuan suspected it was Manaphy. Yun Guancheng was sent to the Dragon Den to investigate as a mist-shrouded island approached Binhai City.

• Fang Yuan watched the trainers defeat nearly a thousand Water-type Pokémon, and Milotic asked to learn Hail and Ice-type moves instead of Rain Dance and Water-type moves.

• Master Yun Miao sent Yun Guancheng to the Dragon Den with the photograph to seek information from its elder and the Pokémon of Dragon Island.
• A mist-shrouded island moved toward Binhai City as a Dragonite Messenger flew from the Dragon Den carrying a map.

• Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng agreed to search the Dragon Den together for the elder and powerful Dragon-type Pokémon.
• Fang Yuan summoned Espeon and Gluttony Ghost, and Espeon brought out the Rotom Phone to observe the island’s Pokémon.

• The Dragonite Elder took Yun Guancheng’s photo and left Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng with Dragonite to take their tests.
