Chapter Summaries

Fang Yuan tested his Aura sealing technique by trapping a Duskull inside a wooden rice cooker, then waited with Darkrai and Gengar for Spiritomb to break free from the Soul Tower. The tower collapsed, and the glowing stones left Spiritomb’s emergence imminent.

• Fang Yuan had Eevee carve a fallen tree into a rice cooker and used his Aura to turn it into a Sealed Object.
• Fang Yuan sealed Duskull inside the wooden rice cooker, while Ye Hui and Jiang Liu watched in astonishment.
• Fang Yuan explained that the seal was temporary and that sealing physical Pokémon required much rarer materials.
• As the time for Spiritomb to break free approached, evil thoughts knocked a stone loose from the Soul Tower.
• Fang Yuan brought out Darkrai and Gengar, while Ye Hui and Jiang Liu stood aside as agreed.
• The Soul Tower collapsed, and its stones began to glow white.

Spiritomb revived in the Spirit World and attacked Fang Yuan’s group, but Darkrai overwhelmed it, especially after Fang Yuan empowered Darkrai with Aura Power. Spiritomb escaped through a tear in space, and Fang Yuan set off after it with Dragonite and Gengar.

• Dark clouds and freezing winds spread over the sealed Spirit Realm Passage as trainers realized something had happened in the Spirit World.
• Spiritomb emerged from the collapsed Soul Tower and attacked Fang Yuan’s group with a powerful Shadow Ball.
• Darkrai stopped Spiritomb’s attacks and countered its Dark Pulse, then used Fang Yuan’s Aura Power to overpower it.
• Spiritomb escaped Darkrai’s finishing attack by using a Substitute and tearing open space in the Spirit World.
• Fang Yuan released Dragonite and had Gengar open the Spirit Realm Passage so they could pursue Spiritomb, while Darkrai prepared to fight at full strength.

Fang Yuan emerged from the Spirit World with Darkrai and swiftly defeated the escaped Spiritomb using Dark Void. The trainers watched in shock as Fang Yuan returned with Spiritomb unconscious, leaving Ye Hui and Jiang Liu to handle resealing it.

• The trainers saw Spiritomb emerge from a Spirit Realm Passage and watched it paralyze their Pokémon with its Grudge-filled aura.
• A second passage appeared, and Spiritomb fled when Fang Yuan arrived riding Dragonite with Darkrai beside him.
• Fang Yuan ordered Darkrai to use Dark Void, and its Nightmare Domain engulfed Spiritomb and put it to sleep.
• Fang Yuan returned carrying the unconscious Spiritomb while Ye Hui and Jiang Liu reacted with bitter smiles.
• Ye Hui told the trainers that Spiritomb had been dealt with and dismissed them as Fang Yuan and the others returned to the Spirit World.

After Darkrai defeated Spiritomb, Fang Yuan learned that Spiritomb’s evil nature made it too dangerous to befriend, though he had other plans for it. He then suggested Ye Hui and Jiang Liu might challenge Spiritomb with Mega Evolution, leaving them wondering whether Fang Yuan would teach them the technique.

• Fang Yuan asked Darkrai whether Spiritomb could coexist peacefully with humans, and Darkrai said its instinct for evil would be difficult to change.
• Fang Yuan decided not to catch Spiritomb, though he delayed sealing it because he hoped the battle might help hatch his Mysterious Pokémon Egg.
• Ye Hui and Jiang Liu asked whether they should rebuild the collapsed Soul Tower, while Fang Yuan wondered if they would challenge Spiritomb.
• Fang Yuan described Mega Evolution’s power and suggested Ye Hui and Jiang Liu could use it to contend with Spiritomb.
• Ye Hui and Jiang Liu wondered whether Fang Yuan intended to teach them Mega Evolution.

Fang Yuan sealed Spiritomb, then taught Ye Hui and Jiang Liu how Mega Evolution worked and helped them prepare to try it. As news spread that Fang Yuan had defeated Spiritomb alone, Ye Hui and Jiang Liu delivered dramatic Mega Evolution lines, but the chapter ended before either Pokémon Mega Evolved.

• Fang Yuan and Rotom rebuilt the Soul Tower and sealed Spiritomb inside, while Ye Hui and Jiang Liu agreed to stay and learn about Mega Evolution.
• Fang Yuan emerged from the Spirit World with Ye Hui and Jiang Liu, and the gathered trainers recognized him as the trainer who had commanded Darkrai.

• The Trainer Association received Jiang Liu's report that Fang Yuan had defeated and sealed the Guardian God Level Spiritomb alone, shocking officials and trainers across China.
• Fang Yuan asked Ye Hui and Jiang Liu to devise Mega Evolution lines; Ye Hui shouted his line with Pinsir, and Jiang Liu followed with an intense line for Curse Doll.

President Wen offered Fang Yuan the vacant Dog position among the Twelve Earthly Branches, tasking him with leading China’s Third Trainer Tide. Fang Yuan accepted, and the chapter ended with him inviting President Wen to observe the next stage of Mega Evolution research.

• After lunch, Fang Yuan received a video call from President Wen, who had learned of Fang Yuan’s connection to Darkrai and his research achievements.
• President Wen offered Fang Yuan the vacant Dog position among the Twelve Earthly Branches, with responsibility for advancing the Third Trainer Tide.
• Fang Yuan considered the position’s responsibilities and accepted, with his appointment set for September 1.
• President Wen asked about Mega Evolution research, and Fang Yuan invited him to watch a demonstration and send him information about the candidates.
• President Wen asked whether other people could watch too, while Ye Hui and Jiang Liu shivered as Fang Yuan spoke with him.

Fang Yuan arranged a livestream so President Wen and leading Trainers could observe Ye Hui and Jiang Liu’s first Mega Evolution experience. The powerful audience also used the broadcast to assess Fang Yuan, as Ye Hui and Jiang Liu prepared to begin under intense scrutiny.

• Fang Yuan told Ye Hui and Jiang Liu that President Wen and other Association figures would observe their Mega Evolution experience through a livestream, and they agreed.
• Rotom opened the livestream, which drew President Wen, five of the Twelve Earthly Branches, Ma Chenzong, Kong Hai, and reserve member Fu Hei.
• Ye Hui and Jiang Liu recognized the prominent viewers and became anxious about making a mistake during their Mega Evolution.
• Fang Yuan wondered why he had been named Dog of the Twelve Earthly Branches while Fu Hei was a candidate for Tiger.
• Jiang Kui and Xu Yifeng discussed whether Mega Evolution could noticeably strengthen Ye Hui and Jiang Liu, while the other viewers watched for the demonstration to begin.

Heavenly King Ye Hui successfully Mega Evolved his Pinsir during Fang Yuan’s livestream, revealing its new Flying type and Flying Skin Ability. After Mega Pinsir’s Giga Impact unleashed Guardian God-level destructive power, Fang Yuan judged that it could become a powerful Bug-type Guardian God with further training.

• Fang Yuan announced that other Trainers could now master Mega Evolution, and Ye Hui and Jiang Liu demonstrated the new progress for the livestream audience.
• Ye Hui and Pinsir Mega Evolved successfully, and Mega Pinsir revealed wings, a wind-blade domain, and the ability to fly.
• Fang Yuan explained that Mega Pinsir had likely gained the Flying type and Flying Skin Ability, which converted Normal-type moves into stronger Flying-type moves.
• At Fang Yuan’s request, Ye Hui ordered Mega Pinsir to use Giga Impact from the air and stop before hitting the ground.
• Mega Pinsir’s wind pressure and attack aftershock carved a huge crater, leaving Ye Hui and the Twelve Earthly Branches stunned.
• Fang Yuan estimated that Mega Pinsir’s power had briefly reached the Quasi-Guardian God level and said training could make it a powerful Bug-type Guardian God.

Ye Hui demonstrated Mega Pinsir's strength after Mega Evolution, impressing the livestream audience. Madam Jiang Liu then began Mega Evolving Curse Doll after Fang Yuan warned her about the dangers of its released resentment.

• Ye Hui tested Mega Pinsir's Flying Skin and other abilities, and the onlookers judged it capable of briefly challenging a Guardian God.
• Pinsir maintained Mega Evolution for about three minutes before reverting, and Ye Hui celebrated its performance.
• President Wen asked Madam Jiang Liu to demonstrate Mega Evolution, and Ye Hui handed her the Key Stone.
• Fang Yuan warned Jiang Liu that Mega Curse Doll's resentment could overwhelm it and affect her, but assured her he would prevent any accident.
• Jiang Liu overcame her hesitation, shouted an appeal to control Curse Doll's hatred, and began its Mega Evolution as the livestream audience reacted.

Jiang Liu’s Curse Doll Mega Evolved, demonstrated power greater than Mega Pinsir, and tore open a huge, unstable Spirit Realm Rift with its attack before reverting from exhaustion. Jiang Kui realized Fang Yuan wanted the Spirit Realm technique and offered to send him its Move Manual.

• Curse Doll Mega Evolved and used its resentment to seal Pinsir’s moves, though it remained friendly toward Jiang Liu.
• Fang Yuan said Mega Curse Doll had greater power potential than Mega Pinsir and asked it to demonstrate its strength.
• Curse Doll’s Shadow Claw carved a massive trench and tore open an unstable Spirit Realm Rift.
• Jiang Liu recognized the attack as a technique for disrupting Spirit Realm passages, and Curse Doll reverted after the exhausting move.
• Fang Yuan and Jiang Liu debated whether Mega Evolution or the Spirit Realm technique deserved more credit, and Jiang Kui realized Fang Yuan wanted the Move Manual and offered to send it.

After Fang Yuan received the Spirit Realm Lineage’s Space Ripping Technique manual, Madam Jiang Liu explained how the move worked and brought Dusknoir to demonstrate. Fang Yuan and Gengar learned its requirements and underlying principles, leaving them ready to try mastering it.

• Ye Hui and Jiang Liu tested their newly Mega Evolved Pokémon against each other, and Mega Pinsir and Mega Curse Doll defeated their opponents.
• Madam Jiang Liu visited Fang Yuan to thank him for helping with Mega Evolution research and gave him the Space Ripping Technique manual for his Gengar.
• Fang Yuan eagerly asked Jiang Liu to demonstrate the technique immediately, and they went with Dusknoir and Gluttony Ghost to a place where space was stable.
• Jiang Liu explained that the technique required Phantom Force and Thunder Wave, along with the ability to imitate Spirit Realm Radio Waves and create a chaotic Space Magnetic Field.
• Fang Yuan and Gengar listened closely to Jiang Liu’s explanation and considered how to apply the technique.

Fang Yuan watched Madam Jiang Liu’s Dusknoir demonstrate how to create a destructive space rift, then guided Gluttony Ghost through the technique. Gluttony Ghost mastered it within minutes, and Fang Yuan prepared to test what it could do after Mega Evolution.

• Madam Jiang Liu’s Dusknoir demonstrated how it resonated with Spirit Realm Radio Waves and tore open a rift that shredded nearby objects.
• Fang Yuan asked whether the rift could be controlled and thrown like Subspace Rend, but Madam Jiang Liu said that kind of control belonged to gods.
• Fang Yuan used Attribute Roulette to make Gluttony Ghost Ghost- and Electric-type, and Gluttony Ghost simulated Spirit Realm Radio Waves on its first attempt.
• Fang Yuan guided Gluttony Ghost into Phantom Force and through forming a Space Magnetic Field, after which it opened a rift that pulverized a rock.
• Madam Jiang Liu and Dusknoir were stunned by Gluttony Ghost’s rapid success, while Fang Yuan proposed Mega Evolving it and testing its space power as a Ghost- and Dragon-type.

Fang Yuan and Mega Gengar combined Shadow Tag with the Space Ripping Technique to create the powerful Subspace Cut. After returning from training, Fang Yuan planned to use the two masters’ Pokémon as sparring partners to help hatch the Mysterious Pokémon Egg.

• Fang Yuan had Gluttony Ghost Mega Evolve and demonstrated its ability to remain partly in the Parallel Timeline.
• Fang Yuan told Mega Gengar to use Shadow Tag to immobilize a wide area before tearing open space and shredding everything caught in the shadows.
• Fang Yuan named the combined move Subspace Cut and concluded that it could threaten powerful Pokémon but was unlikely to reach Palkia’s level of spatial power.
• Jiang Liu agreed to return with Fang Yuan, planning to tell Jiang Kui how quickly Fang Yuan had mastered the technique.
• Fang Yuan returned home to find Eevee playing on its phone, then decided to use the two masters’ main Pokémon as sparring partners to make the Mysterious Pokémon Egg hatch.

Fang Yuan spent half a month in Shanming County teaching Ye Hui and Jiang Liu Mega Evolution and using their Pokémon as training partners, greatly strengthening his team. He left to take his disciple He Xiaomai to find a Beginner Pokémon and help Milotic and Dragonite break through.

• Ye Hui and Jiang Liu mastered Mega Evolution, while their Mega Pinsir and Mega Curse Doll reached Quasi-Guardian God Level.
• Fang Yuan repeatedly sealed Spiritomb in various containers to practice the Aura Sealing Technique, but gave up on reforming it.
• Fang Yuan used Ye Hui and Jiang Liu’s Pokémon as sparring partners to train his team and gain experience for the Mysterious Pokémon Egg.
• Infernape transformed Rage Fire into Willpower Flame and reached Top Level Third Stage strength while using Three Gates, while Gluttony Ghost improved its use of Subspace Cut.
• Fang Yuan said farewell to Ye Hui and Jiang Liu and left to take He Xiaomai to find a Beginner Pokémon, planning to help Milotic and Dragonite break through as well.

Fang Yuan met He Xiaomai on the beach before taking her to the Sea God Temple to find an Aura-compatible Beginner Pokémon. He praised her progress and outlined the difficult milestones she would need to reach if she hoped to compete in the next World Championship.

• He Xiaomai arrived with Golduck and watched Fang Yuan catch and subdue a Gyarados with a fishing rod that transformed into a Thunder Gun.
• Fang Yuan praised He Xiaomai for completing a year of lessons through Rotom and noted that Golduck had grown close to Veteran-level strength.
• Fang Yuan told He Xiaomai he would help her find a Beginner Pokémon whose Aura matched hers while they waited for the Sea Prince.
• He Xiaomai told Fang Yuan she dreamed of entering the World Championship at age twenty, even as a substitute.
• Fang Yuan said He Xiaomai would need to become Qin Province Rookie King, sweep Didu University's team, and gain the strength to crush masters before the next World Championship.

Fang Yuan visited Manaphy with He Xiaomai to find a suitable Water-type Pokémon for her, but he instead questioned Manaphy about the coming disaster and the missing Legendary Pokémon. Manaphy knew little about the threat, but offered Fang Yuan anything in its temple to help him prepare.

• Manaphy welcomed Fang Yuan and He Xiaomai, eager to hear about Fang Yuan’s new plans after benefiting from its connection to Dragon Island.
• Manaphy sent He Xiaomai and Golduck to train while it spoke privately with Fang Yuan.
• Fang Yuan asked Manaphy about Secret Realms, the Ziyuan Prophecy, and the whereabouts of Lugia and Kyogre, but Manaphy could no longer sense either Legendary Pokémon.
• Fang Yuan explained the prophecy’s warnings, leaving Manaphy frightened that its allies and Dragon Island legion would not be enough to protect it.
• Fang Yuan said he would try to resolve the disasters, and Manaphy pledged its support and offered him anything in its temple.

Fang Yuan learned that the mysterious Pokémon Egg contained a Pokémon with a life level at least equal to Manaphy's and needed specialized nutrients to hatch. Milotic absorbed most of the Sea of Origin's remaining power and underwent a dramatic transformation, while Fang Yuan and Dragonite looked ahead to Dragonite training with the Silver Wing.

• Fang Yuan showed Manaphy the patternless Pokémon Egg, and Manaphy explained that it held a high-level Pokémon and would need abundant, suitable nutrients to hatch.
• Darkrai emerged and greeted Manaphy, who was astonished by Fang Yuan's powerful companions and resolved to invest in his future.
• Manaphy brought the Sea God Temple toward a location with a suitable Beginner Pokémon for He Xiaomai, while Milotic entered the Sea of Origin to train.
• Milotic broke through into the Top Level Domain and absorbed most of the Sea of Origin's energy, undergoing a transformation reminiscent of Kyogre's Primal Reversion.
• Fang Yuan sensed that Milotic's Water-type and psychic mastery had reached the top level and that its combat power had neared Top Level Third Stage; Dragonite anxiously anticipated training with the Silver Wing.

Fang Yuan had Dragonite train with Lugia’s Silver Wing, helping it reach Top Level Flying-type mastery and revealing a dangerous Dark Form resembling Dark Lugia. The Silver Wing suppressed Dragonite’s dark power, and Manaphy agreed to let Fang Yuan keep it so Dragonite could learn to control the form.

• Manaphy retrieved the Silver Wing, and Dragonite used it to train its senses and refine its control over airflow until its Flying-type mastery reached the Top Level Domain.
• Dragonite combined Nightmare Power with Outrage, forming a Lugia-shaped airflow phantom that suppressed its dark power and allowed it to remain rational in its Dark Form.
• Fang Yuan tested Dragonite further and saw the phantom become a Dark Lugia as dark power began to contaminate the Silver Wing.
• Fang Yuan told Dragonite to wake up, and Dragonite dispelled the dark airflow; he concluded that the Silver Wing could suppress the power but would also be eroded by it.
• Fang Yuan asked Manaphy for the Silver Wing, and Manaphy agreed in exchange for two Legendary Resources; Fang Yuan told Dragonite to use it to learn to control Dark Form itself.

After Milotic and Dragonite broke through, Fang Yuan accompanied He Xiaomai to a hidden deep-sea island where she could choose a Water-type partner. While He Xiaomai explored with Manaphy, Fang Yuan discussed a future disaster with the Sage Slowking, then agreed to see Manaphy’s memories of powerful Pokémon.

• Milotic and Dragonite reached Top Level Combat Power, and Fang Yuan recalled them after arriving back at Water Plaza.
• Manaphy guided Fang Yuan and He Xiaomai to a hidden island in the Pacific, where the Sage Slowking welcomed them.
• Slowking tested He Xiaomai’s Aura Power, and Fang Yuan gave her high-quality Water-type Energy Cubes to help her win a Pokémon’s approval.
• He Xiaomai and Golduck explored the island with a Manaphy clone while Fang Yuan asked Slowking about the disaster predicted for four years later.
• Slowking said it could only foresee near-future disasters, so Fang Yuan asked Manaphy about the strength of Kyogre and Lugia.
• Manaphy used Mind Exchange to show Fang Yuan a vision of a storm-covered island where a golden figure moved through the clouds.

Fang Yuan watched Manaphy show him Zapdos destroying an island, then learned that Manaphy’s Ocean Legion could match that destructive force by coordinating ordinary Pokémon. Inspired, Fang Yuan considered forming a Pokémon Legion of his own.

• Fang Yuan watched Zapdos unleash lightning that destroyed an island, and Manaphy explained that the image showed the Thunder God venting its anger.
• Fang Yuan reflected on the gap between Legendary Pokémon and his team, then asked Manaphy whether ordinary Pokémon could defeat Legendary Pokémon.
• Manaphy showed Fang Yuan hundreds of Wingull and Gyarados combining their abilities to overwhelm an island with a tsunami.
• Manaphy explained that the coordinated group was an Ocean Legion that Sea Princes could command through mental communication.
• Fang Yuan considered building a Pokémon Legion to combine his Pokémon’s strength and potentially challenge Legendary Pokémon.
