Chapter Summaries

Fang Yuan explained to Regieleki and Regidrago that the humans they blamed were long extinct and that the Pokélantis Empire had been destroyed centuries ago. The God Pillars began considering peaceful coexistence, and Fang Yuan planned to use the same explanation to approach the other three sealed Eternal Pokémon.

• Fang Yuan introduced President Wen, Fu Hei, and Master Qiao Jing to Regieleki and Regidrago, then acted as their translator so they could communicate safely.
• Fang Yuan told the God Pillars that the Pokémon World had been shattered and its ancient humans had gone extinct, leaving them with no living enemies to avenge themselves against.
• Regieleki asked whether the Pokélantis Empire had been destroyed, and Fang Yuan explained that Ho-Oh had likely wiped out the empire after it tried to capture the Legendary Pokémon.
• Regidrago became interested in Fang Yuan's promises of beautiful Dragon-type partners, while Regieleki reconsidered seeking revenge against people from a different world.
• Fang Yuan and the others decided to release the remaining three sealed Eternal Pokémon and explain the empire's destruction to them as well.

Fang Yuan learned that the newly discovered underground ruins might be connected to the Pokélantis Empire and went in alone to find the Pokélantis King's sealed soul. He reached the King's Room and threw a piece of stone at the Stone Orb, leaving its fate unresolved.

• President Wen told Fang Yuan that the Su Province Association had discovered a vast underground ruin filled with ancient carvings, Pokémon statues, and unopened stone doors.
• Fang Yuan warned everyone that the ruins might contain a threat greater than a Guardian God Level Pokémon and ordered the Trainers to seal off the area.

• Fang Yuan followed the corridors to the King's Room and confirmed that the Stone Orb beneath the Pokélantis King's statue was the sealed object from his memories.
• Fang Yuan avoided touching the Stone Orb directly, broke a piece of the floor with Psyshock, and threw it at the orb.

The Pokélantis King tried to lure Fang Yuan into touching the Stone Orb so he could possess him, promising to teach him a method for greatly strengthening Pokémon. Fang Yuan instead threatened the king with Ho-Oh’s Rainbow Wing and demanded that he share his Ancient Power techniques.

• The Pokélantis King revealed that his soul had survived inside the Stone Orb and planned to possess one of the humans who entered the ruins.

• Fang Yuan approached while holding Ho-Oh’s Rainbow Wing, which terrified the Pokélantis King.
• Fang Yuan demanded that the king write down how to use Ancient Power and offered to prepare a body for him if they cooperated.

Fang Yuan forced the Pokélantis King to agree to teach him Ancient Power by threatening him with the Rainbow Wing and Gengar. The king revealed that learning to make Pokémon undergo Gigantification required materials, power, and rituals, and asked Fang Yuan to take him outside to assess whether those conditions remained.

• The Pokélantis King explained that Gigantification required specific materials, power, and rituals, and said Fang Yuan would need to take him outside so he could assess the situation.

Fang Yuan questioned the Pokélantis King about Ancient Power and learned that its main inheritance was a difficult Gigantification ritual with strict bloodline and aptitude requirements. After hearing that only exceptional Pokémon could control their size and that most could not return to normal, Fang Yuan lost interest and decided to bury the king, who desperately begged him to preserve the technique.

• The Pokélantis King explained that Ancient Power included methods for Gigantification, Soul Power training, and controlling Super Ancient Sealed Objects, though most of the inheritance had been lost.
• The Pokélantis King said that only about one beast in ten thousand could undergo Gigantification, favoring ancient, unchanged bloodlines, and Fang Yuan suspected Eevee was unsuitable.
• The Pokélantis King revealed that Gigantified Pokémon could return to normal size only if they were exceptionally gifted enough to control the curse mark and Ancient Power.
• Fang Yuan decided he no longer wanted to learn Ancient Power and planned to bury the Pokélantis King deep underground without harming anyone else.
• The Pokélantis King panicked and pleaded with Fang Yuan to preserve the powerful cultivation method, claiming it could raise ordinary beasts to the level of gods.

Fang Yuan arranged for Giant Dragonite to learn Ancient Power from the Pokélantis King's soul, hoping it could control its size and provide a model for future training. As the Mewtwo Game approached, Mewtwo foresaw both countries losing but could not see what happened afterward.

• Fang Yuan explained that Giant Dragonite would study Ancient Power through the Pokélantis King's soul, and President Wen, Fu Hei, and Master Qiao Jing approved the plan.
• The Dragon God Pillar and Electric God Pillar agreed to delay destroying the soul until their three sealed brothers had been awakened.
• Fang Yuan decided to take the stone box to Dragon Island and help the Dragonite of this timeline, while resolving not to take Pokémon from this world back to his own timeline.

• Mewtwo showed Kong Hai clones of his Pokémon and said they would fight in the Mewtwo Game, while Kong Hai's originals remained in its custody.

• Fang Yuan met Mewtwo outside Hua Blue Cave and asked whether it knew Ash and Pikachu.

Fang Yuan confronted Mewtwo at Hua Blue Cave, where Mewtwo became enraged after noticing Eevee’s unusual Mew Genes. Fang Yuan claimed Eevee was Mewtwo’s older sister, provoking Mewtwo to accuse him of belonging to Team Rocket before inviting him inside to talk.

• Fang Yuan realized Mewtwo did not recognize the names Red or Ash and suspected it had only recently been born.
• Mewtwo noticed Eevee’s unusual strength and Mew Genes, then released a surge of Psychic power that alarmed the Trainers and Guardian Gods watching.

• Fang Yuan denied working for Team Rocket and offered to share what he knew about Mew, after which Mewtwo entered Hua Blue Cave and told Fang Yuan to follow alone.

• Latias, Latios, and Master Kong Hai's Pokémon blocked President Wen and the others from following Fang Yuan into Hua Blue Cave.
• Mewtwo told Fang Yuan to reveal Mew's whereabouts, and Fang Yuan explained that Mew had died and that their rivalry over who was the original was meaningless.

Fang Yuan accepted the rules and assured Master Kong Hai that he would not easily let Mewtwo claim the title of Strongest Trainer.

• Fang Yuan told Mewtwo he would defeat it and prove that it was not the Strongest Trainer, provoking Mewtwo but not making it lose control.

Fang Yuan challenged Mewtwo after winning the Mewtwo Game, and the two began a battle that shook Hua Blue Cave. With Victini-enhanced Infernape opening the Seventh Gate and Fang Yuan using the Fighting Stone Plate to protect it, Infernape struck Mewtwo hard enough to drive it into the ground and send it into the sea, where Mewtwo emerged ready to fight back.

He began treating Mewtwo’s injuries as the world watched the livestream cut out, leaving the fate of their partnership and Fang Yuan’s promised surprise for later.
