Chapter Summaries

After a peaceful month, Mew sent Fang Yuan on a new mission to recover Arceus’s remaining Plates from two timelines. Fang Yuan eagerly chose to travel first to the Pokémon World where Mewtwo was born, hoping to meet its powerful Trainers.

• Mewtwo trained nearly around the clock to master Mega Evolution, while Fang Yuan gave it development paths for its Mega Mewtwo X and Y forms.
• Infernape and Ditto recovered and grew stronger with Mew’s treatment, and Mew concluded that the World Tree’s death likely came from energy depletion caused by incompatibility between worlds.

• Fang Yuan accepted Mew’s mission to visit the Pokémon World, and Eevee, Victini, Rotom, Porygon, and the others prepared for the trip.

As the guests and Pokémon enjoyed the gathering, Eevee offered Pikachu advice on battling, and Ash asked Fang Yuan about Sinnoh Pokémon before realizing Professor Oak was missing.

• Fang Yuan changed the subject by asking where Professor Oak was, and Ash realized Professor Oak had not appeared at the feast.

Professor Oak asked Ash and his friends to retrieve the mysterious GS Ball from Doctor Utsugi on Daikan Island because he was busy with an experiment. When Ash learned Champion Cynthia was visiting to study an ancient artifact, he and Fang Yuan became eager to challenge her.

• Professor Oak asked Ash, Misty, Brock, and Fang Yuan to help retrieve the GS Ball from Doctor Utsugi in the Orange Archipelago.

• Ash learned Cynthia was coming and asked to delay his trip so he could challenge her.
• Fang Yuan confirmed Cynthia was the Champion he had been thinking of and said he wanted to challenge her because she was strong.

Fang Yuan investigated Cynthia’s formidable Pokémon before meeting her at Professor Oak’s Laboratory, where Ash secured a battle with the Sinnoh Champion.

• Cynthia asked Fang Yuan whether he knew Sheena and recognized signs of Plates and Transcendence Power, prompting Fang Yuan to realize she had detected his secret.

Fang Yuan seized the chance to reveal his ability to read Super Ancient Writing while Doctor White, Professor Oak, and Cynthia investigated ancient stone tablets. His translation ruled out the hoped-for breeding method, but prompted White to ask him to examine more artifacts, while Fang Yuan planned to use his knowledge to build ties with Cynthia and Oak.

• After Cynthia noticed Fang Yuan's Transcendence Power, he decided to stop hiding his abilities and come clean before she investigated him.

• Doctor White invited Fang Yuan to examine more artifacts with her Research Team, while Fang Yuan resolved to use his knowledge to gain Oak's and Cynthia's help in finding Plates.

• Ash urged Fang Yuan to battle Cynthia, and Fang Yuan agreed, but an explosion erupted near the mountain behind the laboratory.
• Doctor White learned that Team Rocket had tried to steal the Super Ancient artifacts and accidentally released two Ancient Pokémon, so Cynthia and Fang Yuan agreed to help.

Fang Yuan and Cynthia confronted the rampaging Super Ancient Alakazam and Gengar, whose battle spread dangerous Negative Energy across Pallet Town's back mountain. Fang Yuan unleashed his giant Lycanroc to suppress them, used the Sealed Objects to capture them, and left Lycanroc to cleanse the remaining energy, shocking Ash and the others when they learned it was Fang Yuan's Pokémon.

• Cynthia and Fang Yuan flew to the back mountain with Braviary and Dragonite while Professor Oak stayed behind to bring Ash and the others.
• Fang Yuan explained that Alakazam and Gengar were leaking Negative Energy that would keep spreading, and asked Cynthia to retrieve their Sealed Objects while he held them back.
• Fang Yuan released Lycanroc, which grew into a Super Ancient giant, absorbed the Negative Energy, and battled both Alakazam and Gengar at once.
• Cynthia found the two Sealed Objects, and Fang Yuan used them to capture Alakazam and Gengar before they exhausted themselves.

• Eevee looked embarrassed when Fang Yuan asked, apparently realizing it had gotten into trouble.

Fang Yuan and Eevee made money playing games in Celadon City's Game Center before visiting Erika's perfume shop, where Erika offered custom perfumes in exchange for observing Venusaur. Wataru arrived to meet Fang Yuan and recognized Eevee as the Pokémon that had destroyed his Inspection Mirror, leaving Eevee awkwardly greeting the Champion.

• Fang Yuan and Eevee won so much money at Game Center booths that shop owners began banning them and calling Eevee the Brown Devil.

Meanwhile, Lorelei asked Wataru to look into Fang Yuan, whose suspicious records and Eevee left Wataru fearing that she might be Champion Level.

• Wataru met Fang Yuan, invited him to take part in public Championships battles, and challenged him to a one-on-one match.
