Chapter 322 Hide and Seek? Training!_1

Champion Mountain.

In the past two days, who knows if it was because the news of Emuritto had been exposed or not, but a large number of Trainers delved deep into the wilderness.

At the same time, the number of Trainers who had recently come to Champion Mountain was also increasing.

Now.

Fang Yuan, Sun Eevee, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, the Fierce Fire Monkey, Ghostss, and Luo Kuo were already in the midst of Champion Mountain.

No matter how the outside world changed, they couldn't just overlook Emuritto.

In the game of hide and seek, apart from luck, naturally, the one who started moving first had the advantage.

During the search, Fang Yuan didn't encounter any danger throughout the entire process.

This time, it wasn't because of Eevee and Luo Kuo, but because there was a Professional Trainer Team secretly protecting them.

Sun Qianshang was the closest to Fang Yuan, and beyond her, there were four other Professional Trainers creating layers of protection around them.

Essentially, they were protecting Fang Yuan to the point where even he found it awkward.

"This is not good if it continues this way,"

Fang Yuan said, his brow furrowing slightly as he chatted with his Pokémon while looking for Emuritto.

If they went on like this, it would be too much of a waste of time.

They spent nearly the entire day traveling and on inefficient training.

For Fang Yuan, who cherished time, this was simply a waste of life.

If they could find Emuritto, it would be fine, but if they spent months or even a year or two here without gaining anything, it would be a huge loss.

If there were no benefits, Fang Yuan was not willing to continue playing this game with Emuritto.

Although... Emuritto hadn't invited him.

In any case, Fang Yuan felt that one or two months would be acceptable, but if they had to spend a year or two here looking for Emuritto, he would definitely oppose it.

Perhaps in the eyes of the big shots, it was worth the time for the Trainers to spend a great deal of time searching for a Legendary Pokémon, but the problem was that Fang Yuan felt his time could be better spent elsewhere.

So, at most three or four months, if there were no gains, he would absolutely slip away.

Wouldn't it be nice to train Eevee into a Legendary Pokémon with the extra time?

Even now, Fang Yuan had some thoughts.

Simply searching for Emuritto was too boring.

"What's up?" Sun Qianshang appeared in front of Fang Yuan after noticing he was looking for her and asked.

"Qianshang, don't you think this is actually more conspicuous?" Fang Yuan said, "Although the protection is secretive, the protective circle around me is too obvious."

Sun Qianshang asked, "You're worried about being discovered, aren't you?"

"Don't worry, it's obvious, yes, but it's just to ensure your safety. Even if it leads to being targeted, it doesn't matter, I guarantee they will be taken out before they can even get close to you!"

Fang Yuan was astonished; her words indeed reassured him, but the problem was that Fang Yuan wanted to change the method.

"Qianshang, it's true that we're traveling efficiently this way, but I feel like in the game of hide and seek, if the map is small, it's about efficiency, but with such a big map, luck and method are probably more important."

"Speak your mind..." Sun Qianshang said.

"Can we change the way we travel, like letting me occasionally battle some Wild Pokémon or something... Or when everyone else is traveling, take turns giving me some guidance..." Fang Yuan said with a grin, "This way, I could also learn some wilderness survival experience, and it wouldn't be a wasted trip."

Battling and training in a place like Champion Mountain would surely accelerate the growth of Pokemon. Fang Yuan's were the kind that had an excess of nutrition but lacked the extensive battles needed to leverage those nutrients effectively.

Moreover, even though Fang Yuan had learned some wilderness survival skills from Pingcheng's Professional Trainer Zhuang Xin during the Rising Star Training Program in high school, after all, it was just a basic course…

Now, being able to follow more professional Trainers, and with hardcore individuals like Sun Qianshang who hunted Spirit Hunters like prey, Fang Yuan would be remiss if he didn't seize this opportunity to learn from them.

It made sense to take advantage of this hide-and-seek mission to undergo wilderness training—that was the true path to mastery.

That way, even if they didn't find Emuritto, it would still be a win and not a loss.

"…" Sun Qianshang fell silent for a moment, then nodded, "We'll try to accommodate your request, but the search must still be the priority."

"Understood," Fang Yuan said.

…

Because they needed to delve deep into Champion Mountain, it wasn't feasible for Fang Yuan and his team to return to human cities at any time, so setting up camp in the wild became a daily occurrence.

The initial plan was to return to human cities once every half month, but it mainly depended on whether Fang Yuan could endure staying in the wilderness for extended periods…"

Before long, Sun Qianshang communicated Fang Yuan's request to the other Professional Trainers through her own means.

For them, this was somewhat expected.

After all, Fang Yuan was just a college student who hadn't undergone specialized training; how could he possibly tolerate the torment of staying in the wilderness for a long time? Fang Yuan's request to battle with wild Pokemon was seen by these Trainers as simply a way to alleviate boredom.

Continuing aimlessly would make even them feel the dullness.

Shortly after, Sun Qianshang reappeared before Fang Yuan, "Are you sure you want to try battling on your own?"

"Yes," Fang Yuan nodded.

"Then we won't intentionally avoid certain areas any longer…" Sun Qianshang said with a smile.

After speaking these words to Fang Yuan, they walked forward about a few hundred meters when Fang Yuan's expression subtly changed.

Before him stood an inexplicably enormous tree. Fang Yuan didn't know its species, but it was much taller and more luxuriant than the other trees. Among the leaves, countless black dots were gathering, and even from a distance, Fang Yuan could hear the "fluttering" sound.

"Spearow, do you want me to help?" Luo Kuo, who was beside Fang Yuan, had already noticed the Spearow and calmly offered.

To Luo Kuo, Spearow was nothing; in an instant, she could turn these birds into featherless fowl.

Sun Eevee, too, had the capacity, watching the giant tree ahead nonchalantly.

Whoosh!

From the tree, several Spearow flew out, glaring sharply at Fang Yuan, prompting him to once again bare a fearless grin.

"No need."

He wasn't scared of Spearow, and even if they were Big Mouth Sparrow, he wouldn't be afraid—unless they could Super Evolve into Ho-Oh…

However, on this tree… there might be hundreds of Spearow, making up a huge Spearow flock.

If there were too many of them, they might become troublesome to deal with…

This type of Pokemon is rash and easily angered, prone to attacking Trainers, and might now see Fang Yuan and his party as enemies encroaching on their territory.

"Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, prepare for battle."

As Fang Yuan and the group passed by, the Spearow swiftly mobilized… and soon, in front of the giant tree, a thick shadow densely emerged.
