"Overcome Force..." Dr. Oak was also hugely surprised, looking towards Fang Yuan, was it the Overcome Force of the Arceus lineage?
This was an ability even more mysterious and rarer than Wave Guide and Superpower, only humans recognized by the Arceus lineage could possess it.
"Yes."
"The reason I've come to this time-space is actually related to Arceus. Because of some reasons, our time-space is facing the crisis of a collapse."
"To resolve it smoothly, we can only rely on the power of Arceus and the Time-space Twin Gods, but unfortunately, due to some reasons, they are all in slumber, especially Arceus, because it has lost the Tablet, is still sleeping in the realm of origins and we don't know when it can awaken."
"To wake it, we must help it retrieve its lost power, which is the Tablet."
"I've accepted some commissions from Legendary Pokémon, according to their descriptions, the Tablets of Arceus have fallen into various time-spaces for some special reasons, and I, am the one entrusted to find Arceus's Tablets." Fang Yuan earnestly looked towards Dr. Oak and Hirona, "Since I'm new here, I'm not very familiar with this time-space yet, so, I hope I can get the help from you both."
At this moment, after hearing Fang Yuan's description, Dr. Oak and Hirona both fell silent.
Before this, they had been guessing about Fang Yuan's origins, but now that Fang Yuan had revealed it himself, they found that his origins were more terrifying than they had imagined.
An interdimensional traveler entrusted by a group of Legendary Pokémon to find the Tablets of Arceus?
This...
Dr. Oak looked towards Hirona.
After pondering for a moment, Hirona looked seriously at Fang Yuan and said, "As long as you prove that you truly have the Overcome Force, I can help you."
"Plus, I want to verify your claims myself."
As the Sinnoh Champion, even though it wasn't her own world, Hirona's sense of responsibility wouldn't allow her to just watch another world be destroyed.
Furthermore, as a scholar of the mythic history of Sinnoh, she realized that helping Fang Yuan could be an opportunity for her to gain a deeper understanding of mythic history.
Although further verification was needed, Hirona already believed in Fang Yuan's words to some extent.
"Of course, I'll prove it to myself," Fang Yuan smiled.
"Though I'm not sure what help I can provide, if there's a need, please feel free to tell me," Dr. Oak added, Celebi, ah, how I miss it.
If he could see Celebi, then he would believe Fang Yuan.
"Thank you very much," Fang Yuan said.
In fact, he didn't need much help, he could find the location of the Tablets eventually by using Overcome as long as he was willing to spend the time.
But what Fang Yuan worried about was that these Tablets might have already been obtained by people, especially those big powers.
When that time came, getting the Tablets wouldn't be so easy, hence, if he could build up some connections in advance, he would have some backing when it was time to negotiate or trade, at least then, he wouldn't be someone with an unclear background.
"Speaking of which..." Hirona suddenly spoke up.
"I'm not sure if it's the Tablet you're looking for, but there's only two more days left, if you don't take action now, you might miss it."
Hirona suddenly remembered something and said to Fang Yuan.
"Uh..." Fang Yuan looked puzzled.
At this point, Hirona almost believed Fang Yuan's words, she raised a finger and said, "The Pokémon World Championship, according to my knowledge, the mysterious reward for first place seems to be a Tablet unexpectedly acquired by the Alliance. To compete for the ownership of this Tablet, Champions and Kings from major regions' Alliances will participate."
"The registration deadline is two days from now."
"But there's still a chance now."
"The mysterious prize of that competition is actually a Tablet?" Dr. Oak too was hearing this for the first time and expressed his astonishment.
Completely clueless, Fang Yuan asked, "The Pokémon World... Championship? What is that?"
How did it get related to the Tablet?
"Let me explain," Hirona began, "this competition can be described as a new experiment by the Alliance."
"Unlike the previous regional championship tournaments, master competitions, king matches, and champion exchange matches, it unfolds in the form of rankings, with trainers from all regions able to participate."
"Contestants first need to register online, and registered trainers will be divided into four levels according to battle points: Pokeball level, Ultra Ball level, High-Level Ball, and Master Ball level."
"Within each level, there are specific numeric rankings."
"Trainers can use this competition to determine their specific ranking among trainers worldwide."
Pokeball level: Trainers participating for the first time ~ ranked 1000th in the world
Ultra Ball level: Ranked 999th to 100th, you could say that reaching this level means the contestant is approximately in the top 1000 trainers worldwide.
High-Level Ball: Ranked 99th to 9th, these are the hundred strongest players in the Pokémon World.
Master Ball level: The top 8, the strongest trainers of the Pokémon World's first tier.
"All first-time participants will have to start from the Pokeball level, regardless of any previous competition results. Contestants can use the Pokedex, multi-functional navigator, mobile phones, and computers to search for other nearby participants and request battles. Once the challenge is accepted, they can engage in battle."
"The committee will send out referees to the battlefield to record the results and explain the rules. After the match, they will update their rankings based on the performance."
"Generally speaking, a trainer ranked around 1000th in the world is already incredibly strong, and many museum owners are at this level."
"Among them, only the eight trainers ranked in the world's top eight can reach the Master Ball level. The Pokémon Battle Committee will confer upon them the title of the Eight Masters. These eight who dominantly stand at the pinnacle of Pokémon battles will compete in an elimination tournament at the end of the season. The winner will be granted the title of the world's most powerful king."
"As for the ultimate reward for the strongest trainer, as far as I know, it's that special tablet obtained by the Alliance." Hirona looked at Fang Yuan, with a slight smile.
At this moment, Fang Yuan was completely dumbfounded.
"Miss Hilona, you're not telling me you've entered the competition as well, are you?"
Hirona laughed, "Yes, in the Sinnoh League, aside from Tachibana, the three Kings - Ohba, Aliu, Wusong - have joined, and from other regional leagues, as far as I know, champions like Du from the Quartz Alliance, Da Wu from the Fangyuan Alliance, Miss Kaluna from the Kalos League, and Danti from the Galar League have all participated."
"If it were simply about rankings, perhaps these individuals wouldn't bother participating, like that stern champion Mr. Fang Yuan from Hoenn, but because of the tablet... each regional league will likely send out a group of Kings and Champions to compete."
"At that time, the competition will be very brutal, even more so than the champion exchange matches."
"This tablet... if you're looking for it, obtaining it might be somewhat difficult."
While everyone can participate in the World Championship, clearly, the most important reward has already been designated for the league champions.
At the side, Dr. Oak said, "I had heard that this Pokémon World Championship would be huge, but this is beyond what I had imagined."
"Now this is going to be an exciting show."
Unlike the regional championship tournaments Xiaozhi participated in, which were minor skirmishes, the Pokémon World Championship is the place to gauge a trainer's true strength. Even the winners of the league might struggle to rank within the top 1000, Hirona explained briefly, and Fang Yuan understood.
"Mr. Fang Yuan?" Hirona noticed Fang Yuan's headache and smiled, "Mr. Fang Yuan, you should calm down first."
"Actually, it's not that difficult."
"If I win the championship, then I can lend you the tablet when the time comes."
Fang Yuan rubbed his temples and said, "No..."
"I'm just worried that the competition will take up too much of my time. If winning first place is the only way to get the tablet..."
"I will do my utmost to attain it myself," Fang Yuan exhaled, a gleam in his eyes.
Kings all around, champions gathered, the Eight Masters, the ultimate winner?
To compete with him for the tablet, no matter who, they would all be crushed!
"You're really... planning to enter the competition yourself?"
Upon Fang Yuan's words, Dr. Oak and Hirona were slightly taken aback.
Looking at Eevee perched on Fang Yuan's shoulder, they suddenly realized that perhaps Fang Yuan's performance just now was not his full effort.
