It turns out the Trainer before me is the World Tree Guardian from another dimension.
Interesting…
"I know what you're asking. I can help," Ho-Oh readily agreed, given the stake of spacetime's safety.
"Additionally, since you've passed the test, you qualify to become The Brave of the Rainbow," Ho-Oh said, looking at Fang Yuan.
"Are you sure you want to become The Brave of the Rainbow?"
Since Fang Yuan was not this dimension's World Tree Guardian, it felt even more justified in accepting him. After all, Xiaozhi had not yet matured, and if Fang Yuan could temporarily become The Brave of the Rainbow, that wouldn't be too bad…
"Really? Yes, I want to!" Fang Yuan showed his excitement.
"But may I ask, how much salary (Holy Ash) is there for The Brave of the Rainbow?" Fang Yuan was so excited that he forgot to use Mind Induction.
As he finished speaking, Azure Mountain fell silent.
Mashaduo and Master Fan both wore expressions of bewilderment.
The Three Sacred Beasts were startled.
What now???
Ho-Oh, however, revealed a smile as expected. Worthy of being the resplendent dark, the World Tree Dreams from another dimension had indeed chosen an unusual Guardian.
It had a good relationship with Dream, hence Dream often transformed into it and ran around, so now when people from the World Tree came visiting, Ho-Oh was very amiable.
"Fight me, and I'll tell you," Ho-Oh, following the old rules, planned to engage in a battle with Fang Yuan.
This battle was not for victory but for understanding each other through the fighting process.
Fang Yuan understood this as well.
"Okay," Fang Yuan immediately accepted.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Yuan tipped his hat and pointed forward, saying, "It's Decided, It's You, Eevee!"
"Bwoo?!"
On Fang Yuan's shoulder, Eevee was taken aback; it was chosen, not Mewtwo?
It was supposed to be a battle with Ho-Oh…
"You go, you're more suited for this battle," Mewtwo's voice reached inside Eevee's heart.
"Bwoo!!"
Eevee's eyes welled up with tears. It had skipped the battle with Mashaduo, leaped over the fight with the Three Sacred Beasts, and now it had to battle Ho-Oh… If only it had known...
No matter.
Eevee, sensing Fang Yuan's expectant emotions, gradually became serious and leaped down from Fang Yuan's shoulder.
It would face Ho-Oh; what did it matter? Maybe it could even catch the last ride with Brother Monkey.
The battle between The Brave of the Rainbow and Ho-Oh kicked off without further delay!
With the battle underway, Eevee finally understood why Fang Yuan and Mewtwo sent it into the fray – this was a teaching battle, Ho-Oh guiding The Brave of the Rainbow!
Rainbow light shimmered across the entirety of Azure Mountain.
And it reflected in Fang Yuan's eyes.
Fighting in sync with Eevee's Power of the Heart, Fang Yuan didn't understand why but, even without mastering the Meditation Method of the Goldenrod Gym, his Mental Power and Spiritual Power naturally amplified at that moment.
After Milotic and Armed Magnetic Monster, was he about to break through too?
"Haha…" At that moment, Master Fan was seated on a mountain rock, eyes twinkling as he watched Fang Yuan lead Eevee in battle.
Next to him, Mashaduo also quietly observed.
"One day, the new Brave of the Rainbow will surely nurture miracles," Master Fan said.
"Mashad…" Even though it was still puzzled, watching the silhouettes of Fang Yuan and Ho-Oh battle, Mashaduo also silently nodded.
It looked at the Pokemon accompanying Fang Yuan. Even though it felt like Fang Yuan had tricked it… it seemed… like Ho-Oh didn't mind this Trainer.
That was fine.
Mashaduo's eyes sparkled; the new Brave of the Rainbow was born! It was the one that tested it!
