After King A'Liu returned, the cruise ship officially set sail back.
Following Satoru and Caitlin, A'Liu became the third victim.
Each one was more miserable than the last.
They could even form a Victim Association by now.
Meanwhile, the instigator, Fang Yuan, was leisurely enjoying the delicacies at the cruise banquet.
"Bwoo..."
Eevee's mouth was full of cream, looking utterly content.
Fang Yuan was also munching on cupcakes made from Frost Milk Fairy's fresh cream, one after another.
"Delicious..." It was definitely the right choice to come back from Mewtwo's place.
Otherwise, if he had stayed there for the evening, he would have had to chew on fruits and cabbage again.
He had to admit, the food here was much more delicious than the food at Professor Oak's Research Institute's party.
At Professor Oak's, it was all home-cooked meals by the town residents, while here there were special dishes from various regions, Frost Milk Fairy cream cakes, sauce-coated Slowpoke tails, and even a special wine for psychics that could put one into a deep meditation state with just one cup...
......
Since the Superpower Banquet lasted for three days,
the guests could stay on the cruise ship.
Taking the easy route, Fang Yuan and his group naturally chose to stay on the ship.
After being busy the whole day, by evening, Fang Yuan and Nastina got down to business.
Fang Yuan hadn't forgotten that the main goal of his trip was still to enhance his Superpower abilities.
If he could elevate his spiritual power a level before the elimination rounds of the World Championship, then his Power of the Heart's amplification effect would be better, and by then, he would have a better chance fighting opponents like Du and Hirona.
"Two hours already..."
"Is it really that difficult..."
In the room, Eevee lay on the bed playing with a cellphone, while Fang Yuan was learning the Meditation Method passed down in Nastina's family that she was explaining to him.
At this moment, Nastina was extremely irritable, angrily watching Fang Yuan, thinking he was mocking her.
Meditation Method!!
The most basic aspect of Superpower abilities, and after two hours, Fang Yuan still hadn't grasped the basics.
She had explained it who knows how many times already!
"If you were an apprentice at the Goldenrod Gym, you would have been thrown out of the gym by now."
"Isn't it common knowledge that meditation takes a long time to master??" Fang Yuan scratched his cheek and said.
"But, that's relative to beginners..."
"Even for a beginner with a little talent, it shouldn't take more than 2 hours," Nastina covered her head.
"Your supernatural power level allows you to conjure a considerably strong Confusion, so it's just about changing the way you meditate... Normally, any competent psychic should be able to switch over quickly, especially... since I'm explaining it so earnestly."
"When I was under five years old, it took me less than 1 minute to succeed..." Nastina slumped powerlessly in her chair, unsure how to teach Fang Yuan.
Who exactly is the teacher, actually hoping Fang Yuan would first comprehend her way of practicing Superpower, then turn around and teach her? Is that reliable?
She felt like Fang Yuan had been fooling her from start to finish.
Yet, Fang Yuan's attainment in Superpower abilities was indeed genuine... Strange...
Nastina now didn't know whether to think of Fang Yuan as a genius or an idiot.
"This... might be because I ate too much just now, and I'm not in a good state."
Fang Yuan said awkwardly, "Let's go again, this time I'll definitely succeed."
Fang Yuan was inwardly distressed.
What kind of meditation method is this, harder than even Su Shu's or Master Kong Hai's methods?
Is this really meant for human psychics and not a Meditative Moves Secret book for Pokemon??
He doubted that the physique of Earth people was the same as that of the humans in this world...
If that was the case, did his chances of successfully practicing it just disappear...?
Damn it.
Rather than this, it might be more reliable to just commit suicide in front of Ho-Oh and then have it resurrect him as an ultra-new person to enhance his strength.
"Bwoo..."
On the bed, Eevee looked at Fang Yuan, who couldn't even get through the door, and shook its head helplessly.
Fang Yuan's talent in this area wasn't that high to begin with, huh. Nastina was expecting too much, thinking he could learn quickly.
Fang Yuan's superpower talent was all focused on the Emotional Power of the Mind; in that respect, Fang Yuan would forever be a god! But to learn the kind of pure spiritual power enhancing meditation method that Nastina just taught quickly? No way.
The strength of Fang Yuan's spiritual power now... more than half of it was thanks to it helping him meditate, and besides, it took who knows how long.
"Teacher, are you really capable of this..." Nastina silently questioned.
"Don't underestimate me, Nastina... Your teacher is a genius," Fang Yuan immediately replied and started over. Although it was difficult to learn, he felt that if he could master this meditation method, his supernatural power attainment could definitely advance further.
It was like these special training methods could gradually transform his physique into that of a human from this world, an astonishing sensation.
Fang Yuan started to train seriously, and teaching Nastina the Power of the Heart wasn't urgent.
It was not so much that it wasn't urgent, but that Fang Yuan also didn't know how to teach it, he wasn't prepared yet.
His Power of the Heart was purely accidental, a mutation of the abilities gifted by Emuritto, and definitely not something that could be taught directly.
However, since he had taken Nastina under the Heart Source Style, Fang Yuan would certainly find a way to teach her.
One method, go directly to Lake Heart Harmony of this world, find Emuritto, ask the creature for a favor, and have it also grant Nastina the superpower of mental strength.
The second method, start with Mega Evolution, after all, Mega Evolution is also considered an extraordinary application of emotional strength, as long as Celebi built the time-space tunnel to Earth, he could return to Earth at any time to pick up a Hudie Super Stone and give it to Nastina to research, which should be basically problem-free.
So the most pressing issue, Fang Yuan thought, was to first enhance his own superpower.
......
The next day, early morning.
When Fang Yuan woke up, he received a message.
It was from Hirona.
Hirona: "Yesterday I slept with Caitlin..."
"Uh..." Seeing this sentence, Fang Yuan's cheeks reddened slightly. That's kind of exciting.
Damn, he hadn't slept well all night, constantly thinking about meditation, and Eevee was beside him shining a phone light for half the night...
"While chatting with her, she told me that Satoru set up a 'Relic Conquer Team' chat group and invited A'Liu and her into it. Their invitation criteria seem to be trainers who have entered that relic, it's very interesting, you have to be careful not to screw up."
"Also, I'm going to attend a mythological lecture today, so I'll take my leave first. ——— Hirona"
After seeing this message, Fang Yuan understood right away.
Best inside agent Hirona! This information is spot on.
"This Satoru with his bushy eyebrows, I didn't expect him to also set up a chat group to invite victims to conquer relics together..." Fang Yuan chuckled and shook his head.
However, this chat group sounded quite interesting; it was probably created for devising strategies to counter Monferno and their ilk.
If he could get in, he might be able to get some interesting strategic information.
Hmm... later on, find a way to act out a scene and sneak in for a look.
Just that... if Satoru invited all the victims in, when he eventually used Monferno and the other Pokemon to compete, wouldn't the group name change to "Conquer Fang Yuan Strategy Group"...
"No worries, when that time comes, I'll just report a couple of lewd photos, have the System shut it down, and it will be fine!"
