The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

After hearing Professor Oak's words, Kikuko was unusually silent for a moment, then said softly.

“Qiao Yixue, you should have heard about her situation. I will have her take charge of the dojo assessment.”

"Thanks....."

Professor Oak expressed his sincere gratitude.

All that answered Professor Oak's call was an endless busy signal.

After hanging up the phone, Professor Oak breathed a sigh of relief.

Professor Oak was in a very good mood as he picked up the bowl of instant noodles that had been overcooked into a mushy mess.

Because he knew that no matter what method the Matsuzo Dojo used, it would be absolutely impossible for them to pass the dojo challenge this time.

Because this Miss Joy, named Joy Snow, as a League Examiner, only has two Pokémon.

One is Miss Joy's standard Chansey.

The other Pokémon's name is Latias!

--------

"Is this the Matsumo Dojo?"

"It doesn't seem as bad as people online say."

After being closed for several days, the Matsumo Dojo finally welcomed a new challenger: a bug-catching boy.

After the bug-catching boy entered the dojo, he was greeted by a boy with spiky hair, Shigeru.

However, at this moment, Shigeru had changed into the disciple's uniform of the Matsuzo Dojo and had a big smile on his face.

"Welcome to challenge the Matsumo Gym."

"Hello."

The boy who was catching insects shrank his neck and said...

"You should know the challenge rules for the Matsumo Gym, right? Please select your preferred battle session."

The boy who caught the bugs had clearly done his homework, and spoke without hesitation.

"I choose the rocky terrain!"

"Rock terrain?"

Xiao Mao's lips twitched, but he still nodded.

"Okay, please come with me."

Upon arriving at the battle arena, the bug-catching boy took a deep breath and pulled out his Poké Ball from his waist.

"I am Challenger Xiao Chong!"

At this moment, Fang Yuan, the owner of the museum, made his grand entrance as the last to appear, looking at the boy catching insects and saying...

"Welcome to my gym. Please send out your Pokémon."

"Go, ultrasonic larvae!"

A large green dragonfly appeared in the battlefield.

Upon seeing that it was actually a rare supersonic larva with both dragon and ground attributes, Fang Yuan stroked his chin and said...

"Well done, your ultrasonic larvae."

The boy who caught the bugs had regained some confidence and said...

"Of course! I'm a trainer who has earned two gym badges!"

"My goal is to win the Kanto League Tournament!"

Hearing the insect-catching boy's words, Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Xiao Chong, right? Not a bad idea."

"So now it's my turn to send out the elves."

Chapter 14 The examiner is about to arrive, and Qiao Yixue has switched identities.

"The ultrasonic larvae are unable to fight! The victor is Gym Leader Fang Yuan!"

In the referee's (Shigeru's) ruling, the bug-catching boy, Xiaochong, ran out of the dojo crying.

"Woooooo~~~"

"Everything on the internet is a lie! Didn't they say that the Matsumo Gym is weak and that getting a badge is as easy as drinking water?"

Why would the gym leader send Tyranitar?

"Waaaaah~ Mommy, the outside world is so scary."

Watching the bug-catching boy burst into tears after being hit by the attack, Xiao Mao seemed to see a reflection of himself in him for some reason.

However, Xiao Mao felt that he was somewhat different from the boy who was wailing and catching bugs.

Although I feel very unwilling to lose, I will continue to train and win back!

"This must be what Master meant by finding one's original aspirations, right?"

[System Notification: Xiao Mao's "Rediscovering His Original Aspirations" quest progress +5% (currently 25%)]

Fang Yuan looked at Xiao Mao with some confusion.

'Are self-manipulation techniques popular among trainers these days?'

However, seeing that he was only 15% away from receiving the next stage reward, Fang Yuan let it go.

Fang Yuan said to Xiao Wen

"Let's call on the next challenger."

Meanwhile, Xiaowen, who had watched Fang Yuan's match the entire time, couldn't help but complain.

"Master, it's true that it's fun to crush weaker opponents, but you should at least be mindful of the consequences. Aren't you afraid those challengers will complain about you?"

"Complain against me?"

Fang Yuan waved his hand dismissively.

“It doesn’t matter. I’d rather turn around the reputation of Matsuzo Dojo than have a few more complaints every month.”

"Since it's my gym, it naturally has to be the strongest gym in the Kanto League!"

After hearing Fang Yuan's words, Xiao Wen waved her hand dismissively, her expression saying, "Do as you please."

Xiaowen turned her head and stared at the computer screen, as if she was recalling something.

"If I had been as decisive as the curator back then, and hadn't run away, would the city of Ordron have had a different ending...?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiaowen reached out and patted her face.

"I'm not going to think about that anymore, I need to focus on my work now!"

Under Xiaowen's arrangement, the next challenger soon took the stage.

"Greetings, esteemed Gym Leader. This is my first time challenging a Gym. Please go easy on me."

Looking at the pitiful little girl in front of him, Fang Yuan smiled and nodded, then took out a Poliwrathful Poké Ball.

"Yes, don't worry, I'll go easy on you."

Ten minutes later, another heartbroken person joined the Matsuzo Dojo.

A morning passed quickly.

Fang Yuan relied on his overwhelming strength to successfully inflict major blows on more than a dozen trainers.

Correspondingly, many negative reviews have also begun to appear under the comments section of the Matsuzo Dojo.

[The Matsumo Gym is simply insurmountable! My Ultrasonic Larva was completely crushed by the Gym Leader; the defeat was absolutely humiliating!]

[Waaaaah~ I got completely wrecked by the Gym Leader's Mudkip! The Gym Leader is so strong!]

[If anyone ever says again that Matsuzō Gym is the second-to-last gym in Kanto, I'll fight them to the death! My poor Charmander lost so badly!]

......

Although these comments are insignificant in the vast sea of ​​works such as "The Second Simplest Dojo in History" and "The Shame of the Kanto Dojo," they represent Fang Yuan's first step in revitalizing the dojo.

Reputation must be built up step by step.

Fang Yuan believed that with his own abilities, plus the system's tiny bit of assistance, he would definitely be able to build the Songzao Dojo into the number one dojo in Kanto, no, in the world!

However, just as Fang Yuan was displaying his prowess in the dojo, defeating all challengers, some people other than the challengers expressed great resentment towards him.

That's Miss Joy from the Matsuzo Dojo.

As a city that is not particularly famous, Ms. Joy of the Matsuzo Dojo usually has a fairly leisurely workday.

But even today, when the thirteenth trainer ran into the Pokémon Center crying, Nurse Joy felt a chill run down her spine.

"Master Fang, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

Just as Nurse Joy was crying while healing her Pokémon at the Matsumo Gym, a man dressed in black walked into the Pokémon Hall and entered Nurse Joy's healing room.

She was wearing a black coat and a black mask, completely hiding herself under the loose coat.

They went straight to Miss Joey in Matsumo City.

Meanwhile, Nurse Joy in Matsumo City had just finished treating the Pokémon's injuries.

Her only consolation was that Gym Leader Fang controlled his power very well during the battle, and none of the trainers' Pokémon were seriously injured; otherwise, she would have been absolutely overwhelmed by the situation alone.

At this moment, Miss Joy from Matsuzao City frowned as she looked at the man in black in front of her.

"who are you?"

The man in the black coat didn't speak, but slowly took out a Red Cross medal with a gold chuck egg pattern.

Upon seeing the medal, Miss Joey from Matsumo City stared in astonishment, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"This all-black attire, and the insignia of the Joey clan... could it be that you are Senior Joey Xue?!"

Seeing that there was no one else around, Joey took off her mask and hood, revealing a face that looked almost exactly like Miss Joey from Matsuzao City.

"You don't need to call me senior. Actually, I'm probably not as old as you."

A stunning smile appeared on Qiao Yixue's lips.

Although all the Miss Joys have the same face, Joy Xue, wearing a black trench coat, is clearly more elegant.

"No, no, no, you are the senior! You are the legendary Nurse Joy who captured the Mythical Pokémon! You are the idol of the entire Nurse Joy clan!"

"Please, could you please sign this for me?"

After fulfilling Miss Joy's small wish in Matsuzao City, Joy said to her...

"I am here on official business. I would like to ask you about Fang Yuan, the head of the Songzao Dojo."

"As Nurse Joy from Matsumo City, you should know the current situation of the Matsumo Gym."

"I now need to reassess the Matsuzo Dojo to see if it still has any value."

But to Qiao Yixue's surprise, Miss Qiao Yi from Songzao City unexpectedly retorted...

"No, I think you're wrong. Although the original headmaster of the Matsuzo Dojo was a very unreliable person."

"But the current Gym Leader Fang Yuan is a very reliable and capable one. I can guarantee that with the reputation of my Joey clan."

After hearing what was said on the other end, Qiao Yixue raised her head with some confusion.

It is clear that what Ms. Joy of Matsumo City said is different from, or even completely opposite to, the situation given by the League.

Her original plan was to go directly to Fang Yuan's dojo to assess him, defeat him, and lower his dojo level.

After all, ever since she became partners with Latias by chance, she has never lost a single battle.

This sudden discovery made Qiao Yixue hesitate.

After pondering for a moment, Qiao Yixue put down the intelligence provided by the Alliance. As a newly appointed examiner, Qiao Yixue wanted to see for herself what kind of person this Hall Master Fang Yuan really was.

If it's just a test of strength, how many gym leaders could beat her Latias?

Joey looked at Miss Joey from Matsuzao City in front of her, and a good idea suddenly came to her mind.
