The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

However, at this moment, the group of dojo masters suddenly realized that Fang Yuan had secretly retreated behind them.

He shielded the dojo masters in front of him.

Fang Yuan silently thought to himself

"I'm not going to be the first to stick my neck out."

A few more minutes passed, and finally some gym leaders couldn't hold back any longer.

A gym leader specializing in Fighting-style martial arts stepped forward and said...

"President Damaranchi! Please let my fighting gym be the first to take on this challenge!"

The badge on Damaranchi's head nodded silently.

"Go! My ace!"

The Fighting Gym Leader didn't dare to be careless and immediately brought out his strongest Pokémon!

A creature with a burly, strong, and incredibly powerful physique.

And its level is as high as 46!

It's even a bit taller than Ma Zhiqi's Electabuzz.

And just as this dojo master was making his challenge, the people around him were talking amongst themselves.

"Master Li is getting stronger and stronger."

"Yes, even with that kind of skill, you can only become a gym leader in a small city."

"There's nothing we can do. He just happened to run into Natsume. Master Li had no choice but to leave Golden City and go to other smaller cities."

"His fighting dojo was one of the most popular dojos in the Kanto region back then, what a pity."

Hearing the words of the dojo masters around him, Fang Yuan suddenly realized what was going on and said...

"I see. I didn't expect that Sabrina's territory was actually seized? What an interesting history."

Meanwhile, the guardian of the first level also sent out his elf.

A level 30 cat boss who looks unremarkable.

"Boost Fist!"

This Fighting-type Gym Leader truly lives up to his reputation as a Gym Leader who can rival Sabrina for the position.

His command ability is still very strong.

They immediately grasped the key point of this battle.

They're going to take on ten opponents at once!

Then conventional combat methods will obviously not work.

Therefore, strengthening the push team is a very common approach.

The Enhancement Fist is a perfect fit for the fighting style of a team that focuses on strengthening push teams.

[Enhanced Fist: Power 50, but gains +1 Attack Power after attacking]

With a single punch, the cat boss was severely injured, but still retained a sliver of strength.

It's unclear whether the dojo owner did it intentionally or accidentally.

With these two enhanced punches, the monster easily defeated the cat boss, and its attack power increased by 2.

After defeating the cat boss, Mighty went on to defeat three more Pokémon.

After all, these three Pokémon are only level 30 to 38, and they are no match for the +2 Attack power of the monster.

"Hehe~ It seems this test isn't too difficult. Let's just go for it and pass it in one go!"

At this point, not only has the attack power increased by 6, but the Mighty Phantom has also defeated 6 Pokémon in a row, and even its HP is still full.

Although maintaining +6 attack power is quite a burden.

But this also gave this fighting-style gym leader unlimited room for imagination.

But at that moment, the appearance of the seventh Pokémon in the level, a level 41 Natu, caused the Fighting Gym Leader to show a physical disgust.

"What a disgusting Psychic-type Pokémon!"

But that wasn't all that disgusted him!

The natural bird immediately flew into the air after its appearance, then flapped its wings at the monstrous strength and used an unusual technique.

It's a skill that doesn't even have any power, but it can severely damage someone with superhuman strength!

"Black mist?!"

[Black Mist: A status move that dispels all buffs from the target Pokémon upon hit!]

All the hard work he put in to build up his +6 attack power vanished in an instant!

Chapter 138 A Shameless Alliance! Shakira's Battle for Fame!

“I…I…”

Seeing the +6 physical attack that I had painstakingly built up with Might vanish completely in an instant.

Even the most honest person can't withstand such a blow!

If it weren't for the fact that everyone sitting around him was a big shot in the league and a master of the eight major martial arts dojos, this unfortunate martial arts dojo master would have had to swallow his endless grievances.

After losing its super-high attack power boost, Super Strength can no longer instantly kill opponents.

Furthermore, the natural bird's noble flight and psychic attributes completely counter the flightless monsters.

Furthermore, this natural bird also knew that even with its superior dual attributes, it was unlikely to be a match for a monster.

So from the very beginning of the battle, he stayed in the sky, constantly using ranged attacks to wear down Machamp. Even when Machamp managed to jump up and was about to get close, he would still manage to get close.

However, the natural bird instantly teleported away and widened the distance again.

The main strategy is to play defensively and wear down opponents.

Machamp is already tough enough against Natu, but this Natu's tactics are so... disgusting.

In addition, there was the black mist at the beginning.

This set of simple moves was something even the honest and unassuming martial arts gym owner couldn't handle.

Even Fang Yuan, who enjoys using dirty tricks, couldn't help but shake his head after seeing this.

"The people in the league are disgusting. I do this with the lights off!"

"Mega Strength! Mind's Eye + Rock Edge!"

In the very end, the fighting gym leader unleashed his trump card, a combination of Mind's Eye and Rock Edge, finally defeating that utterly disgusting Nargacuga.

[Mind's Eye: Helps users lock onto opponents, significantly increasing hit rate.]

"Great! Great! We finally won!"

Seeing Natu rendered unable to fight, the Fighting Gym Leader and Machamp almost hugged each other and wept bitterly.

However, correspondingly, although the superhuman strength won, he was also covered in injuries and his physical strength was severely depleted.

Seeing the incredible strength, the league referee couldn't help but ask another question.

Do you still want to continue the challenge?

Upon hearing the referee's words, the Fighting-type gym leader immediately stood up and nodded.

"Of course we'll continue! There are only fallen martial artists! There are never any martial artists who admit defeat!"

Right after the Fighting-type Gym Leader finished speaking, Shiba stood up and clapped enthusiastically.

"Good! Not bad, kid. I admire your spirit! We can spar sometime in the future!"

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty King Shiba!"

The dojo owner's face immediately lit up with delight.

'I really didn't expect such a surprise!'

'If I could receive guidance from King Shiba, I'd be willing to fight a thousand more Nargacuga!'

At that moment, many of the ordinary dojo owners around also showed envious expressions.

"Come on, come on! No matter who my next opponent is, I will definitely defeat you! I will prove my strength to Lord Shiba!"

Just as the Fighting Gym Leader and Machamp were burning with fighting spirit, the eighth Pokémon in the gauntlet battle officially made its appearance!

A level 45 natural bird flew out and replaced the level 43 natural bird in the battle.

Upon seeing this, the martial arts gym owner turned green with rage.

"No way?! One wild bird is one thing, but what's with this even higher-level wild bird?!"

“I #……￥%”

Even swearing requires timing.

Faced with a second, higher-level Nargacuga, the already weakened Machamp was ultimately unable to fight against its type advantage.

They failed before the eighth level.

At this moment, Shiba looked at the fighting gym owner who couldn't help but curse and thought of...

'This kid may look big and burly, but his character isn't quite there yet; he needs more polishing.'

.......

After the mentally broken fighting gym leader stepped down, several other gym leaders stepped forward to challenge him.

But the result was not as good as that of the Fighting-style gym leader.

Faced with the league's various targeted choices, apart from that fighting gym leader, the best performer only fell in the seventh stage.

It's truly heartbreaking.

Many dojo owners couldn't help but complain.

"The challenges arranged by the League are getting harder and harder. Is there really anyone who can win against ten Pokémon that have a natural advantage over them?"

"I guess it's just the two of them, right?"

The dojo owners present all turned their attention to Fang Yuan and Ma Zhiqi.

At this moment, Ma Zhiqi was full of confidence in the face of this challenge.

Because Ma Zhiqi has a top-tier Pokémon with a level of 55!

Based on the current levels of the Pokémon appearing, the eighth stage features level 45 Pokémon, the ninth stage generally features around level 48, and even the final boss is only level 50.

Stuck between the elite peak and the dojo master level.

Ma Zhiqi was confident that he could win by relying on his trump card.

"Fang Yuan, have you seen enough? Now you understand the rules, right? If you don't go, I will."

"After all, I don't want some people who only know how to rely on some messy systems and have no real strength..."

Before Ma Zhiqi could finish speaking, he suddenly felt several murderous gazes from the audience.

Nazi, Qiao Yixue, Xiaochun and the others all silently watched Ma Zhiqi, but their eyes were not very friendly.

Ma Zhiqi touched the back of his neck, which suddenly felt a little cold.

Before he could even process what had happened, Fang Yuan completely ignored Ma Zhiqi, took a deep breath, and walked onto the arena, saying...

"Fang Yuan, Gym Leader of Songzao Dojo, is here to challenge me!"

Seeing Fang Yuan step into the arena to challenge, Shiba, who had been yawning with boredom because the average strength of the gym leaders who were going to compete was a bit weak, widened his eyes.

He tugged at Kikuko beside him and said...

"Senior Kikuko, look! Those juniors you valued have finally made their move."

Meanwhile, as Fang Yuan stepped onto the stage, the surrounding crowd widened their eyes and focused their attention.

Since Shinji and his trio still had a match to play, only Tsubaki and Shizuku remained at the Matsumo Gym, cheering them on from the sidelines.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were also there.
