The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

The floating bubble nodded.

After flying into the air, FloatBubble watched Ursaring and Team Rocket fighting on the ground.

Seeing the Ursaring under attack, Bubble used Thunder, instantly wiping out the Team Rocket members it was commanding.

Without their trainer's guidance, the scattered Pokémon posed no threat to Ursaring. Ursaring used two Slash attacks to defeat the Pokémon.

He nodded at the bubbles floating in mid-air.

Seeing the increasing number of Team Rocket members in the distance, Floating Bubble didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly flew back to Fang Yuan's side to tell him what was happening.

"What do we do now, Master?"

Should we continue?

Everyone turned their attention to Fang Yuan, who was now the pillar of support for everyone present.

Fang Yuan listened to the roars of the elves and the sounds of battle rising and falling all around him.

He hesitated for less than a second before speaking.

"Here, we will wipe out the invading Team Rocket."

"Why, Master?"

"Yes, wouldn't it be better to keep moving forward now?"

Fang Yuan shook his head and said

"The entire forest is now enraged. Nobody knows how strong the Pokémon at the heart of this forest is. If we rashly rush in, and a Champion-level Pokémon runs out like in the Venusaur Forest, we'll be in big trouble."

"Even if there are no powerful wild Pokémon deep in the forest, I don't want to be surrounded by a group of Team Rocket when I inherit power in Celebi and open Lake Celebi."

Everyone immediately realized that what Fang Yuan said made perfect sense.

Fang Yuan looked at Ash, Gary, and Oak, and finally rubbed Celebi's head on his shoulder and said...

"Furthermore, as League Trainers, how can we just stand by and watch Team Rocket do whatever they want to ordinary Pokémon?"

"Master is right."

Xiaogang, Xiaoxia, and Da Mu Xuecheng exchanged glances.

"That's right, we have no reason to let the Rockets do whatever they want."

Fang Yuan patted the floating bubbles beside him.

"Thank you for your hard work. May this forest receive a downpour."

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Floating Bubble happily flew into the sky, the Dragon Ball in its chest shining brightly.

In just a few minutes, a dark cloud covered most of the forest.

Seeing the incredibly large dark clouds gather in the sky in just a few minutes, Ooki Yukinari stared in shock, unable to help but gasp.

"All of this was done by that tiny floating bubble?"

"This isn't just a downpour, it's a natural disaster!"

Unlike the shocked Yukinari Oki, the others present had witnessed such scenes more than once before.

"The floating bubbles are gathering into dark clouds at an increasingly faster rate."

"It's my turn, the water beauty, to make my appearance!"

"Fighting in the rain, Master, will increase your combat power by at least 30%."

Shigeru and Misty, who have now become rain trainers, are thrilled.

"Pikachu, Squirtle, Pidgeotto, Bulbasaur, prepare for battle!"

Even Ash has quite a few Pokémon that excel in rain battles.

On the other hand, Xiao Gang looked at the heavy rain in the sky and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

If it's a rainy day, Xiao Gang would be lucky to be able to unleash even 30% of his full strength.

Fang Yuan naturally noticed Xiao Gang's predicament as well.

He took out Shakira's Poké Ball.

"Shakira, the left side is yours. The forest there is sparser, so your sandstorm can be used to its fullest potential."

"Xiao Gang, go and fight alongside Shakira."

Xiao Gang glanced gratefully at Fang Yuan, but when he saw Shakira's black and red armor, he was so excited he almost drooled, silently thinking to himself...

"It shouldn't be too hard to get a Larvitar at the Pewter Gym, right?"

Finally, Fang Yuan turned his gaze to Ooki Yukinari.

"Xuecheng, I remember you only had one Charizard..."

Although Yukinari Oki found it strange that the curator of the Fangyuan Pavilion knew that he had a Charizard.

But he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he took out two Poké Balls and released a well-trained Kangaskhan and a Dragonair, saying...

"It's alright, I also have Pokémon that can fight in the rain."

Fang Yuan nodded.

A thunderous boom followed.

It rained heavily.

"Huh, why is it suddenly raining?"

"I don't know, but who cares? The rain won't stop us from finding the shrine."

......

As the heavy rain fell, just as all the elves were about to set off, another scene that shocked Yukinari Ooki occurred.

Before all the elves stood a giant swamp monster, its arms thicker than tree trunks, its height exceeding three meters, its entire body covered in azure skin, and emanating an aura of primordial chaos.

"What kind of Pokémon is this?! Why have I never seen one like it before! And this Pokémon looks like a Swampert!"

Seeing the utterly shocked Oki Yukinari, Fang Yuan smiled slightly.

Then Fang Yuan patted the Super Swampert on the shoulder and said...

"Go ahead, in this rainy weather, no elf can withstand a single blow from you."

The Mega Swampert nodded, revealing a faint smile in the astonished gaze of Yukinari Oki.

Oki Yukinari only saw a blue afterimage before the enormous swamp monster burst forth with a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to its size.

Meanwhile, the other Pokémon weren't idle either; they all rushed out and launched an attack on Team Rocket in the forest.

And after releasing this incredibly powerful Swampert, Fang Yuan didn't rest. He took out two more Poké Balls.

"Go, Kingdra, Poliwrath!"

Two more rainy-day generals have emerged.

And the last Poké Ball.

"Scizor, you go too."

A level 52 scyther looked at Fang Yuan, nodded, and transformed into a streak of red lightning, charging out.

This giant Scizor is the same Scizor that Fang Yuan caught for the Gym Leader's Pokémon.

After Fang Yuan promised to provide the Scizor's wife and children with better food and shelter, this proud Zerg warrior was willing to fight for Fang Yuan.

"Master, Master, what about me?"

He heard the expectant voice of the Nine-Tails in his mind.

"Your job is to protect the trainers' safety."

"Yes, Master! I will protect you closely."

Fang Yuan looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox clinging tightly to him and sighed helplessly.

However, because the Nine-Tailed Fox was holding him, the raindrops were evaporated into water vapor by a wisp of flame before they could even get close to Fang Yuan.

And this flame is the flame of the Moltres.

I wonder what Moltres would think if it saw its flames being used as an umbrella by Nine-Tailed Fox.

Chapter 195 Unexpected Gain, Fang Yuan VS Bishas

"A monster!"

Amidst the torrential rain, despair filled the eyes of the three Rockets players.

They were initially excited because they found three Mudkip in the forest, after all, Mudkip is one of the starter Pokémon in the League.

Moreover, due to some unknown reasons recently, the price of Mudkip on the black market has skyrocketed, making it the most expensive starter Pokémon in the Kanto region, bar none.

Just when they thought they were about to make a fortune.

The nightmare has begun.

In the heavy rain, they couldn't even see who their opponent was; they could only see a blue figure rushing past, and then their several Pokémon would immediately lose their ability to fight.

Whether it was their captain's ace Pokémon, a level 38 tank Skunk, or any other Pokémon, they were all instantly killed by the opponent's punch.

The terrifying disparity in strength made them feel utterly hopeless.

"You! Come out! Come out now! What kind of person are you, hiding your head and tail like this!"

Seemingly because of their words, the sprite, as swift as blue lightning, slowly emerged from the shade of a tree.

However, contrary to their expectations, this Pokémon was not the slender Pokémon known for its speed.

Instead, there was a terrifying being over three meters tall, with forearms thicker than their bodies!

In particular, the primitive and wild feeling emanating from this elf that resembled a giant swamp monster made them smell the scent of death!

Just as they turned to run away, the giant swamp monster didn't even bother to grab them. With a slight exertion of its hands, the once solid ground slowly turned into a muddy mess.

The three Rockets players were swallowed by the mud in terror.

After defeating its opponent, Swampert looked at the river behind it and let out a soft roar.

The three small fins stood up.

Three adorable Mudkip looked up at Swampert with longing expressions.

On the other side, there was only endless yellow sand.

Team Rocket was completely baffled as to why a sandstorm would suddenly erupt in the forest.

At this moment, a red and black figure, carrying countless yellow sands, roared past like a heavy truck, leaving dead and wounded wherever it went.

Moreover, whether it's a sandstorm or a downpour, Team Rocket members can be easily found by Floating Bubbles and Shakira whenever they're in the area.

Fang Yuan, on the other hand, acted as a relay station, using his psychic abilities and Tokiwa's power to relay the information they knew to everyone/Pokémon present, ensuring that no Team Rocket member could escape the encirclement.

Swampert, Sandgill, Gary, Misty, Ash, and others battled in an area with an advantage.

In just over twenty minutes, more than half of the Rockets players had fallen to their hands.

Mega Swampert, in particular, is a deadly killer in the rainy forest. Many Team Rocket trainers are turned into ice sculptures before their Pokémon even have a chance to react.

That blue figure became a nightmare for countless Rockets players.

A short while later, the group, panting heavily, returned to their original spot and reunited with Fang Yuan.

Moreover, the Mega Swampert didn't return alone; three Mudkip were peering out from its back at Fang Yuan.

"Hey, Swampert, where did you find your little fanboy? Oh wait, I mean, little fangirl?"

Looking at the honest and unassuming Swampert, Fang Yuan smiled and said nothing. He took out a Poké Ball and had Swampert keep the three Mudkip inside for the time being.

After all, Swampert is one of the main forces in the upcoming battle, and it won't have time to take care of the kids.

In this battle, Oak, Gary, and Ash developed a fighting friendship, and all three returned with satisfied smiles on their faces.

However, unlike Swampert and his friends, Ash and his friends brought back a few survivors.

The captured Team Rocket members showed no panic whatsoever, instead looking at Ash and the others with arrogance.

"What are you looking at? Release me right now!"
