The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

However, the Black Growlithe's smile soon faded.

.........

Twenty minutes later.

Houndoom was panting heavily in the torrential rain. Even though the Elite Four level Pokémon had immense stamina, it was the first to be severely injured by Latias.

After being besieged by a group of elves for so long, he also felt a serious lack of physical strength.

At this moment, the battered Swampert and Shakira seized the opportunity when Houndoom dodged the thunder, and the two Pokémon charged out at the same time.

It slammed into Houndoom and knocked it to the ground.

The giant swamp monster swung its fists and unleashed a barrage of punches.

But the feel of it always felt off, like I was hitting a piece of chewy taffy and couldn't get any power in.

Super Swampert simply used the ice from its Freeze Punch to fix Shakira to its fist.

Using Shakira as a boxing glove, he relentlessly punched Houndoom's injured abdomen.

Even so, it took Mega Swampert several punches to finally finish off Houndoom.

Looking at Houndoom, who had finally lost its ability to fight.

Kingdra, Poliwrath, and Scizor all cheered and jumped for joy, happy to have defeated a powerful enemy.

Only the battered Swampert, Shakira, and the completely drained, translucent floating bubbles gathered together.

His eyes were filled with loneliness.

They thought that with their fighting strength, ganging up on a heavily injured Houndoom would be no problem at all.

But reality slapped them hard in the face.

Just then, Fang Yuan noticed the three little ones looking somewhat dejected and said...

"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you guys mistaken about something?"

"I have a question for you. What level are you at now?"

Swampert counted on its fingers; its once bulging eyes during battle had now turned into beady eyes again.

"Fine, you should just stick to being a warrior."

Shakira answered first.

“Sha (I am level 43, Water Drop is level 44, and Big Guy is level 46).”

"You can remember it so clearly?"

Fang Yuan was somewhat surprised, while Shakira shook her body sheepishly.

"Every time someone leveled up, you would give me a lollipop, so I remember it very clearly."

......

"You glutton!"

Fang Yuan felt his head throb even more.

In the end, the floating bubble remained on Fang Yuan's head, signifying...

"(The Houndoom over there is at least level 63, we're almost 20 levels behind, and there's also the huge hurdle of the Elite Four, so it's normal to struggle a bit.)"

"That's exactly what I meant."

"And you think you're at your peak right now? Shakira, you haven't even evolved yet, and Swampert, how much of your Ancient form have you developed?"

"And there's the floating bubble, you weren't originally this kind of breakthrough-oriented Pokémon."

However, Fang Yuan was most at ease with the floating bubbles, and she also had the best mindset.

"And even a Houndoom that has become an Elite Four member is this strong. When you become Elite Four members, you will definitely be more than ten times stronger than him!"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Swampert and Shakira's eyes slowly lit up.

The eyes of the two elves, who had been somewhat lost due to their sudden surge in power, suddenly shone with a different kind of brilliance.

If their training effectiveness is 100% normally, then after this battle, Fang Yuan is certain that their training effectiveness will improve by at least 30%!

After all, without pressure, where does motivation come from?

Fang Yuan had Swampert bring Houndoom to Bishas's side.

Looking at the completely wiped-out elves of Bishas, ​​he coldly said...

"Bishas, ​​is there anything else you want to say now?"

Chapter 198 A man can’t say he is not good enough!

Fang Yuan sat on a rock, looking down at Bishas.

"Bishas, ​​is there anything else you want to say now?"

Bishas's hands were now bound with rope by Ooki Yukinari and the others, and he was pressed in front of Fang Yuan like a condemned prisoner about to be executed, awaiting trial.

At this moment, even the mask that Bishath never took off was ripped off by Ash, revealing his face.

At this moment, Bishas lowered his head and said softly.

"Fang Yuan, I lost this time, but I also know many of the Rockets' unspeakable secrets. We can join forces..."

Clearly, Bishas had not yet recovered from his crushing defeat, nor had he adapted to his status as a prisoner, and even wanted to negotiate with Fang Yuan.

Meanwhile, the captured Team Rocket members witnessed Fang Yuan send out Lalatias, and even Lord Bishas, ​​who regarded them as saviors, to be captured.

They were no longer as arrogant as before.

They stood in a row, all kowtowing vigorously to Fang Yuan.

"Lord Fang Yuan! We know we were wrong, please don't kill us!"

"Yes, Lord Fang Yuan, I was blind to your greatness just now..."

"Lord Fang Yuan! I also know of several Team Rocket bases in the Chengdu area. If you spare my life, I can take you there!"

"That's right, that's right, Lord Fang Yuan, I also know where Team Rocket's headquarters is in the Chengdu area. Just spare my life..."

A smile appeared on Fang Yuan's lips as he looked at the Rockets players kneeling before him, kowtowing repeatedly.

Then he slowly looked at Bishas and said...

"Bishas, ​​judging from the current situation, your proposal doesn't seem very sincere?"

Bishas's face darkened as he looked at his subordinates who were constantly lowering their standards to save their own lives, and he immediately became furious.

"Damn it! Can't you show some Rockets spirit?!"

Upon hearing Bishas's angry rebuke, the Rockets members who had been kowtowing suddenly froze.

At this moment, Bishasban knelt down in front of Fang Yuan and said with a fawning expression...

"Lord Fang... Lord Fang Yuan, I am the head of Team Rocket's headquarters in the Chengdu region. How could they possibly know more information than I do? So, if anyone is to be spared, it's my life."

"Damn it! You shameless bastard, Bishas!"

"Lord Fang Yuan, don't listen to him. I know a secret passage that leads directly to the Chengdu headquarters. Even Bishas doesn't know about it. Attacking Team Rocket's headquarters from there will definitely be twice as effective!"

"Lord Fang Yuan..."

Looking at the Rockets team fighting like dogs, Fang Yuan sighed helplessly.

"Alright, enough nonsense, Bishas, ​​tell me first, what is that thing you're wearing on Bangiras's head?"

Bishas looked at Fang Yuan and explained

"Lord Fang Yuan, this is Team Rocket's latest invention: a brainwave control device that can put Pokémon into a state of rage. It is Dr. Nanbo's latest research achievement!"

Fang Yuan nodded, then stomped the so-called brainwave control device to pieces.

"Alright, this should prevent the accidents that happened in the movie from happening again."

Fang Yuan remembered clearly that in the movie, the biggest villain was not actually Bishas, ​​but Celebi after it was controlled by Bishas's Dark Poké Ball.

After being controlled, Celebi displayed amazing fighting power in the forest. Fang Yuan estimated that Celebi's strength at that time should be close to the champion level.

The price for Celebi, who was only in his early forties, to unleash his Champion-level power was also devastating.

Celebi's life energy was drained, and his body became withered, aging as rapidly as the Nine-Tails.

Even after soaking in the holy spring in the middle of the Forest of Silavis, he was still unable to recover, his life was in danger, and he could even be said to be dead.

Just then, before being caught in the fishing net and still retaining its cool demeanor, Suicune, known as the embodiment of the North Wind, appeared.

With the help of the Water God, the water of Shramana's sacred lake was purified.

Sensing the death of the shurabi, the true sacred lake of the shurabi clan was revealed. It was a miracle caused by the overlapping of the sacred lakes of shurabi from countless times and spaces in the same time and space.

That special lake, rather than being a healing lake, is more like a time-reversal lake, instantly bringing someone to the brink of death, or even bringing a shrine in a dead state back to its best condition.

This kind of healing effect can only be achieved by the legendary Ho-Oh and Xerneas, the god of life, personally performing the treatment.

Fang Yuan clearly remembered that the scene of the rabbi's resurrection back then brought tears to the eyes of the audience.

If Celebi hadn't been resurrected in the end, GF would have received countless hate messages.

Knowing the plot, Fang Yuan naturally wanted to eliminate any possible cause for Celebi's rampage.

After all, Bisharp has now appeared with a large group of Rockets players.

If Suijun doesn't come when Celebi is on the verge of death, Fang Yuan will just sit and watch Celebi die.

Fang Yuan was unwilling to do something that was completely out of his control.

Furthermore, considering that Bitchas brought this Rockets team, the plot of these theatrical versions is not necessarily unchanging.

Therefore, Fang Yuan decided to be cautious.

First, take the rabbi safely to the side of the holy lake and see the effect.

Just as Fang Yuan was recalling the plot he had watched, all the Team Rocket prisoners knelt down in front of him, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

These Team Rocket prisoners knew very well that Fang Yuan wasn't as soft-hearted as the other kids.

They weren't the only ones who invaded this forest.

Aside from those who were lucky enough to be captured, the other team members have probably long since become nourishment for this forest.

It's hard for them not to be nervous when facing such a killing machine.

Even Bishas was starting to have some doubts.

"Fang Yuan wouldn't kill me, would he? He wouldn't, would he?"

After destroying the so-called brainwave control device, Fang Yuan hesitated as he looked at the group of Bishas in front of him.

Many of Team Rocket's prisoners have already been physically eliminated by Swampert and his crew, but there are still more than a dozen prisoners who have been captured.

Taking them along would firstly slow things down, and secondly, Fang Yuan didn't want to take a bunch of Rocket Team members to observe the holy lake of the shrine.

But if they stay where they are, these dozen or so Team Rocket members, plus Bisharts, the Elite Four level trainer, will be at risk.

Unless Fang Yuan personally guards the place, he wouldn't feel comfortable with any of the other people present guarding it.

"Sigh, corpses are definitely more convenient than prisoners."

Hearing Fang Yuan's mutterings, all the Team Rocket prisoners present, including Bishas, ​​broke out in a cold sweat.

Just when all the Rockets teams were focusing their attention on Fang Yuan.

Celebi, who had been perched on Fang Yuan's shoulder, seemed to have spotted something interesting and slowly flew towards Bishas's backpack.

Silabhi opened Bishas's backpack.

Inside was the special energy cube that Bishas intended to use as bait. This energy cube had undergone special research and was particularly effective at luring Grass-type and Psychic-type Pokémon.

Just as the gluttonous rabbi was about to indulge in his feast...

The anger control device placed in Bishas's bag activated on its own.

Looking at the device he had activated, Silavi felt completely bewildered.

"Master...Master! What's wrong with Celebi?"

Hearing Kurama's exclamation, Fang Yuan turned his head and saw Celebi with blood-red eyes, as well as the control device that had been activated to the side.
