The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

Although Fang Yuan was curious as to why Cynthia was so interested in his childhood betrothal, he didn't think much of it.

Just take it as Cynthia's gossipy nature.

After all, who would have thought that his usually unreliable father would say he had found him a childhood sweetheart, who turned out to be Sinnoh champion Cynthia?

How could something that only exists in novels happen to me?

Fang Yuan thought for a moment, and the first person he thought of was Naz, then Qiao Yixue, and then...

Fang Yuan stroked his chin and said

"I don't know either, but since we've gotten along, maybe there's a chance we can make it last?"

"However, I still prefer free love to an arranged marriage."

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Cynthia slowly stood up, her perfect and enviable figure not being completely concealed even by the oversized trench coat.

Cynthia looked at Fang Yuan, a smile appearing on her beautiful face, and said...

“Master Fang… no, Fang Yuan, you are truly interesting.”

"Interesting?" Looking at Fang Yuan, who seemed completely bewildered, Cynthia lowered her head. She really wanted to tell Fang Yuan about their identities.

Then I saw the other person's jaw drop in astonishment.

But then Cynthia thought that it might be better to talk about these things slowly.

Just imagining Fang Yuan's expression after he finds out about this makes Cynthia incredibly excited.

Just then, the shrine slowly opened its eyes and let out a faint cry.

Upon hearing the rabbi's voice, Fang Yuan instinctively wanted to stand up.

However, Fang Yuan was too exhausted, and in the end, it was Cynthia who reached out and helped him up.

"Master Fang, please be careful."

Feeling the warmth from his arm, Fang Yuan nodded.

Fang Yuan walked to Celebi's side, looked at the extremely weak Celebi, and said with some helplessness.

"How did you manage to get infected so easily?"

The rabbi also wanted to tell her that he didn't know why, but in the end he lowered his head with some guilt.

Fang Yuan rubbed Shirabi's head and said

"It's okay, I'm not blaming you."

Fang Yuan took a deep breath, glanced around, and looked at the forest path that had been reduced to ruins.

"Let's set off as soon as possible."

Moreover, after the chaos just now, the original dozen or so prisoners were reduced to two or three.

Taking them along wouldn't be a big problem.

Fang Yuan nodded as he looked at the Swampert and the floating bubbles.

"Let's go. If nothing unexpected happens, the rest of the journey shouldn't be too dangerous."

Finally, Fang Yuan looked at Cynthia and said...

"Could I take up a little of your time?"

Cynthia looked at the polite Fang Yuan and smiled helplessly.

"I happen to be free anyway, so I'll just take this route since it's on my way."

And so, the group once again embarked on their journey to find the sacred lake of the Shirabbi clan.

And just as Fang Yuan said.

The second half of the journey went exceptionally smoothly. Not only were there no dangers or enemies, but even the forest spirits, upon seeing Fang Yuan and his companions, or more precisely, the Celebi in Fang Yuan's arms, all became guides.

They led Fang Yuan to a lake.

When Fang Yuan and his group arrived at the lake,

Swampert was the first to react, turning its head.

One of the three sacred beasts representing the north wind and purification, Ho-Oh's human messenger, the noble Suicune, stood on a protruding rock along with the north wind.

"It's...it's Suicune! How can there be such a cool Water-type Pokémon in the world?!"

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang felt as if they were in a dream. They not only met Celebi and Latias, but now they even met the legendary Suicune!

Suicune leaped into the air and landed in front of Fang Yuan and Cynthia.

However, when Suicune passed by Swampert, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.

For some reason, Suicune felt a strange sense of familiarity with Swampert.

But it wasn't so familiar; it was filled with desolation and an ancient atmosphere!

Suijun shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

After all, he was just helping out this time; he wasn't the main character.

Suijun swiftly touched the lake water three times, and the water, which was originally covered with silt and withered leaves, instantly became clear.

Fang Yuan gently placed the weakened Seraphim into the sacred lake before him.

Then a dazzling golden light slowly shone forth.

In mid-air, countless shurabi emerged from the golden light and surrounded Fang Yuan and the shurabi.

The ceremony for the rabbi's succession to the divine position has officially begun!

Chapter 201 Nine-Tailed Fox, Restored!

Looking at the Celebis surrounding him and the Celebi like angels, Fang Yuan was somewhat speechless.

“The way you’re all surrounding me and the Silabhi makes it seem like I’m going to heaven.”

"Although I feel I should go to heaven after I die, I can't go to heaven now."

Fang Yuan looked at the shrines surrounding him and said.

Seeing countless Spirals surrounding Fang Yuan, Ash, Gary, and the others all wore expressions of immense envy.

"As expected of my master."

Upon seeing this scene, Yukinari Ohki was suddenly inspired and quickly took out his paintbrush and cardboard to draw the scene before him.

Even Cynthia, who had explored countless ruins, showed amazement and envy in her eyes after seeing this scene.

Celebi, who was in Fang Yuan's arms, instantly recovered from his old age, and his aura continued to surge, with his level rising steadily from level 40.

Fang Yuan watched with great envy.

At this moment, the shaman slowly opened his eyes and circled around Fang Yuan with a joyful expression.

Then the rabbi made a strange gesture with his hands, and then gently tapped Fang Yuan's head with his small, emerald-green hands.

Fang Yuan immediately felt his body, which had been completely drained of energy, rapidly recovering.

Tokiwa's power, which had remained unchanged for a long time, has become much stronger at a visible rate.

Even the mental power in Fang Yuan's mind was slowly growing stronger.

Although it's still nothing compared to Sabrina's superpowers, she has successfully entered the realm of intermediate-level superpowered individuals, and can do quite a few things besides the most basic telepathy.

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have received Celebi's blessing. Tokiwa's power has been enhanced, your superpowers have been enhanced, and your physical attributes have been improved.]

Then Celebi flew over Ash, Gary, and Oak and gently tapped their little hands.

A green light screen quickly restored everyone's physical strength and energy.

Wow! This feels so good.

"Thank you, Shrambi."

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang looked at the green light screen in the sky and greeted Silavi with smiles.

Celebi looked at Cynthia and Garchomp beside her, and shrank back in fear.

But in the end, Cynthia and Garchomp were also given a little blessing from the forest.

As for the few Team Rocket prisoners who were still alive at the end...

The rabbi gave them a look of disgust.

Fang Yuan could clearly see through the system that they all had been afflicted with a curse effect of the forest's aversion.

Celebi looked at Fang Yuan, put his hands on his hips, and showed a very proud little expression, as if he was showing off his abilities.

Fang Yuan reached out his hand to touch the shrine.

But then Fang Yuan thought again, Celebi is now considered a forest god, so is it not appropriate to pat his head like this?

Just as Fang Yuan hesitated, Shirabi looked at Fang Yuan's hand that was hanging in mid-air, puffed up her little face angrily, and then quickly put her head into Fang Yuan's hand.

"You little guy."

Clearly, even if Celebi becomes the god of the forest, he is still just Celebi.

However, at this moment, Fang Yuan quickly took out Ninetales' Poké Ball and looked at Celebi, saying...

"Celebi, one of my Pokémon is in the same situation as you. Can you help me heal her?"

While inside the Poké Ball, Ninetales heard that Fang Yuan still remembered her and that he had asked Celebi a question in this state, and Ninetales felt her heart pounding wildly.

Although a long, long time ago, even at their first meeting, Fang Yuan had promised to help the Nine-Tailed Fox return to normal.

But when that day finally arrived, Nine-Tailed Fox felt that her fox life, which had been stagnant for hundreds of years and trapped in the old house, was finally beginning to flow again.

No, it started flowing from the moment he met Fang Yuan!

Nine-Tails leaped out of the Poké Ball, clinging to Fang Yuan, tears streaming down its face no matter how hard it wiped them away.

"Master, thank you, thank you, I... I really like you so much!"

Looking at the Nine-Tails rambling incoherently, Fang Yuan's lips curled into a faint smile. He reached out and wiped away the tears streaming down the Nine-Tails' face.

"This is what I should do, and it's what I promised you."

Fang Yuan looked at the shrub and said

"Is it alright, Shri?"

When the shrine brigade heard Fang Yuan's request, he hesitated for the first time.

Just then, a somewhat aged voice appeared.

"Come in. It's been hundreds of years since I've seen such a love between a human and an elf."

Fang Yuan heard the aged voice and wanted to explain that this was not a love between a human and an elf, but just the Nine-Tailed Fox's wishful thinking.

However, it's all for the sake of the Nine-Tails.

Fang Yuan gritted his teeth.

Fang Yuan glanced back at the crowd on the shore and silently prayed in his heart.

"They can't hear anything, they can't hear anything, otherwise my lifelong reputation would be ruined!"

Meanwhile, on the shore, Cynthia looked at the Nine-Tails who had suddenly appeared, hugging Fang Yuan and weeping bitterly, and said in great surprise...

"What's going on with that woman? How did she get out of Gym Leader Fang's Poké Ball?"

Upon hearing Cynthia's question, everyone present was stunned and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

This question seems strange no matter how you look at it.

In the end, it was Xiao Mao who had a brilliant idea.

"It's the Nine-Tails! The Nine-Tails is an elf that has lived for hundreds of years. It took this form to commemorate its deceased master!"

"The master saw that the other party was pitiful, so he did not force the other party to return to the original state."

Hearing what Shirley said, Cynthia felt a little strange, but she nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Just then, within the golden halo in mid-air, a shurabi that looked very old slowly appeared in front of Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan subconsciously opened the system panel.
