The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

Furthermore, Cynthia and Sabrina are somewhat different.

Because Cynthia has to stand for long periods of time every day in battle and frequently goes to the Ruins, her legs look more bouncy and have better lines.

Naza, on the other hand, rarely exercises, so her skin is even softer, almost like it's made of water...

However, it must be said that Cynthia truly deserves to be a regional champion; even in this situation, she didn't yell or scream.

She simply turned around and picked up the trench coat beside her.

Under Fang Yuan's regretful gaze, he put on the trench coat, which completely obscured the original boundless scenery.

Fang Yuan sighed softly, and it was this sigh that made Cynthia completely lose her composure.

Cynthia walked over to Fang Yuan's side.

"Master Fang, let's pretend nothing happened today!"

Seeing Cynthia's slightly chilly expression, Fang Yuan gave a completely different answer.

Cynthia stared wide-eyed at Fang Yuan, and just as Fang Yuan was about to say something, Cynthia slowly took out Garchomp's Poké Ball.

Clearly, if Fang Yuan's reasons fail to convince Cynthia, she might resort to physical means to force him to change his answer.

"As a trainer, I can't lie to myself! What I saw, I saw!"

"But as a gentleman, I would never speak carelessly!"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Cynthia's expression froze. She hesitated for a long time, gritting her teeth, before finally sitting back down on the bed, letting Fang Yuan continue.

Fang Yuan's eyes were now filled with righteous indignation, making him seem like a completely different person from the guy who had been staring intently at him just moments before.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Fang Yuan slowly raised his head and said with a very serious expression.

"I'll take responsibility! I'm not the kind of man who just looks at someone and walks away!"

Cynthia was taken aback when she saw Fang Yuan's expression, then put away the Garchomp Poké Ball in her hand.

Just as Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, Cynthia rolled her eyes at him and said...

"Who asked you to take responsibility?"

"The people chasing me in Sinnoh could stretch from Kanto to Chengdu! It's not your place to be responsible."

Fang Yuan simply chuckled and did not refute.

However, when Fang Yuan firmly stated that he would take responsibility instead of leaving in a panic, Cynthia's expression softened considerably, becoming slightly more amiable from her initially cold demeanor.

Cynthia tightened her trench coat, but unfortunately, the coat was of excellent quality and the accident that had just happened was unlikely to occur.

"Alright, let's not talk about what just happened... Let's talk about what you said at the end?"

Cynthia's eyes sharpened, and she regained the domineering aura she possessed on the battlefield.

Do you know what the disappearance of Lord Arceus means?

Fang Yuan could only cross his legs and speak slowly.

"Does this mean the world will descend into chaos?"

"Since you know this is important, why don't you get to the point?!"

Cynthia rolled her eyes at Fang Yuan, somewhat blaming him for not saying so sooner, causing her to make such an embarrassing mistake late at night.

"There are too many people around during the day, so I don't think this kind of thing should be spread."

Fang Yuan then relayed everything that Shironi had told him to Cynthia.

After hearing Fang Yuan's description, Cynthia's expression changed repeatedly.

Because the implications of this matter were so significant that even Cynthia felt a slight tremor in her heart.

"I understand what you're saying, and I will verify it with the alliance."

"Then leave it to you."

Fang Yuan knew that verifying this matter shouldn't be particularly difficult given the alliance's capabilities.

Cynthia sighed softly and looked out the window.

"Sigh~ I really hope that day will come later."

Fang Yuan nodded in agreement.

After all, although the elven world is somewhat dark now and not a pure utopia, it is practically paradise on earth compared to the chaotic world to come.

The two people in the room then returned to sitting there blankly.

Cynthia looked at Fang Yuan and said slowly.

"Master Fang, is there anything else you wish to say?"

"No more, no more."

Fang Yuan scratched his head and then walked out the door.

As soon as Fang Yuan left, Cynthia suddenly pounced on the bed, hugging the blanket and rolling around on it frantically.

"I'm so angry! That guy saw me naked!"

"And you even said you'd take responsibility for me? Do I, the Sinnoh champion, need you to take responsibility? You're just being delusional!"

But as she was talking, Cynthia looked up at the ceiling and said...

"He should take responsibility, right?"

Cynthia's breathing became somewhat heavy.

Just then, Fang Yuan knocked on Cynthia's door again.

"W-What are you doing?!"

Cynthia nearly fell off the bed like a startled fawn.

"I just wanted to remind you not to wear wet clothes all the time, you'll catch a cold. If you need more clothes, you can tell me, I always keep plenty of clothes on hand."

"no need!"

"Okay then. I'll be leaving."

After saying that, Fang Yuan really left and went back to his room.

Cynthia sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at the bright moon outside the window, her expression complex, lost in thought.

Chapter 211 The Rockets' Beliefs!

Back in his room, Fang Yuan lay on the bed, his heart pounding with excitement!

"We've struck it rich! We've made a killing! I never imagined that just going to exchange information would lead to such a pleasant surprise!"

Moreover, Fang Yuan was confident that his answer tonight was absolutely correct. If he didn't take responsibility, Cynthia would definitely kick him out.

Fang Yuan knew very well that young girls might only care about being in love and not care about anything else.

But for mature, sophisticated women like Cynthia, it's not just about romance; it's more about trust, responsibility, and the future!

Fang Yuan lay on the bed and took a deep breath.

However, Fang Yuan remembered what Celebi had said, the promise he made tonight, Sabrina still brooding at the Goldenrod Gym, and Nurse Joy who had taken the blame for him...

There's also Swampert, Ninetales, Sandgill, Bubble, Vulpix, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and all the hungry Pokémon in the gym.

Fang Yuan suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

Fang Yuan stretched and said

"It's still quite early tonight, so let's finalize the initial draft of the training plan for the three little guys, then it'll be Shakira's evolution, Swampert's follow-up breeding plan, Ninetales and Vulpix..."

As Fang Yuan was writing, three people involuntarily came to mind.

"By the way, where did the Rockets trio go?"

After their plan to 'steal' the Olympic flame failed at the alliance's opening ceremony, Fang Yuan arranged for them to flee to the Chengdu area.

There has been no further news since then.

However, Fang Yuan believed that with the Rockets' trio's vitality, they were definitely still living a carefree life there.

And maybe they're near Charizard Valley, just waiting to catch Pikachu.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, in the border area between Chengdu and the Kanto region, the Team Rocket trio—Musashi, Meowth, and Kojiro—were lying in a patch of grass.

Looking at the dozens of gas bombs and Apollo snakes locked in cages in front of him.

Musashi and Kojiro's ace Pokémon, Apoko and Weezing, fell silent.

They were in a dilemma, torn between their trainers who treated them like family.

On the other side are their fellow tribesmen, imprisoned and awaiting sale...

Moreover, based on their observations over the past few days, the poacher was extremely powerful!

They even possess a Tyranitar and a Shakira, so their strength is at least at the elite level, around level 40.

Although, under Fang Yuan's training, both of their main players have reached level 30 or higher, which is equivalent to the level of a team captain in Team Rocket.

However, dealing with a fully armed poacher is still too difficult.

Just as the Rocket trio was hesitating, Musashi, the trio's spiritual leader, stepped forward and spoke.

"It's alright, ignore them, our target is the kid."

"And have you forgotten how the three of us almost got into trouble when we encountered poachers last time?"

Upon hearing Musashi's words, both Meowth and Kojiro nodded in silence.

"Then let's cut to the chase and report this to Officer Jenny. It's their job. Our goal is to catch that brat Pikachu!"

"That's how it is, meow!"

"Musashi, you're absolutely right!"

And so, the Rockets' trio decisively turned and left.

The three of them felt incredibly heavy-footed. They wanted to catch Pokémon too, but every time they saw the Arbok and Koffing in their cages with their expectant eyes...

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Jessie stood there stomping her feet in frustration, then pulled out an Apoko Poké Ball and said...

"Arbok! You were the one moving around inside the Poké Ball, weren't you?!"

Arbok stared at Jessie in shock, for he hadn't moved an inch inside the Poké Ball!

"You're so annoying! I'm so irritated right now!"

"Meow! Kojiro! Shall we go back and teach that damn guy a lesson?!"

"That's right, meow!"

"That's right, we're not here to save the elf, we just really don't like that guy!"

And so, the Rockets trio resolutely chose to turn back and teach that guy they didn't like a good lesson!

Hearing Kojiro and Musashi's words, Arbok and Double Egg Gas were moved to tears!

They understood everything. A large part of the reason why Musashi and the others were willing to rescue the trapped elves was because of them!

It's hard to call the Rockets' trio good people, but it's also hard to call them bad people.

--------

The next morning arrived.

Fang Yuan left his room early and saw Ji Ke, who was also up and working.

"Master Fang? Have you thought about what happened yesterday?"

In response to Ji Ke's question, Fang Yuan didn't waste any words and directly took out a Poké Ball.

The shimmering little fire dragon stood in front of Ji Ke.

"Master Fang, are you really determined to leave with the child?"
