The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

Because the person standing in front of her was Fang Yuan, the master of the Songzao Dojo.

Fang Yuan was carefully listening to the conversation between the two people inside while he was pressed against the wall, completely bewildered by the sudden appearance of Qiao Yixue.

Both sides couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Why are you here?"

Especially Xiao Mao and Xiao Wen, their eyes widened instantly when they saw the elf next to Qiao Yixue.

"La...Latias!"

"Am I seeing things? Miss Joy, is the elf next to you Latias?!"

Looking at the chaotic situation, Fang Yuan's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Are you sure this is a police station, and not District 13? How can just anyone walk in?"

"And how did you get in?" Qiao Yixue couldn't help but ask back.

However, this was a police station, not District 13, so they still had a basic response time. Soon, staff noticed the sounds Fang Yuan and his group were making.

"Who is there?!"

Upon hearing Officer Jenny's voice, Xiaowen and Xiaomao's faces turned panicked.

Trespassing on police stations is a serious offense.

Moreover, Officer Jenny entered very quickly, leaving them no time to evacuate through the tunnel.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan quickly found a way to break the deadlock.

Fang Yuan grabbed Qiao Yixue's hand and pulled her up from the ground.

With a strong pull from Fang Yuan, Qiao Yixue fell directly into his arms.

Faced with this sudden change, Qiao Yixue blushed slightly, then said...

"What are you going to do?"

Fang Yuan held Qiao Yixue's snow-white hand and said

"Hehe, you came in by teleporting, right? Now, sorry, but could you please take us out with you?"

"After all, you wouldn't want others to know you trespassed into a police station, would you?"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Qiao Yixue's chest heaved violently because of him, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

Qiao Yixue took a deep breath and said

"Latias, take everyone out with you."

Upon hearing Joyce's words, Ladia gathered her strength for a moment, and then blue energy enveloped everyone.

A second before Miss Officer Jenny entered, the four people vanished instantly, leaving only an empty room.

Miss Officer Jenny arrived and, looking at the empty room, said with some confusion.

"Did I hear wrongly?"

The scene shifts, and Fang Yuan and the other three appear in the alleyway where they started.

After such a thrilling scene, both Xiao Mao and Xiao Wen felt their hearts leap into their throats.

However, Xiao Mao and Xiao Wen quickly remembered something.

Looking at the red and white Latias in front of them, which resembled a supersonic aircraft, Xiao Mao and Xiao Wen's hearts pounded with nervousness.

Seeing Xiaowen and Xiaomao's appearance, Latias seemed a little shy. He turned transparent again and disappeared from the spot.

Xiao Mao's face was filled with regret.

"This is the legendary Latias! I wish I could take a picture of it."

Just when Xiao Mao was feeling full of regret.

On the other side, Fang Yuan and Qiao Yixue were still embracing each other.

Feeling the broad, strong shoulders and chest of the man, Qiao Yixue didn't know why, but her heart was beating faster than it was in the police station.

Even Qiao Yixue's hand was being held by Fang, making the atmosphere between the two extremely ambiguous.

"I've brought you out, can you let go now?"

Qiao Yixue lowered her head and said something softly.

Fang Yuan looked at Qiao Yixue and suddenly remembered his unreliable father's drunken ramblings.

"Sigh~ Son, let me tell you, don't be fooled by how similar the Joey clan members look. There are actually physical differences. If the Joey clan didn't only accept men who marry into the family, you might not exist, hahaha..."

Fang Yuan looked at Qiao Yixue in his arms and slowly released his grip.

For some reason, Qiao Yixue felt a little reluctant to see Fang Yuan leave.

At this moment, in the alley, the four people stared at each other, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

Finally, Fang Yuan spoke first.

"How about we go to a nearby coffee shop and chat for a bit?"

Fang Yuan also glanced at the empty sky and said...

"Latias, come along too."

To Fang Yuan's surprise, Qiao Yixue chose to refuse, lowering her head and saying softly...

"Excuse me, I have some things to attend to at the Pokémon Center, so I have to go now."

Fang Yuan felt a pang of regret as he watched Qiao Yixue leave.

Xiao Mao looked at Fang Yuan and asked...

"Master, shall we go to the coffee shop again?"

Fang Yuan stroked his chin and said

"Actually, I remember there was instant coffee in the dojo, so drinking that is the same."

Three question marks flashed above Xiao Mao's head.

Xiaowen looked at Fang Yuan with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Fang Yuan looked at Xiao Wen and said with some helplessness.

"Can you please stop thinking such dirty thoughts about your gym leader? I'm only doing this to avoid being caught by Officer Jenny."

"Then what are you going to do now?"

After returning to the dojo, Xiaowen didn't look Fang Yuan in the eye, but finally couldn't hold back and asked him.

Fang Yuan was also somewhat shocked after hearing Meng Hua's plan.

But this was somewhat within Fang Yuan's expectations.

The only thing Fang Yuan hadn't expected was that these people arrived so early.

Almost immediately after his cheap father left, someone set their sights on the Matsuzo Dojo, clearly indicating that someone was paying close attention to the change of dojo master.

It's highly unlikely that a local family could obtain this kind of information so quickly...

Fang Yuan made several guesses in his mind, but he couldn't be sure.

However, looking at Xiaowen who seemed like a punching bag, Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"What to do? Of course, things will work themselves out in the end."

Seeing Fang Yuan's nonchalant attitude, Xiao Wen was so angry she wanted to bite him.

But in the end, he just turned his head away and said...

"Anyway, you're the gym leader. If something really happens, I can just find another gym to intern at."

Just as Fang Yuan and Xiao Wen were arguing.

Xiao Mao also brought his freshly brewed instant coffee to Fang Yuan and the others.

Hearing Xiaowen's words, Xiaomao replied matter-of-factly.

"With Master's abilities, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to deal with their challenges?"

"Moreover, there's Bangiras there too."

Hearing Xiao Mao's words, especially his matter-of-fact tone, Fang Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha~ That's right, there's no other way but to believe in yourself in this situation."

Just after Xiao Mao finished speaking, a long-lost notification sound suddenly popped up in Fang Yuan's mind.

[Ding~ Host's disciple Xiao Mao's exclusive mission progress +5%, Host receives reward: Evolution Potion x2]

[Ding! Xiao Mao's exclusive mission rewards have been updated.]

[Rebuilding our original aspirations, completion rate 40%, next stage reward: Limit Potion x1]

Looking at the two evolution potions placed in the system space, Fang Yuan couldn't help but smile wildly.

"I'm getting closer and closer to my dual-trait Tyranitar."

"What are you saying, Master?"

Looking at Xiao Mao, Fang Yuan waved his hand and said...

"Why drink instant coffee? Let's go, Master will take us to eat hot pot today!"

"Thank you, master!"

Looking at the two of them, Xiaowen shook her head helplessly.

Just after Fang Yuan and Xiao Mao left the gym, three 'primitive men' with canes in their hands trudged into Matsumo City on a secluded path.

All the residents who saw these three primitive people along the way frowned.

At this moment, a golden elf was perched on the shoulder of one of the primitive men.

Based on its cry, it's not hard to identify this golden sprite.

The identities of these three people are then obvious.

"Ash! We've finally reached the next town."

"Curry rice, omelet rice, and my sweet, soft bed, here I come!"

These three cavemen-like creatures are Ash and his two companions, who have been lost in the nearby forest for a long time.

They finally arrived in Matsumo City.

However, unlike the trio of Xiao Zhi who resembled cavemen, Fang Yuan was taking Xiao Mao and Xiao Wen to a newly opened hot pot restaurant nearby.

"Meow Meow Hot Pot Restaurant?"

Fang Yuan looked at the name of the hot pot restaurant and suddenly felt that it was somewhat familiar.

In particular, there is a small "P" next to this hot pot restaurant, but it looks more like a shortened version of the letter R than the letter P.

"Master, what's wrong with this hot pot restaurant?"

Xiao Mao said something that sounded rather strange.

Fang Yuan smiled and said

"nothing."

Fang Yuan pushed open the door, and a man and a woman, along with a cat dressed as a bridge paw, stood in front of him and greeted him.

"Welcome to Meow Meow Hot Pot Restaurant, meow~"

And this man, woman, and cat are the villains who appear the most times in the entire Pokémon anime!

Musashi, Nyan Nyan, Kojiro!

Clearly, Team Rocket, unable to find Ash, decided to open a shop in a nearby city to raise funds, and that's when they ran into Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan glanced at Miao Miao's skill panel with great curiosity.

After all, in the entire Pokémon anime, aside from legendary Pokémon, there are very few Pokémon that can talk.
