The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

"Then I'm looking forward to it."

After waving goodbye to Fang Yuan, Cynthia mounted Garchomp and disappeared into the distant horizon.

Just after Fang Yuan waved goodbye to Cynthia.

From the bushes not far away, Xiao Mao quietly emerged and coughed softly.

"Master, what should we do now? With this poacher and Bishas and his group, we've captured quite a few prisoners."

Fang Yuan was startled by Xiao Mao's sudden appearance, then calmly said...

"Don't worry, I've already contacted people. Someone is interested in a Rockets executive like Bisharp!"

"Look, it's almost here."

Fang Yuan looked at the Dragonite that appeared on the distant horizon and spoke to the Dodo standing behind him.

Chapter 214 Ooki Nanami

"Hey! Dodo... Lance, the investigator! This is Bishaus! The Team Rocket leader of the entire Johto region. You think you can trade him for such a small amount of resources? Aren't you being a bit too greedy?"

In the same forest, Fang Yuan offered a high price to Yu Longdu, who was wearing a red cloak.

They were going to sell Bishas and the prisoners to the other side.

However, even Yu Longdu felt the pinch when faced with Fang Yuan's exorbitant price.

"Master Fang, I won't talk about the other common dragon-type resources for now. Aren't the two near-Elite Four level Dragon Balls, three Dratini, and ten Red-faced Dragons you asked for too much?"

"Is it a lot? Really a lot? And I'm not just giving it to Bishas, ​​but also to that skilled poacher as a bonus. This price is already very reasonable."

"But....."

Watching Fang Yuan and Yu Longdu discuss how to deal with Bishas as if they were discussing selling vegetables at a market, Xiao Mao couldn't help but twitch his lips.

The unfortunate poacher felt as if he were in the sky.

I actually met two champions in just one day!

This is something many people dream of, and he actually happened to experience it today. It has to be said that this is perhaps a kind of luck.

"Stop, stop, stop, Master Fang. There are some things I can't argue with you about, but the resources of the Dragon Clan aren't something you can just dig up like cabbages. Dratini is a pseudo-legendary after all. You want three of them all at once. That's really a bit much."

"Two, then two it is, but one must be male and one female. I'm not insisting on Red-faced Dragon, other Dragon-type Pokémon are fine too. Just give me ten, and a near-Elite Four level Dragon Ball. Your Dragon Tamer clan must have some in stock!"

"It can't be any lower, or I'll quit. Besides, think about it, Xiao Chun is my disciple. Aren't we family?"

Ultimately, through Fang Yuan's efforts, the two parties successfully reached a deal.

In return for the aforementioned resources, Lance obtained Team Rocket prisoners, including Bisharts, from Fang Yuan, and oh, and also a poacher prisoner.

Fang Yuan watched with a smile as Yu Longdu led a large group of prisoners away.

At this moment, Xiao Mao looked at Fang Yuan and asked curiously.

"Master, wouldn't it be better for us to interrogate Bishas ourselves?"

In response to Xiao Mao's question, Fang Yuan shook his head and said...

"The Rockets' base is not as simple as it looks. It's pointless to call in Mewtwo, and if we alert them, their other bases will definitely have to relocate."

"Selling to a large organization like the Alliance is the best option, and..."

"And what?"

"nothing."

Fang Yuan shook his head, then suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Is there really anything left at the Rockets' base in Chengdu? Giovanni isn't the kind of man who just falls into oblivion after an injury."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said

"Forget it, forget it, let the Rockets and the league deal with their own business."

Incidentally, Fang Yuan did not tell Lance the news of Arceus's disappearance, but planned to tell Professor Oak instead.

After all, Fang Yuan's alliance with Professor Oak was much stronger than Lance's.

Fang Yuan looked at Xiao Mao with complete ease.

"Alright, just pretend you didn't see what happened today. It's time for us to go home."

After dealing with the prisoners, Fang Yuan took out Ninetales' Poké Ball.

Fortunately, as long as it's not when she's alone with Fang Yuan at night, Nine-Tails is still quite normal.

"Nine-Tails, use Instant Transmission to send us back."

"Okay! Master!"

------------

The next second, Xiao Mao and Fang Yuan appeared at the entrance of the dojo.

But for some reason, as Xiao Shi looked at the familiar dojo in front of him, a feeling of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.

It was as if some monstrous flood or beast was waiting for him ahead.

"Why do I feel this way?"

Just as Xiao Mao was completely baffled, Fang Yuan gently patted Xiao Mao's shoulder and said...

"Let's go, the dojo is right in front of us. Why do you look so flustered?"

"I don't know either, Master."

However, as soon as Shigeru pushed open the dojo door, a faint chill rushed straight to the top of his head.

Professor Oak stood quietly inside the gym, looking at Gary with a 'kind' expression.

"Grandpa...Grandpa, it's been so long!"

When Professor Oak saw Gary, he kindly said the words that chilled Gary to the bone.

"Hey, isn't this my brother Xiao Mao? How come you haven't looked a day in forty years?"

"Grandpa! Explain to me, I really didn't know Xuecheng was you!"

"Alright, alright, you can't even remember Grandpa's name? Then you'll have to familiarize yourself with it properly again."

Watching the harmonious relationship between grandfather and grandson, Gary and Professor Oak, Fang Yuan picked up the hot tea in front of him.

"I never thought that Xiao Mao would even call out 'Grandpa' just to save his life. It's really not easy for him."

Fang Yuan looked up and noticed the newcomer who had suddenly appeared in his dojo—a woman who looked very gentle and virtuous. Fang Yuan said, somewhat puzzled...

The gentle and virtuous beauty smiled faintly and said...

"This should be our first time meeting, right?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Nanami Oak. I am Gary's older sister and Professor Oak's granddaughter. I am currently a researcher at the Yamanashi Laboratory in the Sinnoh region."

"Oh, you're Xiaomao's older sister! Hello, hello."

They shook hands, which meant they had truly gotten to know each other.

However, Nanami Oak saw Professor Oak leading Gary away and said with some confusion...

"What are Grandpa and Xiaomao going to do?"

Fang Yuan took a sip of tea and said

"Professor Oak is going to test Gary's combat skills. Don't worry about them."

Chapter 215 Harmonious Grandfather and Grandson, Extensive Development of the Backyard

After a 'friendly' exchange between Professor Oak and Gary, Gary walked out with a wry smile.

Professor Oak let out a long sigh of relief, finally venting his frustration, and a very satisfied expression appeared on his face.

Just then, Xiaowen, with dark circles under her eyes, quietly stood behind Fang Yuan, like a ghost, and said in a low voice...

"Master Fang, you're finally back."

Fang Yuan was startled by Xiao Wen.

"What's wrong with you??"

"What's wrong? I'm so busy! I haven't slept for almost 24 hours! If Professor Oak and the others hadn't come, the gym would have been packed!"

Fang Yuan said somewhat embarrassedly

"Sorry, but I'm back now, aren't I?"

At this moment, Fang Yuan scratched his head and said something strange.

"By the way, where did Shinji go?"

Xiaowen pointed to the corner of the wall.

Fang Yuan looked at Shinji, who had turned grayish-white, and scratched his chin.

"This is... burnt out?"

"As expected, I told you that being busy is a good medicine for the soul. Shinji is no longer troubled at all now, which is great."

However, Fang Yuan also knew that recruiting people was urgent.

As a well-established dojo, a staff of only a few people is definitely not enough.

However, Fang Yuan has other things to do right now, so the challenger will be temporarily handed over to Xiao Mao.

Fang Yuan gave Xiao Mao a thumbs up, then plunged into the back garden.

"They're the first ones!"

Fang Yuan first went to the nearest riverbank, which was near the Swampert's territory, and settled the three little fangirls that the Swampert had found.

However, Fang Yuan saw three female Mudkip in the swamp looking at Swampert with adoration.

Fang Yuan muttered to himself silently.

"This arrangement shouldn't interfere with training, right? It shouldn't, right?"

"Is the Swampert still quite docile...?"

After giving the three Mudkip to Swampert, Fang Yuan went to the forest and asked Scizor to go find his wife and children, and gave Scizor a lot of Power Cubes as agreed.

They also contacted a construction team to build a small home just for their family.

Meanwhile, both the Poliwrath and the Seadra were still alone, and happily left with the energy cubes given to them by Fang Yuan.

Although Fang Yuan had always wanted to move the Sea Thorn Dragon into the Dragon's Secret Realm.

However, the Dragon King said he preferred the deeper river outside after it was widened. Although the Dragon's Lair had a nice environment, he felt uncomfortable because the river was too shallow.

Fang Yuan didn't insist on this, letting him do as he pleased.

Then Fang Yuan took another look at the sacred tree in the Bulbasaur Forest. Although only one day had passed, the sacred tree was growing very well and had already sprouted new buds.

Princess Bulbasaur has temporarily returned to her loyal Venusaur kingdom.

Fang Yuan then went to the crater, which was also the Nine-Tailed Fox's small palace.

All the little dragons were summoned.

Looking at the bewildered Charmanders, Fang Yuan looked at Nine-Tailed Fox and Shiny Charmander and said...

"I'll temporarily entrust the task of managing the little dragons to you."

The shiny Charmander nodded vigorously.

Although the Shiny Charmander doesn't use fire, it has considerable strength, plus its thick black scales and noble Dragon + Fire type.

This gives him four times the resistance to fire-type attacks, making him a formidable opponent for most Charmanders!

Finally, Fang Yuan handed the three small fire dragon eggs and the six-tailed dragon to the nine-tailed dragon, saying...

"Keep an eye on these three eggs for now, and I'll reassign them in a few days."

Nine-Tailed Fox looked at Fang Yuan with tender affection and said...

"Yes, Master, I will take good care of your child."
