The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

It transformed into Alolan Form Ice Vulpix.

"Meow! (Master, this form of the Six-Tails also wants a gift.)"

Fang Yuan scratched his head and said

However, Fang Yuan's snow team is currently only in existence on paper.

So Fang Yuan took out another scorching rock and gave it to Little Six-Tail.

[Scorching Rock: Extends the duration of Sunny Day weather for the Pokémon wearing the item.]

And finally, we get to Bulbasaur, which we've all been eagerly anticipating.

"Originally, I should have waited until you evolved before giving it to you, but you're very close to evolving, so I'll give it to you ahead of time."

However, it was different from the gift given to the Six-Tailed Fox and Charmeleon.

As the queen of the Venusaur clan, Bulbasaur naturally has no shortage of carrying items.

But what she wanted was very simple.

"The Complete Guide to Pinyin for Children" and "Learn Chinese from Scratch"

Yes, Bulbasaur wants to learn human writing.

Although Fang Yuan didn't know why Bulbasaur needed to learn, as long as it didn't interfere with training, he didn't really care how the Pokémon spent their remaining time.

Moreover, apart from Nine-Tailed Fox, all the other Pokémon in Fang Yuan's current team are actually illiterate.

Having another cultural sprite is actually a good option.

Bulbasaur left happily with the two books.

Fang Yuan stretched, then seemed to remember something and said...

"Oh right, didn't Xiaowen tell me to go and select apprentices? I almost forgot."

Fang Yuan sat in his office, and in front of him stood seven or eight children around fifteen or sixteen years old, and three children who had just become trainers, lined up in a row.

However, when the children saw Fang Yuan, they were all trembling with fear. Their eyes held a mixture of admiration, respect, and a little fear.

Fang Yuan waved his hand and directly approved all the children from Songzao City.

After all, they were children from his hometown, so Fang Yuan decided to give them all a chance. If they were no longer suitable to be trainers, Fang Yuan would arrange other jobs for them.

However, when Fang Yuan looked at one of the most talented children, he felt that the other child looked somewhat familiar.

I think I've seen him several times.

Fang Yuan was more demanding of the remaining three trainers. He first examined the Pokémon they had raised, and then asked them many questions about Pokémon training and battles.

In the end, Fang Yuan only chose to keep the little girl with freckles on her face.

Upon learning of Fang Yuan's affirmation, the girl cheered excitedly.

Incidentally, this girl's Pokémon are the very rare Alolan Sandshrew and Sea Lion.

This is also an important reason why Fang Yuan was willing to keep her.

"Thank you, Master! I will certainly not let you down!"

Fang Yuan then assigned the task to Xiao Wen.

This gave our head steward of the Matsuzo Dojo a little assistant, so he doesn't have to do everything himself anymore.

----------

Just when Fang Yuan was feeling like he could finally relax after a long time, a message came in.

"{Chai Dao}{Chai Dao}, Master Fang, may I ask where my Latias is? Have you forgotten about her?!"

"And what about the promise we made back then that you were coming to see my grandma?"

"Latias has been missing for so many days now, Grandma is furious!"

Reply immediately upon seeing this message.

Fang Yuan looked at the message Qiao Yixue had sent on his phone and said...

"Oh dear! I almost forgot about this if Qiao Yixue hadn't mentioned it!"

Although Latias was initially very irritable when he couldn't see Joyce.

However, ever since Fang Yuan sent Latias into the Dragon's Secret Realm.

And then she got more than a dozen dragon-type Pokémon to play with her every day.

Latias was not so irritable.

Furthermore, the Dragon's Lair has gained the existence of a dragon-type legendary beast, Latias.

The resource growth rate in the entire Dragon's Secret Realm has increased significantly.

Common dragon-type resources are plentiful, and even the rare Dragon Yang Grass is growing well, and it won't be long before it can be mass-produced for pollen.

Fang Yuan found Latias and told her about Qiao Yixue.

"So, Latias, are you planning to go back, or stay here for a couple more days?"

Latias looked at the reluctant Dratini and the other adorable baby dragons, his expression unusually hesitant for a moment, before he spoke.

"Waaah~ (I want to go back to Qiao Yixue's side)"

Fang Yuan nodded with some regret, but did not insist.

"Okay, then I'll come and visit again next time if I have the chance."

Latias nodded in complete agreement this time.

Fang Yuan smiled slightly.

Latias turns into the distance +10%!

This time, Fang Yuan flipped over and mounted her body.

Latias didn't object too much, and after shaking his body, he acquiesced.

“Let’s go, Latias, let’s go to the Joy Clan’s secret realm. I’ll trouble you to lead the way this time.”

Latias nodded.

However, just as Fang Yuan left, Professor Oak arrived at the gym with good news.

"Fang Yuan! I've gotten the resources for you!"

However, Professor Oak's trust was ultimately misplaced, as Fang Yuan had already embarked on his journey to the Joy Clan's secret realm.

--------

Meanwhile, inside a treehouse, an elderly Joey with white hair looked at Joey Xue with a pained expression and said...

"You actually lent Latias to someone else? Xiaoxue, that's really reckless of you!"

"Oh, Grandma, she's a very good friend of mine, it's alright!"

"We're really just friends!"

"We're friends!"

"Is that Master Fang?"

When Fang Yuan was mentioned, a bright and sunny smile appeared on Qiao Yixue's face. Old Qiao Yi immediately understood the key to her happiness.

But in the end, Old Joey looked at Joey Xue and said...

"You can date any other boy without any problem, but it's that Fang Yuan, Master Fang."

"Why, Grandma?"

Qiao Yixue was instantly dumbfounded.
