The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

Fang Yuan stretched, feeling quite pleased with himself.

At that moment, Xiao Mao walked over and said...

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. I finally understand where the gap lies between me and Xiaozhi. I will work even harder in the future!"

[Ding~ Congratulations, host! Xiao Mao's exclusive mission progress +10%, only 10% away from the next stage reward]

Fang Yuan looked at Xiao Mao and couldn't help but stroke his chin.

"Hiss~ Did I give him any pointers?"

Fang Yuan then watched Xiao Mao leave and waved his hand dismissively.

"Forget it, forget it. As long as their disciples train hard, that's all that matters. As their master, I have a lot more to consider."

Just as Fang Yuan was about to continue training, he stroked his chin and said...

"I seem to have forgotten something?"

At this moment, Qiao Yixue, who had been forgotten for a long time while sitting in the spectator seats, silently stood up and looked at Fang Yuan, saying in a low voice...

"Master Fang, you don't want your dojo to fail the assessment, do you?"

Fang Yuan's face stiffened immediately upon hearing Qiao Yixue's voice.

'Oh no, I completely forgot about the dojo inspection!'

Seeing Fang Yuan's expression, Qiao Yixue, who had been cold and aloof, smiled and said...

"Alright, you've passed the dojo assessment."

"I don't have the habit of completing plans for others."

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, on completing the gym assessment! Hidden reward: Random Mega Evolution Stone]

Chapter 29 System Upgrade, Latias's Dragon Scales

"Although I will report to the alliance and tell them that you have passed the test, you have not passed the test with me!"

"In the end, the dojo master's strength proves everything."

"Keep the assessment results with me for now."

Fang Yuan gripped the Tyranitar's Poké Ball at his waist and nodded.

"I agree with that point. Ultimately, the dojo master looks at strength."

"Give it to you."

At this moment, Joyce took out a bag and tossed it to Fang Yuan, then took out Latias's Poké Ball.

"Latias, let's go."

With a melodious dragon roar, Latias led Joy Snow away from the Matsumo Gym.

At this moment, Fang Yuan looked at Latias's panel and couldn't help but say...

"Truly worthy of being called a divine beast, a being that stands at the pinnacle of the elf world."

[Pokémon: Latias♀]

[Level: 60+]

[Talent: Perfect+]

【Characteristic: Levitates (Immune to damage from the ground)】

[Skills: Dragon Pulse, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Precognition, Instant Amnesia...]

[Evaluation: A legendary spirit possessing limitless power, with all attributes exceeding the system's detection level.]

"Beyond system detection? Your system is a bit lax, isn't it?"

Fang Yuan shook his head helplessly.

At the same time, Fang Yuan looked at the small bag in his hand and said...

"Then what is this thing?"

Fang Yuan opened the bag.

A familiar feeling washed over me.

The bag contained many red and white scales.

Upon seeing these scales, Fang Yuan suddenly thought of an incredibly unbelievable possibility.

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have obtained a legendary material: a legendary dragon scale.]

[Legendary Dragon Scales: Dragon scales that shed naturally from a certain mythical spirit, possessing incredible power!]

"This is truly an incredible gift."

Fang Yuan looked at the five or six dragon scales in the bag and couldn't help but marvel at Qiao Yixue's generosity.

Just then, Fang Yuan's system seemed to make a strange sound because it was coming into contact with a legendary item for the first time.

[Ding! The system has detected a legendary item. System upgrade in progress...]

Estimated upgrade time: 24 hours.

Fang Yuan nodded helplessly.

"Alright, an upgrade is good, so you won't fall behind me."

Fang Yuan temporarily put the system aside.

Looking at Larvitar, who was bragging to Mudkip and Floatbub,

"Come on, Yugira, let me see how much strength this enhancement can boost you to."

Yugira nodded, seemingly confused.

. . . . . .

Yukira was really looking forward to the reward Fang Yuan mentioned, but when Fang Yuan brought over a bag of gray sand, Yukira's big eyes revealed even greater confusion.

Is this stuff really edible?

"Don't worry, it's definitely edible!"

With Fang Yuan's guarantee, Kira reluctantly put the bag of Soul Sand into his mouth.

However, this Soul Sand tasted completely tasteless to Yugira, just like ordinary people eating wood ash—it had no flavor and a very poor texture.

Yukira ate the whole meal with a bitter expression on his face.

After eating, Yukira suddenly felt dizzy and her head was throbbing. It took her several seconds to recover.

Once Larvitar recovered, it was able to sense the surrounding rock-type energy more clearly.

In quantitative terms, it would be that Larvitar originally needed about three seconds to charge up his Sandstorm.

Now it might only take less than two seconds.

Although it is slightly inferior to floating bubbles, it is still a remarkable improvement.

After all, in a battle, let alone a second, even a tenth of a second can often determine the outcome.

After noticing the changes in her body, Yukira no longer cared about whether the food was good or not. She grabbed Fang Yuan's trouser leg and looked at him expectantly.

"I'll have another one, I don't really mind that it's bad."

Sensing the changes in himself, even the gluttonous Yukira wanted another serving.

"You're overthinking it, just one serving!"

Fang Yuan rolled his eyes at Yukira and said

Then, as if by magic, Fang Yuan produced two evolution potions.

"Come on, take these two bottles of medicine first."

Tyranitar nodded obediently, opened its mouth, and two doses of evolution potion quickly entered its mouth.

Perhaps because after consuming two doses of evolution potion at once, Tyranitar's body immediately began to undergo drastic changes.

The once somewhat rounded head visibly thinned out, revealing the muscles beneath the brown armor.

At this moment, Kira's armor actually developed many cracks!

With a 'snap' sound, a large piece of Lark's outermost armor peeled off as if it were molting.

After molting, Yukira grew taller.

The evolution potion didn't increase Tyranitar's strength at all; instead, it improved Tyranitar's body, allowing it to continue moving towards its perfect state!

Fang Yuan found a measuring tape and measured Yukira's height.

It was discovered that the Yugira was already about 5 centimeters taller than its kind.

Keep in mind that Tyranitar is only level 10 at this point. As its level increases, Tyranitar's size will only become more astonishing!

Fang Yuan patted Lark's head hard and said...

"Keep it up! Even though your talent has improved, you absolutely cannot slack off in your training, understand?"

“Elves who can reach the pinnacle cannot do so with talent alone.”

Yukira nodded vigorously.

Then one of them went to the desert to continue training.

Fang Yuan looked at the enhanced Tyranitar and couldn't be happier.

However, looking at the leaping fish and floating bubbles in the stream not far away, Fang Yuan silently thought to himself...

"Don't worry, everyone will have the evolution potion."

As for how to obtain the evolution potion, Fang Yuan looked in the direction Xiao Zhi had left.

"Gary has already obtained so many evolution potions, Ash, as the protagonist of the anime, should be able to give me even more surprises."

Unfortunately, due to the system's sudden evolution, Fang Yuan was unable to check which Pokémon the newly acquired Mega Evolution Stone belonged to.

But a Mega Stone is definitely a treasure!

Looking at the Mega Evolution Stone in his hand, Fang Yuan thought to himself...

"Research on Mega Stones is probably still in its early stages. Perhaps I can take this opportunity to acquire a batch of Mega Stones. Whether I use them myself, trade them, or keep them as part of my gym's foundation, it would be a great option."

"And those people behind the scenes who are plotting against the dojo, they're probably not the same group that Qiao Yixue was talking about."

"And he also took Xiao Zhi as his disciple..."

Looking at the Pokémon training in the backyard, and his gym gradually growing stronger.

"There's still a lot to do, so we need to keep working hard."

Chapter 30 Officer Jenny visits, Tyranitar's Mega Evolution Stone

[Ding! Congratulations, host! System upgrade complete. New features include: Points Shop, rarity indicators for items, and points system.]

"The upgrade is finally complete."

Fang Yuan nodded as he looked at the new system panel.

"Let's take a look at Larvitar's stats and see how much its IVs have improved this time."

"Come here, Yukira."

Fang Yuan called over Ursaring, who was training at the time.
