The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

"Rumble Rock! Capture them!"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words and hearing the ground tremble, Xiao Mao felt a chill run down his spine.

Under the feet of Gary and Ash, the ground collapsed with a roar, revealing a large hole, from which a Golem of elite strength burst forth.

Their target is none other than Gary, the trainer!

With its elite level of 42, Golem would have a hard time stopping Wartortle even if it attacked head-on, let alone the fact that it chose to launch a shameless sneak attack!

In the last second, Gary only had time to push Eevee and Ash away from him.

All that could be seen was a pair of terrifying, massive rocky hands gripping Shigeru tightly.

With just a little force, Rumble Rock made Xiao Mao's bones creak and groan.

Seeing Xiao Mao captured alive, the poacher leader couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Kid! You're too young to fight me!"

The poacher leader strode up to Xiao Mao's side.

Seeing the poacher leader walk up in front of them, Wartortle and Ash could only glare at him fiercely from the side.

Because Gary was in the other party's hands, neither Wartortle nor Ash dared to make any rash moves.

The poacher leader, however, kicked the Wartortle on the head without any hesitation, and snorted coldly.

"Goods must have self-awareness! If you dare touch your owner again, you'll be turned into mincemeat!"

As the poacher leader spoke, Longlongyan chuckled, exerted a little force with both hands, and with a crack, Xiaomao's arm instantly drooped down.

Xiao Mao was in so much pain that cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"Xiao Mao! No!"

This was the first time Ash had encountered such a situation, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. But even if Ash sent out Charmander, Bulbasaur, Charmander and Pikachu, they were still no match for that Houndoom and could only barely hold on.

"Dealing with you League Trainers is too easy. You only know how to engage in rigid battles and have no idea how brutal wild battles can be!"

"Li Laosan, stop playing around and quickly deal with that guy. Then take their Pokémon and meet up with Lao Er!"

"Good boss!"

The man he called the third brother took out another Poké Ball, and a Finch appeared in mid-air.

"Is there anything else you want to say? If you're willing to kneel down and bark like a dog, maybe I can let you live a little longer."

It's obvious that this poacher leader enjoys torturing trainers like Gary and his fellow League members, and then watching their expressions of despair.

Blood trickled from the corner of Xiao Mao's mouth as he whispered...

"Master will not let you get away with this."

"Master? You mean that dojo master from Matsuzao City? He's probably been killed by our second brother by now!"

"Alright, since the goods you provided are of good quality, I'll act quickly."

At this critical moment, Xiao Zhi finally had a flash of inspiration and remembered what Fang Yuan had told him, shouting loudly...

"Black Poké Ball! I know the secret of your Black Poké Balls!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing "Dark Poké Ball," the poacher leader's pupils dilated instantly, and he stared intently at Ash.

"Kid, how did you find out about this!"

Ash breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that his plan had worked, but at the same time looked around anxiously.

"Master Fang, come quick!"

“My companions already told me! The Alliance already knows about your plan! You’re already on the Alliance’s wanted list! If you escape now, you might still have a chance to survive!”

While Ash may not excel in other areas, his battle intelligence is undeniably high. He successfully intimidated the opponent's leader with just a single word and a few sentences.

The poacher leader looked at Xiao Zhi, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what the two of them were up to.

After a few minutes of quick thought, the poacher leader finally made up his mind.

"Whether they're telling the truth or not! Kill them first! Then immediately move on to other areas."

Upon hearing the poacher leader's words, Ash felt a sense of foreboding, while Gary had already closed his eyes.

At this critical moment, a man's voice rang out.

"Sorry I'm late."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ash breathed a sigh of relief, and Gary opened his eyes as well.

The poacher leader looked toward the source of the sound.

Fang Yuan, holding the half-crippled poacher in one hand, coldly looked at the two poachers in front of him and said...

"You injured my disciple, you poached my elves, have you thought about how you're going to die?!"

Chapter 35 Super Explosion! The Real Dark Elf Ball!

"Have you decided how you want to die?!"

Fang Yuan looked at the two people on the field and said coldly.

"You arrived pretty quickly, it's a pity the second brother didn't run into you, otherwise..."

Just as the poacher leader was speaking, Fang Yuan, carrying the third poacher who had already been beaten to a pulp, said...

"Is he the second son you're talking about?"

Fang Yuan tossed aside what they called the "second son" as if it were trash.

"Just surrender already."

"Surrender? Ha! Don't forget, these two brats are still in my hands!"

Looking at Little Shigeru being held in the hands of the poachers' golems, Fang Yuan sighed helplessly and said to Little Shigeru...

"I've told you so many times, the most important thing when battling in the wild is to protect yourself. If the trainer gets caught, then everything is over."

"I'm sorry, Master. I didn't expect the opponent to be so strong that they even resorted to a sneak attack."

Xiao Mao said very apologetically

Seeing that Fang Yuan and Xiao Mao were completely ignoring him and talking amongst themselves, the poacher leader's expression immediately changed.

"How dare you ignore me?!"

"Gronteid! Give it to me..."

Just as the poacher leader was about to give the order to attack, Fang Yuan immediately notified the elves who were already lying in ambush nearby.

A thunderclap boomed in the sky!

The deafening thunder drowned out all other sounds.

Xiaoyu, who was originally summoned because of Wartortle, suddenly increased in size several times over!

This sudden storm was so powerful that even opening one's eyes became a problem.

"Why is the rain so heavy?"

In mid-air, the floating bubbles had transformed into rain-like shapes, exerting all their strength to control the storm!

In the midst of the storm, the Poliwrath, which had been lying in wait for a long time, suddenly rushed out in front of Houndoom, while on Poliwrath's back was Mudkip, ready to pounce.

Thanks to its agile nature and the heavy rain that obscured its vision and sense of smell, Houndoom didn't even realize when it was being approached.

Two fists, each the size of a sandbag, struck Houndoom's vulnerable abdomen directly!

With type advantage and the added boost from the Rainstorm, Houndoom was instantly annihilated!

It was so fast that Houndoom didn't even have time to let out a whimper.

Just then, amidst the torrential rain, Ash's Pikachu suddenly heard Fang Yuan's voice.

"Use Thunder at full power, and the floating bubbles will guide you!"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's command, Pikachu immediately gathered its power, and a lightning bolt of incredible power struck down!

Meanwhile, the floating bubbles in mid-air are doing their best to help Pikachu lock onto its target.

After the thunder, the big-billed sparrow, its body charred black, collapsed to the ground.

Just as the big-billed sparrow was shakily trying to get up, a brown figure descended from the sky!

Larvitar conjured a huge, sharp rock in mid-air and smashed it down on the head of Sparrow, dragging himself along with it!

The rock smashed into the ground, creating a large crater, and the peacock was knocked into the crater, losing its ability to fight.

After defeating the giant sparrow, Lark sat down on the rock with a thud, then pulled out a lollipop from somewhere and stuffed it into his mouth. He sat on the rock with a cool expression, pretending to be a ruthless and taciturn man.

However, because it was during a downpour, even though Kira had learned to swim under Fang Yuan's coercion and enticement.

However, his Rock-type Pokémon instincts still made him hate rain.

His cool little face instantly fell, and he disgustedly shook the water droplets off his body.

Under the terrifying amplification of the raging storm, most of Fang Yuan's Pokémon received a super boost.

In the midst of the raging storm, the enemy's vision and movement are not only hampered, but the excessively violent water energy also suppresses other attributes, causing their attack power to decrease.

The only downside is that this state won't last long, since the level of the floating bubbles isn't high enough to control weather of this level; it's like a small horse pulling a large cart.

However, even though the weather increase seemed terrifying to ordinary people, Fang Yuan thought it was just the beginning.

Because such weather makes it impossible to boost all Pokémon at the same time; for example, Tyranitar dislikes this kind of weather.

The pinnacle of weather tactics at the Matsushima Gym lies in its ability to create different environments for different types of Pokémon within the same area!

However, according to legend, there was only one person who could reach this level, and that person was the founder of the Matsumo Gym. It is said that when he reached this level, he had already become a champion-level trainer.

Moreover, even among the champion-level teams, which are filled with freaks, this team belongs to the category of those with freakish strength.

Although all of this seems complicated, it all happened in an instant!

With the help of weather enhancements, Fang Yuan easily dealt with a poacher who was stronger than him.

At this moment, the poacher leader, after the initial chaos, finally came to his senses and immediately roared at the rumbler beside him.

"Tear the hands off the brat next to you! I want to see if that so-called master really cares about his disciples!"

Just as the poacher leader was about to deal a serious blow to Xiao Mao.

But he found himself unable to hear the rumble of the rocks responding in the torrential rain.

At first, the poacher leader thought that the heavy rain was too noisy and that Rumble Rock hadn't heard it. Then, a dark green figure slowly emerged from the storm.

"Bangilas?!"

The poacher leader stared in shock at Bangiras, who had appeared out of nowhere.

Bangiras' massive body is covered in green armor that is far harder than steel!

The scars on it are all symbols of his honor.

Bangilas stood there, letting the raging wind and rain blow on him as if a gentle breeze were blowing on his face.

What terrified the poacher leader most was not Bangiras's identity, but the little boy standing next to Bangiras.

And the rumbler, which had collapsed in the heavy rain at some unknown time.

"To be able to defeat Golem in such a short time! Just how strong is this Tyranitar? Is it a Gym Leader? A near-Elite Four member? Or perhaps a legendary Elite Four member?!"

The poacher leader was now mostly disheartened.

"According to the rumors, the Gym Leader of Matsumo City was just recently appointed, and his family didn't leave him any Pokémon. So where did this Tyranitar come from?!"

The poacher leader suddenly thought of something.

"What a damn internal strife within the league!"

The poacher leader probably guessed that the so-called information in the underworld was deliberately spread by them to make them stepping stones!

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The poacher leader looked at the utterly invincible Bangiras and felt a deep sense of resentment.

"No, I just obtained the legendary Dark Elf Ball. As long as I can escape this calamity, I will definitely rise again in other regions!"
