The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

Pikachu is level 20, and Torterra is level 25.

Pikachu rolled and jumped, narrowly dodging Torterra's Razor Leaf, but even had a lot of golden fur cut off its back by the Razor Leaf.

"A flash of lightning!"

Unable to defeat the enemy from a distance, Ash immediately opted for close-quarters combat.

Seeing Pikachu almost transform into a bolt of lightning, Shinji immediately abandoned the command to dodge and instead said...

"Forest turtle! Hold on!"

The forest turtle closed its eyes and, relying on its superior physical defense and size, successfully withstood Pikachu's Quick Attack.

The forest turtle slowly opened its eyes.

"Vine whip, grab him!"

Two vines stretched out from the forest turtle's back, trying to grab Pikachu.

But faced with this situation, Ash showed no sign of backing down; instead, he seized the opportunity in an instant.

"Don't panic, Pikachu! Charge straight onto Torterra's back! That's its blind spot!"

Upon hearing the command, Pikachu advanced instead of retreating, rushing directly onto the back of the Tree Spirit Turtle and easily dodging its vines.

Seeing this, not only Shinji, but also Reiss, Gary, Misty, Meowth and the others watching were stunned.

"What kind of wildly imaginative battle strategy is this?"

Seeing this, Fang Yuan helplessly tugged at the corner of his mouth and said...

"Yes, that's the feeling."

"Hold that position! 100,000 volts!"

Ash waved his hand, and Pikachu, who was perched on the Tortoise, unleashed Thunderbolt!

A flash of lightning illuminated the forest tortoise as it let out a painful howl.

Although Torkoal is a Grass-type Pokémon, the high water content in the swamp increases the damage Pikachu inflicts!

Shinji gritted his teeth and said

"So that's why you chose to send Pikachu out of the swamp?"

Ash scratched his head when he heard Shinji's question and said...

"No, I just felt I should do it, so I went for it, and I didn't expect it to actually work."

Ash's words broke Shinji's defenses.

"That's not right! This isn't how Pokémon battles are supposed to be!"

At this point, Shinji had not yet grown to the level of composure that the Sinnoh region possessed. Ash's unconventional battle style somewhat broke Shinji's defenses.

"Forest turtle, give it your all and get him off!"

Upon hearing Shinji's words, Torterra exerted its strength and, despite the attack of 100,000 volts, barely managed to shake Pikachu off.

Pikachu rolled over and landed on the ground, catching its breath before recovering.

In contrast, the forest tortoise was kneeling on the ground in pain, with obvious burn marks from electric shock on its body.

Without giving Torterra a chance to catch its breath, Ash immediately sent Pikachu to continue the onslaught!

"One more time! Quick Attack!"

Shinji's face turned extremely ugly when he saw Pikachu attacking again!

"Forest turtles, use vines to weave a net to block them!"

Shinji dared not let Pikachu get close again.

But this block caused a big problem.

After blocking Pikachu's attack, sparks flew from Torterra's body.

Finally, after the Torterra was brought into close contact with Pikachu for the third time, Pikachu's ability, Static, was triggered.

[Static electricity: 30% chance to paralyze your opponent upon each physical contact.]

Seeing this, Shinji knew that his battle was over.

Sure enough, the next second, Ash launched a fierce attack without any hesitation.

100,000 volts, thunder, a relentless barrage!

Soon, thick black smoke billowed from the forest turtle's body, and it collapsed to the ground, unable to fight.

"Ash wins!"

. . . . . . . .

"Lost...lost again..."

After two consecutive defeats, Shinji looked at his hands and couldn't help but feel a little lost.

At this moment, Reiss, as the eldest brother, stepped forward and said to Shinji...

"Don't worry, Shinji, this defeat is only temporary! Watch how I, your older brother, get my revenge!"

Reese's gaze was fixed on Fang Yuan, who was sitting on the ring.

Fang Yuan also stood up, ready for battle.

But just then, a Pokémon suddenly barged into the gym.

"Dragonite?!"

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw the Pokémon that had barged into the gym.

Chapter 45 Mewtwo's Counterattack?

"Wait? What's going on?"

Everyone was stunned when they saw the Dragonite suddenly rush in.

Originally, Lei Si had planned to challenge Fang Yuan to avenge his younger brother.

However, the Dragonite that suddenly rushed in still disrupted everyone's plans.

Finally, it was actually the Rockets' trio who reacted first.

"If only we could catch that Dragonite!"

"Besides, the gym leader shouldn't be angry if I catch a Pokémon, right?"

In that instant, the Rocket trio, who had been holding back for half a month, finally couldn't resist anymore. Without any hesitation, they rushed in front of Dragonite and took out the capture device they had prepared over the past two weeks!

Unfortunately, they misjudged the strength of their target.

The Rockets' trio had just rushed forward when they were met with an iron fist from the Dragonite!

Dragonite didn't hold back and immediately unleashed its Flame Punch!

One punch sent the entire Team Rocket trio flying!

"Damn it! We'll definitely be back!"

The Team Rocket trio's gym uniforms were burned to ashes by Dragonite's Flame Punch, revealing their Team Rocket uniforms underneath.

Ash, Misty, and Brock stared in shock as they realized that their three staff members were actually Team Rocket.

"What? The Rocket trio has been staying around us for half a month without making a move?"

After defeating Team Rocket, Dragonite maintained his adorable expression and walked step by step towards Fang Yuan.

Dragonite looked at the person in front of him, rummaged through the small backpack behind him for a while, and then took out three invitations.

They were given to Fang Yuan, Xiao Mao, and Xiao Zhi respectively.

After nodding to Fang Yuan and the other two, Dragonite spread its small wings and flew away from the gym.

"Using Dragonite as a mail carrier..."

When Reese saw that Fang Yuan and his friends were using Dragonite as mail carriers, he was shocked by the profound knowledge and experience of the Matsuzo Gym.

"I underestimated the depth of Matsuzo Dojo!"

Fang Yuan's lips twitched. Not to mention the foundation of the Matsuzo Gym, even the entire League couldn't come up with a solution like using Dragonite Postman!

I'm afraid there's only one person in the entire world who could have Dragonite act as their messenger... no, to be precise, only one Pokémon.

Feel the superpowers attached to the envelope in your hand.

And this unique way of delivering letters almost immediately reminded Fang Yuan of that theatrical version.

"Mewtwo's Counterattack"

Fang Yuan rubbed his head and couldn't help but think of...

"According to the original storyline timeline, Mewtwo should have defected after Gary was seriously injured, and then Mewtwo would have started its counterattack, right?"

"The timeline has been moved forward."

Is it because of me, this only me?

Looking at Fang Yuan's complex expression, Reis sighed helplessly.

"It seems that Master Fang has something urgent to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer."

"Let's go, Shinji."

Shinji looked at Gary and Ash with a heart full of resentment.

"You guys will probably be participating in this year's Pokémon Tournament, right? I'll be waiting for you there!"

Although Ash and Gary won, they also acknowledged Shinji's strength.

"Then let's meet at the Pokémon Tournament!"

"I'll definitely be the winner then!"

Ash pointed to himself and said with absolute confidence.

..........

After agreeing to meet again at the Pokémon Tournament, Reese left the gym with his younger brother Shinji.

Fang Yuan also received 10 points as a reward for the mission, which he could use to exchange for the last evolution potion in the points shop, making Tyranitar the first Pokémon with perfect potential! And this would also activate Tyranitar's second ability!

Their combat power has increased several times over!

But Fang Yuan looked at the letter in his hand, which contained superpowers...

Fang Yuan really wanted to throw the letter directly into the trash can.

Who would want to participate in Mewtwo's trial and have their Pokémon copied?

At this moment, Xiao Mao and Xiao Zhi also came to Fang Yuan with the letters in their hands.

"Master, what should we do with this letter?"

Fang Yuan rubbed his head and said

"Keep them with me for now; this letter is definitely not good news."

"If it weren't for the superpowers attached to it, I would have thrown it straight into the trash can."

Fang Yuan casually tossed the three letters into an inconspicuous corner.

"What we need to do now is to make Ursaring's aptitude perfect!"

Fang Yuan summoned Tyranitar and then fed the last dose of evolution potion to Tyranitar.

After Lark consumed the last evolution potion, its aptitude in the system successfully advanced to the perfect level.

However, unlike the previous upgrades, this time Tyranitar did not change much.

At this moment, the system's mechanical sound reappeared.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Kira's potential has reached Perfect level. New ability: Sand Stream.]

"Phew! After so much hard work, it's finally done!"

【Pokémon: Tyranitar (Shiny)♂】
