The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

Seeing this, Professor Oak could only nod with a wry smile.

"By the way, Professor Oak, wasn't there supposed to be extra compensation for the attack on Matsumo City?"

"Could you show me what specific compensation you can offer?"

Professor Oak, upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, whispered...

"I have a list from the alliance here. It's full of good stuff. You can pick any one of these and it will be great."

"This is a general list. Take a look, and let me know if there's anything else you want."

After Professor Oak finished speaking, he gave Fang Yuan a list.

Fang Yuan was somewhat shocked after seeing the list in his hand.

"Wow, the alliance is really rich and powerful."

Chapter 65 Taking Stock of the Harvest: The Path to Strengthening Mudkip

"Fragments of Articuno's abandoned nest, scales of a Champion-level Kingdra, and the Heart of the Earth, formed from the energy released by Ground Pokémon after their natural deaths..."

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

Fang Yuan couldn't help but stroke his chin and said...

Can I have them all?

Professor Oak laughed twice after hearing Fang Yuan's words.

Each of these items is basically at the black level.

These are the kind of items that can directly improve a spirit's aptitude and also have some other effects. The Soul Sand that Fang Yuan got last time is nothing compared to these items.

Fang Yuan looked longingly at the various rewards in front of him, and sighed helplessly.

"Professor Oak, can I have something else?"

Professor Oak looked at Fang Yuan with some surprise, thinking, "These things can't satisfy you?"

But Professor Oak still patted his chest and said

"You said I'd find a way to get you anything you want!"

"Then I'll thank Professor Oak in advance."

"What I want is the lake in Celebi that can heal elves' injuries and restore their life force."

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Professor Oak's eyes widened in shock.

How did you know that thing existed?

"Don't worry about that, Professor Oak. Can you help me get it?"

Professor Oak refused without even thinking.

"The water of Lake Shirabi is a level higher than these items, so my opinion doesn't count."

Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said...

"If I were to offer Cresselia's feathers and Latias's dragon scales, along with this compensation, could we exchange them?"

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Professor Oak was somewhat surprised.

"Wow, you've got quite a few treasures."

"But unfortunately, even if all these things are combined, they still don't reach the level of Lake Shirabi."

Hearing Professor Oak's words, Fang Yuan sighed with some regret.

At this moment, Professor Oak patted Fang Yuan on the shoulder and said...

"I might be able to figure out a way to use other items, but I can't get a solution for the water of Lake Rabbi."

"That thing is less like lake water and more like the life energy that the Shravbi clan has stored in the river of time."

"It only has a special effect when the rabbi is seriously injured and on the verge of death; otherwise, the lake water there is just ordinary mountain spring water."

"Oh~ I see."

"It seems Professor Oak has done a lot of research on the Celebi race, he even knows about this kind of information."

Fang Yuan's words clearly had a hidden meaning.

Professor Oak coughed and said

"As a PhD, isn't it normal for me to know these things?"

At this moment, Professor Oak's thoughts drifted back to his youth, recalling that incredible time-travel journey he had taken back then.

However, Professor Oak scratched his head and realized that there seemed to be an extra face in his memory.

"Alright, tell me what you want."

Fang Yuan looked at Professor Oak and said

"Are there any other items that can help a spirit replenish a large amount of life energy in one go?"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's request, Professor Oak frowned and said...

"Replenish a large amount of life energy?"

Let me think about it.

Professor Oak thought for a while and came to a conclusion.

"It seems there is indeed an item that meets your requirements."

Professor Oak quickly found something on the list and pointed it out to Fang Yuan.

"Look, this is it, the fruit that grows on the back of a Champion-level Venusaur."

"This thing has the highest life energy among all these items."

"Not a champion-level one?"

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Professor Oak said somewhat speechlessly.

"Of course, Venusaur can only bear fruit three times in its lifetime, and it's not in the same league as those dragon scales."

"do you want?"

Fang Yuan thought for a moment and said

"Just him."

"Alright, I'll submit your choice to the Alliance. The Alliance will deliver the item to you in three days at most."

"Thank you, Professor Oak."

After discussing Xiao Shi's recent training progress with Fang Yuan, Professor Oak nodded in satisfaction.

"Entrusting Xiao Mao to you was indeed a good choice."

Hearing Professor Oak's words, Fang Yuan said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hehe, back then, who was it that didn't want Xiao Mao to be my disciple?"

Professor Oak coughed somewhat awkwardly and said...

"Alright, although Xiao Mao's current strength is not bad, it will still be difficult for him to advance to the top eight."

"And you shouldn't let Xiao Mao focus solely on training."

"Even the dojo master's disciple needs to collect all eight badges to register for the competition."

"Moreover, challenging the masters of various dojos is also an excellent form of training."

Fang Yuan nodded in agreement upon hearing Professor Oak's words.

"Don't worry, I'll give them plenty of time to collect badges. Staying in the gym all the time won't make you a top trainer."

Professor Oak looked at Fang Yuandao

"This statement applies to you as well."

After saying that, Professor Oak prepared to leave.

After all, he also had to help a warehouse full of Pokémon find their trainers, which was no easy task.

After chatting with Gary and Ash for a while, Professor Oak took some of the Pokémon back to Pallet Town.

Afterwards, Fang Yuan, in his capacity as the owner of the dojo, also compensated the residents living nearby.

When I returned to the dojo, it was already late at night the day after the incident.

Fang Yuan sat alone in the dojo's office, finding it hard to fall asleep.

"The most important thing right now is to help Nine-Tails restore its life force, but the storyline of Celebi Forest hasn't started yet, so we can only put it aside for now and see if the Bulbasaur Berry that Professor Oak strongly recommends can help Nine-Tails restore some of its strength."

"Apart from that, it's just like what Professor Oak and Uncle said."

"Improving our strength should still be our top priority."

"It seems we need to readjust the efficiency of our Pokémon breeding program."

"As long as Lark continues to train and increase its combat experience, it will soon have combat power comparable to Mudkip."

"As for the floating bubbles, there haven't been any major improvements for now."

"Only the Mudkip..."

As the strongest Pokémon Fang Yuan currently possesses, Fang Yuan plans to help Mudkip increase its leveling speed.

Once Mudkip evolves, and we manage to obtain a Mega Stone for Swampert, plus the boost from rain, Swampert should then be able to achieve strength comparable to an elite-level Pokémon.

To make Mudkip evolve quickly...

Fang Yuan opened the system panel.

Because Fang Yuan turned off the system notification sounds during the battle in order not to get distracted.

As the gym leader, Fang Yuan defeated the attacking enemies and received compensation from the alliance, which raised the level of the Songzao Gym to another level.

The system's rewards will naturally be plentiful.

Meanwhile, Xiao Mao's exclusive task was also completed, earning him another round of points.

All things considered, Fang Yuan now has a total of 110 points.

This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

You can directly purchase 11 evolution potions.

Furthermore, after Fang Yuan accepted Xiao Zhi as his disciple last time, new items were added to the system shop.

The newly added item is the Mega Evolution Stone.

However, these Mega Evolution Stones can only be obtained by opening blind boxes.

Moreover, it requires 50 points to draw once, so Fang Yuan never took this unreliable thing seriously.

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said

"It's time to deliver on our promise and give Mudkip a major upgrade."

Chapter 66 Continuous spraying, Mudskipper: Why is my head so pointed?

"Mumpmitv, keep this pace, and give me another Freeze Punch!"

On the battle field of the Matsuzo Dojo, a challenger is fighting against Fang Yuan.

The Pokémon sent out by this player was the very rare Ninjamask, which was level 33 and had also learned the Grass-type move Mega Drain.

This was a rare occurrence for Mudkip, who suffered a tough time in a gym battle.

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's command, Mudkip leaped into the air and unleashed a Freeze Punch!

Even though the Iron-Faced Ninja was almost 10 levels higher than Mudkip's level, he still felt an extremely dangerous aura when faced with Mudkip's Freeze Punch.

With the Iron-Faced Ninja's defenses as thin as a finger, one punch from him would be fatal.

But the next second, Mudkip's full-force punch passed right through the Iron-Faced Ninja.

It was obvious that it was just a blur left by the Iron-Faced Ninja due to his excessive speed.
