The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

"Cousin! I'm not a child anymore, you don't need to do this, I can take care of myself."

Looking at Xiaochun, Yulongdu sighed helplessly, thinking to himself...

"He's your teacher after all, what's wrong with letting him take care of you?"

Looking at the two people who seemed a bit awkward, Fang Yuan felt they looked very familiar.

This has nothing to do with strength or weakness; it's simply a matter of caring for one's family, just like Professor Oak.

Yu Longdu looked at Fang Yuandao with expectant eyes.

“Master Fang, I’m entrusting my cousin to you.”

Just as Yu Longdu was about to leave, he quietly leaned close to Fang Yuan's ear and said...

"Around the start of this year's League Conference, the League will begin selecting the eighth official gym. Please be prepared, Gym Leader Fang, and don't miss this opportunity."

After saying that, Lance turned around, flicked his cloak, sat on Dragonite, and soared into the sky.

As a champion and star player, Yu Longdu is extremely busy, especially since the league is currently cracking down on the Rockets, making him even busier.

After Yulongdu left, Xiaochun looked at Fang Yuan with a mixture of excitement and worry in her eyes.

"Hello, Master Fang!"

Looking at the somewhat nervous Xiaochun in front of him, Fang Yuan smiled and said...

"Alright, don't be too nervous. Show the same fighting spirit you had when you wanted to beat me in the competition."

Seeing that Xiaochun was still somewhat uneasy, Fang Yuan wasn't in a hurry and said to Xiaowen...

"Xiaowen, why don't you take Xiaochun to change into the Matsuzo Dojo uniform?"

At this moment, Fang Yuan also saw Xiao Chun's disciple panel.

[Temporary Disciple Profile: Xiao Chun]

[Identity: Lance's cousin, prospective Gym Leader.]

[Current Strength: Veteran Trainer]

Tactical Talent: ★★☆☆

[Elf Affinity: ★★☆☆]

Willpower: ★★☆☆

[Special ability: none]

[Possible Pokémon: Dragonair, Seadra, Gyarados, Aerodactyl.]

[Exclusive Questline: Train Chun to become a qualified Gym Leader.]

[Quest Reward: Dragon Nest (Fake)]

"A talent level of twelve stars is already top-tier among ordinary trainers, but it's still slightly inferior to monsters like Ash and Gary."

"No wonder Yulongdu said that Xiaochun is only suitable to be a dojo master."

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, in the changing room of the Matsuzo Dojo, Xiaowen looked at Xiaochun, who was only wearing a blue bra, and said somewhat awkwardly...

"There aren't any clothes that would suit you in the dojo."

Looking at the somewhat shy Xiaochun, Xiaowen thought to herself, "..."

"Isn't this a bit too much? We're clearly the same age, so why is there such a big difference? She's at least a D or an E cup!"

Just then, Kurama suddenly appeared in the women's changing room.

"Oh, so you can't fit into your clothes? Watch me!"

Nine-Tailed Fox skillfully took out her needle and thread.

"Let me help you revise it."

As a nine-tailed fox that has lived for hundreds of years, it certainly possesses this much power.

Seeing Kurama dressed as a maid, Tsubaki's face turned even redder. She covered her upper body with one hand and her lower abdomen with the other.

"You...your clothes are a bit too..."

"Hehe, Master said we should keep up with the times, so I changed into a modern maid outfit. How does it look? Pretty, right?"

Seeing the hesitant and timid Tsubaki, Nine-Tails suddenly felt playful and reached out with a chuckle.

"Move your hand away a little, otherwise I won't be able to resize it for you."

Should we move it?

"Yes, I'll take it!"

Nine-Tailed Fox said without batting an eye.

. . . . . .

A moment later, Xiaochun walked out of the dressing room somewhat awkwardly.

Upon seeing the tight-fitting dojo uniform, Fang Yuan rubbed his nose and said...

"Looks like I'll have to find a larger size next time. You should change back into your original clothes for now."

Xiaochun nodded, blushing slightly, and returned to the changing room.

Just then, Ash and Gary walked over from the back garden.

"Master, what should we do next?"

"Master..."

Looking at Ash and Gary in front of him, Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"Have you forgotten something?"

"What's wrong?" Ash and Gary looked confused.

"The League Conference is in a month. It's time to go out and collect badges to verify the results of our training."

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Xiao Zhi and Xiao Mao exchanged a glance.

Feeling both apprehensive and excited, he said...

"Really? Master?!"

"But I'll miss you a little!"

As Ash and Gary talked, they didn't stop packing their luggage at all.

They were already eager to continue their travels.

Looking at Xiaozhi and Xiaomao, Fang Yuan felt a little reluctant, as if his own children were about to go out and make their own way in the world.

"Keep up the good work. If you encounter any problems outside, remember to come to me. Your master's name still has some influence outside."

"Okay! We understand!"

Ash and Gary walked out of the gym together.

What surprised Ash the most was that Misty and Brock were also standing at the gym entrance, looking at him and saying...

"I thought you, you silly goose, had given up on the trip."

"Alright, alright, we haven't been idle lately either. Ash, let us see the results of your training."

Watching the four people walk away into the distance, Fang Yuan felt a mix of emotions.

"Take care on your journey."

Hearing the system's voice in his mind, Fang Yuan looked at his two disciples with even more reluctance.

"You must remember to come back! Your master will miss you!"

Chapter 99 A Date with Sabrina

Looking at Xiaochun who had changed back into her clothes, Fang Yuan said with some regret.

"Come with me."

It must be said that although Xiao Chun was a little shy when facing Fang Yuan, she was destined to be the dashing owner of Yanmo Pavilion.

She is quite adaptable.

"Master, what are we going to do now?"

Xiao Chun looked at Fang Yuan and asked.

"Of course, it's about doing the work that the curator must do."

"What job?"

Fang Yuan led Xiao Chun to the backyard of the dojo.

“Take care of the elves.”

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Xiao Chun immediately responded.

"As a gym leader, no matter how busy you are, you must take the time to get to know your gym Pokémon."

"The Gym Leader's Pokémon are also the Gym Leader's Pokémon. If the Gym Leader's Pokémon forget about you, then you are no different from a puppet."

Upon seeing Fang Yuan arrive in the backyard, the next second, Poliwrath, Kingdra, Vulpix, Lorelei, and other Pokémon surrounded him, looking at him with delight.

Liuwei even burrowed its head into Fang Yuan's arms.

This made one of the nine-tailed spirits in the Taoist temple grit its teeth in anger!

"Such a young age and she already knows how to seduce others! This girl must not be allowed to live!"

Seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox gritting its teeth, Xiaowen shook her head helplessly and then continued to look down at her book.

"The Gym Leader Fang has such a good relationship with the Gym Leader's Pokémon."

After playing with the gym's Pokémon for a while, Fang Yuan said...

"The number of Pokémon in the Matsuzo Gym is already considered small. Some gyms have more than a hundred Pokémon."

"However, there are not many gyms like this, because raising so many Pokémon at once would be an astronomical sum, not to mention the training, just the daily food rations would be astronomical."

"Oh, that's true."
