The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

"I'm here to defeat Ash, then Gary, and finally you, to get the last Gym Badge in one go!"

"I have made countless preparations for this day!"

The other challengers were somewhat surprised to see Shinji chatting so fluently with Fang Yuan.

They really didn't expect that this guy wouldn't even know about making an appointment.

He's actually a powerful player with seven gym badges!

They're even so familiar with Master Fang!

Fang Yuan nodded as he looked at the spirited Shinji.

"What you said is very good, and I believe in your abilities, but I have some bad news and some good news to tell you."

"What's the bad news?" Shinji asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The bad news is that Ash and Gary are both out challenging gyms. Since they're not here, your revenge plan has failed."

Shinji was stunned. He never imagined that his long-planned revenge war would end so abruptly.

"Master Fang, what about my gym battle?"

"This is the good news I wanted to tell you."

"Because today's challengers exceeded expectations, we can only ask you to come back tomorrow."

"But because of your queueing today, you'll be the first to challenge the gym tomorrow. Isn't that good news?"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Shinji was completely stunned.

Fortunately, on the morning of the second day, Shinji finally stood on the ring as he had wished.

Shinji looked at Fang Yuan and said seriously.

"Master Fang! I am no longer the person I used to be."

Fang Yuan nodded.

"Well said, but your opponent today is her."

Fang Yuan pointed to Xiao Chun behind him and said

"Strictly speaking, she's Ash and Gary's junior sister. If you can beat her, it's no different from beating Ash and the others!"

"Since that's the case, then I won't hold back! Go, Dragon King Scorpion!"

Just then, the tattered superpowered spoon in Shinji's backpack began to tremble slightly.

Chapter 102 Shinji's Crushing Defeat, Super Spoon Mutation

【Dragon King Scorpion♂】

【Level: 28】

[Skills: Venomous Fang, Crunch, Flame Fang, Tackle, Poison Strike, Sharpening Claws, Poison Jab...]

[Characteristic: Combat Armor (Immune to vital hits)]

[Description: A veteran-level Dragon King Scorpion, capable of skillfully using its pincers in combat.]

Shinji sent out his Ryuo Sasori to fight.

"Oh, this is the evolution of the Scorpion from back then, right? But this level of evolution is a bit too early, isn't it?"

Fang Yuan looked at Shinji's Dragon King Scorpion and said

Generally speaking, the evolution level of the Dragon King Scorpion is as high as 40, and even if it is properly nurtured, its evolution level will not be lower than 35.

But Shinji's Dracovish evolved at level 28, which is definitely considered premature evolution.

Hearing Fang Yuan's question, Lei Si coughed lightly from the side and said...

"Ahem~ After I helped an old man in a village drive away poached berries, he taught me a breeding method that can help Bug-type Pokémon molt quickly and evolve ahead of time, without losing their potential."

"Therefore, Shinji's Drapion is not the same as those Pokémon that evolved prematurely!"

Fang Yuan was somewhat surprised when he heard this.

"So that's how it is. Heroes of the world are indeed as numerous as carp crossing a river."

Just as Lei Si was feeling incredibly proud of his secret recipe, Fang Yuan was already secretly calculating in his mind how to obtain it.

If this secret recipe were to be improved and used on Shakiras or other slow-growing dragon-type Pokémon, it would be a completely different story.

As a gym leader, Fang Yuan quickly realized the value behind this secret recipe.

"Go, Hakron!"

Xiaochun chose to send out her starter Pokémon, Hakuryu.

However, although it is a starter Pokémon, Dragonair is only level 29. You should know that after Tsubaki's Seadra evolved into Kingdra, its level reached 34.

The level has increased significantly.

"Dragon Wave!"

Xiaochun launched the first attack.

Faced with Tsubaki's fierce attack, Shinji directly chose to use poison.

The Dragon Pulse struck the Dragon King Scorpion, raising plumes of thick smoke.

But as the thick smoke dissipated, it was revealed that the Dragon King Scorpion had actually blocked the attack with its hard armor using only its arms, and had suffered very little damage.

At the same time, the Dragon King Scorpion scattered poisonous spikes across most of the area, and anyone who stepped on them would immediately be poisoned.

"Dragon Wave!"

"Cross Fangs!"

.........

Ultimately, both Dragonscorpion and Dragonair lost their ability to fight.

Then, both Tsubaki and Shinji sent out their second Pokémon, Kingdra and Torterra respectively.

"Tortoise! ​​Use Rock Climbing!"

Fang Yuan stared wide-eyed in disbelief when he saw Shinji actually let Torterra use Rock Climb.

Fang Yuan sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation, thinking to himself.

"In the anime, Shinji's Torterra even gave Ash's Grovyle some pointers on their fighting styles, but it turns out you were the one who went down the wrong path back then."

"That's why your Torterra intervened at that time to correct Torterra's fighting style."

"It's really great that he doesn't want his juniors to get wet in the rain, even though he gets wet himself."

However, although in the anime, Shinji's Torterra specifically instructed Torterra on what exactly constitutes the fighting style of a tank-type Pokémon.

However, Torterra forgot that it was Ash, not Torterra, who commanded the Pokémon in battle.

Ash's fighting style is simply incompatible with the clumsy nature of Pokémon.

This resulted in Torterra never performing well, even after evolving into Torterra, with a terrible battle record.

Many anime viewers even referred to Ash's Torterra as a "cannon fodder tortoise."

However, the one facing this problem now is not Ash Ketchum in the future, but Shinji in the present.

Shinji's Torterra stomped its feet hard, creating a mountain that lifted King Thori into the air.

Meanwhile, the earth turtle charged upwards with the momentum.

However, due to the enormous size of the earth turtle and the steep terrain, this climbing attack was slow and weak.

Fang Yuan shook his head repeatedly.

Just as Torterra charged forward with all its might, Kingdra also snapped out of its panic. Under Tsubaki's command, its eyes turned bloodshot and its aura surged!

Under Xiaochun's command, Kingdra unleashed its ultimate Dragon-type move! Outrage!

Just as Torterra finally reached Kingdra, it was met head-on by Kingdra with its eyes bloodshot!

Kingdra stood on high ground, watching the charging Torterra, and suddenly exerted force with its spring-like tail.

King Thorn Dragon shot out like a missile!

The hard dragon horns and head slammed directly into the earthen turtle's head.

The power of Kingdra's Outrage is terrifying, after all, Tsubaki's Kingdra is originally a Kingdra that specializes in strength.

After evolving, it made up for the low Attack stat of the Seadra form.

The earth turtle was hit so hard that it saw stars, then its eyes rolled back and it passed out.

But at this moment, the earth-based tortoise is in the process of climbing...

The unconscious earth turtle, with its massive body, plummeted from the mountaintop.

The enormous impact created a deep crater in the ground.

They have undoubtedly lost their ability to fight.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan was also helpless, and couldn't help but think to himself...

"Fortunately, the elves have incredibly strong physical abilities."

"Otherwise, if someone fell from this height and with this weight, an ordinary carbon-based life form would definitely be turned into a meat patty."

Shinji looked at the Tortoise, who had lost its ability to fight, and his face turned pale.

He simply couldn't understand why his ace Pokémon, on which he had placed such high hopes, had lost so inexplicably.

At this moment, Shinji, whose mentality was collapsing, even had a fleeting thought about whether to abandon Torterra...

After all, unlike ordinary trainers, Shinji's values ​​in the anime are actually closer to those of Pokémon players.

When catching a Pokémon, the first things to consider are its Individual Values ​​(IVs), Nature, and Battle Strength...

If a Pokémon is not a good fit, the breed will be abandoned rather than continued to be trained.

"I..."

Seeing Shinji hesitate, Fang Yuan stepped forward and patted Shinji on the shoulder.

"Let's end this gym challenge here."

Seeing Shinji's expression, Fang Yuan sighed helplessly.

"Torterra is your starter Pokémon, after all. Don't lose confidence in your Pokémon just because of the outcome of a single battle."

Shinji nodded with mixed feelings.

Looking at Shinji in front of him, Fang Yuan couldn't help but offer a few more pointers.

"Furthermore, Torterra and the others should have new fighting styles after they evolve."

"For example, after your Dracovish uses Toxic Jaw, you can switch to Torterra and then use moves like Root, Protect, and Leech Seed to wear it down."

"The most important fighting method of the Dragon King Scorpion is to use its retractable spring tail and pincers, which can greatly extend the Dragon King Scorpion's attack radius."

"Each Pokémon has its own unique fighting style."

"A qualified trainer should enhance a Pokémon's strengths and enable it to exert 200% of its battle power."

Just then, the dirty-looking super-powered spoon in Shinji's backpack suddenly began to shake even more violently.

The shaking was so obvious that even Shinji could feel it.

Looking at Shinji's swaying backpack, Fang Yuan said with a sense of strangeness.

"Shinji, what's in your backpack?"

There's nothing there?

Shinji said, looking quite confused.

Just then, a strange purple light began to flash on the spoon, and then it began to grow larger and larger to Shinji and Fang Yuan's astonishment.

Watching the super-powered spoon burst through Shinji's backpack and crash to the ground, constantly growing larger and emitting a purple light.

Fang Yuan was also completely baffled.
