The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

"It's alright, my family has royalties from the copyright of skill CDs, so we don't lack these things."

"You and I might actually be the ones who profit from this exchange."

Fang Yuan wasn't just being polite. Since the dojo level had been upgraded several times in a row, Fang Yuan had no shortage of these relatively common resources.

Fang Yuan lacks items of the caliber of a Champion-level Venusaur fruit.

Moreover, the secret manuals that Lei Si possesses are indeed not very useful in the hands of individual trainers.

But it's different in Fang Yuan's hands.

As a gym leader, Fang Yuan has always been open to any secret techniques that can enhance the gym's prestige!

Fang Yuan, seeing Lei Si still somewhat hesitant, waved his hand generously and said...

"I remember you also have a Starhawk, right? How about I give you an extra Heatwave TM?"

"Is it worth the price of this manual you have?"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Lei Si unceremoniously pushed the secret manual in his hand toward Fang Yuan.

"Master Fang, I'll change!"

And so, a deal was reached in which both parties felt they had made a profit.

Fang Yuan glanced at the manual in his hand a few times and nodded in satisfaction.

Lei Si carefully placed the four valuable skill cards into his backpack.

However, although the exchange was completed, Lei Si did not forget his true purpose.

"Master Fang, regarding Shinji's apprenticeship..."

Hearing Lei Si's words, Fang Yuan nodded.

"Sure! Of course, it's just that I don't know what Shinji himself thinks."

"I am willing!"

Fang Yuan had just finished speaking when Shinji was already standing beside him.

He looked at Fang Yuan with a determined gaze.

"Gym Leader Fang, you explained the problem of Torterra in just a few words in great detail, and even a reckless guy like Ash can be trained into an excellent trainer!"

"It would be my honor to become your disciple!"

Shinji accepted Fang Yuan's offer without hesitation.

After all, Shinji may seem stubborn, but he is actually quite stubborn.

However, Shinji is definitely not some hot-blooded idiot who doesn't know what's good for him.

On the contrary, judging from Shinji's habit of catching multiple Pokémon and then selecting the one with the best potential for training.

From this perspective, Shinji is a very pragmatic trainer.

Therefore, Shinji had absolutely no reason to refuse Fang Yuan!

Looking at Shinji's serious expression, Fang Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Alright! Then starting with you, Shinji, you will be my third disciple in Matsumo City!"

Seeing this scene, everyone in the dojo applauded, celebrating the addition of another person to the dojo.

However, upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Xiao Chun suddenly sensed something was amiss and counted on her fingers.

"Wait a minute, Gym Leader, Shinji is the third student, Ash and Gary are the first and second respectively, so what about me?"

Seeing Xiaochun's bewildered expression, Fang Yuan said matter-of-factly...

"You? Aren't you just an intern? When did you become a disciple? You're going to inherit the Yanmo Martial Arts Academy sooner or later, why would I take you as a disciple?"

"What, you want to inherit two dojos?"

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Xiao Chun turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly.

"I didn't mean that."

-------

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, for successfully taking Shinji as your apprentice. You have received the mission reward: Dynamax Energy Gathering Device.]

[Disciple Profile: Shinji]

[Identity: Lei Si's younger brother, disciple of Songzao Dojo]

Current skill level: Senior

[Tactical Talent: ★★☆☆☆]

[Pokémon Affinity: ★☆☆]

Willpower: ★★☆☆☆

[Possessing Pokémon: Drapion, Torkoal, Dilophosaurus, Pidgeotto...]

[Exclusive Questline: None]

Fang Yuan was somewhat surprised to see that Shinji's exclusive mission was listed as "not available yet".

After all, this was the first disciple Fang Yuan had ever seen without a specific mission.

However, Fang Yuan didn't say much, since Shinji didn't have the same unwavering goals as Gary and Ash at the moment.

Fang Yuan speculated that after Raiji lost to Kamishiro and his Dao Heart was shattered, Shinji should awaken his own unique mission.

Shinji's stats were pretty much as Fang Yuan had guessed.

Apart from the affinity with the spirit, all of them are five-star talents. Although the star rating is only one star higher than Xiaochun, the talent is obviously much higher.

After becoming disciples, Shinji and Raiji looked at Fang Yuan with expectant faces.

Fang Yuan waved his hand and said...

"You two..."

"Tsubaki, come over and show Shinji around. I suddenly have something to take care of."

After saying that, Fang Yuan ran back to his office in a flash. He couldn't wait to try out how this giant energy collection device worked.

Chapter 107 Gigantamax Floating Bubble

[Max Energy Collector (Green): Collects and stores Max Energy for use in battle.]

Fang Yuan took the collection device out of the system space.

A device resembling a microwave oven appeared in front of Fang Yuan; the entire collection device was white.

Unlike a regular microwave oven, this collection device has two antennas on top.

Fang Yuan felt like he was looking at a mishmash of television sets.

After placing the collection device on the ground, Fang Yuan reached out and patted it hard.

How do I use it?

Just then, Fang Yuan suddenly felt the super-powered spoon in his hand shake several times.

After fiddling with it for a while, Fang Yuan finally figured out how to use it.

Simply put, this thing absorbs the surrounding Dynamax energy, and once it's full, it allows Pokémon to Dynamax and battle in gyms.

Unfortunately, the Kanto region seems to be particularly unfavored by Mugenta.

The Dynamax energy is pitifully small.

Based on the efficiency of the collection device, being able to accumulate enough energy for one Dynamax in a month would be considered extremely lucky.

However, in addition to normal absorption, this thing can also absorb items rich in enormous energy, extracting their power and turning it into usable energy.

After seeing the device's second function, Fang Yuan looked at the super-powered spoon in his hand.

Fang Yuan originally intended to put it directly into the machine.

But Fang Yuan remembered that there was still a living ancient spirit imprisoned inside.

Is it really that inhumane to treat someone like a battery?

Although in the anime, both the ancient Alakazam and the ancient Gengar acted like two lunatics.

Although the ancient Hu region almost sent the Matsuzo Dojo to its dojo.

However, Fang Yuan still planned to talk to the other party and give them another chance.

Fang Yuan probed his consciousness into the superpowered spoon.

Fang Yuan quickly found the sleeping Alakazam in the psychic spoon.

Moreover, seemingly sensing Fang Yuan's presence, the dormant Alakazam slowly opened its eyes.

A disdainful voice rang out.

"Humans! If you see the gods, why don't you worship them?"

If it were elevated to the level of the ancient Hu region, Fang Yuan's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Alakazam, many years have passed since your time. If you are willing to obey..."

Before Fang Yuan could speak, just hearing the word "obedient" made the ancient Hu people bristle as if their fur had been pricked.

"What did you say? Obey me? I am a god of the Superpower Empire, a supreme being!"

"Although I don't know why I'm trapped here, you're just a human who stole a sliver of divine power. A human like you..."

Looking at the Hu lands still immersed in the ancient environment, Fang Yuan sighed helplessly.

"Sigh~ Since when did someone like you become worthy of being called a god?"

"I was a little hesitant about giving you your freedom back, but now it seems you should just stick to being a charging battery."

Before the ancient Chao could finish spouting his nonsense, Fang Yuan withdrew his superpowers.

Without any hesitation, he tossed the super-powered spoon into the collection device and said...

"Great God of Superpowers, you should just be a power bank and wait until you've figured things out before making any decisions."

After Fang Yuan used the ancient Hu land as a battery, the efficiency of the collection device instantly increased dozens of times!

Fang Yuan estimated that it would take about 12 hours to fully charge the energy for one Dynamax.

However, Fang Yuan was also a little curious at this moment.

"I have energy now, but how do I use Dynamax? I remember needing something like a Dynamax Bracelet?"

Just as Fang Yuan was pondering, the system's voice echoed in his mind.

[Ding! New items added to the Points Shop: Max Rider Bracelet and Upgrade Ball. Points: 20]

(Each Pokémon requires a separate upgrade Poké Ball, and each upgrade costs 10 points.)

"Damn! What a swindler! A complete and utter swindler!"

"I only have less than a hundred points right now, which I was saving to improve Mudkip's stats. And you're making me spend them repeatedly?"

"Twenty points is enough for a free Maxim Bracelet in every game, but you need ten points to level up your Pokémon?! Why don't you just rob someone?!"

The system did not respond to Fang Yuan's question.

Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Mumpfish, how about we give it a try?"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Mudkip appeared completely indifferent.

'What do you mean by improving qualifications? I don't understand at all! My current strength is entirely due to perseverance and hard work!'

Seeing Mudkip's determined look, Fang Yuan's lips twitched, and he nodded.

"Okay, it's all thanks to your persistence and hard work."

"Do you want to try out Dynamax first? After all, I originally planned to use these points on you first."

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Mudkip refused without hesitation!

'A real man doesn't need all this nonsense, all he needs is a chisel and axe...'
