The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

Bangiras stood in the heavy rain, the rainwater gathering on his body and flowing down his armor like streams.

Despite being a Rock-type Pokémon, Tyranitar showed no disgust or fear towards the rain, as if the water were sand.

Suddenly Tyranitar stepped forward, and Wartortle nervously closed its eyes.

Instead of attacking Wartortle, Tyranitar reached out its giant claw from under its green armor and patted Wartortle's head.

When Wartortle opened its eyes again, the torrential rain had vanished without a trace, replaced by a dazzling sun that radiated intense heat and quickly dried the rocky area.

After being ravaged by a sandstorm and followed by a torrential rain, the rocky terrain, which had been shattered and resembled a spider web, was restored to its original state.

Even the well-informed Gary couldn't help but marvel at Bangiras's almost unparalleled ability to control the weather.

"This Tyranitar is amazing! Although its strength hasn't reached the Elite Four level yet, its combat power has probably already surpassed that of a typical Elite Four Pokémon."

Wartortle nodded thoughtfully beside him.

The incredible weather control techniques they just witnessed gave Wartortle a lot of new insights.

Xiao Mao patted Snorlax's head.

"It seems we underestimated the profession of trainer."

"Let's go, Wartortle, let's keep training! We must become stronger! We don't have to surpass Tyranitar and our master, but we should at least be able to surpass that idiot Ash!"

Seeing Xiao Mao studying diligently, Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction. At that moment, a mechanical voice echoed in Fang Yuan's mind.

[Ding~ Xiao Mao's exclusive mission: Rediscover Your Original Intentions +10%]

[Host receives mission reward: Evolution Potion (increases Pokémon's Individual Values ​​by 3-5 points)]

[Next stage mission reward: Evolution Potion x2]

Fang Yuan looked at the small, transparent needle tube that had appeared in his hand.

"This is the evolution potion?"

Inside the transparent syringe was a pale blue, unidentified liquid. In addition to this liquid, there were two double helix rings that looked like DNA, giving it a high-tech feel.

Fang Yuan temporarily put away the evolution potion, as he hadn't yet decided which Pokémon to use it on.

However, because of Xiao Mao's last words.

This also reminded Fang Yuan of that super rookie, Xiao Zhi.

"Logically speaking, since Gary has already arrived at the Matsumo Gym, is it possible that Ash also passed by the Matsumo Gym?"

Fang Yuan was quite curious to see Pikachu, which could withstand legendary Pokémon but get utterly defeated by starter Pokémon.

"And the Rockets and Meowth, I have to say, I'm actually looking forward to it."

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends, who had been lost in a forest for three days, let out painful cries.

"Where is the road?! I miss the soft blankets at the Pokémon Center and the curry rice."

Pikachu listlessly climbed onto Ash's shoulder.

"Xiao Zhi! You're complaining now! If it weren't for your insistence on relying on your intuition, how would we have ended up in this deep mountain forest?!"

"This forest looks gloomy and creepy, and it's teeming with insects! I can't stand it for even a second longer!!!"

Next to Ash, Misty also put on a mask of pain.

Seeing the two arguing, Xiao Gang had no choice but to stand between them and say...

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Let's save our energy to get out of here."

At the Matsuzo Dojo, right after Fang Yuan and Xiao Mao's battle ended.

The incubator that Fang Yuan had placed in the warehouse seemed to sense something, and when Tyranitar appeared, the entire Pokémon egg shook noticeably.

It even emitted a faint white light, clearly indicating that this pseudo-legendary Pokémon egg was only one step away from hatching.

Chapter 11 Flashy Yukira

In the backyard of the Matsumo Gym, there used to be quite a few Pokémon, with the number reaching over a hundred at its peak.

Now the entire backyard is empty, with only the occasional Pidgey and Pidgey bird pausing briefly on the treetops.

Back then, Fang Yuan's cheap father spent a lot of effort to build miniature volcanoes, snow-capped mountains, deserts, and other environments, but there was not a trace of elves in them.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan sighed helplessly, then took out Tyranitar's Poké Ball and said...

"Come out, Bangiras."

Bangilas saw the familiar desert not far away, and its huge green body hopped back to the desert it knew.

With the arrival of Bangilas, the entire desert seemed to come alive, welcoming their master home.

Bangilas lay comfortably in the sand, leisurely enjoying a sand bath.

Aside from the desert area, the most lively place in the entire spacious backyard is the wetland by the river.

There, Mudskippers, Bubbles, and Frogmen all train together on their own.

Mudkip is doing basic strength training, and it has several sandbags strapped to its body.

The floating bubbles, on the other hand, are for training aiming skills.

The fast-swimming frogman often acts as a coach, guiding the two little guys from the sidelines.

Upon seeing Fang Yuan approaching, Mudkip and Bubbles immediately scurried over to him.

"Good, good, keep up the good work in training, I'll give you a special treat tonight."

Fang Yuan generously offered a bowl of energy cubes to the fast-swimming frog.

"These are all yours."

The fast-moving frog nodded happily as it saw the energy cube being handed to it.

After two days of training, Mudkip and Bubblefish have each increased their levels by one and two respectively.

They reached level 10 and level 8 respectively.

Fang Yuan held the Mudfish and the Floating Bubble.

"You should focus on building a solid foundation first. Once you reach a higher level, I will guide you through specialized training."

Mudkip and Bubble nodded as if they understood.

Fang Yuan then pointed to the desert in the distance where a sandstorm was blowing.

"You should have seen that big guy just now, right? He's your new teacher. If I'm not here for a while, you can ask him any questions you have."

Although they appear to be floating bubbles, Mudkip and Bangla don't seem to go well together.

However, Mudkip evolves into a Ground-type.

The floating bubbles are highly adaptable to all weather conditions, so it's not a bad thing to let them communicate and exchange ideas with Bangiras.

If I can learn any combat skills from Tyranitar, that would be a huge win.

Mudkip and Bubbles nodded thoughtfully, their gazes toward the sandstorm gradually hardening.

As the successor of the Matsuzo Dojo.

Fang Yuan knew many methods for breeding Mudskippers and Bubblefish.

One breeding method even allows Mudkip and Bubblefish to be bred to near champion level!

However, some of these cultivation methods are frighteningly expensive.

Even Fang Yuan, as the dojo master, couldn't help but tremble when he saw the resources required for those cultivation methods.

Even the permanent evolution stone that Fang Yuan obtained by chance was only the tip of the iceberg of the resources needed.

Fortunately, the only good news is that these resources don't need to be found immediately.

Instead, it gradually improves as Mudkip and Bubble grow.

However, this was enough to make Fang Yuan feel immense pressure.

"Perhaps this is the trouble of happiness."

Fang Yuan uttered a statement that would seem quite Versailles to an ordinary trainer.

Just as Mudkip and Bubbles were eagerly running over, wanting Tyranitar to give them some pointers...

Suddenly, the previously stable sandstorm trembled violently, as if it had discovered a pleasant surprise.

At this time, it wasn't just Bangiras in the sandstorm that was discovered.

Fang Yuan's eyes widened in shock, then his shock quickly turned into delight.

"This feeling! There's no mistake, the pseudo-legendary Pokémon egg has hatched!"

Although Mudkip and Bubbles looked confused, both Fang Yuan and Tyranitar sensed a force surging towards one place from underground.

Fang Yuan and Bangiras rushed into the warehouse in two strides.

The warehouse, which had been perfectly normal, was now gleaming with an earthy yellow light.

The rich ground-type energy gathered on that seemingly ordinary, earthy-yellow Pokémon egg.

This pseudo-legendary Pokémon egg, which was favored by Mother Earth even before it was born, is undoubtedly related to the ground.

Bangilas stared at Fang Yuan in disbelief.

That expression seemed to say, "Where did you get this elf egg?"

The fact that Tyranitar and Mother Earth are so fond of this elf egg is enough to prove its identity.

That's right, this is a Larvitar's Pokémon egg!

The earthy yellow ground energy became increasingly concentrated.

The egg burst forth with a dazzling white light amidst the expectant gazes of Fang Yuan and the other elves.

The fairy egg has hatched.

As the light faded, a bright green Larvitar opened its eyes, bewildered, inside the incubator.

Among all the elves and humans, Lark's first glance fell on Fang Yuan.

The tear stains unique to the Yugira clan make Yugira look adorable, and even its blood-red pupils cannot hide its innocent charm.

Upon seeing Yukira, Fang Yuan trembled with excitement.

Because this Tyranitar is entirely emerald green!

This is a shiny Larvitar!

【Pokémon: Tyranitar (Shiny)♂】

【Level: 1】

[Talent: Excellent (Physical Attack: 30, Special Attack: 30, Defense: 26, Special Defense: 28, Speed: 26, HP: 28) Total: 168]

【Characteristic: Sand Shadow (Conceals your form during sandstorms, Evasion +1)】

[Skills: Dragon Dance (inherited), Pursuit (inherited), Tackle, Gaze, Falling Rocks.]

[Evaluation: A Tyranitar with exceptional talent, standing out even among its own kind; its small body contains limitless potential!]

"Shiny Larvitar! It really is Shiny Larvitar!"

Chapter 12 Tyranitar with Dual Traits, the True Emperor of the Sandstorm!

Fang Yuan felt so happy he was about to faint.

Among all the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Fang Yuan's favorite is Larvitar, with its incredibly powerful strength and a move pool so vast that it makes other pseudo-legendary Pokémon drool.

(Specifically referring to a certain dragon-type pseudo-legendary that can't learn Dragon Dance)

It boasts top-tier physical attack and an incredibly wide-ranging special attack move pool. Even if it were to take a step back, it could learn to set up entry hazards, making it incredibly annoying and relentless in pursuit.

With these magical items, even if you only have one quadruple counter or multiple double counters, you can still become one of the most popular pseudo-gods.

If a super-evolution of Bangalore is discovered in the future, then perhaps even this "one of" won't be necessary.

Furthermore, Tyranitar's Sandstorm ability makes it the undisputed super core of the Sandstorm team!

"Wait, Larvitar's characteristics seem a bit..."
