The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

Although Cynthia has been traveling for seven years and has visited almost every region, when it comes to marriage partners, Cynthia feels a complete blank in her mind.

Cynthia could only tell the truth at this point.

"I'm sorry, Grandma, I don't think I have anyone I like."

Hearing what Cynthia said, Grandma had an expression that said she had guessed correctly.

As if she had anticipated this situation, she took Cynthia's hand and said...

"I see, I just heard you seem to be going to the Kanto region?"

Sirona nodded.

"Then go ahead. There's someone you're betrothed to in the Kanto region."

What is a childhood betrothal?

Cynthia's grandmother coughed softly and looked into the distance.

"I had almost forgotten about this matter, but not long ago, a junior who was being hunted down by the Kanto Alliance came to Sinnoh, bringing with him that old man's token."

"It was just a joke from back then, but now the younger generation is coming to me for it."

"You can refuse, Grandma!"

"Of course I can refuse, but don't you not have anyone you like? How about we go to the Kanto region to meet them?"

“This…” Cynthia hesitated.

Seeing that Cynthia didn't immediately refuse, her grandmother quickly said...

"And you should know this person's name too."

His name is Fang Yuan.

"Fang Yuan? Is he the guy who befriended the legendary Pokémon Mewtwo? I heard he's also involved in Tyranitar's evolution?"

Cynthia said with some surprise

"That's right, it's him. Although he's from the Kanto region, even I, an old woman from Sinnoh, know a thing or two about him. He's a rare young genius in the League!"

"How about this, you can treat it as a trip to the Kanto region to relax and see some people. If you don't like it, we can leave right away, okay?"

Ultimately, after being persuaded by her grandmother, Cynthia finally agreed to the trip to the Kanto region.

However, before leaving, Cynthia looked at her grandmother and said...

"Let's make this clear beforehand, I'm just going to meet you briefly, and if it doesn't work out, I'll leave right away!"

Cynthia's grandmother nodded quickly.

"Of course, you're my precious granddaughter, the Sinnoh champion, how could I possibly settle for less? Everything will be done according to your wishes."

Hearing her grandmother's words, Cynthia did not refute them, and rode Garchomp into the sky.

The terrifying speed even drew a white line in mid-air.

After Cynthia left, Grandma stood there and said with some emotion.

Do you think your son can win Cynthia's heart?

Meanwhile, Fang Yuan's unreliable father had already traveled all the way from Kanto to Sinnoh, and upon hearing what Grandma Cynthia said...

"Sigh~ There's nothing I can do, I'm also very troubled. My son and a girl have been at the dojo for over a year and there's still no progress. I'm anxious too, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you guys."

"So your son's a blockhead too? Will that work?" Cynthia's grandmother said.

"No matter what, let them meet first. After all, they are among the best trainers in the league. It's not a bad thing for them to get to know each other better."

--------

At this moment, Fang Yuan was unaware that his long-lost father had actually arranged a marriage for him with someone he had been betrothed to since childhood.

And the person he's betrothed to since childhood is Cynthia!

The newly crowned champion of the Sinnoh region.

She is also one of only two female champions in the entire league right now!

It's no exaggeration to say that Cynthia is the strongest female trainer in the entire Pokémon world!

However, Fang Yuan was unaware of all of the above.

At this time, Fang Yuan was searching for traces of other legendary ancient elves.

Because in the anime, besides the ancient Alakazam, there are also ancient Jigglypuff and ancient Gengar.

Fang Yuan didn't want to one day fall asleep and suddenly find himself surrounded by monsters (ancient elves).

Fang Yuan led Shinji to the place where they bought the superpower spoons and said...

"Is this where you bought the superpowered spoons?"

Shinji nodded.

“That’s right, Master. My brother and I bought the superpowered spoons around here.”

After handing Shinji over to Fang Yuan, Raiji left Matsumo City.

To be even more precise, Raiji left the Kanto region directly and went to the Toyogen region.

Lei Si is quite strong, and has even won a regional league championship.

Furthermore, after winning the League Tournament, Raiji gained the qualification to directly challenge the Four Heavenly Kings of the region.

But after his battle with the Elite Four, Lei Si knew very well that even if he worked hard for a lifetime, it would be difficult for him to become a trainer at the level of the Elite Four.

After that, Lei Si set his sights on the battle expansion zone in the Fengyuan region, wanting to try his luck there.

But what Lei Si didn't know was that he would be greeted by a real divine beast, and that his Dao heart would be shattered as a result.

Although Fang Yuan had kindly reminded Lei Si, Lei Si was ultimately determined to leave.

Faced with Raiji's departure, Shinji could only offer his silent blessings.

--------

"Bought in this area?" Fang Yuan asked, scratching the back of his head.

At this moment, Shinji looked at the bustling street full of vendors and said somewhat apologetically.

"Master, what should we do now?"

"I should have gotten their contact information."

However, to Shinji's surprise, Fang Yuan responded quite calmly.

"Don't worry, as long as he's still in Songzao City, I'll be able to find him."

Chapter 111 A Clash of Bonds and Reason, Ancient Researcher

"Don't worry, as long as he's still in Songzao City, I'll have someone help me find him."

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Shinji was still somewhat skeptical.

After all, in Shinji's opinion, the Gym Leader's status didn't seem to be that high.

The first dojo Shinji encountered was the Tokiwa Dojo.

It was shut down immediately, and even the dojo's door was sealed off.

The second gym Shinji visited, the Cerulean Gym, was an even bigger mess; it was more like a performance venue than a gym.

Shinji obtained the Water Drop Badge with almost no effort.

The Pewter City Gym further exposed Shinji to the lowest level of Gym Leaders.

The gym leader of Nibi City at the time was Brock's father.

However, due to the other party's disappearance over the years, his reputation in Nibi City is quite poor.

When Shinji mentioned challenging the Pewter City Gym, the people of Pewter City told him that the current Gym Leader was an irresponsible scoundrel.

If it weren't for Reiji being a seasoned trainer with considerable experience who corrected Shinji's thinking in time...

Shinji would probably be just like Tsubaki, looking down on the title of gym leader.

Shinji then challenged several more gyms.

They also clearly understood the vast, unbridgeable gap between dojo masters in the Kanto region.

However, almost all the gym leaders in the Kanto region have one thing in common: from Blaine to the Poison-type gym leaders, they are all a bunch of weirdos.

This made Shinji a little curious: could his master really get the residents of Matsumo City to help him find someone?

Fang Yuan did not directly answer Shinji's question.

Instead, he had Shinji tell him the person's height, appearance, and other information.

Fang Yuan then sent this information to Miss Officer Jenny.

With the help of Officer Jenny, a portrait of the 'criminal' was quickly obtained.

Once you have the portrait, it's very simple.

Fang Yuan distributed the portrait directly to the surrounding residents.

Upon seeing that it was Fang Yuan, the curator of the museum, who had given them the portrait, the surrounding residents immediately assured him...

"Don't worry, Master Fang! We will definitely find this person!"

"That's right! Master Fang, just wait for the good news!"

"I think I remember this person!"

.........

Shinji was completely dumbfounded by the vast crowd. He looked at Fang Yuan and couldn't help but ask...

"Master Fang! How did you do that?"

Seeing Shinji's shocked expression, Fang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said...

"When you can bring fame and visitors to your hometown."

"When you can make sure that the elderly in your hometown have jobs, that people who have gone out to work can return to their hometowns, and that Songzao City has an additional economic pillar, then you will know how I did it."

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Shinji nodded, only half understanding.

After all, discussing things like economic development with trainers like Shinji and his friends who travel all over the world is too far removed from their lives.

All they need to know is that Fang Yuan, as the gym leader of Matsuzo City, still has a certain amount of reputation and influence in the city.

After sending out the portrait of the wanted poster (crossed out), Fang Yuan and Shinji returned to the dojo to wait for news.

While waiting for news at the dojo, Fang Yuan looked at the still somewhat immature Shinji and asked him a very crucial question.

"Shinji, how do you treat your Spirits?"

Shinji was stunned when he heard Fang Yuan's question.

His mind was filled with questions. After hesitating for a while, he still spoke very honestly.

"I think that for elves, victory is more important than bonds and friendship!"

"If we lose, we'll have nothing left!"

"But bonds of friendship and such things cannot bring victory! On the contrary, thinking too much about these things will lead to defeat!"

Upon hearing Shinji's statement, Fang Yuan did not respond directly, but instead took a sip of tea.

"That's a really good idea."

Shinji looked at Fang Yuandao with a puzzled expression.

“Master...aren’t you going to correct me? My brother often says that this kind of thinking is not right, but I feel that there is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking.”

"Weak Pokémon are not suitable for trainers. Pokémon are about aptitude, tactics, personality and other things."

"I........"

Fang Yuan remained remarkably calm as he listened to Shinji's speech.

After all, Shinji's statement reflects a very typical player's mindset.

"Pursuing strength and becoming a better spirit is fine. Although I am your master, it doesn't mean you have to become stronger exactly as I want."
