The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

"There is more than one path to becoming stronger. As long as the general direction is not wrong, I will not force you to make a choice."

Shinji looked at Fang Yuan with deep emotion.

As Fang Yuan held the teacup in his hand, he couldn't help but think of another person, a disciple who valued bonds, the feelings of elves, and the emotions of elves immensely.

"When the bond between elves meets absolute rationality."

"These two have really interesting ideas."

"No wonder Cynthia enjoyed watching Ash and Shinji's arguments and conflicts so much in the anime."

"This is really interesting, so interesting!"

Moreover, they have all become Fang Yuan's disciples now, and it is clear that under Fang Yuan's tutelage, they will become even stronger than in the animation!

However, this will also intensify the ideological clash between the two sides.

Moreover, in terms of ideological differences, Ash and Shinji are truly two extremes. Fang Yuan is also very curious about what kind of sparks will fly when the two meet again in the future.

Just as Shinji was getting a little uneasy under Fang Yuan's gaze, Fang Yuan's phone suddenly rang.

Good news has arrived.

Fang Yuan glanced at the phone and said

"Let's go, that person has been found, but it's not what I thought. This person doesn't seem to be a thief."

"On the contrary, it is an ancient researcher who has to sell props to continue his excavation because of a broken funding chain."

Fang Yuan led Shinji and the Nine-Tails...

"Come on, let me see what this researcher has found!"

Meanwhile, Cynthia had also arrived in the Kanto region. Looking at the map in her hand, she said...

"Garuda, this way, this is the direction of Matsumo City."

Chapter 112 Is Cynthia a Tomb Raider?

"You're the archaeologist who discovered the superpower spoon?"

Fang Yuan looked at the people in front of him who were bound hand and foot by the residents of Songzao City, and asked with some curiosity.

At this moment, the archaeologist who had been 'invited' over looked at Fang Yuan somewhat nervously and said...

"I...I haven't done anything illegal, Master Fang, why did you bring me here?"

"Really? Where did this come from?"

Fang Yuan took out a replica of the super-powered spoon and placed it in front of the other party.

"I remember the Alliance seems to prohibit the sale of these artifacts, right? You've broken the law, you know that?"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's question, the archaeologist's expression immediately changed, and then he sighed helplessly.

"I didn't want this either, but it's all my investor's fault for not recognizing my worth!"

As he spoke, an intense light shone in the archaeologist's eyes.

"Based on my research and the murals on the walls, I know that three gods should be sleeping in that ancient ruin!"

"Moreover, whenever a conflict arises between two gods, a third god will appear to mediate the war."

"With this setup, plus the appearance of gods, Master Fang! What was the first thing that came to your mind?!"

Fang Yuan stroked his chin and said

"The Three Gods of Fengyuan? Or perhaps the Z God from the distant Carlos region?"

What is Z God?

The other party hesitated for a moment, then continued.

"That's right! It's the Three Gods of Fengyuan! That ruin is related to the legendary Three Gods of Fengyuan!"

"But no one believed me. They all thought I had lost my mind and that there was nothing in the ruins except a pile of garbage."

"But I wasn't satisfied! So I stayed in that ruin alone to dig, determined to find the traces of the Three Gods of Fengyuan!"

"So, in order to continue exploring that ruin, you took these... 'junk' items and sold them?"

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, the other party scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said...

"I have no choice, I'm out of money, and these things aren't exactly rare in the ruins, so I'm selling them temporarily. I'll find them again when I make some money!"

Hearing what the other person said, Fang Yuan was speechless for a moment.

After all, the other party's translation of the ruins was quite accurate.

Unfortunately, he overestimated the knowledge of people in that era; the gods they spoke of were not the legendary Three Gods of Fengyuan.

Gengar, Jigglypuff, and Alakazam are simply using Dynamax energy to maintain their normal Dynamax state.

They are not gods at all.

In his search for the non-existent Fengyuan Three Gods, this guy ended up selling off the most valuable items in the entire ruins at a bargain price.

This left Fang Yuan somewhat helpless.

Fang Yuan looked at the archaeologist in front of him and said

"What's your name?"

"My name is Shi Ze!"

"Ishizawa, right? I have some bad news for you. That ruin has nothing to do with the Three Gods of Hogen. The things depicted on those murals are just special spirits that are called gods."

"ah?!!!"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Shi Ze was instantly dumbfounded, staring blankly at the spot.

"This...how is this possible!"

"Why would I lie to you? Besides, you searched that ruin for so long, did you really find any information about the Three Gods of Fengyuan? You should know that better than anyone else, right?"

Fang Yuan's words were like a sledgehammer, jolting Shi Ze, who was lost in a dream, awake.

A desperate smile appeared on Ishizawa's lips.

"Master Fang's words were indeed sharp."

"Sigh, I've been deceiving myself all along."

Ishizawa raised his hands and said

"Thank you, Master Fang, for making me realize the truth. Now, I'll probably be facing imprisonment, won't I?"

Looking at Shi Ze with his hands raised, Fang Yuan waved his hand dismissively.

"Alright, I didn't come to arrest you. Since you've studied that ruin so thoroughly, take me to bring out all the items inside."

"Although the elves in the ruins are not true gods, their destructive power is in no way weaker than that of the true gods."

"Your research is not without value."

"Really... really? Master Fang! That's wonderful, absolutely wonderful! My research has paid off."

Seeing Shi Ze excitedly gesturing, Fang Yuan couldn't help but remind him.

"It's time to set off! Better to avoid any unforeseen complications."

“Alright, Curator Fang, I’ll take you to that ruin.”

--------

With Ishizawa leading the way, Fang Yuan, Shinji, and Kurama quickly arrived at the excavation site of the ruins.

However, wherever the Nine-Tails appears, it always attracts more attention.

Fang Yuan was already used to their gazes.

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said

"Let's go, let's go."

Fang Yuan's confidence in having Shi Ze lead the way to the ruins came entirely from the Poké Balls on his waist.

[Poké Ball (White): An ordinary Poké Ball, but it contains Mewtwo's spiritual power.]

Fang Yuan tested it and found that as long as the psychic shield inside the Poké Ball is activated, Mewtwo can sense the coordinates inside the Poké Ball and can use its psychic powers to teleport there directly, arriving in an average of three minutes.

Although Mewtwo scolded me for a long time after the test.

But before leaving, Mewtwo still helped Fang Yuan fill in the psychic power coordinates inside the Poké Ball.

This is why Fang Yuan dared to bring Shi Ze and Shinji to the ruins.

Fang Yuan silently thought to himself, you'd better just obediently act as my power banks.

If they really manage to escape, I'll show you what true divine power is!

Just as Shi Ze led Fang Yuan and Shinji to the entrance of the ruins, Shi Ze's expression suddenly changed!

He looked at Fang Yuan with a panicked expression and said...

"Master Fang! Someone else has entered the ruins!"

“Every time I leave the ruins, I put a spider silk thread at the entrance of the cave, but now not only is the spider silk gone, but there is also a series of very strange footprints on the ground!”

Upon hearing Ishizawa's words, Shinji tensed up instantly, feeling a chill run down his spine as he looked at the dark cave entrance in front of him.

Fang Yuan, however, remained remarkably calm and said...

"Who cares who went in? I'm going to take on this ancient elf from the ruins. Hopefully, this 'thief' won't be too strong."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't be greeted by my elf."

Meanwhile, deep within these ruins, Cynthia, gazing at the murals on the walls, couldn't help but say...

"These murals are absolutely gorgeous! And they're so well preserved. Although they're not related to mythical beasts, they do record in detail the gods worshipped by ancient... no, I mean, the gods worshipped by the super-ancient people?"

"These are really interesting murals; they're worth studying carefully."

It's clear that Cynthia is also very interested in this ruin.

She was even more interested in him than in Fang Yuan, her childhood sweetheart.

Just as Cynthia was gazing at the mural with fascination, Garchomp beside her suddenly opened its eyes.

Cynthia, being Cynthia's longtime partner, immediately understood what Garchomp meant.

"Has someone else come in?"

"Although the murals here are very interesting, they have not been extensively excavated. The Alliance report also says that development here has stopped."

"So the people who came are tomb raiders?"

Chapter 113 The Unlucky Gengar God

Just when both Shirona and Fang Yuan thought the other was a tomb raider.

The true owner of this ruin was one of the elves who were revered as gods by the ancient people.

The ancient Gengar slowly opened its eyes.

A pair of scarlet demon eyes gleamed with a terrifying light, unlike the seemingly gentle ancient Alakazam.

The ancient Gengar, being a Ghost-type Pokémon, had a significantly stronger malevolent aura.

Clearly, he's not an easy person to get along with.

"Humans! I smell humans!"

"These damned humans, they created this monstrous sealing artifact that has trapped the great god!"

"But how could such a cage hold me captive forever? Today is the day my great Gengar God is freed!"

"Let your blood be the first offering for my Gengar to break free!"

At this moment, a ghostly aura continuously emanated from a sealed object that resembled an hourglass.

This ghostly energy is constantly corroding the sealed artifact.

The ancient Gengar's efforts over thousands of years to escape its predicament are admirable.
