The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

"Can I have both of these ancient Pokémon?"

"I can actually transform ordinary Pokémon into their Dynamax forms now. What I need now is more research material."

"To make a regular Pokémon Dynamax?!"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Cynthia's eyes widened in shock.

At this moment, Cynthia's gaze towards Fang Yuan became even more unusual.

"Not only is he a divine beast partner, but he is also very talented in research. Although his own strength is a bit weak, he is still a rare talent!"

In Cynthia's mind, Fang Yuan's rating rose significantly once again.

Cynthia hesitated for a moment before saying

"Alright, these two ancient Pokémon will be temporarily entrusted to Gym Leader Fang for safekeeping, but what about your research on Dynamax..."

Fang Yuan nodded quickly.

"If the research is successful, I'll be the first to send you one!"

Cynthia nodded slightly, revealing a mature woman's smile.

"Don't worry, we won't let Master Fang give it away for nothing."

. . . . . . . .

After discussing Dynamax and the fate of the ancient Pokémon, Fang Yuan looked at Cynthia and asked...

"I wonder what brings the champion to the Kanto region? Do you need my help?"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's question, Cynthia, who was drinking tea, nearly choked on it. She thought to herself...

'What am I supposed to say? That I'm here to assess whether my childhood betrothed is suitable?'

Cynthia pondered for a moment and said

"No, I'm just bringing the Kanto region around for a bit, consider it my tour after becoming a champion."

"Oh, I see!" Fang Yuan didn't think much of it, after all, even if Fang Yuan racked his brains, he wouldn't be able to guess Cynthia's true purpose in going to the Kanto region.

----------

Just as Fang Yuan successfully dealt with the ancient elves and turned them into power banks.

Meanwhile, Ash and Gary continued their respective journeys.

Although Ash and Gary each have a different number of Gym Badges, they still chose to travel together.

The original three-person team became a four-person team after Shigeru joined.

After being educated by Fang Yuan, Xiao Mao decisively abandoned his absurd idea of ​​traveling by car.

Start experiencing the charm of travel firsthand with your own two feet.

However, thanks to Gary's addition and after training with Bai Fangyuan, Ash's strength has increased by more than double.

The current Rockets trio is almost powerless against them.

This infuriated the Rockets' trio.

"Damn brat, we'll be back!"

Watching Team Rocket transform into shooting stars once again, Ash and Gary looked at Brock and said...

"Xiaogang, where are we going next?"

Xiao Gang took out the map and looked at it for a while before saying...

"Let me see... Normally we should go to the Vermilion City Gym to challenge Lt. Surge, but it seems there's a newly opened gym in a town near Vermilion City not long ago."

"And it seems to be a gym run by Lt. Surge's cousin, so you have to take a slightly longer route, and it's not one of the eight gyms in the league."

"And this dojo is quite famous, but I've heard they seem to go a bit too far when they fight..."

"It doesn't have a good reputation."

Unfortunately, Ash and Gary decisively chose to ignore Brock's discovery.

These aren't badges from the eight gyms. Since the gyms had just opened, these things weren't seen as flaws by Ash and Gary; rather, they were seen as strengths!

"Let's go! We'll head to that dojo!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

However, what Ash and Gary didn't know was that not all gym owners were like Fang Yuan.

Chapter 117 Maslow's Cousin, an Incompetent Dojo Master

In a town not far from Vermilion City, Ash, Gary, and their friends took a short break at the Pokémon Center.

Although Ash is still that passionate young man, he is no longer a passionate fool.

Instead of doing what they did before, they will challenge gyms as soon as they arrive in a new city, and instead rest at the Pokémon Center first.

Just as Ash and his friends arrived at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, they saw a female rookie trainer leading a severely injured Pidgey towards the center.

"Popeye, hang in there, Popeye! We're almost at the Pokémon Center!"

Ash and his friends slowly frowned.

Seeing this, Xiao Mao frowned, reached out and flicked his hair.

"It seems that this gym leader has the same fighting style as Lt. Surge."

"It just goes to show that birds of a feather flock together."

Upon entering the Pokémon Center, one finds Pokémon covered in wounds, Nurse Joy working tirelessly, and numerous rookie trainers on the verge of a breakdown.

"My God, isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"

Seeing the injured Pokémon at the Pokémon Center, Misty stared in shock at the scene before her, which resembled a car crash.

Ash and his friends had all been gym leaders, and seeing the scene before them, they felt somewhat indignant.

Looking at the injured and suffering elves, Xiao Gang didn't hesitate much before speaking.

"Miss Joey, let me help you!"

"I'm coming too!"

"And I."

Ash and his group of four arrived at the Pokémon Center and, without even having a chance to rest, immediately began treating their Pokémon.

Fortunately, thanks to Fang Yuan's guidance, even Xiao Zhi has mastered basic treatment techniques.

The four of them, along with Miss Joy, worked until the afternoon before finally settling the injured elf in.

Miss Nurse looked at Ash and his friends with great gratitude and said...

"Thank you so much."

At this moment, Xiao Gang jumped out and said

"No, that's not true. It's just that I can't bear to see the elves suffering without healing."

Hearing Xiao Gang's words, Miss Joey was somewhat moved.

But the next second, Xiao Gang revealed his true nature and said...

"So, may I invite you to dinner? Someone as beautiful as you..."

Before Xiaogang could finish speaking, Xiaoxia grabbed him by the ear and threw him aside.

Seeing this scene before him, Xiao Mao was amazed, as it was the first time he had ever witnessed it.

After Brock was dragged away, Gary and Ash stood in front of Nurse Joy and couldn't help but ask...

“Miss Joy, how come there are so many seriously injured challengers? And there are also a lot of new trainers.”

Hearing Ash and Gary's questions, Nurse Joy sighed helplessly.

"That's all thanks to the new dojo master, Ma Zhiqi."

"Our city's gym is called the Speed ​​Gym. It was originally one of the League's recommended gyms for beginners, but ever since the new gym came."

"He's getting harsher and harsher on these new trainers every day, and I don't know what to do anymore."

After listening to Nurse Joy's complaints, Ash and Gary walked outside with mixed feelings.

Xiao Zhi was the first to speak up.

"I really don't understand how someone like that can become a gym leader!"

Seeing Ash's indignation, Gary patted him on the shoulder and said...

"That's why our master is such a rare exception."

However, Ash and Gary were at a loss for what to do in this situation, and after hurling a few curses, they had nothing more to say.

Just then, Ash suddenly saw the new trainer who had taken Pidgey to the Pokémon Center during the day.

At that moment, she was squatting alone in a corner, silently shedding tears.

"Are you OK?"

Xiao Zhi stepped forward to comfort the other person.

"Don't worry, Pokémon are stronger than you think. Pidgey will be able to get out of bed in a week at most," Gary said, stepping forward.

Faced with Ash and Gary's comforting words, the girl quickly wiped away her tears and said...

"Thank...thank you all. If it weren't for your help, Bobo would still be..."

The girl's expression showed resentment and dejection, but more than anything, it showed heartache for the seriously injured Bobo.

"Do you think someone like me is too unqualified to be a trainer?"

Just as Ash and Gary were about to say something, the girl wiped away her tears and thanked Ash and Gary again.

Then he left with a dejected look in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi immediately felt uneasy, as if there was a feeling of anger that he couldn't express.

"She clearly followed the League's advice and chose the initial Gym Leader..."

At this moment, Xiao Mao also squatted down on the ground.

It wasn't just Ash who was upset; as a second-generation trainer of the League's Red and White Banner, Gary had never been mistreated in his life except when he was under Fang Yuan's control.

But now Xiao Mao also feels an inexplicable fire burning in his heart.

Moreover, Shigeru has been the longest-serving acting manager at the Matsuzaki Dojo, and is practically a dojo master himself. He has a deep understanding of the responsibilities that a dojo master bears.

"Oh, I can't stand it anymore!"

"We must let this gym leader know what a qualified gym leader should do!"

Seeing Ash's eagerness to let loose, Gary nodded in agreement.

"That's right! He needs to be taught a lesson!"

"Being a dojo master isn't something you can just do because you're strong!"

--------

The next day, Ash and his friends went to the famous Speed ​​Gym.

Looking at the lightning bolt symbol above the Speedy Gym, Shigeru couldn't help but complain.

"Isn't the Speed ​​Gym supposed to be a gym that specializes in fast Pokémon? It's practically become an Electric-type gym now, isn't it?"

Ash, on the other hand, said with an indifferent expression.

Who cares what attribute it is!

Stepping inside the dojo, the decor was indeed no different from that of the Maple Leaf Dojo.

Moreover, all the dojo disciples inside were delinquent teenagers with brightly colored hair.

When they saw Ash and Gary enter, the thugs looked at them with mocking expressions.

"Another unlucky guy has arrived!"

"I want to see how many unlucky guys will be beaten to tears by the boss this time."
