The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

Fang Yuan looked at Ma Zhiqi and said coldly.

"Of course, if anyone dares to use underhanded tactics against my disciples, I won't let them get away with it!"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Ma Zhiqi felt a sudden pang of panic.

'Has something been discovered? Impossible! I was very discreet!'

Just then, Mudkip came to Fang Yuan's side carrying the weakened Pikachu.

Fang Yuan picked up Pikachu and showed its condition to the audience, then said...

"I didn't originally want to interrupt Ash's challenge, since Ash already had the upper hand."

"But I suddenly realized that Pikachu got poisoned during the battle!"

"That's why your performance dipped in an instant!"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, the audience all nodded.

Chapter 122 Gigantamax Mudkip, a Desperate Opponent

At this moment, Ma Zhiqi panicked even more, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Where's the evidence?!"

"Then produce some evidence!"

At this moment, Ma Zhiqi immediately interrupted Fang Yuan's speech.

"Poisoning is an abnormal status, and under normal circumstances, a Pokémon will only be affected by one abnormal status."

At this moment, Fang Yuan summoned one of the audience's Chandelures and used the Will-O-Wisp move on the weakened Pikachu.

At this moment, the audience could clearly see that the will-o'-the-wisp of the Chandelier was floating on Pikachu's body, but it just couldn't penetrate Pikachu's body.

Abnormal status is essentially a negative state caused by the invasion of different attributes, and right now Pikachu's body is already full of them.

"It seems to be true!"

"I never imagined that this method could be used to determine if an elf is poisoned."

Fang Yuan took out a sweet peach and fed it to Pikachu, and Pikachu quickly regained its energy.

At this point, Ma Zhiqi already felt the difficulty of getting information. The scrutinizing, questioning, and disdainful looks from those around him almost crushed him.

The immense mental pressure nearly drove Ma Zhiqi to a breakdown.

But at the last moment, Ma Zhiqi gritted his teeth and said...

"That only proves Pikachu was poisoned! How can you prove I poisoned it?!"

Fang Yuan sighed helplessly, as if he had already anticipated this situation.

"Since we can't persuade you, let's wait until we've captured you before we talk!"

Fang Yuan reached out and stopped the restless Cynthia, saying...

"Leave it to me. I can handle a second-rate gym leader."

Ma Zhiqi took a deep breath and said

"You think you can judge me? You're not worthy!"

As Ma Zhiqi's cousin, Ma Zhiqi naturally knew that Fang Yuan had become famous in the past few months.

However, he has always relied on external forces; his own strength can only be described as average.

Fang Yuan's father fled overseas, and Tyranitar was also taken away. The Nine-Tails, a Celestial-level creature, was said to be seriously injured and unable to fight.

As for the so-called mythical beast companions, Ma Zhiqi didn't believe it at all.

Moreover, being able to borrow the power of a divine beast temporarily is completely different from being able to borrow its power continuously!

"Go! My ace!"

A Thunderbolt roared and charged out.

This Electabuzz is level 45!

Even among elite-level Pokémon, it is considered one of the stronger ones.

This is the trump card that Ma Zhiqi has painstakingly cultivated over many years!

Facing an Electabuzz of level 45, Fang Yuan generally doesn't have any good solutions.

But there's good news: this is indoors, inside the dojo.

Another piece of good news is that Fang Yuan casually tossed the Dynamax Energy Device into his system space and brought it with him before he came over.

And just now, while no one was paying attention, Fang Yuan had already had Tyranitar and Bubble install the Dynamax Device.

Although it is invisible to the average person, this battlefield is indeed filled with purple Dynamax energy at this moment.

Fang Yuan took out the Mudkip's Poké Ball and put the Mudkip back into the Poké Ball.

"Go, Dynamax Mudkip!"

"Gigantamax?"

When Fang Yuan mentioned Dynamax, the audience couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

Even Ash and Gary were completely baffled.

I've never heard of Dynamax before.

Only Cynthia's eyes widened suddenly upon hearing the word "Dynamax".

Even one eye, hidden by golden bangs, shone with an astonishing light.

Others may not recognize Dynamax, but Cynthia does.

She had heard Fang Yuan describe Dynamax, and even left two ancient Pokémon with him as research subjects, all for the sake of the Dynamax Fang Yuan spoke of.

But as the saying goes, seeing is believing, and Cynthia was also very curious about what kind of power this so-called Dynamax had!

Then, to the utter astonishment of the crowd, the Mudkip's Poké Ball in Fang Yuan's hand continued to expand and expand!

It even grew to the size of a small car very quickly!

Fang Yuan used all his strength to throw Mudkip's Dynamax Poké Ball into the air.

The giant Poké Ball exploded.

A Dynamaxed Mudkip, over 28 meters tall and of completely unknown weight, appeared in the gym.

With just its appearance, Mudkip's terrifying weight instantly crushed the Speed ​​Gym's battleground, turning it into ruins.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!"

Looking at the giant Swampert that looked like it had escaped from an Ultraman movie set, Ma Zhiqi was devastated.

"What the hell is this?!"

"Is this really an elf?!"

Ma Zhiqi stared at the Mudkip in front of him, speechless with shock.

That's a foul!

At this point, Ma Zhiqi forced himself to criticize Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan, however, said with an indifferent expression...

"A foul? Then you can choose not to fight, and then come with me to find Miss Officer Jenny?"

"This is a brand new combat system that Professor Oak and I developed together, and it will definitely be approved by the League in the future."

Ma Zhiqi forced himself to calm down and looked at the Mudkip, which resembled a monster.

"Calm down! This Mudkip may be big, but its strength is the same as when it first appeared. It's just a level 30+ Pokémon!"

"Electabuzz is almost ten levels higher than its opponent! As long as I play steadily, I'm sure to win!"

"I still have hope!"

"Besides, with such a large size, it's impossible for it to dodge attacks. It's a pure head-on collision, and my Electabuzz will definitely not lose!"

It must be said that although Ma Zhiqi is a very bad person, he is better than Lei Si in terms of both combat experience and fighting spirit.

"He's not exactly a complete waste of space."

"But what's the point?"

"Mumpfish, Giant Earth!"

【Dynamax Earth: A Ground-type Dynamax move that increases the user's Special Defense by 1 after use】

The Dynamaxed Mudkip slammed its paws into the ground.

A massive slab of rock, comparable in size to the entire battlefield, rose up with a deafening roar, crashing down upon Electabuzz with an oppressive force.

Although Ma Zhiqi had prepared for the worst.

But when Ma Zhiqi actually saw the huge rock slab that was comparable in size to the entire battlefield, he was somewhat taken aback.

Ma Zhiqi could only let Electabuzz use Protect to stall for one turn, as he didn't believe Mudkip could maintain this special state indefinitely!

The massive rock slab crashed down on Electabuzz with terrifying speed and mass.

Although Electabuzz managed to protect it, the Dynamax move's effect still managed to smash a large hole into the usually invincible Protector.

The remaining rocks crashed down the large hole onto Electabuzz.

Electabuzz suffered considerable damage.

And at that moment, Ma Zhiqi clearly saw that the Mudkip's momentum had not diminished but increased.

"This move not only broke the defense."

"Special defense has been upgraded?!"

Ma Zhishi finally understood the same sense of despair that Lei Si had felt back then.

Chapter 123 Defeating Ma Zhiqi, the brooding Mudkip

After witnessing the immense power of the Earth, Ma Zhiqi's composure crumbled, and he couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.

"Have some shame!!"

"Even if you win using this cheating fighting style, what good will it do? Does it prove you're strong?"

Seeing Ma Zhiqi was about to explode with anger, Fang Yuan shook his head and said...

"You have to keep track of time when you talk, too."

As soon as Fang Yuan finished speaking, the Mudkip slammed into the ground once again, and the huge rock slab reappeared.

"Again!?"

Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said

Why change a move that works?

Seeing the massive earth slamming down on him again, Ma Zhiqi cursed repeatedly, desperately trying to think of a way to turn the tide.

It must be said that although Ma Zhiqi's character is terrible, his command skills are still very strong.

Seeing the giant stone slab about to crash down on him, Ma Zhiqi reluctantly came up with a solution that was hardly a solution.

"Electabuzz, use Brick Break on the ground!"

Upon hearing Ma Zhiqi's words, Electabuzz immediately understood and began pounding its fists into the battlefield.

Although Electabuzz couldn't learn to dig burrows first, it managed to dig a nearly two-meter-deep pit in the ground with its bare hands by using Brick Breaker.

It can't compare to a real burrowing move, but it's enough for Electabuzz to hide in.

"I'm such a genius!"

Just as Ma Zhiqi was feeling smug about his tactics...

Both Xiao Zhi and Fang Yuan were stunned when they saw Ma Zhiqi's command.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but shake his head, not even resorting to mockery, but instead looking at Ma Zhiqi with a pitying gaze.
