The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

"You call yourself a Gym Leader? I can't believe you've forgotten that Pokémon take double the damage from earthquakes when they're in burrows?"

"Although the technique is not a massive earthquake, the power of this huge stone wall hitting the ground is definitely no less than that of a small earthquake."

"A flash of inspiration during battle is important, but not all flashes of inspiration are useful."

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Ma Zhiqi, who had been smug, instantly turned pale.

It was obvious that Ma Zhiqi, who specialized in electrical engineering, had overlooked this inconspicuous little detail.

But it was this small detail that completely sealed Ma Zhiqi and Electabuzz's fate.

The enormous object slammed into the ground once more, its terrifying power causing the other trainers in the gym to feel the tremor with crystal clarity.

The Electabuzz let out a painful scream underground, but the scream was quickly drowned out by the enormous sound of it crashing into the ground.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, everyone looked at the battlefield with great curiosity.

"Could Electabuzz be out of the game?"

"Such a terrifying attack could indeed render someone incapable of fighting."

Listening to the chattering around him, Ma Zhiqi felt as if the sky had fallen.

Just when Ma Zhiqi was about to despair, suddenly, from the pile of rubble, the electric beast's arm barely stretched out.

"Electric beast!"

Ma Zhiqi was overjoyed; he never expected that Electabuzz would actually withstand that attack!

But just as Ma Zhiqi was overjoyed, Fang Yuan calmly continued to give instructions.

"Mumpfish, the final Dynamax Stream!"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's command, Ma Zhiqi's initial joy plummeted to rock bottom. The more excited he was just moments before, the more desperate he felt now.

【Max Aqua: A Water-type Dynamax move that changes the weather to rain after use.】

Mudkip opened its mouth, and a terrifying force, no less powerful than the floating bubbles, began to gather in front of it.

Looking at the enormous torrent of water that resembled Godzilla's atomic breath, Ma Zhiqi closed his eyes in despair.

A massive torrent of water shot out instantly!

The massive torrent of water, like a tsunami, once again severely damaged Electabuzz!

As the raindrops fell from the sky and the raging tide receded, Electabuzz managed to stand up with great difficulty.

Despite taking almost three Dynamax moves in a row, Electabuzz still had some stamina left.

Although Dynamaxing is very strong, it cannot directly increase the power of moves, so it is still a bit difficult to defeat an Electabuzz that is 10 levels higher than Mudkip in three moves.

After using the Dynamax move three times, Mudkip's Dynamax energy was completely depleted, and its size began to shrink until it returned to its original normal form.

Moreover, the Mudkip seemed to be out of breath, as if it had just finished warming up, because its physical condition was better than that of the Bubblefish.

Mudkip looked calmly at the Electabuzz in front of it, then charged out amidst the Electabuzz's terrified gaze.

Mudkip moved incredibly fast through the mud, arriving in front of Electabuzz almost instantly. Then, its sandbag-sized fist and the chilling aura emanating from it made Electabuzz feel the scent of defeat.

Mudkip unleashed a powerful punch!

Electabuzz was punched into the rubble and lost its ability to fight!

"He lost! Boss actually lost!"

Seeing Electabuzz lose its ability to battle, the thugs at the Speedy Gym felt as if the sky had fallen, their eyes glazed over.

On the other hand, the novice trainers who had been troubled by Ma Zhiqi had smiles of great joy on their faces!

"He won! This Master Fang actually won!"

"Master, you are the strongest!"

Although Ash and Gary didn't know what Dynamax was, they knew that Fang Yuan had won again, defeating another Gym Leader with an absolute crushing victory!

Mudkip casually flicked its hands, remaining expressionless amidst the cheers of the audience. Then, Mudkip actually put its hands behind its back and slowly walked off the battlefield.

For some reason, watching Mudkip leave with an indifferent expression, the audience couldn't help but think of the phrase "a master is as lonely as snow."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your Mudkip's level has increased from 33 to 34.]

Fang Yuan looked at the expressionless Mudkip with a sense of helplessness, thinking to himself...

'He clearly wanted to put on a show, but he acted like he didn't care about winning or losing.'

However, Fang Yuan did not explicitly state this, as he was quite open-minded about the elf's little hobby.

Fang Yuan rubbed the Mudkip's soft head and said

"Well done, you're probably not far from evolving."

The word "evolution" visibly excites even the most composed mudskipper.

At the same time, Fang Yuan looked at Yukira not far away and said...

"Yakira is probably coming soon too."

Fang Yuan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Ma Zhiqi, who was sitting on the ground with a dejected and desperate expression.

Fang Yuan walked step by step to Ma Zhiqi and said coldly.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Chapter 124 Pressing Closer, Cynthia's Curiosity

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Fang Yuan stood in front of Ma Zhiqi and said coldly.

Ma Zhiqi looked up at Fang Yuan, his eyes filled with resentment and anger, but he concealed these emotions very well.

Ma Zhiqi stood up, looked at Fang Yuan, and gave a fake smile.

"Master Fang's strength is indeed well-deserved; I am ashamed to admit my inferiority."

Hearing Ma Zhiqi's apology, Fang Yuan still shook his head in dissatisfaction.

"Do I need you to tell me how strong I am?"

Ma Zhiqi's lips twitched, and he forcefully suppressed his anger.

"Master Fang is right."

"Think about what you just did. I think my disciple needs an apology, and Pikachu needs an apology too."

'You actually want me to apologize to an elf!'

Ma Zhiqi was so frustrated he was practically spitting fire; his fists were clenched.

But then, Ma Zhiqi slowly released his hands, bowed respectfully to Xiao Zhi, and then bowed to Pikachu.

"I'm sorry! It was my poor management that allowed a Poison-type Pokémon to interfere with our battle. As the Gym Leader, I was wrong, and I apologize to you!"

Ash was caught off guard when he saw that Ma Zhiqi actually bowed and apologized to him and Pikachu.

He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said...

"Nothing, nothing."

Just when Ma Zhiqi thought he had finally gotten through this hurdle, Fang Yuan, still smiling, looked at him and said...

"What about those rookie trainers you injured? Shouldn't you apologize to them?"

"I'm sorry everyone! I failed in my responsibilities as a dojo master, and I apologize to everyone here!"

"I shouldn't have deliberately increased the difficulty of the gym battles, and I especially shouldn't have used words to attack everyone. I'm really sorry."

After Ma Zhiqi apologized to the rookie trainers in the gym, the group of rookie trainers exchanged glances, and their anger towards Ma Zhiqi dissipated by more than half.

After apologizing, Ma Zhiqi felt a slight sense of relief, and he silently thought to himself...

"Trying to force me to make a mistake? That's a long way off! We're both dojo masters. As long as I don't make any fundamental mistakes, there's nothing you can do to me!"

It has to be said that no one who can become a dojo master is stupid. Just as Ma Zhiqi thought, Fang Yuan did want to force Ma Zhiqi.

"Unfortunately, we couldn't take him down in one fell swoop."

Fang Yuan felt a little regretful.

Ma Zhiqi looked at Fang Yuan, opened his mouth and whispered...

"Fang Yuan, I lost to you slightly this time, but all you relied on was your Dynamax!"

"You've already revealed this technology; you'll have to announce it sooner or later!"

"When Dynamax is no longer your exclusive domain, I'll see what you have to fight me with!"

Fang Yuan looked at Ma Zhiqi with a helpless expression.

"Master Ma, you don't really think the difference between us is just a Dynamax, do you?"

Fang Yuan patted Ma Zhiqi on the shoulder and said

"Don't worry, Dynamax will be rolled out very quickly,"

"When the Eighth Avenue tournament comes around, we should be able to have a fair match as you see it."

Ma Zhiqi looked at Fang Yuandao with a smug expression.

"Master Fang, we'll meet again someday!"

After saying that, Fang Yuan lost interest in staying there any longer and left the Speed ​​Gym with Ash, Gary, and the others.

After Fang Yuan left the Speed ​​Dojo.

Ma Zhiqi vented his anger at a table.

"I have never felt this humiliated since I became the dojo master!"

"They actually forced me to apologize to an elf and those trash!"

"Fang Yuan! You just wait! Just you wait!"

"The day your so-called Dynamax is no longer a secret, I will make you pay for today's humiliation!"

"Without Dynamax, Fang Yuan is nothing!"

. . . . . .

After leaving the Speedy Gym, Fang Yuan looked at Ash and Gary and said...

"Continue your journey. There's not much time left until the Alliance Conference, so you'd better hurry."

"Yes, Master." X2

Ash and Gary said in unison

Then Fang Yuan looked at Xiao Zhi and said with some helplessness.

“When you’re out there, you need to use your brain more. What you did was right, but you can’t be too reckless. I can’t always be there to help you.”

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Xiao Zhi nodded somewhat shyly.

"Yes! I understand, Master!"

Fang Yuan then looked at Xiao Mao and said

"Xiao Mao, you did a great job this time. Just like this incident, think more before you act in the future."

"Yes, Master." Xiao Mao nodded quickly.

Fang Yuan looked at the sensible Xiao Mao and whispered...

"Good luck! If you can make it into the top four in this league tournament, I'll give you a big gift!"

Xiao Mao's eyes lit up.

"Okay, Master! I will do my best!"

Just as Fang Yuan was explaining things to Xiao Zhi and Xiao Mao, suddenly, a little girl stood in front of Fang Yuan and said in a sweet voice...

"Hello."

Xiao Mao was the first to recognize the girl.

"Don't worry, it's not that you're not suited to be a trainer, it's just that you're unlucky and have encountered a terrible gym leader."
