The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

"That's right, that's right, you don't need to thank me too much!"

Xiao Zhi rubbed his nose a little shyly, clearly waiting for the little girl's praise.

But then the little girl said to Fang Yuan somewhat shyly.

"Thank you, Master Fang, for standing up for us!"

"If it weren't for you, who knows how much longer this incompetent gym leader would have remained arrogant!"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Yuan said with some surprise.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. The most important thing for a trainer is to improve their abilities. You should do your best too."

"Okay! I will definitely work hard to become a qualified trainer!"

Ash, who was being ignored, stood there with a look of despair on his face.

At this moment, the girl looked at Xiaozhi and nodded.

"Thank you for your courage."

After saying that, the little girl left, but as she left, she bowed to Fang Yuan again to thank him.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan didn't feel anything, but Xiao Zhi was a little depressed.

"What do you mean by thanking me for my bravery? So all I'm good for is being brave? If Pikachu hadn't been poisoned, I would have had a chance to win!"

Gary looked at Ash, who was struggling and looking embarrassed, and said with a smile...

“A loss is a loss. If it weren’t for your master’s help, you wouldn’t know how you would have gotten out of this situation.”

. . . . . .

Watching the group of people playfully bickering, Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Wow, what a group of energetic young people."

Just as Fang Yuan said those words, he suddenly heard a soft laugh.

Fang Yuan turned around and found that only Cynthia was quietly covering her mouth, unable to hide the smile on her face.

When Cynthia saw Fang Yuan turn around, she quickly reached out her hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Master Fang, I didn't mean to."

"But Master Fang, you're not that old, are you? Why do you sound so composed?"

Hearing Cynthia's words, Fang Yuan helplessly shrugged.

"Sigh~ There's nothing I can do. I have to manage such a big dojo because I have an unreliable father. I'm just sighing a little."

Although Cynthia didn't laugh out loud again, a faint smile still lingered on her face.

For some reason, Cynthia didn't dislike Fang Yuan's personality at all; on the contrary, she found him quite interesting and even wanted to learn about his past, becoming curious about him.

Cynthia looked at Fang Yuandao

"Master Fang, could you briefly tell me about your father?"

Hearing Cynthia's words, Fang Yuan sighed.

"Then I have to mention the summer when my cheap old man abandoned me, who was only thirteen years old, and went on vacation alone."

.........

Chapter 125 The Second Girl, Cynthia

After hearing that Fang Yuan's cheapskate father had actually run away with all the Pokémon, leaving only two starter Pokémon for Fang Yuan.

Cynthia also felt a little helpless about her...uncle.

"So you only relied on two starter Pokémon to develop the Matsumo Gym to this extent in just a few months, and also trained the Pokémon to be so good?"

"And they were able to research Dynamax, Tyranitar's special evolution, and even build such a strong friendship with a legendary Pokémon."

It has to be said that after understanding Fang Yuan's initial confusion about the dojo, and then looking at Fang Yuan now, whose popularity is almost overshadowing other dojos in Kanto, it's quite remarkable.

Cynthia felt that Fang Yuan was really working hard.

"Marrying someone like that doesn't seem so bad..."

At that moment, this thought suddenly popped into Cynthia's mind without her even realizing it.

Cynthia suddenly felt her face turn red and her heart pounding.

At this moment, Cynthia quickly calmed herself down, and then hurriedly thought to herself...

"No way, Cynthia! You're 25, and Fang Yuan is only 18. There's such a big age difference. I only see him as a younger brother!"

However, at this moment, another part of Cynthia's inner self spoke like a little devil.

"That's right, he's just your childhood sweetheart..."

Cynthia clapped her hands sharply, then stood up and said...

"Master Fang! It's time for us to go back!"

Fang Yuan looked at Cynthia, who had suddenly become anxious, and was completely bewildered.

"Okay, okay."

Clearly, although Fang Yuan considers himself to be a person with relatively high emotional intelligence.

However, given the significant information gap, Fang Yuan couldn't figure out what Cynthia was thinking.

Even more surprising was that this Sinnoh champion would actually try to harm his body.

Cynthia took out Garchomp's Poké Ball.

Upon seeing Garchomp, Fang Yuan felt a sharp pain in his lower back. Garchomp's supersonic flight was still a bit too much for Fang Yuan, who was still in human form.

Fang Yuan looked at the expressionless Cynthia and silently thought to himself...

"I really need to improve my physical fitness!"

Garchomp soared into the sky.

Fang Yuan and Cynthia soon returned to Matsuzamo City.

After arriving in Matsumo City, Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment when looking at the Matsumo Dojo before saying...

"We're already out, how about we go check out the food street nearby?"

Cynthia wasn't really keen on going out, but when Fang Yuan mentioned the food street, she suddenly became interested.

"That's right, and our food street in Songzao City not only has food, but also passion fruit flavored ice cream, which is rarely seen in other areas."

Passion fruit flavored ice cream!

Mentioning ice cream, Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion, instantly shed her aloof and strong-woman image, and coughed lightly as she spoke.

"Then let's go."

. . . . . .

"Madam, here you go. This is what you chose: caramel vanilla mascarpone pistachio ice cream."

Fang Yuan looked at the three-layered ice cream that Cynthia had spent a full half hour choosing.

This was the first time Fang Yuan had gained a new understanding of Cynthia's indecisiveness.

At this moment, Fang Yuan watched as Cynthia held an ice cream in one hand, gently tucked her golden hair behind her ear with the other, and licked the ice cream with her pink tongue.

Fang Yuan involuntarily swallowed.

"Will it taste good?"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Cynthia reacted like a fawn guarding its food.

"Don't look, I won't give you any!"

Fang Yuan quickly waved his hand and said

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

After receiving Fang Yuan's reply that he wasn't interested in ice cream, Cynthia finally relaxed.

However, Fang Yuan didn't actually take Cynthia out shopping.

Fang Yuan discussed some of his questions about training and combat with Cynthia.

It has to be said that a champion is a champion.

Cynthia always manages to pinpoint the problems Fang Yuan raises.

And so, Cynthia and Fang Yuan strolled along the food street of Matsumo City, chatting about their battles and eating ice cream.

Seeing the two standing together, a child from the snack street couldn't help but ask...

"Dad, why does Master Fang bring different girls every time?"

Upon hearing the boy's words, the surrounding shopkeepers' expressions immediately changed.

"Boy! What nonsense are you spouting? Master Fang has only ever brought one girl with him! Do you understand? What different girl?!"

"If you say another word, I'm going to give you ten sets of practice questions!"

Seeing the uncles and aunts suddenly turn fierce, the little boy nodded quickly.

Although the food street was quite far from the Matsuzo Gym, Fang Yuan and Cynthia walked for half an hour before finally reaching the gym entrance.

Just as Fang Yuan was about to take Cynthia back to the gym to continue his training,

Cynthia glanced at the time and said with some regret.

"I'd like to go to the gym again, but the League needs me, so I have to go back to Sinnoh!"

"That's it."

Fang Yuan also came to his senses at this moment. Cynthia had been staying at the Matsumo Gym for two days. As a champion, Cynthia's time was very precious.

"Welcome to come again next time."

Fang Yuan smiled and said to Cynthia

At this moment, Cynthia, sitting atop Garchomp, showed a shy, girlish blush for the first time, a hint of embarrassment on her face. She played with her hair with one hand.

What do you think of me?

Upon hearing Cynthia's words, Fang Yuan was taken aback, then replied sincerely.

"Powerful, beautiful, truly worthy of being the champion of the Sinnoh region!"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Cynthia seemed to realize something, and for the first time, a look of panic appeared on her face.

"Your father didn't tell you anything?"

Seeing Fang Yuan's confused expression, Cynthia felt like her face was about to explode.

It turns out that after all that fuss, Fang Yuan had no idea why he had come here!

Before Fang Yun could say anything more, Garchomp instantly soared into the sky.

Sitting on Garchomp's shoulder, Cynthia patted her face and said...

"Honestly, nobody even knows why I'm here!"

Just then, Fang Yuan sent a text message to Cynthia.

"Welcome to visit again next time."

Cynthia touched her burning cheeks and said

"At least he doesn't dislike me. Let's come again next time we have the chance."

Chapter 126 Yukira with a huge stomach, his weight doubles!

Matsusa City, Matsusa Dojo.

For the past two weeks, Fang Yuan had enjoyed a rare period of peace and quiet.

During this period, Fang Yuan mainly focused his energy on breeding Pokémon.

After all, as Cynthia and Ma Zhiqi said, a trainer is not defined by how many achievements he has made or how many accomplishments he has made.
