The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

He wrote in a letter that Cynthia was Fang Yuan's childhood betrothed, and also mentioned that Cynthia had gone to a blind date in the past and seemed to have no objection to the marriage after returning.

Cynthia's grandmother couldn't help but say something while watching Fang Yuan's adoptive father's actions.

What would happen if you just told the child directly?

Fang Pingfeng then said with a serious expression.

“No, kids these days are so rebellious. All they think about is not getting married or dating. As their father, I have to try to bring them together.”

"Let Cynthia and Fang Yuan get to know each other a few more times, and once they've gotten along better, we can tell them the news. That way, they can get married naturally!"

"Makes sense."

Cynthia's grandmother also thought Fang Pingfeng's words made a lot of sense, but she was still very curious and said...

"Then why did you write this letter in the first place?"

Fang Pingfeng raised an eyebrow and said

"But if I do this, Fang Yuan might get angry and refuse to acknowledge me as his father, kicking me out of the dojo. What if that happens?"

"So I'm writing a letter now, but it will be several months before Sinnoh's email arrives."

"Even if Fang Yuan discovers the problem, I can say it's a problem with the email speed, not that I didn't notify him."

"This is a small measure to maintain harmony between father and son."

Seeing Fang Pingfeng's actions, Shirona's grandmother was both amused and exasperated.

"In your relationship, who is the father?"

.........

In Matsumo City, at the Matsumo Gym, Fang Yuan and Professor Oak are studying the evolved form of Sargeras together.

Because the evolved Shakira was really beyond Fang Yuan's comprehension.

Although the system provides a control panel, it is never comprehensive enough.

【Pokémon: Shakira (Shiny)♂】

【Level: 35】

[Talent: ? ? ? (Slowly rising)]

【Characteristics: Sand Cloak + Sandstorm】

[Skills: Dragon Dance (inherited), Pursuit (inherited), Tackle, Leer, Rockfall, Invisibility...]

[Special Talent: Shakira's mastery of sandstorms has reached the threshold of the second stage; her armor, comparable to that of a near-Elite Four member, represents her talent beyond limits.]

[Evaluation: A dual-ability Sandstorm champion, Shakira possesses two very peculiar energies fusing within it; one originates from Groudon, while the other remains currently unknown.]

Despite his advanced age, Professor Oak has demonstrated remarkable willpower in his research on Shakira.

After telling Fang Yuan about his findings, Professor Oak smiled and said...

"What we know for now is that it seems that Shakira has not only Groudon's power inside it, but also the energy of another Dark-type legendary Pokémon."

Professor Oak couldn't help but marvel at this moment.

"With the power of two top-tier divine beasts, plus this armor that surpasses all limits, how strong would Shakiras become if it evolved!?"

"Let alone the championship, I'm afraid this Shakira might actually be able to reach that legendary realm beyond the championship?"

Professor Oak's face was beaming with excitement.

Today is Qixi Festival, and I wish all my readers a happy ending with their loved ones.

May all readers who haven't found a girlfriend find their other half soon.

And to all the readers who don't want to find girlfriends, I wish them all the life they want.

Happy Qixi Festival to this reader!

There will be another chapter later. Fang Yuan's team has just received a super boost, and they will show their skills in the competition at the Eight Great Halls.

Which of the three disciples will become the champion of this year's league tournament? You readers are welcome to guess.

Chapter 131 Alliance Conference

It is now the second day since Shakira evolved.

After Professor Oak repeatedly explained to Fang Yuan about Shakira's special characteristics and the need to nurture it properly, he happily went home with the data he had collected and the Dynamax Device.

Of course, even without Professor Oak's instructions, Fang Yuan would still raise Shakira properly.

After all, this was the first time Fang Yuan had ever seen a Pokémon with the potential to be ??? among ordinary Pokémon.

Fang Yuan had only ever seen this level of talent in divine beasts before.

Although it's a bit far-fetched, Fang Yuan made a bold guess.

"Perhaps my Shakira possesses the potential of a legendary divine beast?!"

Just as Fang Yuan was getting excited that Shakira might have the potential to become a divine beast, Shakira staggered past him.

Then Shakira, whom Fang Yuan praised as having the potential of a divine beast, tripped over a small protruding stone.

With a loud 'thud,' Shakira gave Fang Yuan a performance of a flat-ground fall.

Even the concrete floor was dented by Shakira's armor.

A '#' emoji appeared above Shakira's head, even though Shakira was extremely frustrated at the moment.

But at this moment, Shakira couldn't even open his mouth; he could only writhe in impotent rage.

"I can't eat or talk, that's bad enough, but now I don't even have hands and feet. I don't even know how to walk."

'Why do other Pokémon evolve into something powerful and strong, but I ended up looking like this?!'

Seeing Shakira looking sullen, Fang Yuan quickly went over to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Shakira. You just need a little more time to adapt to your new body. And with the hardness of your armor now, you can just charge straight at Mudkip and knock them out with one impact."

"In addition, your current sand control ability has reached the second stage, which allows you to attach sand to your body to increase damage. Once you enter the third stage of sand control, you will be able to use the power of sand to create brand new arms and legs."

"Your combat power hasn't decreased; on the contrary, it has increased considerably!"

"Moreover, your current difficulties are all for the sake of breaking out of your cocoon in the future. When that time comes, your strength will definitely leave Mudkip and the others speechless!"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Shakira's eyes filled with anticipation.

Shakira then skipped and hopped to the backyard to continue getting acquainted with her new body.

However, just as Shakira stepped out of the door, he tripped over the threshold again, smashing a large crater in the ground.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan shook his head helplessly.

"It seems we still need a few more days to get used to it. Without hands and feet, relying entirely on the jet ports on the back and jumping to move is quite difficult."

However, thinking about jumping and moving, Fang Yuan couldn't help but think of King Thorn Dragon. Perhaps he could try to have King Thorn Dragon teach Shakira how to move freely by jumping.

After pondering for a while, Fang Yuan clapped his hands and said...

"You three, come over here and fix the cement crater that Shakira smashed."

"Okay, boss! Don't worry, boss!"

"We're professionals at repairs! Meow~"

These three are the Rockets' trio.

After meeting them at the Speedy Gym that day, Fang Yuan casually took them back to Matsumo City.

Fang Yuan originally wanted to ask them about the Rockets.

However, the intelligence they possess is the same as that of the other Rockets.

"Stay in hiding and wait for the organization to contact you."

Since Elite Four failed to capture Mewtwo and was subsequently wiped out by the League Trainers led by Lance, Team Rocket in the Kanto region seemed to have vanished into thin air.

The Kanto region has finally regained peace after a long time.

When Fang Yuan learned that Team Rocket's core members had never been seriously injured, except for that unlucky guy whose three Elite Four Pokémon were killed by Mewtwo.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of them, Fang Yuan left the Team Rocket trio at the Matsuzo Gym for the time being.

After all, the League Conference is just around the corner. If Ash fails to get all eight badges due to interference from Team Rocket, Fang Yuan will have nowhere to turn.

Team Rocket initially protested against the giant dome that remained at the Matsumo Gym.

But when they learned that Fang Yuan offered them a salary of 3+ RMB per month, including six types of insurance and three types of housing fund, and that Fang Yuan had also promised to train them to make them stronger and make it easier for them to catch Pikachu.

Team Rocket's trio immediately agreed and continued to shine in their roles as support staff at the Matsuzo Gym.

"Work hard to make money!"

"Keep getting stronger!"

"When we come out of the mountains."

"That's the day that brat Pikachu gets captured! Meow!"

While Musashi, Meow Meow, and Kojiro shouted excitedly, Fang Yuan remained indifferent.

Fang Yuan could even say he was quite happy about this situation, as Xiao Zhi's strength has now far surpassed that of the anime version.

If Team Rocket's trio remains the same strong as before, how can Ash get any training?

"Sigh~ I am truly a master who always thinks of his disciples."

--------

During this time, Fang Yuan was usually responsible for training the Pokémon and teaching the challengers.

Then, we'll train Xiaochun a bit, so that this proud daughter of the Dragon Clan can understand how to become a qualified gym leader.

Instead of becoming a bad person like Ma Zhiqi.

Moreover, it seems that as the League Conference draws closer, the number of challengers is also declining rapidly.

After all, gym leader badges have an expiration date; there's no situation where you can get four badges this year and then just have to challenge four gyms next year.

So Fang Yuan's days became unusually leisurely.

Nine-Tailed Fox stood behind Fang Yuan, her soft, boneless hands gently massaging his shoulders.

Fang Yuan sipped his tea, enjoying the massage from the Nine-Tailed Fox, and squinted at Xiao Wen not far away, saying...

"Xiaowen, do you remember what day it is in a few days?"

Xiaowen shook her head as she looked at Fang Yuan, who was becoming increasingly 'degenerate', but still answered...

"The day of the selection for the Eight Great Daoist Halls?"

Fang Yuan waved his hand in response.

"No! The selection of the Eight Great Dojos will have to wait until after the Alliance Conference, so the Kanto Regional Alliance Conference will officially begin in a few days!"

Xiaowen replied indifferently.

For some reason, Fang Yuan always felt like bullying Xiao Wen, who was indifferent to him, and made her show that wronged expression.

However, this time Fang Yuan chose to let Xiao Wen off the hook for the time being, and instead looked at Shinji, who had been keeping a low profile in the Matsuzo Dojo.

At this moment, Shinji's eyes were bright and piercing, and his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation.

Fang Yuan looked at Shinji after a month of intensive training and said...

"Go Shinji, it's time to show the results of your training."

Fang Yuan took out the four-color weather badge, representing approval, from his pocket and tossed it to Shinji.

"Keep it up, don't let me down."

Shinji nodded.

"Master, don't worry! I've been completely transformed today!"

"I absolutely want to show Ash and Gary what a real surprise is!"

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
