The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

While Fang Yuan and the others were having a good time, Ma Zhiqi and Ma Zhishi were drinking alone in a private room not far away.

Ma Zhiqi looked at the Poké Ball in his hand and chuckled excitedly.

Maszewski said with some helplessness.

"Although I used my money-counting ability to solve the problem of Pokémon acquisition time for you, you still need to be careful not to get upset in the Gym Leaders' challenge!"

"Don't worry, bro. Even if Fang Yuan is strong, do you think his Pokémon can be 20 levels higher and defeat a Gym Leader level Pokémon?"

"That's absolutely impossible! Don't worry, brother!"

"How could someone as arrogant and disdainful as Fang Yuan have imagined that I have an even stronger ace Pokémon?"

"This time, Fang Yuan will definitely be defeated by me!"

"I'll see how arrogant this guy is then, how conceited he is!"

Ma Zhishi looked at his cousin and always felt that he wasn't reliable.

But Ma Zhishi believed he had done his best, and the rest was up to Ma Zhiqi himself.

------

Meanwhile, on the Indigo Plateau, it wasn't just the brothers Ma Zhiqi and Ma Zhishi who were present; there were also Gym Leader Blaine, Gym Leader Sabrina, and others, including the leader of the Crimson Lotus Gym, as well as the leader of the Goldenrod Gym, Sabrina, and others.

After all, the upcoming eight gym battles will take place on the Quartz Plateau.

In addition to these eight dojo masters, there are about a dozen other ordinary dojo masters with different appearances.

His sole purpose in coming here was to compete for the position of head of the Eight Great Dao Halls!

Even Qiao Yixue came to watch the excitement of this battle.

However, Qiao Yixue and Nazi exchanged a glance from afar.

Both sides saw a hint of hostility in each other's eyes.

"This girl doesn't seem like a good person. I really don't know what she's trying to do by staying by Master Fang's side." Ever since their last meeting, Qiao Yixue had a strange feeling that Nazi wasn't a good person.

"Isn't she just a girl named Joey? I really don't know why she's clinging to Fang Yuan." Clearly, Joey Xue wasn't the only one with similar thoughts; Naz also disliked Joey Xue's presence.

Amidst this tense atmosphere, the first day of the Alliance Conference officially began!

Ash, Gary, and Shinji were also assigned to different areas.

At least they won't be able to meet before the main competition.

Of the three, the first to face off was Ash, who had been eagerly anticipating his battle!

"Hehe, I never thought this would be my first competition. I'm really lucky."

Seeing Ash's carefree attitude, Gary and Shinji were overjoyed.

After all, this is a very rare opportunity to observe Ash's Pokémon strength and tactics!

After all, in the last month, neither Shinji nor Gary and Ash, who were traveling separately, knew the extent of each other's strength.

Therefore, this match will definitely allow Ash to reveal some of his secrets!

Ash didn't know whether he had guessed Gary and Shinji's thoughts, or if it was just a sudden flash of inspiration.

After stepping onto the battle arena, Ash surprisingly sent out his newly caught Pokémon.

Chapter 134 Fang Yuan Becomes a Hot Commodity

"King Crab? Ash actually has a King Crab?"

In the VIP viewing area of ​​the League Conference, Fang Yuan, along with Gary, Shinji, and others, watched Ash's match up close.

Gary and Shinji were both surprised to see that Ash hadn't sent out his main Pokémon, but instead sent out a Krabby.

Because they had never seen Ash use this Krabby.

While Shigeru and Shinji were surprised, Fang Yuan remained calm.

Since Ash became Fang Yuan's apprentice, Ash's teleportation base has become the Matsushima Gym.

This giant crab was the first Pokémon Ash teleported over.

Although this giant crab's treatment can't compare to Fang Yuan's main Pokémon.

However, it's still much better than being confined to the fish tank in Professor Oak's lab in the anime.

Moreover, Ash's Krabby only appeared for a very short time in the anime.

However, their combat strength is not weak.

It immediately defeated three opponents in a row upon its appearance, helping Ash win his first League tournament.

"This is the Water Arena! It's all yours now, Krabby." Ash said to Krabby on the battle field.

The giant crab clamped its pincers tightly, demonstrating its strength.

"A giant claw crab?!"

"Hahaha, this kid is really getting worse as he gets older, actually using a Pokémon that hasn't been bred before in the League Tournament."

"Master Fang, your method of training disciples is really not very good!"

Just then, Ma Zhiqi walked arrogantly to Fang Yuan's side and patted Fang Yuan's shoulder with a very malicious gesture.

Upon seeing that it was Ma Zhiqi, Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow and said...

"Oh, isn't this your defeated foe? You actually dare to come here?"

Hearing Fang Yuan's mockery, Ma Zhiqi showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, he confidently replied...

"Master Fang, I came here to tell you that your victory over me was just a stroke of luck! I, Ma Zhiqi, have been a trainer for many years, and naturally I didn't bring out my ace Pokémon when I battled you!"

Seeing Ma Zhiqi's smug look, Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows, having some guesses in his mind.

After all, Ma Zhiqi is a petty person who doesn't seem like the type to show mercy.

Upon hearing Ma Zhiqi's words, Fang Yuan suddenly seemed to remember something and said...

"By the way, I really can't compare to an 'old' trainer like you, Ma Zhiqi, in this respect."

"After all, I've only been a trainer for less than a year, which is nothing compared to a trainer like you who has been traveling for many years."

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, many of the other VIPs around him were shocked by the news.

"Gym Leader Fang has only had Pokémon for less than a year?!"

"Hahaha! Master Fang is indeed a promising young man!"

"This is the first time I've met Master Fang. I'm the owner of the Snorlax chain restaurant. Welcome to our restaurant, Master Fang!" said Yilin, a middle-aged man with a big build, with a smile.

"Manager Fang, I wonder if Songzao City is looking for a new trade building? Our company happens to have a similar idea..."

Seeing Fang Yuan become an instant hot commodity, Ma Zhiqi glared at him resentfully.

Those who can sit in the VIP viewing area of ​​the alliance are not ordinary people; they are all shrewd individuals. Upon seeing that it was Fang Yuan, they all took this opportunity to step forward and win him over.

After all, given Fang Yuan's age and strength, even if he can't become the head of the Eight Great Dao Halls this year...

At Fang Yuan's age, he will definitely become the master of the Eight Great Halls this time. He is definitely a super potential stock!

In addition to being a gym leader, Fang Yuan is also a very popular figure in the league, and they hear about him almost every now and then.

Even the major reform introduced by the League this time, Dynamax, is related to Fang Yuan.

After all the wealthy people and company executives surrounded Fang Yuan, Ma Zhiqi was left standing awkwardly in place, ignored by everyone.

Fang Yuan looked at Ma Zhiqi and thought to himself.

"While I can't compare to a monster like Mewtwo who has champion-level skills at the age of three, crushing trash like you is no problem!"

Fang Yuan looked at the business cards and various small gifts that were almost too many to hold in his hands, and said with a smile.

"Thank you all for your concern. I will contact you as soon as possible if there is any opportunity for cooperation."

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, the CEOs and tycoons present all showed friendly smiles.

Just then, the CEO of a mining company grabbed Fang Yuan's shoulder and said...

"Master Fang, I heard you're not married yet, right? Perfect timing, my daughter is also unmarried, how about..."

"Pah! You stone collector, your daughter's only 14 years old, are you even human?"

The owner of the Snorlax chain restaurant looked at Fang Yuan with a grin and said...

"Master Fang, my daughter is 21 this year, which is just right!"

Seeing all those CEOs and tycoons vying to marry their daughters to Fang Yuan, Ma Zhiqi felt even more envious, jealous, and hateful!

But at that moment, the entire VIP battle area suddenly felt an invisible pressure.

It was as if a prehistoric behemoth had broken in.

The lobby of the VIP room was suddenly slammed open by an invisible force. Naz crossed her arms and looked coldly at the crowd below.

Several wealthy men, especially those who wanted to introduce their daughters to Fang Yuan, felt their bodies stiffen and felt a faint murderous aura emanating from their necks.

Everyone present was terrified and dared not utter a single word.

In the world of Pokémon, strength ultimately prevails. Even if they are bosses or financial tycoons, they are no match for Sabrina, one of the eight Gym Leaders, especially one with Champion-level strength.

They didn't dare say anything more.

"Lady Na... Lady Naza!"

Nazi glanced at him, and the company executives who had been surrounding Fang Yuan understood and moved aside.

Nazi stood right next to Fang Yuan, as if asserting her dominance.

"Why didn't you come to see me when you arrived?"

Naza's tone remained cold, but the intimate manner in her words immediately made everyone present realize that the two had an unusual relationship.

'Sigh~ What a pity, we're still too late. How could someone like Master Fang not have a girlfriend?'

'What a pity, we were too late.'

While several business tycoons were filled with regret, the mine owner, who was the first to speak, remained resolute and said...

"It's okay, my daughter is still young!"

"At worst, I'll become Master Fang's concubine!"

Upon hearing the mining tycoon's words, the others couldn't help but gasp.

"Is it really necessary to go to this extent?"

"How old is your daughter? You old fool! You really have the heart to do this!"

The mining tycoon said nothing more. Compared to the others, he had a closer relationship with the alliance and knew more information.

He knew better than anyone else just how much potential Fang Yuan had.

Chapter 135 They Are All My Wings

Nazi stood beside Fang Yuan, her head slightly lowered, her hands clasped together in a somewhat hesitant and awkward manner, and whispered...

"The fireworks last time were beautiful, and I'd like to see them again if I have the chance."

"Of course, no problem!"

Fang Yuan said with great surprise.

Just as Fang Yuan was overjoyed, another figure suddenly walked into the VIP viewing hall.

Qiao Yixue scanned the scene, then instantly locked onto Fang Yuan. She quickly went to Fang Yuan's side and said...

"Master Fang, it's been a long time!"

Upon seeing Qiao Yixue, Fang Yuan quickly nodded and said...

"Yes, it's been a long time since we last met."

"Really," Qiao Yixue suddenly whispered in Fang Yuan's ear with a smile.

"Master Fang, thank you. If it weren't for you, our Joy Clan wouldn't have been among the first to qualify for the Dynamax Device test."

"Grandma has been telling me these past few days that I've made a reliable friend and she wants me to take you to visit the Joey family."
