Chapter 1001: Golden is the Shining Color of Gold_3

"Gym Leaders serve as examiners for Trainers challenging The Pokémon Alliance conference and the Four Heavenly Kings. Although strength isn't a strict criterion, it's definitely not low either. Eevee, after I take you to challenge insane Gym Leaders like Thousand Miles and Mikkeli, you'll understand," Fang Yuan said with a smile.

These strong Gym Leaders, one by one, they've all been charmed during the journey...

Like Lady Erika, Fang Yuan had already gotten her contact information.

After Fang Yuan helped Erika revive the plants of the Rainbow Dojo, Erika firmly wanted to repay Fang Yuan.

To this, Fang Yuan's response was also very simple.

"Just as we discussed earlier, make a bottle of perfume suitable for each of my Pokémon, that'll do."

Lady Erika gladly agreed, planning to have Fang Yuan release his Pokémon so she could collect data.

But Fang Yuan said, "Let's do it another day. I have a bunch of Pokémon not with me right now, I'll bring them all over later."

Lady Erika cautiously asked, "About... how many?"

Fang Yuan, "Including the spirit army at my old home, probably hundreds."

Lady Erika: ....

Lady Erika had never seen such a shameless Trainer, whose behavior simply didn't match his strength!!

"Golden City, we've arrived."

After indulging in his memories for a moment, a breeze came by, and Dragonite slowly landed on a mountaintop. It was already getting dark, and Fang Yuan looked towards the brightly lit city shining with a resplendent golden hue, feeling joy inside.

"Bwoo~~~~" Dragonite also let out a long roar into the sky.

"Bwoo! ('Roar' sounds a bit cooler!)" Eevee advised.

Better be careful, or Milotic might get snatched away by other dragons when it shows up; there are many dragons in this world stronger than you.

Dragonite: "…"

Dragonite furrowed its brow, realizing that Eevee was right... It had to start training hard.

First set a small goal: to single-handedly defeat Rang's Dragonite!

.........

In Golden City, there's a luxurious maglev train station connected to Goldenrod City in Johto, as well as the headquarters of Silph Co., one of the world's business tyrants...

As the largest city in Kanto, this place is incredibly prosperous. Naturally, the number of Trainers who aspire to be the Gym Leader of this city is also very high.

A Gym Leader is a civil servant tasked with testing Trainers challenging the Alliance conference, a very desirable profession with fierce competition. This is particularly evident in Golden City.

Once, the head of Goldenrod Gym was the super rising star of the martial arts world, known as the Karate King, Wu De. He, along with the head of Johto's Cerulean Gym, A Si, and the Fighting King Bruno, were among the most famous Fighting Masters on the Kanto and Johto continents.

However, everything changed after a family of Psychics moved to Golden City. The well-known Fighting Master was unexpectedly defeated in a battle for the Gym Leader title by a young girl with psychic abilities, losing miserably...

Though the girl was very young, because of the immense strength and potential she displayed, the Kanto Alliance still let this young girl take the place of the Karate King, Wu De, becoming the new Gym Leader of Golden City.

Unfortunately... the new Gym Leader was not up to the job at all. After that, almost no one could easily obtain the badge from Goldenrod Gym. Moreover, due to "mistreatment" of challengers, the gym was frequently reported to the authorities.

Regarding this, the Alliance mostly turned a blind eye.

It wasn't because the Goldenrod Gym could bring in substantial profits and drive tourism in the city, like the equally whimsical Cerulean Gym.

Rather, the higher-ups in the Kanto Alliance knew very well that the girl inside the Gym possessed an incredibly rare superpower talent. Among the psychics in the Pokémon World, she was one of the best, only matched by Unova's Super Power King Caitlin. Such a Trainer growing up was surely to become another Champion Level character, the Alliance couldn't wait to woo her, so they simply allowed the girl to continue her whims.

This girl was Nastina.

The current leader of the Goldenrod Gym.

Her age at this time, was even younger than Fang Yuan.

The next day.

Outside the Goldenrod Gym, Fang Yuan and Eevee arrived here, planning to meet Nastina.

Even because he took it seriously, Fang Yuan also teleported Gengar over to bolster his team.

However, before Fang Yuan could knock, an uncle suddenly walked out from the side and began to advise.

"Young man, are you here to challenge the Goldenrod Gym? I advise you to try a different one..."

"The Gym Leader here, she's very scary, and that Eevee of yours, I don't think it will cut it."

"Um..." Fang Yuan patted the Eevee that wanted to attack, turned his head to the familiar-looking uncle, and said, "I've heard that the Goldenrod Gym's Trainer, Nastina, has gotten some good feedback recently."

At this point, Xiaozhi had already challenged the Goldenrod Gym. Due to the protagonist's aura, Nastina's capriciousness was somewhat restrained. The difficulty now was much more manageable than before, when challengers who failed would be transformed into dolls by her superpower.

"You're right, but Nastina..." The uncle laughed and shook his head, Nastina was still the capricious Nastina, not one to go easy on challengers according to their strength. Battles were completely up to her mood: the Goldenrod Gym remained at hell difficulty, simply unsuitable for Alliance conference-level Trainers to challenge.

"No problem, uncle. Actually, I'm not really here to challenge the Goldenrod Gym," Fang Yuan said.

"Oh? Then what are you here for..." The uncle was puzzled.

Fang Yuan said, "I heard that the Gym Leader Nastina has a pretty good superpower talent. As The Master of Xin Yuan School, I have a unique method of using superpower. I plan to take her as my protégé."

With Nastina's talent, she should be able to convert superpower into the Power of the Heart, right?

Fang Yuan daringly conjectured, making Nastina his disciple and then using the Power of the Heart to elevate psychic ability techniques—perfect!

"Damn."

As Fang Yuan finished speaking, Nastina's father, the Psychic Uncle in front of Fang Yuan, widened his eyes in shock and took a step back.

Kid, are you looking to die?
