Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

"Is Ding Peng so popular at the Chiba Dojo?" Nanfeng couldn't help but mutter.

Amidst the hostility, Nanfeng walked forward calmly.

This group combined isn't even enough to withstand a single "Surf" from Gyarados and Greninja, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

Upon entering the dojo's main hall, Ye Qianting was instructing a disciple in training.

"The core of Razor Leaf lies in speed. The key to using Grass-type energy is to fill the leaf with energy, but not too much, as this will reduce speed. After achieving this, use Grass-type energy to smooth the blade of the leaf, making it even sharper and more resilient..." Ye Qianting shared his knowledge as a Gym Leader, only stopping when he caught sight of Nanfeng out of the corner of his eye.

"From now on, you'll have to practice on your own!"

Ye Qianting walked towards Nanfeng and said, "You're here! You're pretty quick. I thought you wouldn't come until after the Lantern Festival."

“Tianming said to come early, so I came early too,” Nanfeng replied neither humbly nor arrogantly. “My teacher asked me to give you my regards when I arrived.”

"Master Bai?" Ye Qianting asked tentatively.

"Yes," Nanfeng nodded.

"No, no, no, we shouldn't say that. We should be the ones greeting Master Bai," Ye Qianting quickly waved his hand, looking flattered.

In terms of "status and seniority" in the martial arts world, it is indeed he who should greet Bai Wenru.

Ye Qianting's exaggerated expression drew the attention of a group of disciples around him, who craned their necks in surprise.

"Come on, follow me to the backyard. The things I prepared for you are in the back," Ye Qianting said, beckoning Nanfeng to walk towards the back.

So a group of people went to the backyard.

The backyard is a huge garden, with beautiful flowers and hibiscus acting as gardeners. Hunting butterflies, white butterflies, and giant butterflies help with pollination.

Several other disciples were tending to the flowers and plants.

Upon entering the garden, one can smell the abundant fragrance of flowers on the south wind, but soon an exotic fragrance becomes even stronger.

It was that strange fragrance that I smelled when the south wind first entered the forest; it's just that my nose gradually got used to the scent as I traveled along.

Now, the exotic fragrance has been amplified and is particularly noticeable.

A bit over the top.

This also indicates that the source of the unusual fragrance is in this vicinity.

Not far away, Nanfeng saw a small mountain, or more accurately, a Venusaur, a giant Venusaur, whose size was even larger than Nanfeng's dominant Venusaur!

But it's not like a Dynamax Venusaur, and no one would leave their Pokémon in a Dynamax state all the time for no reason.

It was lying on the ground taking a nap.

Not far from Venusaur, Nanfeng spotted the source of the fragrance: a red flower. It wasn't flamboyant, but rather bright with a touch of softness. A faint mist swirled around it, visible to the naked eye.

"Venusaur!" Ye Qianting called out to Venusaur.

Venusaur awoke from its slumber and, seeing its owner and Southwind, extended two vines from its back, scooping up the red flower and soil from the ground and presenting it to Southwind.

· ······Requesting 0 flowers ········

"This is the reward I promised you last time!" Ye Qianting said to Nanfeng.

Nanfeng knew that this flower must be extraordinary, but he couldn't figure out what it was or what made it special.

"what is this?"

"I named it the Legendary Flower. By chance, I found it in a dangerous area and was able to bring it back with Master Bai's help," Ye Qianting explained.

"Its effect is very peculiar; it can purify all negative statuses of surrounding spirits. To date, I have not found a single negative status that it cannot purify, even if that negative status comes from a legendary spirit."

0 ... 0

"If you use it as a Pokémon's holding item, any move the Pokémon makes will have a strong purifying ability. This purifying ability deals double damage to Poison and Ghost-type Pokémon!"

“Then this must be a legendary item…” Nanfeng said thoughtfully.

“That’s right,” Ye Qianting readily admitted. “This is a legendary-level spirit item. Its effects far surpass those of a treasure-level spirit item. It is undoubtedly a legendary-level item!”

Nanfeng looked at Ye Qianting and asked, puzzled but directly, "Since it's a legendary item, why did you choose to give it to me?"

Before coming here, Nanfeng thought that Ye Qianting would at most give him a treasure-level item.

After all, even a rare treasure is a precious item for a gym leader.

It's worth noting that Nanfeng only exchanged a Mystic Tree for a Treasure-level Metal Membrane. When he went to the East Sea Dragon's Nest to capture a Dragon-type Pokémon, it was practically a freebie compared to the Treasure-level Pokémon item.

As for himself, he had no relation to Ye Qianting, and had only defeated one of Ye Qianting's non-main Pokémon. At most, he was just a trainer whom Ye Qianting admired.

If you admire a trainer, you can give them a legendary item.

Even if Ye Qianting is the champion and the leader of the Pokémon, he shouldn't be that rich, right?

(The next update will be after midnight; you can read it tomorrow morning.) 0.

230. A Long-Planned Challenge

"Because I'm preparing to resign from my position as a dojo trainer," Ye Qianting said, surprising everyone.

"Huh?" Nanfeng was taken aback, wondering if he had misheard.

Zhang Tianming and Ye Qianting's two daughters were not surprised at all; they already knew about it. Zhang Tianming was surprised that his master would give this treasure to Nanfeng.

It was this treasure that caused the disciples of the Chiba Dojo to become rivals and compete with each other.

Unexpectedly, it was the south wind that ultimately benefited.

When Zhang Tianming thought about how his brother Nanfeng would ultimately benefit, he didn't find it hard to accept.

"When I was young, I promised my wife that I would take her to see all the wonders of the world. I originally planned to do that after I retired, but her illness has made me realize a lot. Some things and some people are not something I can wait for; they just won't stay in the same place."

"It's getting late, there's no time left. All I can do is try my best to seize the time and fulfill my promise."

"Therefore, I plan to resign from my position as a gym leader and take my wife to travel the world in her final days, to see its beauty, and to leave some memories and aspirations for my future," Ye Qianting explained calmly, clearly a result of careful consideration.

Nanfeng was slightly surprised by Ye Qianting's reasoning, amazed that Ye Qianting was such a devoted person.

"I have no intention of climbing higher, nor do I intend to become a Gym Leader, so this legendary flower means nothing to me."

"Therefore, I plan to find a truly promising trainer to inherit it, so that such a treasure will not be tarnished."

"Initially, I wanted to find a suitable successor within my own dojo."

"Until I saw you!"

"After learning that you are Master Bai's disciple, I also included you in my observation list."

"After all, this legendary flower was obtained with Master Bai's help, and you are qualified to inherit it!"

"You didn't disappoint me in that battle. You're better than all my students. A trainer who's only been at Pokémon University for less than half a year has already become a junior breeder. Oh, no, now you're a senior breeder, and you were even able to defeat one of my second team Pokémon. This talent, this potential, surpasses any of my gym students."

"Therefore, inheriting this legendary flower is the best choice for you."

Ye Qianting had another reason he didn't mention.

That is, if the legendary flower is handed over to his apprentices, without his support behind the scenes, his apprentices would have no chance of protecting it.

Nanfeng, however, was different; he was a disciple of Master Bai Wenru.

Regardless of who Master Bai Wenru is, his students alone include Heavenly King-level powerhouses, several dojo trainers, and elites from all walks of life.

With students all over the world and such a powerful figure as a backer, it's perfectly reasonable for Nanfeng to possess a legendary Pokémon item.

By handing it over to Nanfeng, he not only found a suitable owner for the legendary flower, but also repaid a favor to Master Bai Wenru, saved his disciples from future disasters, and gained a favor from Nanfeng, a trainer with unlimited potential.

Kill four birds with one stone.

He felt like Qin Shi Huang touching an electrical wire.

What a win!

The south wind nodded.

He entrusted the legendary flower to me because he believed that his teacher could protect it, and also... he wanted to get a favor from me.

Nanfeng looked down at the legendary Pokémon item in front of him. If it really was a legendary Pokémon item, then owing someone a favor wouldn't be a problem.

"Alright, then I'll accept this legendary flower, thank you." Nanfeng reached out and held the legendary flower in his palm. He was now more interested in seeing what the flower's attributes were like in the handheld game console, and whether it was really as mysterious as Ye Qianting had said.

“This soil is also unnecessary. For the legendary flower, picking the seed seems to have no meaning.” Ye Qianting pulled the flower out of the soil. Its lower half was bare, and the root system was no longer visible. It looked like a rose that had been trimmed in a florist shop, serving only as decoration.

The south wind tossed aside the soil and went straight for the red flower.

A pure energy immediately emanated from the red flower. In just a short breath, Nanfeng felt his body and soul were cleansed, and he felt incredibly refreshed!

As Nanfeng was enjoying the pleasure brought by the legendary flower, a group of people suddenly walked in through the side gate of the backyard...

The leader was a burly man with a kind and honest face.

"Master, have you still decided to give the legendary flower to an outsider?" the burly man asked in a muffled voice.

Ye Qianting's gaze swept over the burly man, and he simply said, "Yes!"

"Master, can you tell me why?" The burly man's emotions remained unchanged, but his gaze was fixed on Ye Qianting's face, as if he wanted to find the answer directly from Ye Qianting's appearance.

"Because your talent and potential are not as good as Nanfeng's, you can't protect this legendary elf item," Ye Qianting gave a very direct reason.

"May I experience this trainer's talent and potential, which surpasses mine?" The burly man's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit.

"Of course!" Ye Qianting agreed without hesitation, then turned his gaze to Nanfeng.

"Nanfeng, with your strength, defeating my disciple shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Nanfeng silently typed a question mark.

Is your conversation with your apprentice really that straightforward?

The master possesses a treasure but doesn't give it to his disciple, instead giving it to an outsider. Shouldn't this lead to a falling out between master and disciple?

As a result, the disciple was extremely respectful, yet still dared to question and challenge him so directly. 0.8

Nanfeng suspected that Ye Qianting had already discussed with his disciples about fighting him, given the "natural" transition.

Only by winning can I take the legendary flower from the Chiba Gym.

So... Ye Qianting kept saying he would give me the legendary flower, but in reality, he was just giving me a chance to take it away.

Right now, I have no choice but to fight this battle.

hateful!

Oh well, it's just a fight. He's just a disciple of a gym leader.

"I accept your challenge!"

(I went out for a baby's one-month celebration tonight, so today's update is canceled. That means I didn't post anything extra today, and I didn't post anything extra yesterday either. Therefore, I'm a complete failure! I must post something extra tomorrow!)

231. Hidden Move

The battle arena used is the same grassy area as the Chiba Dojo.

When Nanfeng arrived at the battlefield, the venue, referees, and spectators were all ready.

Nanfeng couldn't help but look at Ye Qianting.

The other person responded with a smile.

The old fox's smile.

Nanfeng is now certain that he has been outmaneuvered by Ye Qianting.

He definitely intended from the beginning to take the legendary flower through battle. His goal was probably to gain the respect of the masses.

Alright, alright, this is Ye Qianting's own choice, so I have no choice but to take drastic measures.

The two sides took their positions.

On his way here, Nanfeng had already learned from Zhang Tianming that the person he was going to fight was Ye Shaolin, the chief disciple of Qianye Dojo. He was Ye Qianting's second disciple, and his senior sister was Ye Shaoqing. He was also Ye Qianting's adopted son.

It is indeed most appropriate for him to represent all the disciples of Chiba Dojo.

"The rules for this battle are six Pokémon to choose four from six. The battle ends when four of your Pokémon are unable to battle!" the referee announced.

"Now, both sides, please send out your Pokémon simultaneously."

That's a bit formal. Nanfeng17 raised an eyebrow. Choosing four out of six is ​​a rule used in formal battles. It doesn't mention restricting the right to trade Pokémon, so theoretically there are an unlimited number of opportunities to trade Pokémon.

Reaching out to take out the Poké Ball, Ye Shaolin was already ready.
