"Friendly?"
The leader of Team Magma was speechless.
His girlfriend had been with Team Magma for so long yet remained so naive.
If it were when he had just joined Team Magma, and he had encountered Ye Feng, he too would have found the person before him amiable and warm.
But it had been seven or eight years.
He had a keen eye for people.
Just when he didn't know it was Ye Feng and had cursed at Ye Feng by the entrance.
He could clearly see the killing intent hidden in Ye Feng's eyes.
"This Ye Feng is different from those league champions and elites. This person genuinely kills people."
Thinking back now, he still felt a chill.
If it had been another elite or champion, in the previous situation, they would have certainly captured him and handed him over to Officer Jenny.
But Ye Feng was definitely different!
"Fine, even if Ye Feng isn't friendly! But you were too much just now! It's one thing to offer your girlfriend to him! But you did it without my consent! Did you also make a decision about my girlfriend and offer her up?!"
Another male Team Magma member was extremely displeased.
"What's wrong with me making the decision?! Don't forget, even though we're friends in private, officially, I'm your superior!"
The leader of Team Magma retorted angrily.
Immediately, the man dared not speak.
However, he quickly changed his expression.
He looked calmly at the two female Team Magma members.
He said thankfully, "Good thing you two are ugly, so you weren't chosen. Otherwise, Ye Feng would have done something to you."
The two women: "???"
Damn it, with those words, they had to be grateful for being ugly?!
However, they were also genuinely disappointed.
After all, in their hearts, they had actually been anticipating what Ye Feng might do to them just now.
That was Ye Feng!!!
This ruin's secret chamber was quite dark, but who was Ye Feng?
In the pitch-black night, his eyes emitted golden light.
He could see everything in this secret chamber with utmost clarity.
The chamber was not large. The only valuable items were the murals on the surrounding walls, depicting scenes of ancient humans and ancient Pokémon living together.
Ye Feng examined them closely.
He saw many ancient Pokémon that were extinct or only existed in small numbers.
For example, Aerodactyl, Kabuto, Anorith, Armaldo, and so on.
"It seems Team Magma is still the same, searching for these ancient Pokémon ruins and so on to awaken Groudon."
Ye Feng knew Team Magma and Team Aqua very well.
One aimed to awaken and control Groudon, endlessly expanding the landmass.
The other aimed to awaken and control Kyogre, endlessly expanding the ocean, drowning the entire world.
It had to be said that the ultimate goals of these two evil organizations were, in Ye Feng's opinion, not something normal people would conceive.
Ye Feng stayed in the ruin's room for a while, then saw Professor Bartholomew, who had been held hostage and knocked out, in a corner. Without waking him, Ye Feng left the ruin.
Taking advantage of the night, he headed towards Petalburg City.
Petalburg City: A city where humans and nature coexist harmoniously.
"Ah, Petalburg City, such a familiar feeling."
Despite it being his first time visiting the city in person, Ye Feng felt a sense of familiarity.
Especially since the Petalburg Gym in the game only opened after you had defeated the other four Gym Leaders.
It was a pity this was reality, not a game.
Ye Feng, as usual, went directly to the Gym upon arriving in a city.
The Petalburg Gym was large.
Ye Feng knocked on the door.
"Hello, is anyone there? I'm here to challenge the Petalburg Gym."
No one opened the door.
Ye Feng knocked a few more times before someone finally opened it.
The person who opened the door was a beautiful young woman.
She was about 1.65 meters tall, with fair skin, a pure face, and two pearl earrings.
Her brown hair was styled in twin tails.
The young woman was wearing a light orange long dress, with a white apron tied around it. She held a spatula in her hand, as if she were cooking.
"Hello, my name is Mitsuko, I am the wife of the Petalburg Gym Leader, Norman."
"Hello, my name is Ye Feng, beautiful lady."
"Ye Feng? You're that two-time champion Ye Feng? You've finally come to Hoenn? I knew I recognized you!"
"Come in, please."
Mitsuko seemed very pleased and welcomed Ye Feng into the Gym.
She then led him to the living room.
The living room was spacious. While not luxurious, its simple and understated decor was very comfortable. At this moment, there were three people in the living room.
Two men and a child.
They noticed Ye Feng.
The man in his mid-thirties, with his arms crossed, didn't react to Ye Feng at first.
But another man, dressed in very casual attire, wearing sunglasses, and with a smile always on his face, a胖子 (fatty), immediately stepped forward and clasped Ye Feng's hands.
He said excitedly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're Ye Feng, right? Let me introduce myself, my name is Scott, the founder of the Battle Frontier."
"Oh, oh."
Ye Feng nodded.
Upon hearing Ye Feng's name, the man in his mid-thirties also stood up and shook Ye Feng's hand. "So it's the renowned Ye Feng. Please forgive my lack of manners."
"My name is Norman, and I am the Gym Leader here."
Ye Feng shook hands with Norman.
Then,
"Hey, Ye Feng, I've seen your battles! You're so strong! Your Pikachu, Rayquaza, and that Shiny Gengar, can I see them!"
"Max! Don't be rude!!!"
Norman reprimanded the excited little boy.
The little boy was named Max. He wore glasses and a green shirt.
Ye Feng looked at the impudent little boy and knew who he was.
He was May's younger brother.
Despite his young age and not having a single Pokémon, he was a theoretical expert who relied on having read a lot of information and books about Pokémon.
"It's alright, he's just a child, they're all like that."
Ye Feng ruffled Max's head. Max dodged after a few rubs.
At this moment,
"Mr. Ye Feng, you've come at just the right time. Lunch is ready."
Mitsuko said as she brought dishes out from the kitchen next to the living room.
She placed them on the table.
There were sweet and sour pork ribs, braised carp, cold tomato salad, sweet and sour pork, stir-fried greens, a total of over a dozen dishes, very rich. Norman, as the host, sat at the head of the table.
Ye Feng and Scott sat on one side, while Norman's wife Mitsuko and their son Max sat on the other side.
Facing Ye Feng.
"It's been a long time since we met, Mr. Ye Feng. What are your thoughts on the Battle Frontier I created?"
Scott, the胖子, seemed to be more focused on Ye Feng than on the delicious dishes.
"The Battle Frontier?"
Hoenn region, compared to the previous Kanto and Johto, was indeed much more exciting.
Besides the corresponding Grand Festival,
There were also Pokémon Contests and the Battle Frontier.
Putting aside the Contests for now.
Let's talk about the Battle Frontier.
It was equivalent to a large training and recreational area.
It included facilities such as the Battle Factory, Battle Arena, Battle Dome, Battle Pike, Battle Palace, Battle Pyramid, Battle Tower, and so on.
