Xu Mu and Cynthia left the arena with their Champion and Runner-up trophies and made their way to Greenleaf Gym in Guangcheng.
Greenleaf Gym's Leader, Li Cangye, was a Trainer who specialized in Grass-type Pokémon.
Nearly fifty, he had prepared his three strongest Pokémon as soon as he heard Xu Mu was coming to Guangcheng.
He meant to take the young man down a peg and protect his Gym's Badge.
But he had never expected the Demon King Xu Mu to bring trouble beyond himself.
He had drawn in a figure of towering importance!
Western Europe's Chief—Kale!
Kale had tacitly allowed Cynthia to visit Xu Mu. Without his approval, she could never have left.
What he hadn't expected was for Xu Mu to go too far and kiss Cynthia in front of so many people!
How was Kale, her "father," supposed to take that?
They had been staying together for two days. Had something happened between them that shouldn't have?
The doting father had flown straight in from Western Europe on his Garchomp!
He was ready to teach that little bastard Xu Mu a lesson!
Xu Mu needed to understand that Kale was Cynthia's father, and he had better not mistreat her if they were going to be together!
And so they found themselves here.
Li Cangye, who had been about to battle Xu Mu for his Gym Badge, stared in bewilderment as a furious Kale descended from the sky.
Garchomp's forceful arrival had punched a huge hole straight through Greenleaf Gym's roof.
Li Cangye's heart ached, but he didn't dare voice his anger!
People had said Xu Mu was a walking disaster. Li Cangye hadn't believed them, thinking the other Gym Leaders had exaggerated.
Now that he had witnessed it for himself, he believed them.
"Xu Mu!"
Kale
