"Xue! Go ahead!" Gongsun Yan solemnly put the Pokémon egg of Smelly into his backpack. After thinking for a while, he made up his mind. He took out a Poké Ball with a metallic luster all over it, and took out a Pokémon encyclopedia, and threw them together to Xue who was about to step into the passage.
"This is a Pokémon I got from Daigo. I was originally planning to use it as a hostage, but now I think it is very suitable for the fighting style of the Xicui region. Let it shine in your place! I brought this illustrated book from the game. The information in it should be of some help to you. You don't have to capture those Pokémon in the future just to collect information, even if you will release them all. I believe you are also one of those people who love Pokémon!"
Xue looked at the Pokémon encyclopedia and Poké Ball in her hand, gave Gongsun Yan a bright smile, walked into the passage, and disappeared in front of Gongsun Yan with the roars of Palkia and Dialga.
"Goodbye, my friend, ciao~" Gongsun Yan took one last look at the place where Xue left, and walked towards the outside of Meteor Village. His mission had been completed. If he rushed back now, he might be able to send his congratulations to Xiaoyao for winning the gorgeous competition.
Two people from different time and space who might have never met in their lives met in this remote and desolate meteor village. After experiencing a major event together, the two sides said goodbye forever with a deep bond...
But there is something that will never fade away in people's hearts, that is the precious treasure called memory. Maybe the two people will never meet again in the future, but the short time they knew each other will turn into unforgettable memories, forever stored in their memories.
..........................................................................................
"Xue! Xue! Wake up!" A pleasant voice kept ringing in Xue's ears, gradually bringing Xue, who was still sleeping, back to consciousness.
"Ah, Zhubei, it's you. I seem to have had a very strange dream, in which I met a very nice person." Xue struggled to get up from the ground, looked at Zhubei who was half-kneeling beside her, and said while covering her head.
"What are you talking about! There was a sudden space-time distortion just now, and you disappeared in the blink of an eye. We searched everywhere but couldn't find you. But just now, there was another space-time distortion here, and then you appeared here again. I was so anxious." Zhu Bei said with fear on her face.
"Oh, oh, I'm so sorry. I'll be more careful next time." Xue subconsciously wanted to scratch her head to cover up her embarrassment, but suddenly found that her hands were tightly holding something. When she raised them up, she saw that it was a Poké Ball and a Pokédex.
"So, those were not dreams, Gongsun Yan?" Xue murmured.
"Huh? Xue, what are you talking about?" Zhu Bei said with a puzzled look on her face.
"No, no, Zhubei, thank you so much. If you hadn't woken me up, I might have been attacked by Pokémon in the wild." Xue stood up as if nothing had happened and thanked Zhubei for her help.
"Well, actually you would be fine without me by your side. There is a Pokémon that has been protecting you by your side. If it wasn't for me being able to wake you up, it probably wouldn't have let me get close to you." Zhubei said with a strange expression on her face, and turned around, revealing the Pokémon that was threatening her against her waist.
"What kind of Pokémon is this? Dushusha!" Xue exclaimed immediately after seeing the Pokémon behind Zhubei. It turned out to be a steel and ghost-type Pokémon that lived in the Kalos region, and was transformed from the long sword used by ancient people.
"Is this the gift you gave me? It really suits me. Thank you very much." Xue thanked Gongsun Yan silently in her heart, waved to call the scabbard over, and wrapped the blue cloth on the hilt of the scabbard around her right hand.
Although the blue cloth on the hilt of the Single Sword Sheath will absorb human energy, Xue, as a super green washer, doesn't care about this little energy at all. The energy she absorbs is faster than she can get it back. Since it can promote the growth of the Single Sword Sheath, just let it absorb it.
"Okay, Zhubei, I have to go find the Origin Ore. I will definitely pacify the violent Sinnoh Lord." Xue walked towards the ancient cave, where Muchun was still waiting for her to collect the Origin Ore.
"Hmm~, I always feel that the snow has become a lot weirder after it disappeared, but I also feel that the snow hasn't changed at all. It's really contradictory." Zhu Bei said strangely as she watched the figure with the scabbard wrapped around his right hand gradually going away.
Has it changed? Maybe, maybe not, who knows?
..........................................................................................
"Okay, I've completed what you asked me to do. I found the colorful meteorite and recorded the video, but there are some missing parts due to various reasons. But it's not a big deal. I sent it to President Zfuchi. The rest is up to you. After Rayquaza absorbs the colorful meteorite, Meteor Village is no longer dangerous. You can study it at will."
Gongsun Yan answered the call from Daigo who was far away in the Sinnoh region. Before the other party could speak, he kept talking a lot and finally ended the conversation with a sentence.
"I'm a little tired. You guys should study the details on your own and don't ask me. Also, I'm giving away your scabbard. To make it up to you, you can take a mega stone from my reward. That's it. I'm hanging up now."
After hanging up the phone, Gongsun Yan returned to the hotel where he stayed last night. He lay on his back on the bed, looking at the white ceiling with a confused look. His eyelids became heavier and heavier due to the invasion of sleepiness. Finally, he fell into a deep sleep, still muttering to himself.
"The Washiu region, Sinnoh, Tianguan Mountain, snow? That's really your style..."
After Gongsun Yan returned to the hotel, he suddenly remembered a rumor he had read before. On the Tianguan Mountain, the tallest mountain in Sinnoh, in addition to the ruins of the temple dedicated to Arceus, there were also the remains of a tomb that no one could enter.
At the outermost edge of the ruins, there is a king-level shield sword monster guarding there. Any invading enemy, whether it is a human or a Pokémon, cannot break through its blockade. Any enemy who insists on breaking in will be killed without hesitation. Many treasure hunters who heard the news died tragically under the opponent's sword.
The few people who risked their lives to break into the ruins were swallowed up by countless unknown totems and never appeared in this world again.
Gongsun Yan originally thought that this was just an interesting rumor, but now it seems that this should be Xue's grave. This kind of thing has never appeared in the original work and is so important. It can only be the work of a time traveler or a reborn person.
Just when Gongsun Yan fell into a deep sleep, in the Sinnoh region, at the top of Mount Tianguan, there were unknown ruins.
At the core of the unknown ruins, there is a huge tomb chamber. The tomb chamber is quite empty, with only a stone coffin placed in the center. Apart from that, there is only a short square table next to the coffin, on which is placed an unremarkable wooden box.
Even after years of baptism, nothing in the tomb showed any signs of being eroded by time, as if it were sealed, even the wooden box that was most prone to decay.
As the snow appeared and disappeared in the present time and space, the walls around the tomb suddenly began to tremble. Pairs of eyes opened one after another, flew down from the walls, and kept dancing in the tomb.
It turns out that there are a large number of unknown totems living on the walls of this tomb. They are densely attached to the walls, sleeping day after day, guarding their masters. Whenever an invader approaches the tomb, some of the unknown totems will automatically detach and go to drive away the invader.
The way they drive away invaders is also very simple. They open a space channel and throw the invaders in. Whether they can survive depends on their luck.
Now they became restless because of the appearance and disappearance of their master's breath, and finally returned to the wall in the wonderful fluctuations emitted by the wooden box and continued to fall into sleep. But before falling asleep, they projected their master again. She was a beautiful woman with long snow-white hair, who was staring at the wooden box in a daze.
This is the most common thing their masters do before leaving. In that wooden box are placed several mega stones, a legendary slate given by Lord Arceus, and a red Pokémon encyclopedia.
Chapter 357: Openly cheating?
"Hmm~, it's dawn." Gongsun Yan struggled to get up from the bed in the hotel and stared blankly ahead. Although he had entered the game last night, he rarely did anything. He just lay on the grass in a daze, silently waiting for time to pass.
"Hey, get up, get up. First go and give the things to President Zfuchi, and then borrow a helicopter to run away." After thinking about what to do next, Gongsun Yan jumped out of the bed with a somersault. He didn't even have time to take a shower before going to bed yesterday, and he didn't even take off his clothes. Now he feels uncomfortable all over.
After washing up, Gongsun Yan looked refreshed and strolled out of the hotel. He walked leisurely to the headquarters of Devon Company. After greeting the lady at the front desk, he took the elevator next to him, checked his Pokémon encyclopedia, and headed to the top floor.
"Dangdang!"
"Hey, this is a special evolution item I got from a visitor from another time and space. This piece of coal-like material can make Kujira evolve into a Pokémon called Luna, and this black stone can make Scyther evolve into a Pokémon called Splitter. You can try them out first, and then you can buy these two items in large quantities on the market."
Gongsun Yan walked to the desk of President Zfuchi and said a lot of things with an expressionless face. He was even a little sleepy and kept yawning. He didn't pay any attention to the strange expression of President Zfuchi.
"Oh, okay, I understand. I'll let the researchers start working on it, but it shouldn't be a problem for you, after all..."
President Zifuchi didn't even focus on the two props in front of him. Instead, he looked at Gongsun Yan, who seemed to be calm, with great concern. They watched the video that Gongsun Yan sent overnight. In the ancient Sinnoh region, also known as the Xicui region, someone actually controlled the power of the God of Space and formed a bond with Gongsun Yan. These made everyone present very excited. They seemed to have witnessed history.
However, President Zfuchi's focus is different from those researchers. He does not care about witnessing history. He cares more about the mental state of Gongsun Yan, a junior. Although Gongsun Yan has only known Xue for less than a day, he can see that the two have formed a close bond.
Bonds are actually a double-edged sword, whether it is between people or between people and Pokémon. The deeper the bond, the stronger the tacit understanding and cooperation between the two will be, which is naturally excellent.
But once one of the bound parties leaves, the blow to the other party will be extremely strong. He has seen this countless times, and each time left a deep impression on him, so he is very worried about Gongsun Yan now. The more he conceals, the greater the impact on the other party.
"No problem, I can adjust to it. It's less than two weeks away from the opening of the Caiyou Conference, and I plan to make a good appearance!" Gongsun Yan said nonchalantly, but he suddenly thought of something and spoke quickly.
"By the way, Mr. President, can you please contact the league and manipulate it privately so that Xiaozhi and I don't meet before the finals?"
"Are you kidding?! You are cheating, you know that!" A few # characters suddenly appeared above President Zifuchi's head. Seeing that Gongsun Yan was still so shameless, he suddenly stopped worrying about the other party's mentality.
"Oh, don't say that. The league should also know the strength of the two of us. If we face each other before the finals, then the following games will be too unsuspenseful. If the league doesn't care, the broadcaster will definitely not be happy. The advertising fee for the finals is so expensive. It will be a pity if it is only broadcast for a few seconds in total." Gongsun Yan said with a grin.
It is normal for him to plan like this. Based on the strength of him and Xiaozhi, the other contestants will probably be defeated in a short time. If the two of them meet in advance, then regardless of who will win or lose between Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi, the next game will definitely be a suspense, just like the legendary beast man in Sinnoh.
At that time, the legendary Pokémon Man released the second Pokémon during the competition with Satoshi. Even during the gym challenge, he only used a Darkrai. He simply killed all the enemies in seconds. After watching too many competitions like this, the audience would feel tired. Not to mention the advertisers, as all the advertising fees were wasted.
It is estimated that the Sinnoh League at that time did not think that Ash could pose any obstacle to Legendary Beast Man, otherwise they would definitely make arrangements to let Ash and Legendary Beast Man meet in the finals to greatly increase the ratings.
"Besides, I didn't ask the league to cooperate with me in fixing the game. I just want to make sure that Xiaozhi and I don't face off before the finals. We will defeat all opponents with our real skills and will never let anyone accuse us of cheating. Real man, cute big breasts." Gongsun Yan said with a smirk.
"... Get out of here, the helicopter is ready for you, get out of here right now." After thinking for a while, President Zfuchi suddenly felt that what the brat said made sense. He was planning to say that he would think about it, but after seeing Gongsun Yan's smirk, he became so angry that he quickly drove the other person away.
"Okay, take your time to think about it, I'm leaving first! Don't forget what I said!" Gongsun Yan picked up the backpack beside him and walked towards the elevator, reminding President Zifuchi as he walked.
President Zfuchi said nothing, but picked up something and pretended to throw it over. Gongsun Yan was so scared that he ran out in one step. When he got on the elevator, he did not forget to make a face at President Zfuchi.
"This brat, he really dares to say that!" President Zfuchi threw the thing in his hand back on the desk. Suddenly, he felt that something was not right. After taking a closer look, he found that it was a small wooden box. When he opened it, he saw a small note.
[President, please give the contents of the box to my father when he returns. Thank you. Gongsun Yanliu.]
He took the paper away and saw two mega stones and a key stone, both of which were polished. Coincidentally, he knew both of these mega stones, one was the mega stone of Charizard X, and the other was the mega stone of Metagross. Gongsun Che had both of these Pokémon and was a member of the main team.
The fact is very clear. This is a gift from Gongsun Yan to his father, and it is very valuable.
"This boy is really generous." After President Zfuchi sighed, he closed the box and put it in the drawer of his desk. He waited for Gongsun Che to come back and gave it to him. He then turned on the phone beside him and dialed a number.
"President Darkranli, I have something to discuss with you..."
Chapter 358: Chaos, chaos.
"Ah~, this helicopter is so uncomfortable to sit in. It has to stop for refueling many times during the journey, and the speed is very slow. It is really a bad experience." Gongsun Yan stepped down from the helicopter and stretched the first thing he did. The space in the helicopter was too small, and he always felt uncomfortable sitting in it.
In fact, Dewen Company has a private jet in Kanaz City. The decoration on it is absolutely impeccable. It takes into account the flying speed and the comfortable experience. Unfortunately, there is no airport in Mushui Town. No matter how good the private jet is, there is no place to land. Gongsun Yan does not want to experience the thrill of skydiving, so he can only give up this tempting option helplessly.
And because Gongsun Yan was not in such a hurry, the journey took two full days. Gongsun Yan sat in the helicopter and took a good look at the beautiful scenery of Fangyuan. While emptying his mind, he also swept away the sadness of saying goodbye to his friends. It turns out that people still have to look forward.
Although Gongsun Yan and Xue only met for a short day, the friendship between them was no less than anyone else. Some people are like this, they can become good friends in a short time of knowing each other, while some people can still have a very bad relationship even if they have been together for a long time.
The friendship between Gongsun Yan and Xue was very pure. It was not mixed with anything else, nor did it show any signs of developing in some strange direction. In just one day, there was no corresponding soil for it to develop in that direction.
Gongsun Yan now only wants to go to Tianguan Mountain when he goes to the Sinnoh region in the future to see the last trace of snow left in this world. Even a trainer who has conquered the God of Time and the God of Space, and even has the help of Arceus' clone, cannot escape the assassination of time, and in the end only a handful of yellow earth is left.
This also made Gongsun Yan realize for the first time the destructive power of the theory of longevity. However, he was only ten years old and was not yet worried about his lifespan. Based on the average lifespan of people in the Pokémon world, he would not have to worry about this problem for at least another hundred years.
Compared to worrying about whether his life span is long enough, Gongsun Yan is actually more worried about another thing. If he arrives at the gate of the unknown ruins on Tianguan Mountain, he will be turned away by the shield sword monster. Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
You said he would take action or not. If he didn't, he couldn't go in to pay tribute to the other party. If he took action, it would be a bit disrespectful. He was going to sweep the grave, not to confiscate property. Why did he resort to violence?
In the end, Gongsun Yan decisively chose to put the matter behind him. Going to the Sinnoh region would be next year anyway, and he still had to participate in the Caiyou Conference and the Quartz Conference this year. There was no point in being anxious now, so he might as well think about how to congratulate Xiaoyao for winning the fifth ribbon.
That's right, Gongsun Yan had just got off the helicopter when he saw Xiaoyao's photo hanging on the big screen in the distance, indicating that she had won the gorgeous competition. Then the award ceremony was broadcast. Xiaoyao and Meowth were celebrating with the Duskwater Ribbons, while Xiaozhi and others were standing behind and applauding.
"That's exactly what Xiaoyao does. This is the last Grand Contest before the Grand Celebration, and Xiaoyao actually released Meowth to participate instead of choosing the more outstanding Milotic in every way. That's really outrageous."
Gongsun Yan smiled and shook his head. How come Xiaoyao has become so reckless as Xiaozhi? Even if Milotic is not used to participate in the competition, Blaziken is still a good choice. There is no rule in the Grand Prix that prohibits the use of mega evolution. With the trump card of mega evolution, he can easily pass both the first and second reviews.
But since they have won, Gongsun Yan has nothing to say. Maybe Xiaoyao is planning to use mega evolution as his trump card to shock the audience at the grand celebration. In this regard, Gongsun Yan can only say that he is very brave. He dares to hide his shortcomings in such an important competition. Didn’t you see that Xiaomao missed the top 16 in the Quartz Conference because of his shortcomings?
And what Xiaoyao thought was his secret weapon was not so safe in Gongsun Yan's eyes. After all, Xiaoshun had talked to Gongsun Yan and asked him if he had Absol's mega stone. He could exchange it with Gongsun Yan for Heracross' mega stone.
After seeing this news, Gongsun Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. It seemed that the league was beginning to gradually release news about mega stones. Apart from anything else, for those high-end trainers, the existence of mega evolution was no longer a secret, and some trainers had also obtained mega stones to a greater or lesser extent, but the types might not be what they wanted.
Therefore, by the time of the grand celebration, people who can use mega evolution will probably emerge one after another like mushrooms after rain, and Xiaoyao's advantage will probably not last for a few days.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Yan also took out his Pokémon Navigator and sent a message to Xiao Shun, telling him that he now had Absol's mega stone in his hand, and whether he still needed it.
Before Gongsun Yan could put down the Pokémon Navigator, Xiao Shun's reply popped up. It turned out that he had already exchanged for Absol's Mega Stone and no longer needed to exchange it.
Gongsun Yan could only congratulate him and ask Xiao Shun if he had a key stone. If not, he could help think of a solution. It's not that he wanted to add excitement to Xiao Yao's victory, he just thought it was fun. If a large number of mega evolutions appeared in the Grand Celebration, then maybe mega evolutions could be used in this league competition, which would increase his chances of defeating Xiaozhi a lot.
Then Xiao Shun said that he had collected a complete set of equipment and was currently practicing mega evolution. He would definitely show his strongest state in the subsequent grand celebration. By the way, he also told Gongsun Yan and Xiao Yao not to cry if they lost to him.
Good guy, Gongsun Yan exclaimed good guy, you have taken all the bamboo shoots on the mountain. Even if you want to attract Xiaoyao's attention, you don't have to use this method. What's the difference between this and a primary school student grabbing the hair of the person in front of him to attract attention? It's too low-end.
Gongsun Yan naturally... agreed with this kind of elementary school student's behavior. He immediately said that he would tell Xiaoyao everything without missing a word. You can rest assured that he will do the job.
This kind of explosive atmosphere is certainly not good for the parties involved, but for Gongsun Yan, a spectator, the more chaotic the scene is, the better, as it will be more fun.
Extra 1: Leisurely Life in Alola
(The author is worried that the foreshadowing of Snow will be forgotten later in the story, so he might as well finish this extra chapter in advance. The timeline is after Gongsun Yan attends the Quartz Conference.)
Gongsun Yan's house in the Alola region, on the outskirts of Haole City.
"Ah~, the Alola region is indeed the best place for a vacation. The Hoenn champion position? Even dogs wouldn't sit there. Daigo, you should just stay there."
Gongsun Yan was lying on a lounge chair in the yard, basking in the sun leisurely. Emperor Snake was coiled beside him, apparently having fallen into a deep sleep.
Ever since Gongsun Yan won the Quartz Conference Championship, he immediately returned to the Alola region, both for vacation and to avoid Daigo's pursuit.
Because Gongsun Yan and Mikoli teamed up to trap Daigo back to the position of Hoenn champion, Daigo immediately issued a kill order for the two of them, vowing to teach them a lesson. Then he was locked in the champion's office by President Darkranli. He really couldn't accept the fact that the championship changed hands several times in a year, as if the position of Hoenn champion was worthless.
President Darkranli has wanted more than once to find a trainer in the region who could replace the three losers headed by Daigo and take the championship position. As a result, he really couldn't find a suitable candidate after searching for a long time. Gongsun Yan's father Gongsun Che was one, but he was devoted to research and had no idea about the championship position. President Darkranli didn't want to force him.
As for the Four Heavenly Kings of the Hoenn region, it’s better not to mention them. Except for King Genji who took the position of king in order to protect Pokémon, the other three kings were cultivated by Daigo, and they refused to snatch Daigo's championship position.
King Genji is getting old and is unable to handle the position of king. If he is forced to continue to be king, it is estimated that the first person in history who dies from exhaustion as a champion will appear. President Darkranly really does not want to be the bad guy.
Besides, Genji was ready to hand over the position of the Four Heavenly Kings to Chisato, and he would retire and sail the sea from now on. Under such circumstances, it was even more impossible for him to take the title of the champion of the Hoenn region. Just like what Gongsun Yan said, the title of the champion of Hoenn? Not even a dog would take it.
As for Qianli, his strength is more than enough to be a king, but he is still a little lacking to be a champion. He is only proficient in general Pokémon, so he is a little weak compared to Du and Sirona.
After searching around, President Darkranli sadly discovered that in such a large Hoenn region, he couldn't even find a person who could be the champion. Or rather, it was not that he couldn't find anyone, but it was a miracle that there were three people who could support the title of champion in one region. No other region had such a grand occasion, but these three people were not good people.
Daigo only likes mining. Compared with the league champion, Mikoli prefers to hold a grand competition. The Mikoli Cup is in full swing now. As for Gongsun Yan? He is just a salted fish. Isn't it nice to lie in the beautiful Alola region and bask in the sun?
Fortunately, these three people still have some conscience and know that the Hoenn region cannot be without a champion, so they will find someone to fill the position no matter what. This is the only thing that makes President Darkranli feel a little relieved.
"Hey, why are you lying here like a nobody as soon as you arrive in the Alola region? Didn't you promise the alliance to form the Alola Alliance? Is this really a good idea?" An ethereal voice sounded from Gongsun Yan's side. The Monarch Snake slightly raised its head to look at the visitor, and reluctantly made way for him.
"Oh, it's Liliae. Good morning. Don't worry. I have already planned everything for the Alola League. The four island kings will each select two reliable people to serve as gym leaders. They will be the first Four Heavenly Kings. The champion position will be given to Professor Kukui, and the regional doctor will be Professor Barnett. The rest of the hardware and software are available in the league, so you can just refer to them."
Gongsun Yan slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at the pretty lady standing in front of him. His originally calm mood was suddenly disturbed. Looking at Liliae sparkling in the sun, Gongsun Yan couldn't stop thinking about her.
"This girl is getting prettier and prettier. If she waits a few more years, she won't be considered a pervert if she takes action now."
"Haha, so you didn't do anything at all, you threw all the work to everyone else, and you are just being lazy here, right?" Liliae accused Gongsun Yan righteously. If she hadn't been lying on the recliner next to Gongsun Yan, Gongsun Yan might really feel guilty.
"I can't help it. My father-in-law and mother-in-law have covered all the expenses for forming the Alola Alliance. They only asked for an advertisement for the Aether Foundation. It's really hard for me to refuse. My eldest brother-in-law also took the initiative to help me investigate the candidates selected by the King of the Island. Everyone is so cooperative that I really can't find any place to intervene."
Gongsun Yan took out the parfait he had made himself from the refrigerator next to him, poured a circle of maple syrup on it and handed it to Liliae who was standing beside him. Liliae took it very easily and ate a few bites leisurely before suddenly reacting. She blushed and gave Gongsun Yan a look, saying coquettishly.
"Who, who are your father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law? If you say that again, I won't forgive you."
Gongsun Yan looked at Liliae's blushing face and didn't notice what she said just now. Liliae looked shy so pretty. Gongsun Yan felt like his heart had been shot by Cupid's arrow countless times. He suddenly felt that he couldn't go on like this. In less than two years, he would have to keep quick-acting heart pills on hand.
