"Yes, Grandpa, look, this plane is so luxurious. It is said to be the latest model launched by Silver Aircraft Corporation. And there are only a few of us passengers on the whole plane. Isn't it thoughtful?" Nanami looked at her grandfather, trying to get away with it by being cute.
"That's true, but can you explain the family crest on this plane?" Dr. Oak felt the veins in his temples bursting, and said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, none of this matters!" Nanami was silent for a while after looking at the various ghosts painted on the plane and its purple and black color scheme. Finally, she decided to pretend she didn't see it.
"You...you're talking nonsense! I don't care, there's no way I'm getting on this plane!" Dr. Oak said with his eyes wide open.
..........................................................................................
"Hello, please fasten your seat belts." The flight attendant stood in the aisle and gently reminded passengers to fasten their seat belts.
"Oh, okay." Dr. Oak had a sullen face and fastened his seat belt obediently.
"Hehe, Grandpa, you still got on this plane." Nanami said with a chuckle.
"If you hadn't colluded with Dragonite in advance, do you think I would have turned around and left? And one more thing, I'm already on this plane. Can I make that Gengar hiding in my shadow go away?" Professor Oak looked at the Poké Balls in his pocket viciously. When he was threatened by Gengar just now, none of them were willing to give him a Poké Ball to help him.
"Koujie~" After hearing what Professor Oak said, before Nanami could say anything, a little purple fat man came out from Professor Oak's shadow, smiled and gave Professor Oak a spa with his tongue.
"Okay, okay, Gengar, I know you're excited to see me, but there's no need to be so excited." Professor Oak looked at Gengar in front of him with helplessness. Electric arcs flashed on his body from time to time, but the strange thing was that these arcs disappeared the next second.
"It seems that Gengar still likes to stick to you. Many times I wonder who is his trainer." A slightly hoarse voice came from behind Professor Oak. Hearing this voice, Professor Oak immediately fell silent, while Gengar became even more excited and even plucked his tongue as if it were a guitar string.
"Yes, we argued for a long time about Gengar's training." Professor Oak fell into memories.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that although you were so young, you were very good at training Pokémon. Even I have to say that you are really a genius." Kikuko walked slowly towards them from behind, holding her cane.
"Your family's training method is also very good. I just made some supplements." Professor Oak reached out and touched Gengar's head, saying with a smile.
"But you, such a genius, became a traitor!" Kikuko's voice suddenly rose, with a tone that contained four parts of dissatisfaction, three parts of disdain, two parts of regret, and one part of reminiscence.
"We have been arguing about this issue for decades. I don't think you are here to start a new round of argument. Also, why are you on this plane too?" Dr. Oak said with a frown.
"You've already guessed it, right? This is my family's plane. That kid Gongsun Yan also invited me, an old man. It's already a special favor that I'm willing to take you with him." Kikuko didn't continue the previous topic. She sat down next to Professor Oak in an experienced manner and fastened her seat belt.
After seeing this scene, Professor Oak immediately planned to get up and change his seat, but Nanami, who was sitting on the other side of him, had already taken out a pair of headphones and an eye mask from her bag and sat down pretending to be asleep.
Although Professor Oak could guess that something was fishy with just his toes, Nanami's actions made him feel embarrassed to wake her up, even though there was a 99% chance that Nanami was pretending to be asleep.
Having been tricked, Professor Oak could only give up and put on a blindfold, lying down so as not to see anything and be bothered by it.
Just after Professor Oak put on the blindfold, Nanami took off her own blindfold and gave Kikuko a sly smile. Kikuko also smiled and nodded to Nanami. Everything was said without words.
Hanako on the side witnessed the whole process, but she was obviously also part of this plan, so she naturally would not remind the other party. After all, she also felt that Professor Oak really needed someone to take care of himself, and eating too much instant noodles was really not good for him.
Chapter 425: Fallen Angels Are Also Angels
Continuing from the previous story, after being plotted against by Gongsun Yan and others, Dr. Oak walked down the plane with an ugly face and glared at Gongsun Yan who came to pick him up. During the time on the plane, he had already figured out who the culprit was, and it was obviously Gongsun Yan, his grandson. (Gongsun Yan is Dr. Oak's apprentice, and also a grandson, so it's okay to call him grandson.)
"Ahem, hello, Professor Oak, welcome to the Hoenn area for guidance." Gongsun Yan naturally knew that he was in the wrong, but he could only flatter him and greet him, looking like a village chief welcoming a cadre who had come to the countryside.
"Hmph!" Dr. Oak glanced at Gongsun Yan sideways and snorted, which was considered a response to Gongsun Yan.
While Gongsun Yan and Professor Oak were having a "friendly" exchange, the people nearby were not idle either. They all went to look for their mothers. Xiaozhi rushed in front of Hanako, and the mother and son seemed to have endless things to say. Xiaogang waited by the side with a smile. As for Nanami, she was taken away with the group of women led by Lusamine, and the same went for Kikuko.
"Dr. Oak, it's not our fault. We, the younger ones, are worried about your health. You are so busy with research and there is no one to take care of you. We, the younger ones, can't bear it!" Gongsun Yan persuaded Dr. Oak as if he wanted to pour out his heart.
"......Look for yourself, does she look like someone who can take care of people?!" Professor Oak obviously didn't buy it. He tilted his head in the direction of Kikuko and motioned Gongsun Yan to look over there.
"Ah, this..." Gongsun Yan looked at Kikuko, who was dressed like a witch in a fairy tale in the distance, and suddenly he couldn't say the words of dissuasion.
"None of this matters, Dr. Oak. How about I tell you a story?" Gongsun Yan decided to skip the current topic. He felt that if he continued to let Dr. Oak speak, he might not be able to say what he had prepared.
"Hehe." Professor Oak seemed to want to see what Gongsun Yan wanted to say. He looked at Gongsun Yan with a sneer and saw the way he put his hand on the Poké Ball. If the story told by Gongsun Yan could not impress him, then a full-scale fight might break out.
"Uh, don't get excited, don't get excited. The story goes like this. There was once a boy and a girl who liked each other, but neither of them had the courage to speak up, and neither of them took the first step. Eventually, as time passed, the two gradually lost contact."
"Many years later, when they met again in a vast crowd, they had already led their own lives. They smiled and said hello, then passed by each other and never met again since then."
"Sometimes they wonder, if they had the courage to take that step, would the ending be different? Would it end in sadness? Or would they spend their lives together?"
"But all that is just imagination, because I didn't take that step at the beginning, and I haven't taken that step since then, and I can't take it again."
"So, if someone has the courage to take the first step, how can we ask them to continue taking steps toward us?"
"What do you think? Dr. Oak, now it's your turn to take the first step." Gongsun Yan said to Dr. Oak with a smile. Dr. Oak actually saw a hint of sadness in his eyes. He was obviously only ten years old, how could he have such emotions.
After listening to Gongsun Yan's story, both Professor Oak and Gongsun Yan fell into a long silence. Professor Oak was chewing on the deep meaning of the story, while Gongsun Yan was lost in memories. The protagonist of this story was none other than himself in his previous life.
After that encounter, Gongsun Yan changed his QQ signature to "We passed each other, looking back suddenly, nothing is there, but... there are cherry blossoms to accompany me."
He couldn't remember when the girl beside him, who always had a smile on her face and eyes as calm as a pool of autumn water, disappeared.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but glance at Kikuko in the distance. He inexplicably felt that the two of them were similar. Perhaps one shouldn't meet someone too outstanding when he is young, because her (his) shadow will accompany him in his future life.
But we don’t regret it, do we?
Moreover, there is now an opportunity for Gongsun Yan to make up for a regret. Even if this is not the regret he has, so what? There are only two kinds of people in this world who have experienced regrets. One kind of person hopes that everyone is as unfortunate as him, as if only in this way can his heart be balanced.
But Gongsun Yan is exactly the other kind of person. He hopes that others will not be as unfortunate as he is. It seems that he feels warm as long as he sees others happy.
"...You are right, but does this affect my beating you up?" Professor Oak seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his head and there was no longer the confusion in his eyes. However, what he said made Gongsun Yan's face freeze.
"Ah!" Just as Nanami and Xiaoyao were talking to the others, Gongsun Yan's screams were heard from the side. When everyone looked over, Gongsun Yan was being chased around the room by Professor Oak. All their Pokémon were released, but they didn't take action. Instead, they stood there with their arms around each other and watched the fun.
After a half-hour chase, the farce ended with Gongsun Yan being picked up by Professor Oak and having his bones loosened. Nanami made new friends, Hanako met her son whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Kikuko took the first step, Professor Oak made up his mind and stretched his muscles. Everyone was happy.
It must be said that Lillie is indeed a little angel. When everyone ignored Gongsun Yan who was lying on the ground wailing, she was the only one who came to Gongsun Yan's side, poked him carefully, and asked gently, "Are you okay?"
"Woo~, Liliae, it turns out to be you. They are all a bunch of bad guys and don't care about me." At this moment, Gongsun Yan felt like he saw an angel.
"Oh, I was just worried that Slimy Dragon lost its trainer before it was born. I'm relieved that you're okay." Liliae said this in a low voice and ran away from Gongsun Yan, with no intention of helping Gongsun Yan up.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Fallen angels are also angels. It's okay, they are all the same." Gongsun Yan silently got up from the ground. He suddenly felt that the world was so cold. He wanted to go back to the dormitory quickly and get into his own bed. It seemed that only this could bring him a little warmth.
Chapter 426: I became a dragon?
After meeting up with Professor Oak and his group, everyone unanimously decided to have some dessert to fill their stomachs before dinner. Gongsun Yan, who had fallen to the ground, barely got up and followed everyone with a staggering gait.
"My goodness, hasn't Professor Oak been the Pokémon doctor for decades? How come he has developed such a bug-level set of horizontal training skills? I'm obviously quite strong, so how come I can't even block it?" Gongsun Yan cursed loudly in his heart. He had a really difficult time just now. He couldn't run away, he couldn't fight back, and could only passively take the beating.
It must be said that the real rookies are indeed the eternal gods. When Gongsun Yan blocked Professor Oak's first move, he thought he was in close combat with a monster with great strength. The feeling of being crushed in both strength and skills was really miserable.
Sitting in a seat in the dessert shop, Gongsun Yan looked at the cake in front of him and felt that he had lost all appetite. He could only look at the people around him.
The two elderly people, Professor Oak and Kikuko, obviously had no idea about desserts. Each of them was holding a bowl of red bean rice cake soup and eating it. This kind of thing often appears in Japanese dramas. Gongsun Yan also likes to eat it very much. Unfortunately, it is summer now, and this thing is most suitable to be eaten in winter. But it is another story for the elderly.
In front of Xiaozhi and Masamune were containers that were either bowls or basins filled with shaved ice. They seemed to have transferred their grudges from the game to food and were competing to see who could eat more. Gongsun Yan felt very cold just watching them and hoped that the two of them wouldn't have diarrhea tonight.
The ladies were chatting while eating desserts. The friendship between girls was really strange. After only knowing each other for a short while, they were as close as sisters, which made Gongsun Yan and his group of straight men hard to understand.
However, the friendship between boys is also quite strange. Just by exchanging a few words or having a fight, two people can become best friends. Most of the people present knew each other in this way.
Gongsun Yan sat at the bar, watching the conversation between people. It was not that he couldn't fit in, but because the bowl of shaved ice was too scary, Gongsun Yan didn't dare to go over to join in the fun.
However, the only thing that made Gongsun Yan feel relieved was that Liliae did not join in. She sat at the bar like him, but her attention was completely focused on Parfait in front of her. She just disliked it being too noisy over there, and did not have the feeling of standing out like Gongsun Yan.
Gongsun Yan looked around and would occasionally cast his eyes on Liliae. He saw Liliae sitting at the bar, swinging her legs leisurely, happily digging into the parfait in front of her. The Pokémon egg of Slimy was also temporarily returned to Gongsun Yan.
Maybe it was because she was too greedy, she swung the spoon a little faster, and she was so cold that she couldn't help but close her eyes, holding her head with both hands, and making a "wuwu" sound with her mouth.
"How can I give up? After all, I have seen the world. How could I fall down at the hands of such a little girl? But she is really cute. My health bar is almost empty." Gongsun Yan had an expression on his face that could be easily misunderstood.
Just as Gongsun Yan was struggling with the fact that his "hobby" seemed to have undergone some subtle changes with his rebirth, the Pokémon Navigator in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Just as Gongsun Yan took it out in confusion, Xiaosheng on the other side did the same thing.
"The list of opponents for the quarterfinals has appeared?" x2
Perhaps because the number of people was reduced by half, everyone learned about the match list for the next game before dark, and the words "Xiaozhi vs. Tetsuya" on it looked so glaring.
However, these two were not newcomers, and their friendship did not affect the fight at all. On the contrary, they did not even bother to eat the shaved ice in front of them, and they couldn't wait for the game to start right now.
Seeing the two people entering the battle mode right away, everyone shook their heads helplessly, except Professor Oak, who nodded with great appreciation. He probably praised Xiaozhi in his heart, "You are worthy of being a fighting person that I recognize."
"Ah, ha, you are worthy of being the person that old man Oki values. You are exactly the same as you used to be." Kikuko also looked at Xiaozhi with interest. She felt that she saw the positive and enterprising boy back then.
"Haha, his destination is far beyond mine." Dr. Oak's eyes were full of determination.
..........................................................................................
Time passed, and the years shuttled through. A night passed quickly, and the quarterfinals of the next day started on time. This time, Gongsun Yan's matches with Xiaozhi, Zheye and others were completely staggered. Gongsun Yan was in the first match in the morning, while the two of them were in the last match, so Gongsun Yan was not worried at all that he would miss this wonderful scene.
By the way, when Gongsun Yan and others went to pick up Professor Oak, he saw the little boy selling newspapers again. He bought another newspaper and found that the rankings of the three of them were very stable, and they firmly held the titles of the top three seeded players in their hands.
Moreover, the scores of these three are obviously much higher than those of the following ones. It can be said that they stand out from the crowd. Gongsun Yan's opponent in this battle is also on the list, but he is the one ranked at the bottom. The Pokémon he is good at is the Bug-type Pokémon which is known for its fragile body.
What's there to say? The opponent came on the field, sent out the Pokémon, and lost. It's that simple. There wasn't even any unexpected situation.
In fact, the opponent's Pokémon lineup is not bad either. They have a Giganotosaurus, a Vulcano, and Pokémon like Heracross that can create miracles. Their strength can really be said to be good, and they even have the potential to compete for the championship.
Unfortunately, he met Gongsun Yan, an out-of-character Pokémon. Apart from other things, Gongsun Yan could use the classic literacy move Flamethrower, which almost every Pokémon could use, and most bug-type Pokémon would be restrained by fire-type Pokémon.
The opponent's Vulcano is worthy of being the Pokémon that is known as the Sun God in the Unova region. From the moment he appeared on the field, the sunlight seemed to be focused on him. Gongsun Yan even felt that the temperature on the field was more than a little higher.
As a result, the opponent was unlucky enough to run into Dragonite, and Gongsun Yan used mega evolution in a very unsportsmanlike manner. The mega Dragonite with flying skin characteristics directly played tricks on the opponent. No matter how powerful the move was, it would be equal to zero if it missed. The slightly increased temperature was also almost equal to zero for Dragonite.
In the end, Gongsun Yan successfully defeated his opponent. From the beginning of the Caiyou Conference to now, except for Xiaoguang who killed a Zoroark, Gongsun Yan did not have any Pokémon that lost its combat ability.
This made Gongsun Yan suddenly realize, my god, have I become a dragon?
Chapter 427 Isn't this a bit curious?
"Hey, have you heard that the gambling place seems to be often packed recently?" said a passerby.
"Isn't this normal? It's like this every year when the Caiyou Conference is held. This isn't your first time here, is it?" another passerby joked.
"Of course I'm not talking about that. The problem is that the gambling content is completely different from before. In addition to the normal wins and losses, people are actually betting on how many Pokémon will be left on each battle." The passerby said with a little annoyance.
"Oh? This is quite new, but there's no need to make such a fuss about it." His companion looked nonchalant.
"You still don't understand what I'm talking about. Have you forgotten that a perverted character appeared in this competition?" a passerby said mysteriously.
"Wait! Could it be?" The passerby's companion finally reacted and looked at the other party in surprise.
"Yes, it is said that the gaming office has lost a lot of money in the past few days. Now I guess the person in charge can't sit still." A passerby said with a smile.
"Damn it, why waste time talking? Hurry up and buy another one before the market closes!" The passerby's companion said as he ran away.
"Hey, wait for me!" Passersby saw this and hurriedly followed.
At this time, Gongsun Yan, with a gloomy face, walked out from a side path. Although he knew that there were legal betting places in the league competition, he did not expect that he would cause a gambling frenzy, which made him not know what to do.
"It's not a big deal, right? You don't need to worry so much, right?" Liliae, who was following Gongsun Yan, asked in confusion.
"Alas, I'm just a little worried. I'm afraid these people will get carried away and invest all their fortunes. Maybe they don't deserve sympathy, but their families will suffer unexpected disasters." Gongsun Yan said with a little sadness.
Gongsun Yan is not just exaggerating. This kind of situation often happened in the previous life. After a game, the rooftop was packed with people. Maybe they just left, but their families suffered.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Let's go find your backpack that you dropped in the restaurant. You are so careless that you even forgot your own backpack." Gongsun Yan silently changed the subject and mocked the other party.
"You! Humph! I'm not going to pay attention to you." Liliae immediately forgot about what happened before and looked at Gongsun Yan angrily, which made Gongsun Yan feel unable to control his hands.
"This face, which is as puffy as a pufferfish, should let out air from the mouth if I poke it with my fingers." Gongsun Yan thought so in his mind, but did not show his perverted side. Instead, he took Liliae to find the lost backpack in a very cool manner.
"Okay, let's hurry to the main venue. Satoshi and Tetsuya's match should be starting soon." Gongsun Yan looked at the time displayed on the Pokémon Navigator and said to Liliae beside him.
"Hmph~" Liliae said that she didn't want to take care of Gongsun Yan.
Gongsun Yan didn't say anything upon seeing this, but walked forward on his own, glancing at Liliae out of the corner of his eye as he walked. He found that she was indeed following him obediently, so Gongsun Yan felt relieved.
"Alas, little girls nowadays are so difficult to please, and tsundere is out of favor, really." Gongsun Yan shook his head, complained in his heart, and sent the text message he had edited earlier to President Dama Lanqi.
Just after Gongsun Yan sent this text message, the gaming department also introduced new regulations, limiting the limit of individual bets. Any amount exceeding this limit will not be accepted, and those previously received will also refund the excess amount.
After seeing this rule, the majority of gamblers wailed and greeted the management staff in elegant language, but finally they bought the upper limit stipulated in the rules.
Of course, this is only the official gambling area. There are also many illegal and private betting places that are not under the official jurisdiction. They cannot manage so many places and can only do their best and leave the rest to fate. At least they have made efforts.
(The author kindly reminds you that gambling is an extremely bad behavior. My roommate was obsessed with opening boxes of a certain shooting game today. It can only be described as horrible and a complete loss of all his money.)…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
By the time Gongsun Yan and Liliae arrived at the main venue, Xiaozhi and Zheya had already stood in their respective positions, and the commentator began to explain the information of the two opposing teams.
"Should we say it's worthy of being a match between two top seeded players? The seats are packed." Gongsun Yan protected Liliae and finally found her seat. After he sat down, he looked at the packed audience in the venue and said with a hint of envy.
There is no way around it. Although Gongsun Yan's previous match was also very exciting, it is good enough to fill half of the seats. The main venue of the Caiyou Conference is not only large, but also can accommodate a lot more spectators. Unless it is the finals, it is often difficult to fill the venue.
"It's really hard to accept that you, the second-ranked champion, say this." Xiaosheng complained silently.
"Ahem, let's not talk about this for now. Where are Professor Oak and Queen Kikuko?" Gongsun Yan looked around and did not see the two old men, so he asked in confusion.
"They are different from us. They were asked to leave early in the morning. Now they should be sitting in the viewing room upstairs." Xiaosheng said, pointing to a building above the crowd.
At this moment, in the viewing room above, an inhumane atrocity was being carried out. The current Hoenn champion, Mikoli, was standing nearby, but he had no intention of intervening. He even turned his head away and pretended that he saw nothing.
