"Hehe, why are you all looking at me? The opponent is no match for Xiaozhi. Don't worry about me, just continue." Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but sneer twice, trying to make everyone ignore him.
"Okay, stop using Lilia as a shield. Don't you see how big you are?" Xiaoyao angrily pulled out Gongsun Yan who was trying to hide behind Lilia. Especially when Gongsun Yan put his hand on Lilia's shoulder, Lilia's face turned red with shame, but she didn't stop Gongsun Yan.
Chapter 438: Four parties gather together
"Huh? You also know this sentence?" Wang Xiaoming turned his gaze to Gongsun Yan, seeming a little confused.
"Uh, coincidence, it's all coincidence!" Gongsun Yan would never admit that he stole someone else's catchphrase and immediately denied it.
"Really? I don't believe it!" After hearing Gongsun Yan's rebuttal, the other party immediately put on a standard expression of a certain host and stared at Gongsun Yan.
"Uh..." Gongsun Yan immediately started brainstorming, trying to come up with a perfect answer, but the way things turned out afterwards was beyond Gongsun Yan's expectations.
"My dear! You should also be an admirer of Brother Shi!" Wang Xiaoming rushed to Gongsun Yan at the first opportunity, with an expression as if he had seen a comrade, and grabbed Gongsun Yan's hand and refused to let go.
"Ah? Ah! Yes, yes, that's it!" Although Gongsun Yan didn't know what the other party was thinking, he still agreed with what the other party said at the first time. After all, compared to not being able to think of any other reasons, this reason was more reasonable.
"By the way, is there a Kadoya Shimokami in this world? He shouldn't be so free that he would come to this meaningless world for vacation." Gongsun Yan and Wang Xiaoming were like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. They held hands with tears in their eyes, but they were muttering to themselves.
"Although we are all admirers of Brother Shi, I will not show mercy. Let us compete in the finals!" Wang Xiaoming said with his chest puffed out.
"Um, it looks like the semi-finals haven't even started yet. Is it really okay for us to discuss the finals directly like this? It's okay for me to talk about it, but the guy behind me seems to have something to say." Gongsun Yan felt a murderous intent coming from behind him. Xiao Zhi felt depressed when he saw that the other party didn't take him seriously.
"Hey, you are too contemptuous!" As expected, Xiaozhi exploded and rushed up to argue with Wang Xiaoming. Gongsun Yan did not stop him. Instead, he was happy about it. He quickly got out of the eye of the typhoon and stood aside watching the two arguing.
"Hehe, fight, fight, what's so fun about just quarreling!" Gongsun Yan watched the fun from the sidelines and didn't mind making things worse. In his heart, he kept encouraging the two people to fight. As for why he was thinking this in his heart, it was because he was afraid that he would be beaten up after he said it out loud!
"You said before, 'It's easy on your side', what exactly did you mean?" Just as Gongsun Yan was quietly eating melon, a cold voice came from behind Gongsun Yan. After hearing this voice, Gongsun Yan jumped up in fright.
"Oh my god, who is that... ahem, hello beautiful." Gongsun Yan was originally planning to find some trouble with the guy who scared him, but he saw a woman with a great figure and cold as ice appear behind him, which made Gongsun Yan unable to utter the Zaan quotes he had prepared.
"Hmph, even though you're a handsome boy, you can't look down on me like that. Let's meet our true strength on the field!" Yan Lingji had been planning to teach Gongsun Yan, this arrogant guy, a lesson, but after seeing Gongsun Yan's face, all her anger was suppressed.
As we all know, photos will make people look ugly. Otherwise, you can take out your ID card and have a look. The person in the photo doesn’t look like you at all. The same is true for Gongsun Yan. Although the photo Gongsun Yan submitted to the alliance was also very good, it was not as stunning as seeing him in person.
"Ahem, sorry, I was rude just now. Actually, I also have a good impression of young and promising girls like you. Women are as good as men." Gongsun Yan recognized at a glance that the other party was his opponent tomorrow, and he directly made a business compliment to each other.
"You are quite good at talking, but I won't be fooled by your sweet words." The other party said so, but his expression became visibly better, and he even became interested in talking to Gongsun Yan.
At this time, an extremely strange phenomenon occurred in the Pokémon Center. Two pairs of players who would participate in the semi-finals tomorrow were facing each other. One pair couldn't stand each other and were about to start a fight; while the style of the other side changed drastically, and they all started talking about outfits.
"Hiss!" Just when Gongsun Yan and Yan Lingji were talking excitedly, Gongsun Yan felt a sharp pain in his feet. He looked closely and found that Lilia was moving her feet away from his feet as if nothing had happened.
"Ah, it looks like someone is unhappy. Let's stop here today. I won't show mercy in tomorrow's game." Seeing Lillie's seemingly indifferent but always keeping her eyes on her, Yan Lingji couldn't help but laugh twice, then turned around and said goodbye to Gongsun Yan.
"Ahem, take care. By the way, let's add Pokémon Navigator as a friend." Gongsun Yan still hadn't realized what was wrong, so he took out his own Pokémon Navigator to add a friend.
In the end, Gongsun Yan asked for the other party's friend status in a strange atmosphere, without noticing how scary Liliae's eyes were next to him.
At this moment, the fight between Xiaozhi and Wang Xiaoming came to an end. The two sides separated after saying harsh words to each other, as if they wanted to prepare well for tomorrow's battle. As a result, the two met again in front of the teleportation device.
This is not the end. After the two got the Pokémon they wanted, they once again made a harsh remark that they would make the other person suffer the next time they met. As a result, the two met again at the training ground of the Pokémon Center.
This encounter made both of them silent for a long time. The boast they had just made happened again. It was really retribution in this life. Their flags were raised high.
Putting aside the "love-hate" relationship between Xiaozhi and Wang Xiaoming, Gongsun Yan finally realized that he seemed to have angered Lillie again. Although he didn't realize what he had done wrong at all, it was always right to admit his mistakes. Coupled with Gongsun Yan's natural sense of humor, he successfully coaxed Lillie.
After returning to his room, Gongsun Yan asked Xiaogang, who shared the same room with him, with a puzzled look on his face, asking him why girls' emotions were so difficult to understand and what he had done wrong.
Gongsun Yan had no idea what Xiaogang was thinking, but when he saw Xiaogang's expression as if he had eaten a fly, he felt as if he had been being inexplicably Versailles, although he still didn't understand what was going on.
Chapter 439: Semi-finals Game 1
Nothing happened that night. The four people who were about to participate in the Caiyou Conference were all making their own preparations before the game. They had defeated many opponents along the way, including some of their own good friends. They did not want to fall down before achieving their goals.
However, any competitive game is cruel. No matter how the four prepare, someone will always lose in tomorrow's game, and the remaining two will be defeated in the final the day after tomorrow and officially win the championship of the Caiyou Conference.
The next morning at nine o'clock, the first semi-final started on time, and Gongsun Yan arrived at the main venue on time. He had participated in the opening match so many times that he was used to it.
The person standing opposite Gongsun Yan was naturally his opponent, the peerlessly beautiful Yan Lingji from the Kalos region. As soon as her opponent came on the court, the audience present immediately began to howl in agony. This kind of beauty with a curvy figure could be said to be popular with both men and women. The audience had never experienced such stimulation before, and they were almost turning into Katie dogs.
“Hehe, I’m obviously the only remaining contestant from the Hoenn region, why do I feel like I’m playing on an away field? This should be Caiyou City, I shouldn’t have arrived in Miare City overnight, right?” Gongsun Yan looked at the enthusiastic audience and inexplicably began to doubt his life.
Although the League Tournament is a large-scale event for the entire Pokémon world, home-field advantage exists everywhere, and there will naturally be many people from other regions who will come to watch the game, but there will definitely be more people from the local region.
The audience who come to watch the game usually do not have any particular favorite player. In this case, the audience will naturally prefer contestants from their own region. After all, they are still hoping that they can bring glory to their region.
As the only remaining trainer from the Hoenn region, Gongsun Yan was ready to receive applause from the audience, but this group of audience members directly defected to the other side, which in turn put Gongsun Yan under considerable pressure.
What can I say? It is true that beauty is justice. Although Gongsun Yan is also very good-looking, he is still young after all, and can only attract the attention of some female audiences. But Yan Lingji is different. This kind of mature woman can attract both men and women, not to mention her age, without any reason.
"What's wrong, little handsome boy? Are you embarrassed to make a move because your sister is so beautiful?" Yan Lingji obviously saw Gongsun Yan's hesitation and immediately became interested in teasing him.
"Haha, not at all. I think my sister is so pretty, she won't cry if I beat her up, right?" Gongsun Yan responded expressionlessly, showing his straight male nature.
"...You smooth-talking little guy, I want to see how you are going to beat me." After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Yan Lingji's face suddenly darkened, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
"Then please watch carefully, sister." Gongsun Yan directly retorted.
The conversation between the two was heard by the audience, and the entire auditorium turned into a sea of joy. Most of the men at the scene were amused by Gongsun Yan's words. They had all thought about what Gongsun Yan said before, but had never dared to say it out loud. Now they actually saw a warrior, and they all said that they had become his fans.
Xiao Gang and the others watching on the field also smiled from the bottom of their hearts, but Xiao Zhi felt very strange. He felt that there was nothing wrong with what Gongsun Yan said. Isn't this a normal pre-match trash talk stage? What's so funny?
As for the fact that Xiaozhi asked everyone what they were laughing at with a confused look on his face, let's not talk about it for now. After hearing Gongsun Yan's straightforward answer, Liliae, who had been sulking since last night, suddenly burst into laughter and was suddenly no longer angry with Gongsun Yan.
"The next match will be the semi-final between Gongsun Yan from the Hoenn region and Yan Lingji from the Kalos region. Both teams have six Pokémon. The one that loses its combat ability first will be declared the loser, and the other will advance to the final. Do both parties understand?" The referee read out the rules of the match loudly and gestured to the two people on the sidelines.
"Understood!" X2
"Then, the battle begins!"
"The first battle is up to you. Bring me victory, Demon Fire Red Fox!"
"Show them what a desert tyrant is. Bangilas, go to battle!"
Because contestant Yan Lingji had always let the Demon Fire Red Fox take the lead, Gongsun Yan specifically let Bangilas fight the first battle, wanting to see if he could win first. As a result, the opponent really had no intention of changing the order of appearance.
"Damn it, Foxy, come back first." Yan Lingji found that the Pokémon sent by the opponent was Bankiras, which was the nemesis of Foxy, so she prepared to replace the Pokémon directly.
"You wish, Bangilas, let's start a sandstorm!" How could Gongsun Yan allow the other party's plan to succeed? He asked Bangilas to stop the other party as soon as possible.
Just when the Poké Ball in Yan Lingji's hand shot out a red recovery beam, a gust of wind and sand suddenly appeared behind the Demon Fire Red Fox, blocking the recovery beam and wasting Yan Lingji's opportunity to change Pokémon.
Because there have been situations in which both teams in a match kept replacing Pokémon instead of engaging in direct combat, the league has added a new rule: in a six-on-six match, each player has only three chances to replace Pokémon.
In a three-on-three battle, you can only replace a Pokémon once. If you exceed this number, you will be directly judged as the loser.
Moreover, the rules set by the alliance are very interesting. The number of times a Pokémon is replaced is subtracted from the moment the Poké Ball's recycling ray is emitted. This means that it is completely feasible to block the opponent's recycling ray like Gongsun Yan did.
"Vox, use Sunny Day!" Yan Lingji did not waste the opportunity to replace Pokémon, and instead commanded Vox and Bankiras to compete for the weather.
"Bankiras, don't worry about the opponent, the wave of evil!" Gongsun Yan didn't care about the actions of the Demonic Fire Red Fox at all, and let Bankiras attack directly instead.
A fireball condensed from the top of the branch in the hand of the Demon Fire Red Fox and shot into the air. Bangilas didn't even look at the fireball. He directly condensed a dark evil wave in his mouth and shot it towards the Demon Fire Red Fox.
Although Vox is a Psychic-type Pokémon, it is a rare Psychic-type Pokémon that cannot teleport. Not to mention that she was in a stiff state after using a move and was hit directly by the Wave of Evil.
Chapter 440: Superpowers Are Not Such Inconvenient Things
"boom!"
The fireball released by the demon fire red fox broke through the sandstorm with difficulty and exploded in the sky above the venue. The originally sunny venue suddenly became hot. Gongsun Yan even felt that the air above the rocks on the venue was distorted.
By the way, the first half of the battle was fought on a rocky field, and it was this field that made Gongsun Yan determined to let Bankiras play. After all, compared with the other three fields, this field was most suitable for heavy Pokémon like Bankiras to play.
"Fox~"
At this time, the demon fire red fox, who was directly hit by Bangilas' evil wave, also crawled up from the ground tremblingly. Although there were some burnt marks on her body, it was harmless.
"Sure enough, Bankiras' special attack is still not enough, and his control over evil-type moves is not very good. It seems that the Demon Fire Red Fox didn't suffer any injuries." Gongsun Yan thought silently in his heart, and added a few items to Bankiras' training list.
After a period of exploration, Gongsun Yan understood where his cheat code was lacking. Although he could command his Pokémon to increase their effort values in the game, he was also constrained by the upper limit of the effort value in the game. Any item reached 252 points, and the total value reached 510 points, which was the limit.
However, in the Pokémon world, there is no limit to Pokémon. Human potential can be said to be unlimited, and the same goes for Pokémon. As long as you are willing to work hard, your effort value will continue to rise, with no limit.
Of course, bottlenecks naturally exist due to the individual differences and talents of Pokémon. At a certain stage, it becomes difficult to move forward. At this time, you have to choose whether to continue to fight hard or to learn by analogy. It depends on your own choice.
Gongsun Yan was both surprised and delighted after discovering this. He was delighted that his Pokémon had such a way to improve its strength, but he was shocked at how powerful those Four Heavenly Kings and even the champion were!
You have to know that even Gongsun Yan's master, the Pokémon of Qianli's team who is a reserve king, has an effort value of more than 200 points in each item, according to Gongsun Yan's estimation. Gongsun Yan dare not even imagine how strong those people standing at the top of each region are.
However, after a brief moment of sorrow, Gongsun Yan felt a fighting spirit rising from the bottom of his heart. Since this group of "natives" could do it, why couldn't he, a reborn person?
After realizing this, the Pokémon in Gongsun Yan's hands were equivalent to entering hell. All kinds of training that would make anyone sad and cry were placed in front of them by Gongsun Yan, and he would improve their strength at all costs.
Logically speaking, with this intensity of training, even if you have a platoon of Miss Joys standing by, it would not be enough, and the Pokémon would definitely not be able to bear it. However, Gongsun Yan has a plug-in that allows him to recover health in the game every night, thus directly preventing non-combat casualties from occurring.
However, because the training time was very short, even a top-level Pokémon like Bankiras did not show much improvement, but the slight progress also made Gongsun Yan feel gratified.
"Why? Why is there no sandstorm covering Bangilas on such a sunny day?" Yan Lingji was a little incredulous.
"Sister, you should consider the difference in strength." The reason why Gongsun Yan dared to let the Demonic Fire Red Fox go was simply because he was fearless.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter. As long as it works, that's fine. Demonic Fire Red Fox, use Sunshine Flame!" Yan Lingji shouted loudly.
Although the sunny day did not cover the sandstorm, it did successfully gather the sun's rays on the field. The demon fire red fox simply waved the branch in its hand a few times, and a blazing beam of light shot towards Bangilas.
"Bankiras, use Rockslide to block it." The Demon Fire Red Fox seemed to have been specially trained in the speed of its attacks. Before Gongsun Yan could react, the sunlight and flames approached Bankiras. There was no way to dodge it, so he simply blocked it.
After hearing Gongsun Yan's instructions, Bangilas bent down and put his hands into the ground in front of him. He stood up suddenly and used his powerful strength to break off a piece of rock from the rocky ground and blocked it in front of him.
"boom!"
As soon as Banguilas finished this series of actions, Sunshine Flame appeared in front of him and directly hit the boulder in front of Banguilas' chest. After a brief stalemate, the boulder in Banguilas' hand was actually shattered by Sunshine Flame, and the remaining power was all poured on Banguilas' body.
The move Rockslide was originally intended for the Pokémon to use local materials, either by removing a stone or "creating" one with its own rock energy, and then throwing it at the opponent at an extremely fast speed. After being used by Gongsun Yan, although it became a defensive move, it was ultimately lacking in many aspects and was unable to block the Sunshine Flame of the Flame Fox.
But Bankiras' own special defense is also not weak. The sunlight and flames released by the Demon Fire Red Fox were blocked by the boulder, and the remaining power only massaged Bankiras. To use the game terminology, it was just the level of breaking the defense.
"Bankiras, use earthquake!" After seeing that Bankiras was not seriously injured, Gongsun Yan immediately ordered Bankiras to continue the attack.
"The demonic fire red fox can move objects with its mind." Yan Lingji said confidently.
Bangilas raised his right foot high and stomped it hard on the ground. A violent earthquake wave spread out from the soles of Bangilas' feet.
The Demonic Fire Red Fox was not in a hurry when she saw this. She waved the branches in her hands casually a few times. A blue superpower emerged from the soles of her feet, gently lifting up the other party and perfectly avoiding the earthquake.
"As expected, you have a way. I thought you were going to use telekinesis to stop Bankiras from using Earthquake. It turns out that your target is not Bankiras, but yourself? I was planning to mock you for forgetting the attribute restraint table."
Gongsun Yan chuckled upon seeing this, and his eyes looking at Yan Lingji became brighter and brighter. Don't get the wrong idea, Gongsun Yan just thought that the other party was a good opponent worthy of his all efforts.
"Hmph, psychic powers aren't something inconvenient. Don't think that you can easily win just because evil-type Pokémon are immune to psychic-type moves." Yan Lingji also smiled proudly.
"Superpowers are indeed amazing, but it's not that simple on our side. Bankiras, rush over and use the bite!" Gongsun Yan's face turned serious and he gave the order to Bankiras.
"Finally, what I've been waiting for, Demonic Fire Red Fox, make the grass knot!" Yan Lingji suddenly revealed a bright smile and gave the order quickly.
"boom!"
Chapter 441: Re-enactment of famous scenes
"Snapped!"
After a puff of smoke dissipated, Banguilas "hit the ground with its head". This Pokémon fell to the ground. Because of its weight, a small part of its body was buried in the ground, which looked very funny.
"I didn't expect that the Demonic Fire Red Fox would actually use a grass-type move like Grass Knot. How should I put it? I'm surprised, but I don't understand why you want to use this move. Isn't this asking for trouble?" Gongsun Yan covered his eyes with some reluctance.
The move Grass Knot creates a grass ring on the ground, tripping the opponent in action. The faster and heavier the Pokémon, the more damage it will suffer. For a giant Pokémon like Bankiras, the damage of this move cannot be ignored.
"Hmm?" After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Yan Lingji was a little confused as to why Gongsun Yan said that, but she soon understood.
"class!!!"
Bangilas pushed his strong arms against the ground and pulled his body out of the ground. Looking at the demonic red fox that made him look bad, his eyes, which were already full of hostility, were instantly covered with blood red.
The violent sandstorm, with Bangilas as the leader, raged across the entire battlefield, directly covering the sun.
"That's the situation. Even I can't stop Bangilas when he's furious, not to mention he's using the Reverse Scale move. He won't stop until he defeats the enemy in front of him."
Gongsun Yan looked at Bangilas, who was showing the aura of a desert tyrant. He seemed to be kindly reminding him, but in fact, he could not hide the pride in his tone.
"Bankiras, fire with all your might!" Gongsun Yan was also rarely enthusiastic.
"Ban!!!" After getting Gongsun Yan's permission, Bangilas sincerely showed a ferocious smile and slowly walked towards the direction of the demon fire red fox.
"Demon Fire Red Fox, make a grass knot!" Yan Lingji was still preparing to use the same trick again and let the Demon Fire Red Fox continue to use the grass knot.
The demon fire red fox was also very obedient and used the grass knot again, trying to make Bangilas repeat the same mistake. However, Bangilas didn't care about the extra trip rope under his feet and continued to move forward.
"Bang!" As Bangilas became serious, the grass knot used by the Demon Fire Red Fox couldn't even block it. Bangilas didn't even use much strength and directly broke the grass knot.
