The exchange of memories allowed the two Gongsun Yans to understand what the other was thinking without too much communication, so there was naturally no need to continue communicating.
"Indeed, goodbye then. I will always keep an eye on you. Don't forget our common dream."
As if to confirm what Gongsun Yan said, the surrounding fog became thinner, and the figure of the other Gongsun Yan began to distort. He only had time to say one sentence to Gongsun Yan before disappearing.
"Oh, I know. Meeting all kinds of Pokémon, meeting all kinds of trainers, and finally becoming a hero."
Feeling the sunlight penetrating the mist and shining on him, Gongsun Yan murmured his dream, but there was no response from his side.
"Kapu Fin~ (You have a strong willpower. I was ready to pull you out at any time, but you managed to hold on.)" Kapu Finfin looked at Gongsun Yan in surprise and nodded in astonishment.
"Of course, I'm not fighting alone!" Gongsun Yan said with a hint of meaning.
"Kafen~ (Although I don't quite understand, you should have gotten the answer you wanted. This is for you.)" Kapu Finfen waved his hand, and a small ball of water was thrown towards Gongsun Yan.
"Purifying water? Thank you very much, this is exactly what I need." Gongsun Yan recognized what the water was at a glance. After thanking Tapu Finfin, Gongsun Yan tilted his head back and drank the water.
The purifying water has the effect of purifying the body and mind. Gongsun Yan had just swallowed it when he felt his body and mind suddenly become happy, sweeping away the pent-up emotions in his heart, as if he had a SPA on a spiritual level.
The sad mood that had originally become somewhat due to communicating with Xue and another self suddenly calmed down. It was not that I simply forgot those things, but that I was able to face them with a more rational attitude.
"Kapu~ (Since your goal has been achieved, I will leave first. You can walk around Poni Island freely. The two great gods have left their marks on you. All Pokémon in the Alola region will not take the initiative to attack you.)" After saying this, Tapu Kapu disappeared from the spot in an instant.
"Well, it seems that the matter has been resolved. It's time for me to go back to the Aether Paradise. My mother-in-law should still be waiting for my answer." Gongsun Yan stretched, took back Groudon beside him, turned over and sat on Rayquaza.
"Eh? Wait, Rayquaza, don't leave yet. I think I saw something interesting."
Just as Rayquaza was about to take off, Gongsun Yan suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a cave under the Sun Altar, and hurriedly stopped Rayquaza.
"If we remember correctly, this cave should be?" Gongsun Yan walked to the front of the cave, observed the environment, and confirmed his guess.
If he remembered correctly, this cave should be the lair of Scalyx, Scalyx, and Heart. As quasi-god Pokémon of the Alola region, they live around the Sun Altar.
"Hiss, Adonit, I feel a little excited. This is a fifth-generation Pokémon with perfect dual-strike capabilities that only exists in theory. Should I capture one?" Gongsun Yan was a little hesitant.
Although the Staff-tailed Squamata in the anime has always seemed to have little presence for various reasons, its status as a quasi-god is beyond reproach, and its strength is definitely not inferior to any other quasi-god.
Unfortunately, the timing of his appearance was really not good. If he had appeared in the fifth generation, Scaleddon would definitely be a Pokémon that could be deified. Unfortunately, he only appeared in the seventh generation. At that time, fairy-type Pokémon were rampant, and he was four times weaker than fairies, so he was really severely suppressed.
Moreover, the racial value distribution of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon is too balanced, so balanced that if he does not take the strengthening route in the game, he will have no chance to appear at all. However, if he faces traditional fairy-type output players, he will not have the confidence to stand on the field at all.
As a result, the speed and stamina racial values of the Armored Dragon are not high, and it is completely unable to be a main output. Otherwise, it is likely to be taken away directly by the opponent's burst. After losing its exclusive Z move in the eighth generation, its appearance rate has been declining, which is simply horrible.
But this is the real Pokémon world. The weaknesses in the game are not a big problem at all in the real world. There are always more solutions than problems. It just depends on whether you can think of them.
"Forget it, why think so much? If you want to subdue it, then go ahead and subdue it. It's not like I won't train it. At worst, I can form a quasi-god team to fight in the Quartz Conference and let others see how powerful the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon is."
Gongsun Yan found that his hesitation was completely unnecessary. He was not like Xiaomao, who would just sit there and play after capturing Pokémon. Although Xiaomao also rotated the Pokémon in his hands on time, he had captured too many Pokémon, and it might take several months to rotate them all.
Chapter 21 Rayquaza Takes Action
After making up his mind, Gongsun Yan retracted the Split Sky Throne and walked towards the cave under the Sun Altar. What came into view was a deep path, and Gongsun Yan groped his way forward in the darkness.
Gongsun Yan's vision changed from dark to bright, and the surrounding space gradually became larger. Then, he heard a series of rapid sounds of scales vibrating at high speeds.
The cave was not very deep, and Gongsun Yan reached the end in less than five minutes. However, the cave was interconnected and obviously had more than one entrance.
Deep in the cave, there is a huge space with large and small caves on the surrounding rock walls. With the arrival of Gongsun Yan, one Pokémon after another stood up from the space, their eyes were red and emitted a strong red light. They looked at Gongsun Yan sharply, obviously disliking him very much.
"Clang, clang!" The vibrating sound of the scales continued to ring, echoing sharply and harshly in this somewhat enclosed space.
"Hiss!" Such a harsh sound was unbearable for Gongsun Yan. He quickly covered his ears and opened his mouth to prevent his eardrums from bursting.
Rayquaza jumped out of the Poké Ball on Gongsun Yan's waist. He felt very angry now. There was actually a dragon-type Pokémon that dared to attack his trainer in front of him, not taking him seriously at all!
"Roar!!!"
A deafening sound rang out from Rayquaza's mouth, and the sound waves rolled, exploding directly in this enclosed space. Cracks appeared on the surrounding rock walls, and waves of dragon might filled the entire cave.
The Heart Scale Treasures were caught off guard by the roar of Rayquaza, which was filled with anger and dragon power. They all felt dizzy and fell out of the cave.
Aside from the Heart Scale Treasure, the conditions of the Armored Dragon and the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon were not much better. Since the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon was the final evolution, its endurance was much higher, but it was a little dizzy.
However, the number of Staff-tailed Armored Dragons is still a minority, and the conditions of the remaining Armored Dragons are much worse. Although they did not fall into coma like the Heart Scaled Treasure, they also felt very painful and could not stand steadily, staggering from side to side.
"Huh, Rayquaza, thanks. This feels much better." Gongsun Yan rubbed his ears, with a hint of fear still on his face.
"Roar!"
Before Gongsun Yan could rest assured, another huge roar filled the cave. The ground in the cave suddenly shook and large pieces of rock fell down.
A huge rod-tailed armored dragon, several times the size of a normal rod-tailed armored dragon, crawled out from the ground. Its eyes were very fierce and domineering. When it first came out, the scales on its body were still shaking, and its roar was like a booming war drum.
However, the domineering attitude of this Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon only lasted for a short while. After he saw the Rayquaza perched behind Gongsun Yan, he immediately became wilted.
"Roar!"
Seeing that the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon took the initiative to admit defeat, Rayquaza behind Gongsun Yan did not intend to let the opponent go so easily. He rushed forward and knocked the opponent over with his tail.
Because there is no light on Rayquaza's tail, this tail attack is not a special move, but a simple basic attack, but it also seems extremely insulting.
"Qiang Qiang!"
The Overlord Armored Dragon stood up and shook the scales on his body again. Although he would admit defeat to Rayquaza, he also had the dignity of an Overlord Pokémon. Since Rayquaza humiliated him like this, he would naturally fight back.
The Overlord Staff-Tailed Scaled Dragon roared in battle, and the scales on its body began to tremble. The noise of the scales exploded and covered the Rayquaza.
However, the sonic attack that the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon clan was proud of was like a joke in front of Rayquaza. Not only did Rayquaza not dodge, he even had the leisure to block Gongsun Yan behind him to prevent Gongsun Yan from being affected.
After seeing that the sonic attack had no effect, the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon simply gave up on the long-range attack. He was not only good at sonic attacks. He raised his thick arms like beams and swung them towards Rayquaza.
Facing the dragon claw attack of the Overlord Staff-tailed Armored Dragon, Rayquaza was disdainful and casually mobilized the dragon energy in his body. The dragon power on the dragon claws gathered and collided head-on with the Overlord Staff-tailed Armored Dragon.
Then the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon was knocked away, and Rayquaza's figure only retreated a little, and even his movements were not deformed at all, not to mention the damage, there was absolutely no damage at all.
Gongsun Yan had no intention of commanding Rayquaza. Are you kidding? Do you need to command an enemy like this? Besides, the confrontation between dragon-type Pokémon is more about physical fitness. As a trainer, it is difficult for him to intervene.
So Gongsun Yan randomly found a seat to sit and watch the show, without even avoiding Xin Linbao and Linjialong, he just sat there. Anyway, they didn't dare to attack him.
And Gongsun Yan believes that Rayquaza can win, even if both sides are king-level Pokémon, but Rayquaza is a legendary Pokémon, and the advantages of a legendary Pokémon cannot be made up for by the so-called overlord template!
"Hey, I'm not a demon, why stay so far away from me."
Gongsun Yan shouted to the Heart Scale Treasures and Scale-Armored Dragons around him. Although he felt that his attitude was very good, those Heart Scale Treasures and Scale-Armored Dragons seemed to be avoiding him as much as possible and moved away from Gongsun Yan.
"Oh, forget it. There's such a big space here, but we have to squeeze into such a small place. It's really weird." Gongsun Yan shook his head and said in surprise, but he immediately found something funny.
"Little guy, you are not afraid of me. It's really rare."
Gongsun Yan reached out and picked up a Heart-Scaled Treasure that came to his feet, and started to play with it happily, with a childlike smile on his face.
"Lin~ (Who can save me!)"
On the surface, Gongsun Yan and Xinlinbao were having a lot of fun playing there, but if you looked closely, you could see that Xinlinbao's movements were a little stiff and his eyes were full of despair.
In fact, this Heart Scale Treasure did not come close to Gongsun Yan because of its courage. Instead, it was stunned by the dragon power of Rayquaza and had not yet fully woken up. It lost its way for a while and was caught by Gongsun Yan.
However, no matter how the Heart Scale Treasure winked at its own kind, they pretended not to see it and lowered their heads, hoping that Gongsun Yan would not shift his gaze to them. It would be better for me to die than for my fellow Taoist to die. Anyway, this Heart Scale Treasure was not very popular among them.
Chapter 22: Simple Crush
While Gongsun Yan and Xinlinbao were having a "cordial and friendly" exchange, Rayquaza was fighting with the overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon, and the battle was shaking the earth.
However, it is not very accurate to say that there was a battle. It was simply Rayquaza beating the overlord Scutum, hitting from left to right and from right to left. It looked like a game of badminton and there was no order at all.
The Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon is huge in size, and although it has difficulty moving, each of its moves is very powerful. However, for Rayquaza, it is just a piece of cake and its attacks never cause any damage to Rayquaza. To be precise, every move is easily taken by Rayquaza, who then responds with a more powerful move.
Moreover, the power of the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon's moves made Gongsun Yan a little overwhelmed. To describe it as "much ado about nothing" would be an exaggeration. Gongsun Yan could not help but frown. The Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon was much weaker than she expected.
Rayquaza was getting a little bored of playing, and in an instant he appeared at the feet of the Overlord Staff-tailed Armored Dragon. With a sweep of his tail, he actually knocked the Overlord Staff-tailed Armored Dragon to the ground, causing the entire cave to tremble.
Gongsun Yan was even more stunned. Although he knew from the animation that the strength of the overlord Pokémon was a little weak and completely disproportionate to their size, he did not expect them to be so weak.
Gongsun Yan had fought against several dominant Pokémon before, but he never felt any real power. It might be because Pokémon like Rattata, Meerkat, and Sandbender never had several powerful Pokémon of the same species.
But Dragonite is different, it is a quasi-god Pokémon of the Alola region, and a special overlord Pokémon. Gongsun Yan had always given him the template of Dragonite, but he found out that he was wrong.
Although the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon had not completely lost its combat capability, it was still beyond Gongsun Yan's expectations that it was defeated so easily by Rayquaza.
"My goodness, your lower body is too unstable. If you practice boxing without standing still, it will all be in vain when you get old!" Gongsun Yan couldn't bear to watch it anymore. This overlord staff-tailed armored dragon was simply not worthy of his huge size of five meters tall.
"Staff~~~~"
Realizing that he, as the overlord, was easily defeated by his opponent, even though his opponent was a divine beast, the overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon fell into infinite anger. The scales on his body trembled, golden light flashed, and the shadow of a giant dragon shone.
"Soul Dance Sonic Boom?" Gongsun Yan pronounced the name of this move used by the Overlord Staff-Tailed Scaled Armored Dragon with a little difficulty.
The effect of the move Soul Dance Sonic Boom is to reduce one third of physical strength, and then enhance various abilities of the individual. It is a very good auxiliary move, but the name is really full of middle school vibes, and the pronunciation is very strange, Gongsun Yan almost pronounced it wrong.
However, what made Gongsun Yan and Rayquaza laugh and cry was that the shadow of the giant dragon that appeared behind the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon was exactly the appearance of Rayquaza, which made Rayquaza feel embarrassed to take action.
Using special moves to increase his strength, the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon quickly stood up and challenged Rayquaza again. Although the dragon god he worshipped was Rayquaza, it was not the Rayquaza of Gongsun Yan, which was why he was able to attack Rayquaza.
However, the Overlord Staff-tailed Armored Dragon had just stood up when Rayquaza flew over and slapped it in the face with its tail again, knocking it to the ground again and then crushing it inhumanely.
The attack was sharp and merciless, making Gongsun Yan, a bystander, feel a little sorry for the overlord, the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon. He really couldn't realize that this guy had the nerve to call himself the overlord. He was obviously just a poor little creature.
He clearly already has the strength of a king, and with the Overlord template, it is obvious that ordinary champion-level Pokémon can't possibly gain any advantage over him. However, his performance in the battle was so bad that even Gongsun Yan couldn't stand it.
In fact, Gongsun Yan really wanted to interview this overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon. How could he, with the realm of a Heavenly King and the Overlord template, only exert the strength of a quasi-Heavenly King? Gongsun Yan couldn't figure it out.
Even though Rayquaza is a mythical beast and a member of the same clan as the dragon god worshipped by the Overlord Staff-tailed Armored Dragon, the Overlord Staff-tailed Armored Dragon is a little timid. Its strength is a little too outrageous.
"Oh, Amitabha, I still can't stand such a rough scene, so I can only turn around."
Gongsun Yan shed two crocodile tears, turned around, and stopped looking at the crushing battle over there. He concentrated on stroking the heart-scale treasure in his hand.
Gongsun Yan suddenly discovered that the heart-shaped scale on Xinlinbao's head felt surprisingly good. The texture that felt like both metal and crystal made Gongsun Yan unable to stop, and his dirty hands kept sliding on it.
"Lin~" Facing Gongsun Yan's dirty hands, Xin Linbao not only did not feel any resistance, but instead moved closer to Gongsun Yan with a flattering look on his face.
There was no way. The strongest tribe leader among them was beaten to a pulp by one of the opponent's Pokémon. He was still a weak and helpless Heartscale Pokémon, so naturally he had to choose to follow his heart.
"boom!"
After a loud bang, the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon fell down with a bang, landing heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Roar!"
Rayquaza raised his neck and let out an excited roar. The surrounding Heart-Scaled Dragons and Scaled Dragons, and even the few Staff-Tailed Scaled Dragons, shook the scales on their bodies, celebrating Rayquaza's victory.
The battles between Pokémon groups have always been cruel and ruthless, with the fittest surviving and the losers retreating, and even death is a very normal thing.
If Pokémon of the same species are fighting there, the winner will become the new king and lead the group, and the loser will be expelled.
But if the Pokémon are of different races, the loser's race will often be expelled, losing their place of residence, all their food, and even their dignity.
Originally, the battle between Rayquaza and the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon should have been of the latter type. Scaled Heart and Scaled Dragon should have shared a common hatred of the enemy and launched a desperate resistance against the winner.
But who made Rayquaza a divine beast? His destiny was to be in the sky. There was no way a place like a cave could possibly be his residence. Plus, this group of Heart-Scaled Treasures and Scaled Dragons, led by their overlord, the Staff-Tailed Scaled Dragon, all had a spirit of worship for Rayquaza.
So Rayquaza won, and Scaleheart and Scaled Dragon also expressed their heartfelt congratulations.
Chapter 23: I have conquered the Heart Scale Treasure!
The Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon stood up with difficulty, and looked at Rayquaza who was showing off in front of Gongsun Yan. He lowered his head to show his obedience to the other party, and spat out two pieces of Z-pure crystal from his mouth.
Originally, the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon thought that Gongsun Yan's Split Sky Seat was still very young and not strong enough to make him obey, but after the battle just now, he understood the fact that the divine beast should not be humiliated.
"Oh, how embarrassing." Seeing the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon spit out two pieces of Z-pure crystal, Gongsun Yan quickly reached out and picked up the two pieces of Z-pure crystal.
After getting these two pieces of Z-pure crystal, Gongsun Yan found that one of the Z-pure crystals looked a little strange. After taking a closer look, he found that one was a dragon-type Z-pure crystal, and the other was the exclusive Z-pure crystal of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon.
After seeing this Staff-tail Scale Armored Dragon Z, Gongsun Yan became even more determined to tame a Heart-Scaled Dragon. It would be a pity to have such a good thing but not be able to use it.
However, after thinking about the Z move that required dancing awkwardly, Gongsun Yan hesitated again. The ability of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon Z was very strong, so Gongsun Yan should have used it many times, but it was really embarrassing to dance awkwardly in public.
The Z move itself is similar to the ancient sacrificial dance, so it seems very personal. Normal people will not feel any sense of incongruity, but people like Gongsun Yan who think it is abnormal will be so embarrassed that they will have to buy a three-bedroom apartment.
In fact, many kings and champions in the league know that there are Z-moves in the Alola region, but they are not very keen on these things. In addition to the reason that the interval between using Z-moves in places outside of Alola will be much longer, it is mostly because they are too embarrassed to do so.
Because of the special magnetic field in the Alola region, dominant Pokémon and Z-Crystals can be produced continuously. As long as the trainer's spirit can hold up, Z moves can be used as unlimited firepower. However, in other regions, there is no such unique condition. It takes a whole day to fully replenish the energy in a Z-Crystal.
Among the people Gongsun Yan knew, Daigo had a complete set of Z-pure crystals in his collection, and there were also many scattered Z-pure crystals, but he had never used them.
The reason is very simple, that is, he thinks that Z moves are incompatible with his elegant aristocratic style. He collects them more for his own collecting hobby rather than for use.
"Forget it, I'll just treat it as a way to practice my thick skin." Gongsun Yan hesitated for a while between strength and thick skin, and then chose strength very simply, and put the two Z-pure crystals into his pocket with satisfaction.
Gongsun Yan came to the Sun Altar just to communicate with Solgaleo and Lunala to see if they had anything to say to him, but he ended up stuffing five Z pure crystals and one exclusive Z into his pocket.
Gongsun Yan now has five Z-pure crystals in his hand. It seems that in the current Alola region, except for the King of the Island, there are not many people who can possess so many Z-pure crystals.
