At first, Gongsun Yan wanted to cover Liliae's eyes to prevent her from seeing such a cruel scene, but Liliae obviously didn't want to be a flower in a greenhouse, so she directly pushed Gongsun Yan's hand away and wanted to face her fear.
And Liliae still hasn't recovered. Although she has seen so many fierce Pokémon battles, they were all battles on the field. No matter how fierce they were, they would stop at a certain point. It was nowhere as bloody as it is now.
However, Liliae's psychological endurance is still very good, otherwise there would not be so many wonderful performances in the original work. After a short period of discomfort, Liliae was finally able to face up to everything she saw, although she still felt a little uncomfortable.
However, the Pokémon that appeared next successfully attracted Liliae's attention and pulled her out of the previous shadow. Those Pokémon were not rare Pokémon, they were just the Rattata clan that could be seen everywhere in Kanto.
Although Rada is very common, for Liliae who comes from the Alola region, the difference between the normal form of Rada and the Alola form of Rada is a bit too big. This sense of incongruity successfully diverted Liliae's attention.
Chapter 5 A Spectacular Scene
Meeting the Rada clan was a small episode on the journey. After more than an hour's flight, Gongsun Yan and Liliae successfully arrived outside the town of Pallet Town.
After arriving at the outskirts of Pallet Town, Gongsun Yan immediately landed Charizard. He came to visit his senior, and it would be too impolite to fly in on a flying Pokémon, so Gongsun Yan landed on the outskirts of the town and walked the rest of the way.
After the two jumped off the back of Charizard, the first thing they felt was probably the emptiness. Although Professor Oak set up the research institute here for quietness, it is too retro.
Zhenxin Town is a standard town, not even a well-developed one. Its scale is not even as big as a village in Gongsun Yan's previous life. Although there is a lot of land around it, it is probably because a previous batch of crops matured and were harvested, so all the land is now vacant.
I don't know if it's a common problem among the PhDs in this area, but they always like to set up research institutes in very primitive villages, and the areas around the research institutes are not developed, which seems to be a lifestyle of living by the mountains and rivers.
The only exception to the regional doctor is probably Dr. Blatano from the Carlos region. Although he is a student of Dr. Yamanashi, he has not inherited his teacher's old-fashionedness at all. He is very romantic and humorous. His research institute is located in the most luxurious location in Miare City, surrounded by various shops.
But this also has its drawbacks. Although Dr. Blatano has a greenhouse of considerable area in the downtown area for his research and storage of trainers' Pokémon, it is very small compared to the backyards of other regional professors that are as big as several mountains.
However, Dr. Blatano's main research is mega evolution, so whether he has such a large backyard is not a big problem. He studied under Dr. Yamanashi, so he can be regarded as inheriting his teacher's mantle.
After all, Dr. Yamanashi is an authority on Pokémon evolution. For example, the evolution methods of Charmeleon and Electabuzz were discovered by him. The Lava Amplifier and Electric Amplifier are also research products of the Yamanashi Research Institute.
His disciple also chose to study the evolution of Pokémon, and the recently emerging mega evolution. I'm sure that Professor Yamanashi, with his ferocious expression, would also feel very happy.
Gongsun Yan and Liliae were strolling in the town of Pallet Town. To be honest, Gongsun Yan didn't want to admit that this was really a town, because every household in the town lived in very scattered places, and the locations of each household's fields were different, so each household's house was around its own field.
It is also very easy to find the Oak Research Institute. The highest place in the entire Pallet Town is the Oak Research Institute. No matter where you stand in Pallet Town, as long as you look up, you will definitely find the location of the Oak Research Institute.
Before going to the Oak Research Institute, Gongsun Yan went to Xiaozhi's house specially to see if Xiaozhi was at home. If he was, he would take him to the Oak Research Institute.
However, Gongsun Yan did not meet Xiaozhi, but only saw Xiaozhi's mother Hanako. According to Hanako's description, after Xiaozhi came back, he ran to the Oak Research Institute as soon as he got up every day, and was more active than going to work.
Gongsun Yan said that he was familiar with this, as he spent the time in Weibai Town the same way after the competition, but the difference was that he would run to Liliae's room and pull her over as well.
For Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi, two people who love Pokémon very much, the first thing they do when they wake up every day is naturally to find their respective Pokémon. Without this love, Xiaozhi would not be Xiaozhi, and Gongsun Yan would not be Gongsun Yan.
After learning where Satoshi was going, Kosun Yan and Lillie politely said goodbye to Hanako. Kosun Yan gave Hanako the local specialties and souvenirs he brought from Hoenn and Alola regions, and rushed to the Oak Laboratory with Lillie.
It must be said that although Dr. Oak built the research institute at such a high place and it looked very impressive, the long uphill climb really made Gongsun Yan's legs a little weak, especially since he was carrying two people's luggage on his back, which made it even more difficult.
These were nothing. After Gongsun Yan and Liliae walked into the Oak Research Institute, a very strange scene appeared in front of them. Inside such a huge research institute, there were no less than twenty people cooking instant noodles in beakers, and there were quite a few children among them.
"Hey, Xiaoyan, you're here. This instant noodles tastes pretty good. Would you and Liliae like two bowls? The beaker and instant noodles are on the table next to you."
When Dr. Oak saw Gongsun Yan and the other man coming, he specially leaned out to welcome them and generously invited them to eat noodles together. It would have been better if he could remember to suck the noodles at the corner of his mouth into his mouth.
"Oh, okay, I do have some... No, this isn't the time to talk about this! Professor Oak, why are you still eating instant noodles, and you're cooking them in a beaker? Where's Kikuko Tenno, isn't she taking care of you?!"
Gongsun Yan was originally leaning towards the table very naturally, but halfway through he reacted and started to complain to Professor Oak.
"Well, today Kikuko had to go to Quartz Plateau to prepare to step down as the king, so she left two days ago." Professor Oak said without any embarrassment.
"So you started to act unrestrained, right? Really, King Kikuko is also thinking about your health. Eating instant noodles alone is not nutritious. And, have you started the summer camp for these kids this year?" Gongsun Yan said weakly.
"Yes, these children are here to attend the summer camp. They all love Pokémon." Professor Oak looked at the children around him kindly.
“And you let these kids eat instant noodles? I really feel uneasy for the parents who sent their children here. This is too unreliable.” Gongsun Yan couldn’t bear to watch it.
"What's wrong? Instant noodles are delicious. Besides, the instant noodles I choose are very nutritious. They can provide all the nutrients the human body needs."
"I don't object to this, after all, you are a person of high status. But since you already know that you are going to hold a summer camp, then at least during this period of time, can't you invite a chef over? If not, you can invite Xiaozhi's mother over!"
Chapter 6: Children's Worship
Faced with Gongsun Yan's complaints, Professor Oak obviously felt a little embarrassed. This was indeed his mistake. In fact, he also had the idea of asking Xiaozhi's mother Hanako to come to the research institute to be responsible for the meals during the summer camp, but he always forgot.
As a result, until today, when the children came to the Oak Laboratory one after another, he did not discuss this matter with Hanako. Even though Satoshi came to the Oak Laboratory every day to meet his Pokémon, he did not think of asking Satoshi to bring a message, so they had to have a simple lunch and wait until the afternoon to talk to Hanako about this matter.
"Ahem, actually, I have thought about this matter, but I just forgot about it." Dr. Oak said embarrassedly.
"Oh, really, please pay more attention to these things. By the way, where is Satoshi? Where is he?" Gongsun Yan looked around and found that there was no sign of Satoshi, so he asked Professor Oak.
"Oh, Xiaozhi, he should be having lunch with his Pokémon now. You can go and take a look. It's under the big tree in the backyard of the institute. Xiaozhi's Snorlax often sleeps under that tree." Professor Oak thought for a while and told Gongsun Yan the location where Xiaozhi might appear.
"OK, I won't disturb your lunch time. Liliae, let's go find Xiaozhi first. Let me tell you, Xiaozhi has a lot of good Pokémon, especially that Snorlax. I've always wanted to lie on Snorlax's belly."
Gongsun Yan casually said goodbye to Professor Oak, then took Liliae to the backyard of the research institute. It seems that he is really obsessed with Snorlax.
In fact, Gongsun Yan has liked Pokémon like Snorlax since his previous life, not only because of his performance in the anime, but also because of his big belly. Gongsun Yan has long wanted to try rolling around on it.
When he was at the Orange Gym, Gongsun Yan actually thought about realizing his dream. After all, Qianli had a Snorlax in his hand, and Gongsun Yan had long wanted to try Snorlax's soft belly.
However, what can be said about Gongsun Yan at that time? He was not weak, but he was vulnerable. Gongsun Yan had tried countless plans, from forcing with force to tempting with delicious food, but none of them succeeded once.
The experience at that time made Gongsun Yan fully understand how powerful his master Qianli was. He had actually used the energy blocks he had carefully prepared, intending to use delicious food to make Snorlax submit.
As a result, no one knows what kind of cruel training Qianli gave to his Pokémon. Snorlax, a Pokémon that is famous for its love of eating, actually resisted the temptation of delicious food in Qianli's hands and refused to obey.
Then Gongsun Yan was trained well by Qianli who came after hearing the news. The hardships involved are beyond the imagination of outsiders. These sufferings later became the nourishment to support Gongsun Yan's growth, so it is better not to mention it.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Snorlax is a notoriously rare Pokémon. It's not for any other reason, but mainly because there is not enough food to feed it, so the number of Snorlax has always been quite small.
For this opportunity, Gongsun Yan specially prepared the original Energy Cube, intending to use it to bribe Xiaozhi's Snorlax, in order to justify his Energy Cube. He said that the reason why Qianli's Snorlax was not tempted was not because of his Energy Cube, but because Qianli's Snorlax was too BT.
What Gongsun Yan didn't know was that after he and Liliae left, the children who had been quietly playing in the background at the summer camp immediately became active.
"Neinei, Professor Oak, could that person be Mr. Gongsun Yan, the opponent of Mr. Xiaozhi in the finals of the Caiyou Conference not long ago?!"
A little child came straight up to Professor Oak and asked him excitedly. Although the other children around him were not so excited, the flashes in their eyes showed that they were not as calm as they looked.
"Um, kids, you don't have to call them gentlemen. Didn't Xiaozhi refute you? As for the problem you mentioned, yes, he is Gongsun Yan who owns Groudon."
"Yeah! I knew that was really Mr. Gongsun Yan. I've watched the video of the Caiyou Conference several times. There's no way I could have made a mistake!"
The group of kids seemed not to have heard what Professor Oak had asked them to change their name. They kept discussing Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi. It was obvious that Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi had gained a group of followers without their knowledge.
If Gongsun Yan knew about this, he would surely smile bitterly. After all, that was how Xiaozhi reacted when he found out about this, and Gongsun Yan was no exception.
"Professor Oak, will Mr. Gongsun Yan be our leader for the next few days, just like Mr. Xiaozhi?!"
"Well, I've already said no need to add Mr. Jia... maybe, I'll mention it to him when the time comes. Whether he agrees or not is another matter!"
"Yeah! Long live Professor Oak!"
So, Gongsun Yan was about to be asked to take care of a group of children, but he was unaware of this at the time. After passing through one research area after another, Gongsun Yan and Liliae successfully arrived at the backyard of the Oak Research Institute. Looking at the endless grassland, Gongsun Yan and Liliae couldn't help but marvel at it.
"As expected of the Oak Research Institute, with such a wide lawn, no wonder Xiaozhi's thirty Kentaros can run freely, they are really rich!"
To be honest, the backyard of the Ohki Institute is really spectacular. Although in terms of area alone, the area of the Odawara Institute is not smaller than that of the Ohki Institute, the backyard of the Odawara Institute is mostly mountainous, and there is really no such large grassland.
"Hey, Xiaoyan, look, Xiaozhi should be there."
Just as Gongsun Yan was sighing there, Liliae suddenly pulled Gongsun Yan's sleeve, pointed in the direction of the backyard, and whispered to Gongsun Yan.
"There's no way to run away. With that group of Kentaros, Xiaozhi must be in the middle of the herd." Gongsun Yan said with a grin.
I saw that there was a tall tree in the place where Liliae pointed. There was a group of Pokémon surrounding the tree. There were many kinds of Pokémon, but the most conspicuous one was the Kentaro, which was definitely more than twenty in number.
After knowing where Xiaozhi was, Gongsun Yan and Liliae did not stay for long and went straight to where the Pokémon gathered.
Chapter 7 Gongsun Yan's Recall Plan (Xiaozhi Version)
After Gongsun Yan and Liliae passed through the encirclement formed by Kentaro, what came into view was Satoshi surrounded by various Pokémon. Almost all the Pokémon that Satoshi had captured were gathered here, and who else could be sitting in the center if not Satoshi.
The reason why it is basic is mainly because of Ash's much-criticized behavior of releasing Pokémon. Of Ash's six well-known Pokémon, except for Pikachu who has always been by his side and Bulbasaur guarding the backyard of Oak Laboratory, the other four have gone their separate ways.
At this time, Ash's old Charizard was still training in Charizard Valley, Squirtle was working as a civil servant in the Squirtle Fire Department, Pidgeot was released by Ash into an unknown forest outside Viridian City, and Butterfree was pursuing love.
In fact, Ash had another Pokémon in the original group, and that was Infernape. This Pokémon was the most powerful Fighting-type Pokémon in Ash's hands when he first captured it, and it almost set the record for the fastest Pokémon to be sent away.
The only creature faster than Infernape might be the Beedrill at the insect catching competition. That one was really miserable, as it was sent away within minutes of being captured. But after all, there was no emotional foundation between them, so even the audience didn't feel any reluctance.
Speaking of Infernape, Gongsun Yan recalled the records of the P1 fighting tournament he had seen before, which clearly stated that Infernape was the champion of the previous fighting tournament. After that, Shan Dou took Infernape to various places to participate in various fighting tournaments, and won all of them.
To be honest, although Gongsun Yan didn't like Shan Dou very much, after all, for the victory of the P1 fighting tournament, he even abandoned his family and came out to practice alone. Gongsun Yan despised this kind of man who abandoned his wife and children the most. Later, he even took away Xiaozhi's ace Infernape.
But even so, Gongsun Yan had to admit that Shan Dou was still a bit of a talent. Even from those short videos of the finals, it could be seen that Infernape's strength had improved a lot when he participated in other fighting competitions.
Based on this fact, Gongsun Yan decided to give the other party a more decent ending. He asked him to take Infernape to participate in the upcoming new P1 Fighting Tournament, and automatically return Infernape to him after he lost to him, and spend the next few days with his family.
That's right, Gongsun Yan plans to participate in the upcoming P1 fighting competition. As for whether the participating Pokémon will be the evolved Pokemon or Lucario, it depends on whether Pokemon's strength can meet his requirements. He is determined to win that championship belt.
As for Shan Dou, to be honest, during this year, he took Infernape to participate in fighting competitions everywhere, and gained both fame and fortune, which was definitely worth the effort he put into training Infernape.
He is already quite old, so it would be better for him to return Infernape to Satoshi as soon as possible and stay at home to accompany his family. During this year, Infernape has been running around outside and has only returned home a few times. His situation is no different from the beginning.
Besides, he and Xiaozhi had agreed that Infernape would only stay with him for special training, and they didn't say that Infernape would be directly handed over to him. Now that the special training is over and the limelight has been revealed, it's time to let Infernape return to its original owner.
Another reason why Gongsun Yan wants to participate in the P1 Fighting Tournament is to stop Shandou. As the P1 Fighting Tournament is the largest fighting tournament in the Pokémon world, it is impossible for Shandou not to participate. At that time, Gongsun Yan will be able to catch Shandou who is running around.
If Shandou refuses to return Infernape to Satoshi, then Gongsun Yan may have to take some bad measures. Satoshi entrusted him to you for Infernape's sake, but you treated him as a cash cow and refused to return him. This is a bit too ugly.
Presumably, with Gongsun Yan's teaching of "persuading with emotion and moving with reason", Shan Dou should realize the true meaning of what Gongsun Yan said, and obediently return Infernape to Xiaozhi, and go home to be with his wife and children.
To be honest, it's thanks to the simplicity and loyalty of people in the Pokémon world, otherwise, Fan Dou, a guy who hasn't been home for two years and didn't even have any income in the first year, would have to have so many layers of hats on his head.
Since Infernape is in Gongsun Yan's recovery plan, not to mention Pidgeot. Gongsun Yan plans to capture Satoshi and take him to the forest later and let him take Pidgeot home.
To be honest, Gongsun Yan actually didn't understand what Ash was thinking by leaving Pidgeot in the forest. Even if you were afraid that those Toucans would be bad for Pidgeot and Pidgeot, wouldn't it be better for you to just capture them directly?
Although Pidgeot and Toucan are mortal enemies deeply rooted in their bloodlines and cannot appear at the same time, otherwise even the Pokémon of the same trainer will fight each other, but wouldn’t it be fine as long as they are not used together?
Besides, the backyard of the Oak Research Institute is so big that, let alone one Pidgeot and a few toucans, even if there were a hundred Pidgeots and a hundred toucans, they wouldn't cause any waves, and under normal circumstances, you wouldn't even be able to see each other.
Seeing the familiar faces surrounding Xiaozhi, Gongsun Yan's mind flashed through thousands of thoughts in an instant, and he became inexplicably excited. He had been traveling with Xiaozhi for such a long time, but after seeing these Pokémon, Gongsun Yan's impression of the Pokémon world immediately became richer.
"Hey, Xiaozhi, long time no see, you... why are you eating instant noodles too? Pikachu is the same, seafood-flavored instant noodles with ketchup? What kind of operation is this! And is Professor Oak bankrupt and can't even afford Pokémon food?!"
Gongsun Yan had originally prepared a set of words to greet Xiaozhi, but when he saw Xiaozhi, the soul of complaining that emerged in Gongsun Yan's body directly suppressed the soul of middle school, and he began to complain loudly.
It's not Gongsun Yan's fault, it's just that the scene in front of him is too eye-catching. All the Pokémon with hands in Xiaozhi's hands are holding a bowl of instant noodles, and the Pokémon without hands buried their heads in the plates to eat instant noodles. Such a spectacular scene, anyone who sees it will be confused.
"Hey, Xiaoyan, you are here too. Would you like to eat noodles?" Xiaozhi still had a mouthful of noodles in his mouth. He greeted Gongsun Yan incoherently while chewing.
"Yes, I'm here. There's no need for noodles. Lillie and I had dinner at Xiaomao's place, so we're not hungry yet." Gongsun Yan pulled Lillie and tried to find a place to sit down, but it was not easy to find the place as Xiaozhi and his Pokémon were surrounding them.
Chapter 8 Bulbasaur and Snorlax
"Dane!" After all, Bulbasaur was more sensible. Seeing that Gongsun Yan and Liliae had no place to sit, he took the initiative to stand up and give up his seat.
"Ah, thank you so much, Bulbasaur. As expected, you know better... Wait, Bulbasaur?!"
Gongsun Yan and Liliae sat down in the seat given up by Bulbasaur very embarrassedly. When Gongsun Yan just turned around to thank Bulbasaur beside him, he suddenly felt something was wrong. After taking a closer look, he realized what was wrong. Xiaozhi's Bulbasaur actually evolved? !
"Hey, hey, is there something wrong here? I remember Bulbasaur is not..."
The excessive shock directly caused Gongsun Yan to lose the ability to organize language, and the words he said could not be described as unclear. If it weren't for the fact that everyone present understood what Gongsun Yan wanted to say, no one would know what those few sentences from the heavenly book meant.
"Oh, you're talking about this, (chewing), it's actually very simple, but when I was talking to Xiaoyao before, (chewing), Xiaoyao said that her Bulbasaur successfully evolved into Bulbasaur, and she even let Bulbasaur and the others meet, (chewing), and then the next day Bulbasaur evolved into Bulbasaur."
"I roughly understand. Please finish the noodles in your mouth first. I will ask the rest of the questions later."
Looking at Xiaozhi's bulging cheeks, if Gongsun Yan had not learned lip reading for a period of time, he really would not have understood what Xiaozhi said. However, those few words also explained the doubts in Gongsun Yan's heart. No wonder Bulbasaur, who was so determined at the beginning, chose to evolve. It turned out that it was the power of love.
In fact, Gongsun Yan still had one thing he didn't understand. Xiaozhi had been eating instant noodles when he and Liliae first arrived, and Xiaozhi didn't stop eating when they were talking before. So why was there still so much noodles in such a small beaker after such a long time? This is not scientific.
Gongsun Yan, who thought of this problem, also asked Xiaozhi. He clearly remembered that Dewen Company did not have a design plan for such a product, so it must be a product of Silver Company in Kanto. It was normal for Gongsun Yan to be curious.
"Oh, you mean this one? It's said that this is a Pokémon that Professor Oak specially asked Silver Company to make. It's said that it uses the same technology as the energy cube that's exclusive to Snorlax."
"......Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry." Gongsun Yan was speechless. It was just a piece of instant noodles, but Professor Oak made it so fancy. The famous Silver Prosecutor would actually take such an order.
What can I say? Dr. Oak is worthy of being the honorary director of Silver Corporation. He actually troubled the researchers with such an outrageous thing, but those researchers actually made it. They are indeed top talents who can shine even if they are not in the same profession.
"Hey, Snorlax, I have some delicious food here."
After greeting Xiaozhi, Gongsun Yan immediately turned his attention to Snorlax who was lying beside him. Next to him was a huge beaker. Judging from the residue left in it, the instant noodles in it should be the same as the one in Xiaozhi's hand, with the only difference being a few zeros in the number of packets.
But even so, Xiaozhi's Snorlax still finished the instant noodles in the beaker in a short time, and is now lying in the shade of the tree for an afternoon nap.
So why do we need to use a beaker in this situation? Wouldn't it be better to just use a bucket? And what the hell is this such a big beaker? What are you going to use it for, Professor Oak? Are you going to take a bath?
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Snorlax used his huge body to do a standard sit-up and put his big face in front of Gongsun Yan, his eyes full of desire for food.
